	Note D – Equity Interest Investments
	The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture, Stiga Sports AB (Stiga).  The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Stiga, located in Sweden, is a global sporting goods company producing table tennis equipment and game products  including winter sport equipment. Financial information for Stiga reflected in the table below has been translated from local currency to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the respective period-end for balance sheet amounts, and using average exchange rates for statement of operations amounts. Certain differences exist between U.S. GAAP and local GAAP in Sweden, and the impact of these differences is not reflected in the summarized information reflected in the table below.  The most significant difference relates to the accounting for goodwill for Stiga which is amortized over eight years in Sweden but is not amortized for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes.  The effect on Stiga’s net assets resulting from the amortization of goodwill for the periods ended October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012 are addbacks to Stiga’s consolidated financial information of $13.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively.  These net differences are comprised of cumulative goodwill adjustments of $18.2 million offset by the related cumulative tax effect of $5.2 million as of October 5, 2013 and cumulative goodwill adjustments of $15.2 million offset by the related cumulative tax effect of $4.3 million as of October 6, 2012. The statement of operations impact of these goodwill and tax adjustments and other individually insignificant U.S. GAAP adjustments for the periods ended October 5, 2013, and October 6, 2012 are to increase Stiga’s net income by approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company’s 50% portion of net income for Stiga for the periods ended October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012 was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and is included in other income on the Company’s statements of operations.
	In addition, Escalade has a 50% interest in two joint ventures, Escalade International, Ltd. in the United Kingdom, and Neoteric Industries Inc. in Taiwan.  Escalade International Ltd. was a sporting goods wholesaler, specializing in fitness equipment. During the second quarter of 2013, the decision was made to cease operations and liquidate Escalade International, Ltd. Losses incurred include shutdown costs. As a result, the Company’s 50% portion of net loss for Escalade International, Ltd. for the nine months ended October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012 was ($609) thousand and ($137) thousand respectively, and is included in other income (expense) on the Company’s statements of operations. The losses incurred during 2013 reduce to zero the Company’s investment in Escalade International, Ltd. The income and assets of Neoteric have no impact on the Company’s financial reporting. Additional information regarding these entities is considered immaterial and has not been included in the totals listed below.
	Summarized financial information for Stiga Sports AB balance sheets as of October 5, 2013, December 29, 2012, and October 6, 2012 and statements of operations for the periods ended October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012 is as follows:

	Note E – Notes Payable
	On August 27, 2013, the Company and each of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Credit Agreement”) with its issuing bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”), and the other lenders identified in the Restated Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lender”).  The Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the existing Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2009, as amended by the Amendments First through Tenth, between the Company and the Lender.
	Under the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement, the Lender has made available to the Company a senior revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of up to $22.0 million (“Revolving USD Facility”) and a term loan in the principal amount of $5.0 million (“Term Loan”). Escalade is required to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving USD Facility, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on August 27, 2016. Escalade may prepay the Revolving USD Facility, in whole or in part, and reborrow prior to the maturity date.  The Company is required to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on August 27, 2016. Beginning with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Company is required to make repayments of the principal balance of the Term Loan in equal installments of $250 thousand per calendar quarter, with interest accrued thereon. Principal amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.  In addition, the Euro overdraft facility has been reduced from €2.0 million to €1.0 million.    The credit facility and term debt are secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
	During the first quarter, the Company entered into a seller-financed agreement for the purchase of its formerly leased real estate in Mexico.  The agreement requires sixteen quarterly installments of $156 thousand each with a maturity date of November 30, 2016.  The outstanding principal balance as of October 5, 2013 was $1.8 million.

	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Time Deposits
	Fair values of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.
	Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
	Fair values of notes payable and long-term debt is estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model.
	The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall in accordance with FASB ASC 825 at October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012.

	Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the Martin Yale Group reporting unit, which comprises the Information Security and Print Finishing operating segment.  For purposes of the interim impairment testing in the third quarter of 2012, the fair value of the Martin Yale Group reporting unit was determined using a combination of two methods; one based on market earnings multiples of peer companies identified for the business unit (the market approach), and a discounted cash flow model with estimates of cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenues and expenses over a five year period plus a terminal value period (the income approach).
	To arrive at the Martin Yale Group reporting unit’s future cash flows, the Company uses estimates of economic and market information, including growth rates in revenues, costs, and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, tax rates, and cash expenditures.  Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements.  Under the income approach, the Company applied a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11.2% to the future cash flows from the Martin Yale Group reporting unit.  In addition to the earnings multiples and the discount rates disclosed above, certain other judgments and estimates are used to prepare the goodwill impairment test.
	The fair values of the intangible assets for the Martin Yale Group reporting unit were estimated considering estimated royalty savings, discounted cash flows and average attrition rates associated with these assets.
	As a result of the impairment tests performed, the goodwill of the Martin Yale Group reporting unit was written down to the implied fair value of zero from its carrying value of $13.2 million as of October 6, 2012.  The intangible assets of this reporting unit were written down to their estimated fair value of $1.7 million from their carrying value of $1.9 million as of October 6, 2012.  Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs and management judgment used in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment analyses, these measurements were classified in level three of the valuation hierarchy.
	Equity Method Investments
	For purposes of the impairment analysis of the equity method investment in Escalade International, Ltd, the Company considered the impact of attrition of certain significant customers on future cash flows of this entity as well as expectations regarding future divestiture of the investment.  At the end of the third quarter of 2012 the Company was negotiating to sell its investment to the remaining shareholders of Escalade International, Ltd.  Based on consideration of cash flows related to the potential divestiture, the Company determined that an other than temporary impairment in the amount of $0.4 million ($0.2 million, net of tax) was appropriate.  Consequently, the investment was written down to its estimated fair value of $0.5 million from its carrying value of $0.9 million as of October 6, 2012. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs and management judgment used in the equity method impairment analysis, this measurement was classified in level three of the valuation hierarchy.

	The fair value of stock-based compensation is recognized in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.
	During the nine months ended October 5, 2013 and pursuant to the 2007 Incentive Plan, in lieu of director fees, the Company awarded to certain directors 23,719 shares of common stock.  In addition, the Company awarded 37,500 stock options to directors and 120,000 stock options to employees.  The stock options awarded to directors vest at the end of one year and have an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant. Director stock options are subject to forfeiture, except for termination of services as a result of retirement, death or disability, if on the vesting date the director no longer holds a position with the Company. The 2013 stock options awarded to employees have a graded vesting of 25% per year over four years and are subject to forfeiture if on the vesting date the employee is no longer employed.  The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted.
	For the three months and nine months ended October 5, 2013, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $177 thousand and $578 thousand, respectively, compared to stock based compensation expense of $176 thousand and $582 thousand for the same periods in the prior year.   At October 5, 2013 and October 6, 2012, respectively, there was $0.9 million and $1.1 million in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards.

	Note L – New Accounting Standards
	With the exception of that discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended October 5, 2013, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications.  Other comprehensive income (loss) includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period.  Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.  The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.  The new amendments will require an organization to (i) present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and (ii) cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
