Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Ownership and Business
 
Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Black Diamond Retail, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware; Black Diamond Equipment AG (BDAG), a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland; and Black Diamond Sporting Equipment (ZFTZ) Co. Ltd. (BDEA), a company incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China. Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company” throughout the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company designs, manufactures and sells outdoor recreation equipment for climbing, skiing and related activities to domestic and foreign customers.
 
Unaudited Information
 
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as SEC instructions for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. A significant part of the Company’s business is of a seasonal nature; therefore, the results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 

 
F-6

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
 
The financial statements of BDAG and BDEA are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Under ASC 830, foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate and income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded losses of approximately $551,000 and $366,000, respectively, from transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies. These losses are reflected in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, other than those held at BDAG and BDEA, are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value. The excess of current cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method over the LIFO value of inventories was approximately $1,531,000 and $1,228,000 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Inventories at BDAG and BDEA are stated at the lower of FIFO cost or market value. Inventories for BDAG and BDEA totaled approximately $11,028,000 and $10,605,000 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge currency rate movements on foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows.  The Company enters into forward contracts, option contracts and non-deliverable forwards to manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on a portion of its forecasted foreign currency exposure.  The Company accounts for these derivative contracts in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.  These derivatives are carried at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities.  Changes in fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedge instruments are included in the determination of net income.  For derivative contracts designated as hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the period the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The Company uses operating budgets and cash flow forecasts to estimate future economic exposure and to determine the level and timing of derivative transactions intended to mitigate such exposures in accordance with its risk management polices.
 

 
F-7

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company sponsors a nonqualified stock option plan.  The stock options are accounted for following the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  This guidance requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (typically stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The fair value is estimated using option-pricing models.  The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
 
As allowed under ASC 718, the Company estimates the stock-based compensation for stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires various highly subjective assumptions, including volatility and expected option life.  In addition, pursuant to this guidance, the Company estimates forfeitures when calculating stock-based compensation expense, rather than accounting for forfeitures as incurred, which was the previous method.  If any of these assumptions change significantly, the stock based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from the expense recorded in the current period.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company sells its products pursuant to customer orders or sales contracts entered into with its customers. Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Charges for shipping and handling fees are included in net sales and the corresponding shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Income Taxes
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.  Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of March, 31, 2010, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that quality for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The company conducts its business globally, as a result, the Company and its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions, and are subject to examination for the open tax years of 2006-2008.
 

 
F-8

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
Significant Customers and Foreign Sales
 
During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, one customer accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s net sales. Additionally, one customer’s accounts receivable balance totaled approximately 14% and 12% of the Company’s net accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales to foreign customers were approximately $41,818,000 and $36,184,000 during the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, as required by ASC 855, Subsequent Events.

2. Inventories
 
Inventories consist of the following at March 31 (thousands):

    403       703  
Finished goods
    15,113       17,735  
    $ 19,543     $ 22,860  

3. Revolving Line of Credit
 
During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company restructured its loan agreement with a bank whereby the Company may borrow up to $30,000,000 under a revolving line of credit.  The maturity date of this loan is January 2, 2013.  Of this amount, $25,000,000 of the loan has been committed and approved by the bank.  The remaining $5,000,000 is available provided certain conditions are met.  The loan is collateralized by a security interest in all domestic assets and security interests in the Company’s subsidiary stocks.  Advance rates are based on certain percentages of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory and property and equipment.  Interest, payable monthly, is computed on Ninety Day LIBOR plus 275 to 310 basis points depending on a quarterly determination of the Company’s twelve month trailing EBITDA.
 
The loan contains restrictive debt covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA, a minimum quarterly EBITDA, a maximum amount of funded debt and a minimum working capital amount.  As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.  As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the approximate balance of the loan was $4,863,000 and $15,972,000, respectively.
 
4. Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock Bonus Deferred Compensation Plan
 
The Company maintains a stock bonus deferred compensation plan, under which shares of common stock can be awarded to key employees and outside directors. Under this plan, shares are awarded by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors from the Company’s treasury stock. Awards are subject to vesting schedules as determined by the compensation committee, and deferred compensation is amortized over the vesting period based on the fair value of the common stock as of the grant date.

The Company reported mark-to-market net gains on these contracts of approximately $28,000 and $319,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Forward interest rate swap not designated as hedged instrument
 
During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company held a forward interest rate swap, in an effort to manage interest rate risk on a certain debt instrument with a variable interest rate.  In September 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement with a notional amount of $4,000,000, a maturity date of October 2010, and a fixed rate of 4.54%.  The fair value of the swap as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $101,000 and $242,000, respectively.  This swap does not qualify for hedge account treatment; therefore, the change in the agreement’s fair value has been expensed on the consolidated statement of income.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)
 
Derivative Contracts designated as hedged instruments
 
During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company held foreign exchange option contracts whereby it purchased put options and sold call options.  At the inception of each option, the cost to buy the put would offset the price to sell the call resulting in a zero sum cost to enter the contract.  The Company also held forward exchange contracts.
 
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company held the following hedged contracts:

The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the cash flow of the hedged item.  During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company reported an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $223,000 and $133,000, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of these contracts.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  The three fair value hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2- inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.
 
The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 in the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described above (thousands).

Forward exchange contracts with Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology are based upon models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities.  Forward interest rate swaps with Level 3 inputs to the valuation method are based upon models that use primarily unobservable inputs, such as implied forward and discount curves.
 
Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are reconciled for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as follows (thousands):

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.  Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying values of the Company’s debt obligations also approximate fair value.
 
There was no material effect from the adoption of ASC 820 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
7. Income Taxes
 
The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows for the nine-month periods ended March 31 (thousands):
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Current (provision) benefit:
           
Federal
  $ (2,149 )   $ (1,239 )
State
    (301 )     (174 )
Foreign
    (211 )     162  
      (2,661 )     (1,251 )
Deferred (provision) benefit:
               
Federal
    431       (155 )
State
    60       (22 )
      491       (177 )
Total income tax provision
  $ (2,170 )   $ (1,428 )

The Company’s effective tax rates vary from federal statutory rates primarily due to nondeductible items and statutory exclusions, such as a portion of the Company’s meals and entertainment expenses, state income taxes, income eligible for the extraterritorial income exclusion, federal and state research and development credits, and deductions related to domestic production activities.

7. Income Taxes (continued)
 
The net deferred tax asset (liability) consists of the following as of March 31 (thousands):
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Current deferred taxes:
           
Gross assets
  $ 2,540     $ 2,091  
Gross liabilities
    (316 )     (301 )
Total current deferred taxes
    2,224       1,790  
                 
Noncurrent deferred taxes:
               
Gross assets
    912       798  
Gross liabilities
    (1,546 )     (1,247 )
Total noncurrent deferred taxes
    (634 )     (449 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $ 1,590     $ 1,341  

Deferred taxes are comprised primarily of amounts related to inventory reserves, accelerated depreciation of property and equipment and other reserves and accruals.
 
8. Related Party Transactions
 
During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had sales to an entity controlled by a director and stockholder of the Company totaling approximately $2,940,000 and $3,425,000, respectively. Due to the related nature of these transactions, the amounts received might have been different if similar activities had been undertaken with unrelated parties.
 
At March 31, 2010 and 2009, accounts receivable included approximately $347,000 and $648,000, respectively, due from an entity controlled by a director and stockholder of the Company.
 

 
F-17

 

9. Guarantees
 
In January 2009, the Company provided a guarantee for full and complete payment of any unpaid balance owed to a supplier of the Company’s glove vendor.  The guarantee does not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company has not made any payments related to the guarantee it provides.  The guarantee remains in place until terminated by the Company by providing written notice to the supplier.  Any unpaid balances owed prior to the notice would still be the liability of the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company has not recorded any liability for this guarantee since the estimated fair value of the obligation to stand ready to act as a guarantor is not material and, to date, the Company has not received notification of any amount payable under the terms of the guarantee.
 
10. Subsequent Event
 
The Company signed a letter of intent in February 2010 with Clarus Corporation (Clarus), a publicly traded Delaware corporation, for an exclusive due diligence period of 90 days.  On May 7, 2010, the Board of the Company and Clarus signed a definitive merger agreement, and on May 28, 2010, the Company was acquired by Clarus pursuant to the merger agreement.

In connection with the closing of the merger, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement effective May 28, 2010 with Zions First National Bank, a national banking association and was named as co-borrower on the loan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries (collectively the Company) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 and 2008
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Ownership and Business
 
Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Black Diamond Retail, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware; Black Diamond Equipment AG (BDAG), a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland; and Black Diamond Sporting Equipment (ZFTZ) Co. Ltd. (BDEA), a company incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China. Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company” throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company designs, manufactures and sells outdoor recreation equipment for climbing, skiing and related activities to domestic and foreign customers.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
 
The financial statements of BDAG and BDEA are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Under this Statement, foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate and income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded losses of approximately $363,000 and $258,000, respectively, from transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies. These losses are reflected in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Cash
 
Cash includes all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company records its trade receivables at sales value and establishes a nonspecific reserve for estimated doubtful accounts based on a percentage of sales. In addition, specific reserves are established for customer accounts as known collection problems occur due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts of these specific reserves are estimated by management based on the customer’s financial position, the age of the customer’s receivables and the reasons for any disputes. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reduced by any write-off of uncollectible customer accounts.  Interest is charged on trade receivables that are outstanding beyond the payment terms and is recognized as it is charged.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, other than those held at BDAG and BDEA, are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value. The excess of current cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method over the LIFO value of inventories was approximately $1,062,000 and $1,489,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Inventories at BDAG and BDEA are stated at the lower of FIFO cost or market value. Inventories for BDAG and BDEA totaled approximately $13,974,000 and $10,268,000 as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, recorded goodwill and other assets with indefinite lives were approximately $2,057,000. The Company performed impairment tests based on estimated future cash flows. These tests indicated no impairment.
 
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, other intangible assets with definite lives had a gross value of approximately $68,000 and consisted of value assigned to trademarks, patents and product designs resulting from acquisitions of externally developed technologies. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over a period of five to fifteen years. Accumulated amortization on other intangible assets at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $36,000 and $32,000, respectively.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 20 years, or over the life of the lease, if shorter. Major replacements, which extend the useful lives of equipment, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Normal maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation expense of approximately $2,038,000 and $1,533,000 is included in general and administrative expenses and cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge currency rate movements on foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows.  The Company enters into forward contracts, option contracts and non-deliverable forwards to manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on a portion of its forecasted foreign currency exposure.  The Company accounts for these derivative contracts in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  These derivatives are carried at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities.  Changes in fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedge instruments are included in the determination of net income.  For derivative contracts designated as hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the period the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The Company uses operating budgets and cash flow forecasts to estimate future economic exposure and to determine the level and timing of derivative transactions intended to mitigate such exposures in accordance with its risk management polices.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company sponsors a nonqualified stock option plan.  The stock options are accounted for following the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.  This pronouncement requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (typically stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The fair value is estimated using option-pricing models.  The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
 
As allowed under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimates the stock-based compensation for stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires various highly subjective assumptions, including volatility and expected option life.  In addition, pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimates forfeitures when calculating stock-based compensation expense, rather than accounting for forfeitures as incurred, which was the previous method.  If any of these assumptions change significantly, the stock based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from the expense recorded in the current period.   See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company sells its products pursuant to customer orders or sales contracts entered into with its customers. Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Charges for shipping and handling fees are included in net sales and the corresponding shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Reporting of Taxes Collected
 
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are reported on the net basis and are excluded from sales.

Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total advertising expenses were approximately $1,334,000 and $1,077,000, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total research and development costs were approximately $2,073,000 and $2,280,000, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB interpretation (FIN) No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  FIN 48 interprets the guidance in SFAS No. 109.  Under FIN 48, reporting entities utilize different recognition thresholds and measurement requirements when compared to prior technical literature.  On December 30, 2008, the FASB Staff issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN48-3, Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No.48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises.  As provided by the guidance in FSP FIN 48-3, the Company is not required to implement the provisions of FIN 48 until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  As such, the Company has not implemented those provisions in the 2009 consolidated financial statements.  The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and consolidated financial position.
 
Since the provisions of FIN 48 have not been implemented, the Company continues to account for these positions by following the guidance in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.  Disclosure is not required of a loss contingency involving an unasserted claim or assessment where there has been no manifestation by a potential claimant of an awareness of a possible claim or assessment unless it is considered probable that a claim will be asserted and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable.  Using that guidance, as of June 30, 2009, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financials statements.

Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Risks associated with cash within the United States are mitigated by banking with federally insured, creditworthy institutions. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $392,000 of foreign cash that exceeded foreign government guarantees.  To date, the Company has not experienced a loss or lack of access to its cash; however, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.  In the normal course of business, the Company provides unsecured credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses as considered necessary by management.
 
Significant Customers and Foreign Sales
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, one customer accounted for approximately 12% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. Additionally, two customers’ accounts receivable balances totaled approximately 32% and 25% of the Company’s net accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sales to foreign customers were approximately $43,670,000 and $38,891,000 during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 15, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, as required by SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events.

3. Long-Term Debt, Revolving Lines of Credit and Capital Leases (continued)
 
Subsequent to year end, the Company restructured its loan agreement with a bank whereby the Company may borrow up to $30,000,000 under a revolving line of credit.  The maturity date of this loan is January 2, 2013.  Of this amount, $25,000,000 of the loan has been committed and approved by the bank.  The remaining $5,000,000 is available provided certain conditions are met.  The loan is collateralized by a security interest in all domestic assets and security interests in the Company’s subsidiary stocks.  Advance rates are based on certain percentages of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory and property and equipment.  Interest, payable monthly, is computed on Ninety Day LIBOR plus 275 to 310 basis points depending on a quarterly determination of the Company’s twelve month trailing EBITDA.
 
The loan contains restrictive debt covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA, a minimum quarterly EBITDA, a maximum amount of funded debt and a minimum working capital amount.  As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.  As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the approximate balance of the loan was $12,669,000 and $10,460,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plan
 
The Company has adopted a nonqualified stock option plan (the Plan) under which options may be granted to key employees and directors. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of options granted including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option, and the exercisability of the option.  The terms of awards (including shares granted, vesting periods and price per share) made under this plan are generally at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, but are limited to 17,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. Stock options are granted with an exercise price not less than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant and generally vest over four to five years. As of June 30, 2009, there were 5,300 shares available for future grant under the Plan.

For options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, excepted option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield.  The expected option term represents time until exercise and is based on Company’s historical experience with similar awards, taking into consideration contractual terms, vesting schedules and expected employee behavior.

5. Capital Stock (continued)
 
The expected stock price volatility is based upon historical volatility of similar publicly traded companies, due to the fact that the Company’s stock is not publicly traded.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield rates in effect at the time of the grant. The Company’s expected annual dividend yield is based upon historical experience.  Assumptions are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s experience.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the people who receive equity awards.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Derivative Contracts not designated as hedged instruments
 
As of June 30, 2009, the Company held forward exchange contracts with maturing dates between September and November 2009 to sell 2,500,000 Euro for approximately $3,557,000 and to sell 750,000 Swiss Francs for approximately $702,000.  The Company reported mark-to-market gains on these contracts of approximately $310,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company held forward exchange contracts with maturing dates between September and November 2008 to sell 2,000,000 Euro for approximately $2,937,000 and to sell 1,000,000 Swiss Francs for approximately $921,000.  The Company reported mark-to-market losses on these contracts of approximately $253,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008.
 
As of June 30, 2009 the Company held non-deliverable forward exchange contracts to buy approximately 25,300,000 Chinese Yuan for $4,000,000 with eight monthly contracts maturing between July 2009 and February 2010.  For the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported mark-to-market losses of approximately $353,000.  As of June 30, 2008 the Company held non-deliverable forward exchange contracts to buy approximately 62,000,000 Chinese Yuan for $9,500,000 with nineteen monthly contracts maturing between August 2008 and February 2010.  For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported mark-to-market gains of approximately $15,000.
 
Forward interest rate swap not designated as hedged instrument
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company held a forward interest rate swap, in an effort to manage interest rate risk on a certain debt instrument with a variable interest rate.  In September 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement with a notional amount of $4,000,000, a maturity date of October 2010, and a fixed rate of 4.54%.  The fair value of the swap as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $201,000 and $103,000, respectively.  This swap does not qualify for hedge account treatment; therefore, the change in the agreement’s fair value has been expensed on the consolidated statement of income.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)
 
Derivative Contracts designated as hedged instruments
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company held foreign exchange option contracts whereby it purchased put options and sold call options.  At the inception of each option, the cost to buy the put would offset the price to sell the call resulting in a zero sum cost to enter the contract.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company held put options of 6,550,000 Euro for approximately $5,749,000 and sold call options of 6,550,000 for approximately $5,931,000.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company held put options of 4,750,000 Euro for approximately $7,158,000 and sold call options of 4,750,000 for approximately $7,347,350.
 
As of June 30, 2009, the Company also held forward exchange contracts, with maturing dates between July 2009 and June 2010 to sell the following amounts: 750,000 Swiss Francs for approximately $646,000; 922,000 British Pound for approximately $1,514,000; 2,244,000 Norwegian Kroner for approximately $348,000; and 8,736,000 Euro for approximately $12,238,000.
 
The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the cash flow of the hedged item.  During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reported an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $313,000 and $123,000, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of these contracts.

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  The three fair value hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2- inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.
 
The following table presents the assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of June 30, 2009 in the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described above (thousands).
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

Forward exchange contracts
    -       593       -       593  
Total liabilities
  $ -     $ 593     $ 201     $ 794  

Forward exchange contracts with Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology are based upon models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities.  Forward interest rate swaps with Level 3 inputs to the valuation method are based upon models that use primarily unobservable inputs, such as implied forward and discount curves.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.  Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying values of the Company’s debt obligations also approximate fair value.
 
There was no material effect from the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      (393 )     460  
Total income tax provision
  $ (1,257 )   $ (872 )

The Company’s effective tax rates vary from federal statutory rates primarily due to nondeductible items and statutory exclusions, such as a portion of the Company’s meals and entertainment expenses, state income taxes, income eligible for the extraterritorial income exclusion, federal and state research and development credits, and deductions related to domestic production activities.

  $ 2,186  

10. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is involved, periodically, in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
 
11. Profit Sharing Plan
 
Substantially all full-time employees in the United States over the age of 21 are covered under the Company’s profit sharing retirement savings plan. Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of management and the Directors of the Company. There was no contribution made for the year ended June 30, 2009.  For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company contributed approximately $91,000 to the plan.

12. Related Party Transactions
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had sales to an entity controlled by a director and stockholder of the Company totaling approximately $3,625,000 and $2,663,000, respectively. Due to the related nature of these transactions, the amounts received might have been different if similar activities had been undertaken with unrelated parties.
 
At June 30, 2009 and 2008, accounts receivable included approximately $81,000 and $143,000, respectively, due from an entity controlled by a director and stockholder of the Company.
 
13. Guarantees
 
In January 2009, the Company provided a guarantee for full and complete payment of any unpaid balance owed to a supplier of the Company’s glove vendor.  The guarantee does not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not made any payments related to the guarantee it provides.  The guarantee remains in place until terminated by the Company by providing written notice to the supplier.  Any unpaid balances owed prior to the notice would still be the liability of the Company.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not recorded any liability for this guarantee since the estimated fair value of the obligation to stand ready to act as a guarantor is not material and, to date, the Company has not received notification of any amount payable under the terms of the guarantee.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2008 and 2007


1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Ownership and Business
 
Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Black Diamond Retail, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware; Black Diamond Equipment AG (BDAG), a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland; and Black Diamond Sporting Equipment (ZFTZ) Co. Ltd. (BDEA), a company incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China. Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company” throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company designs, manufactures and sells outdoor recreation equipment for climbing, skiing and related activities to domestic and foreign customers.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
 
The financial statements of BDAG and BDEA are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Under this Statement, foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate and income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded (losses) gains of approximately ($258,000) and $151,000, respectively, from transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies. These gains are reflected in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Cash
 
Cash includes all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company records its trade receivables at sales value and establishes a nonspecific reserve for estimated doubtful accounts based on a percentage of sales. In addition, specific reserves are established for customer accounts as known collection problems occur due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts of these specific reserves are estimated by management based on the customer’s financial position, the age of the customer’s receivables and the reasons for any disputes. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reduced by any write-off of uncollectible customer accounts.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, other than those held at BDAG and BDEA, are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value. The excess of current cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method over the LIFO value of inventories was approximately $1,489,000 and $601,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Inventories at BDAG and BDEA are stated at the lower of FIFO cost or market value. Inventories for BDAG and BDEA totaled approximately $10,268,000 and $3,512,000 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, goodwill is tested annually for impairment. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, recorded goodwill was approximately $1,160,000. The Company performed impairment tests on its goodwill based on estimated future cash flows. These tests indicated no impairment.
 
As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, other intangible assets had a gross value of approximately $68,000, and consisted of value assigned to trademarks, patents and product designs resulting from acquisitions of externally developed technologies. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over a period of five to fifteen years. Accumulated amortization on other intangible assets at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $32,000 and $25,000, respectively. The Company performed impairment tests on its other intangible assets based on estimated future cash flows. These tests indicated no impairment as of June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 20 years, or over the life of the lease, if shorter, for leasehold improvements. Major replacements, which extend the useful lives of equipment, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Normal maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation expense of approximately $1,533,000 and $1,200,000 is included in general and administrative expenses and cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge currency rate movements on foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows.  The Company enters into forward contracts, option contracts and non-deliverable forwards to manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on a portion of its forecasted foreign currency exposure.  The Company accounts for these derivative contracts in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  These derivatives are carried at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  Changes in fair value of the derivatives not designed as hedge instruments are included in the determination of net income.  For derivative contracts designated as hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the period the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The Company uses operating budgets and cash flow forecasts to estimate future economic exposure and to determine the level and timing of derivative transactions intended to mitigate such exposures in accordance with its risk management polices.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  This pronouncement requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (typically stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The fair value is estimated using option-pricing models.  The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  The Company has granted options since adopting this standard.  Under SFAS No. 123(R)’s prospective transition method, the Company continues to account for previously-issued options for which the vesting period is not complete using the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25.
 
As allowed under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimates the stock-based compensation for stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires various highly subjective assumptions, including volatility and expected option life.  In addition, pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimates forfeitures when calculating stock-based compensation expense, rather than accounting for forfeitures as incurred, which was the previous method.  If any of these assumptions change significantly, the stock based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from the expense recorded in the current period.   See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company sells its products pursuant to customer orders or sales contracts entered into with its customers. Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Charges for shipping and handling fees are included in net sales and the corresponding shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
Reporting of Taxes Collected
 
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are reported on the net basis and are excluded from sales.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total advertising expenses were approximately $1,077,000 and $1,068,000, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total research and development costs were approximately $2,280,000 and $1,999,000, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Risks associated with cash are mitigated by banking with federally insured, creditworthy institutions. In the normal course of business, the Company provides unsecured credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses as considered necessary by management.

3. Long-Term Debt, Revolving Lines of Credit and Capital Leases (continued)
 
In August 2007, the Company restructured its loan agreement on a revolving line of credit. This increased the maximum amount the Company may borrow from $19,000,000 to $20,000,000.  As of the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the approximate balance was $10,460,000 and $9,398,000, respectively. Current advances under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the bank’s prime interest rate less 0.65%. The interest rate is adjusted quarterly based on certain financial ratios. The revolving line of credit expires October 1, 2014 and is unsecured, provided that certain financial ratios are maintained at levels outlined in the credit agreement.
 
The revolving line of credit contains certain restrictive debt covenants that require the Company to maintain a specified ratio of liabilities to tangible net worth, a minimum current ratio, and a minimum consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Stock Option Plan
 
The Company has adopted a nonqualified stock option plan (the Plan) under which options may be granted to key employees and directors. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of options granted including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option, and the exercisability of the option.  The terms of awards (including shares granted, vesting periods and price per share) made under this plan are generally at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, but are limited to 12,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. Stock options are granted with an exercise price not less than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant and generally vest over four to five years. As of June 30, 2008, there were 2,452 shares available for future grant under the Plan.

The intrinsic value of all options exercised for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $56,000 and $20,000, respectively.  As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable were approximately $736,000  and $445,000, respectively.
 
For options granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, excepted option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield.  The expected option term represents time until exercise and is based on Company’s historical experience with similar awards, taking into consideration contractual terms, vesting schedules and expected employee behavior.

The expected stock price volatility is based upon historical volatility of similar publicly traded companies, due to the fact that the Company’s stock is not publicly traded.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield rates in effect at the time of the grant. The Company’s expected annual dividend yield is based upon historical experience.  Assumptions are evaluated and revised as necessary to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s experience.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the people who receive equity awards.
