In addition to all three businesses operating in unprecedented and challenging conditions, the company spent a considerable amount of energy on reducing the overall cost structure of the organization.

As we look toward FY 2017, we will be vigilant in protecting our core: businesses, team members, customers, and product lines. In order to protect our core, we must strive to be the best in our core products and (cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:92)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:75)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:16)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:16)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:92)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:192)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:82)(cid:3) this by accelerating our innovation and strengthening our quality.

Forward-Looking StatementsThis Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Annual Report) contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Generally, forward-lookingstatements can be identified by words such as "may," "will," "plan," "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "potential," “should,” “estimate,” “predict,”“project,” “would,” and similar expressions, which are generally not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not meanthat a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in thefuture - including statements relating to our future operating or financial performance or events, our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financialposition, our liquidity and capital resources, and our product development - are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-lookingstatements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because suchstatements speak only as of the date when made. Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as aresult of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknownrisks, uncertainties and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s historical experience and our present expectations orprojections.Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions, and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We haveincluded important risk factors in the cautionary statements included in this Annual Report, particularly in Part 1 - Item 1A and in our other public filings with theSEC that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make.You should read this Annual Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the Annual Report completely and with the understanding that our actualfuture results may be materially different from what we expect. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we do notundertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of newinformation, future events or otherwise.PART I Item 1.BUSINESS 3Item 1A.RISK FACTORS 6Item 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS 11Item 2.PROPERTIES 11Item 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 11Item 4.MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES 12 PART II Item 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OFEQUITY SECURITIES 12 Quarterly Information 12 Stock Performance 14Item 6.SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA 16 Eleven-year Financial Summary 16 Business Segments 18Item 7.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 19 Executive Summary 19 Results of Operations - Segment Analysis 25 Outlook 30 Liquidity and Capital Resources 30 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations 32 Critical Accounting Estimates 34 Accounting Pronouncements 41 Forward-Looking Statements 41Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 44Item 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 45 Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 46 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 48 Consolidated Balance Sheets 50 Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income 51 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity 52 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 53 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 54Item 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE 84Item 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 84Item 9B.OTHER INFORMATION 87 PART III Item 10.DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 87Item 11.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 87Item 12.SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDERMATTERS 87Item 13.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE 87Item 14.PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES 87 PART IV Item 15.EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE 87INDEX TO EXHIBITS 88SIGNATURES 90SCHEDULE II 91PART I ITEM 1.BUSINESSRaven Industries, Inc. (the Company or Raven) was incorporated in February 1956 under the laws of the State of South Dakota and began operations later thatsame year. The Company is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, energy, construction,and defense markets. The Company markets its products around the world and has its principal operations in the United States of America. Raven began operationsas a manufacturer of high-altitude research balloons before diversifying into product lines that extended from technologies and production methods of this originalballoon business. The Company employs approximately 910 people and is headquartered at 205 E. Sixth Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57104 - telephone (605) 336-2750.The Company's Internet address is http://www.ravenind.com and its common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol RAVN.The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to all officers, directors and employees, which is available on the website. Information on the Company'swebsite is not part of this filing.All reports (including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K) and proxy and information statementsfiled with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are available through a link from the Company's website to the SEC website. All such information isavailable as soon as reasonably practicable after it has been electronically filed. Filings can also be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company or the SEC.The SEC can be contacted through its website at http://www.sec.gov or through the SEC's Office of FOIA/PA Operations at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, DC20549-2736, or by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330.BUSINESS SEGMENTSThe Company has three unique operating units, or divisions, that are also its reportable segments: Applied Technology Division (Applied Technology), EngineeredFilms Division (Engineered Films), and Aerostar Division (Aerostar). Many of the past and present product lines are an extension of technology and productionmethods developed in the original balloon business. Product lines have been grouped in these segments based on common technologies, production methods, andinventories; however, more than one business segment may serve each of the product markets identified above. The Company measures the profitabilityperformance of its segments primarily based on their operating income excluding administrative and general expenses. Other expense and income taxes are notallocated to individual operating segments, and assets not identifiable to an individual segment are included as corporate assets. Segment information is reportedconsistent with the Company's management reporting structure.Business segment financial information is found on the following pages of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Form 10-K/A):18Business Segments25Results of Operations – Segment Analysis81Note 16 Business Segments and Major Customer InformationApplied TechnologyApplied Technology designs, manufactures, sells, and services innovative precision agriculture products and information management tools that help growersreduce costs, decrease inputs, and improve farm yields around the world. The Applied Technology product families include field computers, application controls,GPS-guidance and assisted-steering systems, automatic boom controls, planter controls, and harvest controls. Applied Technology's services include high-speed in-field Internet connectivity and cloud-based data management. The Company's investment in Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. (SST), a softwarecompany, and the continued build-out of the Slingshot™ platform have positioned Applied Technology as an information platform that improves grower decision-making and business efficiencies for our agriculture retail partners.Applied Technology sells its precision agriculture control products to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and through aftermarket distribution partnersin the United States and in most major agricultural areas around the world. Applied Technology has personnel and third-party distribution representatives locatedin the U.S. and key geographic areas throughout the world. The Company's competitive advantage in this segment is designing and selling easy to use, reliable, andinnovative value-added products that are supported by an industry-leading service and support team.3 Engineered FilmsEngineered Films produces high-performance plastic films and sheeting for energy, agricultural, construction, geomembrane, and industrial applications.Engineered Films primarily sells plastic sheeting to independent third-party distributors in each of the various markets it serves. Through the acquisition of IntegraPlastics, Inc. (Integra) in November 2014, Engineered Films also leverages a direct sales channel in the division’s energy market. The Company extrudes asignificant portion of the film converted for its commercial products and believes it is one of the largest sheeting converters in the United States in the markets itserves. Engineered Films believes its ability to both extrude and convert films allows it to provide a more customized solution to customers. A number of suppliersof sheeting compete with the Company on both price and product availability. Engineered Films is the Company's most capital-intensive business segment, andhistorically has made sizable investments in new extrusion capacity and conversion equipment. This segment's capital expenditures were $ 10.8 million in fiscal2016, $8.2 million in fiscal 2015, and $ 6.7 million in fiscal 2014.AerostarAerostar serves the defense/aerospace and situational awareness markets. Aerostar's products include high-altitude balloons, tethered aerostats, and radarprocessing systems. These products can be integrated with additional third-party sensors to provide research, communications, and situational awarenesscapabilities to governmental and commercial customers. Aerostar’s growth strategy emphasizes the design and manufacture of proprietary products in thesemarkets. In previous years, Aerostar also provided contract manufacturing services. During this last year the Company largely exited this business. Net sales fromcontract manufacturing in fiscal 2016 were $4.7 million, compared to $31.7 million in fiscal 2015 and $51.3 million in fiscal 2014. The planned wind-down ofcontract manufacturing is now complete.The acquisition of Vista Research, Inc. (Vista) in January 2012 positioned the Company to meet global demand for lower-cost target detection and trackingsystems used by government agencies. Through Vista and a separate business venture that is majority-owned by the Company, Aerostar pursues potential productand support services contracts for agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government as well as sales of advanced radar systems, high-altitude balloons, andaerostats in international markets. In some cases, such sales will be Direct Commercial Sales to foreign governments rather than Foreign Military Sales through theU.S. government.Aerostar sells to government agencies or commercial users primarily as a sub-contractor. The projects Aerostar bids on can be large-scale, with opportunities in the$10-$50 million range. Further, Direct Commercial Sales to foreign governments often involve large contracts subject to frequent delays because of budgetuncertainties, regional military conflicts, and protracted negotiation processes. The timing of contract wins results in volatility in Aerostar’s results.MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATIONNo customers accounted for 10% or more of consolidated sales in fiscal 2016 . Sales to Brawler Industrial Fabrics, a customer in the Engineered Films Division,accounted for 14% , and 13% of consolidated sales in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 .SEASONAL WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSSome seasonal demand exists in Applied Technology's agricultural market. Applied Technology builds product in the fall for winter and spring delivery. Certainsales to agricultural customers offer spring payment terms for fall and early winter shipments. The resulting fluctuations in inventory and accounts receivable haverequired, and may require, seasonal short-term financing.Engineered Films also sees seasonal demand peak in the second and third fiscal quarters.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSThe principal financial instruments that the Company maintains are cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruedliabilities, and acquisition-related contingent payments. The Company manages the interest rate, credit, and market risks associated with these accounts throughperiodic reviews of the carrying value of assets and liabilities and establishment of appropriate allowances in accordance with Company policies. The Companydoes not use off-balance sheet financing, except to enter into operating leases.The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency risk. The use of these financial instruments has had no material effect onconsolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.4 RAW MATERIALSThe Company obtains a wide variety of materials from numerous vendors. Principal materials include electronic components for Aerostar and AppliedTechnology, various plastic resins for Engineered Films, and fabrics for Aerostar. Engineered Films has experienced volatile resin prices over the past three years.Price increases could not always be passed on to customers due to weak demand and a competitive pricing environment. Predicting future material volatility andthe related potential impact on the Company is not possible.PATENTSThe Company owns a number of patents. The Company does not believe that its business, as a whole, is materially dependent on any one patent or related group ofpatents. As the Company continues to develop more technology-based offerings, protection of the Company’s intellectual property has become an increasinglyimportant strategic objective. Along with a more aggressive posture toward patenting new technology and protecting trade secrets, the Company has restrictions onthe disclosure of our technology to industry and business partners to ensure that our intellectual property is maintained and protected.RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTThe business segments conduct ongoing research and development efforts. Most of the Company's research and development expenditures are directed toward newproduct development, particularly in the Applied Technology Division. Total Company research and development costs are presented in the ConsolidatedStatements of Income and Comprehensive Income.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERSThe Company believes that, in all material respects, it is in compliance with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Expendituresincurred in the past relating to compliance for operating facilities have not significantly affected the Company's capital expenditures, earnings, or competitiveposition.In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's Glasstite, Inc. subsidiary in fiscal 2000, the Company agreed to assume responsibilityfor the investigation and remediation of any pre-October 29, 1999, environmental contamination at the Company's former Glasstite pickup-truck topper facility inDunnell, Minnesota, as required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) or the United States Environmental Protection Agency.The Company and the purchasers of the Company's Glasstite subsidiary conducted environmental assessments of the properties. Although these assessmentscontinue to be evaluated by the MPCA on the basis of the data available, the Company believes that any activities that might be required as a result of the findingsof the assessments will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The Company had $37 thousandaccrued at January 31, 2016 , representing its best estimate of probable costs to be incurred related to this and all other environmental matters.BACKLOGAs of February 1, 2016 , the Company's order backlog totaled approximately $18.6 million . Backlog amounts as of February 1, 2015 and 2014 were $26.7 millionand $51.8 million , respectively. Because the length of time between order and shipment varies considerably by business segment and customers can changedelivery schedules or potentially cancel orders, the Company does not believe that backlog, as of any particular date, is necessarily indicative of actual net sales forany future period.EMPLOYEESAs of January 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 910 employees. Following is a summary of active employees by segment: Applied Technology - 363 ;Engineered Films - 298 ; Aerostar - 175 ; and Corporate Services - 75 . Management believes its employee relations are satisfactory.5 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Name, Age and Position Biographical DataDaniel A.

Set forth below are the most important risks we face. In evaluating our business and your investment in us, youshould also consider the other information presented in or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in ourconsolidated financial statements. We may be unable to develop, implement, and maintain appropriate controls in future periods which could adversely affectour ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in ourcompany and, as a result, the value of our common stock.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under theExchange Act. In Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures” of this Amendment, management reported the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control overfinancial reporting. The material weaknesses resulted in errors in our previously filed annual audited and interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.6A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that amaterial misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.As a result of the material weaknesses, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 31, 2016 andremains ineffective as of the date of this amended filing. The assessment was based on criteria described by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of theTreadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Also as a result of the material weaknesses, we concluded that our disclosure controlsand procedures (as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were not effective as of January 31, 2016and remain ineffective as of the date of this amended filing. We are actively engaged in remediation activities designed to address the material weaknesses, but ourremediation efforts are not complete and are ongoing. If our remediation measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional materialweaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, material misstatements in our consolidated financial statementscould occur which could result in a further restatement of our consolidated financial statements and may materially adversely affect our ability to report ourfinancial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner. Although we continually review and evaluate our internal controls, we cannot assureyou that we will not discover additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The next time we evaluate our internal control overfinancial reporting, if we identify one or more new material weaknesses or are unable to timely remediate our existing material weaknesses, we may be unable toassert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registeredpublic accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in theaccuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.As a result of our inability to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2016 or the Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2016, the Company has become non-compliant with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC(NASDAQ) Listing Rule 5250(c) (1). This rule requires the Company to file its Forms 10-Q with the SEC within 45 days of the end of the quarter. Although theCompany has filed a plan with NASDAQ to become compliant and expects to make the required filings, if we continue to be unable to comply with the NASDAQrequirements, our common stock may be delisted.We could also become subject to private litigation or investigations, or one or more government enforcement actions, arising out of the errors in our previouslyissued financial statements. Our management may be required to devote significant time and attention to these matters, and these and any additional matters thatarise could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows.The restatement of our previously issued financial statements has been time-consuming and expensive and could expose us to additional risks that couldmaterially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.We have incurred expenses, including audit, legal, consulting and other professional fees in connection with the restatement of our previously issued financialstatements and the ongoing remediation of weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of steps, including addingsignificant internal resources and have implemented a number of additional procedures in order to strengthen our internal control and risk assessment function. Tothe extent these steps are not successful, we could be forced to incur additional time and expense. Our management’s attention has also been diverted from theoperation of our business in connection with the restatements and ongoing remediation of material weaknesses in our internal controls.Weather conditions could affect certain of the Company's markets such as agriculture and construction.The Company's Applied Technology Division is largely dependent on the ability of farmers, agricultural service providers, and custom operators to purchaseagricultural equipment that includes its products. If such farmers experience adverse weather conditions resulting in poor growing conditions, or experienceunfavorable crop prices or expenses, potential buyers may be less likely to purchase agricultural equipment. Conversely, if farmers experience favorable weatherand growing conditions, high yields could result in unfavorable crop prices and lower farm income making potential buyers less likely to purchase agriculturalequipment. Accordingly, weather conditions may adversely affect sales in the Applied Technology Division.Weather conditions can also adversely affect sales in the Company's Engineered Films Division. To the extent weather conditions curtail construction oragricultural activity, such as a late spring or drought, sales of the segment's plastic sheeting would likely decrease.Seasonal, weather-related and market demand variation could also affect quarterly results. If expected sales are deferred in a fiscal quarter while inventory has beenbuilt and operating expenses incurred, financial results could be negatively impacted.7Price fluctuations in and shortages of raw materials could have a significant impact on the Company's ability to sustain and grow earnings.The Company's Engineered Films Division consumes significant amounts of plastic resin, the cost of which depends upon market prices for natural gas and oil andother market forces. These prices are subject to worldwide supply and demand as well as other factors beyond the control of the Company. Although theEngineered Films Division is sometimes able to pass on such price increases to its customers, significant variations in the cost of plastic resins can affect theCompany's operating results from period to period. Unusual supply disruptions, such as one caused by a natural disaster, could cause suppliers to invoke “forcemajeure” clauses in their supply agreements, causing shortages of material. Success in offsetting higher raw material costs with price increases is largelyinfluenced by competitive and economic conditions and could vary significantly depending on the market served. If the Company is not able to fully offset theeffects of adverse materials availability and correspondingly higher costs, financial results could be adversely affected.Electronic components used by both the Applied Technology Division and Aerostar Division, are sometimes in short supply, impacting our ability to meetcustomer demand.If a supplier of raw materials or components was unable to deliver due to shortage or financial difficulty, any of the Company's segments could be adverselyaffected.Fluctuations in commodity prices can increase our costs and decrease our sales.Agricultural income levels are affected by agricultural commodity prices and input costs. As a result, changes in commodity prices that reduce agricultural incomelevels could have a negative effect on the ability of growers and their service providers to purchase the Company's precision agriculture products manufactured byits Applied Technology Division.Exploration for oil and natural gas fluctuates with their price and recent energy market conditions suggest that while end-market conditions are not likely todeteriorate further, they are not likely to improve in the near term. Plastic sheeting manufactured and sold by our Engineered Films Division is sold as pit and pondliners to contain water used in the drilling process. Lower prices for oil and natural gas could reduce exploration activities and demand for our products.Plastic sheeting manufacturing uses plastic resins, which can be subject to changes in price as the cost of natural gas or oil changes. Accordingly, volatility in oiland natural gas prices may negatively affect our raw material costs and cost of goods sold and potentially cause us to increase prices, which could adversely affectour sales and/or profitability.Failure to develop and market new technologies and products could impact the Company's competitive position and have an adverse effect on the Company'sfinancial results.The Company's operating results in Applied Technology, Engineered Films, and Aerostar depend upon the ability to renew the pipeline of new products and tobring those products to market. This ability could be adversely affected by difficulties or delays in product development such as the inability to identify viable newproducts, successfully complete research and development, obtain relevant regulatory approvals, obtain intellectual property protection or gain market acceptanceof new products and services. Because of the lengthy development process, technological challenges, and intense competition, there can be no assurance that anyof the products the Company is currently developing, or could begin to develop in the future, will achieve substantial commercial success. Technical advancementsin products may also increase the risk of product failure, increasing product returns or warranty claims and settlements. In addition, sales of the Company's newproducts could replace sales of some of its current products, offsetting the benefit of even a successful product introduction.The Company's sales of products which are specialized and highly technical in nature are subject to uncertainties, start-up costs and inefficiencies, as well asmarket, competitive, and compliance risks.The Company’s growth strategy relies on the design and manufacture of proprietary products. Highly technical, specialized product inventories may be moresusceptible to fluctuations in market demand. If demand is unexpectedly low, write-downs or impairments of such inventory may become necessary. Either ofthese outcomes could adversely affect our results of operations. Start-up costs and inefficiencies can adversely affect operating results and such costs may not berecoverable in a proprietary product environment because the Company may not receive reimbursement from its customers for such costs.Competition in agriculture markets could come from our current customers if original equipment manufacturers develop and integrate precision agriculturetechnology products themselves rather than purchasing from third parties, reducing demand for Applied Technology’s products.8Regulatory restrictions could be placed on hydraulic fracturing because of environmental and health concerns, reducing demand for Engineered Film’s products.For Engineered Films, the development of alternative technologies, such as closed loop drilling processes that would reduce the need for pit liners in energyexploration, could also reduce demand for the Company’s products.Aerostar’s future growth relies on sales of high-altitude balloons, advanced radar systems, and aerostats to international markets. In some cases, such sales will beDirect Commercial Sales to foreign governments rather than Foreign Military Sales through the U.S. government. Direct Commercial Sales to foreign governmentsoften involve large contracts subject to frequent delays because of budget uncertainties, regional military conflicts, and protracted negotiation processes. Suchdelays could adversely affect our results of operations. The nature of these markets for Vista's radar systems and Aerostar's aerostats makes these productsparticularly susceptible to fluctuations in market demand. Demand fluctuations and the likelihood of delays in sales involving large contracts for such products alsoincrease the risk of these products becoming obsolete, increasing risk associated with expected sales of such products. The value of aerostat and radar systemsinventory at January 31, 2016 is approximately $12 million. This valuation is based on an estimate that the market demand for these products will be sufficient infuture periods such that these inventories will be sold at a price greater than carrying value. Write-downs or impairment of the value of such products carried ininventory could adversely affect our results of operations. To the extent products become obsolete or anticipated sales are not realized, our expected future cashflows could be adversely impacted. An impairment could adversely impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Sales of certain of Aerostar’s products into international markets increase the compliance risk associated with regulations such as The International Traffic in ArmsRegulations (ITAR), as well as others, exposing the Company to fines and its employees to fines, imprisonment, or civil penalties. Potential consequences of amaterial violation of such regulations include damage to our reputation, litigation, and increased costs.The Company's Aerostar segment depends on the U.S. government for a significant portion of its sales, creating uncertainty in the timing of and funding forprojected contracts.A significant portion of Aerostar's sales are to the U.S. government or U.S. government agencies as a prime or sub-contractor. Government spending hashistorically been cyclical. A decrease in U.S. government defense or near-space research spending or changes in spending allocations could result in one or more ofthe Company's programs being reduced, delayed, or terminated. Reductions in the Company's existing programs, unless offset by other programs and opportunities,could adversely affect its ability to sustain and grow its future sales and earnings. The Company's U.S. government sales are funded by the federal budget, whichoperates on an October-to-September fiscal year. Changes in congressional schedules, negotiations for program funding levels, reduced program funding due toU.S government debt limitations, automatic budget cuts ("sequestration") or unforeseen world events can interrupt the funding for a program or contract. Funds formulti-year contracts can be changed in subsequent years in the appropriations process.In addition, many U.S. government contracts are subject to a competitive bidding and funding process even after the award of the basic contract, adding anadditional element of uncertainty to future funding levels. Delays in the funding process or changes in funding can impact the timing of available funds or can leadto changes in program content or termination at the government's convenience. The loss of anticipated funding or the termination of multiple or large programscould have an adverse effect on the Company's future sales and earnings.The Company derives a portion of its revenues from foreign markets, which subjects the Company to business risks, including risk of changes in governmentpolicies and laws or worldwide economic conditions.The Company's sales outside the U.S. were $27.8 million in fiscal 2016, representing 11% of consolidated net sales. The Company's financial results could beaffected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, or other activities of U.S. and non-U.S. governments, agencies and similarorganizations, along with changes in worldwide economic conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, changes in a country's or region's economicor political condition; trade regulations affecting production, pricing, and marketing of products; local labor conditions and regulations; reduced protection ofintellectual property rights in some countries; changes in the regulatory or legal environment; restrictions on currency exchange activities; the impact offluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may affect product demand and may adversely affect the profitability of our products in U.S. dollars inforeign markets where payments are made in the local currency; burdensome taxes and tariffs; and other trade barriers. International risks and uncertainties alsoinclude changing social and economic conditions, terrorism, political hostilities and war, difficulty in enforcing agreements or collecting receivables, and increasedtransportation or other shipping costs. Any of these such risks could lead to reduced sales and reduced profitability associated with such sales.9Adverse economic conditions in the major industries the Company serves may materially affect segment performance and consolidated results of operations.The Company's results of operations are impacted by the market fundamentals of the primary industries served. Significant declines of economic activity in theagricultural, oil and gas exploration, construction, industrial, aerospace/aviation, defense and other major markets served may adversely affect segmentperformance and consolidated results of operations.The Company may pursue or complete acquisitions which represent additional risk and could impact future financial results.The Company's business strategy includes the potential for future acquisitions. Acquisitions involve a number of risks including integration of the acquiredcompany with the Company's operations and unanticipated liabilities or contingencies related to the acquired company. Further, business strategies supported bythe acquisition may be in perceived, or actual, opposition to strategies of certain of our customers and our business could be materially adversely affected if thoserelationships are terminated and the expected strategic benefits are delayed or are not achieved. The Company cannot ensure that the expected benefits of anyacquisition will be realized. Costs could be incurred on pursuits or proposed acquisitions that have not yet or may not close which could significantly impact theoperating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Additionally, after the acquisition, unforeseen issues could arise which adversely affect the anticipated returnsor which are otherwise not recoverable as an adjustment to the purchase price. Other acquisition risks include delays in realizing benefits from the acquiredcompanies or products; difficulties due to lack of or limited prior experience in any new product or geographic markets we enter; unforeseen adjustments, chargesor write-offs; unforeseen losses of customers of, or suppliers to, acquired businesses; difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired businesses; orchallenges arising from increased geographic diversity and complexity of our operations and our information technology systems.After the restatement and correction of goodwill and long-lived asset impairments reported in this form 10-K/A and explained in detail in Note 2 Restatement ofthe Audited Consolidated Financial Statements , total goodwill and intangible assets account for approximately $53.6 million, or 18%, of the Company's totalassets as of January 31, 2016. The Company evaluates goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually, or when evidence of potential impairment exists.The annual impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. Principally, a significant decrease in expected cash flows or changes in marketconditions may indicate potential impairment of recorded goodwill or intangible assets. Our expected future cash flows are dependent on several factors includingrevenue growth in certain of our product lines and an expectation that the pricing in commodities markets will recover in future periods. Our expected future cashflows could be adversely impacted if our anticipated revenue growth is not realized or if pricing in commodities markets does not recover in future periods. Animpairment could adversely impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition.The Company may fail to continue to attract, develop and retain key management and other key employees, which could negatively impact our operatingresults.We depend on the performance of our senior management team and other key employees, including experienced and skilled technical personnel. The loss ofcertain members of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, could negatively impact our operating results and ability to execute ourbusiness strategy. Our future success will also depend in part upon our ability to attract, train, motivate, and retain qualified personnel.The Company may fail to protect its intellectual property effectively, or may infringe upon the intellectual property of others .The Company has developed significant proprietary technology and other rights that are used in its businesses. The Company relies on trade secret, copyright,trademark, and patent laws and contractual provisions to protect the Company's intellectual property. While the Company takes enforcement of these rightsseriously, other companies such as competitors or persons in related markets in which the Company does not participate may attempt to copy or use the Company'sintellectual property for their own benefit.In addition, intellectual property of others also has an impact on the Company's ability to offer some of its products and services for specific uses or at competitiveprices. Competitors' patents or other intellectual property may limit the Company's ability to offer products and services to its customers. Any infringement orclaimed infringement of the intellectual property rights of others could result in litigation and adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to provide, orcould increase the cost of providing, products and services.Intellectual property litigation is very costly and could result in substantial expense and diversions of the Company's resources, both of which could adverselyaffect its businesses and financial condition and results. In addition, there may be no effective legal recourse against infringement of the Company's intellectualproperty by third parties, whether due to limitations on enforcement of rights in foreign jurisdictions or as a result of other factors.10Technology failures or cyber-attacks on the Company's systems could disrupt the Company's operations or the functionality of its products and negativelyimpact the Company's business.The Company increasingly relies on information technology systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information. In addition, a significant portion ofinternal communications, as well as communication with customers and suppliers depends on information technology. Further, the products in our AppliedTechnology segment depend upon GPS and other systems through which our products interact with government computer systems and other centralizedinformation sources. We are exposed to the risk of cyber incidents in the normal course of business. Cyber incidents may be deliberate attacks for the theft ofintellectual property or other sensitive information or may be the result of unintentional events. Like most companies, the Company's information technologysystems may be vulnerable to interruption due to a variety of events beyond the Company's control, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks,telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers, and other security issues. Further, attacks on centralized information sources could affect the operation ofour products or cause them to malfunction. The Company has technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans in place to mitigate the Company's risk tothese vulnerabilities, but these measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to ensure that the Company's operations are not disrupted. Potentialconsequences of a material cyber incident include damage to our reputation, litigation, and increased cyber security protection and remediation costs. Suchconsequences could adversely affect our results of operations.ITEM 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNone.ITEM 2.PROPERTIESRaven's corporate office is located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Along with the corporate headquarters building, the Company also owns separate manufacturingfacilities for each of our business segments as well as various warehouses, training, and product development facilities in the immediate Sioux Falls area.In addition to its Sioux Falls facilities, Applied Technology owns a product development facility in Austin, Texas and an idle manufacturing facility in St. Louis,Missouri that is actively being marketed for sale. Applied Technology also leases manufacturing, research, and office facilities in Middenmeer, Netherlands andGeel, Belgium and office/warehouse space in Stockholm, Saskatchewan Canada. In addition, Applied Technology leases smaller research and office facilities inSouth Dakota. Engineered Films has additional owned production and conversion facilities located in Madison and Brandon, South Dakota and Midland, Texas.Aerostar owns manufacturing, sewing, and research facilities located in Madison, South Dakota, and Sulphur Springs, Texas. Aerostar's subsidiary Vista alsoleases facilities in Arlington, Virginia and in Monterey, Chatsworth, and Sunnyvale, California.Most of the Company's manufacturing plants also serve as distribution centers and contain offices for sales, engineering, and manufacturing support staff. TheCompany believes that its properties are suitable and adequate to meet existing production needs. Although there is idle capacity available in the Engineered FilmsDivision, the productive capacity in the Company's facilities is substantially being used. The Company also owns approximately 29.6 acres of undeveloped landadjacent to the other owned property, which is available for expansion.The following is the approximate square footage of the Company's owned or leased facilities by segment: Applied Technology - 182,000; Engineered Films -606,000; Aerostar - 331,000; and Corporate - 150,000 .ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGSThe Company is responsible for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at one of its sold facilities (see Item 1, Business - EnvironmentalMatters of this Form 10-K/A). In addition, the Company is involved as a party in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course ofits business. The potential costs and liability of such claims cannot be determined at this time. Management believes that any liability resulting from these claimswill be substantially mitigated by insurance coverage. Accordingly, management does not believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will be significant to itsresults of operations, financial position or cash flows.11ITEM 4.MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.PART II ITEM 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUERPURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESThe Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol RAVN.

Certain of these amounts reflect the impact of restatement adjustments. Specifically, the three-month period ended October 31, 2015 includes restatementadjustments increasing Gross Profit, and reducing Operating Income, Pre-tax Income, Net Income Attributable to Raven and Net Income per share of $801, $7,096, $7,096 $4,607 and$0.13, respectively. The restatement adjustments resulted in a (i) $4,084 increase in the Vista goodwill impairment, (ii) $3,813 impairment of long-lived assets, (iii) $790 reduction in thefair value of a contingent obligation, (iv) $2,489 reduction in the provision for income taxes to tax effect the misstatements and to correct for other tax accounting errors and (v) certainother immaterial errors. For further information regarding the restatement of the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2016 see Note 2 “Restatement of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K/A.(c) The three-month period ended January 31, 2016 includes restatement adjustments increasing Gross Profit, Operating Income, Pre-tax Income, and Net Income Attributable to Raven of$388, $395, $395 and $894, respectively. The restatement adjustments resulted in a (i) $470 reversal of depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the restatement in the three-month period ended October 31, 2015 to correct for the impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets as noted in (b) above, (ii) $499 reduction in the provision for income taxes tocorrect for tax accounting errors and (iii) certain other immaterial errors. For further information regarding the restatement of the financial statements for the year ended January 31,2016 see Note 2 “Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K/A.(d) The fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 includes restatement adjustments increasing Gross Profit by $1,189, and reducing Operating Income, Pre-tax Income, and Net Income Attributableto Raven by $6,701,$6,701, and $3,713, respectively. Such restatement adjustments, further described in Note 2 "Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II,Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Form 10-K/A, also reduced both Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share by $0.10.As of January 31, 2016 , the Company had approximately 12,800 beneficial holders, which includes a substantial amount of the Company's common stock held ofrecord by banks, brokers, and other financial institutions.On November 3, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (Board) had authorized a $40.0 million stock buyback program. During fiscal 2016, theCompany made purchases of 1,602,545 common shares under this plan for a total cost of $29.3 million or $18.31 per share. None of these common shares wererepurchased during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. There is approximately $10.7 million still available for share repurchases under this Board-authorizedprogram which remains in place until such time as the authorized spending limit is reached or is otherwise revoked by the Board.# 13 COMPARISON OF 5-YEAR CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN AMONG RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.,S&P 1500 INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY INDEX AND RUSSELL 2000 INDEXThe above graph compares the cumulative total shareholders return on the Company's stock with the cumulative return of the S&P 1500 Industrial MachineryIndex and the Russell 2000 index.

(the Company or Raven). This commentaryprovides management's analysis of the primary drivers of year-over-year changes in key financial statement elements, business segment results, and the impact ofaccounting principles on the Company's financial statements. The most significant risks and uncertainties impacting the operating performance and financialcondition of the Company are discussed in Item 1A., Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Form 10-K/A).This discussion should be read in conjunction with Raven's Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in Item 8 of this Form 10-K/A.The MD&A is organized as follows:•Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statement•Executive Summary•Results of Operations - Segment Analysis•Outlook•Liquidity and Capital Resources•Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations•Critical Accounting Estimates•Accounting PronouncementsRESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAs discussed in the Explanatory Note, this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this Amendment), amends and restates the Company’s consolidated financialstatements and related disclosures in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 to reflect thecorrection of certain errors discussed in Note 2 Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations set forth below reflects the effects of these restatements.EXECUTIVE SUMMARYRaven is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, energy, construction, defense/aerospace,and situational awareness markets. The Company is comprised of three unique operating units, classified into reportable segments: Applied Technology Division,Engineered Films Division, and Aerostar Division. As strategic actions, such as the wind-down of its contract manufacturing business, have changed theCompany’s business over the last several years, Raven has remained committed to providing high-quality, high-value products.Management uses a number of measures to assess the Company's performance:•Consolidated net sales, gross margin, operating income, operating margins, net income, and earnings per share•Cash flow from operations and shareholder returns•Return on sales, average assets, and average equity•Segment net sales, gross profit, gross margin, operating income, and operating marginsRaven's growth strategy focuses on its proprietary product lines and the Company made the decision in fiscal year 2015 to largely wind-down its non-strategiccontract manufacturing business. To assess the effectiveness of this strategy during the transition period, management has used two additional measures:•Consolidated net sales excluding contract manufacturing sales (adjusted sales)•Segment net sales excluding contract manufacturing sales (adjusted sales)Information reported as net sales excluding contract manufacturing sales on both a consolidated and segment basis exclude sales generated from contractmanufacturing activities and do not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As such, these are non-GAAP measures.As described in the Notes to the Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, three significant one-time charges were recorded in the AerostarDivision in the fiscal 2016 third quarter. To allow evaluation of operating income and net income for the Company’s core business, the Company used threeadditional measures. The additional measurements are:# 19 •Segment operating income excluding Vista charges (adjusted operating income)•Consolidated operating income excluding Vista charges (consolidated adjusted operating income)•Net income excluding Vista charges (adjusted net income)Information reported as adjusted operating income and adjusted net income excluding Vista charges, on both a consolidated and segment basis, do not conform toGAAP and are non-GAAP measures.Non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has included this non-GAAP information to assist in understanding the operating performance of the Company and its operating segments as well as the comparability of results. Thisnon-GAAP information provided may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies. All non-GAAP information is reconciled with reportedGAAP results in the tables that follow.Vision and StrategyAt Raven, our purpose is to solve great challenges. Great challenges require great solutions. Raven’s three unique divisions share resources, ideas, and a passion tocreate technology that helps the world grow more food, produce more energy, protect the environment, and live safely.The Raven business model is our platform for success. Our business model is defensible, sustainable, and gives us a consistent approach in the pursuit of qualityfinancial results. This overall approach to creating value, which is employed across the three business segments, is summarized as follows:•Intentionally serve a set of diversified market segments with attractive near- and long-term growth prospects;•Consistently manage a pipeline of growth initiatives within our market segments;•Aggressively compete on quality, service, innovation, and peak performance;•Hold ourselves accountable for continuous improvement;•Value our balance sheet as a source of strength and stability with which to pursue strategic acquisitions; and•Make corporate responsibility a top priority.# 20 For the years ended January 31,dollars in thousands, except per-share data 2016 (AsRestated) %change 2015 %change 2014Results of Operations Net sales $258,229 (31.7)% $378,153 (4.2)% $394,677Gross margin (a) 25.9% 27.3% 30.2%Operating income $4,391 (90.0)% $43,801 (31.6)% $63,994Operating margin (a) 1.7% 11.6% 16.2%Net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc. $4,776 (84.9)% $31,733 (26.0)% $42,903Diluted income per share $0.13 (84.9)% $0.86 (26.5)% $1.17 Consolidated net sales, excluding contract manufacturing sales (b) $252,982 (28.0)% $351,205 1.8 % $344,919 Adjusted net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc.

Excluding salesfrom contract manufacturing, fiscal year 2016 net sales were $253.0 million, down 28.0 % from $351.2 million in fiscal year 2015. All divisions saw significantsales declines and continue to experience reduced end-market demand in their primary markets of focus. Adverse commodity market conditions are drivingreduced demand for both Applied Technology and Engineered Films, while reductions and delays in governmental defense spending are reducing demand forAerostar, and Vista in particular.Operating income for fiscal year 2016 was $4.4 million compared to $43.8 million in fiscal year 2015. Operating income for fiscal year 2016, adjusted for the thirdquarter Vista goodwill and long-lived asset impairments and associated financial impacts, was $20.4 million compared to $43.8 million in fiscal year 2015, down53.5% year-over-year. The adjusted operating income decline year-over-year was primarily due to the overall sales decline and lower operating margins in AppliedTechnology and lower Aerostar profitability driven by Vista. The Company initiated cost reduction measures in fiscal 2016 to reduce overall spending. These costcontrol measures contributed to decreases of $2.8 million in research and development (R&D) spending and $9.4 million in selling, general and administrativeexpenses in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal 2015. The cost controls and restructuring savings were not enough to offset lower sales volumes in AppliedTechnology and Aerostar.Net income for fiscal year 2016 was $4.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $31.7 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in fiscal year2015. Net income for fiscal year 2016, adjusted for the Vista goodwill and long-lived asset impairments and associated financial impacts, was $15.1 million, down52.6% compared to fiscal year 2015.Engineered Films DivisionEngineered Films’ fiscal 2016 net sales were $129.5 million, a decrease of $37.2 million, or 22.3%, compared to fiscal 2015. The decline in sales was primarilydriven by the continuation of the substantial decline in energy market demand as a result of lower oil prices year-over-year, and lower sales into the geomembranemarket, partially offset by the benefit to sales due to the acquisition of Integra Plastics, Inc. (Integra) in November 2015. The Company does not specifically modelcomparative market share position for any of its operating divisions, but based on customer feedback and evaluation of publicly-available financial information oncompetitors, we do not believe that revenue trends have been the result of a material loss of market share.The acquisition of Integra improved the Company’s ability to meet customer’s complex conversion needs and leverage a more direct sales channel into the energymarket. However, significant and sustained declines in energy market demand have instead resulted in declining sales to this market. With oil prices at multi-decade lows, sales into the energy market are down approximately# 23 80% year-over-year. Rig counts and well-completion rates continue to fall, driving down demand for Engineered Films’ energy market products. Data availablefrom Baker Hughes, a worldwide oil field service company, shows that land-based rig counts for the Permian Basin, the division’s primary market for its energyproducts are down approximately 60% year-over-year as of January 31, 2016 and well-completion rates are also down. The operations of Integra were fullyintegrated into Engineered Films’ operations in early fiscal 2016 and, as a result, separate quantification of its impact to net sales is not determinable.Applied Technology DivisionFiscal 2016 net sales decreased $49.6 million, or 34.9%, to $92.6 million from $142.2 million in fiscal 2015. This decline in sales was driven by a significantcontraction in end-market demand. The Company believes that its market share in the United States has been largely sustained, but that international market sharehas declined, particularly in Latin America. Year-over-year sales to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket customers declined by 42.1% and23.8%, respectively.Applied Technology's operating income decreased by 47.0% due primarily to lower sales volumes. End-market demand conditions seemed to stabilize beginningin the fiscal 2016 third quarter, and the velocity of sequential sales declines have eased from the levels earlier in the year. The price of corn has declined to 8-yearlows which has led to significant declines in farmer incomes. Such macro-level market conditions impact both grower sentiment and the manufacturing decisionsof our strategic OEM partners. Although OEMs initiated longer than usual planned plant shutdowns during the year due to these economic conditions, theCompany’s persistent stream of new agricultural technology continue to make Raven an attractive technology partner for OEMs serving agriculture. TheCompany’s new product introductions, if successful, can help to partially offset some of the end-market demand weakness.Aerostar DivisionFiscal 2016 net sales were $36.4 million compared to $80.8 million in fiscal 2015, down $44.4 million. Excluding contract manufacturing sales, Aerostar's netsales decreased 35.5%, or $17.4 million, to $31.7 million for fiscal 2016. The decline in sales for the division was principally driven by Vista, but lower sales ofstratospheric balloons also contributed to the decline.Aerostar reported an operating loss of $14.8 million in fiscal 2016 compared to operating income of $9.0 million in fiscal 2015. The operating loss included agoodwill impairment charge of $11.5 million, a long-lived asset impairment charge of $3.8 million, pre-contract cost write-off of $2.9 million, and a $2.3 millionacquisition-related contingent consideration benefit reported in the Company's fiscal 2016 third quarter. Excluding these items, adjusted Aerostar operating incomewas $1.2 million, or 87.0% below fiscal 2015 operating income of $9.0 million. This was primarily due to the lower sales volume of proprietary products,particularly within the Vista business. Aerostar’s adjusted operating income of $1.2 million excludes the effect of the goodwill impairment charge, long-lived assetimpairment charge, pre-contract cost write-off, and the acquisition-related contingent consideration benefit recorded in the fiscal 2016 third quarter.From time to time, the Company incurs costs before a contract is finalized and such pre-contract costs are deferred to the balance sheet to the extent they relate to aspecific project and the Company has concluded that is probable that the contract will be awarded for more than the amount deferred. Pre-contract cost deferralsare common with Vista's business pursuits. As described in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated FinancialStatements of this Form 10-K/A, pre-contract costs are evaluated for recoverability periodically. The Company was in negotiations throughout most of fiscal 2016on a large international contract and also had a preauthorization letter from the prime contractor, but the contract did not materialize in the fiscal 2016 third quarteras expected. As a result, expectations were lowered as the timing and likelihood of completing certain international pursuits became less certain. Corresponding tothese lower expectations, the pre-contract costs associated with these pursuits were written off and Vista recorded a charge of $2.9 million reported in “Cost ofsales” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. These charges were partially offset by a benefit of $2.3 million as the result of areduction of an acquisition-related contingent liability (earn-out liability) due to the lowered forecast for the Aerostar Division.Results of Operations - Fiscal 2015 compared to Fiscal 2014The Company's net sales in fiscal 2015 were $378.2 million, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 4.2%, from fiscal year 2014 net sales of $394.7 million. EngineeredFilms' fiscal 2015 net sales were up 12.9% over fiscal 2014, primarily driven by the agricultural and construction markets and the acquisition of Integra. AppliedTechnology's net sales declined reflecting persistent weakness in the precision agriculture markets, both domestic and international, and the planned decline ofcontract manufacturing sales to non-strategic legacy customers. Aerostar's net sales decrease was due primarily to a shift away from Aerostar's contractmanufacturing business. Increased sales of proprietary products, such as lighter-than-air products, aerostat products, and Vista radar system sales partially offsetthese expected decreases. Excluding contract manufacturing sales, Aerostar's net sales were up 25.0% year-over-year.Fiscal 2015 operating income decreased 31.6% from fiscal 2014 due primarily to the overall sales decline, lower gross profit margin in Applied Technology, andhigher corporate general and administrative expense. Applied Technology's operating income# 24 decreased by 39.4% due to lower sales volumes as well as strategic investment in pursuing international market growth, new product development, and broadeningOEM relationships. Engineered Films' operating income increased 20.0% as a result of overall selling price increases, higher sales of more profitable value-addedfilms, continued operating improvements, and leveraging the Company's reclaim production line. Aerostar posted an increase of 14.9% from the prior yearoperating income due to a lower level of contract manufacturing revenue relative to net sales and less operating expenses.Cash Flow and Payments to ShareholdersThe Company continues to generate stable operating cash flows and maintains strong liquidity as reflected in the $33.8 million cash and short-term investmentsbalance as of January 31, 2016.Capital expenditures totaled $13.0 million in fiscal 2016 compared to $17.0 million in fiscal 2015 . Capital spending consisted primarily of expenditures to expandEngineered Films' manufacturing capacity.During fiscal 2016 , $19.4 million was returned to shareholders though quarterly dividends. Fiscal 2016 quarterly dividends were 13 cents per share each quarter.Dividends paid to shareholders in fiscal 2015 totaled $18.5 million .In fiscal 2016 the Company paid $29.3 million for share repurchases made pursuant to the $40.0 million share repurchase plan authorized by the Company’s Boardof Directors in fiscal 2015. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2015.Performance MeasuresReturns on net sales, average assets and average equity are important gauges of Raven's success in efficiently producing profits. The Company’s fiscal 2016 returnswere not at the level of the prior two years’ results due to the declining sales levels and the three significant one-time charges recorded in the Aerostar Division inthe fiscal 2016 third quarter reported in the tables above. The Company continues to make strategic investments in research and development for productdevelopment to retain a competitive advantage in niche markets.RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SEGMENT ANALYSISApplied TechnologyApplied Technology designs, manufactures, sells, and services innovative precision agriculture products and information management tools that help growersreduce costs, precisely control inputs, and improve yields for the global agriculture market.Financial highlights for the fiscal years ended January 31,dollars in thousands 2016 % change 2015 % change 2014Net sales $92,599 (34.9)% $142,154 (16.6)% $170,461Gross profit 33,969 (41.8)% 58,325 (26.6)% 79,499Gross margin 36.7% 41.0% 46.6%Operating expense $15,650(34.2)% $23,768 5.6 % $22,499Operating expense as % of sales 16.9% 16.7% 13.2%Operating income $18,319 (47.0)% $34,557 (39.4)% $57,000Operating margin 19.8% 24.3% 33.4%Applied Technology net sales, excluding contract manufacturing sales $92,053 (32.5)% $136,322 (14.3)% $159,137For fiscal 2016, net sales decreased $49.6 million , or 34.9% , to $92.6 million as compared to $142.2 million in fiscal 2015. Operating income decreased $16.2million , or 47.0% , to $18.3 million as compared to fiscal 2015 .Fiscal 2016 fourth quarter net sales declined $8.0 million , or 30.3% , to $18.4 million and operating income decreased $1.2 million , or 34.7% , to $2.2 millioncompared to fourth quarter fiscal 2015 .A number of factors contributed to the full-year and fourth-quarter comparative results:•Market conditions. Deteriorating conditions in the agriculture market put pressure on Applied Technology during fiscal 2016. End-market demand hasdeteriorated from the beginning of the year and the Company believes these conditions will continue into next fiscal year. Corn prices have stabilizedsince the beginning of the year but are still at multi-year# 25 lows. Farm incomes and farmer sentiment are weak, resulting in productivity investments in precision agriculture equipment being delayed.•Sales volume. Fiscal 2016 sales declined 34.9% to $92.6 million as compared to $142.2 million in the prior fiscal year. These sales declines were drivenby continued lower demand, OEM shutdowns, and customers managing down inventory levels. Sales in the OEM and aftermarket channels were down42.1% and 23.8%, respectively, for fiscal 2016. Fiscal 2016 domestic sales were down 37.6% while international sales were down 25.2%.•Strategic Sales . Applied Technology’s net sales, excluding contract manufacturing sales, for fiscal 2016 were $92.1 million, a decrease of 32.5%,compared to $136.3 million in fiscal 2015.•International sales. Net sales outside the U.S. accounted for 25.1% of segment sales in fiscal 2016 compared to 21.9% in fiscal 2015. International salesdecreased $7.9 million, or 25.2%, to $23.3 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015. Lower sales in Latin America, Canada, and South Africa werethe primary drivers of the decline. These declines were partially offset by higher European revenues. European revenues were favorably impacted by theacquisition of SBG Innovatie BV and its affiliate, Navtronics BVBA (collectively, SBG) in fiscal 2015 second quarter. For the fourth quarter,international sales totaled $4.6 million, an increase of 45.6% from the prior year comparative quarter. The fiscal fourth quarter 2015 sales were reducedby credits issued related to quality issues on products sold in Latin America and without these credits, the year-over-year fourth quarter increase wouldhave been approximately 19%.•Gross margin. Gross margin declined from 41.0% in fiscal 2015 to 36.7% in fiscal 2016. Lower sales volumes and a reduced leverage of fixedmanufacturing costs contributed to the lower margin.•Restructuring expenses. Fiscal 2016 results included severance and other related exit activity totaling $0.6 million. These costs were offset by completionof the St. Louis contract manufacturing exit activities which resulted in gains of $0.6 million recorded in the fiscal 2016 results. There were noimpairments recorded as a result of the exit of this business. No restructuring or exit costs were incurred in the three-month period ended January 31,2016. Restructuring costs of $0.3 million were incurred for the three-month period ended January 31, 2015.•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2016 operating expenses were 16.9% of net sales compared to 16.7% for the prior year. Restructuring efforts and costcontainment actions reduced both selling expense and research and development (R&D) expense as planned, but were not enough to offset the lowersales volumes.For fiscal 2015 , net sales decreased $28.3 million, or 16.6%, to $142.2 million as compared to $170.5 million in fiscal 2014. Operating income decreased $22.4million, or 39.4%, to $34.6 million as compared to $57.0 million in fiscal 2014 .Fiscal 2015 results were primarily driven by the following factors:•Market conditions. Softness in the agriculture market put pressure on Applied Technology throughout fiscal 2015. Falling corn prices, historically highcorn inventories, cyclically high input costs, and waning grower sentiment subdued demand. Contraction of end-market demand was even morepronounced than expected as several OEMs reduced production levels.•Sales volume and new products. Persistent demand headwinds in the agriculture equipment markets continued in the second half of the year. Lower end-market demand drove sales lower in most of Applied Technology's product lines. Fiscal 2015 sales declined 16.6% to $142.2 million as compared to$170.5 million in the prior year. The sales decline reflected both lower international sales and weakness in the North American precision agricultureequipment market, in particular with OEM sales. Aftermarket conditions were slightly better throughout the year.•International sales. Net sales outside the U.S. accounted for 21.9% of segment sales in fiscal 2015 compared to 24.5% in fiscal 2014. International salesdecreased $10.5 million, or 25.3%, to $31.1 million in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. Lower sales in Brazil and Canada were the main drivers of thedecline, partially offset by increased sales in South Africa and $3.2 million of European revenues from the acquisition of SBG in May 2014.•Gross margin. Gross margin declined from 46.6% in fiscal 2014 to 41.0% in fiscal 2015. Lower net sales, lower production levels, and higher warrantyexpense contributed to the lower gross margin.•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2015 operating expenses were 16.7% of net sales compared to 13.2% for the prior year. This increase is attributable to higherspending in R&D, to preserve future growth opportunities, on lower sales volumes. Engineered FilmsEngineered Films manufactures high performance plastic films and sheeting for energy, agricultural, construction, geomembrane, and industrial applications.The Company acquired Integra in November 2014. This acquisition expanded Engineered Films’ production capacity, broadened its product offerings, andenhanced converting capabilities. Adding Integra's fabrication and conversion skill sets with Raven's ability to develop value-added innovative products resulted inenhanced customer service and expanded the converting capabilities of the division.# 26 Financial highlights for the fiscal years ended January 31, dollars in thousands 2016 % change 2015 % change 2014 Net sales $129,465 (22.3)% $166,634 12.9% $147,620 Gross profit 25,076 (10.8)% 28,104 19.1% 23,592 Gross margin 19.4% 16.9% 16.0% Operating expenses $7,184 14.0 % $6,302 15.9% $5,438 Operating expenses as % of sales 5.5% 3.8% 3.7% Operating income $17,892 (17.9)% $21,802 20.1% $18,154 Operating margin 13.8% 13.1% 12.3% For fiscal 2016, net sales decreased $37.2 million , or 22.3% , to $129.5 million as compared to fiscal 2015. Operating income was down to $17.9 million , or17.9% , for fiscal 2016 as compared to $21.8 million for fiscal 2015 .For fiscal 2016 fourth quarter net sales decreased $15.4 million , or 37.8% , to $25.5 million as compared to $40.9 million in the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter.Operating income was down $2.7 million , or 58.8% , to $1.9 million as compared to $4.6 million in the prior year fourth quarter.A number of factors contributed to the full-year and fourth-quarter comparative results:•Market conditions. Challenging end-market conditions have persisted in the energy market for Engineered Films. The decline in oil prices resulted inland-based rig counts decreasing more than 60% year-over-year and declining well-completion rates. While the decline in oil prices has reduced demandfor sales of film into the energy market, it has also led to favorable raw material cost comparisons versus the prior year. While the energy market hasexperienced challenging end-market conditions, demand has continued to strengthen for both Engineered Films' agricultural barrier films used in high-value crop production and grain and silage covers used to protect grain and feed.•Sales volume and selling prices . Fiscal 2016 net sales were down 22.3% to $129.5 million compared to fiscal 2015 net sales of $166.6 million. Thedecline in sales was driven primarily by an 80% decline in energy market sales. These declines were partially offset by the acquisition of Integra. Salesvolume for fiscal 2016 was down 27.5%. Average selling prices for the same period were up approximately 7% compared to the prior fiscal yearprimarily due to product mix. Fourth quarter fiscal 2016 sales volumes were down approximately 38% compared to fourth quarter fiscal 2015. Fourthquarter average selling prices remained flat year-over-year.•Gross margin. Fiscal 2016 gross margin was 19.4%, 2.5 percentage points higher than the prior fiscal year. This increase was the result of gross marginexpansion from value engineering, reformulation efforts, pricing discipline, and favorable raw material cost comparisons. During fiscal 2016 fourthquarter, the gross margin was 15.0% compared to 16.2% in the prior year fourth quarter. The decline was due to significantly lower volumes and theresulting decline in fixed cost absorption.•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2016 operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 5.5%, from 3.8% in the prior year. Higher selling expensesresulting from the Integra acquisition, additional R&D costs for new product development activities and higher bad debt expense over lower salesvolumes increased operating expense as a percentage of sales. For fiscal 2015 , net sales increased $19.0 million, or 12.9%, to $166.6 million while operating income was up $3.6 million, or 20.1%, to $21.8 million comparedto fiscal 2014 .Fiscal 2015 results were primarily driven by the following factors:•Market conditions. Declines in oil prices tempered demand for films in the energy market but favorably impacted raw material costs for the division.Strength in the construction market and efforts to increase market share created opportunities to meet shifting market conditions and offset competitivepressures in the energy market.•Sales volume and selling prices . Fiscal 2015 net sales were up 12.9% to $166.6 million compared to fiscal 2014 net sales of $147.6 million. Net sales ofconstruction film and barrier films for specific high-value agriculture applications were the primary drivers of these increases in fiscal 2015. Sales volumeand selling prices for fiscal 2015 were up approximately 5% and 7%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.•Gross margin. Fiscal 2015 gross margins were 16.9%, continuing the trend of higher gross margins than fiscal 2014. These margins reflected the impactof higher average selling prices, higher sales of more profitable value-added films, and continued operating improvements and leveraging the Company'sreclaim production line.# 27 •Operating expenses. Fiscal 2015 operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 3.8%, compared to 3.7% in the prior year. Higher sellingexpenses drove the year-over-year increase.AerostarAerostar serves the defense/aerospace and situational awareness markets. The Division also provided contract manufacturing services in the past, but largely exitedthis business in fiscal 2016. Aerostar designs and manufactures proprietary products including stratospheric balloons, tethered aerostats, and radar processingsystems for aerospace and situational awareness markets. These products can be integrated with additional third-party sensors to provide research,communications, and situational awareness capabilities to governmental and commercial customers.Through Vista and a separate business venture that is majority-owned by the Company, Aerostar pursues potential product and support services contracts foragencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. and foreign governments. Vista positions the Company to meet global demand for lower-cost target detection andtracking systems used by government agencies.Financial highlights for the fiscal years ended January 31,dollars in thousands 2016 (As Restated) % change 2015 % change 2014Net sales $36,368 (55.0)% $80,772 (10.9)% $90,605Gross profit 7,838 (52.9)% 16,654 1.7 % 16,374Gross margin 21.6 % 20.6% 18.1%Operating expenses $7,316 (4.6%) $7,671 (10.4)% $8,558Operating expenses as % of sales 20.1 % 9.5% 9.4%Goodwill and long-lived asset impairment loss $15,323 — —Operating (loss) income $(14,801) (264.8)% 8,983 14.9 % 7,816Operating margin (40.7)% 11.1% 8.6%Aerostar net sales, excluding contract manufacturing sales $31,667 (35.5)% $49,103 25.0 % $39,294Net sales declined 55.0% to $36.4 million from last year’s net sales of $80.8 million. Operating loss was $14.8 million , down $23.8 million , compared to fiscal2015 operating income of $9.0 million. Fiscal 2016 operating loss includes a goodwill impairment loss of $11.5 million, a long-lived asset impairment loss of $3.8million and associated financial impacts ($2.9 million pre-contract cost write-off and a $2.3 million acquisition-related contingent consideration benefit) all ofwhich relate to Vista.Fiscal 2016 fourth quarter net sales declined $15.6 million, or 63.3%, to $9.0 million compared to fiscal 2015 fourth quarter results. Aerostar reported a fiscal 2016fourth quarter operating income of $0.2 million compared to an operating income of $4.3 million in the prior year fourth quarter.Fiscal 2016 comparative results were primarily driven by the following factors:•Market conditions . Aerostar’s growth strategy emphasizes proprietary products and its focus is on proprietary technology including stratosphericballoons, advanced radar systems, and sales of aerostats in international markets. Certain of Aerostar's markets are subject to significant variability due togovernment spending. Uncertain demand in these markets continues in fiscal 2016 as defense spending is down. Aerostar continues to pursue substantialtargeted international opportunities but the conflicts plaguing the Middle East North Africa region make these opportunities and their timing less certain.Aerostar is pioneering new markets with leading-edge applications of its high-altitude balloons in collaboration with Google on Project Loon. ProjectLoon is a program to provide high-speed wireless Internet accessibility and telecommunications to rural, remote, and under-served areas of the world.•Sales volumes. Fiscal 2016 net sales decreased $44.4 million from the prior year, a year-over-year decrease of 55.0%. The decline was the result of bothlower sales of proprietary products, particularly Vista radar sales, and the planned reduction in contract manufacturing sales.•Proprietary net sales. For fiscal 2016, net sales for proprietary products were $31.7 million, down $17.4 million, or 35.5%, from the prior fiscal year.Sales of proprietary products were down primarily due to Vista’s lack of success in winning certain international contracts and declines in domesticgovernment defense spending that reduced revenues for Vista.•Gross margin. For fiscal 2016, gross margin increased 1.0 percentage points compared to the prior fiscal year. Fiscal 2016 gross margin reflects netcharges of $0.6 million which are discussed further below. Vista has been pursuing# 28 international opportunities and throughout the first half of fiscal 2016 was in the process of negotiating a large international contract for which it also hada pre-authorization letter from the prime contractor. When the contract did not materialize in the fiscal 2016 third quarter as expected, expectations werelowered as the timing and likelihood of completing certain international pursuits became less certain. Corresponding to these lower expectations, the pre-contract costs associated with these pursuits were written off during the fiscal 2016 third quarter. Vista recorded a charge of $2.9 million for the write-offof these pre-contract costs. Partially offsetting this impairment charge, Vista recorded a benefit of $2.3 million to reflect a reduction in acquisition-relatedcontingent liabilities due to lower expected payouts.•Goodwill and long-lived asset impairment loss. Aerostar recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $11.5 million and a long-lived asset impairment loss of$3.8 million for fiscal 2016. The goodwill and long-lived impairment charges were recorded on the Vista reporting unit. This impairment loss is describedmore fully in Note 7 Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7of this amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. No impairment losses were recorded in fiscal 2015.•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2016 operating expenses of $7.3 million were 20.1% of net sales compared to $7.7 million, or 9.5% of net sales in fiscal 2015.The increase is due to continued strategic R&D spending on radar and stratospheric technologies over lower sales.•Aerostar adjusted operating income. Excluding the unusual items discussed above, the fiscal 2016 operating income was $1.2 million, down from $9.0million in the prior year. These operating income declines were driven primarily by the significant declines in sales volumes for the year for both contractmanufacturing and proprietary products, in particular Vista.For fiscal 2015 , net sales decreased $9.8 million, or 10.9% , to $80.8 million compared to fiscal 2014. Operating income increased $1.2 million, or 14.9%, to $9.0million as compared to fiscal 2014. Fiscal 2015 results were driven by the following:•Market conditions . Certain of Aerostar’s markets are subject to variability due to government spending. Aerostar’s growth strategy emphasizesproprietary products over contract manufacturing. Focus is on proprietary technology opportunities, including advanced radar systems, high-altitudeballoons, and sales of aerostats to international markets. Aerostar is pioneering new markets with leading-edge applications of its high-altitude balloons incollaboration with Google on Project Loon, a program to provide high-speed wireless Internet accessibility and telecommunications to rural, remote andunder-served areas of the world.•Sales volumes. Fiscal 2015 net sales decreased $9.8 million from the prior year, a year-over-year decrease of 10.9%. The drivers of this decline werelower sales of parachutes and planned declines in avionics sales and other contract manufacturing sales. These decreases were partially offset by higherVista revenues for support activities under existing contracts and increased aerostat product and service revenues associated with a government contract.•Gross margin. Gross margin increased from 18.1% in fiscal 2014 to 20.6% for fiscal 2015. Despite the lower sales levels, gross profit margins continuedto increase in fiscal 2015. This improvement in gross margin was favorably impacted by additional proprietary product revenues, including Vista radarsales that normally carry higher margins than other products, as well as efficiencies achieved on last-run contract manufacturing business.•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2015 operating expenses of $7.7 million were 9.5% of net sales compared to $8.6 million, or 9.4% of net sales in fiscal 2014.Operating spending was constrained beginning in the second quarter, driving lower spending levels in fiscal 2015.Corporate Expenses (administrative expenses; other income (expense), net; and income taxes) For the years ended January 31,dollars in thousands 2016 (As Restated) 2015 2014Administrative expenses $17,110 $21,704 $18,865Administrative expenses as a % of sales 6.6 % 5.7% 4.8%Other (expense) income, net $(310) $(300) $(371)Effective tax rate (18.8)% 26.9% 32.6%Administrative expenses decreased $4.6 million in fiscal 2016 compared with fiscal 2015 .

These incentive compensation plans are based on certain financial results andreflect the decline in fiscal# 29 2016 financial performance as compared to fiscal 2015. Fiscal 2015 expenses include acquisition and integration costs associated with the SBG and Integraacquisitions. Other income (expense), net consists primarily of activity related to the Company's equity investment, interest income, and foreign currency transaction gains orlosses.The Company's fiscal 2016 effective tax rate decreased to (18.8)% compared to 26.9% in the prior year. The decrease in the fiscal 2016 effective rate is primarilydue to the combination of a significantly lower book income year-over-year, a $0.6 million tax benefit for an increase in qualified production activities, and a $1.0million tax benefit from the R&D tax credit passed by Congress in fiscal 2016. The qualified production credit is based on estimated taxable income which ishigher than book income in fiscal 2016 largely due to the $14.8 million of tax deductible goodwill and long-lived asset impairments which resulted in a fiscal 2016deferred tax benefit for financial reporting purposes and a higher taxable income resulting from the longer period of tax amortization.OUTLOOKAt Raven our enduring success is built on our ability to balance the Company’s purpose and core values with necessary shifts in business strategy demanded by anever-changing world. As the Company begins fiscal year 2017, the markets served by our core businesses remain very challenging.For Applied Technology, the precision agriculture market is expected to decline for the third straight year. Momentum is building within the division but theCompany believes conditions are not likely to improve significantly for the foreseeable future. OEM interest in our new product portfolio is strong and we areseeing promising developments in the international markets we serve, particularly in Europe and Latin America. While the division will continue its focus onreducing expenses, management has proactively made the decision not to execute additional restructuring measures. The Company is preserving its technicalcapabilities to capitalize on opportunities in anticipation of expected market share gains and growth from new products in fiscal 2017.For Engineered Films, the prolonged, dramatic decline in oil prices continues to negatively impact rig counts and oil well completion rates. Although the energymarket will be even more challenging this next fiscal year, we are intently focused on driving growth in our other markets by capitalizing on our new productioncapabilities. Sales to these other markets, in aggregate, are growing, but the division continues to face sales development challenges due to the depressed energymarket. Cost reduction efforts are ongoing to partially offset the impact of declines in volume. A recently completed new production line providing new productcapabilities is expected to contribute to sales in fiscal 2017.For Aerostar, lower expectations continue with the timing and likelihood of completing certain international pursuits uncertain and the curtailment of governmentdefense spending likely to continue. Aerostar continues to develop new opportunities and make progress on key strategic programs relating to both stratosphericballoon and radar opportunities. Management continues to see growth opportunity for the Vista business and will continue pursuit of international opportunities ona more measured basis. This approach will likely push-out the development of sizable Vista business pursuits over a period of time. Management is focused onmanaging expenses as the year’s challenges persist.The Company believes a number of strong opportunities are in front of us to drive market share gains in fiscal year 2017. The Company is cautiously optimisticthat the sequential year-over-year sales comparisons will continue to improve and expects to maintain flat sales and adjusted operating income in fiscal 2017, withpotential to achieve very modest growth in each.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESThe Company's balance sheet continues to reflect significant liquidity. Management focuses on the current cash balance and operating cash flows in consideringliquidity, as operating cash flows have historically been the Company's primary source of liquidity. Management expects that current cash, combined with thegeneration of positive operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund the Company's normal operating, investing and financing activities.The Company's cash needs are seasonal, with working capital demands strongest in the first quarter. As a result, the discussion of trends in operating cash flowsfocuses on the primary drivers of year-over-year variability in working capital.Cash and cash equivalents totaled $33.8 million at January 31, 2016 compared to $51.9 million on the same date in 2015 , a decrease of $18.1 million. Thedecrease was primarily driven by increased cash outflow for shares repurchased under the authorized $40.0 million share buyback plan. The Company hasrepurchased 1.6 million shares at an average price of $18.31 for a total of $29.3 million during fiscal 2016. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2015. Thesecash outflows were partially offset by positive# 30 cash flows from operating activities. The Company had no short-term investments at January 31, 2016. Short-term investments were $0.3 million as of January 31,2015 and 2014.At January 31, 2016 the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million in accounts outside the United States. These balances included undistributedearnings of foreign subsidiaries we consider to be indefinitely reinvested. If repatriated, undistributed earnings of $2.0 million would be subject to United Statesfederal taxation. This estimated tax liability is approximately $0.3 million net of foreign tax credits. Our liquidity is not materially impacted by the amount held inaccounts outside of the United States.The Company entered into a new credit agreement dated April 15, 2015. This agreement (Credit Agreement), more fully described in Note 11 FinancingArrangements of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, provides for a syndicated senior revolving creditfacility up to $125 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2020. There were no borrowings against the Credit Agreement during the year or outstanding under theCredit Agreement at January 31, 2016.Letters of credit totaling $0.7 million , issued under the previous line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo) primarily to support self-insuredworkers' compensation bonding requirements, remain in place. The Company expects to have these outstanding letters of credit issued under the new credit facility.Until such time as that is complete, any draws required under these letters of credit would be settled with available cash or borrowings under the new CreditAgreement.Operating ActivitiesOperating cash flows result primarily from cash received from customers, which is offset by cash payments for inventories, services, employee compensation, andincome taxes. Management evaluates working capital levels through the computation of average days sales outstanding and inventory turnover. Average days salesoutstanding is a measure of the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with its customers and its efficiency in enforcing its credit policy. The inventoryturnover ratio is a metric used to evaluate the effectiveness of inventory management, with further consideration given to balancing the disadvantages of excessinventory with the risk of delayed customer deliveries.Cash provided by operating activities was $44.0 million in fiscal 2016 compared with $60.1 million in fiscal 2015 . The $16.1 million decrease in operating cashflows is primarily the result of lower earnings. While the Company's earnings were $27.0 million lower, these earnings reflected the impact of a $15.3 million non-cash goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charge.Year-over-year changes in inventory and accounts receivable are primary sources of changes in operating cash flows. In fiscal 2016, changes in inventory andaccounts receivable generated $24.4 million of cash compared to generating $11.5 million one year ago.Cash provided by the change in inventory was $7.6 million in fiscal 2016 compared to $6.8 million in fiscal 2015. Inventory levels have decreased from $55.2million at January 31, 2015 to $45.8 million at January 31, 2016. The Company's inventory turnover rate decreased from the prior year (trailing 12-monthinventory turn of 3.6X at January 31, 2016 versus 4.9X at January 31, 2015) primarily due to higher average inventory levels at Aerostar and Engineered Films.For accounts receivable cash provided in fiscal 2016 was $16.8 million compared to $4.7 million in fiscal 2015. The trailing 12 months days sales outstanding was60 days at January 31, 2016 and 52 days at January 31, 2015. This increase reflects the impact of conditions within Engineered Films' energy market. This ratiostabilized during the fourth quarter at 58-60 days outstanding.Year-over-year changes in inventory and accounts receivable were the primary sources of changes in fiscal 2015 operating cash flows. Inventory generated $6.8million of cash versus consuming $9.2 million in fiscal 2014. The Company's inventory turnover rate decreased slightly from the prior year primarily due to thehigher average inventory levels at Engineered Films (trailing 12-month inventory turn of 4.9X in fiscal 2015 and 5.2X in fiscal 2014).Accounts receivable generated $4.7 million in cash in fiscal 2015 as compared to generating $1.3 million cash in fiscal 2014. Cash collections were efficientdespite the increase in trailing 12 months days sales outstanding from 51 days in fiscal 2014 to 52 days in fiscal 2015.In fiscal 2015, uncertain tax positions consumed $3.3 million of cash compared to generating cash of $0.7 million in fiscal 2014 due to a payment made to settle astate tax liability.# 31 Investing ActivitiesCash used in investing activities totaled $11.1 million in fiscal 2016 , $30.0 million in fiscal 2015 and $31.6 million in fiscal 2014 . Capital expenditures totaled$13.0 million in fiscal 2016 compared to $17.0 million in fiscal 2015 and $30.7 million in fiscal 2014. This fiscal 2016 spending primarily relates to EngineeredFilms capacity expansion.Fiscal 2016 benefited from $2.1 million in cash provided by the disposal of assets related to the exit of contract manufacturing in Applied Technology andAerostar. These cash inflows from the exit of contract manufacturing were due to selling the Company's St. Louis operations and related assets as well as our idlefacility in Huron, South Dakota. There were no material cash flows from the disposal of assets in fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014.Cash inflow related to business acquisitions in fiscal 2016 relate to the Company receiving a $0.4 million settlement of the working capital adjustment to theIntegra purchase price. Cash outflows totaling $12.5 million in fiscal 2015 related to the Integra and SBG business acquisitions. There were no businesses acquiredor sold in fiscal 2014.Management anticipates capital spending of approximately $9 million in fiscal 2017. Maintaining Engineered Films' capacity and Applied Technology's capitalspending to advance product development are expected to continue. In addition, management will evaluate strategic acquisitions that result in expanded capabilitiesand improved competitive advantages.Financing ActivitiesFinancing activities consumed cash of $50.7 million in fiscal 2016 compared with $30.7 million in fiscal 2015 and $17.4 million in fiscal 2014 .Quarterly dividends paid in fiscal 2016 were $19.4 million , or $0.52 per share ($0.13 per share per quarter), compared to $ 18.5 million in fiscal 2015 and $17.5million in fiscal 2014 .In fiscal 2016, the Company began to repurchase common shares as part of the $40.0 million share repurchase plan authorized by the Company’s Board ofDirectors. During fiscal 2016, the Company paid $29.3 million for share repurchases. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014.The Company made $0.8 million of acquisition-related contingent liability payments related to the Vista and SBG acquisitions. During fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014,the Company made payments of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of acquisition-related contingent liabilities. During fiscal 2016, the Company paid $0.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement previously discussed. No debt issuance costs werepaid during the fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014. No borrowings or repayment have occurred on the Credit Agreement during fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2015, the Companymade net debt repayments totaling $12.0 million for debt assumed as part of the Integra and SBG acquisitions. No borrowings or debt repayments occurred infiscal 2014.Financing cash outflows in fiscal 2016 included $0.5 million of employee taxes in relation to the net settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested duringthe year. No RSUs vested during fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014.OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONSAs of January 31, 2016 , the Company is obligated to make cash payments in connection with its non-cancelable operating leases for facilities and equipment andunconditional purchase obligations, primarily for raw materials, in the amounts listed below. The Company's known off-balance sheet debt and other unrecordedobligations are noted in the table below.# 32A summary of the obligations and commitments at January 31, 2016 is shown below.dollars in thousands Total Less than1 year 1-3years 3-5years More than5 yearsOperating leases $6,510 $1,661 $2,520 $2,329 $—Unconditional purchase obligations 24,265 24,265 — — —Postretirement benefits (a) 19,389 329 702 712 17,646Acquisition-related contingent payments (b) (as restated) 3,557 418 1,056 2,010 73Uncertain tax positions (c) — — — — —Line of credit (d) 897 213 425 259 — $54,618 $26,886 $4,703 $5,310 $17,719(a) Postretirement benefit amounts represent expected payments on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation before it is discounted.(b) Amounts reflect the future earn-out payments with respect to business acquisitions.

See below for further detail on the specific obligations.(c) See below for further details on specific obligations.(d) Amounts reflect administrative and unborrowed capacity fees under the line of credit described below.Acquisition-related obligationsThe Company has future obligations for earn-out payments associated with the acquisition of Vista completed in fiscal 2012 and of SBG completed in fiscal 2015.The total liability recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2016 related to these future obligations was $2.0 million, of which $0.3 millionwas classified as "Accrued liabilities" and $1.7 million as "Other liabilities". These liabilities represent the present value of earn-out payments classified asconsideration at the acquisition date. Specific to the SBG acquisition, the Company may pay up to $2.5 million in additional earn-out payments calculated and paidquarterly over the next 10 years contingent upon SBG achieving certain revenues. Specific to the Vista acquisition, the Company agreed to pay additionalcontingent consideration not to exceed $15.0 million, based upon earn-out percentages on specific revenue streams until January 31, 2019. In a transaction separatefrom the Vista acquisition but related to Vista, the Company agreed to fund a revenue-based bonus pool, also not to exceed $15.0 million, which will be accruedwhen the specific revenue stream is recorded using those same earn-out percentages over the same time period.Uncertain tax positionsRaven reported a total liability for uncertain tax positions of $3.0 million at January 31, 2016. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the timing of futurepayments relating to these non-current tax benefits. This obligation is retired when the uncertain tax position is settled or applicable tax year is no longer subject toexamination by the tax authorities.Line of creditOn April 15, 2015 the Company's uncollateralized credit agreement with Wells Fargo providing a line of credit of $10.5 million and maturing on November 30,2016 was terminated upon the Company's entering into a new credit facility.This new credit facility, the Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015 among Raven Industries, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch as CanadianAdministrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and each lender from time to time party thereto (the CreditAgreement), provides for a syndicated senior revolving credit facility up to $125 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2020 .Loans or borrowings defined under the Credit Agreement bear interest and fees at varying rates and terms defined in the Credit Agreement based on the type ofborrowing as defined. The Credit Agreement includes annual administrative and unborrowed capacity fees of $0.2 million . The Credit Agreement containscustomary affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, limits on levels of indebtedness and liens,investments, mergers and acquisitions, affiliate transactions, sales of assets, restrictive agreements, and change in control as defined in the Credit Agreement.Financial covenants include an interest coverage ratio and funded indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as defined in theCredit Agreement. $125 million was available under the Credit Agreement for borrowings as of January 31, 2016 . The loan proceeds may be utilized by Raven forstrategic business purposes, including acquisitions, and for working capital needs.Letters of credit totaling $0.7 million, issued under the previous line of credit with Wells Fargo primarily to support self-insured workers' compensation bondingrequirements, remain in place. The Company expects to have these outstanding letters of credit issued under the new credit facility. Until such time as that iscomplete, any draws required under these letters of credit would be settled with available cash or borrowings under the Credit Agreement. There have been noborrowings under either credit agreement in the last three fiscal years and there were no borrowings outstanding under either credit agreement for any of the fiscalperiods# 33covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The Company is in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company has requestedand received the necessary covenant waivers relating to its late filing of financial statement information during fiscal 2017.In the event the bank group chooses not to renew the Company's line of credit, the letters of credit would cease and alternative methods of support for the insuranceobligations would be necessary, these would be more expensive and would require additional cash outlays. Management believes the chances of this happening tobe remote.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATESCritical accounting policies are those that require the application of judgment when valuing assets and liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. These policiesare discussed below because a fluctuation in actual results versus expected results could materially affect operating results and because the policies requiresignificant judgments and estimates to be made. Accounting related to these policies is initially based on best estimates at the time of original entry in theaccounting records. Adjustments are periodically recorded when the Company's actual experience differs from the expected experience underlying the estimates.These adjustments could be material if experience were to change significantly in a short period of time. The Company does not enter into derivatives or otherfinancial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, Raven has used derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuationsin currency exchange rates on transactions that are denominated in currency other than its functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. The use of these financialinstruments had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in fiscal year 2016, 2015, or 2014.InventoriesThe Company estimates inventory valuation each quarter. Typically, when a product reaches the end of its lifecycle, inventory value declines slowly or the producthas alternative uses. Management uses its manufacturing resources planning data to help determine if inventory is slow-moving or has become obsolete due to anengineering change. The Company closely reviews items that have balances in excess of the forecasted requirements, or that have been dropped from productionrequirements. Despite these reviews, technological or strategic decisions made by management or the Company's customers may result in unexpected excessmaterial. Further, a decline in the market demand for the Company's products may also result in write-down of inventory balances. The Company assesses currentand expected selling prices in determining if inventory balances should be written down to net realizable value. In every Raven operating unit, management mustmanage obsolete inventory risk. The accounting judgment ultimately made is an evaluation of the success that management will have in controlling inventory riskand mitigating the impact of obsolescence when it does occur.Pre-Contract CostsFrom time to time, the Company incurs costs to begin fulfilling the statement of work under a specific anticipated contract still being negotiated with the customer.If the Company determines that it is probable it will be awarded the specific anticipated contract, the pre-contract costs incurred, excluding start-up costs which areexpensed as incurred, are deferred to the balance sheet and included in “Inventories.” Deferred pre-contract costs are periodically reviewed and assessed forrecoverability under the contract based on the Company’s assessment of the nature of the costs, the probability and timing of the award, and other relevant factsand circumstances. Write-offs of pre-contract costs are charged to cost of sales when it becomes probable such costs will not be recoverable.WarrantiesEstimated warranty liability costs are based on historical warranty costs and average time elapsed between purchases and returns for each business segment.Warranty issues that are unusual in nature are accrued for individually.Allowance for Doubtful AccountsDetermining the level of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses based on historical write-off experience by segment and an estimate of the ability to collect any known problem accounts. Factors that are considered beyond historical experience includethe length of time the receivables are outstanding, the current business climate, and the customer's current financial condition. Accounts receivable and any relatedallowance are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.Revenue RecognitionEstimated returns or sales allowances are recognized upon shipment of a product. The Company sells directly to customers or distributors that incur the expenseand commitment for any post-sale obligations beyond stated warranty terms.For certain service-related contracts, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby contract revenues arerecognized on a pro-rata basis based upon the ratio of costs incurred compared to total estimated# 34 contract costs. Contract costs include labor, material, subcontracting costs, as well as allocation of indirect costs. Revenues, including estimated profits, arerecorded as costs are incurred. Losses estimated to be incurred upon completion of contracts are charged to operations when they become known.Certain contracts contain provisions for incentive payments that the Company may receive based on performance criteria related to product design, developmentand production standards. Revenue related to the incentive payments is recognized when ultimate realization by the Company is assured, which generally occurswhen the provisions and performance criteria required by the contract are met.Long-lived and Intangible Assets and GoodwillFor long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, investments in affiliates and property plant and equipment, management tests for recoverabilitywhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management periodically assesses for triggeringevents and discusses any significant changes in the utilization of long-lived assets, which may result from, but are not limited to, an adverse change in the asset'sphysical condition or a significant adverse change in the business climate. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset isgrouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining its fair value. The cashflows used for this analysis are similar to those used in the goodwill impairment assessment discussed further below.Management assesses goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired, usingfair value measurement techniques. For goodwill, the Company performs impairment reviews by reporting units which are determined to be: Engineered FilmsDivision; Applied Technology Division (including SBG which was integrated into the existing operations of this division in fiscal year 2016); and two separatereporting units in the Aerostar Division, one of which is Vista and one of which is all other Aerostar operations (Aerostar excluding Vista).The Company has the option to perform a qualitative impairment assessment based on relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likelythan not that the fair value of a reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, the book value of net assets. Certain events and circumstances reviewed arefinancial outlooks, industry and economic conditions, cost inputs, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If events andcircumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit or asset group is more likely than not greater than the book value of its net assets, then no furtherimpairment testing is needed. If events and circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit or asset group is less than its corresponding book value, or theCompany does not elect to do the qualitative assessment, then the Company performs step one of the requisite impairment analysis.In fiscal 2016, as discussed below, the Company determined that there were triggering events with respect to the Engineered Films and Vista reporting units thatresulted in impairment tests during the fiscal year. The impairment test with respect to Vista resulted in an impairment charge, as discussed below.GoodwillIn step one of the goodwill impairment analysis (Step 1), the fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Projectingdiscounted future cash flows requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future revenues and expenses, projected capitalexpenditures, changes in working capital, and the appropriate discount rate.In developing the discounted cash flow analysis, assumptions about the revenue growth rate, operating profit margin percentage, capital expenditures, and changesin working capital are based on our annual operating plan and long-term business plan for each of the Company’s reporting units.Discount rate assumptions for each reporting unit are the value-weighted average of the reporting unit's cost of capital derived using both known and estimatedcustomary market metrics and take into consideration management’s assessment of risks inherent in the future cash flows of the respective reporting unit. One ofthe metrics considered by the Company in its selection of a discount rate is the relevant small company size premium appropriate to the reporting unit for which thevaluation is being assessed. Generally, the lower the revenues associated with a reporting unit, the higher the small company premium and the higher the discountrate for that reporting unit. With other factors such as the optimal capital structure assumed for the reporting unit, this may result in a different discount rateassumption for each reporting unit being evaluated.The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared with the book value of its net assets. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than thebook value of the net assets of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is possible and a more refined measurement of the impairment loss would take place. This isthe second step of the goodwill impairment testing (Step# 35 2), in which management may use market comparisons and recent transactions to assign the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of thatunit. The valuation methodologies in both steps of goodwill impairment testing use significant estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates the merits ofeach significant assumption and the overall basket of assumptions used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.During fiscal 2016, as discussed below, the Company determined that there were triggering events with respect to the Engineered Films reporting unit in thesecond quarter and the Vista reporting unit in the third quarter, each of which resulted in goodwill impairment tests. The goodwill impairment test with respect toVista resulted in an impairment of goodwill.Long-lived and Intangible AssetsIn step one of the long-lived and intangible asset impairment analysis (Step 1), the book value of the asset is compared to the undiscounted cash flows supportingthe value of the asset. Projecting undiscounted future cash flows requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future revenuesand expenses, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital and allocations of certain costs.In developing the undiscounted cash flow analysis, assumptions about the revenue growth rate, operating profit margin percentage, capital expenditures, andchanges in working capital are based on our annual operating plan, long-term strategic plan, and, as appropriate, reflect market participant assumptions if suchamounts might differ from the Company-specific assumptions for each of the Company’s reporting units. In addition, certain reporting unit costs which are notspecific to an asset group are allocated between asset groups to estimate undiscounted cash flows at the asset group level.If the estimated undiscounted cash flows for the asset group exceed the book value of the asset, there is no impairment. If the estimated undiscounted cash flowsfor the asset group are below the book value of the asset, an impairment loss is possible and a more refined measurement of the impairment loss would take place.This is the second step of the long-lived and intangible asset impairment testing (Step 2) in which management compares the discounted value of the cash flows ofthe asset group to the book value of the asset. The difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of the discounted cash flows supporting theasset group determines the amount of the asset impairment. The discount rate for the Step 2 analysis is derived in a similar manner as the discount rate used forgoodwill impairment testing. The valuation methodologies in both steps of long-lived and intangible asset impairment testing use significant estimates andassumptions. Management evaluates the merits of each significant assumption and the overall basket of assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset.Engineered Films Reporting UnitIn the fiscal 2016 second quarter the Company determined that a triggering event occurred for its Engineered Films reporting unit and asset group primarily drivenby the continuation of the substantial decline in energy market demand as a result of lower oil prices year-over-year. As a result of these changes in circumstancesindicating that these assets might be impaired, the Company concluded that interim Step 1 goodwill and long-lived asset impairment assessments were necessaryfor the Engineered Films reporting unit and asset group.The Company performed the Step 1 long-lived asset impairment test. The Company determined that the relevant cash flows for long-lived asset testing (the lowestlevel of cash flows that are largely independent of other assets) are at the Engineered Films reporting unit level. Using the sum of the undiscounted cash flowsassociated with the asset group, the Step 1 test was performed for the asset group. The undiscounted cash flows for the Engineered Films asset group exceeded thecarrying value of the long-lived assets by more than $100 million and no Step 2 was deemed to be necessary based on the recoverability of the long-lived assets.The most significant assumptions used to determine the undiscounted cash flows of the Engineered Films reporting unit include: revenue growth rate (includingassumptions regarding economic conditions, particularly those related to the energy markets served by the division), operating profit margin percentage, andcapital expenditures (particularly those impacting changes in capacity). These assumptions are consistent with the assumptions used in determining the fair valueof the Engineered Films reporting unit, which is described below.With respect to goodwill, the Company compared the carrying value of the Engineered Films reporting unit, including goodwill, to its estimated fair value. Incalculating the estimated fair value, the Company used the income approach.The Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis using fair value techniques on the Engineered Films reporting unit as a result of changes in marketconditions indicating that goodwill might be impaired. The reporting unit's fair value was estimated based on discounted cash flows and that fair value amount wascompared to the net book value of the assets of the reporting unit. This analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unitexceeded the net book value by approximately $50 million. Therefore, no Step 2 analysis was done.# 36 The most significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit include: revenue growth rate (including assumptionsregarding economic conditions, particularly those related to the energy markets served by the division), operating profit margin percentage, capital expenditures(particularly those impacting changes in capacity), and the discount rate.For the Step 1 goodwill analysis performed in the second quarter, ten-year revenue expectations were built using a bottom-up approach for each market servedfocusing primarily on current product pipelines and new product developments, customer changes, market conditions and drivers, and production capacity.Regarding the revenue growth assumptions, energy market revenues were of particular focus due to current weak end-market demand. The Company estimated theenergy market would achieve a modest rebound in demand relative to historical highs during the middle of the 10-year forecast. The resulting compound annualgrowth rate for net sales for the first 5 years (fiscal 2016-2020) of the forecast was approximately 6% while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for net salesfor years 6 through 10 (fiscal 2021-2025) of the forecast was approximately 5%. The 4-year historical CAGR was approximately 11% from fiscal 2011 throughfiscal 2015 on an organic basis (excluding the impact of the Integra acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015). The perpetual growth factor selected was 3.0%,in line with average long-term GDP growth. Using the revenue growth rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decreasein the average revenue growth rate over the 10-year forecast period (and the terminal growth rate in perpetuity) would have reduced the second quarter estimatedfair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit by approximately $7 million.The operating profit margin percentage assumption for the forecast period averaged approximately 13% of sales. This compares to an average operating profitmargin percentage of approximately 11% of sales during fiscal years 2011-2015. The expansion in operating profit margin during the forecast period is based onthe Company’s expectation of the product sales mix, including new products made possible by completion of a new extrusion line, and overall higher capacityutilization, among other factors. Higher-value products, higher margins on such products, and leverage of fixed costs at higher production levels are expected todrive increased operating margins. Using the operating profit margin percentage to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentagedecrease in average operating profit margin percentage over the forecast period would have reduced the second quarter estimated fair value of the EngineeredFilms reporting unit by approximately $7 million.Capital expenditures are a significant input to the valuation of the Engineered Films reporting unit because of a recurring pattern of maintenance spending andspending for capacity increases. Typically, new capacity expansion occurs every three to four years. As a result of the Integra acquisition and the completion of aproduction line in fiscal 2016 at a cost of approximately $12 million, Engineered Films currently has excess capacity and will continue to have excess capacity forsome time. Historical capital expenditures from fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2015 were approximately $46 million. The average annual capital expenditure amountused in the fair value model for the Engineered Films reporting unit was $7.0 million for the next ten years. Using capital expenditures to illustrate the sensitivityon this estimated fair value, each additional $1.0 million in average capital expenditures over the forecast period would have reduced the second quarter estimatedfair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit by approximately $2 million.The discount rate used in the determination of the fair value was 13.0%. Using the discount rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-halfpercentage point increase in the discount rate would have reduced the second quarter estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit by approximately$10 million.There were no significant changes in market conditions or expected operating income for the Engineered Films reporting unit and no triggering events weredeemed to have occurred in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. As such, the Company completed its regular annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourthquarter for the Engineered Films reporting unit based on November 30, 2015 information.For the annual testing, because of the triggering event in the second quarter and continued weak demand in the energy market, the Company performed anotherStep 1 analysis. This analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit exceeded the net book value by approximately $35million; therefore, no Step 2 analysis was performed. The prolonged energy market decline was the primary reason for this $15 million decline in the excess ofestimated fair value over the net book value determined in the Step 1 analysis completed at the end of the fiscal second quarter. In that Step 1 analysis, theCompany estimated the energy market would achieve a modest rebound in demand relative to historical highs during the middle of the 10-year forecast. For theannual testing, no significant energy market rebound was included in the revenue growth rate expected in the forecast period used for the annual analysis. Thisreduced the resulting annual growth rate for net sales for the first 5 years of the forecast to approximately 3% while the compound annual growth rate for net salesfor years 6 through 10 increased slightly. The perpetual growth factor selected was 3.0%, in line with average long-term GDP growth. Using the revenue growthrate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in the average growth rate over the forecast period would reduce theestimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit by approximately $8 million.The operating profit margin percentage assumption for the forecast period averaged approximately 13% of sales. Using the operating profit margin percentage toillustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in average# 37 operating profit margin over the forecast period would reduce the estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit by approximately $7 million.For the annual Step 1 analysis, expected capital expenditures were increased approximately 2% compared to the second quarter valuation. Engineered Filmscurrently has excess capacity and will continue to have excess capacity for some time. Using capital expenditures to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fairvalue, each additional $1.0 million in average capital expenditures over the forecast period would reduce the estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reportingunit by approximately $2 million. The discount rate used in the determination of the fair value was 13.0%, consistent with the second quarter analysis. Using the discount rate to illustrate thesensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage point increase in the discount rate would have reduced the estimated fair value of the EngineeredFilms reporting unit for the annual testing by approximately $9 million.Engineered Films' results for the last two months of fiscal 2016 subsequent to November 30, the date of the annual impairment analysis, were substantiallyconsistent with the forecast and no new impairment indicators were noted in the fiscal fourth quarter.Vista Reporting UnitIn the fiscal 2016 third quarter the Company determined that a triggering event occurred for its Vista reporting unit, a subsidiary of the Aerostar Division. Thetriggering event was caused by the lowering of financial expectations for sales and operating income of the reporting unit due to delays and uncertainties regardingthe reporting unit’s pursuit of large international opportunities. Despite the Company having a pre-authorization letter from the prime contractor and being innegotiations on a large international contract through the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the contract did not materialize in the fiscal 2016 third quarter as expected.Expectations were lowered as the timing and the likelihood of completing certain international pursuits became less certain. In addition, the Company made achange in the executive leadership of the reporting unit in the third quarter. As a result of these factors, the Company performed a Step 1 long-lived asset and Step1 goodwill impairment analysis using fair value techniques as of October 31, 2015.Following the reassessment of the forecasts utilized in the impairment testing discussed in Note 2 Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements to thisAmendment, the Company concluded that certain long-lived assets of the Vista reporting unit, including finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of October31, 2015.In the assessment, management evaluated the asset groups for completion of Step 1 of the long-lived asset impairment analysis. Pursuant to the applicableaccounting guidance, the Company determined that the relevant cash flows for long-lived asset testing (the lowest level of cash flows that are largely independentof other groups of assets) are one level below the Vista reporting unit. For Vista, these levels were determined to be an asset group identified for the client privatebusiness (CP) and a second asset group associated with radar products and services (Radar). These groups have little strategic or business interdependence, haveminor shared resources, assets or facilities, and long-lived assets are readily identifiable for each asset group.Using the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with each of the two asset groups, a Step 1 test was performed for each asset group. The undiscountedcash flows for the CP asset group exceeded the carrying value of the long-lived assets and no Step 2 test was deemed to be necessary based on the recoverability ofthe long-lived assets. For the Radar asset group, however, the undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying value of the long-lived assets and the Companyperformed a Step 2 impairment analysis for the long-lived assets.In the Step 2 impairment analysis, the fair value determined was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Radar asset group. The resulting implied fair value ofthe Radar asset group long-lived assets was $0.1 million compared to the carrying value of $3.9 million for the asset group. The shortfall of $3.8 million wasrecorded in the third quarter as an impairment charge to operating income reported as "Long-lived Asset Impairment Loss" in the Consolidated Statements ofIncome and Comprehensive Income. Of the total long-lived asset impairment of $3.8 million, $3.2 million was related to amortizable intangible assets related toradar technology and radar customers, $0.5 million was related to property, plant, and equipment, and $0.1 million was related to patents.The most significant assumptions used to determine the undiscounted cash flows of the Vista reporting unit include: Revenue growth rate (particularly those relatedto being successful in being awarded large, international contracts and the timing thereof), and operating profit margin percentage. These assumptions areconsistent with the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Vista reporting unit, which is described below.There were no long-lived asset impairment losses prior to October 31, 2015.# 38 Subsequent to the impairment determination for long-lived assets, the Company compared the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, to itsestimated fair value. In calculating the estimated fair value, the Company used the income approach. The income approach is a valuation technique under whichthe Company estimated future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecast from the perspective of an unrelated market participant. Using historicaltrending and internal forecasting techniques, the Company projected revenues and applied projected gross margins and operating expense ratios to the projectedrevenue to arrive at the future cash flows. A terminal value was then applied to the projected cash flow stream. Future estimated cash flows were discounted totheir present value to calculate the estimated fair value. The discount rate used was the reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital derived using both knownand estimated customary market metrics. The estimated fair value was also compared to comparable market information for reasonableness.The reporting unit's fair value was estimated based on discounted cash flows and that fair value amount was compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit.The analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Vista reporting unit was less than the carrying value by $14.0 million, or 64%. Based on these results, aStep 2 impairment analysis was performed. The fair value determined was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.The Company completed a Step 2 analysis by allocating the enterprise value calculated in Step 1 to the fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities as of theOctober 31 st balance sheet date. The Company also evaluated the fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities including acquisition-related contingentconsideration, or contingent earn-out liability, based on the revised forecast. This liability is more fully described in Note 6 Acquisitions of and Investments inBusinesses and Technologies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K/A. The reduction in Vista's estimated future discounted cashflows resulted in a reduction in the liability and a benefit of $2.3 million recorded in “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and ComprehensiveIncome.In the Step 2 impairment analysis, the fair value determined was allocated to the remaining assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The focus of the Step 2analysis was the fair valuation of the intangible assets, which include existing technology, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements. The resultingimplied fair value of the Vista goodwill was $0.0 compared to the carrying value recorded for the reporting unit, $11.5 million. This $11.5 million shortfall wasrecorded in the third quarter as an impairment charge to operating income reported as "Goodwill impairment loss" in the Consolidated Statement of Income andComprehensive Income. This goodwill impairment loss is described further in Note 7 Goodwill and Intangible Asset s of the Notes to the Consolidated FinancialStatements of this Form 10-K/A.The most significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Vista reporting unit include: Revenue growth rate (particularly those related to beingsuccessful in being awarded large, international contracts and the timing thereof), operating profit margin percentage, and the discount rate.For the third quarter testing, ten-year revenue expectations were built using a bottom-up approach for each of Vista’s markets of focus. A key driver of growth forVista was the timing and magnitude of larger international contract awards and new CP business related to stratospheric projects. The resulting CAGR for net salesfor the first 5 years (fiscal 2016-2020) of the forecast was approximately (11%) while the CAGR for net sales for years 6 through 10 (fiscal 2021-2025) of theforecast was approximately 5%. The 2-year historical CAGR since we acquired this business was approximately 31%, but contract wins did not materializeresulting in a lower CAGR for the forecast. The perpetual growth factor selected was 3.0%, in line with long-term average GDP growth. Using the revenue growthrate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in the average revenue growth rate over the 10-year forecast period (andthe terminal growth rate in perpetuity) would have reduced the estimated fair value of the Vista reporting unit by approximately $400 thousand.Operating profit margin assumptions for the forecast period for fiscal years 2017 - 2025 averaged approximately 10% of sales. This compares to an averageoperating profit margin of approximately 8% of sales during fiscal years 2013-2015. The expansion in operating profit margin during the forecast period is drivenprimarily by anticipated restructuring savings as a result of lowering the cost structure of the business for the lower revenue forecast. Using the operating profitmargin to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in average operating profit margin over the forecast period wouldhave reduced the estimated fair value of the Vista reporting unit by approximately $400 thousand.The discount rate used in the determination of the fair value was 15.0%. Using the discount rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-halfpercentage point increase in the discount rate would have reduced the estimated fair value of the Vista reporting unit by approximately $350 thousand.# 39 Aerostar (excluding Vista)The Company completed its annual Step 1 analysis for the Aerostar reporting unit (excluding Vista) based on November 30, 2015 information. This analysisindicated that the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit exceeded the net book value by approximately $12 million. The most significant assumptionsused to determine the fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit include: revenue growth rate, operating profit margin percentage, and the discount rate.The revenue growth rate expected in the forecast period used for the annual analysis was significantly lower than the historical CAGR due to the planned exitcontract manufacturing business and was based solely on management’s estimates of growth of proprietary revenues during the forecast period. The operatingprofit margin percentage assumption for the forecast period, however, increased based on management’s estimates as proprietary products are expected to carry asignificantly higher margin than contract manufacturing business. The perpetual growth factor selected was 3.0%, in line with average long-term GDP growth.Using the revenue growth rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in the average growth rate over the forecastperiod would reduce the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit by approximately $1 million. Using the operating profit margin to illustrate thesensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in average operating profit margin over the forecast period would reduce the estimated fairvalue of the Aerostar reporting unit by approximately $1 million. The discount rate used in the determination of the fair value was 17.0%. Using the discount rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-halfpercentage point increase in the discount rate would reduce the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit by approximately $1 million.Aerostar's results for the last two months of fiscal 2016 subsequent to November 30, the date of the annual impairment analysis, were substantially consistent withthe forecast and no impairment indicators were noted in the fiscal fourth quarter.Applied TechnologyThe Company completed its annual Step 1 analysis for the Applied Technology reporting unit based on November 30, 2015 information. This analysis indicatedthat the estimated fair value of the Applied Technology reporting unit exceeded the net book value by approximately $130 million. The most significantassumptions used to determine the fair value of the Applied Technology reporting unit include: revenue growth rate, operating profit margin percentage, and thediscount rate.The revenue growth rate expected for the annual analysis was significantly lower than the 5-year historical CAGR of 8.6% due to weak end-market conditions thatresulted in declining sales beginning in fiscal 2014 for Applied Technology. The operating profit margin assumption for the forecast period was assumed to be inline with current results as the prior periods operating profit margin benefited significantly from high production levels. The perpetual growth factor selected was3.0%, in line with average long-term GDP growth. Using the revenue growth rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentagedecrease in the average growth rate over the forecast period would reduce the estimated fair value of the Applied Technology reporting unit by approximately $10million. Using the operating profit margin to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-half percentage decrease in average operating profit marginover the forecast period would reduce the estimated fair value of the Applied Technology reporting unit by approximately $5 million.The discount rate used in the determination of the fair value was 13.0%. Using the discount rate to illustrate the sensitivity on this estimated fair value, a one-halfpercentage point increase in the discount rate would reduce the estimated fair value of the Applied Technology reporting unit by approximately $12 million.Applied Technology's results for the last two months of fiscal 2016 subsequent to November 30, the date of the annual impairment analysis, were substantiallyconsistent with the forecast and no impairment indicators were noted in the fiscal fourth quarter.Acquisition-Related Contingent ConsiderationAcquisition-related contingent consideration represents an obligation of the Company to transfer additional assets or equity interests if specified future eventsoccur or conditions are met. This contingency is accounted for at fair value either as a liability or equity depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement. TheCompany determines the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period. In doingso, the Company makes significant estimates and assumptions regarding future events or conditions being achieved under the subject contingent agreement as wellas the appropriate discount rate to apply. Such valuation techniques include one or more significant inputs that are not observable.# 40 Uncertain Tax PositionsAccounting for tax positions requires judgments, including estimating reserves for uncertainties associated with the interpretation of income tax laws andregulations and the resolution of tax positions with tax authorities after discussions and negotiations. The ultimate outcome of these matters could result in materialfavorable or unfavorable adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSAccounting Standards AdoptedIn April 2015 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-04, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits(Topic 715) Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets" (ASU 2015-04). The amendments inASU 2015-04 allow a reporting entity that may incur more costs than other entities when measuring the fair value of plan assets of a defined benefit pension orother postretirement benefit plan at other than a month-end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end date that is closest to thedate of event (such as a plan amendment, settlement, or curtailment that calls for a remeasurement in accordance with existing requirements) that is triggering theremeasurement. In addition, if a contribution or significant event occurs between the month-end date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligationsand an entity’s fiscal year-end, the entity should adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations to reflect the effects of those contributions orsignificant events. However, an entity should not adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations for other events that occur between themonth-end measurement and the entity’s fiscal year-end that are not caused by the entity (for example, changes in market prices or interest rates). This practicalexpedient for the measurement date also applies to significant events that trigger a remeasurement in an interim period. An entity electing the practical expedientfor the measurement date is required to disclose the accounting policy election and the date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations inaccordance with the amendments in ASU 2015-04. ASU 2015-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company may adopt thestandard prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. In the fiscal 2016 first quarter the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-04 and apply it on a prospectivebasis. The Company's plan that provides postretirement medical and other benefits was amended on August 25, 2015. As a result of this plan amendment, theCompany elected the practical expedient pursuant to this guidance and a valuation was completed using an August 31, 2015 measurement date.In April 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU2015-03). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs and require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debtliability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition andmeasurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. In August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" (ASU2015-15). The guidance in ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements.Given the absence of authoritative guidance, in ASU 2015-15, FASB adopted SEC staff comments that they would not object to an entity deferring and presentingdebt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless ofwhether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 are both effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2015. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Companyelected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 in fiscal 2016 first quarter and ASU 2015-15 in fiscal 2016 third quarter. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significantimpact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or results of operations for the period since there were no prior period costs it applied to. Debt issuancecosts associated with the credit facility discussed further in Note 11 Financing Arrangements have been presented as an asset and are being amortized ratably overthe term of the line of credit arrangement.In April 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): ReportingDiscontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" (ASU No. 2014-08). ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for determiningwhich disposals should be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Additionally, this guidance requires that abusiness that qualifies as held for sale upon acquisition should be reported as discontinued operations. This guidance became effective for the Company onFebruary 1, 2015 and applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The adoption of thisguidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or disclosures.In addition to the accounting pronouncements adopted and described above, the Company adopted various other accounting pronouncements that became effectivein fiscal 2016. None of this guidance had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or disclosures for theperiod.# 41New Accounting Standards Not Yet AdoptedIn February 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02). The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 isthe recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee torecognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use theunderlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made inoptional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly,optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonablycertain to exercise that purchase option. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class ofunderlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on astraight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Lessees and lessors are required to recognizeand measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes anumber of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account forleases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that weretracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financialstatements, results of operations, and disclosures.In January of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, " Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities. " The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the reporting model for financial instruments. The amendments in this guidancesupersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for sale) and requireequity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies to be measured at fairvalue with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. An entity’s equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting orresult in consolidation of an investee are not included within the scope of this update. The amendments also require separate presentation of financial assets andfinancial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanyingnotes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.Early application guidance is provided by the update but except as discussed in the guidance, early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingthe effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In November 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" (ASU 2015-17). CurrentGAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction (or tax-paying component of a jurisdiction) to be presented as a net current asset or liability and netnoncurren t asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlyingtemporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuationallowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, ASU2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result,each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permitsoffsetting within a jurisdiction - that is, companies are still prohibited from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets ofanother jurisdiction. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company may apply the standard either prospectively to alldeferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of thisguidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and working capital.In September 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments"(ASU 2015-16). The amendments in ASU 2015-16 apply to all entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which theaccounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and, during the measurement period, have an adjustment toprovisional amounts recognized. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identifiedduring the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the sameperiod’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to theprovisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this update require an entity to presentseparately on the face of the income# 42statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reportingperiods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-16 is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts thatoccur after the effective date of the update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is evaluating theimpact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In July 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (ASU 2015-11). The amendments in ASU2015-11 clarify that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is theestimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Substantial and unusuallosses that result from subsequent measurement of inventory should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments are to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted asof the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In April 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for FeesPaid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" (ASU 2015-05). The amendments in ASU 2015-05 clarify existing GAAP guidance about a customer’s accounting forfees paid in a cloud computing arrangement with or without a software license. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platformas a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting arrangements. ASU 2015-05 adds guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software, which will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computingarrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition ofother software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a servicecontract. The guidance does not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. All software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will beaccounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. ASU 2015-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendmentsmay be applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially altered after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Earlyadoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations,and cash flows.In February 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (ASU 2015-02). The amendmentsin ASU 2015-02 affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject toreevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legalentities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership;3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships;and 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate inaccordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company isevaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated legal entities and on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides a comprehensive newrecognition model that requires recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements inFASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and,in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. It also requires additional disclosure about thenature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of theeffective date (ASU 2015-14) and the standard is now effective for the Company for fiscal 2019 and interim periods therein. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted as ofthe original effective date, which for the Company is fiscal 2018. The guidance may be applied using either of the following transition methods: (i) a fullretrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or (ii) aretrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnotedisclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the method and date of adoption and the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’sconsolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.# 43FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSCertain statements contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, andSection 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding thefuture. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identifyforward-looking statements. The Company intends that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities LitigationReform Act. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is noassurance that such assumptions are correct or that these expectations will be achieved. Assumptions involve important risks and uncertainties that couldsignificantly affect results in the future. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to weather conditions and commodity prices,which could affect sales and profitability in some of the Company's primary markets, such as agriculture and construction and oil and gas drilling; or changes incompetition, raw material availability, technology or relationships with the Company's largest customers, risks and uncertainties relating to development of newtechnologies to satisfy customer requirements, possible development of competitive technologies, ability to scale production of new products without negativelyimpacting quality and cost, risks of operating in foreign markets, risks relating to acquisitions, including risks of integration or unanticipated liabilities orcontingencies, and ability to finance investment and working capital needs for new development projects, any of which could adversely impact any of theCompany's product lines, as well as other risks described in Item 1A., Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The foregoing list is not exhaustiveand the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of suchstatements. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trendsin future periods.ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKThe exposure to market risks pertains mainly to changes in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company has no debtoutstanding as of January 31, 2016. The Company does not expect operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in interest rates.The Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The functional currency is translated intoU.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the period-end exchange rates, and average exchange rates for the statement of income. Adjustments resulting fromfinancial statement translations are included as cumulative translation adjustments in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within shareholders'equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred and are included in "Other income (expense), net" in the ConsolidatedStatements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency fluctuations had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results ofoperations, or cash flows.The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company does utilize derivativefinancial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on those transactions that are denominated in currency otherthan its functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. Such transactions are principally Canadian dollar-denominated transactions. The use of these financialinstruments had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.# 44 ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Index to Financial Statements PageManagement's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 46Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 48Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Balance Sheets 50 Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income 51 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity 52 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 53 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 54Quarterly Information (Unaudited) - included in Item 5 12 # 45 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING(Restated)Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding thereliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only inaccordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate.Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016 using the criteria described inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibilitythat a material misstatement of annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.The Company has identified the following control deficiencies:●The Company’s controls relating to the response to the risks of material misstatement were not effectively designed. This material weaknesscontributed to the following additional material weaknesses.●The Company’s controls over the accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, were not effectivelydesigned and maintained, specifically, the controls related to the identification of the proper unit of account as well as the development and review ofassumptions used in interim and annual impairment tests. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statementsfor the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.●The Company’s controls related to the accounting for income taxes were not effectively designed and maintained, specifically the controls to assessthat the income tax provision and related tax assets and liabilities are complete and accurate. This control deficiency resulted in adjustments to theincome tax provision and related tax asset and liability accounts and related disclosures for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31,2015 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.●The Company’s controls over the existence of inventories were not effectively designed and maintained. Specifically, the controls to monitor thatinventory subject to the cycle count program was counted at the frequency levels and accuracy rates required under the Company’s policy, and thecontrols to verify the existence of inventory held at third-party locations were not effectively designed and maintained. These control deficienciesresulted in adjustments to inventory and cost of sales accounts and disclosures for the three- and nine-months ended October 31, 2015 and yearended January 31, 2016.●The Company’s controls over the completeness and accuracy of spreadsheets and system-generated reports used in internal control over financialreporting were not effectively designed and maintained.Additionally, these control deficiencies could result in additional misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement tothe annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that these controldeficiencies constitute material weaknesses.In Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in our Original Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016, our managementconcluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016. Our management has subsequently concluded that thematerial weaknesses described above existed as of January 31, 2016. As a result, we have concluded we did not maintain effective internal control over financialreporting as of January 31,# 46 2016, based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. Accordingly, management has restated its report on internalcontrol over financial reporting.The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independentregistered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears on the next page./s/ Daniel A. Rykhus /s/ Steven E. BrazonesDaniel A. Rykhus Steven E. BrazonesPresident and Chief Executive Officer Vice President and Chief Financial OfficerFebruary 2, 2017# 47 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMTo the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Raven Industries, Inc.In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, of shareholders’equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raven Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at January 31, 2016, 2015, and2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2016 in conformity with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item15 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.Management and we previously concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016. However,management has subsequently determined that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) the response tothe risks of material misstatement, (ii) the accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, (iii) the accounting for incometaxes, (iv) the controls over the existence of inventories subject to the cycle count program and held at third party locations, and (v) the completeness and accuracyof spreadsheets and system-generated reports used in internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, management’s report has been restated and our opinionon internal control over financial reporting, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report. Also in our opinion, the Company did notmaintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because material weaknesses ininternal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) the response to the risks of material misstatement, (ii) the accounting for goodwill andlong-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, (iii) the accounting for income taxes, (iv) the controls over the existence of inventories subject to thecycle count program and held at third party locations, and (v) the completeness and accuracy of spreadsheets and system-generated reports used in internal controlover financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is areasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The materialweaknesses referred to above are described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8. We considered thesematerial weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2016 consolidated financial statements, and our opinionregarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. TheCompany's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financialreporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Ourresponsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financialreporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of materialmisstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements includedexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significantestimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting includedobtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design andoperating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in thecircumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2016 consolidated financial statements to correct errors.A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financialreporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactionsand dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financialstatements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.# 48 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate./s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPMinneapolis, MinnesotaMarch 29, 2016, except for the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements and the matter described in the penultimateparagraph of Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, as to which the date is February 2, 2017# 49 RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per-share amounts) As of January 31, 2016 (AsRestated) 2015 2014ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents$33,782 $51,949 $52,987Short-term investments— 250 250Accounts receivable, net38,069 56,576 54,643Inventories45,839 55,152 54,865Deferred income taxes3,110 3,958 3,372Other current assets4,429 3,094 3,288Total current assets125,229 170,979 169,405 Property, plant and equipment, net115,704 117,513 98,076Goodwill40,672 52,148 22,274Amortizable intangible assets, net12,956 18,490 8,156Other assets4,127 3,743 3,908TOTAL ASSETS$298,688 $362,873 $301,819 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities Accounts payable$6,038 $11,545 $12,324Accrued liabilities12,042 19,187 16,248Customer advances739 1,111 1,247Total current liabilities18,819 31,843 29,819 Other liabilities15,640 25,793 20,538 Commitments and contingencies Shareholders' equity Common stock, $1 par value, authorized shares 100,000; issued 67,006; 66,947; and 65,318,respectively67,006 66,947 65,318Paid-in capital53,907 53,237 10,556Retained earnings229,443 244,180 231,029Accumulated other comprehensive loss(3,501) (5,849) (2,179)Less treasury stock at cost, 30,500; 28,897; and 28,897 shares, respectively(82,700) (53,362) (53,362)Total Raven Industries, Inc. shareholders' equity264,155 305,153 251,362Noncontrolling interest74 84 100Total shareholders' equity264,229 305,237 251,462TOTAL LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY$298,688 $362,873 $301,819 The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. # 50RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) For the years ended January 31, 2016 (AsRestated) 2015 2014Net sales$258,229 $378,153 $394,677Cost of sales191,255 274,907 275,323Gross profit66,974 103,246 119,354 Research and development expenses14,686 17,440 16,576Selling, general and administrative expenses32,574 42,005 38,784Goodwill impairment loss11,497 — —Long-lived asset impairment loss3,826 — —Operating income4,391 43,801 63,994 Other (expense), net(310) (300) (371)Income before income taxes4,081 43,501 63,623 Income tax (benefit) provision(767) 11,705 20,721Net income4,848 31,796 42,902 Net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest72 63 (1) Net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc.$4,776 $31,733 $42,903 Net income per common share: ─ Basic$0.13 $0.86 $1.18─ Diluted$0.13 $0.86 $1.17 Comprehensive income: Net income$4,848 $31,796 $42,902 Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax: Foreign currency translation(729) (1,466) (424)Postretirement benefits, net of income tax (expense) benefit of ($1,620), $1,187, and ($183),respectively3,077 (2,204) 340Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax2,348 (3,670) (84) Comprehensive income7,196 28,126 42,818 Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest72 63 (1) Comprehensive income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc.$7,124 $28,063 $42,819The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. # 51 RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per-share amounts) $1 ParCommonStockPaid-inCapitalTreasury StockRetainedEarningsAccumulated OtherComprehen-siveIncome (Loss)Raven Industries,Inc.

(the Company or Raven) is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural,energy, construction, and defense markets. The Company conducts this business through the following direct and indirect subsidiaries: Aerostar International, Inc.(Aerostar); Vista Research, Inc. (Vista); Raven International Holding Company BV (Raven Holdings); Raven Industries Canada, Inc. (Raven Canada); SBGInnovatie BV; Navtronics BVBA; Raven Industries GmbH (Raven GmbH); Raven Industries Australia Pty Ltd (Raven Australia) and Raven Do BrazilParticipacoes E Servicos Technicos LTDA (Raven Brazil). The Company and these subsidiaries comprise three unique operating units, or divisions, classified intoreportable segments (Applied Technology, Engineered Films, and Aerostar).The consolidated financial statements for the periods included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlledsubsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.Noncontrolling InterestNoncontrolling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities. TheCompany owns 75% of a business venture to pursue potential product and support services contracts for agencies and instrumentalities of the United Statesgovernment. The business venture, Aerostar Integrated Systems (AIS), is included in the Aerostar business segment. No capital contributions were made by thenoncontrolling interest since the initial capitalization in fiscal year 2013 . Given the Company's majority ownership interest, the accounts of the business venturehave been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor's interests in the netassets and operations of the business venture.Investments in AffiliateThe Company owns an interest of approximately 22% in Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. (SST). The Company has significant influence, butneither a controlling interest nor a majority interest in the risks or rewards of SST and as such, this affiliate investment is accounted for using the equity method.The investment balance is included in “Other assets” while the Company's share of the SST’s results of operations is included in “Other income (expense), net.”The Company considers whether the value of any of its equity method investments has been impaired whenever adverse events or changes in circumstancesindicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considered any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, includinghistorical financial results, product development activities, and the overall health of the affiliate's industry), an impairment loss would be recorded.Use of EstimatesPreparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management tomake certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company's forecasts, based principally on estimates, are critical inputs to asset valuations suchas those for inventory or goodwill. These assumptions and estimates require significant judgment and actual results could differ from assumed and estimatedamounts.Foreign CurrencyThe Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use the local currency as their functional currency. The functional currency is translated intoU.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the period-end exchange rates and average exchange rates for the statement of income and comprehensive income.Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in “Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss)” within shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred and are included in “Other income (expense),net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses on intercompany notes receivable andnotes payable denominated in foreign currencies for which settlement is not planned in the foreseeable future are considered part the net investment and arereported in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments.# 54(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three or fewer months to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalent balancesare principally concentrated in checking, money market, and savings accounts. Certificates of deposit that mature in over 90 days but less than one year areconsidered short-term investments. Certificates of deposit that mature in one year or more are considered to be other long-term assets and are carried at cost.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsTrade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and are considered past due based on invoice terms. The allowance fordoubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses. This is based on historical write-off experience by segment and anestimate of the collectability of any known problem accounts. Unbilled receivables arise when revenues have been earned, but not billed, and are related todifferences in timing. Unbilled receivables were not material as of January 31, 2016, 2015, or 2014 .Inventory ValuationInventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Market value encompasses consideration of all businessfactors including expected future sales, price, contract terms, and usefulness.Pre-Contract CostsFrom time to time, the Company incurs costs to begin fulfilling the statement of work under a specific anticipated contract still being negotiated with the customer.If the Company determines that it is probable it will be awarded the specific anticipated contract, the pre-contract costs incurred, excluding start-up costs which areexpensed as incurred, are deferred to the balance sheet and included in "Inventories". Deferred pre-contract costs are periodically reviewed and assessed forrecoverability under the contract based on the Company’s assessment of the nature of the costs, the probability and timing of the award, and other relevant factsand circumstances. Write-offs of pre-contract costs are charged to cost of sales when it becomes probable that such costs will not be recoverable.The Company recorded a charge of $2,933 for the write-off of pre-contract costs specific to one international contract that was not awarded to Vista in the thirdquarter of fiscal 2016. No deferred pre-contract costs were written-off in the periods ended January 31, 2015 or 2014. No pre-contract costs were included in"Inventories" at January 31, 2016 or January 31, 2015.Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment held for use is carried at the asset's cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. With the prospective adoption ofthe straight-line method of depreciation for manufacturing equipment, office equipment, and furniture and fixtures placed in service on or after February 1, 2015,the Company no longer primarily uses accelerated methods of computing depreciation. This change was made as a straight-line method of depreciation moreaccurately reflects the economic consumption of these assets than did the accelerated method previously used. This prospective change in the depreciation methoddid not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.The estimated useful lives used for computing depreciation are as follows:Building and improvements15 - 39 yearsManufacturing equipment by segment Applied Technology3 - 5 yearsEngineered Films5 - 12 yearsAerostar3 - 5 yearsFurniture, fixtures, office equipment, and other3 - 7 yearsThe cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense in the period incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulateddepreciation of assets sold or disposed are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.The Company capitalizes certain internal costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software in accordance with the accountingguidance for such costs. There were no capitalized software costs in fiscal year 2016 or 2015 and capitalized software costs totaled $203 in fiscal 2014 . The costsare included in “Property, plant and equipment, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed asincurred. Amortization expense related to capitalized software is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated lives ranging from 3 to 5 years and isincluded in depreciation expense.# 55(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Fair Value MeasurementsFair value is defined as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use inpricing an asset or liability. The Company uses the established fair value hierarchy, which classifies or prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Theseclassifications include:Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; andLevel 3 - Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.The Company's financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. TheCompany determines fair value of its cash equivalents and short-term investments through quoted market prices.The Company's goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Thesevaluations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.For all acquisitions, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In addition, the Companydetermines the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period. These valuations arederived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable. Fair value measurements associated with acquisitions, includingacquisition-related contingent liabilities, are described in Note 6 Acquisition of and Investments in Businesses and Technologies.Intangible AssetsIntangible assets, primarily comprised of technologies acquired through acquisition, are recorded at cost and are presented net of accumulated amortization.Amortization is computed using an amortization method that best approximates the pattern of economic benefits which the asset provides. The Company has usedboth the straight-line method and the undiscounted cash flows method to appropriately allocate the cost of intangible assets to earnings in each reporting period.The straight-line method allocates the cost of such intangible assets ratably over the asset’s life. Under the undiscounted cash flow method, the estimated cash flowattributable to each year of an intangible asset’s life is calculated as a percentage of the total of the cash flows over the asset’s life and that percentage is applied tothe initial value of the asset to determine the annual amortization to be recorded.The estimated useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets range from 3 to 20 years.GoodwillThe Company recognizes goodwill as the excess cost of an acquired business over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisitionearn-out payments are accrued at fair value as of the purchase date and payments reduce the accrual without affecting goodwill. Any change in the fair value of thecontingent consideration after the acquisition date is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be animpairment. Impairment tests of goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level. A qualitative impairment assessment over relevant events and circumstancesmay be assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If events and circumstancesindicate the fair value of a reporting unit may be less than its carrying value, then the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows and are comparedwith the corresponding carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the amount of the impairmentloss must be measured and then recognized to the extent the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value. When performing goodwill impairmenttesting, the fair values of reporting units are determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flowprojections. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures).# 56(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Long-Lived AssetsThe Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an assetexceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is the excess ofthe carrying value of the asset over its fair value.Long-lived assets determined to be held for sale and classified as such in accordance with the applicable guidance are reported as long-term assets at the lower ofthe asset's carrying amount or fair value less the estimated cost to sell. Depreciation is not recorded once a long-lived asset has been classified as held for sale.Acquisition-Related Contingent ConsiderationAcquisition-related contingent consideration represents an obligation of the Company to transfer additional assets or equity interests if specified future eventsoccur or conditions are met. This contingency is accounted for at fair value either as a liability or equity depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement. TheCompany determines the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period. In doingso, the Company makes significant estimates and assumptions regarding future events or conditions being achieved under the subject contingent agreement as wellas the appropriate discount rate to apply. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level3 fair value measures).Insurance ObligationsThe Company utilizes insurance policies to cover workers' compensation and general liability costs. Liabilities are accrued related to claims filed and estimates forclaims incurred but not reported. To the extent these obligations are expected to be reimbursed by insurance, the probable insurance policy benefit is included as acomponent of “Other current assets.”ContingenciesThe Company is involved as a defendant in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimatesettlement of these claims cannot be easily estimated, management believes that any liability resulting from these claims will, in many cases, be substantiallycovered by insurance. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending matters will be material to its results of operations, financialposition, or cash flows.The Company also has contingencies related to potential asset impairments or contingent liabilities. An estimate of the loss on these matters is charged tooperations when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Managementdoes not believe any such contingent asset impairment or liability will be material to its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of anarrangement, the sales price is determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and shipment or delivery has occurred (depending on the terms of the sale). TheCompany sells directly to customers or distributors who incur the expense and commitment for any post-sale obligations beyond stated warranty terms. Estimatedreturns, sales allowances, or warranty charges are recognized upon shipment of a product.For certain service-related contracts, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby contract revenues arerecognized on a pro-rata basis based upon the ratio of costs incurred compared to total estimated contract costs. Contract costs include labor, material,subcontracting costs, as well as allocation of indirect costs. Revenues including estimated profits are recorded as costs are incurred. Losses estimated to be incurredupon completion of contracts are charged to operations when they become known.Certain contracts contain provisions for incentive payments that the Company may receive based on performance criteria related to product design, developmentand production standards. Revenue related to the incentive payments is recognized when ultimate realization by the Company is assured, which generally occurswhen the provisions and performance criteria required by the contract are met.# 57(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Operating ExpensesThe primary types of operating expenses are classified in the income statement as follows:Cost of sales Research and development expenses Selling, general and administrative expensesDirect material costsMaterial acquisition and handling costsDirect laborFactory overhead including depreciation andamortizationInventory obsolescenceProduct warrantiesShipping and handling cost Personnel costsProfessional service feesMaterial and suppliesFacility allocation Personnel costsProfessional service feesAdvertisingPromotionsInformation technology equipment depreciationOffice suppliesFacility allocationThe Company's research and development expenditures consist primarily of internal direct and indirect costs associated with development of technologies tosupport its proprietary product lines in each of its divisions. These research and development costs are expensed as incurred.The Company's gross margins may not be comparable to industry peers due to variability in the classification of these expenses across the industries in which theCompany operates.WarrantiesAccruals necessary for product warranties are estimated based on historical warranty costs and average time elapsed between purchases and returns for eachdivision. Additional accruals are made for any significant, discrete warranty issues.Share-Based CompensationThe Company records compensation expense related to its share-based compensation plans using the fair value method. Under this method, the fair value of share-based compensation is determined as of the grant date and the related expense is recorded over the period in which the share-based compensation vests.Income TaxesDeferred income taxes reflect future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of the Company's assets and liabilitiesmeasured using enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods when the temporary differences will affect taxable income. When necessary,deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect realizable value. Accruals are maintained for uncertain tax positions.Accounting PronouncementsAccounting Standards AdoptedIn April 2015 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-04, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits(Topic 715) Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets" (ASU 2015-04). The amendments inASU 2015-04 allow a reporting entity that may incur more costs than other entities when measuring the fair value of plan assets of a defined benefit pension orother postretirement benefit plan at other than a month-end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end date that is closest to thedate of event (such as a plan amendment, settlement, or curtailment that calls for a remeasurement in accordance with existing requirements) that is triggering theremeasurement. In addition, if a contribution or significant event occurs between the month-end date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligationsand an entity’s fiscal year-end, the entity should adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations to reflect the effects of those contributions orsignificant events. However, an entity should not adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations for other events that occur between themonth-end measurement and the entity’s fiscal year-end that are not caused by the entity (for example, changes in market prices or interest rates). This practicalexpedient for the measurement date also applies to significant events that trigger a remeasurement in an interim period. An entity electing the practical expedientfor the measurement date is required to disclose the accounting policy election and the date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations inaccordance with the amendments in ASU 2015-04. ASU 2015-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company may adopt thestandard prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. In the fiscal 2016 first quarter the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-04 and apply it on a prospectivebasis. The Company's plan that provides postretirement medical and other benefits was amended on August 25, 2015. As a result of this plan amendment, theCompany elected the practical expedient pursuant to this guidance and a valuation was completed using an August 31, 2015 measurement date.# 58(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) In April 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU2015-03). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs and require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debtliability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition andmeasurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. In August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" (ASU2015-15). The guidance in ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements.Given the absence of authoritative guidance, in ASU 2015-15, FASB adopted SEC staff comments that they would not object to an entity deferring and presentingdebt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless ofwhether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15 are both effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2015. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Companyelected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 in fiscal 2016 first quarter and ASU 2015-15 in fiscal 2016 third quarter. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significantimpact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or results of operations for the period since there were no prior period costs it applied to. Debt issuancecosts associated with the credit facility discussed further in Note 11 Financing Arrangements have been presented as an asset and are being amortized ratably overthe term of the line of credit arrangement.In April 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): ReportingDiscontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" (ASU No. 2014-08). ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for determiningwhich disposals should be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Additionally, this guidance requires that abusiness that qualifies as held for sale upon acquisition should be reported as discontinued operations. This guidance became effective for the Company onFebruary 1, 2015 and applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The adoption of thisguidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or disclosures.In addition to the accounting pronouncements adopted and described above, the Company adopted various other accounting pronouncements that became effectivein fiscal 2016. None of this guidance had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or disclosures for theperiod.New Accounting Standards Not Yet AdoptedIn February 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02). The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 isthe recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee torecognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use theunderlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made inoptional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly,optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonablycertain to exercise that purchase option. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class ofunderlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on astraight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Lessees and lessors are required to recognizeand measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes anumber of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account forleases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that weretracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financialstatements, results of operations, and disclosures.In January of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, " Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities. " The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the reporting model for financial instruments. The amendments in this guidancesupersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for sale) and requireequity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies to be measured at fairvalue with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. An entity’s equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting orresult in consolidation of an investee are not included within the scope of this update. The amendments also require separate presentation of financial assets andfinancial liabilities by measurement category and form# 59(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. This guidance iseffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application guidance is provided by theupdate but except as discussed in the guidance, early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have onthe Company's financial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In November 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" (ASU 2015-17). CurrentGAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction (or tax-paying component of a jurisdiction) to be presented as a net current asset or liability and netnoncurren t asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlyingtemporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuationallowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, ASU2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result,each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permitsoffsetting within a jurisdiction - that is, companies are still prohibited from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets ofanother jurisdiction. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company may apply the standard either prospectively to alldeferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of thisguidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and working capital.In September 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments"(ASU 2015-16). The amendments in ASU 2015-16 apply to all entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which theaccounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and, during the measurement period, have an adjustment toprovisional amounts recognized. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identifiedduring the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the sameperiod’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to theprovisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this update require an entity to presentseparately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would havebeen recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effectivefor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-16 is to be applied prospectively to adjustmentsto provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. TheCompany is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In July 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (ASU 2015-11). The amendments in ASU2015-11 clarify that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is theestimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Substantial and unusuallosses that result from subsequent measurement of inventory should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments are to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted asof the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements, results of operations, and disclosures.In April 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for FeesPaid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" (ASU 2015-05). The amendments in ASU 2015-05 clarify existing GAAP guidance about a customer’s accounting forfees paid in a cloud computing arrangement with or without a software license. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include software as a service, platformas a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting arrangements. ASU 2015-05 adds guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software, which will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computingarrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition ofother software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a servicecontract. The guidance does not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. All software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will beaccounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. ASU 2015-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendmentsmay be applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially altered after# 60(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidancewill have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.In February 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" (ASU 2015-02). The amendmentsin ASU 2015-02 affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject toreevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legalentities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership;3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships;and 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate inaccordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company isevaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated legal entities and on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides a comprehensive newrecognition model that requires recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements inFASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and,in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. It also requires additional disclosure about thenature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of theeffective date (ASU 2015-14) and the standard is now effective for the Company for fiscal 2019 and interim periods therein. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted as ofthe original effective date, which for the Company is fiscal 2018. The guidance may be applied using either of the following transition methods: (i) a fullretrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or (ii) aretrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnotedisclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the method and date of adoption and the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’sconsolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.NOTE 2RESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSManagement has identified certain financial statement errors as further described below.VistaIn conjunction with the identification of the material weakness in internal controls related to the Company’s accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets,including finite-lived assets, the Company reassessed the impairment analysis of the Vista reporting unit that had been performed during the quarter ended October31, 2015. Based on that reassessment, the Company concluded that there were errors in certain forecast assumptions and in the determination of the unit of accountfor long-lived asset impairment testing which resulted in a $3,813 understatement of impairment charges related to certain long-lived assets that should have beenrecorded in the quarter ended October 31, 2015. The Company has corrected this error by recording an impairment charge of $3,813 , reported as "Long-lived assetimpairment loss" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Of the total long-lived asset impairment adjustment, $3,259 was related toamortizable intangible assets related to radar technology, radar customers and patents and $554 was related to property, plant, and equipment. As a result of sucherrors and the incremental impairment charges in the quarter ended October 31, 2015, the Company has also recorded adjustments to reverse $378 and $95 ofamortization and depreciation expense, respectively, and recorded an additional impairment charge to "Long-lived asset impairment loss" of $13 in the quarter andyear ended January 31, 2016.The Company also determined that the forecast assumption errors resulted in an understatement of the amount of goodwill impairment originally recognized in thequarter ended October 31, 2015 and that the tax-deductible goodwill of the Vista reporting unit should have been fully impaired as of that date. The Company hascorrected this error by recording an additional goodwill impairment charge of $4,084 .In connection with the acquisition of Vista in 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to make annual payments based upon percentages of specific revenuestreams for seven years after the acquisition date. In connection with the errors in the forecast assumptions noted above, the Company determined that there wasalso an error in determining the fair value of the acquisition-# 61(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) related contingent consideration liability in the quarter ended October 31, 2015. The Company has corrected this error by recording a reduction in the "Accruedliability" (acquisition-related contingent consideration) of $44 , "Other liability" (acquisition-related contingent consideration) of $746 , and "Cost of sales" of $790for the quarter ended October 31, 2015. The Company also recorded an immaterial adjustment to "Cost of sales" of $23 in the fourth quarter ended January 31,2016 to reverse the impact of the fiscal 2016 third quarter acquisition-related contingent consideration error noted above.As a result of the material weakness in internal controls related to the Company’s monitoring of inventory existence, the Company identified a net $49overstatement of the carrying value of inventory as of January 31, 2016. The Company has corrected the error by recognizing the net write-off of such inventory inthe year ended January 31, 2016.OtherThe financial statements are also being adjusted to correct the income tax benefit for the impact of the goodwill, intangibles and acquisition-related contingentconsideration liability and other error corrections noted above, as well as to correct for other tax accounting errors. The aggregate impact of tax accounting errorsresulted in a $2,988 reduction of “Income tax (benefit) provision”, a reduction “Other Current Assets” (income tax receivable) of $455 , a reduction of “OtherLiabilities” (deferred income taxes) of $2,179 , a reduction of "Other liabilities" (uncertain tax positions) of $340 , and a $923 reduction of "Paid-in capital" as ofand for the year ended January 31, 2016.The effects of the restatement on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): January 31, 2016Consolidated Balance Sheet: As PreviouslyReported RestatementAdjustments As RestatedInventories $45,888 $(49) $45,839Other current assets 4,884 (455) 4,429Total current assets 125,733 (504) 125,229Property, plant and equipment, net 116,162 (458) 115,704Goodwill 44,756 (4,084) 40,672Amortizable intangible assets, net 15,832 (2,876) 12,956Total assets 306,610 (7,922) 298,688Other liabilities 18,926 (3,286) 15,640Paid-in capital 54,830 (923) 53,907Retained earnings 233,156 (3,713) 229,443Total Raven Industries, Inc. shareholders' equity 268,791 (4,636) 264,155Total shareholders' equity 268,865 (4,636) 264,229Total liabilities and shareholders' equity 306,610 (7,922) 298,688# 62(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) The effects of the restatement on the Company's consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the year ended January 31, 2016 are as follows(in thousands): Year Ended January 31, 2016Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: As PreviouslyReported RestatementAdjustments As RestatedCost of sales $192,444 $(1,189) $191,255Gross profit 65,785 1,189 66,974Selling, general and administrative expenses 32,594 (20) 32,574Goodwill impairment loss 7,413 4,084 11,497Long-lived asset impairment loss — 3,826 3,826Operating income 11,092 (6,701) 4,391Income before income taxes 10,782 (6,701) 4,081Income taxes (benefit) provision 2,221 (2,988) (767)Net income 8,561 (3,713) 4,848Net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc. 8,489 (3,713) 4,776Net income per common share: ─ Basic $0.23 $(0.10) $0.13 ─ Diluted $0.23 $(0.10) $0.13 Comprehensive income 10,909 (3,713) 7,196Comprehensive income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc. 10,837 (3,713) 7,124The effects of the restatement on the Company's consolidated statements of shareholders' equity as of or for the year ended January 31, 2016 are as follows (inthousands): Year Ended January 31, 2016Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity: As PreviouslyReported RestatementAdjustments As RestatedNet income $8,561 $(3,713) $4,848Income tax impact related to share-based compensation (308) (923) (1,231)Total shareholders' equity as of January 31, 2016 268,865 (4,636) 264,229The effects of the restatement on the Net cash provided by operating activities of our consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2016 areas follows (in thousands): Year Ended January 31, 2016Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: As PreviouslyReported RestatementAdjustments As RestatedNet income $8,561 $(3,713) $4,848Depreciation 13,951 (95) 13,856Amortization of intangible assets 3,658 (378) 3,280Goodwill impairment loss 7,413 4,084 11,497Long-lived asset impairment loss — 3,826 3,826Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration (721) (767) (1,488)Deferred income taxes (3,021) (3,018) (6,039)Change in operating assets and liabilities 9,847 41 9,888Other operating activities, net 2,092 20 2,112Net cash provided by operating activities 44,008 — 44,008# 63(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) There were no impacts to Net cash used in investing activities or Net cash used in financing activities within our consolidated statement of cash flows nor wasthere an impact on the Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from restatement.The impacts of the restatements have been reflected throughout the financial statements, including the applicable footnotes, as appropriate.As a result of the restatement of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 and for the fiscal year endedJanuary 31, 2016 on this Form 10-K/A, the Company has been unable to timely file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended July 31,2016 and the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, and, therefore, the Company is currently non-compliant with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250( c)(1).

(Integra). Integra, which was a privately-heldcompany headquartered in Madison, South Dakota, specialized in the manufacture and conversion of high-quality plastic film and sheeting. This acquisitionexpanded Raven's Engineered Films Division's production capacity with additional extrusion and lamination operations in Brandon, South Dakota and fabricationlocations in Madison, South Dakota and Midland, Texas, as well as broadened Engineered Films' product offerings and enhanced its converting capabilities.Integra's results of operations subsequent to acquisition are included in the Engineered Films segment.At the acquisition date, the total purchase price was valued at approximately $48,200 net of an estimated working capital adjustment included in the terms of themerger and acquisition agreement. These terms provided for payment through the issuance of 1,541,696 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $39,252, based on the closing stock price on the date of acquisition and cash payments of $9,361 . The Company received $351 in settlement of the working capitaladjustment to the purchase price and finalized deferred tax calculations in fiscal 2016 first quarter. These transactions resulted in an adjustment of about $20 to thepurchase price allocation.The fair value of the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair valueacquired over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill recorded as part of the purchase priceallocation was $27,422 . None of this goodwill is tax deductible. Goodwill resulting from this business combination is largely attributable to the experiencedworkforce of the acquired business and synergies expected to arise after integration of Integra products and operations into Engineered Films. Identifiableintangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition included definite-lived intangibles for customer relationships and other intangibles valued at $10,000 and $200 ,respectively. These intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life as follows: customer relationships - twelveyears and other intangibles - two years. Liabilities assumed from Integra included a revolving line of credit and long-term notes with Wells Fargo Bank N.A.(Wells Fargo). The Company has a related party relationship with Wells Fargo described in Note 11 Financing Arrangements . This debt was repaid by theCompany in fiscal 2015 and there was no debt outstanding at January 31, 2015.The purchase price was finalized in the fiscal 2016 first quarter after the working capital adjustment was settled. The total purchase price allocated to the estimatedfair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:Cash $1,600Accounts receivable 4,808Inventory 7,575Deferred income taxes 543Other current assets 24Property, plant and equipment, net 17,088Goodwill 27,422Customer relationships and other definite-lived intangibles 10,200Short-term and long-term debt (11,341)Current liabilities (4,084)Other liabilities (5,573)Total purchase price $48,262Integra net sales and net loss recognized in fiscal 2015 from the acquisition date to January 31, 2015 were $5,627 and $(874) , respectively. The operations ofIntegra were fully integrated into Engineered Films’ existing operations at the beginning of fiscal year 2016. The Company does not manage such operations orreport these results separate and apart from the Engineered Films segment.SBGOn May 1, 2014 , the Company completed the purchase of all issued and outstanding shares of SBG Innovatie BV and its affiliate, Navtronics BVBA (collectively,SBG). SBG has operations in the Netherlands just outside of Amsterdam and at Navtronics in Geel, Belgium. The acquisition broadened Applied TechnologyDivision’s guided steering system product line by adding high-accuracy implement steering applications. Additionally, SBG’s headquarters have become the homeoffice for Raven in Europe, expanding the Company’s global presence and reach into key European markets.# 67(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) In connection with the purchase, the Company paid $5,000 and agreed to pay up to $2,500 in additional earn-out payments calculated using the undiscounted cashflows and paid quarterly over the next 10 years contingent upon achieving certain revenues. Projecting discounted future cash flows requires the Company to makesignificant estimates and assumptions regarding future revenues under the subject contingent agreement and the appropriate discount rate. Such valuationstechniques include one or more significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures). At January 31, 2016, the fair value of this contingent consideration was $1,499 of which $249 was classified as "Accrued liabilities" and $1,250 was classified as"Other liabilities". The fair value of this contingent consideration at January 31, 2015 was $1,432 , of which $236 was classified as "Accrued liabilities" and $1,196was classified as "Other liabilities." The Company has paid a total of $308 of this potential earn-out liability including $229 and $79 in earn-out payments duringfiscal 2016 and 2015 , respectively.The fair value of the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair valueacquired over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation was $3,250, none of which is tax deductible. Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition were $2,104 , and included definite-lived intangibles, such ascustomer relationships and proprietary technology. Amortization is being computed over the estimated useful life using the undiscounted cash flows method asfollows: twelve years for customer relationships and five years for proprietary technology. Liabilities acquired included debts to the former owners, a long-termnote with a third-party bank, and deferred income taxes. As further described in Note 11 Financing Arrangements, this debt was repaid by the Company and therewas no debt outstanding at January 31, 2015.SBG net sales and net income recognized in fiscal 2015 from the acquisition date to January 31, 2015 were $3,245 and $152 , respectively. The operations of SBGwere integrated into the existing operations of the Applied Technology Division at the beginning of fiscal year 2016.The following pro forma consolidated condensed financial results of operations are presented as if the fiscal year 2015 acquisitions described above had beencompleted at the beginning of the period presented (unaudited): (Unaudited) For the year ended January 31, 2015 2014Net sales $408,906 $431,917Net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc. 34,424 45,747 Earnings per common share: Basic $0.90 $1.20Diluted $0.90 $1.20These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as amortizationand acquisition cost. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had these businesscombinations occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities.Acquisition-related contingent considerationIn addition to the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of SBG, the Company has contingent liabilities related to prior year acquisitions. Related to theacquisition of Vista in 2012 , the Company is committed to make annual payments based upon earn-out percentages on specific revenue streams for seven yearsafter the purchase date, not to exceed $15,000 . Projecting discounted future cash flows requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptionsregarding future revenues under the subject contingent agreement and the appropriate discount rate. Such valuations techniques include one or more significantinputs that are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures).As a result of the triggering event that occurred in fiscal 2016 third quarter described in Note 7 Goodwill and Intangible Assets , the Company performed both aStep 1 and Step 2 impairment analysis for the Vista reporting unit. The results of these analyses are also more fully described in Note 7 Goodwill and IntangibleAssets . The Company evaluated the fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities including acquisition-related contingent consideration. This analysis includeda reduction of $2,273 in the fair value of this contingent consideration which was recognized in "Cost of sales" in the Consolidated Statements of Income andComprehensive Income for the three-month period ended October 31, 2015 and the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2016.# 68(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) The fair value of these contingent considerations at January 31, 2016 was $560 , of which $78 was classified in "Accrued liabilities" and $482 as "Other liabilities"in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At January 31, 2015 , the fair value of the contingent consideration for the Vista acquisition was $2,989 of which $ 554 wasclassified in "Accrued liabilities" and $2,435 as "Other liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At January 31, 2014 , the fair value of the contingentconsideration for the Vista acquisition was $3,347 , of which $890 was classified in “Accrued liabilities” and $2,457 as “Other liabilities” in the ConsolidatedBalance Sheet. These fair values were estimated using forecasted discounted cash flows. The Company has paid a total of $1,392 of this potential earn-out liabilityincluding $585 , $454 , and $353 in earn-out payments in fiscal year 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively.Equity Method Investment SSTThe Company’s owned interest of approximately 22% in SST is accounted for using the equity method. SST is a privately-held agricultural software developmentand information services provider. Raven and SST are strategically aligned to provide customers with simple, more efficient ways to move and manage data in theprecision agriculture market.Changes in the net carrying value of the investment in SST were as follows: As of January 31, 2016 2015 2014Balance at beginning of year $3,217 $3,684 $4,063Income from equity investment 83 28 116Amortization of intangible assets (495) (495) (495)Balance at end of year $2,805 $3,217 $3,684NOTE 7GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETSGoodwillFor goodwill, the Company performs impairment reviews by reporting unit which are determined to be Engineered Films Division, Applied Technology Divisions,and two separate reporting units in the Aerostar Division, one of which is Vista and one of which is all other Aerostar operations (Aerostar excluding Vista).The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit are shown below: AppliedTechnology EngineeredFilms Aerostar (exc.Vista) Vista (AsRestated) Total (As Restated)Balance at January 31, 2013 $9,892 $96 $789 $11,497 $22,274Balance at January 31, 2014 9,892 96 789 11,497 22,274Acquired goodwill 3,250 27,216 — — 30,466Foreign currency translation adjustment (592) — — — (592)Balance at January 31, 2015 12,550 27,312 789 11,497 52,148Purchase price adjustment to acquired goodwill (a) — 206 — — 206Goodwill disposed from sale of business (69) — — — (69)Goodwill impairment loss — — — (11,497) (11,497)Foreign currency translation adjustment (116) — — — (116)Balance at January 31, 2016 $12,365 $27,518 $789 $— $40,672(a) Working capital adjustment and final deferred tax adjustment for Integra acquisition (see Note 5 Acquisitions of and Investments in Businesses and Technologies).Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be an impairment. The annualimpairment tests were completed for each reporting unit in the fourth quarter based on a November 30th valuation date. No triggering events were deemed to haveoccurred in the fourth quarter and no impairments were recorded as a result of these tests. Two of the reporting units were also tested earlier in fiscal 2016 as aresult of triggering events that had occurred.# 69(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) In the fiscal 2016 second quarter the Company performed a Step 1 impairment analysis using fair value techniques on the Engineered Films reporting unit as aresult of changes in market conditions indicating that goodwill might be impaired. The reporting unit's fair value was estimated based on discounted cash flows andthat fair value amount was compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. In determining the estimated fair value of the Engineered films reporting unit, theCompany was required to make assumptions and estimate a number of factors, including projected revenue growth rate, operating profit margin percentage, capitalexpenditures, and the discount rate. This analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Engineered Films reporting unit exceeded the net book value byapproximately $50,000 .No significant changes were noted in the market conditions faced by Engineered Films in the fiscal 2016 third quarter and operating income for the year wasconsistent with expectations at the end of second quarter when the test was completed. Although oil prices continued to be lower and Engineered Films' sales weredown, the profitability of the division continued to be higher than the trailing months at the time of the impairment analysis given lower material costs incomparison to selling price. With actual cash flows largely in line with forecasted cash flows derived for the fiscal 2016 second quarter impairment analysis, theCompany concluded no triggering event occurred in the fiscal 2016 third quarter.Goodwill Impairment LossIn the fiscal 2016 third quarter the Company determined that a triggering event occurred for its Vista reporting unit, a subsidiary of the Aerostar division. Thetriggering event was caused by the lowering of financial expectations for sales and operating income of the reporting unit due to delays and uncertainties regardingthe reporting unit’s pursuit of large international opportunities. Despite the Company having a pre-authorization letter from the prime contractor and being innegotiations on a large international contract through the fiscal 2016 second quarter, the contract did not materialize in the fiscal 2016 third quarter as expected.Expectations were lowered as the timing and likelihood of completing certain international pursuits became less certain. In addition, the Company made a changein the executive leadership of the reporting unit during the third quarter. The Step 1 impairment analysis was completed using fair value techniques as of October31, 2015. In determining the estimated fair value of the Vista reporting unit, the Company was required to make assumptions and estimate a number of factors,including projected revenue growth rates (particularly those related to being successful in being awarded large, international contracts and the timing thereof),operating profit margin percentage, and the discount rate. On the basis of these estimates, the October 31, 2015 analysis indicated that the estimated fair value ofthe Vista reporting unit was less than the carrying value. The carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value by approximately $13,986 , or 63.6% .Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company performed a Step 2 impairment analysis. In the Step 2 impairment analysis, the fair value determinedwas allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Based on this Step 2 impairment analysis the resulting implied fair value of the Vista goodwill wasdetermined to have no value compared to the carrying value recorded for the reporting unit, $11,497 . In the fiscal 2016 third quarter $11,497 of an impairmentcharge to operating income was reported as "Goodwill impairment loss" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.Goodwill gross of accumulated impairment losses at January 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $52,169 , $52,148 , and $22,274 , respectively. Goodwill net ofaccumulated impairment losses at January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $40,672 , $52,148 , and $22,274 , respectively.Intangible AssetsLong-lived Intangibles Impairment LossPursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company determined that the relevant cash flows for long-lived asset testing (the lowest level of cash flowsthat are largely independent of other groups of assets) are one level below the Vista reporting unit. For Vista, these levels were determined to be an asset groupidentified for the client private business (CP), or government contracting, and a second group for radar products and services (Radar). While these groups havefinancial dependence on each other and enable the other to operate in their respective markets of focus, there is little strategic or business interdependence. The twogroups have few shared resources, assets or facilities, and long-lived assets are readily identifiable for each asset group. Based on the reassessment of the forecastsof cash flows and these asset groupings, the Company concluded that certain long-lived assets of the Vista reporting unit, including finite-lived intangible assets,were impaired as of October 31, 2015.Using the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with each of the two asset groups, a Step 1 test was performed for each asset group. The undiscountedcash flows for the CP asset group exceeded the carrying value of the long-lived assets and no Step 2 test was deemed to be necessary based on the recoverability ofthe long-lived assets. For the Radar asset group, however, the undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying value of the long-lived assets and the Companyperformed a Step 2 impairment analysis for the long-lived assets.In the Step 2 impairment analysis, the fair value determined was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Radar asset group. The resulting implied fair value ofthe Radar asset group long-lived assets was $103 compared to the carrying value of $3,916 for the asset group. The shortfall of $3,813 was recorded in the thirdquarter of fiscal 2016 as an impairment charge to operating# 70(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) income reported as "Long-lived asset impairment loss" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Of the total long-lived assetimpairment of $3,813 , $3,154 was related to amortizable intangible assets related to radar technology and radar customers, $554 was related to property, plant, andequipment, and $105 was related to patents. In addition, expenditures of $13 for additional patents related to the Radar asset group in the fiscal 2016 fourth quarterwere also considered to have been impaired. The carrying value was fully impaired in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.There were no long-lived asset impairment losses reported in fiscal year 2015 or 2014.The following table provides the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014 Accumulated Accumulated Accumulated Amount (AsRestated)Amortization (AsRestated)Net (As Restated) AmountAmortizationNet AmountAmortizationNetExisting technology $7,144$(6,265)$879 $8,870$(5,239)$3,631 $7,840$(4,164)$3,676Customer relationships 12,628(2,641)9,987 14,128(1,271)12,857 3,494(525)2,969Other intangibles 3,967(1,877)2,090 3,657(1,655)2,002 2,891(1,380)1,511Total $23,739$(10,783)$12,956 $26,655$(8,165)$18,490 $14,225$(6,069)$8,156The estimated future amortization expense for these definite-lived intangible assets, as well as definite-lived intangible assets held by SST, during the next fiveyears is as follows: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021Estimated amortization expense (As Restated) $2,081 $1,819 $1,704 $1,456 $1,060NOTE 8EMPLOYEE POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITSThe Company has two 401(k) plans covering substantially all employees as of January 31, 2016 . One plan, which covers the majority of employees, matchesemployee contributions up to 4% . Under this plan all account balances and future contributions and related earnings can be invested in several investmentalternatives as well as the Company's common stock in accordance with each participant's elections. Participants' contributions to the 401(k) and the employermatching contributions are limited to 20% investment in the Company's common stock. Participants may choose to make separate investment choices for currentaccount balances and for future contributions. Officers of the Company may not include Raven's common stock in their 401(k) plan elections.The other 401(k) plan was assumed as part of the Vista acquisition. Employee contributions under this plan are matched up to 4% under an amendment in fiscal2015 to eliminate a 3% annual contribution and to eliminate a provision allowing an additional annual discretionary contribution. The Company also assumed anadditional 401(k) profit sharing plan as part of the Integra acquisition. This plan was merged into Raven's 401(k) plan on December 31, 2014. The Company alsocontributes to post-retirement and pensions as are required or customary for employees in foreign locations. Total contribution expense to all such plans was$1,952 , $2,416 , and $2,412 for fiscal 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively.# 71(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) In addition, the Company provides postretirement medical and other benefits to senior executive officers and senior managers. These plan obligations areunfunded. On August 25, 2015 the Company amended the employment agreements with five of its senior executive officers eliminating the postretirement medicalbenefits to these individuals and their spouses. In consideration of eliminating this retiree benefit, the senior executive officers received lump sum payments inamounts ranging from $8 to $15 based on each officer’s years of service to the Company. The Company’s current senior executive officers that either alreadyqualified for retirement or had twenty or more years of service to the Company are still eligible for benefits under their employment agreements. The eliminationof coverage for these executives reduced the benefit obligation due to prior service by approximately$1,000 as of August 31, 2015. The amount was recognized as a negative plan amendment and amortized over the average remaining years of service to fulleligibility for active participants not yet fully eligible for benefits as of August 31, 2015. The accumulated benefit obligation, including the impact of the August31, 2015 remeasurement resulting from the plan amendment, for these benefits is as follows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Benefit obligation at beginning of year $12,125 $8,254 $8,307Service cost 285 195 202Interest cost 386 366 348Amendments (958) — —Actuarial (gain) loss and assumption changes (3,544) 3,543 (340)Retiree benefits paid (303) (233) (263)Benefit obligation at end of year $7,991 $12,125 $8,254The following tables set forth the plan's pre-tax adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income/loss: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Amounts not yet recognized in net periodic benefit cost: Net actuarial loss $2,504 $6,309 $2,918Prior service cost (892) — —Total pre-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss $1,612 $6,309 $2,918 Pre-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss - beginning of year related to benefit obligation $6,309 $2,918 $3,441Reclassification adjustments recognized in benefit cost: Recognized net (loss) (261) (152) (183)Amortization of prior service cost 66 — —Amounts recognized in AOCI during the year: Prior service cost from amendments (958) — —Net actuarial (gain) loss (3,544) 3,543 (340)Pre-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss - end of year related to benefit obligation $1,612 $6,309 $2,918The net actuarial gain for fiscal year 2016 was the result of an increase in the discount rate, lower than expected claims, updated trend rates, and application ofupdated mortality assumptions. The net actuarial loss for fiscal year 2015 was the result of a decrease in the discount rate and application of updated mortalityassumptions. The net actuarial gain in fiscal year 2014 was driven by an increase in the discount rate.# 72(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) The liability and net periodic benefit cost reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income were asfollows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Beginning liability balance $12,125 $8,254 $8,307Net periodic benefit cost 866 713 733Other comprehensive (income) loss (4,697) 3,391 (523)Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income (3,831) 4,104 210Retiree benefits paid (303) (233) (263)Ending liability balance $7,991 $12,125 $8,254 Current portion in accrued liabilities $329 $313 $255Long-term portion in other liabilities $7,662 $11,812 $7,999 Assumptions used to calculate benefit obligation: Discount rate 4.25% 3.50% 4.50%Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.00% 4.00%Health care cost trend rates: Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 6.83% (a) | 7.00% (b) 7.20% 7.70%Ultimate health care cost trend rate 4.50% (a) | 5 .00% (b) 5.00% 5.00%Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2030 (a) | 2025 (b) 2025 2025Assumptions used to calculated the net periodic benefit cost: Discount rate 4.25% (a) | 3.50% (b) 4.50% 4.25%Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% (a) Assumptions used for the five months of fiscal 2016 following the August 31, 2015 remeasurement.(b) Assumptions used for the seven months of fiscal 2016 prior to the plan amendment triggering the August 31, 2015 remeasurement.The discount rate is based on matching rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments with the timing and amount of expected benefit payments. Nomaterial fluctuations in retiree benefit payments are expected in future years. The total estimated cost to be recognized from AOCI into net periodic benefit costover the next fiscal year is $(13) ; $146 of recognized net loss and$(159) of amortized prior service cost.The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported.

The qualified production deduction isbased on estimated taxable income. Tax deductible goodwill and long-lived asset impairments of $14,756 in fiscal 2016 resulted in a deferred tax benefit forfinancial reporting purposes and a higher estimated taxable income due to the longer period of tax amortization. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2015 was impacted favorably by recognition of a $776 research and development tax credit based upon a tax study undertaken forfiscal years 2011 through 2014. The Company also recorded a $963 discrete tax benefit in fiscal 2015 after reaching a favorable tax settlement with a state taxauthority on a previously recorded uncertain tax position.Significant components of the Company's income tax (benefit) provision were as follows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 (AsRestated) 2015 2014Income taxes: Currently payable $5,272 $12,663 $20,098Deferred (benefit) expense (6,039) (958) 623 $(767) $11,705 $20,721# 74(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Deferred Tax AssetsDeferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes andthe amounts used for income tax purposes.

In the same period, Engineered Films implemented a preemptive restructuring plan to address the decline in demand in the energy sector as the result offalling oil prices. In addition to reducing its international sales infrastructure, scaling back marketing initiatives, lowering general manufacturing overhead, andfocusing R&D spending on core product lines, the Company initiated the exit of Applied Technology’s non-strategic St. Louis, Missouri contract manufacturingfacility.As a result of these actions, the Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $399 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. Such costs wereprincipally severance benefits which were $308 for Applied Technology and $91 for Engineered Films. The Company reported $250 of this expense in "Cost ofsales" and $149 in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Approximately $344 ofthese restructuring costs were paid in fiscal 2015 and $55 were paid in fiscal 2016.Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2015, the Company announced that Applied Technology's remaining contract manufacturing operations in the St. Louis, Missouriarea had been successfully sold and transferred. The exit activities related to this sale and transfer were substantially completed during the fiscal 2016 first quarter.Gains of $611 were recorded in fiscal 2016 as a result of the exit activity. Receivables for inventory and estimated future royalties pursuant to the sale agreementswere $255 and are reflected in "Other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 31, 2016 .With continued weak end-market demand in the Engineered Films and Applied Technology divisions, on March 10, 2015 the Company announced andimplemented an additional restructuring plan to further lower its cost structure. The cost reductions covered all divisions and included the corporate offices, butwere weighted to Applied Technology as a result of the decline in this business and the expectation of continued end-market weakness for this division.As a result of this action, the Company incurred restructuring costs for severance benefits of $588 for the year ended January 31, 2016 . The Company reported$407 of restructuring expense in "Cost of sales" and $181 in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income andComprehensive Income for fiscal 2016. Substantially all of these restructuring costs related to Applied Technology. This restructuring plan was completed duringthe fiscal 2016 second quarter.In October 2015 , the Company's Aerostar Division implemented a restructuring plan at Vista due to reduced demand expectations primarily related to delays anduncertainty surrounding international pursuits. The lower cost structure will help to preserve the Company's capabilities to pursue domestic and internationalopportunities for Vista's radar products and technology.Restructuring costs for severance benefits were $73 for the year ended January 31, 2016 . The Company reported $58 of this expense in "Cost of sales" and $15 in"Research and development expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. This restructuring plan was completed during fiscal2016 fourth quarter and there were no unpaid costs at January 31, 2016 .# 77(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) NOTE 14SHARE-BASED COMPENSATIONAt January 31, 2016 , the Company had two shareholder approved share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost and relatedincome tax benefit for these plans were as follows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Share-based compensation cost $2,311 $4,213 $4,198Tax benefit 819 1,504 1,460Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory is not significant.Equity Compensation PlansThe Company reserved shares of its common stock for issuance to directors, officers, employees, and certain advisors of the Company through incentive stockoptions and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance awards to begranted under the Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) which was approved by shareholders on May 22, 2012 . The aggregate number ofshares initially available for which options may be granted under the Plan was 2,000,000 . As of January 31, 2016 , the number of shares available for grant underthe Plan was 1,293,876 . Option exercises under the Plan are settled in newly issued common shares.The Plan is administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee), consisting of two or more independentdirectors of the Company. Subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan, all of the members of the Committee shall be non-employee members of the Board ofDirectors. The Committee determines the option exercise prices and the term of each grant. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of awards under thePlan or extend the term of such awards to the extent allowed by the Plan to a maximum term of ten years. Two types of awards were granted under the Plan infiscal 2015, stock options and restricted stock units.Stock Option AwardsThe Company granted 289,600 non-qualified stock options during fiscal 2016 . Options are granted with exercise prices not less than the market value of theCompany's common stock at the date of grant. The stock options vest over a four -year period and expire after five years. Options contain retirement and change-in-control provisions that may accelerate the vesting period. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes optionpricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises, employee terminations, and volatility within this valuation model.The weighted average assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model by grant year are as follows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Risk-free interest rate 1.33% 1.32% 0.59%Expected dividend yield 2.59% 1.53% 1.46%Expected volatility factor 36.81% 38.65% 41.39%Expected option term (in years) 3.75 4.00 3.75 Weighted average grant date fair value $4.77 $9.18 $9.34# 78(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Outstanding stock options as of January 31, 2016 and activity for the year then ended are presented below: Number of options Weighted averageexercise price Aggregate intrinsicvalue Weighted average remaining contractual term (years)Outstanding, January 31, 2015 1,015,275 $29.04 Granted 289,600 20.09 Exercised (50,000) 15.49 Forfeited (72,400) 27.42 Expired (256,525) 24.18 Outstanding, January 31, 2016 925,950 $28.44 $— 2.48 Outstanding exercisable, January 31, 2016 453,425 $31.30 $— 1.48The intrinsic value of a stock award is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the award. The total intrinsic valueof options exercised was $172 , $1,467 , and $3,019 during the years ended January 31, 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively. As of January 31, 2016 , the totalunrecognized compensation cost for non-vested awards was $2,089 , net of the effect of estimated forfeitures. This amount is expected to be recognized over aweighted average period of 2.23 years.Restricted Stock Unit AwardsThe Company granted 39,025 time-vested RSUs to employees during the year ended January 31, 2016 . The fair value of a time-vested RSU is measured basedupon the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Time-vested RSUs will vest if, at the end of the three -year period, theemployee remains employed by the Company. RSUs contain retirement and change-in-control provisions that may accelerate the vesting period. Dividends arecumulatively earned on the time-vested RSUs over the vesting period.Activity for time-vested RSUs under the Plan in fiscal 2016 was as follows: Number of restricted stockunits Weighted average grant datefair valueOutstanding, January 31, 2015 68,137 $31.27Granted 39,025 19.25Vested (18,526) 31.66Forfeited (6,710) 29.97Outstanding, January 31, 2016 81,926 $25.53 Cumulative dividends, January 31, 2016 3,107 The Company also granted performance-based RSUs during the year ended January 31, 2016 . The exact number of performance shares to be issued will vary from0% to 150% of the target award, depending on the Company's actual performance over the three -year period in comparison to the target award. The target awardfor the fiscal 2015 and 2016 grants are based on return on equity (ROE), which is defined as net income divided by the average of beginning and endingshareholders' equity for the fiscal year. The target award for the fiscal 2014 grant is based on return on sales (ROS), which is defined as net income divided by netsales. The performance-based RSUs will vest if, at the end of the three -year performance period, the Company has achieved certain performance goals and theemployee remains employed by the Company. Performance-based RSUs contain retirement and change-in-control provisions that may accelerate the vestingperiod. Dividends are cumulatively earned on performance-based RSUs over the vesting period.The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units is based upon the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Thenumber of restricted stock units granted is based on 100% of the target award. The number of RSUs that will vest is determined by the estimated ROE or ROStarget over the three -year performance period. The estimated performance factor used to estimate the number of restricted stock units expected to vest is evaluatedquarterly. The number of restricted stock units issued at the vesting date will be based on actual results.# 79(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Activity for performance-based RSUs under the Plan in fiscal 2016 was as follows: Number of restricted stockunits expected tovest Weighted average grant datefair valueOutstanding, January 31, 2015 152,439 $32.40Granted 68,570 20.09Vested (52,502) 31.66Forfeited (17,783) 28.27Performance-based adjustment (84,656) 29.02Outstanding, January 31, 2016 66,068 $25.65 Cumulative dividends, January 31, 2016 7,557 As of January 31, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost for nonvested RSU awards was $576 net of the effect for estimated forfeitures. This amount isexpected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.01 years.Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for DirectorsThe Company reserved 100,000 shares of its common stock for issuance to certain members of its Board of Directors under the Deferred Stock Compensation Planfor Directors of Raven Industries, Inc. (the Director Plan). The Director Plan is administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board ofDirectors. Under the Director Plan, any non-employee director receives a grant of a number of stock units as deferred compensation to be converted into commonstock after retirement from the Board of Directors and may elect to have a specified percentage of their annual retainer converted to stock units. Under the DirectorPlan, a stock unit is the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock as deferred compensation, to be distributed from an account established by theCompany in the name of the non-employee director. Stock units have the same value as a share of common stock but cannot be sold. Stock units are a componentof the Company's equity.Stock units granted under the Director Plan vest immediately and are expensed at the date of grant. When dividends are paid on the Company's common shares,stock units are added to the directors' balances and a corresponding amount is removed from retained earnings. The intrinsic value of a stock unit is the fair valueof the underlying shares.Outstanding stock units as of January 31, 2016 and changes during the year then ended are presented below: Number of stock units Weighted average priceOutstanding, January 31, 2015 69,347 $21.44Granted 18,721 19.23Deferred retainers 3,120 19.23Dividends 2,546 17.67Outstanding, January 31, 2016 93,734 $20.82NOTE 15NET INCOME PER SHAREBasic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and stock units outstanding. Diluted net income per shareis computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding which includes the shares issuable upon exerciseof employee stock options (net of shares assumed purchased with the option proceeds), stock units, and restricted stock units outstanding. Performance shareawards are included in the diluted calculation based upon what would be issued if the end of the most recent reporting period was the end of the term of the award.Certain outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net income per-share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.# 80(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) The options and restricted stock units excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation were as follows: For the years ended January 31, 2016 2015 2014Anti-dilutive options and restricted stock units 1,107,733 781,988 577,213The computation of earnings per share is presented below: For the years ended January 31, 2016 (As Restated) 2015 2014Numerator: Net income attributable to Raven Industries, Inc. $4,776 $31,733 $42,903 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding 37,237,717 36,859,026 36,379,356Weighted average stock units outstanding 86,745 69,484 67,724Denominator for basic calculation 37,324,462 36,928,510 36,447,080 Weighted average common shares outstanding 37,237,717 36,859,026 36,379,356Weighted average stock units outstanding 86,745 69,484 67,724Dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs 75,481 174,784 198,295Denominator for diluted calculation 37,399,943 37,103,294 36,645,375 Net income per share - basic $0.13 $0.86 $1.18Net income per share - diluted $0.13 $0.86 $1.17NOTE 16BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATIONThe Company's reportable segments are defined by their product lines which have been grouped based on common technologies, production methods, andinventories. The Company's reportable segments are Applied Technology Division, Engineered Films Division, and Aerostar Division. Raven Canada, SBG, RavenGmbH, Raven Australia, and Raven Brazil are included in the Applied Technology Division. Vista and AIS are included in the Aerostar Division. Substantially allof the Company's long-lived assets are located in the United States.Applied Technology designs, manufactures, sells, and services innovative precision agriculture products and information management tools that help growersreduce costs, save time, and improve farm yields around the world. Their product families include field computers, application controls, GPS-guidance andassisted-steering systems, automatic boom controls, yield monitoring and planter and seeder controls, harvest controls, and an integrated real-time kinematic(RTK) and information platform called Slingshot™. Applied Technology services include high-speed, in-field internet connectivity and cloud-based datamanagement.The Company's Engineered Films Division manufactures high-performance plastic films and sheeting for major markets throughout the United States and abroad.An important part of this business is highly technical, engineered geomembrane films that protect environmental resources through containment linings andcoverings for energy, agriculture, construction, and industrial markets.Aerostar designs and manufactures proprietary products including high-altitude balloons, tethered aerostats, and radar processing systems. These products can beintegrated with additional third-party sensors to provide research, communications, and situational awareness to government and commercial customers.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) underthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information requiredto be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified inthe SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file orsubmit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure. In connection with filing of the Original Form 10-K on March 29, 2016 our CEO and our CFO concluded that, as of the end of theperiod covered by the report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the Original Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2016, our CEO and our CFO re-evaluated the effectiveness ofthe design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls andprocedures were not effective as of January 31, 2016 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in "Management’sReport on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" appearing in Part II. Item 8.Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8,management has concluded that the restated consolidated financial statements included in this Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K presentfairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position,# 84 results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingManagement's report and the report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm are included in Part II, Item 8. captioned "Management'sReport on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated)" and "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" and are incorporated herein byreference.Management’s Remediation InitiativesThe Company is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the underlying causes of the control deficiencies thatgave rise to the material weaknesses. These remediation efforts, summarized below, which are in the process of being implemented, are intended to address theidentified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall financial reporting control environment.With the oversight of the Company’s Audit Committee, management is taking steps intended to address the underlying causes of the material weaknessesidentified in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing in Part II, Item 8, primarily through the following remediationactivities:•Controls relating to the response to the risks of material misstatement◦We have engaged third-party accounting resources to help management plan for remediation of the identified material weaknesses and evaluateand enhance our risk assessment in our internal controls over financial reporting.◦We are establishing an internal audit function and hiring additional accounting and internal audit staff to improve the management of risks to theenterprise.◦We have begun adding or redesigning specific controls and procedures to proactively address opportunities to augment and enhance controlsidentified through this assessment.•Controls over accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets◦We have begun redesigning our specific procedures and controls associated with the identification of the proper unit of account as well as thedevelopment and review of assumptions used in interim and annual impairment tests.◦We are developing an enhanced risk assessment evaluation for the reporting unit for which a goodwill impairment analysis is being conducted.◦We are redesigning our controls associated with the development of a bottom-up forecast revenue analysis that supports management’s revenueestimates in interim and annual impairment tests. For Vista, this includes contract-based revenue assumptions.◦We are redesigning our controls associated with all significant assumptions, model and data used in management's estimates relevant toassessing the valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.◦We have engaged third-party valuation experts to evaluate and enhance the processes and procedures we are establishing or enhancing.•Controls over accounting for income taxes◦We have begun adding or redesigning specific processes and controls to augment the review of significant or unusual transactions by financeleadership to ensure that the relevant tax accounting implications are identified and considered.◦We have engaged third-party tax accounting resources to assist in review and analysis of tax matters associated with significant or unusualtransactions.◦Our new Director of Taxation has begun re-evaluating our tax models and designing and implementing multiple reconciliations to ensure theCompany’s tax provision is properly reconciled and rolled-forward.•Controls over the existence of inventories, specifically controls to monitor that inventory subject to the cycle count program was counted at the frequencylevels and accuracy rates required under the Company’s policy, and the controls to verify existence of inventory held at third-party locations◦We have begun redesigning and enhancing our cycle count procedure to monitor the completeness and accuracy of cycle count results andestablish specific accountability for investigation and analysis of variances.# 85 ◦We have begun redesigning and enhancing controls, including those over the completeness and accuracy of underlying information, to monitorcount dates for each item by location. This will be reviewed annually to ensure that each item was counted the appropriate number of times inaccordance with the cycle count policy.◦We are redesigning and implementing enhanced controls including those over the completeness and accuracy of underlying information tocalculate and monitor the historical 12 month rolling accuracy of cycle counts.◦We are going to complete a full physical inventory count annually for locations subject to the cycle count program until the completeness andaccuracy of the cycle count program has been validated. Also inventory held at third-party locations will be subject to physical inventory countseach quarter until we have completed the transfer of the vast majority of inventory held at third-party locations to Company owned facilities.•Controls over the completeness and accuracy of spreadsheets and system-generated reports used in internal control over financial reporting◦We have begun designing a new control or controls for the identification and assessment of the completeness and accuracy of spreadsheets andsystem-generated reports, used within the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.◦We have begun adding or redesigning controls to require both an evaluation and evidence of that evaluation of the completeness and accuracy ofall spreadsheets and system-generated reports used in internal controls over financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statementsand related footnote disclosures.◦We will maintain evidence of a baseline evaluation of completeness and accuracy for every system-generated report determined to be a keyreport for which it is possible to maintain a baseline test.◦We will periodically re-baseline system-generated reports whether they are changed or not in accordance with our redesigned procedures andcontrols over financial reporting.◦We will establish a process for evaluating and documenting the completeness and accuracy of all other spreadsheets and system-generatedreports that cannot be baselined, including spreadsheets prepared or reviewed by management.Although we have begun implementing remediation actions, we have not yet been able to complete remediation of these material weaknesses. These actions aresubject to ongoing review by management, as well as oversight by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Although we plan to complete this remediationprocess as diligently as possible, we cannot, at this time, estimate when such remediation may occur, and our initiatives may not prove successful in remediatingthe material weaknesses. Management may determine to enhance other existing controls and/or implement additional controls as the implementation progresses. Itwill take time to determine whether the additional controls we are implementing will be sufficient and functioning as designed to accomplish their intendedpurpose; accordingly, these material weaknesses may continue for a period of time. While the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and executivemanagement are closely monitoring this implementation, until the remediation efforts discussed herein, including any additional remediation efforts thatmanagement identifies as necessary, are complete, tested, and determined to be effective, we will not be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have beenremediated. In addition, we may need to incur incremental costs associated with this remediation, primarily due to the engagement of external accounting and taxexperts to validate and support remediation activities and the implementation and validation of improved accounting and financial reporting procedures.We are committed to improving our internal control over financial reporting and processes and intend to proactively review and improve our financial reportingcontrols and procedures incorporating best practices and leveraging external resources to facilitate periodic evaluations of our internal controls over financialreporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address controldeficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred duringthe quarter ended January 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financialreporting.Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and ProceduresManagement does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or potentialfraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurancethat its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that allcontrol issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.# 86ITEM 9B.OTHER INFORMATIONNot applicable.PART III ITEMS 10, 11,12, 13 and 14.DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE; EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION;SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATEDSHAREHOLDER MATTERS; CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTORINDEPENDENCE; AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICESThe Company will file a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934 (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company's 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
