CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
(1)  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Presentation -
CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business -
CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of seasonal and all occasion products, principally to mass market retailers. These products include gift wrap, gift bags, gift boxes, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, decorative tissue paper, decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, floral accessories, Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties, craft and educational products, memory books, stationery, journals, notecards, infant and wedding photo albums and scrapbooks, and other gift items that commemorate life’s celebrations. The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year, which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions -
Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, income tax accounting, the valuation of share-based awards and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Inventories -
The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company expects to sell these facilities within the next 12 months for an amount greater than the current carrying value. The Company ceased depreciating these facilities at the time they were classified as held for sale.
Revenue Recognition -

Provisions for returns, allowances, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.

Statements of Cash Flows -
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all holdings of highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity at time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(2) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
2004 Equity Compensation Plan
Under the terms of the 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (“2004 Plan”), the Human Resources Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses and other awards to officers and other employees. Grants under the 2004 Plan may be made through August 3, 2014. The term of each grant is at the discretion of the Committee, but in no event greater than ten years from the date of grant. The Committee has discretion to determine the date or dates on which granted options become exercisable. All options outstanding as of September 30, 2008 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. Performance-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vest on the third anniversary of the date on which the award was granted, provided that certain performance metrics have been met during the performance period, and time-vested RSUs vest at a rate of 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which the award was granted. At September 30, 2008, there were 1,091,625 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan.
2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
Under the terms of the CSS Industries, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“2006 Plan”), non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock are available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2006 Plan, options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be granted automatically to each non-employee director on the last day that the Company’s common stock is traded in each November until 2010. Each option will expire five years after the date the option is granted and commencing one year after the date of grant, options begin vesting and are exercisable at the rate of 25% per year. At September 30, 2008, there were 156,000 shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan.
The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions:
                 
    For the Six Months  
    Ended September 30,  
    2008     2007  
Expected dividend yield at time of grant
    2.18 %     1.59 %
Expected stock price volatility
    36 %     29 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.5 %     4.8 %
Expected life of option (in years)
    4.2       4.2  
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of the option is estimated using historical data pertaining to option exercises and employee terminations. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.
The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $7.70 and $9.44, respectively. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted during the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $27.50.

As of September 30, 2008, there was $1,191,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of three years.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations. Firmly committed transactions and the related receivables and payables may be hedged with forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in income or expense as offsets of gains and losses resulting from the underlying hedged transactions. As of September 30, 2008, the notional amount of open foreign currency forward contracts was $13,118,000 and the related unrealized gain was $684,000. There were no open foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2008.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:
On August 5, 2008, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of Hampshire Paper Corp.

Hampshire Paper is a manufacturer and supplier of waxed tissue, paper, foil, and foil decorative packaging to the wholesale floral and horticultural industries. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow for certain post-closing adjustments and indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (estimated to be approximately $1,711,000, subject to the completion of appraisals in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141) was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On January 4, 2008, the Company announced a restructuring plan to close the Company’s Elysburg, Pennsylvania production facilities and its Troy, Pennsylvania distribution facility. This restructuring was undertaken as the Company has increasingly shifted from domestically manufactured to foreign sourced boxed greeting cards and gift tags. Under the restructuring plan, both facilities were closed as of March 31, 2008. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a restructuring reserve of $628,000, including severance related to 75 employees. Also, in connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded an impairment of property, plant and equipment at the affected facilities of $1,222,000, which was included in restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. During the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company made payments of $68,000 and $306,000, respectively, primarily for costs related to severance. The Company increased the restructuring reserve by $183,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2008 primarily related to the ratable recognition of retention bonuses for employees providing service until their termination. As of September 30, 2008, the remaining liability of $196,000 was classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be paid in fiscal 2009. The Company expects to incur additional period expenses related to this restructuring program of approximately $347,000 during the remainder of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
CSS and its subsidiaries are involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies, within the accounting literature established by the FASB, the sources and hierarchy of the accounting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company) and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after April 1, 2009.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10 “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements” (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-10 on April 1, 2008 through a cumulative effect of an accounting change which resulted in a reduction to equity of $566,000. The Company does not expect that EITF 06-10 will have a significant impact on future results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on April 1, 2008 and it did not have an effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which amends SFAS No. 157 by delaying its effective date by one year (until April 1, 2009 for the Company) for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2008. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption of SFAS No. 157. See Note 9 for further discussion of the adoption of this Statement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.
(9)  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers or sellers in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability that are independent of the reporting entity, knowledgeable and able and willing to transact for the asset or liability. There was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of SFAS No. 157.

Table of Contents

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The Company’s recurring assets and liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets and pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
On December 3, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of C.R. Gibson, which is a designer, marketer and distributor of memory books, stationery, journals and notecards, infant and wedding photo albums and scrapbooks, and other gift items that commemorate life’s celebrations. In consideration, the Company paid approximately $73,847,000 in cash, including transaction costs of approximately $200,000. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow for certain indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $17,409,000 was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On August 5, 2008, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of Hampshire Paper Corp. (“Hampshire Paper”) for approximately $10,250,000 in cash. Hampshire Paper is a manufacturer and supplier of waxed tissue, paper, foil, and foil decorative packaging to the wholesale floral and horticultural industries. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow for certain post-closing adjustments and indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (estimated to be approximately $1,711,000, subject to the completion of appraisals in accordance with SFAS 141) was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Historically, significant growth at CSS has come through acquisitions. Management anticipates that it will continue to utilize acquisitions to stimulate further growth.
Approximately 70% of the Company’s sales are attributable to seasonal (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Halloween) products, with the remainder being attributable to everyday products. Seasonal products are sold primarily to mass market retailers, and the Company has relatively high market shares in many of these categories. Most of these markets have shown little or no growth in recent years, and the Company continues to confront significant price pressure as its competitors source certain products from overseas and its customers increase direct sourcing from overseas factories. Increasing customer concentration has augmented their bargaining power, which has also contributed to price pressure.
The Company has taken several measures to respond to cost and price pressures. CSS continually invests in product and packaging design and product knowledge to assure it can continue to provide unique added value to its customers. In addition, CSS maintains an office and showroom in Hong Kong to be able to provide alternatively sourced products at competitive prices. CSS continually evaluates the efficiency and productivity in its North American production and distribution facilities and of its back office operations to maintain its competitiveness domestically. In the last five fiscal years, the Company has closed five manufacturing plants and six warehouses totaling 1,344,000 square feet. Additionally, in fiscal 2007 the Company combined the management and back office support for its Memphis, Tennessee based Cleo gift wrap operation into its Berwick Offray ribbon and bow subsidiary. This action enhanced administrative efficiencies and provided incremental penetration of gift packaging products into broader everyday channels of distribution.

The Company’s everyday craft, trim-a-package, stationery and memory product lines have higher inherent growth potential due to higher market growth rates. Further, the Company’s everyday craft, trim-a-package, stationery and floral product lines have higher inherent growth potential due to CSS’ relatively low current market share. The Company continues to pursue sales growth in these and other areas.
LITIGATION
CSS and its subsidiaries are involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue; cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets and goodwill; valuation reserves for inventory and accounts receivable; income tax accounting; the valuation of share-based awards and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Seasonality
The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2007
Sales for the six months ended September 30, 2008 increased 4% to $228,808,000 from $219,684,000 in 2007 primarily due to sales of acquired businesses, primarily C.R. Gibson, which was acquired on December 3, 2007. Excluding sales of acquired businesses, sales declined 9%, primarily due to lower sales in the Christmas gift wrap, gift bag and gift tissue product lines, as well as generally reduced buying patterns of retailers caused by the weak economic environment.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 73% in 2008 and 2007 as higher margin sales of C.R Gibson in the current year were substantially offset by higher material and fuel costs compared to the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $5,572,000, or 12%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to incremental costs of C.R. Gibson, partially offset by lower commissions expense as a result of the mix of product shipped during the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense of $1,200,000 in 2008 was unfavorable compared to interest income of $90,000 in 2007. The increase in interest expense was substantially due to increased borrowings during the six months compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of cash utilized to purchase C.R. Gibson on December 3, 2007 and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, net of cash generated from operations.
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, were 34% in 2008 and 36% in 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a benefit recorded in the current year following the settlement of an outstanding tax audit.
Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $6,008,000, or $.58 per diluted share compared to $9,108,000, or $.82 per diluted share in 2007. The reduction in net income was primarily the result of reduced Christmas sales, higher material and fuel costs and increased interest expense due to higher borrowings, net of income contributed by acquired businesses. Included in net income per diluted share for the six month period is non-recurring costs of $.05 per diluted share associated with the restructuring related to the closure of three Pennsylvania-based facilities announced in January 2008.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 1% to $174,161,000 from $172,882,000 in 2007 primarily due to sales of acquired businesses, primarily C.R. Gibson, which was acquired on December 3, 2007. Excluding sales of acquired businesses, sales declined 10%, primarily due to lower sales in the Christmas gift wrap, gift bag and gift tissue product lines, as well as generally reduced buying patterns of retailers caused by the weak economic environment.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 74% in 2008 and 73% in 2007. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to higher material and fuel costs compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
SG&A expenses increased $2,705,000, or 11%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to incremental costs of C.R. Gibson, partially offset by lower commissions expense as a result of the mix of product shipped during the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense, net of $916,000 in 2008 increased over interest expense, net of $284,000 in 2007 due to higher borrowing levels during the quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year, primarily as a result of cash utilized to purchase C.R. Gibson on December 3, 2007 and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, net of cash generated from operations.
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, were 34% in 2008 and 35% in 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a benefit recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 following the settlement of an outstanding tax audit.

Table of Contents

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $10,504,000, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to $13,535,000, or $1.22 per diluted share in 2007. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the impact of lower Christmas sales, higher material and fuel costs and higher interest expense, net of income contributed by acquired businesses. Included in net income per diluted share for the quarter is non-recurring costs of $.02 per diluted share associated with the restructuring related to the closure of three Pennsylvania-based facilities announced in January 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2008, the Company had working capital of $123,529,000 and stockholders’ equity of $256,823,000. The increase in accounts receivable from March 31, 2008 reflected seasonal billings of current year Halloween and Christmas accounts receivables, net of current year collections. The increase in inventories and other current liabilities was primarily a result of the normal seasonal inventory build necessary for the fiscal 2009 shipping season. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to treasury share repurchases and payments of cash dividends, partially offset by year-to-date net income.
The Company relies primarily on cash generated from its operations and seasonal borrowings to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, a significant portion of the Company’s revenues have been seasonal with approximately 80% of sales recognized in the second and third quarters. As payment for sales of Christmas related products is usually not received until just before or just after the holiday selling season in accordance with general industry practice, short-term borrowing needs increase throughout the second and third quarters, peaking prior to Christmas and dropping thereafter. Seasonal financing requirements are met under a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility with five banks and an accounts receivable securitization facility with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. This facility has a funding limit of $100,000,000 during peak seasonal periods and $25,000,000 during off-peak seasonal periods. In addition, the Company has outstanding $20,000,000 of 4.48% senior notes due ratably in annual $10,000,000 installments through December 2009. These financing facilities are available to fund the Company’s seasonal borrowing needs and to provide the Company with sources of capital for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions as permitted under the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2008, there was $20,000,000 of long-term borrowings outstanding related to the senior notes and $102,980,000 outstanding under the Company’s short-term credit facilities. In addition, the Company has less than $500,000 of capital leases outstanding. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes its sources of available capital are adequate to meet its future cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s letter of credit commitments are as follows (in thousands):
                                         
    Less than 1     1-3     4-5     After 5        
    Year     Years     Years     Years     Total  
Letters of credit
  $ 5,925     $     $     $     $ 5,925  
The Company has a reimbursement obligation with respect to stand-by letters of credit that guarantee the funding of workers compensation claims and guarantee the funding of obligations to certain vendors. The Company has no financial guarantees or other arrangements with any third parties or related parties other than its subsidiaries.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. These purchase orders do not contain any significant termination payments or other penalties if cancelled.
LABOR RELATIONS
With the exception of the bargaining units at the gift wrap facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and the ribbon manufacturing facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland, which totaled approximately 700 employees as of September 30, 2008, CSS employees are not represented by labor unions. Because of the seasonal nature of certain of its businesses, the number of production employees fluctuates during the year. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing Cleo’s production and maintenance employees at the Cleo gift wrap plant and warehouses in Memphis, Tennessee remains in effect until December 31, 2010. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing the Hagerstown-based production and maintenance employees remains in effect until December 31, 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manages this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations which it manages by entering into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the majority of firmly committed transactions and related receivables that are denominated in a foreign currency. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The market risks associated with debt obligations and other significant instruments as of September 30, 2008 have not materially changed from March 31, 2008 (see Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008).
