NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2012

Note A. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in HNI Corporation's (the "Corporation") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Note B. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and recognizes expense over the employee requisite service period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and July 2, 2011, the Corporation recognized $1.4 million and $3.6 million, and $1.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the HNI Corporation 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan and shares issued under the HNI Corporation 2002 Members' Stock Purchase Plan.

At June 30, 2012, there was $10.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards, which the Corporation expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining service period of 1.4 years.

Note C. Inventories

The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or market with approximately 71% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") costing method.



(In thousands)	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Finished products	$	75,040		$	65,136

Note D. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Shareholders' Equity

The following table summarizes the components of accumulated other comprehensive income and the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as applicable for the six months ended June 30, 2012:



(In thousands)	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment		Unrealized Gains on Marketable Securities		Pension Postretirement Liability			Derivative Financial Instruments			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	5,211	$	143	$	(3,583	)	$	(56	)	$	1,715

Balance at June 30, 2012	$	5,429	$	195	$	(3,422	)	$	(441	)	$	1,761

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation repurchased 264,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $6.2 million. As of June 30, 2012, $129.6 million of the Corporation's Board of Directors' current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation paid dividends to shareholders of $0.47 per share.

Note E. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share data)	June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011		June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011
Numerators:
Numerator for both basic and diluted EPS attributable to HNI Corporation net income	$	7,025	$	4,657	$	6,884	$	2,902
Denominators:
Denominator for basic EPS weighted-average common shares outstanding	45,420		44,745		45,286		44,799
Potentially dilutive shares from stock-based compensation plans	525		922		529		934
Denominator for diluted EPS	45,945		45,667		45,814		45,733
Earnings per share – basic	$	0.15	$	0.10	$	0.15	$	0.06
Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.15	$	0.10	$	0.15	$	0.06

The weighted average common stock equivalents presented above do not include the effect of 1,936,382 and 1,871,937, and 1,783,651 and 1,159,965 of common stock equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note F. Restructuring Reserve and Plant Closures

As a result of the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies, the Corporation has closed, consolidated and realigned a number of its office furniture facilities during the past few years. In connection with these closures, consolidations and realignments, the Corporation recorded $0.4 million and $1.6 million of charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 which included $0.3 million and $1.2 million of current period restructuring costs and $0.1 million and $0.4 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in cost of sales,respectively.

The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during the six months ended June 30, 2012.



(In thousands)	Severance			Facility Exit Costs & Other			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	1,068		$	31		$	1,099
Restructuring charges	(68		)	1,257			1,189
Cash payments	(363		)	(1,283		)	(1,646		)
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	637		$	5		$	642

Note G. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The table below summarizes amortizable definite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which are reflected in the "Other Assets" line item in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Patents	$	18,905	$	18,905
Customer relationships and other	102,825		102,825
Less: accumulated amortization	64,592		61,214
	$	57,138	$	60,516

Aggregate amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 was $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the following five fiscal years is as follows:



(In millions)	2012		2013		2014		2015		2016
Amortization Expense	$	6.7	$	6.3	$	5.7	$	5.4	$	5.2

As events such as potential acquisitions, dispositions or impairments occur in the future, these amounts may change.

The Corporation also owns trademarks and trade names with a net carrying amount of $41.0 million. The trademarks are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since December 31, 2011 are as follows by reporting segment:



(In thousands)	Office Furniture			Hearth Products			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2011
Goodwill	$	134,075		$	166,188		$	300,263
Accumulated impairment losses	(29,359		)	(143		)	(29,502		)
	104,716			166,045			270,761
Goodwill acquired	1,720			—			1,720
Balance as of June 30, 2012
Goodwill	135,795			166,188			301,983
Accumulated impairment losses	(29,359		)	(143		)	(29,502		)
	$	106,436		$	166,045		$	272,481

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators existed during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Corporation estimates the fair value of its reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow method. This method employs assumptions that are market participant based. The increase in the office furniture segment relates to final purchase price allocations for an acquisition completed during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Note H. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design or workmanship. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs and are included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims that are expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows during the periods noted:



	Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012			July 2, 2011
Balance at beginning of period	$	12,910		$	12,930
Accruals for warranties issued during period	6,496			7,649
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties	459			(378		)
Settlements made during the period	(6,982		)	(7,998		)
Balance at end of period	$	12,883		$	12,203

Note I. Postretirement Health Care

The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost included in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for:



	Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011
Service cost	$	225	$	182
Interest cost	360		402
Amortization of transition obligation	254		254
Amortization of (gain)/loss	—		(8		)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	839	$	830

Note J. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 reflect an effective tax rate of 35.7 percent and 37.3 percent, respectively. The 2012 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 37 percent.

Note K. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates and diesel fuel. On the date a derivative is entered into, the Corporation designates the derivative as (i) a fair value hedge, (ii) a cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation or (iv) a risk management instrument not designated for hedge accounting. The Corporation recognizes all derivatives on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Interest Rate Risk

In June 2008, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge, for purposes of managing its benchmark interest rate fluctuation risk. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Corporation paid a fixed rate of interest and received a variable rate of interest equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as determined on the last day of each monthly settlement period on an aggregated notional principal amount of $50 million. The net amount paid or received upon monthly settlements was recorded as an adjustment to interest expense, while the effective change in fair value was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap agreement matured on May 27, 2011.

Diesel Fuel Risk

The Corporation uses independent freight carriers to deliver its products. These carriers charge the Corporation a basic rate per mile that is subject to a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases. The Corporation enters into variable to fixed rate commodity swap agreements with two financial counterparties to manage fluctuations in fuel costs. The Corporation hedges approximately 50% of its diesel fuel surcharge exposure for the next twelve months. The Corporation uses the hedge agreements to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel prices and related fuel surcharges, and not to speculate on the future price of diesel fuel. The hedge agreements are designed to add stability to the Corporation's costs, enabling the Corporation to make pricing decisions and lessen the economic impact of abrupt changes in diesel fuel prices over the term of the contract. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to twelve months. The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such, the net amount paid or received upon monthly settlements is recorded as an adjustment to freight expense, while the effective change in fair value is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2012, $0.4 million of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity ("Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) related to the diesel hedge agreements are expected to be reclassified to current earnings ("Selling and administrative expenses" in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income) over the next twelve months.

The location and fair value of derivative instruments reported in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows (in thousands):



		Asset (Liability) Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011

Diesel fuel swap	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	35			165
		$	(696	)	$	(91	)

Note L. Fair Value Measurements

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities. The marketable securities were comprised of government securities, corporate bonds and money market funds. When available the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges/indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

Assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:



(In thousands)	Fair value as of measurement date			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Government securities	$	16,469		$	—	$	16,469		$	—
Corporate bonds	$	4,052		$	—	$	4,052		$	—
Derivative financial instruments	$	(696	)	$	—	$	(696	)	$	—

Assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2011 were as follows:



(In thousands)	Fair value as of measurement date			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Government securities	$	15,863		$	—	$	15,863		$	—
Corporate bonds	$	3,751		$	—	$	3,751		$	—
Derivative financial instruments	$	(91	)	$	—	$	(91	)	$	—

In addition to the methods and assumptions the Corporation uses to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the section above, it uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents - Level 1

The carrying amount approximated fair value.

Long-term debt (including current portion) - Level 2

The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate, long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the end of the Corporation's 2011 fiscal year, approximated the fair value. The fair value of the Corporation's outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt obligations is estimated based on discounted cash flow method to be $160 million at June 30, 2012 and $160 million at December 31, 2011, compared to the carrying value of $150 million.

Note M. Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit in the amount of $15 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Note N. New Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards issued during the quarter that the Corporation expects to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note O. Business Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as operating in two business segments: office furniture and hearth products with the former being the principal business segment.

The office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal and wood office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of manufactured gas, electric, wood and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings and accessories, principally for the home.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales transfers between segments are not material and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated corporate expenses include the net cost of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income and interest expense. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs rather than a business segment cost. In addition, management applies one effective tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis.

The Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

Reportable segment data reconciled to the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, and July 2, 2011, is as follows:

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

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation is the second largest office furniture manufacturer in the world and the nation's leading manufacturer and marketer of gas- and wood-burning fireplaces. The Corporation utilizes its split and focus, decentralized business model to deliver value to its customers with its various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 11.0 percent to $480.4 million when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was driven by the supplies-driven channel of the office furniture segment and the new construction channel of the hearth products segment. Gross margins for the quarter increased from prior year levels due to higher volume, better price realization and lower material costs offset partially by unfavorable mix, the impact of the Sagus acquisition and higher restructuring and transition costs. Total selling and administrative expenses increased due to volume related expenses, investments in growth initiatives, higher incentive-based compensation and the impact of the Sagus acquisition.

Results of Operations

The following table presents certain key highlights from the results of operations for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011		Percent Change		June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011		Percent Change
Net sales	$	480,400	$	432,810	11.0	%	$	925,612	$	828,961	11.7	%
Cost of sales	315,287		285,880		10.3	%	613,672		547,307		12.1	%
Gross profit	165,113		146,930		12.4	%	311,940		281,654		10.8	%
Selling and administrative expenses	151,455		136,197		11.2	%	295,189		268,610		9.9	%
Restructuring and impairment charges	292		463		(36.9	)%	1,189		1,853		(35.8	)%
Operating income	13,366		10,270		30.1	%	15,562		11,191		39.1	%
Interest expense, net	2,633		2,923		(9.9	)%	5,068		6,379		(20.6	)%
Income (loss) before income taxes	10,733		7,347		46.1	%	10,494		4,812		118.1	%
Income taxes	3,835		2,744		39.8	%	3,749		2,006		86.9	%
Net income (loss)	$	6,898	$	4,603	49.9	%	$	6,745	$	2,806	140.4	%

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased 11.0 percent or $47.6 million compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by the supplies-driven channel of the office furniture segment and the new construction channel of the hearth products segment. The acquisition of Sagus contributed $25.1 million of sales, or 5.8 percent of sales growth to the second quarter of 2012.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2012 increased to 34.4 percent compared to 33.9 percent for the same quarter last year. The increase in gross margin was driven by higher volume, better price realization and lower material costs offset partially by unfavorable mix, the impact of the Sagus acquisition and higher restructuring and transition costs. Second quarter 2012 included $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation and transition costs related to the closure and consolidation of office furniture manufacturing facilities.

Total selling and administrative expenses, including restructuring charges, as a percentage of sales was 31.6 percent for the second quarter of 2012, consistent with the same quarter last year. Benefits from leverage were partially offset by investments in growth initiatives, higher incentive-based compensation and the impact of the Sagus acquisition. Second quarter 2012 included $0.8 million of restructuring and transition charges associated with plant consolidations compared to $0.5 million in the same period in the prior year.

Net income attributable to HNI Corporation was $7.0 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $4.7 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.

For the first six months of 2012, consolidated net sales increased $96.7 million, or 11.7 percent, to $925.6 million compared to $829.0 million for the first six months of 2011. Gross margins decreased to 33.7 percent compared to 34.0 percent for the same period last year. Net income attributable to HNI Corporation was $6.9 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $2.9 million for the first six months of 2011. Earnings per share increased to $0.15 per diluted share compared to $0.06 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Office Furniture

Second quarter 2012 sales for the office furniture segment increased 12.3 percent or $45.9 million to $418.6 million from $372.6 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by the supplies-driven channel as well as sales attributable to the acquisition of Sagus. The acquisition of Sagus contributed $25.1 million of sales, or 6.7 percent of sales growth to the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2012 operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased 23.5 percent or $4.2 million to $22.1 million as a result of better price realization and lower input costs. These were partially offset by unfavorable mix, investments in growth initiatives, higher incentive-based compensation and increased restructuring and transition costs. Second quarter 2012 included $1.1 million of restructuring and transition costs, including accelerated depreciation, compared to $0.5 million of restructuring costs in second quarter 2011.

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 increased 13.3 percent or $93.4 million to $797.2 million compared to $703.8 million for the same period in 2011. The acquisition of Sagus contributed $40.4 million of sales, or 4.9 percent of sales growth. Operating profit for the first six months of 2012 increased 15.3 percent or $4.0 million to $29.9 million compared to $26.0 million for the same period in 2011.

Hearth Products

Second quarter 2012 net sales for the hearth products segment increased 2.8 percent or $1.7 million to $61.8 million from $60.2 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by an increase in the new construction channel partially offset by a decrease in the remodel-retrofit channel. Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.8 million to $0.9 million from a $1.0 million loss in the prior year quarter due to increased volume, higher price realization, cost control initiatives and lower restructuring charges offset partially by increased material costs.

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 increased 2.6 percent or $3.3 million to $128.4 million compared to $125.2 million for the same period in 2011. Operating profit for the first six months of 2012 increased $3.5 million to $2.0 million from a $1.5 million loss for the same period in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow – Operating Activities

Operating activities generated $5.7 million of cash in the first six months of 2012 compared to using $8.4 million in the first six months of 2011. Working capital performance resulted in a $35.2 million use of cash in the first six months of the current fiscal year compared to a $52.2 million use of cash in the same period of the prior year. Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive for the year.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities

Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first six months of fiscal 2012 were $25.1 million compared to $14.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2011 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products and the implementation of new integrated software systems to support business process transformation. For the full year 2012, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $50 to $55 million, primarily focused on new product development and related tooling and the business systems transformation project referred to above.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2012, net borrowings under the revolving credit facility peaked at $80 million. The net borrowings at the end of second quarter were $60 million and are classified as short-term as the Corporation expects to repay the borrowings within a year.

The Credit Agreement governing the Corporation's revolving credit facility contains a number of covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter:


•	a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges;


•	a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters; or


•	a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters following any qualifying debt financed acquisition.

The note purchase agreement pertaining to the Corporation's Senior Notes also contains a number of covenants, including a covenant requiring maintenance of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the note purchase agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the note purchase agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The revolving credit facility is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of common stock and certain working capital needs. Non-compliance with the various financial covenant ratios in the revolving credit facility or the Senior Notes could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and Senior Notes and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.0 to 1.0 included in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation was well below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the Credit Agreement and the note purchase agreement. The Corporation currently expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

On May 8, 2012, the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a 4.3 percent increase in the common stock quarterly cash dividend from $0.23 per share to $0.24 per share. The dividend was paid on June 1, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 18, 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation repurchased 264,000 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $6.2 million, or an average price of $23.34 per share. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $129.6 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, coupled with cash from future operations, borrowing capacity under the existing facility and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods. A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation is involved in various kinds of disputes and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business,

including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that additional liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, there were no material changes in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

New Accounting Standards

For information pertaining to the Corporation's adoption of new accounting standards and any resulting impact to the Corporation's financial statements, please refer to Note N. New Accounting Standards of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Looking Ahead
