NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the three months ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007 and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 28, 2008 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 28, 2008 and results of operations and cash flow for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the periods ended March 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. Quarterly periods are based on a 4 weeks - 4 weeks - 5 weeks methodology. As a result, the first quarter can include a partial or expanded week in the first four week period of the quarter. Similarly, the last five week period in the fourth quarter could include a partial or expanded week. Certain subsidiaries operating outside of North America are included for periods beginning and ending one month prior to the period presented, which enables timely processing of consolidating results. There were no material intervening events that occurred at these locations in the one month period prior to the period presented.
The Company incurred research & development expenses in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 of $12.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
2. | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, was issued in September 2006 and, except as noted below, is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value to be utilized under other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement generally is to be applied prospectively, so that it does not require any new fair value measurements. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” the FASB deferred for one year, the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants would use) used in pricing an asset or liability by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The Company generally applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with; (1) valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and (2) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

The fair value of the deferred compensation liability that is characterized as Level 1 is associated with investments in notional amounts of Company stock. The assets and liabilities characterized as Level 2 derive their value from observable investments.
The fair value of the diesel hedge is measured using the Department of Energy’s diesel index for the duration of the contract.
The fair value for the interest rate collars was derived using the forward three month libor curve for the duration of the respective collars and a credit spread.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $9.5 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007, respectively. Interest charges in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.2 million were capitalized in connection with construction projects for the three months ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007, respectively. During the quarter ended March 28, 2008 the Company determined that the carrying value of certain property, plant and equipment assets should be written down to zero in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No. 144. The write down resulted in a charge of $1.5 million that was principally reflected with SG&A expense for the Consumer International segment.
Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options outstanding and the dilutive effect of convertible debentures. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate Basic EPS is reconciled to those shares used in calculating Diluted EPS as follows:

Intangible amortization expense amounted to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $4.5 million for the same period of 2007. The Company’s estimated intangible amortization expense will be approximately $19.1 million in the twelve months of 2008 and 2009, $18.4 million in 2010, $18.0 million in 2011, $17.4 million in 2012, and $16.5 million in 2013.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded tradename impairment charges of $3.4 million related to Consumer International brands. These charges are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in this segment and were the result of lower forecasted sales and profitability. The amount of the impairment charges was determined by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.
Effective January 1, 2008 approximately $19.0 million of tradenames previously considered indefinite lived assets were recharacterized as finite lived due to increased competition in their respective categories and are now being amortized over lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. The lives were determined based upon the estimated future cash flows of these brands.

11. | Commitments, contingencies and guarantees |
a. | The Company has a partnership with a supplier of raw materials which mines and processes sodium mineral deposits. This agreement terminates upon two years’ written notice by either company. The Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons at the prevailing market price and purchases the majority of its sodium raw material requirements from the partnership. The Company is not engaged in any other material transactions with the partnership or the Company’s partner. |
b. | The Company’s distribution of condoms under the TROJAN and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of the Company’s condoms and similar condoms sold by its competitors contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredient’s potential to cause irritation to human membranes. In 2005, the FDA issued non-binding draft guidance concerning the labeling of condoms in general and those with N-9 in particular. The Company filed a response recommending alternative labeling to the FDA and has engaged in further discussions with the FDA since that time. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company implemented an interim label statement change cautioning against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of condoms with N-9 and launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. The Company believes that its present labeling for condoms with N-9 is compliant with the overall objectives of the FDA’s draft guidance and that condoms with N-9 will remain a viable contraceptive choice for those couples who wish to use them. The Company cannot predict the nature of the labeling that ultimately will be required by the FDA if the FDA or state governments eventually promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements). The Company could incur costs from obsolete products, packaging or raw materials, and sales of condoms could decline, which, in turn, could decrease the Company’s operating income. |
c. | As of March 28, 2008, the Company has commitments to acquire approximately $99.9 million of raw material, packaging supplies and services from its vendors at market prices. |
d. | The Company has $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit drawn on several banks which guarantee payment for such things as finished goods inventory, insurance claims and one year of rent on a warehouse in the event of the Company’s insolvency. |
e. | In connection with the Company’s October 2003 acquisition of Unilever’s oral care brands in the United States and Canada in October 2003, the Company is required to make additional performance-based payments of a minimum of $5.0 million and a maximum of $12.0 million over the eight year period following the acquisition. The Company made cash payments of $0.3 million, and accrued a payment of $0.3 million in the first three months of 2008. The payment and accrual were accounted for as additional purchase price. The Company has paid approximately $8.3 million, exclusive of the $0.3 million accrual, in additional performance-based payments since the acquisition. |
f. | The Company filed suit against Abbott Laboratories, Inc (“Abbott”) in April 2005 claiming infringement of certain patents resulting from Abbott’s manufacture and sale of its Fact Plus pregnancy diagnostic test kits. Following a trial in February 2008, the jury found that the Company’s patents were valid and willfully infringed by Abbott during the period from April 1999 through September 2003 and awarded damages to the Company in the amount of $14.6 million. There are several post-trial motions pending in the litigation seeking, among other things, to set aside the verdict. These motions are pending, and the Company will vigorously contest them. In June 2007, Abbott filed suit against the Company claiming infringement of certain patents that are licensed to Abbott, also in relation to pregnancy diagnostic test kits. The Company intends to continue its vigorous defense of this action. |
g. | The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position. |

(the “Orajel acquisition”) for cash consideration of $380.0 million. Del Pharmaceuticals, Inc. net sales include the Orajel brand of oral analgesics and various other over-the-counter brands. The Company will pay for the acquisition with borrowings under its existing bank credit facility, increases in the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility and available cash. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions, is expected to close in July 2008.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Results of Operations
Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net Sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2008 were $552.9 million, $38.5 million or approximately 7.5% above last year’s first quarter. Of that increase, approximately 1.5% is a result of foreign exchange rate changes, with the balance evenly divided between higher volume and price/mix.
Operating Costs
The Company’s gross profit was $224.1 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2008, a $24.2 million increase as compared to the same period in 2007. Gross margin increased 160 basis points to 40.5% in the first quarter compared to 38.9% in the same quarter last year. The gross margin expansion is due to the benefits of the conversion of the Company’s liquid laundry detergent to a more concentrated formula, synergies resulting from manufacturing integration of the business (the “OGI business”) acquired from Orange Glo International in 2006, a diesel hedge contract, pricing, lower slotting costs and cost reduction programs, partially offset by higher commodity and energy costs. The impact of lower slotting costs and the diesel hedge program contributed approximately 100 basis points to the gross margin expansion. These items are expected to result in higher costs in future quarters.
Marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were $53.5 million, an increase of $7.6 million as compared to the same period last year. This increase is due primarily to increased advertising expenses for OGI acquired products, cat litter products and condoms.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $77.9 million in the first quarter, a $6.0 million increase over the prior year’s first quarter due to a $5.6 million asset impairment charge recorded at one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, of which $5.4 million is included in SG&A, higher legal costs due principally to the ongoing lawsuit with Abbott Laboratories (see paragraph f in Note 11 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report), higher selling expenses in support of higher sales, and $1.7 million of increased research and development spending to support new products. These increases were partially offset by the $3.0 million gain on the divestiture of Brotherton Specialty Products Ltd. (“Brotherton”), a former Specialty Products subsidiary located in the United Kingdom. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 14.1% in the quarter, consistent with last year’s first quarter.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income was approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to other expense of $0.4 million in the same period of 2007. The change is primarily due to foreign exchange gains.
Interest expense in the first quarter of 2008 decreased $2.7 million compared to the same period in 2007. This was due to lower interest rates compared to the prior year and lower average bank debt outstanding as a result of voluntary and mandatory repayments.
Investment income increased $0.9 million due to higher available cash for investment partially offset by lower interest rates.
Taxation
The first quarter 2008 tax rate was 35.7% as compared to 36.0% during the first quarter of 2007. The Company does not believe the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within twelve months of the reporting date.
Segment Results
The Company operates three reportable segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (“SPD”). These segments are determined based on differences in the nature of products and organizational and ownership structures. The Company also has a Corporate segment.
Segment | Products |
Consumer Domestic | Household and personal care products |
Consumer International | Primarily personal care products |
SPD | Specialty chemical products |
The Company had 50% ownership interests in Armand Products Company (“Armand”) and The ArmaKleen Company (“Armakleen”) as of March 28, 2008. The Company’s 50% ownership interest in Esseco U.K. LLP (“Esseco”) was divested as part of the sale of Brotherton. The equity in earnings of Armand and Armakleen for the three months ended March 28, 2008 and Esseco for the two months ended February 29, 2008, prior to its sale, is included in the Corporate segment.
Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results set forth below.
Segment sales and income before taxes and minority interest for the three month periods ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007 were as follows:
(In thousands) | | Consumer Domestic(3) | | | Consumer International(3) | | | SPD | | | Corporate | | | Total | |

(1) | Intersegment sales from Consumer International to Consumer Domestic were $2.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007, respectively. |
(2) | In determining Income Before Minority Interest and Income Taxes, interest expense, investment earnings, and other income (expense) were allocated to the segments based upon each segment’s relative operating profit. The Corporate segment income consists of equity in earnings of affiliates. |
(3) | As of January 1, 2008, the Company modified its organizational structure, resulting in a change in classification of certain Consumer Domestic export sales. Therefore, 2007 results have been restated to reflect a change in sales of $2.5 million and $0.3 million of Income Before Minority Interest that are now included in the Consumer International Segment. |
Product line revenues for external customers for the three months ended March 28, 2008, and March 30, 2007, were as follows:
| | Three Months Ended | |

Total Consolidated Net Sales | | $ | 552,867 | | | $ | 514,335 | |
Consumer Domestic
Consumer Domestic net sales in the first quarter of 2008 were $382.7 million, a $12.9 million or 3.5% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2007. The change is due to both higher unit volumes and higher prices (resulting, in part, from lower promotion costs). Sales of ARM & HAMMER and XTRA liquid laundry detergent were higher than in last year’s first quarter. Other brands that contributed to higher sales were ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP cat litter, FIRST RESPONSE pregnancy kits, and ARM & HAMMER Dental Care. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of other toothpaste brands and lower antiperspirant sales.
Consumer Domestic Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes for the first quarter of 2008 was $67.8 million, a $15.0 million increase as compared to the first quarter of 2007. The impact of higher sales, lower slotting costs, synergies related to the manufacturing integration of the OGI business, the shift to concentrated liquid laundry detergent and the Company’s diesel hedging program was partially offset by higher commodity costs and higher marketing costs. SG&A expenses were unchanged as compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Consumer International
Consumer International net sales were $99.7 million in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $13.0 million or approximately 15.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Of the 15% increase, approximately 10% is associated with favorable foreign exchange rates. The balance of the change is due to higher sales in Australia and U.S. exports.
Consumer International Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes was $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2008, a $3.6 million decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Offsetting the favorable net sales performance were asset impairment charges of $5.6 million, severance costs in one of the Company’s European subsidiaries and additional tradename amortization expense.
Specialty Products (SPD)
Specialty Products net sales were $70.4 million in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $12.7 million, or 21.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2007. This increase is principally due to higher pricing and unit volume increases in both animal nutrition and specialty chemicals. The animal nutrition sales increase also reflects a pricing surcharge enacted during the third quarter of 2007 on certain products to recover extraordinary cost increases for a key raw material.
Specialty Products Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes was $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $5.4 million as compared to the first quarter of 2007. The increase is principally the result of profits on higher net sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs for certain animal nutrition and specialty chemical products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Debt
The Company had outstanding total debt of $747.9 million and cash of $208.1 million (of which approximately $65.7 million resides in foreign subsidiaries) at March 28, 2008. Total debt less cash (“net debt”) was $539.8 million at March 28, 2008. This compares to total debt of $856.0 million and cash of $249.8 million, resulting in net debt of $606.2 million at December 31, 2007.
The Company entered into two zero cost collar cash flow hedge agreements covering $100.0 million of debt, one effective as of September 29, 2006, and the other effective as of December 29, 2006, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on its bank debt. The hedge agreements have terms of 5 and 3 years, respectively, each with a cap of 6.50% and a floor of 3.57%. There was no income statement impact as a result of these agreements as all changes in the hedging options’ fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.
| | Three Months Ended | |
Cash Flow Analysis (In millions) | | March 28, 2008 | | | March 30, 2007 | |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | | $ | 62.7 | | | $ | 29.6 | |
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities | | $ | 4.2 | | | $ | (11.5 | ) |
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities | | $ | (108.8 | ) | | $ | (20.8 | ) |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – The Company’s net cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2008 increased $33.1 million to $62.7 million as compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to working capital changes, higher net income, and asset impairments and write-offs partially offset by the gain on the sale of Brotherton (see Note 13). The Company anticipates that its cash from operations will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure program costs, pay its dividend at current rates and meet its mandatory debt repayment schedule over the next twelve months.
For the three months ending March 28, 2008, the components of working capital that significantly affected operating cash flow are as follows:
| Accounts receivable decreased $3.4 million due to decreases at certain foreign subsidiaries. |
| Inventories increased $3.5 million primarily to support higher anticipated sales. |
| Accounts payable and other accrued expenses decreased $30.5 million primarily due to incentive compensation and profit sharing payments. |
| Taxes payable increased $20.9 million due to higher tax expense associated with higher earnings. |
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities – Net cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of 2008 was $4.2 million, reflecting the $9.6 million proceeds from the sale of Brotherton and $1.3 million received in connection with a note receivable, offset by $6.3 million of property, plant and equipment expenditures.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2008 was $108.8 million. This reflects a $100.0 million payment of the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility, mandatory payments on the Term Loan of $8.5 million and the payment of cash dividends of $5.3 million offset by proceeds of and tax benefits from stock option exercises of $4.6 million. The Company anticipates increasing the securitization facility up to $100.0 million during the second quarter to provide a portion of the funding of the July 2008 Orajel acquisition described in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Adjusted EBITDA is a required component of the financial covenants contained in the Company's primary credit facility. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a financial indicator of the Company's ability to service its indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Financial covenants include a total debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a certain period of time. Adjusted EBITDA was $117.1 million for the first three months of 2008. The leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) for the 12 months ended March 28, 2008 was 1.88, which is below the maximum of 3.75 permitted under the credit facility, and the interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense) for the twelve months ended March 28, 2008 was 6.95, which is above the minimum of 3.0 permitted under the credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by the assets of the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries. The reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 28, 2008 is as follows (in millions):
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | | $ | 62.7 | |
Interest Expense | | | 12.5 | |
Current Portion Of Income Tax Provision | | | 29.1 | |
Tax Benefit On Stock Options Exercised | | | 1.9 | |
Change in Working Capital and Other Liabilities | | | 11.6 | |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, was issued in September 2006 and, except as noted below, is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value to be utilized under other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement generally is to be applied prospectively, so that it does not require any new fair value measurements. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 159-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” the FASB deferred for one year, the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51,” was issued in December 2007 and is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No.160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (sometimes called minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company is currently assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on its consolidated statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” to replace SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) requires use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. While the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements for transactions completed prior to December 31, 2008, the impact of the accounting change could be material for business combinations consummated following adoption.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The provisions are effective as of January 1, 2009. This statement requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how the Company accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial results. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its financial statements.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has short and long-term floating rate debt. If the floating rate were to change by 100 basis points from the March 28, 2008 level, annual interest expense associated with the floating rate debt would be affected by approximately $2.0 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S. Dollar/Euro, U.S. Dollar/British Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar and U.S. Dollar/Brazilian Real.
The Company is also subject to foreign exchange translation exposure as a result of its foreign operations. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the U.S. Dollar to the currencies noted above at March 28, 2008 would affect currency gain or loss by approximately $0.7 million.
Diesel Fuel Hedge
In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution to hedge approximately half of its notional diesel fuel requirements for the year as represented by the diesel fuel consumed by independent freight carriers delivering the Company’s products. These carriers charge the Company a basic rate per mile that is subject to a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases that they incur. The hedge agreement is designed to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel pricing and the resulting per mile surcharges payable by the Company by setting a fixed price per gallon for the year. Because this diesel hedge instrument does not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 (“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), the Company has marked the instrument to market at the end of the first quarter and will do so throughout the life of the agreement. The change in the market value of the hedge agreement was a $1.9 million gain and is reflected in cost of sales. The diesel fuel hedge agreement expires December 31, 2008.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

b. Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
