Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as 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.
Level 3 – 3—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 categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and credit facility, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amount of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability at March 31, 2012 represented its estimated fair value. Upon consummation of the IPO on April 2, 2012, prior to the automatic conversion of the convertible preferred stock warrant into a common stock warrant, the estimated fair valueit was remeasured and the change in fair value was recorded as a non-cash charge in other income (expense), net and the related liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.capital (Note 7).

Product Recall
The Company establishes reserves for product recalls on a product-specific basis when circumstances giving rise to the recall become known. The Company, when establishing reserves for a product recall, considers cost estimates for any fees and incentives to customers for their effort to return the product, freight and destruction charges for returned products, warehouse and inspection fees, repackaging materials, point-of-sale materials and other costs including costs incurred by contract manufacturers. Additionally, the Company estimates product returns from consumers and customers across distribution channels, utilizing third-party data and other assumptions. These factors are updated and reevaluated each period and the related reserves are adjusted when these factors indicate that the recall reserves are either insufficient to cover or exceed the estimated product recall expenses.

Significant changes in the assumptions used to develop estimates for product recall reserves could affect key financial information, including accounts receivable, inventory, accrued liabilities, net sales, gross profit, operating expenses and net income. In addition, estimating product recall reserves requires a high degree of judgment in areas such as estimating consumer returns, shelf and in-stock inventory at retailers across distribution channels, fees and incentives to be earned by customers for their effort to return the products, future freight rates and consumers’ claims.
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. PotentialThe Company utilizes the treasury stock method to calculate potential common shares included those underlying our convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method),that underlie its stock options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units (using the treasury stock method) and the warrant to purchase our common stock (using the treasury stock method).units. Performance share units were excluded from potential common shares since no shares were issuable as of December 31, 2012June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012. The performance share units vest based on achievement of specified percentage of targeted cumulative compounded earnings per share growth rate during the three-year period ending March 31, 2015.
The potential common shares from the convertible preferred stock warrant had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and the potential common shares from convertible preferred stock had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, and, accordingly, were excluded from the calculation. Additionally, certain2013. Certain stock options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the periods presented, and were also excluded. Further, certain restricted stock units had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and were excluded.
Net income attributable to common stockholders during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 was allocated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per share when a company’s capital structure includes two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Under this method, the Company reduced income from operations by the dividends paid to convertible preferred stockholders and the rights of the convertible preferred stockholders to participate in undistributed earnings. The undistributed earnings were allocated based on the relative percentage of weighted average shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock to the total number of weighted average shares of outstanding common and convertible preferred stock.
Out-of-period Adjustment
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company corrected an error in the measurement of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The correction increased the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability by $0.9 million and decreased additional paid-in capital by $0.4 million with a corresponding increase in expense of $0.5 million, which was recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statement of operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The correction was an accumulation of an error that should have been recorded in prior periods and would have increased net loss for fiscal 2009 by $44,000, increased net income by $79,000 for fiscal 2010 and decreased net income by $0.6 million for fiscal 2011. Management assessed the impact of this error and did not believe that it was material, either individually or in the aggregate, to any prior period financial statements or to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.

The space was comprised of 25,127 square feet of office space and 8,384 square feet of warehouse space. Pursuant to the Lease, the landlord reserved the right to elect to recapture from the Company, and lease to a third party, a portion of the warehouse space comprising not more than 6,525 square feet (“Recapture Space”), subject to certain terms and conditions provided for by the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company had a right of first refusal to lease the Recapture Space. The lease term for the Recapture Space was coterminous with the initial term, including any extensions. Further, in the event that the landlord did not elect to recapture the Recapture Space, the Company had the right, upon written notice to the landlord, to elect to lease the Recapture Space and the landlord shall build out the Recapture Space for office use. On September 25, 2012, the Company exercised the right and entered into an amendment to the Lease (the “Lease Amendment”).
The Lease Amendment provided (i) for the reconfiguration of the warehouse space to additional office space in order to accommodate growth, and (ii) the Company with a first option to extend the initial term of the Lease for three years (the “First Option”) followed by a second option to extend the Lease for an additional two years (the “Second Option” and, together with the First Option, the “Option Periods”). The terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, as amended, will continue to govern the Options Periods, except that the applicable monthly rent for the Option Periods will be equal to 95% of the fair market rental rate for the property, however, the monthly rent payable during the Option Periods will not be less than the monthly rent payable during the immediately preceding month of the initial term or First Option period, as applicable. The landlord is required to deliver to the Company a notice of the fair market rental rate for the property no later than August 1, 2015. If the Company does not agree with the proposed fair market rental rate, then the term of the lease will expire at the end of the initial term in February 2016. In such event, the Company will have to reimburse to the landlord an amount not to exceed 40% of the total tenant improvement allowance plus interest, as determined in accordance with the Lease.

Our net sales are derived primarily from the sale of meals, snacks, dressings, condiments and other products under the Annie’s Homegrown and Annie’s Naturals brand names. We have experienced strong growth driven by our meals and snacksacross all product categories, resulting from our focus on supporting our best-selling items and the introduction of new products in these categories. We have reduced our offerings in our dressings and condiments product lines and discontinued our cereal product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, which resulted in low or negative quarter over quarter growth in that category in recent quarters. In the most recent quarter, despite the impact of discontinuance of the cereal, the category achieved strong growth quarter over quarter driven by stronger consumption trends.
Gross profit is net of cost of sales, which consists of the costs of ingredients in the manufacture of products, contract manufacturing fees, inventory write-off, packaging costs and in-bound freight charges.

The voluntary product recall was a result of our contract manufacturer for pizza crusts identifying small metal fragments in the pizza dough during a manufacturing run and
in some finished pizza crusts made on the same day. We immediately halted production and began investigating the issue. Soon thereafter, we determined that the small metal fragments originated at the third-party flour mill from where we source our pizza flour. We then initiated a recall of all lots of pizza product manufactured with this supplier’s flour from our first purchase from the supplier in May 2012.
The fullDirect costs of the voluntary product recall include customer and consumer returns, costs associated with returned product, costs incurred by our contract manufacturers, incremental costs associated with short-term sourcing of replacement flour, destruction charges and inventory write-off, retailer margin and customer fees and incentives.

We expect the effects of the voluntary product recall to continue to be reflected in our financial statements over the next few quarters.
In addition, we expect to incur approximately $1.0 million of costs associated with product returns and related costs for sales subsequent to December 31, 2012 including the destruction and write off of inventory consisting of non-pizza products manufactured with flour sourced from the same third-party flour mill that provided flour for the recalled pizza products. None of these affected non-pizza products were shipped to customers. We expect to record these costs associated with the voluntary product recall inDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

We expect to see a recovery in sales of our pizza products in the late fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and first quarter of fiscal 2014, as retailers seek to restock inventory of pizza products.
Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business
Net salesThe growth rates for the U.S. natural and organic food market have been, and are expected to continue to be, higher than those for the overall U.S. food market. We believe growth in the natural and organic food market is driven by various factors, including heightened awareness of the role that food and nutrition play in long-term health and wellness. Many consumers prefer natural and organic products due to increasing concerns over the purity and safety of food as a result of the presence of pesticide residues, growth hormones and artificial and genetically engineered ingredients in the foods we eat. In this growing market, we expect competition from other natural and organic packaged food companies as well as mainstream conventional packaged food companies to increase, as they may seek to introduce products in our key categories or seek to make existing products more attractive to the natural and organic consumer. We continue to experience greater consumer demand for natural and organic food products and increasing awareness of the Annie’s brand and our offerings have contributed to increased growth in net sales.
Our top-line growth continues to be driven by our increased penetration of mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels, product innovation, increased brand awareness and greater consumer demand for natural and organic food products. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, we have experienced acceleration in consumer trends for many of our products. We also have benefited from improved placement in the mainstream grocery channel, whichchannel. Additionally, we believe has resulted in increased sales of our products. Ourcontinued product innovation, including adding new flavors and sizes to existing lines and introducing new product lines, will benefit net sales growth has been primarily driven by volume; however,growth. In June 2013, we have demonstratedentered into the ability to execute price increases as needed to maintain margins, driven bysingle-serve microwavable cup segment of the macaroni and cheese category and in August 2013, we announced our strong brand loyalty and perceived value relative to the competition.entry into family-size frozen entrées.
We purchase finished products from independentour contract manufacturers. We have long standing, strategic relationships with manyWith an industry-wide commodity cost escalation starting in fiscal 2008, we became more directly involved in the sourcing of the ingredients for our products. This allowed us to consolidate ingredient sourcing across contract manufacturers in order to negotiate more favorable pricing on ingredients and, suppliers of organic ingredients. We enter, eitherin some cases, to lock in ingredient pricing for typically six to twelve months through non-cancelable purchase commitments, directly or through contract manufacturers, into forward pricing contracts with certain ingredient suppliers. This practice provides us with significant visibility into our cost structure over the next six to twelve months.manufacturers. In fiscal 2012,2013, our contracted ingredients represented approximately 48%50% of our materialmaterials costs and 25%over 31% of our cost of sales. OverThese efforts mitigated the past 18 months,impact of volatile and increasing commodity costs on our business. We plan to continue to expand our portfolio of contracted ingredients and negotiate pricing agreement for future purchases to allow us sufficient time to respond to changes in our ingredient costs over time.
Additionally, we have experienced increased costs for many of our inputsinvested significant time and expect these higher costsenergy to continue throughout the remainder of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). We strive to maintain or improve gross margins despite increasing commodity costs through a combination ofand achieve permanent cost managementreductions and price increases. We actively manage our input and production costs through commodity management practices, vendor negotiation, productivity improvements and cost reductions in our supply chain. We invest significant time and effort to achieve permanent cost reductions in our supply chain.

Many of our selling, general and administrative expenses are variable with volume, including freight and warehouse expenses and commissions paid to our sales brokers. In addition, we continue to make investments in marketing to drive trial of our products and promote awareness of our brand and in research and development to support our robust innovation pipeline. Starting in fiscal 2012, we incurred incremental expense related to getting ready to operate as a public company. We expect to incur approximately $2 million in incremental expense annually related to being a public company.

Our discussion of our results of operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain net sales, gross profit, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, income from operations and net income figures that exclude the impact of our January 2013 voluntary product recall of pizza products announced on January 22, 2013.and shelf registration costs. These figures are non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate these non-GAAP figures by eliminating the impact of our January 2013 voluntary product recall and shelf registration costs, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. We believe these non-GAAP figures provide additional information to facilitate the comparison of our past and present financial results and better visibility into our normal operating results by isolating the effects of the voluntary product recall.recall and shelf registration costs. However, our computation of these non-GAAP measures is likely to differ from methods used by other companies in computing similarly titled or defined terms, limiting the usefulness of these measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP financial measures and investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included a $1.6 million reduction dueincrease was primarily driven by
volume with approximately 200 basis points of growth from higher average selling prices. Distribution gains and our mainline placement initiative contributed to the voluntary product recallvolume increase, primarily impacting mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels. These gains were partially offset by lower volume in the natural channel, primarily driven by a reduction in inventory carrying levels at one of our certified organic and made with organic pizza products. major customers.
The increase in net sales (net of the effects of the voluntary product recall) reflects ana $2.4 million, $1.9 million and $0.5 million increase in net sales of snacks, meals and dressings, condiments and other, respectively. Snacks growth outpaced meals growth in this quarter due to higher net sales to mass merchandiser customers, which typically sell a higher volume of $2.7 million, $2.0 millionsnacks than our customers in mainstream grocery and $0.8 million, respectively.natural retailer channels, on average. The increase in snacks was primarily due to growth in our fruit snacks, grahams, crackers and mixed snacks and snack mix product lines. The increase in meals was predominantly driven by strong growth in natural and gluten-free macaroni and cheese products partially offset by the voluntary product recalllower sales of frozen pizzaorganic and deluxe macaroni and cheese products. Organic frozen pizza first shipped in January 2012 and made with organic frozen pizza first shipped during second quarter. As discussed earlier, we initiated a voluntary product recall of all frozen pizza products in January 2013.
The increase in the dressings, condiments and other category was attributable to strong performance of natural and organicpredominantly driven by strength in dressings and condiments, partially offset by the discontinuation of our cereal product line. Distribution gains and our mainline placement initiatives also contributed to net sales growth, primarily in the mainstream grocery channel. The net sales increase was primarily driven by volume with approximately 3% of growth driven by higher average selling prices.
Excluding the impact of our voluntary product recall, our net sales would have increased $7.0 million, or 22.7%, to $37.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $30.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011.condiments.

Gross profit increased $0.5$1.0 million, or 3.6%6.9%, to $13.0$14.8 million forin the three months ended December 31, 2012June 30, 2013 from $12.6$13.8 million forin the three months ended December 31, 2011. June 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by higher net sales, partially offset by higher commodity costs and a $0.2 million increase in cost of sales associated with our January 2013 voluntary product recall relating to increased flour costs from an alternative supplier on short notice.
Gross margin decreased 4.82.5 percentage points to 35.9% from 40.7% during37.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared toJune 30, 2013 from 40.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2011.June 30, 2012. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to a reduction in net sales of $1.6 million due to voluntary product recall and a corresponding increase in cost of sales of $0.7 million for estimated costs associated with the product recall. The estimated costs associated with the product recall comprised of affected inventory write-off $0.6 million and costs incurred by contract manufacturers $0.1 million. The effect of the charge for voluntary product recall costs on gross margin was approximately 4.5 percentage points. To a lesser extent, the decrease in gross margin resulted from higher commodity costs and increased trade spending, partially offset by a price increase that was implemented in October 2012 and the cumulative impact of various cost reduction initiatives. We expect to see slightly higher commodity costs in the fourth quarter versus our year-to-date results driven by higher dairy costs. We also expect to invest in incremental trade promotions beyond our original plans to support pizza in our fourth quarter. As a result, we expect our fourth quarter gross margin to be in the low to mid 39 percentage range with a full year margin in the mid 39 percentage range.
Excluding the impact of the voluntary product recall, our gross profit would have increased $2.7 million, or 21.6%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and gross margin would have decreased 0.3 percentage points to 40.4% from 40.7% during the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011.average selling prices.

This increase was due primarily to an increase in payroll expense resulting from increased headcount to support our growth and operations as a public company. Additionally, public company-related expenses impacted selling, general and administrative expensesgrowth. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were not impacted due to voluntary product recall since it was announced in January 2013.

Effective tax rate | 39.6 | % | 40.2 | % |
Our effective tax rate was 39.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to 40.2% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate is based on a projection of our annual fiscal year results. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 due to the impact of state income tax credits. We expect our full year effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 to be approximately 40.4%.
In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $6.7 million of tax deductions associated with stock option exercises. As of December 31, 2012, $6.0 million of these tax deductions are considered “excess” stock compensation-related deductions, resulting in a reduction in taxes payable of $4.5 million, recording a tax refund receivable of $3.0 million, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital of $7.5 million. We will recognize the remaining $0.4 million of stock compensation-related deductions as a reduction in taxes payable in future periods as we generate state taxable income.

As a result of the factors above, net income decreased $0.8 million, or 37.2%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Excluding the impact of the voluntary product recall, our net income would have increased $0.5 million, or 23.1%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Net sales increased $18.9 million, or 19.3%, to $117.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $98.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 included a $1.6 million reduction due to the voluntary product recall of our certified organic and made with organic pizza products. The increase in net sales (net of the effects of the voluntary product recall) reflects an increase in net sales of meals, snacks and dressings, condiments and other of $11.3 million, $7.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in meals was predominantly driven by strong growth in the natural macaroni and cheese product line, offset by the voluntary product recall of frozen pizza products. Organic frozen pizza first shipped in January 2012 and made with organic pizza first shipped during our
second quarter. As discussed earlier, we initiated a voluntary product recall of all frozen pizza products in January 2013. The increase in snacks was primarily due to growth in our grahams, crackers, mixed snacks and fruit snacks product lines. The slight increase in dressings, condiments and other was attributable to strong growth in natural and organic dressings, partially offset by the discontinuation of our cereal product line. Distribution gains and our mainline placement initiatives also contributed to net sales growth, primarily in the mainstream grocery channel. The net sales increase was primarily driven by volume with slightly higher average selling prices adding modest growth.
Excluding the impact of our voluntary product recall, our net sales would have increased $20.5 million, or 20.9%, to $118.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $98.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Gross profit increased $6.4 million, or 16.8%, to $44.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from $38.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. Gross margin decreased 0.8 percentage points to 38.1% from 38.9% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to a reduction in net sales of $1.6 million due to voluntary product recall and a corresponding increase in cost of sales of $0.7 million for estimated costs associated with the product recall. The estimated costs associated with the product recall comprised of affected inventory write-off $0.6 million and costs incurred by contract manufacturers $0.1 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in net sales, partially offset by the negative impact of the product recall.
Excluding the impact of the voluntary product recall, our gross profit would have increased $8.7 million, or 22.7%, to $47.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from $38.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and gross margin would have increased 0.6 percentage points to 39.5% from 38.9% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2011 due to price increases and the cumulative benefit of various cost reduction initiatives, which were partially offset by higher commodity costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million, or 28.7%, to $32.4 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from $25.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. This increase was due primarily to an increase in payroll expense resulting from increased headcount to support our
growth and operations as a public company. Additionally, public company-related expenses impacted selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2011. Further, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $0.7 million including legal, accounting and printing costs and various other fees associated with the registration and sale of common stock in the secondary public offering by certain stockholders, including Solera. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 were not impacted due to voluntary product recall since it was announced in January 2013. However, we expect an increase in expenses due to administrative costs associated with the management of the recall including legal expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.1 percentage points to 27.7% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from 25.6% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.
Excluding the impact of the voluntary product recall, our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales would have increased 1.7 percentage points to 27.3% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from 25.6% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

We expect our full year effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 to be approximately 40% to 41%.
In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $20.8 million of tax deductions associated with stock option exercises. As of December 31, 2012, $19.5 million of these tax deductions are considered “excess” stock compensation related deductions, resulting in a reduction in taxes payable of $4.5 million, recording a tax refund receivable of $3.0 million, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital of $7.5 million. We will recognize the remaining $0.4 million of stock compensation related deductions as a reduction in taxes payable in future periods as we generate state taxable income.

Seasonality
Historically, we have experienced greater net sales in the second and fourth fiscal quarters than in the first and third fiscal quarters due to our customers’ merchandising and promotional activities around the back-to-school and spring seasons. Concurrently, inventory levels and working capital requirements increase during the first and third fiscal quarters of each fiscal year to support higher levels of net sales in the subsequent quarters. We anticipate that this seasonal impact on our net sales and working capital is likely to continue. Accordingly, our results of operations for any particular quarter are not indicative of the results we expect for the full year.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and accounts receivable, as well as cash flows from operations. Our cash balance and working capital increased by $12.4 million and $22.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The increase in working capital includes a $10.9 million increase in inventory. Following unanticipated demand spikes during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to strong back-to-school promotion efficiencies, we have significantly increased inventory levels to ensure our ability to meet peak demand in the fourth quarter, our largest sales quarter. Despite this investment in inventory levels, we generated $4.2 million cash from our operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Working capital as of December 31, 2012 included a decrease in accounts receivable $1.6 million, a decrease in inventory $0.6 million and an increase in accrued liabilities $0.1 million, as a result of the provisions for product returns and costs associated with the product recall. We expect inventory levels to decrease in the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2013.
Additionally, we have a credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for revolving loans and letters of credit up to $20.0 million and is available to us through August 2014. We believe that our cash and accounts receivable and potential cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We have historically generated cash from our operations, however, there can be no assurance that our operations will continue to generate cash flows in the future. We use cash generated from our operations to fund our ongoing operations including business expansion and growth.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities.
Operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2013 provided $4.2$3.1 million of cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to our net income of $7.3$2.0 million, which included non-cash charges totaling $0.9 million, primarily comprised of $0.7$0.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.7$0.3 million for stock-based compensation and $0.2 million for increased inventory reserves.

This increase in cash was offset by the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $7.5$4.2 million. During three months ended December 31, 2012, we significantly increased inventory levels to ensure our ability to meet peak demand in the fourth quarter, our largest sales quarter. The increase in accrued expenses was driven by the purchases of inventory, which had been received as of December 31, 2012 but not yet invoiced. The increase in accounts payable was related to timing of invoices received and check runs in relation to the quarter end, which can vary from year to year.
Operating activities used $0.8 million of cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to our net income of $7.7 million, which included net non-cash charges of $0.7 million. Changes in operating asset and liability accounts used $9.2 million of net cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities.
Cash used in investing activities related to purchases of property and equipment during the ninethree months ended December 31,June 30, 2013 and 2012 and 2011 was $1.5$0.3 million and $1.5$0.7 million, respectively, primarily related to investments made in our new enterprise resource planning system and manufacturing equipment to support our cost efficiency projects during the periods presented.respectively.

excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $7.5$4.2 million;
proceeds of $3.8$1.8 million received from exercises of stock options; and
net pay down of the outstanding balance of $12.8 million of our credit facility.

Credit Facility
In December 2011, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for revolving loans and letters of credit up to $20.0 million and is available to us through August 2014. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets.
Revolving advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR plus 1.50%, as defined. Weighted average interest was 1.5% for each of the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012. Weighted average interest was 1.6% and 2.3% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there was $20.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of availability for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. An unused line fee of 0.0625% per quarter is applied to the available balance unless our outstanding borrowing exceeds half of the borrowing limit. Interest is payable monthly.
There are various financial and other covenants under the Credit Agreement. Financial covenants, as defined in the Credit Agreement, include a net income covenant, total liabilities to tangible net worth covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage covenant. The Credit Agreement requires us to submit interim and annual financial statements by specified dates after each reporting period. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Out-of-period Adjustment
During the first nine months of the prior fiscal year, we corrected an error in our measurement of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The correction increased the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability by $0.9 million and decreased additional paid-in capital by $0.4 million with a corresponding increase in expense of $0.5 million, which was recorded in other income (expense), net in the statement of operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The correction was an accumulation of an error that should have been recorded in prior periods and would have increased net loss for fiscal 2009 by $44,000, increased net income by $79,000 for fiscal 2010 and decreased net income by $0.6 million for fiscal 2011. Management had assessed the impact of this error and did not believe that it was material, either individually or in the aggregate, to any prior period financial statements or to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, except for the following:
Product Recall
We establish reserves for product recalls on a product-specific basis when circumstances giving rise to the recall become known. When establishing reserves for a product recall, we consider cost estimates for any fees and incentives to customers for their effort to return the product, freight and destruction charges for returned products, warehouse and inspection fees, repackaging materials, point-of-sale materials and other costs including costs incurred by contract manufacturers. Additionally, we estimate product returns from consumers and customers across distribution channels, utilizing third-party data and other assumptions. These factors are updated and reevaluated each period and the related reserves are adjusted when these factors indicate that the recall reserves are either insufficient to cover or exceed the estimated product recall expenses.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Form 10-K for fiscal 2012,2013, filed with the SEC on June 8, 2012,14, 2013, provides a detailed discussion of the market risks affecting our operations. We believe our exposure to these market risks did not change materially during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012.June 30, 2013.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintainhave established disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assuranceensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in ourthe reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act reportsof 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer,principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.disclosure.
Our management, including our disclosure committee, Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer,principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this review, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as required by(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of the Exchange Act. Based on this review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures1934) were effective as of December 31, 2012.June 30, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There werewas no changeschange in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act) that haveoccurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
From time to time, we are subject to a variety of legal proceedingsclaims and assessments in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedinglitigation matters that, individually or in the aggregate, isare expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The following risk factor hasThere have been added to address our voluntary product recall and is a supplement tono material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal 2012 filed with the SEC on June 8, 2012.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our voluntary recall of certified organic and made with organic pizza products has affected our third quarter financial results and will continue to impact our financial results in future quarters.
On January 22, 2013, we initiated a voluntary recall of our certified organic and made with organic pizza products due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty screen at a third-party flour mill. We have accounted for the voluntary recall primarily as a reduction to net sales to account for customer and consumer returns and an increase in cost of sales to account for the destruction of finished goods and raw materials inventory. In addition, we will record administrative costs associated with the management of the recall, including fees and incentives to customers and legal expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter endingyear ended March 31, 2013. Certain of these accounting charges are based on our best estimates and may be subject to change as we move forward in completing the voluntary recall. We will also incur some additional costs in future quarters. While we expect to recover a substantial portion of the charges for costs related to the voluntary recall in future quarters through our existing recall insurance and from the third-party supplier, we cannot guarantee that the amounts we recover will cover all costs associated with the voluntary recall. While we have restarted the production and began shipping replacement product into distributors and retailers as of February 11, 2013 in order to replenish retail shelves and inventories, we anticipate that pizza sales will be reduced in the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2013, as compared to our original expectations for the product line. Additionally, we may find it challenging to re-establish strong growth in pizza product sales for a period of time following the voluntary recall. Further, while there have been no illnesses or injuries reported to date, the occurrence of any illnesses or injuries could have serious consequences on pizza product sales and sales of our other products, our brand and reputation, any of which could harm our business.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the third quarter ended December 31, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 201,350 shares and 6,198 shares of our common stock to certain employees and officers upon the exercise of options awarded under our 2004 Plan and non-plan based awards, respectively, and since January 1, 2013 through January 31, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 3,344 and 6,198 shares, respectively, of our common stock to employees upon the exercises of options awarded under our 2004 Plan and non-plan based awards. We received aggregate proceeds of $1.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $85,000 in the period since January 1, 2013 through January 31, 2013 as a result of the exercise of these options. We believe these transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 thereunder as transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. As of January 31, 2013, options to purchase an aggregate of 725,726 shares and 148,726 shares of our common stock remain outstanding under the 2004 Plan and non-plan based awards, respectively. All option awards granted under the 2004 Plan and non-plan based awards were made prior to the effectiveness of our IPO. No further option grants will be made under our 2004 Plan.
None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering.
