Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2019

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. The balance sheet at January 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Note 2. Seasonality

The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has generally relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are educational institutions and government entities, which tend to pay accounts receivable slower than commercial customers.

The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs and stocking inventory.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 - Leases, as of February 1, 2019, using transition relief to the modified retrospective approach. The transition relief to the modified retrospective approach allows the recording of existing leases at adoption and recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date. As a result, the Company did not restate comparative periods in transition to ASC 842 and instead reported comparative periods under ASC 840 - Leases. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. Further, the Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The Company has elected to account for leases with an original term of 12 months or less that do not contain a purchase option as short-term leases.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $23.9 million and $25.6 million respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities was due to previous deferred rent balances that were removed and offset against the ROU asset under ASC 842. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our interim unaudited consolidated statement of operations, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. See Note 6 for additional disclosures.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not have any finance leases, as a lessee, and no long-term leases for which it is the lessor.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and reduced by lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate, as a single lease component for the following asset classes: (i) Buildings, (ii) Equipment, and (iii) Automobiles.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock compensation (Topic 718) which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard did not materially impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows and Statement of Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Recently Issued Accounting Updates

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for measuring and recognizing credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The adoption date, as modified by the recently issued ASU 2019-10 discussed below, will be for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company does not believe there will be a material impact to the financial statements as a result of adopting this ASU.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates. ASU 2019-10 moves the effective date for certain previously issued amendments to later dates, depending on the filing status of the respective entity. Specifically, due to the amendment and the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company, the new effective dates for relevant previously issued amendments not yet adopted by the Company relate to ASU 2016-13 as described above.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. For public companies the ASU removes disclosure requirements for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The ASU adds the disclosure requirement for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe there will be a material impact to the financial statements as a result of adopting this ASU.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers”

On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 with no significant impact to its financial position or results of operations, using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after February 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606. The Company had no adjustment to opening retained earnings as of February 1, 2018 as a result of adopting ASC Topic 606. The adoption of the standard did not materially impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders. Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board ("FOB") destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.

The Company generates revenue primarily by manufacturing and distributing products through resellers and direct-to-customers. Control transfers to both resellers and direct customers at a point in time when the delivery process is complete as determined by the corresponding shipping terms. Therefore, we do not consider them to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.

For product produced by and sourced from third parties, management has determined that it is the principal in all cases, since it (i) bears primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to the customer; (ii) bears inventory risk before and/or after the good or service is transferred to the customer; and (iii) has discretion in establishing the price for the sale of good or service to the customer.

Note 5. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and includes material, labor and factory overhead. The Company maintains valuation allowances for estimated slow-moving and obsolete inventory to reflect the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value. Valuation allowances for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are determined through a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving product and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional valuation allowances may

be required. Due to reductions in sales volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

The following table presents breakdown of the Company’s inventories as of October 31, 2019, January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018:



	10/31/2019		1/31/2019		10/31/2018

Inventories	$	42,907	$	47,289	$	42,670

Management continually monitors production costs, material costs and inventory levels to determine that inventories are fairly stated.

Note 6. Leases

The Company has operating leases on real property, equipment, and automobiles that expire at various dates. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses classification of the lease at commencement. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, as a lessee. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable, or the incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments using company specific credit spreads. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has an operating lease for its corporate office, manufacturing and distribution facility located in Torrance, CA, currently with a remaining lease term through April 30, 2025. The Company leases equipment under a 5-year operating lease arrangement. The Company has the option of buying the assets at the end of the lease period at a price that does not result in the Company being reasonably certain of exercising the option. In addition, the Company leases trucks, automobiles, and forklifts under operating leases that include certain fleet management and maintenance services. Certain of the leases contain renewal or purchase options and require payment for property taxes and insurance. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis based on the contractual lease payments. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the applicable lease, and related tenant allowances are recorded as a reduction to the ROU asset.

In accordance with ASC 842, quantitative information regarding our leases is as follows:



	Three-Months Ended			Nine-Months Ended

The Company has a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (“PNC”). The credit agreement has been amended twenty times since it’s origination in 2011 through fiscal 2019, which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement for three years until March 19, 2023.

The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based line of credit that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus $15,000,000 from January 1 through June 30 of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers', as defined, personal property and certain of the Borrowers' real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than March 19, 2023, and the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers' option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 0.75% to 1.25%, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.75% to 2.25%, in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrowers at the end of each fiscal quarter and may be increased at PNC's option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans. The interest rate at October 31, 2019 was 5.75%.

On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 17, which amended the Credit Agreement by (i) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement for three years until March 19, 2023. In connection with the Seventeenth Amendment, the Borrowers also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable extension fee of $250,000.

In March 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 19 which, among other things, (i) increased the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount to $65,000,000 with seasonal adjustments to the credit limit and subject to borrowing base limitations, (ii) increased seasonal advance to $15,000,000 from January to July of each year, (iii) increased equipment loan to $2,000,000, (iv) to reduce borrowings under the line to less than or equal to $10,000,000 for a period of 30 consecutive days during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In connection with Amendment No. 19, the Borrowers also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $24,000. The clean-down provision allows the Company to maintain a minimum outstanding balance to be carried on an uninterrupted period extending beyond one year and ultimately due at the scheduled maturity date in March 2023. As a result of Amendment No. 19, the clean-down limit was increased to $10,000,000, thereby allowing the Company to refinance an additional $2,000,000 of its short-term borrowings under the line of credit on a long-term basis at January 31, 2019.

Events of default (subject to certain cure periods and other limitations) under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the violation of terms, covenants, representations or warranties in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, (iii) any event of default under

agreements governing certain indebtedness of the Borrowers and certain defaults by the Borrowers under other agreements that would materially adversely affect the Borrowers, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Borrowers, (v) judgments or judicial actions against the Borrowers in excess of $250,000, subject to certain conditions, (vi) the failure of the Company to comply with Pension Benefit Plans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (vii) the invalidity of loan documents pertaining to the Credit Agreement, (viii) a change of control of the Borrowers and (ix) the interruption of operations of any of the Borrowers' manufacturing facilities for five consecutive days during the peak season or 15 consecutive days during any other time, subject to certain conditions. For the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company was in violation of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio resulting in an Event of Default.

In April 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 20 which, among other things, waived the covenant violation for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, amended the minimum EBITDA covenant and the fixed charge coverage ratio for fiscal 2020, and eliminated the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock commencing on February 1, 2019 and ending on January 31, 2020. The fixed charge coverage ratio is as follows: (i) for the consecutive two fiscal quarter period ending July 31, 2019, 2.25 to 1.00, and (ii) for each consecutive four fiscal quarter period of Borrowers ending thereafter, 1.10 to 1.00. Minimum EBITDA for the three consecutive fiscal month period ending on April 30, 2019, may not be less than (negative) $5,000,000. In addition, certain restrictions were placed upon the Company’s capital expenditures limiting the amount: (a) in the first fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2019 in an aggregate amount in excess of $900,000, (b) in the consecutive two fiscal quarter periods ending July 31, 2019 in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,900,000, (c) in the consecutive three fiscal quarter period ended October 31, 2019 in an aggregate amount in excess of (i) $3,900,000, if an only if, the Borrowers’ EBITDA for the consecutive two fiscal quarter period ending July 31, 2019 exceeds $8,500,000 or (ii) $2,900,000 if Borrowers’ EBITDA for such period is less than or equal to $8,500,000 and (d) in the consecutive four fiscal quarter period ending January 31, 2020 or any fiscal year thereafter, in an aggregate amount for all Borrowers in excess of $8,000,000. In connection with Amendment No. 20 the Borrowers also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $125,000. The Company believes that normal operating cash flow will allow it to meet the clean down requirement with no adverse impact on the Company's liquidity. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of October 31, 2019.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and many of the representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects upon each borrowing, which the Borrowers expect to occur on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that the Borrowers will be able to comply with all such covenants and be able to continue to make such representations and warranties on an ongoing basis.

The Company's line of credit with PNC is structured to provide seasonal credit availability during the Company's peak summer season. Approximately $10,700,000 was available for borrowing as of October 31, 2019.

Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2019 and 2018, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company maintains a partial valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets that the Company does not believe it is more-likely-than-not to realize.

The January 31, 2016 and subsequent years remain open for examination by the IRS and state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under any state examination. The Company is currently under IRS examination for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 Federal tax return.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company's two stock plans are the 2019 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and the 2011 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”).

Under the 2019 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares to its employees in the form of restricted stock units and non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock awards. Restricted stock units and awards granted under the 2019 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units or awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the units or awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the units or awards granted. During the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2019, the Company granted 228,000 units, vested 0 shares according to their terms and forfeited 0 shares under the 2019 Plan. As of October 31, 2019, there were approximately 772,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.

Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to its employees in the form of restricted stock units and non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock awards. Restricted stock units and awards granted under the 2011 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units or awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the units or awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the units or awards granted. During the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2019, the Company granted 59,385 restricted awards to non-employee directors and 260,000 units to its employees; vested 55,555 stock awards and 168,000 units according to their terms and forfeited 24,000 stock units under the 2011 Plan. As of October 31, 2019, there were approximately 892 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.

During the three months ended October 31, 2019, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $74,000 and $189,000, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $60,000 and $175,000, respectively.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $190,000 and $496,000, respectively. During the nine months ended October 31, 2018, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $178,000 and $495,000, respectively.

As of October 31, 2019, there was $3,073,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

Note 11. Statement of Changes in Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s Credit Agreement with PNC currently restricts the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company's capital stock through January 31, 2020. The Company did not declare a cash dividend during quarter ended October 31, 2019. The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.015 per share, payable January 10, 2019 to shareholders of record as of December 27, 2018, during the same period last year.

Note 12. Retirement Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries cover certain employees under a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, entitled the Virco Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”). Benefits under the Employees Retirement Plan are based on years of service and career average earnings. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under the Employees Retirement Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003. There is no service cost incurred under this plan.

The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Retirement Plan (the “VIP Plan”). The VIP Plan provides a benefit of up to 50% of average compensation for the last 5 years in the VIP Plan, offset by benefits earned under the Pension Plan. As more fully described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen since December 31, 2003. There is no service cost incurred under this plan.

The net periodic pension cost for the Pension Plan and the VIP Plan for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

401(k) Retirement Plan

The Company’s retirement plan, which covers all U.S. employees, allows participants to defer from 1% to 75% of their eligible compensation through a 401(k)-retirement program. The plan includes Virco stock as one of the investment options. At October 31, 2019 and 2018, the plan held 710,319 shares and 646,984 shares of Virco stock, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, the compensation costs incurred for employer match was 204,000 and 190,000, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, the compensation costs incurred for employer match was $578,000 and $553,000, respectively.

Note 13. Warranty Accrual

The Company provides an assurance type warranty against all substantial defects in material and workmanship. The standard warranty offered on products sold through January 31, 2013 is 10 years. Effective February 1, 2014, the Company modified its warranty to a limited lifetime warranty. The warranty effective February 1, 2014 is not anticipated to have a significant effect on warranty expense. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company modified the warranty offered to provide specific warranty periods by product component, with no warranty period longer than ten years. The Company’s warranty is not a guarantee of service life, which depends upon events outside the Company’s control and may be different from the warranty period. The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both product sales data and an analysis of actual warranty claims incurred.

The following is a summary of the Company’s warranty-claim activity for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Note 14. Contingencies

The Company has a self-insured retention for product and general liability losses up to $250,000 per occurrence, workers’ compensation liability losses up to $250,000 per occurrence and for automobile liability losses up to $50,000 per occurrence. The Company has purchased insurance to cover losses in excess of the retention up to a limit of $30,000,000. The Company has obtained an actuarial estimate of its total expected future losses for liability claims and recorded a liability equal to the net present value.

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings resulting from operations in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of management, in consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate outcome of all such matters will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15. Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. We have reclassified the pension costs from selling, general and administrative expense to non-operating pension expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018. This reclassification had no impact upon the reported net income. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 16. Delivery Costs

For the quarter ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping and classroom delivery costs of approximately $7,897,000, $9,295,000, respectively, were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping and classroom delivery costs of approximately $17,154,000, $18,406,000, respectively, were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 17. Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Management concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended October 31, 2019

For the three months ended October 31, 2019, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $5,578,000 on sales of $66,998,000 compared to a pre-tax profit of $4,035,000 on sales of $76,809,000 in the prior year.

Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2019 decreased by $9,811,000 or 12.8%, compared to the same period last year. The Company began the quarter with an order backlog that was more than $18 million lower than the prior year due to slow order rates for the first and second quarters. Order rates for the first six months declined by approximately 14% compared to the same period last year. Order rates for the third quarter reflected a significant improvement, increasing by over 27% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenue for the quarter was attributable to the reduced beginning backlog, partially offset by the increased order rate for the third quarter. Order backlog at October 31, 2019 is approximately $19.0 million and is $3 million greater than the prior year.

The third quarter results reflect continued seasonality of the Company’s business. School districts in many parts of the Country have accelerated the beginning of back to school to mid-August, impacting the summer delivery window. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Company substantially revised its production stocking program in order to facilitate the timeliness and completeness of order fulfillment during the summer. This new production stocking program was very successful with an improvement in the timeliness of deliveries and a greater portion of orders filled in the second quarter.

In the prior year the Company was adversely affected by increased cost of commodities, particularly steel and components imported from China. In addition, the Company was adversely impacted by increased costs for labor, employee benefits, and freight. The Company anticipated continued pressure on these costs during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, including additional tariff related costs incurred in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. To compensate for these increased costs, the Company raised selling prices at the beginning of the year. The amount of price increase varied based upon the type of product and competitive considerations, but no product increased by less than 10%. Gross margin for the third quarter was 40.1% compared to 34.4% in the prior year. The gross margin was favorably affected by the price increase described above, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing overhead variances incurred when production rates declined in response to the decrease in unit volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2019 decreased by $993,000 compared to the same period last year and increased as a percentage of sales to 30.6% from 28.0%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to decreased freight expense.

Interest expense decreased by $27,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year. The Company has borrowed less money to finance seasonal working capital in the third quarter.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2019

For the nine months ended October 31, 2019, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $10,177,000 on net sales of $164,250,000 compared to a pre-tax profit of $6,594,000 on net sales of $174,180,000 in the same period last year. Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 decreased by approximately $9,930,000 or 5.7% compared to the same period last year. This net decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in unit volume offset by an increase in selling prices. The Company began the year with a backlog of orders that was approximately $4.2 million greater than the prior year. Order rates for the first six months decreased by approximately 14% compared to the prior year. Order rates for the third quarter reflected a significant improvement, increasing by over 27% compared to the same period last year. Because the third quarter is traditionally a slow period for orders, strong third quarter order rates mitigated the reduction for the first two quarters, but as of October 31, 2019 orders trailed the prior year by approximately $13 million, a 7.3% reduction compared to the same period last year.

As described above the Company increased selling prices at the beginning of the year to recover increased commodity and other costs incurred during 2018. The impact of the price increase was not fully effective until the second quarter as the beginning backlog at January 31, 2019 reflected selling prices in effect prior to the price increase.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales improved to 39.4% for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 compared to 35.2% in the same period last year. The gross margin was favorably affected by the price increase described above, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing overhead variances incurred when production rates declined in response to the decrease in unit volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 decreased by approximately $186,000 compared to the same period last year and increased as a percentage of sales by 1.7%.

Interest expense increased by $312,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year. The Company has borrowed slightly more money to finance seasonal working capital in the first six months of the year and increased as a result of higher interest rates.

Income Taxes for the three- and nine-months ended October 31, 2019

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2019 is greater than the prior year, primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Approximately 50% of the Company's annual sales volume is shipped in the months of June through August of each year. The Company traditionally manufactures large quantities of inventory during the first and second quarters of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. In addition, the Company finances a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. During the last two months of the third quarter, the Company typically repays significant portions of the seasonal working capital borrowed to finance the summer activity. Accounts receivable increased by $4,504,000 from January 31, 2019 to October 31, 2019. This compares to prior year when accounts receivable grew by $12,896,000 during the same period. The accounts receivable balance was approximately $6.6 million lower at October 31, 2019 than at October 31, 2018 due to lower third quarter sales. The decrease in accounts receivable at October 31, 2019 compared to the January 31, 2019, was offset in part by a reduction in account payable.

For the first nine months, the Company decreased inventory by approximately $4,382,000 at October 31, 2019 compared to January 31, 2019. This compares to an increase of $613,000 during the same period last year. Inventory at October 31, 2019 was $238,000 greater than the prior year. The increase in inventory compared to the prior year is primarily due an increase in valuation due to increased commodity and tariffs costs.

Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 is slightly higher the same period last year. Borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit with PNC Bank were higher in the first six months of the year.

Capital spending for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 was $2,963,000 compared to $3,319,000 for the same period last year. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank and operating cash flow.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's critical accounting policies are outlined in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

Operating Lease Liabilities

On February 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02-Leases (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective approach and applying the transitional relief allowing entities to initially apply the requirements at the adoption date by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate

on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments using company specific credit spreads. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate used is 6.39%.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $23.9 million and $25.6 million respectively, as of February 1, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 2019, the Company or its representatives have made and may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, without limitation, reports to stockholders, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The words or phrases “anticipates,” “expects,” “will continue,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The results contemplated by the Company's forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results, including without limitation, availability of funding for educational institutions, availability and cost of materials, especially steel, availability and cost of labor, demand for the Company's products, competitive conditions affecting selling prices and margins, capital costs and general economic conditions. Such risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 under the caption "Risk Factors".

The Company's forward-looking statements represent its judgment only on the dates such statements were made. By making any forward-looking statements, the Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk related to its seasonal borrowings used to finance additional inventory and receivables. Rising interest rates may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and cash flows related to its variable-rate bank borrowings under its credit line with PNC. Accordingly, a 100-basis point upward fluctuation in PNC's base rate would have caused the Company to incur additional interest charges of approximately $77,000 and $272,000 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, respectively. The Company would have benefited from a similar interest savings if the base rate were to have fluctuated downward by a like amount.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer along with its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of October 31, 2019.

PART II — Other Information

Virco Mfg. Corporation

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
