NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Coleman Cable Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “us,” “we,” or “our”). The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The Company has corrected the presentation of borrowings and repayments on its revolving credit facility for 2010 within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Related amounts had previously been presented on a net basis, rather than on a gross basis in accordance with accounting guidance. The correction had no effect on net cash provided by financing activities.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Goodwill Impairment Analysis

In December 2010, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for evaluating goodwill for impairment. Accordingly, new accounting standards concerning the treatment of goodwill were issued. This guidance addresses the effects on certain provisions of evaluating reporting units with zero or negative carrying values. The accounting update is effective for a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after December 2010, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2011, did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Business Combinations

In December 2010, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for presenting pro forma results of business combinations. Accordingly, new accounting standards concerning the treatment of business combinations were issued. This guidance addresses the assumed acquisition date of the pro forma presentation of revenues and earnings, as well as further clarifying material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments. The accounting update is effective for a reporting entity’s business combinations occurring beginning on or after the entity’s first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. The Company will apply the provisions of this update for any business combinations that occur after January 1, 2011.

3. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

We incurred restructuring costs of $0 and $888 during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the first quarter of 2010, these expenses were primarily comprised of lease termination and other holding costs associated with a number of facilities closed in 2008 and 2009. Closed facilities as of March 31, 2011 consist of one leased and one owned facility for which we will continue to pay holding costs. Our reserve was $2,252 as of March 31, 2011, and represented our estimate of the liability existing relative to one closed property under lease and is equal to our remaining obligation under such lease reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the property. Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and circumstances change, including possible negotiation of a lease termination, sublease agreements, or changes in the related markets in which the property is located. Restructuring expense is not segregated by reportable segment as our operating segments share common production processes and manufacturing facilities as discussed in Note 16 below.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200,000, subject to certain limitations as discussed below. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition activity. Our Revolving Credit Facility expires April 2, 2012. At March 31, 2011, we had $0 in borrowings under the facility, with $132,962 in remaining excess availability. At December 31, 2010, we had $0 in borrowings outstanding under the facility, with $113,739 in remaining excess availability.

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the lender’s prime rate plus a range of 1.25% to 1.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 2.50% to 3.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay a 0.50% unused line fee pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility for unutilized availability.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum of $10,000 in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $200,000 or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10,000 sublimit for letters of credit. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for foreign subsidiaries is limited to the greater of (1) the sum of 85% of the aggregate book value of accounts receivable of such foreign subsidiaries plus 60% of the aggregate book value of the inventory of such foreign subsidiaries and (2) $25,000 (excluding permitted intercompany indebtedness of such foreign subsidiaries).

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International, Inc. (“CCI International”), a 100% owned domestic subsidiary, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of CCI International, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10,000 in excess availability under the facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. We maintained greater than $30,000 of monthly excess availability during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. We are currently in the process of renegotiating a replacement for the Revolving Credit Facility, which will, among other things, extend the maturity of our current facility, and we expect to successfully complete this process in 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of time-based restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Company’s losses, and therefore participating securities are not allocated a portion of any net loss in any period for which a net loss is recorded. As of March 31, 2011, there were 308 shares of time-based vesting restricted stock outstanding.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the impact of participating securities on net income allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Components of Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share	2011			2010
Basic EPS Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	5,226		$	(3,830	)
Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities		(93	)		—

Net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders	$	5,133		$	(3,830	)

Basic EPS Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		17,079			16,896
Basic earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.30		$	(0.23	)
Diluted EPS Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	5,226		$	(3,830	)
Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities		(92	)		—

Net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders	$	5,134		$	(3,830	)

Diluted EPS Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		17,079			16,896
Dilutive common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options		126			—

Diluted weighted average share outstanding		17,205			16,896
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.30		$	(0.23	)

Options

Options with respect to 971 and 1,450 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, because they were antidilutive.

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. We recorded $1,177 and $360 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Options

No stock options were issued during the first quarter of 2011.

Changes in stock options were as follows:


	Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Terms		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding January 1, 2011		1,408		$	11.03		6.8		936
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(2	)		3.99
Forfeited or expired		—			—

Outstanding March 31, 2011		1,406			11.04		6.6		2,147
Vested or expected to vest		1,374			11.20		6.5		1,894
Exercisable		389			6.22		7.3		1,019

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value.

Stock Awards

In January 2011, the Company awarded unvested common shares to members of its board of directors. In total, non-management board members were awarded 89 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $560. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which provide the recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares.

Changes in nonvested shares for the first quarter of 2011 were as follows:


	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2011		923		$	4.09
Granted		89			6.32
Vested		(187	)		4.33
Forfeited		—			—

Nonvested at March 31, 2011		825		$	4.28

In the first quarter of 2010, 258 performance shares were granted, which are settled in cash rather than stock. These cash-settled shares are re-measured each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo model and are recorded as a liability. During the current quarter, these cash-settled shares were measured using an assumption of 94.2% volatility, and a risk-free rate of 3.27%, resulting in an estimated aggregate fair value of approximately $2,114, which will be recorded as stock compensation expense over the estimated derived service period (also estimated using a Monte Carlo model), which was approximately 0.8 years as of March 31, 2011.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011		2010
Net income (loss)	$	5,226	$	(3,830	)
Other comprehensive income:
Currency translation adjustment, net of tax of $82 and $207, respectively		244		181
Unrealized gains on available for sale securities (Level 1), net of tax $416 and $24, respectively		653		40
Pension adjustments, net of tax of $21		33		—

Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	6,156	$	(3,609	)

9. RELATED PARTIES

We lease our corporate office facility from certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management, and we made payments of $134 and $98 for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we lease three manufacturing facilities from an entity in which one of our executive officers has a substantial minority interest, and we paid a total of $261 and $263 in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next eight years. Rental expense under operating leases was $1,481 and $1,343 for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Legal Matters

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwaters at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation (“Riblet”), with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for cleanup of the site.

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, we had a $340 and $400 accrual, respectively, recorded for this liability.

Though no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11. DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We had no hedge positions at March 31, 2011 to which hedge accounting was applied. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Commodity Derivatives


	Contract Position (in total pounds)						Fair Value
	Long		Short		Cash Collateral Posted		Asset (2)		Liability (3)
Copper futures contracts outstanding as of (1):
Three months ended March 31, 2011		—		625	$	22	$	188		—

(1)	All of our copper futures contracts mature in less than three months and are tied to the price of copper on the COMEX and, accordingly, the value of such futures contracts changes directly in relation thereto.

(2)	Balance recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”

(3)	Balance recorded in “Accrued liabilities”

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, no cumulative losses or gains existed in OCI. As hedge accounting has not been applied to any of our open hedges at March 31, 2011, no associated losses or gains have been recorded within OCI.

12. INCOME TAXES


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011			2010
Effective Tax Rate		32.6	%		38.7	%

We recorded income tax expense of $2,526 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $2,414 for the first quarter of 2010, with the increase primarily reflecting increased pre-tax income. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, reflected a state tax benefit from previously paid state taxes.

13. BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Savings Plan

We provide defined contribution savings plans for employees meeting certain age and service requirements. We currently make matching contributions for a portion of employee contributions to the plans. Including such matching contributions, we recorded expenses totaling $1,264 and $368 related to these savings plans during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Riblet Pension Plan

As previously disclosed in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as a result of its merger with Riblet in 2000, the Company is responsible for a defined-benefit pension plan of Riblet. The Riblet plan was frozen in 1990 and no additional benefits have been earned by plan participants since that time. A total of 83 former employees of Riblet currently receive or may be eligible to receive future benefits under the plan. The Company does not expect to make any plan contributions in 2011. The net period expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(8) and $7, respectively.

14. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of the periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, and equity securities. There were no transfers of assets between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts, commercial paper, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:


	Fair Value Measurement

15. OTHER INCOME

We recorded other income of $132 and $127 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily reflecting exchange rate impacts on our Canadian subsidiary.

16. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have two reportable segments: (1) Distribution and (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”). The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase more tailored products from us, which are used as inputs into subassemblies of manufactured finished goods.

Financial data for the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011		2010
Net Sales:
Distribution Segment	$	149,258	$	114,432
OEM Segment		56,544		41,548

Total	$	205,802	$	155,980


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011			2010
Operating Income:
Distribution Segment	$	15,154		$	10,486
OEM Segment		4,969			3,302

Total segments		20,123			13,788
Corporate		(5,532	)		(5,061	)

Consolidated operating income	$	14,591		$	8,727

Our operating segments have common production processes and manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, we do not identify all of our net assets to our segments. Thus, we do not report capital expenditures at the segment level. Additionally, depreciation expense is not allocated to our segments but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are produced and sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.

17. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

The 2018 Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility are instruments of the parent, and are reflected in their respective balance sheets. Our payment obligations under the 2018 Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 6) are guaranteed by our 100% owned subsidiary, CCI International, Inc. (“Guarantor Subsidiary”). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several. The following unaudited supplemental financial information sets forth, on a combined basis, balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for Coleman Cable, Inc. (“Parent”) and the Company’s Guarantor Subsidiary – CCI International, Inc. which is 100% owned by the Parent. The condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the condensed consolidated financial statements of Coleman Cable, Inc. The equity method of accounting is followed within these financials.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge

On April 1, 2011, we acquired the assets of The Designers Edge, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada, with annual sales in excess of $20,000. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10,926, subject to working capital adjustments.

Acquisition of First Capitol Wire & Cable and Continental Wire & Cable

On May 1, 2011, we acquired the assets of First Capitol Wire & Cable (“First Capitol”), and Continental Wire & Cable (“Continental”), which are under common ownership. First Capitol and Continental, with annual combined sales in excess of $10,000, are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivable and merchandise inventories, was $7,150, subject to working capital adjustments.

Definitive Merger Agreement and Tender Offer for Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)

On March 28, 2011, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire for $7.20 per share in cash all outstanding equity interests of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, we commenced a tender offer on April 12, 2011 to acquire all of the outstanding common stock (including the associated stock purchase rights) of TRC for $7.20 per share in cash (the “Offer”). TRC, based in Clearwater, Florida, is a recognized leader in providing cost-effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products. TRC had revenues of $34,833 for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The Offer is scheduled to expire on May 13, 2011, unless extended. The Offer is valued at approximately $51,500, including Coleman’s current 4.9% interest in TRC. Consummation of the Offer and the merger are subject to certain conditions and there can be no assurance that they will be consummated.

During the first quarter of 2011, we incurred $902 in acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees and direct expenses incurred relative to acquisition-related activities.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in this report under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.

Overview

Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser degree, Canada.

Raw materials, primarily copper, comprise the primary component of our cost of goods sold. The price of copper is particularly volatile, and fluctuations in copper prices can significantly affect our sales and profitability. The average copper price on the COMEX was $4.38 per pound for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $3.29 per pound for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 33.1%.

In addition to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include share-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, restructuring charges, losses on the extinguishment of our 2012 Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2010, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses recorded at our Canadian subsidiary.

We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We use these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For example, we believe the inclusion of items such as taxes, interest expense and intangible asset amortization can make it more difficult to identify and assess operating trends affecting our business and industry. However, the usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures are limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.

The following tables, which reconcile our measure of Adjusted EPS to diluted earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, respectively, should be used along with the below statements of operations for the periods presented, and the accompanying results of operations review.

Earnings and Performance Summary

We recorded a net income of $5.2 million (or income of $0.30 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to net loss of $3.8 million (or a loss of $0.23 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2010. For the first quarter of 2011, we recorded EBITDA of $19.0 million, as compared to $5.2 million in EBITDA for the first quarter of 2010. As set forth below, results for these periods were impacted by certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period and, thereby, have a disproportionate effect on the earnings reported for any given period. The income-statement review below contains further detail regarding these items.

(1)

Restructuring charges: Our results for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 included $0.0 million and $0.9 million ($0.5 million after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share), respectively, in restructuring charges recorded primarily in connection with lease termination and holding costs associated with closed facilities, which existed during the first quarter of 2010.

(2)	Loss on extinguishment of debt: In 2010, we refinanced our 2012 Senior Notes by issuing $275.0 million in 2018 Senior Notes. As a result of the transaction, we recorded an associated loss of $8.6 million ($5.2 million after tax, or $0.31 per diluted share).

(3)

Foreign currency transaction gain: Our results for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 included foreign currency gains of $0.1 million ($0.1 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) and $0.1 million ($0.1 million after tax, or $0.00 per diluted share), respectively, related to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our Canadian subsidiary.

(4)

Share-based compensation expense: Our results for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 included expense of $1.2 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share) and $0.4 million ($0.2 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share), respectively. Share-based compensation is excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS in order for such measures to more closely reflect underlying operating results given periodic fluctuations in the estimated fair value of a significant portion of the underlying share-based instruments.

(5)

Acquisition-related costs: Our results for the first quarter of 2011 included acquisition-related costs of $0.9 million ($0.6 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share). Acquisition related costs include outside legal, consulting and other fees and direct expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2011 relative to acquisition-related activities. These costs are excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS in order for such measures to more closely reflect underlying operational results given periodic fluctuations in such expenses.

The following sets forth, for the periods indicated, our consolidated results of operations and related data in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net sales.

Net sales

The increase in net sales for the first quarter of 2011 reflected both higher average copper prices and higher volumes, as compared to the first quarter of 2010. The average copper price on the COMEX was $4.38 per pound for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $3.29 per pound for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 33.1%. Our sales volumes (measured in total pounds shipped) for the first quarter of 2011 (58.5 million pounds) increased 7.3% compared to the first quarter of 2010 (54.5 million pounds), reflecting improvement across a number of areas, most notably within our OEM and industrial-related products. Volume increased 18.9% within our OEM segment (20.6 million pounds in the first quarter of 2011, compared to 17.3 million in the first quarter of 2010), and 2.1% in our Distribution segment (38.0 million pounds in the first quarter of 2011, compared to 37.2 million in the first quarter of 2010).

Gross profit

The significant increase in gross profit for the first quarter primarily reflected the impact of the above-noted volume increases, with increased gross profit being recorded in both our Distribution and OEM segments as compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase also reflected the favorable impact of lower overhead variances and increased expense leverage as our fixed costs were spread over an increased net sales base.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense

The $2.6 million increase in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, included the impact of $0.9 million in outside legal, consulting and other fees and direct expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2011 relative to acquisition-related activities. We incurred no such acquisition-related costs during the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of such acquisition-related costs, our SG&A increased $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, with the entire increase attributable to higher payroll and related costs, including most notably a $0.8 million increase in non-cash, share-based compensation expense and an increase of $0.4 million in accrued incentive compensation costs which reflected improvement in the performance of our common stock and overall business results. The decrease in our SG&A rate as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, reflected the favorable impact of increased expense leverage as our fixed costs were spread over a higher net sales base.

Intangible amortization expense

The decrease in intangible amortization reflects the fact that the related intangible assets have been amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed and results in lower amortization in periods further removed from the period of initial recognition.

Restructuring charges

We recorded no restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2011. For the first quarter of 2010, we recorded $0.9 million of restructuring costs, primarily comprised of lease termination costs associated with facilities closed in 2008 and 2009. Closed facilities as of March 31, 2011 consist of one leased and one owned facility for which we will continue to pay holding costs.

Operating income

The following table sets forth operating income by segment, in thousands of dollars and segment operating income as a percentage of segment net sales.


	Three Months Ended March 31,												Year-over-Year Change
	2011						2010						2011 vs. 2010
	Amount			% Total			Amount			% Total			$ Change		% Change
	(Thousands)
Operating Income:
Distribution	$	15,154			10.2	%	$	10,486			9.2	%	$	4,668		44.5	%
OEM		4,969			8.8			3,302			7.9			1,667		50.5

Total segments		20,123						13,788						6,335		45.9

Corporate		(5,532	)					(5,061	)

Consolidated operating income	$	14,591			7.1	%	$	8,727			5.6	%	$	5,864		67.2

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our segments have common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Depreciation expense is not allocated to segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.

Distribution operating income improvement for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2011. The increase in the operating income rate reflects a largely stable gross profit rate, partially improved by increased fixed-cost leverage, as such costs were spread over a higher overall net sales base for 2011.

OEM operating income improvement for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2011. The increase in the operating income rate reflects a largely stable gross profit rate, partially improved by increased fixed-cost leverage, as such costs were spread over a higher overall net sales base for 2011.

Interest expense

We incurred increased interest expense due to higher average outstanding borrowings for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter last year.

Loss on extinguishment of 2012 Senior Notes

We recorded an $8.6 million loss in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from our issuance of $275.0 million in 2018 Senior Notes and the corresponding extinguishment of our outstanding 2012 Senior Notes.

Other income, net

We recorded other income reflecting an exchange rate impact on our Canadian subsidiary.

Income tax expense (benefit)

We recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, with the increase primarily reflecting increased pre-tax income. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, reflected a state tax benefit from previously paid state taxes.

The following is a reconciliation for the periods indicated of cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Debt

The following summarizes long-term debt (including current portion and capital lease obligations) outstanding in thousands of dollars:


	As of March 31, 2011		As of December 31, 2010
Revolving Credit Facility expiring April 2, 2012	$	—	$	—
Senior Notes due February 15, 2018, respectively		271,928		271,815
Capital lease obligations		8		12

Total long-term debt, including current portion	$	271,936	$	271,827

As of March 31, 2011, we had a total of $14.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, with $133.0 million in remaining excess availability. Also, as of March 31, 2011, we had no required debt repayments until our Senior Notes mature in 2018.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which expires April 2, 2012, is a senior secured facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200.0 million, subject to certain limitations as discussed below. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition-related activity.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum of $10.0 million in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $200.0 million or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for foreign subsidiaries is limited to the greater of (1) the sum of 85% of the aggregate book value of accounts receivable of such foreign subsidiaries plus 60% of the aggregate book value of the inventory of such foreign subsidiaries and (2) $25.0 million (excluding permitted intercompany indebtedness of such foreign subsidiaries).

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10.0 million in excess availability under the facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30.0 million. We maintained greater than $30.0 million of monthly excess availability during the first quarter of 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes

Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining life of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes have a par value of $275.0 million and have a 9% coupon rate with interest payments made semi-annually on February 15^th and August 15^th. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our 2018 Senior Notes.

Current and Future Liquidity

In general, we require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and interest. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant increased demand for products or significant copper price increases. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow against our Revolving Credit Facility in the future if, among a number of other potential factors, the price of copper continues to increase, thereby increasing our working capital requirements. Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, (4) planned capital expenditures, and (5) our ability to borrow additional funds under the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility.

Based on the foregoing, we believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions for the foreseeable future. We are currently in the process of renegotiating a replacement for the Revolving Credit Facility, which will, among other things, extend the maturity of our current facility, and we expect to successfully complete this process in 2011. As of March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings against our $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, $133.0 million in excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $14.2 million in cash on hand.

During the second quarter of 2011, we acquired certain assets of three separate entities: (1) The Designers Edge (“TDE”), (2) First Capitol Wire & Cable (“FCWC”), and (3) Continental Wire & Cable (“CWC”). TDE, with annual sales in excess of $20.0 million, designs and distributes specialty lighting products. FCWC and CWC, which were under common ownership and had combined annual sales in excess of $10.0 million, are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products.

We paid a total of approximately $18.1 million (subject to working capital adjustments) for the acquired assets of TDE, FCWC, and CWC, collectively, with the purchase price funded primarily from cash on hand, and supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

On March 28, 2011, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire for $7.20 per share in cash all outstanding equity interests of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”). On April 12, 2011, pursuant to the merger agreement, we commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common stock (including the associated stock purchase rights) of TRC (the “Offer”) for $7.20 per share in cash. TRC, with revenues of $34.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2010, is a recognized leader in providing cost-effective solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products. The Offer is scheduled to expire on May 13, 2011, unless extended. Shares of TRC not acquired in the Offer would be acquired in a second-step merger transaction expected to be completed shortly after consummation of the Offer.

The Offer and subsequent merger are subject to various conditions and there can be no assurance that they will be consummated. However, if successfully completed, the aggregate purchase price paid by Coleman for TRC (exclusive of expenses) would be approximately $51.5 million. We plan to finance the purchase price primarily from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Accordingly, assuming the Offer and the merger are successfully completed, we will likely have borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility after the completion of the Offer and acquisition of TRC approximately equal to the $51.5 million purchase price, less the amount paid for Coleman’s current 4.9% interest in TRC, adjusted for any changes in borrowing levels brought about by changes in our working capital needs.

If we experience a deficiency in earnings with respect to our fixed charges in the future, we would need to fund the fixed charges through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations, together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures and we need to seek additional sources of capital, the limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture relating to our 2018 Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.

Our Revolving Credit Facility permits us to redeem, retire or repurchase our 2018 Senior Notes subject to certain limitations. We may repurchase 2018 Senior Notes in the future but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that we will repurchase any amounts of our 2018 Senior Notes.

Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $17.6 million compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2010. The $11.8 million decline in cash provided by operating activities was largely a result of the impact of changes in working capital items, primarily changes in accounts receivable and inventory. Our receivables balance increased from December 31, 2010, and resulted in the use of approximately $12.4 million in operating cash flows during the first quarter of 2011, versus $9.6 million used in the first quarter of 2010 from December 31, 2009, driven by increased volumes and higher copper prices. The $11.6 million versus $6.9 million cash used in inventories in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010 is a function of increased inventory levels measured in both dollars and pounds, reflective of higher copper prices and increased demand levels. We also used $7.2 million and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, in accrued expenses, reflective of payments made for accrued rebates and salary incentives. The impact of these three items on year-over-year cash flows was partially offset by changes in our accounts payable levels over the same periods. For the first quarter of 2011, we recorded $3.1 million in operating cash flows relative to accounts payable compared to $7.9 million in 2010. This change largely reflects increased copper prices to relative inventory purchases for the period ending March 31, 2011, as compared to the period ended March 31, 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 was $2.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily due to capital expenditures. We expect our 2011 capital expenditures to total between $12.0 million and $14.0 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. This reflects a significant increase in expected quarterly spending as compared to $2.1 million and $0.9 million spent for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in expected capital spending primarily reflects recently developing opportunities to selectively add equipment to enhance our production capability and reduce costs.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.0 million as a result of insignificant financing-related activity. In 2010, we generated $23.9 million in financing cash flows due to the refinancing of our 2012 Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2010, as discussed above, inclusive of approximately $6.1 million in bond issuance costs. In addition, as a result of the bond offering, we were able to repay our outstanding revolver balance of approximately $10.2 million.

Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of March 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In those cases in which we are the defendant, plaintiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts or other types of relief and some matters may remain unresolved for several years. We believe that none of the litigation that we now face, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flow or results of operations. We maintain insurance coverage for litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business and believe such coverage is adequate.

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors

Risk Factors” in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
