1. | Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Crown Crafts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of December 28, 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments include normal, recurring accruals. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended December 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 29, 2009. For further information, refer to the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2008. | |
Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for estimated returns and allowances in the consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances are netted against sales in reporting the results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are included in net sales. | ||
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented on the consolidated statements of income and cash flows. Significant estimates are made
with respect to the allowances related to accounts receivable for customer deductions for returns,
allowances and disputes. The Company has a certain amount of discontinued finished goods which
necessitate the establishment of inventory reserves which are highly subjective. Our impairment
test of goodwill is based on comparing the fair value of each of the reporting units of the Company
to such reporting units carrying value. Fair value is measured using a combination of the income
approach, utilizing the discounted cash flow method that incorporates our estimates of future
revenues and costs for our business, and the public company comparables approach, utilizing
multiples of profit measures. The estimates that we use to measure goodwill are consistent with
the plans and estimates that we use to manage our operations, and are based on the best information
available as of the date of the measurement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment and Related Information: The Company operates primarily in one principal segment, infant and toddler products. These products consist of infant and toddler bedding, infant bibs and related soft goods. |
||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Identifiable Intangibles and Goodwill: The Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value, less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal, and are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. | ||
The Company reported goodwill of $13.9 million and $22.9 million at December 28, 2008 and March 30, 2008, respectively. The Company tests the fair value of the goodwill of its reporting units annually in a two-step approach (Impairment Test). The first step is the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit to ensure that its fair value exceeds its carrying value. If step one indicates that a potential impairment exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of an impairment charge, if any. In the second step, these estimated fair values are used as the hypothetical purchase price for the reporting units, and an allocation of such hypothetical purchase price is made to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assigned liabilities of the reporting units. The impairment charge is calculated as the amount, if any, that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the residual amount of goodwill that results from this hypothetical purchase price allocation. An Impairment Test must be performed more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that suggest that the fair value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not fallen below its carrying value. |
4
During the three months ended December 28, 2008, the market capitalization of the Company was below its net book value, which the Company has concluded was a triggering event that required the Company to perform an interim Impairment Test. Due to the complexity of estimating the fair value of the goodwill of each reporting unit required in the step one analysis, and the complexity of estimating the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of the reporting units in the step two analysis, the Company was not able to complete the interim Impairment Test by the filing deadline for its Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended December 28, 2008. The Company has estimated that the interim Impairment Test, when completed, will result in a probable pre-tax impairment charge that will be in the range of $6 million to $12 million. During the three-month period ended December 28, 2008, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $9 million, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, which is its best reasonable estimate of the probable impairment to the goodwill of one or both of its reporting units. Based upon the completion of the interim Impairment Test, the Company will record an adjustment, if any, to this estimated impairment charge in the quarter ending March 29, 2009. This impairment charge, and any adjustment thereof, will not have any effect on the cash expenditures of the Company, or any adverse effect on the covenant calculations under the Companys debt agreements or the Companys overall compliance with these covenants. | ||
Provisions for Income Taxes: The provisions for income taxes include all currently payable federal, state and local taxes that are based upon the Companys taxable income and the change during the fiscal years in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company provides for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in statutory tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | ||
The Companys provision for income taxes is based upon an effective tax rate of 39.0%, which is the sum of the top U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and a composite rate for state income taxes (net of federal tax benefit) in the various states in which the Company operates. | ||
Beginning with the Companys adoption on April 2, 2007 of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Based on its recent evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Companys consolidated financial statements. Tax years still open to general examination or other adjustment as of December 28, 2008 include tax years ended April 2, 2006, April 1, 2007, and March 30, 2008. The Companys policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a charge to interest expense in the Companys consolidated statements of income. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if such positions were probable of being sustained. | ||
Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalty amounts are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers. Total royalty expenses, net of royalty income, included in cost of sales amounted to $4.7 million and $3.2 million for the nine-month periods ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, respectively. | ||
(Loss) earnings Per Share: (Loss) earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share on the face of the consolidated statements of income for all entities with complex capital structures. (Loss) earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted weighted average shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of all options would be used to repurchase common shares at market value. The number of shares remaining after the exercise proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the options. |

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Companys allowances against accounts receivable are primarily contractually agreed-upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Funding of the majority of the Companys allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis. | ||
The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of agreed upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. Consistent with the guidance provided in Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products) (EITF 01-9), by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), all such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities. When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments. | ||
The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to appropriate levels. The timing of the customer initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have no impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity. | ||
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for a reporting entity to measure fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its non-financial assets and liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however, the Company does not anticipate that it will materially impact the Companys consolidated financial statements. |
6
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). This statement provides companies an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, on March 31, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159. Upon adoption, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any items within the scope of SFAS No. 159; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. | ||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. | ||
2. | Share-Based Compensation: The Company has two incentive stock plans, the 1995 Stock Option Plan (1995 Plan) and the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2006 Plan). The Company granted non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors from the 1995 Plan through the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006. In conjunction with the approval of the 2006 Plan by the Companys stockholders at its Annual Meeting in August 2006, options may no longer be issued from the 1995 Plan. | |
The 2006 Plan is intended to attract and retain directors, officers and employees of the Company and to motivate these persons to achieve performance objectives related to the Companys overall goal of increasing stockholder value. The principal reason for adopting the 2006 Plan is to ensure that the Company has a mechanism for long-term, equity-based incentive compensation to directors, officers and employees. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan may be in the form of qualified or non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive compensation units consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Companys common stock, or any combination thereof within the limitations set forth in the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, which selects eligible employees and non-employee directors to participate in the 2006 Plan and determines the type, amount and duration of individual awards. | ||
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock options under SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), consistent with the method previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. The Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method permitted by SFAS No. 123(R). Under the modified prospective transition method, SFAS No. 123(R) applies to stock options granted on or after April 3, 2006 as well as the unvested portion of stock options that were outstanding as of April 2, 2006, including those that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense recognized during the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007 included compensation for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, April 2, 2006 in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R). | ||
The Company recorded $160,000 and $542,000 of share-based compensation expense during the three and nine-month periods ended December 28, 2008, respectively; and recorded $155,000 and $432,000 of share-based compensation expense during the three and nine-month periods ended December 30, 2007, respectively. No share-based compensation costs have been capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of December 28, 2008. | ||

Non-vested Stock: The fair value of non-vested stock granted is determined based on the number of shares granted multiplied by the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. All non-vested stock granted under the 2006 Plan vests based upon continued service. | ||
On August 25, 2006, the Company granted 375,000 shares of non-vested stock to certain employees with a fair value of $3.15 as of the date of the stock grants. These shares have four-year cliff vesting. The Company recognized $73,000 and $221,000 of compensation expense related to these non-vested stock grants during each of the three and nine-month periods ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, respectively, which was included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The deferred amount of these non-vested stock grants is being amortized by monthly charges to earnings over the remaining portion of the vesting period. | ||
At December 28, 2008, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to these stock grants was $493,000. The amount of compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants to be recognized in future periods will be affected by any future non-vested stock grants and by the separation from the Company of any of these employees whose stock grants are unvested as of such employees separation date. |

The deferred amount of these non-vested stock grants is being amortized by monthly charges to earnings over the remaining portion of the vesting period. | ||
At December 28, 2008, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to these stock grants was $92,000. The amount of compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants to be recognized in future periods will be affected by any future non-vested stock grants and by the discontinuance of service on the Companys board of any of these non-employee directors whose stock grants are unvested as of the date of such non-employee directors discontinued service. | ||

4. | Financing Arrangements | |
Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a commercial factor. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires in July 2010, the factor remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor on the due date, the Company is charged interest at prime less 1.0%, which was 2.25% at December 28, 2008, until payment is received. The factor bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved customers that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances, claims and discounts. The Companys factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination occurs, the Company must either assume the credit risks for shipments after the date of such termination or cease shipments to such customer. | ||
