NOTE 1BUSINESS
Harry & David Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is a vertically integrated multi-channel specialty retailer and producer of branded premium gift-quality fruit, food products and gifts marketed under the Harry and David®, Wolfermans®, and Cushmans® brands. The Company markets its products through catalogs distributed through the mail, the Internet, business-to-business, consumer telemarketing, stores, including Cushmans and pop-up seasonal stores, and wholesale distribution to other retailers.
Sales of the Companys products are subject to a variety of agricultural risks, fuel and energy price fluctuations, delivery rate increases, and extreme weather conditions, and are subject to regulation and inspection by various governmental agencies. Historically, the Companys business has been subject to substantial seasonal variations in demand. A significant portion of the Companys net sales and net earnings are realized during the holiday selling season from October through December, and levels of net sales and net earnings are significantly lower during the period from January to September. Accordingly, operating results will vary based on the timing of holidays and the ripening of seasonal fruits, which, if delayed, can cause delays in product shipments.
As a result of our operating performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company does not satisfy the financial covenants under its revolving credit facility and will not be able to borrow funds under the facility unless it is amended or the covenant non-compliance is waived. Based on the Companys current working capital and anticipated working capital requirements, the Company will not be able to continue to finance operations, including servicing its payment obligations under the Senior Notes, without securing new capital and restructuring its obligations. The Company has commenced preliminary discussions with its revolving credit lenders, bondholders, other creditors and owners in an effort to recapitalize. The Company has retained Rothschild Inc. and Alvarez & Marsal as financial advisors and Jones Day as legal advisor to explore recapitalization structures. The Company and its advisors are exploring all alternatives. There can be no assurance that our efforts to obtain new capital and restructure our obligations will be successful, and therefore, there is substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements include the consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the thirteen-week and the twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles accepted in the United States for comparable annual financial statements. Our fiscal year ends the last Saturday in June, based on a 52/53 week year. Fiscal 2010 began on June 28, 2009 and ended on June 26, 2010. Fiscal 2011 began on June 27, 2010 and will end on June 25, 2011.
For further information, refer to the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended June 26, 2010, which are not included in this report.
In managements opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, which include typically recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations for the thirteen-week periods then ended. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2010 presented in this Form 10-Q has been derived from the Companys audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods in the fiscal year. In the second quarter of each fiscal year, the Company realizes its highest sales for the fiscal year as such quarter includes the most significant holidays that drive the largest portion of the gift-giving component of the Companys sales. It is also the period where the Company recognizes significant cost of goods sold and advertising expenses in connection with the increased sales.
The Company has revised amounts related to its income tax payable and deferred income tax liabilities recorded in the period ended December 26, 2009 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet with corresponding revision on its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, income tax payable was overstated by $8.7 million, current deferred tax liability was understated by $6.8 million and non-current deferred tax liability was understated by $1.9 million. The Companys current deferred income taxes, current income tax payable and non-current deferred tax liability, as previously reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, as $3.1 million, $27.3 million and $850, respectively, and have been revised to $9.9 million, $18.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Companys total comprehensive income for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 of $14,420 and total comprehensive loss for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 of $3,487 includes unrealized net losses (net of tax) associated with its pension plans of $600 and $870, respectively. The Companys total comprehensive income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009 of $31,923 and $10,388, respectively, includes an adjustment (net of tax) related to unrealized net losses associated with its pension plans of $204 and $393, respectively.

NOTE 3RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), which amends the disclosure guidance with respect to fair value measurements. Specifically, the new guidance requires disclosure of amounts transferred in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, a reconciliation presented on a gross basis rather than a net basis of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, greater disaggregation of the assets and liabilities for which fair value measurements are presented and more robust disclosure of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of the new guidance around the Level 3 activity reconciliations, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the guidance required for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendors multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION
Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and the Senior Floating Rate Notes due March 1, 2012 and Senior Fixed Rate Notes due March 1, 2013. The estimated carrying value of these instruments (except for the Senior Notes as shown in the table below) approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The fair values for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and the Senior Notes are measured using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) as defined within the fair value hierarchy prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820).
The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of the Companys Senior Notes:

As of December 25, 2010, purchased and internally developed software included software licenses acquired for $895 and financed through an outstanding capital lease agreement. See Note 6 Liquidity and Borrowing Arrangements. Accumulated amortization of purchased and internally developed software costs was $25,828, $23,844 and $21,479 as of December 25, 2010, June 26, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively. Amortization of software costs, which include software assets financed through capital leases, were $1,021 and $1,243 for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively, and $2,043 and $2,516 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company completed an evaluation of certain underperforming stores and related fixed assets and certain other long-lived assets. As a result of that evaluation the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge at December 26, 2009 of $699, all of which related to fixed assets. The impairment charge was recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The impairment amount was calculated by comparing the applicable stores net assets to fair value, which was based on a discounted cash flow model. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we completed an evaluation of certain underperforming stores and related fixed assets and certain other long-lived assets. As a result of our evaluation there was no impairment charge for stores during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company negotiated lease buy-outs for two of its stores and recognized $200 of termination costs, and in December 2009, the Company exercised its termination option related to its Eugene, Oregon call center lease and accrued the contractual amounts due of $78. As a result of the lease termination, fixed assets were reviewed for impairment and a charge of $231 was recorded in the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009. All accrued balances associated with the lease buy-outs and lease termination were fully paid by the end of fiscal 2010.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually. Historically, the annual impairment testing has occurred during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company reviews goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an interim basis should factors or indicators become apparent that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company completed its annual impairment assessment in fiscal 2010 and concluded that goodwill and other intangible assets were not impaired.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, due to unfavorable revenue and operating income results compared to expectations attributable to the Companys Harry and David and Wolfermans brands, we performed the interim impairment tests specific to the Harry and David trade name and the Wolfermans trade name, recipe and goodwill. A substantial portion of the revenue and operating income from Cushmans occurs in the third quarter of our fiscal year. We determined that the quarter and year-to-date results of Cushmans did not represent a triggering event and therefore, we did not perform an interim test of Cushmans trade name, recipe and goodwill during the second quarter of 2011. Our analysis compared the estimated fair value to the related carrying value. As a result of our interim test, we concluded that the carrying amounts of the Harry and David trade name and Wolfermans recipe exceeded their fair value, and an impairment loss was recorded. The Company recorded the impairment charges of $4,448 related to the Harry and David trade name and $565 related to the Wolfermans recipe within selling, general and administrative expenses in the period ended December 25, 2010. Wolfermans trade name and goodwill were not impaired as of December 25, 2010.
No impairment charges related to the goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded in prior fiscal year comparable periods.

Impairment Testing and Assumptions
The impairment testing results related to our indefinite-lived intangible assets, our goodwill and long-lived assets were calculated using managements estimates of future cash flows to be generated from the respective assets or reporting units and a discount rate inherent within the Companys cost of capital. The nature of these analyses requires significant judgment by management about future operating results, including revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, applicable discount and royalty rates. While management believes the assumption used are appropriate based on future expectations regarding revenue, operating income and growth, such assumptions have been developed in a highly uncertain environment in light of our recent financial performance and near term cash requirements. If the Company had used different assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and discount and royalty rate, the impairment charges we recognized this quarter might have been materially different. However, management believes that the assumptions and estimates are reasonable and represent the most likely future operating results based upon the current information available. The Company classifies the inputs used in these measurements as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC Topic 820.
NOTE 5INCOME TAXES
For interim financial reporting purposes, tax expense or benefit is calculated based on the estimated effective tax rate, adjusted to give effect to anticipated permanent differences. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 were 33.0% and 42.4%, respectively. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the difference in the effective rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance adjustment expense of $17,594 relating to certain deferred tax assets, and state tax expense of
9
Table of Contents
$134. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the difference in the effective rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance adjustment of $9,042, relating to certain deferred tax assets, and state tax obligations of $821.
The Company routinely reviews the future realization of deferred tax assets based on projected future reversals of taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. As of December 25, 2010, the Company has a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether the realization of these assets is more likely than not. The nature of these analyses requires significant judgment by management about future operating results, including revenues, margins and operating expenses.
NOTE 6LIQUIDITY AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
Liquidity
At December 25, 2010, the Company had a cash balance of $66,908 and accounts payable of $57,935, compared to a cash balance of $108,512 and accounts payable of $32,506 at December 26, 2009. Based on our results of operations during the fiscal 2011 key holiday selling season, the Company failed to meet the required minimum fixed coverage charge ratio as of December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the Company will not be able to borrow funds under the facility unless it is amended or the covenant non-compliance is waived. There can be no assurance that the facility will be amended or that the financial covenant non-compliance will be waived.
Based on the Companys current working capital and anticipated working capital requirements, the Company will not be able to continue to finance operations, including servicing its payment obligations under the Senior Notes, without securing new capital and restructuring its obligations. The Company has commenced preliminary discussions with its revolving credit lenders, bondholders, other creditors and owners in an effort to recapitalize. There can be no assurance that our efforts to obtain capital and restructure our obligations will be successful, and therefore, there are substantial doubts as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On July 7, 2010, Harry and David entered into a third amendment to its revolving credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, (A) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit agreement from March 20, 2011 to the earliest to occur of (i) July 7, 2014, (ii) 45 days prior to the final maturity date of Harry and Davids Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2012 (unless such notes are paid in full prior to such date) and (iii) 45 days prior to the final maturity date of Harry and Davids 9.0% Senior Notes due 2013 (unless such notes are paid in full prior to such date) and (B) reduced the size of the facility from $125,000 to $105,000 (subject to an accordion feature providing Harry and David with an option to increase the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreement by up to $20,000, upon satisfaction of certain conditions and at the sole discretion of any existing lenders requested to provide any increased commitment), (C) increased certain fees payable under the revolving credit agreement and (D) increased the margins on borrowings under the revolving credit agreement, (i) in the case of Eurodollar borrowings, from a range of 1.50% to 2.00% to a range of 3.25% to 3.50% and (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings, from a range of .50% to 1.00% to a range of 2.25% to 2.50% and changed the basis for determining the applicable margin from the method based on the Companys consolidated leverage ratio to a usage-based method tied to the level of borrowings and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. In connection with entering into the third amendment, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $2,516. In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-55-2-Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, $250 of unamortized deferred costs associated with creditors not participating in the new amendment were written off during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and recorded in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The remaining portion of unamortized expenses have been combined with the new financing costs and will be amortized through January 15, 2012, the date of the first possible maturity of the revolving credit agreement. The Company had total unamortized deferred financing costs related to its revolving credit facility of $2,188, $929 and $1,551 as of December 25, 2010, June 26, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively. If the revolving credit facility terminates we will have to write off all of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to that facility, which at December 25, 2010 amounted to $2,188.
As of December 25, 2010, under the revolving credit facility there was $891 in outstanding letters of credit. The maximum available borrowing, were it available, under the Credit Agreement is determined in accordance with an asset-based debt limitation formula. We are required to pay a commitment fee to each lender equal to (i) 0.75% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender for each day on which usage is greater than 60% or (ii) 1.00% per annum on the average daily unused amount of each commitment of such lender for each day on which usage is less than or equal to 60%. The commitment fees are payable on the last day of each calendar year quarter and the associated expense is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Although the facility is not available we continue to accrue the commitment fees.
The revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for senior secured credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, capital expenditures, asset dispositions, acquisitions, investments, dividends and other restricted payments, liens and transactions with affiliates. These covenants significantly limit the Companys ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries in the form of loans, dividends or other advances other than dividends paid to the Company by Harry and David for the purpose of paying (i) income taxes when and as due, (ii) management fees payable to

Wasserstein under the management agreement or (iii) operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and other corporate overhead costs and expenses (including legal and accounting expenses and similar expenses and customary fees to non-officer directors in an amount not to exceed $350 in any fiscal year).
Long-Term Debt
As of December 25, 2010, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Harry and David, had outstanding $58,170 in Senior Floating Rate Notes due March 1, 2012 and $140,192 of Senior Fixed Rate Notes due March 1, 2013.
The floating rate Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 5%, calculated and paid quarterly. The interest rate was set at 5.30% and 5.54% at December 25, 2010 and June 26, 2010, respectively. The fixed rate Senior Notes accrue interest at an annual fixed rate of 9.0%, with semiannual interest payments due on the first day of March and September.
The deferred financing fees incurred in connection with the Senior Notes offerings and related exchanges have been recorded as deferred financing costs within long-term assets. The remaining costs are amortized over the remaining life of the associated Senior Notes and as of December 25, 2010 and June 26, 2010, $2,110 and $2,674, respectively, remained on the balance sheet for all fees associated with the Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes represent the senior unsecured obligations of Harry and David, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harry & David Holdings, Inc., and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Harry & David Holdings, Inc. and all of the Companys subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains various restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, asset dispositions, acquisitions, investments, dividends and other restricted payments, liens and transactions with affiliates. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the indenture governing the Senior Notes as of December 25, 2010.
Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs
Amortization expense of deferred financing costs was $798 and $593 for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively, and $1,821 and $1,186 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively, and is included within interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 included $250 of unamortized deferred costs that were written off in association with entering into the third amendment to the revolving credit facility.
If the revolving credit facility is terminated, we will have to write off all of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to that facility, which at December 25, 2010 amounted to $2,188.
Capital lease obligation
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company acquired a software license for $895, financed by a capital lease agreement. The interest rate on the agreement is 5.99% due in two annual installments of principal and interest. The current portion of the remaining obligation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2010, was $156.
NOTE 7STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value method. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses certain assumptions for use in the model. The expected volatility assumption is based on an average historical volatility of the publicly traded stock of a representative set of comparable companies. The expected term assumption is either the final vesting date or a period derived from the time between the date of final vesting and the expiration of the option, depending on the vesting provisions of the underlying grant. The risk-free rate for the expected term is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions used for the options granted during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009 are as follows:

For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2010, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $286 and $496, respectively and the total tax benefit recognized for these periods was $112 and $195, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 26, 2009, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $112 and $171, respectively and the total tax benefit recognized for these periods was $43 and $66, respectively. The Company amortizes the estimated fair value over the vesting period. As of December 25, 2010, there was $1,671 of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan that will be recognized over the remaining vesting period. The weighted-average period of the remaining cost is 1.9 years.
The Company utilized a forfeiture rate of 0% when arriving at the amount of stock compensation expense recognized, as the options were granted to few individuals with relatively short or immediate vesting.

NOTE 9COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In an effort to manage its liquidity relative to its anticipated needs, the Company is seeking to adjust prices and payment terms with third party providers. In some cases, payment obligations to third party providers have become delinquent. In the event that we are unable to negotiate an acceptable resolution with these providers, we expect that legal proceedings may be commenced against us and the outcome of these proceedings could have a material and adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify another party from losses arising in connection with the Companys products or services. The Company also enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with its contractors, customers and landlords. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Companys activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified partys activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors that indemnify such persons for certain liabilities they may incur in connection with their services as an officer or director, and the Company has agreed to indemnify certain investors for certain liabilities they may incur in connection with the sale of the Senior Notes to the initial purchasers and the 2005 exchange offer relating to the Senior Notes. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally unlimited. As the Company believes that the occurrence of any events that would trigger payments under these contracts is remote, no liabilities have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for these indemnifications.
The Companys food and horticultural products are subject to regulation and inspection by various governmental agencies, and involve the risk of injury to consumers. As such, the Company may be required to recall some of its products. The Company maintains product liability insurance in an amount that it believes is adequate to cover the costs associated with these recalls.
The Company leases certain properties consisting primarily of retail stores, seasonal pop-up stores, distribution centers, and equipment with original terms ranging primarily from 3 to 10 years and up to 22 years. Certain leases contain renewal options; generally for five year periods, with rent payments during the lease term dependent on the defined percent increase or increases based on certain indexes, in each case as defined within the individual lease agreements. In accordance with ASC Topic 840 Leases, for leases that contain fixed escalations of the minimum annual lease payment during the original term of the lease and other lease incentives, the Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records the difference between rent expense and the amount that is payable as deferred rent. In addition to minimum rental payments, certain of the Companys retail store leases require the Company to make contingent rental payments, which are typically structured as either minimum rent plus additional rent based on a percentage of store sales if a specified store sales threshold is exceeded, or rent based on a negotiated threshold of sales after which a percent of sales is paid to the landlord. Such contingent rental expense is accrued in each reporting period if achievement of any factor is considered probable. Extra payments such as common area maintenance and property taxes are also required on certain leases.
Total rental expense for all operating leases was as follows:

On February 18, 2005, the Company established a Liquidity Event Award Program for each member of its senior management team who had received stock options under the 2004 Stock Option Plan as of that date. The aggregate amount of all potential awards to senior management is equal to $6,372 or 7.5% of the portion of the proceeds from the sale of notes, which were distributed on February 25, 2005 to the Companys equity sponsors as a return of capital. The amount of each award, as a percentage of all awards, is proportional to the percentage of all of the options such member was awarded as of February 18, 2005. The right to receive 20% of the award vested on June 17, 2005, an additional 20% of the award vested on June 17, 2006, and 5% vested in the next twelve quarters.
The awards are 100% vested, representing $6,034, which also reflects forfeitures. In each case, vesting occurred as long as the award recipient was an employee of Harry & David Holdings, Inc. or its affiliates on the vesting date. Award recipients will not be entitled to receive any vested portion of their awards unless by June 17, 2011: (i) a change of control (as so defined) occurs; (ii) the aggregate net sales proceeds in such change of control plus certain other distributions received by the Companys equity sponsors exceeds a certain level; (iii) the Company has available cash, or if applicable, non-cash consideration equal to the aggregate of all awards; and (iv) certain other conditions are met. Distributions in respect of the awards will be payable in cash or, in some circumstances, the non-cash consideration received in the change of control either at the time of the change of control or, in some circumstances, at a later specified date. As of December 25, 2010, the Company has concluded that it is not obligated to accrue a liability or recognize any expense for the Liquidity Event Award Program.

NOTE 10RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into an agreement with its principal shareholders, Wasserstein and Highfields, for financial management, consulting, and advisory services. The Company has agreed to pay fees of $1,000 annually (excluding out-of-pocket reimbursements) under this agreement. The fees are accrued to the extent that they are not paid in any such period.

These amounts were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses related party.
NOTE 11SEGMENT REPORTING
Performance of business units is evaluated considering revenue growth achieved and potential profitability, contribution to other units and capital investment requirements. Reportable segments are strategic business units that offer similar products and are managed separately because the business units utilize distinct marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments, where applicable, are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Direct Marketing segment generates net sales of premium gift-quality fruit, gourmet food products and gifts under the Harry & David®, Wolfermans® and Cushmans® brands by marketing through catalogs, the Internet, business-to-business and consumer telemarketing operations. The Companys catalogs reach customers throughout the United States and, to a lesser extent, in Canada. The Stores segment generates net sales of Harry & David®, Wolfermans® and Cushmans® merchandise at various retail locations (outlet stores, specialty stores, seasonal pop-up stores, and a Country Village Store). As of December 25, 2010, the Company operated 122 Harry and David stores in 38 states and 16 seasonal pop-up stores. The Wholesale segment generates net sales by selling Harry & David® brand, Wolfermans® brand and Cushmans® brand wholesale products to national retailers as well as commercial sales of surplus, non-gift quality fruit grown in the Companys orchards surrounding Medford, Oregon. Business units that support the Companys operations, including orchards, product supply, distribution, customer operations, facilities, information technology services and administrative and marketing support functions are grouped in the Other segment.
Net intersegment sales were $15,831 and $19,117 for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively, and $21,743 and $33,457 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, respectively. Total assets in the Other segment include corporate cash and cash equivalents, the net book value of corporate facilities and related information systems, third-party debt and other corporate long-lived assets, including the Companys manufacturing and distribution facilities.

OVERVIEW
General
We are a multi-channel specialty retailer and producer of branded premium gift-quality fruit and gourmet food products and other gifts, which are marketed under the Harry & David®, Wolfermans® and Cushmans® brands. We market our products through multiple channels, including direct marketing (via catalog, phone, Internet, mail/fax and telemarketing), business-to-business, our stores, including Cushmans and pop-up seasonal stores, and wholesale distribution through select retailers.
MATTERS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY
A portion of our Direct Marketing sales are derived from Fruit-of-the-Month Club® product shipments. As such, results in this segment may vary between periods due to variations in fruit availability year-to-year, as well as other factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Despite making product improvements, introducing new packaging, accelerating marketing initiatives, enhancing Harry & Davids website and taking cost-reduction actions, our operating results for the second quarter were disappointing. While we were successful in attracting new customers, growing our core business and increasing our website orders, sales were below our expectations, and we were forced to offer significant discounts late in the holiday selling period. Significant discounting of our products negatively impacted our gross margin percentage and gross profit, which resulted in a significantly lower cash balance as of December 25, 2010. For further details on our liquidity and ability to continue to finance operations, see the discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Net sales of $262,128 for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, decreased $4,904, or 1.8%, from the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009. The decline was primarily attributable to lower sales volume in our Wholesale segment combined with higher discounts and markdowns in our Direct Marketing segment. The decline was partially offset by higher order volume in the Direct Marketing segment.
Net sales of $302,568 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010, decreased $10,728, or 3.4%, from the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009. The decline was attributable to the same factors mentioned above for the thirteen-week period.
Direct Marketing
Net sales in our Direct Marketing segment decreased $1,107, or 0.6%, from the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010. The decline was primarily driven by increased markdowns and discounts, partially offset by increased order volumes. The volume of orders increased 2.2%, although the average sales per order fell by 2.8%.
Net sales in our Direct Marketing segment decreased $2,706, or 1.3%, from the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010. The decline was attributable to the same factors mentioned above for the thirteen-week period. In the twenty-six week period, volume of orders increased 2.7%, although the average sales per order fell by 2.9%.
Stores
Our Stores segment net sales decreased $697, or 1.2%, from the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010. The total sales decrease was primarily driven by higher markdowns and fewer comparable stores, partially offset by the impact of our new seasonal pop-up stores and a sales increase of 3%, or approximately $1,527, in our comparable stores.
Our Stores segment net sales decreased $2,137, or 2.8%, from the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the same factors mentioned above for the thirteen-week period. On a comparable store basis, sales increased 2%, or approximately $1,441, during the twenty-six week period.
As of December 25, 2010, we had 122 regular stores in operation compared to 136 stores in operation as of December 26, 2009. Not included in the store counts are our seasonal pop-up stores. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as part of new marketing initiatives, we opened 17 seasonal pop-up stores, 16 of which were still in operation as of December 25, 2010. We did not have pop-up stores in the prior fiscal year comparable period.
A store becomes comparable in the first fiscal month after it has been open for a full twelve fiscal months, at which point its results are included in comparable sales comparisons. When a stores square footage has been changed as a result of reconfiguration or relocation in the same mall or retail complex, the store continues to be treated as a comparable store. However, when a store is closed for an extended period of time, it is no longer treated as a comparable store and is excluded from comparable sales comparisons for that period.

Wholesale
Our Wholesale segment net sales declined $3,100, or 19.6%, from the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010. The decline was primarily due to lower sales to certain wholesale customers.
Our Wholesale segment net sales declined $5,885, or 27.4%, from the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009 to the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010. The decline was primarily due to the same factors mentioned above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6,381, or 8.9%, in the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 from the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the trade name impairment charge of $5,013 combined with increased outside services spending as a result of outsourcing certain functions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4,898, or 4.7%, in the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 from the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009. The increase was driven primarily by the factors discussed above.

The increase in interest expense in both the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 25, 2010 was primarily associated with increased interest rates and a higher level of seasonal borrowings under our revolving credit facility, offset by lower interest on our Senior Floating Rate Notes.
INCOME TAXES
For interim financial reporting purposes, tax expense or benefit is calculated based on the estimated effective tax rate, adjusted to give effect to anticipated permanent differences. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 were 33.0% and 42.4%, respectively. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the difference in the effective rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance adjustment expense of $17,594, relating to certain deferred tax assets and state tax expense of $134. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the difference in the effective rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance adjustment of $9,042, relating to certain deferred tax assets, and state tax obligations of $821.
We routinely review the future realization of deferred tax assets based on projected future reversal of taxable temporary differences, available tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. As of December 25, 2010, we have a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether the realization of these assets is more likely than not. The nature of these analyses requires significant judgment by management about future operating results, including revenues, margins and operating expenses.

EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our EBITDA for the thirteen-week period ended December 25, 2010 decreased $42,059, primarily due to the increase in the operating loss as a result of the factors discussed above.
For an explanation of why management believes EBITDA is a useful measure for understanding our results of operations, see Non-GAAP Financial Measure: EBITDA below. The following table reconciles EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the closest GAAP liquidity measure to EBITDA, and net income, which we believe to be the closest GAAP performance measure to EBITDA (dollars are in thousands).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to service our debt, finance working capital and make capital expenditures. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and available unused borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of December 25, 2010, the revolving credit borrowings were fully repaid, and we had $891 in outstanding letters of credit. As further discussed below, we were unable to maintain a sufficient available cash balance at December 31, 2010 and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under our $105 million revolving credit facility and, as a result, we will not be able to borrow under the facility unless it is amended or the financial covenant non-compliance is waived. There can be no assurance that the facility will be amended or that the financial covenant non-compliance will be waived.
Based on our current working capital and anticipated working capital requirements, we will not be able to finance continuing operations including servicing its payment obligations under the Senior Notes, without securing new capital and restructuring our obligations. There can be no assurance that our efforts to obtain new capital and restructure our obligations will be successful; and therefore, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Revolving Credit Facility
Historically, our principal sources of liquidity have been available cash, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In July 2010, we amended our credit facility to, among other things, (A) extend the maturity date from March 20, 2011 to the earliest to occur of (i) July 7, 2014, (ii) 45 days prior to the final maturity date of Harry and Davids Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2012 (unless such notes are paid in full prior to such date) and (iii) 45 days prior to the final maturity date of Harry and Davids 9.0% Senior Notes due 2013 (unless such notes are paid in full prior to such date), (B) reduce the size of the facility from $125,000 to $105,000 (subject to an accordion feature providing Harry and David with an option to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $20,000, upon satisfaction of certain conditions and at the sole discretion of any existing lenders requested to provide any increased commitment), (C) increase certain fees payable under the revolving credit facility and (D) increase the margins on borrowings under the revolving credit facility, (i) in the case of Eurodollar borrowings, from a range of 1.50% to 2.00% to a range of 3.25% to 3.50% and (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings, from a range of .50% to 1.00% to a range of 2.25% to 2.50% and changed the basis for determining the applicable margin from the method based on our consolidated leverage ratio to a usage-based method tied to the level of borrowings and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, we have historically drawn on our revolving credit facility to provide seasonal working capital to support inventory buildup and catalog production in advance of the holiday selling season and for other general corporate purposes. We have historically generated substantial amounts of cash each holiday selling season. We are required by our banks to pay down the revolving credit facility to zero by the next business day following December 25th of each year. We always were able to meet this requirement, including fiscal year 2011. In addition, the revolving credit facility requires that, on a consolidated basis, we maintain as of December 31st each year an available cash balance (defined as all cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,

minus all accounts payable) of at least $50,000, failing which we are required to meet and maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the revolving credit facility), subject to certain conditions. At December 31, 2010, we had an available cash balance of $15,075 and failed to meet the required minimum fixed coverage charge ratio and, accordingly, we will not be able to borrow under the facility unless it is amended or the financial covenant non-compliance is waived. There can be no assurance that the facility will be amended or that the financial covenant non-compliance will be waived. Cash generated during the holiday selling season has historically been used to fund our operations for several months during the post-holiday selling season, until we begin to build inventories and other working capital components to support our next holiday selling season.
As of December 25, 2010, under the revolving credit facility there was $891 in outstanding letters of credit. We are required to pay a commitment fee to each lender equal to (i) 0.75% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender for each day on which usage is greater than 60% or (ii) 1.00% per annum on the average daily unused amount of each commitment of such lender for each day on which usage is less than or equal to 60%. The commitment fees are payable on the last day of each calendar year quarter and the associated expense is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Although the facility is not available, we continue to accrue the commitment fees.
Harry and Davids obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by us and by all of Harry and Davids existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by first-priority pledges of the stock of Harry and David and each of the subsidiary guarantors equity interests and 65% of the equity interests of any future first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as first-priority security interests in and mortgages on all of our, Harry and Davids and each of the subsidiary guarantors respective tangible and intangible property.
The revolving credit facility requires mandatory prepayments upon the receipt of proceeds from certain assets sales, casualty events and debt offerings. The revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for senior secured credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, capital expenditures, asset dispositions, acquisitions, investments, dividends and other restricted payments, liens and transactions with affiliates.
Long-term Debt
As of December 25, 2010, Harry and David, our wholly owned subsidiary, had outstanding $58,170 in Senior Floating Rate Notes due March 1, 2012, and $140,192 of Senior Fixed Rate Notes due March 1, 2013 (collectively, the Senior Notes). The Senior Floating Rate Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 5%, calculated and paid quarterly. The interest rate was set at 5.30% and 5.54% at December 25, 2010 and June 26, 2010, respectively. The Senior Fixed Rate Notes accrue interest at an annual fixed rate of 9.0%, with semiannual interest payments.
The Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Harry and David and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and all of Harry and Davids subsidiaries.The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains various restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, engaging in asset dispositions or acquisitions, making investments, and our and our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends and other restricted payments as well as our ability to incur liens and transactions with affiliates. Our ability to comply with these covenants, as well as our ability to service our payment obligations under the Senior Notes, may be affected by events beyond our control, such as those described under Item 1A. -Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2010 and Item 2A.-Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants and payment terms, we may not be able to borrow additional funds as necessary, and the holders of the Senior Notes and lenders under the credit facility could accelerate all amounts then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
At December 25, 2010, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the indenture. Our debt service requirements consist primarily of interest expense on the Senior Notes and on any current and future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our other short-term cash requirements are expected to consist mainly of cash to fund our operations, capital expenditures, cash payments under various operating leases and repayment of any borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Certain funds are sponsored by Wasserstein Partners, LP, and its affiliates (Wasserstein) and certain funds are sponsored by Highfields Capital Management LP (Highfields) who currently own approximately 63% and 34%, respectively, of our common stock. Wasserstein and/or Highfields have purchased and may continue to purchase our outstanding Senior Notes in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases will depend on prevailing market conditions and other factors, and there can be no assurance as to when or whether any such purchases may occur. The amounts involved may be material.
Consolidated Cash Flows
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $53,856 in the twenty-six-week period ended December 25, 2010, compared to $94,523 in the same period ended December 26, 2009. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily driven by increased operating loss

as a result of disappointing operating results during the key holiday selling season. For further details on our key performance indicators, see the discussion on our operating results presented above.
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $1,991 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $1,406 in the same period last year. Investing activities in the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 consisted of proceeds from matured investment securities, partially offset by capital expenditures. Investing activities in the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2009 consisted primarily of capital expenditures.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities totaled $2,669 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2010 and was primarily comprised of payments for financing fees associated with the renewal of our revolving credit facility.
Seasonality
Historically, our business has been subject to substantial seasonal variations in demand. A significant portion of our net sales and net earnings are realized during the holiday selling season from October through December, and levels of net sales and net earnings have generally been significantly lower during the period from January to September. We believe this is a general pattern for the direct-to-customer and retail industries, but it is more pronounced for our company than for others due to the gift-giving nature of our products.
Accordingly, changing economic conditions or deviations from projected demand for products during the holiday selling season (the fourth calendar quarter) can have a materially favorable or adverse impact on our financial position and results for the full year. Because we commit to certain fixed costs in anticipation of expected sales during the holiday selling season, if our actual sales during that calendar quarter are lower than anticipated, our profitability and cash flows will be negatively impacted. In addition, our primary growing season occurs during the second and third calendar quarters. Because we must commit to certain fixed costs before we know the results of a particular harvest, lower than expected harvest yields can also negatively impact our sales and profitability.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we performed an interim evaluation of potential impairment related to certain of our indefinite lived intangible assets, our goodwill and long-lived assets. Our tests were calculated using managements estimates of future cash flows to be generated from the respective assets or reporting units and a discount rate inherent within the Companys cost of capital. The nature of these analyses requires significant judgment by management about future operating results, including revenues, gross margins, operating expenses and applicable discount and royalty rates. While management believes the assumptions used are appropriate based on future expectations for revenue, operating income growth, such assumptions have been developed in an uncertain environment in light of our recent unfavorable operating results and near term cash requirements. The carrying value of our goodwill at December 25, 2010 is $12,236, including $6,818 for Wolfermans and $5,418 for Cushmans. Other than goodwill, the carrying value of our trade names, trademarks and recipes for Harry and David, Wolfermans and Cushmans at December 25, 2010 is $22,472, $3,466 and $1,188, respectively. In our impairment tests of goodwill and intangibles during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we assumed that revenues and EBITDA performance will recover and in future years will be similar to historical levels. If the Company had used different assumptions and estimates regarding future expectations and discount and royalty rates, the results of our impairment testing during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 might have been materially different. In addition, if our near term actions to address our recent unfavorable operating results are not as successful as we expect or we are unable to fund our operations, our goodwill and intangibles may become impaired in during the remainder of fiscal 2011 or in future periods. The recognition of impairment of all or a significant portion of our goodwill and intangibles would negatively affect the Companys reported results of operations and total capitalization, the effect of which could be material.
For details regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE: EBITDA
Our measure of EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and is computed on a consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.
We use EBITDA, in conjunction with GAAP measures such as cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities, to assess our liquidity, financial leverage and ability to service our outstanding debt. For example, certain covenant and compliance ratios under our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes use EBITDA, as further adjusted for certain items as defined in each agreement. If we are not able to comply with these covenants, we may not be able to borrow additional amounts, incur more debt to finance our ongoing operations and working capital or take other actions. In addition, the lenders could accelerate the outstanding amounts, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
We use EBITDA, in conjunction with the other GAAP measures discussed above, to assess our debt to cash flow leverage, to plan and forecast overall expectations and to evaluate actual results against such expectations; to assess our ability to service existing debt and incur new debt; and to measure the rate of capital expenditure and cash outlays from year to year and to assess our ability to fund future capital and non-capital projects. We believe that, like management, debt and equity investors frequently use (and expect to be able to continue to use) EBITDA to compare debt to cash flow leverage among companies.

EBITDA, when used as a liquidity measure, has limitations as an analytical tool. These limitations include:
| EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| EBITDA is not a measure of discretionary cash available to us to pay down debt; |
| EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; and |
| other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
To compensate for these limitations, we analyze EBITDA in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures impacting liquidity and cash flow, including depreciation and amortization, capital spending and net income in terms of the impact on depreciation and amortization, changes in net working capital, other non-operating income and losses that affect cash flow and liquidity, interest expense and taxes. Similarly, you should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for these GAAP liquidity measures.
We also use EBITDA, in conjunction with GAAP measures such as operating income and net income, to assess our operating performance and that of each of our businesses and segments. Specifically, we use EBITDA, alongside the GAAP measures mentioned above, to measure profitability and profit margins and to make budgeting decisions relating to historical performance and future expectations of our operating segments and business as a whole, and to make performance comparisons of our company compared to other peer companies. We believe that, like management, debt and equity investors frequently use (and expect to be able to continue to use) EBITDA to assess our operating performance and compare it to that of other peer companies.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our normal business operations, including risks from changes in interest rates and commodity prices, which could impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We plan to manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and on a limited basis, the use of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative investment purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest on our floating rate Senior Notes and on our borrowings under the revolving credit facility accrues at variable rates based on factors such as LIBOR and the federal funds overnight rate. Assuming we were to borrow the entire $105 million under our revolving credit facility, were it available, together with the principal amount due for our floating rate Senior Notes as of December 25, 2010, a 1.0% change in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would result in a $1,632 corresponding effect on our interest expense on an annual basis.
Commodity Risk
We have commodity risk as a result of some of the raw materials we utilize in our business, including paper for our catalog operations, corrugated packaging for our shipping needs, chocolate, butter fat, sugar and cheese used to produce some of our products, and fruit that we do not grow ourselves. Although we do not enter into formal hedging arrangements to manage our commodity risk, we typically have multiple sources for these commodities.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation examined those disclosure controls and procedures as of December 25, 2010. Based upon this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 25, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2010.
We are unable to borrow under our revolving credit facility. We will not be able to finance continuing operations without securing new capital and restructuring our debt obligations. Our difficulties may be exacerbated by problems resulting from our liquidity issues.
As a result of our operating performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we do not satisfy the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and, as a result, we are not able to borrow under the facility unless it is amended or the covenant non-compliance is waived. There is no assurance we will be able to successfully amend our credit facility or obtain a waiver from the covenant non-compliance. In order for us to satisfy our obligations, including our payment obligation under the Senior Notes, and to continue to operate, we will need to restructure our debt obligations and will need to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms. If we are unsuccessful in this endeavor, we will not be able to continue as a going concern.
Difficulties arising from our stressed financial position may further exacerbate our problems. In an effort to manage our liquidity relative to our anticipated needs, we are seeking to adjust prices and payment terms with our third party providers. In some cases, payment obligations to third party providers have became delinquent. In the event that we are unable to negotiate an acceptable resolution with these providers, we expect that legal proceedings may be commenced against us, and the outcome of these proceedings could have a material and adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that our third party providers will otherwise continue to do business with us as they previously have in the ordinary course. In the event that we need to find replacement third party providers, we may not be able to find suitable replacements providing services to us on comparable terms which may further adversely impact our operations.
