Annual Report
The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The discussion and analysis of the Company's consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. The Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used for such items as collectibility of trade accounts receivable, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, self-insurance programs, warranty costs and income taxes. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Allowance for doubtful accounts - the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts through review of open accounts, and historical collection and allowances amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is intended to reduce trade accounts receivable to the amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable fair value due to their short-term nature. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements based on collection experience and actual returns and allowances.
Inventories - the Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. A large portion of our finished goods inventory is made to order and many of our raw material parts are interchangeable between products. Management assesses the inventory on hand and if necessary writes down the obsolete or excess inventory to market.
Revenue recognition - is upon delivery of product to our customer and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery of product to our customer is evidenced through the shipping terms indicating when title and risk of loss is transferred. Our ordering process creates persuasive evidence of the sale arrangement and the sales amount is determined. The delivery of the goods to our customer completes the earnings process. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
See Item 8. Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were $324.2 million compared to $405.7 million in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 20.1%. Residential net sales were $230.7 million compared to $258.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 10.6%. Commercial net sales were $77.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 15.6% from net sales of $91.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Recreational vehicle net sales were $16.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 71.1% from $56.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
The recreational vehicle industry continues to be the hardest hit product category with the initial impact of high fuel costs compounded by credit tightening and lack of consumer confidence in the economy as a whole. Recreational vehicle industry published data indicates that motor home unit sales, the sector that encompasses the majority of our sales, are down nearly 80%. The commercial seating product category held up well early in our fiscal year, but fell considerably as the U. S. economy contracted and credit tightened. We believe that our residential product category has performed reasonably well in relation to our competition. However, residential furniture remains a deferrable purchase item and is adversely impacted by tighter consumer credit, higher unemployment and low levels of consumer confidence.
Gross margin for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 18.8% and 19.3%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the year is primarily due to an approximate $2.0 million adjustment to realizable value on inventory and to a lesser extent to under-utilization of capacity on significantly lower sales volume. These factors were partially offset by a LIFO benefit increase of approximately $0.6 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 18.8% and 17.5% of net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The percentage increase in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily due to under-absorption of fixed costs on the lower sales volume and the lag time in reducing advertising and other sales support costs to the lower volume.
The Company recorded $2.6 million in facility consolidation and employee separation costs during fiscal year 2009. These costs related to consolidating manufacturing operations and workforce reductions to bring production capacity in line with current and expected demand for the Company's products.
Interest expense decreased $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 due to lower borrowings and interest rates.
Although the Company's full year tax rate is typically in the 35% - 39% range, fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 reflects an effective income tax benefit rate of 41.5% due to losses or low level of earnings in various tax jurisdictions. The effective income tax expense rate was 35.8% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
The above factors resulted in net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 of $1.5 million or $0.23 per share compared to net income of $4.2 million or $0.64 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were $405.7 million compared to $425.4 million in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 4.6%. Residential net sales were $258.1 million compared to $259.7 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 0.6%. Commercial net sales were $91.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 8.1% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Recreational vehicle net sales were $56.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 15.2% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The fiscal year decline in all net sales categories is due to a generally soft market environment.
Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $4.2 million or $0.64 per share compared to $9.3 million or $1.42 per share in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were favorably impacted by three significant non-recurring events. The Company sold a commercial property, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.0 million, or $0.37 per share after tax. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of vacant land of approximately $0.4 million or $0.04 per share after tax. These gains are reported as "Gain on sale of capital assets" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also realized a non-taxable gain on life insurance of $0.6 million, or $0.08 per share. This gain is included in "Interest and other income" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.5 % and 16.7% of net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The percentage increase in selling, general and administrative costs compared to the prior fiscal year is due primarily to higher marketing and sales support expenses and higher bad debt expense of $1.1 million on reduced revenues on a year over year basis.
The effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was 35.8%, reflecting lower net income compared to the prior year. The effective income tax rate was 35.6% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The 2007 rate was reduced by approximately 1.4% due to the non-taxable life insurance gain.
The above factors resulted in net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of $4.2 million or $0.64 per share compared to $9.3 million or $1.42 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.3 million for fiscal year 2009 compared to $8.7 million in fiscal year 2008. Cash from operating activities was used primarily to reduce borrowings by $16.0 million and pay dividends of $2.9 million. Significant changes in working capital from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009 included decreased accounts receivable of $12.5 million, decreased inventory of $11.9 million and decreased accounts payable of $4.8 million. The decrease in receivables is related to lower shipment volume. Lower customer demand for our products reduced production levels and finished product purchases which resulted in an inventory decrease. The decrease in accounts payable related to lower purchase volume based on current demand. The Company expects that due to the nature of our operations that there will be continuing fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and cash flows from operations due to the following: (i) we purchase selected inventory items from offshore suppliers with long lead times and depending on the timing of the delivery of those orders inventory levels can be greatly impacted, and (ii) we have various customers that purchase large quantities of inventory periodically and the timing of those purchases can significantly impact inventory levels, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings. As discussed below the Company believes it has adequate financing arrangements and access to capital to absorb these fluctuations in operating cash flow.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.4 million in fiscal year 2009 compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million in fiscal year 2008. Proceeds from the sale of investments were $1.5 million. Proceeds from the sale of capital assets were $0.7 million. Capital expenditures were $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.7 million and $4.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company expects that capital expenditures will be approximately $2.0 million in fiscal year 2010.
Net cash used in financing activities was $18.8 million in fiscal year 2009 compared to $5.8 million in fiscal year 2008. Cash from operating activities was used to reduce borrowings by $16.0 million and pay dividends of $2.9 million. Borrowings were reduced by $2.4 million and dividends paid were $3.4 million in fiscal year 2008.
Management believes that the Company has adequate cash and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements for fiscal year 2010. In the opinion of management, the Company's liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and to purchase productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations. However, should the current economic conditions continue for an extended period of time or deteriorate significantly, we would further evaluate all uses of cash and credit facilities, including the payment of dividends and purchase of capital assets.

Contractual obligations associated with the Company's deferred compensation plans were excluded from the table above as the Company cannot predict when the events that trigger payment will occur. Total accumulated deferred compensation liabilities were $5.0 million at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009 the Company had no capital lease obligations, and no purchase obligations for raw materials or finished goods. The purchase price on all open purchase orders was fixed and denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, the Company has excluded the FIN 48 reserve from the above table, as the timing of payments, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.
See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 23 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We believe that the consolidation of manufacturing operations and workforce reductions that the Company completed during the fiscal year has brought production capacity and fixed overhead more in line with current and expected demand for our products. Company wide employment has been reduced approximately 30% over the past year through plant closures and workforce reductions related to business conditions.
Demand for our products is dependent on factors such as consumer confidence, affordable housing, reasonably attainable financing and an economy with low levels of unemployment and high levels of disposable income. These factors remain in depressed positions, and indications are that they will remain that way in the near-term. We are not anticipating significant improvements in market conditions at this time, and are managing our business on that basis.
While we expect that current business conditions will persist for the remainder of calendar year 2009, we remain optimistic that our strategy of a wide range of quality product offerings and price points to the residential, recreational vehicle and commercial markets combined with our conservative approach to business will be rewarded when business conditions improve. We will maintain our focus on a strong balance sheet during these challenging economic times through emphasis on cash flow and improving profitability.
