The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared reflecting all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, the results of operations and cash flow and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year-end and are subject to year-end adjustments, and audit by independent public accountants. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2002 annual report.
The Company utilizes a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday nearest the end of June. The fiscal years ending June 29, 2002 and June 28, 2003 each contain 52 weeks. Both three-month periods ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 contained 13 weeks.
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for the Company in fiscal 2003. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to impairment tests at least annually in accordance with SFAS 142. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their contractual lives.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 resulted in an increase in net earnings of approximately $237,000 ($0.05 per diluted share) per year. The Company performed the required impairment tests of goodwill as of the first day of fiscal 2003 and determined that the recorded goodwill was not impaired.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS 146 requires that costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Costs covered by this standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 and is not expected to have a material impact in the results of operations or financial position.
The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to modify a portion of the variable rate revolving line of credit to a fixed rate obligation, thereby reducing the exposure to market rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap agreement is designated as a hedge, and effectiveness is determined by matching the principal balance and terms with that specific obligation. Amounts currently due to or from interest-rate-swap-counter parties are recorded in interest expense in the period in which they accrue. The derivative was recognized as a liability on the balance sheet at its fair value of $2,462,329 at September 28, 2002 and $1,602,158 at June 29, 2002.

The Company has 6,000,000 shares of common stock and 4,000,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized. All of the stock is $2 par/share.

During fiscal 2000, the Company offered its former powder coat facility for sale. As a result of this decision, the related assets of $1,779,405 were transferred to other assets and a loss of $105,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 based upon a buy/sell agreement. The purchaser was unable to close the transaction and the building remained listed with a real estate broker. In addition, the Company had listed a former facility in Muncie, Indiana for sale. Based upon new information obtained during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 regarding the current fair market value of the facilities held for sale, the Company recorded an additional impairment loss of $300,000 pre-tax. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, both facilities were sold. No additional losses were recorded upon the ultimate sale of the facilities.
In September 1998 when the Company sold The Hirsh Company, the purchaser assumed the lease for the facility located in Skokie, Illinois. The Company guaranteed all of the lease obligations to the landlord through the expiration of the lease in August 2000. During fiscal 2000, the purchaser defaulted on the lease agreement. In May 2000, the landlord filed suit in the Cook County, Illinois Circuit Court against the purchaser and the Company as the guarantor. The claim is for unpaid rent, unpaid property taxes, building repairs and legal costs. On September 25, 2002, a settlement agreement was reached among the parties. Under the settlement, the Company will make a cash payment to the plaintiff in the amount of $300,000, which had been previously accrued on the balance sheet.
The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CCRA”) has performed an audit of the Company’s sales to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Knape & Vogt Canada. Preliminary results from a joint review by the Company and its customs broker indicate that the Company will be liable for certain customs transactions, however, the amount of any such potential liability is unknown at this time. The Company is defending its position that Knape & Vogt Canada is the importer of record for all Knape & Vogt goods shipped into Canada and management believes, that based on the information available at this time, any liability owed to the CCRA will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.
The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business.

Certain matters discussed in this section include forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “goal,” “think,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning future revenue and net income growth. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which would cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date of this report.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were $31.0 million compared to $33.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The decline in net sales of 6.3% reflects the start-up of a consignment inventory program in one market channel of the Home and Commercial division, along with the continued economic downturn in the office furniture market.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Home and Commercial division had net sales of $21.4 million compared to $22.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The launch of the consignment inventory program resulted in a one-time reduction of gross sales of approximately $1.5 million. While the start of the program lowered sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, management believes that it will strengthen KV’s position in this key market channel and will ultimately lead to expanded sales opportunities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company began to realize sales from its recently introduced new products in this market including the 4 X 4 Pocket Door ™ drawer slide, the Fins & Bins™ and the Wine Wall™.
The Office Products division had net sales of $9.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $10.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This period over period decline of approximately 12% reflects the continued downturn in the office furniture industry as a whole, as seen in the BIFMA results for the months of July and August 2002, which showed a decline of approximately 15% in shipments. Despite the downturn in this market, the idea@WORK™ product line continued to show sales growth in the first quarter. The increased sales growth of this key product line reflected a gain in market share, along with sales from new products, such as the Mantis™ flat screen monitor arm and the Keynetix™2 adjustable keyboard.
In total, the Company had new product sales of $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $1.3 million in fiscal 2002.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 22.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 21.9% for the same period in the prior year. The lower sales volumes in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 made it more difficult for the Company to fully leverage its fixed overhead costs, however, the Company has been successful in maintaining its focus on lean manufacturing and lowering its costs. In addition, the gross margins have benefited from the sales of more ergonomic and Real Solutions For Real Life™ products, which have a higher profit margin.
Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, for the first quarter ended September 28, 2002, were 19.8% compared to 16.5% in the same period in the prior year. The increase from the prior year was due to the higher operating costs associated with the ergonomic product line combined with the Company’s advertising and marketing costs incurred to launch new products in both of its divisions. The Company has also incurred costs to reintroduce its line of kitchen and bath accessories under the Real Solutions For Real Life logo.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded $271,325 pre-tax of severance costs, primarily related to the resignation of two of its executive officers in August 2002.

Interest expense was $357,436 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $400,535 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to the lower level of borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
Other miscellaneous income was $38,236 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to $24,465 in the prior year. The income represents royalties payments made by a third party on certain precision drawer slide patents.
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2002, was 37.7% compared with the rate of 35.1% for the same period in the prior year. The higher rate reflects the impact of foreign tax rates and certain increases in state income tax rates.
For the quarter ended September 28, 2002, net income was $194,963 or $0.04 per diluted share compared to $905,628 or $0.20 per diluted share for the first quarter of last year. The decrease in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to the lower sales volume and higher selling costs.
Net cash from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2003 provided $2,202,599 as compared to $4,459,916 for the first three months of fiscal 2002. The lower cash flow from operating activities reflects lower earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. In addition, lower sales volumes during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 resulted in a lower level of purchases from the Company’s vendors, which reduced the accounts payable balance.
Capital expenditures totaled $1,014,967 for the three months ended September 28, 2002, compared to $1,488,032 for the three months ended September 29, 2001. The fiscal 2003 capital expenditures represented investments in tooling for new products, including the Hopper™ and certain precision drawer slides, along with investment in our web-based customer service application. There were no significant capital expenditure commitments at September 28, 2002. Capital expenditures are anticipated to remain at approximately the same level as depreciation.
The long-term debt balance has remained consistent at $20,000,000, when compared to June 29, 2002.
Anticipated cash flows from operations and available balances on the revolving credit line are expected to be adequate to fund working capital, capital expenditures, stock repurchases and dividend payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in the foreign currency exchange rate as measured against the U.S. dollar and changes in U.S. interest rates. The Company holds a derivative instrument in the form of an interest rate swap, which is viewed as a risk management tool and is not used for trading or speculative purposes. The intent of the interest rate swap is to effectively fix the interest rate on part of the borrowings under the Company’s variable rate revolving credit agreement. The derivative was recognized as a liability on the balance sheet at its fair value of $2,462,329 at September 28, 2002 and $1,602,158 at June 29, 2002.
Quantitative disclosures relating to financial instruments and debt are included in the tables below.
The following table provides information on the Company’s fixed maturity investments as of September 28, 2002 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table also presents the corresponding interest rate swap on this debt. Since the interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on the notional amount of debt, changes in interest rates have no current effect on the interest expense recorded by the Company on the portion of the debt covered by the interest rate swap.
Liability Amount Maturity Date - ------------------ --------- ------------- Variable rate revolving credit agreement $20,000,000 November 1, 2004 First $20,000,000 at an interest rate of 1.805% plus weighted average credit spread of .625% Interest Rate Swap - ------------------ Notional amount $20,000,000 June 1, 2006 Pay fixed/Receive variable - 1.80625% Pay fixed interest rate - 6.25%
The Company has a sales office located in Canada. Sales are typically denominated in Canadian dollars, thereby creating exposures to changes in exchange rates. The changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate may positively or negatively affect the Company's sales, gross margins and retained earnings. The Company attempts to minimize currency exposure through working capital management. The Company does not hedge its exposure to translation gains and losses relating to foreign currency net asset exposures.

Cummings, have reviewed and evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report (the "Evaluation Date")), and have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are appropriate and that no changes are required at this time. |
|
| (b) | Changes in Internal Controls There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken. |

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
| In September 1998 when the Company sold The Hirsh Company, the purchaser assumed the lease for the facility located in Skokie, Illinois. The Company guaranteed all of the lease obligations to the landlord through the expiration of the lease in August 2000. During fiscal 2000, the purchaser defaulted on the lease agreement. In May 2000, the landlord filed suit in the Cook County, Illinois Circuit Court against the purchaser and the Company as the guarantor. The claim is for unpaid rent, unpaid property taxes, building repairs and legal costs. On September 25, 2002, a settlement agreement was reached among the parties. Under the settlement, the Company will make a cash payment to the plaintiff in the amount of $300,000, which had been previously accrued on the balance sheet. |
