“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Some of the disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” or words with similar meanings. Any statements that refer to projections of our future performance, anticipated trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are based upon our current plans and strategies and reflect our current assessment of the risks and uncertainties related to our business. These risks include, but are not limited to: our continuing ability to source products from third parties located within and outside North America; competitive cost pressures; the loss of retailer customers to competitors, consolidations, bankruptcies or liquidations; shifts in consumer preferences; the impact of the global financial crisis and general economic conditions on consumer spending; the impact of the highly seasonal nature of our footwear business upon our operations; inaccurate forecasting of consumer demand; difficulties liquidating excess inventory; disruption of our supply chain or distribution networks; our ability to secure and protect trademarks and other intellectual property; our ability to implement new enterprise resource information systems; a failure in or a breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party suppliers and other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks; the unexpected loss of any of the skills and experience provided by our senior officers; our ability to successfully integrate any new business acquisitions; and our investment of excess cash in certificates of deposit and other variable rate demand note securities. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q carefully because the forward-looking statements contained in it (1) discuss our future expectations; (2) contain projections of our future results of operations or of our future financial condition; or (3) state other “forward-looking” information. The risk factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in particular “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), give examples of the types of uncertainties that may cause actual performance to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. If the events described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of our 2012 Form 10-K occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. You should also know that it is impossible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties related to our business. Consequently, no one should consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the statement is made to reflect unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law. Any further disclosures in our filings with the SEC should also be considered.

R.G. BARRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the Third Quarter and Nine-month period of Fiscal 2013 and the Third Quarter and Nine-month period of Fiscal 2012

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

R.G. Barry Corporation, an Ohio corporation, is engaged, with its subsidiaries, including Foot Petals, Inc. and Baggallini, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), in designing, sourcing, marketing and distributing footwear, foot and shoe care products and hand bags, tote bags and other travel accessories. The Company operates in two reportable segments: (1) Footwear that encompasses primarily slippers, sandals, hybrid and active fashion footwear; and (2) Accessories products including foot and shoe care products, handbags, tote bags and other travel accessories. The Company’s products are sold predominantly in North America in the accessory sections of department stores, chain stores, warehouse clubs, specialty stores, television shopping networks, e-tailing/internet based retailers, discount stores and mass merchandising channels of distribution.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with the United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations at the dates and for the interim periods presented, have been included. The financial information shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the end of fiscal 2012 is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative 2012 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in order to conform to the 2013 presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s reporting period is a fifty-two-week or fifty-three-week period (“fiscal year”), ending annually on the Saturday nearest June 30. Operating results for the third quarter and the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the annual results that may be expected for fiscal 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in “ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. ” of Part II of the 2012 Form 10-K.

 

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 30, 2013, as part of its cash management and investment program, the Company maintained a portfolio of $13,307 in short-term investments, comprised of $10,310 of marketable investment securities in the form of variable rate demand notes and $2,997 in other short-term investments. The marketable investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. These marketable investment securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The other short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and consisted of a single commercial paper investment with a maturity date of June 2013. Held-to-maturity debt securities are debt securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

In addition, at March 30, 2013, the Company held a derivative instrument in the form of an interest rate contract that served as a cash flow hedge on interest rate change exposure on a portion of its borrowings under a floating-rate term-loan facility entered into by the Company in March 2011. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” below.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (“FASB ASC”) 820-10 (the overall Subtopic of topic 820 on fair value measurements and disclosures) provides guidance on fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. This accounting standard provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the Third Quarter and Nine-month period of Fiscal 2013 and the Third Quarter and Nine-month period of Fiscal 2012

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

   

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on the present value of expected cash flows, considering expected maturity and using current interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis (including items that were required to be measured at fair value) at March 30, 2013:

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) is the only equity-based compensation plan under which future awards may be made to employees of the Company and non-employee directors of R.G. Barry Corporation other than the employee stock purchase plan, currently inactive, in which only employees of the Company are eligible to participate. The Company’s previous equity-based compensation plans remained in effect with respect to the then outstanding awards following the original approval of the 2005 Plan. By shareholder action at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the 2005 Plan was amended to provide for an additional 500,000 common shares to be made available for future awards under the 2005 Plan (the “Amended 2005 Plan”).

The Amended 2005 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options (“NQs”), incentive stock options (“ISOs”) that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock grants, stock units and cash awards, each as defined in the Amended 2005 Plan. Grants of restricted or unrestricted stock, RSUs and cash awards may also be performance-based awards, as defined in the Amended 2005 Plan.

During the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, the Company granted performance-based RSUs to certain members of management. Each performance-based RSU is equivalent to one common share. The number of RSUs eligible for settlement to participants is ultimately based on the level of diluted earnings per share achieved by the Company relative to certain established minimum, target and maximum levels, for the fiscal year in which such performance-based RSUs are granted. If the minimum level of diluted earnings per share is not achieved for the fiscal year of grant, all of the performance-based RSUs underlying the award will be forfeited. If diluted earnings per share exceed the minimum level, the number of units eligible for settlement will be determined when the annual financial results are finalized by the Company and one-third of those units will be settled. The remaining performance-based RSUs eligible for settlement will vest to the participants based on continued service rendered to the Company over the following two fiscal-year periods, with annual pro rata vesting and settlement occurring at the end of each fiscal year. Except in instances of death or retirement where pro rata vesting would be applied, participants must be employed by the Company at the time of settlement in order to be vested in any portion of the award otherwise to be settled.

Performance-based RSUs will be settled through an issuance of common shares for 50% of the performance-based RSUs and through cash payment for the other 50% of the performance-based RSUs valued at the fair value of a common share at the time of settlement. Based on expected annual diluted earnings per share by the Company as projected at third quarter-end for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the number of total eligible performance-based RSUs was computed at 57,800 for fiscal 2013 and 81,400 for fiscal 2012, of which 50% was accounted for as an equity award and 50% was accounted for as a cash settlement award. The fair value of the equity award was determined based on the closing market price of a common share at the date of grant of $14.48 and $10.51 for the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 awards, respectively. Similarly, the fair value of the cash settlement award was initially based on the market price of a common share at the date of grant but is subject to periodic revaluation as changes occur in the market price of a common share over the time period of the award.

In addition, consistent with its employee compensation policy, the Company granted an aggregate of 19,100 and 23,550 time-based RSUs, to certain members of management during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, respectively, which vest in equal annual installments over three years.

Consistent with its non-employee directors compensation policy, the Company also awarded an aggregate of 18,700 and 20,370 unrestricted common shares with immediate vesting to the non-employee directors of R.G. Barry Corporation during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the second quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively. The fair value of these awards of common shares was $257 for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the second quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively. The fair value was based on the market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant of each award, and was included as part of the total stock-based compensation expense discussed in the following paragraph.

Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, the Company recognized, as part of selling, general and administrative expenses, $310 and $1,297 of stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter and the nine-month period of 2013, respectively. The Company recognized $318 and $1,191 of stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, respectively.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 or the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, but has historically granted stock options at times to certain members of management and non-employee directors. Total compensation cost of stock options granted, but not yet vested as of March 30, 2013, was approximately $10, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for any business acquisitions and recognizes intangible assets separately from goodwill. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities in an acquisition are measured and recognized based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, with goodwill representing the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, under the provisions FASB ASC 350 (as permitted by ASU 2011-8 and with early adoption of ASU 2012-2) under a one-step qualitative assessment for its annual impairment test evaluation during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit was deemed to exceed the reporting unit’s respective carrying value and there were no goodwill or intangible assets impairment indicators identified during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013.

Goodwill included the following:

 

     Goodwill  

Balance as of June 30, 2012

   $ 15,510   

Acquired during third quarter, fiscal 2013

     112

8. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2012 differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 35% in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively, to earnings before income taxes as a result of the following:

 

     Third Quarter     Nine-month period  
     Fiscal 2013     Fiscal 2012     Fiscal 2013     Fiscal 2012  

Computed “expected” tax expense

   $ 877      $ 489      $ 7,409      $ 8,080   

State income tax expense, net of federal income tax benefit

     95        109        839        922   

Other, net

     (8     (34     (55     7   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Total expense

   $ 964      $ 564      $ 8,193      $ 9,009   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Management is required to estimate the annual effective tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax earnings. To the extent the actual pre-tax results or anticipated permanent tax differences for the year differ from forecasted estimates applied at the end of the most recent interim period, the actual tax rate recognized in fiscal 2013 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2012 was estimated based on projected annual pre-tax income, discrete tax adjustments and annual tax rates for the respective tax jurisdictions applicable to the Company. Income tax expense as reported was computed using an income tax rate of 38.7% for fiscal 2013 and of 39.0% for fiscal 2012.

FASB ASC 740-10 (the overall Subtopic of topic 740 on income taxes) 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 and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. During the nine-month period of fiscal 2013, there were no changes in evaluations made under FASB ASC 740-10. There were no reserves for uncertain tax positions existing at the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 or at the end of fiscal 2012.

 

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may utilize from time to time derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to its ongoing operations. The primary risk managed through the use of derivative instruments is interest rate risk. In January 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with an initial notional amount of $15,000 to hedge the changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the LIBOR rate associated with the five-year term loan entered into by the Company in March 2011. Under this interest rate contract, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 3.94% and receives a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.85%. The notional amount of this interest rate contract is required to be 50% of the amount of the term loan through the expiration of its five-year term.

The Company is exposed to counter-party credit risk on any derivative instrument. Accordingly, as part of its risk management policy, the Company maintains strict counter-party credit guidelines and enters into any derivative instrument only with a major financial institution. The Company does not have significant exposure to any counterparty, and management believes the risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.

Refer to “Note 2—Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the fair value of the derivative instrument.

11. Net Earnings per Common Share

Basic net earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted net earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period, plus, when their effect is dilutive, potential common shares consisting of common shares underlying certain unexercised stock options and unvested time-based and performance-based RSUs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominator used for each period in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share, with common shares in the table represented in thousands:

The Company did not exclude any stock options from the calculation of diluted net earnings per common share for the third quarter or for the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 or for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company excluded stock options to purchase three thousand common shares from the calculation of diluted net earnings per common share for the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 due to the anti-dilutive nature of these stock options measured using the average market price of the underlying common shares.

13. Acquisitions

Acquisition of assets of Moseylife Company Limited

On March 29, 2013, the Company purchased selected assets including accounts receivable, finished goods inventory, trade names and various other assets and incurred an obligation to pay $1,236 in cash in its acquisition of the business assets of Mosey. This obligation was subsequently paid in April 2013. These business assets are managed and reported within the Company’s Baggallini reporting unit as part of the Accessories segment. The product lines, customer bases and core values of the Company and this acquired business have numerous synergies. As a result, this acquisition is expected to be an integral part of the Company’s long-range vision and strategic growth plans for its Accessories segment.

The goodwill of $112 arising from this acquisition consists of the value of synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Mosey. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Accessories segment and will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for certain assets of Mosey and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities recognized at the acquisition date.

Mosey’s net sales and net earnings were not significant in respect of the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the third quarter and the nine-month reporting period ended March 30, 2013. Any pro forma net sales and net earnings of the combined entity, had the acquisition date been July 1, 2012, or July 3, 2011, were likewise not significant to any combined view of pro forma Company condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine-month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

 

14. Segment Reporting

The Company primarily markets footwear and accessories products sold predominantly in North America and operates with two reportable segments, which include: (1) Footwear that encompasses primarily slippers, sandals, hybrid and active fashion footwear; and (2) Accessories products including shoe and foot care products, handbags, tote bags and other travel accessories. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same, except that the disaggregated information has been prepared using certain management reports, which by their very nature require estimates.

The Company operates with a reporting structure that included a separate Business Unit President for each operating unit, with each Business Unit President reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of R.G. Barry Corporation. Each Business Unit President has financial performance responsibility for the operating unit.

While many selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses are directly attributable to each operating unit, certain corporate support expenses are incurred and assigned to the respective operating units based on estimated usage of Company services. Operating profit as measured for each segment includes sales, cost of sales, and direct and allocated SGA expenses. This segment measure of operating profit or loss, as defined, is the primary indicator of financial performance used by management.

Other corporate expenses incurred are deemed to be applicable to the Company as a whole and are not allocated to any specific business segment. These unallocated expenses primarily include areas such as the Company’s corporate and governance functions, including the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Board of Directors, as well as expense areas including annual accrued incentive, stock compensation, pension, professional fees and similar corporate expenses. Segment operating profit, as reported below, is based on the same definition of operating profit as described in the paragraph immediately above.

Unallocated corporate assets were comprised of corporate assets including building, software, furniture and equipment, investments, deferred tax assets, cash surrender assets associated with insurance policies and other nominal intangible or deposit type assets held by the Company. Changes between Footwear segment and unallocated corporate assets from the end of fiscal 2012 to the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 reflected the seasonal nature of the business and related working capital requirements in that period.

15.    Related Party Transactions

Under an existing agreement, the Company is obligated for up to two years after the death of the Company’s non-executive chairman (the “chairman”) to purchase, if the estate elects to sell, up to $4,000 of the Company’s common shares, at their then fair market value. For a period of two years following the chairman’s death, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase any common shares owned by the chairman at the time of his death if his estate elects to sell such common shares and has the right to purchase such common shares on the same terms and conditions as the estate proposes to sell such common shares to a third party. To fund its potential obligation to purchase such common shares, the Company maintains two insurance policies on the life of the chairman. The cumulative cash surrender value of the policies at the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 was $2,956, which is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Effective in March 2004 and continuing through a portion of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company had borrowed $1,750 against the cash surrender value of one of these policies, which was included in short-term notes payable at June 30, 2012 on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The short-term note payable was repaid in full during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

16.    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is from time to time involved in claims and litigation considered normal in the ordinary course of its business. While it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome, in the opinion of management, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual financial position, income and cash flows.

17.    Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This amended accounting guidance as issued is intended to simplify how an entity is to test goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test is required if, based on its qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company adopted the updated accounting guidance for the annual impairment test performed during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, which did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which deferred the effective date for applying ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, in respect of certain provisions relating to the presentation of separate line items on the income statement for reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into income, in order for the FASB to further evaluate this change in standard before implementation. The deferral is temporary and other provisions of ASU 2011-05 were effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Subsequently in January 2013, the FASB issued 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The initial update requires additional disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements on assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of such arrangements on an entity’s financial position as reported. The subsequent update provides additional implementation issue guidance on the scope of ASU 2011-11. Both amendments are effective for fiscal 2014, and adoption of this standard change will only affect the footnote disclosures within consolidated financial statements. Once adopted, these disclosure provisions will apply retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-2, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and then determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this change for the annual impairment test during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, which did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires that the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income be reported on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted principles to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period to net income. For reclassifications involving other amounts, cross references would be required to other disclosures provided under generally accepted accounting principles on such items. This update is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. Since this update addresses only financial reporting disclosures, the Company does not expect it to have a direct impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide investors and others with information we believe is necessary to understand the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should also be read in conjunction with our 2012 Form 10-K.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this MD&A to “our”, “us”, “we” or the “Company” refer to R.G. Barry Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Company and principal subsidiaries, Foot Petals, Inc. and Baggallini, Inc., are engaged in designing, sourcing, marketing and distributing footwear; foot and shoe care products; and hand bags, tote bags and other travel accessories. We operate with three operating segments, two of which are aggregated into a single reportable segment. The two reportable segments include: (1) Footwear that encompasses primarily slippers, sandals, hybrid and active fashion footwear; and (2) Accessories products including foot and shoe care products, handbags, tote bags and other travel accessories. Our products are sold predominantly in North America in accessory sections of department stores, chain stores, warehouse clubs, specialty stores, television shopping networks, e-tailing/internet based retailers, discount stores and mass merchandising channels of distribution. On March 29, 2013, the Company acquired the business assets of Moseylife Company Limited, a privately-owned Hong Kong-based developer and marketer of handbags; the operations of this business and related assets will be managed and included within our Baggallini reporting unit within the Accessories products segment.

The Company operates with a reporting structure including a separate Business Unit President for each operating unit, with each Business Unit President reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of R.G. Barry Corporation. Each Business Unit President has financial performance responsibility for the operating unit.

Under this reporting structure, the operating profit or loss measure for an operating unit includes sales, cost of sales, and direct and allocated SGA expenses from certain corporate support areas for which expenses incurred are allocated to each operating unit based on estimated usage of Company services. Other corporate expenses are deemed applicable to the Company as a whole and are not allocated to any specific business segment. Such expenses include costs associated with the Company’s corporate and governance functions, including the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Board of Directors, as well as such expense areas as annual accrued incentive, stock compensation, pension, professional fees and similar corporate expenses.

Our Footwear and Accessories segment results reported below for the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2012 have been presented based on this reporting approach.

All comments made herein relative to period over period comparisons refer to results reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, or the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 as compared to the nine-month period of fiscal 2012.

Consolidated net sales increased by 2.7%, reflecting a decrease in net sales in the Footwear segment which were more than offset by an increase in net sales in the Accessories segment. The decrease in shipments in the Footwear segment of $698 thousand or 4.1% was primarily associated with customers in the off-price customer and mass merchandising channels. Quarter-over-quarter shipments in the Accessories segment increased by $1.4 million, or 17.3%, primarily reflecting increased shipments to mass merchandising, department store and international customer channels, offset by decreased shipments in the off-price and other customer channels.

Consolidated gross profit dollars increased by 5.9% and gross profit as a percentage of net sales expanded by 130 basis points. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily the result of the higher sales volume noted above and higher gross profit as a percentage of sales, which reflected the impact of segment, customer and product mix in sales during the period, including the effect of discontinuation of lower-margin licensed footwear sales.

Consolidated SGA expense decreased by 2.9%, with the net decrease primarily stemming from lower bonus incentive expense accruals and other net lower expense reported from a broad range of Footwear segment and corporate areas, offset in part by higher expense associated with our Accessories segment businesses as discussed below.

Consolidated other income reflected higher levels of royalty income associated with our current licensing agreements; consolidated interest expense was nominally lower.

The effective tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were 38.5% and 40.3%, respectively.

Based on the results of operations noted above, we reported consolidated net earnings of $1.5 million or $0.13 per diluted common share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and consolidated net earnings of $834 thousand or $0.07 per diluted common share for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Consolidated net sales decreased by 7.2%, reflecting a decrease in net sales in the Footwear segment offset in part by an increase in net sales in the Accessories segment. The decrease in shipments in the Footwear segment of $13.0 million or 12.1% was primarily associated with customers in the department store, mass merchandising, warehouse club and off-price customer channels, offset in part by an increase in shipments with customers in the catalog/dot com and international channels. Shipments in the Accessories segment increased by $3.6 million, or 15.2%, reflecting increased net shipments to customers in off-price, international, mass merchandising and department store customer channels, offset by decreased shipments in the catalog/dot com, televised retailer and other customer channels.

Consolidated gross profit dollars decreased by 5.5% but gross profit as a percentage of net sales expanded by 80 basis points. The decrease in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the lower sales volume noted above; the expansion in gross profit as a percentage of sales primarily reflected the effect of segment, customer and product mix in sales during the period including discontinuation of lower margin licensed footwear sales.

Consolidated SGA expense decreased by 2.0%, with the net decrease primarily including lower bonus incentive expense accruals and other net lower expense reported from a broad range of Footwear segment and corporate areas, offset in part by higher expense associated with our Accessories segment businesses as discussed below.

Consolidated other income reflected higher levels of royalty income associated with our current licensing agreements; consolidated interest expense was nominally lower.

The tax rates for the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 were 38.7% and 39.0%, respectively.

Based on the results of operations noted above, we reported consolidated net earnings of $13.0 million or $1.13 per diluted common share for the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and consolidated net earnings of $14.1 million or $1.24 per diluted common share for the nine-month period of fiscal 2012.

Results of Operations - Footwear segment

Our Footwear segment encompasses designing, sourcing, marketing and distributing footwear products.

Gross profit dollars decreased by 2.6% but gross profit as a percentage of net sales expanded by 60 basis points. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in gross profit dollars reflected the impact of decreased shipment volumes; the increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to the relative mix of shipments and related margin to customers in various channels, including discontinuation of lower-margin licensed footwear sales.

Operating profit increased by 5.2%, reflecting the net impact of the decrease in SGA expenses reported in broad areas of this segment, which more than offset the decrease in gross profit noted above.

Gross profit dollars decreased by 11.1% but gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 40 basis points. The decrease in gross profit dollars reflected primarily the impact of decreased shipment volumes noted above; the expansion in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to the relative mix of shipments and related margin to customers in various channels.

Operating profit decreased by 14.2%, reflecting the net effect of the decrease in gross profit noted above partially offset by a decrease in SGA expenses in a broad range of areas.

Results of Operations - Accessories segment

The Accessories segment, comprised of Foot Petals and Baggallini, encompasses the designing, sourcing, marketing and distribution of a variety of accessory category products. These consumer product offerings range from shoe and foot care products to handbags, tote bags and other travel accessories. These products are sold predominately in North America through customers primarily in the specialty and independent store, televised retailer, e-tailing/internet based retail, upper tier department store, mass merchandising and discount store channels. Our business activity with these customers is primarily replenishment in nature, with most of our sales spread evenly throughout the year.

Net sales increased quarter over quarter by 17.3% with most of the net growth primarily reported in shipments to a variety of customer channels, including mass merchandising, department store and international, offset by decreased shipments in the off-price and other customer channels.

Gross profit dollars increased by 18.7% and gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 60 basis points. The increase in gross profit dollars primarily reflected the increased shipment volumes noted above; the expansion in gross profit as a percentage of sales reflected primarily the relative mix of shipments and related margins to customers in various channels.

Operating profit increased by 44.4%, reflecting the impact of higher gross profit as noted above offset in part by SGA expenses that did not increase proportionately with the increase in shipment volumes during the period.

Operating profit increased by 13.3%, reflecting the benefit of higher gross profit dollars offset in part by increased SGA spending driven by the increase in shipment volumes referenced above and increased marketing and selling expenses.

Results of Operations – Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Consistent with our internal reporting structure, certain corporate expenses deemed applicable to the Company as a whole were not allocated to any business segment. Such costs included those associated with the Company’s corporate and governance functions, including the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Board of Directors, as well as such expense areas as annual accrued bonus incentive, stock compensation, pension charges, professional fees and similar corporate expenses. These unallocated costs are shown below:

Nine-month period

The decrease in unallocated expense primarily reflected lower accrued incentive bonus expense applicable to individuals working in all areas of the Company, offset by increased expenses from a broad range of other areas.

Seasonality

Although our various product lines in our Footwear and Accessories segments are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles within our Footwear segment is highly seasonal. For example, the demand for gift-oriented slipper products is higher in the fall holiday season than it is in the spring and summer seasons. As the timing of product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year or for future comparable quarters. A majority of our annual shipments is expected to continue to be seasonal in nature for the foreseeable future.

Looking ahead to the remainder of Fiscal 2013 and beyond

Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2013 and beyond, our strategies are centered on growing market share in existing channels; pursuing new retail distribution opportunities; expanding our business internationally; and continuing our growth through appropriate acquisitions. We expect our business model over time to perform at or above levels consistent with top quartile performance among our industry peers. We expect to continue to deliver performance that drives revenue and profitability growth and long-term shareholder value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our only source of revenue and a primary source of cash flow comes from our operating activities, in addition to funds available through our Revolving Credit Facility, as described further below in the section captioned “Credit Agreement”, subject to its terms. When cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we have access to funds under our Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we can and have obtained bank borrowings specific to business acquisitions. We may seek to finance future capital investment programs through various methods, including, but not limited to, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities.

Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital needs, which include primarily inventory; operating expenses, accounts receivable, funding of capital expenditures, business acquisitions, payment of cash dividends and income tax and repayment of our indebtedness. Generally, most of our product purchases from third-party manufacturers are acquired on an open- account basis, and to a significantly lesser extent, through trade letters of credit. Such trade letters of credit are drawn against our Revolving Credit Facility at the time of shipment of the products and reduce the amount available under that facility when issued.

Cash and cash equivalents on hand were approximately $31.4 million at March 30, 2013, compared to $13.2 million at March 31, 2012 and $16.1 million at June 30, 2012. Short-term investments were approximately $13.3 million at March 30, 2013, $27.0 million at March 31, 2012 and $25.6 million at June 30, 2012.

At March 30, 2013, as part of its cash management and investment program, the Company maintained a portfolio of $13.3 million in short-term investments, comprised of $10.3 million of marketable investment securities in the form of variable rate demand notes and $3.0 million in other short-term investments. The marketable investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. These marketable investment securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The other short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and consisted of a single commercial paper investment, which had a maturity date of June 2013. Held-to-maturity debt securities are debt securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

Operating Activities

Our operations provided approximately $11.3 million and $21.7 million of cash during nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, respectively, based primarily on the seasonality of our Footwear segment business. The operating cash flows primarily resulted from the impact of timing in our Footwear and Accessories segment shipments and inventory purchased, as well as the timing of collections and customer deductions in accounts receivable, payments for inventory purchases and incentive bonus and income tax accruals and payments.

Our working capital ratio, which is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities, was 5.3:1 at March 30, 2013, 4.4:1 at March 31, 2012 and 3.5:1 at June 30, 2012. The difference in this ratio from March 30, 2013 to March 31, 2012 reflected primarily the effect of incremental earnings over the intervening twelve-month period.

We anticipate that we will continue to fund our operations and meet our debt obligations in the future primarily by using cash generated from operations.

Changes in the primary components of our working capital accounts for the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, respectively, were as follows:

 

   

The increases in accounts receivable of $6.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, reflected timing associated from both of our reporting segments shipments as well as relative timing of customer collections and deductions;

 

25


Table of Contents
   

Net inventories decreased by $4.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, in line with the seasonal nature of the Footwear segment business, and the timing of purchases in support of that segment’s fall season shipments related to each of the respective fiscal years;

 

   

Accounts payable decreased by $6.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively. These changes were due primarily to the timing of purchases and payment for and shipments of finished goods inventory in our Footwear and Accessories segments;

 

   

Accrued expenses decreased by $110 thousand and increased by $6.1 million, respectively. Changes in the nine-month period in fiscal 2013 reflect the impact of annual incentive expense and income tax expense accruals during the period, with normally an offsetting impact from the payment of annual incentive bonuses accrued at the end of the preceding fiscal year. The difference in relative change in fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 was due primarily to the absence of any incentive bonus payment during the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 and comparative income tax accruals made during the respective periods.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities provided $11.5 million in cash during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and used $13.1 million in cash during the nine-month period of fiscal 2012. These activities primarily reflected the net effect from the sale and purchase of investments during the respective periods. In addition, we reported capital expenditures of $828 thousand and $1.7 million during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, respectively.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 used $7.5 million and $4.5 million in cash, respectively, primarily reflecting the principal repayment of long-term debt and payment of dividends. In addition, during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013, we repaid the approximately $1.8 million outstanding balance on our short-term obligation. In the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, we also obtained and repaid $3.0 million in revolving credit to finance our then seasonal working capital requirements for the Footwear segment.

2013 Liquidity

We believe our sources of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash from operations and funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility, as described below, will be adequate to fund our operations, capital expenditures and payment of dividends through the remainder of fiscal 2013.

Credit Agreement

Under the terms of a bank facility (“Bank Facility”) entered into in March 2011, The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) is obligated to advance funds to us for a period of three years under a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). We may have outstanding indebtedness of up to $5 million under the Revolving Credit Facility from January through June of each calendar year and up to $10 million from July through December of each calendar year. The availability under the Revolving Credit Facility includes a $1.5 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Under the terms of the Bank Facility, we may request that Huntington increase the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount of up to $5 million. The termination and maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is March 1, 2014. The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. Additionally, the Company pays a quarterly fee equal to 0.25% of the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, and paid a one-time $25 thousand facility fee in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. This facility fee is being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. Further, the Revolving Credit Facility must not have any outstanding borrowings for at least 30 consecutive days commencing on July 1 and continuing through June 30 of the following year. There was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 30, 2013 and no borrowings under this Revolving Credit Facility occurred during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013.

Under the terms of the Bank Facility, Huntington also provided us $30 million under a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). Under the Term Loan Facility, Huntington disbursed $15 million on March 1, 2011 and the remaining $15 million on March 31, 2011. We began paying monthly principal payments in the amount of $357 thousand, together with accrued interest, on April 1, 2011, with the then remaining outstanding balance and accrued interest due and payable on March 1, 2016. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility is a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.85%. In conjunction with the Bank Facility, we entered into an interest rate contract that provides for a fixed interest rate of 3.94% on a notional amount of 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan.

 

26


Table of Contents

We paid Huntington a one-time facility commitment fee of $75 thousand in connection with the Term Loan Facility; this fee is being amortized over the term of the loan. The applicable interest rate on the Term Loan Facility at March 30, 2013 was 2.05%, assuming a 30-day LIBOR rate of 0.20% on that date.

Under the terms of the Bank Facility, we are required to satisfy certain financial covenants, including (a) satisfying a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test of not less than 1.1 to 1.0, which is calculated quarterly on a trailing 12-month basis beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on or nearest to March 31, 2012, (b) satisfying a funded debt leverage ratio test of not greater than 2.25 to 1.00, which is calculated quarterly beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on or nearest to March 31, 2012 and (c) maintaining a consolidated net worth of at least $52 million, increased annually by an amount equal to 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income subsequent to July 2, 2011. At March 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all these financial covenants.

Other Long-Term Indebtedness and Current Installments of Long-Term Debt

At March 30, 2013, we reported $4.3 million as the current portion of long-term debt. The term loan under the Term Loan Facility has a seven-year amortization schedule, and we are obligated to make interest and principal payments over the five-year term of the loan, with a final payment for the balance remaining due at the end of the five-year term.

During fiscal 2011 as noted above, we entered into an interest rate contract, with an initial notional amount of $15 million, which extends through the five-year period of the term loan obtained in fiscal 2011 and used to fund our business acquisitions. This interest rate contract has a fixed interest rate of 3.94% and extends over the period of the term loan with a notional amount that will adjust over time to an amount approximating fifty percent of the outstanding term loan balance. This interest rate contract has been accounted for as an effective cash flow hedge for a portion of the term loan.

Contractual Obligations

The Company incurred a $1.2 million contractual obligation related to its purchase of the business assets of Moseylife Company Limited on March 29, 2013 and the related cash payments on this obligation were made subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

There have been no other material changes to “Contractual Obligations” since the end of fiscal 2012, other than routine payments and obligations under the Bank Facility. For more detail on our contractual obligations, please refer to the discussion under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations” in “ Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” of Part II of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that we make certain estimates. These estimates can affect reported revenues, expenses and results of operations, as well as the reported values of certain assets and liabilities. We make these estimates after gathering as much information from as many resources, both internal and external, as are available at the time. After reasonably assessing the conditions that exist at the time, we make these estimates and prepare consolidated financial statements accordingly. These estimates are made in a consistent manner from period to period, based upon historical trends and conditions and after review and analysis of current events and circumstances. We believe these estimates reasonably reflect the current assessment of the financial impact of events whose actual outcomes will not become known to us with certainty until sometime in the future.

The following discussion of critical accounting policies is intended to bring to the attention of readers those accounting policies that management believes are critical to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial disclosures. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our significant accounting policies that are more fully described in Note (1) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “ Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. ” of Part II of our 2012 Form 10-K.

 

27


Table of Contents

A summary of the critical accounting policies requiring management estimates follows:

a) We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:

 

   

goods are shipped from our warehouses and other third-party distribution locations, at which point our customers take ownership and assume risk of loss;

 

   

collection of the relevant receivable is probable;

 

   

persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; and

 

   

the sales price is fixed or determinable.

In certain circumstances, we sell products to customers under arrangements which provide for return privileges, discounts, promotions and other sales incentives. At the time we recognize revenue, we reduce our measurement of revenue by an estimate of the potential future returns and allowable retailer promotions and incentives, and recognize a corresponding reduction in reported trade accounts receivable. These estimates have traditionally been, and continue to be, sensitive to and dependent on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, quantities sold to our customers and the related selling and marketing support programs; channels of distribution; sell-through rates at retail; the acceptance of the styling of our products by consumers; the overall economic environment; consumer confidence leading towards and through the holiday selling season; and other related factors. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized reserve adjustments that decreased our earnings before income tax by $39 thousand and during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013, we recognized reserve adjustments that increased our earnings before income tax by $185 thousand, respectively, primarily related to our Footwear segment customer incentive reserves of $1.1 million established at June 30, 2012. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we recognized reserve adjustments that decreased our earnings before income tax by $16 thousand and during the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, we recognized reserve adjustments that increased our earnings before income tax by $673 thousand, respectively, related to our Footwear segment customer incentive reserves of $2.2 million established at July 2, 2011.

We monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and the related collection of monies owed to us. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve for bad debts is taken as a reduction to accounts receivable to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, we recognize estimated reserves for bad debts based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions and anticipated trends, each of which is subjective and requires certain assumptions. Actual charges for uncollectible amounts were not materially different from our estimates during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 or during the nine-month period of fiscal 2012.

 

b) We value inventories using the lower of cost or market, based upon the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) costing method. We evaluate our inventories for any reduction in realizable value in light of the prior selling season, the overall economic environment and our expectations for the upcoming selling seasons, and we record the appropriate write-downs based on this evaluation. During the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 and the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, there were no significant write-downs to inventory recorded.

 

c) We make an assessment of the amount of income taxes that will become currently payable or recoverable for the just concluded period, and the deferred tax costs or benefits that will become realizable for income tax purposes in the future, as a consequence of differences between results of operations as reported in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and the requirements of the income tax codes existing in the various jurisdictions where we operate. In evaluating the future benefits of deferred tax assets, we examine our capacity for generating future taxable profit. In addition, we make ongoing assessments of income tax exposures that may arise at the Federal, state or local tax levels. U.S. GAAP principles require that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Any identified exposures will be subjected to continuing assessment and estimates will be revised accordingly as information becomes available to us. We had no tax reserve for uncertain tax positions at the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2013 or at the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 at the federal, state or local tax levels.

 

d) We make assumptions to measure our pension liabilities and project the long-term rate of return expected on the invested pension assets in our qualified associates’ retirement plan. Changes in assumptions, which may be caused by conditions in the debt and equity markets, changes in asset mix, and plan experience, could have a material effect on our pension obligations and expenses, and can affect our net income, assets, and shareholders’ equity. Changes in assumptions may also result in voluntary or mandatory requirements to make additional contributions to our qualified associates’ retirement plan. These assumptions are reviewed and reset as appropriate at the pension measurement date commensurate with the end of our fiscal year, and we monitor these assumptions over the course of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents
e) We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances warrant such review. Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its respective carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. There were no impairment indicators present during the nine-month period of fiscal 2013.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, such as trade names, are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, during the Company’s second fiscal quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. Application of goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including but not limited to, the identification of reporting units and estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. We test goodwill at the reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit, determined using discounted cash flows, to each reporting unit’s respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill impairment is indicated. The amount of the impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the net assets of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill, to its estimated fair value, with the difference representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is lower than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations. This impairment testing can consist of either a qualitative approach to evaluate impairment where no significant changes in key assumptions are deemed to have occurred since the performance of the last quantitative analysis or through performance of a full quantitative analysis.

The Company adopted ASU 2011-8 and early adopted ASU 2012-2, and performed a one-step qualitative assessment for its annual impairment test evaluation during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 on goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. In conducting the qualitative assessment, the Company considered relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit and indefinite life intangible assets. Such events and circumstances could include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, entity and reporting unit specific events, and capital markets pricing. The Company considered the extent to which each of the adverse events and circumstances identified affect the comparison of a reporting unit and indefinite life intangible assets’ respective fair value with its carrying amount. The Company placed more weight on the events and circumstances that most affect a reporting unit and indefinite life intangible assets’ respective fair value or the carrying amount of its net assets. The Company considered positive and mitigating events and circumstances that may affect its determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit and indefinite life intangible assets are less than their respective carrying amounts. The Company also considered recent valuations of its reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets, including the difference between the most recent fair value estimate and the carrying amount. These factors were all considered by management in reaching its conclusion about whether to perform the first step of the impairment test. If management had concluded that further testing was required, the Company would have performed a quantitative valuation to estimate the fair value of its reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets.

 

f) There are various other accounting policies that also require management’s judgment. For an additional discussion of all of our significant accounting policies, please see Note (1) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. ” of Part II of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Actual results may vary from these estimates as a consequence of activities after the period-end estimates have been made. These subsequent activities will have either a positive or negative impact upon the results of operations in a period subsequent to the period when we originally made the estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See “Note 17 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting standards that could have a significant effect on the Company when they are implemented.

ITEM 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments — Foreign Currency

During fiscal 2012 and through the nine-month period of fiscal 2013, substantially all of our sales and all of our purchases were denominated in U.S. dollars, and accordingly, we did not have any foreign currency risk.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments — Interest Rates

Our principal market risk exposure relates to the impact of changes in short-term interest rates that may result from the floating rate nature of our Bank Facility. At March 30, 2013, we had $21.4 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. We have an interest rate contract with Huntington that effectively fixes the interest rate at 3.94% for fifty percent of the loan balance and an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.85% applies to the remainder of the loan balance under the Term Loan Facility.

Interest rate changes can impact interest expense on the unhedged portion of the term loan, the level of earnings from short-term investments and the measurement of pension liabilities, which measurement is performed on an annual basis.
