PART I
Item 1. Business.
Dorman
Products, Inc. (formerly R&B, Inc.) was incorporated in Pennsylvania in
October 1978. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, "Dorman",
the "Company", “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to Dorman Products, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
We are a
leading supplier of original equipment dealer "exclusive" automotive replacement
parts, and fasteners and service line products primarily for the automotive
aftermarket, a market segment which we helped to establish. We design, package
and market over 92,000 different automotive replacement parts (including brake
parts), fasteners and service line products manufactured to our specifications.
Approximately 35% of our parts and 69% of our net sales consist of original
equipment dealer "exclusive" parts and fasteners. Original equipment dealer
"exclusive" parts are those which were traditionally available to consumers only
from original equipment manufacturers or salvage yards and include, among other
parts, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, oil cooler lines, window regulators,
radiator fan assemblies, power steering pulleys and harmonic balancers.
Fasteners include such items as oil drain plugs and wheel lug nuts.
Approximately 90% of our products are sold under our brand names and the
remainder is sold for resale under customers' private labels, other brands or in
bulk. Our products are sold primarily in the United States through automotive
aftermarket retailers (such as AutoZone, Advance and O'Reilly), national,
regional and local warehouse distributors (such as Carquest and NAPA) and
specialty markets and salvage yards. Through our Scan-Tech subsidiary and Dorman
Canada business unit, we are increasing our international distribution of
automotive replacement parts, with sales into Canada, Europe, the Middle East
and the Far East.
The Automotive Aftermarket
The
automotive replacement parts market is made up of two components: parts for
passenger cars and light trucks, which accounted for sales of approximately
$215.5 billion in 2008, and parts for medium and heavy duty trucks, which
accounted for sales of approximately $75.2 billion in 2008. We currently market
products primarily for passenger cars and light trucks.
Two
distinct groups of end-users buy replacement automotive parts: (i) individual
consumers, who purchase parts to perform "do-it-yourself" repairs on their own
vehicles; and (ii) professional installers, which include automotive repair
shops and the service departments of automobile dealers. The individual consumer
market is typically supplied through retailers and through the retail arms of
warehouse distributors. Automotive repair shops generally purchase parts through
local independent parts wholesalers and through national warehouse distributors.
Automobile dealer service departments generally obtain parts through the
distribution systems of automobile manufacturers and specialized national and
regional warehouse distributors.
The
increasing complexity of automobiles and the number of different makes and
models of automobiles have resulted in a significant increase in the number of
products required to service the domestic and foreign automotive fleet.
Accordingly, the number of parts required to be carried by retailers and
wholesale distributors has increased substantially. These market pressures to
include more products in inventory and the significant consolidation among
distributors of automotive replacement parts have in turn resulted in larger
distributors.
Retailers
and others who purchase aftermarket automotive repair and replacement parts for
resale are constrained to a finite amount of space in which to display and stock
products. Thus, the reputation for quality, customer service, and line
profitability which a supplier enjoys is a significant factor in a purchaser's
decision as to which product lines to carry in the limited space available.
Further, because of the efficiencies achieved through the ability to order all
or part of a complete line of products from one supplier (with possible volume
discounts), as opposed to satisfying the same requirements through a variety of
different sources, retailers and other purchasers of automotive parts seek to
purchase products from fewer but stronger suppliers.
We sell
over 92,000 different automotive replacement parts, fasteners and service line
products to meet a variety of needs including original equipment dealer
"exclusive" parts. Our DORMAN® NEW SINCE 1918™ marketing campaign launched in
2005 repositioned our brands under a single corporate umbrella - DORMAN®. All of
our products are now sold under one of the seven DORMAN® sub-brands as
follows:

Scan-Tech®
|
-

|
The
remainder of our revenues are generated by the sale of parts that we package for
ourselves, or others, for sale in bulk or under the private labels of parts
manufacturers and national warehouse distributors (such as Carquest and NAPA).
During the years ended December 2008, 2007, and 2006, no single product or
related group of products accounted for more than 10% of gross
sales.
We
warrant our products against certain defects in material and workmanship when
used as designed on the vehicle on which it was originally installed. We offer a
one year, two year, or limited lifetime warranty depending on the product type.
All warranties limit the customer’s remedy to the repair or replacement of the
part that is defective.
Product Development
Product
development is central to our business. The development of a broad range of
products, many of which are not conveniently or economically available
elsewhere, has in part, enabled us to grow to our present size and is important
to our future growth. In developing our products, our strategy has been to
design and package parts so as to make them better and easier to install and/or
use than the original parts they replace and to sell automotive parts for the
broadest possible range of uses. Through careful evaluation, exacting design and
precise tooling, we are frequently able to offer products which fit a broader
range of makes and models than the original equipment parts they replace, such
as an innovative neoprene replacement oil drain plug which fits not only a
variety of Chevrolet models, but also Fords, Chryslers and a range of foreign
makes. This assists retailers and other purchasers in maximizing the
productivity of the limited space available for each class of part sold.
Further, where possible, the Company improves its parts so they are better than
the parts they replace. Thus, many of the our products are simpler to install or
use, such as a replacement "split boot" for a constant velocity joint that can
be installed without disassembling the joint itself and a replacement spare tire
hold-down bolt that is longer and easier to thread than the original equipment
bolt it replaced. In addition, we often package different items in complete kits
to ease installation.
Ideas for
expansion of our product lines arise through a variety of sources. We maintain
an in-house product management staff that routinely generates ideas for new
parts and expansion of existing lines. Further, we maintain an "800" telephone
number and an Internet site for "New Product Suggestions" and receive, either
directly or through our sales force, many ideas from our customers as to which
types of presently unavailable parts the ultimate consumers are
seeking.
Each new
product idea is reviewed by our product management staff, as well as by members
of the production, sales, finance, marketing, and administrative staffs. In
determining whether to produce an individual part or a line of related parts, we
consider the number of vehicles of a particular model to which the part may be
applied, the potential for modifications which will allow the product to be used
over a broad range of makes and models, the average age of the vehicles in which
the part would be used and the failure rate of the part in question. This review
process narrows the many new product suggestions down to those most likely to
enhance our existing product lines or to support new product lines.
Sales and Marketing
We market
our products to three groups of purchasers who in turn supply individual
consumers and professional installers:
(i)
Approximately 43% of our revenues are generated from sales to automotive
aftermarket retailers (such as AutoZone, Advance and O'Reilly), local
independent parts wholesalers and national general merchandise chain retailers.
We sell some of our products to virtually all major chains of automotive
aftermarket retailers;
(ii)
Approximately 34% of our revenues are generated from sales to warehouse
distributors (such as Carquest and NAPA), which may be local, regional or
national in scope, and which may also engage in retail sales; and
(iii) The
balance of our revenues (approximately 23%) are generated from international
sales and sales to special markets, which include, among others, mass merchants
(such as Wal-Mart), salvage yards and the parts distribution systems of parts
manufacturers.
We use a
number of different methods to sell our products. Our more than 40 person direct
sales force solicits purchases of our products directly from customers, as well
as managing the activities of 20 independent manufacturers’ representative
agencies. We use independent manufacturers’ representative agencies to help
service existing retail and warehouse distribution customers, providing frequent
on-site contact. The sales focus is designed to increase sales by adding new
product lines and expanding product selection within existing customers and
secure new customers. For certain of our major customers, and our private label
purchasers, we rely primarily upon the direct efforts of our sales force, who,
together with the marketing department and our executive officers, coordinate
the more complex pricing and ordering requirements of these
accounts.
Our sales
efforts are not directed merely at selling individual products, but rather more
broadly towards selling groups of related products that can be displayed on
attractive Dorman-designed display systems, thereby maximizing each customer's
ability to present our product line within the confines of the available
area.
We
prepare a number of catalogs, application guides and training materials designed
to describe our products and other applications as well as to train our
customers' salesmen in the promotion and sale of our products. Every two to
three years we prepare a new master catalog which lists all of our products. The
catalog is updated periodically through supplements.
We
currently service more than 2,500 active accounts. During 2008, 2007 and 2006,
three customers (AutoZone, Advance and O’Reilly) each accounted for more than
10% of net sales and in the aggregate accounted for 40%, 38% and 40% of net
sales, respectively.
Substantially
all of our products are manufactured to our specifications by third parties.
Because numerous contract manufacturers are available to manufacture our
products, we are not dependent upon the services of any one contract
manufacturer or any small group of them. No one vendor supplies more than 10% of
our products. In 2008, as a percentage of our total dollar volume of purchases,
approximately 20% of our products were purchased from various suppliers
throughout the United States and the balance of our products were purchased
directly from vendors in a variety of foreign countries.
Once a
new product has been developed, our engineering department produces detailed
engineering drawings and prototypes which are used to solicit bids for
manufacture from a variety of vendors in the United States and abroad. After a
vendor is selected, tooling for a production run is produced by the vendor at
our expense. A pilot run of the product is produced and subjected to rigorous
testing by our engineering department and, on occasion, by outside testing
laboratories and facilities in order to evaluate the precision of manufacture
and the resiliency and structural integrity of the materials used. If
acceptable, the product then moves into full production.
Packaging, Inventory and Shipping
Finished
products are received at one or more of our facilities, depending on the type of
part. It is our practice to inspect samples of shipments based upon vendor
performance. If cleared, these shipments of finished parts are logged into our
computerized production tracking systems and staged for packaging.
We employ
a variety of custom-designed packaging machines which include blister sealing,
skin film sealing, clamshell sealing, bagging and boxing lines. Packaged product
contains our label (or a private label), a part number, a universal packaging
bar code suitable for electronic scanning, a description of the part and, if
appropriate, installation instructions. Products are also sold in bulk to
automotive parts manufacturers and packagers. Computerized tracking systems,
mechanical counting devices and experienced workers combine to assure that the
proper variety and numbers of parts meet the correct packaging materials at the
appropriate places and times to produce the required quantities of finished
products.
Completed
inventory is stocked in the warehouse portions of our facilities and is stored
and organized to facilitate the most efficient methods of retrieving product to
fill customer orders. We strive to maintain a level of inventory to adequately
meet current customer order demand with additional inventory to satisfy new
customer orders and special programs. We maintain a "safety stock" of inventory
to compensate for fluctuations in demand and delivery.
We ship
our products from all of our locations by contract carrier, common carrier or
parcel service. Products are generally shipped to the customer's main warehouse
for redistribution within their network. In certain circumstances, at the
request of the customer, we ship directly to the customer's stores either via
smaller direct ship orders or consolidated store orders that are cross
docked.
The
replacement automotive parts industry is highly competitive. Various competitive
factors affecting the automotive aftermarket are price, product quality, breadth
of product line, range of applications and customer service. Substantially all
of our products are subject to competition with similar products manufactured by
other manufacturers of aftermarket automotive repair and replacement parts. Some
of these competitors are divisions and subsidiaries of companies much larger
than us, and possess a longer history of operations and greater financial and
other resources than we do. Further, some of our private label customers also
compete with us.
Proprietary Rights
While we
take steps to register our trademarks when possible, we do not believe that
trademark registration is generally important to our business. Similarly, while
we actively seek patent protection for the products and improvements which we
develop, we do not believe that patent protection is generally important to our
business.
At
December 27, 2008, we had 966 employees worldwide, of whom 956 were employed
full-time and 10 were employed part-time. Of these employees, 584 were engaged
in production, inventory, or quality control, 23 were involved in engineering,
product development and brand management, 54 were employed in sales and order
entry, and the remaining 305, including our 5 executive officers, were devoted
to administration, finance, legal, and strategic planning.
No
domestic employees are covered by any collective bargaining agreement.
Approximately 31 employees at our Swedish subsidiary are governed by a national
union. We consider our relations with our employees to be generally
good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the following factors, which could materially affect our business,
financial condition or future results. The risks described below are not the
only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us
or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our
business, financial conditions or results of operations.
Competition
for Shelf Space. Since the amount of space available to a retailer and other
purchasers of our products is limited, our products compete with other
automotive aftermarket products, some of which are entirely dissimilar and
otherwise non-competitive (such as car waxes and engine oil), for shelf and
floor space. No assurance can be given that additional space will be available
in our customers' stores to support expansion of the number of products that we
offer.
Concentration
of Sales to Certain Customers. A significant percentage of our sales has been,
and will continue to be, concentrated among a relatively small number of
customers. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, three customers (AutoZone, Advance, and
O’Reilly) each accounted for more than 10% of net sales and in the aggregate
accounted for 40%, 38% and 40 % of net sales,
respectively. We anticipate that this concentration of sales among
customers will continue in the future. The loss of a significant customer or a
substantial decrease in sales to such a customer could have a material adverse
effect on our sales and operating results. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Business-Sales
and Marketing" sections of this Form 10-K.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. All cash equivalents are managed within established
guidelines which limit the amount which may be invested with one issuer. A
significant percentage of our accounts receivable have been, and will continue
to be concentrated among a relatively small number of automotive retailers and
warehouse distributors in the United States. Our five largest customers
accounted for 81% and 71% of total accounts receivable as of December 27, 2008
and December 29, 2007, respectively. Management continually monitors the credit
terms and credit limits to these and other customers.
Customer
Terms. The automotive aftermarket has been consolidating over the past several
years. As a result, many of our customers have grown larger and therefore have
more leverage in negotiations. Customers press for extended payment terms and
returns of slow moving product when negotiating with us. While we attempt to
avoid or minimize such concessions, in some cases payment terms to customers
have been extended and returns of product have exceeded historical levels. The
product returns primarily affect our profit levels while terms extensions
generally reduce operating cash flow and require additional capital to finance
the business. We expect both of these trends to continue for the foreseeable
future.
Foreign
Currency Fluctuations. In 2008, 80% of our products were purchased from
suppliers located in a variety of foreign countries. The products generally are
purchased through purchase orders with the purchase price specified in U.S.
dollars. Accordingly, we do not have exposure to fluctuations in the
relationship between the dollar and various foreign currencies between the time
of execution of the purchase order and payment for the product. However,
weakness in the dollar has resulted in some materials price increases and
pressure from several foreign suppliers to increase prices. To the extent that
the dollar decreases in value to foreign currencies in the future or the present
weakness in the dollar continues for a sustained period of time, the price of
the product in dollars for new purchase orders may increase
further.
The
largest portion of our overseas purchases come from China. The value
of the Chinese Yuan has increased relative to the U.S. Dollar since July 2005
when it was allowed to fluctuate against a basket of currencies. Most
experts believe that the value of the Yuan will increase further relative to the
U.S. Dollar over the next few years. Such a move would most likely
result in an increase in the cost of products that are purchased from
China.
Dependence
on Senior Management. The success of our business will continue to be dependent
upon Richard N. Berman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer and Steven L. Berman, President, Chief Operating Officer,
Secretary-Treasurer and Director. The loss of the services of one or both of
these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Dividend
Policy. We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
Rather, we intend to retain our earnings, if any, for the operation and
expansion of our business.
Control
by Officers, Directors and Family Members. As of March 2, 2009, Richard N.
Berman and Steven L. Berman, who are officers and directors of Dorman Products,
Inc., their father, Jordan S. Berman, and their brothers, Marc H. Berman and
Fred B. Berman beneficially own approximately 42% of the outstanding Common
Stock and are able to elect the Board of Directors, determine the outcome of
most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval (including certain
fundamental transactions) and control over our policies.
Increase
in OE Patent Filings. Recently, we have seen an increase in patent requests for
new designs made by original equipment manufacturers. If original equipment
manufacturers are able to obtain patents on new designs at a rate higher than
historical levels, we could be restricted or prohibited from selling aftermarket
products covered by such items, which could have an adverse impact on our
business.
Product
Quality. We have experienced, and in the future may experience,
reliability, quality, or compatibility problems in products after their
production and sale to customers. Product quality problems could
result in damage to reputation, loss of customers, a decrease in revenue,
unexpected expenses, and a loss of market share. We have invested and will
continue to invest in our engineering, design, and quality infrastructure in an
effort to reduce and eventually eliminate these problems.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
There are
no unresolved comments from the Commission staff regarding our periodic or
current reports under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
Item 2. Properties.
Facilities
We
currently have 13 warehouse and office facilities located throughout the United
States, Canada, Sweden, China and Korea. Two of these facilities are owned and
the remainder are leased. Our headquarters and principal warehouse facilities
are as follows:
|

_________________
(1) We
lease the Colmar facility from a partnership of which
Richard N. Berman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Steven L. Berman, President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company, their father, Jordan S. Berman, and their brothers,
Marc H. Berman and Fred B. Berman, are partners. Under the
lease we paid rent of $4.13 per square foot ($1.4 million per year) in 2008. The
rents payable will be adjusted on January 1 of each year to reflect annual
changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers - U.S. City Average,
All Items. In December, 2007, we executed a new five year lease for
the Colmar facility under substantially the same terms and conditions. In the
opinion of management, the terms of this lease are no less favorable than those
which could have been obtained from an unaffiliated party.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are a
party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary
course of business, such as various claims and legal actions involving
contracts, competitive practices, trademark rights, product liability claims and
other matters arising out of the conduct of our business. In the opinion of
management, none of the actions, individually or in the aggregate, would likely
have a material financial impact on the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.
There

representing more than 1,400 beneficial owners. The last price for our common
stock on March 2, 2009, as reported by NASDAQ, was $7.76 per share. Since our
initial public offering, we have paid no cash dividends. We do not presently
contemplate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. The range of
high and low sales prices for our common stock for each quarterly period of 2008
and 2007 are as follows:

In
February 2009, the Company filed a registration statement to register 1,000,000
shares of its common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options and options to be issued, if any, under the Company’s Amended and
Restated Incentive Stock Plan. Prior to this time, the Company’s
reserve of registered shares became depleted and the Company issued unregistered
shares upon exercise of options. Upon discovery of this matter, the
Company offered former option holders the ability to rescind these option
exercise transactions where registered shares were not actually available upon
exercise for all transactions which occurred within the relevant statute of
limitations period. The Company opted for rescission in lieu of
investigating the availability of exemptions from registration, given the time
and expense associated therewith. This rescission offer was effected
as a private placement which was exempted from registration pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain
statements in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While
forward-looking statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity,
they are based on various assumptions made by management regarding future
circumstances over many of which the Company has little or no control.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by words including “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” and similar expressions. The Company cautions
readers that forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those
relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, and
income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that would cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from
forward-looking statements include but are not limited to competition in the
automotive aftermarket industry, concentration of the Company’s sales and
accounts receivable among a small number of customers, the impact of
consolidation in the automotive aftermarket industry, foreign currency
fluctuations, dependence on senior management and other risks and factors
identified from time to time in the reports the Company files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or
projected. For additional information concerning factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the information contained in this report,
reference is made to the information in Part I, “Item 1A, Risk
Factors.”
Overview
We are a
leading supplier of original equipment dealer "exclusive" automotive replacement
parts, and fasteners and service line products primarily for the automotive
aftermarket, a market segment which we helped to establish. We design, package
and market over 92,000 different automotive replacement parts (including brake
parts), fasteners and service line products manufactured to our specifications.
Approximately 35% of our parts and 69% of our net sales consist of original
equipment dealer "exclusive" parts and fasteners. Original equipment dealer
"exclusive" parts are those which were traditionally available to consumers only
from original equipment manufacturers or salvage yards and include, among other
parts, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, oil cooler lines, window regulators,
radiator fan assemblies, power steering pulleys and harmonic balancers.
Fasteners include such items as oil drain plugs and wheel lug nuts.
Approximately 90% of our products are sold under our brand names and the
remainder is sold for resale under customers' private labels, other brands or in
bulk. Our products are sold primarily in the United States through automotive
aftermarket retailers (such as AutoZone, Advance and O'Reilly), national,
regional and local warehouse distributors (such as Carquest and NAPA) and
specialty markets and salvage yards. Through our Scan-Tech subsidiary and Dorman
Canada business unit, we are increasing our international distribution of
automotive replacement parts, with sales into Canada, Europe, the Middle East
and the Far East.
During
2008, there was a slowdown in overall global economic activity as well as
instability in the financial markets. These challenges have impacted
the global economy, the capital markets, our operating costs and demand for our
products. The results of these challenges include continued higher
material and oil-related costs, a liquidity strain on some of our customers and
suppliers, decreased consumer confidence and reduced consumer discretionary
spending. We expect these conditions to continue in the foreseeable
future.
The
credit markets have been volatile in recent quarters as well. To
succeed in this environment we are taking aggressive steps to further reduce all
areas of cost, conserve working capital and control capital
expenditures. Fortunately our balance sheet is strong and our
revolving credit facility does not mature until June 2010. The
strength of our balance sheet provides us with flexibility to expand or pursue
attractive opportunities that may present themselves in these difficult
times.
The
automotive aftermarket in which we compete has been growing in size; however,
the market continues to consolidate. As a result, our customers regularly seek
more favorable pricing, product returns and extended payment terms when
negotiating with us. While we attempt to avoid or minimize such concessions, in
some cases pricing concessions have been made, customer payment terms have been
extended and returns of product have exceeded historical levels. The product
returns and more favorable pricing primarily affect our profit levels while
terms extensions generally reduce operating cash flow and require additional
capital to finance the business. We expect both of these trends to continue for
the foreseeable future. Gross profit margins have declined over the past three
years as a result of this pricing pressure. Another contributing factor in our
gross profit margin decline is a shift in mix to higher priced, but lower gross
margin products. Both of these trends are expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. We have increased our focus on efficiency improvements and
product cost reduction initiatives to offset the impact of price
pressures.
In
addition, we are relying on new product development as a way to offset some of
these customer demands and as our primary vehicle for growth. As such, new
product development is a critical success factor for us. We have invested
heavily in resources necessary for us to increase our new product development
efforts and to strengthen our relationships with our customers. These
investments are primarily in the form of increased product development resources
and awareness programs and customer service improvements. This has enabled us to
provide an expanding array of new product offerings and grow our
revenues.
We may
experience significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter in our results of
operations due to the timing of orders placed by our customers. Generally, the
second and third quarters have the highest level of customer orders, but the
introduction of new products and product lines to customers may cause
significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter.
We
operate on a fifty-two, fifty-three week period ending on the last Saturday of
the calendar year. The fiscal years ended December 27, 2008, December 29, 2007
and December 30, 2006 are all fifty-two week periods.
Acquisition
and Sale of Assets
In
September 2007, we acquired certain assets of the Consumer Products Division of
Rockford Products Corporation (Consumer Division) for $3.4
million. The consolidated results for the period ended December 29,
2007 include the results of the Consumer Division effective September 10,
2007. We have not presented pro forma results of operations as these
results would not have been materially different than actual results for the
periods. In connection with the purchase, we recorded $1.1 million in
contract rights which are included in other assets, and are being amortized over
a 10 year period.
On May
15, 2008, we sold certain assets of our Canadian subsidiary for $0.9
million. We realized a $0.7 million tax benefit upon the disposition
of the business.
Asset
Write Downs and Valuation Allowances
During
the fourth quarter of 2007, we wrote down the value of the goodwill with respect
to our Canadian subsidiary (Hermoff) as a result of a strategic review of the
business. As a result we recorded an impairment charge of
approximately $0.4 million, which represented the remaining goodwill balance at
the subsidiary, in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we
recorded a $0.6 million charge to our provision for income taxes to provide a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of the subsidiary.
During
the second quarter of 2006, we assessed the value of the goodwill recorded at
our Swedish subsidiary (Scan-Tech) as a result of a review of the Scan-Tech
business in response to bad debt charge offs of two large customers and the
resulting loss of those customers in the first half of the year. After
completing the required analyses, we concluded that the goodwill at the
subsidiary was impaired. Accordingly, an impairment charge of approximately $2.9
million, which represented the entire goodwill balance at the subsidiary, was
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we recorded
a $0.3 million charge to our provision for income taxes to write off deferred
tax assets of the subsidiary which were deemed unrealizable.
Change in
Vacation Policy
Effective December 31, 2006, we changed
our vacation policy so that the current year's vacation time is earned ratably
throughout the current year. Prior to December 31, 2006, all rights
to the subsequent year's vacation vested to our employees on the last day of the
previous fiscal year and the corresponding liability was recorded in that
previous year. Since employees had vested all 2007 vacation time
prior to the beginning of 2007 under the old policy, no additional vacation time
was earned in 2007 and no expense was recorded. This change resulted
in a reduction in our vacation accrual of approximately $1.8 million in
2007. As a result, vacation expense in cost of goods sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses was reduced during each of the
fiscal quarters in 2007. Results for the year ended December 29, 2007
include vacation expense reductions of $0.4 million in cost of goods sold and
$1.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses,
respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations and
began expensing the grant-date fair value of employee stock
options. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), cash flows resulting
from tax deductions in excess of the tax effect of compensation cost recognized
in the financial statements is classified as financing cash flows.
Compensation
cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which
employees perform related services. The compensation cost charged against income
for each of the years ended December 27, 2008, December 29, 2007 and December
30, 2006 was $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million before taxes,
respectively. The compensation cost recognized is classified as selling, general
and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
operations.

Fiscal
Year Ended December 27, 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 29,
2007
Net sales
increased 4.5% to $342.3 million in 2008 from $327.7 million in
2007. Revenues increased primarily as a result of higher new product
sales and further penetration of existing automotive lines.
Cost of
goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 67.8% in 2008 from 65.7%
in the same period last year. The increase is primarily the result of
strategic investments to grow market share and higher material and shipping
costs caused by higher commodity price increases.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses in 2008 increased 4.7% to $81.8 million from
$78.1 million in 2007. The increase is the result of higher variable
costs related to our sales growth and increased staffing levels in product
development, engineering and quality control. These increases were
partially offset by incentive compensation expense which was $1.8 million lower
in 2008 than in the prior year due to lower earnings levels. Results
for 2007 also include a $1.4 million reduction in vacation expense due to the
vacation policy change mentioned above.
Interest
expense, net, decreased to $0.9 million in 2008 from $1.9 million in 2007 due to
lower borrowing levels and interest rates.
Our
effective tax rate decreased to 35.2% from 40.2% in the prior
year. The decrease is primarily the result of a $0.7 million tax
benefit realized upon the disposition of our Canadian subsidiary.
Fiscal
Year Ended December 29, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 30,
2006
Net sales
increased 10.8% to $327.7 million in 2007 from $295.8 million in
2006. Revenues increased primarily as a result of higher new product
sales and further penetration of existing automotive lines. The
favorable effect of foreign currency exchange and the acquisition of the
Consumer Division accounted for approximately 1% of the 2007 net sales
increase.
Cost of
goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 65.7% in 2007 from 65.0%
in the same period last year. The increase is primarily the result of
a less favorable product mix, an increase in costs related to replacement and
rework of defective products and higher product expediting costs. A
$1.6 million decrease in our provision for excess and slow moving
inventory partially offset the cost increases and the impact of the
mix shift.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses in 2007 increased 5.8% to $78.1 million from
$73.8 million in 2006. The increase is the result of higher variable
costs related to our 10.8% sales growth as well as our decision to invest more
resources in engineering and new product development in 2007. Results
for 2007 also include a $1.4 million reduction in vacation expense due to the
vacation policy change mentioned above.
As noted
above, we recorded charges of $0.4 million and $2.9 million in 2007 and 2006,
respectively, to write off goodwill of our Canadian and Swedish
subsidiaries.
Interest
expense, net, decreased to $1.9 million in 2007 from $2.3 million in 2006 due to
lower overall borrowing levels.
Our
effective tax rate decreased to 40.2% from 43.7% in the prior
year. The decrease is primarily the result of lower goodwill
impairment charges which were not tax deductible and, therefore, had no
associated tax benefit.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Historically,
we have financed our growth through a combination of cash flow from operations,
accounts receivable sales programs provided by certain customers and through the
issuance of senior indebtedness through our bank credit facility and senior note
agreements. At December 27, 2008, working capital was $160.2 million,
total long-term debt (including the current portion and revolving credit
borrowings) was $15.4 million and shareholders’ equity was $187.8
million. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 27, 2008 was $5.8
million.
Over the
past several years we have continued to extend payment terms to certain
customers as a result of customer requests and market demands. These
extended terms have resulted in increased accounts receivable levels and
significant uses of cash flow. We participate in accounts receivable
sales programs with several customers which allow us to sell our accounts
receivable on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions to offset the
negative cash flow impact of these payment terms extensions. As of
December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, we sold $55.0 million and $39.4 million
in accounts receivable under these programs and removed them from our balance
sheets based upon standard payment terms. We expect continued
pressure to extend our payment terms for the foreseeable
future. Further extensions of customer payment terms will result in
additional uses of cash flow or increased costs associated with the sale of
accounts receivable.
We have a
$30.0 million revolving credit facility which expires in June
2010. Borrowings under the facility are on an unsecured basis with
interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 150
basis points based upon the achievement of certain benchmarks related to the
ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. The interest rate at December 27,
2008 was LIBOR plus 65 basis points (1.12%). Borrowings under the
facility were $15.0 million as of December 27, 2008. We have
approximately $13.0 million available under the facility at December 27,
2008. The loan agreement also contains covenants, the most
restrictive of which pertain to net worth and the ratio of debt to
EBITDA.
We also have outstanding $0.4 million
under a commercial loan granted in connection with the opening of a distribution
facility which bears interest at 4% payable monthly. The principal
balance is paid monthly in equal installments through September
2013. The loan is secured by a letter of credit issued under our
revolving credit facility.
Our
business activities do not include the use of unconsolidated special purpose
entities, and there are no significant business transactions that have not been
reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
We have
future obligations for debt repayments, future minimum rental and similar
commitments under noncancellable operating leases as well as contingent
obligations related to outstanding letters of credit. These obligations as of
December 27, 2008 are summarized in the tables below (in

The
Company has excluded from the table above uncertain tax liabilities as defined
in FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes," due to the uncertainty of the amount and period of payment. As of
December 27, 2008, the Company has gross uncertain tax liabilities of $1.8
million (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements).
We
reported a net source of cash from our operating activities of $9.7 million in
the year ended December 27, 2008. Net income, depreciation and a $3.3
million increase in accounts payable were the primary sources of operating cash
flow. Accounts payable increased primarily as a result of negotiated
terms extensions with several of our suppliers. Inventory was the
primary use of cash. Inventory increased $15.2 million to support
sales growth and increases in safety stock levels deemed necessary to enable us
to better fill customer orders.
Investing
activities used $6.4 million of cash in 2008 primarily as a result of additions
to property, plant and equipment. Capital spending in 2008 consisted
of tooling associated with new products, upgrades to information systems and
scheduled equipment replacements.
Financing
activities used $3.2 million of cash in the year ended December 27,
2008. The primary elements of our financing activities were $6.5
million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the repayment of
the final installment of $8.6 million on our senior notes originally issued in
1998. We also repurchased $1.2 million in common stock from our
401(k) plan during 2008.
Based on our current operating plan, we
believe that our sources of available capital are adequate to meet our ongoing
cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
Foreign
Currency Fluctuations
In 2008,
approximately 80% of our products were purchased from vendors in a variety of
foreign countries. The products generally are purchased through purchase orders
with the purchase price specified in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we do not have
exposure to fluctuations in the relationship between the dollar and various
foreign currencies between the time of execution of the purchase order and
payment for the product. However, recent declines in the U.S. dollar have
resulted in a number of material price increases. To the extent that
the dollar decreases in value to foreign currencies in the future or the present
weakness in the dollar continues for a sustained period of time, the price of
the product in dollars for new purchase orders may increase
further.
The
largest portion of our overseas purchases come from China. The value of the
Chinese Yuan has increased relative to the U.S. Dollar since July 2005 when it
was allowed to fluctuate against a basket of currencies. Most experts believe
that the value of the Yuan will increase further relative to the U.S. Dollar
over the next few years. Such a move would most likely result in an increase in
the cost of products that we purchase from China.
Impact of
Inflation
The
overall impact of inflation has not resulted in a significant change in labor
costs or the cost of general services utilized by us. During the
second and third quarter of 2008 we experienced significant increases in the
cost of materials and transportation costs as a result of commodity price
increases and weakness in the U.S. Dollar. The upward pressure on
materials and transportation costs eased somewhat in the fourth quarter as the
U.S. economy weakened, but costs are up over beginning of the year and prior
year levels. We have been able to offset a portion of these cost
increases with higher selling prices; however, we do not expect to be able to do
so completely. As a result, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net
sales increased in the second half of 2008 and may increase further next
year. We will attempt to offset further cost increases by passing
along selling price increases to customers, through the use of alternative
suppliers and by resourcing purchases to other countries. However
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these
efforts.
Related-Party
Transactions
We have a
noncancelable operating lease for our primary operating facility from a
partnership in which Richard N. Berman, our Chief Executive Officer,
and Steven L. Berman, our President, are partners. Total
rental payments each year to the partnership under the lease arrangement were
$1.4 million in 2008 and $1.3 million in 2007 and 2006. During 2007,
we amended the lease with the partnership, which will now expire on December 28,
2012.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. We
regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to
revenue recognition, bad debts, customer credits, inventories, goodwill and
income taxes. Estimates and judgments are based upon historical experience and
on various other assumptions believed to be accurate and reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts. The preparation of our financial statements requires us
to make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable. We
specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer
creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment
patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. A
significant percentage of our accounts receivable have been, and will continue
to be, concentrated among a relatively small number of automotive retailers and
warehouse distributors in the United States. Our five largest customers
accounted for 81% and 71% of net accounts receivable as of December 27, 2008 and
December 29, 2007, respectively. A bankruptcy or financial loss associated with
a major customer could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating
results.
Revenue
Recognition and Allowance for Customer Credits. Revenue is recognized from
product sales when goods are shipped, title and risk of loss have been
transferred to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. We record
estimates for cash discounts, product returns and warranties, discounts and
promotional rebates in the period of the sale ("Customer Credits"). The
provision for Customer Credits is recorded as a reduction from gross sales and
reserves for Customer Credits are shown as a reduction of accounts receivable.
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales.
Costs associated with shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold.
Actual Customer Credits have not differed materially from estimated amounts for
each period presented.
Excess
and Obsolete Inventory Reserves. We must make estimates of potential future
excess and obsolete inventory costs. We provide reserves for discontinued and
excess inventory based upon historical demand, forecasted usage, estimated
customer requirements and product line updates. We maintain contact with our
customer base in order to understand buying patterns, customer preferences and
the life cycle of our products. Changes in customer requirements are factored
into the reserves as needed.
Goodwill.
We follow the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". We employ a discounted cash flow analysis and a market comparable
approach in conducting our impairment tests. Earnings multiples of 5.25 to 5.5
times EBITDA were used when conducting these tests in 2008. As a result of the
impairment tests performed in 2007 and 2006, we wrote-off the goodwill of our
Canadian subsidiary (Hermoff) and our Swedish subsidiary (Scan-Tech),
respectively. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
this report.
Income
Taxes. We follow the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.
Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes
payable or refundable for the current year and for the change in the deferred
tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. We must make
assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for
income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation
allowance to be recorded against a deferred tax asset. Our judgments,
assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income taxes
takes into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws and
possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by tax authorities.
Changes in tax laws or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of
current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided
for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. Our assumptions,
judgments and estimates relative to the value of a deferred tax asset takes into
account predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual
operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future
years could render our current assumptions, judgments and estimates of
recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate. Any of the assumptions, judgments and
estimates mentioned above could cause our actual income tax obligations to
differ from our estimates.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 142-3, “Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets: (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP 142-3 is not
expected to impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and
financial position.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised
2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R)
changes the requirements for an acquirer’s recognition and measurement of the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS
No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively for all business
combinations entered into after the date of adoption.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires (i) that noncontrolling
(minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders’ equity,
(ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations,
(iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent
retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions,
(iv) that any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and
(v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively.
However, the presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be
applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of the
provisions of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to impact the Company’s
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting
by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. Companies are not allowed to adopt SFAS No. 159 on a
retrospective basis unless they choose early adoption. The adoption
of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and
financial position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under
other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied prospectively and are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The FASB has agreed to a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s
fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities
that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. We adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities
on December 30, 2007, and there was no impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial position. We do not believe the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial
position.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
Our
market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest
rates. Substantially all of our borrowings as well as our accounts
receivable sale programs bear interest rates tied to LIBOR. Under the
terms of our revolving credit facility and customer-sponsored programs to sell
accounts receivable, a change in either the lender’s base rate, LIBOR or
discount rates under our accounts receivable sale programs would affect the rate
at which we could borrow funds thereunder. We experienced increased borrowing
costs in the second half of 2008 as a result of increases in the discount rates
under our accounts receivable sale programs. These cost increases
were caused primarily by the tight credit markets in the U.S. during
2008. A one percentage point increase in LIBOR or the discount rates
on our accounts receivable sale program would increase our interest expense on
our variable rate debt and our accounts receivable financing costs by
approximately $0.7 million annually. This estimate assumes that our
variable rate debt balance and the level of sales of accounts receivable remains
constant for an annual period and the interest rate change occurs at the
beginning of the period.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our
financial statement schedules that are filed with this Report on Form 10-K are
listed in Item 15(a)(2), Part IV, of this Report.
Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Dorman
Products, Inc.:
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dorman Products, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27,
2008. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement
schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Dorman Products, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 27, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
We also
have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), Dorman Products, Inc.’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 27, 2008, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 6,
2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
As
discussed in Note 8, effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes.

DORMAN
PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
December
27, 2008
1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Dorman
Products, Inc. ("Dorman", the "Company", “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a leading
supplier of OE Dealer "Exclusive" automotive replacement parts, automotive
hardware, brake products and household hardware to the Automotive Aftermarket
and Mass Merchandise markets. Dorman products are marketed under the OE
Solutions™, HELP!®,
AutoGrade™, First Stop™, Conduct-Tite®, Pik-A-
Nut®
and Scan-Tech® brand names.
We
operate on a fifty-two, fifty-three week period ending on the last Saturday of
the calendar year. The fiscal years ended December 27, 2008, December 29, 2007
and December 30, 2006 are all fifty-two week periods.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation.
Principles
of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and
the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of
Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States 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 financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Sales of
Accounts Receivable. We have entered into several customer sponsored programs
administered by unrelated financial institutions that permit us to sell, without
recourse, certain accounts receivable at discounted rates to the financial
institutions. We do not retain any servicing requirements for these accounts
receivable. Transactions under these agreements are accounted for as sales of
accounts receivable following the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB
Statement 125.” At December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007,
approximately $55.0 million and $39.4 million of accounts receivable were sold
and removed from the consolidated balance sheets, respectively, based upon
standard payment terms. Selling, general and administrative expenses include
$2.6 million, $1.9 million, and $1.7 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, in financing costs associated with these accounts receivable sales
programs. During 2008, 2007, and 2006, we sold $109.1 million, $104.0
million and $80.8 million, respectively, under these programs.
Inventories.
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. We provide
reserves for discontinued and excess inventory based upon historical demand,
forecasted usage, estimated customer requirements and product line
updates.
Property
and Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to
thirty-nine years, using the straight-line method for financial statement
reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Estimated
useful lives by major asset category areas follows:
|
Buildings
|
3
to 39 years
|
|
Machinery,
equipment and tooling
|
3
to 10 years
|
|
Furniture,
fixtures and leasehold improvements
|
3
to 15 years
|
The costs
of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Renewals and betterments
are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in operating
results.
Long-lived
assets, such as property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.
The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would
be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the
balance sheet. We did not record any asset impairment charges in
fiscal 2008, 2007 or 2006.
Goodwill.
We follow the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". We employ a discounted cash flow analysis and a market comparable
approach in conducting our impairment tests. Earnings multiples of 5.25 to 5.50
times EBITDA were used when conducting these tests in 2008.
During
the fourth quarter of 2007, we assessed the value of the goodwill with respect
to our Canadian subsidiary as a result of a strategic review of the business
given our continued losses since the acquisition. After completing the required
analyses, we concluded that the goodwill balance of the subsidiary was
impaired. Accordingly an impairment charge of approximately $0.4
million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we assessed the value of the goodwill
recorded at our Swedish subsidiary, Scan-Tech Sweden AB (Scan-Tech) as a result
of a review of the Scan-Tech business in response to bad debt charge offs at two
large customers and the resulting loss of those customers in the first half of
the year. After completing the required analyses, we concluded that the goodwill
balance of the subsidiary was impaired. Accordingly, an impairment charge of
approximately $2.9 million, which represents the entire goodwill balance at the
subsidiary, was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. In
addition, we recorded a $0.3 million charge to our provision for income taxes to
write off deferred tax assets of the subsidiary which were deemed
unrealizable.
Other
Assets. Other assets consist of contract rights, which are being
amortized on a straight-lined basis; deposits; costs incurred for the
preparation and printing of product catalogs, which are capitalized and
amortized upon distribution; and deferred financing costs, which are capitalized
and amortized over the term of the related financing agreement.
Change in
Vacation Policy. Effective December 31, 2006, we changed our vacation
policy so that the current year's vacation time is earned ratably throughout the
current year. Prior to December 31, 2006, all rights to the
subsequent year's vacation vested to our employees on the last day of the
previous fiscal year and the corresponding liability was recorded in that
previous year. Since employees had vested all 2007 vacation time
prior to the beginning of 2007 under the old policy, no additional vacation time
was earned in 2007 and no expense was recorded. This change resulted
in a reduction in our vacation accrual of approximately $1.8 million in
2007. As a result, vacation expense in cost of goods sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses was reduced during each of the
fiscal quarters in 2007. Results for the year ended December 29, 2007
include vacation expense reductions of $0.4 million in cost of goods sold and
$1.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses,
respectively.
Research
and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and development costs totaling $3.4 million in 2008, $2.6 million in
2007 and $2.2 million in 2006 have been recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Foreign
Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of
the year. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate
prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are recorded directly in shareholders' equity.
Comprehensive
Income. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income,” comprehensive income includes all changes to shareholders’ equity
during a period, except those resulting from investment by and distributions to
shareholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income
and changes in foreign currency translation adjustments.
Concentrations
of Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. All
cash equivalents are managed within established guidelines which limit the
amount which may be invested with one issuer. A significant percentage of our
accounts receivable have been, and will continue to be, concentrated among a
relatively small number of automotive retailers and warehouse distributors in
the United States. Our five largest customers accounted for 81% and 71% of net
accounts receivable as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
We continually monitor the credit terms and credit limits to these and other
customers. In 2008, approximately 80% of our products were purchased
from suppliers located in a variety of foreign countries, with the largest
portion coming from China.
Fair
Value Disclosures. The carrying value of financial instruments such as cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities
approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these
instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with
similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of total long-term debt,
including the current portion, was $15.4 million at December 27, 2008 and $18.1
million at December 29, 2007.
Income
Taxes. We follow the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined
using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or
recovered.
Revenue
Recognition. Revenue is recognized from product sales when goods are shipped,
title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection is
reasonably assured. We record estimates for cash discounts, product returns and
warranties, discounts and promotional rebates in the period of the sale
("Customer Credits"). The provision for Customer Credits is recorded as a
reduction from gross sales and reserves for Customer Credits are shown as a
reduction of accounts receivable. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and
handling are included in net sales. Costs associated with shipping and handling
are included in cost of goods sold. Actual Customer Credits have not differed
materially from estimated amounts for each period presented.
Earnings
Per Share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share for the three years ended December 27,
2008:

included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would
have been antidilutive.
Stock-Based
Compensation. At December 27, 2008, we had one stock-based employee compensation
plan, which is described more fully in Note 11. Effective January 1, 2006, we
adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) “Share-Based Payment” and related interpretations using
the modified prospective transition method, and therefore, have not restated
prior periods. Under the modified prospective method, we are required to record
equity-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of
adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding
as of the date of adoption. The fair values of all stock options granted by the
Company are determined using the Black-Scholes model.
Product
Warranties. We warrant our products against certain defects in material and
workmanship when used as designed on the vehicle on which it was originally
installed. We offer a one year, two year, or limited lifetime warranty depending
on the product type. All warranties limit the customer’s remedy to the repair or
replacement of the part that is defective. We record estimates for product
warranty costs in the period of sale. Estimated warranty costs are based upon
actual experience and forecasts using the best historical and current claim
information available. Warranty expense for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $0.9
million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Acquisition and Sale of Assets
In
September 2007, we acquired certain assets of the Consumer Products Division of
Rockford Products Corporation (Consumer Division) for $3.4
million. The consolidated results for the period ended December 29,
2007 include the results of the Consumer Division effective September 10,
2007. We have not presented pro forma results of operations as these
results would not have been materially different than actual results for the
periods. In connection with the purchase, we recorded $1.1 million in
contract rights which are included in other assets, and are being amortized over
a 10 year period.
On May
15, 2008, we sold certain assets of our Canadian subsidiary for $0.9
million.

Bank
Credit Facility. In December 2007, we amended our existing Revolving Credit
Facility. The amendment extended the expiration date from June 2008 to June
2010. Borrowings under the facility are on an unsecured basis with interest at
rates ranging from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 150 basis points
based upon the achievement of certain benchmarks related to the ratio of funded
debt to EBITDA. The interest rate at December 27, 2008 was LIBOR plus 65 basis
points (1.12%). The loan agreement also contains covenants, the most restrictive
of which pertain to net worth and the ratio of debt to EBITDA.
The
average amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility was $14.2 million
and 12.6 million during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The maximum amount
outstanding in 2008 and 2007 was $24.5 million and $23.3
million, respectively.
Senior
Notes. The Senior Notes bear a 6.81% fixed interest rate, payable quarterly.
Annual principal repayments at the rate of $8.6 million were due each August
through 2008. Terms of the Note Purchase Agreement required, among other things,
that we maintained certain financial covenants relating to debt to capital
ratios and minimum net worth. The Senior Notes were repaid in full in
August 2008.
Promissory
Note. In September 2006, we borrowed $625,000 under a commercial loan agreement
in connection with the opening of a new distribution facility. The principal
balance is paid in monthly installments through September 2013. The outstanding
balance bears interest at an annual rate of 4% payable monthly. The loan is
secured by a letter of credit issued under our Revolving Credit
Facility.
We are in
compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Revolving Credit
Facility.

Related Party Transactions
We have a
noncancelable operating lease for our primary operating facility from a
partnership in which Richard N. Berman, our Chief Executive Officer and Steven
L. Berman, our President are partners. Total rental payments each year to the
partnership under the lease arrangement were $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.3
million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The lease with the
partnership expires December 28, 2012.

In 2007,
we recorded a valuation allowance totaling $0.6 million against certain foreign
tax loss carry forwards.
Based on
our history of taxable income and our projection of future earnings, we believe
that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated
in the foreseeable future to realize the remaining net deferred tax
assets.
As of December 27, 2008, we have not
provided taxes on unremitted foreign earnings from our foreign affiliate of
approximately $9.7 million that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in
operations and expansion outside the United States. An estimated $1.4 million in
U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes would be due if the earnings were
remitted as dividends.
We
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) effective December 31,
2006. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no
material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax
benefits. At December 27, 2008, we have $1.8 million of
unrecognized tax benefits, $1.1 million of which would affect our effective tax
rate if recognized.
A reconciliation of the beginning and
ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in

related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 27,
2008, we have approximately $0.4 million of accrued interest related to
uncertain tax positions.
The last year examined by the IRS was
2005, and all years up through and including that year are closed by
examination. We are currently under examination for tax
years 2003 - 2006 by one state tax authority to which we are subject to tax. The
tax years 2004-2008 remain open to examination by the remaining major taxing
jurisdictions in the United States to which we are subject. The tax years
2004-2008 remain open to examination in Sweden for our Swedish
subsidiary.
9.
Business Segments
In
accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," we have determined that our business comprises a single
reportable operating segment, namely, the sale of replacement parts for the
automotive aftermarket.
During
2008, 2007 and 2006, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of net
sales and in the aggregate accounted for 40%, 38% and 40% of net sales,
respectively. Net sales to countries outside the US, primarily to Europe and
Canada in 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $27.2 million, 29.7 million and $25.6
million, respectively.
10.
Commitments and Contingencies
Shareholder
Agreement. A shareholder agreement was entered into in September 1990 and
amended and restated on July 1, 2006. Under the agreement, each of Richard
Berman, Steven Berman, Jordan Berman, Marc Berman and Fred Berman has granted
the others of them rights of first refusal, exercisable on a pro rata basis or
in such other proportions as the exercising shareholders may agree, to purchase
shares of our common stock which any of them, or upon their deaths their
respective estates, proposes to sell to third parties. We have agreed with these
shareholders that, upon their deaths, to the extent that any of their shares are
not purchased by any of these surviving shareholders and may not be sold without
registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), we will use our best efforts to cause those shares to be registered under
the 1933 Act. The expenses of any such registration will be borne by the estate
of the deceased shareholder.
Legal
Proceedings. We are party to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the
normal course of business. We believe that the disposition of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
11.
Capital Stock
Purchase
and cancellation of common stock. We periodically repurchase and cancel common
stock issued to our defined contribution profit sharing and 401(k) plan. During
2008 and 2007, our board of directors approved the cancellation
of 108,033 and 90,205 shares of common stock,
respectively.
Undesignated
Stock. We have 75,000,000 shares authorized of undesignated capital stock for
future issuance. The designation, rights and preferences of such shares will be
determined by our Board of Directors.
Control
by Officers, Directors and Family Members. As of March 2, 2009,
Richard N. Berman and Steven L. Berman, who are officers and
directors of the Company, their father and their brothers beneficially own 41%
of the outstanding our Common Stock and are able to elect our Board of
Directors, determine the outcome of most corporate actions requiring shareholder
approval and control our policies.
Incentive
Stock Option Plan. Effective on May 18, 2000, we amended and restated our
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, our Board
of Directors may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options
or combinations thereof to purchase up to 2,345,000 shares of common stock to
officers, directors and employees. Grants under the Plan must be made within 10
years of the plan amendment date and are exercisable at the discretion of the
Board of Directors but in no event more than 10 years from the date of grant. At
December 27, 2008, options to acquire 330,689 shares were available for grant
under the Plan.
Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations and
began expensing the grant-date fair value of employee stock
options. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), cash flows resulting
from tax deductions in excess of the tax effect of compensation cost recognized
in the financial statements be classified as financing cash flows.
Compensation
cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which
employees perform related services. The compensation cost charged against income
for the year ended December 27, 2008, December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006
was $248,000, $456,000 and $488,000 before taxes, respectively. The compensation
cost recognized is classified as selling, general and administrative expense in
the consolidated statement of operations. No cost was capitalized during fiscal
2008, 2007 or 2006. We included a forfeiture assumption of 4.6%, 3.5%
and 2.6% in the calculation of expense in 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
The fair
value of options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model that used the weighted average assumptions noted in the table
below. Expected volatility and expected dividend yield are based on
the actual historical experience of the Company’s common stock. The expected
life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding and was calculated using the simplified method prescribed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The
risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security with terms equal to the
expected time of exercise as of the grant date.

The total
intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2008 was
$511,000.
As of
December 27, 2008, there was approximately $0.5 million of unrecognized

recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5
years.
Cash
received from option exercises during 2008 was $118,000. The total tax benefit
generated from options which were exercised during 2008 and 2007 was
approximately $126,000 and $409,000, respectively, and was credited to
additional paid in capital.

Employee
Stock Purchase Plan. In March 1992, our Board of Directors adopted the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan which was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The
Plan permits the granting of options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of common
stock by our employees. In any given year, employees may purchase up to 4% of
their annual compensation, with the option price set at 85% of the fair market
value of the stock on the date of exercise. All options granted during any year
expire on the last day of the fiscal year. During 2008, optionees had exercised
rights to purchase 1,459 shares at prices from $7.69 to $9.26 per share for
total net proceeds of $11,000.
401(k)
Retirement Plan. We maintain a defined contribution profit sharing and 401(k)
plan covering substantially all of our employees as of December 27, 2008. Annual
contributions under the plan are determined by our Board of Directors.
Consolidated expense related to the plan was $1,284,000, $1,223,000 and
$1,095,000, in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December
27, 2008, the plan held 448,694 shares of our stock.
Share
Repurchase Program. On February 22, 2008, we announced that our Board
of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of our
outstanding common stock. Under this program, share repurchases may
be made from time to time depending upon market conditions, share price and
availability, and other factors at our discretion. Repurchases will
take place in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions
in accordance with applicable laws. During 2008, we have not made any
purchases under the plan.
13.
Accounting Pronouncements
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 142-3, “Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets: (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP 142-3 is not
expected to impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and
financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) changes the
requirements for an acquirer’s recognition and measurement of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS
No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively for all business
combinations entered into after the date of adoption.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires (i) that noncontrolling
(minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders’ equity,
(ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations,
(iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent
retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions,
(iv) that any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and
(v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively.
However, the presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be
applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of the
provisions of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to impact the Company’s
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting
by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. Companies are not allowed to adopt SFAS No. 159 on a
retrospective basis unless they choose early adoption. The adoption
of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and
financial position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under
other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied prospectively and are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The FASB has agreed to a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s
fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities
that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. We adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities
on December 30, 2007, and there was no impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial position. We do not believe the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial
position.

Conclusion
Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, conducted an evaluation, as of December 27, 2008, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive
officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that management is
timely alerted to material information related to us during the period when our
periodic reports are being prepared.
Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(f). Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation, as of December 27, 2008,
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on
the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation
under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management
concluded that, as of December 27, 2008, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2008 has been
audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated
in their report which is included herein.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over
financial reporting, to determine whether any changes occurred during the
quarter ended December 27, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, there was no such change during the quarter ended
December 27, 2008.
Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Dorman
Products, Inc.:
We have
audited Dorman Products, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 27, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). Dorman Products, Inc.'s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that material misstatement exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our
opinion, Dorman Products, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2008, based on
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
We also
have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Dorman
Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27,
2008, and the related financial statement schedule, and our report dated March
6, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements and the related financial statement schedule.
