NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The Company classified several operations as discontinued. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company ceased production in a Juarez, Mexico operation that manufactured wood rear projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands. The exit of production at the Juarez facility was part of a restructuring plan initiated in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, the operations and restructuring charges have now been classified as discontinued operations. As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, several other operations were classified as discontinued operations and subsequently sold, including a fixed-wall furniture systems operation, a forest products hardwood lumber operation and an operation that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage and residential furniture industries. All of this activity is applicable to the Furniture and Cabinets segment. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been restated to reflect the results of these operations as discontinued operations. See Note 7-Discontinued Operations of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these discontinued operations.
Goodwill
A summary of the goodwill by segment is as follows:
| December 31, | | June 30, |
| 2006 | | 2006 |
(Amounts in Thousands) |
| |
|
Furniture and Cabinets | $ 1,733 | | $ 1,733 |
Electronic Contract Assemblies | 1,651 | | 1,553 |
|
| |
|
Consolidated | $ 3,384 | | $ 3,286 |
|
| |
|
In the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, goodwill increased, in thousands, $98 during the six months ended December 31, 2006 resulting from $54 of adjustments to estimated severance reserves for the Bridgend, Wales, UK acquisition and $44 due to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
6
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
On April 3, 2006, the Company acquired the Bridgend, Wales, UK manufacturing operation of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited ("BDML") from BDML and its parent company, Bayer HealthCare LLC, a member of the worldwide group of companies headed by Bayer AG. Certain liabilities that meet the criteria for recognition under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, relating to involuntary terminations are not yet finalized. The purchase price allocation will not be complete until this additional information is finalized. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company included $1.5 million of involuntary terminations in the purchase price allocation all of which have been paid. The liability and purchase price allocation were adjusted $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 for additional severance costs. There were no adjustments to the liability and purchase price allocation in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. Plans relating to future involuntary terminations to be included in the purchase price allocation are expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Tooling
The Company capitalizes the cost of tooling which it owns or which it has a noncancelable right to use during a supply arrangement. As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, the Company had $3.2 million and $3.1 million of Company-owned tooling costs capitalized, and $1.0 million and $0.6 million of customer-owned tooling costs capitalized.
Effective Tax Rate
In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur. The Company is estimating that the annual effective tax rate from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 will be higher than in prior years partially due to a higher mix of income being generated by domestic operations which carry a higher effective tax rate than the Company's foreign operations.
New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company elected early adoption of SAB 108. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities (FSP AUG AIR-1). The staff position eliminates the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities. The adoption of the provisions in the staff position will be considered a change in accounting principle with retrospective application required as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, if practical. The staff position will be effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2008. The Company currently uses the accrue-in-advance method primarily to reserve for future aircraft maintenance activities required by Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The reversal of these accruals and adoption of an alternative method of expense recognition is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
7
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is only applicable to existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 will be effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2009, and must be applied prospectively except for certain derivative instruments that would be adjusted through the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The provisions of FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on Issue No. 06-3, How Sales Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of a company's accounting policy regarding presentation of taxes, including any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrently on a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. If taxes included in gross revenues are significant, a company should disclose the amount of such taxes for each period for which an income statement is presented. EITF 06-3 will become effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (FAS 155). FAS 155 permits the Company to elect to measure any hybrid financial instrument at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) if the hybrid instrument contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 155 will be effective for all instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2008. The adoption of FAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (FAS 154), which requires the direct effects of voluntary accounting principle changes to be retrospectively applied to prior periods' financial statements. FAS 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, but would apply in the unusual instance that a pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. FAS 154 maintains existing guidance with respect to accounting estimate changes and corrections of errors. FAS 154 was effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4. Segment Information
Management organizes the Company into segments based upon differences in products and services offered in each segment. The Furniture and Cabinets segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names. The Electronic Contract Assemblies segment provides engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of industries globally. This segment's focus is on electronic assemblies that have high durability requirements and are sold on a contract basis and produced to customers' specifications. The Electronic Contract Assemblies segment currently sells primarily to customers in the automotive, industrial controls and medical industries. Intersegment sales are insignificant.

Note 5. Guarantees, Product Warranties and Other Contingent Liabilities
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has guarantees issued which are contingent on the future performance of another entity. The guarantees consist of customer lease financing with recourse whereby the Company may become liable to a third-party leasing company if the customer defaults on its lease. At the inception of a guarantee, the Company recognizes a liability for obligations the Company may incur if specified triggering events or conditions occur. The liability is recorded at fair value which is estimated based on various factors including risk that the Company may have to perform under a guarantee, and ability to recover against payments made on a guarantee. The maximum potential liability and carrying amount recorded for these guarantees is immaterial to the Company's financial position.
Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors and insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of the Company's failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $13.5 million. The Company is not aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2006 with respect to the standby letters of credit. The Company also enters into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payment to vendors and from customers.
The Company estimates product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability in cases where specific warranty issues become known.

Note 6. Restructuring Expense
As a result of excess capacity in North America, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the production for select programs has been transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility ceased in the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The facility is classified as held for sale. The Company expects minimal future charges and estimates total pre-tax restructuring charges related to this plan to be approximately $1.0 million, consisting of $0.7 million of employee transition costs, acceleration of software amortization of $0.4 million, acceleration of plant, property and equipment depreciation of $0.1 million and other restructuring costs of $0.1 million partially offset by $0.3 million for gains on the sale of equipment net of other asset impairment.
As part of the Company's plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a restructuring plan which included consolidation of administrative, marketing and business development functions to better serve the segment's primary markets. To simplify and standardize business processes, a portion of the Company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is being redesigned during approximately the next 1.5 years and accelerated amortization costs will continue to be recognized during this period. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, capitalized software costs related to the ERP software that was not yet placed in service were abandoned and recognized as impaired. Restructuring charges related to ERP software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance and other consolidation costs are recorded on the Restructuring Expense line item of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The plan also included the sale of a forest products hardwood lumber business and a business unit which produced fixed-wall furniture systems. Losses on the sale of these business units are presented on the Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 7 - Discontinued Operations of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these discontinued operations. The Company estimates total pre-tax charges under the plan, when complete, to be approximately $17.2 million, including the pre-tax loss on the sale of business operations of $10.3 million which was recorded as discontinued operations, and restructuring charges for software impairment of $3.5 million, acceleration of software amortization of $2.2 million, employee severance costs of $0.5 million, and other restructuring costs of $0.7 million.
12
The Company accounts for restructuring cost in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company utilizes available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fiscal Year 2007 Restructuring Charges
As a result of the fiscal year 2006 restructuring plan, the Company recognized consolidated pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. Within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, which included restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for accelerated software amortization and $0.1 million and $0.1 million for employee transition and other costs. Within the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, the Company recognized minimal pre-tax restructuring charges in the three months ended December 31, 2006. In the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.1 million which included $0.3 million for employee transition costs and $0.1 million for accelerated software amortization which were partially offset by $0.3 million of gains on the sale of equipment net of other asset impairment. Within Unallocated Corporate, the Company recognized minimal pre-tax restructuring expense in the three and six months ended December 31, 2006.
Fiscal Year 2006 Restructuring Charges
As a result of the fiscal year 2006 restructuring plan, the Company recognized consolidated pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.3 million and $3.2 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, all within the Furniture and Cabinets segment. Included in the restructuring charge for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, was $0.2 million and $3.0 million for asset impairment and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for employee transition costs.

Note 7. Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of wood rear projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, which affected the Company's Juarez, Mexico operation. For some time, the market demand for wood rear PTV cabinets has been declining due to the market shift to plasma and LCD large-screen televisions, and the Company has been responding to this trend. In August 2004, the Company sold the building in Juarez and subsequently leased back a much smaller manufacturing footprint in the same facility to reduce excess capacity, and then during fiscal year 2006 the Company further consolidated its two Mexican wood rear PTV cabinet and stand operations into the one smaller Juarez facility. With the recent exit, the Company will no longer have continuing involvement with the production of PTV cabinets and stands. Production at the Juarez facility ceased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 and substantially all inventory has been sold. Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment are expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. The lease on the building expires in August 2009, and the Company is attempting to sub-lease its portion of the facility. In the quarter ended September 30, 2006, exit costs for this plan were included in the Restructuring Expense line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the financial results associated with the Juarez operation have been classified as a discontinued operation.
The Company currently estimates that the pre-tax charges related to exit activities at the Juarez facility will be approximately $5.0 million, consisting of approximately $1.8 million of property and equipment impairment and losses on sales, $1.4 million of transition and other employee costs, $0.9 million of lease exit costs and $0.9 million of other exit costs. As a result of this exit plan, the Company recognized within the Furniture and Cabinets segment pre-tax expenses of $0.6 million and $3.6 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, which included charges of $0.2 million and $1.8 million for property and equipment impairment and losses on sales, income of $0.2 million and charges of $0.9 million for transition and other employee costs, charges of $0.4 million and $0.4 million for lease exit costs and $0.2 million and $0.5 million of other exit costs. The Company utilizes available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. At June 30, 2006, liabilities related to this exit plan totaled $0.2 million of other exit costs. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the reserve for transition and other employee related costs increased $0.3 million, consisting of $0.9 million of charges to expense offset by $0.6 million of cash settlements, and the reserve for other exit costs increased $0.2 million, consisting of $0.9 million of charges to expense offset by $0.7 million of cash settlements. The reserve balance at December 31, 2006 was $0.7 million, consisting of $0.3 million for transition and other employee related costs and $0.4 million for other exit costs.
14
On September 15, 2005, in conjunction with its restructuring plan to sharpen its focus on primary markets within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, the Company approved plans to sell the operations of a forest products hardwood lumber business and a business which produced and sold fixed-wall furniture systems. Additionally on November 8, 2005, the Company approved a plan to exit a non-core business that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage and residential furniture industries.
On October 14, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the fixed-wall furniture systems business, which included primarily the sale of property and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and product rights. The purchase price totaled $1.2 million, of which $0.3 million was received at closing and $0.9 million was a note receivable, which has been collected. The sale resulted in a net loss of $1.4 million, which was recorded as a $1.3 million estimated impairment loss in discontinued operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and was subsequently increased by $0.1 million when the sale was completed. The loss on disposal of the fixed-wall furniture business included an after-tax goodwill impairment loss, in thousands, of $261 recognized in the Furniture and Cabinets segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The goodwill impairment loss was based upon the cessation of cash flows related to the fixed-wall furniture systems business. The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.
On November 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the forest products hardwood lumber business to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc., which included primarily the sale of property and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and timber assets. The president and owner of Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. is Barry L. Cook, who was formerly employed by the Company as a Vice President of Kimball International, Inc. and had responsibility for this hardwood lumber operation. The transaction prices were negotiated between the Company and Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. The Company also considered offers from other interested outside parties, but ultimately determined that it was in the Company's best interest financially to sell this operation to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. The purchase price totaled $25.5 million, of which $23.5 million was received at closing and $2.0 million is a note receivable. The terms of the note receivable require monthly payments of interest for a three-year period, with the principal coming due after the three-year period. The note is subordinate to the purchaser's bank loan. If the purchaser is not in compliance with bank loan covenants or does not maintain sufficient cash flows, the principal payment on the note receivable may be delayed beyond three years. The note may represent a concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains a provision for potential credit losses based on expected collectibility of the note, which the Company believes is adequate. The sale resulted in a net loss of $4.8 million, which was recorded as a $5.1 million estimated impairment loss in discontinued operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and was reduced by $0.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 when the sale was completed. The Company has no ongoing commitments resulting from the sales agreement. The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.
On January 20, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a non-core business that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage and residential furniture industries, which included primarily the sale of inventories and machinery and equipment. The purchase price totaled $0.6 million. The sale resulted in a net loss of $0.7 million, which was recorded as a $1.1 million estimated impairment loss in discontinued operations during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, and was decreased by $0.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 when the sale was completed. The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.
15
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations, and their operating results and losses on disposal are presented on the Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and all prior periods have been restated.

Note 9. Pending Reptron Electronics, Inc. Acquisition
On December 18, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Reptron Electronics, Inc. ("Reptron"), whereby upon the closing of the merger, Reptron will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The agreement was subsequently amended on February 5, 2007. Under the terms of the amended agreement, each share of common stock of Reptron, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, will convert into the right to receive cash in the amount of $0.75.
The transaction is subject to various closing conditions and is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2007. As part of the original agreement, at least 97% of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes due February 3, 2009 of Reptron were required to be tendered by the noteholders to Reptron as a condition to the closing, at a discounted price of 87.5 cents per dollar of par value. On February 5, 2007, the Company reduced the minimum principal amount of Senior Secured Notes that must be tendered as a condition to the merger from 97% to 84%. The completion of the merger is subject to various other conditions usual and customary for transactions of this type generally, including the approval of Reptron stockholders. The initial amount of funds necessary to complete the merger and the related transactions is anticipated to be approximately $44.8 million, which the Company expects to finance with available cash-on-hand. In addition, in connection with the merger the Company will assume the obligation for approximately $4.7 million in Senior Secured Notes that were not tendered which brings the total amount of the transaction to approximately $49.5 million.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Kimball International, Inc. provides a variety of products from its two business segments: the Furniture and Cabinets segment and the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment. The Furniture and Cabinets segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names. The Electronic Contract Assemblies segment provides engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of industries globally.
Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be most important to understanding its financial condition and operating performance:
- Globalization continues to reshape not only the industries in which the Company operates but also its key customers.
|
- Competitive pricing, especially for suppliers of electronic contract assemblies to customers in the automotive industry, continues to put pressure on the Company's operating margins. Within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, pricing remains competitive on select projects.
|
- Though the Company's efforts have resulted in improvements at various locations, the Company's results continue to be hindered by manufacturing inefficiencies at select operations.
|
- As reported in the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association's (BIFMA International) most recent domestic industry forecast issued in November, year-over-year quarterly growth in the office furniture industry waned in recent quarters, but strengthened industry growth is forecasted for calendar year 2007.
|
17
- The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new programs to replace departing customers or expiring programs occurs frequently and the new programs often carry lower margins. The success of the Company's Electronic Contract Assemblies segment is dependent on the successful replacement of such customers or programs. Such changes usually occur gradually over time as old programs phase out of production while newer programs ramp up.
|
- With the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 acquisitions, the Company's sales mix is shifting toward the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment. Since the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment operates at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture and Cabinets segment, consolidated gross profit is trending down when compared to pre-acquisition levels. The Electronic Contract Assemblies segment operates at lower selling, general and administrative (SG&A) cost as a percent of sales, which has the effect of improving the consolidated SG&A percentage.
|
- Softness in the U.S. automotive end market continues, and a portion of the electronic component parts produced by the Company are used in completed assemblies in vehicles produced by U.S. automotive manufacturers, some of which are currently in the midst of executing restructuring activities.
|
- In the future, the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment is expected to be impacted by a reduction in the pricing of select raw material which is purchased from a major customer, Bayer AG or affiliates. The selling price of the finished product back to that customer will likewise be reduced by an amount equal to the material price reduction. For the second half of fiscal year 2007, this pricing change is expected to reduce net sales and material cost by approximately $57 million. There will be no impact to gross profit dollars, but the gross profit percent of net sales measure is expected to increase 1-2% as a result of this pricing change. There will be zero impact to net income and net cash flows.
|
- Successful integration of the Company's acquisitions is critical to the Company's future performance.
|
- A successful start-up of the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment operation in China is critical for securing future customers for this newly constructed operation.
|
- The Company's net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, less short-term borrowings totaled $150 million at December 31, 2006. The Company continued to generate positive operating cash flow during the six months ended December 31, 2006.
|
- The increasingly competitive marketplace mandates that the Company continually re-evaluate its business models.
|
- The regulatory and business environment for U.S. public companies requires that the Company continually evaluate and enhance its practices in the areas of corporate governance and management practices.
|
- The Company's employees throughout its business operations are an integral part of the Company's ability to compete successfully, and the stability of its management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value.
|
18
To address these and other trends and events, the Company has taken, or continues to consider and take, the following actions:
- As end markets dictate, the Company is continually assessing excess capacity and developing plans to better utilize manufacturing operations, including shifting manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary.
|
- As part of a restructuring plan announced in September 2005, the business processes within the Furniture and Cabinets segment are being simplified and standardized and business functions are being consolidated. The Company expects to make additional expenditures before fully realizing the additional benefits.
|
- The manufacture of contract private label products has been substantially exited as the Company continues to further sharpen its focus on primary markets. As part of this planned exit, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company exited the production of wood rear projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands resulting in the closure of the Company's Juarez, Mexico manufacturing facility. In addition, as part of its previously announced plan to sharpen the focus of the Furniture and Cabinets segment to its primary markets, during fiscal year 2006, the Company sold a forest products hardwood lumber business unit and a business unit which produced and sold fixed-wall furniture systems. The Company also sold, during fiscal year 2006, an operation that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage and residential furniture industries.
|

Acquisitions
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company acquired the Bridgend, Wales, UK manufacturing operation of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited ("BDML") from BDML and its parent company, Bayer HealthCare LLC, a member of the worldwide group of companies headed by Bayer AG. This acquisition better positions the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment of the Company to capitalize on growth opportunities in the medical market. The workforce and its capabilities have added to the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment's package of value that is offered to its medical customers. Also during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company acquired a printed circuit board assembly operation in Longford, Ireland from Magna Donnelly Electronics Longford Limited. Both of these acquisitions emphasize the Company's strategic expansion of global capabilities and responsiveness in serving the Company's customers.
Restructuring
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the production for select programs has been transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility ceased in the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and the remaining facility is classified as held for sale. The plan included employee transition costs, asset impairment costs, accelerated software amortization costs and other exit costs. The decision to exit this facility was a result of excess capacity in North America.
As part of the Company's plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of administrative, marketing and business development functions to better serve the segment's primary markets. To simplify and standardize business processes, a portion of the Company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is being redesigned and expenses related to this plan include software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance and other consolidation costs. The ERP redesign efforts are expected to continue during approximately the next 1.5 years.
The restructuring plans are discussed in further detail in Note 6 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of PTV cabinets and stands within the Furniture and Cabinets segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company's Juarez, Mexico operation. For some time, the market demand for wood rear PTV cabinets has been declining due to the market shift to plasma and LCD large-screen televisions, and the Company has been responding to this trend. In August 2004, the Company sold the building in Juarez and subsequently leased back a much smaller manufacturing footprint in the same facility to reduce excess capacity. Thereafter during fiscal year 2006, the Company further consolidated its two Mexican wood rear PTV cabinet and stand operations into the one smaller Juarez facility. Production ceased at the Juarez facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 and substantially all inventory has been sold. Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment are expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. The lease on the building expires in August 2009, and the Company is attempting to sub-lease its portion of the facility. The Juarez facility was formerly part of a restructuring plan initiated in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, the operations and restructuring charges have now been classified as discontinued operations. All prior periods have been restated.
During fiscal year 2006, the Company sold a forest products hardwood lumber business unit, a business unit which produced and sold fixed-wall furniture systems, and an operation that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components. All three business units were part of the Furniture and Cabinets segment. The cessation of these non-core operations did not impact any of the remaining operations of the Company. The results of the above mentioned operations are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and all prior periods have been restated.
See Note 7 - Discontinued Operations of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the discontinued operations.

The following discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income statement activity of the discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of the accounting change related to employee stock compensation recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Financial Overview - Consolidated
Second quarter fiscal year 2007 consolidated net sales of $327.3 million increased $63.8 million or 24% compared to second quarter fiscal year 2006 net sales of $263.5 million. The second quarter fiscal year 2007 consolidated net sales included $81.5 million from acquisitions that were completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 in the Company's Electronic Contract Assemblies segment. Second quarter fiscal year 2007 consolidated income from continuing operations was $8.2 million, or $0.21 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs. Second quarter fiscal year 2006 consolidated income from continuing operations was $7.2 million, or $0.19 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs.
Net sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 of $637.0 million were up 22% from the same period of the prior year. The consolidated net sales for the first half of fiscal year 2007 included $145.3 million from the fiscal year 2006 fourth quarter acquisitions. Income from continuing operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 totaled $14.4 million, or $0.37 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs. Income from continuing operations for the year-to-date period ended December 31, 2005 totaled $9.5 million, or $0.25 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $1.9 million, or $0.05 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was 20.6% compared to 22.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The gross profit percent in the Furniture and Cabinets segment improved while the gross profit percent in the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment declined. The fiscal year 2006 fourth quarter acquisitions had the effect of lowering both the consolidated and Electronic Contract Assemblies segment gross profit percent of sales measure for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. With the fiscal year 2006 fourth quarter acquisitions, the Company's sales mix is shifting toward the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment which operates at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture and Cabinets segment, which in turn is causing a decrease in the consolidated gross profit trend. Fiscal year-to-date 2007 consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales also declined as compared to the prior fiscal year same period.
21
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 decreased as a percent of net sales, but increased in absolute dollars compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Excluding the acquisitions, consolidated second quarter fiscal year 2007 SG&A expenses would have increased as a percent of sales and in absolute dollars as both selling and administrative expenses increased. Increased investments for product marketing and promotion contributed to the higher current quarter SG&A expense. The prior year second quarter SG&A percent benefited from gains on the sale of an idled manufacturing facility and an administrative office building. SG&A expenses in the 2007 fiscal year-to-date period decreased as a percent of net sales, but increased in absolute dollars. Other income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 increased compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 in part due to higher interest and investment income.
The effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 increased from the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2005. The increase was related to a higher mix of income being generated by domestic operations in the current year, which carry a higher effective tax rate, coupled with the negative effect of losses generated by select foreign operations in the current year which have a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate increase was also due, in part, to a decrease in the tax benefit recorded year-to-date for the research and development credit, which was offset by an increase in tax benefit related to tax-exempt interest income.
Comparing the balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2006, the Company's inventory balance increased primarily due to increased in-transit raw materials due to a change in shipping method from air to sea and also considerable variation in a major customer's requested shipping schedule. Directly related to the increase of inventory, the Company's accounts payable balance as of December 31, 2006 also increased. The December 31, 2006 accrued expenses decreased from June 30, 2006 as a large portion of the accrued incentive compensation and accrued retirement expense were paid during the first half of fiscal year 2007.
Results of Operations by Segment - Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2005
Furniture and Cabinets Segment
The Furniture and Cabinets segment net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 of $163.2 million increased from second quarter fiscal year 2006 net sales of $158.9 million, as increased sales of branded furniture products more than offset the planned decreased sales of contract private label products. Six-month net sales for fiscal year 2007 increased 2% as increased sales of branded furniture products more than offset the planned decreased sales of contract private label products. At December 31, 2006, open orders for the Furniture and Cabinets segment declined 2% from open orders at December 31, 2005.
Second quarter fiscal year 2007 net sales of the Company's branded furniture products, which include office and hospitality furniture, totaled $159.4 million, a 9% increase from the second quarter fiscal year 2006 net sales of $146.6 million. The branded furniture products net sales increase was primarily due to increased volumes of hospitality furniture. Second quarter fiscal year 2007 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which the Company began selling since the previous year second quarter approximated $3.5 million. Fiscal year-to-date net sales of branded furniture products increased 7% on higher volumes of both office and hospitality furniture. Branded furniture products open orders at December 31, 2006 were 5% higher than open orders at December 31, 2005, as higher open orders of hospitality furniture more than offset lower open orders for office furniture.
Net sales of contract private label products declined 69% to $3.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to $12.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The net sales decrease within this product line was driven by the planned exit of contract private label furniture products as part of the previously announced restructuring plan. Fiscal 2007 year-to-date net sales of contract private label products declined 57% from the prior year same period. Minimal orders remain to be shipped in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.
22
The Furniture and Cabinets segment income from continuing operations was $6.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million, compared to income from continuing operations of $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, which included $0.2 million of after-tax restructuring charges. The fiscal year-over-year second quarter earnings improvement was driven by an improved gross profit percent in this segment. Manufacturing labor and productivity improvements, a sales mix shift away from the lower margin contract private label products, gains realized from changes in warehouse and distribution strategies, and lower workers compensation expense all favorably impacted the year-over-year gross profit percent comparison. SG&A costs in this segment increased in both absolute dollars and as a percent of net sales partially related to increased investments for product marketing and promotion. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, this segment recorded income from continuing operations of $12.2 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.3 million, an increase from the prior year comparable period income from continuing operations of $5.6 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $1.9 million. The fiscal 2006 year-to-date restructuring charges were related to the consolidation of administrative, marketing and business development functions within this segment.
See Note 6 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges.
Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, increased global competition, supply chain cost pressures and relationships with strategic customers and product distributors.
Electronic Contract Assemblies Segment
Second quarter fiscal year 2007 Electronic Contract Assemblies segment net sales of $164.1 million increased $59.5 million, or 57%, from second quarter fiscal year 2006 net sales of $104.6 million. The sales increase was driven by $81.5 million in net sales resulting from the fourth quarter fiscal year 2006 acquisitions. Increased electronic contract assembly sales to customers in the medical and industrial control industries more than offset decreased sales to customers in the automotive industry. At December 31, 2006, open orders for the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment increased 34% from open orders at December 31, 2005 due to the inclusion of open orders of the fiscal year 2006 acquisitions. Due to the contract nature of the Company's electronics business, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends. Net sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 of $322.6 million increased $110.0 million, or 52%, from the same period of fiscal year 2006. The fiscal year 2006 acquisitions contributed $145.3 million of net sales during the six-month period ended December 31, 2006. Increased current fiscal year-to-date sales to customers in the medical and industrial control industries more than offset decreased sales to customers in the automotive industry. On a year-to-date basis, sales to customers in the medical industry would have declined, excluding the acquisitions.
The Electronic Contract Assemblies segment second quarter fiscal year 2007 income from continuing operations totaled $0.4 million, which was a decrease from the prior fiscal year second quarter income from continuing operations of $1.1 million. This segment incurred minimal restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 and none in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The lower second quarter fiscal year 2007 sales excluding acquisitions as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 sales contributed to the lower income from continuing operations in this segment. Second quarter fiscal year 2007 gross profit was negatively impacted by a shift in the mix of sales among various programs to those with lower margins as several of the higher margin products have reached end of life. Results also continue to be hindered by operating inefficiencies at select manufacturing operations. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment incurred after-tax costs of $0.9 million related to its start-up of a manufacturing facility in China. The facility is complete and production lines are undergoing customer certification with actual production expected to begin later in fiscal year 2007. The acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 also had the effect of lowering this segment's gross profit and SG&A as a percent of sales and positively contributed to this segment's earnings for both the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2006. The effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 increased from the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 due to a higher mix of income being generated by domestic operations in the current year which carry a higher effective tax rate, coupled with the negative effect of losses generated by select foreign operations in the current year which have a lower effective tax rate. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, this segment recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million, a decline from income from continuing operations of $2.0 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005. This segment incurred after-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and none during the six months ended December 31, 2005.
23
Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to companies that are affiliates of Bayer AG and TRW Automotive, Inc. Sales to these two customers accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and Electronic Contract Assemblies segment net sales:
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended |
| December 31, | December 31, |
|
|
|
| 2006 | 2005 | 2006 | 2005 |
|
|
|
|
|
Bayer AG affiliated sales as a percent of consolidated net sales | 22% | 1% | 20% | 2% |
TRW sales as a percent of consolidated net sales | 6% | 14% | 7% | 14% |
Bayer AG affiliated sales as a percent of Electronic Contract Assemblies segment net sales | 44% | 2% | 40% | 4% |
TRW sales as a percent of Electronic Contract Assemblies segment net sales | 13% | 34% | 13% | 34% |
The reduced TRW Automotive, Inc. percentages of segment and consolidated net sales were a result of certain TRW Automotive, Inc. products reaching end of life in addition to the higher total net sales base resulting from the acquisitions which likewise drove the higher percentages of net sales to Bayer AG affiliates. The Company also continues to focus on diversification of the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment customer base. In January 2007, Bayer AG sold its diagnostics unit, which is a customer of the Company, to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company's net sales which were formerly to Bayer AG affiliates will be to Siemens AG in the future. Sales to Bayer AG affiliates will also be impacted in the future as a result of the Company's aforementioned selling price reduction to Bayer AG affiliates which will be offset by an equal reduction in the material cost.
The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program matures and becomes established. This segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the electronics subcontracting services market. New business awards for projects in the automotive industry are extremely competitive.
Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, increased globalization, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rapid technological changes, component availability, the contract nature of this industry, unexpected integration issues with acquisitions and the importance of sales to large customers. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments less short-term borrowings increased from $149 million at June 30, 2006 to $150 million at December 31, 2006.
Working capital at December 31, 2006 was $241 million compared to working capital of $231 million at June 30, 2006. The current ratio was 2.0 at both December 31 and June 30, 2006.
The Company's internal measure of Accounts Receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 43.0 and 45.1, respectively. The Company defines DSO as the average of monthly accounts and short-term notes receivable divided by one day's net sales. The Company's Production Days Supply on Hand (PDSOH) of inventory measure for the six months ended December 31, 2006 increased to 55.4 from 47.2 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 in part due to increased inventory levels associated with the acquisitions. In addition to the effect of the acquisitions, PDSOH also increased as the other operations of the Company had lower sales levels and thus lower daily cost of sales and stable average inventory. The Company defines PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by one day's cost of sales.
24
The Company does not disclose discontinued operations separately from continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. However, for clarity purposes, the Company does separately disclose the adjustment to net income for the gain or loss on disposal of discontinued operations in cash flows from operating activities.
Operating activities generated $29 million of cash flow in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 compared to $22 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2006. The Company reinvested $21 million into capital investments for the future, comprised primarily of manufacturing equipment, expenditures related to the new showroom in New York, expenditures related to the construction of an electronics facility in Nanjing, China for which the grand opening was held during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and long-haul tractors and trailers. Financing cash flow activities for the first half of fiscal year 2007 included $12 million in dividend payments, which remained flat with the first half of fiscal year 2006.
The Company's $75 million revolving credit facility allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $18.5 million of cash borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company utilized a Euro currency borrowing on the revolving credit facility in order to provide a natural currency hedge against Euro denominated intercompany notes between the US parent and the Euro functional currency subsidiaries acquired in fiscal year 2006. Also at December 31, 2006, the Company had $0.7 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under a separate foreign credit facility which is backed by the $75 million revolving credit facility. The Company issued an additional $13.1 million in letters of credit against the revolving credit facility, which reduced total availability to borrow to $42.7 million at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $23.1 million of short-term borrowings outstanding.
The $75 million revolving credit facility also provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $125 million at the Company's request, subject to participating banks' consent. The credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain debt covenants including debt-to-total capitalization, interest coverage ratio, minimum net worth, and other terms and conditions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2006.
The Company believes its principal sources of liquidity from available funds-on-hand, cash generated from operations and the availability of borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility will be sufficient in fiscal year 2007 and the foreseeable future for working capital needs, share repurchases, dividends and for funding investments in the Company's future, including potential acquisitions such as the pending Reptron Electronics, Inc. acquisition discussed below. The Company's primary source of funds is its ability to generate cash from operations to meet its liquidity obligations, which could be affected by factors such as a decline in demand for the Company's products, loss of key contract customers, the ability of the Company to generate profits, and other unforeseen circumstances. The Company's secondary source of funds is its revolving credit facility, which is contingent on complying with certain debt covenants. The Company does not expect the covenants to limit or restrict its ability to borrow on the facility in fiscal year 2007. The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position for the next 12 months. The Company does not expect the absence of cash flows from discontinued operations to have a material effect on future liquidity and capital resources.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, where factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Contractual Obligations
Compared to the contractual obligations disclosure in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, there have been no material changes to the aggregate contractual obligations of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.
25
Pending Reptron Electronics, Inc. Acquisition
As part of the Company's diversification plan for the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, on December 18, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Reptron Electronics, Inc. ("Reptron"), whereby upon the closing of the merger, Reptron will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The agreement was subsequently amended on February 5, 2007. The transaction is subject to various closing conditions and is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2007. As part of the original agreement, at least 97% of the Senior Secured Notes due February 3, 2009 of Reptron were required to be tendered by the noteholders to Reptron as a condition to the closing, at a discounted price of 87.5 cents per dollar of par value. On February 5, 2007, the Company reduced the minimum principal amount of Senior Secured Notes that must be tendered as a condition to the merger from 97% to 84%. The completion of the merger is subject to various other conditions usual and customary for transactions of this type, including the approval of Reptron stockholders. The initial amount of funds necessary to complete the merger and the related transactions is anticipated to be approximately $44.8 million, which the Company expects to finance with available cash-on-hand. In addition, in connection with the merger the Company will assume the obligation for approximately $4.7 million in Senior Secured Notes that were not tendered which brings the total amount of the transaction to approximately $49.5 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to guarantees which are contingent on the future performance of another entity. However, these arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. See Note 5 - Guarantees, Product Warranties and Other Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on guarantees. The Company does not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, where factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The Company's management overlays a fundamental philosophy of valuing its assets and liabilities in an appropriately conservative manner. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk transfer to the customer, which under the terms and conditions of the sale may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is delivered to the customer. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
- Allowance for sales returns - At the time revenue is recognized certain provisions may also be recorded, including returns and allowances, which involve estimates based on current discussions with applicable customers, historical experience with a particular customer and/or product, and other relevant factors. As such, these factors may change over time causing the provisions to be adjusted accordingly. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the reserve for returns and allowances was $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Over the past two years, the returns and allowances reserve has been approximately 2% of gross trade receivables.
- Allowance for doubtful accounts - Allowance for doubtful accounts is generally based on a percentage of aged accounts receivable, where the percentage increases as the accounts receivable become older. However, management judgment is utilized in the final determination of the allowance based on several factors including specific analysis of a customer's credit worthiness, changes in a customer's payment history, historical bad debt experience, and general economic and market trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 was $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and over the past two years, this reserve has trended between approximately 1% and 2% of gross trade accounts receivable.
26
Excess and obsolete inventory - Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 19% and 24% of consolidated inventories at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, including approximately 87% and 83% of the Furniture and Cabinets segment inventories at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued at lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market value. Inventories recorded on the Company's balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. In general, the Company purchases materials and finished goods for contract-based business from customer orders and projections, primarily in the case of long lead time items, and has a general philosophy to only purchase materials to the extent covered by a written commitment from its customers. However, there are times when inventory is purchased beyond customer commitments due to minimum lot sizes and inventory lead time requirements, or where component allocation or other procurement issues may exist. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating inventory obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes or cessation of product lines.
Self-insurance reserves - The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation and certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and actuarial analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the Company's accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $6.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, excluding immaterial amounts held in a voluntary employees' beneficiary association (VEBA) trust.
Income taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company provides a valuation allowance based on its best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management's assessment. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, the Company believes it has made adequate provision for income taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax periods are closed, the provision is adjusted accordingly.

[1] The share repurchases of Class B common stock were the result of employee stock option exercises paid by the certification of ownership of existing shares pursuant to the 1996 Stock Incentive Program under which these options were granted.
[2] The share repurchase program previously authorized by the Board of Directors was announced on August 5, 2004. The program allows for the repurchase of up to 2 million shares and will remain in effect until all shares authorized have been repurchased. The repurchases shown in the table were not pursuant to this program and therefore did not reduce the 2 million shares authorized for repurchase under the program.
