NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(unaudited)
1.Description of the Company
JohnsonDiversey, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global marketer and manufacturer of commercial, industrial and institutional building maintenance and sanitation products.
The Company’s financial results include the discontinued operations of the Polymer Business segment, a global marketer and manufacturer of polymer intermediates, which was divested on June 30, 2006 (see Note 7).
2.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2006 and its results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is recommended that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2005.
The Company has accounted for the divestiture of the Polymer Business (see Note 7) as a discontinued operation, resulting in the reclassification of prior period amounts in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. None of these reclassifications are considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Unless otherwise indicated, all monetary amounts, excluding share data, are stated in thousands.
3.New Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R, which is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2006, is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method and recorded additional compensation expense of $224 and $314 during the three month period and six month period ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is required to adopt FIN 48 beginning in fiscal year 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4.Master Sales Agency Terminations
In connection with the May 2002 acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company entered into a master sales agency agreement (the “Sales Agency Agreement”) with Unilever, whereby the Company acts as an exclusive sales agent in the sale of Unilever’s consumer brand products to various institutional and industrial end-users. At acquisition, the Company assigned an intangible value to the Sales Agency Agreement of $13,000.
An agency fee is paid by Unilever to the Company in exchange for its sales agency services. An additional fee is payable by Unilever to the Company in the event that conditions for full or partial termination of the Sales Agency Agreement are met. The Company elected, and Unilever agreed, to partially terminate the Sales Agency Agreement in several territories resulting in payment by Unilever to the Company of additional fees. In association with the partial terminations, the Company recognized sales agency fee income of $38 and $6,359 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively; and $75 and $7,169 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively.
5.Lease Accounting Adjustment
In the first quarter of 2005, the Company identified inconsistencies in its accounting treatment for equipment leased to a European-based customer. Further analysis concluded that such leases should primarily be accounted for as sales-type capital leases rather than as operating leases. The cumulative impact of the correction was recorded by the Company in the three months ended April 1, 2005. The Company concluded that the impact of the accounting error was not significant to its current year, prior year and prior quarter consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and, as such, does not require restatement of prior year amounts. Below is a summary of the adjustment with increases to key measures in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2005:
| | | |
Net sales | | $ | 15,333 |
Gross profit | | | 5,764 |
Operating profit | | | 5,764 |
Net income | | | 3,770 |
6.Acquisitions
In February 2006, the Company purchased the remaining 15% of the outstanding shares of Shanghai JohnsonDiversey, Ltd., the Company’s Chinese operating entity, for $3,516. The Company previously held 85% of the outstanding shares and included the holding in its consolidated financial results. Goodwill recorded with respect to the transaction was $2,572.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with step acquisition rules. Operations from the acquisition are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition.
7.Discontinued Operations - Polymer Business
On June 30, 2006, Johnson Polymer, LLC (“JP”) and JohnsonDiversey Holdings II B.V. (“Holdings II”), an indirectly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of JP, certain of the equity interests in, or assets of certain of JP subsidiaries and all of the equity interests owned by Holdings II in Johnson Polymer B.V. (collectively, the “Polymer Business”) to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (“BASF”) for approximately $470,000 plus an additional $8,119 in connection with the parties’ estimate of purchase price adjustments that will be based upon the closing net asset value of the Polymer Business. The Company and BASF are expected to finalize purchase price adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2006.

The Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement between JP, Holdings II and BASF refers to ancillary agreements governing certain relationships between the parties, including a Supply Agreement and Tolling Agreement, each of which is not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
Supply Agreement
A ten-year global agreement providing for the supply of polymer products to the Company by BASF. Unless either party provides notice of its intent not to renew at least 3 years prior to the expiration of the 10 year term, the term of the agreement will extend for an additional 5 years. The agreement requires that the Company purchase a specified percentage of related product from BASF during the term of agreement. Subject to certain adjustments, the Company has a minimum volume commitment during each of the first five years of the agreement.
Tolling Agreement
A three-year agreement providing for the toll manufacture of polymer products by the Company, at its manufacturing facility in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, for BASF. The agreement may be extended six months by either party. The agreement specifies product pricing and provides BASF the right to purchase certain equipment retained by the Company.
In association with the Tolling Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $11,400 in compensation to S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc. (“SCJ”), a related party, primarily related to pre-payments and the right to extend terms on the lease agreement at the Sturtevant, Wisconsin manufacturing location.
On May 1, 2006, in association with the divestiture of the Polymer Business, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”), which is the parent of the Company’s direct parent, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Marga B.V., a subsidiary of Unilever, and Holdings amended and restated the Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of May 3, 2002 among the parties (as amended and restated, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Holdco and Marga B.V. own 66 2/3% and 33 1/3%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Holdings. Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company except for one share owned by SCJ. The amendment and restatement of the Stockholders’ Agreement included restatement of provisions relating to, among other things, share transfer restrictions, corporate governance, put and call options and rights of first offer and refusal and various other rights and obligations of the parties. In addition, the amendment and restatement adjusted the buyout formula relating to Marga B.V.’s shares in Holdings to require an incremental payment of $30,000 plus interest at the time of Marga B.V.’s exit. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for the issuance of options to Marga B.V. for the purchase of Holdings shares at exit, which, following exercise, will result in the incremental payment to Marga B.V., by Holdco, of up to $40,000, plus interest.

8.Divestiture of the Whitmire Micro-Gen Business
In June 2004, the Company completed the sale of Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc. (“Whitmire”) to Sorex Holdings, Ltd., a European pest-control manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom, for $46,000 cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
The purchase agreement provided for additional earn-out provisions based on future Whitmire net sales, for which the Company recorded $124 and $4,000 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, respectively. The income is included as a component of income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
9.Accounts Receivable Securitization
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement in March 2001 (the “Receivables Facility”) in March 2001 whereby they sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (“JWPRC”), a wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to nonconsolidated financial institutions (the “Conduits”) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduits) less the applicable reserve. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the Company’s total potential for securitization of trade receivables was $150,000.
In March 2006, the Receivables Facility was amended and restated to add a second conduit purchaser to the program and to allow the repurchase of the receivables of JP.
As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the Conduits held $112,200 and $111,300, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the Company had a retained interest of $132,361 and $149,197, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.
In July 2006, the Receivables Facility was amended to allow one of the conduit purchasers to exit the program, to allow the repurchase of the receivables of JohnsonDiversey SpA (Italy), and to reduce the total potential for securitization of trade receivables to $75,000.
10.Indebtedness and Credit Arrangements
In June 2006, although not required, the Company elected to repay $420,000 of its obligations under its term loan B facility with a majority of the $470,000 proceeds received from the divestiture of the Polymer Business (see Note 7). The aggregate principal amount of the facility at June 30, 2006 was $351,125.
11.Income Taxes
The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 18.8% on pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The relatively low effective income tax rate on the pre-tax loss means that the Company was not able to claim full income tax benefit for the loss recognized in the six month period, due largely to increased valuation allowances against tax loss carryforwards from international operations and increased valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. The increase in the valuation allowance associated with the U.S. net deferred tax assets results from temporary differences that are currently deductible for book purposes, but will be deductible for tax purposes in future periods.

The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 86.4% on pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. The high effective income tax rate on pre-tax loss is favorable, and is primarily the result of the Company claiming income tax benefit for a portion of year-to-date pre-tax losses to offset the gain on the sale of the Polymer business. The income tax benefit for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was partially offset by increased valuation allowances against tax loss carryforwards from international operations and increased valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets.
The existence of current period U.S. pre-tax losses from continuing operations, U.S. tax loss and tax credit carryforwards, and income from discontinued operations that is largely attributable to the U.S. will result in unique income tax results during the fiscal year ending December 29, 2006. A U.S. tax loss from continuing operations is projected for each quarter throughout 2006, while the U.S. income from discontinued operations will be reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Under applicable tax accounting guidance, income tax benefit is claimed in continuing operations to the extent that current year U.S. tax losses and U.S. tax credits are used to offset the U.S. income from discontinued operations. However, the income tax benefit from continuing operations for the period ended June 30, 2006 is limited to the U.S. tax loss actually incurred, and the U.S. tax credits actually generated, through June 30, 2006.
The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 35.2% on pre-tax income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate was increased by local income taxes and a large permanent difference attributable to an excess of tax gain over book gain on sale of the Polymer business and decreased by a reduction in valuation allowance against U.S. tax losses and U.S. tax credits.
In accordance with the tax sharing agreement executed by the Company, the income tax provision for the Company has been calculated as if the entities included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements file an income tax return separately from their parent holding company, Holdings. The Company has recorded accrued income taxes at June 30, 2006, of which $23,215 represents a payable to Holdings under the tax sharing agreement.
12.Inventories
The components of inventories are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2006 | | December 30, 2005 |
Raw materials and containers | | $ | 62,223 | | $ | 57,295 |

| | | | | | |
Total inventories | | $ | 270,747 | | $ | 254,425 |
| | | | | | |
Inventories are stated in the consolidated balance sheets net of allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $28,864 and $25,216 on June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.
13.Restructuring Liabilities
November 2005 Restructuring Program
On November 7, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring program (“November 2005 Plan”), which is expected to take two to three years to implement, and includes a redesign of the Company’s organization structure, the closure of a number of manufacturing and other facilities and a workforce reduction of approximately 10%, in addition to previously planned divestitures. In addition to the divestiture of the Polymer Business, the Company is considering the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain other non-core or underperforming businesses.

Effective January 1, 2006, a new healthcare system was introduced in the Netherlands. The new system requires that all residents and non-residents working in the Netherlands subscribe to private health insurance with an insurer of their choice, regardless of income level. In association with the new system, the Company and affected employees have negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement that discontinues the Company sponsored postretirement medical subsidy, resulting in a curtailment gain of $4,361 during the three month period ended March 31, 2006.
In April 2006, the Company’s Turkish and Danish subsidiaries curtailed and settled certain defined benefit plans resulting in a settlement gain of $2,332 and settlement loss of $1,473, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Company recorded associated net gains of $1,089 in selling, general and administrative expenses and net losses of $230 in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
In April 2006, the Company curtailed its participation in a defined benefit plan in the Netherlands sponsored by SCJ. The active participant plan obligations were settled in June 2006, resulting in a settlement gain of $2,814 during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Company recorded a gain of $1,939 in selling, general and administrative expenses and a gain of $875 in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.
In April 2006, the Company curtailed or settled defined benefits and retiree welfare benefits to former North American Professional employees, resulting in related losses of $267 and gains of $199, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

In June 2006, in association with the divestiture of the Polymer Business, the Company curtailed defined benefits and retiree welfare benefits to former North American Polymer employees, resulting in curtailment losses of $778 and $4,068, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The losses are included as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, and in conjunction with divestiture of the Polymer Business, the Company remeasured its defined benefit plan obligations in North America and the Netherlands resulting in a $25,118 reduction of additional minimum pension liabilities, primarily as a result of increased discount rate assumptions.
16.Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the right to purchase stock of Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”), the parent of the Company’s direct parent, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), for certain members of senior management of the Company.
In December 2005, the Company and Holdco approved the cancellation of the Plan. In connection with this decision, Holdco commenced an offer to purchase all of its outstanding unrestricted class C common stock, options to purchase its class C common stock and class B common stock. Pursuant to the offer, holders of Holdco’s class C common stock who tendered shares in the offer received $139.25 in cash, without interest, for each share of class C common stock tendered. Holders of options received a cash payment as follows: (a) for options with an exercise price less than $139.25 per share, an amount equal to the difference between $139.25 and the exercise price for each share of class C common stock issuable upon exercise of the options and (b) for options with an exercise price equal to or greater than $139.25 per share, $8.00 for each share of class C common stock issuable upon exercise of the options. Holders of class B common stock received $83.30 for each share of class B common stock tendered. Those participants who chose not to accept the tender offer will continue to participate under existing Plan terms; however, the Company will not grant further awards under the Plan.
The Company recorded compensation expense of $70 and $213 related to restricted stock during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 2, 2005; and $147 and $522 related to restricted stock during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized for stock option awards in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. The pro forma impact of compensation expense if the Company had used the fair-value method of accounting to measure compensation expense would have increased net loss by approximately $4,962 for the three months ended July 1, 2005 and $9,159 for the six months ended July 1, 2005.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal year 2006 includes compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. There were no stock option grants made in 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
17.Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Six Months Ended | |
| | June 30, 2006 | | July 1, 2005 | | | June 30, 2006 | | July 1, 2005 | |

18.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the Company does not believe the final outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies, and property, plant and equipment entered into in the ordinary course of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not in excess of current market prices. Additionally, the Company normally commits to some level of marketing related expenditures that extend beyond the fiscal period. These marketing expenses are necessary in order to maintain a normal course of business and the risk associated with them is limited. It is not expected that these commitments will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company maintains environmental reserves for remediation, monitoring and related expenses at one of its domestic facilities. While the ultimate exposure to further remediation expense at this site continues to be evaluated, the Company does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company conducted environmental assessments and investigations at DiverseyLever facilities in various countries. These investigations disclosed the likelihood of soil and/or groundwater contamination, or potential environmental regulatory matters. An estimate of costs has been made and maintained based on the expected extent of contamination and the expected likelihood of recovery for some of these costs from Unilever under the purchase agreement for the acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, Holdings entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement with its stockholders, Holdco and Marga B.V., as amended and restated in May 2006. The Stockholders’ Agreement relates to, among other things:
| • | | restrictions on the transfer of Holdings’ shares held by the stockholders; |
| • | | Holdings’ corporate governance, including board and committee representation and stockholder approval provisions; |
| • | | the put and call options and rights of first offer and refusal with respect to shares held by Marga B.V.; |
| • | | certain payments to Marga B.V. as described below; and |
| • | | various other rights and obligations of Holdings and its stockholders, such as provisions relating to delivery of and access to financial and other information, payment of dividends and indemnification of directors, officers and stockholders. |
Marga B.V.’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement are guaranteed by Unilever N.V.

Put and Call Options. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, at any time after May 3, 2008, Unilever has the right to require Holdings to purchase the shares then beneficially owned by Unilever. Holdings has the option to purchase the shares beneficially owned by Unilever at any time after May 3, 2010. Any exercise by Holdings of its call option must be for at least 50% of the shares beneficially owned by Unilever. Any exercise by Unilever of its put option must be for all of its shares.
Before May 3, 2010, Holdings’ obligations in connection with a put by Unilever are conditioned on a refinancing of the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s senior subordinated notes and the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the put, Holdings must use its reasonable best efforts prior to May 3, 2009, and its best efforts after that date, to consummate a refinancing and may be required to purchase less than all of the shares subject to the put under some circumstances. If Holdings purchases less than all of the shares subject to a put, Unilever may again put its remaining shares after a specified suspension period.
Following the exercise by Unilever of its put rights, if Holdings fails to purchase all of Unilever’s shares for cash by May 3, 2010, it must issue a promissory note to Unilever in exchange for the remaining shares. The maturity date of the promissory note will be either 90 days or one year after its issuance, depending on the level of Unilever’s ownership interest in Holdings at that time. The terms of the promissory note will provide Unilever with rights similar to its rights as a stockholder under the Stockholders’ Agreement, including board representation, veto and access and informational rights. The promissory note will contain various subordination provisions in relation to the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness.
If, after May 3, 2010, Unilever has not been paid cash with respect to its put option, Unilever may also:
| • | | require Holdings to privately sell Unilever’s shares or other shares of Holdings’ capital stock to a third party; and |
| • | | require Holdings to sell its Japan businesses or any other business or businesses that may be identified for sale by a special committee of Holdings’ board of directors. The special committee is required to identify such other business or businesses after May 3, 2009 and prior to May 3, 2010 and to engage an investment banking firm to assist it with such identification and evaluation. |
The exercise of these remedies, other than sales of Unilever’s shares, is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to the Company’s and Holdings’ indebtedness.
The price for Holdings’ shares subject to a put or call option will be based on Holdings’ enterprise value at the time the relevant option is exercised, plus its cash and minus its indebtedness. Holdings’ enterprise value cannot be less than eight times the EBITDA of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the preceding four fiscal quarters, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement. If Holdings, Unilever and their respective financial advisors cannot agree on an enterprise value, the issue will be submitted to an independent third-party for determination.
If Holdings purchases less than all of the shares beneficially owned by Unilever in connection with the exercise of the put or call option, Unilever may elect to fix the price for its remaining shares not purchased. If Unilever does not elect to fix the price, the price will float and a new price will be determined based on the enterprise value the next time a put or call option is exercised.
Contingent Payments. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, Holdings may be required to make payments to Unilever in each year from 2007 through 2010 so long as Unilever continues to beneficially own 5% or more of Holdings’ outstanding shares. The amount of each payment will be equal to 25% of the amount by which the cumulative cash flows of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the period from May 3, 2002, through the end of the fiscal year preceding the payment (not including any cash flow with respect to which Unilever received a payment in a prior year), exceeds:

| • | | $1,200,000 in 2008; and |
The aggregate amount of all these payments cannot exceed $100,000. Payment of these amounts is subject to compliance with the agreements relating to Holdings and the Company’s senior indebtedness including, without limitation, the senior discount notes of Holdings, the Company’s senior subordinated notes and the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.
Transfer of Shares. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, a stockholder controlled by Unilever may transfer its shares of Holdings to another entity of which Unilever owns at least an 80% interest, and a stockholder controlled by Holdco may transfer its shares of Holdings to another entity of which Holdco owns at least an 80% interest.
In addition, at any time after May 3, 2007, Unilever may sell all, but not less than all, of its shares of Holdings to no more than one person (an “Early Sale”), subject to certain restrictions, including, but not limited to, the requirement that all consents and approvals are obtained, the sale not violating or resulting in the termination of the Company’s license agreement with SCJ and the sale not constituting a change of control under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. Further, the purchaser of Holdings’ shares from Unilever cannot be a competitor of SCJ and must be approved by Holdco, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Unilever sells its shares of Holdings to a third party, that third party would be entitled to the same rights and be subject to the same obligations applicable to Unilever under the Stockholders’ Agreement.
From May 3, 2007 through May 3, 2008, prior to commencing an Early Sale, Unilever must notify Holdings of its intention to sell its shares and Holdings has the right of first offer to purchase the shares beneficially owned by Unilever at the price and on the terms specified by Unilever. If Holdings does not elect to purchase the shares, Unilever may commence an Early Sale. Prior to completing that sale, however, Unilever must again offer the shares to Holdings, and Holdings has a right of first refusal to purchase the shares. The price for the shares under Holdings’ right of first refusal would be the price at which the shares are offered to the third-party purchaser plus a premium equal to 3% of that third-party price, with a maximum aggregate premium of $15 million and a minimum aggregate premium of $10 million. The maximum and minimum limitations applicable to the premium are prorated to the extent that Holdings had previously purchased shares held by Unilever. The premium would be paid by Holdco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Unilever has not notified Holdings of its intention to sell its shares pursuant to an Early Sale prior to May 3, 2008, Unilever would be required to first exercise its put option prior to selling its shares to a third party as described in this paragraph.
Purchase of Additional Shares from Holdco. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, on the earlier of May 3, 2010 and the date on which Unilever sells all of its shares of Holdings to Holdings or a third party in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, Unilever will have the right to buy from Holdco that number of class A common shares of Holdings (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% of the total outstanding shares of Holdings and (ii) the largest whole number of class A common shares, the aggregate value (as determined pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement) of which does not exceed $40 million. The purchase price to be paid by Unilever to Holdco for such Additional Shares would be $.01 per share. Unilever may then require the immediate repurchase by Holdco of the Additional Shares at a price determined in accordance with the Stockholders’ Agreement. The obligations to transfer the Additional Shares and repurchase those shares are obligations solely of Holdco.

We are a leading global marketer and manufacturer of cleaning, hygiene and appearance products, equipment and related services for the institutional and industrial cleaning and sanitation market. We sell our products in more than 140 countries through our direct sales force, wholesalers and third-party distributors. Our sales are balanced geographically, with our principal markets being Europe, North America and Japan.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, net sales decreased by $18.4 million and $42.4 million respectively, from the same periods in the prior year. As indicated in the following table, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures, our net sales were relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the second quarter of 2005. Our 2006 year-to-date net sales were up 1.1% from the same period in the prior year.

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2006 was impacted by our decision to withdraw from a majority of the service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States, which we announced in March 2006. Excluding the laundry and ware washing business in the United States and partial termination fees related to our Master Sales Agency Agreement with Unilever, which increased sales in the three months ended July 1, 2005 by $6.6 million, the equivalent growth rates were 2.4% and 2.8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively. Our core business in North America continues to perform well and outside the United States we continue to show net sales growth, primarily due to price increases taking hold in all business sectors and global geographic areas and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Primarily as a result of the aforementioned price increases taking hold, our gross profit percentage improved by 200 basis points for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2006 and 230 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Our gross profit percentage declined 60 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2005, as pricing actions taken in 2005 and in the first half of 2006 have not yet fully recovered the unprecedented increases in key raw material costs and transportation costs. Our gross profit percentages for the five most recent fiscal quarters are set forth below:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In November 2005, in response to the structural changes in the raw material markets that have to the significant increases in our input costs, we announced a program (“November 2005 Plan”) to implement an operational restructuring of our Company. The program also considers the potential divestiture of, or exit from, certain non-core or underperforming businesses.
22
In March 2006, as part of our November 2005 Plan, we announced our intention to withdraw from a majority of the underperforming, service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States. As a result of this decision, the Company severed approximately 342 employees in the first half of 2006 with further severances expected throughout the course of 2006. In connection with this decision, we also announced the closure of our manufacturing facilities in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and Cambridge, Maryland.
On June 30, 2006, as part of our November 2005 Plan, we completed the sale of our non-core business that was engaged in developing, manufacturing, and selling specialty polymers for use in the industrial print and packaging industry, industrial paint and coatings industry, and industrial plastics industry (the Polymer Business), to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (“BASF”) for approximately $470.0 million plus approximately $8.1 million in connection with the parties’ estimate of the expected purchase price adjustments. Proceeds of $420.0 million were used to pay down debt in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Furthermore, during the second quarter of 2006 we continued the operational restructuring of our Company in accordance with the November 2005 Plan. A number of key elements of this restructuring program commenced in the quarter including continued reorganization of our European operations around four sub-regions, supply chain optimization projects, preparations for the outsourcing of most of our IT support work and feasibility studies related to financial services outsourcing in Western Europe.
In connection with the aforementioned and other activities under the November 2005 Plan, we recorded charges of approximately $35.0 million and $77.2 million for severance costs in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and approximately $34 thousand and $0.5 million for non-employee related costs in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded additional selling, general and administrative costs of approximately $19.5 million and $77.1 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, of which $4.8 million and $25.9 million were related to tangible asset impairment and $0.8 million and $20.6 million were related to intangible asset impairment.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the accounting policies that are most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and that involve management’s judgment and/or evaluation of inherent uncertain factors are as follows:
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue on product sales when risk of loss and title to the product is transferred to the customer, substantially all of which occurs at the time shipment is made. We record an estimated reduction to revenue for customer discount programs and incentive offerings, including allowances and other volume-based incentives. If market conditions were to decline, we may take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in a reduction of gross profit margins in the period during which the incentive is offered.
In arriving at net sales, we estimate the amounts of sales deductions likely to be earned by customers in conjunction with incentive programs such as volume rebates and other discounts. Such estimates are based on written agreements and historical trends and are reviewed periodically for possible revision based on changes in facts and circumstances.
Estimating Reserves and Allowances. We estimate inventory reserves based on periodic reviews of our inventory balances to identify slow-moving or obsolete items. This determination is based on a number of factors, including new product introductions, changes in customer demand patterns and historic usage trends.
We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable balances by age, applying historical trend rates, analyzing market conditions and specifically reserving for identified customer balances, based on known facts, which are deemed probable as uncollectible. For larger accounts greater than 90 days past due, an
23
allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on the customer’s ability and likelihood to pay and based on management’s review of the facts and circumstances. For other customers, we recognize an allowance based on the length of time the receivable is past due based on historical experience.
We accrue for losses associated with litigation and environmental claims based on management’s best estimate of future costs when such losses are probable and reasonably able to be estimated. We record those costs based on what management believes is the most probable amount of the liability within the ranges or, where no amount within the range is a better estimate of the potential liability, at the minimum amount within the range. The accruals are adjusted as further information becomes available or circumstances change.
Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits. We sponsor pension and post-retirement plans in various countries, including the United States, which are separately funded. Several statistical and judgmental factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases and healthcare cost trends, as determined by us and our actuaries. In addition, our actuarial consultants also use subjective factors, such as withdrawal and mortality rates, to estimate these factors. The actuarial assumptions used by us may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, longer or shorter life spans of participants and changes in actual costs of healthcare. Actual results may significantly affect the amount of pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses recorded by us.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. We periodically review long-lived assets, including non-amortizing intangible assets and goodwill, for impairment and assess whether significant events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. We also periodically reassess the estimated remaining useful lives of our amortizing intangible assets and our other long-lived assets. Changes to estimated useful lives would impact the amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We annually complete an impairment analysis of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets. Moreover, where indicators of impairment are identified for long-lived assets, we would prepare a future undiscounted cash flows analysis, determine any impairment impact and record, if necessary, a reduction in the affected asset(s). In association with the November 2005 Plan, the Company recorded impairment charges on certain intangible assets and long-lived assets of $20.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. There were no impairments recognized in the six-month period ended July 1, 2005.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended July 1, 2005
Net Sales:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | July 1, 2005 | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Net product and service sales | | $ | 741,236 | | $ | 751,788 | | $ | (10,552 | ) | | -1.4 | % |
Sales agency fee income | | | 22,329 | | | 30,130 | | | (7,801 | ) | | -25.9 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 763,565 | | | 781,918 | | | (18,353 | ) | | -2.3 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| • | The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies contributed $3.1 million to the decrease in net product and service sales. |
| • | Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, and sales agency fee income, net sales were relatively flat in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the affect of price increases taking hold globally and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East which offset the net sales decline associated with the decision to exit a majority of the service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States, which we announced in March 2006. |
24
| • | | In North America, one of our largest markets, net sales decreased 3.4% in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. This sales decline reflects the impact of our withdrawal from a majority of the service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States. We continue to have strong growth in our core North American business units, primarily due to the impact of price increases in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. |
| • | | In our Europe, Africa and Middle East markets, net sales in the second quarter increased 2.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily due to increased sales in developing countries in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East and the affect of price increases in Western Europe. |
| • | | In Asia Pacific, net sales increased 7.6% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to strong growth in the food and beverage business and the lodging, retail and quick-service restaurant sectors. |
| • | | In Latin America, net sales increased 8.0% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by increased sales in most geographic areas, with growth from the food and beverage business, retail sector and distribution, partially offset by lower health and hospitality sales in Mexico, where tourism remains adversely affected by hurricane damage. |
| • | | In Japan, net sales decreased by 3.3% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the restructuring of the service relationship at a core Japanese retail customer, the planned withdrawal from low margin filter sales in the food and beverage business and a change from direct selling to a joint venture for sales and distribution to select food service customers in the Tokyo metropolitan market. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net sales under our Master Sales Agency Agreement with Unilever decreased by $7.8 million, or 25.9%, primarily as a result of $6.6 million in partial termination fees that were recorded in the three months ended July 1, 2005. |
Gross Profit:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | | July 1, 2005 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
| | $ | 329,327 | | | $ | 341,769 | | | $ | (12,442 | ) | | -3.6 | % |
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 43.1 | % | | | 43.7 | % | | | | | | | |
| • | The reduction in gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to the impact of raw material costs, which had a particularly strong impact on our floorcare business, where acrylic-based polymers are common in product formulations. Gross profit was also adversely impacted by higher freight and transportation costs, primarily attributable to the rise in crude oil prices and changes in U.S. transportation legislation that has affected driver hours and carrier availability. |
| • | We continue to be confronted with the prospect of rising raw material costs and, in response, we continue to implement a mix of general and selective price increases to recover these costs, to the extent possible, and pursue further cost reduction initiatives under our November 2005 Plan. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| • | | The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies decreased operating expenses by $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency and costs associated with our restructuring programs, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $9.7 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior year period. This reflects the impact of cost savings associated with the November 2005 Plan. Included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was a net gain of $3.0 million related to pension and post-retirement benefits curtailments and settlements. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, research and development expenses increased $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior year period. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expenses increased $30.3 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to employee severance and other expenses related to the November 2005 Plan. |
Restructuring and Integration:
A summary of all costs associated with the November 2005 Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and since the consummation of the program in November 2005, is outlined below.

Capital expenditures | | | 2,276 | | | | 6,538 | |
| • | | During the second quarter of 2006, we recorded $34.9 million of restructuring costs related to our November 2005 Plan in our consolidated statements of operations. These costs consisted primarily of involuntary termination and other costs incurred throughout North America and Europe. In addition, the Company recorded $19.5 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, in the second quarter of 2006, of which $4.8 million related to tangible asset impairment, $0.8 million related to intangible asset impairment and $13.9 million related to period costs associated with restructuring activities. |
26
| • | | In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of former DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company paid cash of $0.7 million representing contractual obligations associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities. The restructuring reserve balance associated with the exit plans and the Company’s acquisition-related restructuring plans was $3.4 million as of June 30, 2006. |
Non-Operating Results:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | | July 1, 2005 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Interest expense | | $ | 34,330 | | | $ | 42,912 | | | $ | (8,582 | ) | | -20.0 | % |
Interest income | | | (3,136 | ) | | | (2,517 | ) | | | (619 | ) | | 24.6 | % |

| | | | |
Other expense, net | | | 342 | | | | (76 | ) | | | 418 | | | | |
| • | | Net interest expense decreased in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior year period. In the quarter ended July 1, 2005, we recorded $9.4 million of interest expense due to the ineffectiveness of our EURIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements and wrote off $3.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs arising from the repayment of the euro portion of the our term loan B in connection with the April 2005 amendment to our senior secured credit facilities. The impact of these adjustments was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with higher average debt levels during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 and higher short-term interest rates. |
Income Taxes:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | | July 1, 2005 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income from continuing operations, including minority interests, before income taxes and discontinued operations | | $ | (36,036 | ) | | $ | 1,389 | | | $ | (37,425 | ) | | -2694.4 | % |
Provision for income taxes | | | (31,135 | ) | | | 2,687 | | | | (33,822 | ) | | -1258.7 | % |
| | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | | 86.4 | % | | | 193.4 | % | | | | | | | |
| • | | The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 86.4% on pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. The high effective income tax rate on pre-tax loss is favorable, and is primarily the result of the Company claiming income tax benefit for a portion of year-to-date pre-tax losses to offset the gain on the sale of the Polymer business. The income tax benefit for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was partially offset by increased valuation allowances against tax loss carryforwards from international operations and increased valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. |
| • | | The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 193.4% on pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three month period ended July 1, 2005. The high effective income tax rate for this period is primarily due to incremental income tax expense related to repatriation of earnings from international operations and an increased valuation allowance against tax loss carryforwards from international operations. These increases to income tax expense were partially offset by a tax benefit from the realization of previously un-benefited foreign tax credits. |
27
Net Income:
Our net income increased by $225.6 million, to $230.7 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to the gain of $225.4 million (net of tax) on the sale of our Polymer business.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and you should not consider EBITDA as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures such as (a) operating profit or net profit as a measure of our operating performance or (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our ability to meet cash needs.
We believe that, in addition to cash flows from operating activities, EBITDA is a useful financial measurement for assessing liquidity as it provides management, investors, lenders and financial analysts with an additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, various covenants under our senior secured credit facilities are based on EBITDA, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of those facilities.
In evaluating EBITDA, management considers, among other things, the amount by which EBITDA exceeds interest costs for the period, how EBITDA compares to principal repayments on outstanding debt for the period and how EBITDA compares to capital expenditures for the period. Management believes many investors, lenders and financial analysts evaluate EBITDA for similar purposes. To evaluate EBITDA, the components of EBITDA, such as net sales and operating expenses and the variability of such components over time, should also be considered.
Accordingly, we believe that the inclusion of EBITDA in this report permits a more comprehensive analysis of our liquidity relative to other companies and our ability to service debt requirements. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation of EBITDA in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for, and should be considered together with, net cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005.

EBITDA increased by $296.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year second quarter, primarily due to the divestiture of the Polymer business which increased EBITDA by $348.2 million and was partially offset by a $42.9 increase in restructuring costs and severance-related selling, general and administrative costs related to our November 2005 Plan.

| • | | The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies contributed $34.3 million to the decrease in net product and service sales. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures, and sales agency fee income, net sales increased 1.6% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to price increases taking hold globally, a strong performance from North America’s core businesses and the expansion of developing markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, which more than offset the impact of our withdrawal from a majority of the service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States. |
| • | | In North America, one of our largest markets, net sales increased 1.9% in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. This sales growth reflects strong growth in all core business units and the impact of price increases in 2005 and in the first six months of 2006. These factors more than offset the impact of our withdrawal from majority of the service-oriented laundry and ware washing business in the United States. |
| • | | In our Europe, Africa and Middle East markets, net sales for the first six months of 2006 increased 1.4% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of a correction in the accounting treatment for certain equipment leases that increased net sales by $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. Excluding the impact of this adjustment, net sales in the region grew by 3.6% during the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005. This growth was primarily due to price increases taking hold and increased sales volume in our Central European area and in developing countries in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. |
| • | | In Asia Pacific, net sales increased 7.3% for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to growth in the food and beverage business and the lodging, retail and quick-service restaurant sectors. |
| • | | In Latin America, net sales increased 7.9% for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by increased sales in most geographic areas, with growth from the food and beverage business, retail sector and distribution, partially offset by lower health and hospitality sales in Mexico, where tourism is still adversely affected by hurricane damage. |
| • | | In Japan, net sales decreased by 5.1% for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the restructuring of the service relationship at a core Japanese retail customer, the planned withdrawal from low margin filter sales in the food and beverage business and a change from direct selling to a joint venture for sales and distribution to select food service customers in the Tokyo metropolitan market. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net sales under our Master Sales Agency Agreement with Unilever decreased by $7.1 million, or 13.9%, during the first six months of 2006, primarily as a result of $ 7.4 million in partial termination fees that were recorded in the six months ended July 1, 2005. |

| • | | The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and certain other foreign currencies decreased gross profit by $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| • | | The reduction in gross profit was primarily due to the impact of raw material costs, which had a particularly strong impact on our floorcare business, where acrylic-based polymers are common in product formulations. Gross profit was also adversely impacted by higher freight and transportation costs, primarily attributable to the rise in crude oil prices and changes in U.S. transportation legislation that has affected driver hours and carrier availability. In addition, gross profit in the first quarter of 2005 included a correction in accounting treatment for certain equipment leases which increased our European gross profit by $5.8 million compared to the current period. |
| • | | We continue to be confronted with the prospect of rising raw material costs and, in response, we continue to implement a mix of general and selective price increases to recover these costs, to the extent possible, and pursue further cost reduction initiatives under our November 2005 Plan. |

| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency and costs associated with our restructuring programs, selling, general and administrative costs declined $14.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the prior year period. Included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was a gain of $1.2 million on the sale of our U.S. commercial laundry business and a net gain of $7.3 million related to pension and post-retirement benefits curtailments and settlements. |
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, research and development expenses increased $1.4 million during the first six months of 2006 compared to the prior year period. |
30
| • | | Excluding the impact of foreign currency, restructuring expenses increased $69.6 million during the first six months of 2006 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to employee severance and other expenses related to the November 2005 Plan. |
Restructuring and Integration:
A summary of all costs associated with the November 2005 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and since the consummation of the program in November 2005, is outlined below.
| | | | | | | | |

Capital expenditures | | | 4,407 | | | | 6,538 | |
| • | | During the six months of 2006, we recorded $77.7 million of restructuring costs related to our November 2005 Plan in our consolidated statements of operations. These costs consisted primarily of involuntary termination and other costs incurred throughout North America and Europe. In addition, the Company recorded $77.1 million of selling, general and administrative expenses during the first six months of 2006, of which $25.9 million related to tangible asset impairments, $20.6 million related to intangible asset impairment and $30.7 million related to period costs associated with restructuring activities. |
| • | | In connection with the acquisition of the DiverseyLever business, the Company recorded liabilities for the involuntary termination of former DiverseyLever employees and other exit costs associated with former DiverseyLever facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company paid cash of $2.1 million representing contractual obligations associated with involuntary terminations and lease payments on closed facilities. The restructuring reserve balance associated with the exit plans and the Company’s acquisition-related restructuring plans was $3.4 million as of June 30, 2006. |
Non-Operating Results:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | | July 1, 2005 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Interest expense | | $ | 67,192 | | | $ | 74,099 | | | $ | (6,907 | ) | | -9.3 | % |
Interest income | | | (6,558 | ) | | | (4,072 | ) | | | (2,486 | ) | | 61.1 | % |

Other expense, net | | | 1,868 | | | | (10 | ) | | | 1,878 | | | | |
| • | | Net interest expense decreased in the first six months of 2006 compared to the prior year period. In the quarter ended July 1, 2005, the company recorded $9.4 million of interest expense due to the ineffectiveness of our EURIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements and wrote off $3.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs arising from the repayment of the euro portion of the our term loan B in connection with the April 2005 amendment to our senior secured credit facilities. The impact of these adjustments was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with higher average debt levels during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the first six months of 2005 and higher short-term interest rates. |
31
| • | | Other expense, net, increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher net losses from foreign currency translation and transactions. |
Income Taxes:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended | | | Change | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | | July 1, 2005 | | | Amount | | | Percentage | |
Income from continuing operations, | | $ | (150,144 | ) | | $ | (16,328 | ) | | $ | (133,816 | ) | | 819.5 | % |
including minority interests, before income taxes and discontinued operations | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Provision for income taxes | | | (28,200 | ) | | | 1,949 | | | | (30,149 | ) | | -1546.9 | % |
| | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | | 18.8 | % | | | -11.9 | % | | | | | | | |
| • | | The Company reported an effective income tax rate of 18.8% on pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The relatively low effective income tax rate on the pre-tax loss means that the Company was not able to claim full income tax benefit for the loss recognized in the six month period, due largely to increased valuation allowances against tax loss carryforwards from international operations and increased valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. The increase in the valuation allowance associated with the U.S. net deferred tax assets results from temporary differences that are currently deductible for book purposes, but will be deductible for tax purposes in future periods. |
| • | | The Company reported an effective income tax rate of (11.9)% on pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the six month period ended July 1, 2005. The relatively high effective income tax rate for this period was primarily due to incremental income tax expense related to repatriation of earnings from international operations and an increased valuation allowance against tax loss carryforwards from international operations. These increases to income tax expense were partially offset by a tax benefit from the realization of previously un-benefited foreign tax credits. |
Net Income:
Our net income increased by $121.5 million, to $118.8 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the first six months of 2005, primarily due to the gain of $225.4 million (net of tax) on the sale of our Polymer business offset by an increase of $133.7 million in restructuring costs and other period costs associated with the November 2005 Plan.
EBITDA:
The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the U.S. GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005.

| | | | | | | | |
EBITDA increased by $232.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year second quarter, primarily due to the divestiture of the Polymer Business which increased EBITDA by $348.2 million and was partially offset by a $92.1 increase in restructuring costs and severance-related selling, general and administrative costs related to our November 2005 Plan and raw material cost increases not fully offset by pricing actions. In addition, EBITDA in the first quarter of 2005 included a correction in accounting treatment for certain equipment leases which increased our EBITDA by $5.8 million compared to the current period.

(1) | Working capital is defined as net accounts receivable, plus inventories less accounts payable. |
| • | | The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2006 compared to December 30, 2005 resulted primarily from cash used during the first six months of 2006 to fund activities related to the November 2005 Plan and capital expenditures. |
| • | | The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to expenses related to our November 2005 Plan. This impact was partially offset by less cash used for working capital in the first six months of 2006 as compared the prior year period, and an increase in accrued liabilities due to one-time costs related to the divestiture of the Polymer Business and the November 2005 plan. |
| • | | The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the divestiture of the Polymer Business during the second quarter of 2006. Other than our investment in dosing and feeder equipment with new and existing customer accounts, the characteristics of our business do not generally require us to make significant ongoing capital expenditures. |
33
| • | | The decrease in cash flow from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the repayment of $420.0 million of obligations under our term loan B facility using the majority of the proceeds from the divestiture of the Polymer Business. |
| • | | The increase in working capital during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was due to a $16.3 million increase in inventories resulting from increased raw material costs and a seasonal build in inventory levels and a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable, which were partially offset by a $4.8 million reduction in accounts receivable resulting from a two-day decrease in days sales outstanding. |
Debt and Contractual Obligations. As a result of the DiverseyLever acquisition, we have a significant amount of indebtedness. On May 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition, we issued senior subordinated notes and entered into a $1.2 billion senior secured credit facility. We used the proceeds of the sale of the senior subordinated notes and initial borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities, together with other available funds, to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the DiverseyLever business and the related fees and expenses and to refinance then-existing indebtedness.
The senior secured credit facilities were amended and restated in December 2005.
The amended facilities, among other things, permit the global restructuring under the November 2005 Plan and modify the financial covenants contained in our previous credit facilities. The amended facilities consist of a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $175 million, including a letter of credit sub-limit of $50 million and a swingline loan sub-limit of $30 million, that matures on December 16, 2010, as well as a term loan facility that matures on December 10, 2011. In addition, the amended facilities include a committed delayed draw term facility of up to $100 million, which was fully drawn on July 14, 2006. The amended facilities also provide for an increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $25 million under specified circumstances. As of June 30, 2006, we had $8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the revolving portion of the senior secured credit facilities and therefore had the ability to borrow $167 million under those revolving facilities.
As of June 30, 2006, we had total indebtedness of $1.0 billion, consisting of $584.9 million of senior subordinated notes, $351.1 million of borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities, $19.5 million of other long-term borrowings and $63.1 million in short-term credit lines. In addition, we had $192.7 million in operating lease commitments, $2.1 million in capital lease commitments and $7.8 million committed under letters of credit that expire in 2006.
We believe that the cash flows from operations, together with available cash, borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured credit facilities and the proceeds from our receivables securitization facility will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including our restructuring programs. Please refer to our forward-looking statements for potential risks associated with our restructuring programs.
We have obligations related to our pension and post-retirement plans that are discussed in detail in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of the most recent actuarial measurement date, we anticipate making $33.8 million of contributions to pension plans in fiscal year 2006. We made contributions of $22.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Post-retirement medical claims are paid as they are submitted and are anticipated to be $3.6 million in fiscal year 2006.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the “Receivables Facility”) in March 2001, as amended, whereby we and each participating subsidiary sell, on a continuous basis, certain trade receivables to JWPR Corporation (“JWPRC”), our wholly owned, consolidated, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. JWPRC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries party to the Receivables Facility. JWPRC, in turn, sells an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to nonconsolidated financial institutions (the “Conduits”) for an amount equal to the value of all eligible receivables (as defined under the receivables sale agreement between JWPRC and the Conduits) less the applicable reserve. The accounts receivable securitization arrangement is accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities–A replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.”As June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, our total potential for securitization of trade receivables was $150.0 million.
34
As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the Conduits held $112.2 million and $111.3 million, respectively, of accounts receivable that are not included in the accounts receivable balance reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had a retained interest of $132.4 million and $149.2 million, respectively, in the receivables of JWPRC. The retained interest is included in the accounts receivable balance and is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, JWPRC’s cost of borrowing under the Receivables Facility was at a weighted average rate of 6.44% per annum.
In July 2006, the Receivables Facility was amended to allow one of the conduit purchasers to exit the program, to allow the repurchase of the receivables of JohnsonDiversey SpA (Italy), and to reduce the total potential for securitization of trade receivables to $75.0 million.
Under the terms of our senior secured credit facilities, we must use any net proceeds from the Receivables Facility first to prepay loans outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the net amount of trade receivables at any time outstanding under this and any other securitization facility that we may enter into may not exceed $200 million in the aggregate.
Financial Covenants under Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Under the amended terms of our senior secured credit facilities, we are subject to certain financial covenants. The financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities require us to meet the following targets and ratios.
Maximum Leverage Ratio. We are required to maintain a leverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no more than the maximum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The maximum leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) our consolidated indebtedness (excluding up to $55 million of indebtedness incurred under our Receivables Facility and indebtedness relating to specified interest rate hedge agreements) as of the last day of a financial covenant period using a weighted-average exchange rate for the relevant fiscal six-month period to (2) our consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities, for that same financial covenant period.
The senior secured credit facilities require that we maintain a leverage ratio of no more than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set forth below:
| | |
| | Maximum Leverage Ratio |
June 30, 2006 | | 5.00 to 1 |

June 30, 2010 | | 3.25 to 1 |
September 30, 2010 and thereafter | | 3.50 to 1 |
35
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. We are required to maintain an interest coverage ratio for each financial covenant period of no less than the minimum ratio specified in the senior secured credit facilities for that financial covenant period. The minimum interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (1) our consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities, for a financial covenant period to (2) our cash interest expense for the same financial covenant period.
The senior secured credit facilities require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio of no less than the ratio set forth below for each of the financial covenant periods ending nearest the corresponding date set for the below:
| | |
| | Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio |
June 30, 2006 | | 2.00 to 1 |

June 30, 2010 | | 2.75 to 1 |
September 30, 2010 and thereafter | | 3.00 to 1 |
Compliance with Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. For our financial covenant period ended on June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants contained in the senior secured credit facilities.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures are limited under the senior secured credit facilities to $150 million in fiscal year 2006 and to $130 million for subsequent fiscal years. To the extent that we make capital expenditures of less than the limit in any fiscal year, however, we may carry forward into the subsequent year the difference between the limit and the actual amount we expended, provided that the amounts we carry forward from the previous year will be allocated to capital expenditures in the current fiscal year only after the amount allocated to the current fiscal year is exhausted. As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the limitation on capital expenditures for fiscal year 2006.
Restructuring Charges. The senior secured credit facilities limit the amount of cash payments (i) arising in connection with the November 2005 Plan at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2009 to $355 million in the aggregate and (ii) arising in connection with permitted divestitures at any time from fiscal year 2006 through the end of fiscal year 2008 to $45 million. As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the limitation on spending for restructuring and permitted divestiture-related activities.
36
In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare dividends and to redeem and repurchase capital stock. The senior secured credit facilities also limit our ability to incur additional liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions and incur additional indebtedness and make investments.
Discontinued Operations
On June 30, 2006, Johnson Polymer, LLC (“JP”) and JohnsonDiversey Holdings II B.V. (“Holdings II”), an indirectly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of JP, all equity interests in certain JP subsidiaries and all of the equity interests by Holdings II (collectively, the “Polymer Business”) to BASF Aktiengesellschaft (“BASF”) for approximately $470.0 million plus an additional $8.1 million in connection with the parties’ estimate of purchase price adjustments that will be based upon the closing net asset value of the Polymer Business. The Company and BASF are expected to finalize purchase price adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Polymer Business develops, manufactures and sells specialty polymers for use in the industrial print and packaging industry, industrial paint and coatings industry and in industrial plastics industry. The Polymer Business was a non-core asset of the Company and had been disclosed as a separate business segment. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $348.2 million ($225.4 million after tax), net of related costs.
The following table sets forth net sales, operating income and income from discontinued operations for the Polymer Business:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | | | Six Months Ended | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2006 | | July 1, 2005 | | Change | | | June 30, 2006 | | July 1, 2005 | | Change | |
| | (unaudited) | | | | | (unaudited) | | | |
Net sales | | $ | 105,782 | | $ | 93,887 | | 12.7 | % | | $ | 200,353 | | $ | 183,474 | | 9.2 | % |
Income from operations | | | 12,646 | | | 8,803 | | 43.7 | % | | | 22,679 | | | 17,958 | | 26.3 | % |
Income from operations, net of tax | | | 10,163 | | | 6,441 | | | | | | 15,169 | | | 11,576 | | | |
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax | | | 235,610 | | | 6,441 | | | | | | 240,616 | | | 11,576 | | | |
Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, Polymer net sales increased by $12.1 million or 12.9% and $19.8 million or 11.0% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a combination of price increases implemented in response to the significant rise in raw material costs experienced in the latter half of 2004 and throughout 2005 and good volume growth in North America and Europe.
Polymer income from operations increased by $3.8 million and $4.7 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to increased sales volumes and average selling prices which together more than offset the increase in raw material costs experienced and the impact of inflation on selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Asset and Equity Purchase Agreement between JP, Holdings II and BASF refers to ancillary agreements governing certain relationships between the parties, including a Supply Agreement and Tolling Agreement, each of which is not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
A ten-year global agreement providing for the supply of polymer products to the Company by BASF. Unless either party provides notice of its intent not to renew at least 3 years prior to the expiration of the 10 year term, the term of the agreement will extend for an additional 5 years. The agreement requires that the Company purchase a specified percentage of related product from BASF during the term of agreement. Subject to certain adjustments, the Company has a minimum volume commitment during each of the first five years of the agreement.
37
A three-year agreement providing for the toll manufacture of polymer products by the Company, at its manufacturing facility in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, for BASF. The agreement may be extended six months by either party. The agreement specifies product pricing and provides BASF the right to purchase certain equipment retained by the Company.
In association with the Tolling Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $11,400 in compensation to S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc. (“SCJ”), a related party, primarily related to pre-payments and the right to extend terms on the lease agreement at the Sturtevant, Wisconsin manufacturing location.
On May 1, 2006, in association with the divestiture of the Polymer Business, Commercial Markets Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”), which is the parent of the Company’s direct parent, JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Marga B.V., a subsidiary of Unilever, and Holdings amended and restated the Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of May 3, 2002 among the parties (as amended and restated, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Holdco and Marga B.V. own 66 2/3% and 33 1/3%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Holdings. Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company except for one share owned by SCJ. The amendment and restatement of the Stockholders’ Agreement included restatement of provisions relating to, among other things, share transfer restrictions, corporate governance, put and call options and rights of first offer and refusal and various other rights and obligations of the parties. In addition, the amendment and restatement adjusted the buyout formula relating to Marga B.V.’s shares in Holdings to require an incremental payment of $30.0 million plus interest at the time of Marga B.V.’s exit. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for the issuance of options to Marga B.V. for the purchase of Holdco shares at exit, which, following exercise, will result in the incremental payment to Marga B.V., by Holdco, of up to $40.0 million, plus interest.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2006, we had $351.1 million of debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities. After giving effect to the interest rate swap transactions that we have entered into with respect to some of the borrowings under our credit facilities, $159.7 million of the debt outstanding remained subject to variable rates. We also have entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of €127.4 million that were related to the euro portion of the term loan B that was fully repaid in April 2005. As a result of the debt repayment, these interest rate swaps have been deemed ineffective and, therefore, must be marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period through the statements of operations. Because of certain intercompany funding arrangements, we believe that these swaps provide an economic hedge to the incremental debt used to finance the repayment. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, we had $63.1 million of debt outstanding under foreign lines of credit, all of which were subject to variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are affected by changes in interest rates. At the above level of variable rate borrowings, we do not anticipate a significant impact on earnings in the event of a reasonable change in interest rates. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions that would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk; however, due to the uncertainty of the actions and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such action. Further, this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
Foreign Currency Risk
We conduct our business in various regions of the world and export and import products to and from many countries. Our operations may, therefore, be subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation changes and changes in political and economic conditions in these countries. Sales and expenses are frequently denominated in local currencies, and results of operations may be affected adversely as currency fluctuations affect product prices and operating costs. We engage in hedging operations, including forward foreign exchange contracts, to reduce the exposure of our cash flows to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. All hedging instruments are designated and effective as hedges, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. We do not engage in hedging for speculative investment reasons. There can be no assurance that our hedging operations will eliminate or substantially reduce risks associated with fluctuating currencies.
38
Based on our overall foreign exchange exposure, we estimate that a 10% change in the exchange rates would not materially affect our financial position and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of JohnsonDiversey’s Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).
CEO & CFO Certifications. Attached as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this quarterly report are certifications of the CEO and the CFO required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This portion of our quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Disclosure Controls. Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls include those components of our internal control over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To the extent that components of our internal control over financial reporting are included in our Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Our Disclosure Controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the controls evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were undertaken. This evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and the CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our internal audit department and by other personnel in our finance organization, as well as our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their audit and review activities. The overall goals
39
of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.
Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information was important both for our controls evaluation and for Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, which requires that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Audit Committee and to our independent registered public accounting firm, and report on that information and related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional accounting literature, “significant deficiencies” are referred to as “reportable conditions,” which are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the consolidated financial statements. A “material weakness” is defined in professional accounting literature as a particularly serious reportable condition whereby the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other control matters in the controls evaluation, and in each case, if an issue was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with our on-going procedures.
Conclusions. Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to JohnsonDiversey, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our internal controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business which may, from time to time, include product liability, intellectual property, contract, environmental and tax claims as well as government or regulatory agency inquiries or investigations. We believe that, taking into account our insurance and reserves and the valid defenses with respect to legal matters currently pending against us, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
