BLACK BOX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Black Box Corporation (“Black Box” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The Company believes that these consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments needed to present fairly the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (the “Form 10-K”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. The fiscal quarters consist of 13 weeks and end on the Saturday nearest each calendar quarter end. The actual ending dates for the periods presented in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 were June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006. References to “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” mean the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31 for the year referenced. All references to dollar amounts herein are presented in thousands, except per share amounts.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates in these financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, sales returns, net realizable value of inventories, loss contingencies, warranty reserves, intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes the estimates made are reasonable.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for prior periods in order to conform to the presentation for the three (3) month periods ended June 30, 2007.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies / Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements within the Company’s Form 10-K. Additional significant accounting policies adopted during Fiscal 2008 are disclosed below.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes:
The Company requires that the realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The benefit to be recorded in the financial statements is the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the Provision for income taxes within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits an entity to elect to measure eligible items at fair value (“fair value option”) including many financial instruments. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for the Company as of April 1, 2008. If the fair value option is elected, the Company will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the

6


Table of Contents

fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The fair value option may be applied for a single eligible item without electing it for other identical items, with certain exceptions, and must be applied to the entire eligible item and not to a portion of the eligible item. The Company is currently evaluating the irrevocable election of the fair value option pursuant to SFAS 159.
Fair Value Measurements
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2008. The requirements of SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively except for certain derivative instruments that would be adjusted through the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, FIN 48 prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. FIN 48 also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 is effective for the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of April 1, 2007, as required. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a decrease to beginning retained earnings of $5,110 representing the cumulative effect adjustment. The adjustment to beginning retained earnings is summarized in the following table. See “Significant Accounting Policies” within this Note 2 and Note 14 for further reference.

  $ 450,022  
Adjustment for adoption of FIN 48
    (5,110)  
 
   
Balance as currently reported
  $ 444,912  
 
Definition of Settlement in FIN 48
In May, 2007, the FASB issued staff position No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”) which amended FIN 48 to provide guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under FSP FIN 48-1, a tax position could be effectively settled on completion of an examination by a taxing authority. The Company adopted FSP FIN 48-1 in conjunction with adoption of FIN 48 as of April 1, 2007. The adoption of FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3: Inventories

Revolving Credit Agreement - On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 24, 2005, as amended February 17, 2005 (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, as agent, and a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement expires on March 28, 2011. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are permitted up to a maximum amount of $310,000, which includes up to $15,000 of swing line loans and $25,000 of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement may be increased by the Company up to an additional $90,000 with the approval of the lenders and may be unilaterally and permanently reduced by the Company to not less than the then outstanding amount of all borrowings. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement accrues, at the Company’s option, at a rate based on either: (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate per annum of the agent then in effect and (ii) 0.50% plus the rate per annum announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as being the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions arranged by Federal funds brokers on the previous trading day or (b) a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 0.75% to 1.25% (determined by a leverage ratio based on the Company’s EBITDA). The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain non-financial and financial covenants such as minimum net worth, leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The maximum amount of debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the weighted average balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding debt for the three (3) month period ended June 30, 2007 was $262,565, $252,110 and 6.6%, respectively, compared to $266,055, $221,584 and 6.1%, respectively, for the three (3) month period ended June 30, 2006.
Capital lease obligations — The capital lease obligations are primarily for equipment. The lease agreements have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to five years with interest rates ranging from 3.83% to 11.73%.
Other - Other debt is comprised of various bank and third party loans secured by specific pieces of equipment and real property. The loans have remaining terms of less than one to three years with interest rates ranging from 0.0% to 5.9%.
Unused available borrowings - As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $5,234 outstanding in letters of credit and $71,266 available under the Credit Agreement.
Note 7: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts:
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposure to variability in expected fluctuations in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had open contracts in Australian and Canadian dollars, Danish krone, Euros, Mexican pesos, Japanese yen, Norwegian kroner, Pounds sterling, Swedish krona and Swiss francs, which have been designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts had a notional amount of approximately $67,896 and a fair value of $67,290 and mature within the next twenty-one months.
As of June 30, 2007, an unrecognized gain of $961 ($587 net of tax) on all open foreign currency forward contracts is included within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Other comprehensive income (“OCI”). This unrecognized gain is expected to be credited to earnings over the life of the maturing contracts as the hedged forecasted transaction occurs and it is expected that the gain will be offset by currency losses on the items being hedged.
The Company recognized gains of $96 ($59 net of tax) and $186 into earnings on matured contracts for the three (3) month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three (3) month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Interest Rate Swap:
To mitigate the risk of interest-rate fluctuations associated with the Company’s variable rate long term debt, the Company has implemented an interest-rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s goal is to manage interest-rate sensitivity by modifying the re-pricing characteristics of certain balance sheet liabilities so that the net-interest margin is not, on a material basis, adversely affected by the movements in interest rates.
On July 26, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap (“interest rate swap”) which has been used to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $100,000 reducing to $50,000 after three years and does not qualify for hedge accounting. For the three (3) month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of $1,308 related to the change in fair value of the interest rate swap included in Interest expense (income) within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded a liability of $426 related to the cumulative change in fair value of the interest rate swap which is a long-term liability recorded in Other liabilities within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The allocation of the purchase price for ADS and NTI is based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. Management, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, is currently assessing the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary allocations of purchase price are dependant upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary and may vary from the amounts reported herein. The acquisitions of ADS and NTI, taken individually, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations of ADS, NTI, NextiraOne and NUVT are included within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income beginning on their respective acquisition dates.
Note 9: Restructuring
In connection with acquisitions during Fiscal 2007, the Company has incurred costs related to facility consolidations, such as idle facility rent obligations and the write-off of leasehold improvements, and employee severance in an attempt to right-size the organization and more appropriately align the expense structure with anticipated revenues and changing market demand for its solutions and services. The majority of Fiscal 2007 costs were incurred in connection with acquisitions and as such were included in the purchase price allocation. Employee severance is generally payable within the next twelve months with certain facility costs extending through Fiscal 2014.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, the Company incurred $3,591 of costs related to facility consolidations and employee severance. These costs have been recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and other relevant Board committees are committed to a continued review and implementation of procedural enhancements and remedial actions in light of the findings of the Audit Committee’s review of the Company’s historical stock option granting practices as disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Consistent with its obligation to act in the best interests of the Company taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, the Audit Committee is continuing to assess the appropriateness of a broad range of possible procedural enhancements and potential remedial measures in light of the findings of its review.
While the Audit Committee has not completed its consideration of all such steps, procedural enhancements may include recommendations regarding improved stock option administration procedures and controls, training and monitoring compliance with those procedures, corporate recordkeeping, corporate risk assessment, evaluation of the internal compliance environment and other remedial steps that may be appropriate. Any such procedural enhancements will be recommended by the Audit Committee to the Board and/or appropriate Board committee for adoption. In advance of action by the Audit Committee, the Company has implemented additional procedures to its process for approving stock option grants that are focused on formalized documentation of appropriate approvals and determination of grant terms to employees.
The Audit Committee’s ongoing review includes an evaluation of the role of and possible claims or other remedial actions against current and former Company personnel who may be found to have had responsibility for identified problems during the period from 1992 to the present (the “Review Period”). Accordingly, the Audit Committee has begun to address and is addressing and expects to continue to address issues of individual conduct or responsibility, including those of the Board, Chief Executive Officers (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officers serving during the Review Period. In connection therewith, based on the findings of the Audit Committee as to Fred C. Young, the Company’s former

CEO who resigned on May 20, 2007, the Audit Committee concluded and recommended to the Board, and the Board determined, that Mr. Young could have been terminated due to Cause for Termination (as defined in his agreement dated May 11, 2004) at the time Mr. Young resigned as a director and as an officer of the Company on May 20, 2007. In light of that determination and the terms of the agreements with Mr. Young, all outstanding stock options held by Mr. Young (1,455,402 shares) terminated as of the date of his resignation.
This event occurred during the first quarter of Fiscal 2008 and the Company has determined that it should be considered a first quarter of Fiscal 2008 event for accounting purposes. This event had the following impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three month period ended June 30, 2007: (1) decrease in outstanding stock options of 1,455,402, (2) immaterial impact on the Diluted earnings per common share computation, (3) a decrease in deferred tax assets of $4,637 with the offsetting entry of $3,899 to Additional paid-in capital and (4) additional tax expense impact of approximately $738.
The Audit Committee may recommend additional remedial measures that appropriately address the issues raised by its findings. Such potential remedial measures may include an evaluation of the role of and possible claims or other remedial actions against current and former Company personnel who may be found to have been responsible for identified problems during the Review Period.
The following table summarizes certain information regarding the Company’s outstanding stock options at June 30, 2007:

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies
Regulatory Matters
As previously disclosed, on November 13, 2006, the Company received a letter of informal inquiry from the Enforcement Division of the SEC relating to the Company’s stock option practices from January 1, 1997 to present. On May 24, 2007, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation in connection with this matter, and, on May 29, 2007, the Company received a document subpoena from the SEC acting pursuant to such order. The Company has cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intends to continue to do so.
As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, is conducting an independent review of the Company’s historical stock option grant practices and related accounting for stock option grants. See the “Explanatory Note” preceding Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K for more information regarding this and related matters.
On September 20, 2006, the Company received formal notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding its intent to begin an audit of the Company’s tax years 2004 and 2005. In connection with this normal recurring audit, the IRS has requested certain documentation with respect to stock options for the Company’s 2004 and 2005 tax years. The Company has produced various documents requested by the IRS and is currently in the process of responding to additional documentation requests.
At the conclusion of these regulatory matters, the Company could be subject to additional taxes, fines, penalties or other costs which could be material.
Litigation Matters
In November 2006, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against the Company itself, as a nominal defendant, and several of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The two substantially identical stockholder derivative complaints allege that the individual defendants improperly backdated grants of stock options to several officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stockholder-approved stock option plans during the period 1996-2002, improperly recorded and accounted for backdated stock options in violation of generally accepted accounting principles, improperly took tax deductions based on backdated stock options in violation of the Code, produced and disseminated false financial statements and SEC filings to the Company’s stockholders and to the market that improperly recorded and accounted for the backdated option grants, concealed the alleged improper backdating of stock options and obtained substantial benefits from sales of Company stock while in the possession of material inside information. The complaints seek damages on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors and allege breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, securities law violations and other claims. The two lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action as In re Black Box Corporation Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 2:06-CV-1531-TMH, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 29, 2007. The parties have stipulated that responses by the defendants, including the Company, are due on or before September 4, 2007. The Company may have indemnification obligations arising out of this matter to its current and former directors and officers named in this litigation. The Company has made a claim for such costs under an insurance policy.

The Company is, as a normal part of its business operations, a party to legal proceedings in addition to those described in current and previous filings. Based on the facts currently available to the Company, management believes the matters described under this caption “Litigation Matters” are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, without merit or not probable that an unfavorable outcome will result.
Product Warranties
Estimated future warranty costs related to certain products are charged to operations in the period the related revenue is recognized. The product warranty liability reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable liability under those warranties. As of June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of $4,667 and $4,214, respectively.
There has been no other significant or unusual activity during Fiscal 2008.
Note 14: Uncertainty in Income Taxes
As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted FIN 48 on April 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded a $5,110 reduction to the beginning balance of Retained earnings representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, an increase to current liabilities of $3,656 recorded within Income taxes and a decrease to non-current assets of $1,454 recorded within Other assets, each of which is reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. At the adoption date of April 1, 2007, the gross liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $6,974. If the uncertain tax positions are recognized they would all favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the Provision for income taxes within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. As of April 1, 2007, the Company has recorded approximately $806 of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company did not make any significant adjustments to these amounts during the three (3) month period ended June 30, 2007.
During Fiscal 2007, the IRS commenced examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return, for Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2005. The IRS has not yet proposed any adjustment to the Company’s filing positions in connection with this examination. Upon completion of this examination, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized benefits will change. Any adjustment to the unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. The Company can not make an estimate of the impact on the effective rate for any potential adjustment at this time.
Fiscal 2006 and Fiscal 2007 remain open to examination by the IRS. Fiscal 2004 through Fiscal 2007 remain open to examination by state and foreign taxing jurisdictions.

The Company is in discussions with Avaya concerning the future business relationship of the parties and the handling of key accounts. The Company is evaluating the potential financial impact of this event as well as potential business strategies to minimize such impact. The Company currently anticipates that this impact will not have a material impact on its Fiscal 2008 operating results.
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2008 (“1Q08”) COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2007 (“1Q07”):
Total Revenues
Total revenues for 1Q08 were $252,291, an increase of 10% compared to total revenues for 1Q07 of $230,395. The increase was primarily due to the incremental revenue from the Acquired Companies, which added $72,027 and $60,174 for 1Q08 and 1Q07, respectively. Excluding the effects of the acquisitions and the positive exchange rate impact of $2,392 relative to the U.S. dollar, total revenues would have increased 4% from $170,221 to $177,872 for the reasons discussed below.
Revenues by Geography
North America
Revenues in North America for 1Q08 were $210,002, an increase of 9% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $192,572. The increase was primarily due to the incremental revenue from the Acquired Companies, which added $72,027 and $60,174 for 1Q08 and 1Q07, respectively. Excluding the effects of the acquisitions and the positive exchange rate impact of $106 relative to the U.S. dollar, North American revenues would have increased 4% from $132,398 to $137,869. The Company believes this increase is due to the success in the Company’s Data, Voice and Hotline (“DVH”) cross-selling initiatives.
Europe
Revenues in Europe for 1Q08 were $32,799, an increase of 12% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $29,345. Excluding the positive exchange rate impact of $2,207 relative to the U.S. dollar, Europe revenues would have increased 4% from $29,345 to $30,592. The Company believes the increase is due to the success in the Company’s DVH cross-selling initiatives.
All Other
Revenues for All Other for 1Q08 were $9,490, an increase of 12% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $8,478. Excluding the positive exchange rate impact of $79 relative to the U.S. dollar, All Other revenues would have increased 11% from $8,478 to $9,411.
Revenue by Service Type
Data Services
Revenues from Data Services for 1Q08 were $46,165, an increase of 4% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $44,531. Excluding the positive exchange rate impact of $934 relative to the U.S. dollar for its International Data Services, Data Services revenues would have increased 2% from $44,531 to $45,231. The Company believes the increase in Data Services revenues is due to the success in the Company’s DVH cross-selling initiatives coupled with stable end-user markets.
Voice Services
Revenues from Voice Services for 1Q08 were $149,987, an increase of 12% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $133,639. The increase was primarily due to the incremental revenue from the Acquired Companies, which added $72,027 and $60,174 for 1Q08 and 1Q07, respectively. Excluding the effects of the acquisitions, Voice Services revenues would have increased 6% from $73,465 to $77,960. The Company believes that the increase in Voice Services revenues is primarily due to the success in the Company’s DVH cross-selling initiatives. There was no exchange rate impact on Voice Services revenues as all of the Company’s Voice Services revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars coupled with stable end-user markets.
Hotline Services
Revenues from Hotline Services for 1Q08 were $56,139, an increase of 7% compared to revenues for 1Q07 of $52,225. Excluding the positive exchange rate impact of $1,458 relative to the U.S. dollar for its International Hotline Services, Hotline Services revenues would have increased 5% from $52,225 to $54,681. The Company believes this increase in Hotline Services revenues is primarily due to the success in the Company’s DVH cross-selling initiatives and increases in web-based sales coupled with stable end-user markets.
Gross Profit
Gross profit dollars for 1Q08 were $91,230, an increase of 6% compared to gross profit dollars for 1Q07 of $85,844. The Company believes the increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies. Gross profit as a percent of revenues for 1Q08 was 36.2%, a decrease of 1.1% compared to gross profit as a percentage of revenues for 1Q07 of 37.3%. The Company believes the

18


Table of Contents

percent decrease was due primarily to the impact of lower gross profit in its Voice Services segment driven by the acquisition of NextiraOne and the impact of lower gross profit in its Hotline Services segment driven by increased product costs and product mix.
Gross profit dollars for Data Services for 1Q08 were $14,177, or 30.7% of revenues, compared to gross profit dollars for 1Q07 of $13,317, or 29.9% of revenues. Gross profit dollars for Voice Services for 1Q08 were $50,276, or 33.5% of revenues, compared to gross profit dollars for 1Q07 of $45,763, or 34.2% of revenues. Gross profit dollars for Hotline Services for 1Q08 were $26,777, or 47.7% of revenues, compared to gross profit dollars for 1Q07 of $26,764, or 51.2% of revenues.
Selling, general & administrative expenses
Selling, general & administrative expenses for 1Q08 were $72,743, an increase of $2,541 compared to Selling, general & administrative expenses for 1Q07 of $70,202. Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percent of revenue for 1Q08 were 28.8% compared to 30.5% for 1Q07. The increase in Selling, general & administrative expense dollars and decrease in Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percent of revenue over the prior year was primarily due to increases in restructuring/integration costs of $2,915 and non-cash asset write-up depreciation expense of $659 partially offset by a decrease in non-cash stock based compensation expense of $1,533.
Intangibles amortization
Intangibles amortization for 1Q08 was $2,318, an increase of $812 compared to Intangibles amortization for 1Q07 of $1,506. The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired through the purchase of the Acquired Companies.
Operating income
Operating income for 1Q08 was $16,169, or 6.4% of revenues, an increase of $2,033 compared to Operating income for 1Q07 of $14,136, or 6.1% of revenues.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense for 1Q08 was $3,280, a decrease of $360 compared to net interest expense for 1Q07 of $3,640. The decrease in interest expense is due to a $1,308 gain related to the change in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap partially offset by an increase in the weighted average outstanding debt and weighted average interest rate from approximately $221,584 and 6.1%, respectively, for 1Q07 to approximately $252,110 and 6.6%, respectively, for 1Q08.
Provision for Income Taxes
The tax provision for 1Q08 was $4,768, an effective tax rate of 36.8%. This compares to the tax provision for 1Q07 of $3,568, an effective tax rate of 34.4%. The tax rate for 1Q08 was higher than 1Q07 due to changes in the overall mix of taxable income among worldwide offices, the loss of the extraterritorial income deduction for federal income tax purposes and the expected write-off of deferred tax assets related to book stock option compensation.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, net income for 1Q08 was $8,188, or 3.2% of revenues, compared to net income for 1Q07 of $6,813, or 3.0% of revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Significant factors contributing to the source of cash were: net income of $8,188 inclusive of non-cash charges of $5,273 and $1,716 for amortization / depreciation expense and stock compensation expense, respectively, a decrease in net inventory of $3,312 and a decrease in the tax benefit from stock options of $4,404. Significant factors contributing to a use of cash were, a non-cash charge of $1,308 for the change in fair market value of interest rate swap, a decrease in the deferred tax provision of $7,789, an increase in other assets of $1,996 and an increase in accounts payable of $4,519. Changes in the above accounts are based on average Fiscal 2008 exchange rates.

Total Debt
Revolving Credit Agreement - On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 24, 2005, as amended February 17, 2005 (collectively, and previously defined as the “Credit Agreement”) with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, as agent, and a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement expires on March 28, 2011. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are permitted up to a maximum amount of $310,000, which includes up to $15,000 of swing line loans and $25,000 of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement may be increased by the Company up to an additional $90,000 with the approval of the lenders and may be unilaterally and permanently reduced by the Company to not less than the then outstanding amount of all borrowings. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement accrues, at the Company’s option, at a rate based on either: (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate per annum of the agent then in effect and (ii) 0.50% plus the rate per annum announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as being the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions arranged by Federal funds brokers on the previous trading day or (b) a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 0.75% to 1.25% (determined by a leverage ratio based on the Company’s EBITDA). The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain non-financial and financial covenants such as minimum net worth, leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had total debt outstanding of $235,699. Total debt was comprised of $233,500 outstanding under the credit agreement, $2,162 of obligations under capital leases and $37 of various other third-party, non-employee loans.

Repurchase of Common Stock
There were no repurchases of common stock during either of the three (3) month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Additional repurchases of stock may occur from time to time depending upon factors such as the Company’s cash flows and general market conditions.

Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements within the Form 10-K. Additional significant accounting policies or amendments to previously-disclosed policies adopted during Fiscal 2008 are disclosed below.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes:
The Company requires that the realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The benefit to be recorded in the financial statements is the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the Provision for income taxes within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits an entity to elect to measure eligible items at fair value (“fair value option”) including many financial instruments. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for the Company as of April 1, 2008. If the fair value option is elected, the Company will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The fair value option may be applied for a single eligible item without electing it for other identical items, with certain exceptions, and must be applied to the entire eligible item and not to a portion of the eligible item. The Company is currently evaluating the irrevocable election of the fair value option pursuant to SFAS 159.
Fair Value Measurements
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, FIN 48 prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. FIN 48 also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 is effective for the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of April 1, 2007, as required. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a decrease in accumulated deficit and a decrease in tax liabilities through a cumulative effect adjustment of $5,110. The adjustment to accumulated deficit is summarized in the following table. See Note 2 and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further reference.

In May, 2007, the FASB issued staff position No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”) which amended FIN 48 to provide guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under FSP FIN 48-1, a tax position could be effectively settled on completion of an examination by a taxing authority. The Company adopted FSP FIN 48-1 in conjunction with adoption of FIN 48 as of April 1, 2007. The adoption of FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Inflation
The overall effects of inflation on the Company have been nominal. Although long-term inflation rates are difficult to predict, the Company continues to strive to minimize the effect of inflation through improved productivity and cost reduction programs as well as price adjustments within the constraints of market competition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business that include interest rate volatility and foreign currency exchange rates volatility. Market risk is measured as the potential negative impact on earnings, cash flows or fair values resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates over the next year. The Company does not hold or issue any other financial derivative instruments (other than those specifically noted below) nor does it engage in speculative trading of financial derivatives.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s primary interest rate risk relates to its long-term debt obligations. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had total long-term obligations under the Credit Agreement of $233,500, including the current portion of those obligations of $700. Of the outstanding debt, $100,000 was in variable rate debt that was effectively converted to a fixed rate through an interest rate swap agreement during Fiscal 2007 and $133,500 was in variable rate obligations. As of June 30, 2007, an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in the interest rate of the variable rate debt would reduce the Company’s net income in the subsequent fiscal quarter by $329 ($211 net of tax) assuming the Company employed no intervention strategies.
To mitigate the risk of interest-rate fluctuations associated with the Company’s variable rate long-term debt, the Company has implemented an interest-rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest-rate volatility. The Company’s goal is to manage interest-rate sensitivity by modifying the re-pricing characteristics of certain balance sheet liabilities so that the net-interest margin is not, on a material basis, adversely affected by the movements in interest rates.

On July 26, 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap which has been used to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $100,000 reducing to $50,000 after three years and does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair market value of the interest rate swap are recorded as an asset or liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Interest expense (income) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The Company has operations, clients and suppliers worldwide, thereby exposing the Company’s financial results to foreign currency fluctuations. In an effort to reduce this risk of foreign currency fluctuations, the Company generally sells and purchases inventory based on prices denominated in U.S. dollars. Intercompany sales to subsidiaries are generally denominated in the subsidiaries’ local currency. The Company has entered and will continue in the future, on a selective basis, to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the foreign currency exposure related to certain intercompany transactions, primarily trade receivables and loans. All of the foreign currency forward contracts have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments is recorded in Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until the hedged forecasted transaction occurs or the recognized currency transaction affects earnings. Once the forecasted transaction occurs or the recognized currency transaction affects earnings, the effective portion of any related gains or losses on the cash flow hedge is reclassified from OCI to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. In the event it becomes probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, the ineffective portion of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge would be reclassified from OCI to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had open foreign exchange contracts in Australian and Canadian dollars, Danish krone, Euros, Mexican pesos, Japanese yen, Norwegian kroner, Pounds sterling, Swedish krona and Swiss francs. The open contracts have contract rates ranging from 1.1787 to 1.2980 Australian dollar, 1.0958 to 1.1412 Canadian dollar, 5.5010 to 5.7285 Danish krone, 0.7273 to 0.7947 Euro, 0.0924 to 0.0924 Mexican pesos, 105.47 to 110.10 Japanese yen, 5.8992 to 6.3675 Norwegian kroner, 0.4984 to 0.5380 Pounds sterling, 6.1960 to 7.0579 Swedish krona and 1.1930 to 1.2275 Swiss franc, all per U.S. dollar. The total open contracts had a notional amount of approximately $67,896, have a fair value of $67,290 and will expire within twenty-one months.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported in accordance with the rules and forms of the SEC.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, soundness of internal controls, fraud, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of March 31, 2007, based on the conclusions of the Board, related to the findings of the review of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s historical stock option practices, a material weakness existed due to the potential for management override of controls. The material weakness no longer exists as of the date of this filing since the member of the Company’s management referenced in the Audit Committee’s findings is no longer employed by the Company. Management has and will continue to adopt all recommendations from the Board and Audit Committee related to this matter.
There have been no other significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company’s management carried out its evaluation.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Regulatory Matters
As previously disclosed, on November 13, 2006, the Company received a letter of informal inquiry from the Enforcement Division of the SEC relating to the Company’s stock option practices from January 1, 1997 to present. On May 24, 2007, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation in connection with this matter, and, on May 29, 2007, the Company received a document subpoena from the SEC acting pursuant to such order. The Company has cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intends to continue to do so.
As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, is conducting an independent review of the Company’s historical stock option grant practices and related accounting for stock option grants. See the “Explanatory Note” preceding Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K for more information regarding this and related matters.
On September 20, 2006, the Company received formal notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding its intent to begin an audit of the Company’s tax years 2004 and 2005. In connection with this normal recurring audit, the IRS has requested certain documentation with respect to stock options for the Company’s 2004 and 2005 tax years. The Company has produced various documents requested by the IRS and is currently in the process of responding to additional documentation requests.
At the conclusion of these regulatory matters, the Company could be subject to additional taxes, fines or penalties which could be material.
Litigation Matters
In November 2006, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against the Company itself, as a nominal defendant, and several of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The two substantially identical stockholder derivative complaints allege that the individual defendants improperly backdated grants of stock options to several officers and directors in violation of the Company’s stockholder-approved stock option plans during the period 1996-2002, improperly recorded and accounted for backdated stock options in violation of generally accepted accounting principles, improperly took tax deductions based on backdated stock options in violation of the Code, produced and disseminated false financial statements and SEC filings to the Company’s stockholders and to the market that improperly recorded and accounted for the backdated option grants, concealed the alleged improper backdating of stock options and obtained substantial benefits from sales of Company stock while in the possession of material inside information. The complaints seek damages on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors and allege breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, securities law violations and other claims. The two lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action as In re Black Box Corporation Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 2:06-CV-1531-TMH, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 29, 2007. The parties have stipulated that responses by the defendants, including the Company, are due on or before September 4, 2007. The Company may have indemnification obligations arising out of this matter to its current and former directors and officers named in this litigation. The Company has made a claim for such costs under an insurance policy.
The Company is involved in, or has pending, various legal proceedings, claims, suits and complaints arising out of the normal course of business.
Based on the facts currently available to the Company, management believes the matters described under this caption “Litigation Matters” are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, without merit or not probable that an unfavorable outcome will result.
