VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION
Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2021
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed 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 January 31, 2021 (“Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022. The balance sheet at January 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation and Reclassification
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Virco Mfg. Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The reclassification of certain prior year sales allowances of approximately $ 480,000 and $ 869,000 was made for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively. The amounts of reclassification representing the replacement of damaged goods, previously presented in net sales, is presented in costs of goods sold in the accompanying prior period statements of income or operations, which conform to current period presentation.
Liquidity
Management evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months after the interim financial statements are issued. The Company has experienced an overall decline in net sales and net income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021. For the first nine-months of fiscal 2022 the Company experienced an increase in shipments and material increase in orders as schools received funding to support a return to classroom instruction. However, as a result of severe supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, the Company has experienced an increase in raw material prices and an increase in backlog which negatively impacted the Company’s net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2021.
As a result the Company was in violation of its financial covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2021. On December 7, 2021, the Company successfully negotiated and entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) with PNC Bank. Amendment No. 1 provided a limited waiver of the Company’s violation of the covenant to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter periods ended October 31, 2021, and amended the fixed charge coverage ratio as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for each of the consecutive four fiscal quarter periods of Borrowers ending January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, and (ii) 1.10 to 1.00 for each consecutive four fiscal quarter periods of Borrowers ending thereafter. In connection with Amendment No. 1, the Company also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $ 50,000 (see Note 7 ).
The Company expects the impact of supply chain constraints and COVID-19 to continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future and believes the economy will be adversely impacted for an indeterminate period, including the demand for its products and supply of materials and labor required to manufacture products. The extent of the impact will depend on numerous factors that are unknown, uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. Based on the Company’s current projections, including COVID-19 related costs and raw material costs, and its ability to introduce price increases and manage certain controllable expenditures, management believes it will maintain compliance with the financial covenants for the next 12 months after the interim financial statements are issued and that the Company’s existing cash, projected operating cash flows and available credit facilities, described in Note 7 , are adequate to meet its operating needs, liabilities and commitments over the next 12 months from the issuance of the interim financial statements.
Note 2. Seasonality and Management Use of Estimates
The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50 % of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and
12
carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has generally relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are educational institutions and government entities, which tend to pay accounts receivable slower than commercial customers. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021, management believes that the traditional peak season has been and will continue to be impacted by economic conditions related to COVID 19. The Company has experienced difficulty sourcing desired levels of temporary labor and permanent hires in the manufacturing and distribution facilities. In addition, the Company is experiencing supply chain disruptions for raw materials. These conditions have adversely impacted sales volume for the months of June, July, August, and September. In October, sales increased compared to the prior year. The Company anticipates that a larger portion of its annual sales will occur in fourth quarter of the current fiscal year compared to prior years.
The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs and stocking inventory. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of inventory; deferred tax assets and liabilities; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; liabilities under pension, warranty, self-insurance and environmental claims; and the accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after October 31, 2021, including those resulting from the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by our assumptions and estimates.
Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Updates
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for measuring and recognizing credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The adoption date, as modified by ASU 2019-10, will be for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Revenue Recognition
The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders. Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board ("FOB") destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
13
Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.
We do not consider our revenue generated through direct-to-customers and resellers to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.
Note 5. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and includes material, labor and factory overhead. The Company records valuation adjustments for the excess cost of the inventory over its estimated net realizable value. Valuation adjustments for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are calculated using an estimated percentage applied to inventories based on a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving products and component stage, inventory category, historical and forecasted consumption of sales, and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional valuation adjustments may be required. Due to reductions in sales volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.
The following table presents a breakdown of the Company’s inventories as of October 31, 2021, January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020:
10/31/2021 1/31/2021 10/31/2020

Raw materials 12,131 10,757 9,990
Total inventories $ 40,483 $ 38,270 $ 36,872
Note 6. Leases
The Company has operating leases on real property, equipment, and automobiles that expire at various dates. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses classification of the lease at commencement. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, as a lessee. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable, or the incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments using company specific credit spreads. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In accordance with ASC 842, quantitative information regarding our leases is as follows:

The Company and Virco Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Borrowers”) has a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (“PNC”). The Credit Agreement was amended numerous times since its origination in December 2011. On September 28, 2021, the Borrowers entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, which amended and restated the prior Credit Agreement. The material terms of the Restated Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those of the prior Credit Agreement.
The Restated Credit Agreement permits the Company to issue dividends or make payments with respect to the Company’s capital stock in an aggregate amount up to $ 3,000,000 during any fiscal year, provided that no default shall have occurred or is continuing or would result from any such payment, and the Company must demonstrate pro forma compliance with a 12-month trailing fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 :1.00 as of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of any such dividend or payment. The Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and contains numerous other covenants that limit under certain circumstances the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Borrowers. In connection with the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $ 50,000 . The maturity date of the Restated Credit Agreement is March 19, 2023.
The other material terms of the Restated Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those of the original Credit Agreement, consisting of (i) a revolving line of credit with a Maximum Revolving Advance Amount of $ 65,000,000 that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85 % of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60 % of the value of eligible inventory or 85 % of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus $ 15,000,000 from January through July of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves and (ii) an equipment loan of $ 2,000,000 . The Restated Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ personal property and certain of the Borrowers’ real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than March 19, 2023, and the Restated Credit Agreement is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Restated Credit Agreement. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions, including reduced borrowings under the revolving line to less than or equal $ 10,000,000 for a period of 30 consecutive days during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Restated Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio beginning on February 1 st , 2021 of not less than 1.10 to 1.00, and capital expenditures not to exceed $ 8,000,000 .
The Company was in violation of its financial covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2021 due to a decline in the Company’s net income primarily attributable to the effects of severe supply chain disruptions and labor shortages due to COVID-19. On December 7, 2021, the Company successfully negotiated and entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) with PNC Bank. Amendment No. 1 provided a limited waiver of the Company’s violation of the covenant to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter periods ended October 31, 2021, and amended the fixed charge coverage ratio as follows: (i) 1.00 to 1.00 for each of the consecutive four fiscal quarter periods of Borrowers ending January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, and (ii) 1.10 to 1.00 for each consecutive four fiscal quarter periods of Borrowers ending thereafter. In connection with Amendment No. 1, the Company also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable fee of $ 50,000 .
The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.25 % to 1.75 %, and the applicable margin for LIBOR Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 2.25 % to 2.75 %, and may be increased at the Lender’s option by 2.0 % during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period, but at most every three months for LIBOR Rate loans. The interest rate as of October 31, 2021 was 4.5 %. The Company also incurs a fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit at a rate of 0.375 %.
Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than March 19, 2023, and the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an early termination fee upon an earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Facility.
During the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, the impact of COVID-19 on liquidity was to moderate the seasonal increase in accounts receivable and production of inventory for summer delivery. Seasonal increases in accounts receivable and inventory
16
are traditionally financed through the Company’s line of credit with PNC Bank. Reductions in inventory were substantially offset by a reduction in borrowing under the revolving line with PNC Bank.
In addition to the financial covenants, the Restated Credit Agreement contains events of default as disclosed in Note 3 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended January 31, 2021. Substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Restated Credit Agreement, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion.
The Company's revolving line of credit with PNC is structured to provide seasonal credit availability during the Company's peak summer season. Approximately $ 13,741,000 was available for borrowing as of October 31, 2021.
Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2021, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.
Note 8. Income Taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As a part of this evaluation, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, the availability of tax carrybacks, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations (including cumulative losses in recent years), to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, and after considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the effects of seasonality on the Company’s business and the effects of severe supply chain disruptions and labor shortages due to COVID-19, the Company determined that its U.S. federal deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realizable, but that valuation allowances of $ 1,237,000 , $ 1,064,000 and $ 1,133,000 as of October 31, 2021, January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively, are needed for certain state NOL’s to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.
For the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rates were 18.2 % and 7.9 %, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rates were 22.2 % and 6.6 %, respectively. Effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 were primarily due to the change in forecasted mix of income before taxes in various jurisdictions, estimated permanent differences and the recording of a partial valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed. The Company has performed an analysis of the impact of the CARES Act and have determined that the impact would not be significant. The CARES Act provides single-employer pension companies additional time to meet the funding obligations. Consequently, the tax deduction related to such contributions will be deferred until the funding payment is made. The CARES Act also modifies the limitation for business interest expense deduction. The new limitation has increased from 30 to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income.
The January 31, 2016 and subsequent years remain open for examination by the IRS and state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under any state examination. The Company is currently under IRS examination for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 Federal tax return.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Incentive Plan
The Company's two stock incentive plans are the 2019 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and the 2011 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”).
Under the Company's 2019 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares to its employees in the form of restricted stock units and non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock awards. Restricted stock units and awards granted under the 2019 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units or awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the units or awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the units or awards granted. During the nine-month period ended October 31, 2021, the Company granted 68,870 awards to non-employee directors, vested 140,295 shares according to their terms and forfeited 0 shares under the 2019 Plan. As of October 31, 2021, there were approximately 628,435 shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.
Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to its employees in the form of restricted stock units and non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock awards. Restricted stock units and awards granted under the 2011 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units or awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the units or awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the units or awards granted. During the nine-month period ended October 31, 2021, the Company granted 0 restricted awards to non-employee directors and 0 units to its employees; vested 0 stock awards and 119,200 units according to their terms and forfeited 0 stock units under the 2011 Plan. As of October 31, 2021, there were approximately 12,892 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.
During the three months ended October 31, 2021, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $ 54,000 and $ 199,000 , respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and/or awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $ 65,000 and $ 188,000 , respectively.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and awards recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses was $ 164,000 and $ 595,000 , respectively.

Note 11. Retirement Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries cover certain employees under a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, entitled the Virco Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”). As more fully described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, benefit accruals under the Employees Retirement Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003. There is no service cost incurred under this plan.
The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Retirement Plan (the “VIP Plan”). As more fully described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen since December 31, 2003. During the second quarter ended July 31, 2021, the Company, at the retirees request, paid lump-sum distributions for the related benefit obligations. As the amount of the lump-sum settlement exceeded the sum of the service and interest cost for the year, the distribution was treated as a settlement in accordance with U.S. GAAP, resulting in plan settlement loss of $ 285,000 recorded in pension expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and an actuarial gain on the plan re-measurement of $ 2,059,000 , net of tax, recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021.
The net periodic pension cost for the Pension Plan and the VIP Plan for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Note 12. Warranty Accrual
The Company provides a warranty against all substantial defects in material and workmanship. The standard warranty offered on products sold through January 31, 2013 is ten years . Effective February 1, 2014 the Company modified its warranty to a limited lifetime warranty. The warranty effective February 1, 2014 is not anticipated to have a significant effect on warranty expense. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company modified the standard warranty offered on products sold after January 1, 2017 to provide specific warranty periods by product component, with no warranty period longer than ten years . The Company’s warranty is not a guarantee of service life, which depends upon events outside the Company’s control and may be different from the warranty period. The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both product sales data and an analysis of actual warranty claims incurred.
The following is a summary of the Company’s warranty-claim activity for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020:

Note 15. COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restriction on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. Through April 30, 2021, the Company operated its manufacturing and distribution facilities on a voluntary basis to give employees the flexibility to remain at home with children who are out of school or for other personal reasons as they deem necessary. Subsequent to April 30, 2021 and after vaccinations were available, the Company required all manufacturing and distribution employees to return to work. Appropriate measures are being taken to protect the health of employees performing essential on-site operations. Office employees and others who can work from home continued to work from home.
The Company’s Conway, Arkansas facilities, which represent approximately two thirds of the Company’s production and distribution capacity, has been fully operational during the pandemic. In accordance with State of California and local orders that include guidance on the definition and responsibilities of “essential businesses,” the Company has been operating its Torrance facility.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
