VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION
Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2016
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 six months ended July 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2017. The balance sheet at January 31, 2016, 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, 2016 (“Form 10-K”). All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Note 2. 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 generally 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 3. New Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the FASB amended its existing accounting standards for the presentation of debt issuance costs in the statement of financial position. The amendments generally require that the issuance costs related to a recognized debt obligation be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the debt obligation, with the associated amortization recognized as a component of interest expense. The amendments were effective for beginning February 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis; the Company adopted the standard for issuance costs incurred related to its revolving line of credit. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of $84,000 from prepaid expenses and other current assets to current portion of long-term debt, $125,000 from other accrued liabilities to current portion of long-term debt and $69,000 from other assets to long-term debt to as of January 31, 2016. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of $84,000 from prepaid expenses and other current assets to current portion of long-term debt, $125,000 from other accrued liabilities to current portion of long-term debt and $110,000 from other assets to long-term debt as of July 31, 2015.

Note 4. Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or Net Realizable Value and includes material, labor, and factory overhead. The Company maintains allowances for estimated slow moving and obsolete inventory to reflect the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value. Allowances for slow moving and obsolete inventory are determined through a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving product, and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional allowances may be required. Due to reductions in sales

10



volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

The following table presents an updated breakdown of the Company’s net inventory (in thousands) as of July 31, 2016, January 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015:

 Inventories, net

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that its reserve for excess and obsolete inventory had previously been applied exclusively to the Finished goods portion of inventory, when it should have been applied against Finished goods, Work in process, and Raw materials and supplies, based on the identification of the specific parts determined to be held in excess or obsolete. The Company evaluated the impact of this error on prior year financial statements and concluded that it was immaterial for the quarter ended July 31, 2015, and for all interim periods within the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016. While the amounts included in the prior year disclosure were considered to be immaterial, the Company elected to revise the disclosure of previously reported amounts to be consistent with the presentation as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016. The changes resulted in no change to Inventories, net. The changes resulted in an increase to Finished goods of $2,229,000, a decrease to Work in process of $1,309,000, and a decrease to Raw materials and supplies of $920,000 as of July 31, 2015.
Management continually monitors production costs, material costs and inventory levels to determine that interim inventories are fairly stated.

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, 2019 and has a maximum availability of $49,750,000, 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 0.50% to 1.50% or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50% to 2.50%. The interest rate at July 31, 2016 was 4.5%. Approximately $25,252,000 was available for borrowing as of July 31, 2016.
The Credit Agreement restricts the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company's capital stock to an annual limit of $1.3 million, 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 second quarter of fiscal 2017. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Company. On April 4, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased the borrowing availability for the period from June 1, 2016 through August 15, 2016 and modified the clean down provision to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 from a period of 60 consecutive days to 30 consecutive days.

11


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 July 31, 2016 and 2015, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.
Note 6. 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 July 31, 2016.
The years ended January 31, 2012, January 31, 2014 and subsequent years remain open for examination by the IRS. The fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and subsequent years remain open for examination by state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under IRS or state examination.
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. 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.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

In June 2015, the Board of Directors terminated the Company's common stock repurchase plan. Pursuant to the Company’s Credit Agreement with PNC, the Company is generally 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. On April 4, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement with PNC which, among other things, amended the restrictions on share repurchases to allow repurchases under certain circumstances and within certain dollar limitations.

Note 10. Retirement Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries cover certain 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

13


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 and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Warranty Accrual
The Company provides a warranty against all substantial defects in material and workmanship. In 2005 the Company extended its standard warranty from 5 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 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 and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015.

Note 12. 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 July 31, 2016, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $7,026,000 on sales of $61,354,000 compared to a pre-tax profit of $7,488,000 on sales of $61,072,000 in the prior year.
Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2016 increased by $282,000 or 0.5%. This increase was attributable to a slight increase in volume and relatively flat selling prices. The Company began the quarter with a backlog of orders that was approximately $8 million greater than the prior year. Order rates for the quarter were volatile, with total orders for May and June approximating the prior year and a decline in July. Orders for the quarter decreased by approximately 6% compared to the prior year. Ending backlog at July 31, 2016 was $39.5 million compared to $39.1 million at the same date last year.
The second quarter results reflected continued increase in seasonality of the Company’s business. School districts in many parts of the Country have accelerated the beginning of back to school to mid-August, impacting the summer delivery window. Although this would suggest that shipments would be pushed forward into July, the Company experienced a sharp increase in orders that specified delivery in August, effectively moving revenue from the second quarter to the third. A comparable trend occurred in order rates. July orders were noticeably lower than the prior year, but August orders reflected an increase.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 38.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2016 compared to 39.3% in the same period last year. Selling prices and raw material costs were relatively stable in 2016 compared to 2015, but margins were impacted by the timing of production. In order to support an enhanced quick ship program and to reduce reliance on summer temporary labor, the Company increased production levels by just over 9% in the first quarter. With significantly less temporary labor in the second quarter production rates declined by nearly 10%. Reduced overhead absorption in the second quarter resulted in decreased gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2016.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2016 increased by $171,000 compared to the same period last year, and increased as a percentage of sales by 0.2%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to increased depreciation expense for investments in technology and selling initiatives. Interest expense increased due to increased levels of borrowing.
For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $3,917,000 on net sales of $82,181,000 compared to a pre-tax profit of $4,351,000 on net sales of $84,120,000 in the same period last year. Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2016 decreased by $1,939,000 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in unit volume. The Company began the year with a backlog of orders that was approximately $1.4 million greater than the prior year. Order rates for the first six months increased by approximately 0.4% compared to the prior year.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales improved to 38.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2016 compared to 38.3% in the same period last year. Gross margin was favorably affected by a very slight increase in first quarter selling prices and production efficiencies due to reduced reliance on temporary labor, offset by a 1% decrease in production rates.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2016 increased by approximately $38,000 compared to the same period last year and increased as a percentage of sales by 0.8%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to increased depreciation expense for investments in technology and selling initiatives. Interest expense was comparable to the prior year.

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company did not record a significant income tax expense / (benefit). During the fourth quarter of 2012, 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 relatively low, with income tax expense / (benefit) being primarily attributable to alternative minimum taxes combined with income and franchise taxes required by various states.
It is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, a review of the objective evidence may indicate that a portion or all of our valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets will no longer be appropriate. If such a determination is made, release of the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets would be recognized as an income tax benefit to continuing operations in the period in which such assessment is made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As discussed in the Company's Form 10-K, approximately 50% of the Company's annual sales volume is shipped in June through August. The Company traditionally builds large quantities of inventory during the first quarter of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. In addition, the Company finances a large balance of accounts receivable

16


during the peak season. Accounts receivable increased by $23,906,000 from January 31, 2016 to July 31, 2016. This compares to prior year when accounts receivable grew by $23,269,000 during the same period. The accounts receivable balance was $48,000 lower at July 31, 2016 than at July 31, 2015 due to timing of shipments.

For the first six months, the Company increased inventory by approximately $17,268,000 at July 31, 2016 compared to January 31, 2016. This compares to an increase of $15,108,000 during the same period last year. Inventory at July 31, 2016 was $10,085,000 more than the prior year. The increase in the amount of inventory for the current year is intended to support an enhanced quick ship program, reduce reliance on temporary workers during the peak season, and to improve delivery performance during an increasingly tight summer delivery window. The increase in accounts receivable and inventory at July 31, 2016 compared to the January 31, 2016, was financed in part by vendor credit, which naturally increases with increased second quarter business activity, and through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank.

Interest expense for the six months ended July 31, 2016 is comparable to the same period last year. Borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit with PNC Bank at July 31, 2016 increased by approximately $6,322,000 compared to the borrowings at July 31, 2015. The Company established a goal of limiting capital spending to less than $4,000,000 for fiscal year ending January 31, 2017, which is less than the Company's anticipated depreciation expense. Capital spending for the six months ended July 31, 2016 was $1,935,000 compared to $2,375,000 for the same period last year. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank and operating cash flow.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2016, was $26,586,000 compared to $17,749,000 for the same period last year. The increase in cash used was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory and a decrease in the growth in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

17



The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer along with its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of July 31, 2016. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer along with the Company's Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of such date were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Company management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — Other Information

Virco Mfg. Corporation

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal actions 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 actions, 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider and evaluate the information in this Quarterly Report and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on April 26, 2016.
