Notes

(Unaudited)

|
Business
and Basis of Presentation
|
Nature
of Business
|
Prestige
Brands Holdings, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” which reference
shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige
Brands Holdings, Inc. and all of its direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the marketing, sales and
distribution of over-the-counter healthcare, personal care and household
cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and club stores
primarily in the United States, Canada and certain international
markets. Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. is a holding company with no
assets or operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior revolving
credit facility, senior secured term loan facility and the senior subordinated
notes more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. In the opinion of management, the financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30,
2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
year
ending March 31, 2008. This financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2007. References in these financial statements or notes thereto to a
year (e.g. “2007”) means the Company’s fiscal quarter ended on June 30th of that
year.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are
based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company
may undertake in the future, actual results could differ materially from those
estimates. As discussed below, the Company’s most significant
estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible
assets, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances and inventory
obsolescence.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term deposits and investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held by one
bank located in Wyoming. The Company does not believe that, as a
result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond
the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the
ordinary course of business. The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable based upon historical collection experience and
expected collectibility of the accounts receivable. In an effort to
reduce credit risk, the Company (i) has established credit limits for all of
its
customer relationships, (ii) performs ongoing credit evaluations of
-6-
customers’
financial condition, (iii) monitors the payment history and aging of customers’
receivables, and (iv) monitors open orders against an individual customer’s
outstanding receivable balance.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or fair value, where cost is determined by
using
the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides an allowance for
slow moving and obsolete inventory, whereby it reduces inventories for the
diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues
affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the
inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the
determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and
historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive
pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates,
and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line
method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years
|
|
Machinery
|
5
|
Computer
equipment
|
3
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
7
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
5
|
Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When
an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is
recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Property
and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill
The
excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired
and
liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations is classified as
goodwill. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company does not amortize goodwill,
but performs impairment tests of the carrying value at least
annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the “brand”
level which is one level below the operating segment level.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets, which are composed primarily of trademarks, are stated at cost less
accumulated amortization. For intangible assets with finite lives,
amortization is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives
ranging from five to 20 years.
Indefinite
lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, while
intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
may
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Deferred
Financing Costs
The
Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its long-term
debt. These costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and
amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective
interest method, over the term of the related debt.
-7-
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
are recognized in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition,” when the following
criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the
product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk
of
loss; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of
the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company has
determined that the transfer of risk of loss occurs when product is received
by
the customer and, accordingly, recognizes revenue at that
time. Provision is made for estimated discounts related to customer
payment terms and estimated product returns at the time of sale based on the
Company’s historical experience.
As
is customary in
the consumer products industry, the
Company
participates
in the promotional programs of its customers to enhance the sale of its
products. The cost of these promotional programs varies based
on the actual number of units sold during a finite period of time. The
Company estimates the cost of such promotional programs at their inception
based
on historical experience and current market conditions and reduces sales by
such
estimates. These
promotional
programs consist of direct to consumer incentives such as coupons and
temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to the Company’s customers,
such as slotting fees and cooperative advertising. Estimates of the
costs of these promotional programs are based on (i) historical sales
experience, (ii) the current offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current
market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing
personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the
estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.
Due
to
the nature of the consumer products industry, the Company is required to
estimate future product returns. Accordingly, the Company records an
estimate of product returns concurrent with recording sales which is made after
analyzing (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii)
changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of the
Company’s product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product
formulation, packaging and advertising.
Costs
of Sales
Costs
of
sales include product costs, warehousing costs, inbound and outbound shipping
costs, and handling and storage costs. Shipping, warehousing and
handling costs were $5.6 million and $5.7 million for 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Advertising
and Promotion Costs
Advertising
and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Slotting fees
associated with products are recognized as a reduction of
sales. Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company’s
products to be placed on the stores’ shelves in exchange for such
fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a
reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.
Stock-based
Compensation
During
fiscal 2006,
the Company adopted FASB, Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”
(“Statement No. 123(R)”) with the grants of restricted stock and options to
purchase common stock to employees and directors in accordance with the
provisions of the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). Statement No. 123(R) requires the Company to measure the
cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity
award. Compensation expense is to be recognized over the period an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally
referred to as the requisite service period. The Company recorded
stock-based compensation charges of $460,000 during 2007, while during 2006,
the
Company recorded a net non-cash compensation credit of $9,000 due to the
reversal of compensation charges in the amount of $142,000 associated with
the
departure of a former member of management.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are recorded in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No.
109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement No. 109”). Pursuant to
Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on
the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected
to be realized.

In
June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”), which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a
company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement No.
109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result,
the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all
tax
uncertainties. FIN 48 only allows the recognition of those tax
benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon
examination by the various taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN
48, effective April 1, 2007, did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment
to
the opening balance of retained earnings or adjustment to any of the components
of assets, liabilities or equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
The
Company is subject to taxation in the US, various state and foreign
jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by tax
authorities for years after 2003.
The
Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative
Instruments
FASB
Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (“Statement No. 133”), requires companies to recognize derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair
value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part
of a
hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging
relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated
and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging
instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a
cash
flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
The
Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges
because they hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that
are attributable to interest rate risk. For these hedges, the
effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into
earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in
the
same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Any
ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is
recorded in results of operations immediately.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is calculated based on income available to common
stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the
reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on
income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of
common and potential common shares outstanding during the reporting
period. Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights
and unvested restricted shares, are included in the earnings per share
calculation to the extent that they are dilutive.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable at both June
30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature
of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt at both
June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 approximates fair value based on interest
rates
for instruments with similar terms and maturities.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“Statement No. 159”). Statement No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which
the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. Statement No. 159 is effective for the
Company’s interim financial statements issued after April 1,
2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of
Statement No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
-9-
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“Statement No. 157”) to address inconsistencies in the definition and
determination of fair value pursuant to GAAP. Statement No. 157
provides a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements in an effort to increase comparability related to the recognition
of market-based assets and liabilities and their impact on
earnings. Statement No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim
financial statements issued after April 1, 2008. The Company is
evaluating the impact that the adoption of Statement No. 157 will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
Management
has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial
and
regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other
pronouncement that could have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

Effective
as of December 19, 2006: (i) a Second Supplemental Indenture (“Second
Supplemental Indenture”), and (ii) a Guaranty Supplement (“Indenture Guaranty
Supplement”) were entered into with the trustee for the holders
-13-
of
the
Senior Subordinated Notes. The Second Supplemental Indenture
supplements and amends the Indenture, dated as of April 6, 2004, as supplemented
on October 6, 2004 (“Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second
Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture Guaranty Supplement, the Company agreed
to guaranty all of the obligations of Prestige Brands, Inc., an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PBI”), set forth in the Indenture
governing PBI’s Senior Subordinated Notes. The Second Supplemental
Indenture also amended the covenant requiring Prestige Brands International,
LLC
(“Prestige Brands International”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”). So long as the Company or any other guarantor is required to
file periodic reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
substantially the same as the periodic reports that Prestige Brands
International would otherwise be required to file with the SEC pursuant to
the
Indenture, Prestige Brands International is not required to file such
reports.
Also
effective as of December 19, 2006, a Joinder Agreement (“Joinder Agreement”) and
a Guaranty Supplement (“Credit Agreement Guaranty Supplement”) were entered into
with the administrative agent for the lenders under the Senior Credit
Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Joinder Agreement and the
Credit Agreement Guaranty Supplement, the Company agreed to become a party
to
the Pledge and Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) and the Guaranty
(“Credit Agreement Guaranty”), each dated as of April 6, 2004, by PBI and
certain of its affiliates in favor of the lenders. The Security
Agreement and the Credit Agreement Guaranty secure the performance by PBI of
its
obligations under the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2004, as amended
(“Credit Agreement”), by granting security interests to PBI’s lenders in
collateral owned by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and providing
guaranties of such obligations by certain of PBI’s affiliates.
The
Senior Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including
provisions that require the Company to maintain certain leverage ratios,
interest coverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Senior
Credit Facility and the Senior Subordinated Notes also contain provisions that
restrict the Company from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as
asset
dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchase of common shares
outstanding, changes of control, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens,
making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the
Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Subordinated Notes contain cross-default
provisions whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of either
indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness. At
June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with its applicable financial
and
other covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture.

In
an
effort to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates, the Company entered
into interest rate cap agreements with various financial
institutions. In June 2004, the Company purchased a 5% interest
rate cap with a notional amount of $20.0 million which expired in June
2006. In March 2005, the Company purchased interest rate cap agreements
with a total notional amount of $180.0 million and cap rates ranging from 3.25%
to 3.75%. On May 31, 2006, an interest rate cap agreement with a
notional amount of $50.0 million and a 3.25% cap rate
expired. Additionally, an interest rate cap agreement with a notional
amount of $80.0 million and a 3.50% cap rate expired on May 30,
2007. The remaining agreement, with a notional amount of $50.0
million and a cap rate of 3.75%, terminates on May 30, 2008. The
Company is accounting for the interest rate cap agreements as cash flow
hedges. The fair values of the interest rate cap agreements, which
are included in other long-term assets, were $767,000 and $1.2 million at June
30, 2007 and March 31,
2007,
respectively.

Share-Based
Compensation
|
In
connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Board of Directors
adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for the
grant, to a maximum of 5.0 million shares, of stock options, restricted stock
units, deferred stock units and other equity-based awards. Directors,
officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as
others performing services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the
Plan. The Company believes that such awards better align the
interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.
During
2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123(R) with the initial grants of
restricted stock and options to purchase common stock to employees and directors
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. During 2007, the
Company recorded compensation costs and related tax benefits of $460,000 and
$175,000, respectively, while during 2006, the Company recorded a credit to
income of $9,000 due to the reversal of compensation costs in connection with
the departure of a former member of management. No restricted shares
were issued in 2006.
Restricted
Shares
Restricted
shares granted under the plan generally vest in 3 to 5 years, contingent on
attainment of Company performance goals, including both revenue and earnings
per
share growth targets or time vesting as determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors. Certain restricted share awards provide
for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control. The fair
value of nonvested restricted shares is determined as the closing price of
the
Company’s common stock on the day preceding the grant date. The
weighted-average grant-date fair values during 2007 were $12.52.

Options
The
Plan
provides that the exercise price of the option granted shall be no less than
the
fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is
granted. Options granted have a term of no greater than 10 years from
the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the
time
the option is granted, generally 3 to 5 years. Certain option awards
provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control.
The
fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) that uses the
assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are
based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and other
factors, including the historical volatilities of comparable
companies. The Company uses appropriate historical data, as well as
current data, to estimate option exercise and employee termination
behaviors. Employees that are expected to exhibit similar exercise or
termination behaviors are grouped together for the purposes of
valuation. The expected terms of the
-16-
options
granted are derived from management’s estimates and information derived from the
public filings of companies similar to the Company and represent the period
of
time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The
risk-free rate represents the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity
equal
to the expected term of the granted option. The weighted-average
grant-date fair value of the options granted during 2007 was
$12.86. There were no options granted during 2006.

Appreciation Rights (“SARS”)
The
Plan
provides that the issuance price of a SAR shall be no less than the market
price
of the Company’s common stock on the date the SAR is granted. SARS
may be granted with a term of no greater than 10 years from the date of grant
and will vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the SAR
is
granted, generally 3 to 5 years. The Board of Directors, in its sole
discretion, may settle the Company’s obligation to the executive in shares of
the Company’s common stock, cash, other securities of the Company or any
combination thereof. The weighted-average grant date fair value of
the SARS granted during 2007 was $3.68. The fair value of each SAR
award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Model using
the
assumptions noted in the following table.

At
June
30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, there were $5.2 million and $1.4 million,
respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested
share-based compensation arrangements under the Plan based on management’s
estimate of the shares that will ultimately vest. The Company expects
to recognize such costs over the next 3.0 years. However, certain of
the restricted shares vest upon the attainment of Company performance goals
and
if such goals are not met, no compensation costs would ultimately be recognized
and any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed. At
June 30, 2007, there were 4.2 million shares available for issuance under the
Plan.

Income
Taxes
|
Income
taxes are recorded in the Company’s quarterly financial statements based on the
Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate. The effective
tax rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 38.0% and 39.1% for
2007
and 2006, respectively. The reduction in the income tax rates results
from the implementation of initiatives to obtain operational, as well as tax,
efficiencies during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
At
June
30, 2007, Medtech Products Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
had a
net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2.6 million which may be
used
to offset future taxable income of the consolidated group and which begins
to
expire in 2020. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an
annual limitation as to usage under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 of
approximately $240,000.
Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The
legal
proceedings in which we are involved have been disclosed previously in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. The following disclosure contains recent developments in our
pending legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with the legal
proceedings disclosure contained in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on
Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
OraSure
Technologies Litigation
On
July
12, 2007, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
issued an Order affirming the Order of the Supreme Court of the State of New
York which denied OraSure Technologies’ petition for a preliminary injunction
that would have prohibited the Company from selling cryogenic wart removal
products under the Wartner® brand. In addition, the Appellate
Division dismissed OraSure Technologies’ appeal from the Supreme Court’s Order
which denied OraSure Technologies’ motion for reargument. Based on
the foregoing, the Appellate Division held that a preliminary injunction was
not
an appropriate remedy in the action and recalled and vacated its Order dated
May
17, 2007, which granted a preliminary injunction. An arbitration
hearing is scheduled to be held in August 2007.
The
Company is also involved from time to time in other routine
legal matters and other claims incidental to its business. The Company
reviews outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel
as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss. These
assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information
becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if
any
existing reserve should be adjusted. The actual cost of resolving a claim
or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of
the
recorded reserve. In addition, because it is not permissible under
generally accepted accounting principles to establish a litigation reserve
until
the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient
time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon
verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly
negotiated settlement). The Company believes the resolution of routine
matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance,
will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition
or
results from operations.

Concentrations
of Risk
|
The
Company’s sales are concentrated in the areas of over-the-counter healthcare,
household cleaning and personal care products. The Company sells its
products to mass merchandisers, food and drug accounts, and dollar and club
stores. During 2007 and 2006, approximately 56.5%, and 59.2%,
respectively, of the Company’s total sales were derived from its four major
brands. During 2007 and 2006, approximately 24.9% and 25.2%,
respectively, of the Company’s net sales were made to one
customer. At June 30, 2007, approximately 21.9% of accounts
receivable were owed by the same customer.
The
Company manages product distribution in the continental United States through
a
main distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri. A serious
disruption, such as a flood or fire, to the main distribution center could
damage the Company’s inventories and could materially impair the Company’s
ability to distribute its products to customers in a timely manner or at a
reasonable cost. The Company could incur significantly higher costs
and experience longer lead times associated with the distribution of its
products to its customers during the time that it takes the Company to reopen
or
replace its distribution center. As a result, any such disruption
could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s sales and
profitability.
The
Company has relationships with over 40 third-party manufacturers. Of
those, the top 10 manufacturers produced items that accounted for approximately
78% of the Company’s gross sales for 2007. The Company does not have
long-term contracts with 3 of these manufacturers and certain manufacturers
of
various smaller brands, which collectively, represented approximately 35% of
the
Company’s gross sales for 2007. The lack of manufacturing agreements
for these products exposes the Company to the risk that a manufacturer could
stop producing the Company’s products at any time, for any reason or fail to
provide the Company with the level of products the Company needs to meet its
customers’ demands. Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell
to the Company’s customers, sales would decrease materially and the Company’s
business would suffer.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related
notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March
31, 2007. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking
statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and
uncertainties. Future results could differ materially from the
discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in
Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as well as those described in future reports
filed with the SEC. See also “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward
Looking Statements” on page 35 of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
General
We
are
engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of brand name over-the-counter
healthcare, household cleaning and personal care products to mass merchandisers,
drug stores, supermarkets and club stores primarily in the United States and
Canada. We operate in niche segments of these categories where we can
use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network,
a
low-cost operating model and our experienced management team as a competitive
advantage to grow our presence in these categories and, as a result, grow our
sales and profits.
We
have
grown our brand portfolio by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from
larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies, as well as other brands
from smaller private companies. While the brands we have purchased
from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies have long histories
of support and brand development, we believe that at the time we acquired them
they were considered “non-core” by their previous owners and did not benefit
from the focus of senior level management or strong marketing
support. We believe that the brands we have purchased from smaller
private companies have been constrained by the limited resources of their prior
owners. After acquiring a brand, we seek to increase its sales,
market share and distribution in both existing and new channels. We
pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and promotion,
new
marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative new
products.
In
October 2005, we completed the acquisition of the “Chore Boy®” brand of cleaning
pads and sponges. The purchase price of this acquisition was $22.6
million, including direct costs of $400,000. We purchased the Chore
Boy brand with funds generated from operations.
In
November 2005, we completed the acquisition of Dental Concepts LLC, a marketer
of therapeutic oral care products sold under “The Doctor’s®”
brand. The purchase price of the ownership interests was
approximately $30.2 million, including fees and expenses of the acquisition
of
$1.3 million. We financed the acquisition price through the
utilization of our Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $30.0 million
and
cash on hand.
In
September 2006, we completed the acquisition of Wartner USA B.V., a privately
held Netherlands limited liability company, which owned the intellectual
property associated with the “Wartner®”
brand of
over-the-counter wart treatment products. The purchase price of this
acquisition was $31.2 million, inclusive of direct costs of the acquisition
of
$216,000. We purchased the Wartner brand with funds generated from
operations and the assumption of approximately $5.0 million of contingent
payments to the former owner of the Wartner brand.

Revenues
for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $2.7 million, or 3.5%,
versus 2006, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Wartner brand,
acquired in September of 2006. Excluding the impact the Wartner
acquisition, revenues were down 0.5%.
Over-the-Counter
Healthcare Segment
Revenues
of the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment increased by $2.8 million, or 7.1%,
for 2007 versus 2006. The increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the Wartner brand in September 2006. Excluding the
impact of this acquisition, revenues were down 0.7% for the
period. Revenue increases for Compound W®,
Little Remedies®,
Murine®,
New Skin®
and Dermoplast®
were offset by revenue decreases for the Chloraseptic®,
Clear eyes®,
and The Doctor’s brands. The Compound W revenue increase was
primarily the result of a change in the timing of promotional shipments in
the
current period which shipped a quarter earlier in the previous calendar
year. Little Remedies’ revenue increased during the period primarily
as a result of strong consumer consumption. Murine’s revenue
increased as a result of the launch of EarigateTM,
the new item that helps prevent earwax build-up with its patented reverse spray
technology. New Skin’s revenue increase is due to higher consumer
consumption. The Dermoplast revenue increase is primarily a result of
increased distribution of its Poison Ivy Treatment product. The Clear
eyes sales decline is a result of strong pipeline sales of new items during
the
prior year period. The Doctor’s brand revenue decline is a result of
slowing consumer consumption of The Doctor’s NightguardTM
dental protector which resulted from competitive entries into the bruxism
category during the quarter.
Household
Cleaning Segment
Revenues
of the Household Cleaning segment declined 1% for 2007 versus the comparable
period in 2006, as a result of sales declines of Chore Boy, partially offset
by
modest revenue increases of Comet®
and Spic
and Span®
brands. Chore Boy revenues were below very strong prior year period
sales which benefited from strong distributor purchases in advance of a price
increase. Comet revenue increased as a result of Comet Spray Gel
which was launched in the prior fiscal quarter. Spic and Span’s
revenue increase was primarily the result of new distribution of the
antibacterial spray item in the second half of fiscal year 2007.
Personal
Care Segment
Revenues
of the Personal Care segment experienced a slight increase for 2007 versus
the
comparable period in 2006. The increase in revenue is attributable to
the Cutex®,
Denorex®
and
Prell®
brands. Cutex revenue increased slightly as a result of the new
“pump” bottle product. Denorex shipments decreased during the period,
however, net revenues increased due to lower product returns from trade
customers compared to the comparable period of 2006. Prell’s revenue
increased in line with consumer consumption.

percent of total revenue, gross profit increased from 52.2% in 2006 to 52.5%
during 2007. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily
the result of a shift in sales to the higher margin OTC Healthcare
segment.
Over-the-Counter
Healthcare Segment
Gross
profit of the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment increased $1.8 million, or
7.3%, for 2007 versus 2006. As a percent of OTC revenue, gross profit
increased from 63.6% for 2006 to 63.7% during 2007. The slight
increase in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of lower inventory
obsolescence costs.
Household
Cleaning Segment
Gross
profit of the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $446,000, or 3.7%, for
2007 versus 2006. As a percent of household cleaning revenue, gross
profit decreased from 39.7% for 2006 to 38.5% during 2007. The
decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily a result of higher product
costs partially offset by lower distribution costs.
Personal
Care Segment
Gross
profit of the Personal Care segment increased $298,000, or 12.1%, for 2007
versus 2006. As a percent of personal care revenue, gross profit
increased from 39.4% for 2006 to 43.7% during 2007. The increase in
gross profit percentage was primarily a result lower product returns and a
reduction in promotional pricing allowances.

Contribution
margin, defined as gross profit less advertising and promotional expenses,
for
2007 increased $1.3 million, or 4.1%, for 2007 versus 2006. The
contribution margin increase was a result of the increase in sales and gross
profit as previously discussed, partially offset by a $400,000, or 3.7% increase
in advertising and promotional spending. The increase was primarily
attributable to the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment.
Over-the-Counter
Healthcare Segment
Contribution
margin for the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment increased by $1.4 million,
or
7.0%, for 2007 versus 2006. The contribution margin increase was a
result of the increase in sales and gross profit as previously discussed,
partially offset by a $400,000, or an 8.4% increase in advertising and
promotional spending. The increase in advertising and promotional
spending was primarily a result of increased television media behind The
Doctor’s NightguardTM and Compound
W brands.
-24-
Household
Cleaning Segment
Contribution
margin for the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $385,000, or 3.8%, for
2007 versus 2006. The contribution margin decrease was a result of
the decrease in sales and gross profit as previously discussed, partially offset
by a $61,000, or a 3.6% reduction in advertising and promotional
spending. The decrease was a result of a modest reduction of
promotional spending behind the Chore Boy and Spic and Span brands.
Personal
Care Segment
Contribution
margin for the Personal Care segment was up $308,000, or 14.2%, for 2007 versus
2006. The contribution margin increase was primarily the result of
the sales and gross profit increase previously discussed.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses were $7.6 million for 2007 versus $6.4 million
for
2006. The increase was primarily related to higher stock based
compensation and legal costs.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $2.8 million for 2007 versus $2.4 million for
2006. The increase in amortization of intangible assets is related to
the Wartner acquisition, which was partially offset by a slight reduction in
depreciation expense.
Interest
Expense
Net
interest expense was $9.7 million for 2007 versus $9.8 million for
2006. The reduction in interest expenses was the result of a lower
level of indebtedness partially offset by higher interest rates on our variable
rate indebtedness. The average cost of funds increased from 7.9% for
2006 to 8.5% for 2007.
Income
Taxes
The
income tax provision for 2007 was $5.1 million, with an effective rate of 38.0%,
compared to $5.3 million, with an effective rate of 39.1% for
2006. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Company
implemented various initiatives to obtain operational, as well as tax,
efficiencies.
-25-
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We
have
financed and expect to continue to finance our operations with a combination
of
internally generated funds and borrowings. Pursuant to the terms of
the Senior Credit Facility, we may borrow an additional $200.0 million under
our
Tranche B Term Loan Facility and up to a maximum of $60.0 million under our
Revolving Credit Facility. Our principal uses of cash are for
operating expenses, debt service, acquisitions, working capital and capital
expenditures.

Net
cash
used for investing activities was $111,000 for 2007 compared to $297,000 for
2006. The net cash used for investing activities for both 2007 and
2006 was primarily for the acquisition of machinery, computers and office
equipment.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash
used for financing activities was $15.9 million for 2007 compared to $7.9
million for 2006. During 2007, the Company repaid $15.0 million of
indebtedness in excess of normal maturities with cash generated from
operations. This reduced our outstanding indebtedness to $447.5
million from $463.4 million at March 31, 2007. During 2006, the
Company repaid the remaining $7.0 million indebtedness related to our Revolving
Credit Facility which was drawn upon in connection with the November 2005
acquisition of Dental Concepts LLC.
The
Company’s cash flow from operations is normally expected to exceed net income
due to the substantial non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization
of intangibles, increases in deferred income tax liabilities resulting from
differences in the amortization of intangible assets and goodwill for income
tax
and financial reporting purposes, the amortization of certain deferred financing
costs and stock-based compensation.
Capital
Resources
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of $447.5 million of outstanding
indebtedness, which consisted of the following:
·
|
$321.5
million of borrowings under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility,
and
|
·
|
$126.0
million of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2012.
|
We
had
$60.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit
Facility at such time, as well as $200.0 million available under the Tranche
B
Term Loan Facility.
-26-
All
loans
under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates, based on
either the prime rate, or at our option, the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable
margin. As of June 30, 2007, an aggregate of $321.5 million was
outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest
rate
of 7.63%.
In
June
2004, we purchased a 5% interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount
of
$20.0 million which expired in June 2006. In March 2005, we purchased
interest rate cap agreements that became effective August 30, 2005, with a
total
notional amount of $180.0 million and LIBOR cap rates ranging from 3.25% to
3.75%. On May 31, 2006, an interest rate cap agreement with a
notional amount of $50.0 million and a 3.25% cap rate
expired. Additionally, an interest rate cap agreement with a notional
amount of $80.0 million and a 3.50% cap rate expired on May 30,
2007. The remaining agreement, with a notional amount of $50.0
million and a cap rate of 3.75%, terminates on May 30, 2008. The fair
value of the interest rate cap agreement was $767,000 at June 30,
2007.
The
Tranche B Term Loan Facility matures in October 2011. We must make
quarterly principal payments on the Tranche B Term Loan Facility equal to
$887,500, representing 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term
loan. The Revolving Credit Facility matures and the commitments
relating to the Revolving Credit Facility terminate in April 2009.
The
Senior Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including
provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage ratios, interest
coverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios. In addition, the
Senior Credit Facility, as well as the Indenture governing the Senior
Subordinated Notes, contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on
certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate
actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payment of dividends and
other specified payments, repurchasing the Company’s equity securities in the
public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans
and
investments and transactions with affiliates. Specifically, we
must:
·
|
Have
a leverage ratio of less than 5.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June
30,
2007, decreasing over time to 3.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending
September
30, 2010, and remaining level
thereafter,
|
·
|
Have
an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.75 to 1.0 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007, increasing over time to 3.25 to 1.0 for the
quarter
ending March 31, 2010, and
|
·
|
Have
a fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 for the
quarter
ended June 30, 2007, and for each quarter thereafter until the quarter
ending March 31, 2011.
|
At
June
30, 2007, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive
covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the
Senior Subordinated Notes.
Our
principal sources of funds are anticipated to be cash flows from operating
activities and available borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility. We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient
liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial
obligations, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital
expenditures and other needs for at least the next 12 months. As part
of our growth strategy, we regularly review acquisition opportunities and other
potential strategic transactions, which may require additional debt or equity
financing. If additional financing is required, there are no
assurances that it will be available, or if available, that it can be obtained
on terms favorable to us or on a basis that is not dilutive to our
stockholders.

(based
on the terms of the loan agreements) were made and assuming a weighted
average interest rate of 8.09%. Estimated interest obligations
would be different under different assumptions regarding interest
rates or
timing of principal payments. If interest rates on borrowings
with variable rates increased by 1%, interest expense would increase
approximately $3.2 million, in the first year. However, given
the protection afforded by the interest rate cap agreements, the
impact of
a one percentage point increase would be limited to $2.7
million.
|
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with
special-purpose entities.
Inflation
Inflationary
factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials,
purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating
results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material
impact on our financial condition or results from operations for the periods
referred to above, a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results from
operations. The current volatility of the crude oil markets will
continue to impact, at times favorably and at times unfavorably, our
transportation costs, as well as, certain petroleum based raw materials and
packaging materials. Although the Company takes efforts to minimize
the impact of inflationary factors, including raising prices to our customers,
a
sustained rate of pricing increases associated with crude oil supplies may
have
an adverse effect on our operating results.
Seasonality
The
first
quarter of our fiscal year typically has the lowest level of revenue due to
the
seasonal nature of certain of our brands relative to the summer and winter
months. In addition, the first quarter is the least profitable
quarter due to the increased advertising and promotional spending to support
those brands with a summer selling season, such as Compound W, Wartner, Cutex
and New Skin. The Company’s advertising and promotional campaign in
the third quarter influence sales in the fourth quarter winter
months. Additionally, the fourth quarter typically has the lowest
level of advertising and promotional spending as a percent of
revenue.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the
unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report
on
Form 10-Q, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March
31, 2007. While all significant accounting policies are important to our
consolidated financial statements, certain of these policies may be viewed
as
being critical. Such policies are those that are both most important to
the portrayal of our financial condition and results from operations and require
our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or the related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based
upon our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different conditions. The most
critical accounting policies are as follows:
Revenue
Recognition
We
comply
with the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition,” which states that revenue should be
recognized when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (1)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has been shipped
and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss; (3) the selling
price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable
is reasonably assured. We have determined that the transfer of risk
of loss occurs when product is received by the customer, and, accordingly
recognize revenue at that time. Provision is made for estimated
discounts related to customer payment terms and estimated product returns at
the
time of sale based on our historical experience.
As
is
customary in the consumer products industry, we participate in the promotional
programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. The
cost of these promotional programs is recorded in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to
a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)” as either
advertising and promotional expenses or as a reduction of sales. Such
costs vary from period-to-period based on the actual number of units sold during
a finite period of time. We estimate the cost of such promotional
programs at their inception based on historical experience and current market
conditions and reduce sales by such estimates. These promotional
programs consist of direct to consumer incentives such as coupons and temporary
price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as slotting
fees
and cooperative advertising. We do not provide incentives to
customers for the acquisition of product in excess of normal inventory
quantities since such incentives increase the potential for future returns,
as
well as reduce sales in the subsequent fiscal periods.
Estimates
of costs of promotional programs are based on (i) historical sales experience,
(ii) the current offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market
conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing
personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the
estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results. While our
promotional expense for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $16.5 million, we
participated in 5,900 promotional campaigns, resulting in an average cost of
$2,800 per campaign. Of such amount, only 582 payments were in excess
of $5,000. We believe that the estimation methodologies
employed, combined with the nature of the promotional campaigns, makes the
likelihood remote that our obligation would be misstated by a material
amount. However, for illustrative purposes, had we underestimated the
promotional program rate by 10% for the three month period ended June 30,
2007, our sales and operating income would have been adversely affected by
approximately $464,000.
We
also
periodically run coupon programs in Sunday newspaper inserts or as on-package
instant redeemable coupons. We utilize a national clearing house to
process coupons redeemed by customers. At the time a coupon is
distributed, a provision is made based upon historical redemption rates for
that
particular product, information provided as a result of the clearing house’s
experience with coupons of similar dollar value, the length of time the coupon
is valid, and the seasonality of the coupon drop, among other
factors. During the year ended March 31, 2007, we had 17 coupon
events. The amount recorded against revenues and accrued for these
events during the year was $2.7 million, of which $2.3 million was redeemed
during the year. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007,
we had 8 coupon events. The amount recorded against revenues and
accrued for these events
-29-
during
the three month period ended June 30, 2007 was $476,000, of which $412,000
was
redeemed during the period.
Allowances
for Product Returns
Due
to
the nature of the consumer products industry, we are required to estimate
future product returns. Accordingly, we record an estimate of
product returns concurrent with the recording of sales. Such
estimates are made after analyzing (i) historical return rates, (ii) current
economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance,
(v)
seasonality of our product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in
product formulation, packaging and advertising.
We
construct our returns analysis by looking at the previous year’s return history
for each brand. Subsequently, each month, we estimate our current
return rate based upon an average of the previous six months’ return rate and
review that calculated rate for reasonableness giving consideration to the
other
factors described above. Our historical return rate has been relatively
stable; for example, for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, returns
represented 3.7%, 3.5%, and 3.6%, respectively, of gross sales. At
June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the allowances for sales returns were $1.8
million.
While
we
utilize the methodology described above to estimate product returns, actual
results may differ materially from our estimates, causing our future financial
results to be adversely affected. Among the factors that could cause
a material change in the estimated return rate would be significant unexpected
returns with respect to a product or products that comprise a significant
portion of our revenues. Based upon the methodology described above
and our actual returns’ experience, management believes the likelihood of such
an event is remote. As noted, over the last three years, our actual
product return rate has stayed within a range of 3.5% to 3.7% of gross
sales. An increase of 0.1% in our estimated return rate as a
percentage of gross sales would have adversely affected our reported sales
and
operating income for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 by
approximately $90,000.
Allowances
for Obsolete and Damaged Inventory
We
value
our inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Accordingly, we
reduce our inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product
obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability equal to the
difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market
value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market
value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates
of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product
introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging
obsolescence.
Many
of
our products are subject to expiration dating. As a general rule our
customers will not accept goods with expiration dating of less than 12 months
from the date of delivery. To monitor this risk, management utilizes
a detailed compilation of inventory with expiration dating between zero and
15
months and reserves for 100% of the cost of any item with expiration dating
of
12 months or less. At June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the allowance
for obsolete and slow moving inventory represented 2.4% and 5.8%, respectively,
of total inventory. A 1.0% increase in our allowance for obsolescence
at June 30, 2007 would have adversely affected our reported operating income
for
the three month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately
$292,000. During 2007, the Company recorded a credit of $289,000 to
operations for obsolescence due to the settlement of a claim from a vendor,
while during 2006, the Company recorded a charge to operations for inventory
obsolescence costs of $619,000.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
In
the
ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to
our customers on normal credit terms. We maintain an allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable which is based upon our historical collection
experience and expected collectibility of the accounts receivable. In
an effort to reduce our credit risk, we (i) establish credit limits for all
of
our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of our
customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of
our customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual
customer’s outstanding receivable balance.
-30-
We
establish specific reserves for those accounts which file for bankruptcy, have
no payment activity for 180 days or have reported major negative changes to
their financial condition. The allowance for bad debts at June 30,
2007 and March 31, 2007 amounted to 0.07% and 0.1%, respectively, of accounts
receivable. For 2007 and 2006 we recorded bad debt expense of $86,000
and $54,000, respectively.
While
management believes that it is diligent in its evaluation of the adequacy of
the
allowance for doubtful accounts, an unexpected event, such as the bankruptcy
filing of a major customer, could have an adverse effect on our future financial
results. A 0.1% increase in our bad debt expense as a percentage of
net sales would have resulted in a decrease in operating income for the three
month period ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $79,000.
Valuation
of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Goodwill
and intangible assets amounted to $965.5 million and $968.1 million at June
30,
2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2007,
goodwill and intangible assets were apportioned among our three operating
segments as follows:

Our
Clear
Eyes, New-Skin, Chloraseptic, Compound W and Wartner brands comprise the
majority of the value of the intangible assets within the Over-The-Counter
Healthcare segment. The Comet, Spic and Span and Chore Boy brands
comprise substantially all of the intangible asset value within the Household
Cleaning segment. Denorex, Cutex and Prell comprised substantially all of
the intangible asset value within the Personal Care segment.
Goodwill
and intangible assets comprise substantially all of our
assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase business
combination. Intangible assets generally represent our trademarks,
brand names and patents. When we acquire a brand, we are required to
make judgments regarding the value assigned to the associated intangible
assets, as well as their respective useful lives. Management
considers many factors, both prior to and after, the acquisition of an
intangible asset in determining the value, as well as the useful life, assigned
to each intangible asset that the Company acquires or continues to own and
promote. The most significant factors are:
·
|
Brand
History
|
A
brand
that has been in existence for a long period of time (e.g., 25, 50 or
100 years) generally warrants a higher valuation and longer life (sometimes
indefinite) than a brand that has been in existence for a very short period
of
time. A brand that has been in existence for an extended period of
time generally has been the subject of considerable investment by its previous
owner(s) to support product innovation and advertising and
promotion.
-31-
·
|
Market
Position
|
Consumer
products that rank number one or two in their respective market generally have
greater name recognition and are known as quality product offerings, which
warrant a higher valuation and longer life than products that lag in the
marketplace.
·
|
Recent
and Projected Sales Growth
|
Recent
sales results present a snapshot as to how the brand has performed in the most
recent time periods and represent another factor in the determination of brand
value. In addition, projected sales growth provides information about
the strength and potential longevity of the brand. A brand that has
both strong current and projected sales generally warrants a higher valuation
and a longer life than a brand that has weak or declining
sales. Similarly, consideration is given to the potential investment,
in the form of advertising and promotion, that is required to reinvigorate
a
brand that has fallen from favor.
·
|
History
of and Potential for Product
Extensions
|
Consideration
also is given to the product innovation that has occurred during the brand’s
history and the potential for continued product innovation that will determine
the brand’s future. Brands that can be continually enhanced by new
product offerings generally warrant a higher valuation and longer life than
a
brand that has always “followed the leader”.
After
consideration of the factors described above, as well as current economic
conditions and changing consumer behavior, management prepares a determination
of the intangible’s value and useful life based on its analysis of the
requirements of Statements No. 141 and No. 142. Under Statement No.
142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized,
but must be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible
assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives and must also be tested for impairment.
On
an
annual basis, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value
of the asset may not be recovered, management performs a review of both the
values and useful lives assigned to goodwill and intangible assets and tests
for
impairment.
Finite-Lived
Intangible Assets
As
mentioned above, management performs an annual review or more frequently if
necessary, to ascertain the impact of events and circumstances on the estimated
useful lives and carrying values of our trademarks and trade
names. In connection with this analysis, management:
·
|
Reviews
period-to-period sales and profitability by
brand,
|
·
|
Analyzes
industry trends and projects brand growth
rates,
|
·
|
Prepares
annual sales forecasts,
|
·
|
Evaluates
advertising effectiveness,
|
·
|
Analyzes
gross margins,
|
·
|
Reviews
contractual benefits or
limitations,
|
·
|
Monitors
competitors’ advertising spend and product
innovation,
|
·
|
Prepares
projections to measure brand viability over the estimated useful
life of
the intangible asset, and
|
·
|
Considers
the regulatory environment, as well as industry
litigation.
|
Should
analysis of any of the aforementioned factors warrant a change in the estimated
useful life of the intangible asset, management will reduce the estimated useful
life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining
useful life. Management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all
of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade
name and estimate the cash flows over its useful life. In the event
that the long-term projections indicate that the carrying value is in excess
of
the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible
assets, management is required to record an impairment charge. Once
that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to
estimate fair value. The impairment charge is measured as the excess
of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over fair
-32-
value
as
calculated using the discounted cash flow analysis. Future events,
such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising
support for our trademarks and trade names could cause subsequent evaluations
to
utilize different assumptions.
Indefinite-Lived
Intangible Assets
In
a
manner similar to finite-lived intangible assets, on an annual basis, or more
frequently if necessary, management analyzes current events and circumstances
to
determine whether the indefinite life classification for a trademark or trade
name continues to be valid. Should circumstance warrant a finite
life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized
prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life.
In
connection with this analysis, management also tests the indefinite-lived
intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the
intangible asset to its estimated fair value. Since quoted market
prices are seldom available for trademarks and trade names such as ours, we
utilize present value techniques to estimate fair value. Accordingly,
management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts,
circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade name and
estimate the cash flows over its useful life. In performing this
analysis, management considers the same types of information as listed above
in
regards to finite-lived intangible assets. Once that analysis is
completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair
value. Future events, such as competition, technological advances and
reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names could
cause
subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.
Goodwill
As
part
of its annual test for impairment of goodwill, management estimates the
discounted cash flows of each reporting unit, which is at the brand level,
and
one level below the operating segment level, to estimate their respective fair
values. In performing this analysis, management considers the same
types of information as listed above in regards to finite-lived intangible
assets. In the event that the carrying amount of the reporting unit
exceeds the fair value, management would then be required to allocate the
estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as
if
the unit was acquired in a business combination, thereby revaluing the carrying
amount of goodwill. In a manner similar to indefinite-lived assets,
future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in
advertising support for our trademarks and trade names could cause subsequent
evaluations to utilize different assumptions.
In
estimating the value of trademarks and trade names, as well as goodwill, at
March 31, 2007, management applied a discount rate of 9.5%, the Company’s then
current weighted-average cost of funds, to the estimated cash flows; however
that rate, as well as future cash flows may be influenced by such factors,
including (i) changes in interest rates, (ii) rates of inflation, or (iii)
sales
or contribution margin reductions. In the event that the carrying
value exceeded the estimated fair value of either intangible assets or goodwill,
we would be required to recognize an impairment charge. Additionally,
continued decline of the fair value ascribed to an intangible asset or a
reporting unit caused by external factors may require future impairment
charges.
During
the three month period ended March 31, 2006, we recorded non-cash charges
related to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of the Personal
Care
segment of $7.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, because the
carrying amounts of these “branded” assets exceeded their fair market
values primarily as a result of declining sales caused by product
competition. Should the related fair values of goodwill and
intangible assets continue to be adversely affected as a result of declining
sales or margins caused by competition, technological advances or reductions
in
advertising and promotional expenses, the Company may be required to record
additional impairment charges.
Stock-Based
Compensation
During
2006, we
adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement No.
123(R)”) with the initial grants of restricted stock and options to purchase
common stock to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of
the
Plan. Statement No. 123(R) requires us to measure the cost of
services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity
award. Compensation expense is to be recognized over the period which
an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally
referred to
-33-
as
the
requisite service period. Information utilized in the determination
of fair value includes the following:
·
|
Type
of instrument (i.e.: restricted shares vs. an option, warrant or
performance shares),
|
·
|
Strike
price of the instrument,
|
·
|
Market
price of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant,
|
·
|
Discount
rates,
|
·
|
Duration
of the instrument, and
|
·
|
Volatility
of the Company’s common stock in the public
market.
|
Additionally,
management must estimate the expected attrition rate of the recipients to enable
it to estimate the amount of non-cash compensation expense to be recorded in
our
financial statements. While management uses diligent analysis to
estimate the respective variables, a change in assumptions or market conditions,
as well as changes in the anticipated attrition rates, could have a significant
impact on the future amounts recorded as non-cash compensation
expense. The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of
$655,000 and $383,000 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $460,000, while during the
three month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash credit
of $9,000 as a result of the reversal of compensation charges in the amount
of
$142,000 associated with the departure of a former member of
management.
Loss
Contingencies
Loss
contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount of such loss is reasonable
estimable. Contingent losses are often resolved over longer periods
of time and involve many factors including:
·
|
Rules
and regulations promulgated by regulatory
agencies,
|
·
|
Sufficiency
of the evidence in support of our
position,
|
·
|
Anticipated
costs to support our position, and
|
·
|
Likelihood
of a positive outcome.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“Statement No. 159”). Statement No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which
the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. Statement No. 159 is effective for interim
financial statements issued during the fiscal year beginning after November
15,
2007. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of
Statement No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“Statement No. 157”) to address inconsistencies in the definition and
determination of fair value pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). Statement No. 157 provides a single definition of fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements in an effort to increase comparability
related to the recognition of market-based assets and liabilities and their
impact on earnings. Statement No. 157 is effective for interim
financial statements issued during the fiscal year beginning after November
15,
2007.
Management
has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial
and
regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other
pronouncement that could have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLR
Act”), including, without limitation, information within Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The
following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of
the
PSLR Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor”
provisions of the PSLR Act. Although we believe that our expectations
are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ materially from
those in our forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and
regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after
the
date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
Our
forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words
or
phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “will
be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” or other similar words and
phrases. Forward-looking statements and our plans and expectations
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated, and our business in general
is subject to such risks. As a result
of these
risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on
forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly
Report on
Form 10-Q
or that may be made
elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, us. All
forward-looking
statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by
these cautionary
statements. For more information, see “Risk Factors” contained
in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 2007. In addition, our expectations or beliefs concerning future
events involve risks and uncertainties, including, without
limitation:
·
|
General
economic conditions affecting our products and their respective
markets,
|
·
|
The
high level of competition in our industry and
markets,
|
·
|
Our
dependence on a limited number of customers for a large portion of
our
sales,
|
·
|
Disruptions
in our distribution center,
|
·
|
Acquisitions
or other strategic transactions diverting managerial resources, or
incurrence of additional liabilities or integration problems associated
with such transactions,
|
·
|
Changing
consumer trends or pricing pressures which may cause us to lower
our
prices,
|
·
|
Increases
in supplier prices,
|
·
|
Increases
in transportation fees and fuel
charges,
|
·
|
Changes
in our senior management team,
|
·
|
Our
ability to protect our intellectual property
rights,
|
·
|
Our
dependency on the reputation of our brand
names,
|
·
|
Shortages
of supply of sourced goods or interruptions in the manufacturing
of our
products,
|
·
|
Our
level of debt, and ability to service our
debt,
|
·
|
Any
adverse judgment rendered in any pending litigation or
arbitration,
|
·
|
Our
ability to obtain additional financing,
and
|
·
|
The
restrictions imposed by our financing agreements on our
operations.
|
-35-
We
are
exposed to changes in interest rates because our Senior Credit Facility is
variable rate debt. Interest rate changes, therefore, generally do not
affect the market value of such debt, but do impact the amount of our interest
payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other
factors are held constant. At June 30, 2007, we had variable rate
debt of approximately $321.5 million related to our Tranche B term
loan.
In
an
effort to protect the Company from the adverse impact that rising interest
rates
would have on our variable rate debt, we have entered into various interest
rate
cap agreements to hedge this exposure. In June 2004, we
purchased a 5% interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0
million which terminated in June 2006. In March 2005, we purchased
interest rate cap agreements that became effective August 30, 2005, with a
total notional amount of $180.0 million and LIBOR cap rates ranging from 3.25%
to 3.75%. On May 31, 2006, an interest rate cap agreement with a
notional amount of $50.0 million and a 3.25% cap rate
expired. Additionally, an interest rate cap agreement with a notional
amount of $80.0 million and a 3.5% cap rate expired on May 31,
2007. The remaining agreement, with a notional amount of $50.0
million and a cap rate of 3.75% terminates on May 31, 2008.
Holding
other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage
point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have an adverse
impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for fiscal 2008 of approximately
$3.2
million. However, given the protection afforded by the interest rate
cap agreements, the impact of a one percentage point increase would be limited
to $2.7 million. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement
was $767,000 at June 30, 2007.

OraSure
Technologies Litigation
On
July
12, 2007, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
issued an Order affirming the Order of the Supreme Court of the State of New
York which denied OraSure Technologies’ petition for a preliminary injunction
that would have prohibited the Company from selling cryogenic wart removal
products under the Wartner® brand. In addition, the Appellate
Division dismissed OraSure Technologies’ appeal from the Supreme Court’s Order
which denied OraSure Technologies’ motion for reargument. Based on
the foregoing, the Appellate Division held that a preliminary injunction was
not
an appropriate remedy in the action and recalled and vacated its Order dated
May
17, 2007, which granted a preliminary injunction. An arbitration
hearing is scheduled to be held in August 2007.
