FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

 

1.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies and are incorporated by reference. We adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) on July 1, 2007 – See Note 7. Consistent with prior periods and upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel was incorporated in 1929 and is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of residential, recreational vehicle and commercial upholstered and wooden furniture products in the country. Product offerings include a wide variety of upholstered and wood furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs and bedroom furniture. The Company’s products are intended for use in home, office, motor home, travel trailer, yacht, health care and hotel applications. Featured as a basic component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique drop-in seat spring. The Company primarily distributes its products throughout the United States through the Company’s sales force to furniture dealers, department stores, recreational vehicle manufacturers, and hospitality and healthcare facilities. The Company’s products are also sold to several national and regional chains, some of which sell on a private label basis.

 

The Company has one active wholly-owned subsidiary, DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”), which is a Louisville, Kentucky-based, manufacturer, importer and marketer of residential and commercial office furniture with manufacturing plants and warehouses in Indiana and manufacturing sources in Asia. DMI’s divisions are WYNWOOD, Homestyles and DMI Commercial Office Furniture. The Company has two inactive wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Desert Dreams, Inc., which owned and leased a commercial building to an unrelated entity until the building was sold on June 15, 2007 and (2) Four Seasons, Inc.

 

2.

INVENTORIES – The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Raw steel, lumber and wood frame parts are valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. On a quarterly basis there is a specific calculation of the LIFO effect based on year to date amounts. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories valued on the LIFO method would have been approximately $3.7 million higher at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 if they had been valued on the FIFO method. A comparison of inventories is as follows (in millions):

Total

 

$

30.6

 

 

The Company has credit facilities of $50.1 million with banks, with borrowings at differing rates based on the date and type of financing utilized.

 

The credit agreement provides for a $41.0 million unsecured credit facility and provides the Company with flexibility between long-term and short-term financing. The short-term portion of the credit facility provides working capital financing up to $20.0 million, of which $8.0 million was outstanding at September 30, 2007, with interest selected at the option of the Company at prime (7.75% at September 30, 2007) or LIBOR (5.13% at September 30, 2007) plus 0.75%. The short-term portion also provides overnight credit when required for operations at prime minus 1.0%, of which $0.9 million was outstanding at September 30, 2007. The short-term line of credit expires June 30, 2008. The long-term portion of the credit facility provides up to $20.0 million, of which $20.0 million was outstanding at September 30, 2007, and expires September 30, 2012. Variable interest is set monthly at the option of the Company at prime or LIBOR plus 0.75%. The credit facility also provides $1.0 million to support letters of credit issued by the Company, of which none was outstanding at September 30, 2007. All interest rates are adjusted monthly, except for the overnight portion of the short-term line of credit, which varies daily at the prime rate minus 1.0%. On September 30, 2007, the Company had effectively fixed the interest rates at 4.5% on approximately $15.3 million of its long-term debt through the use of interest rate swaps.

 

The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that require the Company, among other things, to maintain an interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and limitations on capital disposals, all as defined in the credit agreement. At September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.

 

The Company financed the purchase of delivery equipment through a five-year fixed rate note at 4.99%. The note requires payments through December 2010. The delivery equipment purchased with the note proceeds secures the note.

 

An officer of the Company is a director at one of the banks where the Company maintains a $4.0 million line of credit, cumulative letter of credit facilities of $5.1 million and where its routine daily banking transactions are processed. The Company is contingently liable to insurance carriers under its comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability policies, as well as some workers’ compensation, and has provided letters of credit in the amount of $5.1 million. The Company receives no special services or pricing on the services performed by the bank due to the directorship of this officer. No amounts were outstanding on this line of credit at September 30, 2007.

4.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES – Related to its variable debt, the Company has interest rate swaps utilized to hedge against adverse changes in interest rates. The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps totaled $15.3 million with a weighted average fixed rate of 4.5% at September 30, 2007. The interest rate swaps are not utilized to take speculative positions. The Board of Directors established the Company’s policies with regard to activities involving derivative instruments. Management, along with the Board of Directors, periodically reviews those policies, along with the actual derivative related results. The Company recorded the fair market value of its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges on its balance sheet and has marked them to fair value through other comprehensive income. The cumulative fair value of the swaps was a liability of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2007 and an asset of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2007 and is reflected as other current liabilities and other assets, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2007, all of the derivatives used by the Company in its risk management are highly effective hedges because all of the critical terms of the derivative instruments match those of the hedged item.

 

5.

ACCRUED WARRANTY COSTS – The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – The Company has two stock-based compensation methods available when determining employee compensation.

 

(1) Management Incentive Plan – This plan provides for shares of common stock to be awarded to key employees based on targeted rate of earnings to common equity as established by the Board of Directors. Shares awarded to employees are subject to the restriction of continued employment, with one-third of the stock received by the employee on the award date and the remaining shares vested after one and two years. Under the plan no shares were awarded, granted or vested during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. As of September 30, 2007 there were no unvested shares outstanding. The Company expects forfeitures under this plan to be nominal and there were no shares forfeited in the three months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006. At September 30, 2007, 69,407 shares were available for future grants.

 

(2) Stock Option Plans – The stock option plans for key employees and directors provide for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options. Under the plans, options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant, and may be exercisable for up to 10 years. All options are exercisable when granted. The Company’s shareholders have approved all stock option plans. No options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and there are no unvested options, as all options are fully vested upon grant.

 

At September 30, 2007, 496,700 shares were available for future grants. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options. The Company does not expect to repurchase any shares during fiscal year 2008 related to stock option exercises. The Company accepts shares of the Company’s common stock as payment for the exercise price of options. These shares received as payment are retired upon receipt.

INCOME TAXES – 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. This includes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns to the extent pervasive evidence exists that they will be realized in future periods. The deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates by tax jurisdiction, based on currently enacted tax laws, which are expected to be in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In accordance with our income tax policy, significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits of $0.1 million, which is reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and is reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. At the adoption date of July 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $0.77 million of gross liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits (composed of $0.55 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties of $0.22 million) and related deferred tax assets of approximately $0.22 million. At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $0.80 million of gross liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits (composed of $0.58 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties of $0.22 million) and related deferred tax assets of approximately $0.23 million, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect that there will be any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

Consistent with prior periods and upon adoption of FIN 48 the Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of July 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007, we had approximately $0.2 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2003–2006 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s earliest open tax year in which an audit can be initiated by taxing authorities in its major operating jurisdictions, such as, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Washington, is 2004.

 

8.

LITIGATION – From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

9.

EARNINGS PER SHARE – Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common equivalent shares. Common equivalent shares represent the effect of stock options during each period presented, which if exercised, would dilute EPS. In computing EPS for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by:

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated statements.

 

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL:

 

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used for such items as collectability of trade accounts receivable, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, self-insurance programs, warranty costs and income taxes. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts – the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts through review of open accounts, and historical collection and allowances amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is intended to reduce trade accounts receivable to the amount that reasonably approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements based on collection experience and actual returns and allowances.

 

Inventories – the Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. A large portion of our finished goods inventory is made to order and many of our raw material parts are interchangeable between products. Historically inventory write-downs to market have been in fabric and sourced products purchased for inventory. On a quarterly basis, management assesses the inventory on hand versus estimated future usage and estimated selling prices and if necessary writes down the obsolete or excess inventory to market. Although, we believe that inventory valuations are reasonable, unexpected changes in sales volume due to economic or competitive conditions may impact inventory valuations. Raw steel, lumber and wood frame parts are valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Changes in the market conditions could require a write down of inventory.

 

Valuation of long-lived assets – the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. These evaluations could result in a change in estimated useful lives in future periods. There were no impairments taken during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006.

 

Self-insurance programs – the Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $150,000 per plan year, with a $1.0 million individual lifetime maximum. For workers’ compensation, the Company retains the first $350,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. The Company is contingently liable to insurance carriers under its comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability policies, as well as some workers’ compensation. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability of claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The actual claims experience could differ from the estimates made by the Company.

 

9




Warranty – the Company has warranty coverages with respect to the original purchases of our products that range from three months to lifetime. To estimate the warranty liability, the Company completes an analysis of the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred. This analysis includes consideration of: claim trends from historical levels to current and projected levels, changes in product performance, historical and expected claim lag periods, changes in sales levels and changes in product mix. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.

 

Income taxes – the Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. In the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management calculates income taxes. This includes estimating the Company’s current tax liability as well as assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. These assets and liabilities are analyzed regularly and management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. The impact of the adoption is discussed in note 7, income taxes.

 

Revenue recognition – is upon delivery of product to our customer. The Company’s ordering process creates persuasive evidence of the sale arrangement and the sales amount is determined. The delivery of the goods to its customer completes the earnings process. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006

 

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $100.9 million, comparable to the prior year quarter of $101.3 million. Residential net sales were $62.7 million, an increase of 2% from the prior year quarter net sales of $61.8 million. Recreational vehicle net sales were $15.7 million, compared to $15.9 million, a decrease of 1% from the prior year quarter. Commercial net sales were $22.5 million, compared to $23.6 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 5%. The decrease in commercial net sales is primarily due to a slowdown of orders for our hospitality products.

 

Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was 19.6% compared to 18.2% in the prior year quarter. The gross margin improvement is primarily due, in comparable parts, to the impact of changes in product mix and increased cost control.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million in comparison to the prior year quarter, representing 17.4% and 17.1% of net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Operating income for the current quarter was $2.2 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year quarter reflecting the aforementioned factors.

 

The effective income tax rate was 36.9% in the current and prior year fiscal quarters. The Company anticipates its effective income tax rate for the fiscal year to be approximately 37.0%. The primary difference between the federal statutory rate and the expected effective rate is the result of state taxes.

 

The above factors resulted in current quarter net income of $1.2 million or $0.18 per share, compared to the prior year quarter of $0.6 million or $0.09 per share.

 

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating Activities:

Working Capital (current assets less current liabilities) at September 30, 2007 was $100.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Significant changes in working capital from June 30, 2007 to September 30, 2007 included decreased accounts receivable of $8.7 million, increased inventory of $8.3 million and decreased accounts payable of $1.7 million. The decrease in receivables is related to timing of shipments to customers and the related payment terms. The increase in purchased finished goods inventory is due primarily to timing of inventory purchases to meet our forecasted customer requirements and new product introductions. The decrease in accounts payable is due to the timing of inventory purchases from suppliers, the related payment terms and the timing of payments. The Company expects that due to the nature of our operations that there will be continuing fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and cash flows from operations due to the following: we purchase inventory from overseas suppliers with long lead times and depending on the timing of the delivery of those orders inventory levels can be greatly impacted, we have various customers that purchase large quantities of inventory periodically and the timing of those purchases can significantly impact inventory levels, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings. As discussed below, the Company believes it has adequate financing arrangements and access to capital to absorb these fluctuations in operating cash flow. 

Investing Activities:

Capital expenditures were $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.2 million and $ 1.4 million for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company expects that capital expenditures will be approximately $2.5 million for the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year.

 

11




Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Short-term borrowings increased by $2.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the increase in inventory. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Short-term borrowings decreased by $2.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivable.

 

Management believes that the Company has adequate cash, cash equivalents, and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements for fiscal 2008. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, the ability to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and ensures that productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations are purchased as needed.

 

Outlook

 

Although industry-wide trends indicate a soft market environment for residential products, orders for the Company’s residential products have remained constant throughout the first fiscal quarter. The Company expects order levels to remain comparable to the prior year levels throughout fiscal year 2008. However, further industry-wide declines could result in lower order levels for the Company. Orders for recreational vehicle products continue to be down, and we expect this to continue through our third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, at which time we will be able to better evaluate the spring and summer selling season. Our orders for products into commercial hospitality applications slowed significantly in the first quarter of the 2008 fiscal year as compared to the relatively high levels experienced in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and we expect orders to be lower than the prior year period into the second half of fiscal year 2008. The Company anticipates continued modest increases in commercial office orders and shipments through the balance of fiscal year 2008.

 

The Company continues to explore cost control opportunities in all facets of its business. The Company believes it has the necessary inventories, product offerings and marketing strategies in place to take advantage of opportunities for expansion of market share in certain markets, such as commercial office and hospitality. The Company anticipates continuing its strategy of providing furniture from a wide selection of domestically manufactured and imported product lines.

 

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties and taxes on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U. S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs and decrease earnings.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets – Accounting rules require that long-lived assets be evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. We have substantial long-lived assets, consisting mainly of property, plant and equipment, which based upon such events or changes in circumstances, there could be a write-down of all or a portion of these assets and a corresponding reduction in our earnings and net worth. At September 30, 2007, no impairment of long-lived assets has been identified.

 

Foreign Currency Risk –During the three-months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have sales, purchases, or other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company is not exposed to material market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices.

 

Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2007, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $140,000, assuming no change in the volume or composition of debt. On September 30, 2007, the Company had effectively fixed the interest rates at 4.5% on approximately $15.3 million of its long-term debt through the use of interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2007, the cumulative fair value of the swaps is a liability of approximately $0.1 million and is included in other current liabilities.

 

12




Tariffs – The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs. Tariffs are a possibility on any imported or exported products.

 

Inflation – Increased operating costs are reflected in product or services pricing with any limitations on price increases determined by the marketplace. The impact of inflation on the Company has not been significant during the past three years because of the relatively low rates of inflation experienced in the United States. Raw material costs, labor costs and interest rates are important components of costs for the Company. Inflation or other pricing pressures could impact any or all of these components, with a possible adverse effect on our profitability, especially where increases in these costs exceed price increases on finished products. In recent years, the Company has faced strong inflationary and other pricing pressures with respect to steel, fuel and health care costs, which have been partially mitigated by pricing adjustments.

 

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

(a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of the date of such evaluation.

 

(b)   Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for the Purpose of “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to long-term goals or anticipated results of the Company, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders.

 

Statements, including those in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which are not historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made in this press release. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, foreign currency valuations, actions by governments including taxes and tariffs, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon, competition (both foreign and domestic), changes in interest rates, credit exposure with customers and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

 

We specifically decline to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
