Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors

Worthington Armstrong Venture:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Worthington Armstrong Venture (a general partnership) (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, partners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Worthington Armstrong Venture as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

WORTHINGTON ARMSTRONG VENTURE

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

 

(1)

Description of Business

Worthington Armstrong Venture (the Company) is a general partnership, formed in June 1992, between Armstrong Ventures, Inc. (Armstrong), a subsidiary of Armstrong World Industries Inc., and Worthington Ventures, Inc. (Worthington), a subsidiary of Worthington Industries, Inc. Its business is to manufacture and market suspension systems for commercial and residential ceiling markets throughout the world. The Company has manufacturing plants located in the United States, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Peoples Republic of China.

 

(2)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a)

Use of Estimates

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include management estimates and judgments, where appropriate. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables and inventories; and assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (b)

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Worthington Armstrong Venture and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

  (c)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and the related accounts receivable when title transfers, generally on the date of shipment. At the time of shipment the provision is made for estimated applicable discounts and losses and reduces revenue. Sales with independent U.S. distributors of certain products to major home center retailers are recorded when the products are shipped from the distributor’s locations to these retailers.

 

  (d)

Advertising Costs

The Company recognizes advertising expenses as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $849,000, $812,000, and $837,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

 

  (e)

Research and Development Expenditures

The Company recognizes research and development expense as expenditures are incurred. Total research and development expense was $1,833,000, $1,683,000, and $1,459,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

 

  (f)

Taxes

The Company is a general partnership in the United States, and accordingly, all U.S. federal and state income taxes are the responsibility of the two general partners. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for foreign subsidiaries for taxes estimated to be payable in future years based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

(Continued)

WORTHINGTON ARMSTRONG VENTURE

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

  (g)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term cash investments that have maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

  (h)

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses, current receivables aging, and existing industry and national economic data. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

  (i)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

 

  (j)

Long-Lived Assets

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, with accumulated depreciation and amortization deducted to arrive at net book value. Depreciation charges are determined generally on the straight-line basis using the half-year convention method over the useful lives as follows: buildings , 30 years; machinery and equipment, 5 to 15 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of 10 years or the life of the lease. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If an indicator of impairment is present the asset is reduced to fair value.

 

  (k)

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their residual values and reviewed for impairment. The impairment tests performed in 2006, 2005, and 2004 did not result in an impairment of the Company’s goodwill.

 

  (l)

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

For subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, income statement items are translated into dollars at average exchange rates throughout the year and balance sheet items are translated at year-end exchange rates. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(3)

Accounts Receivable

The Company sells its products to select, preapproved customers whose businesses are directly affected by changes in economic and market conditions. The Company considers these factors and the financial condition of each customer when establishing its allowance for losses from doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $346,000 and $685,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill increased or (decreased) by $189,000, $(257,000), and $167,000 during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, due to foreign currency translation.

 

(7)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Debt

There was no outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 and 2005. In September 2005, the Company paid off its $50 million Term Loan and established a $50 million Revolving Line of Credit with PNC Bank. The length of the credit agreement is five years ending in September 2010. The Company had pledged a security interest in its assets as collateral for the credit line. The security interest was terminated on November 16, 2006. The credit agreement contains restrictive financial covenants regarding interest coverage, leverage ratios, and dividend restrictions. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no advances against the credit line or liabilities recorded on the Company’s books.

 

(9)

Pension Benefit Programs

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for eligible hourly employees in its former manufacturing plant located in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This plan was curtailed in January 2004 due to the consolidation of the Company’s East coast operations, which eliminated the expected future years of service for participants in the plan (note 15). The curtailment event resulted in additional expense recognition of the remaining unrecognized prior service cost of $937,000 in 2004. The Company also contributes to the Worthington defined contribution pension plan for all other eligible U.S. employees. Cost for this plan was $836,000, $658,000, and $630,000 for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The Company also contributes to government-related pension programs in a number of foreign countries. The cost for these plans amounted to $184,000, $155,000, and $154,000 for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as a net asset or liability on its balance sheet.

The following table sets forth the plan’s benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and funded status at December 31, 2006 and 2005:

Rate of compensation increase

   N/A     N/A  

The Company’s overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 8%. In developing the 8% expected long-term rate of return assumption, the Company considered its historical compounded return and reviewed asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions.

December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

The primary investment objective of the defined benefit pension plan is to achieve long-term growth of capital in excess of 8% annually, exclusive of contributions or withdrawals. This objective is to be achieved through a balanced portfolio comprised of equities, fixed income, and cash investments.

Each asset class utilized by the defined benefit pension plan has a targeted percentage. The following table shows the asset allocation target and the December 31, 2006 and 2005 position:

 

           Position at December 31  
     Target weight     2006     2005  

Equity securities

   65 %   69 %   71 %

Fixed income securities

   35     28     26  

Cash and equivalents

Income Taxes

The Company is a general partnership in the United States, and accordingly, all U.S. federal and state income taxes are the responsibility of the two general partners. Therefore, no income tax provision has been recorded on U.S. income. There are no significant differences between the statutory income tax rates in foreign countries where the Company operates and the income tax provision recorded in the income statements. No deferred taxes, including withholding taxes, have been provided on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries as the Company’s intention is to invest these earnings permanently.

Deferred tax balances recorded on the balance sheets relate primarily to depreciation and accrued expenses. In 2006, the provision for income tax expense (benefit) was $3,754,000 comprising $3,856,000 current and $(102,000) deferred. In 2005, the provision for income tax expense (benefit) was $2,299,000 comprising $2,338,000 current and $(39,000) deferred. In 2004, the provision for income tax expense (benefit) was $2,329,000 comprising $2,437,000 current and $(108,000) deferred.
