Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of Select Comfort Corporation and subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation, self-insured liabilities, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events

Events that have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2012 have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period, other than as described in Note 11, Subsequent Events, that would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or for the period ended March 31, 2012.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:

—	Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

—	Level 2 – inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

—	Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

At both March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we had $20.0 million of marketable debt securities – current and $10.0 million of marketable debt securities – non-current. These securities are comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and are classified as Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

At March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we had $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of marketable securities that fund our deferred compensation plan. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $1.7 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Substantially all of the marketable securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the marketable securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liabilities.

3. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Raw materials	$	4,173	$	4,834
Work in progress		143		96
Finished goods		20,568		19,921
	$	24,884	$	24,851

4. Investments

Investments at March 31, 2012 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value(1)
Marketable debt securities – current (U.S. Treasury securities, due in less than one year)	$	20,005	$	20,011
Marketable debt securities – non-current (U.S. Treasury securities, due in 12 to 18 months)		10,014		10,029
	$	30,019	$	30,040

Investments at December 31, 2011 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value(1)
Marketable debt securities – current (U.S. Treasury securities, due in less than one year)	$	20,004	$	20,020
Marketable debt securities – non-current (U.S. Treasury securities, due in 12 to 18 months)		10,017		10,042
	$	30,021	$	30,062

__________________________________

(1) See Note 2 for discussion of fair value measurements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no sales or maturities of marketable debt securities. In addition, there were no other-than-temporary declines in market value during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

5. Debt

Credit Agreement

At both March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, $20.0 million was available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. We had no outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Capital Lease Obligations

We had outstanding capital lease obligations of $0.2 million and $0.3 million at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were included in other current liabilities and $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

We compensate officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under three stock plans approved by our shareholders in 1997, 2004 and 2010 and administered under the supervision of our Board of Directors. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and April 2, 2011, was $7.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

CEO Transition Costs

In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company and our Board of Directors effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s leadership and contributions to the Company, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s unvested stock awards, including performance stock awards. The performance stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments based on free cash flows and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $5.6 million of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications.

7. Employee Benefits

Under our profit sharing and 401(k) plan, eligible employees may defer up to 50% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Each year, we may make a discretionary contribution equal to a percentage of the employee’s contribution. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, and April 2, 2011, our contributions, net of forfeitures, were $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

8. Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, consisted of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Interest income	$	50		$	27
Interest expense		(43	)		(57	)
Other income (expense), net	$	7		$	(30	)

9. Net Income per Common Share

The following computations reconcile net income per share – basic with net income per share – diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012		April 2, 2011
Net income	$	22,417	$	16,583

Reconciliation of weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		55,640		54,726
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options		1,156		714
Restricted shares		644		537

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		57,440		55,977

Net income per share – basic	$	0.40	$	0.30
Net income per share – diluted	$	0.39	$	0.30

We excluded potentially dilutive stock options totaling 0.2 million and 2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and April 2, 2011, respectively, from our diluted net income per share calculations because these securities’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Sales Returns

The accrued sales returns estimate is based on historical return rates, which are reasonably consistent from period to period, and is adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. If actual returns vary from expected rates, sales in future periods are adjusted.

The activity in the sales returns liability account was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,402		$	2,944
Additions that reduce net sales		13,066			10,581
Deductions from reserves		(12,047	)		(9,497	)
Balance at end of period	$	5,421		$	4,028

SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 20-year limited warranty on our beds. The customer participates over the last 18 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

We classify as noncurrent those estimated warranty costs expected to be paid out in greater than one year. The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Balance at beginning of year	$	6,310		$	5,744
Additions charged to costs and expenses for current-year sales		1,448			1,074
Deductions from reserves		(1,383	)		(1,050	)
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the current year, including expirations		505			(142	)
Balance at end of period	$	6,880		$	5,626

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

11. Subsequent Events

On April 23, 2012, we entered into an Amendment to our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Amendment changes the Credit Agreement from a secured revolving credit facility to an unsecured revolving credit facility and extends the maturity date of the credit facility from July 1, 2012 to April 23, 2015. The amended credit facility contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval. The Amendment also decreases the amount of commitment fees, lowers the rate at which interest accrues and increases the financial flexibility with regard to our financial covenants.

Any borrowings under the Amendment will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect plus 1.25%, or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50% or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Amendment, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash and cash equivalents equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Amendment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:

●

Risk Factors

●

Overview

●

Results of Operations

●

Liquidity and Capital Resources

●

Non-GAAP Financial Data

●

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

●

Critical Accounting Policies

Risk Factors

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included herein. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that relate to future plans, events, financial results or performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these or similar terms. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.

These risks and uncertainties include, among others:

●	Current and future general and industry economic trends and consumer confidence;

●	The effectiveness of our marketing messages;

●	The efficiency of our advertising and promotional efforts;

●	Availability of attractive and cost-effective consumer credit options, including the impact of recent changes in federal law that restrict various forms of consumer credit promotional offerings;

●	Our ability to execute our retail distribution strategy;

●	Our ability to continue to improve our product line and service levels, and consumer acceptance of our products, product quality, innovation and brand image;

●	Our ability to achieve and maintain acceptable levels of product quality and acceptable product return and warranty claims rates;

●	Pending and unforeseen litigation and the potential for adverse publicity associated with litigation;

●	Industry competition and the adequacy of our intellectual property rights to protect our products and brand from competitive or infringing activities;

●	Our “just-in-time” manufacturing processes with minimal levels of inventory, which may leave us vulnerable to shortages in supply;

●	Our dependence on significant suppliers and our ability to maintain relationships with key suppliers, including several sole-source suppliers;

●	Rising commodity costs and other inflationary pressures;

●	Risks inherent in global sourcing activities;

Overview

Business Overview

Select Comfort designs, manufactures, markets and supports a line of adjustable-firmness mattresses featuring air-chamber technology. The air-chamber technology of our proprietary Sleep Number® bed allows adjustable firmness on each side of the mattress and provides a sleep surface that is clinically proven to provide better sleep quality and greater relief of back pain compared to traditional mattress products. In addition, we market and sell bedding and other sleep-related products which focus on providing personalized comfort to complement the Sleep Number bed and provide a better night’s sleep for consumers.

We generate revenue by selling our products through two distribution channels. The Company-Controlled channel, which includes Retail, Direct Marketing and E-Commerce, sells directly to consumers. Our Wholesale channel sells to and through the QVC shopping channel and wholesale customers in Alaska, Hawaii and Australia.

Mission, Vision and Strategy

Our mission is to improve lives by individualizing sleep experiences. Our vision is to become the new standard in sleep by providing individualized sleep experiences and elevating people’s expectations above the “one-size-fits-all” solution offered by other mattress brands.

We are executing against a defined strategy which focuses on the following key components:

●

Know our customers as no one else can…use that insight to set new standards in end-to-end customer experience;

●

Broaden awareness and consideration…to take share; earn leadership in premium sleep; and

●

Leverage our core business to achieve new levels of margin…to fund acceleration and innovation.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Annual Results

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, the timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, timing of QVC shows, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. As a result, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:

●

Net income increased 35% to $22.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago. Excluding a $5.6 million non-recurring, non-cash charge associated with our chief executive officer (CEO) transition, as adjusted net income increased 57% to $26.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with the same period one year ago.

●

Net sales increased 36% to $262.4 million, compared with $193.1 million for the same period one year ago, primarily due to a 34% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel.

●

Operating income improved to $34.3 million, or 13.1% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $26.4 million, or 13.7% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. Excluding CEO transition costs, as adjusted operating income improved to $39.9 million, or 15.2% of net sales. The operating income improvement was driven by strong comparable sales growth and continued efficiency enhancements. Retail sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, increased by 34% from one year ago to $1.9 million.

●

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $32.2 million for the same period one year ago.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 with Three Months Ended April 2, 2011

Net sales

Net sales increased 36% to $262.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $193.1 million for the same period one year ago. The sales increase was primarily driven by a 34% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel. Company-Controlled sales of mattress units increased 25% compared to the same period one year ago. Average mattress sales per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 9%. Sales of other products and services increased by 35%.

The $69.3 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $58.0 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores and a $6.2 million sales increase resulting from net new store openings; (ii) a $3.0 million increase in Direct and E-Commerce sales; and (iii) a $2.1 million increase in Wholesale channel sales.

Gross profit

The gross profit rate decreased to 62.6% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with 63.8% for the prior year period. Approximately 1.1 percentage points (“ppt.”) of the gross profit rate decrease was due to strong response to key consumer events, including the close-out and re-launch of our classic series beds and QVC events, which impacted product mix. An additional 1.3 ppt. of the gross profit rate decrease was due to a variety of factors that can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, including changes to enhance the customer experience that impacted warranty, product return and exchange costs, and higher logistics expenses associated with new stores, new product launches and fuel price increases. These decreases were partially offset by a 1.2 ppt. gross profit rate improvement resulting from product price increases over the last year, leverage from the higher sales volume and manufacturing efficiencies.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 32% to $106.2 million, or 40.5% of net sales, compared with $80.3 million, or 41.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $25.9 million increase was primarily due to an $11.4 million, or 48%, increase in media spending, an increase in variable selling expenses due to the higher sales volume, and an increase in customer financing expenses as a larger percentage of our customers took advantage of promotional financing offers. The sales and marketing expense rate declined 1.1 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact of the 36% net sales increase.

Index

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $1.3 million to $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $15.6 million in the prior year, but decreased to 6.5% of net sales, compared with 8.1% of net sales one year ago. The $1.3 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to (i) a $1.2 million increase in employee compensation expenses resulting from an increase in employee headcount to support the growth of the business, salary and wage rate increases that were in-line with inflation, and increased stock-based compensation expense; (ii) a $0.8 million increase in outside consulting expenses; and (iii) $0.3 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business. These increases were partially offset by reductions in performance-based incentive compensation and rent expense. The G&A expense rate decreased by 1.6 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact of the 36% net sales increase.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $1.3 million, or 0.5% of net sales, compared with $0.7 million, or 0.4% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $0.6 million increase was due to increased investments in product innovations during 2012.

CEO transition costs

Asset impairment charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized asset impairment charges of $4 thousand related to certain store assets. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, we recognized asset impairment charges of $0.1 million related to production machinery and computer equipment.

Other income (expense), net

Other income, net was $7 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with other expense, net of $30 thousand for the comparable period one year ago. The current-year improvement in other income (expense), net was mainly due to the increase in our average cash and marketable debt securities balance for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with the same period one year ago.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with $9.8 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased to 34.7% compared with 37.1% for the prior-year period. The prior-year effective tax rate was impacted by additional expense related to an increase in unrecognized tax benefits for certain federal and state tax matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities of $181.0 million compared with $146.3 million as of December 31, 2011. The $34.7 million increase was primarily due to $44.5 million of cash provided by operating activities offset by $9.3 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and April 2, 2011 (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	44.5		$	32.2
Investing activities		(9.3	)		(5.4	)
Financing activities		(0.6	)		(1.0	)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	34.7		$	25.9

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $44.5 million compared with $32.2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2012. The $12.3 million year-over-year increase in cash from operating activities was comprised of a $5.8 million increase in our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with the same period one year ago, a $5.8 million increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, and a $0.7 million increase in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities. The $5.8 million increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities was mainly due to the timing of payments and receipts, including income tax payments, partially offset by the payment of 2011 performance-based incentive compensation in the first quarter of 2012.

Index

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of $9.3 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $2.7 million for the same period one year ago. Capital expenditures - primarily for new stores, repositioned and remodeled stores, and continued investment in customer-management systems and other information technology that supports the growth of the business - are projected to be approximately $50.0 million in 2012 compared with $23.5 million in 2011. Investing activities for the three months ended April 2, 2011 also included the replacement of an outstanding letter of credit held by our workers’ compensation insurance carrier with a $2.7 million restricted cash deposit.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million for the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts and payments on capital lease obligations are included in the net change in short-term borrowings. Financing activities for both periods reflect the vesting of employee restricted stock awards and exercise of employee stock options along with the associated excess tax benefits.

As of March 31, 2012, the remaining authorization under our stock repurchase program was $206.8 million. In 2012, we plan to reinitiate repurchasing our stock with the objective to maintain common shares outstanding at current levels. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.

Our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Credit Agreement”) provides a $20.0 million secured revolving credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including up to $10.0 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amounts available under this credit facility. The Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2012. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum net worth requirements, and maintenance of an aggregate principal balance of zero under the Credit Agreement for a period of not less than 30 consecutive days in each fiscal year. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in our assets and those of our domestic subsidiaries. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $20.0 million was available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had no outstanding letters of credit.

Our $181.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our credit facility are expected to provide sufficient operating liquidity and funding for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. In addition, our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require significant additional capital to fund operations or organic growth.

We have an agreement with GE Money Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (“GE Agreement”). The GE Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement and a minimum cash requirement. As of March 31, 2012 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Under the terms of the GE Agreement, GE Money Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities as of March 31, 2012. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

At March 31, 2012, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls
