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 2, 2013. The results of operations for the six-month period ended August 31, 2013 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 August 31, 2013 and March 2, 2013, and the results of operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2013 and September 1, 2012, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended August 31, 2013 and September 1, 2012.
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 the Company's Brazilian subsidiary within the Architectural Glass segment 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 six months ended August 31, 2013.
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended August 31, 2013, 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 February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance surrounding the presentation of items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance requires entities to disclose, either in the notes to the consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports comprehensive income, items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income in their entirety and the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, Apogee's fiscal 2014. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 did not impact Apogee's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for the six months ended August 31, 2013.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first six months of fiscal 2014 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

6. | Marketable Securities |
At August 31, 2013, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $26.3 million; $15.2 million is current and $11.0 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds $11.1 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 available-for-sale securities or available-for-sale securities in the consolidated balance sheet.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investments available for sale at August 31, 2013 and March 2, 2013, are as follows:
(In thousands) | Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Estimated Fair Value | |||||||||||

Total investments | $ | 38,927 | $ | 127 | $ | (240 | ) | $ | 38,814 | ||||||
The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers 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.

The following table presents the length of time that available-for-sale securities were in continuous unrealized loss positions, but were not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, as of August 31, 2013:
Less Than 12 Months | Greater Than or Equal to 12 Months | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments at August 31, 2013, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Total | $ | 26,815 | $ | 26,271 | |||
Gross realized gains and losses were not material during the either the six-month period of fiscal 2014 or 2013.
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.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of August 31, 2013 and March 2, 2013, are summarized below:

11
Restricted investments
The Company has $2.8 million of current restricted investments consisting of money market funds held in escrow for use in the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business. The Company has $3.8 million of long-term restricted investments consisting of money market funds, which are short term in nature but are restricted for future investment in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan, and are, therefore, classified as long term. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximate stated cost.
Mutual fund investments
The Company has $0.7 million of mutual fund investments as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. 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.
Foreign currency instruments
The Company has a foreign exchange forward contract in place to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted purchases. The forward contract is measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates.

9. | Debt |
The company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in October 2017. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of August 31, 2013 or March 2, 2013. 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 August 31, 2013 was $274.2 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $339.0 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. 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 0.00 at August 31, 2013. 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 August 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, $10.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds that had previously been issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah were redeemed at par. In connection with redeeming this debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expensed $0.2 million of debt issue costs that had previously been deferred and were being amortized over the term of the debt.
Debt at August 31, 2013 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.4 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2014 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximates carrying value at August 31, 2013 due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest payments were $0.3 million for each of the six-month periods ended August 31, 2013 and September 1, 2012, and primarily relate to fees associated with our revolving credit facility.
10. | Employee Benefit Plans |
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors an unfunded Officers’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the benefit of certain executives and a defined-benefit pension plan, the Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees’ Pension Plan. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the plans for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2013 and September 1, 2012, were as follows:

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.
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at August 31, 2013 and March 2, 2013 was approximately $6.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax
13
expense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $1.0 million during the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.
12. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
Operating lease commitments. As of August 31, 2013, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rentals based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases are:

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services business, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At August 31, 2013, $97.9 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $286.6 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 make any payments related to these performance 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 paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: improved manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At August 31, 2013, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of August 31, 2013 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.
Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of August 31, 2013, these obligations totaled $89.7 million.
Foreign currency instruments. The Company has a foreign exchange forward contract with a U.S. dollar notional value of $18.2 million with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the euro related to a planned capital equipment purchase. The fair value of this contract was a liability of $0.2 million at August 31, 2013 and is included in the balance sheet caption as other current liabilities. The Company reports the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income, and any gain or loss is included in the value of the capital asset and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the asset.
Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services 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, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

13. | Segment Information |
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company expanded the number of reporting segments to four: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). Prior-year comparative information has been recast to conform to the current reporting segment presentation. The Architectural Glass segment fabricates glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass, windows and other curtainwall products making up the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings for new construction and renovation. The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. The Company has aggregated three operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing market.
The following table presents sales and operating income data for the Company’s four reporting segments, and on a consolidated basis, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago.

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

Highlights of Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2014 Compared to Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2013
Consolidated net sales increased 1.3 percent, or $2.3 million, for the second quarter ended August 31, 2013, compared to the prior-year period, with growth in the Architectural Glass segment and in the storefront and finishing businesses in the Architectural Framing Systems segment partially offset by project timing in the Architectural Services segment and the Architectural Framing Systems window business, as anticipated. For the six-month period, net sales increased 8.3 percent, or $27.5 million, as compared to the prior-year period. The majority of the year-on-year increase for the six-month period was due to improved price and mix
16
in our Architectural Glass Segment, with the remainder largely due to improved volume in our Architectural Framing Systems storefront and finishing businesses.
Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended August 31, 2013 increased to 21.6 percent from 20.5 percent in the prior-year period, and was 21.0 percent for the six-month period compared to 20.4 percent in the prior year. The improvement for both the quarter and year-to-date periods as compared to the prior year was largely due to the favorable margin impact from price and mix, as well as volume growth in core domestic markets in the Architectural Glass segment and volume growth in the Architectural Framing Systems segment's storefront and finishing businesses. The Architectural Services segment also contributed to the increases as we benefited from improving project margins as compared to the prior-year quarter and six-month periods; we believe that we have largely worked through the lower margin projects bid in the market trough. These favorable items were somewhat offset by lower capacity utilization within the Architectural Framing Systems segment's window business, which was related to an anticipated gap in the schedule for more complex projects.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter were up $0.6 million over the prior-year period and were 16.4 percent of net sales as compared to 16.2 percent in the prior-year period. For the six-month period, SG&A expenses increased $2.1 million over the prior-year period, while decreasing as a percent of net sales to 16.6 percent from 17.4 percent. The increase in expense, for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, was primarily due to increased salaries and related benefits to support sales growth and cost increases related to geographic expansion.

Second-quarter net sales of $70.0 million were up 10.6 percent over prior-year net sales of $63.3 million, and net sales of $144.8 million for the six-month period increased 18.3 percent over the prior-year period. Approximately 50 percent of the increase in net sales for the quarter was due to improved mix, with the remainder coming from improved pricing. For the six-month period, about half of the increase was due to improved volume, with the remainder due to improved mix of value-added products and better pricing.
Operating income was $0.8 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the prior-year quarter, with operating margins of 1.1 percent compared to negative 3.2 percent in the prior-year quarter. For the six-month period, operating income was $2.1 million, compared to a loss of $4.4 million in the prior-year period, with operating margins of 1.5 percent compared to negative 3.6 percent in the prior year. The improvement in margins was due primarily to the improved mix as we benefited from an increase in higher value-added projects, pricing, increased capacity utilization on higher volume and ongoing productivity improvements.

For the year-to-date period, operating results improved to a loss of $1.8 million compared to the prior-year loss of $3.6 million. Margins also improved to negative 2.0 percent compared to negative 4.2 percent in the prior year-to-date period. The improvements in operating results and margins for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were due to better margins and good job execution on projects flowing through revenue as we have worked through lower margin projects that were bid in the market trough.

Second-quarter net sales of $49.5 million were down 5.2 percent from prior-year net sales of $52.2 million, and were down slightly in the six-month period to $93.9 million from $94.6 million in the prior-year period. For both the quarter and six-month periods, improved volumes in the storefront and finishing businesses were more than offset by a gap in the schedule for the window business, which we had anticipated.
Operating income of $5.2 million in the current quarter was down 14.6 percent compared to $6.1 million in the prior-year quarter, and operating margins decreased to 10.5 percent from 11.6 percent in the prior-year quarter. For the year-to-date period, operating income was $7.2 million, down 20.9 percent from the prior year of $9.2 million and operating margins declined to 7.7 percent from 9.7 percent in the prior year. The decreased operating income for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to the lower sales in the window business related to an anticipated gap in the schedule for more complex projects, resulting in lower capacity utilization. The decreases in the window business profitability were partially offset by the profit on increased volume in the storefront and finishing businesses.
In the current quarter, we acquired the assets and certain liabilities of a window fabrication business as part of our strategy to grow through new products and new geographies. The acquisition is included in the results of our window business within the Architectural Framing Systems segment; the results from the acquisition completed late in the quarter were immaterial.

Net sales of $19.7 million for the second quarter were up slightly over prior-year net sales of $19.6 million, and net sales for the six-month period were $39.2 million compared to $38.8 million in the prior year. The improvement for both the quarter and six-month periods was mainly driven by a positive mix of higher value-added products.
Operating income of $5.3 million in the quarter was up 2.3 percent from the prior-year period and operating margins were up slightly to 26.9 percent compared to 26.5 percent in the prior-year period. The improvement in the quarter was due to a favorable mix of value-added products and continued strong operating performance. For the six-month period, operating income of $10.0 million was down 4.3 percent and margins declined to 25.5 percent from 26.9 percent. The decreases in operating income and margins for the six-month period were due to increased promotional activities and investments for growth in new geographies and markets, partially offset by the impact of a higher valued-added mix.
Consolidated Backlog
At August 31, 2013, our consolidated backlog was $304.2 million, compared to $298.3 million at the end of fiscal 2013 and $301.3 million in the prior-year period. We expect approximately $201.8 million, or 66 percent, of our August 31, 2013 backlog to be recognized in fiscal 2014, with the remainder to be recognized in fiscal 2015.
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.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to cash provided of $10.4 million in the prior-year period. The improvement over the prior year was due to the higher level of income reported for the six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.
Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term available for sale securities and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities) was $70.3 million at August 31, 2013, or 9.7 percent of last 12-month net sales, our key metric for measuring working capital efficiency. This compares to $54.1 million at March 2, 2013, or 7.7 percent of fiscal 2013 net sales, and 8.5 percent at September 1, 2012. The change comes from growth in the business and extending our footprint in certain businesses.
Investing Activities. Through the first six months of fiscal 2014, investing activities provided cash of $21.1 million, compared to cash used of $39.1 million in the same period last year. The current year included new capital investments of $8.2 million. We released a net $19.9 million of restricted investments as a result of releasing the $10.0 million of cash held in escrow for the recovery zone facility bonds that was used to redeem the bonds and also releasing $12.0 million of cash collateral to unrestricted cash related to the letter of credit supporting these bonds. These items were slightly offset by $2.8 million of funds held in escrow for use in the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business. We decreased our investments in marketable securities by $11.2 million for the six-month period.
In the current quarter, we acquired the assets and certain liabilities of a window fabrication business as part of our strategy to grow through new products and new geographies. The acquisition is included in the results of our window business reported in the Architectural Framing Systems segment and adds to our historic window renovation product line and extends our presence in the Western United States. Results from the acquisition completed late in the quarter were immaterial.
In fiscal 2013, we made new capital investments of $15.7 million for growth and productivity improvements, as well as equipment to support new product introductions, and maintenance capital. The net position of our investments for the six-month period of fiscal 2013 resulted in $14.6 million in net purchases. Net purchases of $7.9 million for restricted investments during the period were the result of $10.0 million of industrial development bonds (reflected in financing activities) that were made available for current and future investment in our storefront and entrance business in Michigan.
We expect fiscal 2014 capital expenditures to be $40 to $45 million for investments for growth, productivity and product development capabilities, including a new state-of-the-art coater in our Architectural Glass segment.
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, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the temporary shutdown of our Architectural Glass segment business in Utah to align overall capacity with the demand we are expecting over the next two years.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings at August 31, 2013 were $20.8 million, compared to $30.8 million as of March 2, 2013 and $30.9 million at September 1, 2012. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, $10.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds that had previously been issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah were redeemed at par.
Debt at August 31, 2013 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.4 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2014 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 5.8 percent at August 31, 2013, and 8.5 percent at March 2, 2013.
The company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in October 2017. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of August 31, 2013 or March 2, 2013. 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 August 31, 2013 was $274.2 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $339.0 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. 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 0.00 at August 31, 2013. 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 August 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
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. 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. There were no share repurchases during the first six months of either fiscal 2014 or 2013.
Other Financing Activities. The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations that impact our liquidity as of August 31, 2013:

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 August 31, 2013, these obligations totaled $89.7 million.
The other obligations in the table above include a foreign exchange forward contract, which has a U.S. dollar notional value of $18.2 million with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the euro related to a planned capital equipment purchase. The fair value of this contract was a liability of $0.2 million at August 31, 2013 and is included in the balance sheet caption as other current liabilities. We report the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income, and any gain or loss is included in the value of the capital asset and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the asset.
20
We expect to make contributions of $0.8 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2014, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.
As of August 31, 2013, we had $6.6 million and $1.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $1.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.
At August 31, 2013, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The Company’s $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $21.0 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $100.0 million credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at August 31, 2013:
Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Fiscal Period | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(In thousands) | 2014 Remaining | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | Thereafter | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||
Standby letters of credit | $ | — | $ | 20,982 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,500 | $ | 23,482 | |||||||||||||
In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial revenue bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At August 31, 2013, $97.9 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $286.6 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 make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.
For fiscal 2014, 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 available for sale securities of $70.9 million, and $76.5 million available under our credit facility at August 31, 2013. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to continue our growth strategy as our end markets continue to strengthen.
Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2014 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
• | Revenue growth in the high single digits over fiscal 2013. |

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)).

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 and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services 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, cash flows 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 2, 2013.
