NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF CRAFTMADE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note 1 — BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting, and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Craftmade International, Inc. (“Craftmade”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Trade Source International, Inc. (“TSI”), and two 50% owned limited liability companies, Prime/Home Impressions, LLC (“PHI”) and Design Trends, LLC (“Design Trends”). Craftmade and its subsidiaries including TSI, PHI and Design Trends are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Company”. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading; however, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005. The financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Note 3 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
    Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted shares beginning in the first quarter of adoption. Compensation cost for awards granted prior to, but not vested as of, the date the Company adopted SFAS 123R were based on the grant date fair value and attributes originally used to value those awards.
    For three months ended September 30, 2005, compensation expense from unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005 totaled $9,000. There were no options granted in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
    The following table shows pro forma net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS 123. The pro forma results for the three months ended September 30, 2004 are compared to actual results for the three months ended September 30, 2005 where stock option expense is included in reported net income. The pro forma effects may not be representative of expense in future periods since the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant is amortized to expense over the vesting period and additional options may be granted or options may be cancelled in future years.

Note 4 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
    The Company operates in two reportable segments, Craftmade and TSI. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on their net sales, income before minority interests and income taxes, and cash flows.
    The Company is organized on a combination of product type and customer base. The Craftmade segment primarily derives its revenue from home furnishings including ceiling fans, light kits, bathstrip lighting, lamps, light bulbs, door chimes, ventilation systems and other lighting accessories offered primarily through lighting showrooms, certain major retail chains and catalog houses. The TSI segment derives its revenue from outdoor lighting, portable lamps, indoor lighting and fan accessories marketed solely to mass merchandisers.
    The following table presents sales and income for the reportable segments:

    Total assets for the TSI segment were $5,375,000 lower on September 30, 2005 than as reported on June 30, 2005. This is primarily due to a decrease of cash in the amount of $5,692,000. See the discussion in Item 2: Liquidity and Capital Resources for the uses of cash. The following table presents the total assets for the reportable segments:

Note 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    As more fully described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005, the Company is a party to a lawsuit alleging patent infringement related to a patent held by Lamps Plus, Inc. In November 2003, a jury verdict held that the Company willfully infringed on the patent. The jury awarded damages of $143,385, and Lamps Plus filed a motion to seek treble damages plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. On September 14, 2004, the Court entered a Judgment and Permanent Injunction and issued an Order Awarding Attorneys’ Fees. The Judgment awards Lamps Plus $143,385 in actual damages plus costs of court. The Order awards $600,000 in attorneys’ fees to Lamps Plus. The Company and other defendants in the lawsuit have appealed the Judgment and Order, and the outcome of the appeal is uncertain. This appeal is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
    Craftmade has an agreement with Dolan Northwest, LLC (the owner of the other 50% of Design Trends) pursuant to which Dolan Northwest is responsible for the judgment rendered in the lawsuit, plus all costs and expenses, including legal fees and court costs, associated with the judgment. Dolan Northwest has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs or other expenses associated with said judgment. Patrick Dolan has unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Dolan Northwest under this agreement.
    If the defendants’ appeal is unsuccessful, according to the above mentioned agreement, any damages would be the responsibility of Dolan Northwest, LLC. Pursuant to this agreement, Dolan Northwest filed a deposit in lieu of supersedeas bond with the court. Accordingly, given the agreement and deposit in lieu of supersedeas bond, management believes that there is no contingent liability for the Company.

    On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with Frost National Bank (“Frost”) that renews the Company’s promissory note in the amount of $20,000,000 at the interest rate of the LIBOR index plus the following amounts based on “Debt to Net Worth”. The Agreement is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2007. Additionally, the Agreement does not have a provision where the outstanding balance of this note can be due upon demand. Financial covenants of the Agreement are amended to remove the Interest Coverage Ratio and modify the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio from 1.5:1 to 1.25:1. Other covenants and restrictions that apply to this Agreement limit the Company’s debt to tangible net worth ratio to be less than 3.0 to 1.0 after December 31, 2005. The Company has agreed not to purchase its stock if its debt to tangible net worth exceeds 3.0 to 1.0. The Company’s debt to tangible net worth ratio totaled 2.8 to 1.0 at September 30, 2005.

Some of the important factors which would cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other things, the dependency of TSI, PHI and Design Trends on sales to select mass merchandiser customers and changes in those relationships, changes in anticipated levels of sales, whether due to future national or regional economic and competitive conditions, changes in relationships with Craftmade customers, customer acceptance of existing and new products, pricing pressures due to excess capacity, cost increases, changes in tax or interest rates, unfavorable economic and political developments in Asia (the location of the Company’s primary vendors) and changes in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. and Taiwan dollar or Chinese yuan, declining conditions in the home construction industry, inability to realize deferred tax assets, labor strikes, lockouts, and other labor slow downs, the ability of the Company to import merchandise from foreign countries without significantly restrictive tariffs, duties or quotas and the ability of the Company to source, ship and deliver items from foreign countries to its U.S. distribution centers at reasonable prices and rates and in a timely fashion, disruption or failure of management information systems, fluctuation of the results of operations from quarter to quarter, restrictions of the Company’s credit facility could restrict operational flexibility, retention of key personnel, as well as other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. When used in this document, the words “believes,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “forecast,” “might,” “could” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to Craftmade or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
 
    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
    Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations following are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the Company’s conclusions. The Company continually evaluates the information used to make these estimates as its business and the economic environment changes. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on its financial statements, so the Company considers these to be its critical accounting policies. As the financial statements contained herein are condensed, one should also read the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005 regarding expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates.
 
    Stock-Based Compensation
 
    Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted shares beginning in the first quarter of adoption. Compensation cost for awards granted prior to, but not vested as of, the date the

    Overview
 
    Management reviews a number of key indicators to evaluate the Company’s financial performance, including net sales, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses by segment. A condensed overview of results for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the corresponding prior year period can be summarized as follows (in thousands):

    Results of Operations
 
    Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
 
    Net Sales. Net sales for the Company increased $1,444,000 or 5.0% to $30,469,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $29,025,000 for the same period last year. The increase in sales was due to increased sales in the Craftmade segment partially offset by a decline in sales in the TSI segment.
 
    Net sales from the Craftmade segment increased $1,911,000 or 13.1% to $16,511,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, from $14,600,000 for the same period last year. The increase resulted from $2,014,000 of incremental net sales from the acquisition of Bill Teiber Co., Inc. (“Teiber”). The remaining $103,000 decrease in sales of the Craftmade segment resulted from a general decline across product lines.
 
    Based on sales results from fiscal year 2005, management anticipates that net sales from the Craftmade segment, excluding results from the Teiber acquisition, will improve in fiscal year 2006 as newly introduced products become available, assuming continued strength in the housing sector and the overall U.S. economy. Management believes that the Teiber acquisition will continue to provide incremental growth opportunities throughout fiscal year 2006.
 
    Net sales of the TSI segment declined $467,000 or 3.2% to $13,958,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, from $14,425,000 for the same period last year, as summarized in the following table (in thousands except percentage data):

    The TSI segment includes the Trade Source entity which is wholly owned by the Company and the Prime/Home Impressions (“PHI”) and Design Trends entities which are 50% owned companies. Hereafter, TSI refers to the segment and Trade Source to the entity. The net decrease in sales of Trade Source primarily resulted from a decrease in sales of the mix and match fan program to Wal-Mart and promotional indoor lighting products.
 
    The decline in Design Trends’ net sales was primarily due the previously disclosed loss of four regional distribution centers which serve approximately 383 stores. More detail of this event is provided in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005, and the Company’s Form 8-K filing dated April 25, 2005. Design Trends is the primary vendor to Lowe’s for its mix and match portable lamp program, and such program is currently available in approximately 722 Lowe’s stores.
 
    The increase in net sales of PHI primarily resulted from the annual reset of the fan accessory and lamp replacement parts business to Lowe’s.
 
    Future growth of the TSI segment, exclusive of Design Trends, is contingent upon the success of the Company’s ongoing efforts to introduce new products to existing customers and to expand the business to new customers.
 
    Gross Profit. Gross profit of the Company as a percentage of net sales decreased to 28.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to 29.4% for the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales of the Craftmade segment decreased 3.1% to 35.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to 38.6% in the same period last year. The decline in the gross margin of the Craftmade segment was primarily the result of increased product costs due to a weaker U.S. dollar compared to the Taiwan dollar. The Company anticipates that margins for the Craftmade division will stabilize in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 due to a decrease in cost from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Taiwan dollar and from establishing relationships with manufacturers that are located in other countries with a more favorable exchange rate.
 
    The gross profit of the TSI segment increased to 20.7% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to 20.0% of sales in the same prior year period, as summarized in the following table:

Percent Change
    -5.7 %     2.4 %     3.4 %     0.7 %
    The net increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the TSI segment resulted from changes in mix of (i) vendor program accruals as a percentage of gross sales, (ii) sales mix, and (iii) changes in composition of shipment’s origin. Orders shipped directly from the Company’s vendors to its customers are typically at lower margins. Orders shipped domestically from the Company’s warehouse are typically at higher margins to offset the costs associated with storage and handling of products.

Table of Contents

    Specifically, margins decreased at the Trade Source entity from (i) a 1.2% increase in vendor programs as a percentage of gross sales primarily related to annual product resets at Lowe’s and (ii) a increased product costs from changes in mix as described above. The improvement in gross margins at Design Trends resulted from lower sales discounts in the current year quarter from the sale of slow moving inventory and a 1.8% reduction in vendor programs as a percentage of gross sales, primarily from lower amounts set aside for product markdowns. The increase in margins at PHI resulted from the increased sale of higher margin products as a result of the annual reset which occurred in September 2005.
 
    For fiscal year 2006, gross profit as a percentage of sales of the TSI segment is expected to remain consistent with the quarter ended September 30, 2005 provided that a similar sales mix, customer concentration and level of vendor program commitment continues for this segment in fiscal year 2006.
 
    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of the Company decreased $511,000 to $4,898,000 or 16.1% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from $5,409,000 or 18.6% of net sales for the prior year.
 
    Total SG&A expense of the Craftmade segment decreased $456,000 to $3,331,000 or 20.2% of sales compared to $3,787,000 or 25.9% of sales for the same period in the previous year. The decrease in SG&A of the Craftmade segment is summarized as follows (in thousands):

    Quarter Ended     From  
    September 30,     Prior Year  
    2005     2004     Period

  $ 572     $ 966       ($394 )
Salaries and wages
    1,116       905       211  
Other
    1,643       1,916       (273 )
 
                 
 
  $ 3,331     $ 3,787       ($456 )
 
                 
    Lower accounting, legal and consulting fees in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were primarily due to higher costs incurred in the same period in the prior year to (i) address internal controls issues, (ii) evaluate the proper interpretation of FIN 46 with respect to the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries and (iii) an increase in cost to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
    The increase in salaries and wages was impacted by higher salaries due to adjustments of current employees to remain competitive with market conditions as well as the addition of seven Teiber employees, and additional accounting and IT staff.
 
    The decrease in other costs primarily resulted from lower advertising and health insurance costs.
 
    Total SG&A expenses of the TSI segment decreased $55,000 to $1,567,000 or 11.2% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from $1,622,000 or 11.2% of sales for the same period in the previous year.
 
    Management anticipates that based on current market conditions, future SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales, excluding accounting, legal and consulting fees related to compliance with Section 404, will be relatively consistent with results generated in fiscal year 2005. Management anticipates that accounting, legal and consulting costs, including costs to comply with Section 404, will be reduced by approximately 35% to 50% of such costs in fiscal year 2005.
 
    Interest Expense. Net interest expense of the Company increased $74,000 to $304,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from $230,000 for the same period in the previous year. This increase was primarily the result of higher outstanding balances from the Company’s revolving lines of credit, combined with higher interest rates in effect during the period. The balance on the Company’s revolving lines of credit increased primarily as a result of Craftmade’s borrowings to finance its acquisition of Teiber. In

15


Table of Contents

    addition, the outstanding balance on the Company’s facility note was lower than in the same period during fiscal 2005, and the interest rate on the facility note remained unchanged compared to the same period in the prior year. Management anticipates that in the future, lower outstanding balances on its lines of credit may offset expected increases in interest rates, resulting in total interest expense that is not significantly different from the expense generated in fiscal year 2005.
 
    Minority Interests. Minority interests generated by the Company’s 50% owned subsidiaries increased $168,000 to $734,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $566,000 for the same period in the previous year. The increase was primarily due to a $217,000 increase as a result of the increased sales and gross profit of PHI, partially offset by a decline of $49,000 as a result of the in sales and gross profit of Design Trends, as discussed above.
 
    Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income tax was $920,000 or 34.7% of income before income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $770,000 or 35.5% of income before taxes for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in percentage resulted from the tax benefit obtained from receiving an 85% dividends received deduction for the repatriation of undistributed 2005 foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Company expects to receive a similar benefit throughout calendar year 2006.
 
    Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
    The Company’s cash decreased $5,691,000 from $9,145,000 at June 30, 2005 to $3,454,000 at September 30, 2005. The Company’s operating activities provided cash of $3,426,000.
 
    The $36,000 of cash used in investing activities related to additions to property and equipment, which consisted primarily of purchases of computer equipment and office furniture.
 
    Cash used in financing activities of $9,081,000 was primarily the result (i) net payments on the Company’s revolving lines of credit of $8,010,000, (ii) principal payments on the Company’s notes payable of $540,000 and (iii) cash dividends of $531,000.
 
    The Company’s management believes that its current lines of credit, combined with cash flows from operations, are adequate to fund the Company’s current operating needs, debt service payments and any future dividend payments, as well as its projected growth over the next twelve months.
 
    Management anticipates that future cash flows will be used primarily to retire existing debt, pay dividends, fund potential acquisitions and distribute earnings to minority interest members. The Company remains committed to its business strategy of creating long-term earnings growth, maximizing stockholder value through internal improvements, making selective acquisitions and dispositions of assets, focusing on cash flow and retaining quality personnel.
 
    At September 30, 2005, subject to continued compliance with certain covenants and restrictions, the Company had a $20,000,000 line of credit with The Frost National Bank (“Frost”) at an interest rate of prime (6.75% at September 30, 2005) less 0.5% or LIBOR (4.4067% at September 30, 2005) plus 1.50% to 2.25% depending on the debt to worth ratio. The line of credit is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2005.
 
    On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Frost that renews the Company’s promissory note in the amount of $20,000,000. This loan agreement is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2007. Information regarding the promissory note is set forth in Note 6 — “Subsequent Events” to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
 
    On February 25, 2005, the line of credit was amended to provide, among other things, a $3,000,000 increase in the commitment initially through March 31, 2005 and subsequently through December 31, 2005. Accordingly, there was $14,990,000 outstanding under the $20,000,000 line of credit at September 30, 2005 and no outstanding balance on the $3,000,000 amendment.
 
    Under this line of credit, for each one-percentage point (1%) incremental increase in LIBOR, the

16


Table of Contents

    Company’s annualized interest expense would increase by approximately $150,000. Consequently, an increase in LIBOR of five percentage points (5%) would result in an estimated annualized increase in interest expense for the Company of approximately $750,000.
 
    At September 30, 2005, Design Trends had a $2,000,000 loan agreement with Frost, of which none had been utilized. The loan matured on October 31, 2005 and was not extended.
 
    One of the Company’s 50%-owned subsidiaries, PHI, has a $3,000,000 promissory note (the “$3 Million Line of Credit”) with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”), at an interest rate equal to the monthly LIBOR index (3.8584% at September 30, 2005) plus 2%, which expired on October 15, 2005 and was subsequently renewed through December 15, 2006. The terms of the renewal remained substantially unchanged from the original $3 Million Line of Credit. There was an outstanding balance of $1,548,000 at September 30, 2005. The PHI members, which include TSI, agreed to be guarantors of the $3 Million Line of Credit in order to induce the lender to provide these loans to PHI.
 
    Based on the amounts outstanding at September 30, 2005 under the $3 Million Line of Credit, for each one-percentage point (1%) incremental increase in LIBOR, the Company’s annualized interest expense would increase by approximately $15,000. Consequently, an increase in LIBOR of five percentage points (5%) would result in an estimated annualized increase in interest expense for the Company of approximately $77,000.
 
    At September 30, 2005, $2,331,000 remained outstanding under the note payable for the Company’s 378,000 square foot operating facility. The loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $100,378 of principal and interest at 8.302%. The Company’s management believes that this facility will be sufficient for its purposes for the foreseeable future. The facility note payable matures on January 1, 2008.
 
    Fanthing Electrical Corp. (“Fanthing”), Craftmade’s ceiling fan vendor, has provided Craftmade with a $1,000,000 credit limit, pursuant to which it will manufacture and ship ceiling fans prior to receipt of payment from Craftmade. Accordingly, payment can be deferred until delivery of such products. At present levels, such credit facility is equivalent to approximately three weeks’ supply of ceiling fans and represents a supplier commitment, which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, is unusual for the industry and favorable to the Company. This manufacturer is not required to provide this credit facility under its agreement with Craftmade, and it may discontinue this arrangement at any time.
 
    Management does not anticipate that the covenants and restrictions of its lines of credit and loan agreements will limit the Company’s growth potential.
 
    TSI maintained inventory levels of $5,097,000 at September 30, 2005. TSI’s sales are highly concentrated with Lowe’s. Should the revenues generated by TSI from its programs with this customer be at levels significantly lower than originally anticipated, the Company would be required to find other customers for this inventory. There can be no assurances that the Company would be able to obtain additional customers for this inventory or that any alternative sources would generate similar sales levels and profit margins as anticipated with the current mass merchandiser customer.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
    The information set forth below constitutes a “forward looking statement.” See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cautionary Statement.
 
    The Company currently purchases a substantial amount of ceiling fans and other products of its Craftmade segment from Fanthing, a Taiwanese company. The Company’s verbal understanding with Fanthing provides that all transactions are to be denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the understanding further provides that, in the event that the value of the U.S. dollar appreciates or depreciates against the Taiwan dollar by one Taiwan dollar or more, Fanthing’s prices will be accordingly adjusted by 2.5%.
 
    The Company also purchases a substantial amount of other products of its Craftmade and TSI segments from numerous manufacturing companies located in the People’s Republic of China (“China”). On July

Table of Contents

    21, 2005, China’s central bank adjusted the exchange rate of the Chinese yuan to the U.S. dollar and continuing fluctuations in the Chinese yuan against the U.S. dollar are expected. All transactions with Chinese manufacturers are denominated in U.S. dollars, but fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan could affect the pricing of items manufactured in China.
 
    The following table summarizes the exchange rate of the United States dollar (“USD”) to the Taiwan dollar (“TWD”) and Chinese yuan (“YUAN”):

    A sharp appreciation of the Taiwan dollar or the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar could materially adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company has not entered into any instruments to minimize this market risk of adverse changes in currency rates because the Company believes (i) the cost associated with such instruments would outweigh the benefits that would be obtained from utilizing such instruments and (ii) this risk is not unique to Craftmade as other competitors also purchase a majority of their product from Asian manufacturers.
 
    During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company purchased approximately $4,583,000 of products from Fanthing and $11,548,000 of products from Chinese manufacturing companies. The Company estimates that an appreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Taiwan dollar to the U.S. dollar of 1% would result in an estimated annual increase in cost of goods sold of approximately $920,000 and a decrease in net income of $527,000, based on the Company’s purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on an annualized basis. A 10% incremental appreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Taiwan dollar to the U.S. Dollar would result in an estimated annualized increase in cost of goods sold of approximately $5,994,000 and a decrease in net income of $3,204,000, based on the Company’s purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on an annualized basis. A 20% incremental appreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Taiwan dollar to the U.S. Dollar would result in an increase of approximately $12,447,000 and a decrease in net income of $6,702,000, on an annualized basis, based on the Company’s purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on an annualized basis. The amounts are estimates of the financial impact of an appreciation of the Chinese yuan and the Taiwan dollar relative to the U.S. dollar and are based on annualizations of the Company’s purchases from Chinese manufacturing companies and Fanthing for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Consequently, these amounts are not necessarily indicative of the effect of such changes with respect to an entire year.
 
    Other market risks at September 30, 2005 have not changed significantly from those discussed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2005.
 
    For a discussion of the effects of hypothetical changes in interest rates, see “Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
    Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
    As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Notwithstanding the

     F.      Borrower has requested that Lender modify certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, all as hereinafter provided, and in consideration thereof Borrower has made certain agreements with Lender as hereinafter more fully set forth.
     G.      Lender has agreed to such requests, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows:
     1.      Acknowledgment of Outstanding Balance. The parties hereto acknowledge that the outstanding principal balance of the $3,000,000.00 Note as of October 27, 2005 is ZERO AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($0.00) and $3,000,000.00 is available for draw and the outstanding principal balance of the $20,000,000.00 Note is FIFTEEN MILLION NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($15,971,000.00) and $4,029,000.00 is available for draw.
     2.      Renewal and Extension of Maturity. The $20,000,000.00 Note is hereby renewed and the maturity of the $20,000,000.00 Note is hereby extended to October 31, 2007.
     3.      Required Payments. From and after the effective date of this Agreement, principal and interest under the $20,000,000.00 Note shall be due and payable as follows:
Interest only on amounts outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable monthly as it accrues, on the last day of each and every calendar month, beginning November 30, 2005, and continuing regularly and monthly thereafter until October 31, 2007, when the entire amount hereof, principal and interest then remaining unpaid, shall be then due and payable; interest being calculated on the unpaid principal each day principal is outstanding and all payments made credited to any collection costs and late charges, to the discharge of the interest accrued and to the reduction of the principal, in such order as Lender shall determine.
     4.      Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby substituted and replaced with an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof.
     5.      Usury. No provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall require the payment or permit the collection, application or receipt of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable state or federal law. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein or in any such other instrument provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for herein or in any such instrument, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and neither Borrower nor any endorsers of the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note nor their respective successors, assigns or personal representatives shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent it is in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender to at all times comply with the usury and other laws relating to the Loan Documents and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof, to the extent applicable thereto. In the event Lender or other holder of the $20,000,000.00
     
MODIFICATION, RENEWAL AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT
  Page 2 of 6

 


 

Note or $3,000,000.00 Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note and, if upon such application the principal balance of the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith paid to Borrower and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum interest allowed to be charged by applicable law, Borrower and Lender or other holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note is to the greatest extent possible less than the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references in the $20,000,000.00 Note or $3,000,000.00 Note to “applicable law” for purposes of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest.
     6.      Release and Waiver of Claims. In consideration of (i) the modification of certain provisions of the Note, as herein provided, and (ii) the other benefits received by Borrower hereunder, Borrower hereby RELEASES, RELINQUISHES and forever DISCHARGES Lender, as well as its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives, of and from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action of any and every kind or character, past or present, which Borrower may have against Lender and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives arising out of or with respect to (a) any right or power to bring any claim against Lender for usury or to pursue any cause of action against Lender based on any claim of usury, and (b) any and all transactions relating to the Loan Documents occurring prior to the date hereof, including any loss, cost or damage, of any kind or character, arising out of or in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the acts, actions or omissions of Lender, and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives, including any breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any duty of fair dealing, breach of confidence, breach of funding commitment, undue influence, duress, economic coercion, conflict of interest, negligence, bad faith, malpractice, intentional or negligent infliction of mental distress, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with corporate governance or prospective business advantage, breach of contract, deceptive trade practices, libel, slander or conspiracy, but in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
     7.      Reaffirmation of Representations, Etc. Borrower hereby reaffirms to Lender each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents.

     9.      No Release of Liens. This Agreement in no way acts as a release or relinquishment of the liens, security interests and rights (the “Liens”) created or evidenced by the Security Agreements. The Liens are hereby ratified and confirmed by Borrower in all respects and are extended to secure (i) the principal amount of the $20,000,000.00 Note and $3,000,000.00 Note, (ii) all interest, charges and other sums payable with respect thereto, and (iii) the performance of all other obligations under the Security Agreements.
     10.      Additional Renewals and Extensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or inferred hereby or in any other instrument executed by Borrower or in any other action or conduct undertaken by Borrower on or before the date hereof, the agreements, covenants and provisions contained herein shall constitute the only evidence of Lender’s consent to extend the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents in the manner set forth herein. No express or implied consent to any further extensions and/or modifications involving any of the matters set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be inferred or implied from Lender’s execution of this Agreement. Further, Lender’s execution of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver (either express or implied) of the requirement that any further extensions and/or modifications of the Loan Documents shall require the express written approval of Lender, no such approval (either express or implied) having been given as of the date hereof.
     11.      Miscellaneous. (a) As modified hereby, the provisions of the $20,000,000.00 Note and $3,000,000.00 Note and the Security Agreements shall continue in full force and effect, and the Borrower acknowledges and reaffirms its liability to Lender thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern.
     (b)      Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the execution and administration of this Agreement and the modification of the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, all appraisal costs, title insurance costs, legal fees incurred by Lender and filing fees.
     (c)      Any default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations herein contained shall constitute a default under the Loan Documents and shall allow Lender to exercise all of its remedies set forth in the Loan Documents.
     (d)      Lender does not, by its execution of this Agreement, waive any rights it may have against any person not a party to this Agreement.

     (e)      In case any of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

as adjusted provided below, or (y) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, but in no event shall interest exceed the maximum interest permitted by law (“Libor Rate”). Such rate will be adjusted based upon Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s Compliance Certificate as provided in Section 10(c) of the Loan Agreement, with the “Debt to Worth Ratio” calculation. If Borrower fails to provide the Compliance Certificate as provided in Section 10(c) then the percentage will be 2.75% until the delivery of the next quarter’s Compliance Certificate.
As used herein, the “London Interbank Offered Rate” shall mean with respect to any Interest Period (defined below), the rate of interest per annum (rounded to the nearest 1/16 of 1%—and if the rate is equidistant to the lower and higher nearest 1/16 of 1%, rounded upwards to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) quoted in U.S. Dollars by the British Bankers’ Association at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on the first day of such Interest Period on which deposits in immediately available funds are offered to first class banks in the interbank eurodollar market (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion), such deposits being for a one (1) month period (“Interest Period”), and in amounts equal to or comparable to the amount of the Advance. In the event that the London Interbank Offered Rate is no longer published or reported as specified above, then the Lender shall use the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal (Central Edition) in the “Money Rates” section as the “London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR)” for a period of time equal or comparable to the applicable Interest Period, as of five (5) Business Days preceding the date of the Advance. Each determination by Lender of the London Interbank Offered Rate shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, and may be computed using any reasonable averaging and attribution method.
     (c)      Increased Cost. If any governmental agency, court, central bank or comparable authority shall impose any taxation, required level of reserves (except reserve requirements for certificates of deposit), deposits, insurance or capital, or similar requirements against assets, deposits or credit extended by Lender or shall impose on Lender or the eurodollar market any other condition affecting Advances, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost of Lender making or maintaining Advances or reduce

4


 

any sums received or receivable by Lender under this Loan Agreement or the Notes by a material amount as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, then Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such increased costs or reduced sums upon demand. Nothing herein will be construed to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than the highest rate permitted by law.
     2.      Promissory Notes. The Loans shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (whether one or more, together with any renewals, extensions and increases thereof, the “Notes”) duly executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender, in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Interest on the Notes shall accrue at the rate set forth herein. The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Notes and in this Loan Agreement.

     14.      Waiver and Agreement. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

     18.      Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance.

ARBITRATION
Upon written request of either Lender or Borrower, any controversy or claim between or among the parties hereto including but not limited to those arising out of or relating to the Loan, any of the loan documents or any related agreements or instruments executed in connection with the Loan (the “Loan Documents”), including any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the “Special Rules” set forth below unless both Lender and Borrower, in their respective sole discretion, agree in writing to mediate the dispute prior to submitting to binding arbitration. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any party to this Agreement may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this agreement applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action. The party that requests arbitration has the burden to initiate the arbitration proceedings pursuant to and by complying with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall pay all associated administrative and filing fees.
The arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas and administered by the American Arbitration Association. All arbitration hearings will be commenced within sixty (60) days of the written request for arbitration, and if the arbitration hearing is not commenced within the sixty (60) days, the party that requested arbitration shall have waived its election to arbitrate. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation or repose and any waivers contained in this Agreement; or (ii) be a waiver by Lender of the protection afforded to it by 12 U.S.C. Sec. 91 or any substantially equivalent state law; or (iii) limit the right of Lender hereto (A) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose against any real or personal property collateral in accordance with applicable law, or (C) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver in accordance with applicable law. Lender may exercise such self help remedies, foreclose upon such property, or obtain such provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Agreement or

 


 

any other Loan Document. At Lender’s option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be accomplished by any of the following: the exercise of a power of sale under the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial foreclosure. Neither this exercise of self help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the controversy or claim occasioning resort to such remedies.
FACSIMILE DOCUMENTS AND SIGNATURES
For purposes of negotiating and finalizing the Written Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), if this document or any document executed in connection with the Loan is transmitted by facsimile machine (“fax”), it shall be treated for all purposes as an original document. Additionally, the signature of any party on this document transmitted by way of a facsimile machine shall be considered for all purposes as an original signature. Any such faxed document shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as an original document. At the request of any party, any faxed document shall be re-executed by each signatory party in an original form.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, TO COLLECT DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR WHICH IN ANY OTHER WAY ARISE OUT OF, ARE CONNECTED TO OR ARE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY THE JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY.
