NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
As of July 4, 2010, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (the “Company” or “PFCB”) owned and operated 199 full service restaurants throughout the United States under the name P.F. Chang’s China Bistro (the “Bistro”). The Company also owned and operated 167 quick casual restaurants under the name Pei Wei Asian Diner (“Pei Wei”). Additionally, there are four Bistro restaurants in international markets that are operated by business partners under licensing agreements, and two Bistro restaurants operated in Hawaii under a joint venture arrangement in which the Company owns a noncontrolling interest.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 2, 2011.
The consolidated balance sheet at January 3, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests are reported below net income under the heading “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated income statements and shown as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Literature
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — Amended
(Included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU No. 2010-06)
(Included in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”)
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. Entities will be required to separately disclose significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and describe the reasons for the transfers. Entities will also be required to provide information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, entities must provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and disclosures about the valuation techniques used in determining fair value for Level 2 or Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross basis reconciliation for the Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010.

2. Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations include results attributable to 10 Pei Wei restaurants that were closed during the fourth quarter of 2008. Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes both the historical results of operations as well as estimated and actual lease termination costs associated with the 10 closed Pei Wei restaurants.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax is comprised of the following (in thousands):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    July 4,     June 28,     July 4,     June 28,

Includes lease termination charges, deferred rent write-offs upon lease termination and deferred rent amortization.
The Company continues to pursue lease termination agreements with each of the closed Pei Wei restaurants’ landlords as well as potential sub-tenant agreements. Lease termination agreements for seven of the ten locations have been executed as of July 4, 2010.
Activity associated with the lease termination accrual is summarized below (in thousands):

Charges

Ending balance
  $ 1,228     $ 2,276  
 
           
Charges include additional amounts recognized based on availability of new information, which led to updated estimates of anticipated lease termination costs for certain closed locations where the accrual recorded at the time of lease termination was insufficient. Cash payments include settlement payments as well as ongoing rent and other property-related payments. From store closure date through July 4, 2010, the Company has recognized and reported in discontinued operations a total of $4.1 million in lease termination charges for the closed Pei Wei locations. The lease termination accrual is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets with the timing of payments uncertain.
3. Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to PFCB per Share
Basic income from continuing operations attributable to PFCB per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income from continuing operations attributable to PFCB per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities, which includes options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding under the Company’s equity plans and employee stock purchase plan. For the three months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009, 1.0 million and 2.2 million, respectively, of the Company’s options were excluded from the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the six months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009, 1.2 million and 2.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s shares were excluded from the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect.
The Company began paying quarterly variable cash dividends to its shareholders during the second quarter of 2010. The Company’s restricted stock awards are considered participating securities as the awards include non-forfeitable rights to dividends with respect to unvested shares and as such, must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to participating securities, and therefore is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share allocated to common shares. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method resulted in an immaterial difference from the amounts displayed in the consolidated income statements. There were no participating securities for the six months ended June 28, 2009.

7. Long-Term Debt
Credit Facility
The senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which allows for borrowings of up to $75.0 million expires on August 30, 2013 and contains customary representations, warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including a requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, as defined, of 2.5:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of 1.25:1, as well as customary events of default and certain default provisions that could result in acceleration of the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with these restrictions and conditions as of July 4, 2010 as the Company’s leverage ratio was 0.97:1 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.38:1.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s material existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The Company repaid total outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million under the Credit Facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As of July 4, 2010, the Company had $14.1 million committed for the issuance of letters of credit, which is required by insurance companies for the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under the Credit Facility were $60.9 million at July 4, 2010.
Interest Rate Swap
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40.0 million. The purpose of this transaction was to provide a hedge against the effects of changes in interest rates on a portion of the Company’s current variable rate borrowings. The Company had designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of its exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to interest payments on a $40.0 million tranche of floating rate debt.
Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company paid a fixed rate of 3.32% on the $40.0 million notional amount and received payments from its counterparty based on the 1-month LIBOR rate for a term which ended on May 20, 2010. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement were recognized as adjustments to interest expense. The interest rate swap expired on May 20, 2010.

The Company invests excess cash in money market funds and reflects these amounts within cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet at a net value of 1:1 for each dollar invested. Money market investments held by the Company were invested primarily in government backed securities at July 4, 2010.
The Company’s Restoration Plan investments are considered trading securities and are reported at fair value based on third party broker statements. Such amounts are reflected within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments are recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated income statements.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was estimated using the net present value of a series of cash flows on both the fixed and floating legs of the swap and was reflected within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. These cash flows were based on yield curves which take into account the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity and market-based parameters such as interest rates and volatility. The yield curves used in the valuation model are based on published data for counterparties with an AA rating. Market practice in pricing derivatives initially assumes all counterparties have the same credit quality. The Company mitigated derivative credit risk by transacting with highly-rated counterparties. The interest rate swap expired on May 20, 2010. See Note 7 for a discussion of the Company’s interest rate swap.
10. Share-Based Compensation
The Company has granted equity-classified awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and has issued liability-classified awards in the form of performance units, cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and cash-settled stock-based awards (restricted cash units or “RCUs”) to certain employees and directors.
Equity-Classified Awards
Stock options were granted for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Restricted stock and RSUs were granted with the fair value determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards is amortized to expense over the vesting period. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company issued RSUs to members of its Board of Directors.
Liability-Classified Awards
Performance Units
The cash value of the performance units will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the Company’s final average stock price as defined in the agreements, exceeds the strike price. The total value of the performance units is subject to a maximum value of $12.50 per unit. The fair value of the performance units is remeasured at each reporting period until the awards are settled. At July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009, the fair value per performance unit was $7.25 and $5.52, respectively, calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model which incorporates the historical performance, volatility and correlation of the Company’s stock price and the Russell 2000 Index. At July 4, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the recorded liability of the performance units was $4.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. There were no performance unit awards granted during the six months ended July 4, 2010.

 

10


Table of Contents

Total cumulative expense recognized for the performance units from date of grant through July 4, 2010 was $4.2 million based on the current estimated fair value of $7.25 per unit. If the value of the performance units at settlement date is $12.50, the maximum value per unit, the Company would recognize total additional share-based compensation expense of $10.8 million over the remaining term of the award agreements ending on January 1, 2012. The amount and timing of the recognition of additional expense will be dependent on the estimated fair value at each quarterly reporting date. Any increases in award fair value may not occur ratably over the remaining six quarters of the award term; therefore, share-based compensation expense related to the performance units could vary significantly in future periods.
Cash-Settled Awards
The cash value of the SARs will be based on the appreciation, if any, of the Company’s stock price on the date of settlement compared to the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, and the cash value of the RCUs will be based on the Company’s stock price on the date of settlement. The fair value of SARs is equal to the value calculated per the Black-Scholes model and the fair value of RCUs is equal to the sum of the value calculated per the Black-Scholes model and the Company’s stock price at the reporting date. The fair value of SARs and RCUs is remeasured at each reporting period until the awards are settled. At July 4, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the recorded liability of cash-settled awards was $2.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
SARs were granted to a member of the Board of Directors who joined the Board during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. SARs and RCUs were granted to members of the Board of Directors during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. No SARs or RCUs were granted during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
The fair value of the SARs and RCUs was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
                                 
    Three and Six Months Ended     Three and Six Months Ended  
    July 4, 2010     June 28, 2009  
    RCUs     SARs     RCUs     SARs  
Weighted average risk-free interest rate
    0.8 %     1.4 %     3.0 %     2.3 %
Expected life of cash-settled awards (years)
    2.6       4.1       9.9       4.5  
Expected stock volatility
    50.6 %     45.2 %     43.3 %     43.6 %
Expected dividend yield(1)
    0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %
     
(1)  
Unvested SARs and RCUs are eligible to receive cash dividend-equivalents during the vesting period, and as such, no expected dividend yield is included in the fair value assumptions for these awards.
Share-based compensation expense for performance units, SARs and RCUs is recognized ratably over the service period with the impact of updated fair value recognized as cumulative adjustments to share-based compensation expense at the end of each reporting period.

Non-Vested Share-Based Compensation Expense
At July 4, 2010, non-vested share-based compensation for equity-classified awards, net of forfeitures totaled $2.4 million for stock options and $2.9 million for restricted stock and RSUs. This expense will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period, which is approximately 1.5 years for stock options and 1.2 years for restricted stock and RSUs.
At July 4, 2010, non-vested share-based compensation for liability-classified awards (based on current fair value, which is updated each reporting period), totaled $4.5 million for performance units and $3.9 million for RCU and SAR awards. This expense will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period, which is approximately 1.5 years for performance units and 2.1 years for RCU and SAR awards.
11. Segment Reporting
The Company operates primarily in the United States food-service industry and has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s methods of internal reporting and management structure. The Company’s reportable segments are Bistro and Pei Wei. Additionally, licensing fees related to Bistro restaurants operated by business partners pursuant to development and licensing agreements and licensing fees related to a new premium line of frozen entrées operated under a licensing agreement are reported within Shared Services and Other. There were no material amounts of revenues or transfers among reportable segments.

In addition to using consolidated results in evaluating the Company’s financial results, a primary measure used by executive management in assessing the performance of existing restaurant concepts is segment profitability (sometimes referred to as restaurant operating income). Segment profitability is defined as income from operations before general and administrative, preopening and partner investment expenses, but including a deduction for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Because preopening and partner investment expenses are associated with expansion of the Company’s business and vary in timing and magnitude, they make an accurate assessment of ongoing operations more difficult and are therefore excluded. Additionally, general and administrative expenses are only included in the Company’s consolidated financial results as these costs relate to support of both restaurant businesses and are generally not specifically identifiable to individual restaurant operations. As the Company’s expansion is funded entirely from its ongoing restaurant operations, segment profitability is one consideration when determining whether and when to open additional restaurants.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is engaged in various legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also currently under examination by various taxing authorities for years not closed by the statute of limitations. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon the information available at this time, that the outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.
During 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with FRC Balance LLC, d/b/a True Food Kitchen, to provide debt capital for the early-stage development of True Food Kitchen restaurants. The agreement provides for up to a $10.0 million loan facility to develop True Food Kitchen restaurants and can, under certain conditions, be converted by P.F. Chang’s into a majority equity position in True Food Kitchen. As of July 4, 2010, the Company had advanced $1.8 million under the loan facility to True Food Kitchen.
13. Subsequent Events
Cash Dividends
During February 2010, the Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly variable cash dividend based on the Company’s desire to consistently return excess cash flow to its shareholders. The amount of the cash dividend will be computed based on 45% of the Company’s quarterly net income. Based on seasonal fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly net income, the amount of cash dividend payments, which are based on a fixed percentage of net income, may fluctuate between quarters.
Based on the Board of Directors authorization, on July 28, 2010 the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.25 per share which will be paid August 23, 2010 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on August 9, 2010. Based on shares outstanding at July 4, 2010, total dividend payments to be paid during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 will approximate $5.8 million.
Global Brand Development
In July 2010, the Company signed a development and license agreement with International Restaurant Services, Inc., a leading casual dining restaurant operator in Puerto Rico, to develop four restaurants over the next six years. The first location in Puerto Rico is scheduled to open during the first half of fiscal 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended January 3, 2010 contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Some of the statements in this section contain forward—looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this section involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and situations that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Factors that might cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements may include the matters listed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A (a detailed description of which can be found under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Form 10-K) and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, failure of our existing or new restaurants to achieve predicted results; changes in general economic and political conditions that affect consumer spending; changes in government legislation may increase our labor costs; our dependence on the financial performance of restaurants concentrated in certain geographic areas; and intense competition in the restaurant industry. Because we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We own and operate two restaurant concepts in the Asian niche: P.F. Chang’s China Bistro (“Bistro”) and Pei Wei Asian Diner (“Pei Wei”).
Bistro
As of July 4, 2010, we owned and operated 199 full service Bistro restaurants that feature a blend of high quality, Chinese-inspired cuisine and attentive service in a high energy contemporary bistro setting. P.F. Chang’s was formed in early 1996 with the acquisition of the four original Bistro restaurants and the hiring of an experienced management team. Utilizing a partnership management philosophy, we embarked on a strategic expansion of the concept targeted at major metropolitan areas throughout the United States. We own and operate all of our restaurants in the U.S. with the exception of two Bistro restaurants located in Hawaii which are operated under a joint venture arrangement in which we own a noncontrolling interest. Additionally, four international Bistro restaurants were open in Mexico and the Middle East under international development and licensing agreements as of July 4, 2010.
We intend to open four new Bistro restaurants during fiscal 2010, two of which were open by the end of the second quarter of 2010. Our Bistro restaurants typically range in size from 6,000 to 7,500 square feet, and require an average total invested capital of approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million per restaurant (net of estimated tenant incentives). This total capitalized investment includes the capitalized lease value of the property, which can vary greatly depending on the specific trade area. We expect that our planned future restaurants will require, on average, a total cash investment per restaurant of approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million (net of estimated tenant incentives). Preopening expenses are expected to average approximately $350,000 to $400,000 per restaurant during fiscal 2010.
Pei Wei
As of July 4, 2010, we owned and operated 167 quick casual Pei Wei restaurants that serve freshly prepared, wok-seared, contemporary pan-Asian cuisine in a relaxed, warm environment with friendly, attentive counter service and take-out flexibility. We opened our first Pei Wei restaurant in July 2000 in the Phoenix, Arizona area and have expanded the concept significantly since that time.
We intend to open two new Pei Wei restaurants during fiscal 2010, one of which was open by the end of the second quarter of 2010. Our Pei Wei restaurants are generally 2,800 to 3,400 square feet in size and require an average total invested capital of approximately $1.5 million per restaurant (net of estimated tenant incentives). This total capitalized investment cost includes the capitalized lease value of the property, which can vary greatly depending on the specific trade area. We expect that our planned future restaurants will require, on average, a total cash investment per restaurant of approximately $750,000 to $850,000 (net of estimated tenant incentives). Preopening expenses are expected to average approximately $140,000 to $160,000 per restaurant during fiscal 2010.

Global Brand Development
International
We are selectively pursuing international expansion of our Bistro restaurants. During fiscal 2009, we signed two development and licensing agreements with partners who will develop and operate Bistro restaurants in international markets. We also signed one development and licensing agreement with a new partner in early fiscal 2010. Our license agreements typically provide for us to receive an initial territory fee, store opening fees and ongoing royalty revenues based on a percentage of international restaurant sales. Our partners collectively expect to open five to seven restaurants during fiscal 2010.
In July 2010, we signed a development and license agreement with International Restaurant Services, Inc., a leading casual dining restaurant operator in Puerto Rico, to develop four restaurants over the next six years. The first location in Puerto Rico is scheduled to open during the first half of fiscal 2012.
We continue to engage in discussions with additional potential partners regarding expansion of the Bistro into various international markets.
Retail
During 2009, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Unilever to develop and launch a new premium line of frozen Asian-style entrées in the U.S., under the P.F. Chang’s brand. During the second quarter of 2010, the new product line became available in retail outlets. We receive ongoing royalty revenues based on a percentage of product sales, with such percentages escalating over the first three years of the agreement, which we began recognizing during the second quarter of 2010.
Other Ventures
During 2009, we entered into an agreement with FRC Balance LLC, d/b/a True Food Kitchen, to provide debt capital for the early-stage development of True Food Kitchen restaurants. The agreement provides for up to a $10.0 million loan facility to develop True Food Kitchen restaurants and can, under certain conditions, be converted by us into a majority equity position in True Food Kitchen. As of July 4, 2010, we had advanced $1.8 million under the loan facility to True Food Kitchen.
Change in Partnership Structure — Pei Wei
We utilize a partnership philosophy to facilitate the development, leadership and operation of our Pei Wei restaurants. Historically, this philosophy was embodied in a traditional legal partnership structure, which included capital contributions from our partners in exchange for an ownership stake in the profits and losses of our restaurants. Effective April 2010 for new store openings, Pei Wei began employing a different structure to achieve the same goal. Our Market Partners and Regional Vice Presidents (still “partners” in the philosophical, but not legal sense) no longer have a direct ownership stake in the profits and losses of restaurants, but are instead eligible to receive monthly incentive payments based upon the profitability of the restaurants in their region, as well as participate in an incentive program that rewards improvements in the operating performance of the restaurants in their market or region. As a result of these changes, incentive payments made to the individuals participating in the new plan are classified as compensation rather than as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, compensation expense is reflected in the consolidated income statement as general and administrative expense for these Pei Wei operators. Partner investment expense will no longer be recognized for new Pei Wei restaurant openings beginning in April 2010 as a result of this change. The Bistro has been operating under this structure since the beginning of fiscal 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgment. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously reported in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than the change of the following.

Table of Contents

Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based compensation based on fair value measurement guidance. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, for our options and cash-settled liability awards, with the exception of performance units. These assumptions include estimating 1) expected term, 2) common stock price volatility over the expected term and 3) the number of awards that will ultimately not vest (“forfeitures”). For performance units, a Monte Carlo simulation model is used to calculate fair value. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the historical performance, volatility and correlation of our stock price and the Russell 2000 Index.
The cash value of the performance units will be equal to the amount, if any, by which our final average stock price, as defined in the agreements, exceeds the strike price. The strike price will be adjusted, either up or down, based on the percentage change in the Russell 2000 Index during the performance period, as defined in the agreements, which approximates three years. The performance units were granted in February 2009, and since the grant date, the Russell 2000 Index has increased 29% while our stock has appreciated 104% over the same time period.
Total cumulative expense recognized for the performance units from date of grant through July 4, 2010 was $4.2 million based on the current estimated fair value of $7.25 per unit. If the value of the performance units at settlement date is the maximum value per unit of $12.50, we would recognize total additional share-based compensation expense of $10.8 million over the remaining term of the award agreements ending on January 1, 2012. The amount and timing of the recognition of additional expense will be dependent on the estimated fair value at each quarterly reporting date. Any increases in award fair value may not occur ratably over the remaining six quarters of the award term; therefore, share-based compensation expense related to the performance units could vary significantly in future periods.
Additionally, we use assumptions to estimate the expected forfeiture rate related to restricted stock and the cash-settled liability awards in determining the share-based compensation for these awards. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect fair value and our estimates of share-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
Results of Operations
The following tables set forth certain unaudited quarterly information for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. This quarterly information has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, and operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

Revenues
Our revenues are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to incremental new store revenues of $8.1 million, comprised of a full quarter of revenues from the seven new stores that opened the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and revenues generated by the two new Bistro restaurants that opened during the first half of 2010. The increase was partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in revenues for stores open prior to the second quarter of 2009 due to a decline in the average check, which includes the benefit of a one to two percent price increase which went into effect mid-May 2010, partially offset by an increase in overall guest traffic.
Pei Wei: The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to incremental new store revenues of $2.6 million, comprised of a full quarter of revenues from the six new stores that opened the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and revenues generated by the one new Pei Wei restaurant that opened during the first half of 2010. The increase was also due to a $1.3 million increase in revenues for stores open prior to the second quarter of 2009 driven by an increase in overall guest traffic combined with an increase in the average check, which includes the benefit of an approximate one percent price increase which went into effect mid-April 2010.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of food and beverages. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to the benefit of menu price increases and favorable beef pricing partially offset by the impact of greater sales discounts, including the January 2010 happy hour rollout.
Pei Wei: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to favorable beef pricing and the net impact of product mix shifts partially offset by the impact of higher costs related to limited time offer menu items.
Labor
Labor expenses consist of restaurant management salaries, hourly staff payroll costs, other payroll-related items and imputed partner bonus expense. Imputed partner bonus expense represents the portion of restaurant-level operating results that is allocable to certain noncontrolling partners, but is presented as bonus expense for accounting purposes. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the impact of greater sales discounts (principally related to the January 2010 happy hour rollout), higher hourly wage rates, higher health insurance costs and higher state unemployment taxes. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities and, to a lesser extent, improved operational efficiencies.

 

18


Table of Contents

Pei Wei: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales, the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities and lower management incentive accruals. These decreases were partially offset by higher culinary labor costs.
Operating
Operating expenses consist primarily of various restaurant-level costs such as repairs and maintenance, utilities and marketing, certain of which are variable and may fluctuate with revenues. Also, expenditures associated with marketing programs are discretionary in nature and the timing and amount of marketing spend will vary. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to increased marketing spend and higher utilities costs.
Pei Wei: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to increased marketing spend partially offset by the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales.
Occupancy
Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of rent, common area maintenance charges, property and general liability insurance and property taxes. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to higher general liability costs and, to a lesser extent, the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales.
Pei Wei: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to higher property tax expense and, to a lesser extent, higher general liability insurance costs. These increases were offset by the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are comprised of costs associated with corporate and administrative functions that support restaurant development and operations and provide infrastructure to support future growth including, but not limited to, management and staff compensation, employee benefits, travel, legal and professional fees, technology and market research. Realized and unrealized holding gains (losses) related to investments in the Restoration Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, are included within general and administrative expense, with a corresponding offset in interest and other income (expense), net.
Consolidated general and administrative costs decreased primarily due to lower compensation expense resulting from unrealized holding losses associated with investments in the Restoration Plan, lower management salaries due to lower headcount and lower franchise tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by higher health insurance costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of fixed assets, gains and losses on disposal of assets and the amortization of intangible assets, software and non-transferable liquor license fees. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation on restaurants that opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and the first half of 2010. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization remained consistent with prior year primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales and an increase in current year retirements offset by smallwares assets whose costs have been fully expensed.
Pei Wei: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation on restaurants that opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and the first half of 2010. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation related to new digital menu boards installed during fiscal 2009. These increases were partially offset by smallwares assets whose costs have been fully expensed and, to a lesser extent, the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales.

Preopening expenses, which are expensed as incurred, consist of expenses incurred prior to opening a new restaurant and are comprised principally of manager salaries, employee payroll and related training costs. Preopening expenses also include straight-line rent expense for the period between the possession date of leased premises and the restaurant opening date. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Preopening expense increased primarily due to the impact of two new restaurant openings during the second quarter of 2010 compared to no new restaurant openings during the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by the timing of expenses for new restaurant openings scheduled for the remainder of 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.
Pei Wei: Preopening expense decreased primarily due to the timing of expenses for new restaurant openings scheduled for fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.
Partner Investment Expense
Partner investment expense represents the difference between the imputed fair value of noncontrolling interests at the time our partners invest in our restaurants and our partners’ cash contributions for those ownership interests. Additionally, for those interests that are bought out prior to the restaurant reaching maturity (typically after five years of operation), partner investment expense includes a reversal of previously recognized expense for the difference between the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at inception date and the fair value at the date of repurchase, to the extent that the former is greater. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: All partner investment expense activity for the Bistro is related to early buyouts of noncontrolling interests. The change in partner investment expense resulted from having no early buyouts of noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009.
Pei Wei: All partner investment expense activity for Pei Wei is related to the impact of early buyouts of noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest expense primarily consists of interest costs in excess of amounts capitalized related to our outstanding credit line and other borrowings, as well as accretion expense related to our conditional asset retirement obligations. Interest income earned primarily relates to interest-bearing overnight deposits. Realized and unrealized holding gains (losses) related to investments in the Restoration Plan are included within other income (expense), with a corresponding offset in general and administrative expense.
The change in consolidated interest and other income (expense), net was primarily due to $0.4 million of unrealized holding losses during the current year compared to $0.3 million of unrealized holding gains in the prior year associated with investments in the Restoration Plan. Additionally, lower interest expense resulting from the repayment of the entire $40.0 million in outstanding credit line borrowings during the second quarter of 2010 contributed to the change.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, including discrete items and deduction for noncontrolling interests, was 28.7% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 29.7% for the second quarter of 2009. The income tax rate for both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 differed from the expected provision for income taxes, which is derived by applying the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of FICA tip credits. Our effective tax rate for 2010 is expected to be higher than our historic rate due to the impact of income from continuing operations from our non-tipped concept as well as higher anticipated income from operations. Because there are no tipped employees at Pei Wei, as Pei Wei contributes more net income, and if Bistro’s income from operations grows at a rate greater than revenue growth, the impact of Bistro’s tip credit on the company’s effective tax rate will continue to decrease.
Management has evaluated all positive and negative evidence concerning the realizability of deferred tax assets and has determined that, with the exception of a small amount of state net operating losses, we will recognize sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of our net income which is attributable to the collective ownership interests of our noncontrolling partners. In certain of our restaurants, we employ a partnership management structure whereby we have entered into a series of partnership agreements with our regional managers, certain of our general managers and certain of our executive chefs. Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the full year impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts that occurred during fiscal 2009 and, to a lesser extent, the impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring during fiscal 2010. These buyouts reduced the number of noncontrolling interests from 40 at the beginning of fiscal 2009 to 18 as of July 4, 2010.
Pei Wei: The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the impact of 91 noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring since the beginning of fiscal 2009 offset by the impact of higher restaurant net income.

Revenues
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to incremental new store revenues of $16.2 million, comprised of a full six months of revenues from the seven new stores that opened the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and revenues generated by the two new Bistro restaurants that opened during the first half of fiscal 2010. The increase was partially offset by a $14.4 million decrease in revenues for stores open prior to the second quarter of 2009 due to a decline in the average check, which includes the benefit of a one to two percent price increase which went into effect mid-May 2010, partially offset by an increase in overall guest traffic.
Pei Wei: The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to incremental new store revenues of $5.9 million, comprised of a full six months of revenues from the six new stores that opened the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and revenues generated by the one new Pei Wei restaurant that opened during the first half of fiscal 2010. The increase was also due to a $2.8 million increase in revenues for stores open prior to the second quarter of 2009 driven by an increase in overall guest traffic combined with an increase in the average check, which includes the benefit of approximately a one percent price increase which went into effect mid-April 2010.

Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the impact of greater sales discounts, including the January 2010 happy hour rollout, partially offset by the benefit of menu price increases and favorable beef pricing.
Pei Wei: Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly primarily due to favorable beef pricing partially offset by the impact of higher costs related to limited time offer menu items.
Labor
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the impact of greater sales discounts and additional hospitality labor costs (principally related to the January 2010 happy hour rollout), higher hourly wage rates, higher state unemployment taxes and higher health insurance costs. These increases were partially offset by lower management incentive costs and the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities.
Pei Wei: Labor expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to lower manager salaries resulting from the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales, the benefit of reduced workers’ compensation insurance liabilities and lower management incentive accruals. These decreases were partially offset by higher culinary labor costs and higher state unemployment taxes.
Operating
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to increased marketing spend, the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales and higher menu printing costs.
Pei Wei: Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly primarily due to the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales and lower restaurant supplies costs. These decreases were partially offset by increased marketing spend.
Occupancy
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales.
Pei Wei: Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues remained consistent primarily due to an increase in property tax expense partially offset by the impact of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales.
General and Administrative
Consolidated general and administrative costs decreased primarily due to lower management salaries and incentive accruals, and, to a lesser extent, lower franchise tax expense, lower legal costs and lower compensation expense resulting from unrealized holding losses associated with investments in the Restoration Plan. These decreases were partially offset by higher share-based compensation expense principally resulting from our liability-classified awards and higher health insurance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation on restaurants that opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and the first half of 2010. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to the impact of decreased leverage on lower average weekly sales partially offset by smallwares assets whose costs have been fully expensed.
Pei Wei: Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation on restaurants that opened during the last three quarters of fiscal 2009 and the first half of 2010. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation related to new digital menu boards installed during fiscal 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decrease due to smallwares assets whose costs have been fully expensed and, to a lesser extent, the benefit of increased leverage on higher average weekly sales.
Preopening Expense
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: Preopening expense increased primarily due to the impact of two new restaurant openings during the first half of 2010 compared to one new restaurant opening during the first half of 2009, partially offset by the timing of expenses for new restaurant openings scheduled for the remainder of 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.
Pei Wei: Preopening expense decreased primarily due to the impact of one new restaurant opening during the first half of 2010 compared to two new restaurant openings during the first half of 2009, and, to a lesser extent, the timing of expenses for new restaurant openings scheduled for the remainder of 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.
Partner Investment Expense
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: All partner investment expense activity for the Bistro is related to early buyouts of noncontrolling interests. The change in partner investment expense resulted from having fewer early buyouts of noncontrolling interests during the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.
Pei Wei: Partner investment expense increased primarily due to the impact of fewer early buyouts during the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
The change in consolidated interest and other income (expense), net was primarily due to lower interest expense resulting from the repayment of the entire $40.0 million in outstanding credit line borrowings during the second quarter of 2010. Additionally, $0.2 million of unrealized holding losses during the current year compared to $0.2 million of unrealized holding gains in the prior year associated with investments in the Restoration Plan contributed to the change.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, including discrete items and deduction for noncontrolling interests, was 29.4% for the first half of 2010 compared to 28.3% for the first half of 2009. The income tax rate for both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 differed from the expected provision for income taxes, which is derived by applying the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of FICA tip credits. Our effective tax rate for 2010 is expected to be higher than our historic rate due to the impact of income from continuing operations from our non-tipped concept as well as higher anticipated income from operations. Because there are no tipped employees at Pei Wei, as Pei Wei contributes more net income, and if Bistro’s income from operations grows at a rate greater than revenue growth, the impact of Bistro’s tip credit on the company’s effective tax rate will continue to decrease.

Management has evaluated all positive and negative evidence concerning the realizability of deferred tax assets and has determined that, with the exception of a small amount of state net operating losses, we will recognize sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Each segment contributed as follows:
Bistro: The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the full year impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts that occurred during fiscal 2009 and, to a lesser extent, the impact of noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring during fiscal 2010. These buyouts reduced the number of noncontrolling interests from 40 at the beginning of fiscal 2009 to 18 as of July 4, 2010.
Pei Wei: The change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the impact of 91 noncontrolling interest buyouts occurring since the beginning of fiscal 2009 offset by the impact of higher restaurant net income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and borrowings under our credit facility. Historically, our need for capital resources has been driven by our construction of new restaurants. More recently, our need for capital resources has also been driven by repayments of long-term debt and repurchases of our common stock.
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009 (in thousands):
                 
    July 4, 2010     June 28, 2009  
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 37,779     $ 78,865  
Net cash used in investing activities
    (20,172 )     (20,870 )
Net cash used in financing activities
    (42,848 )     (67,484 )
 
           
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (25,241 )   $ (9,489 )
 
           
Operating Activities
Our funding requirements since inception have been met through sales of equity securities, debt financing and cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities exceeded net income for the periods shown principally due to the effect of depreciation and amortization, a net decrease in operating liabilities in the current year and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities in the prior year, share-based compensation expense as well as lease termination charges. The change in operating activities is primarily due to cash paid for income taxes, timing of rent payments, collection of tenant incentives due from landlords and lower net income.
Investing Activities
We have historically used cash primarily to fund the development and construction of new restaurants. Investment activities were primarily related to capital expenditures of $18.3 million and $20.8 million during the first half of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, and receivable under loan facility to True Food Kitchen of $1.8 million during the first half of fiscal year 2010. Capital expenditures were relatively lower compared to the prior year primarily due to the number of future restaurant openings in the third quarter (two future restaurants during the third quarter of 2010 compared to five new restaurants during the third quarter of 2009).
We intend to open four new Bistro restaurants and two new Pei Wei restaurants in fiscal year 2010, of which two Bistros and one Pei Wei restaurant were open by the end of the second quarter of 2010. We expect that our planned future Bistro restaurants will require, on average, a total cash investment per restaurant of approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million (net of estimated tenant incentives). We expect to spend approximately $350,000 to $400,000 per restaurant for preopening costs. Total cash investment per each Pei Wei restaurant is expected to average $750,000 to $850,000 (net of estimated tenant incentives) and we expect to spend $140,000 to $160,000 per restaurant for preopening costs. We expect total gross capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 to approximate $30.0 million to $40.0 million ($25.0 million to $35.0 million, net of tenant incentives).

Financing Activities
Financing activities during the first half of fiscal 2010 and 2009 included $41.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, in debt repayments and $11.1 million and $19.6 million, respectively, in repurchases of common stock. Additionally, financing activities included proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchases of $12.8 million and $1.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, and payment of cash dividends totaling $4.0 million during the first half of fiscal year 2010. Financing activities also included purchases of noncontrolling interests, distributions to noncontrolling interest partners, and the tax benefit from share-based compensation.
Future Capital Requirements
Our capital requirements, including development costs related to the opening of additional restaurants, have historically been significant. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the operating performance of our restaurants, the pace of expansion, real estate markets, site locations, the nature of the arrangements negotiated with landlords and any potential repurchases of our common stock.
For fiscal 2010, we believe that our cash flow from operations will significantly exceed our projected capital requirements. As a result, we plan to continue evaluating other uses of capital, including, but not limited to cash dividends and repurchases of our common stock.
In the longer term, in the unlikely event that additional capital is required, we may seek to raise such capital through public or private equity or debt financing. Future capital funding transactions may result in dilution to current shareholders. We cannot ensure that such capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Credit Facility
The senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which allows for borrowings of up to $75.0 million expires on August 30, 2013 and contains customary representations, warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including a requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, as defined, of 2.5:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of 1.25:1, as well as customary events of default and certain default provisions that could result in acceleration of the Credit Facility. We were in compliance with these restrictions and conditions as of July 4, 2010 as the leverage ratio was 0.97:1 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.38:1.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we repaid total outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million under the Credit Facility and currently have $14.1 million committed for the issuance of letters of credit, which is required by insurance companies for our workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs. Available borrowings under the Credit Facility were $60.9 million at July 4, 2010.
Cash Dividends
During February 2010, the Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly variable cash dividend based on our desire to consistently return excess cash flow to our shareholders. The amount of the cash dividend will be computed based on 45% of our quarterly net income and is expected to total approximately $0.90 per share related to fiscal 2010. Based on seasonal fluctuations in quarterly net income, the amount of cash dividend payments, which are based on a fixed percentage of net income, may fluctuate between quarters.
Based on the Board of Directors authorization, on July 28, 2010 we announced a cash dividend of $0.25 per share which will be paid August 23, 2010 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on August 9, 2010. Based on shares outstanding at July 4, 2010, total dividend payments to be paid during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 will approximate $5.8 million.
Share Repurchase Program
Under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors, we have repurchased a total of 5.3 million shares of our common stock for $157.2 million at an average price of $29.56 since July 2006. Included in this total are 0.3 million shares of our common stock repurchased during the first half of 2010 for $11.1 million at an average price of $44.14. At July 4, 2010, there remains $89.1 million available under our current share repurchase authorization of $100.0 million, which expires December 2011.

Purchases of Noncontrolling Interests
As of July 4, 2010, there were 37 partners within our partnership system representing 125 partnership interests. During the first half of fiscal 2010, we had the opportunity to purchase four noncontrolling interests which had reached the five-year threshold period during the year, as well as 14 additional noncontrolling interests which (i) had reached the end of their initial five-year term in prior years (ii) related to partners who left the Company prior to the initial five-year term or (iii) related to partners who requested an early buyout of their interest. We purchased these 18 noncontrolling interests in their entirety for a total of $0.6 million, all of which was paid in cash.
During the remainder of fiscal 2010, we will have the opportunity to purchase seven additional noncontrolling interests which will reach their five-year anniversary. If all of those interests are purchased, the total purchase price will approximate less than $1.0 million based upon the estimated fair value of the respective interests at July 4, 2010.
New Accounting Standards
See Recent Accounting Literature section of Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of new accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in commodities prices as well as fluctuations in the fair value of our cash-settled awards.
Commodities Prices
We purchase certain commodities such as beef, pork, poultry, seafood and produce. These commodities are generally purchased based upon market prices established with vendors. These purchase arrangements may contain contractual features that fix the price paid for certain commodities. Historically, we have not used financial instruments to hedge commodity prices because these purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid and any significant commodity price increases have historically been relatively short-term in nature.
Cash-Settled Awards
We issued cash-settled awards during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010, including performance units, cash-settled stock appreciation rights and cash-settled stock-based awards. The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each reporting period until the awards are settled and is affected by market changes in our stock price and, in the case of performance units, the relative performance of our stock price to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. Fair value fluctuations are recognized as cumulative adjustments to share-based compensation expense. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the fair value calculations and fluctuations of our cash-settled awards.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Co-CEOs and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 4, 2010. These conclusions were communicated to the Audit Committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
