A. T. CROSS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 2, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 2, 2011, the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010. The results of operations for the six-month period ended July 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated to the date of issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011, which includes consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended January 1, 2011, January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009. The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the last Saturday closest to December 31, and consists of 13 week fiscal quarters.

NOTE C - Income Taxes
In the first six months of 2011 the effective tax rate was 32.6%. In the first six months of 2010 the effective tax rate was 28.3%. The increase is the result of the expiration of a tax holiday in China effective January 1, 2011 and a shift in the percentage of forecasted profitability to tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
NOTE D - Segment Information
The Company has two reportable business segments: Cross Accessory Division ("CAD") and Cross Optical Group ("COG"). The Company evaluates segment performance based upon operating profit or loss. Following is the segment information for the Company:

CAD's accessories are sold with a one-year warranty against mechanical failure and defects in workmanship and timepieces are warranted for a period of two years. Costa and Native sunglasses are sold with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale. The most significant factors in the estimation of warranty cost liabilities include the operating efficiency and related cost of the service department, unit sales and the number of units that are eventually returned for warranty repair. The current portions of accrued warranty costs were $0.4 million at July 2, 2011 and $0.6 million January 1, 2011, and were recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The COG segment revised their estimate of warranty liabilities in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 due to changes in estimates and assumptions. The following chart reflects the activity in aggregate accrued warranty costs:

NOTE F - Line of Credit
In 2010, the Company amended and restated its secured revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”), increasing it from $35 million to $40 million. Under the amended and restated line of credit agreement, the Bank agreed to make loans to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40.0 million, including up to $10.0 million equivalent in Eurocurrency loans denominated in pounds sterling or Euro (“Eurocurrency Loans”) and up to $30.0 million of other committed loans to the Company (“Committed Loans”) at any time. As part of the aggregate availability, the Bank may also issue up to $7.5 million in letters of credit. Subject to the limits on availability and the other terms and conditions of this credit agreement, amounts may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed without penalty. This amended credit facility matures and amounts outstanding must be paid by July 28, 2013.
The interest rate for the Committed Loans will be, at the Company's option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or the Bank's prime rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate for any Eurocurrency Loans will be an interest settlement rate for deposits in pounds sterling or Euro plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR and Eurocurrency loans will be an amount between 1.75% and 2.25%, and the applicable margin for federal funds or the Bank's prime rate will be an amount between 0.25% and 0.75%, which will vary from time to time based upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio.
Under the line of credit agreement, the Company has agreed to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants. The most restrictive covenant requires the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA over any four-quarter period. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, computed at each year end, a maximum level of capital expenditures, each of which is calculated in accordance with the agreement. Amounts due under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company. Amounts due are also secured by a pledge of the assets of the Company and those of certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
At July 2, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Company's amended line of credit was $21.2 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 1.9%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the amended agreement, was $18.8 million. At January 1, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Company's amended line of credit was $19.2 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 2.0%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the amended agreement, was $20.8 million.

The Company contributed $2.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the first quarter of 2011. The Company expects to contribute $6.1 million in total to its defined benefit pension plans in 2011, $2.1 million to meet minimum required contributions and $4.0 million as an additional voluntary contribution. With this additional voluntary contribution, the Company expects its defined benefit pension plans will be approximately 90% funded by the end of fiscal 2012. The Company expects to contribute $0.8 million to its defined contribution retirement plans and $0.2 million to its excess benefit plan in 2011.
NOTE H - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests, more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in their fair value. The Company has identified two reporting units, consisting of the CAD and COG segments. The Company performs the assessments annually during the fourth quarter or on an interim basis if potential impairment indicators arise. The fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is determined using established income and market valuation approaches and the fair value of other indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of two COG segment trade names, is determined using a forward relief from royalty method. For further discussion about impairment analysis, see the "Impairment Analysis" section of Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011.
At July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the approximate $15.3 million carrying value of goodwill, $11.9 million of which is expected to be tax deductible, related entirely to the COG segment. Other intangibles consisted of the following:

NOTE I - Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign exchange and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. Gains or losses from derivatives used to manage foreign exchange are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income. For fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. As a result, any change in the value of the derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings impact occur when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. Ineffectiveness of the Company's hedges is not material. If the derivative instrument is terminated, the Company continues to defer the related gain or loss and include it as a component of the cost of the underlying hedged item. Upon determination that the underlying hedged item will not be part of an actual transaction, the Company recognizes the related gain or loss in the statement of income immediately.
The Company also uses derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company accounts for such derivatives at market value with the resulting gains and losses reflected in the statements of income.
The Company enters into arrangements with individual counterparties that it believes are creditworthy and generally settles such arrangements on a net basis. In addition, the Company performs a quarterly assessment of counterparty credit risk, including a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty. Based on the most recent quarterly assessment of counterparty credit risk, the Company considers this risk to be low.
Foreign Exchange
The Company enters into derivatives, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts with terms of no more than one year, to manage risk associated with exposure to certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions, primarily intercompany accounts receivable. Gains or losses resulting from the translation of certain foreign currency balance sheet positions are recognized in the statement of income as incurred. Foreign currency derivatives had a total notional value of $32.5 million as of July 2, 2011 and $28.5 million as of January 1, 2011. Gains and losses on the derivatives were generally offset by changes in U.S. dollar value of the underlying hedged items.
Interest Rates
In the third quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $15.0 million and a term of three years. This swap effectively fixes the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s line of credit at approximately 1.2%. The item being hedged is the first interest payment to be made on $15.0 million of principal expected to occur each month beginning March 31, 2011. The Company measures hedge ineffectiveness using the “hypothetical” derivative method. This swap has been designated a cash flow hedge and the effect of the mark-to-market valuation is recorded as an adjustment, net of tax, to accumulated other comprehensive loss. From inception to July 2, 2011, the effect of the mark-to-market valuation, net of tax, was not material and was included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
Level 2
|
Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTE J - Short-Term Investments
At July 2, 2011, the Company had short-term investments of $0.6 million classified as trading securities. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on these short-term investments are included in other income. The amount of unrealized loss on these short-term investments was not material at July 2, 2011.
NOTE K - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company was named as one of approximately ninety defendants in a contribution suit brought by CCL/Unilever relating to the J.M. Mills Landfill Site (the “Site”), which is part of the Peterson/Puritan Superfund Site in Cumberland, Rhode Island. These complaints alleged that the Company was liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") for contribution for Site investigation costs. The Company has reached settlement of the case and paid a settlement amount of approximately $0.2 million in 2010.
The Company expects that the Federal Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") will select a remedy for the Site in 2011. At that time, the EPA will initiate an administrative process (the "Special Notice Process") pursuant to CERCLA whereby the EPA will request that those entities that the EPA contends arranged for the disposal of hazardous materials at the Site (the PRPs), undertake the selected remedy at the Site. The EPA contends that the Company is a PRP at the Site. During the Special Notice Process, the Company and the other PRPs will engage in negotiations with the EPA regarding the remedy, and among themselves regarding the contribution of each PRP to overall remediation costs. Neither the cost of the remedy nor the identity of all PRPs is known at this time. Therefore it is not possible to assess the outcome of the Special Notice Process as it may relate to the Company's contribution to remediation costs.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) has asserted that it believes that the Company has had a triggering event under Section 4062(e) of ERISA, which, had such an event occurred, would lead to an acceleration of funding contributions to the Company’s defined benefit plan in the amount of $11.9 million. The PBGC has indicated that such contributions, if required, could be satisfied over a period of several years via a variety of funding alternatives. Specifically, during 2010, the PBGC asserted that the Company closed a facility in the USA when it completed the transfer of a significant portion of its manufacturing operations offshore. The Company maintains that the facility did not close, and therefore no triggering event occurred. Currently, the Company employs approximately 170 employees in the facility at issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company intends to ensure that its defined benefit plan remains viable and healthy and intends to continue to make all legally required contributions under the plan. Ongoing communications continue between the Company and PBGC. The Company further believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet any required contributions to the Plan, up to and including the $11.9 million.
The Company is involved in various other litigation and legal matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. To its knowledge, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any of those existing matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Consolidated operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $22.5 million, or 47.2% of sales, as compared to $20.0 million, or 47.9% of sales a year ago, a decrease of 70 basis points. The CAD segment operating expenses were 8.8% higher than the prior year’s second quarter. The COG segment operating expenses were 19.0% higher than last year. These increases were directly related to the higher sales volume.
In the second quarter of 2011, the effective tax rate was 32.6%. In the second quarter of 2010, the effective tax rate was 28.2%. The increase is the result of the expiration of a tax holiday in China effective January 1, 2011 and a shift in the percentage of forecasted profitability to tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Results of Operations Six Months Ended July 2, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended July 3, 2010
In the first six months of 2011, the Company reported net income of $4.4 million, or $0.36 per basic and $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.22 per basic share and $0.21 diluted share in the first six months of 2010.
The following chart details net sales performance:
Consolidated net sales were $87.6 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $76.1 million in the first six months of 2010. The effect of foreign exchange was favorable to consolidated 2011 sales results by approximately $1.5 million, or 1.9 percentage points.
CAD sales increased 9.0% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. This growth was across every region and among Distributors and Retailers as they are seeing positive sell through this year compared to last. Business Gift Channel sales also improved as businesses are reinstating gift programs that were put on hold during the recession. COG grew by 22.5%, led by the Costa brand which increased 27.2% compared to the prior year first six months.
The following chart details gross profit margins for both segments as well as the consolidated gross profit margins:
Consolidated gross margins were 57.7% in the first six months of 2011, 70 basis points improved from the same period last year. CAD gross margins improved in the first six months of 2011 to 55.9%, 20 basis points higher than 2010. COG margins in the first six months of 2011 were 59.7%, above last year by 90 basis points.
Consolidated operating expenses for the first six months of 2011 were $43.6 million, or 49.9% of sales, as compared to $39.0 million, or 51.2% of sales a year ago, a decrease of 130 basis points. The CAD segment operating expenses were 7.7% higher than the prior year’s first six months. The COG segment operating expenses were 19.4% higher than last year. These increases were directly related to the higher sales volume.
In the first six months of 2011 the effective tax rate was 32.6%. In the first six months of 2010 the effective tax rate was 28.3%. The increase is the result of the expiration of a tax holiday in China effective January 1, 2011 and a shift in the percentage of forecasted profitability to tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Historically, the Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources have been its cash and cash equivalents (“cash”), short-term investments, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Company's line of credit. These sources have been sufficient in the past to support the Company's routine operating requirements, capital projects, contributions to the retirement plans, stock repurchase programs and debt service. The Company expects its future cash needs in 2011 will be met by these historical sources of liquidity and capital.
The Company's cash and short-term investment balance of $13.4 million at July 2, 2011 decreased $5.8 million from January 1, 2011. The most significant factors affecting the Company's cash balance are discussed in this section.
Inventory was $41.8 million at July 2, 2011, an increase of $10.5 million since January 1, 2011. CAD inventory increased $6.9 million and COG inventory levels increased by $3.6 million from year end 2010. The increase in CAD segment inventory was to support anticipated higher sales volumes, product cost inflation and changes in distribution. The increase in COG inventory was to support anticipated higher sales volumes from new product offerings.
The Company contributed $2.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the first quarter of 2011. The Company expects to contribute $6.1 million in total to its defined benefit pension plans in 2011, $2.1 million to meet minimum required contributions and $4.0 million as an additional voluntary contribution. With this additional voluntary contribution, the Company expects its defined benefit pension plans will be approximately 90% funded by the end of fiscal 2012. The Company expects to contribute $0.8 million to its defined contribution retirement plans and $0.2 million to its excess benefit plan in 2011.
As part of the acquisition of Native Eyewear, the Company assumed the liability of future payments associated with a "settlement in lieu of future royalties." The payments are $0.2 million annually each January through 2012.
The Company has a $40 million secured line of credit with a bank. Under this agreement, the Company has the option to borrow at various interest rates depending upon the type of borrowings made and the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. At July 2, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Company's amended line of credit was $21.2 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 1.9%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the amended agreement, was $18.8 million. At January 1, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Company's amended line of credit was $19.2 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 2.0%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the amended agreement, was $20.8 million. The Company was in compliance with its various debt covenants as of July 2, 2011. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, computed at each year end, a maximum level of capital expenditures and a minimum ratio of adjusted EBITDA to required debt service payments over any four-quarter period, each of which is calculated in accordance with the agreement:

The Company believes that existing cash and cash provided by operations, supplemented as appropriate by the Company's borrowing arrangements, will be adequate to finance its foreseeable operating and capital requirements, the stock repurchase plan and contributions to the retirement plans. Should operating cash flows in 2011 not materialize as projected, the Company has a number of planned alternatives to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to meet its operating needs. These alternatives include implementation of strict cost controls on discretionary spending and delaying non-critical research and development, capital projects and completion of the stock repurchase plan.
At July 2, 2011, cash and short-term investments available for domestic operations was approximately $7.7 million, while cash held offshore was approximately $5.7 million.
