NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGT, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively the Company) after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the current year or for any future periods. Each of our Companys fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 consist of 13 weeks.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2007 included in the Companys most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Form 10-K.
NOTE 2. RESTRUCTURINGS
On March 4, 2008, we announced a second restructuring of the Company as a result of continued analysis of the Companys target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency. The restructuring resulted in a decrease in the Companys workforce of approximately 17% and included employees at both its Venice, Florida and Salisbury, North Carolina locations. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2008, of which $1.1 million is classified within cost of goods sold and $0.7 million is classified within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 29, 2008. The charge related primarily to employee separation costs. All of the $1.8 million charge has been disbursed as of March 29, 2008.
On October 25, 2007, we announced a restructuring of the Company as a result of an in-depth analysis of the Companys target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency. The restructuring resulted in a decrease in indirect workforce (overhead) of approximately 17%, which equated to approximately 8% of the Companys then overall employee population, and included employees at both its Venice, Florida and Salisbury, North Carolina locations. The restructuring was undertaken in an effort to streamline operations as well as improve processes to drive new product development and sales. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The charge related primarily to employee separation costs. Of the $2.4 million charge, $1.5 million had been disbursed in the fourth quarter of 2007 and an additional almost $0.7 million was disbursed in the first quarter of 2008. The remaining $0.2 million, classified within accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2008, is expected to be disbursed by the end of 2008.

NOTE 3. WARRANTY
Our Company has warranty obligations with respect to most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods, which vary by product component, range from 1 to 10 years. However, the majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The reserve for warranties is based on managements assessment of the cost per service call and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on recorded net sales. The reserve is determined after assessing our Companys warranty history and estimating our future warranty obligations.

NOTE 4. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products. Our Company has limited finished goods inventory since all products are custom, made-to-order products. Finished goods inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. The reserve for obsolescence is based on managements assessment of the amount of inventory that may become obsolete in the future and is determined based on historical usage of the inventory, forecasted usage, specific identification method, and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Inventories consisted of the following:

NOTE 5. STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). This statement is a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and requires us to recognize the cost of employee and non-employee directors services received in exchange for our Companys equity instruments. Under SFAS No. 123(R), we are required to record compensation expense over an awards vesting period based on the awards fair value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense for stock based awards of less than $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2007. As of March 29, 2008, there was $0.8 million and $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option agreements and non-vested restricted share awards, respectively, including the repriced options as described in Item 8, in footnote 16 under the title The Repricing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007 as filed on March 10, 2008. These costs are expected to be recognized in earnings on a straight line basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.

NOTE 6. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net (loss) income per common share (EPS) is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
The table below presents the calculation of EPS and a reconciliation of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for our Company:

$ | 94,956 | $ | 96,348 | ||||||
The impairment evaluation for goodwill and other intangible assets is conducted at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The determination of fair value used in the impairment evaluation is highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of the Company. Estimated cash flows are sensitive to, among other things, changes in the housing market and the economy. The Company considers the relationship between the trading price of its common stock and its per-share book value, among other things, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. At March 29, 2008, the Companys common stock was trading at a price below its per-share book value. The Company believes its stock price is depressed due to weak economic conditions in the housing sector, the Companys primary market. If weak conditions in the housing sector persist or further deteriorate, the Companys stock price may continue to trade at a price below its per-share book value, possibly indicating the existence of impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets. If impairment was deemed to exist, we would be required to write down the carrying value of goodwill and/or other intangible assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets was identified during the first quarter of 2008.

NOTE 8. LONG-TERM DEBT
On February 14, 2006, our Company entered into a second amended and restated $235 million senior secured credit facility and a $115 million second lien term loan due August 14, 2012, with a syndicate of banks. The senior secured credit facility is composed of a $30 million revolving credit facility and, initially, a $205 million first lien term loan. As of March 29, 2008 there was $25.4 million available under the revolving credit facility.
The first lien term loan bears interest at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.0% per annum or a base rate plus 2.0% per annum, at our option. The loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest initially, at our option (provided, that all swingline loans shall be base rate loans), at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum or a base rate plus 1.75% per annum, and the margins above LIBOR and base rate may decline to 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% for base rate loans if certain leverage ratios are met. A commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum accrues on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of each lender under the revolving credit facility and such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. We are also required to pay certain other fees with respect to the senior secured credit facility including (i) letter of credit fees on the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit plus the aggregate principal amount of all letter of credit reimbursement obligations, (ii) a fronting fee to the letter of credit issuing bank and (iii) administrative fees.
The first lien term loan is secured by a perfected first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of our subsidiary and perfected first priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and those of the guarantors, except, in the case of the stock of a foreign subsidiary, to the extent such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in materially adverse tax consequences, and subject to such other exceptions as are agreed. The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to (i) dispose of assets; (ii) change our business; (iii) engage in mergers or consolidations; (iv) make certain acquisitions; (v) pay dividends or repurchase or redeem stock; (vi) incur indebtedness or guarantee obligations and issue preferred and other disqualified stock; (vii) make investments and loans; (viii) incur liens; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (x) enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (xi) issue stock or stock options under certain conditions; (xii) amend or prepay subordinated indebtedness and loans under the second lien secured credit facility; (xiii) modify or waive material documents; or (xiv) change our fiscal year. In addition, under the senior secured credit facility, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, and maximum capital expenditures. However, see Note 14, Recent Development, below.
Contractual future maturities of long-term debt outstanding as of March 29, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2007, we prepaid $20.0 million of long term debt with cash on hand. No repayments were made or were required during the first quarter of 2008.
On an annual basis, our Company is required to compute excess cash flow, as defined in our credit and security agreement with the bank. In periods where there is excess cash flow, our Company is required to make prepayments in an aggregate principal amount determined through reference to a grid based on the leverage ratio. No such prepayments were required for the year ended December 29, 2007. The term note and line of credit require that our Company also maintain compliance with certain restrictive financial covenants, the most restrictive of which requires our Company to maintain a total leverage ratio, as defined in the debt agreement, of not greater than certain predetermined amounts. Our Company believes that we are in compliance with all restrictive financial covenants.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Our Company is a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of those proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any claim that is pending or threatened, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
The Company or its subsidiary files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003 and state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003 in states where the Company or a subsidiary has a material tax presence.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. We did not recognize any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in conjunction with our FIN 48 implementation and there were no changes to our unrecognized tax benefits during 2007 or the first quarter of 2008. However, should we accrue for such liabilities if they arise in the future we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.
Our effective tax rate was 36.6% for the quarter ended March 29, 2008 and 36.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as of December 30, 2007 (the first day of our 2008 fiscal year) for financial instruments. Although the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, we are now required to provide additional disclosures as part of our interim and annual financial statements.
10
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of March 29, 2008, we held an asset that is required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis related to our aluminum hedging activities composed of forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum. We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. At March 29, 2008, we had 13 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 3.1 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $1.22 per pound with maturity dates of between one month and five months through August 2008. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flow attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum. These aluminum hedges had a fair value of $0.5 million at March 29, 2008, classified within other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our overall aluminum hedge program qualifies as highly effective for reporting purposes. Effectiveness of aluminum forward contracts is determined by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. During the quarter ended March 29, 2008, although two of the 13 existing contracts were designated as ineffective, the ineffective portion of the hedging instruments was not significant. The ending accumulated balance for the aluminum forward contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, is $0.2 million as of March 29, 2008, all of which is expected to be reclassified to earnings in 2008.
Aluminum forward contracts identical to those held by the Company trade on the London Metals Exchange (LME). The LME provides a transparent forum and is the world's largest center for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals and plastics. The trading is highly liquid and, therefore, the metals industry has a high degree of confidence that the trade pricing properly reflects current supply and demand. The prices are used by the metals industry worldwide as the basis for contracts for the movement of physical material throughout the production cycle. Based on this high degree of volume and liquidity in the LME and the transparency of the market participants, the valuation price at any measurement date for contracts with identical terms as to prompt date, trade date and trade price as those we hold at any time we believe represents a contract's exit price to be used for purposes of SFAS No. 157. Trade pricing is based on valuation model inputs that can generally be verified but which require some degree of judgment. Therefore, we categorize these aluminum forward contracts as being valued using Level 2 inputs as follows:

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 was effective for our Company beginning in fiscal year 2008. We chose not to elect the fair value option provided under SFAS No. 159 for financial instruments that existed as of December 30, 2007, the first day of our 2008 fiscal year.
NOTE 13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We currently provide information about our hedging activities and use of derivatives in our annual filings with the SEC, including many of the disclosures required by SFAS No. 161. Thus, we currently anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will require such disclosures to be made in interim financial statements but do not anticipate a material impact on the disclosures provided annually.

NOTE 14. RECENT DEVELOPMENT
On April 30, 2008, the Company announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2008 that the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement described in Note 8 above. The amendment, among other things, relaxes certain financial covenants, increases the applicable rate on loans and letters of credit, and sets a LIBOR floor. The effectiveness of the amendment is conditioned, among other things, on the repayment of at least $30 million of loans under the credit agreement no later than August 14, 2008. Such amount is expected to come from a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds of an equity issuance.
The credit agreement agents, certain of the other lenders under the credit agreement, and certain of their respective affiliates have performed or may in the future perform various commercial banking, lending, investment banking, financial advisory, trustee, hedging, or other services for the Company and affiliates, for which they have received or will receive fees and reimbursement of expenses.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 29, 2007 included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document includes forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our financial condition and business strategy. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions, and other statements that are not historical facts. As a result, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this discussion and analysis and located elsewhere in this document regarding the prospects of our industry and our prospects, plans, financial position, and business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, could, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, plan, foresee, believe, or continue, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these expectations will occur as predicted. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this document. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
Risks associated with our business, an investment in our securities, and with achieving the forward-looking statements contained in this report or in our news releases, Web sites, public filings, investor and analyst conferences or elsewhere, include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described below. Any of the risk factors described below could cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may not succeed in addressing these challenges and risks.
Current Operating Conditions and Outlook
In the first quarter of 2008, housing permits in Florida decreased 56% compared to the first quarter of 2007 and were down 5% from the fourth quarter of 2007. In response to the deterioration in the housing market, we have taken a number of steps to maintain
12
profitability and conserve capital. As discussed in Other Developments Restructurings below, we adjusted our operating cost structure to more closely align with current demand. In addition, we decreased our capital spending in 2007 and have further restricted capital spending in the first quarter of 2008. However, we also view this market downturn as an opportunity to gain market share from our competitors. For instance, we have introduced new incentive programs offered to both our distributors and end users. We also increased marketing and sales efforts in areas outside of our dominant markets, including northern Florida, the Gulf Coast and the Carolinas. Finally, we introduced new products and expanded product lines to broaden our product offering. As a result of these actions, we continue to outperform the underlying market. However gross margins have declined to 29.3% in the first quarter of 2008 from 34.0% in the first quarter of 2007 due mainly to the impact of the loss of operating leverage against fixed costs.
While the homebuilding industry is in a down cycle, we still believe the long-term outlook for the housing industry is positive due to growth in the underlying demographics. At this point, it is unclear if housing activity has hit bottom. Despite the unfavorable operating conditions, we still believe that, in the long-term, we can grow organically by gaining market share and outperforming our underlying markets. However, we think difficult market conditions affecting our business will continue to have a negative effect on our operating results and year-over-year comparisons.
Other Developments
Restructurings
On March 4, 2008, we announced a second restructuring of the Company as a result of continued analysis of the Companys target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency. The restructuring resulted in a decrease in the Companys workforce of approximately 17% and included employees at both its Venice, Florida and Salisbury, North Carolina locations. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. The charge related primarily to employee separation costs.
On October 25, 2007, we announced a restructuring of the Company as a result of an in-depth analysis of the Companys target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency. The restructuring resulted in a decrease in indirect workforce (overhead) of approximately 17%, which equated to approximately 8% of the Companys then overall employee population, and included employees at both its Venice, Florida and Salisbury, North Carolina locations. The restructuring was undertaken in an effort to streamline operations as well as improve processes to drive new product development and sales. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The charge related primarily to employee separation costs.

Overview
During the first quarter of 2008, we continued to execute on our strategy of gaining market share and controlling costs during the current housing downturn. The industry experienced a decline in housing permits in Florida of approximately 56% in the first quarter
13
of 2008 while our revenues declined 24.5%, each as compared to the first quarter of 2007. In addition, gross margin percentage was 29.3% in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 34.0% in the first quarter of 2007. The decline was primarily a result of the significant slowdown in Florida new home construction. Adjusted for $0.7 million of restructuring costs, selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2008 decreased by $4.6 million, or 22.7% from the first quarter of 2007, primarily driven by lower selling and marketing costs and an overall decline in general administrative expenses from the reduced volumes and lower personnel-related costs as a result of the restructuring actions discussed above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 2008 AND MARCH 31, 2007
Net sales
Net sales decreased $17.8 million, or 24.5%, in the first quarter of 2008, compared to the 2007 first quarter. Net sales for the first quarter of 2008 was $54.8 million, compared with net sales of $72.6 million for the first quarter of 2007. The following table shows net sales classified by major product category (sales in thousands):

Net sales of WinGuard branded products was $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 19.5%, from $48.1 million in net sales for the 2007 first quarter. Demand for WinGuard branded products is driven by, among other things, increased enforcement of strict building codes mandating the use of impact-resistant products, increased consumer and homebuilder awareness of the advantages provided by impact-resistant windows and doors over active forms of hurricane protection, and our successful marketing efforts. The decrease in sales of our WinGuard branded products was driven mainly by the decline in new housing but also to some extent by the lack of storm activity during the two most recent hurricane seasons in the coastal markets of Florida served by the Company.
Net sales of Other Window and Door Products was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 34.3%, from $24.5 million in net sales for the 2007 first quarter. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in new housing. New housing demand has traditionally impacted sales of our Other Window and Door Products more than our WinGuard Window and Door Products.
Restructuring Charge
On March 4, 2008 we announced a second restructuring of the Company as a result of continued analysis of the Companys target markets, internal structure, projected run-rate, and efficiency. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 of which $1.1 million is included in cost of goods sold and $0.7 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The charge related primarily to employee separation costs.
Gross margin
Gross margin was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 34.9%, from $24.7 million for the first quarter of 2007. This decrease was largely due to lower sales volumes of all of our products, most significantly of our WinGuard branded windows and doors, sales of which decreased 19.5% compared to the prior year quarter, and the resulting loss of operating leverage against fixed costs. Cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2008 also includes a $1.1 million charge related to the restructuring actions taken in the 2008 first quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $3.9 million, from $20.2 million for the 2007 first quarter. This decrease was mainly due to a $2.3 million decrease in personnel related costs as the result of the cost saving actions initiated by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008 as well as decreases in
14
commissions and incentive compensation, a $1.5 million decrease in marketing costs primarily due to a lower level of advertising, a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.2 million decrease in Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 compliance costs. These decreases were partially offset by $0.7 million in restructuring costs included in selling general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2008. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the first quarter of 2008 to 29.7% compared to 27.8% for the first quarter of 2007, mainly due to the restructuring charge and the decrease in volume.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 12.7% from $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease was due to a 16% decrease in average debt level in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 as well as lower amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by lower interest income due to lower average level of cash in banks in the 2008 first quarter compared to the 2007 first quarter.
Other expenses (income), net
There was other income of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to other expenses of $0.1 million for the 2007 first quarter. The amounts in the first quarter of 2008 relate to the effects of the ineffective portions of aluminum hedges and in the first quarter of 2007 to the effect of ineffective interest rate hedges.
Income tax (benefit) expense
Our effective tax benefit rate was 36.6% for the first quarter of 2008 compared to an effective tax rate of 36.9% for the first quarter of 2007. There were no individually significant permanent differences in either period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated by operations, supplemented by borrowings under our credit facilities. This cash generating capability provides us with financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, meet required debt payments, including debt service payments on our credit facilities, and fund capital expenditures.
Consolidated Cash Flows
Operating activities. Cash flows used in operating activities were $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $2.8 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, we had net cash collections from customers totaling $55.3 million and other cash collections of $0.8 million, primarily from scrap aluminum sales. In the first quarter of 2008, we disbursed $31.6 million in cash related to payments of accounts payable, primarily to our vendors, and $22.2 million in cash to employees and for other payroll-related expenses. We also used $2.7 million in cash to pay debt service costs. In the first quarter of 2007, we had net cash collections from customers totaling $71.3 million and other cash collections of $1.3 million, primarily from scrap aluminum sales. In the first quarter of 2007, we disbursed $41.4 million in cash related to payments of accounts payable, primarily to our vendors, and $25.3 million in cash to employees and for other payroll-related expenses. We also used $3.1 million in cash to pay debt service costs. Days sales outstanding (DSO), which we calculate as accounts receivable divided by recent average daily sales, was 37 days at both March 29, 2008 and December 29, 2007, compared to 41 days at March 31, 2007 and 46 days at December 30, 2006.
Investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities were $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was mainly due to restrictions placed on capital spending in the first quarter of 2008.
Financing activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2008, related to the proceeds and tax benefits from the exercise of stock options during the quarter, compared to cash used in financing activities of $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. In February 2007, we prepaid $20.0 million of our long-term debt with cash generated from operations.
15
Capital Resources. On February 14, 2006, our Company entered into a second amended and restated $235 million senior secured credit facility and a $115 million second lien term loan due August 14, 2012, with a syndicate of banks. The senior secured credit facility is composed of a $30 million revolving credit facility and, initially, a $205 million first lien term loan.
The first lien term loan bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.0% per annum or a base rate plus 2.0% per annum. The loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest initially, at our option (provided, that all swingline loans shall be base rate loans), at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum or a base rate plus 1.75% per annum, and the margins above LIBOR and base rate may decline to 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% for base rate loans if certain leverage ratios are met. A commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum accrues on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of each lender under the revolving credit facility and such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. We are also required to pay certain other fees with respect to the senior secured credit facility including (i) letter of credit fees on the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit plus the aggregate principal amount of all letter of credit reimbursement obligations, (ii) a fronting fee to the letter of credit issuing bank and (iii) administrative fees.
The first lien term loan is secured by a perfected first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of our subsidiary and perfected first priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and those of the guarantors, except, in the case of the stock of a foreign subsidiary, to the extent such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in materially adverse tax consequences, and subject to such other exceptions as are agreed. The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to (i) dispose of assets; (ii) change our business; (iii) engage in mergers or consolidations; (iv) make certain acquisitions; (v) pay dividends or repurchase or redeem stock; (vi) incur indebtedness or guarantee obligations and issue preferred and other disqualified stock; (vii) make investments and loans; (viii) incur liens; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (x) enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (xi) issue stock or stock options of our subsidiary; (xii) amend or prepay subordinated indebtedness and loans under the second lien secured credit facility; (xiii) modify or waive material documents; or (xiv) change our fiscal year. In addition, under the first lien secured credit facility, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, and maximum capital expenditures. However, see Recent Development below.
Based on our ability to generate cash flows from operations and our borrowing capacity under the revolver under the senior secured credit facility, we believe we will have sufficient capital to meet our short-term and long-term needs, including our capital expenditures and our debt obligations in 2008.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions. For the first quarter of 2008, capital expenditures were $1.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2007 and continuing into 2008, we placed restrictions on our capital spending to conserve cash but anticipate that cash flows from operations and liquidity from the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to execute our business plans.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to our Disclosures of Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments table in Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the accurate portrayal of a companys financial condition and results and require subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain estimates are particularly sensitive due to their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may be significantly different from our expectations. Management has discussed the development and disclosure of critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We identified our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2008. Other than fair value measurements described below, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the first quarter of 2008.
16
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as of December 30, 2007 (the first day of our 2008 fiscal year) for financial instruments. Although the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, we are now required to provide additional disclosures as part of our interim and annual financial statements.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of March 29, 2008, we held an asset that is required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis related to our aluminum hedging activities composed of forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum. We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. At March 29, 2008, we had 13 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 3.1 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $1.22 per pound with maturity dates of between one month and five months through August 2008. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum. These aluminum hedges had a fair value of $0.5 million at March 29, 2008, classified within other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our overall aluminum hedge program qualifies as highly effective for reporting purposes. Effectiveness of aluminum forward contracts is determined by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. During the quarter ended March 29, 2008, although two of the 13 existing contracts were designated as ineffective, the ineffective portion of the hedging instruments was not significant. The ending accumulated balance for the aluminum forward contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, is $0.2 million as of March 29, 2008, all of which is expected to be reclassified to earnings in 2008.
Aluminum forward contracts identical to those held by the Company trade on the London Metals Exchange (LME). The LME provides a transparent forum and is the world's largest center for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals and plastics. The trading is highly liquid and, therefore, the metals industry has a high degree of confidence that the trade pricing properly reflects current supply and demand. The prices are used by the metals industry worldwide as the basis for contracts for the movement of physical material throughout the production cycle. Based on this high degree of volume and liquidity in the LME and the transparency of the market participants, the valuation price at any measurement date for contracts with identical terms as to prompt date, trade date and trade price as those we hold at any time we believe represents a contract's exit price to be used for purposes of SFAS No. 157. Trade pricing is based on valuation model inputs that can generally be verified but which require some degree of judgment. Therefore, we categorize these aluminum forward contracts as being valued using Level 2 inputs.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). This statement is a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and requires us to recognize the cost of employee and non-employee directors services received in exchange for our Companys equity instruments. Under SFAS No. 123(R), we are required to record compensation expense over an awards vesting period based on the awards fair value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense for stock based awards of less than $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2007. As of March 29, 2008, there was $0.8 million and $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option agreements and non-vested restricted share awards, respectively, including the repriced options as described in Item 8 in footnote 16 under the title The Repricing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007 as filed on March 10, 2008. These costs are expected to be recognized in earnings on a straight line basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The impairment evaluation for goodwill and other intangible assets is conducted at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The determination of fair value used in the impairment evaluation is highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of the Company. Estimated cash flows are sensitive to, among other things, changes in the housing market and the economy. The Company considers the relationship between the trading price of its common stock and its per-share book value, among other things, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. At March 29, 2008, the Companys common stock was trading at a price below its per-share book value. The Company believes its stock price is depressed due to weak economic conditions in the housing sector, the Companys primary market. If weak conditions in the housing sector persist or further deteriorate, the Companys stock price may continue to trade at a price below its per-share book value, possibly indicating the existence of impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets. If impairment was deemed to exist, we would be required to write down the carrying value of goodwill and or other intangible assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets was identified during the first quarter of 2008.
Recent Development
On April 30, 2008, the Company announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2008 that the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement described in Note 8 above. The amendment, among other things, relaxes certain financial covenants, increases the applicable rate on loans and letters of credit, and sets a LIBOR floor. The effectiveness of the amendment is conditioned, among other things, on the repayment of at least $30 million of loans under the credit agreement no later than August 14, 2008. Such amount is expected to come from a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds of an equity issuance.
The credit agreement agents, certain of the other lenders under the credit agreement, and certain of their respective affiliates have performed or may in the future perform various commercial banking, lending, investment banking, financial advisory, trustee, hedging, or other services for the Company and affiliates, for which they have received or will receive fees and reimbursement of expenses.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We experience changes in interest expense when market interest rates change. Changes in our debt could also increase these risks. Based on debt outstanding at March 29, 2008, a one percentage-point increase in interest rates would result in approximately $1.3 million of additional interest costs annually. As of March 29, 2008 we had no interest rate swaps or caps in place which means our debt is all adjustable-rate debt.
From time to time, we utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge price movements in our aluminum materials. As of March 29, 2008, we had covered approximately 45% of our anticipated needs through August 2008. In April 2008, we entered into aluminum hedging instruments that settle in June 2008 through August 2008 that bring the coverage of our anticipated needs in those months to approximately 70%. Short-term changes in the cost of aluminum, which can be significant, are sometimes passed on to our customers through price increases, however, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to continue to pass on such price increases to our customers or that price increases will not negatively impact sales volume, thereby adversely impacting operating margins. Based on the volume of purchases of aluminum over recent months, a 10% increase in the cost of aluminum would increase cost of sales by $2.3 million, net of the change in the fair value of aluminum hedges.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
A control system, however, no matter how well conceived and operated, can at best provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Additionally, a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected, and due to these inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the design, operation and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purposes of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect to claims and lawsuits. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Although our business and facilities are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulation, environmental regulation does not have a material impact on our operations. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations. As owners and lessees of real property, we can be held liable for the investigation or remediation of contamination on such properties, in some circumstances without regard to whether we knew of or were responsible for such contamination. Our current expenditures with respect to environmental investigation and remediation at our facilities are minimal, although no assurance can be provided that more significant remediation may not be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances or the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions.

ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the quarter ended March 29, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 25,000 shares of our common stock to certain officers, employees and/or former employees upon the exercise of options associated with the Rollover Stock Option Agreement included as Exhibit 10.18 to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2006, Registration No. 333-132365.
