CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
(1) |
|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
Basis of Presentation -
CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, CSS or the Company) has prepared
the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include
all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Nature of Business -
CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement,
distribution and sale of seasonal and all occasion products, principally to mass market
retailers. These products include gift wrap, gift bags, gift boxes, boxed greeting cards, gift
tags, decorative tissue paper, decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons
and bows, Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties, and
craft and educational products. The seasonal nature of CSS business has historically resulted
in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively
higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Companys
fiscal year which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly
results of operations of the Company.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions -
Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders equity.
Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in other
income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required
in applying the Companys accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to the
valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill
and other intangible assets, income tax accounting, the valuation of share-based awards and
resolution of
litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
6
Inventories -
The Company records inventory at the date of taking title, which occurs upon receipt or prior to
receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving
inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Companys inventories
are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of
the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories
consisted of the following (in thousands):

Assets Held for Sale -
Assets held for sale in the amount of $2,564,000 represents two former manufacturing facilities
which the Company is in the process of selling. The Company expects to sell these facilities
within the next 12 months for an amount greater than the current carrying value. The Company
ceased depreciating these facilities at the time they were classified as held for sale.
Revenue Recognition -
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped, title and risk of
loss have been transferred to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for
returns, allowances, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided in the same period
that the related sales are recorded.
Net Income Per Common Share -
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per share data):

Statements of Cash Flows -

highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity at time of purchase of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: |
Under the terms of the 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (2004 Plan), the Human Resources
Committee (Committee) of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses
and other awards to officers and other employees. Grants under the 2004 Plan may be made
through August 3, 2014. The term of each grant is at the discretion of the Committee, but in no
event greater than ten years from the date of grant. The Committee has discretion to determine
the date or dates on which granted options become exercisable. All options outstanding as of
June 30, 2007 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date
of grant. At June 30, 2007, options to acquire 1,207,375 shares were available for grant under
the 2004 Plan.
Under the terms of the CSS Industries, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(2006 Plan), non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock are
available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2006 Plan, options to
purchase 4,000 shares of the Companys common stock will be granted automatically to each
non-employee director on the last day that the Companys common stock is traded in each November
until 2010. Each option will expire five years after the date the option is granted and
commencing one year after the date of grant, options begin vesting and are exercisable at the
rate of 25% per year. At June 30, 2007, options to acquire 180,000 shares were available for
grant under the 2006 Plan.
Compensation cost related to stock options recognized in operating results (included in selling,
general and administrative expenses) was $681,000 and $744,000 in the three months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: |
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to reduce the impact of
certain foreign currency fluctuations. Firmly committed transactions and the related
receivables and payables may be hedged with forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses
arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in income or expense as offsets
of gains and losses resulting from the underlying hedged transactions. As of June 30, 2007, the
notional amount of open foreign currency forward contracts was $8,983,000 and the related
unrealized loss was $306,000. As of March 31, 2007, the notional amount of open foreign
currency forward contracts was $294,000 and the related unrealized gain was immaterial.

BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING: |
On November 27, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan to
combine the operations of its Cleo Inc (Cleo) and Berwick Offray LLC (Berwick Offray)
subsidiaries, to close Cleos Maysville, Kentucky production facility and to exit a
non-material, non-core business. This restructuring was undertaken in order to improve
profitability and efficiency through the elimination of redundant back office functions, certain
senior management positions and excess manufacturing capacity. The Company expects to complete
the restructuring plan by September 30, 2007. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company
recorded a restructuring reserve of $1,323,000, including severance related to 29 employees.
Also, in connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded an impairment of property,
plant and equipment at the affected facilities of $422,000. Additionally, during fiscal 2007,
there was an increase in the restructuring reserve in the amount of $582,000 primarily related
to the ratable recognition of retention bonuses for employees providing service until their
termination date. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, there was a reduction in the
restructuring accrual of $196,000 for costs related to severance that were less than originally
estimated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company made payments of $353,000,
primarily related to severance. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining liability of $907,000 was
classified as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and
will be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to incur additional
charges related to restructuring costs of approximately $425,000 during the remainder of fiscal
2008.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: |
On August 31, 2006, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) denied the Companys
appeal challenging the imposition of antidumping duties on certain tissue paper products
imported from China. As described in Part I, Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, in the proceedings before the CIT the Company was
seeking reversal of the March 2005 final determination of the United States International Trade
Commission (ITC) that, in part, resulted in the imposition of such duties. The Company is now
contesting the final determination of the ITC in proceedings before the United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which proceedings were initiated by the Company on October 27,
2006.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized an expense of approximately
$2,300,000 for these duties, reflecting the maximum liability of the Companys Cleo subsidiary
for duties relating to subject tissue paper products imported from China during the 2005 fiscal
year based on the applicable deposit rates established by the United States Commerce Department.
The amount of Cleos actual liability for tissue duties pertaining to the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2005, which liability is capped at the deposit rates in effect with respect to the
period of time that the subject products were imported by Cleo, will be determined at the time
of liquidation of the applicable entries by the United States Customs & Border Protection.
Liquidation of the applicable entries has been enjoined pending the outcome of the Companys
appeal.
CSS and its subsidiaries are also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not
considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the
ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: |
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. Companies are not allowed to adopt SFAS No. 159 on a retrospective basis
unless they choose early adoption. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 159 at the beginning
of fiscal 2009 and does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a significant
effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure about such fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
(fiscal 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157
will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements the impact of
a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based
solely on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits as of the date of adoption was $2,900,000. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result
in an adjustment to the Companys April 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The
implementation resulted in a reclassification to increase both deferred taxes and long term
obligations in the amount of approximately $700,000. In addition, the Company reclassified
$2,100,000 from other current liabilities to long term obligations related to unrecognized tax
benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months of June 30, 2007.
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 were $2,000,000 of tax
benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance
of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 were $900,000 of tax benefits that, if recognized,
would result in an adjustment to deferred taxes.
Consistent with the Companys historical financial reporting, the Company recognizes potential
accrued interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in
the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had accrued $700,000 for the estimated
payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not
result in an adjustment to its accrual for interest and penalties which is included as a
component of the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. During the three months ended June 30,
2007, the Company accrued an additional $33,000 in potential interest and penalties associated
with uncertain tax positions.
11
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and
foreign jurisdictions. Presently, the Company has not been contacted by the Internal Revenue
Service for examination of its income tax returns of open periods, March 31, 2005 through March
31, 2007. The Company finalized an examination of its March 31, 2004 federal tax return with
the Internal Revenue Service in May of 2006. Although the statute of limitations for the 2004
federal tax return has not yet expired, the Company considers the year to be effectively settled
as discussed in FSP FIN 48-1. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently not undergoing
audits in any state jurisdiction. A subsidiary of the Company is currently under examination
by Hong Kong Inland Revenue for the March 31, 2006 period.
The Company anticipates total unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by approximately $200,000
over the next 12 months due to the expiration of certain state statute of limitations. The
Company has classified this amount as short term income taxes payable on its balance sheet as of
June 30, 2007.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
Approximately 75% of the Companys sales are attributable to seasonal (Christmas, Valentines Day,
Easter and Halloween) products, with the remainder being attributable to everyday products.
Seasonal products are sold primarily to mass market retailers, and the Company has relatively high
market shares in many of these categories. Most of these markets have shown little or no growth in
recent years, and the Company continues to confront significant cost pressure as its competitors
source certain products from overseas and its customers increase direct sourcing from overseas
factories. Increasing customer concentration has augmented their bargaining power, which has also
contributed to price pressure.
The Company has taken several measures to respond to cost and price pressures. CSS continually
invests in product and packaging design and product knowledge to assure it can continue to provide
unique added value to its customers. In addition, CSS substantially expanded an office and
showroom in Hong Kong to better meet customers buying needs and to be able to provide
alternatively sourced products at competitive prices. CSS continually evaluates its efficiency and
productivity in its North American production and distribution facilities and in its back office
operations to maintain its competitiveness domestically. In the last four years, the Company has
closed three manufacturing plants and five warehouses totaling 800,000 square feet. Additionally,
in fiscal 2007 the Company combined the management and back office support for its Memphis,
Tennessee based Cleo gift wrap operation into its Berwick Offray ribbon and bow operation. This
action enhanced administrative efficiencies and is expected to provide incremental penetration of
gift packaging products into broader everyday channels of distribution.
The Companys everyday craft, trim-a-package and stationery product lines have higher inherent
growth potential due to higher market growth rate. Further, the Companys everyday craft,
trim-a-package, stationery and floral product lines have higher inherent growth potential due to
CSS relatively low current market share. The Company has established project teams to pursue top
line sales growth in these and other areas.
Historically, significant growth at CSS has come through acquisitions. Management anticipates that
it will continue to utilize acquisitions to stimulate further growth.
LITIGATION
On August 31, 2006, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) denied the Companys
appeal challenging the imposition of antidumping duties on certain tissue paper products imported
from China. As described in Part I, Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, in the proceedings before the CIT the Company was seeking
reversal of the March 2005 final determination of the United States International Trade Commission
(ITC) that, in part, resulted in the imposition of such duties. The Company is now contesting the
final determination of the ITC in proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit, which proceedings were initiated by the Company on October 27, 2006.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized an expense of approximately
$2,300,000 for these duties, reflecting the maximum liability of the Companys Cleo Inc (Cleo)
subsidiary for duties relating to subject tissue paper products imported from China during the 2005
fiscal year based on the applicable deposit rates established by the United States Commerce
Department. The amount of Cleos actual liability for tissue duties pertaining to the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005, which liability is capped at the deposit rates in effect with respect to the
period of time that the subject products were imported by Cleo, will be determined at the time of
liquidation of the applicable entries by the United States Customs & Border Protection.
Liquidation of the applicable entries has been enjoined pending the outcome of the Companys
appeal.
13
CSS and its subsidiaries are also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not
considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the
ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Companys accounting
policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and
estimates: revenue; cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of
long-lived assets and goodwill; valuation reserves for inventory and accounts receivable; income
tax accounting; the valuation of share-based awards and resolution of litigation and other
proceedings. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the
application of those accounting policies as noted in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Seasonality
The seasonal nature of CSS business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating
losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits
in the second and third quarters of the Companys fiscal year which ends March 31, thereby causing
significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 2% to $46,802,000 from $47,533,000 in 2006
primarily due to lower sales of educational products and all occasion cards, partially offset by
higher sales of Halloween products, Christmas boxed greeting cards and gift wrap.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 72% in 2007 and 2006. Lower margins achieved on
ribbons and bows as a result of the mix of product shipped during the quarter compared to the same
quarter in the prior year were offset by improved margins in the gift wrap product line.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 44% in 2007
and 47% in 2006. The decrease in SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to
lower severance costs and professional fees as well as savings from the restructuring program
announced in November.
Interest income of $374,000 in 2007 improved over interest expense of $134,000 in 2006 as a result
of the Companys improved cash position compared to the same quarter in the prior year, net of a
lower rate resulting from the Companys investment in a tax exempt municipal fund in the current
year.
14
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, were 35% in 2007 and 37% in 2006. The
decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Companys investment in a municipal
fund during fiscal 2008 that is tax exempt for federal purposes.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4,427,000, or $.41 per diluted share,
compared to $5,507,000, or $.52 per diluted share in 2006. The decreased net loss was primarily
attributable to lower SG&A costs as described above, favorable interest income and the decrease in
the Companys effective tax rate compared to the same quarter in prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2007, the Company had working capital of $189,839,000 and stockholders equity of
$257,827,000. The increase in inventories and decrease in cash from March 31, 2007 reflected the
normal seasonal inventory build necessary for the fiscal 2008 shipping season. The decrease in
stockholders equity was primarily attributable to the first quarter net loss and payment of the
quarterly dividend, partially offset by capital contributed upon exercise of employee stock
options.
The Company relies primarily on cash generated from its operations and seasonal borrowings to meet
its liquidity requirements. Historically, a significant portion of the Companys revenues are
seasonal with approximately 80% of sales recognized in the second and third quarters. As payment
for sales of Christmas related products is usually not received until just before or just after the
holiday selling season in accordance with general industry practice, short-term borrowing needs
increase throughout the second and third quarters, peaking prior to Christmas and dropping
thereafter. Seasonal financing requirements are met under a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility
with five banks and an accounts receivable securitization facility with an issuer of
receivables-backed commercial paper. This facility has a funding limit of $100,000,000 during peak
seasonal periods and $25,000,000 during off-peak seasonal periods. In addition, the Company has
outstanding $30,000,000 of 4.48% senior notes due ratably in annual $10,000,000 installments
through December 2009. These financing facilities are available to fund the Companys seasonal
borrowing needs and to provide the Company with sources of capital for general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions as permitted under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2007, there
was $30,000,000 of long-term borrowings outstanding related to the senior notes and no amounts
outstanding under the Companys short-term credit facilities. In addition, the Company has a minor
amount of capital leases outstanding. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes its
sources of available capital are adequate to meet its future cash needs for at least the next 12
months.
As of June 30, 2007, the Companys letter of credit commitments are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has letters of credit that guarantee funding of workers compensation claims. The
Company has no financial guarantees or other arrangements with any third parties or related parties
other than its subsidiaries.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into arrangements with vendors to purchase
merchandise in advance of expected delivery. These purchase orders do not contain any significant
termination payments or other penalties if cancelled.

LABOR RELATIONS
With the exception of the bargaining units at the gift wrap facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and
the ribbon manufacturing facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland, which totaled approximately 660
employees as of June 30, 2007, CSS employees are not represented by labor unions. Because of the
seasonal nature of certain of its businesses, the number of production employees fluctuates during
the year. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing Cleos production
and maintenance employees at the Cleo gift wrap plant and warehouses in Memphis, Tennessee remains
in effect until December 31, 2007. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union
representing the Hagerstown-based production and maintenance employees remains in effect until
December 31, 2009.

forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including without limitation, general
market conditions, increased competition, increased operating costs, including labor-related and
energy costs and costs relating to the imposition or retrospective application of duties on
imported products, currency risks and other risks associated with international markets, risks
associated with the combination of the operations of the Companys Cleo and Berwick Offray
subsidiaries, including the risk that the restructuring related savings may not meet the expected
amounts previously reported, the risk that customers may become insolvent, costs of compliance with
governmental regulations and government investigations, liability associated with non-compliance
with governmental regulations, including regulations pertaining to the environment, Federal and
state employment laws, and import and export controls and customs laws, and other factors described
more fully in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and
in the Companys previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of
these factors, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements
included herein or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manages this exposure through the
use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading
purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The market risks associated with debt obligations
and other significant instruments as of June 30, 2007 have not materially changed from March 31,
2007 (see Item 7A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) |
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by
this report, the Companys management, with the participation of the Companys President and
Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated
the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule
13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based upon that
evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules
and forms. |
(b) |
|
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. |
