NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2009. The results of operations for the three-month period ended May 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of May 30, 2009 and February 28, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, the Company’s fiscal 2010. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 141R as of the beginning of fiscal 2010 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition as of May 30, 2009; however, future business combinations will be recorded and disclosed in accordance with this statement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). This standard requires all entities to report minority interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, and requires that transactions between entities and noncontrolling interests be treated as equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, the Company’s fiscal year 2010. The Company adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition as presented herein.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, (FSP FAS No. 157-2), that partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The Company adopted FSP FAS No. 157-2 on March 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 157-2 did not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (FSP FAS No. 157-4), which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS No. 157-4 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS No. 157-4 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2010. FSP FAS No. 157-4 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption, and, in periods after initial adoption, comparative disclosures are only required for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating FSP FAS No. 157-4 and does not expect it will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS No. 115-2). This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. FSP FAS No. 115-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2010. The Company is in the process of evaluating FSP FAS No. 115-2 and does not expect it will have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-1 (FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 also amend APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2010. The Company is in the process of evaluating FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 and does not expect it will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2010, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

The 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) provide for the issuance of 3,400,000 and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. Awards under these Plans, either in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards are also included in these Plans. Outstanding options issued to employees generally vest over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vest over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to non-employee directors vest at the end of six months. Outstanding options and SARs have a 10-year term. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards generally vest over a two, three or four-year period.

The 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under the plan, although vesting and exercises of options and vesting of nonvested share awards previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants.

On June 24, 2009, shareholders approved the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (2009 Incentive Plan) and the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan (2009 Director Plan). The 2009 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of 1,400,000 shares pursuant to awards of various forms of stock-based compensation to employees, and the 2009 Director Plan provides for the issuance of 150,000 shares pursuant to awards of various forms of stock-based compensation to non-employee directors. Upon adoption of these new plans, no new grants will be made under the 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, although vesting and exercise of options and SARs, and vesting of nonvested share awards previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants.

Total stock-based compensation expense included in the results of operations for the three months ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008, was $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. At May 30, 2009, there was $1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to SAR awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 18 months.

Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008, respectively.

Table of Contents

There were no options or SARs issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The weighted average fair value per option or SAR at the date of grant for those granted in fiscal 2009 was $7.63. The aggregate intrinsic value of these securities (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) exercised during the three months ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008 was $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants through the first three months of fiscal 2009.

 

     Three months ended
May 31, 2008

Dividend yield

   1.3%

Expected volatility

   41.9%

Risk-free interest rate

   3.2%

Expected lives

   4.5 years

The expected stock price volatility is based on historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Strip rate, whose term is consistent with the expected life of the Company’s stock options. The expected life, the average time an option grant is outstanding, and forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical experience.

The Amended and Restated 1987 Partnership Plan (the “Partnership Plan”), a plan designed to increase the ownership of Apogee stock by key employees, allowed participants selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to defer earned incentive compensation through the purchase of Apogee common stock. The purchased stock was then matched by an equal award of nonvested shares, which vested over a predetermined period. This program was eliminated for fiscal 2006 and beyond, although vesting of nonvested shares will still occur according to the vesting period of the grants made prior to fiscal 2006.

Executive Compensation Program

In fiscal 2006, the Company implemented an executive compensation program to provide for a greater portion of total compensation to be delivered to key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors through long-term incentives using performance shares, SARs and nonvested shares. Performance shares have been issued at the beginning of each fiscal year in the form of nonvested share awards. Starting in fiscal 2010, the Company issued performance shares in the form of nonvested share unit awards, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the vesting date. The number of shares or share units issued at grant is equal to the target number of performance shares and allows for the right to receive an additional number of shares based on meeting pre-determined Company performance goals.

In fiscal 2001, the Company and PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) combined their U.S. automotive replacement glass distribution businesses into a joint venture, PPG Auto Glass, LLC (PPG Auto Glass), of which the Company had a 34 percent interest. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, in connection with PPG’s sale of its automotive replacement glass businesses, Apogee exercised its right to sell its minority interest in the PPG Auto Glass joint venture, resulting in cash proceeds of $27.1 million and a pretax gain on sale of approximately $2.0 million.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of March 2, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below:

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, and consist primarily of money market funds. The cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy.

Short-term investments

The Company has marketable securities of $15.0 million as of May 30, 2009, consisting primarily of variable rate demand note (VRDN) securities and a U.S. Treasury Bill. The Company’s VRDN investments are of high credit quality and secured by direct-pay letters of credit from major financial institutions. These investments have variable rates tied to short-term interest rates. Interest rates are reset weekly and these VRDN securities can be tendered for sale upon notice (every seven days) to the trustee. Although the Company’s VRDN securities are issued and rated as long-term securities (with maturities ranging from 2025 through 2052), they are priced and traded as short-term instruments. The Company classifies these short-term investments as “available-for-sale” in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Instruments in Debt and Equity Securities. The VRDN securities are carried at fair market value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. The U.S. Treasury Bill is carried at fair market value and is classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy.

Marketable securities available for sale

The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism, insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. Prism’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at market value as prescribed by SFAS No. 115 and are reported as marketable securities available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, until the investments are sold or upon impairment. These investments are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

9. Long-Term Debt

The Company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in November 2011. No borrowings were outstanding as of May 30, 2009 or February 28, 2009. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at May 30, 2009 was $251.6 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $321.1 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain a debt-to-cash flow ratio of no more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily, with cash flow computed on a rolling 12-month basis. The Company’s ratio was 0.08 at May 30, 2009. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lender may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the credit facility. Long-term debt also includes $8.4 million of industrial development bonds at May 30, 2009 and February 28, 2009 that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2023.

Interest payments were $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three-month periods ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008, respectively. As a portion of the total interest expense related to funds borrowed to purchase major facilities, information systems and equipment installations, the Company capitalized a portion of the interest payments and will depreciate them over the lives of the related assets. Capitalized interest for the three months ended May 31, 2008 was $0.2 million, and no interest was capitalized during the three months ended May 30, 2009.

 

10. Employee Benefit Plans

Components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s Officers’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees’ Pension Plan (Tubelite Plan) for the three-month periods ended May 30, 2009 and May 31, 2008, were as follows:

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various U.S. state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2004. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Company through fiscal 2002. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for fiscal years 2004 through 2007.

The total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at May 30, 2009 and February 28, 2009 was approximately $16.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. There were no material adjustments to the recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended May 30, 2009. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is not expected to change materially during the next 12 months.

 

12. Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, the Company completed the sale of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of the Company’s detention/security business and its exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to these discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations, and a majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to discontinued operations is expected to be paid within the next three years. The majority of these liabilities relate to the international curtainwall operations, including bonds outstanding, of which the precise degree of liability related to these matters will not be known until they are settled within the U.K. courts. The reserve for discontinued operations also covers other liability issues, consisting of warranty issues relating to these and other international construction projects.

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s installation business, the Company is required to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At May 30, 2009, $167.0 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $434.6 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses.

Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when incurred. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At May 30, 2009, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial development bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of May 30, 2009 was approximately $10.1 million. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility. As of May 30, 2009, $8.9 million of letters of credit had been issued under the facility.

Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of May 30, 2009, these obligations totaled $4.2 million.

Non-compete agreements. The Company has entered into a number of non-compete and consulting agreements associated with current and former employees. As of May 30, 2009, future payments of $0.7 million were committed under such agreements.

Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s construction supply businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Highlights of First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2009

 

   

Consolidated net sales decreased $57.6 million, or 24.2 percent, for the first quarter ended May 30, 2009 compared to the prior-year period. The architectural glass and installation businesses were the primary drivers of the decrease as the overall commercial construction market declines have resulted in lower demand and project delays. These businesses were also impacted by the timing of project flow and cancellations experienced during the second half of last year.

 

   

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended May 30, 2009 increased to 22.9 percent from 20.5 percent in the prior-year period, an increase of 2.4 percentage points. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to improvements in the installation and window business margins as a result of project mix and execution in this business. Overall during the quarter, we managed costs and productivity to realize strong gross margins in this difficult environment.

 

   

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter increased as a percent of net sales to 16.4 percent from 13.5 percent in the prior-year period but were down $2.6 million. The decrease in spending relates to reduced long-term executive compensation expenses, primarily related to lower projected payouts of stock-based incentives on lower expected future-year results; lower sales and marketing expenses; and reduced salaries and employee-related expenses due to headcount reductions. The increase as a percent of sales was largely due to our inability to leverage expenses over a lower level of sales dollars.

 

   

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the prior-year period due to reduced debt levels.

 

   

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and in connection with PPG’s sale of its automotive replacement glass businesses, we executed our right to sell our minority interest in the PPG Auto Glass joint venture, and therefore we had no impact from the joint venture in the current-year quarter. During fiscal 2009, the joint venture was negatively impacted by soft conditions in the auto glass replacement market, resulting in a $0.4 million loss in the first quarter.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Architectural Products and Services (Architectural)

 

   

First-quarter net sales of $166.7 million decreased 24.5 percent from the prior-year period due to difficult market conditions with continued tight commercial real estate credit. The architectural glass and installation businesses both saw decreases in revenue year-over-year due to project delays, timing of project flow and cancellations experienced in the second half of last year.

 

   

Operating income of $10.8 million in the current quarter was down 27.5 percent from the prior-year period, while operating margins decreased 0.2 percentage points to 6.5 percent from 6.7 percent in the prior-year period. While operating income was down due to the lower sales levels, operating margins remained relatively consistent due to solid execution in the installation and window businesses on projects bid during stronger market conditions, along with productivity improvements and ongoing cost cutting measures at all businesses within the segment. These items were partially offset by the impact of lower volume, primarily in our architectural glass business, where we have a higher fixed-cost base.

 

   

Architectural backlog at May 30, 2009 decreased to $310.0 million from $491.0 million in the prior-year period, and was relatively flat compared to the $316.2 million reported at the end of fiscal 2009. Slow bid-to-award timing is impacting backlog, despite steady bidding activity. We expect approximately $253.6 million of this backlog to flow during the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)

 

   

First quarter revenues were $14.2 million, down 20.2 percent from the prior-year period. The decrease was due primarily to weak custom picture framing market conditions. However, we have continued to convert customers to our value-added picture framing products.

 

   

Operating income of $2.0 million in the quarter was down 39.4 percent from the prior-year period, and operating margins decreased to 14.0 percent from 18.4 percent in the prior-year period. The decrease in operating income and margins was due the impact of lower volume, which was partially offset by a strong mix of better value-added picture framing products as our efforts to convert this market continued.

Consolidated Backlog

 

   

At May 30, 2009, our consolidated backlog was $311.2 million, down 36.9 percent from the prior-year period and relatively flat compared to the $317.4 million reported at the end of fiscal 2009.

 

   

The backlog of the Architectural segment represented more than 99 percent of consolidated backlog.

 

   

We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator, of the ultimate profitability of our sales, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, we completed the sale of our large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of our detention/security business and the exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to these discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and a majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to discontinued operations is expected to be paid within the next three years. The majority of these liabilities relate to the international curtainwall operations, including bonds outstanding, of which the precise degree of liability related to these matters will not be known until they are settled within the U.K. courts. The reserve for discontinued operations also covers other liability issues, consisting of warranty issues relating to these and other international construction projects.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $4.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2010, compared to $5.0 million in the prior-year period, on lower earnings. We experience seasonally high cash outflow from operations in the first quarter as a result of payments made to fund annual incentive compensation and retirement plan contributions, which impacted both fiscal 2010 and 2009 operating cash flows.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term investments, less current liabilities) was $53.1 million at May 30, 2009 or 6.1 percent of last 12-month sales, our key metric. This compares to 4.8 percent at February 28, 2009 and 9.2 percent at May 31, 2008. The deterioration from year-end was due to the seasonally high cash outflow mentioned above and the current market conditions, which we believe will continue to negatively impact this metric. The improvement over the prior-year period is largely the result of initiatives to expedite billings and collections.

Investing Activities. Through the first quarter of fiscal 2010, investing activities used $0.8 million of cash, compared to $23.3 million in the same period last year. New capital investments through the first three months of fiscal 2010 totaled $2.3 million, compared to $23.3 million in the prior-year period. Prior-year spending was primarily for productivity improvements and capacity expansions in both operating segments.

We expect fiscal 2010 capital expenditures to be less than $20 million for productivity and new green products, maintenance and safety expenditures. We believe our factories are modern and have excess capacity given current market conditions; accordingly we are also focusing on productivity improvements and product enhancements, including “green” product offerings, with minimal use of capital.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings remained consistent at $8.4 million as of May 30, 2009, compared to the February 28, 2009 levels, and consisted solely of industrial development bonds. Total outstanding borrowings at May 31, 2008 were $73.4 million. Through cash generated from operations and the sale of our interest in PPG Auto Glass, we have reduced the amount of debt outstanding. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 2.5 percent at May 30, 2009, compared to 2.6 percent at February 28, 2009.

We did not pay any dividends during the first quarter of either fiscal 2010 or 2009. This was due to the timing of quarterly dividend payments whereby, although declared, no payments were made in either quarter. We expect to continue to make quarterly dividend payments and spend approximately $9.1 million on dividends for the year.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. We repurchased 535,324 shares in the open market under this program, for a total of $7.2 million, through February 25, 2006. No share repurchases were made under this plan during fiscal 2007. We repurchased 338,569 shares in the open market during fiscal 2008 for $5.4 million. During fiscal 2009, we repurchased 1,130,230

shares in the open market for $14.6 million under the program. There have been no share repurchases during the first three months of fiscal 2010. Therefore, we have purchased a total of 2,004,123 shares, at a total cost of $27.3 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,245,877 shares under this program, which has no expiration date, although we do not expect to repurchase any shares during the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Other Financing Activities. The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations that impact our liquidity as of May 30, 2009:

We maintain a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in November 2011. No borrowings were outstanding as of May 30, 2009. The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at May 30, 2009 was $251.6 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $321.1 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain a debt-to-cash flow ratio of no more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily, with cash flow computed on a rolling 12-month basis. Our ratio was 0.08 at May 30, 2009. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lender may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the credit facility. Long-term debt also includes $8.4 million of industrial development bonds that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2023.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of May 30, 2009, these obligations totaled $4.2 million.

The other obligations relate to non-compete and consulting agreements with current and former employees.

We expect to make contributions of $0.5 million to our defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2010. The fiscal 2010 expected contributions will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of May 30, 2009, we had $16.1 million and $2.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts will ultimately be settled.

At May 30, 2009, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial development bonds. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at May 30, 2009:

 

     Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Fiscal Period

Standby letters of credit

   $ 1,476    $    $    $    $    $ 8,653    $ 10,129

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial development bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At May 30, 2009, $167.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $434.6 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

We self-insure our third-party product liability coverages. As a result, a material construction project rework event would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

For fiscal 2010, we believe that current cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility should be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments.

Outlook

We are facing an unprecedented level of uncertainty in fiscal 2010. The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2010 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

 

   

Overall revenues for the year will be down at least 15 percent compared to fiscal 2009.

 

   

Operating margins are expected to be in the mid-single digits.

 

   

Full-year capital expenditures are projected to be less than $20 million.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

  a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  b) Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s construction supply businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company has also been subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
