HELEN OF TROY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
November 30, 2012
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Conventions Used in this Report
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, and the results of our consolidated operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011. We follow the same accounting policies when preparing quarterly financial data as we use for preparing annual data. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, and our other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
In this report and the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements and notes, unless the context suggests otherwise or otherwise indicated, references to “the Company,” “our Company,” “Helen of Troy,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Helen of Troy Limited and its subsidiaries, and amounts are expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars. We refer to the Company’s common shares, par value $0.10 per share, as “common stock.” References to “Kaz” refer to the operations of Kaz, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to “PUR” refer to the PUR brand of water filtration products that we acquired, along with certain other assets and liabilities, from The Procter & Gamble Company and certain of its affiliates on December 30, 2011. Kaz and PUR comprise a segment within the Company referred to as the Healthcare / Home Environment segment. Product and service names mentioned in this report are used for identification purposes only and may be protected by trademarks, trade names, service marks, and/or other intellectual property rights of the Company and/or other parties in the United States and/or other jurisdictions. The absence of a specific attribution in connection with any such mark does not constitute a waiver of any such right. All trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos referenced herein belong to their owners. References to “the FASB” refer to the Financial Accounting Standards Board. References to “GAAP” refer to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. References to “ASC” refer to the codification of GAAP in the Accounting Standards Codification issued by the FASB.
We are a global designer, developer, importer, marketer, and distributor of an expanding portfolio of brand-name consumer products. We have three segments: Personal Care, Housewares and Healthcare / Home Environment. Our Personal Care segment’s products include electric hair care, beauty care and wellness appliances; grooming tools and accessories; and liquid, solid- and powder-based personal care and grooming products. Our Housewares segment provides a broad range of innovative consumer products for the home. Product offerings include food preparation and storage, cleaning, organization, and baby and toddler care products. The Healthcare / Home Environment segment focuses on health care devices such as thermometers, blood pressure monitors, humidifiers, and heating pads; water filtration systems; and small home appliances such as air purifiers, portable heaters, fans, and bug zappers. All three segments sell their products primarily through mass merchandisers, drugstore chains, warehouse clubs, catalogs, grocery stores, and specialty stores. In addition, the Personal Care segment sells extensively through beauty supply retailers and wholesalers, and the Healthcare / Home Environment segment sells certain of its product lines through medical distributors and other products through home improvement stores. We purchase our products from unaffiliated manufacturers, most of which are located in China, Mexico and the United States.
Our consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior period’s consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that we adopt according to the various timetables the FASB specifies. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.
Note 3 – Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in various legal claims and proceedings in the normal course of operations. We believe the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Notes 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 provide additional information regarding certain of our significant long-term commitments and certain significant contingencies we have provided for in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
Our products are under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from two to five years. We estimate our warranty accrual using historical trends and believe that these trends are the most reliable method by which we can estimate our warranty liability. The following table summarizes the activity in our warranty accrual for the periods covered in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of income:

Note 4 – Earnings per Share
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per share using basic earnings per share plus the effect of dilutive securities. Our securities that can have dilutive effects consist of outstanding options to purchase common stock and contingently issuable unvested restricted share units and awards.
For the periods covered in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of income, the basic and diluted shares are as follows:

We compute operating income for each segment based on net sales revenue, less cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), and any impairment charges associated with the segment. SG&A used to compute each segment’s operating income is directly associated with the segment, plus overhead expenses allocable to the segment. We make allocations of overhead between operating segments using a number of relevant allocation criteria, depending on the nature of the expense, the most significant of which are relative revenues, estimates of relative labor expenditures, headcount, and facilities square footage. In fiscal 2013, we began making certain additional cost allocations to the Healthcare / Home Environment segment that were not made in fiscal 2012. These additional allocations are costs of corporate and operating functions that are shared by our segments. In the past year, we have integrated certain of the segment’s corporate and operating functions into consolidated corporate and shared operating functions. In fiscal 2012, the Healthcare / Home Environment segment did not utilize these corporate and shared operating functions as extensively as in fiscal 2013. For the three- and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2012, the allocation totaled $4.25 and $12.47 million, respectively, compared to $1.51 and $4.52 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. We do not allocate nonoperating income and expense, interest or income taxes to operating segments.

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Annual Impairment Testing in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2013 and 2012 - We performed our annual evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012. As a result, we concluded no impairment charges were required during either period. For both periods, the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademarks and licenses, reporting unit net assets and the Company’s estimated enterprise value exceeded their respective carrying values as of the date of the evaluation.
A summary of the carrying amounts and associated accumulated amortization for all intangible assets by operating segment follows:

Note 9 - Acquisitions
PUR Acquisition - On December 30, 2011, we completed an asset and stock purchase transaction in which we acquired 100 percent of the stock of PUR Water Purification Products, Inc., and certain other assets and liabilities from The Procter & Gamble Company and certain of its affiliates (“P&G”) for a net cash purchase price of $160 million, subject to future adjustments. The acquisition was funded entirely with short-term debt. Significant assets acquired include manufacturing equipment, trademarks, customer lists, distribution rights, patents, and the goodwill of the PUR water filtration business. PUR’s product line includes faucet mount water filtration systems and filters, pitcher systems and filters, and refrigerator filters. We are operating the PUR business in our Healthcare / Home Environment segment and market its products primarily into retail trade channels in the U.S. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the distribution network, marketing synergies and economies of scale that are anticipated from the addition of the new product line.
In connection with this acquisition, we entered into transitional services and supply agreements whereby P&G or one or more of its affiliates will provide certain short-term services for, and supply certain products to the Company in exchange for specified fees. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we finished using certain of these services and acquired the remaining PUR inventory on-hand from P&G. The remaining transitional agreements are supply agreements that we expect to phase out during fiscal 2014.
We accounted for the acquisition as the purchase of a business and recorded the excess purchase price as goodwill. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. We completed our preliminary estimate of the economic lives of all the assets acquired and a preliminary allocation of the initial purchase price. We assigned the acquired trademarks indefinite economic lives and are amortizing the customer list, patents, trademarks and technology license agreements, and covenant not to compete over expected weighted average lives of approximately 15.0, 12.4, 5.2, and 2.0 years, respectively. For the customer list, we used historical attrition rates to assign an expected life. For patent rights, we used the underlying non-renewable term of a royalty-free license we acquired for the use of patented designs in certain PUR products.
The following schedule presents the acquisition date fair value of the net assets of PUR:

We estimated the fair values of the PUR assets acquired by applying income and market approaches. The fair value measurement of the intangible assets is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. Key assumptions included various discount rates based upon a 15.2 percent weighted average cost of capital, a royalty rate of 7.0 percent used to determine the trademark fair value, royalty rates of 0.5 to 1.0 percent used to determine patent estate values, and customer attrition rates of 5.0 percent per year used to determine customer list value.
Note 10 – Debt
Revolving Line of Credit - We have a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., that provides for an unsecured total revolving commitment of up to $250.00 million. The commitment under the Credit Agreement terminates on December 30, 2015. Borrowings accrue interest under one of two alternative methods as described in the Credit Agreement. With each borrowing against our credit line, we can elect the interest rate method based on our funding needs at the time. We also incur loan commitment fees and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. As of November 30, 2012, the outstanding revolving loan principal balance was $143.40 million and there were $0.43 million of open letters of credit outstanding against the Credit Agreement. For the three- and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2012, borrowings under the Credit Agreement incurred interest charges at rates ranging from 1.59 to 4.00 percent during both periods, respectively. As of November 30, 2012, the amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $106.17 million.

(1) Floating interest rates have been hedged with an interest rate swap (the “Swap”) to effectively fix interest rates. Additional information regarding the swap is provided in Note 12 to these consolidated condensed financial statements.
The fair market value of the fixed rate debt at November 30, 2012, computed using a discounted cash flow analysis, was $105.49 million compared to the $100.00 million book value and represents a Level 2 liability. All other long-term debt has floating interest rates, and its book value approximates its fair value at November 30, 2012.
All of our debt is unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Our debt agreements require the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including maximum leverage ratios, minimum interest coverage ratios and minimum consolidated net worth levels (as each of these terms is defined in the various agreements). Our debt agreements also contain other customary covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting or limiting the Company, except under certain conditions set forth therein, from (1) incurring debt, (2) incurring liens on its properties, (3) making certain types of investments, (4) selling certain assets or making other fundamental changes relating to mergers and consolidations, and (5) repurchasing shares of our common stock and paying dividends.
As of November 30, 2012, our debt agreements effectively limited our ability to incur more than $249.12 million of additional debt from all sources, including draws on the Credit Agreement. As of November 30, 2012, we were in compliance with the terms of all of our debt agreements.
