A. T. CROSS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 3, 2010

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for financial statements.  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of April 3, 2010, and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009.  The results of operations for the three-month period ended April 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.  Subsequent events have been evaluated to the date of issuance of these financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, which includes consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended January 2, 2010, January 3, 2009 and December 29, 2007.  The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the last Saturday closest to December 31, and consists of 13 week fiscal quarters.

NOTE B - InventoryThe components of inventory are as follows:

|(THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) | APRIL 3, 2010   | JANUARY 2, 2010
|---------------------- | --------------- | ---------------
|                       | Finished goods  | $15,754        
|                       | Work in process | 3,638          
|                       | Raw materials   | 10,975         
|                       |                 | $30,367        

NOTE C - Income TaxesIn the first three months of 2010 the effective tax rate was 30.1%.  In the first three months of 2009 the effective tax rate was 64.6%, which included approximately $0.8 million of income tax benefit related to the net adjustment to the accrual of tax, interest and penalties as a result of the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit of our 2005 Federal income tax return.  It also included approximately $0.1 million of income tax benefit, the realization of which was previously considered uncertain.  As a result of the IRS audit, deferred taxes increased $0.1 million.

NOTE D - Restructuring ChargesIn 2008, the Company restructured Cross Accessory Division ("CAD") Lincoln based manufacturing operations in order to increase its competitiveness in the global marketplace by further leveraging the investment in China manufacturing operations.  The Company also closed several underperforming retail stores and reduced headcount at its Lincoln facility.  These restructuring programs, which were substantially complete by end of the first quarter of 2009, moved Lincoln manufacturing operations to the Company's China facility and reduced the total retail store count by four.  Approximately 50 manufacturing positions and 27 sales and administrative positions in the United States, and four sales and administrative positions in the United Kingdom were affected by these programs.  In the third quarter of 2009, the Company expanded its restructuring efforts to further reduce headcount at its Lincoln and European facilities.  Approximately $1.9 million of restructuring charges were recognized in 2009.  The Company incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $4.4 million since the inception of these programs.  Of this $4.4 million, approximately $2.4 million was for severance and related expenses and approximately $2.0 million was for transition and other costs.  The Company does not expect further charges under this program.  The following is a tabular presentation of the restructuring liabilities related to this plan:

|(THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)      | SEVERANCE &RELATED EXPENSES | PROFESSIONALFEES & OTHER | TOTAL
|--------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------ | -----
|Balances at January 2, 2010 | $676                        |                          | $ 95

NOTE F - Warranty CostsThe Cross Accessory Division's Cross-branded writing instruments are sold with a full warranty of unlimited duration against mechanical failure.  CAD's accessories are sold with a one-year warranty against mechanical failure and defects in workmanship and timepieces are warranted for a period of two years.  Costa Del Mar and Native sunglasses are sold with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.  Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale.  The most significant factors in the estimation of accrued warranty costs include the operating efficiency and related cost of the service department, unit sales and the number of units that are eventually returned for warranty repair.  The current portions of accrued warranty costs were $0.5 million at April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, and were recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities.  The following chart reflects the activity in aggregate accrued warranty costs:

NOTE G - Line of CreditIn 2008, 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010, the Company amended its secured revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A.  Under the amended line of credit agreement, the bank agreed to make loans to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35.0 million, including up to $5.0 million equivalent in Eurocurrency loans denominated in pounds sterling or Euro ("Eurocurrency Loans") and up to $30.0 million of other committed loans to the Company ("Committed Loans") at any time.  As part of the aggregate availability, the bank may also issue up to $5.0 million in letters of credit.  Subject to the limits on availability and the other terms and conditions of this credit agreement, amounts may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed without penalty.  This amended credit facility matures and amounts outstanding must be paid on March 31, 2011.

The interest rate for the Committed Loans will be, at the Company's option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable margin or (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or the bank's prime rate plus an applicable margin.  The interest rate for any Eurocurrency Loans will be an interest settlement rate for deposits in pounds sterling or Euro plus an applicable margin.  The applicable margin for LIBOR and Eurocurrency loans will be an amount between 2.25% and 3.00%, and the applicable margin for federal funds or the bank's prime rate will be an amount between 1.00% and 1.25%, which will vary from time to time based upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio.

Under the line of credit agreement, the Company has agreed to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants.  The most restrictive covenant restricts the Company from declaring cash dividends on its common stock.  The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, computed at each year end, a maximum level of capital expenditures and a minimum ratio of adjusted EBITDA to required debt service payments over any four-quarter period, each of which is calculated in accordance with the agreement.  Amounts due under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company.  Amounts due are also secured by a pledge of the assets of the Company and those of certain of its domestic subsidiaries.

At April 3, 2010, the outstanding balance of the Company's amended line of credit was $15.2 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 3.23%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the amended agreement, was $19.8 million.  At January 2, 2010, the outstanding balance of the Company's line of credit was $19.7 million, bearing an interest rate of approximately 3.23%, and the unused and available portion, according to the terms of the agreement, was $15.3 million.

NOTE H - Employee Benefit PlansThe following table illustrates the components of net periodic benefit cost:

|Net Periodic Benefit Cost          | $ 124             

The Company expects to contribute $1.5 million to its defined benefit pension plan, $0.8 million to its defined contribution retirement plan and $0.2 million to its excess benefit plan in 2010.  Additionally, the Company expects to meet or exceed its minimum funding requirements for its defined benefit plans in future years.  The Company anticipates these future funding requirements to be between $1.0 million and $2.0 million per year.

NOTE I - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests, more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in their fair value.  The Company has identified two reporting units, consisting of the CAD and COG segments.  The Company performs the assessments annually during the fourth quarter or on an interim basis if potential impairment indicators arise.  The fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is determined using established income and market valuation approaches and the fair value of other indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of two COG segment trade names, is determined using a forward relief from royalty method.  For further discussion about impairment analysis, see the "Impairment Analysis" section of Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

At April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the approximate $15.3 million carrying value of goodwill, $11.9 million of which is expected to be tax deductible, related entirely to the COG segment.  Other intangibles consisted of the following:

NOTE J - Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign exchange and interest rates.  In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives.  Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings.  Gains or losses from derivatives used to manage foreign exchange are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.



For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income.  For fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged item.  Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure.  As a result, any change in the value of the derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items.  Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings impact occur when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item.  Ineffectiveness of the Company's hedges is not material.  If the derivative instrument is terminated, the Company continues to defer the related gain or loss and include it as a component of the cost of the underlying hedged item.  Upon determination that the underlying hedged item will not be part of an actual transaction, the Company recognizes the related gain or loss in the statement of operations immediately.

The Company also uses derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The Company accounts for such derivatives at market value with the resulting gains and losses reflected in the statements of operations.

The Company enters into arrangements with individual counterparties that it believes are creditworthy and generally settles such arrangements on a net basis.  In addition, the Company performs a quarterly assessment of counterparty credit risk, including a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty.  Based on the most recent quarterly assessment of counterparty credit risk, the Company considers this risk to be low.

Foreign Exchange

The Company enters into derivatives, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts with terms of no more than one year, to manage risk associated with exposure to certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions, primarily intercompany accounts receivable.  Gains or losses resulting from the translation of certain foreign currency balance sheet positions are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.  Foreign currency derivatives had a total notional value of $21.8 million as of April 3, 2010 and $15.6 million as of January 2, 2010.  Gains and losses on the derivatives were generally offset by changes in U.S. dollar value of the underlying hedged items.

Interest Rates

In March 2008, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with a total initial notional amount of $15.0 million and a term of three years.  These swaps effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company's three-year line of credit at approximately 3.64%.  Amounts paid or received under these swap agreements are recorded as adjustments to interest expense.  The Company measures hedge ineffectiveness using the "hypothetical" derivative method.  These swaps have been designated cash flow hedges and the effect of the mark-to-market valuations are recorded as an adjustment, net of tax, to accumulated other comprehensive loss.  From inception to April 3, 2010, the effect of the mark-to-market valuations, net of tax, was an unrealized loss of approximately $0.3 million and is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  At April 3, 2010, the combined notional value of these three interest rate swaps was $15.0 million.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.  The three levels are defined as follows:



|Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.                                                                                                                                
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 2 | Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
|Level 3 | Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.                                                                                            

The fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which approximates fair value.  Accounts payable, included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, is recorded at historical cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the liabilities.  Long and short-term debt is recorded at historical cost, which approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate.

NOTE K - Short-Term Investments

At April 3, 2010, the Company had no short-term investments.  Realized and unrealized gains or losses on these short-term investments are included in other income (expense).

NOTE L - Commitments and ContingenciesThe Company is named as one of approximately ninety defendants in a contribution suit brought by CCL/Unilever relating to the J.M. Mills Landfill Site (the "Site"), which is part of the Peterson/Puritan Superfund Site in Cumberland, Rhode Island.  These complaints allege that the Company is liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") for contribution for Site investigation costs.  Site investigation costs (excluding the required remedy) are currently estimated at $7 million.  The Company has reached settlement of the case and has paid a settlement amount of $205,000.

The Company expects that the Federal Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") will select a remedy for the Site in the fall of 2010.  At that time, the EPA will initiate an administrative process (the "Special Notice Process") pursuant to CERCLA whereby the EPA will request that those entities that the EPA contends arranged for the disposal of hazardous materials at the Site (the PRPs), undertake the selected remedy at the Site.  The EPA contends that the Company is a PRP at the Site.  During the Special Notice Process, the Company and the other PRPs will engage in negotiations with the EPA regarding the remedy, and among themselves regarding the contribution of each PRP to overall remediation costs.  Neither the cost of the remedy nor the identity of all PRPs is known at this time.  Therefore it is not possible to assess the outcome of the Special Notice Process as it may relate to the Company's contribution to remediation costs.

The Company is involved in various other litigation and legal matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  To its knowledge, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any of those existing matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

Overview

A.T. Cross Company is a leading designer and marketer of branded personal accessories including writing instruments, watches, reading glasses, personal and business accessories and sunglasses.  The Company has been operating in a difficult economic environment in mature as well as competitive categories.  The Company has challenged itself to build upon its unique attributes in order to develop a vibrant, diversified and forward-looking company poised for sustainable growth and long-term profit.

Cross Accessory Division ("CAD")

The Company has been a manufacturer and marketer of fine quality writing instruments since 1846.  Sold primarily under the Cross brand, ball-point, fountain and selectip rolling ball pens and mechanical pencils are offered in a variety of styles and finishes.Also under the Cross brand, CAD offers a variety of personal and business accessories including leather goods, reading glasses, watches, desk sets, business totes, cufflinks, and stationery.  This segment typically records its highest sales and operating income in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year

Cross Optical Group ("COG")

The Company established an optical segment with the 2003 acquisition of Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality polarized sunglasses.  On March 24, 2008, the Company acquired Native Eyewear, Inc.  This segment typically records its highest sales and operating income in the second quarter of the fiscal year.

Results of Operations First Quarter 2010 Compared to First Quarter 2009

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company reported net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2009.



The following chart details net sales performance:

|(THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) | THREE MONTHS ENDED     | PERCENTAGE   
|---------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------
|                       | APRIL 3, 2010          | APRIL 4, 2009
|CAD                    | 20,716                 |              
|COG                    | 13,657                 |              
|                       | Consolidated Net Sales | $ 34,373     

Consolidated net sales were $34.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $30.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.  The effect of foreign exchange was favorable to consolidated first quarter 2010 sales results by approximately $0.6 million, or 1.9 percentage points.

Due to the improving economy, all major CAD divisions reported revenue increases in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009.  The effect of foreign exchange was favorable to CAD first quarter 2010 sales results by approximately $0.6 million, or 3.0 percentage points.  In the Optical segment, revenues from both the Costa and Native brands improved in the first quarter compared to the prior year.

CAD gross margins improved in the first quarter of 2010 to 57.7%.  This improvement was primarily the result of cost reduction programs the Company has implemented over the last two years, favorable foreign exchange rates and channel and product mix.  COG margins in the first quarter of 2010 were 55.5%, adversely affected primarily by the US Dollar to Japanese Yen exchange rate changes compared to the prior year and changes in product mix.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were $19.0 million, or 55.3% of sales, as compared to $18.8 million, or 61.1% of sales, a year ago, an increase of 0.8%.  The CAD segment reduced operating expenses by 2.1% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009.  The COG segment operating expenses were 6.8% higher than last year, primarily due to sales volume related expenditures and increased marketing expenses.

In the first three months of 2010 the effective tax rate was 30.1%.  In the first three months of 2009 the effective tax rate was 64.6%, which included approximately $0.8 million of income tax benefit related to the net adjustment to the accrual of tax, interest and penalties as a result of the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit of our 2005 Federal income tax return.  It also included approximately $0.1 million of income tax benefit, the realization of which was previously considered uncertain.  As a result of the IRS audit, deferred taxes increased $0.1 million.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Historically, the Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources have been its cash and cash equivalents ("cash"), short-term investments, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Company's line of credit.  These sources have been sufficient in the past to support the Company's routine operating requirements, capital projects, restructuring programs, contributions to the retirement plans, stock repurchase programs and debt service.  The Company expects its future cash needs in 2010 will be met by these historical sources of liquidity and capital.

The Company's cash and short-term investment balance of $10.0 million at April 3, 2010 decreased $7.6 million from January 2, 2010.  The most significant factors affecting the Company's cash balance are discussed in this section.

Accounts receivable decreased since the end of fiscal 2009 by approximately $4.6 million to $25.0 million.  CAD accounts receivable decreased $8.1 million and COG accounts receivable increased $3.5 million.  The decline in CAD accounts receivable was primarily due to the seasonally lower sales volume in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  The increase in COG accounts receivable was due primarily to the seasonally higher COG sales volume in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.

Inventory was $30.4 million at April 3, 2010, an increase of $5.0 million since January 2, 2010.  CAD inventory increased $3.1 million and COG inventory levels increased by $1.9 million from year end 2009.  The increase in CAD segment inventory was due to planned increases to support higher sales volumes in the last nine months of the year.  The increase in COG inventory was to support anticipated higher sales volumes, as COG typically records its highest sales in the second quarter.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company repaid $4.5 million on its line of credit.  As this line of credit matures in March 2011, it has been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt.  The Company plans to renew its line of credit for a multi-year period in 2010.

The Company contributed $1.5 million to its defined benefit pension plans and expects to contribute $0.8 million to its defined contribution retirement plans and $0.2 million to its excess benefit plan in 2010.  Additionally, the Company expects to meet or exceed its minimum funding requirements for its defined benefit plans in future years.  The Company anticipates these future funding requirements to be between $1.0 million and $2.0 million per year.

As part of the acquisition of Native Eyewear, the Company assumed the liability of future payments associated with a "settlement in lieu of future royalties."  The payments will be $0.2 million annually each January through 2012.

The Company has a $35 million secured line of credit with a bank.  Under this agreement, the Company has the option to borrow at various interest rates depending upon the type of borrowings made and the Company's consolidated leverage ratio.  The unused and available portion of this line of credit was $19.8 million at April 3, 2010 and $15.3 million at January 2, 2010.  The Company was in compliance with its various debt covenants as of April 3, 2010.  The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, computed at each year end, a maximum level of capital expenditures and a minimum ratio of adjusted EBITDA to required debt service payments over any four-quarter period, each of which is calculated in accordance with the agreement:

| | CovenantDescription             |  | CovenantRequirement                                                                                                     |  | Calculated CompanyValue April 3, 2010
| | ------------------------------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | -------------------------------------

| | Capital Expenditures            |  | Cannot exceed the greater of $10 million in a year or $10 million plus prior year expenditures less the $10 million cap |  | $1 million                           
| | Consolidated Debt Service Ratio |  | Cannot exceed 2.5 to 1                                                                                                  |  | 1.0:1                                



The Company believes that existing cash and cash provided by operations, supplemented as appropriate by the Company's borrowing arrangements, will be adequate to finance its foreseeable operating and capital requirements, the stock repurchase plan and contributions to the retirement plans.  Should operating cash flows in 2010 not materialize as projected, the Company has a number of planned alternatives to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to meet its operating needs.  These alternatives include implementation of strict cost controls on discretionary spending and delaying non-critical research and development, capital projects and completion of the stock repurchase plan.

At April 3, 2010, cash available for domestic operations was approximately $5.3 million, while cash held offshore was approximately $4.7 million.
