NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — GENERAL
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” and “our” throughout this Form 10-Q). All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.
In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, our results for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing financial information, we use certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Some of these estimates require difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, customer incentives, vendor rebates, inventories, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, employee benefits, unearned income and contingencies. The estimates of fair value of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the periods are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.
Revenue Recognition
We sell products we source from vendors to our customers through either a “buy/sell” transaction or an agency relationship with our vendors. In a “buy/sell” transaction, we purchase or take inventory of products from the vendor. When a customer places an order with us, we pick, pack and ship products, and then invoice the customer for the order. We recognize revenue from “buy/sell” transactions as product sales when the product is delivered to the customer. We accept product returns from our customers. We estimate returns based on historical experience and recognize these estimated returns as a reduction of product sales. Product returns have not been significant to our financial statements. In an agency relationship, we generally do not purchase and take inventory of products from vendors. We receive an order from a customer, then transmit the order to the vendor, who picks, packs and ships the order to the customer. In some cases, the vendor invoices and collects payment from the customer, while in other cases we invoice and collect payment from the customer on behalf of the vendor. We receive a commission payment for soliciting the order from the customer and for providing other customer service activities. Commissions are recognized when the services upon which the commissions are based are completed. Gross billings from agency contracts were $59,105 and $45,350 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and generated commission revenue of $2,875 and $2,093, respectively. Gross billings from agency contracts were $89,588 and $72,220 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and generated commission revenue of $4,574 and $3,506, respectively.
Cost of Product Sales and Vendor Rebates
Cost of product sales consist of our inventory product cost, including shipping costs to and from our distribution centers. Vendor rebates are recorded based on the terms of the contracts or programs with each vendor. We receive quarterly, trimester, semi-annual and annual performance-based rebates from third-party vendors based upon attainment of certain sales and/or purchase goals. Sales rebates are classified in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as a reduction to
6
cost of product sales at the time the sales performance measures are achieved. Purchase rebates are measured against inventory purchases from the vendors and are classified as a reduction of inventory until the product is sold. When the inventory is sold and purchase measures are achieved, purchase rebates are recognized as a reduction to cost of product sales.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications, none of which affected results of operations, have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods to conform to current year presentation.
NOTE 2 — EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 replaces FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2005 and was effective for us the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the expected impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This statement emphasizes that fair value should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use to price the asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for our fiscal year and interim period beginning October 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the expected impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the expected impact, if any, that SAB 108 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the expected impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Product sales resulting from transactions with a single customer were 9% of total product sales during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, and 9% during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006. Approximately 9% and 10% of our trade receivables resulted from transactions with this single customer as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Product sales resulting from transactions with Feeders’ Advantage LLC (“Feeders Advantage”), a related party, were 5% of total product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2007, 6% during the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 6% during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2006 the Company relocated from its existing, owned distribution center to a new larger leased facility located in Denver, Colorado and sold the owned distribution center. The sale of the distribution center closed in February 2006, resulting in a gain of approximately $62 that is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

NOTE 6 — CREDIT FACILITY AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Line-of-Credit—On December 13, 2006, MWI Veterinary Supply Co., (our wholly-owned subsidiary) as borrower, entered into an unsecured credit agreement with us and Memorial Pet Care, Inc., as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (collectively, the “lenders”) for the provision of a revolving credit facility (the “facility”). The facility allows for borrowings in the aggregate of $70,000, with the right to request an increase in the commitment of the lenders to $100,000. The facility has a maturity date of December 1, 2011 and a variable interest rate equal to the Daily LIBOR Floating Rate or the LIBOR 1-month fixed rate (at our option) plus a margin ranging from 0.7% to 1.25%. The lenders also receive an unused line fee and letter of credit fee equal to 0.125% of the unused amount of the facility. Our outstanding balance on the facility at March 31, 2007 was $6,572 and the interest rate for the facility was 6.2% as of that date. This facility replaced the five-year Credit Agreement dated June 18, 2002 between MWI Veterinary Supply Co. and Bank of America, N.A., which had an outstanding balance at September 30, 2006 of $10,559.
The line-of-credit contains certain financial covenants as well as other restrictive covenants. The facility allows for the issuance of up to $10,000 in letters of credit. The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third-parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. We had thirteen letters of credit totaling $980 at March 31, 2007 and eleven letters of credit totaling $780 at September 30, 2006. There were no outstanding borrowings on these letters of credit at either March 31, 2007 or September 30, 2006.
Long-Term Debt—In January 2005, we issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $487 in partial consideration for the purchase of substantially all the assets of Vetpo Distributors, Inc. The note bears interest at the prime rate (8.25% at March 31, 2007), payable quarterly. The principal of the note is payable in five equal annual installments, the first of which was due on January 1, 2006. The balance on this promissory note was $292 at March 31, 2007 and $389 at September 30, 2006.
NOTE 7 — STOCK OPTIONS
We have two stock-based award plans, the 2002 Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan allows our Board of Directors to grant common stock options, restricted stock, deferred units and other stock-based awards to directors, executives and other key employees. These plans have been developed to provide additional incentives by allowing equity ownership in our company and, as a result, encouraging participants to contribute to our success. At March 31, 2007, 528,305 options to purchase common stock were outstanding (359,081 options vested and exercisable) with a weighted average exercise price of $3.06 and expiring through September 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we granted 1,000 shares of restricted stock, which vest annually over 5 years. At March 31, 2007, 1,650,560 shares were available to be issued under our stock-based award plans.
Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123- (Revised), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123-R”) for our share-based compensation plans. We previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principals of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”). Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense was recorded in earnings for the stock-based awards granted under our stock-based award plans. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share for stock-based awards were instead disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. Under SFAS 123-R, all share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.
We adopted SFAS 123-R using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation expense includes the expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 1, 2005, excluding those
9
options initially valued using the minimum value method. At October 1, 2005, all of our options to purchase common stock were either vested and exercisable or were initially valued using the minimum value method. Therefore no compensation expense was recognized for these stock-based awards in our fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We granted no common stock options during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized $22 and $42 of compensation expense related to restricted stock grants, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized $1 of compensation expense related to restricted stock grants.
NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 38.5% and 39.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 37.9% and 39.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily a result of a decrease in our estimated state income tax rate due to the utilization of state tax credits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc.
Meridian, Idaho
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 21, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
All dollar amounts are presented in thousands, except for per share amounts.
Overview
We are a leading distributor of animal health products to veterinarians across the United States. We distribute more than 11,000 products sourced from over 400 vendors to approximately 15,000 veterinary practices nationwide from twelve strategically located distribution centers. Products we sell include pharmaceuticals, vaccines, parasiticides, diagnostics, capital equipment, supplies, veterinary pet food and nutritional products. We market these products to veterinarians in both the companion animal and production animal markets. Historically, approximately two-thirds of our total revenues have been generated from sales to the companion animal market and one-third from sales to the production animal market. The increasing maturity of the production animal market results in lower margins on product sales relative to the companion animal market. While the average order size for companion animal health products is often smaller than production animal health products, companion animal health products typically have higher margins.
Common Stock Offerings
On August 3, 2005, we completed our initial public offering in which we sold an aggregate of 4,983,334 shares (including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) of our common stock at a price to the public of $17 per share. We received net proceeds of $77,159 after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to redeem all of our Series A preferred stock for approximately $39,789 and to repay approximately $37,370 of borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility under our former credit agreement. In the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2006, we issued 908,846 shares (including the shares issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) of our common stock at a price to the public of $32.25 per share. We used the net proceeds of $27,341 received from this offering to pay down our borrowings on our former revolving credit facility. On April 20, 2007, we issued 348,974 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $35.00 per share. We used the net proceeds received from this offering to pay down our borrowings on our revolving credit facility and for general business purposes.
Sales
We sell products that we source from our vendors to our customers through either a “buy/sell” transaction or an agency relationship with our vendors. In a “buy/sell” transaction, we purchase or take inventory of products from our vendors. When a customer places an order, we pick, pack and ship products, and then invoice the customer for the order. We record sales from “buy/sell” transactions, which account for the majority of our business, as revenue in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In an agency relationship, we generally do not purchase and take inventory of products from vendors. When we receive an order from a customer, we transmit the order to the vendor, who picks, packs and ships the order to our customer. In some cases, the vendor invoices and collects payment from the customer, while in other cases we invoice and collect payment from the customer on behalf of the vendor. We receive a commission payment for soliciting the order from the customer and for providing other customer service activities. The aggregate revenue we receive in agency transactions constitutes the “commissions” line item on our statement of income and is recorded in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The vendor determines the method we use to sell the products. Historically, vendors have occasionally switched between the “buy/sell” and agency models for particular products in response to market conditions related to that particular product. A switch between models can impact our revenues, gross margin, gross margin percentage and operating income.
Vendor Rebates
We typically renegotiate vendor contracts annually. These vendor contracts may include terms defining rebates, commissions and exclusivity requirements. Vendor rebates based on sales are classified in our accompanying consolidated statements of income as a reduction to cost of product sales at the time the sales performance measures are achieved. Purchase rebates are measured against inventory purchases from the vendors and are a reduction of inventory until the product is sold. When the inventory is sold, purchase rebates are recognized as a reduction to cost of product sales. Many of our vendors’ rebate programs are based on a calendar year. Historically, the three months ended December 31 has been our most significant quarter for recognition of rebates. During the calendar year 2006, certain of our vendors modified their
13
rebate programs with us. These rebate program modifications changed the revenue growth targets from annual-weighted calendar year targets to either quarterly or trimester growth targets. These modifications resulted in rebates previously expected to be earned and recognized in our first 2007 fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, to be recognized in our fiscal year 2006.
Northland Veterinary Supply, Ltd. Acquisition
On May 8, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Northland Veterinary Supply, Ltd. (“Northland”) for approximately $4,546, consisting of $3,551 in cash (including direct acquisition costs of approximately $116) and 28,744 shares of unregistered restricted common stock valued at the time of issuance at approximately $995. Based in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, Northland is a distributor of animal health products to veterinary practices and producers across the Midwestern portion of the United States.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Total Revenues. Total revenues increased 22.1% to $175,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $143,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was attributable to an increase in product sales volumes of a wide variety of products to both new and existing customers. Revenues attributable to new customers represented approximately 60% of the growth in total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Included in the new customer growth were approximately $3,950 of revenues attributable to new customers acquired as a result of the acquisition of Northland that was completed on May 8, 2006. Revenues attributable to existing customers represented approximately 40% of the growth in total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2007. For the purpose of calculating growth rates of new and existing customer revenue, we have defined a new customer as a customer that did not purchase product from us in the corresponding fiscal quarter of the prior year, with the remaining customer base being considered an existing customer. Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase in commissions on our agency sales of 37.4% to $2,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $2,093 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by 22.6% to $24,422 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $19,928 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase in gross profit was a result of increased total revenues as discussed above as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues increased 0.1% to 14.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 13.9% for the same period in the prior year. Actual rebate dollars increased approximately $76 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to higher sales growth with a key vendor offset by lower sales growth with another key vendor.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A increased 17.9% to $17,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $15,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This dollar increase was primarily due to increased compensation costs as a result of additional headcount of 124 team members, including 30 new field sales and telesales representatives. Employee benefits and workers’ compensation costs increased as a result of the growth in headcount, as well as higher health insurance costs due to growth in the volume and magnitude of individual claims. Also contributing to the growth in SG&A were increased occupancy and location costs due to the expansion of a number of distribution centers and sales growth, and higher credit card fees as a result of customer usage.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 27.3% to $602 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $473 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of the new distribution center in Orlando, Florida that opened in June 2006 as well as the relocation and expansion of the distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia in January 2007 and the expansion of the distribution centers in Clear Lake, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado and Glendale, Arizona.
Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased 96.3% to $17 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $464 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease in other expenses was due to a reduction in interest expense of $418 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the lower average loan balance on the facility. We used the proceeds from the sale of common stock in our follow-on offering in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2006 to pay down the loan balance.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 38.5% and 39.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily a result of a decrease in our estimated state income tax rate due to the utilization of state tax credits.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2006
Total Revenues. Total revenues increased 19.5% to $336,098 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $281,165 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was attributable to an increase in product sales volumes of a wide variety of products to both new and existing customers. Revenues attributable to new customers represented approximately 70% of the growth in total revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Included in the new customer growth were approximately $6,650 of revenues attributable to new customers acquired as a result of the acquisition of Northland that was completed on May 8, 2006. Revenues attributable to existing customers represented approximately 30% of the growth in total revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2007. For the purpose of calculating growth rates of new and existing
16
customer revenue, we have defined a new customer as a customer that did not purchase product from us in the corresponding six months of the prior year, with the remaining customer base being considered an existing customer. Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase in commissions on our agency sales of 30.5% to $4,574 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $3,506 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by 17.6% to $50,171 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $42,680 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase in gross profit was a result of increased total revenues as discussed above as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased approximately 0.3% to 14.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from 15.2% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to decreased vendor rebates as a percentage of total revenues. Vendor rebates have historically been highest during our first fiscal quarter ended December 31, since certain significant vendor rebate programs were designed to include annual targets to be achieved based on the calendar year. Vendor modifications to rebate programs during the calendar year 2006 from annual-weighted calendar year growth targets to either quarterly or trimester growth targets resulted in a shift of rebate dollars that historically would have been earned in our first quarter of our fiscal year 2007 ended December 31, 2006 to be earned in our fiscal year 2006. Included in vendor rebates for the fiscal year 2006 were approximately $2,500 ($1,500 after tax) due to this shift in the timing of rebates. Actual rebate dollars increased $372 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A increased 19.7% to $35,500 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $29,652 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This dollar increase was primarily due to increased compensation costs as a result of additional headcount of 124 team members, including 30 new field sales and telesales representatives. Employee benefits and workers’ compensation costs increased as a result of the growth in headcount, as well as higher health insurance costs due to a growth in the volume and magnitude of individual claims. Also contributing to the growth in SG&A were increased location costs due to to the expansion of a number of distribution centers and sales growth, and higher credit card fees as a result of customer usage.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 28.0% to $1,171 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $915 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of the new distribution center in Orlando, Florida that opened in June 2006 as well as the relocation and expansion of the distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia in January 2007 and the expansion of the distribution centers in Clear Lake, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado and Glendale, Arizona.
Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased 82.9% to $151 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $884 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease in other expenses was due to a reduction in interest expense of $704 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the lower average loan balance on the facility. We used the proceeds from the sale of common stock in our follow-on offering in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2006 to pay down the loan balance.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 37.9% and 39.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate in the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily a result of a decrease in our estimated state income tax rate due to the utilization of state tax credits.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and borrowings on the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement. We use capital primarily to fund day-to-day operations and to maintain sufficient inventory levels in order to promptly fulfill customer orders and to expand our operations and sales growth. We believe our capital resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
17
MWI Supply Co., (our wholly-owned subsidiary) has a line-of-credit under a revolving credit facility with two lenders. The facility allows for borrowings in the aggregate of $70,000, with the right to request an increase in the commitment of the lenders to $100,000. The facility has a maturity date of December 1, 2011 and a variable interest rate equal to the Daily LIBOR Floating Rate or the LIBOR 1-month fixed rate (at our option) plus a margin ranging from 0.7% to 1.25%. The lenders also receive an unused line fee and letter of credit fee equal to 0.125% of the unused amount of the facility. Our outstanding balance on the facility at March 31, 2007 was $6,572 and the interest rate on the facility was 6.2% as of this date. The line-of-credit contains certain financial covenants as well as other restrictive covenants.
The facility allows for the issuance of up to $10,000 in letters of credit. The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. We had thirteen letters of credit totaling $980 at March 31, 2007 and eleven letters of credit totaling $780 at September 30, 2006. There were no outstanding borrowings on these letters of credit at either March 31, 2007 or September 30, 2006.
Operating Activities. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, cash provided by operations was $5,644 and was primarily attributable to net income of $8,292 and a reduction in inventories of $4,525 due to the timing of inventory purchases in anticipation of price increases. These changes were offset by an increase in receivables of $4,708 due to the nature of terms extended and timing of collections and by an decrease in accounts payable of $3,622.
For the six months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided by operations was $2,003, and was primarily attributable to net income of $6,794 and a reduction in inventories of $4,959 offset by an increase in receivables of $5,192 and a decrease in accounts payable of $5,731. The decrease in inventories from September 30, 2005 to March 31, 2006 were a result of higher inventory levels at September 30, 2005 due to seasonal purchases related to production animals and due to purchases of products in advance of price increases.
Investing Activities. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, net cash used in investing activities was $1,698 and was primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment related to the relocation of our existing distribution center to a larger distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia and improvements to our distribution centers in Clear Lakes, Wisconsin, Nampa, Idaho and Denver, Colorado. We also made improvements to our information technology infrastructure throughout the Company.
For the six months ended March 31, 2006, net cash used in investing activities was $2,191 and was primarily due to capital expenditures of $2,238 related to relocating the Company’s existing distribution center to a new larger distribution center in Denver, Colorado and due to the purchase of equipment for a new distribution center in Orlando, Florida. During the three-months ended March 31, 2006 the Company completed its sale of a distribution center previously operated in Denver, Colorado for $1,455.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, net cash used in financing activities was $3,946, and was primarily attributable to payments on our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility is used to finance our working capital requirements and fluctuates based on timing of payables and collection of receivables.
For the six months ended March 31, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was $191, and was primarily attributable to proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits.
Contractual Obligations and Guarantees
For information on our contractual obligations and guarantees, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on November 22, 2006 with the SEC. During the six months ended March 31, 2007 we entered into the following leasing arrangements:
· In November 2006, we leased approximately 16,000 square feet of additional distribution center space located in Denver, Colorado with an incremental average annual lease of $72 per year and expiring in 2013.
· Also in November 2006, we renewed one lease agreement and entered into a second lease agreement for a combined 19,500 square foot distribution center located in Glendale, Arizona. The lease expense averages $115 per year and the leases expire in 2009.
18
· In March 2007, we leased approximately 5,500 square feet of additional distribution center space located in Nampa, Idaho with an incremental average annual lease of $28 per year and expiring in 2012.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates in the United States. The Company does not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
The interest payable on the facility is based on variable interest rates and is therefore affected by changes in market interest rates. If the interest rate on the variable rate indebtedness increased 62 basis points (a 10.0% change from the interest rate as of March 31, 2007), assuming no change in the outstanding balance on the facility ($6,572 as of March 31, 2007), the annualized income before taxes and cash flows from operating activities would decline by approximately $41. If the interest rate on the variable rate indebtedness decreased 62 basis points (a 10.0% change from the interest rate as of March 31, 2007), assuming no change in the outstanding balance on the facility, the annualized income before taxes and cash flows from operating activities would increase by approximately $41.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosures to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
