CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 28, 2009 AND JUNE 29, 2008
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Crafts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 28, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period presented. Such adjustments include normal, recurring accruals, as well as the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 28, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2010. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2009.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented on the consolidated statements of income and cash flows. Significant estimates are made with respect to the allowances related to accounts receivable for customer deductions for returns, allowances and disputes. The Company has a certain amount of discontinued finished goods which necessitate the establishment of inventory reserves that are highly subjective. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
   
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable — For those short-term instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
   
Long-term debt — The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value because interest rates under the Company’s borrowings are variable, based on prevailing market rates.
Provisions for Income Taxes: The provisions for income taxes include all currently payable federal, state and local taxes that are based upon the Company’s taxable income and the change during the fiscal year in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company provides for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Beginning with the Company’s adoption on April 2, 2007 of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 (“FIN 48”), the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Based on its recent evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Tax years still open to federal or state general examination or other adjustment as of June 28, 2009 include tax years ended April 2, 2006, April 1, 2007, March 30, 2008 and March 29, 2009, as well as the tax year ended April 3, 2005 for several states. The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Segment and Related Information: The Company operates primarily in one principal segment, infant and toddler products. These products consist of infant and toddler bedding, infant bibs and related soft goods.
Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for estimated returns and allowances in the consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances are netted against sales in reporting the results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are included in net sales.
Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company’s allowances against accounts receivable are primarily contractually agreed-upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Funding of the majority of the Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis.
The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of agreed upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. Consistent with the guidance provided in Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products) (“EITF 01-9”), by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB, all such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities. When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments.
The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to appropriate levels. The timing of the customer initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have no impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity.
The Company factors the majority of its receivables with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of CIT Group, Inc. (“CIT”), pursuant to a factoring agreement. In the event a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to credit worthiness, CIT bears the risk of loss. The Company’s management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of its non-factored accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in its customers’ payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable at June 28, 2009 totaled $13.5 million, net of allowances of $1.4 million. Of this amount, $12.3 million is due from CIT under the factoring agreement, which represents the maximum amount of loss that the Company could incur if CIT failed completely to perform according to the terms of the factoring agreement.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are three to seven and one-half years for machinery and equipment, five years for data processing equipment and eight years for furniture and fixtures. The cost of improvements to leased premises is amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the improvement or the term of the lease.
Valuation of Long-lived and Identifiable Intangible Assets: The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value, less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal, and are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets.
Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalty amounts are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers. Total royalty expenses, net of royalty income, included in cost of sales amounted to $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively.
Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the consolidated statements of income for all entities with complex capital structures. Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted weighted average shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of all options would be used to repurchase common shares at market value. The number of shares remaining after the exercise proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the options.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for a reporting entity to measure fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Upon adoption, SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact the Company’s 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”). This statement provides companies an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, on March 31, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159. Upon adoption, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any items within the scope of SFAS No. 159; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to 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, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited.

Table of Contents

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement also requires the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, which is intended to provide guidance to readers of the Company’s financial statements that the Company has not evaluated subsequent events after that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 165 and has made the disclosures of subsequent events pursuant to the statement.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 168”), which is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification will become the authoritative source for nongovernmental U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB. The statement also provides that rules and interpretive releases of the SEC are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Once effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting standards, and the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of SFAS’s, FASB Staff Positions, or EITF Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which the FASB will not consider as authoritative in their own right, but will serve only to update the Codification, to provide background information and to provide the basis for conclusion on the change in the Codification.
Note 2 — Temporary Investments — Restricted
At June 28, 2009, the Company’s restricted temporary investments consisted of a certificate of deposit in the amount of $500,000 with a maturity date of April 9, 2010. The certificate of deposit was obtained in connection with the issuance on behalf of the Company of a standby letter of credit in favor of Disney Enterprises, Inc. (“Disney”) to guarantee the payment of the Company’s royalty obligations with Disney. The certificate of deposit has been assigned as collateral against an unfunded note payable, which would be funded in the event of a draw by Disney of all or a portion of the standby letter of credit.
Note 3 — Stock-based Compensation
The Company has two incentive stock plans, the 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) and the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The Company granted non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors from the 1995 Plan through the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006. In conjunction with the approval of the 2006 Plan by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting in August 2006, options may no longer be issued from the 1995 Plan.
The 2006 Plan is intended to attract and retain directors, officers and employees of the Company and to motivate these persons to achieve performance objectives related to the Company’s overall goal of increasing stockholder value. The principal reason for adopting the 2006 Plan is to ensure that the Company has a mechanism for long-term, equity-based incentive compensation to directors, officers and employees. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan may be in the form of qualified or non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive compensation units consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination thereof within the limitations set forth in the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, which selects eligible employees and non-employee directors to participate in the 2006 Plan and determines the type, amount and duration of individual awards.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock options under SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), consistent with the method previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. The Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method permitted by SFAS No. 123(R). Under the modified prospective transition method, SFAS No. 123(R) applies to stock options granted on or after April 3, 2006 as well as the unvested portion of stock options that were outstanding as of April 2, 2006, including those that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense recognized during the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007 included compensation for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, April 2, 2006 in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R).
The Company recorded $178,000 and $165,000 of share-based compensation expense during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively. No share-based compensation costs have been capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of June 28, 2009.

Non-vested Stock: The fair value of non-vested stock granted is determined based on the number of shares granted multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. All non-vested stock granted under the 2006 Plan vests based upon continued service.
During the quarter ended October 1, 2006, the Company granted 375,000 shares of non-vested stock to certain employees with a fair value of $3.15 as of the date of the stock grants. These shares have four-year cliff vesting. The Company recognized $74,000 of compensation expense related to these non-vested stock grants during each of the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively, which was included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
During the quarter ended September 28, 2008, the Company granted 30,000 shares of non-vested stock to its non-employee directors with a fair value of $3.87 as of the date of the stock grants. These shares vest over a two-year period. The Company recognized $14,000 of compensation expense related to these non-vested stock grants during the three-month period ended June 28, 2009, which was included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
At June 28, 2009, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants amounted to $407,000. The amount of compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants to be recognized in future periods will be affected by any future non-vested stock grants and by the separation from the Company of any individual who has received non-vested stock grants that are unvested as of such individual’s separation date. The deferred amount of these non-vested stock grants is being amortized by monthly charges to earnings over the remaining portion of their respective vesting periods.
Note 4 — Inventories
Major classes of inventory were as follows (in thousands):
                 
    June 28, 2009     March 29, 2009

Note 5 — Financing Arrangements
Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a commercial factor. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires in July 2010, the factor remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor on the due date, the Company is charged interest at prime less 1.0%, which was 2.25% at June 28, 2009, until payment is received. The Company incurred interest expense of $16,000 and $31,000 for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively, as a result of the failure of the Company’s customers to pay the factor by the due date. The factor bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved customers that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances, claims and discounts. The factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination were to occur, the Company must either assume the credit risk for shipments after the date of such termination or cease shipments to such customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, were $129,000 and $67,000 for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively. There were no advances from the factor at either June 28, 2009 or June 29, 2008.
Notes Payable and Other Credit Facilities: At June 28, 2009 and March 29, 2009, long-term debt of the Company consisted of (in thousands):

  $ 19,718     $ 23,568  
 
           
The Company’s credit facilities at June 28, 2009 consisted of the following:
Revolving Line of Credit of up to $26 million, including a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, with an interest rate of prime minus 1.00% (2.25% at June 28, 2009) for base rate borrowings or LIBOR plus 2.25% (2.57% at June 28, 2009), maturing on July 11, 2010 and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. The Company had $4.7 million available under the revolving line of credit based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances as of June 28, 2009. As of June 28, 2009, there were no letters of credit outstanding against the $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit.
The financing agreement for the revolving line of credit contains usual and customary covenants for agreements of that type, including limitations on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or consolidation transactions, dividends, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents for the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 28, 2009.
Term Loan of an original amount of $5 million, with an interest rate of prime plus 0.50% (3.75% at June 28, 2009) and requiring equal monthly installments of principal until final maturity on November 1, 2009.
Subordinated Notes of $4 million. The notes do not bear interest and are due in two equal installments of $2 million each, the first of which is payable on July 11, 2010, and the second of which is payable on July 11, 2011. The original issue discount of $430,000 on this non-interest bearing obligation at a market interest rate of 7.25% is being amortized over the life of the notes.

Note 6 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill: The market capitalization of the Company was below its net book value for most of the second half of the fiscal year ended March 29, 2009, which the Company concluded was a triggering event that required the Company to perform an impairment test of the goodwill of its reporting units. As a result of this impairment test, the Company concluded that the goodwill of the reporting units had no implied value. Accordingly, during the three-month periods ended December 28, 2008 and March 29, 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $9.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate carrying value of the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units. These impairment charges did not result in any cash expenditures and did not have an adverse effect on the covenant calculations under the Company’s financing agreement.
Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets as of June 28, 2009 consisted primarily of the capitalized acquisition costs, other than inventory and assumed liabilities, of the baby products line of Springs Global US, Inc., which was acquired on November 5, 2007 by Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s other intangible assets as of June 28, 2009, their estimated useful life and amortization expense for each of the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7 — Discontinued Operations
On February 2, 2007, the Company announced that it would liquidate Churchill Weavers, Inc. (“Churchill”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, Churchill’s operations ceased and all employees were terminated. The Company is actively marketing for sale Churchill’s land and building, which is recorded at fair value, less cost to sell, and is classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. The operations of Churchill are classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated for inclusion as a subsequent event disclosure only those events that occurred prior to August 12, 2009, the date that the financial statements were issued.
Acquisition: On July 2, 2009, Hamco, Inc. (“Hamco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Neat Solutions, Inc., the privately-held developer of the Table Topper® Stay-in-Place Mat®. Hamco paid a preliminary purchase price of $4.4 million, net of certain specified liabilities assumed; the final purchase price is subject to adjustment pending the preparation and satisfactory review of the financial statements of Neat Solutions as of and through the closing date.
Due to the potential adjustment of the purchase price, the Company was unable to complete the initial accounting for the acquisition as of August 12, 2009, and the Company could not estimate the financial effect of the acquisition. Based upon the completion of the initial accounting, the Company will determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and will record the appropriate allocation of the capitalized acquisition cost in the quarter ending September 27, 2009.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company operates indirectly through its subsidiaries, Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc. and Hamco, Inc., in the infant and toddler products segments within the consumer products industry. The infant and toddler products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding, bibs, soft goods and accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, chain stores, juvenile specialty stores, internet accounts, wholesale clubs and catalogue and direct mail houses. The Company’s products are marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods.
The Company’s products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of salaried sales executives and employees located in Compton, California; Gonzales, Louisiana; Rogers, Arkansas; Cornelius, North Carolina; and Roslyn Heights, New York. Products are also marketed by independent commissioned sales representatives located throughout the United States, who are used most significantly in sales to juvenile specialty stores. Sales outside the United States are made primarily through distributors.
The Company’s products are produced by foreign manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company maintains a foreign representative office in Shanghai, China for the coordination of production, purchases and shipments, seeking out new vendors and inspections for social compliance and quality.
The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers (both branded and private label), including large infant and juvenile product companies and specialty infant and juvenile product manufacturers, on the basis of quality, design, price, brand name recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.
The following discussion is a summary of certain factors that management considers important in reviewing the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table contains results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 and the dollar and percentage changes for those periods (in thousands, except percentages):

Table of Contents

Net Sales: Sales of bedding, blankets and accessories decreased for the three-month period of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. Sales decreased by $5.7 million due to discontinued programs and lower replenishment orders. These decreases were offset by $4.0 million in shipments of new bedding and blanket programs.
Bib and bath sales decreased for the three-month period of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. Sales decreased by $2.6 million due to programs that were discontinued and lower initial program shipments. Offsetting this decrease was an increase of $2.3 million related to sales of new designs and promotions.
Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased in amount in relation to the decrease in net sales but increased as a percentage of net sales for the three-month period of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the same period of fiscal year 2009. The increase in the percentage is due primarily to the absence in the current year of $243,000 in charges incurred in the prior year related to transitioning away from the warehousing and shared services agreement entered into in conjunction with the Springs Global acquisition.
Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Marketing and administrative expenses for the three-month period of fiscal year 2010 decreased slightly in amount as compared to the same period of fiscal year 2009. In the current year, the Company did not incur costs comparable to those incurred in the prior year that were associated with the governance and standstill agreement entered into on July 1, 2008 with Wynnefield Small Cap Value, L.P. and its affiliates.
Interest Expense: The decrease in interest expense for the three-month period of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009 is due to lower balances on the Company’s revolving line of credit and term loan and lower interest rates.
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Company’s operations. The Company has traditionally attempted to increase its prices to offset inflation. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to adequately increase its prices in response to inflation.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.7 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2009, compared to $3.0 million for the three-month period ended June 29, 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to a higher reduction in accounts receivable and prepaid expense balances, as well as changes in accounts payable, inventory and accrued liability balances. Net cash used in investing activities was $569,000 in the current year compared to $72,000 in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in the current year was primarily for the purchase of a certificate of deposit obtained in connection with the issuance on behalf of the Company of a standby letter of credit to guarantee the payment of the Company’s royalty obligations. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.5 million in the current year compared to $0.8 million in the prior year. Cash used in financing activities in the current year was for net repayments on the revolving line of credit and payments on long-term debt. Cash used in financing activities in the prior year was primarily for payments on long-term debt and treasury stock purchases. Total debt outstanding under the Company’s credit facilities before the reduction for the original issue discount on the non-interest bearing notes decreased from $25.2 million at June 29, 2008 to $21.2 million at June 28, 2009. The decrease is due to net repayments on the revolving line of credit and payments on long-term debt from operating cash flow, offset by an increase in the Company’s cash balances.
The Company has built up its cash reserves in order to preserve the Company’s ability to meet its working capital needs in the event that the Company’s primary lender should suffer an adverse liquidity event that would jeopardize the Company’s ability to draw upon its revolving line of credit. On June 28, 2009, the Company had $14.9 million in cash and $4.7 million available under its $26.0 million revolving credit facility, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances as of that date. Also, the entire amount of the $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit associated with the revolving credit facility was available.
The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal, to pay the interest on or to refinance its maturing indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that its cash balance, its cash flow from operations, and its availability from the revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

Table of Contents

To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance the predictability of its cash flow, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a commercial factor. The Company’s factor approves customer accounts and credit lines and collects the Company’s accounts receivable balances. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires in July 2010, the factor remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor on the due date, the Company is charged interest at prime less 1.0%, which was 2.25% at June 28, 2009, until payment is received. The Company incurred interest expense of $16,000 and $31,000 for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, respectively, as a result of the failure of the Company’s customers to pay the factor by the due date. The factor bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved customers that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances, claims and discounts. The factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination were to occur, the Company must either assume the credit risk for shipments after the date of such termination or cease shipments to such customer.

ITEM 1A.  
RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part 1 in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2009, other than as set forth below.
The Company’s factor and primary lender has disclosed that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s factoring agreement, revolving line of credit and term loan are all provided pursuant to contracts between the Company and CIT. On July 21, 2009, CIT reported that its funding strategy and liquidity position have been adversely affected by on-going stress in the credit markets, operating losses, credit rating downgrades, and regulatory and cash restrictions such that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The failure of CIT to partially or completely perform according to the terms of the factoring agreement or revolving line of credit, or both, could force the Company to experience funding delays and other losses, expenses and uncertainties. Additionally, although there are a limited number of financial institutions that can provide similar services to the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company could obtain these services from another financial institution on terms as favorable as those of the Company’s contracts with CIT.
