CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 AND SEPTEMBER 27, 2009
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. References herein to GAAP are
to topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the FASB ASC), which the FASB
periodically revises through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) and which
has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized by the FASB to
be applied by nongovernmental entities. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company as of September 26, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. Such adjustments include normal, recurring accruals, as well as the
elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Operating results for
the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 3, 2011. For further information,
refer to the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2010.
Fiscal Year: The Companys fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. References
herein to fiscal year 2011 represent the 53-week period ending April 3, 2011, references
herein to fiscal year 2010 represent the 52-week period ended March 28, 2010 and references
herein to fiscal year 2009 represent the 52-week period 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 such
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 Companys long-term debt approximates
fair value because interest rates under the Companys borrowings are variable, based on
prevailing market rates. |
Depreciation and Amortization: The accompanying consolidated balance sheets reflect
property, plant and equipment, and certain intangible assets at cost less accumulated
depreciation or amortization. The Company capitalizes additions and improvements and expenses
maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to eight
years for property, plant and equipment, and one to sixteen years for intangible assets other
than goodwill. The Company amortizes improvements to its leased facilities over the term of the
lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
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. Net sales of bedding, blankets and accessories amounted to $29.9
million and $30.8 million for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27,
2009, respectively. Net sales of bibs, bath and disposable products amounted to $11.0 million
and $8.6 million for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009,
respectively.

Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are
reported net of allowances for estimated returns and allowances in the accompanying 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 is netted against
sales in reporting the results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts
reimbursed by customers, are not material and are included in net sales.
Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Companys 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 Companys 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. 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 or credits issued
against the customers account balance. The Company analyzes the components of the allowances
for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to the appropriate levels. The
timing of 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 funding requests
should have no impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued
commensurate with sales activity.
To reduce the exposure to credit losses and to enhance the predictability of its cash
flows, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable under factoring
agreements with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of CIT Group, Inc.
(CIT). In the event a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to creditworthiness, CIT
bears the risk of loss. The Company must make estimates of the uncollectibility of its
non-factored accounts receivable, which it accomplishes by specifically analyzing accounts
receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current
economic trends and changes in its customers payment terms to evaluate the adequacy of its
allowance for doubtful accounts. The Companys accounts receivable at September 26, 2010
amounted to $15.9 million, net of allowances of $1.1 million. Of this amount, $15.5 million is
due from CIT under the factoring agreements, which amount represents the maximum amount of loss
that the Company could incur under the factoring agreements if CIT failed completely to perform
its obligations thereunder.
Inventory Valuation: The preparation of the Companys financial statements requires careful
determination of the appropriate dollar amount of the Companys inventory balances. Such amount
is presented as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is a direct
determinant of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and,
therefore, has a significant impact on the amount of net income in the accounting periods
reported. The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which is the sum of expenditures and
charges, both direct and indirect, incurred to acquire inventory, bring it to a condition
suitable for sale, and store it until it is sold. Once cost has been determined, the Companys
inventory is then stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the
order in which they are acquired. The determination of the indirect charges and their
allocation to the Companys finished goods inventories is complex and requires significant
management judgment and estimates. If management made different judgments or utilized different
estimates, then differences would result in the valuation of the Companys inventories, the
amount and timing of the Companys cost of goods sold and the resulting net income for any
accounting period.
On a periodic basis, management reviews the Companys inventory quantities on hand for
obsolescence, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on
hand which may not reasonably be expected to be sold within the normal operating cycle of the
Companys operations. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or the
market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is
otherwise no longer as great as its carrying value, an allowance against the inventory value is
established. To the extent that this allowance is established or increased during an accounting
period, an expense is recorded in cost of goods sold in the Companys consolidated statements of
income. Only when inventory for which an allowance has been established is later sold or is
otherwise disposed of is the allowance reduced accordingly. Significant management judgment is
required in determining the amount and adequacy of this allowance. In the event that actual
results differ from managements estimates or these estimates and judgments are revised in
future periods, the Company may not fully realize the carrying value of its inventory or may
need to establish additional allowances, either of which could materially impact the Companys
financial position and results of operations.
5
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill: In addition
to the depreciation and amortization procedures set forth above, 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
estimated costs to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal, and are classified
as assets held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company tests the fair value of the goodwill of its reporting units annually as of the
first day of the Companys fiscal year. An additional interim impairment test is performed
during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that suggest that the fair
value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not
fallen below its carrying value. The annual or interim impairment test is performed in a
two-step approach. The first step is the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit to
ensure that its fair value exceeds its carrying value. If step one indicates that a potential
impairment exists, then the second step is performed to measure the amount of an impairment
charge, if any. In the second step, these estimated fair values are used as the hypothetical
purchase price for the reporting units, and an allocation of such hypothetical purchase price is
made to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assigned liabilities of the
reporting units. The impairment charge is calculated as the amount, if any, by which the
carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied amount of goodwill that results from this
hypothetical purchase price allocation.
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 royalties are
accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers.
Royalty expense is included in cost of sales and amounted to $3.0 million for each of the
six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009.
Provisions for Income Taxes: The Companys provisions for income taxes include all
currently payable federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are based upon the Companys
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. The Companys policy is to recognize
the effect that a change in enacted tax rates would have on net deferred income tax assets and
liabilities in the period that the tax rates are changed.
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% likelihood 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements. Tax
years open to federal or state general examination or other adjustment as of September 26, 2010
were the tax years ended April 1, 2007, March 30, 2008, March 29, 2009 and March 28, 2010, as
well as the tax year ended April 2, 2006 for several states. The Companys policy is to accrue
interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a
charge to interest expense in the Companys consolidated statements of income.
Earnings Per Share: The Company calculates basic earnings per share by using a weighted
average of the number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted shares
outstanding are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that the
proceeds from the exercise of all exercisable options would be used to repurchase shares at
market value. The net number of shares issued after the exercise proceeds are exhausted
represents the potentially dilutive effect of the options, which are added to basic shares to
arrive at diluted shares.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 855,
Subsequent Events, 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. FASB ASC Topic 855 became effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and was to be applied prospectively. This
standard originally required the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events
have been evaluated, which was intended to provide guidance to readers of the Companys
financial statements that the Company has not evaluated subsequent events after that date.
However, the FASB on February 24, 2010 issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which became effective upon
issuance and which removed the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through
which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Companys adoption of FASB ASC Topic 855 on
March 30, 2009 and the adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 on February 24, 2010 did not impact the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
On October 7, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This ASU addresses the accounting for companies that
provide for revenue arrangements to its customers that contain components of both the sale of a
product and the sale of a service in a single contractually binding agreement. The ASU will
become effective prospectively for such revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified
in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
does not typically enter into these types of revenue arrangements, and therefore does not
anticipate that the adoption by the Company of ASU No. 2009-13 on April 4, 2011 will materially
impact its consolidated financial statements.
On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures
about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU
is intended to provide additional information to assist readers of the Companys financial
statements in assessing the Companys credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its
allowance for credit losses. For the Companys disclosures to be required as of the end of a
reporting period, this ASU will become effective as of the end of the first interim or annual
reporting period ending or after December 15, 2010. For the Companys disclosures to be
required about activity that occurs during a reporting period, this ASU will become effective
for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Because the
Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT pursuant to factoring
agreements, and further because CIT bears the risk of credit loss with respect to trade accounts
receivable assigned to them, the Company does not anticipate that the adoption by the Company of
ASU No. 2010-20 on December 26, 2010 will materially impact its consolidated financial
statements.

Note 2 Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the operations of Churchill Weavers, Inc.
(Churchill), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ceased and all employees were
terminated. The Company is actively marketing Churchills land and building for sale. The
Churchill property is recorded at fair value, less cost to sell, and is classified as assets
held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The costs to maintain the
Churchill property are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.
Note 3 Subsequent Events
The Company has determined that there are no subsequent events that require disclosure
pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 855, as revised.
Note 4 Acquisitions
Neat Solutions: On July 2, 2009, Hamco, Inc. (Hamco), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Neat Solutions, Inc. (Neat
Solutions), the privately-held developer of the Table Topper® Stay-in-Place
Mat® (the Neat Solutions Acquisition). Hamco paid a purchase price of $4.4
million, net of certain specified liabilities assumed. Hamco also recognized as expense
$195,000 of direct costs associated with the acquisition, which were included in marketing
and administrative expenses in interim reporting periods during the fiscal year ended March
28, 2010, $150,000 of which were recognized during the three-month period ended September
27, 2009.
The Neat Solutions Acquisition resulted in an increase of $1.2 million in net sales of
bibs, bath and disposable products for the three-month period ended June 27, 2010 and an
increase of $1.1 million in net sales for the three-month period ended September 27, 2009.
Because the operations of Neat Solutions have been integrated with those of Hamco, and
because the assets acquired from Neat Solutions do not exist as a discrete entity within the
Companys internal corporate structure, it is impracticable to determine the earnings
generated by the assets acquired from Neat Solutions since the acquisition date. The
Company believes that the pro forma impact of the acquisition is not material.
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by the
Company with the assistance of an independent third party. The Companys allocation of the
acquisition cost is as follows (in thousands):

Bibsters®: On May 27, 2010, Hamco paid $1.8 million to The Procter & Gamble
Company (P&G) to acquire certain intellectual property related to P&Gs line of
Bibsters® disposable infant bibs. In a separate but related transaction, Hamco
also acquired the inventory associated with the Bibsters® product line from the
exclusive licensee of Bibsters® for P&G, whose license was terminated to coincide
with the closing (collectively, the two transactions represent the Bibsters®
Acquisition). Hamco also recognized as expense $88,000 of direct costs associated with the
acquisition, which were included in marketing and administrative expenses during the
six-month period ended September 26, 2010.
The Bibsters® Acquisition resulted in an increase of $646,000 and $879,000
in net sales of bibs, bath and disposable products for the three and six-month periods ended
September 26, 2010, respectively. Because the operations of the Bibsters®
product line have been integrated with Hamco, and because the assets acquired do not exist
as a discrete entity within the Companys internal corporate structure, it is impracticable
to determine the earnings generated by the assets acquired from the Bibsters®
product line since the acquisition date. The Company believes that the pro forma impact of
the acquisition is not material.

Note 5 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 Companys 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 Companys
overall goal of increasing stockholder value. The principal reason for adopting the 2006 Plan
was 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 Companys 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 Companys Board
of Directors (the Board), which selects eligible employees and non-employee directors to
participate in the 2006 Plan and determines the type, amount, duration and other terms of
individual awards. At September 26, 2010, 322,000 shares of the Companys common stock were
available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan.
Stock-based compensation is calculated according to FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation
Stock Compensation, which requires stock-based compensation to be accounted for using a
fair-value-based measurement. The Company recorded $321,000 and $484,000 of stock-based
compensation expense during the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2010,
respectively, and recorded $298,000 and $476,000 of stock-based compensation expense during
the three and six-month periods ended September 27, 2009, respectively. The Company records
the compensation expense associated with stock-based awards granted to individuals in the same
expense classifications as the cash compensation paid to those same individuals. No
stock-based compensation costs have been capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of
September 26, 2010.

To determine the estimated fair value of stock options granted, the Company uses the
Black-Scholes-Merton valuation formula, which is a closed-form model that uses an equation to
estimate fair value. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine the fair
value, and the resulting grant-date fair value per option, of the non-qualified stock options
which were awarded to certain employees during the six-month period ended September 26, 2010,
which options vest over a two-year period, assuming continued service.

As of September 26, 2010, total unrecognized stock option compensation expense amounted to
$294,000, which will be recognized as the underlying stock options vest over a period of up to
two years. The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any
future stock option grants and by the separation from the Company of any individual who has
received stock options that are unvested as of such individuals separation date.

Non-vested Stock: On August 25, 2006, the Board granted 375,000 shares of non-vested stock
to certain employees with a fair value of $3.15 per share, which was the closing price of the
Companys common stock on that date. These shares vested upon four years of continued service,
except as set forth below.
During the quarter ended September 27, 2009, the Company amended the non-vested stock grant
that had been awarded in 2006 to E. Randall Chestnut, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company. Under the terms of the amended non-vested stock grant, the vesting of
160,000 of the 320,000 shares awarded to Mr. Chestnut was accelerated from August 25, 2010 to
August 12, 2009. During the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2010, the
acceleration of the vesting of these shares resulted in the recognition of compensation expense
of $21,000 and $53,000, respectively, less than that which would have been recognized if the
acceleration of the vesting had not occurred. On August 25, 2010, the remaining 215,000 shares
vested that had been awarded to certain employees in 2006 at an aggregate value of $968,000.
The Board granted 30,000 shares of non-vested stock to its non-employee directors during
each of the quarters ended September 26, 2010, September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 with a
weighted-average fair value of $4.36, $3.02 and $3.87, respectively, based upon the closing
prices of the Companys common stock on the date of each of the grants. These shares vest over
a two-year period, assuming continued service, except as set forth below.
On May 27, 2010, the Company amended the stock grants that had been awarded to Sidney
Kirschner in 2008 and 2009 to induce Mr. Kirschner to resign from the Board. Under the terms of
the amended non-vested stock grants, the vesting of 2,500 of the 5,000 shares awarded in 2008
and all 5,000 of the shares awarded in 2009 was accelerated to May 27, 2010. The total value of
Mr. Kirschners 7,500 shares that vested on May 27, 2010 amounted to $30,000.
During the three-month period ended September 26, 2010, 25,000 shares vested that had been
granted to non-employee directors, having an aggregate value of $113,000, and 5,000 shares were
forfeited upon the departure from the Board of two non-employee directors prior to the vesting
of their shares.
The Board awarded 345,000 shares of non-vested stock to certain employees as of June 23,
2010 (the Grant Date) in a series of grants which will vest only if the closing price of the
Companys common stock is at or above certain target levels for any ten trading days out of any
period of 30 consecutive trading days (the Market Condition), assuming continued service
through the date the Market Condition is achieved.
As of July 29, 2010 (the Modification Date), the Company amended these non-vested stock
grants to require as a condition to vesting a five-year period of continuous service after the
Modification Date in addition to the achievement of the Market Condition. The amendment of
these non-vested stock grants will be accounted for as a modification. As such, the initial
aggregate Grant Date fair value and the incremental cost resulting from the modification, if
any, will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting term of the modified awards.
The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party, has determined that the
aggregate Grant Date fair value of the original awards amounted to $1.2 million, and has further
determined that there is no incremental cost resulting from the modification. Therefore, the
aggregate Grant Date fair value of $1.2 million will be recognized as compensation expense over
a period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Modification
Date.
For the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2010, the Company recognized
compensation expense associated with non-vested stock grants, which is included in marketing and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, as follows (in

Note 7 Financing Arrangements
Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable
to CIT under factoring agreements. Under the terms of the factoring agreements, which expire
in July 2013, CIT remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of
invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay CIT on the due date, then the Company is
charged interest at prime plus 1.0%, which was 4.25% at September 26, 2010, until payment is
received. The Company incurred interest expense of $18,000 and $19,000 for the three-month
periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively, and $35,000 for each of
the six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, as a result of the
failure of the Companys customers to pay CIT by the due date. CIT bears credit losses with
respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved customers that are within approved
credit limits. The Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to
returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT 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 accompanying consolidated statements of income, were $153,000
and $155,000 for the quarters ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively,
and were $287,000 and $284,000 for the six-months ended September 26, 2010 and September 27,
2009, respectively. There were no advances from the factor at either September 26, 2010 or
September 27, 2009.

The Companys credit facilities at September 26, 2010 consisted of the following:
Revolving Line of Credit under a financing agreement with CIT of up to $26.0 million,
which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, with an interest rate of prime
plus 1.00%, which was 4.25% at September 26, 2010, or LIBOR plus 3.00%, which was 3.26 at
September 26, 2010, maturing on July 11, 2013 and secured by a first lien on all assets of
the Company. As of September 26, 2010, the Company had elected to pay interest on the
revolving line of credit under the LIBOR option. Also under the financing agreement, a
monthly fee is assessed based on 0.25% of the average unused portion of the $26.0 million
revolving line of credit, less any outstanding letters of credit. This unused line fee
amounted to $12,000 and $2,000 for the three-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and
September 27, 2009, respectively, and $22,000 and $5,000 for the six-month periods ended
September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively. At September 26, 2010, there was a
balance due on the revolving line of credit of $5.8 million, there was a $500,000 letter of
credit outstanding and the Company had $17.2 million available under the revolving line of
credit based on its eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances.
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 amendments to the organizational documents for
the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of
September 26, 2010.
Subordinated Notes totaling $2.0 million. The notes do not bear interest and are due on
July 11, 2011. The original issue discount of $117,000 on these non-interest bearing
obligations at a market interest rate of 7.25% is being amortized over the life of the notes.

Note 8 Goodwill, Customer Relationships and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill: The Company reported goodwill of $864,000 at March 28, 2010. The Company
tests the fair value of the goodwill of its reporting units annually as of the first day of
the Companys fiscal year. An additional interim impairment test is performed during the
year whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that suggests that the fair value
of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not
fallen below its carrying value. The annual or interim impairment test is performed in a
two-step approach. The first step is the estimation of the fair value of each reporting
unit to ensure that its fair value exceeds its carrying value. If step one indicates that a
potential impairment exists, then the second step is performed to measure the amount of an
impairment charge, if any. In the second step, these estimated fair values are used as the
hypothetical purchase price for the reporting units, and an allocation of such hypothetical
purchase price is made to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assigned
liabilities of the reporting units. The impairment charge is calculated as the amount, if
any, by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied amount of goodwill that
results from this hypothetical purchase price allocation.
The Company has performed the annual impairment test of the fair value of the goodwill
of its reporting units as of March 29, 2010, and has concluded that the fair value of the
goodwill of the Companys reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of that date.
During the three-month period ended June 27, 2010, the Company recorded goodwill of $290,000
in connection with the Bibsters® Acquisition as the excess of the consideration
paid over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the
entirety of which is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes.
13
Customer Relationships and Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets at
September 26, 2010 consisted primarily of the capitalized costs of recent acquisitions,
other than tangible assets, goodwill and assumed liabilities. The carrying amount and
accumulated amortization of the Companys other intangible assets as of September 26, 2010,
their estimated useful life and amortization expense for the three and six-month periods
ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009 are as follows (dollar amounts in

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company operates indirectly through its subsidiaries, Crown Crafts Infant Products,
Inc. and Hamco, in the infant and toddler products segment within the consumer products
industry. The infant and toddler products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding,
bibs, disposable products, soft goods and accessories. Sales of the Companys products are
generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, mid-tier
retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores,
restaurants, internet accounts, wholesale clubs and catalog retailers. The Companys
products are manufactured primarily in Asia and marketed under a variety of Company-owned
trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods.
The Companys products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of
salaried sales executives and employees located in Compton, California; Gonzales, Louisiana;
and Rogers, Arkansas. Products are also marketed by
independent commissioned sales representatives located throughout the United States and
Canada. Sales outside the United States and Canada are made primarily through distributors.
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 Companys ability to compete depends principally on styling,
price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Companys products and
trade names.

important in reviewing the Companys results of operations, financial position, liquidity
and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated

Net Sales: Sales of bedding, blankets and accessories increased for the three-month
period of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Sales
increased by $4.5 million due to new bedding and blanket programs and higher replenishment
orders. These increases were offset by $3.4 million in discontinued programs.
Sales of bedding, blankets and accessories decreased for the six-month period of fiscal
year 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Sales decreased by $7.6
million due to discontinued programs and lower replenishment orders. These decreases were
offset by $6.6 million in new bedding and blanket programs.
Sales of bib, bath and disposable products increased for the three-month period of
fiscal year 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Sales increased by
$1.8 million due to sales of new designs and promotions and increased by $646,000 due to the
Bibsters® Acquisition. Offsetting these increases were decreases of $1.5 million
related to programs that were discontinued and lower replenishment orders.
Sales of bib, bath and disposable products increased for the six-month period of fiscal
year 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Sales increased by $2.2
million due in the aggregate to the Neat Solutions Acquisition and the Bibsters®
Acquisition. Sales also increased by $2.7 million due to sales of new designs and
promotions. Offsetting these increases were decreases of $2.5 million related to programs
that were discontinued and lower replenishment orders.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased in amount and as a percentage of net sales for the
three and six-month periods of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the same periods of fiscal
year 2010. The contributions from the Neat Solutions Acquisition and the Bibsters®
Acquisition have provided incrementally higher margins by increasing sales without
proportionately increasing fixed overhead costs. Also, amortization costs associated with
the acquisition of the baby products line of Springs Global in November 2007 decreased by
$207,000 and $414,000 for the three and six-month periods of the current year, respectively.
Finally, higher inventory purchases in the current quarter resulted in a greater absorption
of costs to inventory as compared to prior periods.
Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Marketing and administrative expenses for the
three and six-month periods of fiscal year 2011 increased as compared to the same periods of
fiscal year 2010. In the current year, the Company incurred costs of $320,000 and $401,000
for the three and six-month periods, respectively, that were associated with the Companys
proxy contest that were not incurred in the prior year.
Interest Expense: The decrease in interest expense for the three-month period of fiscal
year 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010 is due to lower balances on the
Companys revolving line of credit and term loan.
15
Income Tax Expense: The Companys provision for income taxes on continuing operations
is based upon an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the six-month period of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to 37.5% for the same period of fiscal year 2010.
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Companys
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 used in operating activities was $116,000 for the six-month period ended
September 26, 2010, compared to cash of $4.3 million provided by operating activities for
the six-month period ended September 27, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating
activities in the current year was due to a higher increase in inventory balances and a
lower reduction of accounts receivable balances, offset by a higher increase in accounts
payable balances.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million in the current year compared to
$5.0 million in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in the current included
$2.1 million associated with the Bibsters® Acquisition, offset by proceeds of
$505,000 from the maturity of a certificate of deposit purchased in the prior year in
connection with the issuance on behalf of the Company of a standby letter of credit to
guarantee the payment of certain of the Companys royalty obligations. Cash used in
investing activities in the prior year included $4.4 million associated with the Neat
Solutions Acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the current year was $1.7 million compared
to cash of $2.6 million used in financing activities in the prior year. The increase in net
cash provided by financing activities in the current year was primarily due to $5.5 million
in higher net borrowings on the Companys revolving line of credit, offset by $750,000 in
higher repayments of the Companys term debt obligations and $378,000 in higher treasury
stock purchases.
Total debt outstanding under the Companys credit facilities before the reduction for
the original issue discount on the non-interest bearing notes decreased from $23.4 million
at September 27, 2009 to $7.9 million at September 26, 2010. The decrease is due primarily
to net repayments on the revolving line of credit, the largest portion of which came from a
reduction of the Companys cash reserves in December 2009, which were $12.0 million at
September 27, 2009. The Company had built up its cash reserves in the prior year by drawing
upon its revolving line of credit in order to preserve the Companys ability to meet its
working capital needs in the event that the Companys primary lender should suffer an
adverse liquidity event that would jeopardize the Companys ability to draw upon its
revolving line of credit. At September 26, 2010, there was a balance due on the revolving
line of credit of $5.8 million, there was a $500,000 letter of credit outstanding and the
Company had $17.2 million available under the revolving line of credit based on its eligible
accounts receivable and inventory balances.
The Companys 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 Companys 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 flow from operations and its availability
from the revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.
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 CIT pursuant to
factoring agreements. CIT approves customer accounts and credit lines and collects the
Companys accounts receivable balances. Under the terms of the factoring agreements, which
expire in July 2013, CIT remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each
group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay CIT on the due date, the Company is
charged interest on the unpaid balance at prime plus 1.0%, which was 4.25% at September 26,
2010, until payment is received. The Company incurred interest expense of $18,000 and
$19,000 for the three-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009,
respectively, and $35,000 for each of the six-month periods ended September 26, 2010 and
September 27, 2009, as a result of the failure of the Companys customers to pay CIT by the
due date. CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from
approved customers that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears the
responsibility for adjustments related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT
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.
