NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2007, the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the three months ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006, and the stockholders equity statement for the three months ended March 30, 2007 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 30, 2007 and results of operations and cash flow for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the periods ended March 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The Companys fiscal year begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. Quarterly periods are based on a 4 weeks4 weeks5 weeks methodology. As a result, the first quarter can include a partial or expanded week in the first four week period of the quarter. Similarly, the last five week period in the fourth quarter could include a partial or expanded week. Certain subsidiaries operating outside of North America are included for periods beginning and ending one month prior to the period presented.
The Company incurred research & development expenses in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 of $10.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
2. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, declassification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $18.4 million, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an $8.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits which was accounted for as follows:
(In millions) |
||||
Increase in net deferred tax assets |
$ | 9.6 | ||
Increase in noncurrent receivables |
2.4 | |||
Increase in retained earnings (cumulative effect) |
(2.5 | ) | ||
Increase in noncurrent accrued interest payables |
(1.2 | ) | ||
Increase in liability for unrecongnized tax benefits |
$ | 8.3 | ||
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007, is $6.9 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statute of limitations prior to March 31, 2008.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as the income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. All U.S. federal income tax examinations of the Company for the years through 2003 have been effectively concluded. Presently, the Company has not been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service for an examination of its income tax returns subsequent to this date. Substantially all material state, local and foreign income tax matters have been effectively concluded for years through 2000.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company changed its policy for recording interest on certain unrecognized tax benefits from tax expense to interest expense. During the three months ended March 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million in interest and tax expenses associated with uncertain tax positions.

Intangible amortization expense amounted to $4.5 million for the first three months of 2007 and $2.9 million for the same period of 2006.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company paid approximately $39.5 million of its Tranche A term loan, of which $30.0 million were voluntary payments. Additionally, the securitization of accounts receivable was increased by $15.0 million due to the accounts receivable activity generated from the OGI acquisition. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the Companys long term debt as the interest rates under this loan agreement are favorable.
In April 2007, the accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with similar terms to the facility previously in place and with a new maturity date of April 2008.

12. Commitments, contingencies and guarantees
a. | In December 1981, the Company formed a partnership with a supplier of raw materials which mines and processes sodium mineral deposits owned by each of the two partners in Wyoming. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium raw material requirements from the partnership. This agreement terminates upon two years written notice by either company. The Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons, at the prevailing market price. The Company is not engaged in any other material transactions with the partnership or the Companys partner. |

b. | On October 26, 2005, a New Jersey state court jury rendered a $15.0 million verdict against the Company. The verdict followed a trial involving a claim against the Company by Andes Trading de Mexico S.A., alleging that the Company breached a purported agreement granting the plaintiff exclusive distribution rights in Mexico with respect to the Companys consumer products. Shortly after the verdict was rendered, the Company filed a motion for a new trial and for remittitur of the verdict. On December 9, 2005, the court granted the motion in part and denied it in part. The court reduced the damages to $9.8 million which was accrued for in 2005, but did not grant the Companys request for new trial. Subsequent to the courts ruling, the Company and the plaintiff each appealed the ruling. The New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division heard oral arguments on the appeal on December 6, 2006. In March 2007, the appeals court decided not to reverse the lower courts verdict. The Company chose not to appeal the decision of the appeals court and, on April 11, 2007, paid $10.4 million to settle this claim, including accrued interest. |
c. | The Companys distribution of condoms under the TROJAN and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of the Companys condoms and similar condoms sold by its competitors contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredients potential to cause irritation to human membranes. The FDA issued non-binding draft guidance concerning the labeling of condoms in general and those with N-9 in particular. The Company filed a response recommending alternative labeling to the FDA. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company has implemented an interim label statement change cautioning against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of condoms with N-9 and has launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. The Company believes that its present labeling for condoms with N-9 is compliant with the overall objectives of the draft guidance and that condoms with N-9 will remain a viable contraceptive choice for those couples who wish to use them. However, the Company cannot predict the nature of the labeling that ultimately will be required by the FDA. If the FDA or state governments eventually promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the Company could incur costs from obsolete products, packaging or raw materials, and sales of condoms could decline, which, in turn, could decrease the Companys operating income. |
d. | The Company has commitments to acquire approximately $90.3 million of raw material, packaging supplies and services from its vendors at market prices. The packaging supplies are in either a converted or non-converted status. These commitments enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders/requirements. |
e. | The Company has $6.6 million of outstanding letters of credit drawn on several banks which guarantee payment for such things as finished goods inventory, insurance claims and one year of rent on a warehouse in the event of the Companys insolvency. |
f. | In connection with the acquisition of Unilevers oral care brands in the United States and Canada, the Company is required to make additional performance-based payments of a minimum of $5.0 million and a maximum of $12.0 million over the eight year period following the October 2003 acquisition. The Company made cash payments of $0.4 million, and accrued a payment of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. The payment and accrual were accounted for as additional purchase price. The Company has paid approximately $7.1 million in additional performance-based payments since the acquisition. |
g. | During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company sold its Chicago plant at a price equivalent to the plants net book value. In conjunction with the sale, the Company entered into a seven year supply agreement with the purchaser for production of powder detergent at the plant. The supply agreement guarantees the purchaser a minimum annual production volume. If the annual production volume falls below the minimum, the Company is obligated to pay a shortfall penalty. This penalty is capped at $2.0 million over the life of the contract. As a result, the Company recorded a $1.3 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2006 which equates to the net present value of this penalty as the Company believes it is probable that it will not meet the minimum production levels in each year of the contract. |
h. | The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position. |

The Company divested the USA Detergents non-laundry business and other non-core assets to former USA Detergents executives in connection with its acquisition of USA Detergents in 2001.

14. Net Assets Held for Sale
On March 2, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to sell certain property owned by its Canadian subsidiary that has a net book value of $3.4 million. The value expected to be received for the property, net of costs to sell, is approximately $6.4 million, which will be allocated to the Consumer International segment. The Company anticipates closing on the sale of this property in the third quarter of 2007.
15. Segment Information
The Company maintains three reportable segments. These segments are based on differences in the nature of products and organizational and ownership structures. Specifically, the Company has identified the following segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (SPD). The Company also has a Corporate segment.
Segment revenues are derived from the sale of the following products:
Segment |
Products | |
Consumer Domestic |
Household and personal care products | |
Consumer International |
Primarily personal care products | |
SPD |
Specialty chemical products |
The Company had 50 percent ownership interests in Armand, ArmaKleen and Esseco U.K. LLP (Esseco) as of March 30, 2007. Since the Company did not control these entities as of March 30, 2007, they were accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The equity earnings of Armand, ArmaKleen and Esseco are included in Corporate.
Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results.
The domestic results of operations for OGI are included in the Consumer Domestic segment. The results of operations for OGIs foreign operations are included in the Consumer International segment.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Results of Operations
Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net Sales for the quarter ended March 30, 2007 were $514.3 million, $71.9 million or 16.3% above last years first quarter. Included in the 2007 results are $57.1 million associated with the business acquired by the Company from Orange Glo International, Inc. during the third quarter of 2006 (the OGI Business), and $3.9 million resulting from favorable foreign exchange rates. The quarterly results were also higher compared to the first quarter of 2006 because SPINBRUSH business revenues were not included in net sales during the first quarter of 2006. Following the acquisition of the SPINBRUSH business and during the transition period prior to April 1, 2006, the seller of the SPINBRUSH business maintained responsibility for sales and other functions in the U.S., Canada and the U.K; therefore, the Company accounted for the net cash received as other revenue. The Company assumed responsibility for all SPINBRUSH functions in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. on April 1, 2006, and has recognized the gross amount of sales and expenses from the SPINBRUSH business for the U.S. and foreign locations since that date. Increases in net sales for the quarter ended March 30, 2007 were partially offset by higher slotting and consumer promotion costs.
Operating Costs
The Companys gross profit was $199.9 million during the quarter ended March 30, 2007, a $30.9 million increase as compared to the same period in 2006. The Companys gross margin increased 70 basis points to 38.9%. The increase in gross margin reflects the benefits of price increases taken in the first half of 2006, the higher margins of the acquired OGI business, and cost reduction programs which serve to offset continuing price increases for resins, corrugated paper, and certain other raw materials.
Marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $45.9 million, an increase of $12.5 million as compared to the same period last year. Contributing to the increase were expenses in support of the OGI business product lines and an increase in expenses for certain personal care products. The Company anticipates increasing its second quarter 2007 marketing expense as compared to the first quarter of 2007 in support of new product launches and continued support of its existing products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $71.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 increased $8.5 million or 13.5% as compared to last year. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with the OGI business, higher stock-based compensation expense, the effect of foreign exchange rates and an increase in legal expenses. SG&A in the first quarter of 2006 included the impact of a $1.8 million intangible asset impairment charge.
Other Income and Expenses
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of the inclusion of the Esseco joint venture, which was formed during the second quarter of 2006, and improved profitability of Armand Products due to higher sales and lower manufacturing costs.
Other income/expense in the first quarter of 2007 consists primarily of foreign exchange losses. Other income/expense in the first quarter of 2006 primarily includes the fair market value of common stock the Company received in connection with the demutualization of an insurance company in which the Company was the policyholder of a guaranteed annuity contract associated with a defined benefit plan, and foreign exchange gains related to intercompany loans between the Companys subsidiaries.
Interest expense in the first quarter of 2007 increased $3.9 million as compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of the increase in debt to fund the OGI acquisition and higher interest rates. Investment earnings increased $0.3 million as a result of higher interest rates and higher cash available for investment.
Taxation
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 36.0% as compared to 39.7% for the same period last year. Last years tax rate was negatively impacted by approximately $1.8 million as a result of the expiration of the research and development tax credit on December 31, 2005, which was reinstated in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Segment results
The Company maintains three reportable segments. These segments are based on differences in the nature of products and organizational and ownership structures. Specifically, the Company has identified the following segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (SPD). Segment revenues are derived from the sale of the following products:
Segment |
Products | |
Consumer Domestic |
Household and personal care products | |
Consumer International |
Primarily personal care products | |
SPD |
Specialty chemical products |
The Company had 50 percent ownership interests in Armand Products Company (Armand), The ArmaKleen Company (Armakleen), and Esseco U.K. LLP (Esseco) as of December 31, 2006. Since the Company did not control these entities as of December 31, 2006, they were accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The equity earnings of Armand, ArmaKleen and Esseco are included in Corporate.
Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results. The domestic results of operations for OGI are included in the Consumer Domestic segment. The results of operations for OGIs foreign operations are included in the Consumer International segment.
Segment sales and income before taxes and minority interest for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Consumer Domestic
Consumer Domestic net sales in the first quarter were $372.4 million, a $58.3 million or 19% increase over the first quarter of 2006 net sales of $314.0 million, primarily due to the addition of the OGI business. Sales of XTRA liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP cat litter, and ARM & HAMMER baking soda were all higher than last year. These increases were offset by lower ARM & HAMMER laundry detergent, toothpaste and antiperspirant sales.
Consumer Domestic Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes for the first quarter decreased by $0.2 million to $53.1 million. Profits resulting from the acquisition of the OGI business were offset by higher marketing costs on pre-existing products, higher SG&A expenses, and higher interest expenses resulting from the acquisition of the OGI business.
Consumer International
Consumer International net sales were $84.2 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $11.4 million or 15.7% as compared to the first quarter of 2006. Of the 15.7% increase, approximately 10% is associated with the OGI and SPINBRUSH acquisitions, 5% is associated with favorable foreign exchange rates and the balance is associated with higher sales of oral care products in the UK, skin care products in Australia, and personal care products in Canada.
Consumer International Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes was $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, a $3.3 million increase as compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase is a result of higher profits associated with the sales in the UK and Australia, and a favorable product mix in Canada (including more personal care product sales and less laundry sales), and the contribution from the acquired OGI business. Also contributing to the higher income in 2007 was an intangible asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2006.
Specialty Products (SPD)
Specialty Products net sales were $57.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.2 million or 4.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily due to higher sales in Brazil, higher sales of specialty chemical products and favorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower animal nutrition product sales.
Specialty Products Income before Minority Interest and Income Taxes was $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $0.5 million as compared to the first quarter of 2006, principally due to the profits on higher net sales, partially offset by higher raw material costs for certain animal nutrition products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Debt
The Company had outstanding total debt of $906.9 million and cash of $107.7 million (of which approximately $47.6 million resides in foreign subsidiaries) at March 30, 2007. Total debt less cash (net debt) was $799.2 million at March 30, 2007. This compares to total debt of $933.3 million and cash of $110.5 million, resulting in net debt of $822.8 million at December 31, 2006.
The Company entered into two cash flow hedge agreements, one effective as of September 29, 2006, and the other effective as of December 29, 2006, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on its Tranche A term loan debt. Each hedge covers $100.0 million of zero-cost collars for 5 and 3 years, respectively, with a cap of 6.50% and a floor of 3.57%. There was no income statement impact as a result of these agreements as all changes in the hedging options fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities The Companys net cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2007 increased $16.0 million to $29.6 million as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher net income, an increase in non cash expenses and an increase in income taxes payable. Operating cash flows are expected to be sufficient to meet the anticipated operating cash requirements for the remainder of the year.
For the three months ending March 30, 2007, the components of working capital that significantly impacted operating cash flow are as follows:
Inventories increased by $20.2 million primarily due to the transitioning of OGI product manufacturing to the Companys manufacturing plants and an increase in liquid laundry detergent to support the Companys concentration initiative as well as promotional activities.
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses decreased $30.6 million primarily due to payments associated with incentive compensation and profit sharing plans and the timing of payments related to the increased payables at December 31, 2006.
Net cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2007 was $11.5 million, reflecting $11.2 million of additions for property, plant and equipment.
Net cash Used in Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2007 was $20.8 million. This represents an increase of $15.0 million in short-term borrowings related to the Companys accounts receivable securitization, and proceeds of and tax benefits from stock option exercises of $10.3 million. Offsetting these transactions were payments on the Tranche A term loan of $39.5 million and the payment of cash dividends of $4.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA is a required component of the financial covenants contained in the Companys primary credit facility. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a financial indicator of the Companys ability to service its indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Financial covenants include a total debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a certain period of time. Adjusted EBITDA was $100.7 million for the first three months of 2007. The leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) for the 12 months ended March 30, 2007 was 2.57 which is below the maximum of 4.00 permitted under the agreement, and the interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense) for the twelve months ended March 30, 2007 was 6.08 which is above the minimum of 3.0 permitted under the agreement. This credit facility is secured by the assets of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and one of its domestic subsidiaries. The reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 30, 2007 is as follows (in millions):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, declassification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
23
The Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $18.4 million, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an $8.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits which was accounted for as follows:
(In millions) |
||||
Increase in net deferred tax assets |
$ | 9.6 | ||
Increase in noncurrent receivables |
2.4 | |||
Increase in retained earnings (cumulative effect) |
(2.5 | ) | ||
Increase in noncurrent accrued interest payables |
(1.2 | ) | ||
Increase in liability for unrecongnized tax benefits |
$ | 8.3 | ||
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007, is $6.9 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statute of limitations prior to March 31, 2008.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as the income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. All U.S. federal income tax examinations of the Company for the years through 2003 have been effectively concluded. Presently, the Company has not been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service for an examination of its income tax returns subsequent to this date. Substantially all material state, local and foreign income tax matters have been effectively concluded for years through 2000.
The Company changed its policy for recording interest on certain unrecognized tax benefits from tax expense to interest expense.
During the three months ended March 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million in interest expense and tax associated with uncertain tax positions.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has short and long-term debt that are floating rate obligations. If the floating rate were to change by 10% from the March 30, 2007 level, additional annual interest expense associated with the floating rate debt would be approximately $3.1 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S. Dollar/Euro, U.S. Dollar/British Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar and U.S. Dollar/Brazilian Real.
The Company is also subject to foreign exchange translation exposure as a result of its foreign operations. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the U.S. Dollar to the currencies noted above at March 30, 2007 would result in a first quarter 2007 currency gain or loss of approximately $0.9 million in 2007.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
a. | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |

24
b. | Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements relating, among others, to short- and long-term financial objectives, sales and earnings growth, margin improvement, marketing and advertising spending, and the effect of the SPINBRUSH and Orange Glo International, Inc. (OGI) net asset acquisitions and the operational transition of these businesses with the Company. These statements represent the intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs of the Company, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Companys control and could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The uncertainties include assumptions as to market growth and consumer demand (including the effect of political and economic events and price increases on consumer demand), raw material and energy prices, the financial condition of major customers, the integration of the OGI business and the effect on marketing spending of product introduction timelines.

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
a. | On October 26, 2005, a New Jersey state court jury rendered a $15.0 million verdict against the Company. The verdict followed a trial involving a claim against the Company by Andes Trading de Mexico S.A., alleging that the Company breached a purported agreement granting the plaintiff exclusive distribution rights in Mexico with respect to the Companys consumer products. Shortly after the verdict was rendered, the Company filed a motion for a new trial and for remittitur of the verdict. On December 9, 2005, the court granted the motion in part and denied it in part. The court reduced the damages to $9.8 million which was accrued for in 2005, but did not grant the Companys request for new trial. Subsequent to the courts ruling, the Company and the plaintiff each appealed the ruling. The New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division heard oral arguments on the appeal on December 6, 2006. In March 2007, the appeals court decided not to reverse the lower courts verdict. The Company chose not to appeal the decision of the appeals court and, on April 11, 2007, paid $10.4 million to settle this claim, including accrued interest. |
b. | The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation. |
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
