NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 25, 2006. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 3, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 3, 2006 and February 25, 2006, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 3, 2006 and May 28, 2005. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to February 28. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November. The period ended June 3, 2006 consisted of 14 weeks, while the period ended May 28, 2005 consisted of 13 weeks.

The Company restated its fiscal 2006 consolidated statement of cash flows to separately disclose the operating, investing and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to discontinued operations, which in prior periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Inventory Pricing. SFAS No. 151 requires all companies to recognize a current-period charge for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials. The statement also requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

During December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005 (as delayed by the Securities and Exchange Commission). Effective February 26, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognized $0.6 million of incremental compensation expense for the 14 weeks ended June 3, 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated. See Note 3 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provide for the issuance of 1,800,000 and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation while the 1987 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of 2,500,000 options to purchase Company stock (the Plans). On June 28, 2006, the shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares for issuance under the plan to 3,400,000. Awards under these Plans, either in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights, are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. Nonvested share awards are also included in these Plans. Outstanding options issued to employees generally vest over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vest over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to directors vest at the end of six months. Outstanding options and SARs have a 10-year term. Nonvested share awards generally vest over a three or four-year period. The 1987 Stock

Table of Contents

Option Plan expired by its terms in 1997, and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under either plan, although vesting and exercises of options and vesting of nonvested share awards previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the vesting periods of the various grants.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 under the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123R eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that the fair value of all share-based transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements. Under the modified prospective transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 3, 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense estimated for the period for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of February 25, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and (b) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to February 25, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R estimated for the period. Total stock-based compensation expense included in the results of operations for the three months ended June 3, 2006 and May 28, 2005, was $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R, financial results for the prior period have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on February 26, 2006, the Company’s earnings before income tax expense and net earnings for the three months ended June 3, 2006, were $0.6 million and $0.4 million lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25. If the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123R, its basic and diluted earnings per share would have been increased by $0.01. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company also reclassified unearned compensation for nonvested share awards of $4.7 million into additional paid-in capital. The cumulative effect adjustment for forfeitures related to nonvested share awards was not material.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company reported all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in its consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, for the three months ended June 3, 2006, the Company revised its statement of cash flows presentation to report the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows. For the three months ended June 3, 2006, $0.3 million of excess tax benefits were reported as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $2.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 3, 2006 and May 28, 2005, respectively.

The following table shows the effect of net earnings and per share data had the Company applied the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation during the three-month period ended May 28, 2005.

The weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant for options granted in the first quarters of fiscal 2007 and 2006 was $6.56 and $6.63, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the option on the date of grant) exercised during the three months ended June 3, 2006 and May 28, 2005 was $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants through the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In fiscal 2006, the Company implemented a new executive compensation program (the “New Program”). The New Program provides for a greater portion of total compensation to be delivered to key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors through long-term incentives using performance shares and SARs. Performance shares are issued at the beginning of each fiscal year in the form of nonvested share awards. The number of shares issued at grant is equal to the target number of performance shares and allows for the right to receive an additional number of shares based on meeting pre-determined Company performance goals.

The following table summarizes the nonvested share award transactions, including performance shares, under the Plans for the three months ended June 3, 2006:

At June 3, 2006, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 46 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the current period was $0.5 million.

(PPG) combined their U.S. automotive replacement glass (ARG) distribution businesses into a joint venture, PPG Auto Glass, LLC (PPG Auto Glass), of which the Company has a 34 percent interest. The Company’s investment in PPG Auto Glass was $17.6 million and $17.7 million at June 3, 2006 and February 25, 2006, respectively. At June 3, 2006 and February 25, 2006, the excess of the cost of the investment over the value of the underlying net tangible assets when the joint venture was formed was $7.3 million. This excess is reported as goodwill.

In connection with the formation of PPG Auto Glass, the Company agreed to a supply agreement to supply the joint venture, through PPG, with most of the Company’s windshield fabrication capacity at agreed upon terms and conditions. The Company’s windshield supply agreement with PPG expired in July 2005 during the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company continues to transition the Auto Glass segment to focus on selling ARG to wholesalers and distributors, including PPG, following the termination of this supply agreement and continues to focus on the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket recreational vehicle and bus windshield markets.

The Company entered into a short-term loan agreement to provide PPG Auto Glass with a $5.0 million working capital loan during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The terms of the note receivable are considered arms’-length, and the note matures on July 26, 2006. The note receivable is included in receivables in the consolidated balance sheets and was $3.8 million and $5.0 million at June 3, 2006 and February 25, 2006, respectively.

In addition to the above investment, the Company has other equity-method investments totaling $0.3 million at both June 3, 2006 and February 25, 2006.

 

7. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, attributable to each business segment for the three months ended June 3, 2006 is detailed below. “Corporate and Other” includes the excess of the cost of the investment over the value of the underlying net tangible assets related to the formation of the PPG Auto Glass joint venture.

8. Realignment of Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company initiated a realignment of its window and curtainwall manufacturing operation to better serve the architectural glass products market and incurred $0.2 million related to severance costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The costs incurred were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated results of operations.

 

9. Long-Term Debt

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company entered into a five-year, unsecured, revolving credit facility, which expires in May 2010 in the amount of $100.0 million, with a $75.0 million optional expansion feature. Borrowings of $51.5 million were outstanding as of June 3, 2006. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 3, 2006 was $167.2 million, whereas the Company’ actual net worth as defined in the credit facility was $205.4 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain a debt-to-cash flow ratio of no more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily, with cash flow computed on a rolling 12-month basis. The Company’s ratio was 1.11 at June 3, 2006. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lender may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 3, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the credit facility. Long-term debt also includes $8.4 million of industrial development bonds that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2023.

11. Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, the Company completed the sale of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of it’s detention/security business and its exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining cash expenditures related to these discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and a majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to discontinued operations is expected to be paid within the next three years. The majority of these liabilities relate to the international curtainwall operations, including performance bonds outstanding, of which the precise degree of liability related to these matters will not be known until they are settled within the U.K. and French courts. The reserve for discontinued operations also covers other liability issues, consisting of warranty issues relating to these and other international construction projects.

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our installation business, we are required to commit to bonds that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of the bonds fluctuates with the value of projects that are in process and in our backlog. At June 3, 2006, these bonds totaled $139.4 million. With respect to our current portfolio of businesses, we have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds.

Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when incurred. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Highlights of First Quarter Fiscal 2007 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2006

 

    Consolidated net sales increased 18.8 percent, or $30.9 million, during the first quarter ended June 3, 2006 compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to:

 

    increased architectural glass volume and pricing within our architectural segment businesses as well as job flow in the installation business, and

 

    the impact of the extra week in the current quarter which increased net sales by 7.7 percent.

 

    Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 17.1 percent from 18.2 percent in the prior-year period primarily as a result of:

 

    increases in health insurance costs as a result of higher than expected utilization and a higher level of high-dollar claims, which reduced margins by 0.6 percent, and

 

    an unfavorable shift in mix of value-added picture framing glass within the large-scale optical segment.

 

13


Table of Contents
    These reductions in margin were offset, in part, by increased pricing in the architectural segment.

 

    Although selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased as a percent of net sales to 13.0 percent from 14.4 percent in the prior-year period, the total expended increased by $1.7 million. The increase in SG&A expenses for the first quarter ended June 3, 2006 compared to the prior-year period relates primarily to the impact of higher salaries, wages and stock-based compensation, offset by a net gain on asset dispositions within the architectural segment.

 

    Equity in affiliated companies, which includes our 34 percent interest in PPG Auto Glass, LLC, an automotive replacement glass distribution business, incurred a loss of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to income of $0.2 million in the prior year period, due primarily to lower pricing in the automotive replacement glass market and acquisition integration costs.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Architectural Products and Services (Architectural)

 

    First quarter net sales of $165.3 million increased 22.6 percent as a result of increased architectural glass volume and pricing, and job flow in the installation business. Approximately one-third of the growth in net sales was due to the extra week in the current period. The volume and pricing improvements are primarily the result of the strength in the commercial construction markets as well as gained market share.

 

    Operating income of $5.6 million in the current quarter increased 54.4 percent over the prior-year period as a result of higher volume, improved pricing and manufacturing operations improvements. This increase was partially offset by the higher health care costs referenced earlier. The current year period also includes a net gain on disposition of assets of $0.4 million. Operating margin of 3.4 percent was up compared to 2.7 percent in the prior year.

 

    Architectural backlog at June 3, 2006 increased to $360 million from $235 million in the prior-year period and $321 million at fiscal 2006 year-end. The first quarter backlog increases came from our architectural glass and glass installation businesses, and we continue to see strong bidding activity throughout the segment. We expect approximately $280 million of this backlog to flow during the remainder of the current year.

Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)

 

    First quarter revenues were $21.8 million, up 4.8 percent over the strong prior-year period. Increased volume of value-added glass products and consumer electronics as a result of the extra week in the current-year period was partially offset by a less favorable mix of value-added glass products and lower pre-framed art sales.

 

    Operating income of $3.1 million was up slightly from the prior-year period. Operating margin of 14.4 percent was down from 14.8 percent in the prior year as a result of the less favorable value-added glass product sales mix.

Automotive Replacement Glass and Services (Auto Glass)

 

    First quarter revenues of $8.1 million were down 6.3 percent from the prior-year period as a result of lower volume.

 

14


Table of Contents
    Operating loss of $0.2 million was down from operating income of $0.1 million reported in the prior-year period also as a result of lower volume.

Consolidated Backlog

 

    At June 3, 2006, our consolidated backlog was $366.7 million, up 11.6 percent from the $328.7 million reported at February 25, 2006, and up 48.3 percent from the prior-year period.

 

    The backlog of the Architectural segment represented 98.3 percent of the Company’s consolidated backlog.

 

    The Company views backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in its business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of the ultimate profitability of the Company’s sales, the Company does not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $8.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to cash used of $6.9 million in the prior-year period. The current quarter use of cash was driven primarily by payments made to fund annual incentive and retirement plans, which is consistent with prior periods. Additionally, increased business activity resulted in higher levels of working capital, which negatively impacted cash during the period. The increase in business activity was greater in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period, which resulted in a higher use of cash.

Investing Activities. Through the first quarter of fiscal 2007, investing activities used $2.7 million of cash, compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year. New capital investments through the first quarter of fiscal 2007 totaled $7.9 million, including spending for our new architectural glass fabrication plant in St. George, Utah; this compares to $5.1 million in the prior-year period. The net position of investments in our captive insurance company resulted in $2.4 million of proceeds versus $0.3 million in purchases in the prior year.

In fiscal 2007, we expect to incur capital expenditures for the continuing construction of our new St. George, Utah architectural glass fabrication plant and other architectural glass upgrades, and LSO capacity improvements as well as costs as necessary to maintain existing facilities, safety and information systems. Fiscal 2007 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $40 to $45 million.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses and further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings increased to $59.9 million at June 3, 2006 from the $45.2 million outstanding at February 25, 2006, due to capital expenditures and funding for working capital needs. The majority of our long-term debt, $51.5 million, consisted of bank borrowings under our $100.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility. We paid $3.6 million in dividends for the current year and $1.7 million in the prior-year three-month period. This increase was due to the timing of historical quarterly dividend payments whereby two were paid in the current quarter. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 22.6 percent at June 3, 2006, up from 18.5 percent at February 25, 2006.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices. We repurchased 285,324 shares under this program, for a total of $3.2 million through February 26, 2005. In fiscal 2006, we repurchased an additional 250,000 shares for $4.0 million. No share repurchases were made during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We have purchased a total of 535,324 shares at a total cost of $7.2 million since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 964,676 shares under this program, although we do not expect to repurchase any shares during the remainder of fiscal 2007.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we entered into a five-year, unsecured, revolving credit facility, which expires in May 2010 in the amount of $100.0 million, with a $75.0 million optional expansion feature. Borrowings of $51.5 million were outstanding as of June 3, 2006. The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 3, 2006 was $167.2 million, whereas our actual net worth as defined in the credit facility was $205.4 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain a debt-to-cash flow ratio of no more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily, with cash flow computed on a rolling 12-month basis. Our ratio was 1.11 at June 3, 2006. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lender may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 3, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the credit facility.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

The other obligations relate to non-compete and consulting agreements with current and former employees.

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which are predominantly issued for performance related bonds in our discontinued European curtainwall business, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to commit to bonds that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of the bonds fluctuates with the value of projects that are in process and in our backlog. At June 3, 2006, these bonds totaled $139.4 million. With respect to our current portfolio of businesses, we have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds.

The Company maintains an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts $15.0 million of variable rate borrowings into fixed rate obligations. The notional value of the swap decreases from $15.0 million at June 3, 2006 to $4.5 million at the expiration date of March 29, 2008. We receive payments at variable rates while making payments at a fixed rate of 5.01 percent.

We experienced a material increase in our premiums and risk retention for our first-party product liability coverages in fiscal 2003, and although we have been able to continue these coverages through fiscal 2007, the premiums and retention have remained high. A material construction project rework event would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

For fiscal 2007, we believe that current cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility should be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005 (as delayed by the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Effective February 26, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, we recognized $0.6 million of incremental compensation expense for the 14 weeks ended June 3, 2006, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated results of operations. For additional information on the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, see Note 3, Stock-Based Compensation, of the notes to consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations for full-year fiscal 2007 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

 

    Overall revenues for the year are expected to increase 11 to 15 percent compared to fiscal 2006.

 

    Architectural segment revenues are expected to increase 14 to 18 percent during the year due to market improvement and some market share gain despite some capacity constraints.

 

    LSO segment revenues are expected to be flat to slightly down.

 

    Auto Glass segment revenues are expected to be flat compared to fiscal 2006.

 

    Annual gross margins are expected to be down slightly versus the prior year as pricing, operational improvements and cost reductions are offset by higher costs for health care, wages, energy, materials and freight. Our margins also include approximately $2 million from an anticipated class action lawsuit settlement with a flat glass manufacturer.

 

    SG&A expenses as a percent of sales are projected to be approximately 13.5 percent, which includes the impact of expensing stock options somewhat offset by the net gain on asset dispositions in the first quarter.

 

    Expected annual operating margins by segment are: Architectural, approximately 4.5 to 4.7 percent; LSO, 11 to 12 percent; and Auto Glass, approximately break-even.

 

    Equity in affiliates, which reflects our portion of the results of the PPG Auto Glass joint venture, is expected to report earnings of approximately $3.0 million.

 

    Full-year capital expenditures are projected at $40 to $45 million, including an estimated $25 million related to construction of the new architectural glass fabrication plant.

 

    Depreciation and amortization are estimated at $20 million for the year.

 

    Debt is expected to be approximately $50 to $60 million at fiscal year-end, which reflects borrowings for the new architectural glass fabrication plant.

 

    The effective tax rate for the full year is anticipated to be approximately 35 percent.

 

    Earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to range from $0.88 to $0.94 for the full year, including the $0.05 per share impact of expensing stock options.

Related Party Transactions

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure with respect to our related party transactions set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

No material changes have occurred in the disclosure with respect to our critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

  a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and

     operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  b) Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 3, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s construction supply businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company has also been subject to litigation arising out of employment practice, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
