VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION
Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 20172018
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotesnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.statements and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 (“Form 10-K”).  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 nine months ended October 31, 2017,2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018.2019. The balance sheet at January 31, 2017,2018, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotesnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 (“Form 10-K”). All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Note 2. Seasonality
The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has generally relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are educational institutions and government institutions,entities, which tend to pay accounts receivable more slowlyslower than commercial customers.
The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs and stocking inventory.
Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

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) and has modified the standard thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method to apply this guidance to all open contracts at the date of initial application.  The results of applying Topic 606 were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems.

The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Contractual Arrangements with Customers

The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders.  Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board (FOB) destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may


include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.

The Company generates revenue primarily by manufacturing and distributing products through resellers and direct-to-customers. Control transfers to both resellers and direct customers at a point in time when the delivery process is complete as determined by the corresponding shipping terms. Therefore, we do not consider them to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.

For product produced by and sourced from third parties, management has determined that it is the principal in all cases, since it (i) bears primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to the customer; (ii) bears inventory risk before and/or after the good or service is transferred to the customer; and (iii) has discretion in establishing the price for the sale of good or service to the customer.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Payment terms are established on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit quality. Most customers obtain payment terms between 1-30 days and an asset is recognized for the related accounts receivable.

Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing of when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs. As of October 31, 2018, other than accounts receivable, the Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred.

Practical Expedients & Optional Exemptions

Significant Financing Component - as we expect the period between when we transfer control of the promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient for significant financing components.

Remaining Performance Obligations - due to the short-term duration of the Company’s contracts with customers and fulfillment of performance obligations, the Company has elected not to disclose the information regarding the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

Cost to Obtain a Customer - we pay certain costs to obtain a customer contract such as commissions. As our customer contracts have a contractual term of one year or less, we have elected to apply the practical expedient and expense these costs in selling, general and administrative expense as incurred, which is consistent with our historical practice.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balanceon balance sheet via a right of useright-of-use asset and lease liability. Changes to the lessee accounting model may change key balance sheet measures and ratios, potentially effecting analyst expectations and compliance with financial covenants. The new standard becomes effective for the Company effective forCompany’s fiscal yearsyear beginning after December 15, 2018 but may be adopted at any time, and requiresrequired a modified retrospective transition. The Company is currentlytransition approach. However, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, allowing entities the ability to elect not


to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to Topic 842, as was previously required under the modified retrospective transition approach. While still evaluating the effect, the standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.disclosures, the Company has determined that the primary impact will be to recognize on the balance sheet all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months and that we will elect not to recast the comparative periods presented as allowed under ASU No. 2018-11. It is expected that this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in recognizing the right-of-use asset and related lease liability.

In August 2016,2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, to improve the effectiveness of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard provides classification guidance on eight cash flow issues including debt prepayment, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds fromdisclosures in the settlements of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees. The new standard becomesnotes to financial statements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective for the Companyfinancial statements issued for fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2017. The Company anticipates the standard will have an immaterial effect on consolidated statements of cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the presentation of net periodic pension cost in the income statement. This guidance requires that the service cost component of net periodic pension cost is presented in the same line as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the respective employees during the period. The other components of net periodic pension cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component2020, and outside of earnings from operations. This guidance also allows for the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and requires retrospective adoption for the presentation of the service cost component and other components


of net periodic pension cost in the income statement and prospective adoption for capitalization of the service cost component. Earlyearly adoption is permitted at the beginning of a fiscal year. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and it had no effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is intended to simplify accounting for share based employment awards to employees. Changes include: all excess tax benefits/deficiencies should be recognized as income tax expense/benefit; entities can make elections on how to account for forfeitures; and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the cash flow statement. The Company implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The primary impact of implementation was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Upon adoption, the balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits of approximately $172,000 was reversed with the impact recorded to retained earnings. Prior to the adoption of this standard, that amount would have been recognized as an adjustment to "Additional paid-in capital" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Excess tax benefits will be recorded in the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a prospective basis. Prior to fiscal 2018, the tax benefits or shortfalls were recorded in financing cash flows. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares in the financing section had no impact to any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity.

In July 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and requires prospective adoption with early adoption permitted. The Company adoptedis currently assessing the impact of this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and it had no effectupdate on its notes to financial statements.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the condensedCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.statements.

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), and has modified the standard thereafter. The core principal of the standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The new revenue standard will be effective for the Company on February 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either a full retrospective method, where the standard is applied to each prior reporting period presented or a cumulative effect transition method, or modified retrospective method, where the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized at the date of initial application. We anticipate using the modified retrospective method and we are currently evaluating the effect the new revenue standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Inventories
Inventory isInventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and includes material, labor and factory overhead. The Company maintains allowances for estimated slow-moving and obsolete inventory to reflect the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated marketnet realizable value. Allowances for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are determined through a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving product and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional allowances may be required. Due to reductions in sales volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

In connection with amendment No. 17, the Borrowers also agreed to pay to PNC Bank a non-refundable extension fee of $250,000. For the quarter ended October 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.

The Credit Agreement provides the Company ("Borrowers") with a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $60,000,000, with seasonal adjustments to the credit limit and subject to borrowing base limitations and includes a sub-limit of up to $3,000,000 for issuances of letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides an equipment line for purchases of equipment up to $2,500,000. The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based line of credit that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus an amount ranging from $8,000,000 to $14,000,000 from December 22, 2019 and has a maximum availability1 through July 31 of $49,500,000, plus sub-lines foreach year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and a $2,500,000 line for equipment financing.

Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers' option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% to 1.50% or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 0.50% to 1.50% and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.50% to 2.50%. in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrowers at the end of each fiscal quarter and may be increased at PNC's option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans. The interest rate at October 31, 20172018 was 4.75%6.25%. Approximately $12,009,000 was available for borrowing as of October 31, 2017.
The

On April 4, 2016,Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Company entered into Amendment No. 12Revolving Credit Facility, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased the borrowing availability for the period from June 1, 2016 through August 15, 2016contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and modified the clean down provision to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 from a period of 60 consecutive days to 30 consecutive days. On October 26, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 13 to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, reduced the maximum availability of $49,750,000 to $49,500,000 to allow for a sub-line for the company's credit card program. On March 13, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 14 to the Credit Agreement which established a $2,500,000 equipment line to facilitate the capital expenditure plan for 2018 and to establish covenants for 2018.

The Company has been operating a component fabrication operation in this building since 1998 under a series of 10 year leases. The current lease would have expired in March 2018. Upon purchase of the building, annual depreciation expense for the building is anticipated to be approximately $300,000 per year less than current rent expense.

Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2017 and 2016, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions except for the fixed-rate debt issued to finance the purchase of the manufacturing building in Conway Arkansas as described above.2018.

Note 6. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  The Company maintains a partial valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets that the Company does not believe it is more-likely-than-not to realize.

The Company's tax provisionOn December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations

Three Months Ended October 31, 2018

For the three months ended October 31, 2017,2018, the Company earned pre-tax income of $4,035,000 on net sales of $76,809,000 compared to a pre-tax income of $4,228,000 on net sales of $68,794,000 compared to pre-tax income of $6,206,000 on sales of $67,795,000 in the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 20172018 increased by $999,000$8,015,000 or 1.5%11.7%. This increase was primarily due to a modestan increase in price slightly offset bycombined with a small decreaseincrease in volume. The Company began the quarter with a backlog of orders that was approximately $7.5 million greater than the prior year.

As discussed in the Company’s Form 10K, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, there are two significant funding sources that drive the Company’s sales,sales; bond-funded business and business funded from the operating budgets of the schools. The Company experienced robust growth in orders and shipment during the first six months, which is more heavily influenced by bond-funded projects. Orders in the third quarter are typically more dependent on the operating budgets of the schools. Orders for the third quarter were comparable to the prior year, increasingdeclined by less than 1%.approximately $6.5 million. Ending backlog at October 31, 20172018 was $16.9$16.2 million compared to $10.7$16.9 million at the same date last year.

The third quarter results reflected continued increase in seasonality of the Company’s business. School districtsbusiness, with revenue moving from the second to the third quarters due to an increase in many parts oforders received in July that were delivered in the Country have accelerated the beginning of back to school to mid-August, impacting the summer delivery window.third quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 35.6%34.4% for the three months ended October 31, 20172018 compared to 35.9%35.6% in the same period last year, which wasyear.  The deterioration of the margin in the third quarter is attributable to several factors. First was the composition of business in the quarter-growth in resale of our vendor partner products increased in this quarter. The second factor was the relationship between the selling price increases relative to the cost increases incurred.components.  The Company raised selling prices on certain marketing programs at the beginning of this year, but only increased prices modestlyyear.  The increase was targeted to cover cost increases incurred during 2017 and a moderate increase in effort to increase sales volume.2018.  The Company did not raise prices adequately to compensate for all the cost increases subsequently incurred during the quarter.2018 fiscal year.  The primary change in costs related to raw materials (primarily steel)(steel, plastic, and imported components) and employee compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 20172018 increased by $2,018,000$1,967,000 compared to the same period last year but was leveraged to 28.3% of net sales compared to 28.8% of net sales in the same period last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to variable freight and service expenses, driven by the increased portion of business sold with full service.selling expenses. Interest expense increased due to increased levels of borrowing.borrowing and higher interest rates.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2018

For the nine months ended October 31, 2017,2018, the Company earned a pre-tax profitincome of $6,594,000 on net sales of $174,180,000 compared to a pre-tax income of $8,545,000 on net sales of $164,665,000 compared to a pre-tax profit of $10,123,000 on net sales of $149,976,000 in the same period last year. Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 20172018 increased by $14,689,000$9,515,000 compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of growth in both volume and price. The Company began the year with a backlog of orders that was approximately $1.3$3.6 million greater than the prior year. Order rates for the first nine months increased by approximately 13%3.7% compared to the prior year.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined to 36.2%35.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 20172018 compared to 37.4%36.2% in the same period last year. There are three primary reasons for the decrease. First, for the first nine months, nearlymost of the entire increase in sales was from service intensive project type business, which includeincluded larger more complex orders. Bidding on these projects can be intense, and typically include a larger portion of products sourced from third partythird-party manufacturing partners. Margins on product from third partythird-party manufacturing partners typically have a lower margin than product manufactured by Virco. The second factorSecond, was the relationship between the selling price increases relative to the cost increases incurred. The Company raised selling prices on certain marketing programs at the beginning of this year, but increased prices modestly in effort to increase sales volume. The Company did not raise prices adequately to compensate for all the cost increases subsequently incurred during the year. Third, production levels in our factories increased by nearly 10%approximately 1%, but increased compensation costs combined with more complex orders to fill, substantially offsetadversely impacted manufacturing efficiencies from the increased production volume.efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 20172018 increased by approximately $4,853,000$3,000,000 compared to the same period last year and remained relatively consistent at 30.3% of net sales compared to 30.2% of net sales in the same period last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to variable freight, variable service, variable selling and variable compensation expenses driven by the increased sales volume and by the increase in project related business. Interest expense increased due to increased levels of borrowing.borrowing and higher rates.

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 31, 20172018 is not comparable to the prior year. The Company hadyear, primarily due to the reduction in federal income tax rates for 2018 as a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at July 31, 2016. This valuation allowance was substantially reversed in the third quarterresult of the prior year. The third quarterTax Cut and nine months ended October 31, 2017 reflect a normalized income tax rate.Jobs Act passed in December 2017.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
As discussed in the Company's Form 10-K, approximately 50% of the Company's annual sales volume is shipped in June through August. The Company traditionally builds large quantities of inventory during the first and second quarters of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. In addition, the Company finances a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. Accounts receivable increased by $11,205,000 from January 31, 2017 to October 31, 2017. This compares to prior year when accounts receivable grew by $9,003,000 during the same period.

For the first nine months, the Company increased inventory by approximately $688,000$613,000 at October 31, 20172018 compared to January 31, 2017.2018. This compares to a decreasean increase of $2,948,000$688,000 during the same period last year. Inventory at October 31, 20172018 was $4,722,000$6,293,000 more than October 31, 2017 of the prior year in order to support a larger backlogyear. Approximately 50% of orders at October 31, 2017. Thethis increase in accountsis valuation and approximately 50% is quantity. Accounts receivable at October 31, 20172018 compared to the January 31, 2017,2018 increased by $12,896,000 compared to $11,205,000 during the same period in the prior year. The increase in inventory and receivables was financed in part by vendor credit, which naturally increases with increased third quarter business activity, and through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank.

Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 20172018 is slightly$618,000 higher than the same period last year. Borrowingsyear due to increased borrowings and increased rates. Borrowing under the Company's revolving line of credit with PNC Bank at October 31, 20172018 is greater than compared to the borrowings at October 31, 20162017 due to increased inventory and accounts receivable.

Capital spending for the nine months ended October 31, 20172018 was $12,521,000$3,319,000 compared to $3,239,000$12,521,000 for the same period last year. The primary component of the increase wasprior year capital expenditures included the purchase of a manufacturing facility in Conway, AR. The Company had previously occupied the building under a 10-year lease. The increase in capital spending is anticipated to continue for the year as the Company is investing more in factory automation and technology. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank and operating cash flow.

Subsequent to October 31, 2017, the Company entered in to a five-year extension for the manufacturing and distribution facility located in Torrance, CA. The Company has occupied this building under a series of leasesutilizes borrowings from 1994the arrangement with PNC to date.fund seasonal working capital needs and certain capital expenditures.  Compared to prior year net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $2,444,000 from $9,237,000, primarily due to the large decrease in capital expenditures in the current year. 

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures, cash dividends, and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's critical accounting policies are outlined in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017.2018.  There have been no significant changes in the quarter ended October 31, 2017.2018.

Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 2017,2018, the Company or its representatives have made and may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, without limitation, reports to stockholders, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The words or phrases “anticipates,” “expects,” “will continue,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The results contemplated by the Company's forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results, including without limitation, availability of funding for educational institutions, availability and cost of materials, especially steel, availability and cost of labor, demand for the Company's products, competitive conditions affecting selling prices and margins, capital costs and general economic conditions. Such risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 and in this Form 10-Q2018 under the caption "Risk Factors".
The Company's forward-looking statements represent its judgment only on the dates such statements were made. By making any forward-looking statements, the Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
The Company is subject to interest rate risk related to its seasonal borrowings used to finance additional inventory and receivables. Rising interest rates may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and cash flows related to its variable-rate bank borrowings under its credit line with PNC. Accordingly, a 100-basis point upward fluctuation in PNC's base rate would have caused the Company to incur additional interest charges of approximately $85,000 and $261,000 for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2018, respectively. The Company would have benefited from a similar interest savings if the base rate were to have fluctuated downward by a like amount.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer along with its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of October 31, 2017.2018. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer along with the Company's Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of such date were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Company management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer along with its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer along with the Company's Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II — Other Information

Virco Mfg. Corporation

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these actions, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider and evaluate the information in this Quarterly Report and the risk factors set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 20172018 (the “Form 10-K”), which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2017.27, 2018. The risk factors associated with our business have not materially changed compared to the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as noted below.

Approximately 50% of our sales are priced through one contract, under which we are the exclusive supplier of classroom furniture.

The following should be added to this risk factor which is set forth in the Form 10-K: On November 1, 2017, the Company signed a new nationwide contract/price list for a five year period ended December 31, 2022. The Company also received two 2-year renewal options under the new contract.

Comprehensive tax reform bills are currently under consideration by the U.S. Congress, which could have a material effect on us.

The U.S. Congress is considering comprehensive tax reform bills that include significant changes to taxation of business entities. While the House and Senate versions of the tax reform bills differ in certain respects, these changes include, among others, a permanent reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate and a partial limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense. It is unclear whether a tax reform bill will be enacted into law or, if enacted, what form it would take. The impact of any potential tax reform on us is uncertain. However we expect that a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate, if enacted, would impair the value of our deferred tax assets, which stood at $13.8 million at October 31, 2017.10-K.
