501957–200750CelebratingYEARS T O O U R S T O C K H O L D E R S
As we reflect upon fiscal 2007, we cannot help but be extremely
proud of all that we accomplished. It was a year of remarkable
achievement for Crown Crafts, a year in which the Company
celebrated its 50th anniversary, completed a transformational debt
and capital restructuring and saw its stock begin trading
on NASDAQ.
We celebrated our 50th anniversary on March
12, 2007. This is a major milestone for us as
many of our competitors and friends have not
survived the enormous challenges that our
industry has had to confront. The road to our
success has not been an easy one. In July 2001,
the Company went through a major
reorganization. We sold businesses and
factories, refinanced a large amount of debt at
very high interest rates, and moved our
corporate offices from Atlanta, Georgia to
Gonzales, Louisiana. We refocused the business
and turned it around. Not only did we survive,
but we have prospered ever since, improving
shareholders’ equity from -$16.8 million in
2001 to $36.8 million in 2007.
In July 2006, we completed another
refinancing, which included the
extinguishment of warrants that represented
65% of the Company’s equity. On the date of
the refinancing, the Company had $12.6 million
of debt, a 74% decrease from 2001, and we
closed fiscal 2007 with total indebtedness of
$5.8 million. In addition, before the refinancing
the Company had approximately 36 million
shares of common stock issued or issuable;
immediately after the refinancing, the Company
had 10 million shares issued or issuable.
The stock market rewarded us for these
accomplishments – our stock value increased
more than six-fold, resulting in an increase
in total market value of approximately
$40 million.
With the support of our new lenders, in
December 2006 we acquired Kimberly Grant
to complement our design portfolio. With a
healthy balance sheet, we will be searching for
new opportunities in the future.
Late in the year, as a result of our improved
stock performance, we were listed on
The NASDAQ Capital Market, which should
improve the liquidity and visibility of your
stock. After spending almost six years trading
on the over-the-counter market, we are very
pleased with our new home.
Our pretax income for fiscal 2007
improved to $6.9 million, excluding the gain
on refinancing, versus pretax income of $4.0
million in fiscal 2006. We achieved this increase
in pretax income of 71% despite the fact that
we had a slight sales decline. We are tenacious
at controlling our costs and watching the
bottom line. Examples of these cost savings are
the benefits we saw during the year of
consolidating two distribution centers into one
and the centralization of our financial areas.
Last, but not least, we announced late in the
year that Churchill Weavers, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company that produced
beautiful hand-woven products in Berea,
Kentucky, would be closed and liquidated,
ending an 85-year history. This was a tough
decision; however, in recent years, sales had
slipped and profits had turned to losses.
As always, the Company’s management
appreciates your support. Please know
that we work for you, and you have our
commitment that we will remain focused
on creating shareholder value. We are
grateful for your investment in our Company,
and we will continue to do all we can to
reward your confidence.
Sincerely,
E. Randall Chestnut
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

ITEM 1. Business
Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”) operates indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Crown Crafts Infant Products,
Inc., Hamco, Inc., and Churchill Weavers, Inc. (“Churchill”), in the infant products segment within the consumer products industry.
The infant products segment consists of infant bedding, bibs, soft goods and accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are
generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, large chain stores and gift stores. The Company’s products
are manufactured primarily in China and marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from
others, without trademarks as unbranded merchandise and as private label goods. In response to changing business conditions in the
consumer products industry, the Company has made significant changes in its business operations over the last five years. In addition
to a program of cost reductions, the Company has outsourced virtually all of its manufacturing to foreign contract manufacturers, with
the exception of the specialty hand woven products produced by Churchill. On February 2, 2007, the Company announced the
planned closure of Churchill (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). In accordance with accounting guidelines, in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Churchill property is expected to be classified as Assets Held for Sale in the Balance Sheet and the
operations of Churchill are expected to be classified as Discontinued Operations in the Statement of Income. These classifications
were not used prior to the end of fiscal year 2007 because Churchill’s operations were continuing at that time.
Products
The Company's primary focus is on infant and juvenile products. Infant products include crib bedding, blankets, diaper
stackers, mobiles, bibs, burp cloths, bathing accessories and other infant soft goods and accessories. Through April 3, 2007, the
Company, through Churchill, also produced hand-woven throws for infants and adults in a variety of colors, designs and fabrics,
including cotton, acrylic, cotton/acrylic blends, rayon, wool, fleece and chenille.
Product Design and Styling
Research and development expenditures focus primarily on product design and styling. The Company believes styling and
design are key components to its success. The Company's designers and stylists work closely with the marketing staff and licensors to
develop new designs. These designs, which are developed internally and obtained from numerous additional sources, including
graphic artists, decorative fabric manufacturers, apparel designers and employees, include traditional, contemporary, textured and
whimsical patterns across a broad spectrum of retail price points. The Company is continually developing new designs for all of its
2
product groups using computer-aided-design systems to increase design flexibility, reduce costs and shorten the time for responding to
customer demands and changing market trends. The Company also creates designs for exclusive sale by certain of its customers.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of infant comforters, sheets and accessories are printed and solid color
cotton and polycotton fabrics, with polyester fibers used as filling material. The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of
throws and other products are natural-color and pre-dyed 100% cotton yarns, rayon yarns and acrylic yarns. The principal raw
materials used in the production of infant bibs are knit-terry polycotton, woven polycotton and vinyl fabrics. Although the Company
normally maintains supply relationships with only a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes these raw materials presently
are available from several sources in quantities sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.
The Company uses significant quantities of cotton, either in the form of cotton fabric or polycotton fabric. Cotton is subject
to ongoing price fluctuations because it is an agricultural product impacted by changing weather patterns, disease and other factors,
such as supply and demand considerations, both domestically and internationally. Significant increases in the price of cotton could
adversely affect the Company's operations.
Product Sourcing
The Company's infant products are produced by foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in
China. The Company makes sourcing decisions on the basis of quality, timeliness of delivery and price, including the impact of
quotas and duties. The Company’s management and quality assurance personnel visit the third-party facilities regularly to monitor
product quality and financial viability and to ensure compliance with labor requirements. Subsequent to the elimination of quota in
certain product categories as of January 1, 2005, safeguards have been implemented which have had a limited impact on the
Company. However, the additional implementation of safeguards, if any, in China may result in strategic shifts in the Company’s
sourcing plan in the future. In addition, the Company closely monitors the currency exchange rate, which has recently been adjusted
to market conditions. The impact of future fluctuations or safeguards cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
Products are warehoused and shipped from a facility in Compton, California.
Sales and Marketing
Products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of salaried sales executives and employees, and independent
commissioned sales representatives. Independent representatives are used most significantly in sales to the gift trade, juvenile
specialty stores and department stores. Sales outside the United States are made primarily through distributors.
The Company's sales offices are located in Compton, California; Gonzales, Louisiana; Berea, Kentucky; and Rogers,
Arkansas. Substantially all products are sold to retailers for resale to consumers. The Company's infant product subsidiaries generally
introduce new products once each year during the annual Juvenile Products Manufacturers' Association trade show. Private label
products are introduced throughout the year.
In fiscal year 2007, approximately 2% of the Company's gross sales were made through its retail store in Berea, Kentucky.
As of April 29, 2007, operation of this store was discontinued in conjunction with the closure of Churchill.
Customers
The Company's customers consist principally of mass merchants, chain stores, department stores, specialty home furnishings
stores, wholesale clubs, gift stores and catalogue and direct mail houses. The Company does not generally enter into long-term or
other purchase agreements with its customers. The table below indicates customers representing more than 10% of gross sales in each
of the Company’s last three fiscal years. (The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. References to the
Company’s fiscal years herein represent the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2007 for fiscal year 2007; the 52 weeks ended April 2, 2006 for
fiscal year 2006; and the 53 weeks ended April 3, 2005 for fiscal year 2005.)

Seasonality and Inventory Management
Historically, the Company has experienced a sales pattern in which sales are lowest in the first fiscal quarter. In fiscal years
2007 and 2006, sales peaked in the second fiscal quarter. In fiscal year 2005, sales peaked in the fourth fiscal quarter.
Consistent with the seasonality of specific product offerings, the Company carries necessary levels of inventory to meet the
anticipated delivery requirements of its customers. Customer returns of merchandise shipped are historically less than 1% of gross
sales.
Order Backlog
Management estimates the backlog of unfilled customer orders was $4.1 million and $9.1 million at May 31, 2007 and May
27, 2006, respectively. Historically the majority of these unfilled orders are shipped within approximately four weeks. The higher
backlog in the prior year was the result of customer orders being placed earlier than in the current year and past years. As such, the
prior year backlog includes orders that shipped through September, 2006. There is no assurance that the backlog at any point in time
will translate into sales in any particular subsequent period. Due to the prevalence of quick-ship programs adopted by its customers,
the Company does not believe that its backlog is a meaningful or material indicator of future business.
Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents
The Company considers its trademarks to be of material importance to its business. Products are marketed in part under
well-known trademarks such as Red Calliope®, Cuddle Me®, NoJo®, Hamco® and Pinky®. Protection for these trademarks is
obtained through domestic and foreign registrations.
Certain products are manufactured and sold pursuant to licensing agreements for trademarks that include, among others,
Disney®. The licensing agreements for the Company's designer brands generally are for an initial term of one to three years and may
or may not be subject to renewal or extension. Sales of products under the Company's licenses with Disney Enterprises, Inc.
accounted for 28% of the Company's total gross sales volume during fiscal year 2007. The Company’s current licenses with Disney
Enterprises, Inc. expire December 31, 2007.
Many of the designs used by the Company are copyrighted by other parties, including trademark licensors, and are available
to the Company through copyright licenses. Other designs are the subject of copyrights and design patents owned by the Company.
The Company's aggregate commitment for minimum guaranteed royalty payments under all of its license agreements is $1.5
million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company does not currently have any
commitment for minimum guaranteed royalty payments after fiscal year 2010. The Company believes that future sales of royalty
products will exceed amounts required to cover the minimum royalty guarantees. The Company's total royalty expense, net of royalty
income, was $4.3 million, $4.7 million and $5.0 million for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Competition
The infant consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and
manufacturers (both branded and private label), including Kids Line, LLC, a division of Russ Berrie and Co., Inc.; Springs Industries;
Dolly Inc.; Co Ca Lo, Inc.; Carters, Inc.; Riegel Textile Corporation; Danara International, Ltd.; Luv n’ Care, Ltd.; The First Years
Inc.; Sassy Inc., a division of Russ Berrie and Co., Inc.; Triboro Quilt Manufacturing, Inc.; and Gerber Childrenswear, Inc., on the
basis of quality, design, price, brand name recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally
on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.
Government Regulation and Environmental Control
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which regulate, among other
things, the discharge, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances and wastes, product safety, and to laws and regulations
relating to employee safety and health, principally the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act and regulations thereunder.
The Company believes that it currently complies in all material respects with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations and that future compliance with such existing laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, there is no assurance that such requirements will not become more stringent
in the future or that the Company will not have to incur significant costs to comply with such requirements.
4
Employees
At May 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 145 employees, none of whom is represented by a labor union or
otherwise a party to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company attracts and maintains qualified personnel by paying
competitive salaries and benefits and offering opportunities for advancement. The Company considers its relationship with its
employees to be good.
International Sales
Sales to customers in foreign countries outside the United States are not currently material to the Company's business.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors as well as the other information contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually
occur, operating results may be affected in future periods.
The loss of one or more of the Company’s key customers could result in a material loss of revenues.
The Company’s top three customers represented 78% of gross sales in fiscal year 2007. Although we do not enter into
contracts with our key customers, we expect them to continue to be a significant portion of our gross sales in the future. The loss of
one or more of these customers could result in a material decrease in our revenue and operating income.
The loss of one or more of the Company’s licenses could result in a material loss of revenues.
Sales of licensed products represented 39% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2007, including 28% of sales which
were associated with the Company’s license with Disney®. If the Company is unable to renew its major licenses or obtain new
licenses, the Company could experience a material loss of revenues.
Changes in international trade regulations and other risks associated with foreign trade could adversely affect the Company’s
sourcing.
With the exception of hand-woven products previously produced by Churchill, the Company sources all of its products from
foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The adoption of regulations related to the importation
of product, including quotas, duties, taxes and other charges or restrictions on imported goods, and changes in U.S. customs
procedures could result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s products. Delays in customs clearance of goods or the disruption
of international transportation lines used by the Company could result in the Company being unable to deliver goods to customers in a
timely manner and potentially the loss of sales altogether.
The strength of our competitors may impact our ability to maintain and grow our sales, which could decrease the Company’s
revenues.
The infant consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and
manufacturers both branded and private label. The Company’s ability to compete successfully depends principally on styling, price,
service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names. Many of these competitors are larger
than the Company and have greater financial resources than the Company. Increased competition could result in a material loss of
revenues.
The Company’s ability to anticipate and respond to consumers’ tastes and preferences could adversely affect the Company’s
revenues.
Sales are driven by consumer demands for the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that the demand for our
products will not decline or that we will be able to anticipate and respond to changes in demand. The Company’s failure to adapt to
these changes could lead to lower sales and excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and operating results.
5
Customer pricing pressures could result in lower selling prices which could negatively affect the Company’s operating results.
The Company’s customers constantly place pressures on the Company to reduce its prices, partially due to the removal of
quotas on certain of the Company’s products. The Company continuously strives to stay ahead in sourcing which allows us to obtain
lower cost end products, while maintaining our high standards for quality. There can be no assurance that the Company can continue
to reduce its costs to the same extent that sales prices decrease, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
Recalls or product liability claims could increase costs or reduce sales.
The Company must comply with regulations set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and similar state regulatory
authorities. In addition, the Company’s products are subject to product safety testing. The Company’s products could be subject to
involuntary recalls and other actions by these authorities and concerns about product safety may lead the Company to voluntarily
recall selected products. Product liability claims could exceed or fall outside the scope of the Company’s insurance coverage. Recalls
or product liability claims could result in decreased consumer demand for the Company’s products, damage to the Company’s
reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business, and increased customer service and support costs.
The Company’s success is dependent upon retaining key management personnel.
The Company’s ability to retain qualified executive management and other key personnel is vital to the Company’s success.
If the Company were unable to retain or attract qualified individuals, the Company’s growth and operating results could be materially
impacted.
ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Management believes that its properties are suitable for the purposes for which they are used, are in generally good condition
and provide adequate capacity for current and anticipated future operations. The Company's business is somewhat seasonal so that
during certain times of the year these facilities are fully utilized, while at other times of the year the Company has excess capacity.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently a defendant in litigation instituted by the Center for Environmental Health in California claiming
that certain of its products contain lead in excess of amounts permitted by California law (the “CEH Proceeding”). The U. S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission has sampled the Company’s products and determined that there is no accessible lead in
amounts that present a hazard. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the CEH Proceeding and, based on information
currently available and advice of counsel, management does not believe that the liabilities, if any, arising from this litigation will have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of the
Company.

Net Sales: Sales of bedding, blankets and accessories decreased in fiscal year 2007 as compared to the prior year as a result of
shipments of new designs amounting to $8.5 million, offset by a decrease of $9.3 million related to programs that were discontinued in
the latter part of fiscal year 2006 and beginning of fiscal year 2007.
Bib and bath sales increased in fiscal year 2007 due to sales of new designs of $2.2 million, offset by a net decrease in
replenishment orders of $1.2 million and discontinued programs of $0.8 million.
Sales volume for bedding, blankets and accessories decreased by approximately 6.2%; however price per unit increased by
approximately 2.5%. For bib and bath items, sales volume decreased by approximately 4.8% and price per unit increased by
approximately 5.8%. These changes are due primarily to a change in product mix whereby the Company sold more sets and multi-
packs rather than individual items.
Sales of bedding, blankets and accessories decreased by $3.3 million in fiscal year 2006 as a result of lower demand for
certain licensed products. In addition, private label bedding and blankets volume declined $1.5 million as a customer increased the
number of items sourced internally, Pillow Buddies® sales declined $0.5 million as business for this product has been comparatively
weaker in the current year because retail dollars have not been allocated to the product, and shipments of Company-branded products
have declined $1.8 million. The decline in sales is not solely attributable to a decline in volume of units sold. Price erosion of $2.2
million is included in the sales decline amounts described above. The price erosion is a result of a decline in prices due to a change in
shipping points on a program from FOB United States to FOB Asia that was agreed to by the Company and one of its major customers
in order to streamline the distribution process. The customer pays all costs of importation, shipping and warehousing of the
merchandise, which results in a decreased selling price per unit to the Company. Due to the aforementioned competitive pressures,
the Company is focusing its efforts on aggressively negotiating new licenses, developing house brands and implementing new product
innovations.
10
Bib and bath sales decreased in fiscal year 2006 primarily due to a decline in private label bib volume of $1.6 million as a
customer increased the number of items internally sourced. Additionally, a customer changed its marketing strategy and dropped all
licensed products resulting in a $1.3 million decline in bib and bath sales. The remaining decline in sales of $0.8 million is
attributable to sales price per unit deflation in response to market conditions and competition.
Churchill’s sales decreased in fiscal years 2007 and 2006. Churchill has experienced a continuous decline in sales since
fiscal year 2000. As a domestic manufacturer of home furnishings and infant blankets, Churchill has been negatively impacted by
multiple factors. The number of small specialty stores, Churchill’s primary customers, has decreased. Also, competition has
increased, as imported luxury hand woven items can be sold at lower prices. The decline in the gift industry continues to have a
negative impact on customer sales. Management had responded to these challenges by initiating measures to reduce costs and improve
sales. Although cost reductions were achieved, sales have not increased. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has begun liquidating Churchill. The closure of Churchill is not expected to have a significant financial
impact during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased in both amount and percentage of net sales in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year
2006. The improvement in gross margin is due to significant changes in our sourcing and distribution strategies subsequent to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2006, which ultimately resulted in reduced purchase prices for merchandise and increased utilization of existing
distribution facilities. During an eighteen-month period beginning in early 2005, the Company relocated approximately 50% of its
production from Southern China to more cost-competitive suppliers in Northern China. During the second quarter of fiscal year
2006, the Company also completed the transition from domestic manufacturing and transferred production to more cost-effective
Asian suppliers. Additionally, the Gonzales, Louisiana distribution center was relocated to Compton, California during August 2005.
The aforementioned changes have had a positive impact on gross margin as both the cost of product and the cost to handle the
merchandise were reduced. These improvements in gross profit were offset by reserves of $420,000 associated with the planned
liquidation of Churchill and additional reserves of $130,000 associated with the discontinuation of a program at Churchill.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased in fiscal year 2006 because the Company has begun shipping merchandise
that is benefiting from purchasing from more cost-competitive suppliers, improved inventory management, the removal of quotas and
the completion of the Company’s transition out of domestic manufacturing. Included in the 2006 cost of sales are retention bonuses
and freight of $88,000 associated with the relocation of the Gonzales, Louisiana distribution center to Compton, California.
Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Marketing and administrative expenses increased in both dollars and as a percentage
of net sales in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company recorded $271,000 of stock-based compensation during fiscal year 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). In
addition, the current year includes $130,000 of reserves associated with the planned liquidation of Churchill and the write-off of
$90,000 in goodwill associated with Churchill. Fiscal year 2006 included $70,000 of retention bonuses associated with the
consolidation of the Company’s warehouses to California and the consolidation of the Company’s financial function to Louisiana.
Excluding the aforementioned factors, marketing and administrative expenses decreased in the current year in both dollars and as a
percentage of net sales.
As a percentage of net sales, the increase in marketing and administrative expenses in 2006 is a direct result of the decrease in
net sales. Also, the payment of $70,000 of retention bonuses related to the relocation of the California finance department to
Louisiana is included in fiscal year 2006.
Interest Expense: The decrease in interest expense in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006 is due to a lower
average debt balance and lower interest rates primarily as a result of the Company’s debt refinancing on July 11, 2006. As discussed
in “Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below, the Company had $5.8 million in long-term debt at April 1, 2007,
compared to $24.0 million at April 2, 2006 and $27.4 million at April 3, 2005.
The decrease in interest expense in fiscal year 2006 was due to a lower average debt balance as compared to fiscal year 2005.
The decrease in debt reflects quarterly payments on the Company’s senior notes through March 2005 followed by the payment in full
of the senior notes in June 2005. Such decrease was offset by an increase in debt related to the amortization of an original issue
discount and the annual issuance of promissory notes related to the payment of interest on the Company’s senior subordinated notes
related to the Company’s previous debt structure.
11
Gain on Debt Refinancing: On July 11, 2006 the Company refinanced its credit facilities. In connection with the
refinancing, non-interest bearing subordinated indebtedness was reduced from $8 million to $4 million. The $8 million debt was
carried on the Company’s books net of an unamortized discount of $1 million immediately before the refinancing. The new $4
million debt was initially recorded net of an original issue discount of $1.1 million. The Company recorded an approximate pre-tax
gain of $4.1 million on the subordinated debt reduction in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Other Income – Net: Other income in fiscal year 2007 is primarily a result of the sale in the fourth quarter of Churchill’s
name and other intellectual property, domain name and website, yarn inventory, looms and other weaving, sewing and laundry
equipment, archives and antiquities and a small portion of the Churchill property in Berea, Kentucky. In addition, other income
includes interest income received on the Company’s overnight investment sweep. The increase in interest income is due to a higher
average cash balance through July 11, 2006 than in the same period of fiscal year 2006. The Company had $7.8 million cash on July
11, 2006, $7.4 million of which was used to reduce debt in connection with the Company’s debt refinancing.
Other income in fiscal year 2006 is comprised primarily of interest income received on the overnight investment sweep.
Income Tax Benefit: The significant increase in income tax expense in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006 is due
to improved profitability and the full recognition of federal income tax expense given that the deferred tax valuation allowance was
removed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Due to uncertainty as to its ultimate realization prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2006, the benefits of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards were only being recognized as profits were being
generated. As a result, tax expense prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 included no federal tax expense on a net basis but
included only state and local income taxes. The unrecognized benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards was reflected in a
deferred tax asset valuation allowance account. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, management determined that due to taxable
earnings generated in recent years, it was more likely than not that the benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards would be
realized over time prior to their expiration; consequently, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance account was removed at April 2,
2006. As a result of the removal of the deferred tax valuation allowance, the Company’s net income tax expense in periods
subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 will include federal as well as state and local income taxes.
Excluding the impact of the gain on debt refinancing, the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 was approximately 43%.
Approximately $3.1 million of the gain on debt refinancing related to the reversal of previously recognized debt-related expenses that
were not deductible for federal tax purposes; consequently, the gain from the reversal of such expenses was not taxable. The debt-
related expenses pertained to the amortization of the original issue discount on the previously issued non-interest bearing subordinated
debt. Total tax expense related to the gain on debt refinancing was $373,000, representing an effective tax rate of 9.2%.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.4 million for the year ended April 1, 2007, compared to net cash provided
by operating activities of $7.8 million for the year ended April 2, 2006. The change in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to changes in deferred income taxes and accounts receivable balances. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8
million in 2007 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million in the prior year. The increase in cash used in
investing activities is primarily due to the purchase of the Kimberly Grant brand in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. Net cash used
in financing activities was $14.4 million in 2007 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4.5 million in the prior year.
Cash used in the current year was primarily due to the Company’s debt refinancing. Cash used in the prior year was related to the
term loan that was paid off in full during the year ended April 2, 2006. Total debt outstanding decreased to $5.8 million at April 1,
2007, from $24.0 million at April 2, 2006. As of April 1, 2007, letters of credit of $0.6 million were outstanding against the $1.5
million sub-limit for letters of credit associated with the Company’s $22 million revolving credit facility. Based on eligible accounts
receivable and inventory balances as of April 1, 2007, the Company had revolving credit availability of $11.5 million.
The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal, to pay the interest on or to refinance its maturing
indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. The Company’s
future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors
beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with
revolving credit availability, will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company’s credit facilities at April 1, 2007 include the following:
Revolving Credit of up to $22 million, including a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The interest rate is prime minus
1.00% (7.25% at April 1, 2007) for base rate borrowings or LIBOR plus 2.25% (7.57% at April 1, 2007). The maturity date is July
11, 2009. The facility is secured by a first lien on all assets. There was $2.7 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility
at April 1, 2007. Based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances as of April 1, 2007, the Company had revolving
credit availability of $11.5 million. As of April 1, 2007, letters of credit of $630,000 were outstanding against the $1.5 million sub-
limit for letters of credit.
The financing agreement for the $22 million revolving credit facility contains usual and customary covenants for transactions of
this type, including limitations on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or
consolidation transactions, dividends, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents
for the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of April 1, 2007.
Subordinated Notes of $4 million. The notes do not bear interest and are due in two equal installments of $2 million each, the first
of which is payable on July 11, 2010 and the second of which is payable on July 11, 2011. The original issue discount of $1.1
million on this non-interest bearing obligation at a market interest rate of 7.25% is being amortized over the life of the notes. The
remaining unamortized balance of $966,000 is included in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2007.
As of April 2, 2006, the Company had senior subordinated notes of $16 million with a fixed interest rate of 10% plus an additional
1.65% payable by delivery of a promissory note for which $1.1 million had been accrued and a non-interest bearing note of $8
million carried at a book value of $6.8 million, net of unamortized original issue discount. These balances were refinanced on July
11, 2006 using internally generated cash and funds available under the revolving credit line described above. Concurrent with the
refinancing of the senior subordinated notes, the Company settled the $8 million non-interest bearing note and extinguished related
common stock purchase warrants by the issuance of the $4 million subordinated notes described above. The refinancing resulted in
a gain of $4.1 million ($3.7 million net of tax) reported in the quarter ended October 1, 2006. Approximately $3.1 million of the
gain was not subject to federal income tax.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance its cash flow, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts
receivable to a commercial factor. The Company’s factor establishes customer credit lines and accounts for and collects receivable
balances. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires in July, 2009, the factor remits payments to the Company on the
average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor on the due date, the Company is charged
interest at prime less 1.0%, which was 7.25% at April 1, 2007, until payment is received. The factor bears credit losses with respect to
assigned accounts receivable that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances,
claims and discounts. The Company’s factor at any time may terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If
such a termination occurs, the Company may either assume the credit risks for shipments after the date of such termination or cease
shipments to such customer.

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Company's operations. If inflation increases, the
Company will attempt to increase its prices to offset its increased expenses. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be
able to adequately increase its prices in response to inflation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
While the listing below is not inclusive of all of the Company's accounting policies, the Company's management believes that
the following policies are those which are most critical and embody the most significant management judgments due to the
uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different
conditions or using different assumptions. These critical policies are:
Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for
estimated returns and allowances in the consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical
rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are netted against sales. These
allowances are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the
results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are relatively insignificant and are
included in net sales.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are made with respect to the allowances related to accounts receivable
for customer deductions for returns, allowances and disputes. The Company has a certain amount of discontinued and irregular raw
materials and finished goods which necessitate the establishment of inventory reserves which are highly subjective. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
14
Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company’s allowances against accounts receivable are primarily
contractually agreed upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions
are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Historically, funding occurred in the fourth quarter of the fiscal
year causing the balance to be highest in the third quarter. However, beginning in fiscal year 2006, funding of the majority of the
Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis.
The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets,
consist of agreed upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. Consistent with the guidance provided
in EITF 01-9, all such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities.
When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments.
The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to the
appropriate levels. The timing of the customer initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the
allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have no impact on the consolidated
statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity.
The Company factors the majority of its receivables. In the event a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to credit
worthiness, the factor bears the risk of loss. The Company’s management must make estimates of the uncollectiblity of its non-
factored accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations,
customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in its customers’ payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its
allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable at April 1, 2007 totaled $12.9 million, net of allowances of $1.0
million.
Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of
sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalty amounts are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for
current sales trends by customers. Total royalty expenses, net of royalty income, included in cost of sales amounted to $4.3 million
and $4.7 million for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, respectively.
Inventory Valuation: The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires careful determination of the appropriate
dollar amount of the Company's inventory balances. Such amount is presented as a current asset in the Company's consolidated
balance sheets and is a direct determinant of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations and, therefore, has a significant impact
on the amount of net income reported in an accounting period. The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which is the sum of
expenditures and charges, both direct and indirect, incurred to bring the inventory quantities to their existing condition and location.
The Company's inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method,
which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the order in which they are manufactured or purchased. The Company utilizes
standard costs as a management tool. The Company's standard cost valuation of its inventories is adjusted at regular intervals to reflect
the approximate cost of the inventory under FIFO. The determination of the indirect charges and their allocation to the Company's
work-in-process and finished goods inventories is complex and requires significant management judgment and estimates. Material
differences may result in the valuation of the Company's inventories and in the amount and timing of the Company's cost of goods
sold and resulting net income for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
On a periodic basis, management reviews its inventory quantities on hand for obsolescence, physical deterioration, changes
in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be expected to be used or sold within the normal
operating cycles of the Company's operations. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or the utility of the
inventory quantities in the ordinary course of business is no longer as great as their carrying value, an allowance against the inventory
valuation is established. To the extent that this allowance is established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is
recorded in the Company's statement of operations in cost of goods sold. Significant management judgment is required in determining
the amount and adequacy of this allowance. In the event that actual results differ from management's estimates or these estimates and
judgments are revised in future periods, the Company may need to establish additional allowances which could materially impact the
Company's financial position and results of operations.
As of April 1, 2007, the Company's inventories totaled $7.1 million, net of allowances for discontinued, irregular, slow
moving and obsolete inventories of $0.3 million. Management believes that the Company's inventory valuation results in carrying the
inventory at lower of cost or market.
15
Provisions for Income Taxes: The provisions for income taxes include all currently payable federal, state and local taxes that
are based upon the Company's taxable income and the change during the fiscal year in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company provides for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In fiscal year 2005, deferred tax
assets were offset by a valuation allowance as available evidence did not indicate that the assets would be realized. In fiscal year
2006, the Company determined that, due to taxable earnings generated in recent years, it is more likely than not that the benefit would
be realized prior to the expiration of its net operating loss carryforward.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, Identifiable Intangibles and Goodwill: The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset
may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. Assets to be disposed of, if any,
are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal
and are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet.
Goodwill, which represents the unamortized excess of purchase price over fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in
business combinations, was amortized through March 31, 2002 using the straight-line method over periods of up to 30 years. The
Company discontinued amortization of goodwill effective April 1, 2002. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill
annually and sooner if facts and circumstances suggest that the asset may be impaired. Impairment of goodwill and write-downs, if
any, are measured based on estimates of future cash flows. Goodwill is stated net of accumulated amortization of $6.4 million at April
1, 2007 and $6.3 million at April 2, 2006 and April 3, 2005. Net intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill, including property
and equipment, amounted to $24.9 million as of April 1, 2007.
On April 1, 2002, the Company implemented SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result, the
Company discontinued amortizing goodwill but continued to amortize other long-lived intangible assets. In lieu of amortization, the
Company is required to perform an annual impairment review of its goodwill. The Company has performed a transitional fair value
based impairment test on its goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142. With the exception of goodwill related to Churchill, the
Company determined that the fair value exceeded the recorded value at March 29, 2004, April 4, 2005, and April 3, 2006. Churchill’s
goodwill of $90,000 was written off in June 2006 due to an impairment indicator, the decline in sales volume and decline in
profitability in recent years.
Recently-Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Statement
No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides companies an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 159 and has not determined yet the impact that the adoption
of SFAS No. 159 will have on its result of operations or financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued
financial statements for that fiscal year including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is
assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its result of operations
or financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to
reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income
taxes. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the
impact of adopting FIN 48.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, changes in commodity prices, changes in
international trade regulations, the concentration of the Company’s customers and the Company’s reliance upon licenses. The
Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to the Company’s floating rate debt, of which there was $2.7 million outstanding at
April 1, 2007 and no balance outstanding at April 2, 2006. Each 1.0 percentage point increase in interest rates would impact pre-tax
earnings by $27,000 at the debt level of April 1, 2007. The Company’s exposure to commodity price risk primarily relates to changes
in the price of cotton and oil, which are the principal raw materials used in a substantial number of the Company’s products. Also,
changes in import quantity allotments can materially impact the availability of the Company’s products and the prices at which those
products can be purchased by the Company for resale. Additionally, the Company’s top three customers represent 78% of gross sales,
and 39% of the Company’s gross sales is of licensed products. The Company could be materially impacted by the loss of one or more
of these customers or licenses.
ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
See pages 18 and F-1 through F-16 hereof.
ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
The Company has neither changed its independent accountants nor had any disagreements on accounting or financial
disclosure with such accountants.
ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-
15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered
by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the quarter ended April 1, 2007, there was not any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Crown Crafts, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Crafts, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 1,
2007 and April 2, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
fiscal years ended April 1, 2007, April 2, 2006 and April 3, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed at
Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Crafts,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
fiscal years ended April 1, 2007, April 2, 2006 and April 3, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-
based compensation to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

Crown Crafts, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Fiscal Years Ended April 1, 2007, April 2, 2006 and April 3, 2005
Note 1 – Description of Business
Crown Crafts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate in the Infant Products segment within the
Consumer Products industry. The Infant Products segment consists of infant bedding, bibs, infant soft goods and accessories. Sales
are generally made directly to retailers, primarily mass merchants, large chain stores, gift stores and department and specialty stores.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest March 31. Fiscal years are designated in the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto by reference to the calendar year within which the fiscal year ends. The consolidated financial statements
encompass 52 weeks for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 and 53 weeks for fiscal year 2005.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are made with respect to the allowances related to accounts receivable
for customer deductions for returns, allowances, and disputes. The Company has a certain amount of discontinued and irregular raw
materials and finished goods which necessitate the establishment of inventory reserves that are highly subjective. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
• Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable – For those short term instruments, the
carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
• Long term debt – Rates estimated for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities to companies in a similar
financial situation as the Company are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt. The carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to customers and are reported net of allowances for
estimated returns and allowances in the consolidated statements of income. Allowances for returns are estimated based on historical
rates. Allowances for returns, advertising allowances, warehouse allowances and volume rebates are netted against sales. These
allowances are recorded commensurate with sales activity and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the
results of operations. Shipping and handling costs, net of amounts reimbursed by customers, are relatively insignificant and are
included in net sales.
Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company’s allowances against accounts receivable are primarily
contractually agreed upon deductions for items such as advertising and warehouse allowances and volume rebates. These deductions
are recorded throughout the year commensurate with sales activity. Historically, funding occurred in the fourth quarter of the fiscal
year causing the balance to be highest in the third quarter. However, beginning in fiscal year 2006, funding of the majority of the
Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis.
The allowances for customer deductions, which are netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets,
consist of agreed upon advertising support, markdowns and warehouse and other allowances. Consistent with the guidance provided
in EITF 01-9, all such allowances are recorded as direct offsets to sales and such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activities.
When a customer requests deductions, the allowances are reduced to reflect such payments.
F-6
The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer deductions monthly and adjusts the allowances to the
appropriate levels. The timing of the customer initiated funding requests for advertising support can cause the net balance in the
allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should have no impact on the consolidated
statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity.
Inventory Valuation: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, where cost is determined using the first-in, first-
out method.
Royalty Payments: The Company has entered into agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of
sales with certain minimum guaranteed amounts. These royalty amounts are accrued based upon historical sales rates adjusted for
current sales trends by customers. Total royalty expense, net of royalty income, included in cost of sales amounted to $4.3 million,
$4.7 million, and $5.0 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings, three to seven and one-
half years for machinery and equipment, five years for data processing equipment, and eight years for furniture and fixtures. The cost
of improvements to leased premises is amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the improvement or the term of the lease.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Identifiable Intangibles and Goodwill: The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset
may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. Assets to be disposed of, if any,
are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal
and are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill, which represents the unamortized excess of purchase price over fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in
business combinations, was amortized through March 31, 2002 using the straight-line method over periods of up to 30 years. The
Company discontinued amortization of goodwill effective April 1, 2002. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill
annually and sooner if facts and circumstances suggest that the asset may be impaired. Impairment of goodwill and write-downs, if
any, are measured based on estimates of future cash flows. Churchill’s goodwill of $90,000 was written off in June 2006 due to an
impairment indicator, the decline in sales volume and decline in profitability in recent years. Goodwill is stated net of accumulated
amortization of $6.3 million at April 1, 2007, April 2, 2006 and April 3, 2005. Net intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill,
including property and equipment, amounted to $24.9 million as of April 1, 2007.
Provisions for Income Taxes: In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, management determined that due to taxable earnings
generated in recent years, it was more likely than not that the benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards would be
realized over time prior to their expiration; consequently, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance account was removed at April 2,
2006. As a result of the removal of the deferred tax valuation allowance, the Company’s net income tax expense in periods
subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 will include federal as well as state and local income taxes.
Excluding the impact of the gain on debt refinancing, the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 was approximately 43%.
Approximately $3.1 million of the gain on debt refinancing related to the reversal of previously recognized debt-related expenses that
were not deductible for federal tax purposes; consequently, the gain from the reversal of such expenses was not taxable. The debt-
related expenses pertained to the amortization of the original issue discount on the previously issued non-interest bearing subordinated
debt. Total tax expense related to the gain on debt refinancing was $373,000 representing an effective tax rate of 9.2%.
Segments and Related Information: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This statement requires certain information to be reported
about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure. The Company operates
primarily in one principal segment, infant and juvenile products. These products consist of infant bedding, bibs, soft goods and
juvenile products (primarily Pillow Buddies®).
F-7
Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex
capital structures. Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Basic and diluted weighted average shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that the
proceeds from the exercise of all options are used to repurchase common shares at market value. The number of shares remaining
after the exercise proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the options. The following table sets forth the
computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This
statement provides companies an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of
the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 159 and has not
determined yet the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its result of operations or financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued
financial statements for that fiscal year including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is
assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its result of operations
or financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to
reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income
taxes. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the
impact of adopting FIN 48.

Note 3 – Acquisitions
On December 29, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc., acquired
substantially all of the assets of Kimberly Grant, Inc., a designer of various infant, toddler and juvenile products. The following table
summarizes the allocation of the $550,000 paid at closing and the $50,000 paid upon renewal of the acquired “Kimberly Grant”
trademark based upon fair values of the assets acquired assumed at the date of the acquisition. The fair values of certain intangibles
were based upon a third-party valuation of such assets.

Note 4 – Churchill Weavers
On February 2, 2007, the Company announced that it would liquidate Churchill. Goodwill of $90,000 associated with the
acquisition of Churchill was written-off in June 2006. In anticipation of the liquidation of Churchill, the Company recorded valuation
allowances approximating $550,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to reflect the expected net realizable value of Churchill’s
receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company sold the Churchill Weavers
name, together with Churchill’s other intellectual property, domain name and website, yarn inventory, looms and other weaving,
sewing and laundry equipment for $275,000. The Company also sold a small portion of the Churchill property in Berea, Kentucky,
and Churchill’s archives and certain antiquities for $110,000. As a result of these sales, the Company recorded miscellaneous income
of $337,000 in the fourth quarter.
The Company has begun marketing Churchill’s land, building and equipment for sale. The property has been appraised at
greater than net book value. In accordance with accounting guidelines, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the property is expected
to be classified as Assets Held for Sale in the Balance Sheet and the operations of Churchill are expected to be classified as
Discontinued Operations in the Statement of Income. These classifications were not used prior to the end of fiscal year 2007 because
Churchill’s operations were continuing at that time. The closure of Churchill is not expected to have a significant financial impact
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Note 6 - Financing Arrangements
Factoring Agreement: The Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to a commercial factor. Under the
terms of the factoring agreement, the factor remits payments to the Company on the average due date of each group of invoices
assigned. The factor bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable that are within approved credit limits. The
Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances, claims and discounts. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, were $236,000, $250,000, and $348,000, respectively, in 2007,
2006, and 2005. Factor advances were $0 at both April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006.
Notes Payable and Other Credit Facilities: At April 1, 2007 and April 2, 2006, long term debt consisted of (in thousands):

The Company’s credit facilities at April 1, 2007 include the following:
Revolving Credit of up to $22 million, including a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The interest rate is prime minus
1.00% (7.25% at April 1, 2007) for base rate borrowings or LIBOR plus 2.25% (7.57% at April 1, 2007). The maturity date
is July 11, 2009. The facility is secured by a first lien on all assets. There was $2.7 million outstanding under the revolving
credit facility at April 1, 2007. Based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances as of April 1, 2007, the
Company had revolving credit availability of $11.5 million. As of April 1, 2007, letters of credit of $630,000 were
outstanding against the $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit.
The financing agreement for the $22 million revolving credit facility contains usual and customary covenants for transactions
of this type, including limitations on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or
consolidation transactions, dividends, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational
documents for the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of April 1, 2007.
Subordinated Notes of $4 million. The notes do not bear interest and are due in two equal installments of $2 million each,
the first of which is payable on July 11, 2010 and the second of which is payable on July 11, 2011. The original issue
discount of $1.1 million on this non-interest bearing obligation at a market interest rate of 7.25% is being amortized over the
life of the notes. The remaining unamortized balance of $966,000 is included in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1,
2007.
As of April 2, 2006, the Company had senior subordinated notes of $16 million with a fixed interest rate of 10% plus an
additional 1.65% payable by delivery of a promissory note for which $1.1 million had been accrued and a non-interest bearing note of
$8 million carried at a book value of $6.8 million, net of unamortized original issue discount. These balances were refinanced on July
11, 2006 using internally generated cash and funds available under the revolving credit line described above. Concurrent with the
refinancing of the senior subordinated notes, the Company settled the $8 million non-interest bearing note and extinguished related
common stock purchase warrants by issuance of the $4 million subordinated notes described above. The refinancing resulted in a gain
of $4.1 million ($3.7 million net of tax) reported in the quarter ended October 1, 2006. Approximately $3.1 million of the gain was
not subject to federal income tax.
F-10
As part of the Company’s refinancing of its credit facilities in July 2001, the Company issued to its lenders warrants for non-
voting common stock that were convertible into common stock equivalent to 65% of the shares of the Company on a fully diluted
basis at a price of 11.3 cents per share. The warrants were surrendered and extinguished in connection with the issuance of the
subordinated notes discussed above. The dilutive effect of these warrants on earnings per share for the fiscal periods ended April 2,
2006 and April 3, 2005 was $0.43 per share and $0.13 per share, respectively.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance its cash flow, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts
receivable to a commercial factor. The Company’s factor establishes customer credit lines and accounts for and collects receivable
balances. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, which expires in July, 2009, the factor remits payments to the Company on the
average due date of each group of invoices assigned. If a customer fails to pay the factor on the due date, the Company is charged
interest at prime less 1.0%, which was 7.25% at April 1, 2007, until payment is received. The factor bears credit losses with respect to
assigned accounts receivable that are within approved credit limits. The Company bears losses resulting from returns, allowances,
claims and discounts. The Company’s factor at any time may terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If
such a termination occurs, the Company may either assume the credit risks for shipments after the date of such termination or cease
shipments to such customer.

As of April 1, 2007, the Company has federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards totaling $3.6 million which begin
expiring in the year ending March 2021. In fiscal year 2005, deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation allowance as available
evidence did not indicate that the assets would be realized. In fiscal year 2006, the Company determined that, due to taxable earnings
generated in recent years, it is more likely than not that the benefit would be realized over time prior to the expiration of the net
operating loss carryforward. The effect of this change in estimate to remove the valuation allowance was to decrease income tax
expense and increase net income by approximately $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.
The following reconciles the income tax expense (benefit) at the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate to that in the

The Company maintains an Employee Savings Plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers
substantially all employees. In fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, employees could elect to exclude up to a maximum of $15,000,
$14,000 and $13,000 of their compensation, respectively, in accordance with federal regulations. The board of directors determines
each calendar year the portion, if any, of employee contributions that will be matched by the Company. The Company's matching
contribution to the plan including the utilization of forfeitures was approximately $152,000, $153,000 and $176,000, respectively, for
fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005. This matching represents an amount equal to 100% of the first 2% of employee deferrals and 50%
of the next 1% of deferrals.
F-12
Note 9 – Stock-based Compensation
The Company has two incentive stock plans, the 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) and the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan
(“2006 Plan”). The Company granted non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors from the 1995 Plan
through the fiscal year ended April 2, 2006. In conjunction with the approval of the 2006 Plan by the Company’s stockholders at its
Annual Meeting in August 2006, options may no longer be issued from the 1995 Plan.
The 2006 Plan is intended to attract and retain directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to
motivate these persons to achieve performance objectives related to the Company’s overall goal of increasing stockholder value. The
principal reason for adopting the 2006 Plan is to ensure that the Company has a mechanism for long-term, equity-based incentive
compensation to directors, officers and employees. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan may be in the form of qualified or non-
qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), long-term incentive compensation units consisting of a
combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination thereof within the limitations set forth in the
2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, which selects eligible employees
and non-employee directors to participate in the 2006 Plan and determines the type, amount and duration of individual awards.
On April 3, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This standard requires expensing of stock
options and other share-based payments and supersedes SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related implementation guidance that had
previously allowed companies to choose between expensing stock options or providing pro-forma disclosure only. SFAS No. 123(R)
eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No.
25 and instead requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. In addition, the SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin 107 in April 2005, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123(R).
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS
No. 123(R), consistent with the method previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. The Company elected to use
the modified prospective transition method permitted by SFAS No. 123(R). Under the modified prospective method, SFAS No.
123(R) applies to new awards issued on or after April 3, 2006 as well as the unvested portion of awards that were outstanding as of
April 2, 2006, including those that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective approach,
compensation cost recognized in fiscal year 2007 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of, April 2, 2006 in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the
impact of adopting the new standard.
Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company measured compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plan
using the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.
The Company also used the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and
earnings per share for fiscal year 2006 and 2005 had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant
date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123(R).

As of April 1, 2007, total unrecognized stock-option compensation costs amounted to $311,000. Unvested stock option
compensation costs will be recognized as the underlying stock options vest over a period of up to two years. The amount of
unrecognized stock-option compensation will be affected by any future stock option grants and by the termination of any employee
that has received stock options that are unvested as of such employee’s termination date. The aggregate intrinsic value of options
outstanding and options exercisable at April 1, 2007 was $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
F-14
Non-vested Stock: The fair value of non-vested stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted
closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. All non-vested stock awards issued under the 2006 Plan vest
based upon continued service.
During the quarter ended October 1, 2006, the Company granted 375,000 shares of non-vested stock with a weighted-average
grant date fair value of $3.15. These shares have four-year cliff vesting. The Company recognized $172,000 in fiscal year 2007 that
was included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The deferred
amount is being amortized by monthly charges to earnings over the four-year vesting period.
As of April 1, 2007, the amount of unrecognized non-vested stock compensation costs amounted to $1.0 million. The
amount of unrecognized non-vested stock compensation will be affected by any future non-vested stock grants and by the separation
from the Company of any employee who has received non-vested stock grants that are unvested as of such employee’s separation
date.

The Company is a party to various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims and workers’
compensation claims. While the outcome of these routine claims and legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty,
management believes that the outcome of such proceedings in the aggregate, even if determined adversely, would not have a material
adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
