**ITEM 1.**

**BUSINESS**

 

 

**GENERAL**

** **

Rock of Ages is a Delaware  corporation founded in 1885 and is an integrated granite quarrier,  manufacturer and retailer whose principal product is granite memorials used  primarily in cemeteries. We believe we are the largest quarrier, manufacturer  and retailer of finished granite memorials and granite blocks for memorial  use in North America, based on revenues. We own and operate nine active  quarry properties and six manufacturing and sawing facilities in North  America, principally in Vermont and the Province of Quebec. We market and distribute our memorials on a retail  basis through approximately 80 Company-owned retail sales outlets in the  states indicated in Item 2 below. We also sell memorials wholesale to  approximately 95 independent authorized Rock of Ages retailers in the United States  as well as approximately 88 independent retailers in Canada. We  market and sell our memorials at four distinctive levels of craftsmanship at  various price points: *Classic, Deluxe, Select* and *Signature*.  Our memorials are offered in granites of various colors and are covered by a  full perpetual warranty or a limited perpetual warranty, depending on the  particular granite. We believe the *Rock of Ages* trademark is one of  the oldest and best-known brand names in the granite memorialization  industry, and we actively promote our brand name and place a seal bearing the  brand name on each memorial.

** **

*Rock of Ages, Signature,  Sealmark, American Black, Barre Gray, Bethel White, Salisbury Pink, Gardenia  White, Rockwell White,**Laurentian  Pink*and *Galactic Blue*are trade names or trademarks of the  Company. We rely on both registered and common law trademarks in the United States  and in other countries to protect the goodwill associated with these brands.

* *

From 1997 to 2005, as part  of our growth strategy, we acquired 28 retail monument companies, expanding  our retail presence to 16 states. From 1992 to 2005, we also made certain  strategic acquisitions of quarries and manufacturing properties, as well as  certain cemetery properties located in Kentucky. During the second quarter of 2002, we acquired a  1/3-equity interest in VIKA Ltd., a Ukrainian closed joint stock company that  owns rights to quarry stone known as "Galactic Blue" on certain  property located in Zhytomir, Ukraine. In connection with that purchase, we acquired  exclusive rights to sell the output of the Galactic Blue quarry. Also in  2004, we acquired Crone Monument, a memorial retailer, with two locations in the Memphis, Tennessee  area for a purchase price of $500,000. In February 2005, we acquired McColly  Memorials, a memorial retailer, with four locations in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania  area for a purchase price of $625,000. Finally in February 2005, we acquired  the land and equipment comprising the Rockwell White quarry in Rockwell, North Carolina  for a purchase price of $3.5 million.

* *

Also as part of our  strategy to own and operate profitable quarry operations where unique stones  are quarried, and to increase the profitability of our core manufacturing  operations, we sold two quarries and two non-core manufacturing facilities in  2001, and one non-core manufacturing facility in 2002. In December 2003, we  sold all of our cemetery properties and assets located in Kentucky to  Saber Management, LLC, an Indiana-based operator of cemeteries and funeral  homes, and exited the cemetery business. In November 2004, we sold the Autumn  Rose quarry located in Mill Creek, Oklahoma to AR Quarry Acquisition, LLC, for $750,000. We  sold the Kershaw Pink and Coral Gray quarries located in South Carolina  in December 2006 to New England Stone, LLC for $900,000.

* *

Beginning in the second  half of 2005, we took steps intended to improve the profitability of our  retail operations. First, we developed a staffing plan for our retail stores  that focused on the productivity of our sales force and allowed us to operate  more efficiently with a smaller managerial staff. The staffing plan and  productivity improvements were implemented beginning in September 2005 and  were substantially complete by the end of October 2005. In addition, we  closed or sold various underperforming retail locations. In October 2005, we  closed three small retail locations in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania  area and two locations in Connecticut. In December 2005, we sold four retail locations in  New Jersey for approximately $850,000, and in May 2006 we sold  two retail locations located in the Macon, Georgia area for $460,000. These four locations in New Jersey  and two locations in Georgia are now Rock of Ages authorized retailers and will  continue to sell Rock of Ages products.

* *

Early in the second quarter of 2006, we made significant  changes in the retail segment. Because of continuing sales declines and margin  erosion, management concluded that it was unlikely that there would be  significant growth in this division in the near term. Management further  concluded that the cost of the management infrastructure in the retail  division was not sustainable at current revenue and profit levels.  Accordingly, four senior positions were eliminated, a more streamlined  management structure was put in place and a "back to basics" philosophy was  adopted by the new retail division leadership.

2

 

During 2006, we had  operations in three business segments: Quarry, Manufacturing and Retail.  Included within the business segments are operations that are conducted  through unincorporated divisions of Rock of Ages and other operations that  are conducted by separately incorporated subsidiaries. Financial information  by business segment and geographic area is incorporated herein by reference  to note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this  report. In addition, information regarding the revenues of each business  segment is incorporated herein by reference to Item 7, "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."  Risks attendant to foreign operations are also incorporated herein by  reference to "Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results" in Item  1A. Additional information regarding each business segment and Rock of Ages in  general is set forth herein.

 

**STRATEGY**

** **

We seek to  enhance the overall profitability of the Company's businesses through a  strategy which includes the following principal elements:

** **
- Strategic Alliances with       Funeral Homes and Cemeteries. We have formed and will continue to pursue       strategic alliances with funeral home and cemetery owners at wholesale       and retail to sell granite memorials in cooperation with them, in order       to increase both pre-need and at-need sales of granite memorials. As of December 31, 2006, we       had referral and/or sales agency relationships with approximately 450       funeral homes and cemeteries in the areas that we service.
- Direct Sales of       Mausoleums, Estate and Civic Memorials. We expect to continue to expand       sales of private mausoleums, and estate and civic memorials direct to       the customer through our mausoleum and special features sales force       based at our Barre, Vermont, Craftsman Center, and at our own retail outlets.
- Contribution of       Company-Owned Retail Network. We will continue to evaluate, and       seek to implement, strategies with respect to our Company-owned retail       network intended to improve the Company's overall profitability and       prospects. In light of this focus on improving the contribution of our       existing retail stores, it is unlikely that we will acquire any       retailers or open new stores in 2007,or   until the point in time thereafter       that we are satisfied that our retail business model can achieve a       reasonable return on capital employed.
- Adding Independent       Authorized Dealers. We will continue to expand where appropriate our       base of independent authorized Rock of Ages retailers that are current       or potential new customers.
- Branding. We believe the       Rock of Ages brand is one of the best-known brand names in the memorial       industry. We will continue to promote and support the Rock of Ages       brand sold at our Company-owned retail outlets and independent       authorized Rock of Ages retailers.
- Acquisitions of Quarries and Distribution Rights. While we  own or control many of the highest quality granite quarries in North America,  we will continue to explore the possibility of acquiring selected granite  quarriers in North America and internationally to assure we will continue to  have the colors and grades of granites sought by retail purchasers of granite  memorials in North America, as well as granites for other uses. We will also  continue to explore the acquisition of distribution rights to certain colors  and grades of granites.
-   Personalization. We intend to  continue to expand and enhance our memorial product lines in color, design  and style. Our objective is to provide a full range of memorials available at  various price ranges.

**PRODUCTS**

** **

Our principal  products may be classified into three general product lines: granite quarry  products (with limited value added manufacturing performed), manufactured  granite products and non-granite memorials. The principal raw material for  both granite product lines is natural granite as it comes from the ground,  with the primary difference between the product lines being the extent of the  processing or manufacturing of the granite. Non-granite memorials consist  primarily of bronze markers. For each of the last three years, from 2004 to  2006, revenues derived from the sale of granite quarry products have accounted  for 39%, 33% and 32%, respectively, of consolidated revenues; and revenues  derived from the sale of manufactured granite products at wholesale and  retail have accounted for 60%, 66% and 67%, respectively, of consolidated  revenues. In each of the last three years, retail revenues derived from the  sale of non-granite memorials have accounted for 2% or less of consolidated  revenues.

**Granite Quarry Products**

** **

Our principal quarry  product is granite blocks, the raw material of the dimension granite industry.  These blocks are extracted from quarries in various sizes through a drilling,  blasting and wire sawing process in the quarry. The range of block sizes is  large, but most manufacturers of granite memorials and other products  generally require minimum dimensions of height, width and length to maximize  the efficiency of their block sawing equipment in meeting the required  dimensions of the finished product. Granite blocks are normally sold in  heights from 2'6" to 5', widths of 3' to 5', and lengths from 7' to 10'.  These blocks typically weigh between 20 and 30 tons. Our quarry revenues are  also derived, to a lesser degree, from the sale of blocks purchased from  other quarries for resale through our distribution system, and from the sale  of rough or sawn slabs.

 

Granite differs from  deposit to deposit by color, grade and/or quality. We quarry and sell blocks  of (i)*Barre Gray*granite from our Barre, Vermont quarries and gray  granite from our Stanstead, Quebec quarry, (ii) black granite from our *American  Black* quarry in Pennsylvania, (iii) pink granites from our *Laurentian  Pink* quarry in Quebec and our *Salisbury Pink*quarry in North  Carolina, and (iv) white granites from our *Bethel White* quarry in  Vermont and our *Gardenia White* and *Rockwell White*quarries in  North Carolina. We also sell black granite with prominent blue feldspar from  the *Galactic Blue* quarry in the Ukraine.

 

We sell granite blocks for  memorial, building and other uses. While each of our quarries sells granite  for memorial use and for building use, the output of the *Bethel White*  quarry, the *Gardenia White* quarry, the *Rockwell White*quarry,  the *Salisbury Pink*quarry and the *Galactic Blue*quarry are  primarily sold and used for building granite use (such as building cladding,  tiles, pavers, steps, countertops and other building products) outside North  America and the output of the other quarries is primarily used for memorial  use in North America.

 

A quarry sales force both  in and outside North America sells our granite blocks. The quarry sales force  markets and advertises our granite blocks in various trade publications and  by attending trade shows worldwide. Outside of North America, our quarry  sales force generally sells directly to the customer or to independent  distributors who buy blocks and resell them. This includes Rock of Ages Asia,  a 50% Company-owned corporation based in Osaka, Japan, which currently sells blocks for us on a  commission basis.

 

Other quarry products  include waste pieces not of a shape or size suitable for manufacturing, which  are sold for erosion control for embankments, bridges or piers, and for other  uses. In certain quarries, we have arrangements with crusher operators who  operate on or near our quarries and sell crushed stone. The revenues and  profits of these operations are not material. We have no marketing and  advertising programs for these other quarry products.

 

**Manufactured Products**

 

The principal manufactured  product of Rock of Ages is granite memorials, which are sold to retailers of  granite memorials, including Company-owned outlets, and substantially all of  which are placed in cemeteries in remembrance of the life of a person or  persons. Our memorials encompass a wide range of granites, including granite  blocks purchased from others, as well as a wide array of sizes, styles and  shapes ranging from small, inexpensive markers set flush to the ground, to  very elaborate and expensive personal mausoleums available at various price  ranges. The broad classifications of granite memorials used by the industry are  generally markers, hickeys, slants, standard uprights, estate uprights,  pre-assembled mausoleums and conventional mausoleums. We also sell public and  civic memorials not placed in cemeteries both on a wholesale basis and  directly to the customer. From time to time, memorial retailers or others  order granite products such as benches, steps and other products that may or  may not be for cemetery use. These are classified as memorial sales.

 

Rock of Ages is widely  recognized for the personalized granite memorials it produces and the very  large memorials it can produce. We have made memorials as large as  thirty-five feet in length from one block of granite, including a full size  granite replica of a Mercedes Benz automobile.

 

Our granite memorials are  sold to retailers by our memorial sales force that regularly speaks with  customers by phone and makes personal visits to customers. Our mausoleums and  special features group sells both to retailers and direct to the customer. We  provide various point of sale materials to both our owned and independent  authorized Rock of Ages retailers, and we also advertise in trade  publications.

 

Rock of Ages also  manufactures certain precision granite products which are made at our Barre, Vermont  plant. These products include surface plates, machine bases, bases for  coordinate measuring devices, press rolls and other products manufactured to  exacting dimensions. These products are sold to the manufacturers of  precision measuring devices or end users. A precision products sales force  that phones or visits customers, sells these products. We also advertise our  precision products in various trade publications and provide printed sales  materials to prospective customers.

**Retail Products**

 

Our retail stores market  and sell granite, bronze and marble memorials primarily to consumers. We  currently own and operate approximately 80 retail outlets in 16 states. The  granite memorials sold at retail include a wide variety of sizes, styles and  shapes. We source memorials from our own plants and a number of additional  manufacturers in North America and elsewhere in the world. Our retail operations  utilize a retail sales force that markets and sells memorials through  relationships with funeral homes and cemeteries and direct meetings with  customers in their homes and at retail sales offices. We advertise and  promote retail sales through direct mail material, yellow page listings,  placing brochures at funeral homes and cemeteries, and newspaper advertising.  Our retail sales outlets have been positioned to sell branded and unbranded  memorials at all price points and qualities based on differences in granite,  size, design and level of craftsmanship. 

 

**MANUFACTURING AND RAW  MATERIALS**

 

Rock of Ages quarries and  manufactures granite in the United   States and Canada at  the locations indicated in Item 2 "Properties." We also outsource  the manufacturing of certain memorial products pursuant to supply agreements  with other manufacturers.  There were no plants acquired or material  additions to plants in 2006. We believe our manufacturing and quarrying  capacity, together with our manufacturing outsourcing arrangements, are  generally sufficient to meet anticipated production requirements for the  foreseeable future.

 

The most significant raw material  we use in our manufacturing operations is granite blocks primarily from our  quarries. We believe we have an adequate supply from our quarries to supply  our manufacturing operations. We also purchase certain colors of granite,  primarily red and black, from other quarriers. We believe there is an  adequate supply of memorial granite available from our quarries and quarries  owned by others for the foreseeable future.

 

Significant supplies used  in our manufacturing operations include industrial diamond segments for saw  blades and wires, drill steel, drill bits and abrasives. There are a number  of sources for these supplies at competitive prices.

 

We had manufacturing  backlogs of $8.9 million and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,  respectively. These backlogs occurred in the normal course of business. We do  not have a material backlog in our quarrying operations. We had retail  backlogs of approved orders of $3.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and $4.7  million as of December 31, 2005. Of the backlog orders as of December 31, 2006, we  expect 100% to be filled during the 2007 fiscal year. 

 

We do not normally maintain  a significant inventory of finished manufactured products in anticipation of  future orders in our manufacturing operations. Our retail outlets do maintain  an inventory of memorials for display and delivery purposes. Approximately  75% of our manufactured product orders and retail orders are delivered within  two to twelve weeks, as is customary in the granite memorial industry. The  delivery time depends on the size and complexity of the memorial. Our quarry  operations have inventories of granite blocks.

 

**RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT**

 

We do not have a research  and development department for any of our products. From time to time, we  conduct market research, as well as research on new product designs and on  equipment to improve the Company's technology. These activities are not  separately accounted for as research, and we had no expenditures classified  for financial reporting purposes as research in 2004, 2005 or 2006.

 

**COMPETITION**

 

The dimension stone  industry is highly competitive. We compete with other dimension stone  quarriers, including quarriers of granite, marble, limestone, travertine and  other natural stones. We also compete with manufacturers of so-called "engineered  stone" as well as manufacturers of other building materials like  concrete, aluminum, glass, wood and other materials. The competition with  providers of these materials is based on price, availability of supply,  end-user preference for certain colors, patterns or textures, and other  factors.

5
 

 

The granite memorial  industry is also highly competitive. We compete with other granite quarriers  and manufacturers in the sale of granite blocks for memorial use, and  finished memorials, on the basis of price, color, quality, geographic  proximity, service, design, production capability, availability of supply and  delivery options. All of our colors of granite are subject to competition  from memorial grade granite blocks of similar color supplied by quarriers  located throughout the world. There are approximately 140 manufacturers of  granite memorials in North America. There are also many manufacturers of granite  memorials in India, South Africa, China and Portugal that sell finished memorials in North America.

 

Our quarrying and  manufacturing competitors include both domestic and international companies,  some of which may have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing  and other resources than we have. Foreign competitors may have access to  lower cost labor and extensive commercial deposits of memorial and building  grade granite, and may be subject to less restrictive regulatory  requirements. For example, companies in South   Africa, India, China and Portugal  manufacture and export finished granite memorials into North America,  which compete with our products.

 

The competition for retail  sales of granite memorials faced by our retail outlets is also intense and is  based on price, quality, service, design, availability, store location and  breadth of product line. Competitors include funeral home and cemetery  owners, including consolidators, which have greater financial resources than  we have, as well as approximately 3,000 independent retailers of granite  memorials.

 

**PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND  LICENSES**

** **

We hold a number of  domestic and foreign patents, trademarks and copyrights, including the  original registered trademark "Rock of Ages," which we first  registered in 1913. We believe the loss of a single patent, trademark or  copyright, other than the "Rock of Ages" trademark, would not have  a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of  operations. See Item 1A - "Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results."

 

**EMPLOYEES**

 

We had approximately 582  employees as of December 31, 2006.

 

The  collective bargaining agreements with the Granite Cutters Association and the  United Steelworkers of America, respectively, which together represent  approximately 152 employees in our Vermont manufacturing and quarrying operations, expire on April 24, 2009. We  also have collective bargaining agreements with two unions representing  approximately 59 employees in our Canadian operations. These agreements  expire on October 31, 2009 and January   31, 2010.

 

We believe our relations  with our employees are generally good, and recognize that our employees are  our most important asset.

 

**SEASONALITY**

 

Historically, our  operations have experienced certain seasonal patterns. Generally, our net sales  are highest in the second or third quarter and lowest in the first quarter of  each year due primarily to weather. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Seasonality."

 

**REGULATION  AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE**

** **

Our quarry and manufacturing operations are subject  to substantial regulation by federal, state and foreign governmental agencies  and other authorities, including OSHA, the Mine Safety and Health  Administration and similar state and Canadian authorities. Our operations are  also subject to extensive laws and regulations administered by the United  Stated Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and Canadian  authorities for the protection of the environment, including those relating  to air and water quality, noise levels, and solid and hazardous waste  handling and disposal. These laws and regulations may require us to fund  remedial action or to pay damages regardless of fault. Environmental laws and  regulations may also impose liability with respect to divested or terminated  operations even if the operations were divested or terminated many years ago.  In addition, current and future environmental or occupational health and  safety laws, regulations or regulatory interpretations may require  significant expenditures for compliance which could require us to modify our  operations. We cannot predict the effect of such laws, regulations or  regulatory interpretations on our business, financial condition or results of  operations.

**ITEM 1A.**

**RISK FACTORS**

** **

**Risk Factors That May  Affect Future Results**

** **

*The risks and  uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks  and uncertainties not presently known to us or which are currently deemed  immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition and results of  operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial  condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.*

* *

**Our credit facility with  CIT expires on****October 27, 2007****, and we will need to renew or refinance that  facility prior to that time.**

* *

Our credit facility with  CIT expires in accordance with its terms on October 27, 2007. While the  Company expects to begin discussions with its lenders on the renewal of the  credit facility during the second quarter of 2007, there can be no assurance  that we can reach agreement to renew the facility on terms satisfactory to us  or our lenders. Moreover, our lenders are under no obligation to renew the  credit facility and may refuse to do so or to offer new credit terms. If we  are unable to renew the CIT credit facility or obtain replacement financing  with other lenders prior to the expiration of the CIT credit facility, all  amounts outstanding thereunder (approximately $34 million as of December 31,  2006) will become due and payable in full on October 27, 2007, which would materially  impact our liquidity and financial condition and could require us to cease  operations or seek protection under state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy  laws.

 

**Our credit facility with  CIT includes restrictions on our business operations that we must comply  with, and financial tests that we must meet, in order to continue to borrow  under the facility to support our operations.**

 

The terms of our credit  facility with CIT restrict our ability to, among other things, consummate  asset sales, participate in mergers, incur additional debt, pay dividends,  repurchase stock or make investments or guarantees. The terms also contain  covenants that require us to meet financial tests, including a minimum  Operating Cash Flow to Debt Service Ratio and a maximum Total Liabilities to  Net Worth Ratio, in order to continue to borrow under the facility and avoid  a default that might lead to an early termination of the facility. The terms  of this credit facility, including these covenants, are generally described  in Item 7 of this report under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources  - Credit Facility."

 

As described under such  caption, we were in violation of the Minimum Operating Cash Flow to Debt  Service Coverage Ratio covenant levels primarily as a result of poor  operating results for 2005 and 2006. During 2005 and 2006, we received  waivers allowing us to be in compliance with the covenants in our credit  facility and our lenders agreed to adjust the required covenant levels for  the balance of the term of the facility. Due to extremely adverse weather  conditions in its various markets during the first quarter of 2007, the  Company expects to be in violation of the Ratio covenant in the first quarter  of 2007. In anticipation of missing the Ratio covenant and in advance of the  end of the first quarter, the Company has obtained a waiver of the violation  of the Ratio covenant for the first quarter from the Lenders. After the  first quarter of 2007, the Company expects to be in compliance with all  existing covenants through the remaining term of the credit facility. However, we  cannot provide assurances that we will be able to maintain compliance with  the covenants in our loan facility. Moreover, if we fail to maintain  compliance with such covenants we cannot provide assurances that we will  continue to receive waivers of any non-compliance. If we are unable to comply  with the financial or other covenants of our loan facility, and we could not  obtain waivers of such non-compliance, we will likely be unable to borrow  additional amounts under the facility and amounts owed under the facility  could be accelerated and become due and payable immediately, which would materially  impact our liquidity and financial condition and could require us to cease  operations or seek protection under state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy  laws.

**If we or our independent  registered public accounting firm are unable to affirm the effectiveness of  our internal control over financial reporting in future years, the market  value of our common stock could be adversely affected.**

 

Under the current transition  rules, our management will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes Oxley Act"), to assess,  and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007,  and in subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K for subsequent years,  respectively, report on, the effectiveness of our internal control over  financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, and subsequent fiscal year end  dates, respectively. In addition, under these transition rules, our independent  registered public accounting firm must audit and report on management's  assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December  31, 2008 and subsequent fiscal year end dates, respectively, and such report  must be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending  December 31, 2008, and in subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K for  subsequent years, respectively. In 2006 we reported a material weakness  related to maintaining effective controls over the preparation, review,  presentation and disclosure of our consolidated financial statements for the  first three quarters of 2005 and all of 2004 in that our controls failed to  prevent or detect an incorrect classification of certain freight charges. We  believe this weakness has been remediated. However, we cannot provide  assurances that there are not, or will not in the future be significant  deficiencies or other material weaknesses in our internal control over  financial reporting that would be required to be reported. Accordingly, we  cannot assure you that we or our independent registered public accounting  firm will be able to report that our internal controls over financial  reporting are effective. In this event, investors could lose confidence in  the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease  in the market value of our Class A Common Stock.

 

**Changes in the  securities laws and regulations have increased, and are likely to continue to  increase, our costs, and may also adversely affect our ability to attract and  retain qualified directors.**

** **

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has  required changes in some of our corporate governance, securities disclosure  and compliance practices. Pursuant to the requirements of that Act, the SEC  and the NASDAQ Stock Market have promulgated rules and listing standards  covering a variety of subjects. Compliance with these new rules and listing  standards has increased our legal costs, and significantly increased our  accounting and auditing costs, and we expect these costs to continue to  increase, and to materially impact our financial results. In particular, we  have incurred and will continue to incur substantial expense in the on-going  evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting as we  prepare for the future applicability to us of Section 404 of the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These changes in securities laws and regulations may  make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors' and  officers' liability insurance. Likewise, these developments may make it more  difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of  directors, particularly independent directors, or qualified executive  officers.

** **

**The Pension Protection  Act may adversely affect our cash flow.**

** **

We have a qualified defined  benefit pension plan which covers eligible employees. At December 31, 2006, this plan  is underfunded, which means that promised pension  benefits could potentially exceed the funds available. In August 2006,  the Pension Protection Act (the "Act") was signed into law. Among  other things, the Act is aimed at strengthening  pension plans by requiring most pension plans to become fully funded over a  seven-year period. The new law allows employers to deduct the cost of making  additional contributions to fund the pension, provides strict funding  guidelines, and imposes a 10% excise tax on companies that fail to correct  their funding deficiencies. Compliance with the funding requirements  of the Pension Protection Act could adversely affect our cash flow.

**The profitability of the  Company depends, at least in part, on our ability to continue to successfully  execute staff productivity improvements, sales and marketing initiatives, or  other strategies, with respect to our retail division that will enhance overall  financial performance.**

 

Our ability to improve  retail profits depends in part on our ability to continue to successfully  execute store level staffing plans that will allow us to operate more  efficiently and with a smaller managerial staff and successfully implement  sales and marketing programs, including the branding program and funeral  director outreach. Our failure to execute these plans and programs or  to implement other strategies with respect to our retail division that will  increase overall profitability, will adversely affect our business and  financial results. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in this  regard.

**Improved performance of  our retail division will depend, at least in part, on our ability to form  relationships with funeral directors, cemeteries and other death care  providers.**

 

Achieving improvements in  the performance of our retail business depends in part on our ability to  successfully develop and maintain referral relationships with funeral homes,  cemeteries and other death care professionals. We cannot assure you we will  be able to successfully form or maintain these relationships in all of the  areas in which we have retail businesses. In certain cases, we may be unable  to form such relationships where our stores are in direct competition with  funeral homes and cemeteries that sell granite memorials.

 

**If we are unable to  maintain our relationships with independent retailers, our sales may not  grow and could decline. **

 

We have historically sold  our granite memorials to consumers through independent retailers. Since  we entered the retail business in 1997, we have acquired retailers with  multiple retail outlets and have opened new stores; we now have stores in 16  states. However, we are still dependent in part on our independent retailers  for the successful distribution of our products to the ultimate customer. We  have no control over the independent retailers' operations, including such  matters as retail price, advertising and marketing. Although we have taken  steps to avoid and minimize conflicts between our owned retail stores and our  independent retailers, some of our existing independent retailers have  viewed, and continue to view, our owned retail stores as competitors. In  certain cases, this has adversely affected their relationship with us and  caused them to decrease or cease their purchases of our products. In  addition, significant barriers to entry created by local heritage, community  presence and tradition characterize the granite memorial retail industry.  Consequently, we have experienced and may continue to experience difficulty  replacing retailers or entering particular retail markets in the event of a  loss of an independent retailer. We cannot assure you we will be able to  maintain our existing relationships or establish new relationships with  independent retailers. Disruption in our relationships with independent  retailers could impede our sales growth or cause sales to decline, which  would adversely affect our business and financial results. 

 

**Our international  operations may expose us to a number of risks related to conducting business  in foreign countries.**

 

We derived approximately  25% of total revenues in fiscal 2006 from sales to customers outside the United States,  including approximately 11% from sales in Canada by our Canadian subsidiary. Foreign sales are  subject to numerous risks, including currency conversion risks, limitations  (including taxes) on the repatriation of earnings, slower and more difficult  accounts receivable collection and greater complication and expense in  complying with foreign laws. Our sales of granite blocks to foreign countries  are primarily for building use and are subject to various cyclical factors in  foreign countries, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, policies of foreign  governments and numerous other factors over which we have no control.

 

In 2005, our sales of  granite blocks into China declined significantly as a result of economic  conditions in China. While we saw some signs of recovery in our Chinese  markets in 2006 and we have taken and are continuing to take steps to develop  sales to customers in other countries, we cannot assure you that sales of  granite blocks to our Chinese and other Asian customers will recover to  historic levels.

 

We own a 1/3 equity interest in VIKA, Ltd., a Ukrainian  closed joint stock company that owns the right to quarry certain stone known  as "Galactic Blue" on certain property located in Zhytomir, Ukraine. We also  acquired the worldwide right to distribute Galactic Blue. Historically,  political and governmental instability has been a feature in Ukraine, and the  political and regulatory climate is subject to rapid change. Our investment in  VIKA is subject to risks inherent in international operations, including  adverse governmental actions, political risks, expropriation of assets and the  risk of civil unrest and war. As the political and regulatory environment  changes, we may face uncertainty about the interpretation of the agreements to  which we are party and, in the event of dispute, we may have limited recourse  within the legal and political system.

 

**Employee strikes and  other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations.**

 

Our business is labor  intensive, and our workforce includes, among other employees, highly skilled  quarrying and manufacturing personnel such as stone cutters, sand blasters,  sculptors and other skilled artisans. Approximately 36% of our workforce is  unionized. Strikes or labor disputes with our unionized employees may  adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

**If we lose key  personnel, or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified  personnel, our business could suffer.**

** **

Our operations and the  implementation of our strategies to enhance overall Company profitability are  management intensive. We are substantially dependent upon the abilities and  continued efforts of Kurt M. Swenson, our Chairman, President and Chief  Executive Officer, and other senior management. Our business is also  dependent on our ability to continue to attract and retain a highly skilled  retail, quarry and manufacturing workforce, including sales managers and  counselors, stone cutters, sand blasters, sculptors and other skilled  artisans. The loss of the services of Mr. Swenson, other members of the  Company's senior management or other highly skilled personnel could adversely  affect our business and operating results.

** **

**We face intense  competition and, if we are unable to compete successfully, we may be unable  to increase our sales, which would adversely affect our business and  profitability. **

** **

The dimension stone  industry is highly competitive. We compete with other dimension stone  quarriers, including quarriers of granite, marble, limestone, travertine and  other natural stones. We also compete with manufacturers of so-called "engineered  stone" as well as manufacturers of other building materials like  concrete, aluminum, glass, wood and other materials. We compete with providers  of these materials on the basis of price, availability of supply, end-user  preference for certain colors, patterns or textures, and other factors. 

** **

The granite memorial  industry is also highly competitive. We compete with other granite quarriers  and manufacturers in the sale of granite blocks for memorial use on the basis  of price, color, quality, geographic proximity, service, design availability,  production capability, and delivery options. All of our colors of  granite are subject to competition from memorial grade granite blocks of  similar color supplied by quarriers located throughout the world. There are  approximately 140 manufacturers of granite memorials in North America.  There are also manufacturers of granite memorials in India, South Africa,  China and Portugal that sell finished memorials in North America. 

** **

Our quarrying and  manufacturing competitors include both domestic and international companies,  some of which may have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing  and other resources. Foreign competitors may have access to lower cost labor  and better commercial deposits of granite, and may be subject to less  restrictive regulatory requirements.

** **

The competition for retail  sales of granite memorials faced by our retail outlets is also intense and is  based on price, quality, service, design, availability and breadth of product  line. Competitors include funeral home and cemetery owners, including  consolidators, which have greater financial resources than we do, as well as  approximately 3,000 independent retailers of granite memorials. 

** **

We cannot assure you  domestic or foreign competition will not adversely impact our business.

** **

**The increasing trend  toward cremation, and potential declines in memorialization for other reasons,  may result in decreased sales of our products.**

** **

There is an increasing  trend toward cremation in the United    States. The latest statistics from  the National Funeral Director's Association, or NFDA, indicate cremation was  used in approximately 32% of the deaths in the United States in 2005,  compared to approximately 29% in 2003. To the extent increases in cremation  rates result in decreases in memorialization rates, this decrease will result  in a decline in our memorial sales, which will adversely affect our business  and results of operations.

** **

Our business is also  subject to the risk that memorialization rates may decline over time for  other reasons. Certain cemeteries have in the past and may in the future  limit the use of granite memorials as a memorialization option. To the extent  general memorialization rates or the willingness of cemeteries to accept  granite memorials declines, this decline could adversely affect our business.

** **

**Sales of our products  are seasonal and may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate.** 

** **

Historically, our  operations have experienced certain seasonal patterns. Generally, our net  sales are highest in the second or third quarter and lowest in the first  quarter of each year due primarily to weather. Cemeteries in northern regions  generally do not accept granite memorials during winter months when the  ground is frozen because they cannot be properly set. We typically close our Vermont and  Canadian quarries from January to late March because of increased operating  costs attributable to weather conditions. We have historically incurred an  aggregate net loss during the first three months of each calendar year. Our  operating results may vary materially from quarter to quarter due to, among  other things, acquisitions and related integration costs, changes in product  mix, shipping conditions and limitations on the timing of price increases,  making quarterly year-to-year comparisons less meaningful.

** **

**Our competitive position  could be harmed if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights.** 

** **

We believe our tradenames,  trademarks, brands, designs and other intellectual property are of great  value, and we rely on trademark, copyright and other proprietary rights laws  to protect our rights to this valuable intellectual property. Third parties  may in the future try to challenge our ownership of our intellectual  property. In addition, our business is subject to the risk of third parties  counterfeiting our products or infringing on our intellectual property rights.  We may need to resort to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual  property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of  resources. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights, most  notably the Rock of Ages trademark, could have a serious adverse effect on  our business and competitive position. 

** **

**Our business is subject  to a number of operating risks that are difficult to predict and manage.**

** **

Our quarry and  manufacturing operations are subject to numerous risks and hazards inherent  in those industries, including among others, unanticipated surface or  underground conditions, varying saleable granite recovery rates due to  natural cracks and other imperfections in granite deposits, equipment  failures, accidents and worker injuries, labor issues, weather conditions and  events, unanticipated transportation costs and price fluctuations. As a  result, actual costs and expenditures, production quantities and delivery  dates, as well as revenues, may differ materially from those anticipated,  which could adversely affect our operating results.

** **

**Sales of our ancillary  products are cyclical, which may adversely affect our operating  results. **

** **

The markets for our  industrial precision products, which include machine base and surface plates  that are utilized in the automotive, aeronautic, computer, machine tool,  optical, precision grinding and inspection industries, and granite press  rolls used in the manufacture of paper, are subject to substantial cyclical  variations. Sales of these products are subject to decline as a result of  general economic downturns, or as a result of uncertainties regarding current  and future economic conditions that generally affect such industries. We  cannot assure you changes in the industries to which we sell our precision  products will not adversely affect our operating results.

 
** **

 
**No-Call Legislation may  adversely affect our retail marketing efforts.**

 
** **

 
Our retail stores and sales  counselors are subject to the so-called "No-Call" laws, which allow  consumers to place their telephone number on a "no-call" list  maintained by various states and the federal government. At present, there  are "No-Call" laws in a majority of states in which we do business  and the federal "No-Call" law went into effect in the Fall of 2003.  Our sales counselors are unable to make telephone calls to any consumer whose  number has been placed on the applicable no-call list, subject to certain  limited exceptions. Making telephone calls to introduce the Company and set  appointments has been an important part of marketing our retail products and  services. Compliance with the "No-Call" laws could adversely affect  our retail business and results of operations.

 
 

 
**Existing stockholders  are able to exercise significant control over us.**

 
** **

 
Kurt M. Swenson and his  brother, Kevin C. Swenson, collectively have 64% of the total voting power of  all outstanding shares of our common stock, and will therefore be in a  position to control the outcome of most corporate actions requiring  stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of  transactions involving a change in control of the Company.

 
 

 
**We may incur substantial  costs to comply with government regulations.**

 
 

 
Our quarry and  manufacturing operations are subject to substantial regulation under federal,  state and foreign governmental statutes and by federal, state and foreign  governmental agencies, including the federal Occupational Safety and Health  Act, the Mine Safety and Health Administration and similar state and Canadian  authorities. Our operations are also subject to extensive laws and  regulations administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency  and similar state and Canadian authorities, for the protection of the  environment, including but not limited to those relating to air and water  quality, and solid and hazardous waste handling and disposal. These laws and  regulations may require parties to fund remedial action or to pay damages  regardless of fault. Environmental laws and regulations may also impose  liability with respect to divested or terminated operations even if the  operations were divested or terminated many years ago. In addition, current  and future environmental or occupational health and safety laws, regulations  or regulatory interpretations may require significant expenditures for  compliance, which could require us to modify or curtail our operations. We  cannot predict the effect of such laws, regulations or regulatory  interpretations on our business, financial condition or results of  operations. Any material non-compliance could adversely affect our business  and results of operations. 

11

 

**Provisions of our  corporate organizational documents and****Delaware****law could  delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if it would be  beneficial to our stockholders.**

 

Certain provisions  contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws: 

 
- grant ten votes per share       to each share of Class B Common Stock;  
- divide the Board of       Directors into three classes, each of which will have a different       three-year term;  
- provide that stockholders       may remove directors from office only for cause and by a supermajority       vote;
- provide that special       meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Board of       Directors or certain Company officers and not by stockholders;  
- establish certain advance       notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors       and for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual stockholders'       meetings;  
- authorize the issuance of       preferred stock. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered,       without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,       liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could materially       adversely affect the voting power or other rights of, or be dilutive to,       the holders of our Common Stock.

 

Certain of these provisions  may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in  control or unsolicited acquisition proposals a stockholder may consider  favorable. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are  governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation  Law, which may prohibit or delay large stockholders, in particular those  owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining  with us.

In addition, Rock of Ages  owns or operates approximately eighty retail sales outlets and four  associated sand blasting facilities in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,  Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Pennsylvania,  Ohio, South Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia and  Wisconsin. In certain cases, we lease, under customary lease arrangements,  the land or other real estate associated with these outlets and facilities.  We believe these facilities are suitable and adequate for our present and  anticipated near-term needs.

 

The following table sets  forth certain information relating to our principal quarry properties. Each  of the quarries listed below: (i) is an open-pit quarry; (ii) contains  granite suitable for extraction as dimension granite for memorial or other  use; (iii) is serviced by electricity provided by local utility companies  (other than the Bethel quarry which is serviced by generators); and (iv) has  adequate and modern extraction and other equipment. We presently have no  exploration plans. We own each of the quarries listed below. In the Rockwell  quarry, we own part of the land comprising the quarry and we also lease an  additional 14 acres on which we conduct quarry operations with 10 years  remaining on the lease. We also own the Laurentian Pink quarry in Guenette, Quebec,  which produces dark pink memorial grade granite. As described in Item 1 of  this report, we also own a 1/3 interest in VIKA, Ltd., which owns the  Galactic Blue quarry in Zhytomir, Ukraine. However, while we consult from time to time on the  development of the quarry, we do not directly or indirectly operate the  quarry. The Galactic Blue quarry is currently under development and currently  produces granite in small commercial quantities. We do not expect the quarry  to achieve significant commercial production quantities in 2007. We do not  consider the Laurentian Pink, or Galactic Blue properties to be currently  significant or material to our business.

Net saleable recoverable reserves are based  on internal Company estimates, except for the reserves for the E.L. Smith,  Adam-Pirie and Bethel quarries, which are based on independent  assessments by CA Rich Consultants, Inc in 1993; and for the Gardenia White  quarry, which are based on an independent assessment by Geomapping Associates  in 1997. The Rockwell White reserves are based on information contained in a  report dated September 1993 by a geologist employed by The Marlin Group. It  is impossible to know the exact percentage of recoverable reserves that will  not be saleable as a result of natural cracks, seams, color variations, or  other natural defects in the quarry that are not discoverable through random  core drilling samples. Likewise, reductions in recovery rates of saleable  stone can dramatically increase the cost of the saleable stone making the  quarry not commercially viable. Accordingly, these quantities are purely  estimates based on observable surface area size times commercially feasible  depths for quarrying granite, adjusted for historic recovery rates. Thus, the  actual quantities and years of net saleable reserves could vary materially  from the estimates set forth in the table.

  

  

(2)

See Note 1 above. Based on internal Company  estimates using historical and current production levels.

 

 

14

 

The estimates of saleable  reserves are based on historical quarry operations, workable reserves in the  existing quarries and immediately adjacent areas, current work force sizes  and current demand. While quarry operations decrease the granite deposits,  the size of the granite deposits in which our quarries are located are large  and extend well beyond existing working quarry perimeters. We have  historically expanded quarry perimeters or opened other quarries in the  deposit as necessary to utilize reserves and we believe we have adequate  acreage for expansions as and when necessary. Currently, we have no reason to  believe we will deplete our granite reserves more quickly than is shown in  the table, assuming recovery rates and demand remain at current levels.

 

Dimension granite is not  considered a valuable mineral or commodity such as gold, nor is it traded on  any commodities exchange. The prices we charge to third parties for granite  blocks depend on characteristics such as color of and costs to quarry each  granite block, as well as market conditions. The price per cubic foot we  currently charge for our granite blocks is generally comparable to other  granite suppliers and typically does not exceed $45.

 

**ITEM 3. **

** LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS**

 

We are a party to legal  proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our  business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with  certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect  on our business or financial condition. 

 

We carry insurance with  coverages we believe to be customary in our industry. Although there can be  no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to protect us against all  contingencies, we believe our insurance protection is reasonable in view of  the nature and scope of our operations.

As of March 20, 2007, based  upon information provided by our transfer agent, there were 234 record  holders of Class A Common Stock and 28 record holders of Class B Common  Stock, which numbers do not include stockholders who beneficially own shares  held in street name by brokers.

 

Holders of the Common Stock  are entitled to receive such dividends as may be legally declared by the  Board of Directors and, in the event of dissolution and liquidation, to  receive the net assets of Rock of Ages remaining after payment of all  liabilities, in proportion to their respective holdings. Rock of Ages paid  dividends during each quarter in 2004 at a rate of $0.02 per share per  quarter, and in 2005 at a rate of $0.025 per share per quarter. In November  2005, we signed an amendment to our credit facility with our lenders, which,  in relevant part, prohibits the Company from paying dividends without their  prior consent. We did not pay dividends in 2006 and we believe it is unlikely  we will receive our lenders' consent to pay dividends in 2007 unless and  until we return to levels of profitability and cash flow sufficient to  support the payment of dividends.

**ITEM 7.**
**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**   
The following discussion  should be read in conjunction with the Selected Consolidated Financial Data  and the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related Notes,  contained elsewhere in this document.

 

**General**

 

Rock of Ages is an  integrated quarrier, manufacturer, distributor and retailer of granite and  products manufactured from granite. During 2006, we had three business  segments: quarry, manufacturing and retail. The quarry division sells  granite blocks to the manufacturing division and to outside manufacturers, as  well as to customers outside North   America. The manufacturing division's  principal product is granite memorials and mausoleums used primarily in  cemeteries, although it also manufactures some specialized granite products  for industrial applications. The retail division primarily sells granite  memorials directly to consumers. 

 

In 2006, our quarry group  had its second consecutive difficult year. Divisional operating income of  $2.4 million was down 8% from 2005, and was the lowest divisional operating  income in 22 years. The impact of lower revenues and gross margins was partly  offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. While demand  for our granites in the export market improved from the sharp decline of  2005, we encountered production and recovery challenges and were unable to  meet demand for certain of our granites. The largest decline occurred in our  Bethel White quarry, our most popular export product. In Bethel, lower  recoveries and the need to begin quarrying a new level caused insufficient  production of grade A blocks to meet demand. Salisbury Pink and Gardenia  White quarries in North Carolina, also popular with our overseas customers, saw  improved shipments in 2006. Both of theses quarries posted negative gross  margins, however, due to lower production and lower recoveries. Our Pennsylvania  Black quarry struggled with recovery challenges and as a result, shipments  and margins were down. In our Barre Gray quarry, the margin increased due to  higher productivity, but sales were down from 2005 levels. Results from our  Canadian quarries were up slightly from 2005. In December, we sold the  Kershaw quarries for $900,000, recording a gain of $614,000. We did not  actively operate this quarry during 2006, and accordingly operating results  were negligible. We report Kershaw as a discontinued operation in our  consolidated statements of operations. Shipments  and gross margin were down slightly in our Galactic Blue quarry in Ukraine. We  continue to aggressively market our products in the U.S. and  abroad and to make productivity improvements and control costs to adjust to  market conditions. We believe that the productivity challenges we encountered  in 2006 have been addressed as we move into 2007.

 

The manufacturing division  had a strong year in 2006-divisional operating income increased 54% to $2.4  million. Lower gross margins were more than offset by slightly higher  revenue and significantly lower SG&A. Monumental shipments-for both  traditional monuments and mausoleums—                        were about the same in 2006 as 2005. Demand for these projects remains strong and orders and shipments of the  lower end memorials generally sold by our authorized retailers is steady.  Industrial products shipments declined in 2006. Although the gross margin for  industrial products is higher than our overall margin, the 2006 margin for  industrial products declined in 2006. Late in 2005 we determined that  increasing our SG&A expenses in an effort to grow the business with our  authorized retailer base-a strategy we adopted late in 2004-was not  effective. We therefore took steps to reduce SG&A in line with sales.  This action did not affect our commitment to market our higher-end products.  We will continue to pursue a strategy of focusing on the mausoleum and large  features market where our product is superior and margins are generally  higher.  

 

Despite posting a net  operating loss for 2006, the retail segment delivered significantly improved  results from 2005. The $2.6 million operating loss includes $1.7 million of  restructuring charges and compares favorably with the $5.9 million loss  posted in 2005. Revenue was down 16% in 2006 compared with 2005-the decline  was 6% on a same-store basis. The gross margin, at 52.6% in 2006, improved  slightly from 2005. Through training and incentives, we continue to stress  with our sales force the importance of developing strong referral sources  through outreach programs with funeral homes and cemeteries, and of selling a  higher mix of highly customized memorials. Our minimum gross margin target  is 55%. In May 2006, we announced a change in leadership for the retail  division and recorded a restructuring charge of $1.7 million associated with  this action. Excluding this charge, retail SG&A was 32% lower in 2006  than 2005 as we continued to identify opportunities to improve our effectiveness  through a combination of headcount reductions and related operational  enhancements.

**Critical Accounting  Policies**   
General

 

Management's Discussion and  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our  Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance  with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America  (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires  management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts  of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of  contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on  historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to  be reasonable under the circumstances. Management has discussed the  development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit  Committee and our independent auditor. Actual results may differ from these  estimates.

 

An accounting policy is  deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based  on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the  estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been  used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to  occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements. 

 

Our critical accounting  policies are as follows: revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets,  valuation of deferred tax assets, and accounting for pensions and other  post-employment benefits.

 

Revenue  Recognition

 

*Quarry  Division*

 

The granite we quarry is sold both to outside  customers and used by our manufacturing group. Our quarry division recognizes  revenue from sales of granite blocks to outside customers when the granite is  shipped and invoiced from the quarry, except for cases noted below. We  generally provide a 5% discount for domestic customers if payment is made within 30  days of purchase, except in the case of December terms described below. Sales  to foreign customers are typically secured by a letter of credit.

 

At our Barre, Vermont  quarries, we allow customers to purchase granite blocks and request that we  store the blocks for them. Many of our customers do not have adequate storage  space at their facilities and want to ensure an adequate supply of blocks,  especially when the Barre quarries are closed from mid-December through  mid-March because of weather. Our quarry division recognizes revenue in  accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition ("SAB  104"). Blocks are sold when the customer selects and identifies the  block at the quarry site, requests the block be stored and they have  significant business reasons to do so. At that time, the block is removed  from our inventory, the customer's name is printed on the block, and title  and risk of loss pass to the buyer. The customer is invoiced and normal  payment terms apply, except in the case of December terms described below.  Granite blocks owned by customers remain on our property for varying periods  of time after title passes to the buyer. We retain a delivery obligation  using our trucks. However, we consider the earnings process substantially  complete because the cost of delivery service is inconsequential (less than  3%) in relation to the price. Further, under industry terms of trade, title  passes and the payment obligation is established when the block is identified  at the quarry.

 

Each December, we offer  special payment terms to our Barre quarries' customers. As noted above, from  approximately mid-December to approximately mid-March, our Barre quarries are  closed due to weather. During this time, the quarry customers' manufacturing  plants remain open, and many prefer to ensure they own blocks of a size and  quality selected by them prior to the quarries' closure. All blocks purchased  in December are invoiced on or about December 31 and, at that time, the  blocks are removed from inventory, the customer's name is printed on the  blocks, and title and risk of loss pass to the buyer. Payment terms are  one-third of the invoice amount on January 15, one-third on February 15, and  one-third on March 15. The program provides essentially the normal 30-day  payment terms during the months when the Barre quarries are closed  notwithstanding the customer purchases a three-month supply in December and  makes payments over 90 days. Customers need not use these special December  terms and may buy from inventory during the closure period on a first-come,  first-served basis with the normal 30-day payment terms.

 

*Manufacturing Division*

 

We record revenue related  to internally transferred granite only after the granite is manufactured into  a finished product and sold to an outside customer. Manufacturing revenues  related to outside customers are recorded when the finished product is  shipped from our facilities or set in the cemetery, if we are responsible for  the setting which is when the risk of ownership transfers, persuasive evidence  of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues related to finished products transferred internally to  our owned retail outlets are recorded as revenue by the retail division when  ultimately sold to an outside customer.

21

 

 

*Retail Division*

 

Retail revenues are  recorded when the finished monument is set in the cemetery, which is when  risk of ownership transfers, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and  collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Impairment of long-lived  assets

 

Our long-lived assets consist  primarily of property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for  impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying  amount of such an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets", ("SFAS No. 144").  Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant  decrease in the fair value of the underlying business or change in  utilization of property and equipment.

 

Recoverability of the undepreciated  cost of property and equipment is measured by comparison of the carrying  amount to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows the assets are  expected to generate. Those cash flows include an estimated terminal value  based on a hypothetical sale at the end of the assets' depreciation period.  Estimating these cash flows and terminal values requires management to make  judgments about the growth in demand for our products, sustainability of  gross margins, and our ability to achieve economies of scale. If assets are  considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the  amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair  value.

 

Valuation of deferred  tax assets

 

In assessing the  realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more  likely than not some portion or all of the current and deferred tax assets  will not be realized. The ultimate realization of current and deferred tax assets  depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in  which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the  scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable  income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. This assessment  is made each reporting period. At the end of the second quarter of 2005,  based on the level of taxable income and projections for future taxable  income, the Company believed it was no longer more likely than not that it  would generate the required taxable income to fully realize the benefit of  the net U.S. deferred tax assets. As such, we adjusted our  valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets to fully reserve for the  entire net U.S. deferred tax asset. At the end of 2005 and 2006,  we reached a similar conclusion, therefore we have continued to fully reserve  for the entire net U.S. deferred tax asset. We will continue to assess the  valuation allowance on a regular basis and may reduce the valuation allowance  if and/or when the Company has taxable income from its U.S.  operations in the future.

 

Accounting for pensions  and other post-employment benefits

 

We provide defined benefit pension and  other post-employment benefit plans for certain of our employees. Accounting  for these plans requires the use of actuarial assumptions including estimates  on the expected long-term rate of return on assets, discount rates and, to a  lesser extent, the rate of increase in health care costs (due to the small  number of individuals receiving this benefit). The  expected long-term rate of return has remained the same at 8% and reflects the  average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to  provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. In  2006 we increased the discount rate used to determine our liability in the  pension plans from 5.47% to 5.60% based on a bond matching model which uses  data on individual high-quality corporate bonds and the timing and amount of  the future benefit payments in our plan to develop a weighted discount rate  specific to our plan. In order to make informed assumptions, we rely on  outside actuarial experts as well as public market data and general economic  information. Any changes in one or more of these assumptions may materially  affect certain amounts reported on our balance sheet. In particular, a  decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets or a  decrease in discount rate could result in an increase in our pension  liability and a charge to equity as well as increases in pension expenses  over time.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.  158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other  Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and  132(R)", ("SFAS No. 158"). This Statement requires an employer  to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit  postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or  liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in  that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through  comprehensive income. It also requires an employer to measure the funded  status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial  position. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan  and the disclosure requirements has been implemented as of December 31, 2006.  The Company recognized a reduction of $409,400 in prepaid pension costs and  intangible assets; an increase of $3,852,362 in accrued pension and  post-retirement liabilities and a charge of $4,261,762 to accumulated other  comprehensive loss. See also note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial  Statements.

**Year Ended****December 31, 2006 Compared To Year Ended****December 31, 2005**

 

On a consolidated basis for  all segments for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, revenue declined 9%, gross profit declined 12% and total selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 21% for  reasons discussed in detail in the segment analysis below.

 

Quarry Segment Analysis

 

Revenues in our quarry  operations for the year ended December   31, 2006 declined 10% from 2005.  Shipments in 2006 were lower than 2005 in all quarries except Salisbury  and Gardenia. The Salisbury Pink and Gardenia White granites are very popular  for building purposes and we sell these granites primarily to international  customers. Demand for our Barre Gray quarry, primarily used for memorials,  continued to decline. We believe that imported granites, which generally are  less expensive, are being substituted in the lower end of the memorials  market. Shipments of our Bethel White granite were down in 2006 compared with  2005. Demand for this granite remained strong, but production challenges  limited our ability to quarry grade A product, so sales were down. Similarly,  low recoveries, development work and lower productivity in our Pennsylvania  Black quarry resulted in less product being available to ship. Finally, the  Galactic Blue granite, which is quarried by our relatively new joint venture  in the Ukraine, continues to generate interest; however,  production has been low as we continue to develop and open the quarry.

 

Gross profit dollars from  our quarry operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 declined 12% and gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased  0.6 percentage points to 20.4% from 2005. The decline in gross profit was  primarily the result of the lower margin at our Bethel  quarry, which was largely offset by the improved margin at our Barre quarry.  

 

SG&A expenses in our  quarry segment for 2006 decreased 15% from 2005 primarily due to lower salaries  and benefits as the former president of this division retired in 2006 and the  transition to new leadership was completed. 

 

Manufacturing Segment  Analysis

 

Revenues in our  manufacturing group for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 2% from 2005. The increase was primarily a result of  increased shipments from our memorials group which more than offset a decline  in precision products sales. 

 

Gross profit dollars from  the manufacturing group declined 4% and gross profit as a percentage of  revenue decreased 1.8 percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2006  compared to 2005. The decrease in gross profit margin resulted from the lower  proportion of higher-margin mausoleum and industrial products sales.

 

SG&A expenses for the  manufacturing group were down 22% from the prior year primarily as a result  of our decision late in 2005 to reduce our general sales staff. Our  expenditures for mausoleum and industrial products sales efforts were not  affected by these actions. 

 

Retail Segment Analysis

 

Revenues in our retail  operations for the year ended December   31, 2006 were down 16% from the prior  year. On a same-store basis, revenues were down 6%, or $2 million. Sales  momentum was stronger in the second half of 2006, with same store sales up  4%, or $700,000 from second half 2005.

 

Gross profit dollars for  the retail operations in 2006 were down 15% from the 2005 level. Gross profit  as a percentage of revenue was 52.6%, up 0.5% from 2005.  

 

SG&A expenses in retail  in 2006 were down 32% from the prior year, excluding restructuring costs of $1,685,000. The lower level of expenses for 2006 reflects the impact of staff reductions  taken at the end of 2005 and into early 2006, savings resulting from the  restructuring, lower marketing costs, and generally tighter expense control. These  actions were taken to assure that our cost structure in retail is sized  consistent with our revenue stream. 

24

 

 

As previously announced, we  made significant changes in the retail segment early in the second quarter of  2006. Because of continuing sales declines and margin erosion, management  concluded that it was unlikely that there would be significant growth in this  division in the near term. Management further concluded that the cost of the  infrastructure in the retail division was not sustainable at current revenue  and profit levels. Accordingly, four senior positions were eliminated, a more  streamlined management structure was put in place and a "back to basics"  philosophy was adopted by the new retail division leadership. Annual savings  from the position eliminations are expected to be approximately $1.2 million.  Improvement in revenue and margin, and additional cost reductions are also  expected, but can not be quantified. Expenses associated with severance  agreements and other restructuring charges amounted to $1,685,000, which is  separately disclosed in our consolidated statements of operations. The  payment of these will occur over the twelve-month period ending May 2007  and is being funded with cash from operations.

 

Consolidated Items

 

Unallocated corporate  overhead declined 2%, or $83,000, from the prior year.

 

In 2006, we recognized an  impairment of $100,000 on a long term note receivable which dated back to the  sale of a manufacturing plant in Elberton, Georgia in 2001. 

 

Foreign exchange loss in  2006 was $28,000 compared to $50,000 in 2005 resulting from the effect of the  fluctuating value of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar on  transactions that are originated in US dollars in our Canadian operations.

 

Interest expense increased  35% from $1.9 million to $2.6 million primarily as a result of higher  borrowings, higher interest rates and higher spreads charged by our banks in  2006 compared to 2005. During 2006, the total debt level rose by $1.6 million;  during 2005 it had increased $9.0 million. Therefore, average borrowings during  2006 were higher than 2005. The interest rates paid on our credit facility  are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, both of which increased during 2006.  The spreads over the interest rate index charged by our banks were higher on  average throughout 2006 as compared with 2005 because of the amendments to  our credit arrangements caused by our not meeting certain debt covenants.

 

The 2006 income tax expense  for 2006 was $473,000 compared with $7.6 million for 2005 despite  consolidated losses in both years. The tax expense in 2006 reflects taxes at  our Canadian subsidiary. At the end of the second quarter of 2005, based on  the level of taxable income and projections for future taxable income, the  Company determined it was no longer more likely than not that it would  generate the required taxable income to fully realize the benefit of the net U.S.  deferred tax asset. This resulted in a charge to tax expense of $9.2 million in  the second quarter of 2005. This action did not affect the cash taxes paid by  the Company. In each subsequent quarter since then, we have reached a similar  conclusion, therefore we have continued to fully reserve for the entire net U.S.  deferred tax asset. We will continue to assess the valuation allowance on a  regular basis and may reduce the valuation allowance if and/or when the  Company has taxable income from the U.S. operation in the future.

 

We had a gain from  discontinued operations of $616,000 in 2006 as a result of the sale of the  Kershaw quarries. This compares to a loss of $68,000 in 2005 from the Kershaw  operations. In December 2006, we sold the Kershaw quarries for $900,000,  recording a gain of $614,000. We had no other assets or operations held for  sale as of December 31, 2006.

** **

**Year Ended December  31, 2005 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2004**

 

On a consolidated basis for  all segments for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 revenue decreased 3%, gross profit decreased 16% and total SG&A  expenses increased 12% for reasons discussed in detail in the segment  analysis below. 

 

Quarry Segment Analysis

 

Revenues in our quarry  operations for 2005 were $28.9 million, down 18% or $6.5 million from  2004. This decline was primarily as a result of decreased shipments from  our Salisbury Pink and Gardenia White quarries to overseas customers.  Shipments from these quarries were down $6.1 million from 2004 levels. Our  export shipments declined as a result of several factors, including our  customers' existing inventory levels as well as what we believe were credit  restrictions imposed by the Chinese central bank in an effort to slow  construction spending.  Shipments from our Vermont and Pennsylvania  quarries were down approximately $425,000 from 2004 levels, despite an  improvement in the pace of sales in the fourth quarter, particularly in the Bethel, Vermont  quarry.

25

 

 

Gross profit dollars from  our quarry operations for 2005 decreased 50%, and gross profit as a percentage  of revenue decreased from 34.6% of revenue for 2004 to 21.0% of revenue for  2005. The decreases in gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage  of revenue were largely a result of higher repair and maintenance expenses,  absorption of additional expenses associated with the Rockwell quarry  acquisition in the second quarter of 2005, write-off of retired fixed assets  in the Pennsylvania quarry, lowered production due to mechanical failure of a  derrick in our Barre quarry and lower operational efficiencies associated  with a decrease in revenue.

 

SG&A expenses in our  quarry segment decreased 1%, or $50,000, in 2005 from 2004 levels.   

 

Manufacturing Segment  Analysis

 

Revenues in our  manufacturing operations for 2005 increased 12% from 2004 primarily as a  result of strong shipments of mausoleums as well as an increase in sales of  industrial products. At December 31,   2005, our backlog of mausoleum orders  and typical memorial products was $9.0 million, $850,000 higher than the December 31, 2004  level.

 

Gross profit dollars from  the manufacturing group increased 21% from the 2004 level and gross profit as  a percentage of manufacturing revenue increased 2.2 percentage points, to  28.8% for 2005. The increase in gross profit margin is a result of the  positive effect higher revenues have on reducing certain fixed costs as a  percentage of revenue in our operations, as well as higher revenues from  mausoleum and feature memorials which typically have above average gross  margins.

 

Manufacturing SG&A  expenses for 2005 increased 30% compared with 2004.  This was as a  result of an increase to the management fee charged to our Canadian  manufacturing division by the US affiliate which is offset by lower corporate  overhead, and the additional people and programs put in place to expand our  sales to current authorized retailers and to add new authorized retailers. We  have concluded that this effort has not been effective and have taken steps  to reduce the SG&A expenses.

 

Retail Segment Analysis

 

Revenues in our retail  operations for 2005 increased 2% from 2004.  We believe the increase is  a direct result of the initiatives undertaken in 2005 to improve our product  mix, implement the branding strategy, develop a marketing plan and revamp the  retail sales counselor compensation structure. Our order receipts in 2005 decreased  2% compared with 2004. Our backlog of approved and unapproved orders was  $6.6 million at December 31, 2005, down from $8.6 million at December 31, 2004.

 

Gross profit dollars from  retail operations decreased 6% from 2004 levels and gross profit as a  percentage of revenue decreased 4.8 percentage points compared with 2004. We  attribute these declines to errors in our assumptions about pricing and mix  of craftsmanship levels when we established our new branding initiative and  overhauled our pricing early in 2005.  We raised and adjusted our  pricing and targeted a return to the historical level of 55% or higher gross  margin percentage.

 

SG&A expenses from our  retail operations increased 14% for 2005 compared to 2004 and SG&A  expenses as a percentage of retail revenue increased 7.2 percentage points  from 2004.  The increase in SG&A was a result of the expenses  associated with the various investments in people and programs related to  changing  our product mix, branding strategy, marketing plan, retail  sales counselor compensation structure, pricing policy, and other  items.  While we continued to focus on the new branding and pricing  programs introduced early in 2005, during the second half of the year we  developed a retail store staffing plan that, through a combination of  headcount reductions and related operational enhancements, focuses on the  productivity of our sales force and, we believe, will allow us to operate  more efficiently with a smaller managerial staff.  We implemented the  plan during the fourth quarter and by the end of the year we had made the  associated staffing reductions and we had paid or accrued associated severance  costs.  We expected this would reduce retail SG&A expenses  approximately 15% to 20% in 2006 as compared to 2005. 

 

Consolidated Items

 

Unallocated corporate  overhead in 2005 was $5.1 million essentially unchanged from 2004.

 

In October 2005, we sold  our investment in FFS Financial, recording a gain of $350,000.

 

Foreign exchange losses in  2005 were $50,000 compared to $69,000 in 2004 resulting from the effect of  the fluctuating value of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar on transactions  that are originated in US dollars in our Canadian operations.

26

 

Interest expense increased  from $822,000 in 2004 to $1.9 million in 2005 as a result of an increase in  the amount of debt outstanding during the year and higher interest rates on  our credit facilities. The higher debt levels were due to the operating  losses sustained during 2005, the Rockwell quarry and the McColly retail  store acquisitions, and changes in working capital.

 

Income tax expense for 2005  was $7.6 million, compared with a benefit of $877,000 in 2004. In the second  quarter of 2005, the Company made the determination that, based on the  results of the previous three years coupled with current year actual and  then-projected operating results and the guidance in SFAS 109, we could not  estimate that the Company will more likely than not generate the required  taxable income to fully realize the benefit of the net U.S. deferred tax  assets the Company has generated over the years.  As such, we adjusted  our valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets to fully reserve for the entire  net U.S. deferred tax assets. After reviewing the results at the end of the  year, we continued to fully reserve for the entire net deferred tax  asset.  As required by SFAS 109, we will continue to assess the  valuation allowance on a regular basis and may reduce the valuation allowance  if and/or when the Company has taxable income from its U.S.  operations in the future.  Until or unless that occurs, we will show  essentially no tax (except for Canadian tax expense) in periods when we have  earnings, until we generate the required taxable income to fully realize the  benefit of our net U.S. deferred tax assets.  These actions do not  affect the cash taxes paid by the Company. The Company's Canadian subsidiary  provided for income taxes payable in Canada of $515,000 in 2005 compared to $473,000 in  2004. 

 

We had a gain from  discontinued operations of $9,000 in 2004 as a result of reclassifying the  results of operations of the Autumn Rose and Kershaw quarries as discontinued.  This compares to a loss of $68,000 in 2005 from the Kershaw operations. In  December 2004, we sold the Autumn Rose quarry for $750,000, with no material  gain or loss recognized.

 

**Liquidity and Capital  Resources**

* *

Historically, we have met  our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash generated by operating activities and  periodic borrowings under the commercial credit facilities described below.  Our credit facility with our Lenders expires in accordance with  its terms on October 27, 2007 and, accordingly, the entire amount due under  our credit facility is classified as a current liability as of December 31,  2006. We must enter into a new financing arrangement prior to  the expiration of the current credit facility on October 27, 2007 to ensure that  we will have adequate liquidity to meet our long-term cash requirements. We  plan to begin discussions with our lenders on the renewal of the facility  during the second quarter of 2007. See Item 1A, Risk Factors and notes 2 and 6  of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In 2006, the funded status  of our defined benefit pension plan increased by approximately $1.0 million  primarily as a result of an increase in the discount rate used to calculate  the pension benefit obligation from 5.47% to 5.60%, and higher actual returns  on the plan assets in 2006 than in 2005. We have historically contributed  between $800,000 and $1.0 million per year to the plan and we contributed  $827,000 in 2006. The Company is not required to make any additional  contributions in 2007, however we expect to contribute $740,000 to the  defined benefit plan during 2007, which, we believe, we will be able to fund  either from cash from operations or borrowing under our credit facilities.  See Item 1A, Risk Factors and note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Our primary need for  capital will be to maintain and improve our quarrying, manufacturing, and  retail facilities. We have approximately $2 million budgeted for capital  expenditures in 2007. 

 

Cash Flow 

 

At December 31, 2006, we  had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million and a working  capital deficit of approximately $1.8 million, compared to approximately $2.0  million of cash and cash equivalents and $20.6 million of working capital at  December 31, 2005. The decrease in working capital is mainly due to the  classification of the entire amount due under our credit facility as a  current liability.

 

*Cash from Operations.*Net cash used in operating activities was $448,000  in 2006 compared to $5.7 million in 2005. The primary reason for the change  is the lower net losses in 2006, (excluding the effect of the significant  decrease in deferred tax assets) coupled with the decrease in accounts  receivable and other current assets and an increase in customer deposits.  Along with other working capital changes, the net effect was net cash used in  operations of a much smaller amount than the prior year.

 

Net cash used in operating  activities was $5.7 million in 2005 compared to $450,000 in 2004. The primary  reason for the change is the lower earnings in 2005 coupled with the non-cash  adjustments primarily from a decrease in customer deposits and pension  liabilities as well as other working capital changes, which had the effect of  decreasing cash from operations.

27

 

 

*Cash from Investing  Activities.* Cash flows provided by  investing activities were $296,000 in 2006 compared to cash used in investing  activities of $4.4 million in 2005. In 2006, proceeds from sale of retail operations  in Georgia and the Kershaw quarries totaled $1.3 million. In  2006 our capital spending was $1.0 million compared to $4.8 million in 2005.  In 2005 we acquired the Rockwell quarry and the McColly retail locations for  $4.1 million. These were partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of  our FFS investment of $3.9 million and retail operations in New Jersey  for $800,000.

* *

Cash flows used in  investing activities were $4.4 million in 2005 compared to $5.4 million in  2004. In 2004, our capital spending was $6.7 million. In addition, we used  $3.6 million in cash to make investments, primarily a $3.5 million investment  in FFS. This cash used was partially offset by the receipt of $5.4 million  primarily from the payment of a note, which we had received in 2003 as  partial consideration for the sale of our cemeteries. Cash used in investing  activities generally comes from either borrowings under our credit facilities  or from operations.

 

*Cash from Financing  Activities*. Financing activities  provided $1.6 million in 2006 which included $2.7 million under our line of  credit less $1.1 million paid on our long-term note. This compares to $8.3  million provided by financing activities in 2005 which included $3.2 million  under our line of credit and $9.7 million on our long-term debt, less $3.9  million paid on the long-term debt and $740,000 paid in dividends. Financing  activities provided $6.3 million in 2004 as a result of increased borrowings  under our line of credit, an increase in borrowing under our long-term note  as well as cash provided from employees exercising stock options. This was  partially offset by the payment of dividends.

* *

Credit Facility

 

We have a credit facility  with the CIT Group/Business Credit and Chittenden Trust Company (the "Lenders")  that is scheduled to expire in October 2007 and is secured by substantially  all assets of the Company located in the United    States. The facility consists of an  acquisition term loan line of credit of up to $30.0 million and a revolving  credit facility of up to another $20.0 million based on eligible accounts  receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets. Pursuant to the Further  Amendment (defined below), the Lenders have placed a reserve of $2 million  against availability under the revolving credit facility with the Lenders  retaining the right to over advance at their discretion. Amounts outstanding  were $13,217,612 and $20,715,905 as of December 31, 2006 and $10,499,379 and  $21,815,193 as of December 31, 2005, on the revolving credit facility and the  term loan line of credit, respectively. Availability under the revolving  credit facility was $6,838,045 (including the $2 million reserve) and  $9,500,621 (including the $2 million reserve) as of December 31, 2006 and  December 31, 2005, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was  7.46%, 5.12% and 3.46% on the revolving credit facility in 2006, 2005 and  2004, respectively. The credit facility loan agreement places restrictions on  our ability to, among other things, sell assets, participate in mergers, incur  debt, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, repurchase stock and make  investments or guarantees, without pre-approval by the Lenders. The credit  facility agreement also contains certain covenants for a minimum Operating  Cash Flow to Debt Service Ratio (the "Ratio") and a limit on the  Total Liabilities to Net Worth Ratio of the Company.

  * *

*Minimum Operating Cash  Flow to Debt Service Ratio*. The  facility requires the ratio of the sum of earnings before interest, taxes,  depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less taxes paid and capital  expenditures, to the sum of interest and scheduled debt repayments be at  least 1.25 for any trailing twelve-month period at the end of a quarter.  Primarily as a result of significant Eurimex arbitration expenses in 2004 and  operating losses in 2004, 2005 and 2006, we have been in violation of this  covenant and have received waivers and amendments of this covenant from the  Lenders, which adjust the required covenant levels through the remaining term  of the facility. In October 2006, the Lenders amended (the "Amendment")  our credit facility and changed the method of calculating the Ratio for the  trailing four quarters by allowing the Company to exclude the $1,685,000  retail restructuring charge taken in the second quarter of 2006. The Company  was in compliance with the Ratio covenant, as calculated according to the  Amendment, at December 31, 2006.

 

Due to extremely adverse  weather conditions in its various markets during the first quarter of 2007,  the Company expects to be in violation of the Ratio covenant in the first  quarter of 2007. In anticipation of missing the Ratio covenant and in advance  of the end of the first quarter, the Company has obtained a waiver of the  violation of the Ratio covenant for the first quarter from the Lenders. Under  the waiver, the Ratio may be as low as 0.50 to 1.00. After  the first quarter of 2007, the Company expects to be in compliance with all  existing covenants through the remaining term of the credit facility.

28

 

*Total Liabilities to Net  Worth Ratio.* Our credit facility  also requires that the ratio of our total liabilities to net worth (the "Leverage  Ratio") not exceed 2.0. Pursuant to the Amendment described above, the  calculation of the Leverage Ratio was changed by excluding from that  calculation any change in tangible net worth (up to a maximum of $6,000,000)  directly resulting from the Company's compliance with SFAS No. 158. In  relevant part, SFAS No. 158 requires us to place on our books certain  unrecognized and unfunded retirement liabilities as of December 31, 2006. As  of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the Leverage Ratio  covenant as amended, and we expect to be in compliance with this covenant  throughout the remaining term of the credit facility.

 

*Interest Rates.* We have a multi-tiered interest rate structure on  our outstanding debt with the Lenders. We can elect the interest rate  structure under the credit facility based on the prime rate or LIBOR for both  the revolving credit facility and the term loan. The incremental rate above  or below prime and above LIBOR is based on our Funded Debt to Net Worth  Ratio. Based on this ratio, our current rates are 25 basis points higher than  the lowest incremental rates currently available to us. In addition, the  incremental interest rates under our credit facility were increased by a  total of 50 basis points during 2005 in connection with the amendments noted  above. Because the Company was in compliance with the terms of the amendments  noted above, effective July 2, 2006 our rates were reduced by 25 basis points. However,  in conjunction with the Amendment the rates were increased by 25 basis points  effective October 1, 2006.

 

The rates in effect as of December 31, 2006  were as follows:

(1)

Long-Term Debt consists of  various notes payable for general business use and acquisitions and estimated  interest thereon, including the acquisition term loan line of credit portion  of our credit facility. Excluding the obligation associated with the  acquisition term loan line of credit portion of our credit facility, the  remaining long-term debt obligations will be funded from cash flow from  operations. The Company expects to begin negotiating with its Lenders a  renewal of the entire credit facility (including the obligation associated  with the acquisition term loan line of credit) during the second quarter of  2007. Obligations of $13.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility at  December 31, 2006 are not included in this table.

 

 

(2)

Operating Leases are  principally for real estate and vehicles and will be funded from a  combination of cash flow from operations and our credit facilities. 

 

 

(3)

The purchase obligation  consists of a supply agreement with Adams Granite Co. The Company agreed to  purchase a minimum of $2,250,000 (+/- 10%) of monuments from Adams Granite  each year for a term of seven years with various stipulations as to  variations from the "minimum order" and pricing agreements. This  obligation will be funded from a combination of cash flow from operations and  our credit facilities. We were not in compliance with the agreement for 2006  purchases. The failure to meet the minimum order requirement was waived and  the shortfall of $225,000 was added to the minimum order obligation for 2007.  The agreement was entered into on January 11, 2002  and the remaining term is two years.

 

 

(4)

In addition to the contractual  obligations included in the table, we have obligations to fund pension,  salary continuation and other post-employment benefit plans. The actual  commitments are contingent on certain factors that are uncertain or unknown  at this time. Therefore, these obligations are not included in the table.  

 
**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**   With the exception of our operating leases, we do not have any  off-balance sheet arrangements, and we do not have, nor do we engage in,  transactions with any special purpose entities.    
**Seasonality**

 

Historically, the Company's  operations have experienced certain seasonal patterns. Generally, our net  sales have been highest in the second or third quarter and lowest in the  first quarter of each year due primarily to weather. Cemeteries in northern  areas generally do not accept granite memorials during winter months when the  ground is frozen because they cannot be properly set under those conditions.  In addition, we typically close certain of our Vermont and Canadian quarries  during these months because of increased operating costs attributable to  adverse weather conditions. As a result, we have historically incurred a net  loss during the first three months of each calendar year.

 

**Recent Accounting  Pronouncements**

 

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation  No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of  FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FIN 48").  This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement  attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax  position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides  guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting  in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is  effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are  currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of FIN 48 may have  on our financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff  Accounting Bulletin 108 ("SAB 108"), which expresses the staff's  views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements.  The interpretation addresses diversity in practice in quantifying financial  statement misstatements and the potential under current practice for the  build-up of improper amounts on the balance sheet The SEC staff believes that  registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income  statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in  quantifying a misstatement that when all relevant quantitative and  qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for the  Company's year ended December 31, 2006. The implementation of this requirement had no  impact on our financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.  157 "Fair Value Measurements", ("SFAS No. 157"). This  Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair  value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands  disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require  any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application  of this Statement will change current practice. This statement is effective  for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of  SFAS No. 157 may have on our financial statements.

30

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.  159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial  Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115", ("SFAS  No. 159"). This Statement permits entities to  choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair  value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities  that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in  earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 amends previous  guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and  held-to-maturity securities. This statement is effective for fiscal  years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any,  that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial statements.

 

**ITEM 7A. **

**QUANTITATIVE AND  QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

 

The Company has financial  instruments that are subject to interest rate risk, principally debt  obligations under its credit facilities. Historically, the Company has not  experienced material gains or losses due to interest rate changes. Based on  the Company's current variable rate debt obligations, the Company believes  its exposure to interest rate risk is not material. Based on the December 31, 2006  outstanding borrowings under the credit facility of $33.9 million, the impact  of a 1% increase in the interest rates would be approximately $340,000 a  year.

 

The Company is subject to  foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily from the operations of its  Canadian subsidiary. At December 31, 2006, the Canadian subsidiary had net assets of $10.5  million exposed to changes in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The  effect of the change in the exchange rate in 2006 was $57,000.

**ITEM 11.**

**EXECUTIVE  COMPENSATION**

 

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS**

** **

**Compensation Philosophy**

** **

The following overview  relates to the Company's overall philosophy and practices with respect to  compensation of both rank and file employees and our executive officers,  including our Named Executive Officers (as described on page 32).

** **

***Fairness and Equity***

** **

The Compensation Committee  of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee")  is primarily responsible for reviewing, approving, and overseeing the Company's  compensation plans and practices, and works with management to establish the Company's  executive compensation philosophy and programs. The general philosophy of  compensation at the Company has been and remains fairness and equity among  all employees based on responsibilities and on prevailing wage and salary  rates for similar companies in the granite industry and other industries in Northern New England where the quarrying and manufacturing operations of the Company are  primarily located. In general terms, the salaries of executive officers are  determined with regard to those of officers of other companies prevailing in  the marketplace and tested against the average salary of the Company's  unionized workers in Vermont. For example, in 2006, the average compensation  for these union employees was $40,000 per year meaning the total salary  (including deferred salary) of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Kurt Swenson,  in 2006 was 11 times the average wage paid to the Company's union employees  and his actual cash compensation received (excluding deferred salary) was  just under 9 times the average wage paid to union employees. This is in  keeping with the Company's general philosophy to keep the salary of the  executive officers within reasonable multiples of the average union worker's  salary.

34

 

** **

***Pay for Performance***

** **

The Company believes that  incentive compensation and bonuses should reward performance and the Company  has various programs which provide incentive compensation opportunities to  all employees. The Company has a productivity incentive bonus in its quarry  union contracts in Vermont based on exceeding certain production per man hour  targets and its manufacturing employees receive incentive bonuses based on  achieving targeted gross profit percentages at the divisional levels. Unionized  manufacturing employees may receive discretionary bonuses. In 2006 all  non-officer U.S. employees in the Manufacturing Division were paid  incentive bonuses. Compensation of the Company's retail sales employees is  based on achieving targeted levels of revenue. Certain retail sales  employees have sales or earnings performance incentive opportunities based on  results at the store level or hub level. Retail employees may also receive  discretionary bonuses for superior performance. Various retail employees  received incentive compensation in 2006 under these arrangements. The Company  has an annual incentive plan for its management and corporate officers  (including the executive officers) which is described below under the caption  "Components of Executive Compensation - 2006 Annual Incentive Plan."

** **

***Benefits and Other  Compensation***

** **

The Company's Manufacturing  Division and Quarry Division employees (including union employees) and the  executive officers have access to the same health care program and the  executive officers pay the same employee share as all other non-union Manufacturing  Division and Quarry Division employees. Retail Division employees are covered  under a different health care plan which provides similar benefits. The  benefits for rank and file employees and the Company's executive officers are  comparable with the exception of the fact that officers are provided Company  cars or car allowances, with the cars being available for personal use  whereas the rank and file employees do not have personal use of company  vehicles. The personal use of Company vehicles by officers is included as  additional compensation to the officers and taxed accordingly. Perquisites  and other compensation for executive officers are discussed in greater detail  below under the caption "Components of Executive Compensation-Other Information".

** **

***Retirement Benefits***

** **

The Company also provides  retirement plans and benefits to its rank and file employees, including 401(k)  defined contribution plans and, in the case of its Quarry Division,  Manufacturing Division, and corporate employees in the United States,  a defined benefit pension plan. Retail Division employees are not covered by  the defined benefit plan but are provided an enhanced 401(k) defined  contribution plan with higher employer matching payments. These plans are  intended to reward employee loyalty and provide a way for employees to plan  for and fund their retirement. The Company's Chief Executive Officer also  participates in supplemental retirement benefit plans which are intended in  part to offset the impact of certain legal limitations on the Chief Executive  Officer's ability to fully participate in the Company's retirement plans.  Retirement benefits for executive officers are discussed in greater detail  under the caption "Components of Executive Compensation-Retirement Benefits"  below.

** **

***Compensation  Committee Practices***

** **

Both management and  Compensation Committee members strive to be informed regarding general  compensation practices and trends, and each Compensation Committee member has  extensive business experience, including experience with compensation  matters. The Compensation Committee does not utilize independent  compensation consultants to evaluate the Company's executive compensation  programs and pay practices. Although many compensation decisions are made in  the first quarter of the fiscal year, the compensation planning process  neither begins nor ends with any particular Compensation Committee meeting. Compensation decisions are intended to promote the Company's fundamental  business objectives and strategy and accordingly, evaluation of management  performance and consideration of compensation programs and practices are continuous  processes.

 

35

** **

As is the case with most  companies of our size, wage and salary matters for all employees other than  officers of the Company are the primary responsibility of the Chief Executive  Officer subject only to Board review of budgets and percentage wage and  salary increases for the Company as a whole. The Chief Executive Officer  largely delegates responsibility for actual wage and salary decisions for  employees below the officer level to the executive officers to whom those  employees report, subject only to final review and approval by the Chief  Executive Officer of salary levels from time to time. The wages and benefits  for union employees are negotiated by the Executive Officers of the quarry or  manufacturing divisions subject only to final approval of the Chief Executive  Officer. With respect to officer compensation, it is the long-term practice  of the Compensation Committee to request the Chief Executive Officer to  provide salary and bonus recommendations for all officers other than himself  each year. The Compensation Committee has the absolute right to increase,  decrease or reject all recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer on  salaries for officers. The Chief Executive Officer works with the  Compensation Committee in establishing the agenda for committee meetings,  and, with the assistance of other management members, prepares meeting  information for each Compensation Committee meeting as required or  requested. The Chief Executive Officer also participates in at least a portion  of most Compensation Committee meetings at the Compensation Committee's  request to provide background information on the Company's business and  strategic objectives, his evaluation of the performance of the senior  officers, and such other information as the Compensation Committee may  request.

** **

**Components of Executive  Compensation**

** **

The Company's executive  compensation program consists of four key components: base salary, annual  bonus awards, equity-based incentives in the form of stock options, and  retirement benefits.

** **

***Base Salary***

** **

The Compensation Committee  reviews annually the Chief Executive Officer's base salary and the Chief  Executive Officer's recommendations with regard to the base salaries of the Company's  officers. When reviewing salaries, the Compensation Committee considers  individual and corporate performance in the prior year, levels of  responsibility, the importance of the individual to the attainment of the Company's  business objectives, prior experience, breadth of knowledge, and competitive  pay practices. As noted above, in the case of the executive officers, the  Compensation Committee also considers the average salary of its unionized  employees and attempts to keep executive office's' salaries within reasonable  multiples of the average unionized worker salary. In 2006, the Compensation  Committee, at the Chief Executive Officer's recommendation, did not increase  the rate of base salary paid to our executive officers from the rate in  effect in 2005, which in the case of the CEO included a voluntary reduction  of 10% of that portion of his salary paid in cash which the Compensation  Committee had approved at the CEO's request in November of 2005. The  decision not to increase salaries in 2006 was based on a determination that  while the executive officer team took steps to implement the Company's  strategic plan, they did not attain the business objectives of the Company as  a whole. In particular, the Compensation Committee took note of the fact  that the Retail Division suffered a significant loss in 2005, Quarry Division  results for 2005 were well below historic results due primarily to reduced  sales into China, and Manufacturing Division results for 2005 were  essentially flat from the prior year. When a change was made in the leadership  of the retail group in May of 2006, Richard M. Urbach was promoted to  President of the Retail Division and as such became an executive officer and  the Compensation Committee voted to raise his salary to $160,000 to reflect  his new responsibilities. In December 2006, the Compensation Committee again  decided that it would not increase executive officer salaries in 2007.

** **

***2006 Annual Incentive  Plan***

** **

The Company's business  objectives are reflected in specific goals, both corporate and divisional,  that are applicable to the Company's executive officers and the non-executive  officers and managers of each division. The Company established the 2006  Annual Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") to reward participants  for their contributions to the achievement of corporate and divisional  goals. Participants in the Incentive Plan include the Chief Executive  Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer- Quarry Division (the "Quarry  COO"), the President and Chief Operating Officer-North American  Manufacturing (the "Manufacturing COO"), the President and Chief  Operating Officer-Retail Division (the "Retail COO"), the Senior  Vice President/CFO, the Senior Vice President/General Counsel and the  non-executive officers, managers and employees of each of the Company's  operating divisions.

** **

In February 2006, the  Compensation Committee approved the Incentive Plan, which set the corporate  and divisional performance measures for each participating officer, as well  as the target award values, which are a percentage of base salary. Performance under the Incentive Plan is measured by the achievement of  certain levels of earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"),  net of incentive payments. In the case of executive officers responsible for  an operating division, EBIT targets are set at both the corporate and  divisional levels. Non—executive officers' and managers' EBIT targets in  each of the operating divisions are set based on their areas of  responsibility. Executive and non-executive officers and managers of the  corporate group, including Ms. Brock, Mr. Swenson and Mr. Tule, are set at  the corporate level only based on income before taxes. The Compensation  Committee believes these corporate and divisional goals will drive the future  success of the Company's business and thus enhance shareholder value.  Incentive Plan awards are cash payments; there is no equity component in the  Incentive Plan.

The target award values for  2006 for each executive officer under the Incentive Plan as a percentage of  base salary are shown in the table below:

***Discretionary Bonuses***

** **

The Compensation Committee  may also pay discretionary bonuses to officers if, in the Compensation Committee's  sole discretion, a participant has achieved corporate, divisional or personal  goals worthy of reward.

 

In February 2007, the  Compensation Committee reviewed the performance of the executive officers and  the financial results of the Company for 2006. No incentive payments were  paid under the Incentive Plan to any executive officer because the threshold  targets at both the divisional and corporate levels were not achieved. The  Compensation Committee voted to pay the Manufacturing COO a discretionary  bonus of $25,000 on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer in  recognition of the significant improvement in divisional results from 2005  and the fact he did not qualify for the bonus primarily as a result of the  fact that the accrual of bonuses earned under the plan by all other  manufacturing employees caused the Manufacturing results to fall below the  required EBIT threshold for the Manufacturing COO. The Compensation Committee  also voted to pay a discretionary bonus of $25,000 to the Retail COO on the  recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, in recognition of his efforts  to stop the significant losses incurred by the Retail Division during the  first half of 2006 and in recognition of the very important improvement in  the results of the Retail Division in the second half of 2006 to a profit of  about $1.1 million as compared to a loss of about $2.5 million in the second  half of 2005.

***Stock Options***

 

It is part of the Company's  compensation philosophy to provide equity based incentives for executive  officers and other employees to ensure that they are motivated over the  long-term to respond to the Company's business challenges and opportunities  as owners and not just as employees. The Company's Stock Plan was established  to provide certain Company employees with an opportunity to share, along with  the Company's stockholders, in the long term performance of the Company.  Stock options only have a realizable value to the employee if the market  price of the Company's shares appreciates in value from the date the stock  options are granted. Historically, the Company has granted stock options  which vest based upon continued employment with the Company, typically over a  three to five year period. All options are granted with maximum terms that  expire ten years after the date of grant (or earlier upon a termination of  the option holder's employment).

 

On October 27, 2005, the  Compensation Committee voted to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested and  "out of the money" stock options previously awarded to employees,  officers and directors that had exercise prices in excess of $5.29, the  closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock on October 27, 2005, the  effective date of the acceleration. Options to purchase 333,600 shares became  exercisable immediately. These represent all of the total outstanding  unvested option shares and approximately 60% of the total outstanding option  shares. The weighted average exercise price of the accelerated options at the  time of acceleration was $6.61 per share. In addition, in order to prevent  unintended personal benefits to officers and directors, restrictions were  imposed on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options  held by those individuals. Those restrictions prevent the sale of the  shares received from the exercise of an accelerated option prior to the  original vesting date of the options. The primary purpose of accelerating  the vesting of these options was to reduce the Company's future reported  compensation expense upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Share Based Payment" in the first  quarter of 2006 with respect to the affected options.

 

The Compensation Committee  reviews annually the vesting status and number of options held by the Company's  executive officers to determine if additional grants are appropriate to  maintain long-term incentives. This review typically takes place in  February, but may take place at any time during the year. In addition,  options are typically granted to certain individuals (primarily officer and  executive officer level) when they begin employment with the Company. In  2006, the Compensation Committee met in February and determined that option  grants would not be appropriate for the Company's directors, executive  officers or any other management employee at that time. The Compensation  Committee presently does not anticipate making significant option grants in  the future, primarily because of the unfavorable impact such options may have  on the Company's future reported compensation expense. Nevertheless, the  Compensation Committee may continue making such grants in circumstances where  an equity incentive will provide proper long-term motivation to an employee  to respond to business challenges and opportunities.

 

The specifics of option  holdings among our Named Executive Officers are shown at page 48 of this  report.

 

***Retirement Benefits***

 

*Defined Benefit Pension Plan*

 

In order to attract and  retain talented people, the Company provides retirement benefits to its  executive officers and all other eligible employees. The Company maintains a  qualified defined benefit pension plan (the "DB Plan") for  employees of Rock of Ages Corporation and has entered into nonqualified  salary continuation agreements with certain officers of the Company,  including the Chief Executive Officer. The DB Plan is noncontributory and  provides benefits based upon a formula calculated by reference to length of  service and final average earnings. As of December 31, 2006, the Pension  Plan provides an annual life annuity at age 65 equal to 1.8% per year of a participant's  highest consecutive five year average compensation (excluding bonus) during  the last ten years of employment" ("Final Average Compensation"),  plus 0.4% per year of a participant's Final Average Compensation in excess of  social security covered compensation times the years of service, up to a  maximum of 30 years. Participants who have attained the age of 55 and who  have at least 10 years of service may elect to receive early retirement  benefits under the DB Plan. In the case of early retirement, the amount of  the monthly pension benefit will be equal to the monthly accrued pension  benefit, determined as of the early retirement date, reduced actuarially for  each month that the early retirement date precedes the normal retirement  date. Additional information concerning the participation of executive officers  in the DB Plan is shown at page 48 of this report.

38

 

*Salary Continuation  Agreements*

 

In addition to the DB Plan,  the Company's salary continuation agreements ("SC Agreements")  provide for supplemental pension benefits to certain officers of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer is the only named executive officer who is covered by an SC Agreement. One other non-executive officer also has an SC  Agreement with the Company which was negotiated as part of the purchase of  the non-executive officer's business by the Company in 1996. The SC  Agreements provide a 100% joint and survivor annuity at age 65 equal to a  percentage, ranging from 0.6% to 1.1% of a participant's highest annual base  compensation times full years of service. A participant may elect, with the  approval of the Board of Directors, early retirement and receive benefits  under the SC Agreement without reduction as long as the participant has  attained the age of 55. At the time they were entered into, the SC Agreements  were intended to offset the impact of certain legal limitations on the Chief  Executive Officer's ability to fully participate in the Company's retirement  plans. Limits imposed by the Federal government on taxable social security  earnings and the resulting social security benefits, as well as limits placed  by the Federal Government on compensation eligible for qualified pension  purposes have the effect of decreasing the amount of retirement income  replacement for highly compensated individuals under the qualified plans. For  example, in 2006, the approximate retirement income replacement for the Company's  union employees at age 65, including social security and the union pension  plan funded by the Company's contributions, is an average of approximately  80% of salary for those with similar years of service as the Chief Executive  Officer. By contrast, the Chief Executive Officer's expected retirement  benefits payable at age 65 under the DB Plan and under social security  represent approximately 28% of current salary (includes in all cases the  $100,000 of salary currently deferred by the Chief Executive Officer under  the Deferred Salary Plan (the "DS Plan") described below). The  Chief Executive Officer's expected salary continuation benefits would  increase his total retirement payments to approximately 55% of his current  salary. 

 

With the possible exception  of the Manufacturing COO, who is a Canadian citizen and thus not eligible to  participate in the DB Plan or other US based plans, the Compensation  Committee has no plans to enter into any other SC Agreements at this time  because, as a result of recent increases in the salary caps relating to the  qualifying salary amount for pension purposes in the US and the current  salary levels and years to retirement of the executive officers, it believes  that the retirement benefits offered under the DB Plan and other plans which  are generally available to all eligible employees of the Company are adequate  at this time. In the case of the Manufacturing COO, as a Canadian citizen  resident in Canada and paid by the Company's Canadian subsidiary, there is a  shortfall in available qualified retirement benefits as compared to those  available to the executive officers resident in the United States. The  Committee will be exploring and may address this issue in 2007.

 

*Deferred Salary Plan*

 

The Company also has a  deferred salary plan (the "DS Plan") for certain management and  highly compensated employees. Participation in the DS Plan is limited to  those employees designated by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion,  and who satisfy the following criteria: (1) the employee has attained the  age of 55; (2) the employee is an executive officer; (3) the employee has  completed a minimum of ten years of continuous service with the Company; and (5)  the employee's annual base salary, fringe benefits and other non-cash  compensation exceeds $200,000 (subject to adjustment each year to reflect the  average percentage change in the base salaries of all officers of the Company). The Chief Executive Officer is the only executive officer who is currently an  eligible participant in the DS Plan. Two former executive officers who retired in 2004 and 2005, respectively, are currently being paid benefits  under the DS Plan.

 

Participants may make an  irrevocable election to defer up to $100,000 annually under the DS Plan. Any  amounts deferred are reflected in deferred salary accounts created by the  Company. Interest at the rate of 12% per annum is credited on a monthly  basis to each Participant's deferred salary account. The aggregate account  balances remain part of the general unrestricted assets of the Company.  Participants do not have any right or claim to any specific assets of the  Company, but only a claim against the Company as a general, unsecured creditor  to the extent of the undistributed portion of their deferred salary account. Benefits under the DS Plan are paid upon the retirement, death or disability  of the participant or other termination of participation, subject to certain  procedures relating to distribution. Each year prior to making a deferral  participants must elect the method of distribution that will apply to that  deferral upon retirement under the DS Plan. Participants have three  distribution options: (i) Interest only on the undistributed account balance  at 12% per annum, payable monthly, quarterly or annually for the life of the  participant or his/her spouse, with distribution of the remaining account  balance payable upon the death of the participant or his/her spouse,  whichever is later; (ii) as provided in (i) above, but subject to a term  certain of not less than 10 nor more than 20 years with respect to the  payment of interest only; or (iii) level payment amortization of the participant's  account balance as of the commencement of payments, plus interest on the  undistributed account balance at 12% per annum, over any of the time periods  available under (i) or (ii) above.

39

 

In 2002, the Chief  Executive Officer recommended to the Compensation Committee that he be  awarded no additional stock options as a result of his significant ownership  interest in Company so as to conserve available options for other employees  and requested the Compensation Committee further explore the issues relating  to his retirement benefits. As a result, the Compensation Committee has not  awarded any stock options to the Chief Executive Officer since then and he  has no stock options outstanding of any kind. Partially in response to the  Chief Executive Officer's request concerning award of stock options, the Compensation  Committee thereafter adopted the DS Plan to provide an incentive for senior  executives like the Chief Executive Officer to remain in the employ of the  Company beyond the eligible retirement age of 55 and thereby provide  continuity in management of the Company at the senior level and to further  increase the percentage of salary that Executive Officers are able to receive  after retirement to bring that percentage into parity with lower paid  employees. As of December 31, 2006, if the Chief Executive Officer were to  have retired and elected to receive interest annually on his deferred salary  account balance under the DS Plan, the interest payments would, if counted as  retirement replacement income, raise his total retirement payments from the  DB Plan, the Salary Continuation Agreement, the DS Plan and Social Security  to approximately 72% of current salary.

 

*Canadian Retirement Plan*

 

The Company has a  retirement plan for its Canadian employees, the Retirement Plan for Salaried  Employees of Rock of Ages Canada, Inc. (the "Canadian Retirement Plan")  which is registered with the Province of Quebec and the Government of  Canada. All salaried, non-union employees of Rock of Ages Canada are  participants in the Canadian Retirement Plan, including our Manufacturing COO  (Mr. Labonte). Pursuant to the Canadian Retirement Plan, Rock of Ages Canada  contributes 8% of a participant's monthly compensation each month to each participant's  account. The investments in the account are self-directed by each participant  with a range of investment options. Rock of Ages Canada may, in its  discretion, make an additional contribution to a participant's account, up to  a maximum aggregate amount of 13% of a participant's salary per year  (including amounts previously contributed during the year). For 2006,  Canadian law allowed a maximum contribution per individual to the Canadian  Retirement Plan of $19,000 CDN.

 

During 2006, the Company  contributed the full $19,000 CDN (approximately 7% of Mr. Labonte's annual  salary) allowable under Canadian law to Mr. Labonte's self-directed  retirement account under the Canadian Retirement Plan. In 2006, the Company  also made a discretionary contribution equal to $15,789 CDN to an unfunded  supplemental deferral account for the benefit of Mr. Labonte, which brought  the total amount contributed by the Company for retirement benefits for Mr. Labonte to $34,789 CDN or approximately 13% of Mr. Labonte's 2006 salary. The discretionary contribution is intended to supplement the maximum allowable contributions under Canadian law. Such contributions are currently an  unfunded liability of Rock of Ages Canada, Inc., do not earn interest and are  not at the moment subject to any written deferred compensation or salary  continuation plan. The Company is currently working with an outside benefits  consultant in Canada as well as a Canadian attorney who are assessing whether  the supplemental deferral account will be transferred to an account pursuant  to a salary continuation agreement, deferred salary agreement or other  appropriate agreement under Canadian law between the Company and Mr. Labonte  and it is expected this will be finalized by the consultant and Canadian  counsel in the second quarter and presented to the Compensation Committee  for action. Because Mr. Labonte is a Canadian citizen and not covered by the  DB Plan or any of the Company's other retirement plans, including any defined  contribution plans maintained by the Company, the Compensation Committee  believes that the contributions to the Canadian Retirement Plan and the  supplemental deferral account are appropriate benefits to take the place of  the retirement benefits offered to the Company's U.S. based executive  officers. 

 

*Post-Employment Health  Care Policy*

 

It is the Company's policy  to provide post-employment health care coverage to its executive officers and  their spouses who retire at age 55 or older. The form and type of benefits  to be provided is the coverage that is in effect for active employees from  time to time, and the retiree pays his or her portion of the premium for such  coverage, as the same may be set from time to time. The Company reserves the  right, in its sole discretion, to change or amend such coverage, the retiree's  share of the premium and/or such other terms of the coverage as it deems  necessary or advisable, or to cease providing such coverage altogether. Coverage is provided to executive officers who retire at age 55 or older and  to their spouses until they reach age 65, provided, however, that health care  coverage for a spouse terminates when the executive officer reaches (or would  have reached) age 68, regardless of whether the spouse has reached age 65.  The Compensation Committee believes that post-employment health care is an  important incentive to attract and retain top executive talent.

40

 

***Employment Agreements  and Change In Control Arrangements***

 

The Company has employment  agreements, each of which contain change in control and severance provisions,  with each of its executive officers, except the Manufacturing COO, who  voluntarily elected not to enter into such an agreement with the Company. At  the time the agreements were entered into, the Compensation Committee  believed that having employment agreements with its executive officers with  severance and other protections was an important incentive to attract top  executive talent, particularly those who were being recruited from outside  the state of Vermont. The Compensation Committee also believed, as a  matter of internal equity, that similar employment agreements should be  offered to all executive officers, whether they were recruited from outside  the Company or were existing employees. The Compensation Committee also  determined that having change in control protection in each of the employment  agreements with its executive officers was in the best interests of the  Company, in order to help assure the continued service and attention of its  executive officers in the event of a potential change in control of the  Company. The terms of the executive officer employment agreements are  described below.

 

*Chief Executive Officer*

 

The Company has an  employment agreement with Mr. Swenson (the "Swenson Employment Agreement")  for retention of his services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the  Company. The term of the Swenson Employment Agreement commenced on October  24, 1997, the date of consummation of the Company's initial public offering (the  "Commencement Date"), and continues until the fifth anniversary  thereof, provided on the third and each subsequent anniversary of the  Commencement Date such term will automatically be extended for one additional  year, unless, not later than ninety days prior to the expiration of the term,  the Company or Mr. Swenson gives notice the term will not be extended. The  Swenson Employment Agreement has been automatically extended each year since  2002 and will, subject to further automatic extension, expire in October  2009. The Swenson Employment Agreement provides for continued payment of  salary and benefits over the remainder of the term if Mr. Swenson's  employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the  Swenson Employment Agreement) or as a result of death or disability or by Mr.  Swenson for Good Reason (as defined in the Swenson Employment Agreement). The  Swenson Employment Agreement also provides for a lump sum payment to Mr.  Swenson equal to the sum of (i) accrued but unpaid salary, and a prorated  bonus amount equal to the greater of the largest annual bonus paid to Mr.  Swenson during the prior three years and the annual bonus payable in respect  of the most recently completed fiscal year (the "Highest Annual Bonus"),  through the date of termination and (ii) three times the sum of (A) his then  annual salary and (B) Highest Annual Bonus, and for continuation of benefits  for three years, if Mr. Swenson's employment is terminated by the Company  (other than for Cause, death or disability) during the twelve-month period  following, or prior to but in connection with, or by Mr. Swenson during the twelve-month  period following, a Change in Control (as defined in the Swenson Employment  Agreement). In the event of a termination related to a Change in Control, Mr.  Swenson may elect in lieu of the lump sum payment described above, either to  receive in a lump sum or over the then remaining term of the Swenson  Employment Agreement, an amount equal to the total amount he would have been  entitled to receive if his employment had been terminated by the Company  without Cause or by Mr. Swenson for Good Reason. If any payment or  distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Mr. Swenson under the  Swenson Employment Agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by  Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any interest or  penalties are incurred by Mr. Swenson with respect to such excise tax, then  Mr. Swenson will generally be entitled to receive an additional payment such  that after payment by Mr. Swenson of all taxes, Mr. Swenson retains an amount  of the additional payment equal to the excise tax imposed.

41

 

*Other  Executive Officers*

 

The Company also has  employment agreements with the Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer,  the Retail COO, the Quarry COO and Senior Vice President/General Counsel  (collectively, the "Employment Agreements"). In the case of the  Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and the Retail COO, the  Employment Agreements provide for continued payment of salary over a period  of 12 months if employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as  defined in the Employment Agreements) or if the employee terminates the  Employment Agreement for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment  Agreements). In such event, such Employment Agreements also provide for (i)  payment of earned, but unpaid bonus, prorated to the date of termination; and  (ii) continuation of health care coverage for a period of 12 months after  such a termination of employment. In the case of the Senior Vice  President/General Counsel and the Quarry COO, the Employment Agreements provide  for continued payment of salary over a period of 9 months if the employee's  employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the  Employment Agreements) or if the employee terminates the Employment Agreement  for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements). In such event,  such Employment Agreements also provide for (i) payment of earned, but unpaid  bonus, prorated to the date of termination; and (ii) continuation of health  care coverage for a period of 12 months after such termination of  employment. Each of the Employment Agreements provide for a lump sum payment  to the employee (in lieu of salary continuation) equal to one times his or  her then current annual base salary if his or her employment is terminated by  the Company without Cause within 12 months of a Change in Control (as defined  by the applicable Employment Agreement) or if the employee terminates the  Employment Agreement for Good Reason within 12 months after a Change in  Control. In addition, the employee would receive the payments and/or benefits  set forth in (i) and (ii) above in the event of a termination in connection  with a Change in Control.

 

With the exception of the  Swenson Employment Agreement, none of the employment agreements described  above provide for a "gross up" if the officer becomes subject to  golden parachute excise taxes. The approximate amounts of severance benefits  which would be payable under the Swenson Employment Agreement and the  Employment Agreements (assuming such benefits were triggered as of the last  business day of 2006) are set forth under herein under the caption "Employment  Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements."

 

***Policy on Deductibility of Executive Compensation***

*** ***

Section 162m of the  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, places a limit of $1,000,000 each  on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by a public company in any  tax year with respect to the company's chief executive officer and each of  its four next highly compensated executive officers. This limit does not  apply, however, to performance based compensation, as long as certain  conditions are satisfied. Compensation levels for the Company's executive  officers have historically been well below $1,000,000, accordingly, the  Compensation Committee does not have a general policy on whether to take into  account the deductibility of compensation in determining the type and amount  of compensation payable to executive officers.

 

42

 

***Other Information***

 

With the exception of Mr. Wrabel, who resigned as an  executive officer in May 2006, the Company does not provide material  perquisites to its executive officers as part of its compensation program. The  Company provides automobiles to its officers, who are expected to engage in  significant business related travel for the Company. Officers are also allowed  personal use of company automobiles; however, in all cases (including the  Named Executive Officers) the incremental cost to the Company of such personal  use was valued at less than $10,000 per person during 2006, using the annual  lease value method set forth in Section 2238 of the Internal Revenue Code of  1986, as amended. As discussed in connection with the Summary Executive  Compensation Table on page 44 of this report, Mr. Wrabel received  reimbursement for living expenses while he was in the process of relocating to  Vermont from Houston, Texas, and reimbursement for relocation expenses, which  were negotiated as part of his employment agreement. While the moving and  relocation reimbursements were greater than those authorized under the  Company's standard relocation policy, the Compensation Committee believed that  offering such perquisites to Mr. Wrabel was necessary and appropriate to  attract an executive of his skill and experience from Houston, Texas to  Vermont. The perquisites relating to moving and relocation were, in the  Compensation Committee's opinion, appropriately limited in time, and were in  line with benefits offered by other employers to top level executives  relocating to a relatively remote area.

 

**COMPENSATION COMMITTEE  REPORT**

 

The Compensation Committee  is currently comprised of James L. Fox, Pamela G. Sheiffer, Charles M. Waite,  (Chairman) and Frederick E. Webster, Jr., each of whom is an "independent  director" under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., a  "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Section 16 of the  Exchange Act and an "outside director" within the meaning of  Section 162m of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The  Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing, approving and  overseeing the Company's compensation plans and practices, and works with  management to establish the Company's executive compensation philosophy and  programs.

**GRANT  OF PLAN BASED AWARDS**

** **

The Company established the  2006 Annual Incentive Plan (the "Incentive" Plan") to  reward participants for their contributions to the achievement of corporate  and divisional goals. Participants in the Incentive Plan include the Chief  Executive Officer, the  Quarry COO, the  Manufacturing COO,  the Retail  COO, the Senior Vice President/CFO, the Senior Vice President/General  Counsel and the non-executive officers, managers and employees of each of the  Company's operating divisions.

 

In February 2006, the  Compensation Committee approved the Incentive Plan, which set the corporate  and divisional performance measures for each participating officer, as well  as the target award values, which are a percentage of base salary.  Performance under the Incentive Plan is measured by the achievement of  certain levels of earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"),  net of incentive payments. In the case of executive officers responsible for  an operating division, EBIT targets are set at both the corporate and  divisional levels. Non-executive officers' and managers' EBIT targets in  each of the operating divisions are set based on the areas of  responsibility. Executive and non—executive officers and managers of the  corporate group, including Ms. Brock, Mr. Swenson and Mr. Tule, are set at  the corporate level only based on income before taxes. Further information  concerning the 2006 Annual Incentive Plan and the performance targets  applicable to the plan can be found under the caution "Compensation  Discussion and Analysis—Components of Executive Compensation—2006 Annual Incentive  Plan."

 

As  shown below in the following table, we did not grant any options or stock  appreciation rights to the Named Executive Officers in 2006. The following  table also shows estimated future payouts under the 2006 Annual Incentive  Plan. These are amounts that would have been paid if the applicable  performance targets were achieved. None of the individuals listed below  attained the threshold performance targets.

**PENSION BENEFITS**

 

The  Company maintains a qualified defined benefit pension plan (the "DB  Plan"), and has entered into nonqualified salary continuation agreements (the  "SC Agreements") with Mr. Swenson, the Company's Principal  Executive Officer. The DB Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based  upon length of service and final average earnings. Generally, employees age  21 with one year of continuous service are eligible to participate in the  DB Plan. Benefits under the DB Plan do not vest until the participant  has completed five years of service. Mr. Swenson's SC Agreement provides for  supplemental retirement benefits. Further information concerning the DB Plan  and the SC Agreements can be found under the caption "Compensation  Discussion and Analysis-Components of Executive Compensation-Retirement Benefits"  above, and in Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for  the Year Ended December 31, 2006. The following table further describes  pension benefits to the Named Executive Officers.

(1)

The determination of the present value of accumulated benefit under  the DB Plan and the SC Agreement is based on the accumulated benefit as of  the measurement date (December 31, 2006) and assumes that executive group  members continue to work for the Company until the earliest retirement age  for which unreduced plan benefits are payable (age 65 under the DB Plan and  age 55 under the SC Agreement). In the case of Mr. Swenson's SC Agreement,  because he has attained the age of 62, the amounts payable were determined  based on his current age. The following assumptions were also used in the  calculations:

 

 

 

Discount Rate: 

5.60%

 

Preretirement Decrements:

None

 

Postretirement Mortality:

RP2000, combined, sex  distinct

 

Form of Payment:

Life Annuity

The supplemental account is an unfunded liability  of Rock of Ages Canada, Inc., and Mr. Labonte may withdraw the funds from  that account at any time. The amounts deferred into the supplemental account  do not earn interest.

**EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS**

 

Each of our named executive  officers (except Mr. Labonte) has an employment agreement, and each  employment agreement contains severance and change in control provisions. These agreements and the severance/change in control arrangements are  described in greater detail under the caption "Compensation Discussion  and Analysis—Employment Agreements and Change In Control Arrangements",  which description is incorporated herein by reference. In addition to  providing severance benefits, the employment agreements each provide that all  future stock options granted to these officers will become fully vested and  exercisable upon the termination of their employment after a change in  control of the Company.

 

***Swenson Employment Agreement—Severance and Change In Control  Arrangements***

 

As previously discussed  herein under the caption, "Compensation Disclosure and Analysis—Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements", the Company  has an employment agreement with the President and Chief Executive Officer  (Mr. Swenson). The Swenson Employment Agreement provides for continued  payment of salary and benefits over the remainder of the term if Mr. Swenson's  employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the  Swenson Employment Agreement) or as a result of death or disability or by Mr.  Swenson for Good Reason. "Good "reason" is defined in the  Swenson Employment Agreement to mean (i) the assignment of any duties to Mr.  Swenson inconsistent in any respect with his position, authority, duties or  responsibilities as contemplated by the Swenson Employment Agreement, or any  other action which results in the diminution in his position, authority,  duties or responsibilities; (ii) failure by the Company to comply with any  provisions requiring payment or provision of a benefit to Mr. Swenson; (iii)  requiring Mr. Swenson to be based at any office or location outside of a 35  mile radius of Concord, New Hampshire; or (iv) any purported termination of  the Swenson Employment Agreement.

 

The Swenson Employment  Agreement also provides for a lump sum payment to Mr. Swenson equal to the  sum of (i) accrued but unpaid salary, and a prorated bonus amount equal to  the greater of the largest annual bonus paid to Mr. Swenson during the prior  three years and the annual bonus payable in respect of the most recently  completed fiscal year (the "Highest Annual Bonus"), through  the date of termination and (ii) three times the sum of (A) his then annual  salary and (B) Highest Annual Bonus, and for continuation of benefits for  three years, if Mr. Swenson's employment is terminated by the Company (other  than for Cause, death or disability) during the twelve-month period  following, or prior to but in connection with, or by Mr. Swenson for any  reason during the twelve-month period following, a Change in Control (as  defined in the Swenson Employment Agreement). In the event of a termination  related to a Change in Control, Mr. Swenson may elect in lieu of the lump sum  payment described above, either to receive in a lump sum or over the then remaining  term of the Swenson Employment Agreement, an amount equal to the total amount  he would have been entitled to receive if his employment had been terminated  by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Swenson for Good Reason. If any  payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Mr. Swenson  under the Swenson Employment Agreement would be subject to the excise tax  imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred  by Mr. Swenson with respect to such excise tax, then Mr. Swenson will  generally be entitled to receive an additional payment such that after  payment by Mr. Swenson of all taxes, Mr. Swenson retains an amount of the  additional payment equal to the excise tax imposed.

 

Assuming the benefits were  triggered under the Swenson Employment Agreement as of the last business day  of 2006 (December 29, 2006), the estimated lump sum severance payment to Mr.  Swenson in the event of a Change in Control would be $2,622,914, consisting  of $1,384,500 salary and bonus, $618,481 in deferred salary and interest  accumulated under the DS Plan, $312,065 in benefit continuation, and $307,868  excise tax gross up payment. If benefits under the Swenson Employment  Agreement were triggered as a result of a termination without Cause, or due  to death or disability, or as a result of a termination by Mr. Swenson for  Good Reason, the aggregate estimated severance benefits to Mr. Swenson would  be the same of stated above, except that salary would be paid to Mr. Swenson  monthly over a period of 36 months from the date of termination. Mr. Swenson  does not hold any options to purchase Company stock.

52

 

 

*Other  Executive Officers—Severance and Change In Control Arrangements*

 

As previously discussed  herein under the caption, "Compensation Disclosure and Analysis—Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements", the Company  also has employment agreements with the Senior Vice President/Chief Financial  Officer (Ms. Brock), the Retail COO (Mr. Urbach), and the Quarry COO (Mr.  Goldsmith) (collectively" the "Employment Agreements"). In the  case of the Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and the Retail COO,  the Employment Agreements provide for continued payment of salary over a  period of 12 months if employment is terminated by the Company without Cause  (as defined in the Employment Agreements) or if the employee terminates the  Employment Agreement for Good Reason. "Good reason" is defined in  the Employment Agreements as (i) any material breach by the Company of the  Employment Agreement; (ii) any material diminution in the employee's  position, authority or responsibilities with the Company; or (iii) a change  by the Company in the location of the employee's office to a new location  that is outside a radius of 50 miles from the employee's principal office. In such event, such Employment Agreements also provide for (i) payment of  earned, but unpaid bonus, prorated to the date of termination; and (ii)  continuation of health care coverage for a period of 12 months after such a  termination of employment.

 

Assuming that benefits were  triggered as a result of a Change in Control of the Company under the  Employment Agreements for Ms. Brock and Mr. Urbach as of the end of the last  business day of 2006 (December 29, 2006) and Mr. Swenson elected a lump sum  payment, the estimated lump sum severance payment to each person would be as  follows: Ms. Brock, $193,455, consisting of $185,004 salary and $8,451 in  continuation of health care costs to the Company; and Mr. Urbach, $172,086,  consisting of $160,000 salary, $2,078 in continuation of health care costs to  the Company, and $10,000 reimbursement for outplacement services. If  benefits under the Employment Agreements for Ms. Brock and Mr. Urbach were  triggered as a result of a termination without Cause, or due to death or  disability, or as a result of a termination by the employee for Good Reason,  the estimated severance benefits would be the same for each individual as set  forth above, except that the salary component of severance would be paid  monthly by the Company over 12 months instead of in a lump sum. All of the  options held by the above individuals were "out of the money" as of  December 29, 2006.

 

In the case of the Mr.  Goldsmith, the Employment Agreement provides for continued payment of salary  over a period of 9 months if his employment is terminated by the Company  without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or if he terminates  the Employment Agreement for Good Reason (as defined above). In such event,  Mr. Goldsmith's Employment Agreement also provides for (i) payment of earned,  but unpaid bonus, prorated to the date of termination; and (ii) continuation  of health care coverage for a period of 12 months after such termination of  employment. Mr. Goldsmith's Employment Agreement provides for a lump sum  payment to him (in lieu of salary continuation) equal to one times his then  current annual base salary if his employment is terminated by the Company  without Cause within 12 months of a Change in Control (as defined by the Employment  Agreement) or if Mr. Goldsmith terminates the Employment Agreement for Good  Reason within 12 months after a Change in Control. In addition, Mr. Goldsmith  would receive the payments and/or benefits set forth in (i) and (ii) above in  the event of a termination in connection with a Change in Control.

 

Assuming that benefits were  triggered as a result of a Change in Control of the Company under Mr. Goldsmith's  Employment Agreements as of the end of the last business day of 2006  (December 29, 2006), the estimated lump sum severance payment to Mr.  Goldsmith would be $196,411, consisting of $185,004 salary and $11,407 in  continuation of health care costs to the Company. If benefits under Mr. Goldsmith's  Employment Agreement were triggered as a result of a termination without  Cause, or due to death or disability, or as a result of a termination by the  Mr. Goldsmith for Good Reason, the estimated severance benefits would be the  same as set forth above, except that the salary component of severance would  be for 9 months only, equal to $138,753 paid monthly by the Company over 9  months. All of the options held by Mr. Goldsmith were "out of the money"  as of December 29, 2006.

53

 

 

On May 22, 2006, the  Company entered into a Severance Agreement and General Release with Rick Wrabel,  the Company's President-Memorials Division at that time (the "Wrabel  Severance Agreement"). Under the Wrabel Severance Agreement, Mr. Wrabel's  employment terminated effective May 5, 2006. In consideration of the  execution of a release by Mr. Wrabel in favor of the Company, the Company  agreed to continue to pay Mr. Wrabel's salary for 12 months, continue health  care coverage for 12 months (approximate cost to the Company of $8,451), and  reimburse Mr. Wrabel for outplacement expenses up to $10,000, all as provided  in his employment agreement. The Company also agreed to transfer at no cost  to Mr. Wrabel his company-owned automobile (approximate Kelley Blue Book  value of $24,970) and his notebook computer (on the Company's books,  approximate book value $1,260).

 

On May 8, 2006, the Company  entered into a Severance Agreement and General Release with Caryn Crump,  the Company's Senior Vice President/Marketing-Memorials Division at that time (the "Crump Severance Agreement"). Under the Crump  Severance Agreement, Ms. Crump's employment terminated effective May 5,  2006. In consideration of the execution of a release by Ms. Crump in favor  of the Company, the Company agreed to continue to pay Ms. Crump's salary for  12 months, continue health care coverage for 24 months or until such time as  she is covered under another plan (approximate cost to the Company $23,526,  assuming continuation for the full 24 months), and reimburse Ms. Crump for  outplacement expenses up to $5,000, all as provided in her employment  agreement. The Company also agreed to transfer at no cost to Ms. Crump her  company-owned automobile (approximate Kelley Blue Book value of $17,030) and  her notebook computer (on the Company's books, approximate book value $636).

 
**COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND  INSIDER PARTICIPATION**
** **

Mr. Fox, Ms. Sheiffer, Mr. Waite and Mr. Webster  served as members of the Compensation Committee for all of 2005. None of the  members of the Compensation Committee is currently or has ever been an  officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. None of the Company's  executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or  compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers  serving as a member of the board of directors or the Compensation Committee.

** **

**NON-EMPLOYEE  DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**

 

During  the first and second quarters of the 2006 fiscal year, directors who were not  also officers of the Company were paid annual directors' retainers at the  rate of $20,000. In July 2006, the Board of Directors voted to increase the  annual outside directors' retainer to $30,000, with the increase taking  effect in the third and fourth quarters of 2006. The Board approved the  increase to reflect the increased workload resulting from the numerous  corporate governance initiatives and requirements applicable to the Company  and all publicly traded companies. Audit Committee members were paid an  additional annual retainer fee of $2,000 and members of other committees were  paid additional annual retainers of $1,000. The committee retainers were  unchanged for 2006. The outside director's retainers and committee retainers  are paid quarterly.

 

For  the 2007 fiscal year, directors who are not also officers of the Company are  paid annual directors' retainers of $30,000.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF  CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS**

 

The following table sets  forth, as of March 20, 2007, certain information with respect to the  beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by each (i) director, (ii) Named  Executive Officer and (iii) beneficial owner of more than 5% of either class  of the outstanding Common Stock known to us, based on Securities and Exchange  Commission filings and other available information and (iv) by all directors  and executive officers of the Company as a group. This information is based  upon information received from or on behalf of the individuals or entities  named below, except as otherwise noted. The Class B Common Stock is  convertible on a share-for-share basis into Class A Common Stock. The Class B  Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share and the Class A Common Stock  is entitled to one vote per share. Beneficial ownership has been determined  in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the  information furnished or otherwise available to us, the persons and entities  named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect  to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to  applicable community property laws. Ownership percentages are based upon  4,660,800 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,738,596 shares of Class B  Common Stock outstanding as of March 20, 2007.

 

In computing the number of  shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage  ownership of such person, shares of Class A Common Stock subject to options  held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60  days of March 20, 2007 were deemed to be outstanding. Such shares were not  deemed to be outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the  percentage ownership of any other person.

On June 22, 2005 at our Annual Meeting of  Stockholders, the stockholders approved the Rock of Ages Corporation 2005  Stock Plan (the "2005 Plan"). The 2005 Plan permits awards of  stock options (including both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock  options) and restricted stock. A maximum of 550,000 shares of Class A Common  Stock may be issued under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan is administered by the  Compensation Committee, which has the authority to determine the recipients of  awards under the 2005 Plan and, subject to the 2005 Plan, the terms and  condition of such awards. The 2005 Plan replaces the Rock of Ages Corporation  1994 Stock Plan (the "1994 Plan") which expired in  November 2004. Although grants made under the 1994 Plan prior to its  expiration remain outstanding, no further grants may be made under the 1994  Plan.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS  AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE**

 

***Transactions with  Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons***

 

*Transactions With  Related Persons*

 

In connection with and  prior to its initial public offering in 1997, the Company effected a  reorganization whereby, among other things, the Company's then parent  corporation, Swenson Granite Company, Inc. ("Swenson Granite"),  was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving  corporation, and, immediately prior to such merger, Swenson Granite  distributed its curb and landscaping business to its stockholders through a  pro rata distribution of all of the member interests in a newly formed  limited liability company named Swenson Granite Company LLC ("Swenson  LLC"). Kurt M. Swenson, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief  Executive Officer, and his brother Kevin C. Swenson, each own approximately  31% of Swenson Granite LLC. Certain other executive officers and directors of  the Company collectively own approximately 9% of Swenson LLC. Kurt M. Swenson  serves as a non-officer Chairman of the Board of Swenson LLC, but has no  involvement with its day-to-day operations. Robert Pope, a holder of more  than 5% of the Class B Common Stock, is Swenson LLC's President and Chief  Executive Officer, and including shares owned by his wife and children, owns  12% of Swenson LLC. Neither Kurt M. Swenson nor any other officer or director  of the Company, receives salary, bonus, expenses or other compensation from  Swenson LLC, except for any pro rata share of earnings attributable to their  ownership interest in Swenson LLC.

 

Swenson LLC owns two  granite quarries, one in Concord, New   Hampshire and another in Woodbury, Vermont.  Both have been owned by Swenson LLC (or its predecessor Swenson Granite) for  more than 40 years. Because of the proximity of the Woodbury quarry to Barre, Vermont, the  Company provides, and may continue to provide, certain maintenance services  and parts to the Woodbury quarry and is reimbursed for the cost of such  services. During 2006, the Company received approximately $30,000 for such  maintenance services and parts. Both the Company and Swenson LLC have the  right to terminate these services at any time. The Company also purchases Concord  blocks and other products from Swenson LLC at market prices. The Company's  purchases of granite provided by Swenson LLC in 2006 were approximately $5,000.  Swenson LLC also purchases granite blocks and slabs from the Company. Such  purchases amounted to approximately $8,000 in 2006. The Company believes  these arrangements with Swenson LLC are not material and that they are on  terms as favorable, or more favorable, to the Company than would be available  from an unrelated party for comparable granite products. Both of Swenson LLC 's  quarries produce gray granite primarily for curb and landscape use. Although  Rock of Ages' gray granite from its Barre and Stanstead quarries is used  primarily for memorial use, it may be in competition with Swenson LLC in some  markets, including the supply of its gray granites for other than memorial  use. Swenson LLC has supplied its Woodbury granite to manufacturers of  government grave markers made for the Veterans' Administration for many years  and Rock of Ages has not been in the business of selling or manufacturing its  gray granites for use in Veterans markers.

 

Swenson LLC owns  approximately 5% of the common stock of Polycor, Inc. and Kurt M. Swenson has  been a director of Groupe Polycor International (Polycor, Inc.'s parent  company) and Polycor, Inc. (collectively, "Polycor") since  approximately 1991. He was not re-elected to the Groupe Polycor International  Board in 2006 but continues to be a director of Polycor, Inc. Polycor is in  the business of quarrying and manufacturing granite and marble and is engaged  in all segments of the granite market. In a recent press release, Polycor  described itself as the third largest granite company in North America.  As such, it may be deemed to compete with the Company in various markets. The  primary businesses of Polycor are cut-to-size granite for building use, for  thin slab sales, for tiles and for granite curb. Rock of Ages is not engaged  in those segments of the granite markets. Polycor sells marble and granite  blocks and slabs worldwide for all uses including monumental use and could be  deemed in competition with Rock of Ages in some markets. Most of Polycor's granites  are of different types than those of Rock of Ages, except for Polycor's gray  granite, which is located near Rock of Ages' Stanstead quarry and is  substantially identical to Stanstead gray. In 2003, Polycor sold its memorial  manufacturing equipment and exited the manufacture and sale of finished  granite memorials, but it continues to sell granite and marble blocks and  slabs for memorial use.

***Review, Approval or  Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons***

*** ***

Upon the recommendation of  the Audit Committee, in March 2007 the Company's Board of Directors adopted a  written policy under which related person transactions must be pre-approved  by the Audit Committee. Under the policy, generally a related person  transaction is any transaction, arrangement or relationship involving an  amount exceeding $75,000 between the Company and any executive officer,  director or 5% stockholder (and their family members), or any entity in which  any such person is an executive officer, director, general partner, managing  member or person in a similar position, has a 5% or greater ownership  interest, or of which such person is an employee who will receive a direct  economic benefit from the transaction. Prior to the Company entering into a  related person transaction, the Company's management must submit the proposed  transaction to the Audit Committee for consideration at a meeting. The Audit  Committee considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances available to  it, including (if applicable) but not limited to: the benefits to the  Company; the impact on a director's independence in the event the person in  question is a director, an immediate family member of a director, or an  entity in which a director is an equity holder or of which a director is an  executive officer, general partner, managing partner or a person in a similar  position; the availability of other sources for comparable products or  services; the terms of the proposed transaction; and the terms available to  unrelated third parties or to employees generally. No member of the Audit  Committee may participate in any review, consideration or approval of any  related person transaction with respect to which such member of any of his or  her immediate family members is the related person. The Audit Committee will  approve only those related person transactions that are in, or not  inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  Approval by a majority of the members of the Audit Committee (or by the  Chairman of the Audit Committee in the circumstances described below) will be sufficient to approve a related person transaction.******

*** ***

As described above, the  written policy provides that proposed related person transactions would  normally be considered by the Audit Committee at a meeting. However, the  policy includes procedures to address situations when approvals need to be  sought between scheduled Audit Committee meetings. The policy provides that  in those instances in which the Company's general counsel, in consultation  with the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Audit  Committee, determines that it is not practical or desirable for the Company  to delay seeking approval of a related person transaction until the next  scheduled Audit Committee, or until a special meeting of the Audit Committee  can be convened, the management shall submit the proposed related person  transaction to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who will have delegated  authority to consider and act on behalf of the Committee with respect to the  proposed related person transaction. In that event, the Chairman of the  Audit Committee will consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances  available to the Chairman, including (if applicable) but not limited to those  described above which would be considered by the Audit Committee at a meeting  at which the proposed related person transaction was being considered. If a  related person transaction is approved in this manner by the Chairman of the  Audit Committee, such approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its  next meeting.

*** ***

***Director Independence***

 

The  Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors, other than Mr.  Swenson and Mr. Kimball, is independent under the listing standards of The  Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Mr. Swenson serves as our Chief Executive Officer  and President and Mr. Kimball has served as a Company consultant or officer  during the last three years. Therefore, the Board of Directors determined  that neither person is independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq  Stock Market, Inc. In making its independence determinations, the Board of  Directors reviewed transactions and relationships, if any, between the  director or any member of his or her immediate family and us or one or more  of our subsidiaries or affiliates based on information provided by the  director, Company records and publicly available information.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT  REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

 

The Board of Directors 

Rock of Ages Corporation:

 

We have audited the  accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rock of Ages Corporation and  subsidiaries (a Delaware Corporation) (collectively, the "Company")  as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of  operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for  the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the  Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these  financial statements 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 the  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 Rock of Ages Corporation and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with  accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  

 

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated  financial statements, the Company changed  the manner in which it accounts for defined benefit pension and other  postretirement plans effective December 31, 2006.

 

Our audit was conducted for  the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial  statements taken as a whole.  Schedule II is presented for purposes of  additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated  financial statements.  This schedule has been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied in the audits of the basic consolidated financial  statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and, in  our opinion, is fairly stated in all material aspects in relation to the  basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

**ROCK OF AGES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

 

**(1)**

**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 

 

 

 

In this report, the terms "Company,"  "we," "us," or "our" mean Rock of Ages  Corporation and all subsidiaries included in our consolidated financial  statements. Rock of Ages was founded in 1885 and is an integrated granite  quarrier, manufacturer and retailer whose principal product is granite  memorials used primarily in cemeteries. We own and operate nine active quarry  properties and six manufacturing and sawing facilities in North America,  principally in Vermont and the Province of Quebec. We market and distribute our memorials on a retail  basis through approximately eighty Company-owned retail sales outlets in  sixteen states. We also sell memorials wholesale to approximately ninety-five  independent authorized Rock of Ages retailers in the United States  as well as approximately eighty-eight retailers in Canada.

 

 

 

 

**(a)**

**PRINCIPLES OF  CONSOLIDATION**

 

** **

** **

 

** **

The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its  wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and  transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

** **

** **

 

**(b)**

**CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS**

 

** **

** **

 

** **

For purposes of the  statement of cash flows, we consider financial instruments that are both  readily convertible to cash and so near their maturity that they present  insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates  to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $3,291,000 and $1,696,000  in foreign banks at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

** **

 
      The Company had  approximately $3,291,000 and $1,696,000 in foreign banks at December 31, 2006  and 2005, respectively.         
 

** **

The Company has cash in  restricted escrow accounts of $945,012 and $838,368 at December 31, 2006 and  2005, respectively. This cash is restricted by state regulations in order to  fulfill our obligations under pre-need purchases of monuments and lettering.

 

** **

 

 

**(c)**

**INVENTORIES**

 

** **

 

 

** **

Inventories are stated at  the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the specific annual average  cost method for the quarry segment and specific cost for the manufacturing  and retail segments.

 

** **

 

 

**(d)**

**DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION  AND AMORTIZATION**

 

** **

** **

 

** **

The Company capitalizes  significant purchases of items having expected useful lives in excess of one  year. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is  calculated using the straight-line and declining balance methods, based upon  the following estimated useful lives:

 

** **

 

 

** **

Buildings and improvements

10 to 40 years

 

** **

Leasehold improvements

Lower of the estimated  useful life or lease term

 

** **

Machinery and equipment

3 to 20 years

 

** **

Furniture and fixtures

5 to 12 years

 

** **

 

 

** **

Depreciation expense  amounted to $3,729,077, $4,223,197 and, $3,219,756 in 2006, 2005 and 2004,  respectively.

 

** **

 

 

** **

Cost depletion and  amortization of granite reserves and development costs are charged to  operations based on cubic feet produced in relation to estimated reserves of  the property. Cost depletion and amortization charged to operations amounted  to $146,501, $137,624 and $215,771 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

** **

**ROCK OF AGES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

 

**(e)**

**GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIED  INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

 

** **

 

 

** **

Identified intangible  assets (those intangible assets with definite estimated useful lives) are  recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized, using  the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. Such intangible  assets are reviewed for impairment as set forth in note 1 (l).

 

** **

 

 

** **

Goodwill is recorded when  consideration paid for a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of the  net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company  accounts for goodwill and other identified intangible assets in accordance  with Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and other  Intangible Assets", ("SFAS No. 142") which requires that  goodwill and other indefinite lived intangibles no longer be amortized, but  rather be tested annually or more frequently as impairment indicators arise.

 

** **

 

 

** **

The provisions of SFAS No.  142 require a two-step test be performed. First, the fair value of each  reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds  the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is  performed. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then the implied  fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill must be determined and compared  to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting  unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal  to the difference will be recorded.

 

** **

 

 

**(f)**

**DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS**

 

** **

The Company amortizes debt  issuance costs using the straight-line method over the term of the related  borrowing. Amortization expense was $83,783, $78,460 and $131,866 in 2006, 2005  and 2004, respectively, and is reported with interest expense in the  accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

**FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION**

 

** **

** **

 

** **

The functional currency of the  Company's Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates  the accounts of its foreign subsidiary in accordance with SFAS No. 52*,*  "Foreign Currency Translation," under which all assets and  liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at year-end.  Revenue and expense accounts are translated using weighted average exchange  rates in effect during the year. Gains or losses from foreign currency  translation are charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is  included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated financial  statements. All realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are  separately reported in the statement of operations.

**INCOME TAXES**

 

** **

** **

 

** **

The Company files its U.S.  Federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis. Rock of Ages Canada,  Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, is responsible for income taxes in Canada. Max  Mining, a wholly owned subsidiary, is responsible for income taxes in Luxembourg.

 

** **

** **

 

** **

We recognize deferred tax  assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to the  difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing  assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets  and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to  taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected  to be recovered or settled.

 

** **

 

 

** **

The ultimate realization of  deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income  during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In  assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers  whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred  tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal  of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax  planning strategies in making this assessment. This assessment is made each  reporting period.

**STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE  COMPENSATION**

 

 

 

 

 

Prior to 2006, the Company applied  the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation-Transition and Disclosures" which is an amendment of SFAS No.  123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No.  123"), and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related  interpretations in accounting for its stock plans. In the fourth quarter of  2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options  previously awarded to officers, directors and employees. The primary purpose  of accelerating the vesting of these options was to reduce the Company's  future reported compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, "Share Base"  Payment", which the Company began to apply in the first quarter of 2006.  As a result, options to purchase approximately 333,600 shares of Class A  common stock which were scheduled to vest over the next 48 months became immediately  exercisable. Restrictions were imposed on any shares received through the  exercise of accelerated options that prevent the sale of any of these shares  prior to the original vesting date of the option.  If we had elected to  recognize compensation cost for all of the plans based upon the fair value at  the grant dates for awards under those plans, consistent with the method  prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net loss and net loss per  share in 2005 and 2004 would have been as follows:

The fair value of each  option grant is estimated on the date of the grant. The per share weighted  average fair value of stock options granted during 2005 and 2004 was $4.53  and $5.48, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes  option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 3.9% and 4.34%; dividend yield of 1.67%; expected  volatility of 109% and 74%, and expected lives of seven (7) and six (6)  years, respectively. There were no stock options granted in 2006. Because  changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair  value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not  necessarily provide a reliable single value of its options and may not be  representative of the future stock price of the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

As previously noted, the  Company began to apply SFAS No. 123R in 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires that all  share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock  options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Adoption  of SFAS 123R did not have any impact on our consolidated results of  operations in 2006.

**(j)**

**PENSION AND OTHER  POST-EMPLOYMENT PLANS**

 

 

 

 

 

The Company maintains a  defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its Vermont  based non-union employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the  employee's compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute  amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in  employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as we may  determine to be appropriate.

 

 

 

 

 

We have salary continuation  plans that cover certain employees described in more detail in note 9. We  measure the cost of our obligations based on actuarial estimates and  recognize net periodic costs as employees render the necessary services to  earn the benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company also sponsors a  defined post-employment benefit health care plan for certain early retirees and  executive officers and defined post-employment benefit group life  insurance plans for all Vermont-based union and non-union employees. We  measure the cost of our obligations based on actuarial estimates and  recognize net periodic costs as employees render the services necessary to  earn the post-employment benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company adopted SFAS No.158, "Employers'  Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans —an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 87, 88, 106  and  132(R), ("SFAS No. 158"), effective December 31, 2006. See note 9 for  disclosures of the impact which this new accounting pronouncement had on the  Company's financial statements.

 

 

 

** **

**(k)**

**USE OF ESTIMATES**

 

 

 

 

 

The preparation of  financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally  accepted in the United States of    America requires management to use  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and  liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date  of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and  expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these  estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to  significant change are the estimated useful lives of property, plant and  equipment, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, actuarial assumptions  affecting pension and other post-employment plan accounting, the allowance  for doubtful accounts receivable and long-lived asset  impairments.

 

 

 

** **

**(l)**

**IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED  ASSETS**

** **

** **

** **

** **

** **

The Company accounts for  long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting  for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement  requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be  reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate  the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure  recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying  amount of an asset to estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to  be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated  future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which  the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

**REVENUE RECOGNITION**

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

*Quarry*

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

The granite we quarry is  sold to outside customers and used by our manufacturing group. Our quarry  division recognizes revenue from sales of granite blocks to outside customers  when the granite is shipped and invoiced from the quarry except for cases  noted below. We provide a 5% discount for domestic customers if payment is  made within 30 days of purchase, except in the case of December terms  described below. Sales to foreign customers are typically secured by a letter  of credit.

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

At our Barre, Vermont  quarries, we allow customers to purchase granite blocks and request that we  store the blocks for them. Many of our customers do not have adequate storage  space at their facilities and want to ensure an adequate supply of blocks,  especially when the Barre quarries are closed from mid-December through  mid-March because of weather. Our quarry division recognizes revenue in  accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition ("SAB  104"). Blocks are sold when; the customer selects and identifies the  block at the quarry site, requests the block be stored and they have  significant business reasons to do so. At that time, the block is removed  from inventory; the customer's name is printed on the block, and title and  risk of ownership passes to the buyer. The customer is invoiced and normal  payment terms apply, except in the case of December terms described below.  Granite blocks owned by customers remain on our property for varying periods  of time after title passes. We retain a delivery obligation using our trucks.  However, we consider the earnings process substantially complete because the  cost of delivery service is inconsequential (less than 3%) in relation to the  selling price. Further, under industry terms of trade, title passes and the  payment obligation is established when the block is identified at the quarry.

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

Each December, we offer  special payment terms to customers of our Barre quarries. As noted above,  from approximately mid-December to approximately mid-March, our Barre  quarries are closed due to weather. During this time', customers'  manufacturing plants remain open, and many prefer to ensure they own blocks  of a size and quality selected by them prior to 'he quarries' closure. All  blocks purchased in December are invoiced on or about December 31 and, at  that time, the blocks are removed from inventory, 'he customer's name is  printed on the blocks, and title and risk of ownership passes to the buyer.  Payment terms are one-third of the invoice amount on January 15, one-third on  February 15, and one-third on March 15. The program provides essentially the  normal 30-day payment terms during the months when the Barre quarries are  closed notwithstanding the customer purchases a three-month supply in  December and makes payments over 90 days. Customers need not use these special  December terms and may buy from inventory during the closure period on a  first-come, first-served basis with the normal 30-day payment terms.

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

*Manufacturing*

** **

** **

* *

** **

** **

We record revenue related  to internally transferred granite only after the granite is manufactured into  a finished product and sold to an outside customer. Manufacturing revenues  related to outside customers are recorded when the finished product is  shipped from our facilities or set in a cemetery, if we are responsible for  the setting which is when risk of ownership transfers to the customer,  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably  assured. Manufacturing revenues related to internally transferred  finished products to our owned retail outlets are recorded when ultimately  sold at retail to an outside customer.

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

*Retail*

** **

** **

* *

** **

** **

Retail revenues are  recorded when the finished monument is placed in a cemetery, which is when  risk of ownership transfers to the customer, persuasive evidence of an  arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured.

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

*Freight*

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

The Company accounts for  freight in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 00-10, "Accounting  for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs". While amounts charged to  customers for shipping product are included in revenues, the related costs  are classified in cost of sales.

**NET INCOME (LOSS) PER  SHARE**

** **

** **

 

** **

** **

Net income (loss) per  share, or basic earnings (loss) per share, is computed by dividing earnings  available for common shares by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during each year. Net income (loss)                         per share - diluted, or diluted  earnings (loss) per share, is computed by dividing earnings available for  common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding  during each year, adjusted to include the additional number of common shares  that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares  under stock based compensation programs had been issued. Potential common  shares are not included in the diluted income (loss) per share calculations  where the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive, such as when the  Company incurs a net loss.

**INVESTMENTS**

 

 

 

 

 

Through its wholly owned  subsidiary, Max Mining, the Company has a 1/3-equity interest in VIKA Ltd., a  Ukrainian closed stock company that owns rights to quarry stone known as  "Galactic Blue" on certain property located in the Ukraine.  This investment is accounted for under the equity method.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company owns common  stock of a public company, representing an equity interest of less than 20%,  where we do not exercise significant influence over the operating and  financial policies of the investee. This investment is accounted for as  available for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and  Equity Securities", and is carried at fair market  value with unrecognized gain or loss recorded in Other Comprehensive Loss.

**  (r)**

**WARRANTY**

 

 

 

 

 

Our memorials are covered  by a full perpetual or a limited perpetual warranty depending on the  particular granite. The Company estimates probable warranty costs at the time  revenue is recognized. The Company exercises judgment in determining its  accrued warranty liability and considers factors that may affect warranty  liability, including historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. To  date, warranty obligations have not been significant and no liability has  been accrued. 

 

 

 

 

**  (s)**

**ASSET RETIREMENT  OBLIGATIONS**

 

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for its asset  retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143, "Accounting  for Asset Retirement Obligations"  ("SFAS No. 143") and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, " Accounting for  Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," ("FIN No. 47") which  is an interpretation of SFAS No. 143. These pronouncements  relate to legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible  long-lived assets that result from acquisition, construction, development or  normal operation of a long-lived asset. We performed an analysis of such  obligations and determined they were not significant. Many of our permits to  quarry, especially in Vermont and Canada, pre-date the current remediation regulations,  therefore pre-date retirement obligations related to these quarries.

 

 

 

 

**  (t)**
**ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS**         
 

 

*Receivables—*Receivables relate to  amounts due from customers of each of our segments. The Company generally  requires collateral in the form of a deposit, the amount of which depends  upon the length of the relationship with the customer, past payment history  of the customer and other factors. In the case of most foreign transactions,  a letter of credit securing payment is required. To reduce credit risk,  credit investigations are performed prior to accepting an initial order from  most quarry and manufacturing customers. Trade accounts receivable are  recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.

 

 

 

 

 

*Allowance  for Doubtful Accounts* —  The estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is based, in large  part, upon judgments and estimates of expected losses. The Company determines  the allowance considering a number of factors, including the length of time  trade accounts receivable are past due and previous loss experience. For  quarry and manufacturing, the Company uses a method of specific  identification of problem trade accounts. For retail receivables, the Company  estimates losses using percentages based on historical loss experience applied to the aged receivables.  Accounts receivable determined to be losses are written off against the  allowance; any recoveries of receivables previously written off are credited  to the allowance when received.

 

 

 

 

**  (u)**

**FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS**

 

 

 

 

 

As of December  31, 2006, the Company's financial instruments include cash and cash  equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt. Due  to the short-term nature of these instruments, the Company's carrying value  approximates fair value. The majority of the Company's long-term debt bears  interest at variable market rates and therefore the carrying value  approximates fair value.

 

 

 

** **

**(v)**

**RECLASSIFICATIONS**

 

 

 

 

 

Certain reclassifications  have been made to prior periods as a result of current year presentation,  with no effect on net loss.

 

 

 
      Restricted cash,  as reclassified from cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $838,368, $809,532  and $710,962, respectively. As a result of this reclassification, the change  in restricted cash is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as  $28,836 and $98,570 for 2005 and 2004, respectively, and is reflected in  operating activities.         
** **

**(w)**

**RECENT ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS**

 

 

 

 

 

In July 2006, the FASB  issued FIN No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an  Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes," ("FIN  No. 48"). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and  measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement  of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also  provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,  accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation  is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are  currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of FIN 48 may have  on our financial statements.

xv

**ROCK OF AGES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

 

 

 

 

 

 

In September 2006, the Securities  Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB  No. 108"), which express's the staff's views regarding the process of  quantifying financial statement misstatements. The interpretation addresses  diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and  the potential under current practice for the build-up of improper amounts on  the balance sheet The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify  errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate  whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that when all  relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for the Company's year ended December 31, 2006. The  implementation of this requirement had no impact on our financial statements.

** **

** **

** **

** **

** **

In September 2006, the FASB  issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157").  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair  value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands  disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require  any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application  of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective  for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of  SFAS No. 157 may have on our financial statements.

** **

** **

** **

** **

** **

In February 2007, the FASB  issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and  Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115"  ("SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits  entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other  items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by  providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported  earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently  without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This  statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We  are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No.  159 may have on our financial statements.

**OPERATING MATTERS AND  LIQUIDITY**

 

 

 

 

 

During 2006, 2005 and 2004,  the Company incurred net losses of $5.4 million, $16.1 million and $3.2  million, respectively, contributing to the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2006 of  $26.8 million. Cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $5.7  million  in 2005  and, when combined with cash needs for capital  additions and other investing activities, resulted in a reduction in cash and  cash equivalents of $1.5 million  and an increase in borrowed funds of  $9.0 million during the year. Cash flow in 2006 improved, with cash flows  used in operating activities of $448,000 and cash provided by investing  activities of $191,000. A net increase in borrowed funds of $1.6 million  during the year funded the balance of the operating shortfall and resulted in  an increase of $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company took certain  steps in the second half of 2005 and during 2006, principally in our retail  business segment, to reduce expenses. These steps included productivity  improvements in the sales force allowing for reductions in managerial  staffing, marketing expense reductions, and a change in the leadership of  this segment. In addition, certain stores have been closed or sold. These  changes had a minimal benefit on the results of operations in 2005 but resulted  in a significant reduction in the selling, general and administrative  expenses, and cash requirements, of this segment in 2006. We anticipate these  savings to continue into future periods.

 

 

 

 

 

The operating results in  2005 and 2006 caused the Company to be in violation of certain covenants of  its credit facility. All such violations were waived and the credit facility  has been amended (see note 6).

 

 

 

 

 

Due to adverse  weather conditions in its various markets during the first quarter of 2007,  the Company expects to be in violation of the cash flow to debt service  covenant in the first quarter of 2007. March in particular is a critical  month given the normal adverse weather conditions in January and February.  Most monuments require a cement foundation, so our ability to set monuments  in cemeteries depends on the cemeteries allowing foundations to be poured,  which in turn is heavily dependent on weather conditions. Wide variations in  losses in the first quarter can occur depending on this factor. Heavy  late-winter snows in 2007 have caused a delay in our setting schedule,  resulting in lower than expected sales and larger losses. Largely as a result  of the sales decrease,  we expect to be in violation of the cash flow to debt service covenant in the  first quarter of 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

In anticipation of this  March 31, 2007 covenant violation, the Company has requested and obtained a  waiver from CIT, its lender of 23 years. In addition, during March, CIT indicated  its interest in beginning negotiations for renewal of the existing credit  facility, which is scheduled to expire in October 2007, during the second  quarter of 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the first  quarter, order backlogs are higher and management believes the Company's prospects  are improved over what they were at the same time in 2006. Management  believes that in 2007 the Company will operate at a profit and will generate positive  cash flows. Accordingly, except for the first quarter, we expect to be in  compliance with all existing covenants through the remaining term of the  credit facility. If the Company does not operate at cash flow levels  sufficient to comply with its loan covenants during 2007 and is unable to  renew its credit facility with CIT, or is unable to obtain a replacement  facility from another lender, the related lack of liquidity would have a  material adverse effect on the Company's operations and future prospects and  could require the Company to cease operations or seek protection under state  or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws.

In the first quarter of  2006, we performed our annual assessment of goodwill which is allocated  entirely to our quarry business segment. We calculated the fair value of the  quarry unit based on estimated expected discounted future cash flows using the  Company's weighted average cost of capital. We concluded that the quarry unit  could support the goodwill of $387,000.

 

In the third quarter of  2005, we performed our annual assessment of goodwill for the retail unit. We  calculated the fair value of the retail unit based on estimated expected  discounted future cash flows using the Company's weighted average cost of  capital. We concluded that the retail unit could not support the carrying  value of goodwill and therefore wrote off the retail goodwill of $318,000 in  the third quarter of 2005.

*Purchase Commitment*

 

 

 

In connection with the sale  of the Lawson manufacturing plant in Barre, Vermont ("Lawson")  in 2001, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement with Adams Granite Co. ("Adams").  The Company agreed to purchase a minimum of $3,000,000 of monuments from  Adams each year for a term of seven years with various stipulations as to  variations from the "minimum order" and pricing agreements. If  orders over a two-year period were less than the "minimum order,"  then the Company would at its sole option, either place orders for monuments  in the amount of the deficiency or pay Adams the gross margin that Adams  would have realized had such orders been placed and filled. The gross margin  used in this calculation would be Adams' average gross margin on sales of  monuments to the Company over the prior two-year period.

 

 

 

The Supply Agreement with  Adams was amended on January 1, 2004 reducing the minimum order obligation to  $2,250,000 per year, plus or minus 10%. The minimum order for each year will  be measured separately and any variance in one year will not be added to or  subtracted from the minimum order obligation in any subsequent year. The  remedy for placing less than the minimum order remains the same. 

 

 

 

The Supply Agreement with  Adams was further amended on January 16, 2007 waiving the Company's failure  to meet the minimum order required for 2006 and adding the $225,000 shortfall  from 2006 to the minimum order obligation for 2007. The minimum order  obligation for 2008 remains the same as under the first amendment.

 

 

 

In July 2005, a purchase  agreement was entered into with Memory Medallion Inc. ("MMI"). The agreement  with MMI was initially an exclusive distribution agreement in which the  Company had agreed to buy $1,100,000 of memory medallions over two years with  quarterly payments of $137,500 which began on August 1, 2005. In May 2006, the  agreement was amended to grant the Company non-exclusive rights to market the  medallions and to discontinue the purchase obligation. All amounts paid in  connection with this agreement were written off as part of the 2006 retail  restructuring (see note 17).

 

 

 

*Litigation*

 

 

 

The Company is party to  legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its  business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with  certainty, management based on its discussions with legal counsel, does not  expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

 

 

 

In April 2001, our former  distributor outside the United States, Eurimex S.A. (now known as Granite  Stone Business International S.a.r.l.), initiated an arbitration proceeding  against us in connection with our termination of the distribution agreement  for our Salisbury Pink granite. Eurimex also claimed damages in connection  with a distribution agreement for our Bethel White granite, which agreement  expired by its terms in 1998. Pursuant to those agreements, the arbitration  took place under the ICC rules.

 

  

 

On June 10, 2004, the  three-member ICC arbitral tribunal awarded Granite Stone Business  International approximately $5.4 million in damages, plus interest on the  award of $1.1 million. The award was made on the claim we had wrongfully  terminated the Salisbury Pink distribution agreement. The tribunal ruled in  our favor on the other four claims brought against us in the arbitration. We paid  $6.5 million for the adverse judgment in 2004. 

 

  

 

*Other commitments*

 

 

 

The  Company has employment agreements with most of its executive officers that  include change in control provisions. These generally provide for the  lump-sum payment of an amount equal to one to three years' salary and certain  other benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company.

**CREDIT** **FACILITY**

 

  

 

We have a credit facility  with the CIT Group/Business Credit and Chittenden Trust Company ("Lenders")  that is scheduled to expire in October 2007 and is secured by substantially  all assets of the Company located in the United States. The facility consists  of an acquisition term loan line of credit of up to $30.0 million and a  revolving credit facility of up to another $20.0 million based on eligible  accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets. Pursuant to the  Further Amendment (defined below), the Lenders have placed a reserve of $2  million against availability under the revolving credit facility with the  Lenders retaining the right to over advance at their discretion. Amounts  outstanding were $13,217,612 and $20,715,905 as of December 31, 2006 and  $10,499,379 and $21,815,193 as of December 31, 2005, on the revolving credit  facility and the term loan line of credit, respectively. Availability under  the revolving credit facility was $6,838,045 (including the $2 million  reserve)  as of December 31,  2006. The weighted average interest rate  was 7.46%, 5.12% and 3.46% on the revolving credit facility in 2006, 2005 and  2004, respectively. The credit facility loan agreement places restrictions on  our ability to, among other things, sell assets, participate in mergers,  incur debt, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, repurchase stock and  make investments or guarantees, without pre-approval by the Lenders. The  credit facility agreement also contains certain covenants for a minimum  Operating Cash Flow to Debt Service Ratio (the "Ratio") and a limit  on the Total Liabilities to Net Worth Ratio of the Company.

 

 

 

*Minimum Operating Cash  Flow to Debt Service Ratio*. The  facility requires the ratio of the sum of earnings before interest, taxes,  depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less taxes paid and capital  expenditures, to the sum of interest and scheduled debt repayments be at  least 1.25 for any trailing twelve-month period at the end of a quarter.  Primarily as a result of significant Eurimex arbitration expenses in 2004 and  operating losses in 2004, 2005 and 2006, we have been in violation of this  covenant and have received waivers and amendments of this covenant from the  Lenders, which adjust the required covenant levels through the remaining term  of the facility. In October 2006, the Lenders amended (the "Amendment")  our credit facility and changed the method of calculating the Ratio for the  trailing four quarters by allowing the Company to exclude the $1,685,000  retail restructuring charge taken in the second quarter of 2006. The Company  was in compliance with the Ratio covenant, as calculated according to the  Amendment, at December 31, 2006.

 

 

 

Due to adverse weather  conditions in its various markets during the first quarter of 2007, the  Company expects to be in violation of the Ratio covenant in the first quarter  of 2007. In anticipation of missing the Ratio covenant and in advance of the  end of the first quarter, the Company has obtained a waiver of the violation in  the Ratio covenant for the first quarter from the Lenders. After the first  quarter of 2007, the Company expects to be in compliance with all existing  covenants through the remaining term of the credit facility.

 

 

 

*Total Liabilities to Net  Worth Ratio.* Our credit facility  also requires that the ratio of our total liabilities to net worth (the "Leverage  Ratio") not exceed 2.0. Pursuant to the Amendment described above, the  calculation of the Leverage Ratio was changed by excluding from that  calculation any change in tangible net worth (up to a maximum of $6,000,000)  directly resulting from the Company's compliance with SFAS No. 158. In  relevant part, SFAS No. 158 requires us to place on our books certain  unrecognized and unfunded retirement liabilities as of December 31, 2006. As  of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the Leverage Ratio  covenant as amended, and we expect to be in compliance with this covenant  throughout the remaining term of the credit facility.

 

 

 

*Interest Rates.* We have a multi-tiered interest rate structure on  our outstanding debt with the Lenders. We can elect the interest rate  structure under the credit facility based on the prime rate or LIBOR for both  the revolving credit facility and the term loan. The incremental rate above  or below prime and above LIBOR is based on our Funded Debt to Net Worth  Ratio. Based on this ratio, our current rates are 25 basis points higher than  the lowest incremental rates currently available to us. In addition, the  incremental interest rates under our credit facility were increased by a  total of 50 basis points during 2005 in connection with the amendments noted  above. Because the Company was in compliance with the terms of the amendments  noted above, effective July 2, 2006 our rates were reduced by 25 basis points. However,  in conjunction with the Amendment the rates were increased by 25 basis points  effective October 1, 2006.

Deferred tax assets include  significant alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, which have been  fully reserved and may be carried forward indefinitely. Utilization of these  alternative minimum tax credits is limited to future federal income tax in  excess of the alternative minimum tax. Deferred tax assets also include state  net operating loss carryforwards, which have been fully reserved due to  uncertainties regarding sufficient future state taxable income to utilize  carryovers.

 

 

 

At December 31, 2004,  management believed it was more likely than not that the results of future  operations would generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net  deferred tax assets including a federal net operating loss carryover of  $3,268,000. At the end of the second quarter of 2005, based on taxable income  and projections for future taxable income, the Company believed it was not  more likely than not that it would generate the required taxable income to  fully realize the benefit of the net U.S. deferred tax assets.  As such, we adjusted our  valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets to fully reserve for the  entire net U.S. deferred tax asset which resulted in a charge to  tax expense of $9,194,000 in the second quarter of 2005. At the end of 2005  and 2006, we have continued to fully reserve for the entire net U.S.  deferred tax asset. We will continue to assess the valuation allowance on a  regular basis and may reduce the valuation allowance if and/or when the  Company has taxable income from its U.S. operations. Net U.S. deferred tax assets increased  $2,063,000 during 2006. The valuation allowance also increased $2,063,000 in  order to maintain our fully reserved position. The net deferred tax liability  of $55,774 is related to temporary differences on the depreciation of  property and equipment utilized by Rock of Ages Canada.

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006,  the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of  approximately $21,809,000, which will be available to offset future taxable  income. If not used, these carryforwards will expire in 2024, 2025 and 2026.  The use of our federal net operating loss carryforwards may be restricted if  there is a change in control of the Company as defined by IRS Code Section  382.

Deferred taxes have,  historically, not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of the  Company's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary since the Company can control the  distribution of such earnings and has determined such earnings will be  reinvested indefinitely. Additional taxes could be due if these earnings were  distributed. During 2005, the Company received a $2,128,623 cash distribution  from the Canadian subsidiary. No incremental U.S. taxes were due on this  distribution. The Company elected, on its 2005 U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return,  to take advantage of section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted as  part of the American Jobs Creation Act o" 2004 (the "Jobs Act").  In general, section 965(a) provides, for one taxable year, an 85%  dividends-received deduction with respect to certain cash dividends a company  receives from its controlled foreign corporations. The Company elected the  85% dividends-received deduction and, due to the loss position of the  Company, the portion of the dividend not eligible for the deduction had no  impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

The Jobs Act  also provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production  activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. In return, the  Act also provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing extra-territorial  income exclusion (ETI) for foreign sales that was viewed to be inconsistent  with international trade protocols by the European Union. Uncertainty remains  as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Jobs Act. At this time, the  Company does not expect the net effect of the phase-out of the ETI and the  phase-in of this new deduction to materially impact the effective tax rate.

**PENSION AND  OTHER BENEFITS**

 

 
   The Company has  a qualified defined benefit pension plan for eligible non-union employees. The  plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based upon a formula calculated  by reference to length of service and final average earnings.         The Company has  entered into nonqualified salary continuation agreements with certain officers  and former executives. These agreements provide for supplemental pension  benefits to be paid beginning at age 65 and continuing through the life of the  retired employee and his surviving spouse.         The Company  provides other post-employment benefits. Post-employment health care is  provided to executive officers who retire at age 55 or older and their  spouses, and to a closed group of retirees selected by the Company. The form  and type of benefit is the same coverage that is in effect for active  employees, and the retiree pays his portion of the premium for such coverage.   Generally benefits cease at age 65. The Company provides post-employment life  insurance for all Vermont-based employees; non-union employee coverage is 50%  of the group insurance coverage the employee had prior to retirement (but not  more than $60,000) and union employee coverage is $6,000.      
 

The Company adopted SFAS  No. 158 effective December 31, 2006. SFAS No.158 requires an employer to recognize the  funded status of each of its defined pension and post-employment benefit  plans as a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position with  an offsetting amount in accumulated other comprehensive income, and to  recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which changes occur  through comprehensive income. Following the adoption of SFAS No. 158,  additional minimum pension liabilities ("AML") and related intangible assets  are no longer recognized. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are to be applied on  a prospective basis; therefore, prior periods presented are not restated. The  adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in a reduction of $409,400 in existing  prepaid pension costs and intangible assets, the recognition of $3,852,362 in  accrued pension and post-employment liabilities, and a charge of $4,261,762  to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

 

 

The following tables set  forth actuarial information, plan asset data, funded status and amounts  recognized in the balance sheet for the Company's defined benefit pension  plan, salary continuation plan and other post-employment benefits. The  Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for these plans.

In 2006 we increased  the discount rate used to determine our liability in the pension plans from  5.47% to 5.60% based on a bond matching model which uses data on individual  high-quality corporate bonds and the timing and amount of the future benefit  payments in our plan to develop a weighted discount rate specific to our plan.   
For measurement purposes,  the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care  benefits was assumed to be 12% for 2006, 10% for 2007, 8% for 2008, 6% for  2009 and 5% for 2010 and thereafter. Assumed health care trends do not have a  significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan.

 

The following table sets  forth the components of the net periodic benefit cost recognized in the  statement of operations for the Company's defined benefit pension plan,  salary continuation plan and other post-employment benefits for 2006, 2005  and 2004.

The Company invests equity  holdings primarily in mutual funds which are diversified among the spectrum  of value and growth, large, medium and small cap, domestic and foreign  securities, as appropriate, to achieve the objective of a balanced portfolio,  which optimizes the expected returns and volatility in the various asset  classes. In general, the majority of the equity investments are large cap  domestic funds.

  

Fixed income holdings are  in the form of mutual funds that hold a combination of short-duration,  investment-grade fixed-income securities, inflation-indexed bonds of varying  maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, and a diversified  selection of investment-grade, fixed income securities, including corporate  securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government securities and U.S.  dollar denomination bonds of foreign issuers.

 

Cash equivalents are held  in money market funds.

 

The Company prohibits  certain transactions in its plan including, but not limited to: short sales,  commodities, transactions on margin, letter stock, unregistered or restricted  stock, private placements, and derivative securities.

  

The Company determines its  investment strategies based on the composition of the beneficiaries in its  defined benefit plan and the relative time horizons that those beneficiaries  receive payouts from the plan. In addition, the Company receives advice from  our actuaries and plan administrator regarding market conditions, which, taken together  with the characteristics of the plan, result in the investment strategy.

  

To develop the Company's  expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, the Company uses  long-term historical return information for the targeted asset mix.  Adjustments are made to the expected long-term rate of return assumption when  deemed necessary based upon revised expectations of future investment  performance of the overall capital markets.

**401(k) BENEFITS** 

   

The Company maintains a  401(k) plan for all full-time, permanent, U.S. employees. Employees are eligible to join on the  first day of the quarter following their first full year of service.

The Company's contributions to the 401(k) plan were $288,226, $319,690 and  $185,257 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
   
The Company's Canadian subsidiary sponsors a retirement plan  for all of its salaried, non-union employees and contributes 8% of each  participant's compensation to this plan. The investments in the account are  self-directed by each participant with a range of investment options. Rock of  Ages Canada may, at its discretion, make an additional annual contribution to  a participant's account, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $19,000 CDN per  year (including amounts previously contributed during the year).

**STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE  COMPENSATION**

 

 

 

On June 22, 2005, the  stockholders approved the Rock of Ages Corporation 2005 Stock Plan (the "2005  Plan"). The 2005 Plan permits awards of stock options (including both  incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options) and restricted stock.  A maximum of 550,000 shares of Class A common stock may be issued under the  2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which  has the authority to determine the recipients of awards under the 2005 Plan  and, subject to the 2005 Plan, the terms and conditions of such awards. The  2005 Plan replaces the Rock of Ages Corporation 1994 Stock Plan (the "1994  Plan") which expired in November 2004. Although grants made under the  1994 Plan prior to its expiration remain outstanding, no further grants may  be made under the 1994 Plan.

 

 

 

Under the terms of the 2005  Plan, 1,500,000 options were reserved for issuance to key employees and  directors to purchase equivalent shares of common stock. The options granted  in 2002 have a 10 year term and vest at 20% per year after the first year and  options granted in 2004 and 2005 have terms from one to five years and vest  at various rates from 20% to 100% per year. 

 

 

 

In the fourth quarter of  2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options  previously awarded to officers, directors and employees. The primary purpose  of accelerating the vesting of these options was to reduce the Company's  future reported compensation expense upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R in  2006. As a result, options to purchase approximately 333,600 shares of Class  A common stock which would have been vested over the next 48 months became  immediately exercisable. Restrictions were imposed on any shares received  through the exercise of accelerated options that prevented the sale of any of  these shares prior to the original vesting date of the option.

 

 

 

The following tables set  forth stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004  and information on outstanding and exercisable options at December 31, 2006:

**RELATED PARTY  TRANSACTIONS**

 

 

 

The Company is related  through common ownership with several companies. Kurt M. Swenson, the  Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and his brother  Kevin C. Swenson, each own approximately 31% of Swenson Granite LLC ("Swenson  LLC"). Certain other officers and directors of the Company collectively  own approximately 9% of Swenson LLC. Kurt M. Swenson serves as a non-officer  Chairman of the Board of Swenson LLC, but has no involvement with its  day-to-day operations. Robert Pope, a holder of more than 5% of the Class B  Common Stock of the Company, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of  Swenson LLC, and including shares owned by his wife and children, owns 12% of  Swenson LLC. Neither Kurt M. Swenson nor any other officer or director of the  Company, receives salary, bonus, expenses or other compensation from Swenson  LLC, except for any pro rata share of earnings attributable to their  ownership interest in Swenson LLC. Swenson LLC owns two granite quarries, one  in Concord, New   Hampshire and another in Woodbury, Vermont.  Both have been owned by Swenson LLC (or its predecessor Swenson Granite) for  more than 40 years. Because of the proximity of the Woodbury quarry to Barre, Vermont, the  Company provides certain maintenance services and parts to the Woodbury  quarry and is reimbursed for the cost of such services. The Company also  purchases Concord blocks and other products from Swenson LLC at  market prices. Swenson LLC also purchases granite blocks and slabs from the  Company.  

 

 

 

In 2002 the Company  acquired a 1/3 equity interest in VIKA, Ltd., a Ukrainian closed joint stock  company that owns the right to quarry certain stone known as "Galactic  Blue" on certain property located in Zhytomir, Ukraine. We also acquired  the exclusive right to purchase and re-sell the output of the Galactic Blue  quarry.

NOTES:

 

  

 

The Company has  historically experienced certain seasonal patterns, primarily due to weather  conditions affecting operations in Vermont and Canada and the setting of memorials in cemeteries located  in northern regions. 

 

 

(1)

Net revenues in the second and third quarters of 2006 are  $389,000 and $259,000, respectively, higher than previously disclosed amounts included  in the Form Q for these periods due to a clerical error in the earlier  published numbers.

 

 

(2)

In December 2006 the  Company completed the sale of the Kershaw quarries. A gain of $614,000 was  recognized on the transaction. The Kershaw quarries have been classified as a discontinued operation and,  accordingly, the revenue and gross profits reported in the tables above for  both 2005 and 2006 have been adjusted to reflect such classification. (See  note 16 for the impact on full year results.) The impact on net revenue and  gross profit in each quarter in the tables above is insignificant.

 

 

(3)

Net income for the fourth  quarter of 2005 includes several infrequently occurring items which increased  net income by $1,131,000. These included the reversal of $369,000 of accrued  expenses associated with key employee deferred salary agreements as discussed  in note 9, the gain on the sale of the FFS investment of $350,000, reversal  of tax reserves of $212,000 no longer required due to the completion of an  IRS audit of the 2003 tax year and the gain on the sale of four retail  locations in New Jersey of $200,000.

**(13)**

**COMMON STOCK**

 

 

 

The Company has two classes  of common stock outstanding, Class A and Class B. The shares of Class A  common stock and Class B common stock differ with respect to voting rights  and certain conversion rights, as described below:

 

 

 

*Voting Rights* - Each share of Class A common stock entitles the  holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company's  stockholders and each share of Class B common stock entitles the holder to  ten votes on each such matter, in each case including the election of directors.  Neither the Class A common stock nor the Class B common stock has cumulative  voting rights. 

 

 

 

*Conversion* - Class A common stock has no conversion rights.  Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock, in whole or in  part, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder on the  basis of one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common  stock converted. Each share of Class B common stock will also automatically  convert into one share of Class A common stock upon transfer to any person or  entity other than a Permitted Transferee, as defined in the Company's Amended  and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

 

**(14)**

**SEGMENT INFORMATION (in  thousands)**

 

 

 

The Company is organized  based on the products and services it offers. Under this organizational  structure, the Company operates in three segments: quarry, manufacturing and  retail.

 

 

 

The quarry segment extracts  granite from the ground and sells it to the manufacturing segment and to  outside manufacturers, as well as to distributors in Europe and China. There  was one quarry customer that represented approximately 11% of accounts  receivable at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

 

 

 

The manufacturing segment's  principal product is granite memorials and mausoleums used primarily in  cemeteries, although it also manufactures some specialized granite products  for industrial applications.

 

 

 

The retail segment engraves  and sells memorials and other granite products at various locations  throughout the United States.

 

 

 

The other segment includes  unallocated corporate overhead, the Eurimex adverse judgment and legal  expenses and the impairment of the note receivable.

 

 

 

Inter-segment revenues are  accounted for as if the sales were to third parties.

 

 

 

The following tables  present segment data as of or for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

**ACQUISITIONS**

 

 

 

On February 15, 2005,  the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Rockwell White  granite quarry in Rowan County, North    Carolina for $3.5 million, which was  financed using the term loan. In connection with the purchase we assumed an  operating lease for 14.129 acres for $70,000 per year through December 1, 2005  with a ten-year renewal option, which was exercised on March 18, 2005  extending the lease to December 1, 2015 and increasing the rent to $100,000  with an automatic 3% per year increase. The lease also requires a payment to  the lessor of $1.40 per cubic foot for all granite exceeding 40,000 cubic  feet per year that is extracted by the lessee. 

 

 

 

On February 14, 2005,  the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of McColly Memorials, a  memorial retailer with four locations in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania  area for a purchase price of $625,000.

 

 

 

On August 4, 2004, the  Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Crone Monuments, a  memorial retailer with two locations in Tennessee for a purchase price of $477,000.  

 

 

 

Supplemental pro-forma operating  information for 2005 and 2004 is not presented because it is not material.

**DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

 

 

 

In June 2006, the Company  decided to sell the Kershaw quarries in South    Carolina. This decision represented a  disposal of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the  Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Accordingly, results of  this quarry have been classified as discontinued operations and prior periods  have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification. In December 2006, the  Company completed the sale for $900,000 in cash. A gain of $614,000 was  recognized on the completion of the transaction. For business reporting  purposes, the Kershaw quarries were previously classified in the Quarry  segment.

**ROCK OF AGES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2003, the Company decided to  sell the Autumn Rose quarry in Mill    Creek, Oklahoma, which represented a  disposal of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, results of  this quarry have been classified as discontinued operations and prior periods  have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification. In November 2004, the  Company completed the sale for $750,000, consisting of $150,000 in cash with  the balance payable pursuant to the terms of a promissory note and a supply  agreement, which provide for payment in industrial diamond segments and  diamond wire used in the Company's operations. No material gain or loss was  recognized on the completion of the transaction. For business reporting  purposes, the Autumn Rose quarry was previously classified in the Quarry  segment. This receivable was paid in full as of December 31, 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

Operating results from the Kershaw  and Autumn Rose Quarries for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004  were as follows (in thousands):

During 2006 and 2005, the  Company has sold several of its retail locations. In connection with these  transactions, the Company expects to continue as the primary supplier of  granite memorials to these stores and, accordingly, has not classified the  operating results and gains or losses on the sales as part of discontinued  operations.

**RETAIL RESTRUCTURING  COSTS**

 

In May 2006, the Company  restructured the senior management organization for its retail segment. The  restructuring was substantially completed during the second quarter of 2006. In  connection with this, and in accordance with SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit  or Disposal Activities", the Company  recorded a charge of $1,685,000 for the severance packages for the management  team and other positions that were eliminated in the transition, as well as  certain other related costs. The cost of the severance packages and other  costs related to the change in management have been presented separately in  the consolidated statements of operations as retail restructuring costs.
