1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 of Select Comfort Corporation and subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation, self-insured liabilities, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents included highly liquid marketable debt securities of $20.0 million and $45.0 million at July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. Marketable debt securities included in cash and cash equivalents have an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Change in Accounting Principle - Cash and Cash Equivalents

At the beginning of 2011, we changed our accounting policy for payments due from financial services companies for credit card and debit card transactions. Historically, at each reporting period, we classified all credit card and debit card transactions that processed in less than seven days as cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets. We now classify these credit card and debit card transactions as accounts receivable until the cash is received. We believe that our new policy is preferable because the presentation (i) more appropriately aligns with our view that these credit card and debit card transactions are not part of our cash management processes (i.e., these receivables are non-interest bearing and are not taken into consideration when making cash management decisions), and (ii) is more consistent with the nature of the credit card and debit card receivables, which are subject to the credit risk of the financial services companies. Our new policy resulted in the adjustment of certain amounts in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. This change in accounting principle had no effect on our previously reported consolidated shareholders’ equity or consolidated net income.

Investments

Our investment portfolio is currently comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. The value of these securities is subject to market and credit volatility during the period these investments are held. We classify marketable debt securities as available-for-sale investments and these securities are stated at their estimated fair value. Our investments with current maturities of greater than three months but less than one year are recorded as marketable debt securities - current. Our investments with current maturities of more than one year are recorded as marketable debt securities – non-current. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss). Other-than-temporary declines in market value from original cost are charged to other expense, net in the period in which the loss occurs, and a new cost basis for the security is established. In determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in the market value has occurred, we consider the duration and extent that the fair value of the investment is below its cost. There were no other-than-temporary declines in market value during the six months ended July 2, 2011.

Realized gains and losses, if any, are calculated on the specific identification method and are measured and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) in the consolidated balance sheet to other expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Subsequent Events

Events that have occurred subsequent to July 2, 2011 have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or for the period ended July 2, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance regarding fair value measurements.  The new guidance changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. As this is a financial statement presentation issue, we do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2012 and is to be applied on a prospective basis.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the presentation of other comprehensive income. The objective of the new guidance is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance does not change the items that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income, but changes the presentation of those items in the consolidated financial statements.  As this is a financial statement presentation issue, we do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2012 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:
 
·
Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
·
Level 2 – inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·
Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

At July 2, 2011, we had $20.0 million of marketable debt securities – current and $20.0 million of marketable debt securities – non-current. These securities are comprised of U. S. Treasury securities and are classified as Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
At July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, we had $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of marketable securities that fund our deferred compensation plan. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $1.2 million and $0.8 million at July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. Substantially all of the marketable securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the marketable securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liabilities.

5. Debt

Credit Agreement

Our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Credit Agreement”) provides a $20.0 million secured revolving credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including up to $10.0 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amounts available under this credit facility. The Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2012.

At July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, $20.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, were available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. As of July 2, 2011, we had no outstanding letters of credit. As of January 1, 2011, we had $3.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Capital Lease Obligations

We entered into a capital lease totaling $0.1 million for certain computer equipment during the six months ended July 2, 2011. We had outstanding capital lease obligations of $0.5 million and $0.7 million at July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. At July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were included in other current liabilities and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

We compensate officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under three stock plans approved by our shareholders in 1997, 2004 and 2010 and administered under the supervision of our Board of Directors. Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. Generally, options vest proportionally over periods of three to four years from the dates of the grant and expire after ten years. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended July 2, 2011, and July 3, 2010, was $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended July 2, 2011, and July 3, 2010, was $2.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Sales Returns

The accrued sales returns estimate is based on historical return rates, which are reasonably consistent from period to period, and is adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. If actual returns vary from expected rates, sales in future periods are adjusted.

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 20-year limited warranty on our adjustable-firmness beds. The customer participates over the last 18 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. Estimated warranty costs are expensed at the time of sale based on historical claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We classify as noncurrent those estimated warranty costs expected to be paid out in greater than one year.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to pending legal proceedings, we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us and we do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

Risk Factors

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included herein. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that relate to future plans, events, financial results or performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these or similar terms. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.

These risks and uncertainties include, among others:

Availability of attractive and cost-effective consumer credit options, including the impact of recent changes in federal law that restrict various forms of consumer credit promotional offerings;
Our ability to execute our retail distribution strategy;
Our ability to continue to improve our product line and service levels, and consumer acceptance of our products, product quality, innovation and brand image;
Our ability to achieve and maintain acceptable levels of product quality and acceptable product return and warranty claims rates;
Pending and potentially unforeseen litigation;
Industry competition and the adequacy of our intellectual property rights to protect our products and brand from competitive or infringing activities;
Our “just-in-time” manufacturing processes with minimal levels of inventory, which may leave us vulnerable to shortages in supply;
Our dependence on significant suppliers and our ability to maintain relationships with key suppliers, including several sole-source suppliers;
Rising commodity costs and other inflationary pressures;
Risks inherent in global sourcing activities;
Risks of disruption in the operation of either of our two manufacturing facilities;
Increasing government regulation, including flammability standards for the bedding industry;
The adequacy of our management information systems to meet the evolving needs of our business and existing and evolving regulatory standards applicable to data privacy and security;
Our ability to attract and retain senior leadership and other key employees, including qualified sales professionals; and
Uncertainties arising from global events, such as terrorist attacks or a pandemic outbreak, or the threat of such events.

Overview

Business Overview

Select Comfort designs, manufactures, markets and supports a line of adjustable-firmness mattresses featuring air-chamber technology. The air-chamber technology of our proprietary Sleep Number® bed allows adjustable firmness on each side of the mattress and provides a sleep surface that is clinically proven to provide better sleep quality and greater relief of back pain compared to traditional mattress products. In addition, we market and sell accessories and other sleep-related products which focus on providing personalized comfort to complement the Sleep Number bed and provide a better night’s sleep for consumers.

We generate revenue by selling our products through two complementary distribution channels. Our company-controlled channel sells directly to consumers through our approximately 375 retail stores located across the United States, direct-marketing operations and E-Commerce site at www.sleepnumber.com. Our wholesale channel sells to and through the QVC shopping channel and wholesale customers in Alaska, Hawaii and Australia.

Mission, Vision and Strategy

Our mission is to improve lives by individualizing sleep experiences. Our vision is to become the new standard in sleep by providing individualized sleep experiences and elevating people’s expectations above the “one-size-fits-all” solution offered by other mattress brands.

We are executing against a defined strategy which focuses on the following key components:

 
Know our customers as no one else can…use that insight to set new standards in end-to-end customer experience;

 
Broaden awareness and consideration…to take share; earn leadership in premium sleep; and

 
Leverage our core business to achieve new levels of margin…to fund acceleration and innovation.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Annual Results

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, the timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, timing of QVC shows, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. As a result, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months ended July 2, 2011 were as follows:

 
Net income increased 82% to $11.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.
 
Net sales increased 16% to $161.5 million, compared with $139.0 million for the same period one year ago, primarily due to a 20% comparable sales increase in our company-controlled channel.
 
Operating income improved to $17.6 million, or 10.9% of net sales, for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $9.9 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The operating income improvement was driven by strong comparable sales growth and efficiency enhancements. Sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, increased by 25% to $1.5 million.
 
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $33.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $28.6 million for the same period one year ago.
 
As of July 2, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $97.6 million compared with $76.0 million at January 1, 2011, and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Comparison of Three Months Ended July 2, 2011 with Three Months Ended July 3, 2010

Net sales
Net sales increased 16% to $161.5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $139.0 million for the same period one year ago. The sales increase was driven by a 20% comparable sales increase in our company-controlled channel. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our wholesale channel sales and a decrease in sales resulting from the year-over-year decline in the number of retail stores we operated. Company-controlled sales of mattress units increased 7% compared to the same period one year ago. Average mattress sales per mattress unit in our company-controlled channel increased by 10%. Sales of other products and services increased by 25%.

The $22.5 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $27.2 million increase in sales from our company-controlled comparable retail stores, partially offset by a $0.9 million sales decrease resulting from the net decline in the number of stores we operated, (ii) a $2.2 million decrease in direct and E-Commerce sales and (iii) a $1.6 million decrease in our wholesale channel sales.

Gross profit
The gross profit rate increased to 63.5% of net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with 62.2% for the prior year period. Approximately 1.4 percentage points (“ppt.”) of the gross profit rate improvement was due to a more profitable promotional sales mix, manufacturing efficiencies, including material cost reductions, selected product price increases and leverage from the higher sales volume.

Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2011 increased 12% to $70.5 million, or 43.7% of net sales, compared with $63.0 million, or 45.3% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $7.5 million increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million, or 25%, increase in media spending and an increase in variable selling expenses due to the higher sales volume, partially offset by a decrease in expenses resulting from the reduction in our store base compared to last year. The sales and marketing expense rate declined 1.6 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact of the 16% net sales increase and expense savings from store closures.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $0.2 million to $13.1 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $12.9 million for the same period one year ago, but decreased to 8.1% of net sales, compared with 9.3% of net sales in the prior year period. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in employee compensation expenses including higher performance-based incentive compensation resulting from continued strong financial performance in the second quarter of 2011, salary and wages increases which were in-line with inflation and increased stock-based compensation expense. The $1.3 million increase was partially offset by the benefit from a $1.1 million reduction to previously recorded contingent liabilities. The G&A expense rate decreased by 1.2 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago, primarily due to the leveraging impact of the 16% net sales increase and the reduction in contingent liabilities.

Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2011 were $1.2 million, or 0.8% of net sales, compared with $0.6 million, or 0.4% of sales for the same period one year ago.  The $0.6 million increase was due to costs incurred in the development of bed model enhancements.

Asset impairment charges
During the three months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized asset impairment charges of $18 thousand related to certain store assets. During the three months ended July 3, 2010, we recognized no asset impairment charges as our quarterly evaluations indicated that the carrying values of our long-lived assets were fully recoverable.

Other expense, net
Other expense, net was $30 thousand for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $56 thousand for the comparable period one-year ago.

Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $3.7 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2011 decreased to 35.8% compared with 37.2% for the prior-year period. The current-year effective tax rate benefited from an increase in the tax deduction related to manufacturing activities.

Comparison of Six Months Ended July 2, 2011 with Six Months Ended July 3, 2010
 
Net sales
Net sales increased 19% to $354.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $296.9 million for the same period one year ago. The sales increase was primarily due to a 23% comparable sales increase in our company-controlled channel. This increase was partially offset by a year-over-year decline in sales due to a reduction in the number of retail stores we operated and a decrease in wholesale channel sales. Company-controlled sales of mattress units increased 10% compared to the same period one year ago. Average mattress sales per mattress unit in our company-controlled channel increased by 9%. Sales of other products and services increased by 27%.
 
The $57.6 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $64.5 million increase in sales from our company-controlled comparable retail stores, partially offset by a $2.9 million sales decrease resulting from the net decline in the number of stores we operated, (ii) a $2.7 million decrease in direct and E-Commerce sales and (iii) a $1.3 million decrease in the wholesale channel sales.
 
Gross profit
The gross profit rate improved to 63.6% of net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with 62.2% for the prior year period. Approximately 1.5 ppt. of the gross profit rate improvement was due to manufacturing efficiencies, including material cost reductions, a more profitable promotional sales mix, selected product price increases and leverage from the higher sales volume.
 
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2011 increased 13% to $150.8 million, or 42.5% of net sales, compared with $133.1 million, or 44.8% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $17.7 million increase was primarily due to a $9.4 million, or 27%, increase in media spending and an increase in variable selling expenses due to the higher sales volume, partially offset by a decrease in expenses resulting from the reduction in our store base. The sales and marketing expense rate declined 2.3 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact of the 19% net sales increase and expense savings from store closures.

General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased to $28.7 million, or 8.1% of net sales, for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $26.1 million, or 8.8% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $2.6 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in employee compensation expenses including higher performance-based incentive compensation resulting from strong financial performance during the first six months of 2011, salary and wages increases which were in-line with inflation and increased stock-based compensation expense. The $3.0 million increase was partially offset by the benefit from a $1.1 million reduction to previously recorded contingent liabilities. The G&A expense rate decreased by 0.7 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago, primarily due to the leveraging impact of the 19% net sales increase and the reduction in contingent liabilities.
 
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2011 were $2.0 million, or 0.6% of net sales, compared with $1.3 million, or 0.4% of sales for the same period one year ago. The $0.7 million increase was due to costs incurred in the development of bed model enhancements.

Asset impairment charges
During the six months ended July 2, 2011, we recognized impairment charges of $0.1 million related to production machinery, computer equipment and certain store assets. During the six months ended July 3, 2010, we recognized no asset impairment charges as our quarterly evaluations indicated that the carrying values of our long-lived assets were fully recoverable.
 
Other expense, net
Other expense, net was $0.1 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $1.8 million for the same period one year ago. Other expense, net for the six months ended July 3, 2010 included a $1.1 million write-off of unamortized debt costs as we entered into a new credit agreement on March 26, 2010 and terminated our prior credit agreement. The remaining reduction is primarily due to lower debt amortization costs associated with our current credit agreement as compared with our prior credit agreement.
 
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $16.1 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with $8.4 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2011 decreased to 36.6% compared with 37.5% for the prior-year period. The current-year effective tax rate benefited from an increase in the tax deduction related to manufacturing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 2, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $57.6 million compared with $76.0 million as of January 1, 2011. The $18.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $52.2 million of cash used in investing activities, including a $40.0 million investment in marketable debt securities offset by $33.7 million of cash provided by operating activities.

Effective in the first quarter of 2011, we changed our accounting policy for payments due from financial services companies for credit card and debit card transactions. Historically, at each reporting period, we classified all credit card and debit card transactions that processed in less than seven days as cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets. We now classify these credit card and debit card transactions as accounts receivable until the cash is received. We believe that our new policy is preferable because the presentation (i) more appropriately aligns with our view that these credit card and debit card receivables are not part of our cash management processes (i.e., these receivables are non-interest bearing and are not taken into consideration when making cash management decisions), and (ii) is more consistent with the nature of the credit card and debit card receivables, which are subject to the credit risk of the financial services companies. Our new policy resulted in the adjustment of certain amounts in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. This change in accounting principle had no effect on our previously reported consolidated shareholders’ equity or consolidated net income. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for further information and a summary of the effect of the adjustments on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows presented in this Form 10-Q.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, and July 3, 2010 (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

Financing activities
    0.2       (2.1 )
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (18.4 )   $ 24.8  

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 2, 2011 was $33.7 million compared with $28.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010. The $5.1 million year-over-year increase in cash from operating activities was comprised of the $13.9 million improvement in our net income compared with the same period one year ago and a $3.1 million increase in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by an $11.9 million decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $3.1 million increase from reconciling adjustments was primarily due to changes in deferred income taxes resulting from accelerated tax depreciation in accordance with recent federal tax legislation, partially offset by decreased depreciation and amortization due primarily to the write-off of unamortized debt costs related to our prior credit agreement in the first quarter of 2010. The $11.9 million decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities was mainly due to the payment of prior year performance-based incentive compensation in the first quarter of 2011 and timing of payments and receipts.

Investing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2011 included a $40.0 million investment in marketable debt securities (U.S. treasury securities). Property and equipment purchases for the six months ended July 2, 2011 increased to $9.6 million, compared with $1.7 million for the same period one year ago. Capital expenditures, primarily for new and remodeled retail stores and investments in information technology, are projected to be approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million in 2011 compared with $7.3 million in 2010. After netting planned store openings and closings, we expect to end fiscal 2011 with approximately 380 stores. In addition, during the current year we replaced an outstanding letter of credit held by our workers’ compensation insurance carrier with a $2.7 million restricted cash deposit.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $2.1 million for the same period one year ago. Book overdrafts and payments on capital lease obligations are included in the net change in short-term borrowings.

As of July 2, 2011, the remaining authorization under our stock repurchase program was $206.8 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. We continue to focus on strengthening our financial position.

Our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Credit Agreement”) provides a $20.0 million secured revolving credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including up to $10.0 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amounts available under this credit facility. The Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2012. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum net worth requirements, and maintenance of an aggregate principal balance of zero under the Credit Agreement for a period of not less than 30 consecutive days in each fiscal year. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in our assets and those of our domestic subsidiaries.

At July 2, 2011, and January 1, 2011, $20.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, were available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. As of July 2, 2011, we had no outstanding letters of credit. As of January 1, 2011, we had $3.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Our $97.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our credit facility are expected to provide sufficient operating liquidity and funding for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. In addition, our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require significant additional capital to fund operations or organic growth.
 
We have an agreement with GE Money Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (“GE Agreement”). The GE Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement and a minimum cash requirement. As of July 2, 2011 we remained in compliance with all financial covenants.

Non-GAAP Financial Data

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we are also providing non-GAAP financial data that we believe enhances the understanding of our ongoing operations and financial liquidity. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or preferable to GAAP financial data. We have provided reconciliations from our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as net income plus: income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments consistent with the definition used in our debt covenant calculations. Management believes EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance. Our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconcile EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

The following table summarizes our EBITDA calculations for the three months and trailing-twelve months ended July 2, 2011, and July 3, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
 
We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships. As of July 2, 2011, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our operating leases, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing. There were no outstanding letters of credit at July 2, 2011.
 
There has been no material change in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2010. See Note 5, Debt, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement and capital lease obligations. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 for additional information regarding our other contractual obligations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2010.

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities as of July 2, 2011. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

At July 2, 2011, we had no short-term borrowings. We have not historically managed interest rate risk on our debt through the use of derivative instruments.

Any borrowings under our revolving credit facility are currently not subject to material interest rate risk. The credit facility’s interest rate may be reset due to fluctuations in a market-based index, such as the prime rate or LIBOR.


Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to pending legal proceedings, we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us and we do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

Our business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to our business and others that affect all businesses operating in a global environment. Investors should carefully consider the information in this report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and also the information under the heading, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
