NOTES
TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in

except per share data)
1.
|
Preparation
of Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements
|
The
consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion,
these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of
the results of all interim periods reported herein. All such adjustments are
of
a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been either
condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe
that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of
operations and financial position. Operating results for the interim periods
reported herein may not be indicative of the results expected for the year.
We
suggest that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our
latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock-based
Compensation
|
Effective
January
1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the
modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method,
compensation cost in 2006 includes options granted prior to but not vested
as of
December 31, 2005, and options granted in 2006. Therefore, results for prior
periods have not been restated.
The
adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R) lowered net income by approximately $148 for the three months
ended July 1, 2006, and $194 for the first half of 2006, compared to if we
had
continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25, Accounting
For Stock Issued to Employees.
The
following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 during the periods
presented. For the purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the
options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized
to
expense over the vesting periods.

As
of July 1, 2006, there was approximately $710 of unrecognized compensation
cost
related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted. That cost is
expected to be recognized over the next four years.
In
November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3 (“FSP
123(R)”), Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards. FSP 123(R)-3 provides an elective alternative
transition method for calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available
to
absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123(R).
Companies may take up to one year from the effective date of FSP 123(R)-3 to
evaluate the available transition alternatives and make a one-time election
as
to which method to adopt. We are currently in the process of evaluating the
alternative methods.
Options
are granted
to certain employees and directors at prices equal to the market value of the
stock on the dates the options were granted. The options granted have a term
of
10 years from the grant date and granted options for employees vest ratably
over
a four to five year period. The fair value of each option is amortized into
compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the
option and each vesting date. We have estimated the fair value of all stock
option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes pricing
valuation model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions
that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.
The weighted average for key assumptions used in determining the fair value
of
options granted during the six months ended July 1, 2006 follows:
Expected
price volatility
|
36.1
|
% | |
Risk-free interest rate |
4.7
|
% | |
Weighted average expected life in years |
5.2
|
||
Dividend yield |
1.2
|
% |
Historical
information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility,
expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options. The risk-free
interest rate was selected based upon yields of U. S. Treasury issues with
a
term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.
Stock
option
activity during the six months ended July 1, 2006 is as follows:

The
Plan is fully
funded as an ongoing plan; therefore, no contributions are required to be
deposited in 2006.
On
July 17, 2006, we announced our decision to terminate our defined benefit
pension plan (“the Plan”). No benefits have accrued under the Plan since it was
frozen in December 1995, at which time our contributions to a 401k savings
plan
became the primary retirement benefit. The Plan’s termination must be approved
by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
We
expect to receive these approvals within twelve to eighteen months. As a result
of the termination, we expect to make cash contributions to the Plan in the
range of $1 million to $3 million between now and the final termination. In
addition, we expect to record a charge to earnings in the range of $6 million
and $8 million pre-tax, or $3.9 million to $5.2 million net of taxes, upon
final
termination. Pension expense related to this Plan for 2005 was approximately
$1.2 million and is expected to be about the same for 2006.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results
of
Operations
Over
the past few
years the residential wood furniture industry has experienced a surge in low
cost imported products, primarily from China. Imports have grown dramatically
in
the past few years and according to industry sources it is estimated that
imports now account for over half of all residential wood furniture sold in
the
United States.
In
response to this trend, we developed a blended strategy of combining our
domestic manufacturing capabilities with an offshore sourcing program and
realigned our manufacturing capacity. We incorporate selected imported component
parts and finished items in our product line to lower cost, provide design
flexibility and offer a better value to our customers. Sourced product
represented approximately 34% of sales during the first six months of 2006
compared to 31% in 2005. We anticipate this percentage will be about 35% for
the
remainder of 2006.
Recently,
we began
reinvigorating our continuous improvement efforts using lean manufacturing
principles to improve processes and efficiencies. These efforts have allowed
us
to reduce inventories which have lowered production levels and operating margins
in the first half of 2006 and we expect this trend may continue near term.
How
quickly and to what extent we are able to lower costs, improve quality and
reduce inventories is difficult to project.
The
following table
sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items included
in
the Consolidated Statements of Income:

Net
sales decreased
$6.2 million, or 7.4%, for the three month period ended July 1, 2006, from
the
comparable 2005 period. For the six month period, net sales decreased $5.6
million, or 3.4% from the 2005 six month period. This was primarily due to
lower
unit volume resulting from continued weakness in retail furniture activity,
partially offset by higher average selling prices.
Gross
profit
margins for the three and six month periods of 2006 were 22.7% and 23.2%,
respectively compared to 24.7% for both comparable 2005 periods. Lower margins
resulted from lower sales, decreased production levels and higher raw material,
compensation and energy costs. As a result of improving processes and reducing
lead times, production levels decreased more sharply than the sales decline
particularly in the second quarter and led to lower margins due to the under
absorption of factory overheard costs.
Selling,
general
and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods as a percentage
of net sales were 14.6% and 13.9%, respectively compared to 13.4% for both
comparable 2005 periods. The higher percentage for the current year periods
is
primarily due to lower sales. Increased bad debt and legal and professional
expenses were mostly offset by lower bonus expense for both the three and six
month periods of 2006, versus the comparable prior year periods.
As
a result of the above, operating income as a percentage of net sales was 8.1%
and 9.3%, respectively, for the three and six month periods of 2006 compared
to
11.2% and 11.3% for the comparable 2005 periods.
Interest
expense
for the six month period of 2006 decreased primarily due to lower average debt
levels. Interest income increased during the 2006 period due to higher amounts
of cash.
The
effective tax
rate for 2006 is expected to be 34.8%, compared to 35.3% for the total year
2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of lower
taxable income and an increase in tax-exempt interest income.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our
sources of
liquidity include cash on hand, cash from operations and amounts available
under
a $25.0 million credit facility. These sources have been adequate for day-to-day
expenditures, debt payments, purchases of our stock, capital expenditures and
payment of cash dividends to stockholders. We expect these sources of liquidity
to continue to be adequate for the future.
Working
capital,
excluding cash and current maturities of long-term debt, decreased $4.6 million
during the first half of 2006 from $81.5 million at year end. The decrease
was
primarily due to an $8.5 million decrease in inventories, resulting from lower
production levels due to lower sales and a reduction in manufacturing lead
times.
Cash
generated from
operations was $16.2 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $16.9
million in the 2005 period. The decrease was primarily due to lower receipts
from customers due to lower sales offset by lower payments to suppliers and
employees due to lower production levels.
Net
cash used by
investing activities was approximately $766,000 in the 2006 period compared
to
$2.8 million in 2005 and consisted primarily of normal capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures for 2006 are anticipated to range from $3.0 million to
$5.0
million.
Net
cash used by
financing activities was $17.3 million in the 2006 period compared to $8.2
million in the 2005 period. In the 2006 period, cash from operations, proceeds
from insurance policy loans, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options
provided funds for the purchase and retirement of our common stock and cash
dividends. During the first six months of 2006, $16.2 million was used to
purchase 635,845 shares of our common stock in the open market at an average
price of $25.44. With the recently announced increase, we have $50 million
currently authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our
common stock. In the 2005 period, cash from operations provided funds for the
purchase and retirement of our common stock and cash dividends. The Board of
Directors increased the annual dividend policy to $0.32 per share on January
30,
2006. Our loan agreements were amended effective July 14, 2006, to eliminate
the
covenant restricting our ability to pay dividends with respect to our common
stock and to repurchase our common stock.
At
July 1, 2006, long-term debt including current maturities was $10.0 million.
Debt service requirements are $1.4 million remaining in 2006, $2.9 million
in
2007 and $1.4 million in 2008, 2009 and 2010. As of July 1, 2006, approximately
$25.0 million of additional borrowings were available under the revolving credit
facility and cash on hand was $10.6 million.
Pension
Plan Termination
On
July 17, 2006, we announced our decision to terminate our defined benefit
pension plan (“the Plan”). No benefits have accrued under the Plan since it was
frozen in December 1995, at which time contributions to a 401k savings plan
became the primary retirement benefit. The Plan’s termination must be approved
by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
We
expect to receive these approvals within twelve to eighteen months. As a result
of the termination, we expect to make cash contributions to the Plan in the
range of $1 million to $3 million between now and the final termination. In
addition, we expect to record a charge to earnings in the range of $6 million
and $8 million pre-tax, or $3.9 million to $5.2 million net of taxes upon final
termination. Pension expense related to this Plan for 2005 was approximately
$1.2 million and is expected to be about the same for 2006.
Critical
Accounting Policies
There
have been no
material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the
information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, except as follows:
Stock-Based
Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance
with the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option - pricing
model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions
include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock
options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of
the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of
options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements
(“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the
estimate of fair value stock-based compensation and consequently, the related
amount recognized on the consolidated statements of income.
See
note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, “Stock Based Compensation”, for a more
detailed discussion of the effects of
SFAS
123(R) on our
results of operations and financial condition.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
statements
made in this report are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking
statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
or “anticipates,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or
comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. These statements reflect
our reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include
competition in the furniture industry including competition from lower-cost
foreign manufacturers, disruptions in offshore sourcing including those arising
from supply or distribution disruptions or those arising from changes in
political, economic and social conditions, as well as laws and regulations,
in
China or countries from which we source products, international trade policies
of the United States and countries from which we source products, manufacturing
realignment, the inability to raise prices in response to inflation and
increasing costs, the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, the inability
to obtain sufficient quantities of quality raw materials in a timely manner,
failure to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer tastes and fashions
in a
timely manner, business failures or loss of large customers, environmental
compliance costs, extended business interruption at manufacturing facilities,
and the impact of interest rate changes on the cost of terminating our defined
benefit pension plan. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date
of this filing, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or
otherwise.
ITEM 3.
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market
Risk
|
Our
revolving
credit facility bears interest at a variable rate; therefore, changes in
prevailing interest rates impact our borrowing costs. A one-percentage point
fluctuation in market interest rates would not have a material impact on
earnings during the first six months of 2006.
None
of our foreign
sales or purchases are denominated in foreign currency and we do not have any
foreign currency hedging transactions. While our foreign purchases are
denominated in U.S. dollars, a relative decline in the value of the U.S. dollar
could result in an increase in the cost of our component parts and finished
items obtained from offshore sourcing and reduce our earnings, unless we are
able to increase our prices for these items to reflect any such increased
cost.
ITEM 4.
|
Controls
and Procedures
|
(a)
|
Evaluation
of
disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with
the
participation of our management, including our principal executive
officer
and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under
Rule
13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal
executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that
our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of
the
period covered by this quarterly
report.
|
(b)
|
Changes
in
internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes
in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
second
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
