Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates are generally accounted for using either cost or the equity method. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities where it is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Interim Period Reporting

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2005 Annual Report”).

The unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, net of applicable provision for discounts, returns and incentives, whether actual or estimated based on the Company’s experience. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement or purchase order, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The Company’s general shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point, where title is transferred and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped to customers. When the Company sells F.O.B. destination point, title is transferred and the Company recognizes revenue on delivery or customer acceptance, depending on terms of the sales agreement. Service sales, representing aftermarket repair and maintenance and engineering activities, though significantly less than 1% of net sales and not material to the consolidated financial statements, are recognized as the services are completed. If the actual costs of sales returns, incentives, and discounts were to significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowance, the Company’s sales would be adversely affected.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic net income (earnings) per share (“EPS”), to diluted EPS:

		Income			Shares		Per Share			Income			Shares		Per Share
Basic EPS
Income available to common stockholders		$	83,816		48,295		$	1.74		$	76,829		48,024		$	1.60

Diluted EPS
Income available to common stockholders		$	83,816		48,935		$	1.71		$	76,829		48,532		$	1.58

 

Anti-dilutive shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 989 thousand and 512 thousand shares subject to stock options were anti-dilutive, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 989 thousand and 896 thousand shares subject to stock options were anti-dilutive, respectively.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains two stock option plans under which it may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, though the Company has granted only non-qualified stock options under these plans. The Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) is principally for the Company’s employees and the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1995 Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) is for its independent directors. The Company generally grants options under each of the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan once each year. The exercise price per share under each option granted in January 2006 under the 1994 Plan equaled or exceeded the closing market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for the date when the Company first publicly announced its financial results for 2005. In prior years, stock options were granted under the 1994 Plan with the exercise price equal to or in excess of the closing market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of the preceding year. The exercise price per share under each option granted under the 1995 Plan is at the fair market value on the date specified in the 1995 Plan. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date.

Under the 1994 Plan, no more than 16 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be sold (including shares already sold) pursuant to all options granted under the 1994 Plan. Under the 1995 Plan, no more than 320 thousand

7

---

shares of common stock may be sold (including shares already sold) pursuant to all options granted under the 1995 Plan. Options granted under the 1994 Plan typically vest evenly over the requisite service period of four years and have a term of seven years. The vesting of options granted under the 1994 Plan will be accelerated if there is a change in control of the Company. Options granted under the 1995 Plan are fully vested on the date of grant.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share Based Payment (Revised 2004),” using the modified prospective application approach as the transition method. Prior periods are not restated under this method. The cash flow presentation changed whereby cash inflow from excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity, where applicable, rather than as an operating activity, as previously presented. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and since January 1, 2003, when the Company adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” and SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” the Company accounted for stock options on a fair value basis and used the prospective method of applying SFAS No. 123 for the transition. As of January 1, 2006, the Company had no unvested options which were accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations.

The following table represents the Company’s stock option activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

(in thousands)		Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2006			2005			2006			2005
Stock option expense recognized in operating expenses		$	1,887		$	1,404		$	5,442		$	4,414
Tax benefit of stock option expense in provision for income taxes		692			501			2,063			1,633
Stock option expense, net of tax		$	1,195		$	903		$	3,379		$	2,781
Fair value of shares vested		$	1,846		$	1,404		$	5,681		$	4,414
Proceeds to the Company from the exercise of stock options		$	869		$	1,534		$	5,435		$	2,412
Excess tax benefit from exercise of stock options		$	289		$	1,527		$	2,294		$	1,976

 

		At September 30,
		2006			2005
Stock option cost capitalized in inventory		$	239		$	—

 

The amounts included in cost of sales, selling, or general and administrative expenses depend on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock options were granted. Shares of common stock issued on exercise of stock options under the plans are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123R had no material effect on the Company’s income from continuing operations, income before tax, net income, or net income per share. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R resulted in $2.0 million in additional cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which previously would have been reported as cash flows from operating activities under SFAS No. 123.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options for all grants prior to January 1, 2003, been recognized based on the estimated fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been as follows:

(in thousands, except per-share amounts)		Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2005			2005
Net income, as reported		$	31,607		$	76,829
Add:  Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects		903			2,781
Deduct:  Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, net of related tax effects		910			2,803
Net income, pro forma		$	31,600		76,807
Net income per share
Basic, as reported		$	0.66		$	1.60
Basic, pro forma		0.66			1.60
Diluted, as reported		0.65			1.58
Diluted, pro forma		0.65			1.58

 

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience.

Under the 1994 Stock Option plan, the Company allows for full vesting on retirement if the employee becomes “retirement-eligible” by reaching age sixty. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based employee compensation expense was recorded over the nominal vesting period and if a retirement-eligible employee retired before the end of the vesting period, the Company recorded unrecognized compensation cost at the date of retirement (the “nominal vesting period approach”). The nominal vesting period is four years of service subsequent to the grant date. The “non-substantive vesting period approach” specifies that awards, in substance, become vested when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing service. Under this approach, the unrecorded compensation cost is expensed when that condition is met even if the employee continues providing service to the Company. This would be the case for existing grants when an employee becomes retirement-eligible, as well as when a retirement-eligible employee is granted an award. With the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the non-substantive vesting period approach for new grants that have retirement eligibility provisions. The accounting treatment of options granted to retirement-eligible employees prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R has not changed and financial statements for periods prior to adoption have not been restated for the effects of adopting SFAS 123R. Therefore, the expense recorded in 2006 comprises stock options that vest under both the non-substantive vesting period approach and the nominal vesting period approach. In contrast, the 2005 expense was calculated using the nominal vesting period approach. The effect on net income of applying the nominal vesting period approach versus the non-substantive vesting period approach was not material to the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will be

9

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, on the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3 ”How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” The Task Force agreed that a company should disclose its accounting policy regarding the gross or net presentation of certain taxes. If taxes included in gross revenues are significant, a company should disclose the amount of such taxes for each annual or interim period for which an income statement is presented. Taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3 are those that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. Taxes assessed on an entity’s activities over a period of time, such as income taxes or gross receipts taxes, are not within the scope of EITF 06-3. EITF 06-3 will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Management estimates that the effect on the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, or for any quarter of that year will be immaterial.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, on the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, or its fiscal quarters within that year. SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 expresses the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. The interpretations in SAB 108 were issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice for the build-up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. This statement is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements starting this year. Management continues to evaluate SAB 108 and its effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations. Based on current information, management does not believe that the effect will be material.

Revision in Classification

Historically, the Company has reported research and development and other engineering expenses as a component of cost of sales because of the integration of these departments within the manufacturing environment. On analysis of the current production environment, the Company has determined that it is more appropriate to report these amounts as operating expenses. The Company has elected to make this change to the condensed consolidated statement of operations beginning with the first quarter of 2006. Management has concluded that the effect of this revision in classification for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, which was an increase in gross profit of $3.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, was immaterial. The revision in classification had no effect on the Company’s consolidated income from operations, net income, net income per share, cash flows, or any balance sheet item for any period. The Company believes this change enhances the transparency of its financial statements and is appropriate given the organizational changes that have occurred as the Company has grown.
