NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2012. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 2, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 2, 2012 and March 3, 2012, and the results of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 2, 2012 and May 28, 2011.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.

The results of GlassecViracon are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events which would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the three months ended June 2, 2012.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 2, 2012, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, Apogee’s fiscal year 2013. The Company has adopted this guidance as of March 4, 2012 and has presented total comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings.

In September 2011, the FASB amended U.S. GAAP on testing goodwill for impairment. Under this new guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment now have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before having to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, the existing quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The amendments were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, Apogee’s fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 did not have an impact on Apogee’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2013 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

The 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, the 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) provide for the issuance of 1,888,000; 250,000;

 

7


Table of Contents

3,400,000; and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. Awards under these Plans, either in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards are also included in these Plans. Outstanding options issued to employees generally vest over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vested over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to non-employee directors vested at the end of six months. Outstanding options and SARs have a 10-year term. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards generally vest over a two, three or four-year period.

The 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in June 2009 and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under either of these plans, although exercises of SARs and options, and vesting of nonvested share awards previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants.

Total stock-based compensation expense under all Plans included in the results of operations for the three months ended June 2, 2012 and May 28, 2011, was $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. At June 2, 2012, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 27 months. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 2, 2012 and May 28, 2011, respectively.

There were no options or SARs issued in the first three months of fiscal 2013 or 2012. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) exercised was minimal during both the three months ended June 2, 2012 and May 28, 2011.

Executive Compensation Program

In fiscal 2006, the Company implemented an executive compensation program to provide for a greater portion of total compensation to be delivered to key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors through long-term incentives using performance shares, SARs and nonvested shares. From fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, performance shares were issued at the beginning of each fiscal year in the form of nonvested share unit awards, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the vesting date. The number of share units issued at grant is equal to the target number of performance shares and allows for the right to receive an additional number of, or fewer, shares based on meeting pre-determined Company three-year performance goals. In fiscal 2013, this plan was changed to issue cash-based performance awards in lieu of nonvested share unit awards; the cash-based awards are based on a two-year performance period and will be paid in two annual installments after completion of the performance period. Vesting of outstanding nonvested share unit awards will continue through fiscal 2015. The expense for the cash-based performance awards is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated results of operations and the liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(2) Includes a total of 292,118 performance share units granted and outstanding at target level for fiscal 2011-2013 and 2012-2014.

At June 2, 2012, there was $7.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share and performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 26 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months of fiscal 2013 was $2.8 million.

6. Marketable Securities

At June 2, 2012, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $31.2 million; $20.9 million is current and $10.3 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds $10.5 million of the municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value and are reported as short-term marketable securities available for sale or marketable securities available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and has considered the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

9. Debt

The Company maintains an $80.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2014. No borrowings were outstanding as of June 2, 2012 or March 3, 2012. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 2, 2012 was $275.7 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $320.9 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.16 at June 2, 2012. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 2, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, $10.0 million of industrial development bonds were issued and made available for current and future investment in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan. The interest rate on the bonds resets weekly and is equal to the market rate of interest earned for similar revenue bonds or other tax-free securities. The bonds will mature in April, 2042. The proceeds are reported as restricted investments in the consolidated balance sheet until disbursed, as $1.7 million was during the quarter.

Debt at June 2, 2012, consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $18.4 million of industrial development bonds and other debt held by GlassecViracon. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2013 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds approximates carrying value at June 2, 2012 due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Interest payments were $0.2 million in each of the three-month periods ended June 2, 2012 and May 28, 2011.

 

10. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer compensation and assist in saving for retirement and other short-term needs. The deferred compensation liability was $2.6 million at June 2, 2012 and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $2.4 million and mutual funds of $0.6 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2008, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

 

13


Table of Contents

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at June 2, 2012 and March 3, 2012, was approximately $8.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits was due to releasing reserves upon entering into a settlement agreement with the IRS with respect to certain issues for fiscal years 2009 through 2011. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. As a result of the federal statute for fiscal 2009 being extended during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, no federal or state statutes are expected to lapse within the next year, and the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is not expected to change materially during the next 12 months.

 

12. Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, the Company completed the sale of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of the Company’s detention/security business and its exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that the Company expects will be resolved over the next five years.

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s installation business, the Company is required to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At June 2, 2012, $101.1 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $340.7 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses.

Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when incurred. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

The Company’s total availability under its $80.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility. As of June 2, 2012, letters of credit in the amount of $23.4 million had been issued under the facility.

Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s architectural segment businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this document are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations or beliefs of the Company’s near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company, including the risk factors noted under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012. From time to time, we may also provide oral and written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public such as press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results.

Accordingly, we wish to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties set forth under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012.

We wish to caution investors that other factors might in the future prove to be important in affecting the Company’s results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time; it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Highlights of First-Quarter Fiscal 2013 Compared to First-Quarter Fiscal 2012

 

   

Consolidated net sales increased $0.8 million, or 0.5 percent, for the first quarter ended June 2, 2012, compared to the prior-year period. The increase over the prior year was due to growth in the installation and storefront businesses and a better mix of value-added glass and acrylic in the LSO segment. These improvements were offset by the anticipated first-quarter gap in architectural glass project timing.

 

   

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended June 2, 2012 increased to 20.2 percent from 15.4 percent in the prior-year period, an increase of 4.8 percentage points. The increase in gross margins for the quarter was largely due to higher architectural glass pricing, the margin impact from volume growth in the storefront business, and the impact of an improved mix of higher value-added picture framing glass and acrylic in the LSO segment, partially offset by lower project margins in our installation business.

 

   

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter increased by $1.6 million, and increased as a percent of net sales to 18.7 percent from 17.6 percent in the prior-year period. The increase, both in dollars and as a percent of sales, was driven by increased expense for incentive and long-term executive compensation programs as Company operating performance has increased, as well as by increased promotional costs in our LSO segment as we invest in new markets.

 

   

Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a benefit of approximately $0.3 million due to releasing reserves upon entering into a settlement agreement with the IRS with respect to certain issues for fiscal years 2009 through 2011.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Architectural Products and Services (Architectural)

 

   

First-quarter net sales of $134.9 million were flat to prior year net sales of $135.3 million. Growth in the installation and storefront businesses from expanding our domestic geographic footprint was offset by the anticipated first-quarter gap in architectural glass project timing.

 

   

The segment reported an operating loss of $1.9 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $7.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in the quarter was due to improved architectural glass pricing and the impact of the volume growth in our storefront business, partially offset by lower margin work in the installation business that we anticipated.

 

   

Architectural backlog at June 2, 2012, increased to $267.3 million, up approximately 13 percent over both the prior-year period and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. We expect approximately $188 million of the June 2, 2012 backlog to flow during the remainder of fiscal 2013.

Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)

 

   

First quarter net sales were $19.3 million, up 6.7 percent over prior year net sales of $18.1 million. The increase was due to a better mix of value-added picture framing products across all markets.

 

   

Operating income of $5.3 million in the quarter was up 13.7 percent over the prior-year period and operating margins for the quarter improved 1.7 percentage points to 27.4 percent, compared to 25.7. The strong mix of value-added picture framing products resulted in the increase in operating income and margins for the quarter.

Consolidated Backlog

 

   

At June 2, 2012, our consolidated backlog was $269.1 million, up approximately 13 percent over both the prior-year period and year-end fiscal 2012.

 

   

The backlog of the Architectural segment represented more than 99 percent of consolidated backlog.

 

   

We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, we completed the sale of our large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of our detention/security business and the exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that we expect to be resolved over the next five years.

Operating activities. Cash used by operating activities of continuing operations was $7.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013, compared to $20.5 million in the prior-year period. Fiscal 2013 operating cash flows were positively impacted by the income reported for the year as compared to the prior-year loss. Both periods were negatively impacted by seasonally high cash outflow in the first quarter as a result of payments made to fund annual incentive compensation, annual insurance premiums and tax payments. Additionally, in the current-year period, we were able to pre-bill more of our installation projects compared to delayed billing in the prior-year period.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term marketable securities available for sale and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities) was $61.2 million at June 2, 2012, or 9.2 percent of last 12-month sales, our key metric for measuring working capital efficiency. This compares to $44.4 million at March 3, 2012 or 6.7 percent of fiscal 2012 sales and 10.7 percent at May 28, 2011. The dollar change from year-end was due to working capital outflows for current quarter as described above and added working capital for future growth. As indicated in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2012, we expect non-cash working capital to increase during fiscal 2013 as we anticipate that our Architectural businesses will require more working capital to support increasing business activities.

Investing Activities. Through the first three months of fiscal 2013, investing activities used $29.8 million of cash, compared to cash provided of $10.5 million in the same period last year. The current year included new capital investments of $9.5 million for growth and productivity improvements as well as new product introductions and maintenance capital. The net position of our investments for the three-month period resulted in $11.1 million in net purchases. Net purchases of $8.3 million for restricted investments in the quarter were related to the funds received as a result of the industrial development bonds that were made available for current and future investment in our storefront and entrance business in Michigan.

Fiscal 2012 investing activities included $10.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of equipment. The net position of our investments for the three-month period resulted in $2.6 million in net sale proceeds, as we sold investments to fund operating activities. New capital investments through the first three months of fiscal 2012 totaled $1.6 million, primarily for safety and maintenance projects. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies of $1.4 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for our deferred compensation plan.

We expect fiscal 2013 capital expenditures to be approximately $25 million for investments to improve productivity, increase capacity and introduce new products, as well as for maintenance requirements.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings at June 2, 2012, were $31.0 million compared to $21.0 million as of March 3, 2012 and $22.3 million at May 28, 2011. Long-term debt consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $18.4 million of industrial development bonds and other debt held by GlassecViracon. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043 and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2013 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 8.8 percent at June 2, 2012 and 6.1 percent at March 3, 2012.

Table of Contents

We maintain an $80.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2014. No borrowings were outstanding as of June 2, 2012 or March 3, 2012. The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 2, 2012 was $275.7 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $320.9 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, we reduce non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. Our ratio was 0.16 at June 2, 2012. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 2, 2012, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

We paid dividends of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we did not pay any dividends; although declared, no payments were made in the quarter due to timing of those payments.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. There were no share repurchases during the first three months of fiscal 2013 or 2012. We have purchased a total of 2,279,123 shares, at a total cost of $29.7 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 970,877 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of June 2, 2012, these obligations totaled $50.6 million.

We expect to make contributions of $0.9 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2013, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of June 2, 2012, we had $8.6 million and $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts will ultimately be settled.

At June 2, 2012, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The Company’s $18.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $18.9 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $80.0 million credit facility. The $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds are supported by $12.3 million of letters of credit. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at June 2, 2012:

   $ 8,653       $ 24,603       $       $       $       $ 2,500       $ 35,756   

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At June 2, 2012, $101.1 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $340.7 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

We self-insure our third-party product liability coverages. As a result, a material construction project rework event would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

For fiscal 2013, we believe that current cash on hand and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility, as well as the expected cash to be generated from future operating activities will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and short-term marketable securities available for sale of $43.9 million, and $67.7 million available under our credit facility at June 2, 2012. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to work through the ongoing weak market conditions and to continue our growth strategy through the recovery.

Outlook

The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2013 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

 

   

Overall revenues for the year are expected to grow by mid-single digits over fiscal 2012.

 

   

We anticipate earnings per share of $0.48 to $0.58.

 

   

Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $25 million.

Related Party Transactions

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure with respect to our related party transactions set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure of our critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

No material changes have occurred to the disclosures of quantitative and qualitative market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

  a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  b) Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 2, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s architectural segment businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company has also been subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2012.
