ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

(1)    Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (“Interiors”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on May 25, 1989. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interiors, its wholly owned subsidiary Ethan Allen Global, Inc. (“Global”), and Global’s subsidiaries (collectively “We”, “Us”, “Our”, “Ethan Allen”, or the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.  All of Global’s capital stock is owned by Interiors, which has no assets or operating results other than those associated with its investment in Global.

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.  Areas in which significant estimates have been made include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, tax valuation allowances, useful lives for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists (e.g. a wholesale purchase order or retail sales invoice); the sales arrangement specifies a fixed or determinable sales price; product is shipped or services are provided to the customer; and collectability is reasonably assured.  As such, revenue recognition occurs upon the shipment of goods to independent retailers or, in the case of Ethan Allen-operated retail design centers, upon delivery to the customer.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as a result of the growth of our independent retailer in China, and at their request, a separate section of an existing Ethan Allen warehouse was established by us to hold sold product on their behalf.  At March 31, 2011, $5.2 million of sold product was held in the warehouse, and are part of our net sales.  Under this arrangement, after a fixed commitment by the customer is made, the Company recognizes revenue when the sales price is fixed, collectability is reasonably assured, title and risk of ownership has passed to the customer, no specific performance obligations remain, and a fixed schedule of delivery is agreed upon and in place.  The substantial business purpose for the customer request was to provide additional warehouse space to support their business expansion plans and to reduce delivery lead times.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) released additional guidance on Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” which revised previous guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). ASC 810 requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, as opposed to reconsideration only when specific events occurred, as under former rules. The new guidance also replaced the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE with a qualitative approach, and changes some disclosure requirements. We have adopted these provisions effective July 1, 2010, and there was no significant impact on our financial statements and results of operations.

 

(2)         Interim Financial Presentation

 

In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order for them to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

(3)         Income Taxes

 

The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets.  The Company identifies items which are not normal and are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis.

 

The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was a negative 13.0% and a positive 82.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and a negative 26.7% and a positive 41.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income more than offset by a tax benefit from the reduction in valuation allowance due to a decrease in deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance. The current rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain federal statutes of limitation largely offset by additional state tax contingency reserves for various states where the Company is currently under audit.

 

The nine month year to date effective tax rate includes tax expense on the nine month year to date net income offset by a larger tax benefit from the reduction in valuation allowance due to a decrease in deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance. The rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain federal statutes of limitation largely offset by additional state tax contingency reserves for various states where the Company is currently under audit. The significant decrease in the valuation allowance recorded was due primarily to a change in tax accounting methods applied in the Company’s U.S. federal tax filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 which accelerated tax expenses for depreciation, inventory and professional fees that were previously treated as deferred tax assets. This change resulted in an increase in the U.S. federal and state net operating losses (“NOL”) reported for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The federal NOL was carried back to fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and other current assets have been adjusted to record a receivable for the additional expected cash refund which has been increased to approximately $17.3 million. The cash refund was received in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state, and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the taxing authorities in such major jurisdictions as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. As of March 31, 2011, certain subsidiaries of the Company are currently under U.S. audit from 2001 through 2008. It is reasonably possible that some of these audits may be completed during the next twelve months.  It is reasonable to expect that various issues relating to uncertain tax benefits will be resolved within the next twelve months as exams are completed or as statutes expire and will impact the effective tax rate.

 

A full valuation allowance was established as of June 30, 2010 since the Company had a three year cumulative loss. As of March 31, 2011, the Company remains in a three year cumulative loss and the full valuation allowance remains in place, though at a reduced level after recording the impact of the changes in tax accounting methods made in the prior quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The valuation allowance at March 31, 2011 was $23.5 million vs. $36.2

million at June 30, 2010, and $10.2 million of the decrease is related to tax accounting method changes reported in the fiscal year ended 2010 tax returns.

 

Due to the economic times and recent losses and after considering both positive and negative evidence, management’s assessment is that realization of tax assets is not reasonably assured due to a lack of available objective evidence. Management will continue to assess the realizability of the tax assets based on actual and forecasted operating results on a quarterly basis, which will likely cause volatility in the effective tax rate of the Company.

 

(4)         Restricted Cash and Investments

 

At March 31, 2011, we held $16.4 million of restricted cash and investments in lieu of providing letters of credit for the benefit of the provider of our workmen’s compensation and other insurance and for the benefit of the issuer of our private label credit card. These funds can be invested in high quality money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agency fixed income instruments, and cannot be withdrawn without the prior written consent of the secured party.  These assets are carried at cost, which approximates market value and are classified as long-term assets because they are not expected to be used within one year to fund operations.  See also Note 15, “Financial Instruments”.

 

(5)         Marketable Securities

 

At March 31, 2011, the Company held marketable securities of $13.0 million classified as current assets, consisting of U.S. municipal bonds with maturities ranging from less than one year to less than two years, which were rated A+/A1 or better by the rating services Standard & Poors (“S&P”) and Moodys Investors Service (“Moodys”) respectively. There have been no material realized or unrealized gains or losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We do not believe there are any impairments considered to be other than temporary at March 31, 2011.  Also see Note 4, “Restricted Cash and Investments” and Note 15, “Financial Instruments”.

(7)         Restructuring and Impairment Charges

 

In recent years, we have announced and executed plans to consolidate our operations as part of an overall strategy to maximize production efficiencies and maintain our competitive advantage. Plans announced in fiscal 2008 and 2009 had no material impact on fiscal 2011 financial statements and the balance of reserves for these actions, primarily for non-cancellable lease obligations with expirations up to 23 years, totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2011.

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1.  We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes.  During the current fiscal year, the Company repurchased $26.6 million of the Senior Notes in several unsolicited transactions.

 

In March 2011, the Company amended its $60 million senior secured, asset-based, revolving credit facility which was due to expire in fiscal 2012.  As amended, this facility (the “Amended Facility”) provides revolving credit financing of up to $50 million, subject to borrowing base availability, and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million either with existing or additional lenders subject to certain conditions.  The Amended Facility was extended by approximately four years to March 25, 2016, or to June 26, 2015 if the Company’s 5.375% long term bonds have not been refinanced. At the Company’s option, revolving loans under the Amended Facility bear interest at an annual rate of either:

 

(a)                   London Interbank Offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.0% to 2.5%, based on the average availability, or

(b)                  The higher of (i) a prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% plus, in each case, an additional 1.0% to 1.5%, based on average availability.

 

The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Amended Facility and participation fees on issued letters of credit at an annual rate of 1.0% to 2.5%, based on the average availability and the letter of credit type.  If the average monthly availability is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the aggregate commitment and (ii) $6.3 million, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1 to 1 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Certain payments are restricted if the availability of the collateral supporting the facility falls below $10 million or 20% of the facility size.

The Amended Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt; engage in mergers and consolidations; make restricted payments (including dividends); sell certain assets; and make investments.  At March 31, 2011, we had no revolving loans and $0.7 million of standby and trade letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Facility. Remaining availability under the facility totaled $49.3 million subject to limitations set forth in the agreement and as a result, the coverage charge ratio, and other restricted payment limitations did not apply.

 

As of March 31, 2011, we are in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Facility and our Senior Notes.

 

(11)    Litigation

 

Environmental Matters

 

We and our subsidiaries are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws, we and/or our subsidiaries are, or may be, required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain hazardous materials.

 

During fiscal 2009, three locations where we and/or our subsidiaries had been named as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) were resolved. In each case, we were not a major contributor based on the very small volume of waste generated by us in relation to total volume at those sites and were able to take part in de minimus settlement arrangements.  One additional site in Carroll, New York continued to be evaluated as of March 31, 2011. We believe that we are not a major contributor. Liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended may be joint and several. As such, to the extent certain named PRPs are unable, or unwilling, to accept responsibility and pay their apportioned costs, we could be required to pay in excess of our pro rata share of incurred remediation costs. Our understanding of the financial strength of other PRPs has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of our estimated liability.  As of March 31, 2011, we believe that established reserves related to these environmental contingencies are adequate to cover probable and reasonably estimable costs associated with the remediation and restoration of these sites.  We believe our currently anticipated capital expenditures for environmental control facility matters are not material.

 

We are subject to other federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations and are involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings regarding environmental matters.  Such investigations and proceedings typically concern air emissions, water discharges, and/or management of solid and hazardous wastes. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations.

 

Regulations issued under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required the industry to reformulate certain furniture finishes or institute process changes to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds. Compliance with many of these requirements has been facilitated through the introduction of high solids coating technology and alternative formulations. In addition, we have instituted a variety of technical and procedural controls, including reformulation of finishing materials to reduce toxicity, implementation of high velocity low pressure spray systems, development of storm water protection plans and controls, and further development of related inspection/audit teams, all of which have served to reduce emissions per unit of production. We remain committed to implementing new waste minimization programs and/or enhancing existing programs with the objective of (i) reducing the total volume of waste, (ii) limiting the liability associated with waste disposal, and (iii) continuously improving environmental and job safety programs on the factory floor which serve to minimize emissions and safety risks for employees. We will continue to evaluate the most appropriate, cost effective, control technologies for finishing operations and design production methods to reduce the use of hazardous materials in the manufacturing process.

(12)    Share-Based Compensation

 

On July 20, 2010, in recognition of his extraordinary efforts during these challenging times for the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors awarded M. Farooq Kathwari, our President and Chief Executive Officer 11,000 service-based restricted shares which vest in two equal annual installments on the grant date anniversary.  No other significant share based awards have been issued in fiscal 2011 to date.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, stock options to purchase 1,711,771 and 2,056,264 common shares, respectively, were excluded from the respective diluted earnings per share calculation because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

(14)            Comprehensive Income

 

Our accumulated other comprehensive income, comprised of losses on certain derivative instruments and accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments, totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2011 and $1.2 million at June 30, 2010.  Foreign currency translation adjustments are the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada and Mexico. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.

 

(15)            Financial Instruments

 

We determine fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on assumptions that market participants use in pricing the asset or liability, and not on assumptions specific to the Company. In addition, the fair value of liabilities include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels, determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1                    Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2                    Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Level 3                    Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and mutual funds in U.S. government and agency fixed income securities.  We use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value.  At March 31, 2011, $6.3 million of the cash equivalents were restricted, and classified as a long-term asset.

 

Available-for-sale securities consist of U.S. agency bonds with a maturity of five years, and U.S. municipal bonds with maturities of less than two years.  The agency bonds are rated AAA/Aaa by S&P/Moody’s, and the municipal bonds are rated A+/A1 or better by S&P/Moodys respectively. At March 31, 2011, $10.0 million of the available-for-sale securities were restricted and classified as a long-term asset.  We obtain fair value based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.  As of March 31, 2011, there were no material gross unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.

 

As of March 31, 2011, the contractual maturities of our available-for-sale investments were as follows:

No investments have been in a continuous loss position for more than one year, and no other-than-temporary impairments were recognized.  Also see note 4, “Restricted Cash and Investments”, and note 5, “Marketable Securities”.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

 

We measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we did not record any other-than-temporary impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

(16)            Segment Information

 

Our operations are classified into two operating segments: wholesale and retail.  These operating segments represent strategic business areas that operate separately and provide their own distinctive services. These two segments enable us to effectively offer our complete line of home furnishings and accessories to different target markets.

Table of Contents

 

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

The wholesale segment is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand, which encompasses the design, manufacture, domestic and offshore sourcing, sale and distribution of a full range of home furnishings and accessories to a network of independently operated and Ethan Allen operated design centers as well as related marketing and brand awareness efforts.  Wholesale revenue is generated upon the wholesale sale and shipment of our product to all retail design centers, including those operated by Ethan Allen.  Wholesale profitability includes (i) the wholesale gross margin, which represents the difference between the wholesale sales price and the cost associated with manufacturing and/or sourcing the related product, and (ii) other operating costs associated with wholesale segment activities.

 

The retail segment sells home furnishings and accessories to consumers through a network of Company operated design centers.  Retail revenue is generated upon the retail sale and delivery of our product to our customers.  Retail profitability includes (i) the retail gross margin, which represents the difference between the retail sales price and the cost of goods purchased from the wholesale segment, and (ii) other operating costs associated with retail segment activities.

 

Inter-segment eliminations result, primarily, from the wholesale sale of inventory to the retail segment, including the related profit margin.

 

We evaluate performance of the respective segments based upon revenues and operating income. While the manner in which our home furnishings and accessories are marketed and sold is consistent, the nature of the underlying recorded sales (i.e. wholesale versus retail) and the specific services that each operating segment provides (i.e. wholesale manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution versus retail selling) are different.  Within the wholesale segment, we maintain revenue information according to each respective product line (i.e. case goods, upholstery, or home accessories and other).  The allocation of retail sales by product line is reasonably similar to that of the wholesale segment.  A breakdown of wholesale sales by these product lines for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is provided as follows:

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

 

The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) our Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, as set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements relating to our future results. Such forward-looking statements are identified by use of forward-looking words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “estimates”, “expects”, and “intends” or words or phrases of similar expression. These forward-looking statements are subject to management decisions and various assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the effects of terrorist attacks or conflicts or wars involving the United States or its allies or trading partners; the effects of labor strikes; weather conditions that may affect sales; volatility in fuel, utility, transportation and security costs; changes in global or regional political or economic conditions, including changes in governmental and central bank policies; changes in business conditions in the furniture industry, including changes in consumer spending patterns and demand for home furnishings; effects of our brand awareness and marketing programs, including changes in demand for our existing and new products; our ability to locate new design center sites and/or negotiate favorable lease terms for additional design centers or for the expansion of existing design centers; competitive factors, including changes in products or marketing efforts of others; pricing pressures; fluctuations in interest rates and the cost, availability and quality of raw materials; those matters discussed in Items 1A and 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and in our SEC filings; and our future decisions. Accordingly, actual circumstances and results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on the accounting policies used.  Certain accounting polices require that estimates and assumptions be made by management for use in the preparation of the financial statements.  Critical accounting policies are those that are central to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results and that require subjective or complex estimates by management.  During the quarter, the Company’s critical accounting policy regarding revenue recognition was modified as described below.  For information regarding the Company’s other critical accounting policies, see the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 19, 2010.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists (e.g. a wholesale purchase order or retail sales invoice); the sales arrangement specifies a fixed or determinable sales price; product is shipped or services are provided to the customer; and collectability is reasonably assured.  As such, revenue recognition occurs upon the shipment of goods to independent retailers or, in the case of Ethan Allen-operated retail design centers, upon delivery to the customer.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as a result of the growth of our independent retailer in China, and at their request, a separate section of an existing Ethan Allen warehouse was established by us to hold sold product on their behalf.  At March 31, 2011, $5.2 million of sold product was held in the warehouse, and are part of our net sales.  Under this arrangement, after a fixed commitment by the customer is made, the Company recognizes revenue when the sales price is fixed, collectability is reasonably assured, title and risk of ownership has passed to the customer, no specific performance obligations remain, and a fixed schedule of delivery is agreed upon and in

place.  The substantial business purpose for the customer request was to provide additional warehouse space to support their business expansion plans and to reduce delivery lead times.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our Company and the furniture industry are slowly recovering from the ‘Great Recession’ in the United States and abroad.  Unemployment remains high, capital markets volatile, and housing markets remain well below pre-Great Recession levels.  Despite this, we see consumer spending slowly improving.  The many actions we have taken to significantly reduce costs have allowed us to return to profitability, by changing many aspects of our business.  We consolidated our manufacturing footprint to seven facilities in North America where more than 70% of our products are made. We also converted our case goods manufacturing to custom, made to order manufacturing, providing a significant differentiating factor in the market. We believe we have retained sufficient scalable capacity domestically and abroad to meet higher volumes of demand. We consolidated our logistics for both our wholesale and retail divisions resulting in one major wholesale distribution center and 17 retail service centers operated by the Company.

 

We have also changed our retail footprint. Where it made sense, we consolidated multiple design centers serving the same market into one, prominently located design center and closed underperforming locations. At March 31, 2011, the Company operated 145 design centers compared with 159 at June 30, 2009. Independent retailers operated 136 design centers at March 31, 2011 compared with 134 at June 30, 2009, with eighteen more international design centers than at June 30, 2009. The increase in international design centers improved our international net sales to 7.0% of our consolidated net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, with most of the improvement coming from China.

 

We continue to see improvement in consumer spending.  For both our wholesale and retail business segments, we’ve had five consecutive quarters of year over year sales growth.  The Company’s written business for the quarter was the highest since the quarter ended June 2008.  We’ve also had our first three consecutive quarterly profits since December 2008.  We have been hiring associates to support the ramping up of production in our manufacturing.  We have been adding highly skilled interior designers in our retail division, and continuing our spending in marketing and advertising to drive consumer traffic. In taking these actions to grow the business, we remain cautious but optimistic.

 

Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2010

 

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 10.6% to $162.8 million, from $147.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, with increases in both the wholesale and retail segments. Written orders and backlogs also increased over the prior year for both segments.  We attribute this growth to (i) continued new and innovative marketing initiatives including promotional pricing and our interactive web site ethanalleninc.com, (ii) a significant increase in both national television and direct mail media, where we continue to emphasize to our target audience our interior design services and the full line of our quality product offerings, (iii) increased use of digital communication including periodic distribution of e-magazines to increase client exposures and drive traffic to our website and design centers, (iv) an increase in the number of our highly skilled interior designers and other retail associates, and (v) our continued repositioning of the retail network.

 

Wholesale revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 7.8% to $104.1 million from $96.6 million in the prior year comparable period.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the incoming order rate due to promotional activities, our ability to increase production through operating efficiencies, staffing increases, and to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of total design centers globally from 278 last year to 281.  These favorable factors were partially offset by continued challenging conditions in the home furnishings market. The independently operated retail network grew by four design centers to 136 at March 31, 2011 but there was one less

Ethan Allen-operated design center.  There was also one additional shipping day in the current quarter compared to last year. Included in wholesale revenue is $5.2 million awaiting delivery to a customer in China pursuant to a warehouse arrangement described under “Critical Accounting Policies, Revenue Recognition” above.

 

Retail revenue from Ethan Allen-operated design centers for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 9.3% to $117.0 million from $107.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  We believe the increase in retail sales by Ethan Allen-operated design centers is due to our promotional marketing campaigns and the design solutions approach of our interior design professionals, increases in both our national television and direct mail media campaigns, our digital communications to prospective clients, the positive effects of repositioning the retail network, and an increase in the number of highly skilled interior designers and other retail associates.  These favorable factors were partially offset by a net decline of one Ethan Allen-operated design center between March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.  We ended the current quarter with 145 Ethan Allen-operated design centers; including five acquired from independent dealers since March 31, 2010.

 

Comparable design centers are those which have been operating for at least 15 months.  Minimal net sales, derived from the delivery of customer ordered product, are generated during the first three months of operations of newly opened (including relocated) design centers. Design centers acquired by us from independent retailers are included in comparable design centers sales in their 13th full month of Ethan Allen-owned operations.  Quarter-over-quarter, written business of Ethan Allen-operated design centers increased 11.4% while comparable design centers written business increased 13.4%. Over that same period, there was a 20.6% increase in wholesale orders. The frequency of our promotional events as well as the timing of the end of those events can impact the orders booked during a given quarter.

 

We have made considerable investment within the retail network to strengthen the level of service, professionalism, interior design competence, efficiency, and effectiveness of the retail design center personnel.  We believe that over time, we will continue to benefit from (i) our repositioning of the retail network, (ii) new product introductions, (iii) new marketing promotions, and our interior design affiliate (IDA) program, (iv) continued use of technology including our state-of-the-art website coupled with personal service from our design professionals, and (v) ongoing use of targeted advertising media.

 

Gross profit increased during the quarter to $83.1 million (51.0% of net sales) from $72.0 million (48.9% of net sales) in the prior year comparable quarter.  The 15.4% increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to (i) streamlined and more efficient manufacturing including lower fixed costs with fewer manufacturing plants this year, whereas during the prior year both the ramping up of upholstery production and the transition to custom case goods were under way, (ii) an overall increase in net sales of 10.6%, with increases in shipments in both market segments, and (iii) net improved pricing.  The sales mix had a slightly unfavorable shift with retail sales representing a lower proportionate share of total sales in the current quarter (72%) compared to the prior year period (73%).

 

Operating profit, the elements of which are discussed in greater detail below, was impacted by the following items during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

Operating expenses increased 4.6% in absolute terms to $78.3 million from $74.9 million in the prior year quarter, but decreased as a percent of sales to 48.1% from 50.8% of sales in the prior year quarter. The dollar increase was driven primarily by higher selling and delivery costs from the higher net sales and a 31% increase in advertising expenses, primarily an increase in direct mail campaigns.

 

Consolidated operating income (loss) for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was income of $4.8 million, or 2.9% of sales, as compared to a loss of $2.8 million, or a negative 1.9% of sales, for the three months

ended March 31, 2010.  This improvement of $7.6 million is due mostly to the increased sales and operating efficiencies noted earlier.

 

Wholesale operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13.3 million, or 12.7% of sales, as compared to $6.7 million, or 7.0% of sales, in the prior year comparable quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume and operating efficiencies of our manufacturing plants and wholesale logistics operations.

 

Retail operating loss was $7.3 million, or a negative 6.2% of sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a loss of $10.4 million, or a negative 9.7% of sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  The improvement was primarily due to higher sales and cost savings from cost cutting actions taken, which were partly offset by costs related to the increase in the number of retail associates.

 

Interest and other miscellaneous income, net increased $0.2 million from the prior year comparable quarter.

 

Interest and other related financing costs amounted to $2.8 million in the current quarter as compared to $3.0 million in the prior year comparable quarter.  This amount consists primarily of interest expense on our senior unsecured debt.  During the current quarter, an aggregate of $19.8 million of this debt was repurchased in unsolicited transactions.

 

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $0.4 million as compared to a benefit of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was a negative 13.0% compared to a positive 82.6% in the prior year quarter. The current quarter effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income more than offset by a tax benefit from the reduction in valuation allowance due to a decrease in deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance. The current rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain federal statutes of limitation largely offset by additional state tax contingency reserves for various states where the Company is currently under audit.

 

The prior period effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the tax benefit recorded on the quarterly loss for the prior year quarter.  The tax benefit was partially offset by the foreign valuation allowance on the Canadian net operating losses, state valuation allowance on certain state net operating losses, and by state income tax expense in states where the Company’s subsidiaries filed on a separate company basis. The prior period rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation causing certain unrecognized tax benefits to be recognized.

 

Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was income of $3.5 million as compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the prior year comparable period.  This resulted in net income per diluted share of $0.12 in the current quarter compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.03 in the prior year quarter.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010

 

Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased 17.4% to $501.0 million, from $426.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, with increases in both the wholesale and retail segments for all three quarters. This improvement partly reflects the strong increase in new orders, as well as our ability to increase production to service our backlog.  We attribute this growth to (i) continued new and innovative marketing initiatives including promotional pricing and our interactive web site ethanalleninc.com, (ii) the continued use of national television media and an increase in direct mail media, emphasizing to targeted audiences our interior design services and the full line of our quality product offerings, (iii) increased use of digital communication including periodic distribution of e-magazines to increase client exposures and drive traffic to our website and design centers, and (iv) the positive effects of repositioning the retail network.

Table of Contents

 

Wholesale revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased 19.1% to $312.5 million from $262.4 million in the prior year comparable period.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the incoming order rate due to our special savings promotions as well as our ability to increase production through operating efficiencies, and increased staffing.  These favorable factors also included an increase in the number of total design centers globally from 278 last year to 281. The independently operated retail network grew by four design centers to 136 at March 31, 2011 but there was one less Ethan Allen-operated design center as noted below. The number of shipping days was constant in both the current and prior nine month period.

 

Retail revenue from Ethan Allen-operated design centers for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased 16.3% to $369.1 million from $317.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  We believe the increase in retail sales by Ethan Allen-operated design centers is due to our promotional marketing campaigns, our use of national television and direct mail media campaigns, our digital communications to prospective clients, and the positive effects of repositioning the retail network.  There was a net decrease in the number of Ethan Allen-operated design centers to 145 as of March 31, 2011 as compared to 146 as of March 31, 2010.  We closed six design centers since March 31, 2010, including four in the current fiscal year.

 

Comparable design centers are those which have been operating for at least 15 months.  Minimal net sales, derived from the delivery of customer ordered product, are generated during the first three months of operations of newly opened (including relocated) design centers. Design centers acquired by us from independent retailers are included in comparable design centers sales in their 13th full month of Ethan Allen-owned operations.  Year-over-year, written business of Ethan Allen-operated design centers increased 5.2% while comparable design centers written business increased 9.4%.  Over that same period, there was a 9.7% increase in wholesale orders.

 

We have made considerable investment within the retail network to strengthen the level of service, professionalism, interior design competence, efficiency, and effectiveness of the retail design center personnel.  We believe that over time, we will benefit from (i) our repositioning of the retail network, (ii) new product introductions, (iii) new marketing promotions, and our interior design affiliate (IDA) program, (iv) continued use of technology including our state-of-the-art website coupled with personal service from our design professionals, and (v) ongoing use of targeted advertising media.

 

Gross profit increased during the period to $255.3 million (51.0% of net sales) from $199.4 million (46.7% of net sales) in the prior year comparable period.  The 28.1% increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in net sales of 17.4%, with an overall increase in shipments in both market segments, (ii) streamlined and more efficient manufacturing, resulting in decreased fixed costs due to fewer manufacturing plants than in the prior year, (iii) a $6.6 million reduction due to accelerated depreciation charges in the prior year related to restructuring actions that did not recur in the current year, and (iv) a modest sales price increase.

 

Operating profit, the elements of which are discussed in greater detail below, was impacted by the following items during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

Operating expenses increased 5.0% in absolute terms to $234.7 million from $223.6 million in the prior year period, but decreased as a percent of sales to 46.8% from 52.4% of sales in the prior year period.  Operating expenses increased on higher variable selling expenses on the higher net sales and increased advertising expenses, but were down as a percentage of sales.

 

Consolidated operating income (loss) for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 was income of $20.6 million, or 4.1% of sales, as compared to a loss of $24.2 million, or a negative 5.7% of sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  This improvement of $44.8 million is due mostly to the increased sales and operating efficiencies realized this year, and the absence in the current year of the $6.6 million accelerated depreciation incurred in the prior year.

Table of Contents

 

Wholesale operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $35.1 million, or 11.2% of sales, as compared to $3.1 million, or 1.2% of sales, in the prior year comparable period. The increase of $32.0 million was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume and current year efficiencies and savings relating to the closure of certain manufacturing plants, as well as the absence in the current year of the $6.6 million accelerated depreciation incurred in the prior year.

 

Retail operating loss was $12.8 million, or a negative 3.5% of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to a loss of $31.5 million, or a negative 9.9% of sales, for the comparable period of fiscal 2010.  The improvement was primarily due to current year improvement in sales as well as cost savings from the cost cutting actions taken.

 

Interest and other miscellaneous income, net increased $2.7 million from the prior year comparable period.  The increase was primarily due to the recording of a $1.5 million out of period adjustment related to non-operating income recorded in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

Interest and other related financing costs were $8.6 million in the current year and $8.9 million in the prior year.  This amount consists primarily of interest expense on our senior unsecured debt.

 

Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $4.6 million as compared to a benefit of $12.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate for the current period was a negative 26.7% compared to a positive 41.6% in the prior year to date. The nine month year to date effective tax rate includes tax expense on the nine month year to date net income offset by a larger tax benefit from the reduction in valuation allowance due to a decrease in deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance. The rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain federal statutes of limitation largely offset by additional state tax contingency reserves for various states where the Company is currently under audit.

 

The prior period effective tax rate is primarily related to the tax benefit on the prior period loss. The tax benefit was partially offset by the foreign valuation allowance on the Canadian net operating losses, by state valuation allowance on certain state net operating losses and by state income tax expense in states where the Company’s subsidiaries filed on a separate company basis.  The prior period rate was also impacted by a net tax benefit from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation causing certain unrecognized tax benefits to be recognized.

 

Net income (loss) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was income of $22.1 million as compared to a loss of $17.8 million in the prior year comparable period.  This resulted in net income per diluted share of $0.76 in the current period compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.61 in the prior year period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2011, we held cash and cash equivalents of $70.8 million, marketable securities of $13.0 million, and restricted cash and investments of $16.4 million.  Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash flow from operations, amounts available under our Amended Facility (as defined below), and other borrowings.

 

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1.  We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes.  During the current fiscal year, the Company repurchased $26.6 million of the Senior Notes in several unsolicited transactions.

In March 2011, the Company amended its $60 million senior secured, asset-based, revolving credit facility which was due to expire in fiscal 2012.  As amended, this facility (the “Amended Facility”) provides revolving credit financing of up to $50 million, subject to borrowing base availability, and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million either with existing or additional lenders subject to certain conditions.  The Amended Facility was extended by approximately four years to March 25, 2016, or to June 26, 2015 if the Company’s 5.375% long term bonds have not been refinanced. At the Company’s option, revolving loans under the Amended Facility bear interest at an annual rate of either:

 

(a)                   London Interbank Offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.0% to 2.5%, based on the average availability, or

(b)                  The higher of (i) a prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% plus, in each case, an additional 1.0% to 1.5%, based on average availability.

 

The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Amended Facility and participation fees on issued letters of credit at an annual rate of 1.0% to 2.5%, based on the average availability and the letter of credit type.  If the average monthly availability is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the aggregate commitment and (ii) $6.3 million, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1 to 1 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Certain payments are restricted if the availability of the collateral supporting the facility falls below $10 million or 20% of the facility size.

 

The Amended Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt; engage in mergers and consolidations; make restricted payments (including dividends); sell certain assets; and make investments.  At March 31, 2011, we had no revolving loans and $0.7 million of standby and trade letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Facility. Remaining availability under the facility totaled $49.3 million subject to limitations set forth in the agreement and as a result, the coverage charge ratio, and other restricted payment limitations did not apply.

 

As of March 31, 2011, we are in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Facility and our Senior Notes.

The following discussion compares the nine month period ended March 31 2011 to the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.  Cash provided by operating activities increased $7.0 million in the current fiscal period.  This occurred due to a $39.8 million improvement in net income, driven primarily by a $74.3 million (17.4%) increase in sales, and operating efficiencies.  This was partly offset by a $37.9 million decrease in cash generated from working capital (accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid and other current assets, customer deposits, payables, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities).  The decrease in cash generated from working capital was primarily attributable to lower benefit from changes in customer deposits and inventories in the current year.

 

Investing Activities

 

Comparing the same nine month periods in fiscal year 2011 to fiscal 2010, $2.8 million less was spent during fiscal 2011 in investing activities.  This reduction in spending was primarily attributable to two events that occurred in the prior fiscal year.  We transferred $11.3 million of cash into a restricted cash investment account and cancelled a letter of credit for the same amount, on which we had been paying interest.  This was partly offset by proceeds from the disposal of real estate properties.  During fiscal 2011 , we continued our capital spending at a reduced rate.  We anticipate that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund future capital expenditures.

 

Financing Activities

 

As compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010, $31.3 million more cash was used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to the $26.6 million of Senior Note repurchases and $5.4 million of stock repurchases settled in fiscal 2011.  The Company has continuously paid dividends every quarter since 1996 and we expect to continue to do so as economic conditions and liquidity permit.

As of March 31, 2011, our outstanding debt totaled $176.8 million, the current and long-term portions of which amounted to $3.9 million and $173.0 million, respectively.  The aggregate scheduled maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five fiscal years are: $3.9 million in fiscal 2011, and less than $0.1 million in each of fiscal 2012 through 2015.  The balance of our long-term Senior Notes ($172.8 million) matures in September 2015 (fiscal 2016).

 

There has been no material change to the amount or timing of cash payments related to our outstanding contractual obligations as set forth in Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2010.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our other available sources of liquidity, will be adequate to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt, to permit anticipated capital expenditures, and to fund working capital and other cash requirements.  As of March 31, 2011, we had working capital of $118.8 million compared to $114.0 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of $4.8 million (4.2%).    The Company had a current ratio of 1.9 to 1 at March 31, 2011 and 1.8 to 1 at June 30, 2010.

 

In addition to using available cash to fund changes in working capital, necessary capital expenditures, acquisition activity, the repayment of debt, the payment of dividends and debt repurchases, we have been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase our common stock, from time to time, either directly or through agents, in the open market at prices and on terms satisfactory to us. All of our common stock repurchases and retirements are recorded as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we repurchased and/or retired the following shares of our common stock:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations

 

We do not utilize or employ any off-balance sheet arrangements, including special-purpose entities, in operating our business.  As such, we do not maintain any (i) retained or contingent interests, (ii) derivative instruments (other than as specified below), or (iii) variable interests which could serve as a source of potential risk to our future liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.

 

We may, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, provide guarantees on behalf of selected affiliated entities or become contractually obligated to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain business agreements. The nature and extent of these guarantees and obligations may vary based on our underlying relationship with the benefiting party and the business purpose for which the guarantee or obligation is being provided. The only such program in place at March 31, 2011 was for our consumer credit program.

 

Ethan Allen Consumer Credit Program

 

The terms and conditions of our consumer credit program, which is financed and administered by a third-party financial institution on a non-recourse basis to Ethan Allen, are set forth in an agreement between the Company and that financial service provider (the “Program Agreement”).  In February and June 2010, the Company

modified the Program Agreement to comply with recent changes in laws and made certain other changes to fees payable to the service provider. Any independent retailer choosing to participate in the consumer credit program is required to enter into a separate agreement with that same third-party financial institution which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the retailer is to perform in connection with its offering of consumer credit to its customers (the “Retailer Agreement”). We have obligated ourselves on behalf of any independent retailer choosing to participate in our consumer credit program by agreeing, in the event of default, breach, or failure of the independent retailer to perform under such Retailer Agreement, to take on certain responsibilities of the independent retailer, including, but not limited to, delivery of goods and reimbursement of customer deposits. Customer receivables originated by independent retailers remain non-recourse to Ethan Allen. Our obligation remains in effect for the term of the Program Agreement that expires in July 2014. While the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that we could be required to make under this obligation is indeterminable, recourse provisions exist that would enable us to recover, from the independent retailer, any amount paid or incurred by us related to our performance. Based on the underlying creditworthiness of our independent retailers, including their historical ability to satisfactorily perform in connection with the terms of our consumer credit program, we believe this obligation will expire without requiring funding by us. To ensure funding for delivery of products sold, the terms of this agreement also contain a right for the credit card issuer to demand from the Company collateral of up to $12 million if the Company does not meet certain covenants.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company had established a restricted cash and investment collateral account of $6 million to satisfy the current collateral requirement.

 

Product Warranties

 

Our products, including our case goods, upholstery and home accents, generally carry explicit product warranties that extend from one to ten years and are provided based on terms that are generally accepted in the industry.  All of our domestic independent retailers are required to enter into, and perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of, a warranty service agreement. We record provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and make periodic adjustments to those provisions to reflect actual experience. On rare occasion, certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation.  In certain cases, a material warranty issue may arise which is beyond the scope of our historical experience. We provide for such warranty issues as they become known and are deemed to be both probable and estimable. It is reasonably possible that, from time to time, additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of our historical experience. As of March 31, 2011, our product warranty liability totaled $0.7 million.

 

Business Outlook

 

Our year-over-year increases in sales for both business segments, strong incoming orders during the current quarter, and three quarters of profitability are indicators that the overall business climate for the Company is improving somewhat.  Although some of the economic factors we feel are important to our customer base including housing values, housing turnover, and home mortgage and other consumer credit availability have not improved meaningfully, customers are nevertheless returning to our design centers and buying our quality products. We will continue to hire for both our manufacturing and retail operations, and continue to invest in advertising in new and creative ways to drive traffic to our design centers.  We remain cautiously optimistic about our long-term outlook.

 

As macro-economic factors change, it is also possible that our costs associated with production (including raw materials and labor), distribution (including freight and fuel charges), and retail operations (including compensation and benefits, delivery and warehousing, occupancy, and advertising expenses) may increase.  We may also experience production difficulties as we continue to increase capacity of our remaining manufacturing plants to match demand, and to improve efficiency in our custom case goods production.  We cannot reasonably

predict when, or to what extent, such events may occur or what effect, if any, such events may have on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

The home furnishings industry remains extremely competitive with respect to both the sourcing of products and the wholesale and retail sale of those products. Domestic manufacturers continue to face pricing pressures because of the manufacturing capabilities of other countries, particularly within Asia. In response to these pressures, a large number of U.S. furniture manufacturers have increased their overseas sourcing to retain market share. While we have also turned to overseas sourcing to remain competitive, we choose to differentiate ourselves by maintaining a substantial domestic manufacturing base.  Consequently, we make and/or assemble over 70% of our products domestically.  We continue to believe that a balanced approach to product sourcing, which includes the domestic manufacture of certain product offerings coupled with the import of other selected products, provides the greatest degree of flexibility and is the most effective approach to ensuring that acceptable levels of quality, service and value are attained.

 

Our retail strategy involves (i) a continued focus on providing a wide array of product solutions and superior interior design solutions, (ii) the opening of new or relocated design centers in more prominent locations, while encouraging independent retailers to do the same, and (iii) leveraging the use of technology and personal service within our retail network, and (iv) further expansion internationally.  We believe this strategy provides an opportunity to grow our business.

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Vice President-Finance (“VPF”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the CEO and VPF have concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries), which is required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and VPF, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
