AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A--Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.    Operating results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2015.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).    

Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note C--Net Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2014		2013
Numerator used in basic and diluted net earnings
per common share:
Net income	$	9,238	$	6,655
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net earnings per common
share - weighted-average shares	15,532		14,949
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and restricted stock units	237		424
Denominator for diluted net earnings per common
share - weighted-average shares and assumed
conversions	15,769		15,373
Net earnings per share
Basic	$	0.59	$	0.45
Diluted	$	0.59	$	0.43

The Company repurchased a total of 130,000 shares of its common stock during the first three months of fiscal 2015. Potentially dilutive securities of 0.5 million and 0.1 million shares for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. 

7

Note D--Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans.  During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of non-statutory stock options and service-based and performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees.  The employee non-statutory stock option grants totaled 66,600 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $29.92 per share. The options vest evenly over a three-year period and have a ten-year contractual term. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled 79,500 units and the employee service-based RSUs totaled 26,500 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date. 

For the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: 

	Three Months Ended   July 31,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Cost of sales and distribution	$	155	$	140
Selling and marketing expenses	256		219
General and administrative expenses	532		502
Stock-based compensation expense	$	943	$	861

During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved grants of 10,416 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units (RSTUs) and 3,584 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees who previously received RSU grants under the Company’s shareholder approved plan.  Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date.  Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment.  The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value.  The Company recognized expense of $49 thousand and $17 thousand related to RSTUs for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $127 thousand and $78 thousand as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 , respectively.

Note E--Customer Receivables

The components of customer receivables were: 

	July 31,			April 30,
(in thousands)	2014			2014
Gross customer receivables	$	54,071		$	48,943
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(108		)	(102		)
Allowance for returns and discounts	(2,589		)	(2,366		)
Net customer receivables	$	51,374		$	46,475

Note F--Inventories

The components of inventories were: 

	July 31,			April 30,
(in thousands)	2014			2014
Raw materials	$	16,039		$	13,756
Work-in-process	19,746			19,179
Finished goods	14,532			13,439
Total FIFO inventories	50,317			46,374
Reserve to adjust inventories to LIFO value	(14,860		)	(14,851		)
Total LIFO inventories	$	35,457		$	31,523

Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since these items are estimated, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note G--Product Warranty

The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues.  The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period.  Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates.  Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet: 

	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands)	2014			2013
Beginning balance at May 1	$	1,910		$	1,795

Note I--Pension Benefits

Effective April 30, 2012, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the Company’s hourly and salary defined-benefit pension plans.

Net periodic pension (benefit) cost consisted of the following for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013: 

	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands)	2014			2013
Interest cost	$	1,617		$	1,551
Expected return on plan assets	(1,917		)	(1,778		)
Recognized net actuarial loss	216			282
Net periodic pension (benefit) cost	$	(84	)	$	55

The Company expects to contribute $4.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2015, which represents required funding.  As of July 31, 2014, $0.5 million of contributions had been made.  The Company made contributions of $2.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2014.

Note J--Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company announced a restructuring initiative (“2012 Restructuring Plan”) that committed to the closing of two of the Company’s manufacturing plants located in Hardy County, West Virginia and Hazard, Kentucky, offering its previously idled plant in Tahlequah, Oklahoma for sale, and realigning its retirement program, including freezing the Company’s defined benefit pension plans.  Operations ceased at the Hazard plant in April 2012 and at the Hardy County plant in May 2012.  The 2012 Restructuring Plan was adopted to reduce costs and increase the Company’s capacity utilization rates. 

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and fiscal 2012, the Company recognized aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of $17.1 million related to the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  During the three months ended July 31, 2014, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring charges of $3 thousand related to the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  In addition, the Company recognized recurring operating costs for the sole remaining closed facility of $28 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2014, which are expected to continue until the plant is sold. 

As of July 31, 2014, the Company had one manufacturing plant classified as held for sale, which was closed in connection with the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold its closed plant located in Hazard, Kentucky. The Company believes that the remaining $1.0 million net book value of the property classified as held for sale is fully recoverable.  This asset is included in Other Assets on the Company’s balance sheet at July 31, 2014.

Note K--Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:

Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds and mutual funds. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.

Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

10

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements
	As of July 31, 2014
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS:
Money market funds	$	38,877	$	0	$	0
Mutual funds	1,228		0		0
Total assets at fair value	$	40,105	$	0	$	0
	As of April 30, 2014
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS:
Money market funds	$	38,877	$	0	$	0
Mutual funds	1,204		0		0
Total assets at fair value	$	40,081	$	0	$	0

Note L--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt

The Company’s outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must: (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2014, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2014 was 0.7 to 1.0; and (2) cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 3.18 to 1.0.

Note M--Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 29.2%, compared with 37.7% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2015 was the result of the Company finalizing a federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014 of $1.1 million.

Note N--Other Information

The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss.  As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies,” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote.  The Company accounts for these loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450.  Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible or remote, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure.  In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with independent counsel.

The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of July 31, 2014.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, both of which are included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.  The Company’s critical accounting policies are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements concerning the Company’s expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts.  These statements may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  In most cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “may” or other similar words.  Forward-looking statements contained in this report, including elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are based on current expectations and our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.  In addition, the Company participates in an industry that is subject to rapidly changing conditions and there are numerous factors that could cause the Company to experience a decline in sales and/or earnings or deterioration in financial condition.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements made in this report include but are not limited to:

• general economic or business conditions and instability in the financial and credit markets, including their potential impact on our (i) sales and operating costs and access to financing, and (ii) customers and suppliers and their ability to obtain financing or generate the cash necessary to conduct their respective businesses;

• the cyclical nature of the Company’s industry, which is particularly sensitive to changes in consumer confidence, the amount of consumers’ income available for discretionary purchases, and the availability and terms of consumer credit;

• economic weakness in a specific channel of distribution;

• the loss of sales from specific customers due to their loss of market share, bankruptcy or switching to a competitor;

• risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials as well as fuel, transportation, warehousing and labor costs and environmental compliance and remediation costs;

• the need to respond to price or product initiatives launched by a competitor;

• the Company’s ability to successfully implement initiatives related to increasing market share, new products, maintaining and increasing its sales force and new product displays; and

• sales growth at a rate that outpaces the Company’s ability to install new capacity or a sales decline that requires reduction or realignment of the Company’s manufacturing capacity. 

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in this report, including elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and also in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, filed with the SEC, including under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."  While the Company believes that these risks are manageable and will not adversely impact the long-term performance of the Company, these risks could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse impact on its operating results and financial condition.

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets.  Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manufacturers, and through a network of independent dealers and distributors.  At July 31, 2014, the Company operated 9 manufacturing facilities and 9 service centers across the country.

12

The three-month period ended July 31, 2014 was the Company’s first quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 2015 (fiscal 2015).  During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company experienced improving market conditions from the housing market downturn that began in 2007.

The Company’s remodeling based business was impacted by the following trends during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2015:    

• Residential investment as a percentage of gross domestic product as tracked by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the second calendar quarter of 2014 remained flat at 3.1% for the last three calendar quarters;

• While the median price per existing home sold improved from the same period one year ago by 4% according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales continued to decline through the second quarter of 2014; 

• The unemployment rate improved marginally, but was still elevated versus historical norms at 6.2% as of July 2014 according to data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor;

• Mortgage interest rates decreased slightly with a thirty-year fixed mortgage rate of approximately 4.1% in June 2014 compared to 4.3% during the same period in the prior year; and

• Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan declined from 85.1 in July 2013 to 81.8 in July 2014.

The Company believes there is no single indicator that directly correlates with cabinet remodeling market activity. For this reason, the Company considers other factors in addition to those discussed above as indicators of overall market activity including credit availability, housing affordability and sales reported by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA), a trade organization which issues the aggregate sales that have been reported by its members including the largest cabinet manufacturers in the United States.  Based on the totality of factors listed above, the Company believes that the cabinet remodeling market increased in the low teens during the first three months of fiscal 2015. 

The Company’s largest remodeling customers and competitors continued to utilize sales promotions in the Company’s product category to boost sales.  These promotions consisted of free products and/or cash discounts to consumers based upon the amount or type of cabinets they purchased.  The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive.  The Company experienced promotional levels during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 that were slightly lower than those experienced in the same periods of the prior year. 

The Company’s remodeling sales increased 17% during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with the same prior-year period.  Management believes that the Company has gained market share within its primary channels of distribution but that those channels, primarily big box home improvement retailers, have lost share to other channels, primarily independent dealers. As we continue to ramp up the development of our Waypoint brand, we gained share and grew our dealer business at a faster rate than both the overall remodel and dealer channels.

Regarding new construction markets, the Company believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of cabinet activity.  Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose by 6.5% during the first three months of the Company’s fiscal 2015 over prior year levels. 

The Company believes it continued to realize strong market share gains in its new construction channel with sales increasing by more than 20% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 when compared with the same periods of fiscal 2014. The gains in market share are driven by our partnerships with national and regional builders that are gaining share of total starts, an increase in share penetration, and the better than average health of markets we serve.

The Company’s total net sales rose by 19% during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the same prior-year period, which management believes was driven primarily by a rise in the overall market activity and market share gains in new construction sales.

The Company’s gross margin rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 17.5%, down from 18.9% in the prior year’s first quarter.  The decline in the first quarter gross margin was due to material inflation and additional crewing and infrastructure to support higher levels of anticipated sales and installation activity.  These improvements were offset by the beneficial impact of increased sales volume and operating efficiencies.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company announced several initiatives designed to reduce its cost base (the 2012 Restructuring). All of these initiatives were completed either prior to or just after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2013.  The vast majority of the charges related to these activities were reflected in the Company’s results during fiscal 2012

13

and, to a lesser extent, fiscal 2013 and 2014.  The Company recorded nominal amounts during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 in connection with these initiatives.  The Company continues to include in “Other Assets,” at an aggregate $1.0 million net book value a plant held for sale that was closed in the 2012 Restructuring. 

 As of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $27.0 million.  The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company had a history of profitable operations for 16 consecutive years, from 1994 to 2009, followed by losses that coincided with the industry downturn from 2010 to 2012. Growth in the Company’s deferred tax assets resulted primarily from growth in its defined benefit pension liabilities and the impact of its losses prior to fiscal 2013. The Company earned sufficient net income during fiscal 2013 to fully utilize all of its U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward.  To fully realize the remainder of its net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to, among other things, substantially reduce its net unfunded pension obligation of $41.5 million at April 30, 2014. The Company took definitive actions when it froze its pension plans as part of the 2012 Restructuring to enhance the probability that this objective is achieved in the future.

The Company resumed the funding of its pension plans during fiscal year 2012, and expects to continue funding these plans for the foreseeable future, which will reduce both its unfunded pension plan obligation and its deferred tax asset. These actions, coupled with the recent improvement in the U.S. housing market and the Company’s continued ability to grow its sales at a faster rate than its competitors, have enabled the Company to generate net income and reduce its deferred tax assets and unfunded pension obligation beginning in fiscal 2013 and continuing through the first three months of fiscal 2015.  The Company believes that the positive evidence of the housing industry improvement, coupled with the benefits from the Company’s successful restructuring and continued market share gains have already driven a return to profitability that is expected to continue, and that the combined impact of these positive factors outweighs the negative factor of the Company’s previous losses.  Accordingly, management has concluded it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company earned net income of $9.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with $6.7 million in the first quarter of its prior fiscal year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 includes a $1.1 million one-time federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014. Exclusive of after-tax restructuring charges and one-time tax credits, the Company earned net income of $8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with $6.7 million in the first quarter of its prior fiscal year.

Net Sales.    Net sales were $211.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of 19% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2014.  Overall unit volume for the three-month period ended July 31, 2014 improved by 10%, while average revenue per unit increased 8%, driven by modest improvements in the Company’s sales mix and pricing.

GrossProfit.  Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 17.5%, compared with 18.9% for the same period of fiscal 2014.  Specific changes and additional information included:

• Materials costs increased as a percentage of net sales by 1.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with the comparable prior-year period, driven primarily by inflationary pressures in hardwood lumber and packaging;

• Overhead and installation costs increased by 0.6% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with the comparable prior year period, due to increased infrastructure to support higher levels of anticipated sales and installation activity.  This increase was partially offset by the increased sales volume as increased utilization resulted in leverage on our semi-fixed and fixed capacities;

14

• Freight costs improved by 0.4% of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with comparable prior year periods, due to higher volume across our delivery network; and

• Labor costs improved by 0.1% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with the comparable prior year period, as the increased sales volume resulted in more efficient labor costs than in the prior-year period.  

Selling andMarketing Expenses.Selling and marketing expenses were 7.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with 8.1% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2014.  Selling and marketing costs increased by 7% in relation to the 19% increase in net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  The increase in sales and marketing costs is due to timing of product launch costs and increased sales compensation costs related to the Company’s increased sales levels.

General andAdministrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were 4.0% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with 4.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. General and administrative costs were flat during the first quarter compared with the comparable prior-year period.  

Effective Income Tax Rates.The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 29.2%, compared with 37.7% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2015 was the result of the Company finalizing a federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014 of $1.1 million.

Outlook.  The Company believes that housing prices will continue to improve, driven by employment growth and a resumption of growth in new household formation. However, the Company expects that while the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2015 it will continue to be below historical averages. The Company expects that its remodeling sales for the remainder of fiscal 2015 will continue at a rate that reflects the industry-wide cabinet sales for the remodeling market and we will maintain share in our channels of distribution.  The Company regularly assesses market conditions for pricing and promotional levels.  

The Company expects that single-family housing starts and in turn, cabinet new construction market sales, will grow at a double digit rate during its fiscal year 2015, with stronger growth projected in the second half of the year, and that the Company’s new construction sales growth will continue to exceed this level for the remainder of its fiscal year. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $138.1 million at July 31, 2014, representing a $2.4 million increase from its April 30, 2014 levels, and a $37.7 million increase from its July 31, 2013 balance.  At July 31, 2014, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $21.7 million, up $0.1 million from its balance at April 30, 2014.  The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 9.3% at July 31, 2014, compared with 9.7% at April 30, 2014.

The Company’s main source of liquidity is its existing cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can borrow up to $35 million under its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo), subject to a maximum borrowing base equal to 75% of eligible accounts receivable, 50% of eligible pre bill reserves and up to $20 million for equipment value (each as defined in the credit agreement).  At July 31, 2014, $10 million of loans and $3.7 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the facility, and the Company had additional borrowing base availability of $25.0 million. 

Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2015 was $9.3 million, compared with $2.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2014.  The increase in cash generated by operating activities was driven primarily by the $2.6 million increase in the Company’s net income and changes in working capital.

The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures and investments in promotional displays.  Net cash used for investing activities was $3.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2015, compared with $3.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2014. The increase in cash used of $0.3 million was driven by increases aggregating $0.2 million in outflows for capital expenditures and promotional displays. The Company’s year-to-date gross investment in capital expenditures and promotional displays for fiscal 2015 was $3.3 million through July 31, 2014.  The Company expects that its gross outlays for capital expenditures and promotional displays will increase during fiscal 2015, compared with $11.4 million in fiscal 2014.  On August 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $30 million capital expansion project. The Company expects to incur approximately $13 million related to this expansion in fiscal 2015.

15

The Company generated positive free cash flow (defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities less net cash used for investing activities) of $6.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2015, compared with negative free cash flow of $0.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014.  The Company’s free cash flow increased by $6.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2015 compared with the prior-year period, driven by the increase in cash flow from operating activities.

During the first three months of fiscal 2015, net cash used by financing activities was $3.6 million, compared with $4.2 million of net cash provided in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was driven by the Company’s receipt of $0.6 million during the current fiscal year from employees’ exercise of stock options compared to $4.2 million in the same period of the prior year, as well as stock repurchases of $4.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2015.  

Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors on November 21, 2013, the Company is authorized to purchase up to $10 million of the Company’s common shares. Repurchases may be made from time to time through December 31, 2014 at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate. At July 31, 2014, approximately $2.8 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’s common shares. The Company purchased a total of 130,000 common shares, for an aggregrate purchase price of $4.1 million, during the first three months of fiscal 2015. The Company continues to evaluate its cash on hand and prospects for future cash generation, and compare these against its plans for future capital expenditures. Although the evaluation of its future capital expenditures is ongoing, the Company expects that it will make repurchases of its common shares from time to time during the remainder of the 2014 calendar year, subject to the Company’s financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations and any other factors then deemed relevant. See Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for further information on share repurchases.

The Company’s outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must: (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2014, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2014 was 0.7 to 1.0; and (2) cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 3.18 to 1.0.

The revolving credit facility does not limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase its common shares as long as the Company is in compliance with these covenants. 

Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for fiscal 2015.

Seasonal and Inflationary Factors

The Company’s business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal quarters.

The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Since the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the Company had no material exposure to changes in interest rates for its debt agreements.

The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks.  See “Seasonal and Inflationary Factors” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

16

Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information regarding the effects inflation and commodity price fluctuations have on the costs of the Company’s products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2014.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various suits and claims in the normal course of business all of which constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.  The Company does not have any litigation that does not constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.  Additional risks are discussed elsewhere in this report, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Outlook.”

Quarter ended July 31, 2014	130,000	$	31.26	130,000	$	2,794

(1) On November 21, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Company’s common shares. Repurchases may be made from time to time through December 31, 2014 in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company’s cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company repurchased 130,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $4.1 million.  At July 31, 2014, $2.8 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’s common shares.

BYLAWS OF

AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED

August 21, 2014

ARTICLE I.

SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the fourth Thursday in August of each year beginning at 9:00 a.m., or at such other time on such other date in each year as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time.

At each annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as is proper to consider and has been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of a class of shares entitled to vote on the business such shareholder is proposing and who is such a shareholder of record, both at the time of the giving of the shareholder’s notice hereinafter described in this Section and on the record date for such annual meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.

In order to bring before an annual meeting of shareholders any business which may properly be considered and which a shareholder has not sought to have included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the meeting, a shareholder who meets the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph must give the Corporation timely written notice. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be given, either by personal delivery to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation or by first class United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation. Any such notice must be received (i) not less than 120 days before the one-year anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, if clause (ii) is not applicable, or (ii) not less than 90 days before the date of the meeting if the date of such meeting, as prescribed in these bylaws, has been changed by more than 30 days.

Each such shareholder’s notice shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer books, of the shareholder proposing business, (ii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such shareholder, (iii) a representation that such shareholder is a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the business specified in the notice, (iv) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, including the complete text of any resolutions to be presented and the reasons for wanting to conduct such business and (v) any interest which the shareholder may have in such business. The Chairman of the meeting may dismiss any business that a shareholder attempts to bring before an annual meeting without complying with the foregoing procedure. The foregoing provisions are not applicable to shareholder nominations of Directors, the process for which is set forth in Article II.

The Secretary shall deliver each shareholder’s notice that has been timely received to the Chairman of the Board or, if there is not one, to the Chief Executive Officer for review.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a shareholder seeking to have a proposal

1

included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders shall comply with the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), or with any successor regulation. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”), the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. Notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

SECTION 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia unless otherwise prescribed by statute, as the place of meeting of shareholders for any annual meeting or for any special meeting. If no designation is made, the place of the meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of each meeting of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting (except when a different time is required in these Bylaws or by law), either personally or by mail, telecopy or any other form of communication permitted by applicable law or by private courier, by or at the direction of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or the Secretary to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If the purpose for which a shareholders meeting is called is to act on an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger, share exchange, domestication or entity conversion, a proposed sale of assets contemplated by Section 13.1-724 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, or the dissolution of the Corporation, notice shall be delivered not less than twenty-five (25) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting date to all shareholders of the Corporation, whether or not entitled to vote.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of a shareholders’ meeting need be given to a shareholder if (i) an annual report and proxy statements for two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders, or (ii) all, and at least two, checks in payment of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period, have been sent by first-class United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the share transfer books of the Corporation, and returned undeliverable. The obligation of the Corporation to give notice of shareholders’ meetings to any such shareholder shall be reinstated once the Corporation has received a new address for such shareholder for entry on its share transfer books.

If a meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. However, if a new record date for an adjourned meeting is fixed, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to shareholders as of the new record date unless a court provides otherwise.

SECTION 5. Record Dates. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or to receive any dividend or for any purpose, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring such determination of

2

shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which shall be required if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one-hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the original meeting.

SECTION 6. Voting Lists. At least ten (10) days before each meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the share transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof with the address of and the number of shares held by each. For a period of ten days before the meeting, such list shall be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation or at its principal office or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar. Any person who shall have been a shareholder of record for at least 6 months immediately preceding such person’s demand or who shall be the holder of record of at least 5% of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation, upon demand made in good faith stating with reasonable particularity the purpose of such demand, shall have the right to inspect such list, in person, for any proper purpose if such list is directly connected with such purpose, during usual business hours within the period of 10 days prior to the meeting. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purpose thereof.

SECTION 7. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

SECTION 8. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. A shareholder or the shareholder’s agent or attorney-in-fact may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form or by any other means authorized by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or other applicable law. Such proxy shall be effective when filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes. Such proxy shall be valid for eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

SECTION 9. Voting of Shares. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved if the number of votes cast favoring the action exceed the number of votes cast opposing the action unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law or by the Board of Directors or other person proposing the matter or is otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The vote required in the election of directors shall be as provided in Section 4 of Article II.

SECTION 10. Organization and Order of Business.

(a) The Chairman shall serve as chairman at all meetings of the shareholders. In the absence of the

3

Chairman or if the Chairman declines to serve, the chairman of the meeting shall be designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary shall act as secretary at all meetings of the shareholders. In the event that neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The chairman of the meeting shall have the authority to make such rules and regulations, to establish such procedures and to take such steps as the chairman deems necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of each meeting of the shareholders, including, without limitation, the authority to make the agenda and to establish procedures for (i) dismissing business not properly presented, (ii) maintaining order and safety, (iii) placing limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, (iv) placing restrictions on attendance at a meeting by persons or classes of persons who are not shareholders or their proxies, (v) restricting entry to a meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof, (vi) commencing, conducting and closing voting on any matter and (vii) adjourning the meeting to be reconvened at a later date.

ARTICLE II.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. General Powers. The Corporation shall have a Board of Directors. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors, subject to any limitation set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.

SECTION 2. Number, Tenure and Qualification. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be ten. Directors shall be elected for terms that expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders following their election. No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Despite the expiration of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and duly qualified, until there is a decrease in the number of directors or until removed by the shareholders, whichever event first occurs.

SECTION 3. Nomination of Directors. Nominations for the election of directors at any annual meeting of shareholders may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder who is a shareholder of record of a class of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors generally and who is such a shareholder of record, both at the time of the giving of the shareholder’s notice hereinafter described in this Section and on the record date for such annual meeting. However, such a shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors only if written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations is submitted in writing, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation and is received at the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than, (i) 120 days before the one-year anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, if clause (ii) is not applicable, or (ii) 90 days before the date of the annual meeting if the date of such annual meeting, as prescribed in these bylaws, has been changed by more than 30 days.

Each such nomination shall set forth the name and address of the nominee and a description of the nominee’s qualifications for serving as a director and: (i) the name and address of the shareholder making the nomination; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and, if necessary, would appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or

4

understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if the nominee were to be nominated by the Board of Directors; (d) information concerning each nominee’s independence as defined by applicable NASDAQ listing standards; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if elected. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

SECTION 4. Election. Except as provided in Section 13 of this Article II, directors shall be elected by the holders of the common shares at each annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting called for such purpose. Each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, that if it is determined that the number of persons properly nominated to serve as elected directors of the Corporation exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a contested election), the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director.

In order for any incumbent director to be a nominee for continued service on the Board of Directors he or she must submit an irrevocable offer of resignation, contingent on failing to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election. Following an uncontested election, if a nominee who is an incumbent director does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters shall consider, and recommend to the Board of Directors, whether to accept or reject the offer of resignation. Within 90 days following certification of the election results, the Board of Directors shall act on the offered resignation. In determining whether or not to accept the offered resignation, the Board of Directors shall consider any recommendation of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters, the factors considered by that committee and any additional information and factors that the Board of Directors believes to be relevant. The Board of Directors will promptly disclose its decision whether to accept the director’s resignation offer (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation offer, if applicable) in a press release to be disseminated in the manner that the Corporation’s press releases typically are distributed.

An incumbent director who fails to receive a sufficient vote for reelection shall not participate in the deliberations or decisions of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters, or the Board of Directors, regarding such director’s resignation. However, if each member of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters fails to receive a sufficient vote for reelection, then the independent directors who did receive a sufficient vote shall appoint a committee amongst themselves to consider the resignation offers and recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept them. In addition, if the only directors who did receive a sufficient vote for reelection in the same election constitute three or fewer directors, all directors may participate in the action regarding whether to accept or reject the resignation offers.

If the submitted resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, the director, despite the expiration of his or her term, shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and duly qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, or if a nominee for director is not elected by the shareholders, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy in accordance with Section 13 of this Article II.

5

No individual shall be named or elected as a director without such individual’s prior consent.

SECTION 5. Regular Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt a schedule of meetings, which shall be considered regular meetings. Regular meetings shall be held at such times and at such places, within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors shall designate from time to time. If no place is designated, regular meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 6. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or any two directors and shall be held at such times and at such places, within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia, as such person or persons calling the meeting shall designate. If no such place is designated in the notice of a meeting, it shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 7. Notice. No notice need be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least six (6) hours before the meeting in person or delivered to his or her residence or business address (or such other place as the director may have directed in writing) by mail, messenger, telecopy, telegraph, email or any other form of communication permitted by applicable law or by telephoning such notice to the director. Any such notice may be oral or written and shall set forth the time and place of the meeting and shall state the purpose for which the meeting is called.

SECTION 8. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors in office immediately before the meeting begins shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors then present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

SECTION 9. Voting. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present is the act of the Board of Directors. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless (i) the director objects, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting specified business at the meeting or (ii) the director votes against or abstains from the action taken.

SECTION 10. Participation in Meetings. The Board of Directors may permit any or all directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

SECTION 11. Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents describing the action is signed by each director before or after such action is taken and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records. Action taken under this Section shall be effective when the last director signs the consent unless the consent specifies a different effective date in which event the action taken is effective as of the date specified therein provided the consent states the date of execution by each director.

SECTION 12. Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause. Unless the Articles of Incorporation require a greater vote, a director may be removed if the

6

number of votes cast to remove the director constitutes a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at an election of directors. A director may be removed by the shareholders only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing such director and the meeting notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes of the meeting, is removal of the director.

SECTION 13. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from the removal of a director or an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise provided by law. The term of a director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall expire at the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected.

SECTION 14. Compensation. The directors shall receive such compensation for their services as directors and as members or chair of any committee appointed by the Board as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors and shall be reimbursed by the Corporation for ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

SECTION 15. Committees. The Board of Directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on them. Unless otherwise provided in these Bylaws, each committee shall have two or more members who serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The creation of a committee and appointment of members to it shall be approved by the greater of (i) a majority of all of the directors in office when action is taken, or (ii) the number of directors required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws to take action. The provisions of these Bylaws that govern meetings, action without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements of the Board of Directors shall apply to committees of directors and their members as well.

SECTION 16. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman, if one is designated by the Board of Directors, shall preside at all meetings of the Board and perform such other duties as the Board shall assign from time to time. In the absence of the Chairman, the chairman of the meeting shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 17. Secretary of Meetings. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall act as secretary of meetings of the Board. In the absence of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

ARTICLE III.

ARTICLE IV.

Shares of the Corporation, when fully paid, shall be evidenced by certificates containing such information as is required by law and in such form as approved by the Board of Directors. When issued, such certificates shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and may (but need not) be sealed with the seal of the Corporation. The seal of the Corporation and any or all of the signatures on a share certificate may be facsimile. If any officer, transfer agent or registrar who signed, or whose facsimile signature has been written, printed or stamped on, a certificate for shares shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate shall be as valid as though such individual were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Alternatively, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of some or all shares without certificates. In such event, within a reasonable time after issuance, the Corporation shall mail to the shareholder a written confirmation of its records with respect to such shares containing the information required by law.

SECTION 2. Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer. The Board of Directors may make rules and regulations concerning the issue, registration and transfer of shares and/or certificates representing the shares of the Corporation.

9

the Corporation, and on surrender for cancellation of the certificate representing such shares, if any, accompanied by written assignments given by such record holder, legal representative or attorney-in-fact.

SECTION 3. Transfer Agents and Registrar. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents or transfer clerks, and one or more registrars, who shall be appointed at such times and places as the requirements of the Corporation may necessitate and the Board of Directors may designate.

SECTION 4. Lost or Destroyed Share Certificates.

SECTION 5. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the owner thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person. The Corporation shall not be liable for registering any transfer of shares which are registered in the name of a fiduciary unless done with actual knowledge of facts which would cause the Corporation’s action in registering the transfer to amount to bad faith.

ARTICLE V.

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of May of each year and end on the last day of April in such year. The Board of Directors shall have power to fix and to change the fiscal year of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VI.

CORPORATE SEAL

The Corporation may, but need not, have a corporate seal, which may be altered at will, and may use the same by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced. The failure to affix a seal shall not affect the validity of any instrument.

ARTICLE VII.

WAIVER OF NOTICE

Unless otherwise provided by law, whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder or director of the Corporation under the provisions of these Bylaws or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or under the provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the date and time of the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Such waiver shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.

A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting (i) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless the shareholder, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and (ii) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the

10

meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

A director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to such director of the meeting unless the director, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

ARTICLE VIII.

AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors may be repealed or changed or new bylaws adopted by the shareholders, and the shareholders may prescribe that any bylaw adopted by them may not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company announced a restructuring initiative (“2012 Restructuring Plan”) that committed to the closing of two of the Company’s manufacturing plants located in Hardy County, West Virginia and Hazard, Kentucky, offering its previously idled plant in Tahlequah, Oklahoma for sale, and realigning its retirement program, including freezing the Company’s defined benefit pension plans.  Operations ceased at the Hazard plant in April 2012 and at the Hardy County plant in May 2012.  The 2012 Restructuring Plan was adopted to reduce costs and increase the Company’s capacity utilization rates. 

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and fiscal 2012, the Company recognized aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of $17.1 million related to the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  During the three months ended July 31, 2014, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring charges of $3 thousand related to the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  In addition, the Company recognized recurring operating costs for the sole remaining closed facility of $28 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2014, which are expected to continue until the plant is sold. 

As of July 31, 2014, the Company had one manufacturing plant classified as held for sale, which was closed in connection with the 2012 Restructuring Plan.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold its closed plant located in Hazard, Kentucky. The Company believes that the remaining $1.0 million net book value of the property classified as held for sale is fully recoverable.  This asset is included in Other Assets on the Company’s balance sheet at July 31, 2014.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:

Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds and mutual funds. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.

Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans.  During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of non-statutory stock options and service-based and performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees.  The employee non-statutory stock option grants totaled 66,600 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $29.92 per share. The options vest evenly over a three-year period and have a ten-year contractual term. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled 79,500 units and the employee service-based RSUs totaled 26,500 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date. 

For the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: 

	Three Months Ended   July 31,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Cost of sales and distribution	$	155	$	140
Selling and marketing expenses	256		219
General and administrative expenses	532		502
Stock-based compensation expense	$	943	$	861

During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved grants of 10,416 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units (RSTUs) and 3,584 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees who previously received RSU grants under the Company’s shareholder approved plan.  Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date.  Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment.  The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value.  The Company recognized expense of $49 thousand and $17 thousand related to RSTUs for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $127 thousand and $78 thousand as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 , respectively.

Other Information

Other Information

The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss.  As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies,” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote.  The Company accounts for these loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450.  Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible or remote, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure.  In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with independent counsel.

The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of July 31, 2014.
