Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the Select Comfort (the Company) Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General – The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees. A full-time employee is eligible on the first day of the calendar month following 30 days of employment provided the employee is age 21 or older. A part-time employee is eligible after completing one year of at least 1,000 hours of service and is age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The inception date of the Plan was January 1, 1994.
Recordkeeper and Custodian – The Plan assets are in the custody of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential). Prudential is the recordkeeper, custodian and trustee of the Plan.
Contributions – Each year, participants may contribute a percentage of eligible earnings, as defined by the Plan. Participants can contribute up to 50% of eligible earnings. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the calendar year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Company contributions are determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Participant Accounts – Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution, and Plan earnings.
Vesting – Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s discretionary contribution to their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service. Participants are vested 25% upon the completion of one year, 50% after two years, 75% after three years, and fully vested after completion of four years of service, or if they have reached normal retirement age of 65, die, or become disabled.
Forfeitures – Forfeited non-vested accounts are used to either reduce Company contributions or to pay administrative expenses. The balances of forfeited non-vested accounts at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $68,240 and $224,811, respectively. Forfeitures of non-vested amounts were used to pay Plan expenses of $32,181 and $21,375 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, forfeitures of non-vested amounts reduced 2007 and 2006 Company contributions by $290,000 and $100,000, respectively.
Participant Loans – Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000, or 50% of their vested account balance. Loans are made on a pro-rata basis from all investment funds in which a participant’s account is invested. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus two percentage points for loans initiated from January 1, 2001 to November 8, 2002 or, plus one percentage point for loans initiated from November 9, 2002 to December 31, 2007. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions not less frequently than quarterly.
Investment Options – Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants may direct their contributions in 1% increments into any of the eleven investment funds, Company common stock or the Self-Directed Brokerage Account. Participants may modify their investment options daily.
The following descriptions summarize the investment philosophy of the various investment alternatives offered through Prudential as outlined in the fund literature:
Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund – Fixed-interest annuity backed by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company’s general account. Funds are invested primarily in private placement bonds, intermediate-term bonds, and commercial mortgages.
Julius Baer International Equity Fund – Funds are invested primarily in foreign stock markets seeking long-term growth of capital.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting – The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition – The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of participation units owned by the Plan in the pooled separate accounts are based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the Plan year. Select Comfort common stock is valued at the quoted market price on the last business day of the Plan year. Insurance contracts are reported at contract value, which approximates fair value, as determined by the issuer. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value. The mutual fund is valued at the quoted market price on the last business day of the Plan year.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Payment of Benefits – Benefit payments are recorded upon distribution.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of change in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and as such requires the use of judgment. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Risks and Uncertainties – The Plan provides for investment in the Company’s common stock, various participant investment options in funds and a self-directed brokerage option which enables participants to invest in any combination of investments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk and uncertainty, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of the investments will occur in the near term, and such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
Concentration of Market Risk – At December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately 5% and 15%, respectively, of the Plan’s net assets were invested in the common stock of the Company. The underlying value of the Company’s common stock is entirely dependent upon the performance of the Company and the market’s evaluation of such performance. It is at least reasonably possible that changes in the fair value of the Company’s common stock could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Impact of New Accounting Standards and Interpretations – In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Plan’s adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the statement of net assets available for benefits or statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures. SFAS No. 157 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in reporting fair values. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the statement of net assets available for benefits or statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

(3) PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated January 19, 2005 indicating that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“the IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provisions for income taxes have been made.
(5) GROUP ANNUITY INSURANCE CONTRACT
The Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund (“the Fund”) offers a full guarantee on principal and interest by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“the Issuer”), an affiliate of the trustee. As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (“FSP”), investment contracts held in a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under terms of the Plan.
The provisions of the FSP were effective for the Plan year ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements because contract value approximates fair value in all periods presented. As defined by the FSP, the Fund qualifies as a fully benefit-responsive investment contract because it meets all of the following criteria:
| a. | The investment contract is effected directly between the Fund and the Issuer and prohibits the Fund from assigning or selling the contract or its proceeds to another party without the consent of the Issuer. |
| b. | The contract Issuer is obligated to (i) repay principal and interest, or (ii) apply prospective crediting rate adjustments with an assurance the crediting rate will not be less than zero. |
| c. | The terms of the investment contract require all permitted participant-initiated transactions with the Fund to occur at contract value with no conditions, limits, or restrictions. Permitted participant-initiated transactions are those transactions allowed by the underlying defined-contribution plan, such as withdrawals for benefits, loans, or transfers to other funds within the Plan. |
| d. | An event that limits the ability of the Fund to transact at contract value with the Issuer (for example, premature termination of the contracts by the Fund, plant closings, plan termination, bankruptcy, mergers, and early retirement incentives) and that also limits the ability of the Fund to transact at contract value with the participants in the Fund must be probable of not occurring. |
| e. | The Fund itself must allow participants reasonable access to their funds. |
The interest crediting rate is determined semi-annually and during 2007 and 2006 resulted in an average annual yield earned and credited to participants of approximately 3.5% and 3.5%, respectively. The minimum crediting rate is 1.5%. The interest crediting rate is calculated based upon many factors, including current economic and market conditions, the general interest rate environment, and both the expected and actual experience of a reference portfolio within the Issuer’s general account.
There is no event that limits the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the Issuer. There are also no events and circumstances that would allow the Issuer to terminate the fully benefit-responsive group annuity insurance contract with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value.
The credit rating of the Issuer at December 31, 2007 was Aa3 as reported by Moody’s Investors Service.
