NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
During the first quarter of 2008, we changed our management reporting structure and the manner in which we report financial results internally. These changes resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments, as further discussed in Note 13.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations we engage in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until December 31, 2008. The impact SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements when effective will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate after the effective date.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008 for financial assets and is effective in the first quarter of 2009 for non-financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At March 31, 2008, we had copper futures contracts with an aggregate fair value of negative $1,800 to sell 3,000 pounds of copper in May 2008. These derivatives have been determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company at the beginning of 2008. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the consolidated financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. We do not currently have any minority interest components at any of our subsidiaries, and we do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This Statement specifically requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, but do not believe that our adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Copperfield, LLC
On April 2, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Copperfield, LLC (“Copperfield”) for $215,449, including acquisition-related costs and working capital adjustments. We believe the acquisition of Copperfield, which at the time of our acquisition was one of the largest privately-owned manufacturers and suppliers of electrical wire and cable products in the United States, has presented us with a number of strategic benefits. In particular, the acquisition increases our scale, diversifies and expands our customer base and strengthens our competitive position in the industry. Copperfield’s results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
In connection with our financing of the Copperfield acquisition, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $120,000 (the “2007 Notes”), and entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, which amended and restated our previous revolving credit agreement in its entirety and, among other things, increased our total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $200,000. See Note 7 for further discussion.
Woods Industries
On November 30, 2007, we acquired the electrical products business of Katy Industries, Inc. (“Katy”), which operates in the United States as Woods Industries, Inc. (“Woods U.S.”) and in Canada as Woods Industries (Canada) Inc. (“Woods Canada”), collectively referred to herein as Woods (“Woods”). The principal business of Woods is the design and distribution of consumer electrical cord products, sold principally to national home improvement, mass merchant, hardware and other retailers. We believe the acquisition of Woods provides us with the opportunity to expand our U.S. business while enhancing our market presence and penetration in Canada. We purchased certain assets of Woods U.S. and all the stock of Woods Canada for $53,803, including acquisition-related costs and working capital adjustments, the latter of which were paid to Katy in the second quarter 2008 and reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008. We utilized our Revolving Credit Facility to finance the acquisition. Woods’ results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
Purchase Price Allocations
The above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. We finalized the purchase price allocation for Copperfield during the first quarter of 2008. For the Woods acquisition, the purchase price allocation is preliminary, including the allocation of goodwill. In January of 2008, we began the process of integrating Woods, including the consolidation of Woods’ U.S. distribution and corporate functions. Certain costs related to such efforts have been reflected as purchase accounting adjustments in 2008, as further detailed in Note 4. As we finalize integration plans related to former Woods’ facilities, equipment and associates, there will likely be an impact on the Woods purchase price allocation. Accordingly, the completion of the purchase price allocation for the Woods acquisition will likely result in adjustments to the carrying value of Woods’ recorded assets and liabilities. These adjustments could be significant.
The table below summarizes the final purchase price allocation related to the Copperfield acquisition and the preliminary purchase price allocation related to the Woods acquisition as of their respective acquisition dates.

Long-term liabilities | | | (42 | ) | | | — | | | | (42 | ) |
Deferred income taxes | | | (23,763 | ) | | | (527 | ) | | | (24,290 | ) |

Net assets acquired | | $ | 215,449 | | | $ | 53,803 | | | $ | 269,252 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets, which are all amortizable, along with their respective weighted-average amortization periods at the acquisition date are as follows:

| | Weighted Average | | | | | | | | | | |

Total intangible assets | | | | | | $ | 64,400 | | | $ | 1,400 | | | $ | 65,800 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Approximately 41% of the Copperfield acquisition related to the acquisition of partnership interests, which resulted in a corresponding step up in basis for U.S. income tax purposes. As such, approximately $12,000 of the goodwill and $26,800 of the acquired intangible assets recorded in connection with the Copperfield acquisition is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, primarily over 15 years. For the Woods acquisition, goodwill and intangible assets attributable to the acquisition of Woods U.S. will be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, while goodwill attributable to Woods Canada will not be deductible for Canadian income tax purposes.
Unaudited Selected Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes our estimated combined results of operations assuming that our acquisitions of Copperfield and Woods had taken place at the beginning of 2007. The unaudited pro forma combined results of operations were prepared on the basis of information provided to us by the former management of Copperfield and Woods and we make no representation with respect to the accuracy of such information. The pro forma combined results of operations reflect adjustments for interest expense, additional depreciation based on the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, cost of goods sold and income tax expense. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and does not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of integration. Accordingly, it is not indicative of the results of operations that may have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period presented or that may result in the future.

4. RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES
Copperfield Integration
In November 2007, our board of directors approved management’s integration strategy for Copperfield which involves the streamlining of Copperfield’s manufacturing operations and cost reductions related to the elimination of overlap between Coleman and Copperfield. The integration plan includes the consolidation and closure of Copperfield manufacturing and distribution facilities located in Avilla, Indiana; Nogales, Arizona; and El Paso, Texas, into operations at one modern facility in El Paso, Texas. We incurred $151 in restructuring costs related to the integration during the first quarter of 2008, primarily other exit costs. In addition, during the first quarter of 2008, we recorded a $210 reserve as a component of purchase accounting for the estimated facility holding costs associated with the planned closures. We expect to incur between $3,500 and $4,500 in restructuring costs in 2008 for such activities, and estimate that these measures will result in net cash expenditures of approximately $2,000 to $3,000 in 2008 depending on various factors including the timing of the sale of owned properties and the amount of proceeds received. We expect the majority of these integration activities to be complete by the end of 2008.
Two of the Copperfield facilities scheduled to be closed as part of the above-described integration are owned facilities. Accordingly, each of these facilities was recorded at its respective estimated fair value as part of the purchase accounting for the Copperfield acquisition. These properties were recorded within property, plant and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008, reflecting that they were in use as of March 31, 2008, and consequently did not warrant classification as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at that date.
2008 Activities- Consolidation of Distribution Facilities, Including Woods U.S.
In January 2008, we announced plans to consolidate three of our existing distribution facilities (located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Gurnee, Illinois; and Waukegan, Illinois) into a single leased distribution facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. We expect the new facility to be in operation and the closures of the effected facilities to be largely completed by the end of second quarter of 2008. The Indianapolis facility, acquired in connection with the Woods acquisition, will be closed in the second quarter of 2008, in advance of its scheduled lease termination date. Accordingly, we have recorded a reserve for estimated exit costs associated with this property as a component of our purchase accounting for the Woods acquisition. In addition, we have recorded a reserve as part of our purchase accounting related to the Woods acquisition for
6
estimated relocation and severance-related costs for approximately 65 former Woods U.S. employees, who were notified during the first quarter of 2008 that their positions would be either relocated or eliminated in conjunction with the consolidation efforts. We expect to incur total costs between approximately $2,400 and $3,400 as a result of the plan, primarily facility closure and severance-related costs which have been treated as a purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2008, with the remaining estimated costs to be accounted for as additional purchase accounting adjustments or as restructuring or operating expense during the course of 2008.
The following table summarizes first-quarter 2008 activity in the reserves established for the above-described initiatives:

2006 Restructuring Activities
During 2006, we ceased operations at our leased Miami Lakes, Florida manufacturing and distribution facility, as well as at our owned manufacturing facility in Siler City, North Carolina. The activities conducted at these locations were relocated to other facilities, supplemented by additional international sourcing. All actions associated with the closure of these facilities have been substantially completed. The building and property we own in Siler City, North Carolina has been classified as an asset held for sale in the amount of $661 in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008. We incurred approximately $25 in holding costs associated with the Siler City location during the first quarter of 2008, and incurred $364 in exit costs related to these facilities during the first quarter of 2007.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) is a senior secured facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200,000, subject to certain limitations as discussed below. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition activity. At March 31, 2008, we had $126,485 in borrowings outstanding under the facility, with $59,198 in remaining excess availability. There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2007.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum of $10,000 in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $200,000 or (ii) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10,000 sublimit for letters of credit. Interest is payable, at our option, at the agent’s prime rate plus a range of 0.0% to 0.5% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The average rate of interest under the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2008 approximated 4.9%.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several basis, either as a co-borrower of the Company or a guarantor, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property), as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of each of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our foreign subsidiary.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates. We are also prohibited from making prepayments on the Senior Notes (defined below), except for scheduled payments required pursuant to the terms of such Senior Notes. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10,000 in excess availability under the facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. We maintained greater than $30,000 of monthly excess availability during the first quarter of 2008.
On November 1, 2007, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to allow for our acquisition of Woods. The amendment also permitted us
8
to make future investments in our Canadian subsidiaries in an aggregate amount, together with the investment made to acquire Woods Canada, not to exceed $25,000.
9.875% Senior Notes
At March 31, 2008, we had $240,000 in aggregate principal amount of 9.875% senior notes outstanding, all of which mature on October 1, 2012 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes include the $120,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued in connection with our acquisition of Copperfield (the “2007 Notes”). The 2007 Notes are governed by the same indenture (the “Indenture”) and have substantially the same terms and conditions as our $120,000 aggregate principal of 9.875% senior notes issued in 2004 (the “2004 Notes”). We received a premium of $3,450 in connection with the issuance of the 2007 Notes due to the fact that the 2007 Notes were issued at 102.875% of the principal amount thereof, resulting in proceeds of $123,450. This premium is being amortized to par value over the remaining life of the 2007 Notes.
Our Indenture governing the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends. As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
As of March 2008 and 2007, the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Basic weighted average shares outstanding | | | 16,787 | | | | 16,787 | |
Dilutive effect of share-based awards | | | 13 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Diluted weighted average share outstanding | | | 16,800 | | | | 16,787 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Options with respect to 1,092 and 825 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively, because they were antidilutive.
9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for executives and certain key employees which authorizes the grant of stock options and other share-based awards. In April 2008, an amended and restated plan was approved by shareholders that, among other things, (1) increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s plan from 1,650 to 2,440 and (2) added stock appreciation rights, restricted or unvested stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and incentive performance bonuses as available awards under the plan. Of the total 2,440 shares authorized for issuance under the plan, 1,162 were issued as of March 31, 2008, with the remaining 1,278 shares available for future grant over the balance of the plan’s ten-year life, which ends in 2016. The Company recorded $603 and $973 in stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
9
Stock Options
In January 2008, options with an exercise price of $8.38 on 206 shares were granted to executives and other key employees, with the exercise price being equal to the average market price of our stock on the date of grant. The options issued become exercisable over a three-year annual vesting period in three equal installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire 10 years from the date of grant.
Changes in stock options were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Weighted- | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Average | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value.
Stock Awards
In January 2008, the Company granted unvested common shares to the members of its board of directors. In total, 67 shares were granted with an approximate aggregate fair value of $630. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date.

10. RELATED PARTIES
We lease our corporate office facility from HQ2 Properties, LLC (“HQ2”). HQ2 is owned by certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management. We made rental payments of $93 and $91 to HQ2 for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
For 2007 and prior years, we had consulting arrangements with two of our shareholders whereby, in addition to their service as directors of the Company, they provided advice and counsel on business planning and strategy, including advice on potential acquisitions. Under these consulting arrangements, each eligible individual received $175 as annual compensation for their services. Pursuant to these arrangements, and for their service as directors, we paid each eligible individual $44 for the first quarter of 2007. The consulting arrangements were terminated effective December 31, 2007. Additionally, from October of 2006 through December 2007, in addition to the above-noted consulting services, each received $75 as annual compensation for their services as co-chairmen of the board of directors. On January 1, 2008 the Company amended its compensation arrangements for its directors. Under these arrangements, annually the co-chairmen each receive $100 in cash and $100 in Company stock. For the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, $39 and $19, respectively, was expensed for each individual’s services as co-chairmen.
David Bistricer is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and owns Morgan Capital LLC (“Morgan Capital”), a company with 15 employees engaged in the real estate business. Prior to July 1, 2007, Morgan Capital’s employees purchased health insurance for themselves and their dependents from the Company’s insurance carrier at the same rates we paid for our employees. This arrangement resulted in no additional cost to us. On July 1, 2007, we revised our health insurance arrangements in order to self-insure our employees’ health coverage subject to an insurance policy providing catastrophic health coverage in the event the claims of any employee exceeded $40 in any year. The employees of Morgan Capital became part of the self-insurance arrangement. Morgan Capital agreed to indemnify us for any payments made by us for any Morgan Capital participants in excess of premiums paid to us by Morgan Capital, as well as for any administrative expenses related to the participation of the Morgan Capital participants, which were not significant in either 2008 or 2007. Morgan Capital has obtained separate and independent insurance arrangements for its employees as of February 2008.

11. INVENTORY THEFT
In 2005, we experienced a theft of inventory resulting from break-ins at our manufacturing facility in Miami Lakes, Florida, which we have since closed. We are currently in discussions with our insurance carriers relative to this matter, and in February 2008, we engaged outside legal counsel in an effort to resolve certain disputes pertaining to our coverage under our related insurance policies. Though an ultimate resolution is still to be determined, we are seeking to recover the related loss, net of deductibles, under such insurance policies. We reduced our recorded inventory by $1,280 in 2005 and, at the same time, recorded an insurance receivable, which remains outstanding at March 31, 2008 and has been recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $2,229, and $611 for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first quarter of 2008, we signed a lease agreement which will require we make approximately $7,200 in minimum rental payments over the next five years, and another $10,400 over the remaining term of the lease.
Legal Matters
We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980’s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwaters at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) for cleanup of the site.
In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. We recorded a $415 accrual for this liability.
We believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity, individually or in the aggregate. We cannot, however, provide assurance that this will be the case.
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the closing of a private placement of our common stock in 2006, we entered into a tax matters agreement with our then-existing S corporation shareholders (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the indemnification of these shareholders for any increase in their tax liability, including interest and penalties, and reimbursement of their expenses (including attorneys’ fees) related to the period prior to our conversion to a C corporation.
On April 24, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment claiming that we were not entitled to tax deductions in connection with our then-existing practice involving the prepayment of certain management fees and our payment of certain factoring costs to CCI Enterprises, Inc., our wholly-owned C corporation subsidiary. We have appealed the IRS findings. If our appeal of the IRS findings is unsuccessful, our obligation will be to indemnify our S corporation shareholders on record as of the effective date of the Tax Matters Agreement. We have recorded accrued estimated costs of approximately $562, including interest regarding this matter.
13. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the first quarter of 2008, we changed our management reporting structure and the manner in which we report our financial results internally, including the integration of our 2007 Acquisitions for reporting purposes. These changes resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable segments. As a result of these changes, we now have two reportable segments: (1) Distribution and (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase more tailored products from us which are used as inputs into subassemblies of manufactured finished goods. We have recast prior year segment information to conform to the new segment presentation. The changes do not change our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, and statement of cash flows.
11
Financial data for the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

Consolidated operating income | | $ | 13,250 | | | $ | 7,642 | |
| | | | | | |
The Company’s operating segments have common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Depreciation expense is not allocated to segments but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.
Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary, bonuses, professional fees, restructuring, and intangible amortization. We are in process of re-assigning goodwill to our reportable segments to reflect the first-quarter changes.
14. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The payment obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7) are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several. The following unaudited supplemental financial information sets forth, on a combined basis, balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows for Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Parent”) and the Guarantor Subsidiaries — CCI Enterprises, Inc., Oswego Wire Incorporated, CCI International, Copperfield, LLC, and Spell Capital Corporation. On April 2, 2007, Copperfield became a guarantor of the Notes and of the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7).

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in this report under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A.Risk Factors” in our Annual Report onForm 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.
Overview
General
We are a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser degree, Canada. We manufacture and supply a broad line of wire and cable products, which enables us to offer our customers a single source of supply for many of their wire and cable product requirements. We manufacture our products in ten domestic manufacturing facilities and supplement our domestic production with both international and domestic sourcing. We sell our products to a variety of customers, including a wide range of specialty distributors, retailers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Virtually all of our products are sold to customers located in the U.S. and Canada.
During the first quarter of 2008, we changed our management reporting structure and the manner in which we report our financial results internally, including the integration of 2007 Acquisitions (defined below) for reporting purposes. These changes resulted in a change in our reportable segments. As a result of these changes, we now have two reportable business segments: (1) Distribution, and (2) OEM. Prior period amounts have been recast. The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase more tailored products from us which are used as inputs into sub-assemblies of manufactured finished goods.
Copper is the primary material component in most of our products. The price of copper is particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. The daily selling price of copper cathode on the COMEX averaged $3.53 per pound during the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 30% from the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average copper price on the COMEX was $3.94 per pound for April 2008. We purchase copper at the prevailing market price. Through multiple pricing strategies, we generally attempt to pass along to our customers changes in the prices of copper and other raw materials. Our ability to pass along price increases is greater when copper prices increase quickly and significantly. Gradual price increases may be more difficult to pass on to our customers and may affect our short-term profitability. Conversely, the prices of our products tend to fall more quickly in the event the price of copper drops significantly over a relatively short period of time and more slowly in the event of more gradual decreases in the price of copper. Inflationary cost pressures from higher material and fuel costs could impact our profitability and strategies in setting prices. Other factors affecting product pricing include the type of product involved, competitive conditions, including underutilized manufacturing capacity in our industry, and particular customer arrangements.
Copper volatility as well as general market uncertainty have driven fluctuating market demand in our business, factors which we believe are likely to continue during the course of 2008. Looking at 2008, we believe projected cost savings from the integration of our 2007 Acquisitions may help offset the negative impact of current economic conditions and rising material and freight costs.
Acquisitions
From time to time, we consider acquisition opportunities that could materially increase the size of our business operation. We made two acquisitions during 2007 (the “2007 Acquisitions”) which have significantly increased our scale and presented us with what we believe are a number of strategic benefits.
Copperfield, LLC
On April 2, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Copperfield, LLC (“Copperfield”) for $215.4 million, including acquisition-related costs and working capital adjustments. At the time of our acquisition, Copperfield was one of the largest privately-owned manufacturers and suppliers of electrical wire and cable products in the U.S., with annual sales in excess of $500 million.
Woods Industries, Inc.
On November 30, 2007, we acquired the electrical products business of Katy Industries, Inc., which operated in the U.S. as Woods Industries, Inc. (“Woods U.S.”) and in Canada as Woods Industries (Canada) Inc. (“Woods Canada”), collectively referred to herein as Woods (“Woods”). The principal business of Woods was the design and distribution of consumer electrical cord products, sold principally to national home improvement, mass merchant, hardware and other retailers. We purchased certain assets of Woods U.S. and all the stock of Woods Canada for $53.8 million, including acquisition-related costs and working capital adjustments.
19
Integration
In November 2007, our board of directors approved management’s integration strategy for Copperfield which involves the streamlining of Copperfield’s manufacturing operations and cost reductions related to the elimination of overlap between Coleman and Copperfield. As part of this plan, Copperfield manufacturing and distribution facilities located in Avilla, Indiana; Nogales, Arizona; and El Paso, Texas will be closed in 2008 and operations at these locations consolidated into one modern facility in El Paso, Texas. We expect to incur between $3.5 million and $4.5 million in restructuring costs in 2008 for such activities, and estimate that these measures will result in net cash expenditures of approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million in 2008 depending on various factors including the timing of the sale of owned properties and the amount of proceeds received. We expect the majority of these integration activities to be completed by the end of 2008, with the expectation that the changes will result in annual cash savings of approximately $3.0 million in 2009 and subsequent years.
We also have a major project underway to consolidate a number of our Midwest distribution centers into a single distribution facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. This new 500,000 square foot leased distribution center, which opened in April of 2008, is designed to meet the growing demands of our business and should allow for greater efficiency and reduced costs in conducting our distribution operations. The new facility will handle all distribution functions currently conducted at three separate facilities, including one we acquired as part of the Woods acquisition, and we believe the new facility will establish a platform for continuing our track record of providing superior logistics, delivery, and customer service. We expect to incur total costs between approximately $2.4 million and $3.4 million as a result of the above-described plan, primarily facility closure and severance-related costs which have been treated as a purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2008, with the remaining estimated costs to be accounted for as additional purchase accounting adjustments or as restructuring or operating expense during the course of 2008.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our consolidated results of operations and related data in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net sales. The results for the first quarter of 2008 reflect the impact of our above-noted 2007 Acquisitions, whereas the results for the first quarter of 2007 do not include the impact of the 2007 Acquisitions, which occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 2007.

EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. Other companies may define EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA of other companies. EBITDA is a performance measure and liquidity measure used by our management, and we believe it is commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company’s operating performance and ability to incur and service debt. Our management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of our business on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our internal decision-makers for evaluation and planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets and the determination of levels of operating and capital investments. In particular, our management believes that EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For example, our management believes that the inclusion of items such as taxes, interest expense, intangible asset amortization and interest income can make it more difficult to identify and assess operating trends affecting our business and industry.
Our management believes that EBITDA is a performance measure that provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, business acquisitions, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies in our industry.
EBITDA’s usefulness as a performance measure is limited by the fact that it excludes the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and taxes. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate income. Since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations.
Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use EBITDA as the only measure of our performance and liquidity. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our liquidity. The following is a reconciliation of net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA.
Note that depreciation and amortization shown in the schedule above excludes amortization of debt issuance costs, which is included in interest expense.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Net sales— Net sales for the quarter were $252.5 million compared to $109.4 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $143.1 million or 131%. This increase in net sales was primarily due to the expansion of our customer base brought about by our 2007 Acquisitions, which occurred after the first quarter in 2007. In addition, our net sales also reflect the impact of increased copper prices for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the same quarter last year. The daily selling price of copper cathode on the COMEX averaged $3.53 per pound during the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 30.3% from the average of $2.71 per pound for the first quarter of 2007. For the quarter, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) increased 123% compared to the first quarter of 2007. The increase in volume primarily reflects the impact of the above-noted prior year acquisitions. We do not expect that the remaining quarterly periods in 2008 will show similar increases in net sales as compared to the same periods in 2007, as Copperfield, which was our most-significant acquisition in 2007, was acquired on April 2, 2007, at which point its operations began to be included within our consolidated operating results.
Gross profit— We generated $28.8 million in total gross profit for the quarter, as compared to $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”) for the quarter was 11.4% compared to 15.1% for the first quarter of 2007. Both the increase in gross profit dollars and the decline in gross profit rate in 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily reflect the impact of 2007 Acquisitions. As we have noted in previous quarters, as a result of the expansion of our customer base as a result of 2007 Acquisitions, we now have a significant portion of our business where our products are priced to earn a fixed dollar margin, which causes gross profit rate to compress in higher copper price environments, as was the case in the first quarter of 2008. Such customers are primarily within our OEM segment. Also contributing to the gross profit rate decline in the first quarter of 2008 were pricing pressures due to contracting market conditions.
Selling, engineering, general and administrative (“SEG&A”)— We incurred total SEG&A expense of $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2007. The $4.3 million increase primarily reflects the impact of additional payroll-related expense as a result of 2007 Acquisitions, which has increased our sales and administrative headcounts. Total payroll-related expenses accounted for approximately $2.4 million of the total increase, with the remaining $1.9 million increase reflecting increases across a number of general and administrative expense areas. Our SEG&A as a percentage of total net sales declined to 5.1% for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to 7.8% for the first quarter of 2007, reflecting the impact of increased expense leverage as our fixed costs were spread over a higher net sales base given both increased copper prices and the impact of 2007 Acquisitions, which occurred after the first quarter of 2007.
Intangible amortization expense— Intangible amortization expense for first quarter of 2008 was $2.7 million due to the 2007 Acquisitions.
Restructuring charges— Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0.2 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2007. For the first quarter of 2008, these expenses were primarily incurred in connection with the integration of Copperfield facilities. For the first quarter of 2007, these expenses were the result of 2006 closure of our Siler City, North Carolina facility.
Interest expense, net —We incurred $7.8 million in net interest expense for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in net interest expense was due primarily to additional expense related to the 2007 Notes and increased borrowings under our Revolving Line of Credit, both due to 2007 Acquisitions, which occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 2007.
Income tax expense— Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the quarter, as compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2007, with the increase primarily attributable to increased pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Distribution Segment
For the quarter, net sales were $164.6 million, as compared to $102.0 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $62.6 million, or 61%. As noted above in our discussion of consolidated results, this increase was due primarily to an increase in our customer base as a result of our 2007 Acquisitions which occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 2007, and increased copper prices in 2008, as compared to the same period last year, which resulted in price increases and thereby increased our total net sales. For the quarter, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) increased 47% compared to the first quarter of 2007. The increase in volume primarily reflects the impact of the above-noted 2007 Acquisitions.
Operating income was $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $7.5 million, primarily reflecting the above-noted impact of increased sales levels in 2008, and to a lesser degree, an improvement in our operating income as a percentage of segment net sales (“segment operating income rate”). Our segment operating income rate was 9.9% for the quarter, as compared to 8.6% for the same period last year. The increased segment operating income rate was primarily a function of greater expense leverage relative to SEG&A expenses, as a result of increased sales levels as discussed above.
OEM Segment
For the quarter, net sales were $87.9 million compared to $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $80.5 million, or more than ten times prior year levels. As noted above, this increase was due primarily to an increase in our customer base as a result of our 2007 Acquisitions that occurred in 2007 after the first quarter, and increased copper prices in 2008, as compared to the same period last year, which resulted in price increases and thereby increased our total net sales. For the quarter, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) was more than nine times the volume shipped in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in volume primarily reflects the impact of our 2007 Acquisitions.
Operating income was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.4 million, primarily reflecting the above-noted impact of increased sales levels in 2008, partially offset by a decline in our segment gross profit rate. The decline in our segment gross profit rate primarily reflects a shift in sales mix reflecting the impact of our 2007 Acquisitions, as we now have a significant portion of our business where our products are priced to earn a fixed dollar margin, which causes gross profit rates to compress in higher copper price environments, as was the case in the first quarter of 2008.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our five-year Revolving Credit Facility, which expires in April 2012, is a senior secured facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200.0 million, subject to certain limitations. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition activity.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum of $10.0 million in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $200.0 million or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. At March 31, 2008, we had $60.5 million in remaining excess availability.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several basis, either as a co-borrower of the Company or a guarantor, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property), as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of each of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our foreign subsidiary.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates. We are also prohibited from making prepayments on the Senior Notes, except for scheduled payments required pursuant to the terms of such Senior Notes. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10.0 million in excess availability under the facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30.0 million. We maintained greater than $30.0 million of monthly excess availability during the first quarter of 2008.
On November 1, 2007, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to allow for our acquisition of Woods. The amendment also permitted us to make future investments in our Canadian subsidiaries in an aggregate amount, together with the investment made to acquire Woods Canada, not to exceed $25.0 million. As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.
9.875% Senior Notes
At March 31, 2008, we had $240.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.875% senior notes outstanding, all of which mature on October 1, 2012 (the “Senior Notes”). As noted above, the Senior Notes include the $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2007 Notes issued in connection with our acquisition of Copperfield. The 2007 Notes are governed by the same indenture (the “Indenture”) and have substantially the same terms and conditions as our $120.0 million aggregate principal of 9.875% senior notes issued in 2004 (the “2004 Notes”).
The Indenture includes a covenant that prohibits us from incurring additional indebtedness (other than certain permitted indebtedness, including but not limited to the maximum availability under our Revolving Credit Facility), unless our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0.
As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes.
24
Current and Future Liquidity
In general, we require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and interest. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant demand for products or significant copper price increases.
Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, (4) planned capital expenditures, and (5) our ability to borrow additional funds under the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility.
Based on the foregoing, we believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, debt service and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
If we experience a deficiency in earnings with respect to our fixed charges in the future, we would need to fund the fixed charges through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations, together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our operations, debt service and capital expenditures and we need to seek additional sources of capital, the limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture relating to our Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.
Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of 2008 was $3.5 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. The primary factors contributing to the increase in cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007 were: (1) a $19.3 increase in cash used for inventories due to higher raw material costs and increased quantities; and (2) a $25.1 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments, partially offset by (3) a $20.9 million increase in cash from accounts receivable due to timing of collections.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2008 was $4.3 million due primarily to capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2008 was $2.8 million due to increased borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund operations and capital expenditures.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations we engage in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until December 31, 2008. The impact SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements when effective will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate after the effective date.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008 for financial assets and is effective in the first quarter of 2009 for non-financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company at the beginning of 2008. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the consolidated financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. We do not currently have any minority interest components at any of our subsidiaries, and we do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
25
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This Statement specifically requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, but do not believe that our adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the first quarter of 2008.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Various statements contained in this report, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this report, including certain statements contained in “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (available atwww.sec.gov) , may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include:
| • | | fluctuations in the supply or price of copper and other raw materials; |
|
| • | | increased competition from other wire and cable manufacturers, including foreign manufacturers; |
|
| • | | pricing pressures causing margins to decrease; |
|
| • | | general economic conditions and changes in the demand for our products by key customers; |
|
| • | | the consummation of acquisitions; |
|
| • | | failure to identify, finance or integrate acquisitions; |
|
| • | | failure to accomplish integration activities on a timely basis; |
|
| • | | failure to achieve expected efficiencies in our manufacturing and integration consolidations; |
|
| • | | changes in the cost of labor or raw materials, including PVC and fuel costs; |
|
| • | | inaccuracies in purchase agreements relating to acquisitions; |
|
| • | | failure of customers to make expected purchases, including customers of acquired companies; |
|
| • | | unforeseen developments or expenses with respect to our acquisition, integration and consolidation efforts; and |
|
| • | | other risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. |
In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change and, therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to today.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our principal market risks are exposure to changes in commodity prices, primarily copper prices, and interest rates on borrowings.
Commodity Risk.Certain raw materials used in our products are subject to price volatility, most notably copper, which is the primary raw material used in our products. The price of copper is particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. We purchase copper at prevailing market prices and, through multiple pricing strategies, generally attempt to pass along to our customers changes in the price of copper and other raw materials. From time-to-time, we enter into derivatives, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We do not speculate on copper prices. We record these derivative contracts at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold as they occur. At March 31, 2008, we had contracts with an aggregate fair value of negative $1.8 million to sell 3,000 pounds of copper in May 2008. A hypothetical adverse movement of 10% in the price of copper at March 31, 2008, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in a loss in the fair value of our commodity futures contracts of approximately $1.1 million as of March 31, 2008.
Interest Rate Risk.We have exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our debt obligations. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 34% of our debt was variable rate, primarily our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility for which interest costs are based on either the lenders’ prime rate or LIBOR. Based on the amount of our variable rate borrowings at March 31, 2008, which totaled approximately $126.5 million, an immediate one percentage point change in LIBOR would change our annual interest expense by approximately $1.3 million. This estimate assumes that the amount of variable rate borrowings remains constant for an annual period and that the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of March 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II —OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In those cases in which we are the defendant, plaintiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts or other types of relief and some matters may remain unresolved for several years. We believe that none of the litigation that we now face, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flow or results of operations. We maintain insurance coverage for litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business and believe such coverage is adequate.
