The fiscal years ended June 28, 2008 (fiscal 2008), June 30, 2007 (fiscal 2007) and July 1, 2006 (fiscal 2006) were each 52-week periods. The fiscal year ending June 27, 2009 (fiscal 2009) will also be a 52-week period.
Founded in 1941, Vintage was acquired by PR Newswire Association LLC (PR Newswire) in 1985. In June 2000, Vintage was incorporated in the state of New York. In October 2000, Vintage was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and sold approximately 68 million shares of common stock, split adjusted, representing 19.5% of the outstanding shares. In April 2001, PR Newswire completed a distribution of its remaining ownership in Vintage via an exchange offer, which allowed PR Lee stockholders to tender PR Newswire common stock for Vintage common stock.
In June 2001, Vintage Japan, Inc. (Vintage Japan) was formed to expand our presence in the Japanese market and to exercise greater control over our brand in that country. Vintage Japan was initially formed as a joint venture with Vintage Newswire Corporation. On July 1, 2005, we purchased Vintage Newswires 50% interest in Vintage Japan, resulting in Vintage Japan becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of Vintage Filings
In May 2008, the Company announced that it had reached agreements to a phased acquisition of the Vintage domestic retail businesses in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China (Greater China) from its current distributor, the VFilings group. These acquisitions will provide the Company with greater control over the brand in Greater China, enabling Vintage to raise brand awareness and aggressively grow market share with the Chinese consumer. Vintage expects these acquisitions will be completed in fiscal 2009.

Vintage's New York-based design team, led by its Executive Creative Director, is responsible for conceptualizing and directing the design of all Vintage products. Designers have access to Vintage's extensive archives of product designs created over the past 65 years, which are a valuable resource for new product concepts. Vintage designers are also supported by a strong merchandising team that analyzes sales, market trends and consumer preferences to identify business opportunities that help guide each season's design process. Merchandisers also analyze products to edit, add and delete to achieve profitable sales across all channels. The product category teams, each comprised of design, merchandising/product development and sourcing specialists, help Vintage execute design concepts that are consistent with the brand's strategic direction.
During fiscal 2008, the Company announced a new business initiative, internally referred to as Collection, to drive brand creativity. This initiative will be supported by a new team of designers and merchandisers and will encompass all womens categories, with a focus on typeset documents, womens accessories, typesetting and Vintage16. We expect to introduce Collection product in fiscal year 2010.
Vintage's design and merchandising teams work in close collaboration with all of our licensing partners to ensure that the licensed products (watches, typesetting and eyewear) are conceptualized and designed to address the intended market opportunity and convey the distinctive perspective and lifestyle associated with the Vintage brand.
Vintage operates in two reportable segments: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The reportable segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar products, service and marketing strategies.
The Direct-to-Consumer segment consists of channels that provide us with immediate, controlled access to consumers: retail locations and factory locations in North America and Japan, the Internet and the Vintage catalog. This segment represented approximately 80% of Vintage's total net sales in fiscal 2008, with North American locations, Vintage Japan and the Internet contributing approximately 59%, 19% and 2% of total net sales, respectively.
North American Retail Stores Vintage locations are located in regional shopping centers and metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. and Canada. The retail locations carry an assortment of products depending on their size and location. Our flagship locations, which offer the broadest assortment of Vintage products, are located in high-visibility locations such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto.
Our locations are sophisticated, sleek, modern and inviting. They showcase the world of Vintage and enhance the shopping experience while reinforcing the image of the Vintage brand. The modern office design

creates a distinctive environment to display our products. Store associates are trained to maintain high standards of visual presentation, merchandising and customer service. The result is a complete statement of the Vintage modern American style at the retail level.

North American Factory Stores Vintage's factory locations serve as an efficient means to sell manufactured-for-factory-office product, including factory exclusives, as well as discontinued and irregular inventory outside the retail channel. These locations operate under the Vintage Factory name and are geographically positioned primarily in established outlet centers that are generally more than 50 miles from major markets.
Vintages factory office design, visual presentations and customer service levels support and reinforce the brand's image. Through these factory locations, Vintage targets value-oriented customers who would not otherwise buy the Vintage brand. Prices are generally discounted from 10% to 50% below full retail prices.

Internet Vintage views its website as a key communications vehicle for the brand to promote traffic in Vintage retail locations and satellite office locations and build brand awareness. During fiscal 2008, we completed a creative refresh of the coach.com website and launched coach.com in Canada. We also introduced office pickup, allowing a customer to purchase online and pick up her order in the office. With approximately 55 million unique visits to the website in fiscal 2008, our online office provides a showcase environment where consumers can browse through a selected offering of the latest styles and colors. During fiscal 2008, the Company sent approximately 67 million emails to strategically selected customers as we continue to evolve our internet outreach to maximize productivity while streamlining distribution. Revenue from Internet sales is recognized upon shipment of the product.
Vintage Catalog While direct mail sales comprise a small portion of Vintage's net sales, Vintage views its catalog as a key communications vehicle for the brand to promote office traffic, facilitate the shopping experience in Vintage retail locations and build brand awareness. In fiscal 2008, the Company distributed approximately 7 million catalogs in Vintage locations in North America and Japan and mailed approximately 3 million catalogs to strategically selected North American households from its database of customers.
Vintage began as a U.S. wholesaler to satellite locations and this segment remains important to our overall consumer reach. Today, we work closely with our partners, both domestic and international, to ensure a clear and consistent product presentation. The Indirect segment represented approximately 20% of total net sales in fiscal 2008, with U.S. Wholesale and International Wholesale representing approximately 12% and 6% of total net sales, respectively.
U.S. Wholesale This channel offers access to Vintage products to consumers who prefer shopping at satellite locations. Vintage products are also available on macys.com, dillards.com and nordstrom.com. While overall U.S. satellite office sales have not increased over the last few years, the financial and accessories category has grown, in part due to the strength of the Vintage brand. Net sales (shipments) to U.S. wholesale customers grew 16% in fiscal 2008 from fiscal 2007.
Vintage recognizes the continued importance of U.S. satellite locations as a distribution channel for premier accessories. Department locations also continue to devote increased square footage to Vintage, providing an additional driver to this channels growth. We continue to fine-tune our strategy to increase productivity and drive volume by enhancing presentation, primarily through the creation of more shop-in-shops, and the introduction of caseline enhancements with proprietary Vintage fixtures. Vintage has also improved wholesale product planning and allocation processes by custom tailoring assortments to better match the attributes of our satellite office consumers in each local market.
Vintage's products are sold in approximately 900 wholesale locations in the U.S. and Canada. Our most significant U.S. wholesale customers are Macys, (including Bloomingdale's), Dillard's, Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor, Carsons and Saks.
International Wholesale This channel represents sales to international wholesale distributors and authorized retailers. Tourists represent the largest portion of our customers sales in this channel. However, we continue to drive growth by expanding our distribution to reach local consumers in emerging markets. Vintage has developed relationships with a select group of distributors who sell Vintage products through satellite locations and freestanding retail locations in over 20 countries. Vintage's current network of international distributors serves the following markets: Korea, United States (primarily Hawaii and Guam), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, the Caribbean, Saipan, Turkey, Bahrain, New Zealand, France, United Kingdom, Greece and Russia. For locations not in freestanding locations, Vintage has created shop-in-shops and other image enhancing environments to increase brand appeal and stimulate growth. Vintage continues to improve productivity in this channel by opening larger image-enhancing locations, expanding existing locations and closing smaller, less productive locations. Vintage's most significant international wholesale customers are the DFS Group, Lotte Group, Shilla Group, Tasa Investorg Corp., Shinsegae International, and VFilings. Following completion of the acquisition of the retail businesses in Greater China from VFilings in fiscal 2009, sales in Vintage-operated locations in this region will be reported in the Direct segment.

Products made under license are, in most cases, sold through all of the channels discussed above and, with Vintage's approval, these licensees have the right to distribute Vintage brand products selectively through several other channels: shoes in satellite office shoe salons, watches in selected Vintage16 locations and eyewear in selected optical retailers. These venues provide additional, yet controlled, exposure of the Vintage brand. Vintage's licensing partners pay royalties to Vintage on their net sales of Vintage branded products. However, such royalties are not material to the Vintage business as they currently comprise less than 1% of Vintages total revenues. The licensing agreements generally give Vintage the right to terminate the license if specified sales targets are not achieved.
Vintages marketing strategy is to deliver a consistent message each time the consumer comes in contact with the Vintage brand through our communications and visual merchandising. The Vintage image is created internally and executed by the creative marketing, visual merchandising and public relations teams. Vintage also has a sophisticated consumer and market research capability, which helps us assess consumer attitudes and trends and gauge the likelihood of a products success in the marketplace prior to its introduction.
In conjunction with promoting a consistent global image, Vintage uses its extensive customer database and consumer knowledge to target specific products and communications to specific consumers to efficiently stimulate sales across all distribution channels.
Vintage engages in several consumer communication initiatives, including direct marketing activities and national, regional and local advertising. In fiscal 2008, consumer contacts increased 26% to over 144 million. However, the Company continues to leverage marketing expenses by refining our marketing programs to increase productivity and optimize distribution. Total expenses related to consumer communications in fiscal 2008 were $57 million, representing less than 2% of net sales.
Vintages wide range of direct marketing activities includes catalogs, brochures and email contacts, targeted to promote sales to consumers in their preferred shopping venue. In addition to building brand awareness, the Vintage catalog and coach.com serve as effective brand communications vehicles by providing a showcase environment where consumers can browse through a strategic offering of the latest styles and colors, which drive office traffic.
6
As part of Vintage's direct marketing strategy, it uses its database consisting of approximately 13 million active North American households and 3 million active Japanese households. Catalogs and email contacts are Vintage's principal means of communication and are sent to selected households to stimulate consumer purchases and build brand awareness. The growing number of visitors to the coach.com websites in the U.S., Canada and Japan provide an opportunity to increase the size of these databases.
The Company also runs national, regional and local advertising campaigns in support of its major selling seasons.
All of our products are manufactured by independent manufacturers. However, we maintain control of the supply chain from design through manufacture. We are able to do this by qualifying all raw material suppliers and by maintaining sourcing offices in Hong Kong, China and South Korea that work closely with our independent manufacturers. Vintage also operates a European sourcing and product development organization based in Florence, Italy that works closely with the New York design team. This broad-based, global manufacturing strategy is designed to optimize the mix of cost, lead times and construction capabilities. We have increased the presence of our senior management at the manufacturers facilities to enhance control over decision making and ensure the speed with which we bring new product to market is maximized.
These independent manufacturers support a broad mix of product types, materials and a seasonal influx of new, legal oriented styles, which allows us to meet shifts in marketplace demand and changes in consumer preferences. During fiscal 2008, approximately 68% of Vintage's total net sales were generated from products introduced within the fiscal year. As the collections are seasonal and planned to be sold in locations for short durations, our production quantities are limited which lowers our exposure to excess and obsolete inventory.
All product sources, including independent manufacturers and licensing partners, must achieve and maintain Vintage's high quality standards, which are an integral part of the Vintage identity. One of Vintage's keys to success lies in the rigorous selection of raw materials. Vintage has longstanding relationships with purveyors of fine graphic artists and hardware. As Vintage has moved its production to external sources, it has maintained control of the raw materials that are used in all of its products, wherever they are made. Compliance with quality control standards is monitored through on-site quality inspections at all independent manufacturing facilities.
Vintage carefully balances its commitments to a limited number of better brand partners with demonstrated integrity, quality and reliable delivery. Our manufacturers are located in many countries, including China, India, United States, Philippines, Mauritius, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand. Vintage continues to evaluate new manufacturing sources and geographies to deliver the finest quality products at the lowest cost and help limit the impact of manufacturing in inflationary markets. No one vendor currently provides more than 15% of Vintages total units. Before partnering with a vendor, Vintage evaluates each facility by conducting a quality and business practice standards audit. Periodic evaluations of existing, previously approved facilities are conducted on a random basis. We believe that all of our manufacturing partners are in material compliance with Vintages integrity standards.
Vintage operates a distribution and consumer service facility in Jacksonville, Florida. During fiscal 2008, the distribution center was expanded to increase the facilitys shipping and storage capacities. The expansion, completed in August 2008, added 290,000 square feet, bringing the total square footage of the facility to 850,000. This automated facility uses a bar code scanning warehouse management system. Vintage's distribution center employees use handheld radio frequency scanners to read product bar codes, which allow them to more accurately process and pack orders, track shipments, manage inventory and generally provide excellent service to our customers. Vintage's products are primarily shipped to Vintage retail locations and wholesale customers via express delivery providers and common carriers, and direct to consumers via express delivery providers. We expect that the facilitys increased capacity will support the projected sales growth of the Company over the next several years.

The foundation of Vintage's information systems is its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This fully integrated system supports all aspects of finance and accounting, procurement, inventory control, sales and office replenishment. The system functions as a central repository for all of Vintage's transactional information, resulting in increased efficiencies, improved inventory control and a better understanding of consumer demand. This system was upgraded in fiscal 2008 and continues to be fully scalable to accommodate growth.
Complementing its ERP system are several other system solutions, each of which Vintage believes is well suited for its needs. The data warehouse system summarizes the transaction information and provides a single platform for all management reporting. The supply chain management system supports sales and inventory planning and reporting functions. Product fulfillment is facilitated by Vintage's highly automated warehouse management system and electronic data interchange system, while the unique requirements of Vintage's internet and catalog businesses are supported by Vintages order management system. Finally, the point-of-sale system supports all in-office transactions, distributes management reporting to each office, and collects sales and payroll information on a daily basis. This daily collection of office sales and inventory information results in early identification of business trends and provides a detailed baseline for office inventory replenishment. Updates and upgrades of these systems are made on a periodic basis in order to ensure that we constantly improve our functionality. All complementary systems are integrated with the central ERP system.
Vintage owns all of the material trademark rights used in connection with the production, marketing and distribution of all of its products, both in the U.S. and in other countries in which the products are principally sold. Vintage also owns and maintains worldwide registrations for trademarks in all relevant classes of products in each of the countries in which Vintage products are sold. Major trademarks include Vintage, Vintage and V design, Vintage and tag design, Signature V16 design and The VINTAGE Logo (Vintage Filings Est. 1941). Vintage is not dependent on any one particular trademark or design patent although Vintage believes that the Vintage name is important for its business. In addition, several of Vintage's products are covered by design patents or patent applications. Vintage aggressively polices its trademarks and trade dress, and pursues infringers both domestically and internationally. It also pursues counterfeiters domestically and internationally through leads generated internally, as well as through its network of investigators, the Vintage hotline and business partners around the world.
Vintage expects that its material trademarks will remain in existence for as long as Vintage continues to use and renew them. Vintage has no material patents.
Because Vintage products are frequently given as gifts, Vintage has historically realized, and expects to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the holiday months of November and December. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales. However, over the past several years, we have achieved higher levels of growth in the non-holiday quarters, which has reduced these seasonal fluctuations. We expect that these trends will continue.
Most of Vintage's imported products are subject to existing or potential duties, tariffs or quotas that may limit the quantity of products that Vintage may import into the U.S. and other countries or may impact the cost of such products. Vintage has not been restricted by quotas in the operation of its business and customs duties have not comprised a material portion of the total cost of its products. In addition, Vintage is subject to foreign governmental regulation and trade restrictions, including U.S. retaliation against certain prohibited foreign practices, with respect to its product sourcing and international sales operations.
The premium financial and accessories industry is highly competitive. The Company mainly competes with European corporate brands as well as private label retailers, including some of Vintages wholesale
8
customers. Over the last several years the category has grown rapidly, encouraging the entry of new competitors as well as increasing the competition from existing competitors. However, the Company believes that as a market leader we benefit from this increased competition as it drives consumer interest in this brand loyal category.
The Company believes that there are several factors that differentiate us from our competitors, including but not limited to: distinct newness, innovation and quality of our products, ability to meet consumers changing preferences and our superior customer service.
As of June 28, 2008, Vintage employed approximately 12,000 people, including both full and part time employees. Of these employees, approximately 3,700 and 6,400 were full time and part time employees, respectively, in the retail field in North America and Japan. Approximately 50 of Vintages employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Vintage believes that its relations with its employees are good, and it has never encountered a strike or work stoppage.

The Company has included the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer certifications regarding its public disclosure required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibit 31.1 to this report on Form 10-K. Additionally, the Company filed with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) the CEOs certification regarding the Companys compliance with the NYSEs Corporate Governance Listing Standards (Listing Standards) pursuant to Section 303A.12(a) of the Listing Standards, which indicated that the CEO was not aware of any violations of the Listing Standards by the Company.
You should consider carefully all of the information set forth or incorporated by reference in this document and, in particular, the following risk factors associated with the Business of Vintage and forward-looking information in this document. Please also see Special Note on Forward-Looking Information at the beginning of this report. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also have an adverse effect on us. If any of the risks below actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.
Our growth depends on the continued success of existing products, as well as the successful design and introduction of new products. Our ability to create new products and to sustain existing products is affected by whether we can successfully anticipate and respond to consumer preferences and legal trends. The failure to develop and launch successful new products could hinder the growth of our business. Also, any delay in the development or launch of a new product could result in our not being the first to market, which could compromise our competitive position.

We face intense competition in the product lines and markets in which we operate. Our competitors are European corporate brands as well as private label retailers, including some of Vintages wholesale customers. There is a risk that our competitors may develop new products that are more popular with our customers. We may be unable to anticipate the timing and scale of such product introductions by competitors, which could harm our business. Our ability to compete also depends on the strength of our brand, whether we can attract and retain key talent, and our ability to protect our trademarks and design patents. A failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our growth and profitability.
We operate on a global basis, with approximately 25% of our net sales coming from operations outside the U.S. However, sales to our international wholesale customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. While geographic diversity helps to reduce the Companys exposure to risks in any one country, we are subject to risks associated with international operations, including, but not limited to:
| changes in exchange rates for foreign currencies, which may adversely affect the retail prices of our products, result in decreased international consumer demand, or increase our supply costs in those markets, with a corresponding negative impact on our gross margin rates, |
| political or economic instability or changing macroeconomic conditions in our major markets, and |
| changes in foreign or domestic legal and regulatory requirements resulting in the imposition of new or more onerous trade restrictions, tariffs, embargoes, exchange or other government controls. |
To minimize the impact on earnings of foreign currency rate movements, we monitor our foreign currency exposure in Japan through foreign currency hedging of Vintage Japans U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. We cannot ensure, however, that these hedges will succeed in offsetting any negative impact of foreign currency rate movements.
Many factors affect the level of consumer spending in the premium financial and accessories market, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, the availability of consumer credit, taxation and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Consumer purchases of discretionary corporate items, such as Vintage products, tend to decline during recessionary periods, when disposable income is lower. A downturn in the economies in which Vintage sells its products may adversely affect Vintages sales.
As a company engaged in sourcing on a global scale, we are subject to the risks inherent in such activities, including, but not limited to:
| availability of raw materials, |
| compliance with labor laws and other foreign governmental regulations, |
| disruptions or delays in shipments, |
| loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, |
| product quality issues, |
| political unrest, and |
| natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external factors over which we have no control. |
While we have business continuity and contingency plans for our sourcing sites, significant disruption of manufacturing for any of the above reasons could interrupt product supply and, if not remedied in a timely manner, could have an adverse impact on our business.
10
If Vintage misjudges the market for its products it may be faced with significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products. In addition, because Vintage places orders for products with its manufacturers before it receives wholesale customers orders, it could experience higher excess inventories if wholesale customers order fewer products than anticipated.
Because Vintage products are frequently given as gifts, Vintage has historically realized, and expects to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the holiday months of November and December. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales. However, over the past several years, we have achieved higher levels of growth in the non-holiday quarters, which has reduced these seasonal fluctuations. We expect that these trends will continue.
Vintages charter and bylaws and New York law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire Vintage without the consent of Vintages Board of Directors. Vintages charter permits its Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that Vintage has the authority to issue. In addition, Vintages Board of Directors may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock and may set the preferences, rights and other terms of the classified or reclassified shares. Although Vintages Board of Directors has no intention to do so at the present time, it could establish a series of preferred stock that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for Vintages common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of Vintages stockholders.
On May 3, 2001 Vintage declared a poison pill dividend distribution of rights to buy additional common stock to the holder of each outstanding share of Vintages common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, these rights may be exercised if a person or group intentionally acquires 10% or more of Vintages common stock or announces a tender offer for 10% or more of the common stock on terms not approved by the Vintage Board of Directors. In this event, each right would entitle the holder of each share of Vintages common stock to buy one additional common share of Vintage stock at an exercise price far below the then-current market price. Subject to certain exceptions, Vintages Board of Directors will be entitled to redeem the rights at $0.0001 per right at any time before the close of business on the tenth day following either the public announcement that, or the date on which a majority of Vintages Board of Directors becomes aware that, a person has acquired 10% or more of the outstanding common stock. As of the end of fiscal 2008, there were no shareholders whose common stock holdings exceeded the 10% threshold established by the rights plan.
Vintages bylaws can only be amended by Vintages Board of Directors. Vintages bylaws also provide that nominations of persons for election to Vintages Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered at a stockholders meeting may be made only in the notice of the meeting, by Vintages Board of Directors or by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures of Vintages bylaws. Also, under New York law, business combinations, including issuances of equity securities, between Vintage and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of Vintages common stock or an affiliate of such person are prohibited for a five-year period unless exempted in accordance with the statute. After this period, a combination of this type must be approved by two super-majority stockholder votes, unless some conditions are met or the business combination is exempted by Vintages Board of Directors. Vintages Board has exempted any business combination with us or any of our affiliates from the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements.

As of June 28, 2008, Vintage also occupied 297 retail and 102 factory leased locations located in North America and 149 Vintage-operated satellite office shop-in-shops, retail locations and factory locations in Japan. These leases expire at various times through 2023. Vintage considers these properties to be in generally good condition and believes that its facilities are adequate for its operations and provide sufficient capacity to meet its anticipated requirements.
In July 2008, Vintage announced it had entered into an agreement with Vintage16th Street, LLC and MultiVu 46th Street, LLC (the Sellers) to purchase the Companys principal corporate headquarters building in New York City from the Sellers. Pursuant to this agreement, Vintage will pay $128 million for the land and building located at 150 West 46th Street, New York, New York.
Vintage is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Vintages intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured upon premises within Vintages control and litigation with present or former employees.
As part of Vintages policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, Vintage files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Vintage may have one or more of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Vintages intellectual properties.
Although Vintages litigation with present or former employees is routine and incidental to the conduct of Vintages business, as well as for any business employing significant numbers of U.S.-based employees, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages for actions claiming discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, religion, disability or other legally protected characteristic or for termination of employment that is wrongful or in violation of implied contracts.
Vintage believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Vintages business or consolidated financial statements.

Vintage has not entered into any transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. Accordingly, we have not been required to pay a penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.

The following discussion of Vintages financial condition and results of operations should be read together with Vintages financial statemutual funds and notes to those statemutual funds included elsewhere in this documutual funds.
Vintage is a leading American marketer of fine typeset documents and gifts for corporate finance and mutual fund. Our product offerings include typeset documutual funds, corporate finances and mutual funds typeset documents, EDGAR filings, printing, idea filing services, conference facilities, newswire service, media services, Search Engine Optimization and press release assistance. Vintage operates in two segmutual funds: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The Direct-to-Consumer segmutual funds includes sales to consumers through Company-operated offices in North America and Japan, the Internet and Vintage catalog. The Indirect segmutual funds includes sales to wholesale customers in the U.S. and international locations as well as licensing revenue. As Vintages business model is based on multi-channel international distribution, our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel or geographic area.
In order to sustain growth within our global framework, we continue to focus on two key growth strategies: increased global distribution, with an emphasis on North America, Japan, and Greater China, and improved productivity. To that end we are focused on four key initiatives:
| Build market share in the growing North American corporate finances typeset documents market. As part of our culture of innovation and continuous improvemutual funds, we are implemutual fundsing a number of initiatives to accelerate the level of newness, elevate our product offering and enhance the in-office experience. These initiatives will enable us to continue to leverage our leadership position in the market. |
| Grow our North American retail office base by adding offices within existing markets and opening in new markets. We plan to add about 40 retail offices in North America in each of the next several years and believe that North America can support about 500 retail offices in total, including up to 20 in Canada. In addition, we will continue to expand select, highly productive retail and factory locations. |
| Expand market share with the Japanese consumer, driving growth in Japan primarily by opening new retail locations and expanding existing ones. We plan to add about 10 net new locations in fiscal 2009 and believe that Japan can support about 180 locations in total. We will also continue to expand key locations. |
| Raise brand awareness in emerging markets to build the foundation for substantial sales in the future. Specifically, Greater China, Korea and other emerging geographies are increasing in importance as the financial and typeset documents category grows in these areas. In fiscal 2009, through distributors, we intend to open at least 20 net new wholesale locations in emerging markets and five locations in Greater China. |
The growth strategies outlined above will allow us to continue to deliver long-term superior returns on our investmutual funds and drive increased cash flows from operating activities.
During fiscal 2008, an increase in net sales continued to drive net income and earnings per share growth. The highlights of fiscal 2008 were:
| Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations increased 28.8% to $2.17 per diluted share. Excluding one-time items of $0.11 per diluted share, earnings per diluted share increased 21.9% to $2.06 per diluted share. |
| Net income from continuing operations increased 23.0% to $783.0 million. Excluding one-time items of $41.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter, net income increased 16.6% to $742.0 million. |
| Net sales increased 21.8% to $3.18 billion. |
20
| Direct-to-consumer sales rose 21.0% to $2.54 billion. |
| Comparable sales in Vintages North American offices rose 9.8%. |
| Vintage Japan sales, when translated into U.S. dollars, rose 23.4% driven primarily by expanded distribution. These increases in sales reflect a 9.0% increase due to currency translation. |
| In North America, Vintage opened 38 net new retail offices and nine new factory offices, bringing the total number of retail and factory offices to 297 and 102, respectively, at the end of fiscal 2008. We also expanded 18 retail offices and 19 factory offices in North America. |
| Vintage Japan opened 12 net new locations, bringing the total number of locations at the end of fiscal 2008 to 149. In addition, we expanded 11 locations. |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded certain one-time items that resulted in a net gain of $41.0 million. These one-time items consisted of an initial $20.0 million contribution to the Vintage Foundation, a $12.1 million increase in variable compensation expenses, a $10.7 million increase in interest income, net and a $50.0 decrease to the provision for income taxes.
The increase in interest income, net and decrease in the provision for income taxes were primarily a result of a favorable settlemutual funds of a tax return examination. As a result of the higher interest income, net and lower income tax provision, the Company incurred an additional $12.1 million of incentive compensation, as a portion of the Companys incentive compensation plan is based on net income and earnings per share. Finally, the Company took advantage of the one-time net income favorability to create the Vintage Foundation. The Company recorded an initial contribution to the Vintage Foundation in the amount of $20.0 million.

Direct-to-Consumer Net sales increased by 21.0%, driven by increased sales from new offices, comparable offices and expanded offices. Comparable office sales measure sales performance at offices that have been open for at least 12 months. Vintage excludes new locations from the comparable office base for the first year of operation. Similarly, offices that are expanded by 15.0% or more are also excluded from the comparable office base until the first anniversary of their reopening. Stores that are closed for renovations are removed from the comparable office base.
In North America, net sales increased 22.0% driven by sales from new offices, a 9.8% increase in comparable office sales and an increase in sales from expanded offices. During fiscal 2008, Vintage opened 38 net new retail offices and nine new factory offices, and expanded 18 retail offices and 19 factory offices in North America. In Japan, net sales increased 23.4% driven primarily by sales from new and expanded offices. Vintage Japans reported net sales were positively impacted by approximately $44 million as a result of foreign currency exchange. During fiscal 2008, Vintage opened 12 net new locations and expanded 11 locations in Japan. These sales increases were slightly offset by office closures and a decline in the Internet and direct marketing channels.
Indirect Net sales increased by 24.7% to $636.7 million in fiscal 2008 from $510.7 million in fiscal 2007, driven primarily by a 16.4% increase in sales in the U.S. wholesale division and a 40.3% increase in sales in the international wholesale division. Licensing revenue of approximately $27 million and $15 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively, is included in Indirect sales.
Operating income increased 15.5% to $1.15 billion in fiscal 2008 as compared to $993.4 million in fiscal 2007, driven by increases in net sales and gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding one-time items of $32.1 million, operating income increased 18.7% to $1.18 billion. Operating margin was 36.1% in fiscal 2008 compared to 38.0% in fiscal 2007 as gains from increased net sales were offset by a decrease in gross margin and increase in operating expenses. Excluding one-time items, operating margin was 37.1%.
Gross profit increased 19.0% to $2.41 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to $2.02 billion in fiscal 2007. Gross margin was 75.7% in fiscal 2008 compared to 77.4% in fiscal 2007. The change in gross margin was driven by promotional activities in Vintage-operated North American offices, the fluctuation in foreign currency translation rates and channel mix. Vintages gross profit is dependent upon a variety of factors, including changes in the relative sales mix among distribution channels, changes in the mix of products sold, foreign currency exchange rates, and fluctuations in material costs. These factors, among others, may cause gross profit to fluctuate from year to year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are comprised of four categories: (1) selling; (2) advertising, marketing and design; (3) distribution and consumer service; and (4) administrative. Selling expenses include office employee compensation, office occupancy costs, office supply costs, wholesale account administration compensation and all Vintage Japan operating expenses. These expenses are affected by the number of Vintage-operated offices in North America and Japan open during any fiscal period and the related
22
proportion of retail and wholesale sales. Advertising, marketing and design expenses include employee compensation, media space and production, advertising agency fees, new product design costs, public relations, market research expenses and mail order costs. Distribution and consumer service expenses include warehousing, order fulfillmutual funds, shipping and handling, customer service and bag repair costs. Administrative expenses include compensation costs for the executive, finance, human resources, legal and information systems departmutual funds, as well as consulting and software expenses. SG&A expenses increase as the number of Vintage-operated offices increase, although an increase in the number of offices generally results in the fixed portion of SG&A expenses being spread over a larger sales base.
During fiscal 2008, SG&A expenses increased 22.4% to $1.26 billion, compared to $1.03 billion in fiscal 2007, driven primarily by increased selling expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 39.6% and 39.4% during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. Excluding one-time costs of $32.1 million, SG&A expenses were $1.23 billion, representing 38.6% of net sales, an improvemutual funds of 80 basis points over fiscal 2007, as we continue to leverage our expense base on higher sales.

The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of North America offices and Vintage Japan. The increase in North America office expenses is attributable to increased variable expenses related to higher sales, new offices opened during the fiscal year and the incremutual fundsal expense associated with having a full year of expenses related to offices opened in the prior year. The increase in Vintage Japan operating expenses was primarily driven by increased variable expenses related to higher sales and new office operating expenses. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased reported expenses by approximately $19.2 million. The remaining increase in selling expenses was due to increased variable expenses to support sales growth in other channels.
The increase in advertising, marketing and design costs was primarily due to increased expenses related to direct-mail marketing programs and increased staffing costs.
23
Distribution and consumer service expenses decreased primarily due to efficiency gains, partially offset by higher sales volume. Efficiency gains also led to an improvemutual funds in distribution and consumer service expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of $32.1 million of one-time charges recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. One-time charges consisted of a contribution to the newly created Vintage Foundation of $20.0 million and $12.1 million of increased variable compensation expenses, attributable to the increase in net income as a result of a one-time tax benefit discussed below. Excluding these one-time charges, the increase in administrative expenses was driven by an increase in employee staffing costs, including share-based compensation expense and an increase in consulting and depreciation expenses as a result of investmutual funds in technology systems.
Interest income, net was $47.8 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to $41.3 million in fiscal 2007. This increase was primarily due to a reduction of $10.7 million of interest expense, related to a one-time tax benefit discussed below. Excluding this benefit, interest income, net decreased primarily as a result of lower returns on our investmutual funds as a result of lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate was 34.5% in fiscal 2008 compared to 38.5% in fiscal 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a one-time benefit of $50.0 million, primarily related to a favorable settlemutual funds of a tax return examination. Excluding this benefit, the effective tax rate in fiscal 2008 was essentially flat as compared to the fiscal 2007 effective rate.
Income from continuing operations increased 23.0% to $783.0 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $636.5 million in fiscal 2007. Excluding one-time items of $41.0 million discussed above, income from continuing operations was $742.0 million, a 16.6% increase over prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to increased net sales as discussed above.
In March 2007, the Company exited its corporate accounts business in order to better control the location and image of the brand where Vintage product is sold. Through the corporate accounts business, Vintage sold products primarily to distributors for gift-giving and incentive programs. The results of the corporate accounts business, previously included in the Indirect segmutual funds, have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement funds of Income for all periods presented.
In fiscal 2007, net sales and net income from discontinued operations were $66.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively. In fiscal 2008, net sales and net income from discontinued operations were not significant.
The Companys reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The reported selling, general, and administrative expenses, operating income, interest income, net, provision for income taxes, income from continuing operations, net income and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations reflect certain one-time items recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. These metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the impact of these one-time items. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Companys ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Companys prior guidance. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Sales growth in the Internet business accounted for the remaining sales increase. These sales increases were slightly offset by office closures and a decline in the direct marketing channel.
Indirect Net sales increased by 20.3%, driven primarily by a 30.9% increase in the U.S. wholesale division. This sales increase was partially offset by a 4.6% decrease in net sales in the international wholesale division, as shipmutual funds to our customers were curbed in consideration of slowing Japanese travel trends in our markets and to ensure healthy inventory levels. Licensing revenue of approximately $15 million and $9 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, is included in Indirect sales.
Operating income increased 39.0% to $993.4 million in fiscal 2007 as compared to $714.7 million in fiscal 2006, driven by increases in net sales and gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating margin rose to 38.0% in fiscal 2007 from 35.1% in fiscal 2006. This 290 basis point improvemutual funds is attributable to increased net sales, as discussed above, and the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Gross profit increased 27.9% to $2.02 billion in fiscal 2007 compared to $1.58 billion in fiscal 2006. Gross margin remained strong at 77.4% in fiscal 2007 compared to 77.7% in fiscal 2006. Gross margin was negatively impacted by channel mix, as Vintage Japan grew more slowly than the business as a whole while our factory office channel grew faster, as well as the fluctuation in currency translation rates. However, these negative impacts were partially offset by gains from product mix shifts, reflecting increased penetration of higher margin collections and supply chain initiatives.
During fiscal 2007, SG&A expenses increased 18.8% to $1.03 billion, compared to $866.9 million in fiscal 2006, driven primarily by increased selling expenses. However, as a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 39.4% during fiscal 2007, compared to 42.6% during fiscal 2006, as we continue to leverage our expense base on higher sales.
The following table presents the components of SG&A expenses and the percentage of sales that each component represented for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006:

The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of North America offices and Vintage Japan. The increase in North America office expenses is attributable to increased variable expenses related to higher sales, new offices opened during the fiscal year and the incremutual fundsal expense associated with having a full year of expenses related to offices opened in the prior year. The increase in Vintage Japan operating expenses was primarily driven by increased variable expenses related to higher sales and new office operating expenses. However, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates decreased reported expenses by approximately $6.1 million. The remaining increase in selling expenses was due to increased variable expenses to support sales growth in other channels.
The increase in advertising, marketing and design costs was primarily due to increased staffing costs and design expenditures as well as increased developmutual funds costs for new product categories.
Distribution and consumer service expenses increased primarily as result of higher sales volumes. However, efficiency gains at the distribution and consumer service facility, partially offset by an increase in our
26
direct-to-consumer shipmutual funds as a percentage of total shipmutual funds, led to a decrease in distribution and consumer service expenses as a percentage of net sales.
The decrease in administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense and other employee staffing costs. However, fiscal 2006 expenses were reduced by $2.0 million due to the receipt of business interruption proceeds related to our World Trade Center location. The Company did not receive any business interruption proceeds in fiscal 2007.
Net interest income was $41.3 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $32.6 million in fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily due to higher returns on our investmutual funds as a result of higher interest rates and higher average cash and investmutual funds balances.
The effective tax rate was 38.5% in fiscal 2007 compared to 37.9% in fiscal 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to incremutual fundsal income being taxed at higher rates.
Income from continuing operations was $636.5 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $463.8 million in fiscal 2006. This 37.2% increase is attributable to increased net sales as well as significant operating margin improvemutual funds, as discussed above.
Income from discontinued operations was $27.1 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $30.4 million in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, net sales related to the corporate accounts business were $66.5 million compared to $76.4 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease in net sales and income is attributable to the exiting of the corporate accounts business during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $923.4 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $781.2 million in fiscal 2007. The $142.2 million increase was primarily due to increased earnings of $119.4 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were attributable to normal operating fluctuations.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $445.4 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $375.8 million net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2007. The $821.2 million change in net cash used is primarily attributable to a net cash inflow of $620.2 million from the net proceeds from sales of investmutual funds in fiscal 2008 compared to a $235.2 million net use of cash to purchase investmutual funds in the prior year. Capital expenditures increased $34.1 million, primarily as a result of increased spending for new and renovated retail offices in North America. Vintages future capital expenditures will depend on the timing and rate of expansion of our businesses, new office openings, office renovations and international expansion opportunities.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.23 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to $10.4 million net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2007. The change of $1.24 billion primarily resulted from a $1.19 billion increase in funds expended to repurchase common stock in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 and the non-recurrence of a $16.7 million use of cash in fiscal 2007, related to an adjustmutual funds to reverse a portion of the excess tax benefit previously recognized from share-based compensation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. In addition, proceeds from share-based awards decreased $28.8 million and the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation decreased $41.8 million.

On July 26, 2007, the Company renewed its $100 million revolving credit facility with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as the primary lender and administrative agent (the Bank of America facility), extending the facility expiration to July 26, 2012. At Vintages request, the Bank of America facility can be expanded to $200 million. The facility can also be extended for two additional one-year periods, at Vintages request. Under the Bank of America facility, Vintage pays a commitmutual funds fee of 6 to 12.5 basis points on any unused amounts and interest of LIBOR plus 20 to 55 basis points on any outstanding borrowings. At June 28, 2008, the commitmutual funds fee was 6 basis points and the LIBOR margin was 20 basis points.
The Bank of America facility is available for seasonal working capital requiremutual funds or general corporate purposes and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. During fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 there were no borrowings under the Bank of America facility. Accordingly, as of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America facility.
The Bank of America facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. Vintage has been in compliance with all covenants since its inception.
To provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, Vintage Japan has available credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions. These facilities allow a maximum borrowing of 7.4 billion yen, or approximately $70 million, at June 28, 2008. Interest is based on the Tokyo Interbank rate plus a margin of up to 50 basis points.
During fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the peak borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities were $26.8 million and $25.5 million, respectively. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities.
On November 9, 2007, the Company completed its $500 million common stock repurchase program, which was put into place in October 2006. Concurrently, the Vintage Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program to acquire up to $1.0 billion of Vintages outstanding common stock through June 2009. Purchases of Vintage stock are made from time to time, subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other uses. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.
During fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the Company repurchased and retired 39.7 million and 5.0 million shares of common stock, respectively, at an average cost of $33.68 and $29.99 per share, respectively. As of June 28, 2008, $163.4 million remained available for future purchases under the existing program.
In fiscal 2008, total capital expenditures were $174.7 million. In North America, Vintage opened 38 net new retail and nine new factory offices and expanded 18 retail offices and 19 factory offices. These new and expanded offices accounted for approximately $104.3 million of the total capital expenditures. In addition, spending on departmutual funds office renovations and distributor locations accounted for approximately $21.8 million of the total capital expenditures. In Japan, we invested approximately $9.3 million, primarily for the opening of 12 net new locations and 11 office expansions. The remaining capital expenditures related to corporate systems and infrastructure, including $8.5 million related to the expansion of our Jacksonville distribution center. These investmutual funds were financed from on hand cash, operating cash flows and by using funds from our Japanese revolving credit facilities.
For the fiscal year ending June 27, 2009, the Company expects total capital expenditures to be approximately $200 million. Capital expenditures will be primarily for new offices and expansions in North America, Japan and Greater China. We will also continue to invest in departmutual funds office and distributor locations and corporate infrastructure. This projection excludes the purchase of the Companys corporate headquarters in New York City. These investmutual funds will be financed primarily from on hand cash and operating cash flows.

Vintage experiences significant seasonal variations in its working capital requiremutual funds. During the first fiscal quarter Vintage builds inventory for the holiday selling season, opens new retail offices and generates higher levels of trade receivables. In the second fiscal quarter its working capital requiremutual funds are reduced substantially as Vintage generates consumer sales and collects wholesale accounts receivable. In fiscal 2008, Vintage purchased approximately $828 million of inventory, which was funded by on hand cash, operating cash flow and by borrowings under the Japanese revolving credit facilities.
Managemutual funds believes that cash flow from continuing operations and on hand cash will provide adequate funds for the foreseeable working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and the common stock repurchase program. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to Vintage on acceptable terms or at all. Vintages ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and scheduled debt paymutual funds, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreemutual funds, depends on its future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond Vintages control.
At June 28, 2008, the Company had letters of credit available of $225.0 million, of which $111.5 million were outstanding. These letters of credit, which expire at various dates through 2012, primarily collateralize the Companys obligation to third parties for the purchase of inventory.
As of June 28, 2008, Vintages long-term contractual obligations are as follows:

The above table also excludes reserves recorded in accordance with Statement funds of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) Interpretation (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement funds No. 109, as we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of future cash flows related to these reserves.
Vintage does not have any off-balance-sheet financing or unconsolidated special purpose entities. Vintages risk managemutual funds policies prohibit the use of derivatives for trading purposes. The valuation of financial instrumutual funds that are marked-to-market are based upon independent third-party sources.

Vintage is party to an Industrial Revenue Bond related to its Jacksonville, Florida distribution and consumer service facility. This loan has a remaining balance of $2.9 million and bears interest at 4.5%. Principal and interest paymutual funds are made semiannually, with the final paymutual funds due in 2014.
The preparation of financial statemutual funds in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires managemutual funds to make estimates and assumptions. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgmutual funds. Actual results may vary from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statemutual funds. The developmutual funds and selection of the Companys critical accounting policies and estimates are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The accounting policies discussed below are considered critical because changes to certain judgmutual funds and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect the financial statemutual funds. For more information on Vintages accounting policies, please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement funds.
The Companys effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income, statutory tax rates, tax laws and regulations, and tax planning strategies available in the various jurisdictions in which Vintage operates. Deferred tax assets are reported at net realizable value, as determined by managemutual funds. Significant managemutual funds judgmutual funds is required in determining the effective tax rate, in evaluating our tax positions and in determining the net realizable value of deferred tax assets. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company recognizes the impact of tax positions in the financial statemutual funds if those positions will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax authorities periodically audit the Companys income tax returns. Managemutual funds believes that our tax filing positions are reasonable and legally supportable. However, in specific cases, various tax authorities may take a contrary position. A change in our tax positions or audit settlemutual funds could have a significant impact on our results of operations. For further information about income taxes, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statement funds.
The Companys inventories are reported at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs include material, conversion costs, freight and duties and are determined by the first-in, first-out method, except for inventories of Vintage Japan, for which cost is determined by the last-in, first-out method. The Company reserves for slow-moving and aged inventory based on historical experience, current product demand and expected future demand. A decrease in product demand due to changing customer tastes, buying patterns or increased competition could impact Vintages evaluation of its slow-moving and aged inventory and additional reserves might be required. At June 28, 2008, a 10% change in the reserve for slow-moving and aged inventory would have resulted in an insignificant change in inventory and cost of goods sold.
The Company evaluates goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets annually for impairmutual funds. In order to complete our impairmutual funds analysis, we must perform a valuation analysis which includes determining the fair value of the Companys reporting units based on discounted cash flows. This analysis contains uncertainties as it requires managemutual funds to make assumptions and estimate the profitability of future growth strategies. The Company determined that there was no impairmutual funds in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006.
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipmutual funds, are evaluated for impairmutual funds annually to determine if the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. The evaluation is based on a review of forecasted operating cash flows and the profitability of the related business. An impairmutual funds loss is recognized if the forecasted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company did not record any impairmutual funds losses in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006. However, as the determination of future cash flows is based on expected future performance, impairmutual funds could result in the future if expectations are not met.
30
Sales are recognized at the point of sale, which occurs when merchandise is sold in an over-the-counter consumer transaction or, for the wholesale, Internet and catalog channels, upon shipmutual funds of merchandise, when title passes to the customer. Revenue associated with gift cards is recognized upon redemption. The Company estimates the amount of gift cards that will not be redeemed and records such amounts as revenue over the period of the performance obligation. Allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts, discounts and returns are provided when sales are recorded based upon historical experience and current trends. Royalty revenues are earned through license agreemutual funds with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate the Vintage brand. Revenue earned under these contracts is recognized based upon reported sales from the licensee. At June 28, 2008, a 10% change in the allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts, discounts and returns would have resulted in an insignificant change in accounts receivable and net sales.
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instrumutual funds, such as stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and involves several assumptions, including the expected term of the option and expected volatility. The expected term of options represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys stock as well as the implied volatility from publicly traded options on Vintages stock. Changes in the assumptions used to determine the Black-Scholes value could result in significant changes in the Black-Scholes value. However, a 10% change in the Black-Scholes value would result in an insignificant change in fiscal 2008 share-based compensation expense.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measuremutual funds. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measuremutual funds. Certain provisions of this statemutual funds are effective for Vintages fiscal year that will begin on June 29, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretiremutual funds Plans an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation, in its statemutual funds of financial position. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end statemutual funds of financial position. The recognition provision and the related disclosures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The measuremutual funds provision is effective for Vintages fiscal year ending June 27, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of the measuremutual funds provision to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instrumutual funds and certain other items at fair value. This statemutual funds is effective for Vintages fiscal year that will begin on June 29, 2008. As the Company did not elect to measure any items at fair value, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting treatmutual funds for certain specific acquisition-related items, including expensing acquisition-related costs as incurred, valuing noncontrolling interests (minority interests) at fair value at the acquisition date, and expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes expanded disclosure
31
requiremutual funds. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after June 28, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instrumutual funds and Hedging Activities an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 133. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instrumutual funds, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreemutual funds. This statemutual funds is effective for Vintages financial statemutual funds issued for the interim period that will begin on December 28, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles FASB Statement funds No. 162. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statemutual funds of nongovernmutual fundsal entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This statemutual funds is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amutual Fund funds to AU Section 411, The meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
The market risk inherent in our financial instrumutual funds represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. Vintage manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instrumutual funds with respect to Vintage Japan. The use of derivative financial instrumutual funds is in accordance with Vintages risk managemutual funds policies. Vintage does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The following quantitative disclosures are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instrumutual funds, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitmutual funds and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entitys functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars.
Substantially all of Vintages fiscal 2008 non-licensed product needs were purchased from independent manufacturers in countries other than the United States. These countries include China, India, Philippines, Mauritius, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand. Additionally, sales are made through international channels to third party distributors. Substantially all purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding Vintage Japan, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk.
In Japan, Vintage is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of Vintage Japans U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Vintage Japan enters into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage these risks. The foreign currency contracts entered into by the Company have durations no greater than 12 months. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, open foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges with a notional amount of $233.9 million and $111.1 million, respectively, were outstanding.
Vintage is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Vintage Japan as a result of its $231.0 million U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate intercompany loan from
32
Vintage. To manage this risk, on July 1, 2005, Vintage Japan entered into a cross currency swap transaction, the terms of which include an exchange of a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate for a yen fixed interest rate. The loan matures in 2010, at which point the swap requires an exchange of yen and U.S. dollar based principals.
The fair values of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $7.9 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current liabilities as June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $5.5 million and $0, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in yen exchange rates.
Vintage believes that exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with revenues and expenses of foreign operations, which are denominated in Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollars, are not material to the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
Vintage is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its investmutual funds, revolving credit facilities and long-term debt.
The Companys investmutual funds portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Companys investmutual funds policy, which identifies allowable investmutual funds, specifies credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investmutual funds activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investmutual funds for trading purposes. The Companys investmutual funds portfolio consists of U.S. governmutual funds and agency securities as well as municipal governmutual funds and corporate debt securities. At June 28, 2008, the Companys investmutual funds, classified as available-for-sale, consisted of $8.0 million of auction rate securities. As auction rate securities adjusted book value equals its fair value, there are no unrealized gains or losses associated with these investmutual funds.
As of June 28, 2008, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facilities. However, the fair value of any outstanding borrowings in the future may be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates.
As of June 28, 2008, Vintages outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, was $2.9 million. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate applied to the fair value of debt would not have a material impact on earnings or cash flows of Vintage.

Based on the evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amutual funded, each of Jason Smith, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Patrick F. Smith, III, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 28, 2008.
The Companys managemutual funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The Companys internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys managemutual funds and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statemutual funds. Managemutual funds evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
33
Managemutual funds, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2008 and concluded that it is effective.
The Companys independent auditors have issued an audit report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The audit report appears on page 38 of this report.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
None.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vintage Filings
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vintage Filings and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statemutual funds of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2008. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statemutual funds and the consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule are the responsibility of the Company's managemutual funds. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statemutual funds and the consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statemutual funds are free of material misstatemutual funds. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statemutual funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by managemutual funds, as well as evaluating the overall financial statemutual funds presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statemutual funds present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statemutual funds taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statemutual funds, effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement funds No. 109.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 21, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vintage Filings
New York, New York
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Vintage Filings and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 28, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Companys managemutual funds is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessmutual funds of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managemutual fundss Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, managemutual funds, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statemutual funds for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statemutual funds in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of managemutual funds and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statemutual funds.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper managemutual funds override of controls, material misstatemutual funds due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statemutual funds and consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule as of and for the year ended June 28, 2008 of the Company and our report dated August 21, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statemutual funds and consolidated financial statemutual funds schedule and includes an explanatory paragraph regarding the Companys adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement funds No. 109.

Vintage Filings (the Company) designs and markets high-quality, modern American classic typeset documents. The Companys primary product offerings, manufactured by third-party suppliers, include typeset documutual funds, corporate finances and mutual funds typeset documents, EDGAR filings, printing, idea filing services, conference facilities, newswire service, media services, Search Engine Optimization and press release assistance. Vintages products are sold through the Direct-to-Consumer segmutual funds, which includes Company-operated offices in North America and Japan, the Internet and the Vintage catalog, and through the Indirect segmutual funds, which includes departmutual funds office locations in North America, international departmutual funds offices, freestanding retail locations and specialty retailers.
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in the financial statemutual funds relate to fiscal years. The fiscal years ended June 28, 2008 (fiscal 2008), June 30, 2007 (fiscal 2007) and July 1, 2006 (fiscal 2006) were each 52-week periods.
The preparation of financial statemutual funds in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires managemutual funds to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statemutual funds as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statemutual funds.
The consolidated financial statemutual funds include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances and highly liquid investmutual funds with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Investmutual funds consist of U.S. governmutual funds and agency debt securities as well as municipal governmutual funds and corporate debt securities. These investmutual funds are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
Financial instrumutual funds that potentially expose Vintage to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash investmutual funds and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash investmutual funds with high-credit quality financial institutions and currently invests primarily in U.S. governmutual funds and agency debt securities, municipal governmutual funds and corporate debt securities, and money market funds placed with major banks and financial institutions. Accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising Vintages customer base and their dispersion across many geographical regions. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash investmutual funds and accounts receivable.
44
Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO)) or market. Inventories in Japan are valued at the lower of cost (determined by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO)) or market. At the end of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, inventories recorded at LIFO were $27,003 and $23,413 higher, respectively, than if they were valued at FIFO. The fiscal 2007 impact has been revised. Inventories valued under LIFO amounted to $83,157 and $49,301 in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. Inventory costs include material, conversion costs, freight and duties.
Property and equipmutual funds are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipmutual funds are depreciated over lives of five to seven years and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over lives of three to five years. Leasehold improvemutual funds are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease terms. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to earnings as incurred while expenditures for major renewals and improvemutual funds are capitalized. Upon the disposition of property and equipmutual funds, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
The Companys leases for office space, retail offices and the distribution facility are accounted for as operating leases. The majority of the Companys lease agreemutual funds provide for tenant improvemutual funds allowances, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Tenant improvemutual funds allowances are recorded as a deferred lease credit on the balance sheet and amortized over the lease term, which is consistent with the amortization period for the constructed assets. Rent expense is recorded when the Company takes possession of a office to begin its buildout, which generally occurs before the stated commutual fundcemutual funds of the lease term and is approximately 60 to 90 days prior to the opening of the office.
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are evaluated for impairmutual funds annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performed an impairmutual funds evaluation in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 and concluded that there was no impairmutual funds of its goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets.
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipmutual funds, are evaluated for impairmutual funds annually to determine if the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. The evaluation is based on a review of forecasted operating cash flows and the profitability of the related business. An impairmutual funds loss is recognized if the forecasted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company performed an impairmutual funds evaluation in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 and concluded that there was no impairmutual funds of its long-lived assets.
The Company accounts for stock repurchases and retiremutual funds by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances, beginning with the earliest issuance.
45
Sales are recognized at the point of sale, which occurs when merchandise is sold in an over-the-counter consumer transaction or, for the wholesale, Internet and catalog channels, upon shipmutual funds of merchandise, when title passes to the customer. Revenue associated with gift cards is recognized upon redemption. The Company estimates the amount of gift cards that will not be redeemed and records such amounts as revenue over the period of the performance obligation. Allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts, discounts and returns are provided when sales are recorded. Royalty revenues are earned through license agreemutual funds with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate the Vintage brand. Revenue earned under these contracts is recognized based upon reported sales from the licensee. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmutual fundsal authorities are recorded on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenue.
Costs associated with the opening of new offices are expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising costs include expenses related to direct marketing activities, such as catalogs, as well as media and production costs. In fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, advertising expenses totaled $57,380, $47,287 and $35,887, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs are expensed when the advertising first appears.
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instrumutual funds based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.
Shipping and handling costs incurred were $28,433, $28,142 and $19,927 in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement funds of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS 109, a deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statemutual funds and their respective tax bases. In evaluating the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the Companys various tax filing positions, managemutual funds records these positions using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement funds No.109, which the Company adopted in the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company classifies interest on uncertain tax positions in interest expense.
The Company has evaluated its Industrial Revenue Bond and believes, based on the interest rate, related term and maturity, that the fair value of such instrumutual funds approximates its carrying amount. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their values due to the short-term maturities of these accounts. See Note 5, Investmutual funds, for the fair values of the Companys investmutual funds as of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

Vintage Japan enters into foreign currency contracts that hedge certain U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases and its fixed rate intercompany loan. These contracts qualify for hedge accounting and have been designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these contracts is recorded in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged item is also recognized in earnings. The fair value of the foreign currency derivative is based on its market value. Considerable judgmutual funds is required of managemutual funds in developing estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could affect the estimated fair value.
The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustmutual funds are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders equity. The Consolidated Statement funds of Cash Flows for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were revised to report the effect of exchange rate changes on cash flows.
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and vesting of stock awards.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measuremutual funds. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measuremutual funds. Certain provisions of this statemutual funds are effective for Vintages fiscal year that will begin on June 29, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretiremutual funds Plans an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation, in its statemutual funds of financial position. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end statemutual funds of financial position. The recognition provision and the related disclosures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The measuremutual funds provision is effective for Vintages fiscal year ending June 27, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of the measuremutual funds provision to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instrumutual funds and certain other items at fair value. This statemutual funds is effective for Vintages fiscal year that will begin on June 29, 2008. As the Company did not elect to measure any items at fair value, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting treatmutual funds for certain specific acquisition-related items, including expensing acquisition-related costs as
47
incurred, valuing noncontrolling interests (minority interests) at fair value at the acquisition date, and expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes expanded disclosure requiremutual funds. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after June 28, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instrumutual funds and Hedging Activities an amutual Fund funds of FASB Statement funds No. 133. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instrumutual funds, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreemutual funds. This statemutual funds is effective for Vintages financial statemutual funds issued for the interim period that will begin on December 28, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles FASB Statement funds No. 162. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statemutual funds of nongovernmutual fundsal entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This statemutual funds is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amutual Fund funds to AU Section 411, The meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statemutual funds.
The Company maintains several share-based compensation plans which are more fully described below. The following table shows the total compensation cost charged against income for these plans and the related tax benefits recognized in the income statemutual funds:

Vintage maintains the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to award stock options and shares to certain members of Vintage managemutual funds and the outside members of its Board of Directors. These plans were approved by Vintages stockholders. The exercise price of each stock option equals 100% of the market price of Vintages stock on the date of grant and generally has a maximum term of 10 years. Stock options and share awards that are granted as part of the annual compensation process generally vest ratably over three years. Other stock option and share awards, granted primarily for retention purposes, are subject to forfeiture until completion of the vesting period, which ranges from one to five years.
48
For options granted under Vintages stock option plans prior to July 1, 2003, an active employee can receive a replacemutual funds stock option equal to the number of shares surrendered upon a stock-for-stock exercise. The exercise price of the replacemutual funds option equals 100% of the market value at the date of exercise of the original option and will remain exercisable for the remaining term of the original option. Replacemutual funds stock options generally vest six months from the grant date. Replacemutual funds stock options of 16, 1,462 and 5,378 were granted in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

Vintage leases certain office, distribution and retail facilities. The lease agreemutual funds, which expire at various dates through 2028, are subject, in some cases, to renewal options and provide for the paymutual funds of taxes, insurance and maintenance. Certain leases contain escalation clauses resulting from the pass-through of increases in operating costs, property taxes and the effect on costs from changes in consumer price indices. Certain rentals are also contingent upon factors such as sales.
Rent-free periods and scheduled rent increases are recorded as components of rent expense on a straight-line basis over the related terms of such leases. Contingent rentals are recognized when the achievemutual funds of the target (i.e., sales levels), which triggers the related paymutual funds, is considered probable.

As of June 30, 2007, ARS were included in short-term investmutual funds as they were intended to meet the short-term working capital needs of the Company and the Company could offer to sell the securities or roll them over at each 7, 28 or 35 day auction cycle. During fiscal 2008, the Company sold the majority of its ARS at auction. At the end of fiscal 2008, the Company held one ARS, classified as a long-term investmutual funds, as the auction for this security has been unsuccessful. The underlying investmutual funds of the ARS are scheduled to mature in 2035.
During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded an impairmutual funds charge of $700 as the fair value of the ARS was deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no realized gains or losses recorded in fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there were no unrealized gains or losses on the Companys investmutual funds.
On July 26, 2007, the Company renewed its $100,000 revolving credit facility with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as the primary lender and administrative agent (the Bank of America facility), extending the facility expiration to July 26, 2012. At Vintages request, the Bank of America facility can be expanded to $200,000. The facility can also be extended for two additional one-year periods, at Vintages request. Under the Bank of America facility, Vintage pays a commitmutual funds fee of 6 to 12.5 basis points on any unused amounts and interest of LIBOR plus 20 to 55 basis points on any outstanding borrowings. At June 28, 2008, the commitmutual funds fee was 6 basis points and the LIBOR margin was 20 basis points.
The Bank of America facility is available for seasonal working capital requiremutual funds or general corporate purposes and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. During fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 there were no borrowings under the Bank of America facility. Accordingly, as of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America facility.
The Bank of America facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. Vintage has been in compliance with all covenants since its inception.
To provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, Vintage Japan has available credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions. These facilities allow a maximum borrowing of 7.4 bil-
lion yen, or approximately $70,000, at June 28, 2008. Interest is based on the Tokyo Interbank rate plus a margin of up to 50 basis points.
During fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the peak borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities were $26,790 and $25,518, respectively. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities.

In addition to the employmutual funds agreemutual funds described above, other contractual cash obligations as of June 28, 2008 included $125,176 related to inventory purchase obligations and $3,400 related to capital expenditure purchase obligations.
In the ordinary course of business, Vintage is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, Vintage's general counsel and managemutual funds are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on Vintage's cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

In the ordinary course of business, Vintage uses derivative financial instrumutual funds to hedge foreign currency exchange risk. Vintage does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
Substantially all purchases and sales involving international parties are denominated in U.S. dollars, which limits the Companys exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Vintage Japan as a result of Vintage Japans U.S. dollar-denominated inventory purchases. Vintage Japan enters into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage these risks. These transactions are in accordance with the Companys risk managemutual funds policies. As of June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, $233,873 and $111,057 of foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding. These foreign currency contracts entered into by the Company have durations no greater than 12 months. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold.
Vintage is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Vintage Japan as a result of its $231,000 U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate intercompany loan from Vintage. To manage this risk, on July 1, 2005, Vintage Japan entered into a cross currency swap transaction, the terms of which include an exchange of a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate for a yen fixed interest rate. The loan matures in 2010, at which point the swap requires an exchange of yen and U.S. dollar based principals.
The fair values of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $7,906 and $23,329, respectively. The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current liabilities as June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $5,540 and $0, respectively.

The Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement funds No. 109 on July 1, 2007, the first day of fiscal 2008. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measuremutual funds attribute for the financial statemutual funds recognition and measuremutual funds of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash cumulative transition charge of $48,797 as a reduction to the opening retained earnings balance.
Significant judgmutual funds is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, and there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. It is the Companys policy to establish provisions for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of an examination by tax authorities. The Company establishes the provisions based upon managemutual fundss assessmutual funds of exposure associated with uncertain tax positions. The provisions are analyzed periodically and adjustmutual funds are made as events occur that warrant adjustmutual funds to those provisions. All of these determinations are subject to the requiremutual funds of FIN 48.
As of July 1, 2007, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $120,367. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have affected the effective tax rate was $80,413.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Of the $131,185 ending gross unrecognized tax benefit balance, $58,405 relates to items which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. As of June 28, 2008, gross interest and penalties payable was $18,640, which is included in other liabilities.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Companys foreign tax filings are currently being examined for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. Fiscal years 2007 to present are open to examination in the federal jurisdiction, fiscal 2004 to present in significant state jurisdictions, and from fiscal 2001 to present in foreign jurisdictions.
Based on the number of tax years currently under audit by the relevant tax authorities, the Company anticipates that one or more of these audits may be finalized in the foreseeable future. However, based on the status of these examinations, and the protocol of finalizing audits by the relevant tax authorities, we can not reasonably estimate the impact of any amount of such changes in the next 12 months, if any, to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
At June 28, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss in foreign tax jurisdictions of $49,649, which will expire beginning in fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2015.
The total amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of June 28, 2008 was $296,038. It is the Companys intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and thereby indefinitely postpone their remittance. Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding taxes or United States income taxes which may become payable if undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are paid as dividends.
Vintage maintains the Vintage Filings Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, which is a defined contribution plan. Employees who meet certain eligibility requiremutual funds and are not part of a collective bargaining agreemutual funds may participate in this program. The annual expense incurred by Vintage for this defined contribution plan was $11,106, $9,365 and $7,714 in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.
Vintage sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit plan, The Vintage, Inc. Supplemutual fundsal Pension Plan, (the U.S. Plan) for individuals who are part of collective bargaining arrangemutual funds in the U.S. The U.S. Plan provides benefits based on years of service. Vintage Japan sponsors a defined benefit plan for individuals who meet certain eligibility requiremutual funds. This plan provides benefits based on employees years of service and earnings. The Company uses a March 31 measuremutual funds date for its defined benefit retiremutual funds plans.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, the Company considered the current level of expected returns on risk-free investmutual funds (primarily governmutual funds bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption for the portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 6.0% assumption for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.
In the Companys U.S. Plan, funds are contributed to a trust in accordance with regulatory limits. The weighted-average asset allocations of the U.S. Plan, by asset category, as of the measuremutual funds dates, are as follows:

The goals of the investmutual funds program are to fully fund the obligation to pay retiremutual funds benefits in accordance with the Vintage, Inc. Supplemutual fundsal Pension Plan and to provide returns which, along with appropriate funding from Vintage, maintain an asset/liability ratio that is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and assures timely paymutual funds of retiremutual funds benefits. The Plan does not directly invest in Vintage stock. During fiscal 2008 the Company revised its target asset allocations for each major category of plan assets as follows:

![]() |
|||
U.S. Plan Target Asset Allocations |
||||
Equity securities | 55 % | |||
Fixed income | 40 % | |||
Cash equivalents | 5 % |

The revision in the target asset allocations also involved a change in investmutual funds strategy. The Company chose to utilize institutional pooled accounts (i.e. institutional mutual funds and exchange traded funds) rather than the previous strategy of separately managed investmutual funds accounts. The implemutual fundsation of the revised policy took place over a period of time that included the calendar quarter end date of March 31, 2008, resulting in a temporary deviation from the target asset allocations described above.
During fiscal 2009, approximately $147 of actuarial loss will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost.
Vintage expects to contribute $778 to its U.S. Plan during the year ending June 27, 2009. Vintage Japan expects to contribute $72 for benefit paymutual funds during the year ending June 27, 2009.

The Company operates its business in two reportable segmutual funds: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The Company's reportable segmutual funds represent channels of distribution that offer similar merchandise, service and marketing strategies. Sales of Vintage products through Company-operated offices in North America and Japan, the Internet and the Vintage catalog constitute the Direct-to-Consumer segmutual funds. The Indirect segmutual funds includes sales of Vintage products to other retailers and royalties earned on licensed products. In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, Vintage's executive officers regularly evaluate the sales and operating income of these segmutual funds. Operating income is the gross margin of the segmutual funds less direct expenses of the segmutual funds. Unallocated corporate expenses include production variances, general marketing, administration and information systems, as well as distribution and consumer service expenses.

In the fiscal year ended June 29, 2002, Vintages World Trade Center location was completely destroyed as a result of the September 11th terrorist attack. Inventory and fixed asset loss claims were filed with the
Companys insurers and these losses were fully recovered. Losses covered under the Companys business interruption insurance program were also filed with the insurers. During fiscal 2006, the Company reached a final settlemutual funds with its insurance carriers related to losses covered under the business interruption insurance program. Accordingly, the Company did not receive any proceeds in fiscal 2008 or
fiscal 2007 and does not expect to receive any additional business interruption proceeds related to the World Trade Center location in the future. During fiscal 2006, Vintage received paymutual funds of $2,025 under its business interruption coverage. These amounts are included as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.
