Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

April 30, 2015

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016. The balance sheet at January 31, 2015, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 (“Form 10-K”). Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year statement of operations to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications did not have a material impact to the statement of operations. All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Note 2. Correction of Immaterial Errors

In connection with the preparation of the January 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that certain payments directly made to customers, which were previously included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, should instead be reflected as decreases to net sales. The current year Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations properly reflects payments directly made to customers as decreases to net sales. While the amounts included in prior year were considered to be immaterial, the Company elected to revise the presentation of previously reported amounts to be consistent with the presentation for the quarter ended April 30, 2015. The change resulted in decreases to net sales, gross margin and selling, general, and administrative expenses of $147,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 2014.

Note 3. Seasonality

The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has historically relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are government institutions, which tend to pay accounts receivable more slowly than commercial customers.

The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs, and stocking inventory.

Note 4. New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") an updated standard on revenue recognition. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so the Company may be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current authoritative guidance. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal

2017 and may be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating this new standard and expect it to have no impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that requires reporting entities to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face amount of that note payable presented in the balance sheet. The Accounting Standards Update is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity is required to apply the amendments in the Accounting Standards Update retrospectively to all prior periods. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of the Accounting Standards Update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods of manufactured products. In addition, the Company maintains an inventory of finished goods purchased for resale. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist of materials, labor, and overhead. The Company determines the cost of inventory by the first-in, first-out method. The value of inventory includes any related production overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

Management continually monitors production costs, material costs and inventory levels to determine that interim inventories are fairly stated.

Note 6. Debt

Outstanding balances (in thousands) for the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:



	4/30/2015		1/31/2015		4/30/2014
	(in thousands)
Revolving credit line	$	20,691	$	9,366	$	20,586
Other	153		153		—
Total debt	20,844		9,519		20,586
Less current portion	14,691		3,366		14,586
Non-current portion	$	6,153	$	6,153	$	6,000

On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The credit agreement currently matures on December 22, 2017 and has a maximum availability of $50,000,000, including sub-lines for letters of credit and equipment financing. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% to 1.75% or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% to 2.75%. The interest rate at April 30, 2015 was 4%. Approximately $8,407,000 was available for borrowing as of April 30, 2015.

The Credit Agreement prohibits the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company's capital stock, and contains numerous other covenants, including these financial covenants: (1) minimum tangible net worth, (2) fixed charge coverage ratio, and (3) minimum EBITDA amount, in each case as of the end of the relevant monthly, quarterly or annual measurement period. The Company was in compliance with its covenants during the first quarter of 2015. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Borrowers. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a clean down provision that requires the Company to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 for a period of 60 consecutive days each fiscal year.

The Company believes that the Revolving Credit Facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its capital requirements for at least in the next 12 months. Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at April 30, 2015 and 2014, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on this consideration, the Company determined the realization of a majority of the net deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not criteria and a valuation allowance was recorded against the majority of the net deferred tax assets at April 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 30, 2015 was impacted by the valuation allowance recognized against state deferred tax assets and discrete items associated with non-taxable permanent differences.

The Company is currently under IRS examination for the year ended January 31, 2013. No adjustments have been proposed. The years ended January 31, 2012 and forward remain open for examination by the IRS. The fiscal years ended January 31, 2011 and forward remain open for examination by state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under state examination.

During 2014, the Company completed Texas income tax examinations of the tax years ending January 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The examination did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of April 30, 2015, the Company has $45,000 of uncertain tax positions accrued. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of April 30, 2015, we do not believe that there are any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Note 8. Net Income (Loss) per Share



	Three Months Ended
	4/30/2015			4/30/2014
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net income (loss)	$	(3,178	)	$	(3,855	)
Average shares outstanding (a)	14,824			14,718
Net effect of dilutive stock options based on the treasury stock method using average market price	—			—
Totals	14,824			14,718

Net income (loss) per share - basic	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.26	)
Net income (loss) per share - diluted	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.26	)

(a) All exercisable and non-exercisable stock options were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share at April 30, 2015 and 2014, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The number of stock options outstanding, which met this anti-dilutive criterion for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, was 233,000 and 266,000, respectively.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders’ Rights

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company's two stock plans are the 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2007 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to its employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options or awards. Restricted stock or stock units awarded under the 2011 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock unit awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the awards granted. The Company granted 0 awards under the 2011

Plan during the quarter ended April 30, 2015. As of April 30, 2015, there were approximately 878,694 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.

Under the 2007 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares to its employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options or awards. Restricted stock or stock units awarded under the 2007 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock unit awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the awards granted. The Company granted 0 awards under the 2007 Plan during 2014 and 0 awards under the 2007 Plan during the quarter ended April 30, 2015. As of April 30, 2015, there were approximately 13,075 shares available for future issuance under the 2007 Plan.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

During the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. As of April 30, 2015, $1.1 million remained available for repurchases of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors, subject to restriction under the Company's Credit Agreement with PNC. Pursuant to the Company’s Credit Agreement with PNC, the Company is prohibited from repurchasing any shares of its stock except in cases where a repurchase is financed by a substantially concurrent issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries cover employees under a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, entitled the Virco Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”). Benefits under the Employees Retirement Plan are based on years of service and career average earnings. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under the Employees Retirement Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Retirement Plan (the “VIP Plan”). The VIP Plan provides a benefit of up to 50% of average compensation for the last 5 years in the VIP Plan, offset by benefits earned under the Pension Plan. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The Company also provides a non-qualified plan for certain former non-employee directors of the Company (the “Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan”). The Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan provides a lifetime annual retirement benefit equal to the director’s annual retainer fee for the fiscal year in which the director terminated his or her position with the Board, subject to the director having provided 10 years of service to the Company. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The net periodic pension cost (income) for the Pension Plan, the VIP Plan, and the Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 12. Warranty Accrual

The Company provides a warranty against all substantial defects in material and workmanship. In 2005 the Company extended its standard warranty from five years to 10 years. Effective February 1, 2014 the Company modified its warranty to a limited lifetime warranty. The new warranty effective February 1, 2014 is not anticipated to have a significant effect on warranty expense. The Company’s warranty is not a guarantee of service life, which depends upon events outside the Company’s control and may be different from the warranty period. The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both product sales data and an analysis of actual warranty claims incurred.

The following is a summary of the Company’s warranty-claim activity for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such events were evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, it was determined that, no subsequent events occurred that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

For the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $3,139,000 on net sales of $23,048,000 compared to a pre-tax loss of $3,874,000 on net sales of $23,383,000 in the same period last year.

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2015 decreased by $335,000, a 1.4% decrease, compared to the same period last year. This decrease was the result of an increase in selling prices of approximately $1.0 million offset by a reduction in unit volume. The Company began the quarter ended April 30, 2015 with a backlog that was approximately $1.6 million less than at the start of the first quarter last year. Unit volume for the quarter was adversely impacted by severe weather in parts of the country in February and by and reductions in bond funded new school construction completions. Backlog at April 30, 2015 increased by approximately 1.9% to $23,855,000 compared to $23,407,000 at April 30, 2014.

As discussed more fully in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 (“Form 10-K”), the Company implemented a variety of cost saving initiatives in prior years that have reduced the number of full time employees, among other cost savings. This reduced cost structure has helped the Company reduce operating losses during the seasonally slower first quarter. The reduction in headcount was concentrated in manufacturing, and included both direct labor and indirect positions. The Company has aggressively shifted to temporary workers to meet the seasonal demand for production and distribution.

Order rates for the first quarter of 2015 were 4.9% higher than the first quarter of last year. While this increase is welcome, the month by month trends continue to be volatile. Order rates for February 2015 were 38% lower than the prior year because severe weather conditions closed schools in many parts of the country. Order rates in March and April of 2015 were significantly higher than last year, resulting in an overall improvement for the quarter.

Gross margin in the first quarter increased on slightly lower revenues to $8,194,000 from $8,030,000 in the prior year. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 35.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to 34.3% in the same period last year. The improvement in gross margin was attributable to a slight increase in selling prices and a reduction in raw material costs during the same period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2015, decreased by approximately $532,000 compared to the same period last year, and decreased as a percentage of sales by 1.6%. The first quarter of 2014 included non-recurring legal expenses and the cost of a sales program that terminated in 2014.

In the first quarter of 2015 the Company did not record a significant income tax expense. During the fourth quarter of 2011 the Company established a valuation allowance on the majority of deferred tax assets. Because of this valuation allowance, the effective income tax expense / (benefit) is expected to be relatively low, with income tax expense / (benefit) being primarily attributable to alternative minimum taxes combined with income and franchise taxes required by various states. Interest expense was slightly less for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year as a result of lower borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Accounts receivable were higher at April 30, 2015 than at April 30, 2014 due to the timing of sales during the quarter. Sales were lower in February but higher during March and April. The Company traditionally builds large quantities of inventory during the first quarter of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. The Company started the current fiscal year with nearly $1,100,000 less inventory than in the prior year. During the quarter, the Company increased inventory by approximately $15,572,000 compared to January 31, 2015. This increase was approximately $1,760,000 greater than the increase in 2014, in anticipation of a compressed peak season delivery cycle. The increase in inventory during the first quarter of 2015 was financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC").

Borrowing under the Company's revolving line of credit with PNC at April 30, 2015 was comparable to last year. The Company established a goal of limiting capital spending to less than the Company's anticipated depreciation expense. Capital spending for the three months ended April 30, 2015 was $1,200,000 compared to $667,000 for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to timing of expenditures. The increases in capital expenditures were for enhancements to the Company’s ERP system and for the purchase of equipment at the expiration of their operating leases during the quarter. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC and operating cash flow.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2015, was $10,023,000 compared to $11,251,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in cash used was primarily attributable to an improvement in operating results, collection of receivables, and an increase in the growth of accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to the building of inventory.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit with PNC will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. Approximately $8,407,000 was available for borrowing as of April 30, 2015.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

PART II — Other Information

Virco Mfg. Corporation

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has various legal actions pending against it arising in the ordinary course of business, which in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these suits and claims, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
