PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Description of Business

Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”) operates indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc. (“CCIP”) and Hamco, Inc., in the infant and toddler products segment within the consumer products industry. The infant and toddler segment consists of infant and toddler bedding, bibs, disposable products, soft goods and accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, internet accounts, wholesale clubs and catalog retailers. The Company’s products are manufactured primarily in Asia and marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods.

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. References herein to “fiscal year 2012” or “2012” and “fiscal year 2011” or “2011” represent the 52- and 53-week periods ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, respectively.

Through April 2007, the Company’s operations included those of an additional subsidiary, Churchill Weavers, Inc. (“Churchill”). On February 2, 2007, the Company announced that it would liquidate Churchill. In accordance with accounting guidelines, in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the real property that continues to be held in Churchill, which has no other material assets, is classified as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and the operations of Churchill are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Products

The Company's primary focus is on infant, toddler and juvenile products, including crib and toddler bedding; blankets; nursery accessories; room décor; nap mats; disposable and reusable bibs and floor mats; burp cloths; bathing accessories; disposable placemats, cup labels, toilet seat covers and changing mats; diaper bags; pet beds and blankets; and other infant, toddler, juvenile and pet soft goods.

Sales and Marketing

The Company’s products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of salaried sales executives and employees located in Compton, California; Gonzales, Louisiana; and Rogers, Arkansas. Products are also marketed by independent commissioned sales representatives located throughout the United States. Sales outside the United States are made primarily through distributors.

Substantially all products are sold to retailers for resale to consumers. The Company's subsidiaries introduce new products throughout the year and participate at the ABC Kids Expo, the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show, the SuperZoo Expo, the Global Pet Expo and the General Merchandising and Health Beauty Wellness Conferences presented by the Global Market Development Center.

Product Sourcing

The Company's products are produced by foreign and domestic manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company makes sourcing decisions on the basis of quality, timeliness of delivery and price, including the impact of ocean freight and duties. The Company’s management and quality assurance personnel visit the third-party facilities regularly to monitor and audit product quality and to ensure compliance with labor requirements and social and environmental standards. In addition, the Company closely monitors the currency exchange rate. The impact of future fluctuations in the exchange rate or changes in safeguards cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

The Company maintains a foreign representative office located in Shanghai, China, which is responsible for the coordination of production, purchases and shipments, seeking out new vendors and overseeing inspections for social compliance and quality.

The Company’s products are warehoused and distributed from facilities located in Los Angeles County, California.

Product Design and Styling

The Company believes that its creative team is one of its key strengths. Product design ideas are drawn from various sources and are reviewed and modified by the design staff to ensure consistency within the Company’s existing product offerings and the themes and images associated with such existing products. In order to respond effectively to changing consumer preferences, the Company’s designers and stylists attempt to stay abreast of emerging lifestyle trends in color, fashion and design. When designing products under the Company’s various licensed brands, the Company’s designers coordinate their efforts with the licensors’ design teams to provide for a more fluid design approval process and to effectively incorporate the image of the licensed brand into the product. The Company’s product designs are both created internally and obtained from numerous additional sources, including independent artists, decorative fabric manufacturers and apparel designers. The Company’s designs include traditional, contemporary, textured and whimsical patterns across a broad spectrum of retail price points. Utilizing state of the art computer technology, the Company continually develops new designs throughout the year for all of its product groups. This continual development cycle affords the Company design flexibility, multiple opportunities to present new products to customers and the ability to provide timely responses to customer demands and changing market trends. The Company also creates designs for exclusive sale by certain of its customers under the Company’s brands, as well as the customers’ private label brands.

Order Backlog

Management estimates the backlog of customer orders was $2.6 million and $5.5 million at June 1, 2012 and June 1, 2011, respectively. Historically the majority of these unfilled orders are shipped within approximately four weeks. There is no assurance that the backlog at any point in time will translate into sales in any particular subsequent period. Due to the prevalence of quick-ship programs adopted by its customers, the Company does not believe that its backlog is a meaningful or material indicator of future business.

Employees

At June 1, 2012, the Company had 153 employees, none of whom is represented by a labor union or is otherwise a party to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company attracts and maintains qualified personnel by paying competitive salaries and benefits and offering opportunities for advancement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Customers

The Company's customers consist principally of mass merchants, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, internet accounts, wholesale clubs and catalog retailers. The Company does not generally enter into long-term or other purchase agreements with its customers. The table below sets forth those customers that represented at least 10% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal years 2012 and 2011.

	Fiscal Year
	2012			2011

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.		34	%		38	%
Toys R Us		22	%		22	%
Target Corporation		12	%		11	%

Competition

The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers (both branded and private label), including large infant and juvenile product companies and specialty infant and juvenile product manufacturers, on the basis of quality, design, price, brand name recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.

Raw Materials

The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of the Company’s product offerings are as follows:

Product Group	Principal Raw Materials
Comforters, sheets and related accessories	Printed, woven and solid color cotton and poly-cotton and polyester fabrics, with polyester fibers used as filling materials

Reusable bibs	Cotton/polyester knit terry, cotton woven terry and water-resistant fabrications

Blankets	Printed and solid knitted polyester fibers and cotton

Disposable placemats and floor mats	Polyethylene (PE)

Disposable bibs, toilet seat covers and changing mats	Cellulose and non-woven paper

Reusable floor mats	Polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA)

Although the Company normally maintains relationships with a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes that these raw materials are readily available from several alternative sources in quantities sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.

The Company uses significant quantities of cotton, either in the form of cotton or cotton-blended fabrics. Cotton is subject to ongoing price fluctuations because it is an agricultural product impacted by changing weather patterns, disease and supply and demand considerations, both domestically and internationally. In addition, the price of oil affects key components of the raw material prices in our products (e.g., 100% polyester fill, polyester fabrics, PE, PEVA and packaging). Significant increases in the prices of cotton and oil could adversely affect the Company's operations.

Seasonality and Inventory Management

In each of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company’s sales were lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter, although there has been some variation in the seasonal demand for the Company’s products from year to year. Sales are generally higher in periods when customers take initial shipments of new products, as these orders typically include enough products for initial sets for each store and additional quantities for the customer’s distribution centers. The timing of these initial shipments varies by customer and depends on when the customer finalizes store layouts for the upcoming year and whether the customer has any mid-year introductions of products. Sales may also be higher or lower, as the case may be, in periods when customers are opening new stores or closing existing stores. Consistent with the expected introduction of specific product offerings, the Company carries necessary levels of inventory to meet the anticipated delivery requirements of its customers. Customer returns of merchandise shipped are historically less than 1% of gross sales.

Government Regulation and Environmental Control

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which regulate, among other things, product safety and the discharge, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances and wastes, and to laws and regulations relating to employee safety and health, principally the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act and regulations thereunder. The Company believes that it currently complies in all material respects with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and that future compliance with such existing laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, there is no assurance that such requirements will not become more stringent in the future or that the Company will not have to incur significant costs to comply with such requirements.

International Sales

Sales to customers in countries other than the United States represented 2% of the Company’s gross sales in each of fiscal years 2012 and 2011. International sales are based upon the location that predominately represents the final destination of the products delivered to the Company’s customers.

Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents

The Company considers its intellectual property to be of material importance to its business. Sales of products marketed under the Company’s trademarks, primarily NoJo®, accounted for 26% and 23% of the Company’s total gross sales during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Protection for these trademarks is obtained through domestic and foreign registrations. The Company also markets designs which are subject to copyrights and design patents owned by the Company.

Licensed Products

Certain products are manufactured and sold pursuant to licensing agreements for trademarks. Also, many of the designs used by the Company are copyrighted by other parties, including trademark licensors, and are available to the Company through copyright license agreements. The licensing agreements are generally for an initial term of one to three years and may or may not be subject to renewal or extension. Sales of licensed products represented 51% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2012, which included 38% of sales under the Company's license agreements with affiliated companies of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”). The table below sets forth the Company’s license agreements with Disney as of June 1, 2012.

License Agreement	Expiration

Infant Bedding and Décor	December 31, 2012
International Distribution	March 31, 2013
Toddler Bedding	December 31, 2013
Disposable Products	December 31, 2013

The Company's commitment for minimum guaranteed royalty payments under its license agreements as of April 1, 2012 was $5.0 million, consisting of $2.1 million, $2.9 million and $32,000 due in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Company believes that its future sales of licensed products will exceed the amounts required to satisfy the minimum royalty guarantees. The Company's total royalty expense was $6.9 million and $7.3 million for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors as well as the other information contained in this report and other filings made by the Company with the SEC should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, operating results may be affected in future periods.

The loss of one or more of the Company’s key customers could result in a material loss of revenues.

The Company’s top three customers represented approximately 68% of gross sales in fiscal year 2012. Although the Company does not enter into contracts with its key customers, it expects them to continue to be a significant portion of its gross sales in the future. The loss of one or more of these customers could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenue and operating income.

The Company’s business is impacted by general economic conditions and related uncertainties affecting markets in which the Company operates.

Economic conditions, including the availability of credit and the possibility of a global recession, could adversely impact the Company’s business. These conditions could result in reduced demand for some of the Company’s products, increased order cancellations and returns, an increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories and increased pressure on the prices of the Company’s products. Also, although the Company’s use of a commercial factor significantly reduces the risk associated with collecting accounts receivable, the factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer, and the likelihood of the factor doing so may increase due to a change in economic conditions. Such an action by the factor could result in the loss of future sales to the affected customer.

The loss of one or more of the Company’s licenses could result in a material loss of revenues.

Sales of licensed products represented 51% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2012, which included 38% of sales associated with the Company’s license agreements with Disney. The Company could experience a material loss of revenues if it is unable to renew its major license agreements or obtain new licenses.

The Company’s inability to anticipate and respond to consumers’ tastes and preferences could adversely affect the Company’s revenues.

Sales are driven by consumer demand for the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that the demand for the Company’s products will not decline or that the Company will be able to anticipate and respond to changes in demand. The Company’s failure to adapt to these changes could lead to lower sales and excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Customer pricing pressures could result in lower selling prices, which could negatively affect the Company’s operating results.

The Company’s customers could place pressure on the Company to reduce the prices of its products. The Company continuously strives to stay ahead of its competition in sourcing, which allows the Company to obtain lower cost products while maintaining high standards for quality. There can be no assurance that the Company could respond to a decrease in sales prices by proportionately reducing its costs, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

The strength of the Company’s competitors may impact the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its sales, which could decrease the Company’s revenues.

The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers, both branded and private label. The Company’s ability to compete successfully depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names. Several of these competitors are larger than the Company and have greater financial resources than the Company. Increased competition could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenues.

Economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s raw material prices.

The Company uses significant quantities of cotton, either in the form of cotton fabric or cotton/polyester fabric. Cotton is subject to ongoing price fluctuations because it is an agricultural product impacted by changing weather patterns, disease and other factors, such as supply and demand considerations, both domestically and internationally. In addition, increased oil prices affect key components of the raw material prices in our products. Significant increases in the prices of cotton and oil could adversely affect the raw material prices in our products (e.g., 100% polyester fill, polyester fabrics, PE, PEVA and packaging). If the Company is unable to pass these cost increases along to its customers, its profitability could be adversely affected.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations and other supplier-related risks could increase the Company’s expenses.

The Company’s products are manufactured by foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. Difficulties encountered by these suppliers, such as fire, accident, natural disasters, outbreaks of contagious diseases or economic and political instability could halt or disrupt production of the Company’s products. Also, the prices paid by the Company to these suppliers could increase if raw materials, labor or other costs increase. In addition, restrictive actions by foreign governments, a strengthening of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. dollar or changes in import duties or import or export restrictions could increase the prices at which the Company purchases finished goods. If the Company is unable to pass these cost increases along to its customers, its profitability could be adversely affected.

Changes in international trade regulations and other risks associated with foreign trade could adversely affect the Company’s sourcing.

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The adoption of regulations related to the importation of product, including quotas, duties, taxes and other charges or restrictions on imported goods, and changes in U.S. customs procedures could result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s products. Delays in customs clearance of goods or the disruption of international transportation lines used by the Company could result in the Company being unable to deliver goods to customers in a timely manner or the potential loss of sales altogether.

The Company’s sourcing and marketing operations in foreign countries are subject to anti-corruption laws.

The Company’s foreign operations are subject to laws prohibiting improper payments and bribery, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions, which apply to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Company. Failure to comply with these laws could result in damage to the Company’s reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business, increased legal and investigative costs, and civil and criminal penalties, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Recalls or product liability claims could increase costs or reduce sales.

The Company must comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which imposes strict standards to protect children from potentially harmful products and which requires that the Company’s products be tested to ensure that they are within acceptable levels for lead and phthalates. The Company must also comply with related regulations developed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and similar state regulatory authorities. The Company’s products could be subject to involuntary recalls and other actions by these authorities, and concerns about product safety may lead the Company to voluntarily recall, accept returns or discontinue the sale of select products. Product liability claims could exceed or fall outside the scope of the Company’s insurance coverage. Recalls or product liability claims could result in decreased consumer demand for the Company’s products, damage to the Company’s reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business, and increased customer service and support costs, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

The Company’s ability to comply with its credit facility is subject to future performance and other factors.

The Company’s ability to make required payments of principal and interest on its debts, to refinance its maturing indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Company’s credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company’s lender could make an immediate demand of the amount outstanding. If a default was to occur and such a demand was to be made, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assets would be sufficient to repay the indebtedness in full.

The Company’s debt covenants may affect its liquidity or limit its ability to pursue acquisitions, incur debt, make investments, sell assets or complete other significant transactions.

The Company’s credit facility contains usual and customary covenants regarding significant transactions, including restrictions on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or consolidation transactions, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents for the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless waived by the Company’s lender, these covenants could limit the Company’s ability to pursue opportunities to expand its business operations, respond to changes in business and economic conditions and obtain additional financing, or otherwise engage in transactions that the Company considers beneficial.

The Company’s success is dependent upon retaining key management personnel.

The Company’s ability to retain qualified executive management and other key personnel is vital to the Company’s success. If the Company were unable to retain or attract qualified individuals, the Company’s growth and operating results could be materially impacted.

A stockholder could lose all or a portion of his investment in the Company.

The Company’s common stock has historically experienced a degree of price variability, and the price could be subject to rapid and substantial fluctuations. The Company’s common stock has also historically been thinly traded, a circumstance that exists when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders for the Company’s common stock at any given point in time. In such situations, a stockholder may be unable to liquidate his position in the Company’s common stock at the desired price. Also, as an equity investment, a stockholder’s investment in the Company is subordinate to the interests of the Company’s creditors, and a stockholder could lose all or a substantial portion of his investment in the Company in the event of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing or liquidation.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

BreathableBaby, LLC (“BreathableBaby”) filed a complaint against the Company and CCIP on January 11, 2012 in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that CCIP’s mesh crib liner infringes BreathableBaby’s patent rights relating to its air permeable infant bedding technology. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint, and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously against all such claims. The Company and CCIP filed a motion for summary judgment of non-infringement on May 14, 2012. BreathableBaby’s response was due by June 4, 2012, and the motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on June 25, 2012.

On or about May 17, 2012, an alleged Maryland purchaser of a CCIP bedding set filed a complaint against the Company and CCIP in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, purportedly on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated. The complaint generally alleges that CCIP’s crib bumper products put children at risk of suffocation or crib death and that the Company and CCIP concealed and failed to disclose these purported risks through allegedly false and misleading advertising and product packaging. The complaint does not allege that any child has actually been harmed by these products. The complaint alleges violations of various consumer protection laws in California, Maryland and numerous other states. The purported class is defined in the complaint as “All consumers who, within the applicable statute of limitations, purchased defendants’ crib bumper products or bedding sets that include a crib bumper.” The complaint alleges an alternative class that would be limited to residents of Maryland. The complaint seeks damages for the purported class in an unspecified amount, injunctive relief, “restitution and disgorgement of all monies acquired by the defendants by means of any act or practice” the Court finds to be unlawful, a Court-ordered “corrective advertising campaign”, and an award of plaintiffs’ attorneys fees and costs. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint, and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously against all such claims.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is a summary of certain factors that management considers important in reviewing the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

The following table contains results of operations for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 and the dollar and percentage changes for those periods (in thousands, except percentages).

	2012			2011			Change			Change
Net sales by category
Bedding, blankets and accessories	$	63,832		$	66,315		$	(2,483	)		-3.7	%
Bibs, bath and disposable products		21,474			23,656			(2,182	)		-9.2	%

Other income		16			3			13			433.3	%
Income tax expense		2,886			2,772			114			4.1	%
Income from continuing operations		5,052			4,403			649			14.7	%
Discontinued operations - net of taxes		(13	)		(97	)		84			-86.6	%
Net income		5,039			4,306			733			17.0	%
% of net sales		5.9	%		4.8	%

Net Sales: Sales decreased 5.2%, or $4.7 million, from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2012, with such decrease consisting of a 3.7% decrease, or $2.5 million, in sales of bedding, blankets and accessories and a 9.2% decrease, or $2.2 million, in sales of bib, bath and disposable products. The overall decline in sales was primarily due to lower sell-through at retail and the transitioning away from an unprofitable private label bedding program.

Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased in amount by $548,000, but increased as a percentage of net sales from 22.3% to 22.9%, from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2012. The decreases in amount followed the decline in sales, while the increase as a percentage of net sales was due to the redesign of several product lines to reduce the Company’s dependency on cotton, the cost of which reached record-setting levels in fiscal year 2012. The discontinuance of an unprofitable private label bedding program mentioned above also contributed to higher margins and countered the decline in sales. The Company’s gross profit for fiscal year 2012 was also positively impacted by the decline in amortization costs related to the Company’s acquisition of the baby products line of Springs Global US on November 5, 2007, which were $204,000 lower than in fiscal year 2011.

Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Marketing and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2012 decreased in amount and as a percentage of net sales as compared to fiscal year 2011 primarily due to a decline of $582,000 in overall compensation costs. Also, professional fees associated with certain corporate governance and shareholder issues were $419,000 lower in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011.

Interest Expense: The decrease in interest expense for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 is due to lower average balances on the Company’s credit facilities.

Income Tax Expense: The Company’s provision for income taxes on continuing operations decreased to 36.4% during fiscal year 2012 from 38.6% in fiscal year 2011. The decline in the effective tax rate is due to a decrease in the current year in the amount of certain expenses which are not deductible for tax purposes, as well as an increase in state Enterprise Zone wage credits.

The Company previously disclosed in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) had commenced an examination of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2009. The IRS notified the Company on March 8, 2012 that it had closed the examination with no proposed adjustment to the positions taken by the Company on such tax return.

Inflation: The Company has endeavored to increase its prices to offset inflationary increases in its raw materials and other costs, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining such price increases or in effecting such price increases in a manner that will provide a timely match to the cost increases.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

The Company’s financial results are closely tied to sales to the Company’s top three customers, which represented approximately 68% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2012. A significant downturn experienced by any or all of these customers could lead to pressure on the Company’s revenues. The Company has also faced higher raw material costs, primarily cotton, as well as increases in labor, transportation and currency costs associated with the Company’s sourcing activities in China. Continued increases in these costs will adversely affect the profitability of the Company if it cannot pass the cost increases along to its customers in the form of price increases or if the timing of price increases does not closely match the cost increases, or if the Company cannot continue to reduce its dependence on cotton. For a further discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could impact the Company’s operating results, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.3 million for the year ended April 1, 2012, compared to $2.0 million for the year ended April 3, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in inventory, accounts payable and accounts receivable balances.

Net cash used in investing activities was $560,000 in fiscal year 2012 compared $1.8 million in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in the prior year was primarily associated with the Company’s acquisition of the Bibsters® line of disposable bibs.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.7 million in the current year compared to $109,000 in the prior year. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher net repayments in the current year on the Company’s revolving line of credit.

From April 4, 2011 to April 1, 2012, the Company used the bulk of its net cash provided by operating activities to pay off $6.3 million in debt owed under the Company’s credit facilities before the reduction for the original issue discount on the Company’s non-interest bearing subordinated notes payable. Such payments consisted of net repayments of $4.3 million on the Company’s revolving line of credit and payments made in July 2011 of $2.0 million in the aggregate for the remaining balance due on the subordinated notes payable. The Company also paid $1.3 million in cash dividends on its common stock during fiscal year 2012.

The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations and availability on its revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

At April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, the Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

	April 1, 2012		April 3, 2011
Revolving line of credit	$	-	$	4,336
Non-interest bearing notes		-		2,000
Original issue discount		-		(48	)
		-		6,288
Less current maturities		-		1,952
	$	-	$	4,336

The Company’s credit facility at April 1, 2012 consisted of a revolving line of credit under a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”) of up to $26.0 million, which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, with an interest rate of prime plus 1.00%, which was 4.25% at April 1, 2012, or LIBOR plus 3.00%, which was 3.24% at April 1, 2012, maturing on July 11, 2013 and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. As of April 1, 2012, the Company had elected to pay interest on the revolving line of credit under the LIBOR option. Also under the financing agreement, a monthly fee is assessed based on 0.25% of the average unused portion of the $26.0 million revolving line of credit, less any outstanding letters of credit. This unused line fee amounted to $61,000 and $47,000 during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. At April 1, 2012, there was no balance owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and the Company had $24.5 million available under the revolving line of credit based on its eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances.

The financing agreement was amended effective as of April 2, 2012 to provide for the payment by CIT to the Company of interest at the rate of prime minus 1.00%, which was 2.25% at April 2, 2012, on daily negative balances outstanding under the revolving line of credit, and to permit the payment by the Company of cash dividends on its common stock without limitation, provided there is no default before or as a result of the payment of such dividends.

The financing agreement contains usual and customary covenants for agreements of that type, including limitations on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or consolidation transactions, transactions with affiliates, and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents for the Company and its subsidiaries.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT pursuant to factoring agreements, which expire in July 2013. The factoring agreements were amended and restated effective as of April 2, 2012, under which CIT will remit customer payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT. Under the terms of the factoring agreements in effect prior to April 1, 2012, CIT remitted payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer failed to pay CIT by the due date, the Company was charged interest at prime plus 1.0%, which was 4.25% at April 1, 2012, until payment was received. The Company incurred interest expense of $67,000 and $77,000 in the years ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, respectively, as a result of the failure of the Company’s customers to pay CIT by the due date. CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved shipments, while the Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation were to occur, the Company would either assume the credit risks for shipments to the customer after the date of such termination or limitation or cease shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were $469,000 and $539,000 during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no advances from the factor at either April 1, 2012 or April 3, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), as well as the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder as administered by the SEC. References herein to GAAP are to topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “FASB ASC”), which the FASB periodically revises through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The listing below, while not inclusive of all of the Company's accounting policies, sets forth those accounting policies which the Company's management believes embody the most significant judgments due to the uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Inventory Valuation: The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires careful determination of the appropriate dollar amount of the Company's inventory balances. Such amount is presented as a current asset in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and is a direct determinant of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and, therefore, has a significant impact on the amount of net income reported in the accounting periods. The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which is the sum of expenditures and charges, both direct and indirect, incurred to acquire inventory, bring it to a condition suitable for sale, and store it until it is sold. Once cost has been determined, the Company’s inventory is then stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the order in which they are acquired. The determination of the indirect charges and their allocation to the Company's finished goods inventories is complex and requires significant management judgment and estimates. If management made different judgments or utilized different estimates, then differences would result in the valuation of the Company's inventories and in the amount and timing of the Company's cost of goods sold and resulting net income for the reporting period.

On a periodic basis, management reviews its inventory quantities on hand for obsolescence, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be expected to be sold within the Company’s normal operating cycle. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or the market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is otherwise no longer as great as its carrying value, an allowance against the inventory value is established. To the extent that this allowance is established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is recorded in cost of goods sold in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Only when inventory for which an allowance has been established is later sold or is otherwise disposed is the allowance reduced accordingly. Significant management judgment is required in determining the amount and adequacy of this allowance. In the event that actual results differ from management's estimates or these estimates and judgments are revised in future periods, the Company may not fully realize the carrying value of its inventory or may need to establish additional allowances, either of which could materially impact the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies a negative balance outstanding under its revolving line of credit as cash, as these amounts are legally owed to the Company and are immediately available to be drawn upon by the Company.

Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for estimated returns and allowances in the consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are not material and are included in net sales.

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company’s allowances against accounts receivable are primarily contractually agreed-upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Funding of the majority of the Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis. The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of agreed-upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. All such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales, and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities. When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments or credits issued against the customer’s account balance. The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to the appropriate levels. The timing of the customer initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have a minimal impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its receivables under factoring agreements with CIT. In the event a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to creditworthiness, CIT bears the risk of loss. The Company’s management must make estimates of the uncollectiblity of its non-factored accounts receivable when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts, which it accomplishes by specifically analyzing accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in its customers’ payment terms. The Company’s accounts receivable at April 1, 2012 amounted to $20.3 million, net of allowances of $1.1 million. Of this amount, $19.4 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, and $18,000 was due from CIT as a negative balance outstanding under the Company’s revolving line of credit, which combined amounts represent the maximum loss that the Company could incur if CIT failed completely to perform its obligations under the factoring agreements and the revolving line of credit.

Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalty amounts are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers. Royalty expense is included in cost of sales and amounted to $6.9 million and $7.3 million for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes: The Company’s provision for income taxes includes all currently payable federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are based on the Company's taxable income and the change during the fiscal year in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company provides for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s policy is to recognize the effect that a change in enacted tax rates would have on net deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period that the tax rates are changed.

The Company's provision for income taxes on continuing operations is based on effective tax rates of 36.4% and 38.6% in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. These effective tax rates are the sum of the top U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and a composite rate for state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit, in the various states in which the Company operates.

Management evaluates items of income, deductions and credits reported on the Company’s various federal and state income tax returns filed and recognizes the effect of positions taken on those income tax returns only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Based on its recent evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Tax years still open to federal or state general examination or other adjustment as of April 1, 2012 were the tax years ended March 29, 2009, March 28, 2010, April 3, 2011 and April 1, 2012, as well as the tax year ended March 30, 2008 for several states. The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Depreciation and Amortization: The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect property, plant and equipment, and certain intangible assets at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The Company capitalizes additions and improvements and expenses maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to eight years for property, plant and equipment, and one to sixteen years for intangible assets other than goodwill. The Company amortizes improvements to its leased facilities over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill: In addition to the depreciation and amortization procedures set forth above, the Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value, less estimated costs to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal, and are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company tests the carrying value of its goodwill annually on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. An additional impairment test is performed during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances suggest that the fair value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not fallen below its carrying value.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU is intended to improve consistency across jurisdictions to ensure that U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate that its adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 on April 2, 2012 will impact its consolidated financial statements.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This ASU will give an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of the goodwill of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The ASU is intended to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the test for goodwill impairment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is permitted. Because the annual impairment test of the fair value of the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units was performed as of April 4, 2011, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-08 on April 2, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that such adoption will impact its consolidated financial statements.

Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of April 1, 2012.

The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only a reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the Company’s financial statements are free of any material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act and, in connection with such evaluation, determined that no changes occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Crown Crafts, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Crafts, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule II included in Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Crafts, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Crown Crafts, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Fiscal Years Ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011

Note 1 – Description of Business

Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”) operates indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc. (“CCIP”) and Hamco, Inc. (“Hamco”), in the infant and toddler products segment within the consumer products industry. The infant and toddler products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding, bibs, disposable products, soft goods and accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, internet accounts, wholesale clubs and catalog retailers. The Company’s products are manufactured primarily in Asia and marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to GAAP are to topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “FASB ASC”), which the FASB periodically revises through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.

Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. References herein to “fiscal year 2012” or “2012”, and “fiscal year 2011” or “2011” represent the 52- and 53-week periods ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, respectively.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are made with respect to the allowances related to accounts receivable for customer deductions for returns, allowances and disputes. The Company also has a certain amount of discontinued finished goods which necessitates the establishment of inventory reserves that are highly subjective. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit under a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”). The Company classifies a negative balance outstanding under this revolving line of credit as cash, as these amounts are legally owed to the Company and are immediately available to be drawn upon by the Company.

Financial Instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable – For those short term financial instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Long term debt – The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value because interest rates under the Company’s borrowings are variable, based on prevailing market rates.

Depreciation and Amortization: The accompanying consolidated balance sheets reflect property, plant and equipment, and certain intangible assets at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The Company capitalizes additions and improvements and expenses maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to eight years for property, plant and equipment, and one to sixteen years for intangible assets other than goodwill. The Company amortizes improvements to its leased facilities over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

F-6

The Company tests the carrying value of its goodwill of its reporting units annually as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. An additional impairment test is performed during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances suggest that the fair value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not fallen below its carrying value.

Segments and Related Information: The Company operates primarily in one principal segment, infant and toddler products. These products consist of infant and toddler bedding, bibs, disposable products, soft goods and accessories. Net sales of bedding, blankets and accessories amounted to $63.8 million and $66.3 million in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net sales of bibs, bath and disposable products amounted to $21.5 million and $23.7 million in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for estimated returns and allowances in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are not material and are included in net sales.

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company’s allowances against accounts receivable are primarily contractually agreed-upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Funding of the majority of the Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis. The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consist of agreed-upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. All such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales, and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities. When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments or credits issued against the customer’s account balance. The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to the appropriate levels. The timing of the customer-initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have a minimal impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable under factoring agreements with CIT. In the event a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to creditworthiness, CIT bears the risk of loss. The Company’s management must make estimates of the uncollectiblity of its non-factored accounts receivable when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts, which it accomplishes by specifically analyzing accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in its customers’ payment terms. The Company’s accounts receivable at April 1, 2012 amounted to $20.3 million, net of allowances of $1.1 million. Of this amount, $19.4 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, and $18,000 was due from CIT as a negative balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit, which combined amounts represent the maximum loss that the Company could incur if CIT failed completely to perform its obligations under the factoring agreements and the revolving line of credit.

F-7

The Company files income tax returns in the many jurisdictions in which it operates, including the U.S., several U.S. states and the People’s Republic of China. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction; tax years open to federal or state general examination or other adjustment as of April 1, 2012 were the tax years ended March 29, 2009, March 28, 2010, April 3, 2011 and April 1, 2012, as well as the tax year ended March 30, 2008 for several states. The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalties are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers. Royalty expense is included in cost of sales and amounted to $6.9 million and $7.3 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Inventory Valuation: The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires careful determination of the appropriate dollar amount of the Company's inventory balances. Such amount is presented as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is a direct determinant of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and, therefore, has a significant impact on the amount of net income in the reported accounting periods. The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which is the sum of expenditures and charges, both direct and indirect, incurred to acquire inventory, bring it to a condition suitable for sale and store it until it is sold. Once cost has been determined, the Company’s inventory is then stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the order in which they are acquired. The determination of the indirect charges and their allocation to the Company's finished goods inventories is complex and requires significant management judgment and estimates. If management made different judgments or utilized different estimates, then differences would result in the valuation of the Company's inventories and in the amount and timing of the Company's cost of goods sold and the resulting net income for the reporting period.

Earnings Per Share: The Company calculates basic earnings per share by using a weighted average of the number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted shares outstanding are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of all exercisable options would be used to repurchase shares at market value. The net number of shares issued after the exercise proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the exercisable options, which are added to basic shares to arrive at diluted shares.

Recently-Issued Accounting Standards: On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU is intended to improve consistency across jurisdictions to ensure that U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate that its adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 on April 2, 2012 will impact its consolidated financial statements.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This ASU will give an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of the goodwill of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test as described above. The ASU is intended to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the test for goodwill impairment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is permitted. Because the annual impairment test of the fair value of the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units was performed as of April 4, 2011, the Company will adopt ASU No. 2011-08 on April 2, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that such adoption will impact its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisition

On May 27, 2010, Hamco paid $1.8 million to The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) to acquire certain intellectual property related to P&G’s line of Bibsters® disposable infant bibs. In a separate but related transaction, Hamco also acquired the inventory associated with the Bibsters® product line from the exclusive licensee of Bibsters® for P&G, whose license was terminated to coincide with the closing (collectively, the two transactions represent the “Bibsters® Acquisition”). Hamco also recognized as expense $100,000 of direct costs associated with the acquisition, which were included in marketing and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2011. Because the operations of the Bibsters® product line have been integrated with Hamco, and because the assets acquired do not exist as a discrete entity within the Company’s internal corporate structure, it is impracticable to determine the earnings generated by the assets acquired from the Bibsters® product line since the acquisition date. The Company believes that the pro forma impact of the acquisition is not material.

The fair values of the assets acquired were determined by the Company with the assistance of an independent third party. The Company’s allocation of the acquisition cost is as follows (in thousands):

Amortizable intangible assets:	Amount
Trademarks	$	629
Patents		553
Customer relationships		328
Total amortizable intangible assets		1,510
Goodwill		290

Total intangible assets		1,800
Tangible assets - inventory		272

Total acquisition cost	$	2,072

Note 4 – Retirement Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan with a cash or deferred arrangement (the “Plan”), as provided by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). The Plan covers substantially all employees, who may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the Plan, subject to maximum amounts and percentages as prescribed in the Code. Each calendar year, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines the portion, if any, of employee contributions that will be matched by the Company. For calendar years 2011 and 2010, the employer matching contributions represented an amount equal to 100% of the first 2% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 1% of employee contributions to the Plan. If an employee separates from the Company prior to the full vesting of the funds in their account that represent the matching employer portion of their account, then the unvested portion of the matching employer portion of their account is forfeited when they take a distribution of their account. The Company utilizes such forfeitures as an offset to the aggregate matching contributions. The Company's matching contribution to the Plan, net of the utilization of forfeitures, was $153,000 and $141,000 for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 5 – Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the operations of Churchill Weavers, Inc. (“Churchill”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ceased and all employees were terminated. The Company is actively marketing Churchill’s land and building for sale, and a portion of the property was sold in July 2008. The Churchill property is recorded at fair value, less estimated cost to sell, and is classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company determined that the fair value of the property had fallen below its carrying value during fiscal year 2011 and recorded an impairment charge of $121,000, which did not result in any cash expenditures, did not have an adverse effect on the Company’s compliance with the covenants under its financing agreement and did not affect the Company’s availability under its revolving line of credit. The operations of Churchill are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The following table sets forth the loss from discontinued operations for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill: The Company reported goodwill of $1.1 million at April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011. The Company tests the fair value of the goodwill of its reporting units annually as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year in a two-step approach. The first step is the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit to ensure that its fair value exceeds its carrying value. If step one indicates that a potential impairment exists, then the second step is performed to measure the amount of an impairment charge, if any. In the second step, these estimated fair values are used as the hypothetical purchase price for the reporting units, and an allocation of such hypothetical purchase price is made to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assigned liabilities of the reporting units. The impairment charge is calculated as the amount, if any, by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied amount of goodwill that results from this hypothetical purchase price allocation. An additional interim impairment test must be performed during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that suggest that the fair value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not fallen below its carrying value. The Company performed the annual impairment test as of April 4, 2011 and concluded that the fair value of the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of that date. The Company determined that an additional interim impairment test was not required.

Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets as of April 1, 2012 consisted primarily of the capitalized costs of recent acquisitions, other than tangible assets, goodwill and assumed liabilities. The carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s other intangible assets as of April 1, 2012, their estimated useful life and amortization expense for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 8 - Financing Arrangements

Factoring Agreements: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT pursuant to factoring agreements which expire in July 2013. Under the terms of the factoring agreements in effect as of April 1, 2012, CIT would remit payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer failed to pay CIT by the due date, the Company was charged interest at prime plus 1.0%, which was 4.25% at April 1, 2012, until payment was received. The Company incurred interest expense of $67,000 and $77,000 in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of the failure of the Company’s customers to pay CIT by the due date. CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved shipments, while the Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation were to occur, the Company would either assume the credit risks for shipments to the customer after the date of such termination or limitation or cease shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were $469,000 and $539,000 during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no advances from the factor at either April 1, 2012 or April 3, 2011.

The factoring agreements were amended and restated effective as of April 2, 2012 to provide that CIT will remit customer payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT.

Notes Payable and Other Credit Facilities : At April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, long term debt of the Company consisted of (in thousands):

	April 1, 2012		April 3, 2011

F-11

The Company’s credit facility as of April 1, 2012 consisted of a revolving line of credit under a financing agreement with CIT of up to $26.0 million, which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, with an interest rate of prime plus 1.00%, which was 4.25% at April 1, 2012, or LIBOR plus 3.00%, which was 3.24% at April 1, 2012, maturing on July 11, 2013 and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. As of April 1, 2012, the Company had elected to pay interest on the revolving line of credit under the LIBOR option. Also under the financing agreement, a monthly fee is assessed based on 0.25% of the average unused portion of the $26.0 million revolving line of credit, less any outstanding letters of credit. This unused line fee amounted to $61,000 and $47,000 during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. At April 1, 2012, there was no balance owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and the Company had $24.5 million available under the revolving line of credit based on its eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets:
Employee benefit accruals	$	240		$	377

Stock-based compensation		621			595
Total gross deferred tax assets		3,438			3,730
Less valuation allowance		(971	)		(934	)
Deferred tax assets after valuation allowance		2,467			2,796

Deferred tax liabilities:

Property, plant and equipment		(7	)		(13	)
Total deferred tax liabilities		(730	)		(662	)
Net deferred income tax assets	$	1,737		$	2,134

In assessing the probability that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized, management of the Company has considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the future periods in which the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets will become deductible. The Company has also considered the scheduled inclusion into taxable income in future periods of the temporary differences giving rise to the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. The valuation allowance as of April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011 was related to state net operating loss carryforwards that the Company does not expect to be realized. Based upon the Company’s expectations of the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance and the deferred tax liabilities.

Management evaluates items of income, deductions and credits reported on the Company’s various federal and state income tax returns filed, and recognizes the effect of positions taken on those income tax returns only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Based on its recent evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Tax years still open to federal or state general examination or other adjustment as of April 1, 2012 were the tax years ended March 29, 2009, March 28, 2010, April 3, 2011 and April 1, 2012, as well as the tax year ended March 30, 2008 for several states. The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized tax benefits as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The Company's provision for income taxes on continuing operations is based upon effective tax rates of 36.4% and 38.6% in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. These effective tax rates are the sum of the top U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and a composite rate for state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit, in the various states in which the Company operates.

The following table reconciles income tax expense on income from continuing operations at the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate to the net income tax provision reported for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Tax expense at statutory rate (34%)	$	2,699		$	2,440
State income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit		210			231
Tax credits		(13	)		(21	)
Nondeductible expenses		11			77

The Company has two incentive stock plans, the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) and the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Company granted non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors from the 1995 Plan through the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006. In conjunction with the approval of the 2006 Plan by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting in 2006, options may no longer be issued from the 1995 Plan.

The 2006 Plan is intended to attract and retain directors, officers and employees of the Company and to motivate these individuals to achieve performance objectives related to the Company’s overall goal of increasing stockholder value. The principal reason for adopting the 2006 Plan was to ensure that the Company has a mechanism for long-term, equity-based incentive compensation to its non-employee directors and to certain employees. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan may be in the form of qualified or non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive compensation units consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination thereof within the limitations set forth in the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board, which determines which employees and non-employee directors will be awarded grants under the 2006 Plan and determines the type, amount and duration of such awards. At April 1, 2012, 209,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan.

Stock-based compensation is calculated according to FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , which requires a stock-based compensation to be accounted for using a fair-value-based measurement. The Company recorded $545,000 and $732,000 of stock-based compensation during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company records the compensation expense associated with stock-based awards granted to individuals in the same expense classifications as the cash compensation paid to those same individuals. No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of April 1, 2012.

Stock Options: The following table represents stock option activity for fiscal years 2012 and 2011:

	Fiscal Year Ended April 1, 2012					Fiscal Year Ended April 3, 2011
	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Number of Options Outstanding			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Number of Options Outstanding
Outstanding at Beginning of Year	$	3.31		747,000		$	2.94		825,832
Granted		4.81		100,000			4.23		110,000
Exercised		3.30		(274,000	)		2.07		(171,832	)
Forfeited		-		-			3.86		(17,000	)
Outstanding at End of Year		3.57		573,000			3.31		747,000
Exercisable at End of Year		3.20		423,000			3.19		567,000

The total intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was $399,000 and $418,000, respectively. As of April 1, 2012, the intrinsic value of the outstanding and exercisable stock options was $1.0 million and $851,000, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation formula to determine the estimated fair value of stock options granted. The following table sets forth the assumptions used and the resulting grant-date fair value of the non-qualified stock options granted to certain employees during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, which options vest over a two-year period, assuming continued service.

	2012			2011
Options issued		100,000			110,000
Grant Date	June 10, 2011			June 23, 2010
Dividend yield		2.49	%		1.89	%
Expected volatility		60.00	%		55.00	%
Risk free interest rate		1.84	%		2.17	%
Expected life in years		5.75			5.75
Forfeiture rate		5.00	%		5.00	%
Exercise price (grant-date closing price)	$	4.81		$	4.23
Fair value	$	2.16		$	1.88

Because the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience did not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected life of the stock options granted during each of the fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company has elected to use the simplified method to estimate the expected life of the stock options granted, as allowed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and the continued acceptance of the simplified method indicated in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

For the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, the Company recognized compensation expense associated with stock options as follows (in thousands):

	Fiscal Year Ended April 1, 2012
Options Granted in Fiscal Year	Cost of Products Sold		Marketing & Administrative Expenses		Total Expense
2010	$	15	$	32	$	47

2010		37		86		123
2011		34		34		68

Total stock option compensation	$	84	$	158	$	242

A summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable at April 1, 2012 is as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices		Number of Options Outstanding		Weighted Avg. Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price of Options Outstanding		Number of Shares Exercisable		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price of Options Exercisable
$	0.65 - $0.71		43,500		0.86	$	0.69		43,500	$	0.69
$	3.02 - $3.15		185,000		6.32	$	3.07		185,000	$	3.07
$	3.58		85,000		6.19	$	3.58		85,000	$	3.58
$	4.08 - $4.23		159,500		7.16	$	4.17		109,500	$	4.15
$	4.81		100,000		9.19	$	4.81		-	$	-
			573,000		6.62	$	3.57		423,000	$	3.20

As of April 1, 2012, total unrecognized stock-option compensation costs amounted to $162,000, which will be recognized as the underlying stock options vest over a period of up to two years. The amount of future stock-option compensation expense could be affected by any future stock option grants and by the separation from the Company of any employee or director who has stock options that are unvested as of such individual’s separation date.

Non-vested Stock: The fair value of non-vested stock granted is determined based on the number of shares granted multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Board granted 30,000 shares of non-vested stock to its non-employee directors during each of the three-month periods ended October 2, 2011, September 26, 2010, September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 with a weighted-average fair value of $4.44, $4.36, $3.02 and $3.87, respectively, as of the date of the stock grants. These shares vest over a two-year period, assuming continued service.

In August 2011, 22,500 shares vested that had been granted to non-employee directors, having an aggregate value of $103,000, and 2,500 shares were forfeited upon the departure from the Board of a non-employee director prior to the vesting of his shares.

The Board awarded 345,000 shares of non-vested stock to certain employees as of June 23, 2010 (the “Grant Date”) in a series of grants which would have originally vested only if the closing price of the Company’s common stock is at or above certain target levels for any ten trading days out of any period of 30 consecutive trading days (the “Market Condition”), assuming continued service through the date the Market Condition is achieved.

F-15

As of July 29, 2010 (the “Modification Date”), the Company amended these non-vested stock grants to require as a condition to vesting a five-year period of continuous service after the Modification Date in addition to the achievement of the Market Condition. The amendment of these non-vested stock grants is being accounted for as a modification. As such, the initial aggregate Grant Date fair value and the incremental cost resulting from the modification, if any, will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting term of the modified awards. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party, determined that the aggregate Grant Date fair value of the original awards amounted to $1.2 million, and has further determined that there is no incremental cost resulting from the modification. Therefore, the aggregate Grant Date fair value will be recognized as compensation expense over a period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Modification Date.

For the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, the Company recognized compensation expense associated with non-vested stock grants, which is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, as follows (in thousands):

	Fiscal Year Ended April 1, 2012
Stock Granted in Fiscal Year	Employees		Non-employee Directors		Total Expense
2010	$	-	$	11	$	11
2011		208		58		266
2012		-		45		45

Total stock grant compensation	$	208	$	114	$	322

2010		-		43		43
2011		314		44		358

Total stock grant compensation	$	384	$	106	$	490

At April 1, 2012, the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants amounted to $801,000, which will be recognized over the remaining portion of the respective vesting periods associated with each block of grants as set forth above. The amount of future compensation expense related to non-vested stock grants could be affected by any future non-vested stock grants and by the separation from the Company of any individual who has unvested grants as of such individual’s separation date.

Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity

On August 9, 2011, at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, a proposal was approved to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to reduce the Company’s authorized capital stock to 40,000,000 shares, all of which are Series A common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. Prior to the approval of this proposal, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of capital stock, subdivided as follows:

	Authorized Shares
Common stock, $0.01 par value per share:
Series A		73,500,000
Series B		327,940
Series C		172,060

Dividends: The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board. In February 2010, the Board recommenced the regular quarterly declaration of cash dividends, with no cash dividends having previously been declared since 1999. Aggregate cash dividends of $0.22 and $0.09 per share, amounting to $2.1 million and $855,000, were declared during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of April 1, 2012, the Company’s financing agreement with CIT permitted the payment of cash dividends on the Company’s common stock of up to $500,000 per calendar quarter.

The financing agreement was amended effective as of April 2, 2012 to permit the payment by the Company of cash dividends on its common stock without limitation, provided there is no default before or as a result of the payment of such dividends.

Stock Repurchases: In June 2007, the Board created a capital committee which has, from time to time, adopted a program that would allow the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program during fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011, and there was no share repurchase program in effect as of April 1, 2012.

The Company acquired treasury shares by way of the surrender to the Company from a non-employee director and several employees shares of common stock to satisfy the exercise price and income tax withholding obligations relating to the exercise of stock options and the vesting of shares of restricted stock. In this manner, the Company acquired 218,000 treasury shares during fiscal year 2012 at a weighted-average market value of $4.75 per share and acquired 174,000 treasury shares during fiscal year 2011 at a weighted-average market value of $4.47 per share.
