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 26, 2011. The results of operations for the three-month period ended May 28, 2011, 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 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010.

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.

The results of GlassecViracon are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events at GlassecViracon which would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the three months ended May 28, 2011.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 28, 2011, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended U.S. GAAP with respect to disclosures about fair value measurements. The amendments add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The amendments were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the additional disclosures required for Level 3 fair value measurements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 had no impact on the Company’s fair value disclosures (see Note 6).

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2012 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

The 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, the 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) provide for the issuance of 1,888,000; 250,000; 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 vested over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vested over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to non-employee directors vested 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 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in June 2009 and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under either of these plans, although exercises of SARs

and options, 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 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010, was $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended May 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010, respectively.

There were no options or SARs issued in the first three months of fiscal 2012 or 2011. 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 was minimal during the three months ended May 28, 2011 and was $0.1 million during the three months ended May 29, 2010.

The following table summarizes the award transactions under the Plans for the three months ended May 28, 2011:

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, or fewer, shares based on meeting pre-determined Company three-year performance goals.

The following table summarizes the nonvested share award transactions, including performance shares and performance share units, under the Plans for the three months ended May 28, 2011:

 

     Nonvested Share Awards  
     Number of
Shares

  (1) Includes 117,765 performance share units granted for the fiscal 2012-2014 performance period at target levels.
  (2) Includes a total of 452,314 performance share units granted and outstanding at target level for fiscal 2010-2012, 2011-2013 and 2012-2014.

At May 28, 2011, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share and performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 23 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the current period was $2.2 million.

6. Financial Assets

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. 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’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Marketable securities available for sale

The Company has $15.0 million of marketable securities available for sale, $13.4 million of which are held by the Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism). 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. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value 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.

Restricted investments

The Company has $24.5 million of current restricted investments consisting of money market funds that were required to be made available to cover our exposure for letters of credit outside of our revolving credit facility and credit-card programs. The Company has $10.7 million of long-term restricted investments consisting of money market funds, which are short-term in nature but are restricted for future investment in the Company’s architectural glass fabrication facility in Utah, and are therefore classified as long-term. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximates stated cost.

Other investments

The Company has $1.0 million of investments in mutual funds with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the Company’s deferred compensation plan. The mutual fund investments are held at fair value, based on quoted market prices.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investments available for sale at May 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011, are as follows:

The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and has considered the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

The following table presents the length of time that available-for-sale securities were in continuous unrealized loss positions, but were not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, as of May 28, 2011:

8. Long-Term Debt

The Company maintains an $80.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2014. No borrowings were outstanding as of May 28, 2011 or February 26, 2011. 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 28, 2011 was $267.1 million,

 

11


whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $323.4 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.00 at May 28, 2011. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 28, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

Long-term debt at May 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011, consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $8.4 million of industrial development bonds, and other debt assumed as part of the Glassec acquisition. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2036, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2012 through 2021.

Interest payments were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended May 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010, respectively.

 

9. 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 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010, were as follows:

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer compensation and assist in saving for retirement and other short-term needs. The deferred compensation liability was $2.4 million at May 28, 2011 and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred compensation plan has historically been unfunded. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $1.4 million and mutual funds of $1.0 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

10. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Brazil and various U.S. state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2008 or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into an administrative appeals agreement with the IRS to conclude the federal audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2007. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2007, and there is currently very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions and Brazil.

The total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at May 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011, was approximately $11.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits was due to reducing liabilities upon entering into the agreement for fiscal years 2004 through 2007 noted above. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $2.1 million during the next 12 months due to the lapsing of statutes.

 

11. 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. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company paid $3.0 million for resolution of an outstanding legal claim related to a foreign discontinued operation, which was fully reserved in discontinued operations at the end of

 

12


fiscal 2011. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that the Company expects will be resolved over the next five years.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of equipment for a sale price of $10.3 million. Under the sale and leaseback agreement, the Company has an option to purchase the equipment at projected future fair market value upon expiration of the lease, which occurs in fiscal 2018. The lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company has a deferred gain of $6.6 million under this sale and leaseback transaction, which is included in the balance sheet caption as other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities. The average annual lease payment over the life of the remaining lease is $1.6 million.

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 28, 2011, $115.0 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $337.8 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 and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. 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 28, 2011, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of May 28, 2011, was approximately $23.0 million. The Company’s total availability under its $80.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility. As of May 28, 2011, none of the existing letters of credit had been issued under the credit facility.

Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of May 28, 2011, these obligations totaled $11.0 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 28, 2011, future payments of $1.5 million were committed under such agreements.

 

13


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 2012 Compared to First-Quarter Fiscal 2011

 

   

Consolidated net sales increased $10.3 million, or 7.2 percent, for the first quarter ended May 28, 2011, compared to the prior-year period. The primary increase in the quarter was due to the addition of the GlassecViracon business, which accounted for 5.0 percentage points of the increase. We also grew the window and storefront businesses and had increased volume in our picture framing business, more than offsetting declines in glass fabrication exports.

 

   

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended May 28, 2011, increased to 15.4 percent from 13.2 percent in the prior-year period, an increase of 2.2 percentage points. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to the margin impact from revenue growth in the window and storefront businesses, and a strong mix of value-added products in our picture framing business, partially offset by lower margin work in the installation business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter increased by $2.1 million, and remained relatively flat as a percent of net sales at 17.6 percent compared to 17.5 percent in the prior-year period. The $2.1 million increase in spending primarily relates to the impact of the addition of the GlassecViracon business. Increased commissions and advertising expenses as a result of increasing sales and backlog also contributed to the increase in spending.

Segment Analysis

NM = not meaningful

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 $135.3 million increased 7.1 percent over the prior-year period, primarily due to the addition of GlassecViracon, as well as increased revenues in the window and storefront businesses as a result of growth in market share, which more than offset declines in glass fabrication exports.

 

   

Operating loss was $7.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $8.6 million in the prior-year period. The lower operating loss in the current year as compared to the prior year was due to the margin impact of revenue growth in the window and storefront businesses, offset by lower margin work in the installation business. The quarter loss was driven by low pricing on architectural glass fabrication projects bid at the bottom of the commercial construction cycle as well as low architectural glass capacity utilization.

 

   

Architectural backlog at May 28, 2011 increased to $247.0 million from $214.9 million in the prior-year period and from $237.2 million reported at the end of fiscal 2011. Bidding activity has remained solid; however, bid-to-award and contract timing continues to be slow. We expect approximately $175 million of the May 28, 2011, backlog to flow during the remainder of fiscal 2012.

Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)

 

   

First quarter revenues were $18.1 million, up 8.3 percent over the prior-year period. The increase was due to higher volume and mix of value-added picture framing products.

 

   

Operating income of $4.6 million in the quarter was up 37.9 percent over the prior-year period, and operating margins increased to 25.7 percent from 20.2 percent in the prior-year period. The increase in operating income and margins was due to the continuing improvement of overall mix of value-added products, increased volume and strong operating performance.

Consolidated Backlog

 

   

At May 28, 2011, our consolidated backlog was $248.4 million, up 14.6 percent over the prior-year period and up 4.2 percent compared to the $238.4 million reported at the end of fiscal 2011.

 

   

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 our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

 

16


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. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid $3.0 million for resolution of an outstanding legal claim related to a foreign discontinued operation, which was fully reserved in discontinued operations at the end of fiscal 2011. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that we expect to be resolved over the next five years.

Operating activities. Cash used by operating activities of continuing operations was $20.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2012, compared to $30.3 million in the prior-year period. We experience seasonally high cash outflow from operations in the first quarter as a result of payments made to fund annual incentive compensation, retirement plan contributions and annual insurance premiums which impacted both fiscal 2012 and 2011 operating cash flows.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash, short-term investments and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities), our key metric for measuring working capital efficiency, was $63.3 million at May 28, 2011, or 10.7 percent of last 12-month sales. This compares to 6.8 percent at February 26, 2011 and 7.0 percent at May 29, 2010. The change from year-end and the prior-year period was due to the seasonally high cash outflow mentioned above as well as working capital outflows for current quarter and future growth. As indicated in our Form 10-K for the year ended February 26, 2011, we expected this metric to be negatively impacted during fiscal 2012 as the U.S. commercial construction market improves, requiring more working capital to support increasing business activities.

Investing Activities. Through the first three months of fiscal 2012, investing activities provided $10.5 million of cash, compared to cash used of $15.5 million in the same period last year. The current quarter included $10.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of equipment. New capital investments through the first three months of fiscal 2012 totaled $1.6 million, down slightly from $2.1 million in the prior-year period. Both current and prior-year spending were primarily for safety and maintenance project expenditures, as well as productivity improvements. The prior year included purchases of restricted investments of $11.8 million related to the funds received as a result of the recovery zone facility bonds that were made available for future investment in our architectural glass fabrication facility in Utah. The net position of our investments for the three-month period resulted in $2.6 million in net sale proceeds as we sold investments to fund current operating activities, versus $1.7 million in net purchases in the prior year.

We expect fiscal 2012 capital expenditures to be less than $20 million, primarily for maintenance and safety related spend.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $1.4 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for our deferred compensation plan.

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 at May 28, 2011, were $22.3 million compared to $22.4 million as of February 26, 2011 and $20.4 million as of May 29, 2010. Long-term debt at May 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011, consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $8.4 million of industrial development bonds, and other debt assumed as part of the Glassec acquisition. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in

 

17


fiscal years 2021 through 2036 and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2012 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 6.4 percent at both May 28, 2011 and February 26, 2011.

We maintain an $80.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2014. No borrowings were outstanding as of May 28, 2011 or February 26, 2011. 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 28, 2011 was $267.1 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $323.4 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, we reduce non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments in excess of $15 million. Our ratio was 0.00 at May 28, 2011. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 28, 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

We did not pay any dividends during the first quarter of either fiscal 2012 or 2011. This was due to the timing of quarterly dividend payments; although declared, no payments were made in either quarter.

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. There were no share repurchases during the first three months of fiscal 2012 or during fiscal 2011. 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.

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 28, 2011, these obligations totaled $11.0 million.

The other obligations in the table above 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 2012, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of May 28, 2011, we had $11.8 million and $2.0 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.

 

18


At May 28, 2011, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The Company’s $8.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $8.7 million of letters of credit. The $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds are supported by $12.3 million of letters of credit. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at May 28, 2011:

Standby letters of credit

   $ 20,982       $       $       $       $       $ 2,000       $ 22,982   

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial development and recovery zone facility 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 28, 2011, $115.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $337.8 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 2012, we believe that current cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and unrestricted short-term investments of $18.6 million at May 28, 2011 and $80.0 million of available capacity under our revolving credit facility. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to work through the ongoing weak market conditions and to focus on our growth strategy for the recovery.

Outlook

Although we continue to face an unprecedented level of uncertainty in our Architectural segment market, we believe we are at the bottom of the commercial construction cycle. The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2012 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

 

   

Overall revenues for the year are expected to increase by at least 10 percent.

 

   

We anticipate being slightly profitable for the year.

 

   

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

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure with respect to our related party transactions set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure of our critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2011.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

No material changes have occurred to the disclosures of quantitative and qualitative market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2011.

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

 

19


  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 28, 2011, 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 results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2011.
