ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. ("Interiors") is a Delaware corporation incorporated on May 25, 1989. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interiors, its wholly owned subsidiary Ethan Allen Global, Inc. ("Global"), and Global’s subsidiaries (collectively "We", "Us", "Our", "Ethan Allen", or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. All of Global’s capital stock is owned by Interiors, which has no assets or operating results other than those associated with its investment in Global.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas in which significant estimates have been made include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, tax valuation allowances, useful lives for property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of a business entity which began operating a new Ethan Allen design center in Florida in fiscal 2012. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this entity because we are a majority shareholder and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance. Noncontrolling interest amounts in the entity, which are immaterial, are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within interest and other miscellaneous income, net.
(2) Interim Financial Presentation
In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
(3) Income Taxes
The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. The Company identifies items which are not normal and are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state, and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the taxing authorities in such major jurisdictions as the U.S, Canada, Mexico and Honduras. As of September 30, 2012, the Company and certain subsidiaries are currently under audit from 2006 through 2010 in the U.S. While the amount of uncertain tax benefits with respect to the entities and years under audit may change within the next twelve months, it is not anticipated that any of the changes will be significant. It is reasonably possible that some of these audits may be completed during the next twelve months. It is reasonable to expect that various issues relating to uncertain tax benefits will be resolved within the next twelve months as exams are completed or as statutes expire and will impact the effective tax rate.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As a result of losses we sustained for fiscal 2010 and 2009, which were brought on by the severe economic factors which began in fiscal 2009, we recorded a $34.1 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, with a non-cash charge to earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, our operations had returned to a position of cumulative pre-tax operating profits for the most recent 36 month period, we had eight consecutive quarters of pre-tax operating profits, our written business and backlog had grown significantly, and our business plan projected continued profitability. The preponderance of this positive evidence provides support that our future tax benefits more likely than not will be realized. Accordingly, at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we released all of United States federal, most of the state, and all of the Canadian valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. We recorded a tax benefit of $21.6 million for the reversal of the valuation allowance against those assets, with a non-cash benefit to earnings in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
We retained a valuation allowance against various state and local deferred tax assets in our retail segment. At September 30, 2012 this valuation allowance was approximately $2.4 million.
The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 36.4% and 40.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances. The prior period effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
(4) Restricted Cash and Investments
At both September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we held $15.4 million of restricted cash and investments in lieu of providing letters of credit for the benefit of the provider of our workmen’s compensation and other insurance and for the benefit of the issuer of our private label credit card. These funds can be invested in high quality money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agency fixed income instruments, and cannot be withdrawn without the prior written consent of the secured party. These assets are carried at cost, which approximates market value and are classified as long-term assets because they are not expected to be used within one year to fund operations. See also Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements".
(5) Marketable Securities
At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company held marketable securities of $10.7 million and $9.0 million respectively, classified as current assets, consisting of U.S. municipal and corporate bonds with maturities ranging from less than one year to less than two years, which were rated A/A2 or better by the rating services Standard & Poors (“S&P”) and Moodys Investors Service (“Moodys”) respectively. There have been no material realized or unrealized gains or losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. We do not believe there are any impairments considered to be other than temporary at September 30, 2012. Also see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements"
(6) Inventories
Inventories at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2012 |  |  | June 30, 2012 |
Finished goods |  | $ | 125,761 |  |  | $ | 119,978 |

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Inventories are presented net of a related valuation allowance of $3.0 million at September 30, 2012 and $2.7 million at June 30, 2012.
(7) Borrowings
Total debt obligations at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consist of the following (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2012 |  |  | June 30, 2012 |
5.375% Senior Notes due 2015 |  | $ | 153,016 |  |  | $ | 152,986 |
Capital leases and other |  |  | 1,453 |  |  |  | 1,514 |
Total debt |  |  | 154,469 |  |  |  | 154,500 |
Less current maturities |  |  | 253 |  |  |  | 250 |
Total long-term debt |  | $ | 154,216 |  |  | $ | 154,250 |

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. During the full fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company reduced its Senior Notes by an aggregate face value of $46.6 million through unsolicited purchases.
We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). We have not had any revolving loans under the Facility at any time. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, there were $0.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the Facility totaled $49.4 million at September 30, 2012 and at June 30, 2012 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.
At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.
(8) Litigation
Environmental Matters
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws, we and/or our subsidiaries are, or may be, required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain hazardous materials. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we believe that the Company was adequately reserved. We believe our currently anticipated capital expenditures for environmental control facility matters are not material.
We are subject to other federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations and are involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings regarding environmental matters. Such investigations and proceedings typically concern air emissions, water discharges, and/or management of solid and hazardous wastes. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Regulations issued under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required the industry to reformulate certain furniture finishes or institute process changes to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds. Compliance with many of these requirements has been facilitated through the introduction of high solids coating technology and alternative formulations. In addition, we have instituted a variety of technical and procedural controls, including reformulation of finishing materials to reduce toxicity, implementation of high velocity low pressure spray systems, development of storm water protection plans and controls, and further development of related inspection/audit teams, all of which have served to reduce emissions per unit of production. We remain committed to implementing new waste minimization programs and/or enhancing existing programs with the objective of (i) reducing the total volume of waste, (ii) limiting the liability associated with waste disposal, and (iii) continuously improving environmental and job safety programs on the factory floor which serve to minimize emissions and safety risks for employees. We will continue to evaluate the most appropriate, cost effective, control technologies for finishing operations and design production methods to reduce the use of hazardous materials in the manufacturing process.
(9) Share-Based Compensation
On July 31, 2012, the Company awarded options to purchase 57,582 shares of our common stock at the closing stock price on the grant date, with a fair value per share of $9.05 and vesting periods ranging from three to four years. Also during the quarter, options covering 611,754 shares of common stock were cancelled, primarily due to expiration of their 10 year term. At September 30, 2012, there are 1,060,436 shares of common stock available for future issuance pursuant to the 1992 Stock Option Plan.
(10) Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the following weighted average share data (in thousands):

|  | Three months ended September 30, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic calculation |  |  | 28,836 |  |  |  | 28,760 |
Effect of dilutive stock options and other share-based awards |  |  | 305 |  |  |  | 191 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding adjusted for dilution calculation |  |  | 29,141 |  |  |  | 28,951 |

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, stock options to purchase 1,089,382 and 1,883,018 common shares, respectively, were excluded from the respective diluted earnings per share calculation because their impact was anti-dilutive.
(11) Comprehensive Income
Our accumulated other comprehensive income, which is comprised of losses on certain derivative instruments, accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gain and loss on investments, totaled $1.3 million at September 30, 2012 and $1.1 million at June 30, 2012. Foreign currency translation adjustments are the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada, Mexico, and Honduras. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Beginning with this fiscal quarter, the company reports comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income. See also Note 14, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements”.

(12) Fair Value Measurements
We determine fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on assumptions that market participants use in pricing the asset or liability, and not on assumptions specific to the Company. In addition, the fair value of liabilities includes consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels, determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

September 30, 2012 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Balance |

Total |  | $ | 89,335 |  |  | $ | 10,670 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 100,005 |

June 30, 2012 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Total |  | $ | 95,137 |  |  | $ | 9,005 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 104,142 |

Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and mutual funds in U.S. government and agency fixed income securities. We use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during fiscal 2013 or fiscal 2012. At both September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, $15.4 million of the cash equivalents were restricted, and classified as a long-term asset.
At September 30, 2012, available-for-sale securities consist of $9.2 million in U.S. municipal bonds and $1.5 million of corporate bonds, and at June 30, 2012, available-for-sale securities consisted of $7.5 million in U.S. municipal bonds and $1.5 million of corporate bonds, all with maturities of less than two years. The bonds are rated A/A2 or better by S&P/Moodys respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, there were no material gross unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.

No investments have been in a continuous loss position for more than one year, and no other-than-temporary impairments were recognized. Also see Note 4, "Restricted Cash and Investments" and Note 5, "Marketable Securities".
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
We measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be impaired. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not record any impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
(13) Segment Information
Our operations are classified into two operating segments: wholesale and retail. These operating segments represent strategic business areas which, although they operate separately and provide their own distinctive services, enable us to more effectively offer our complete line of home furnishings and accessories.
The wholesale segment is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand, which encompasses the design, manufacture, domestic and offshore sourcing, sale and distribution of a full range of home furnishings and accessories to a network of independently operated and Ethan Allen operated design centers as well as related marketing and brand awareness efforts. Wholesale revenue is generated upon the wholesale sale and shipment of our product to all retail design centers, including those operated by Ethan Allen. Wholesale profitability includes (i) the wholesale gross margin, which represents the difference between the wholesale sales price and the cost associated with manufacturing and/or sourcing the related product, and (ii) other operating costs associated with wholesale segment activities.
The retail segment sells home furnishings and accessories to consumers through a network of Company operated design centers. Retail revenue is generated upon the retail sale and delivery of our product to our customers. Retail profitability includes (i) the retail gross margin, which represents the difference between the retail sales price and the cost of goods purchased from the wholesale segment, and (ii) other operating costs associated with retail segment activities.
Inter-segment eliminations result, primarily, from the wholesale sale of inventory to the retail segment, including the related profit margin.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
We evaluate performance of the respective segments based upon revenues and operating income. While the manner in which our home furnishings and accessories are marketed and sold is consistent, the nature of the underlying recorded sales (i.e. wholesale versus retail) and the specific services that each operating segment provides (i.e. wholesale manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution versus retail selling) are different. Within the wholesale segment, we maintain revenue information according to each respective product line (i.e. case goods, upholstery, or home accessories and other). The allocation of retail sales by product line is reasonably similar to that of the wholesale segment. A breakdown of wholesale sales by these product lines for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is provided as follows:

|  | Three months ended September 30, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Case Goods |  |  | 39 | % |  |  | 39 | %
Upholstered Products |  |  | 46 | % |  |  | 45 | %

At September 30, 2012, there were 90 independent retail design centers located outside the United States compared with 78 at September 30, 2011, with the increase occurring in China. Approximately 6.2% of our net sales during the current three months were derived from sales to international retail design centers compared with 6.4% in the prior year.
(14) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This ASU increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and included a single continuous statement.
(15) Financial Information About the Parent, the Issuer and the Guarantors

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) our Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Forward-Looking Statements
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements relating to our future results. Such forward-looking statements are identified by use of forward-looking words such as "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "estimates", "expects", and "intends" or words or phrases of similar expression. These forward-looking statements are subject to management decisions and various assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the potential effects of natural disasters affecting our suppliers or trading partners; the effects of labor strikes; weather conditions that may affect sales; volatility in fuel, utility, transportation and security costs; changes in global or regional political or economic conditions, including changes in governmental and central bank policies; changes in business conditions in the furniture industry, including changes in consumer spending patterns and demand for home furnishings; effects of our brand awareness and marketing programs, including changes in demand for our existing and new products; our ability to locate new design center sites and/or negotiate favorable lease terms for additional design centers or for the expansion of existing design centers; competitive factors, including changes in products or marketing efforts of others; pricing pressures; fluctuations in interest rates and the cost, availability and quality of raw materials; the effects of terrorist attacks or conflicts or wars involving the United States or its allies or trading partners; those matters discussed in Items 1A and 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 and in our SEC filings; and our future decisions. Accordingly, actual circumstances and results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on the accounting policies used. Certain accounting polices require that estimates and assumptions be made by management for use in the preparation of the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that are central to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results and that require subjective or complex estimates by management. There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2012.
Results of Operations
Our net sales and profitability have improved year over year for several consecutive quarters and we have positioned the Company for growth. During fiscal 2012, we substantially completed a major overhaul of our products. In addition, we have invested significantly in (i) getting our messages across, (ii) the strength of our interior design professionals and management in our retail business, (iii) new technologies across key aspects of our vertically integrated business, and (iv) the ramp up of our North American manufacturing capacity where we manufacture approximately 70% of our products. Our competitive advantages arise from providing high quality products of the finest craftsmanship, offering complimentary design service through our 2,000 motivated interior design professionals, giving free local delivery, enhancing our technology in all aspects of the business, and through leveraging our vertically integrated structure. Executing against all of these elements helps us achieve our mission of ‘Luxury Made Affordable’.
Quarter Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 2011
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 1.4% to $187.4 million, from $184.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We attribute the current year growth to (i) continued success of our new and innovative marketing initiatives including promotional pricing and our interactive web site ethanallen.com, (ii) the positive effects of our national television and direct mail media campaigns, (iii) significant new product introductions, which began in fiscal 2012, and (iv) our continued repositioning of the retail network.
19

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
At September 30, 2012, the Company operated 149 of the 302 global network design centers compared with 146 of the 293 at September 30, 2011. Our global network included 73 design centers in China at the end of the current quarter versus 61 at September 30, 2011. Our international net sales were 6.2% and 6.4% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively largely due to sales to our independent retailer in China.
Wholesale revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 4.3% to $111.4 million from $116.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The prior year net sales benefitted from shipments of design center new product floor samples for the first phase of our product overhaul last fiscal year. Orders in the current quarter for our wholesale segment increased by 4.6% compared to the same period last year.
Retail revenue from Ethan Allen-operated design centers for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 5.6% to $149.1 million from $141.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We believe the increase in retail sales by Ethan Allen-operated design centers is due to our promotional marketing campaigns and the design solutions approach of our interior design professionals, continued use of both our national television and direct mail media campaigns, our digital communications to prospective clients, the positive effects of repositioning the retail network, and a net increase of three Ethan Allen-operated design centers between September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012. We ended the current quarter with 149 Ethan Allen-operated design centers.
Comparable design centers are those which have been operating for at least 15 months. Minimal net sales, derived from the delivery of customer ordered product, are generated during the first three months of operations of newly opened (including relocated) design centers. Design centers acquired by us from independent retailers are included in comparable design centers sales in their 13th full month of Ethan Allen-owned operations. Quarter-over-quarter, written business of Ethan Allen-operated design centers increased 9.1% while comparable design centers written business increased 8.2%. The frequency of our promotional events as well as the timing of the end of those events can impact the orders booked during a given quarter.
We have made considerable investment within the retail network to strengthen the level of service, professionalism, interior design competence, efficiency, and effectiveness of the retail design center personnel. We believe that over time, we will continue to benefit from (i) our repositioning of the retail network, (ii) significant new product introductions, (iii) new marketing promotions and our interior design affiliate (IDA) program, (iv) continued use of technology including our state-of-the-art website coupled with personal service from our design professionals, and (v) ongoing use of targeted advertising media.
Gross profit increased 6.5% during the quarter to $104.3 million (55.6% of net sales) from $97.9 million (52.9% of net sales) in the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved gross margin rates across our retail and wholesale businesses due to efficiencies and improved pricing, and a higher mix of our retail net sales to our consolidated net sales (80% in the current quarter versus 76% in the prior year quarter).
Operating expenses increased $2.1 million to $86.3 million from $84.2 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to a $1.6 million loss on the sale of real estate. Remaining increases were largely from higher variable costs in our retail segment.
Operating income and profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $18.0 million, or 9.6% of net sales, an increase of $4.3 million or 31.6% from the prior year quarter’s $13.6 million, or 7.4% of net sales. Wholesale operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $16.0 million, or 14.4% of sales, compared to $15.7 million, or 13.5% of sales, in the prior year comparable quarter. Retail operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.0 million, or 0.7% of sales, compared to a loss of $1.5 million, or a negative 1.1% of sales the prior year. Improvements in operating income were driven primarily by the 1.4% growth in consolidated net sales and higher gross profits as previously discussed.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Interest and other miscellaneous income, net remained consistent with the prior year at $0.1 million.
Interest and other related financing costs amounted to $2.2 million in the current quarter compared to $2.4 million in the prior year comparable quarter. This reduction is due to lower interest expense resulting from reductions in debt outstanding primarily due to our Senior Note repurchases.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $5.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was a 36.4% compared to 40.3% in the prior year quarter. The current quarter effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets. The prior period effective tax rate includes tax expense on the current quarter’s net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $10.1 million compared to $6.8 million in the prior year comparable period. This resulted in net income per diluted share of $0.35 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.23 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2012, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $73.9 million, marketable securities of $10.7 million, and restricted cash and investments of $15.4 million. At June 30, 2012, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $79.7 million, marketable securities of $9.0 million, and restricted cash and investments of $15.4 million. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash flow from operations, amounts available under our credit facility, and other borrowings.
In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. During the full fiscal years 2011 and 2012, the Company reduced its Senior Notes by an aggregate face value of $46.6 through unsolicited purchases.
We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). We have not had any revolving loans under the Facility at any time. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, there were $0.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the Facility totaled $49.4 million at September 30, 2012 and at June 30, 2012 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.
At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.

Operating Activities
In the first three months of fiscal 2013, cash of $6.7 million was generated by operating activities, an increase of $0.4 million from the comparable prior fiscal period. The net increase in cash generated from operating activities was largely due to an increase in net income of $3.3 million, partly offset by a $0.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization. There was an increase in the use of cash for working capital items (defined below) of $4.6 million in the current fiscal year as a result of normal fluctuations due to timing. Other uses of cash increased by $2.1 million during the current period, primarily due to a loss in the current quarter on the sale of a retail property. Working capital items consist of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid and other current assets, customer deposits, payables, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Investing Activities
In the first three months of fiscal 2013, $9.9 million of cash was used in investing activities, which is $9.5 million more than was used during the first three months of fiscal 2012. More cash was used in fiscal 2013 largely due to an increase in capital expenditures in the current period for retail real estate and expansion of our manufacturing capacity in Honduras, as well as an increase in our net purchases of marketable securities. We anticipate that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund future capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
In the first three months of fiscal 2013, $2.6 million was used in financing activities, which is a $2.4 million decrease from cash used in the first three months of fiscal 2012. This decrease was primarily caused by a reduction in both our Senior Note buybacks and our common stock repurchases in the current fiscal year. The Company increased its quarterly cash dividend rate in July 2012 to $0.09 from $0.07 per share. The Company has continuously paid dividends every quarter since 1996 and we expect to continue to do so as economic conditions and liquidity permit.
As of September 30, 2012, our outstanding debt totaled $154.5 million, the current and long-term portions of which amounted to $0.3 and $154.2 million, respectively. This consists of $153.0 million in long-term Senior Notes which mature in September 2015 (fiscal 2016), and $1.5 million in capital leases which mature in April 2017 and February 2018. The aggregate scheduled maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five fiscal years are $0.3 million in each of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, $153.3 million in fiscal 2016, $0.3 million in fiscal 2017 and $0.2 million in fiscal 2018. At June 30, 2012 our outstanding debt totaled $154.5 million, the current and long-term portions of which amounted to less than $0.3 million and $154.2 million respectively.

There has been no material change to the amount or timing of cash payments related to our outstanding contractual obligations as set forth in Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2012.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our other available sources of liquidity, will be adequate to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt, to permit anticipated capital expenditures, and to fund working capital and other cash requirements. As of September 30, 2012, we had working capital of $137.6 million compared to $131.7 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $5.9 million, or 4.5%. The Company had a current ratio of 1.96 to 1 at September 30, 2012 and 1.87 to 1 at June 30, 2012.
In addition to using available cash to fund changes in working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition activity, the repayment of debt, the payment of dividends, and debt repurchases, we have been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time, either directly or through agents, in the open market at prices and on terms satisfactory to us. All of our common stock repurchases and retirements are recorded as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we repurchased and/or retired the following shares of our common stock:

|  | Three months ended September 30, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Common shares repurchased |  |  | - |  |  |  | 52,293 |
Cost to repurchase common shares |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 846,587 |
Average price per share |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 16.19 |

At September 30, 2012, we had a remaining Board authorization to repurchase 1,101,490 shares of our common stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations
We do not utilize or employ any off-balance sheet arrangements, including special-purpose entities, in operating our business. As such, we do not maintain any (i) retained or contingent interests, (ii) derivative instruments (other than as specified below), or (iii) variable interests which could serve as a source of potential risk to our future liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.
We may, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, provide guarantees on behalf of selected affiliated entities or become contractually obligated to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain business agreements. The nature and extent of these guarantees and obligations may vary based on our underlying relationship with the benefiting party and the business purpose for which the guarantee or obligation is being provided. The only such program in place at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 was for our consumer credit program.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Ethan Allen Consumer Credit Program
The terms and conditions of our consumer credit program, which is financed and administered by a third-party financial institution on a non-recourse basis to Ethan Allen, are set forth in an agreement between the Company and that financial service provider (the “Program Agreement”). Any independent retailer choosing to participate in the consumer credit program is required to enter into a separate agreement with that same third-party financial institution which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the retailer is to perform in connection with its offering of consumer credit to its customers (the “Retailer Agreement”). We have obligated ourselves on behalf of any independent retailer choosing to participate in our consumer credit program by agreeing, in the event of default, breach, or failure of the independent retailer to perform under such Retailer Agreement, to take on certain responsibilities of the independent retailer, including, but not limited to, delivery of goods and reimbursement of customer deposits. Customer receivables originated by independent retailers remain non-recourse to Ethan Allen. Our obligation remains in effect for the term of the Program Agreement that expires in July 2014. While the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that we could be required to make under this obligation is indeterminable, recourse provisions exist that would enable us to recover, from the independent retailer, any amount paid or incurred by us related to our performance. Based on the underlying creditworthiness of our independent retailers, including their historical ability to satisfactorily perform in connection with the terms of our consumer credit program, we believe this obligation will expire without requiring funding by us. To ensure funding for delivery of products sold, the terms of this agreement also contain a right for the credit card issuer to demand from the Company collateral of up to $12 million if the Company does not meet certain covenants. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company maintained a restricted cash and investment collateral account of $6 million to satisfy the current collateral requirement.
Product Warranties
Our products, including our case goods, upholstery and home accents, generally carry explicit product warranties that extend from one to ten years and are provided based on terms that are generally accepted in the industry. All of our domestic independent retailers are required to enter into, and perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of, a warranty service agreement. We record provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and make periodic adjustments to those provisions to reflect actual experience. On rare occasions, certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. In certain cases, a material warranty issue may arise which is beyond the scope of our historical experience. We provide for such warranty issues as they become known and are deemed to be both probable and estimable. It is reasonably possible that, from time to time, additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of our historical experience. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, our product warranty liability totaled $0.9 and $0.8 million, respectively.
Business Outlook
The home furnishings industry remains in a slow recovery period following the ’Great Recession’. Unemployment, consumer confidence, and housing related market indicators in the U.S. have shown improvement but major uncertainties remain. Risks of European sovereign debt crises occupy the headlines and economic growth remains a global challenge. Despite these headwinds and the highly competitive conditions in the U.S. home furnishings industry, the Company has performed relatively well. While economic conditions continue to be challenging, we remain cautiously optimistic about our future prospects.
We expect the home furnishings industry to remain extremely competitive with respect to both the sourcing of products and the wholesale and retail sales of those products for the foreseeable future. Domestic manufacturers continue to face pricing pressures because of the lower manufacturing costs in some other countries, particularly within Asia. While we have also turned to overseas sourcing to remain competitive, we choose to differentiate ourselves by maintaining a substantial domestic manufacturing base. We continue to believe that a balanced approach to product sourcing, which includes the domestic manufacture of certain product offerings coupled with the import of other selected products, provides the greatest degree of flexibility and is the most effective approach to ensuring that acceptable levels of quality, service and value are attained.
Our retail strategy involves (i) a continued focus on providing a wide array of product solutions and superior interior design solutions, (ii) the opening of new or relocated design centers in more prominent locations, while encouraging independent retailers to do the same, (iii) leveraging the use of technology and personal service within our retail network, and (iv) further expansion internationally. We believe this strategy provides an opportunity to grow our business.
