NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A--Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2017. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Among other things, ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet, which will increase reported assets and liabilities. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 supersedes “Topic 840 - Leases.” ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shares-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. ASU 2016-09 changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) accounting for income taxes; (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements; and (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years for public companies. The Company early adopted this standard as of May 1, 2016. As a result, during the first quarter it recognized the excess tax benefit of $0.9 million as income tax expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income (adopted prospectively). The adoption did not impact the existing classification of the awards. Excess tax benefits from stock based compensation is now classified in net income in the statement of cash flows instead of being separately stated in financing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2016 (adopted prospectively). Additionally, the Company reclassified $2.6 million of employee withholding taxes paid from operating activities into financing activities in the statement of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2015, as required by ASU 2016-09 (adopted retrospectively). The adoption of the standard resulted in an increase of $0.06 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended July 31, 2016. Following the adoption of the new standard, the Company elected to continue estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjust its estimate on an ongoing basis.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The Company retrospectively adopted this standard on April 30, 2016, which resulted in the reclassification of approximately $0.3 million of debt issuance costs from other assets to long-term debt as of April 30, 2016. Adoption of the new guidance did not impact the Company's shareholder's equity, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

Note C--Net Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2016		2015
Numerator used in basic and diluted net earnings
per common share:
Net income	$	21,661	$	15,158
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net earnings per common

conversions	16,381		16,421
Net earnings per share
Basic	$	1.33	$	0.94
Diluted	$	1.32	$	0.92

The Company repurchased a total of 72,400 and 30,555 shares of its common stock during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, which were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share.

Note D--Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the three-months ended July 31, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs to key employees. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled 36,058 units and the employee service-based RSUs totaled 19,442 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date.

For the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:



	Three Months Ended July 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015
Cost of sales and distribution	$	154	$	158
Selling and marketing expenses	257		280
General and administrative expenses	435		525
Stock-based compensation expense	$	846	$	963

During the three months ended July 31, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved grants of 5,136 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and 2,804 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the

recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date. Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The Company recognized expense of $51 thousand and $281 thousand for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to RSTUs. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $745 thousand and $1.2 million as of July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, respectively.

Note E--Customer Receivables

The components of customer receivables were:

Gross customer receivables	$	60,500		$	58,593

Reserve to adjust inventories to LIFO value	(14,204		)	(14,204		)

Total LIFO inventories	$	39,954		$	39,319

Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since these items are estimated, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note G--Product Warranty

The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet:



	Three Months Ended

Note I--Pension Benefits

Effective April 30, 2012, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the Company’s hourly and salary defined-benefit pension plans.

Net periodic pension (benefit) cost consisted of the following for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015:



	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands)	2016			2015
Interest cost	$	1,443		$	1,754
Expected return on plan assets	(2,020		)	(2,036		)
Recognized net actuarial loss	443			353

Net periodic pension (benefit) cost	$	(134	)	$	71

The Company expects to contribute $27.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2017, which represents both required and discretionary funding. On August 25, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved up to $20 million of discretionary funding which is included in the total expected contributions for the year. As of July 31, 2016, $1.0 million of contributions had been made. The Company made contributions of $5.0 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2016.

Note J--Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:

Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.

Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):



	Fair Value Measurements

Note K--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2016, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2016 was 0.6 to 1.0; and (2) the Company's ratio of cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 4.3 to 1.0.

Note L--Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three month period ended July 31, 2016 was 32.2%, compared with 36.1% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2017 was favorably impacted by a $0.9 million tax benefit related to the early adoption of ASU 2016-09, the new accounting guidance relating to stock-based compensation, an adjustment to the pension deferred tax asset balance, and more favorable permanent tax differences.

Note M--Other Information

The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is

determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with independent counsel.

The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims that were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of July 31, 2016.

Overview

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manufacturers, and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. At July 31, 2016, the Company operated 9 manufacturing facilities and 7 service centers across the country.

The three-month period ended July 31, 2016 was the Company’s first quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 2017 (“fiscal 2017”). During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company continued to experience improving market conditions from the housing market downturn that began in 2007.

The Company’s remodeling-based business was impacted by the following trends during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2017:


•	Residential investment as a percentage of gross domestic product as tracked by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the second calendar quarter of 2016 improved to 3.6% from 3.2% for the same period in the prior year;


•	The median price per existing home sold improved from the same period one year ago by 4.9% according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, and existing home sales rose 4.2% during the second calendar quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year;


•	The unemployment rate improved to 4.9% as of July 2016 compared to 5.3% as of July 2015 according to data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor;


•	Mortgage interest rates remained low with a thirty-year fixed mortgage rate of approximately 3.44% in July 2016, a decrease of approximately 61 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year; and


•	Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan declined from 93.1 in July 2015 to 90.0 in July 2016.

The Company believes there is no single indicator that directly correlates with cabinet remodeling market activity. For this reason, the Company considers other factors in addition to those discussed above as indicators of overall market activity including credit availability, housing affordability and sales reported by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (“KCMA”), a trade organization which issues the aggregate sales that have been reported by its members including the largest cabinet manufacturers in the United States. Based on the totality of factors listed above, the Company believes that the cabinet remodeling market increased in the mid single digits during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company’s largest remodeling customers and competitors continued to utilize sales promotions in the Company’s product category to boost sales. These promotions consisted of free products and/or cash discounts to consumers based upon the amount or type of cabinets they purchased. The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive. The Company experienced promotional levels during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 that were higher than those experienced in the same period of the prior year but were lower than market activity.

The Company’s remodeling sales increased 3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the same prior-year period. Our Waypoint brand, which serves the dealer channel, represented approximately 10% of our overall sales and grew by approximately 13% during the first quarter when compared to the comparable prior-year period. Management believes that the Company has improved market share within the dealer channel while it has lost some share within big box retailers. The Company believes the share loss within the big box retailers is due to competitive promotional activity.

Regarding new construction markets, the Company believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of cabinet activity. Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose by approximately 9% during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2017 over the comparable prior year period.

Sales in the new construction channel increased by 19% in the first quarter when compared with the same period of fiscal 2016. The Company believes it continued to over index the market due to share penetration with our builder partners and the health of the markets where we concentrate our business.

The Company’s total net sales rose by 12% during the first quarter which management believes was driven primarily by a rise in the overall market activity.

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $30.4 million, down from $32.6 million at April 30, 2016. The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, after considering all positive and negative evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for certain state investment tax credit (“ITC”) carryforwards. These credits expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2020. The Company believes based on positive evidence of the housing industry improvement along with four consecutive years of profitability that the Company will more likely than not realize all other remaining deferred tax assets.

The Company earned net income of $21.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with $15.2 million in the first quarter of its prior fiscal year.

Results of Operations



	Three Months Ended
	July 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		Percent Change

Net sales	$	258,150	$	231,198	12	%
Gross profit	59,317		50,173		18
Selling and marketing expenses	16,463		15,719		5
General and administrative expenses	10,932		10,731		2

Net Sales. For the first three months of fiscal 2017, net sales were $258.2 million, reflecting a 12% increase compared with the same period of fiscal 2016. Overall unit volume for the three-month period ended July 31, 2016 improved by 10% while average revenue per unit increased 1% during the three-month period ended July 31, 2016, driven by improvements in the Company’s sales mix.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was 23.0%, compared with 21.7% for the same period of fiscal 2016. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was favorably impacted by higher sales volume, product mix, lower labor benefit cost, and improved operating efficiency as we generated favorable leverage on our fixed and semi-fixed overhead costs due to additional volume.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were 6.4% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with 6.8% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2016. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first three months of fiscal 2017 is due to favorable leverage through expense management and lower display costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were 4.2% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with 4.6% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is due to favorable leverage from increased sales and ongoing expense control.

Effective Income Tax Rates. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended July 31, 2016 was 32.2%, compared with 36.1% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2017 was favorably impacted by a $0.9 million tax benefit related to the early adoption of ASU 2016-09, the new accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation, an adjustment to the pension deferred tax asset balance, and more favorable permanent tax difference.

Outlook. The Company believes that the average price of existing home sales will continue to increase driven by growth in both employment and growth in new household formation. In this environment, the Company expects the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2017 but overall activity will continue to be below historical averages. Within the cabinet remodeling market, the Company expects independent dealers to outperform other channels of distribution primarily due to their more affluent customer base. As a result, the Company expects its remodeling sales for the remainder of fiscal 2017 to exceed the market rate. The Company expects to regain its market share in the home center channel with a competitive promotional strategy that restores market parity and to increase share in the dealer channel.

The Company expects that single-family housing starts and in turn, new construction cabinet sales, will grow approximately 10% during the remainder of its fiscal year 2017, and that the Company’s new construction sales growth will continue to exceed this level for the remainder of its current fiscal year, but by a lesser rate than fiscal 2016, as comparable prior year sales levels become more challenging.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $162.6 million at July 31, 2016, representing an $11.9 million decrease from its April 30, 2016 levels. At July 31, 2016, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $24.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million from its balance at April 30, 2016. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 7.0% at July 31, 2016, compared with 7.3% at April 30, 2016.

The Company’s main sources of liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can borrow up to $35 million under its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo). At July 31, 2016, $10 million of loans and $4.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the facility, and the Company had additional borrowing base availability of $25.0 million.

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must: (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2016, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2016 was 0.6 to 1.0; and (2) cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 4.3 to 1.0.

The revolving credit facility does not limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase its common shares as long as the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2017 was $32.9 million, compared with $17.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2016. The increase in cash generated by operating activities was driven primarily by higher operating profitability and lower increases in customer receivables.

The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of purchase and maturities of certificates of deposit, investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays. Net cash used for investing activities was $40.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2017, compared with $15.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2016. The increase in cash used was driven by a $32.8 million increase in investment in certificates of deposit, offset by a $6.9 million decrease in outflows for investment in property, plant and equipment.

During the first three months of fiscal 2017, net cash used by financing activities was $4.3 million, compared with net cash provided of $1.1 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was driven by the Company’s receipt of $2.0 million during the current fiscal year from employees’ exercise of stock options compared to $3.6 million in the same period of the prior year, as well as stock repurchases of $5.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year.

On November 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized repurchases of up to $25 million of the Company's common shares. On November 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 20, 2014. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. At July 31, 2016, $23.3 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’s common shares. The Company purchased a total of 72,400 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million, during the first three months of fiscal 2017, under the authorizations. The Company continues to evaluate its cash on hand and prospects for future cash generation, and compare these against its plans for future capital expenditures. Although the evaluation of its future capital expenditures is ongoing, the Company expects that it will make repurchases of its common shares from time to time during the remainder of the fiscal year, subject to the Company’s financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations and any

other factors then deemed relevant. See Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" for further information on share repurchases.

On August 25, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved up to $20 million of discretionary funding to reduce its defined benefit pension liabilities.

Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2017.

Seasonal and Inflationary Factors

The Company’s business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal quarters.

The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Since the end of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, the Company has had no material exposure to changes in interest rates for its debt agreements.

The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks. See “Seasonal and Inflationary Factors” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information regarding the effects inflation and commodity price fluctuations have on the costs of the Company’s products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various suits and claims in the normal course of business all of which constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business. The Company is not party to any material litigation that does not constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 and there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed.

(1) On November 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company's common shares. On November 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 20, 2014. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company's revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company repurchased 72,400 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million, under the authorization, pursuant to a repurchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At July 31, 2016, $23.3 million remained authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase the Company's common shares.

SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the fourth Thursday in August of each year beginning at 9:00 a.m., or at such other time on such other date in each year as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time.

At each annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as is proper to consider and has been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of a class of shares entitled to vote on the business such shareholder is proposing and who is such a shareholder of record, both at the time of the giving of the shareholder’s notice hereinafter described in this Section and on the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.

In order to bring before an annual meeting of shareholders any business which may properly be considered and which a shareholder has not sought to have included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the meeting, a shareholder who meets the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph must give the Corporation timely written notice. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be given, either by personal delivery to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation or by first class United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation. Any such notice must be received (i) not less than 120 days before the one-year anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, if clause (ii) is not applicable, or (ii) not less than 90 days before the date of the meeting if the date of such meeting, as prescribed in these Bylaws, has been changed by more than 30 days.

Each such shareholder’s notice shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s share transfer books, of the shareholder proposing business, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned by such shareholder, (iii) a representation that such shareholder is a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the business specified in the notice, (iv) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, including the complete text of any resolutions to be presented and the reasons for wanting to conduct such business and (v) any interest which the shareholder may have in such business. The Chairman of the meeting may

dismiss any business that a shareholder attempts to bring before an annual meeting without complying with the foregoing procedure. The foregoing provisions are not applicable to shareholder nominations of Directors, the process for which is set forth in Article II.

The Secretary shall deliver each shareholder’s notice that has been timely received to the Chairman of the Board or, if there is not one, to the Chief Executive Officer for review.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a shareholder seeking to have a proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders shall comply with the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), or with any successor regulation. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

SECTION 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”), the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. Notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

SECTION 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia unless otherwise prescribed by statute, as the place of meeting of shareholders for any annual meeting or for any special meeting. If no designation is made, the place of the meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of each meeting of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting (except when a different time is required in these Bylaws or by law), either personally or by mail, telecopy or any other form of communication permitted by applicable law or by private courier, by or at the direction of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or the Secretary to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If the purpose for which a shareholders meeting is called is to act on an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger, share exchange, domestication or entity conversion, a proposed sale of assets contemplated by Section 13.1-724 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, or the dissolution of the Corporation, notice shall be delivered not less than twenty-five (25) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting date to all shareholders of the Corporation, whether or not entitled to vote. The notice shall include the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different than the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of a shareholders’ meeting need be given to a shareholder if (i) an annual report and proxy statements for two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders, or (ii) all, and at least two, checks in payment of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period, have been sent by first-class United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears on the share transfer books of the Corporation, and returned undeliverable. The obligation of the Corporation to give notice of shareholders’ meetings to any such shareholder shall be reinstated once the Corporation has received a new address for such shareholder for entry on its share transfer books.

If a meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. However, if a new record date for an adjourned meeting is fixed, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to shareholders of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting unless a court provides otherwise.

SECTION 5. Record Dates. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or to receive any dividend or for any purpose, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date or dates for any such determination of shareholders, such date or dates in any case to be not more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date or dates, which shall be required if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one-hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the original meeting. The record date for a shareholders’ meeting fixed by the Board of Directors shall be the record date for determining shareholders entitled to both notice of and to vote at the shareholders’ meeting, unless the Board of Directors, at the time it fixes the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, fixes a later record date on or before the date of the meeting to determine the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

SECTION 6. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date or dates are or shall be set for that adjourned meeting. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

SECTION 7. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. A shareholder or the shareholder’s agent or attorney-in-fact may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an

appointment form or by any other means authorized by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or other applicable law. Such proxy shall be effective when received by the inspector(s) of elections or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes. Such proxy shall be valid for eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. An appointment of a proxy is revocable unless the appointment form states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

SECTION 8. Voting of Shares. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved if the number of votes cast favoring the action exceed the number of votes cast opposing the action unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law or by the Board of Directors or other person proposing the matter or is otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The vote required in the election of directors shall be as provided in Section 4 of Article II.

SECTION 9. Organization and Order of Business.

(a) The Chairman shall serve as chairman at all meetings of the shareholders. In the absence of the Chairman or if the Chairman declines to serve, the chairman of the meeting shall be designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary shall act as secretary at all meetings of the shareholders. In the event that neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The chairman of the meeting shall have the authority to make such rules and regulations, to establish such procedures and to take such steps as the chairman deems necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of each meeting of the shareholders, including, without limitation, the authority to make the agenda and to establish procedures for (i) dismissing business not properly presented, (ii) maintaining order and safety, (iii) placing limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, (iv) placing restrictions on attendance at a meeting by persons or classes of persons who are not shareholders or their proxies, (v) restricting entry to a meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof, (vi) commencing, conducting and closing voting on any matter and (vii) adjourning the meeting to be reconvened at a later date.

ARTICLE II.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. General Powers. The Corporation shall have a Board of Directors. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors, subject to any limitation set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.

SECTION 2. Number, Tenure and Qualification. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be ten nine. Directors shall be elected for terms that expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders following their election. No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Despite the expiration of a

director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and duly qualified, until there is a decrease in the number of directors or until removed by the shareholders, whichever event first occurs.

SECTION 3. Nomination of Directors. Nominations for the election of directors at any annual meeting of shareholders may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder who is a shareholder of record of a class of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at the applicable meeting of shareholders and who is such a shareholder of record, both at the time of the giving of the shareholder’s notice hereinafter described in this Section and on the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the applicable meeting. However, such a shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors only if written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations is submitted in writing, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation and is received at the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than, (i) 120 days before the one-year anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, if clause (ii) is not applicable, or (ii) 90 days before the date of the annual meeting if the date of such annual meeting, as prescribed in these Bylaws, has been changed by more than 30 days.

Each such nomination shall set forth the name and address of the nominee and a description of the nominee’s qualifications for serving as a director and: (i) the name and address of the shareholder making the nomination; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and, if necessary, would appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if the nominee were to be nominated by the Board of Directors; (d) information concerning each nominee’s independence as defined by applicable NASDAQ listing standards; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if elected. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

SECTION 4. Election. Except as provided in Section 13 of this Article II, directors shall be elected by the holders of the common shares at each annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting called for such purpose. Each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, that if it is determined that the number of persons properly nominated to serve as elected directors of the Corporation exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a contested election), the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director.

In order for any incumbent director to be a nominee for continued service on the Board of Directors he or she must submit an irrevocable offer of resignation, contingent on failing to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election. Following an uncontested election, if a nominee who is an incumbent director does not receive a majority of the votes cast, the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters shall consider, and recommend to the Board of Directors, whether to accept or reject the offer of resignation. Within 90 days following certification of the election results, the Board of Directors shall act on the offered resignation. In determining whether or not to accept the offered resignation, the Board of Directors shall consider any recommendation of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters, the factors considered by that committee and any additional information and factors that the Board of Directors believes to be relevant. The Board of Directors will promptly disclose its decision whether to accept the director’s resignation offer (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation offer, if applicable) in a press release to be disseminated in the manner that the Corporation’s press releases typically are distributed.

An incumbent director who fails to receive a sufficient vote for reelection shall not participate in the deliberations or decisions of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters, or the Board of Directors, regarding such director’s resignation. However, if each member of the committee of the Board of Directors responsible for nominating and governance matters fails to receive a sufficient vote for reelection, then the independent directors who did receive a sufficient vote shall appoint a committee amongst themselves to consider the resignation offers and recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept them. In addition, if the only directors who did receive a sufficient vote for reelection in the same election constitute three or fewer directors, all directors may participate in the action regarding whether to accept or reject the resignation offers.

If the submitted resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, the director, despite the expiration of his or her term, shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and duly qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, or if a nominee for director is not elected by the shareholders, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy in accordance with Section 13 of this Article II.

No individual shall be named or elected as a director without such individual’s prior consent.

SECTION 5. Regular Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt a schedule of meetings, which shall be considered regular meetings. Regular meetings shall be held at such times and at such places, within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors shall designate from time to time. If no place is designated, regular meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 6. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or any two directors and shall be held at such times and at such places, within or without the

Commonwealth of Virginia, as such person or persons calling the meeting shall designate. If no such place is designated in the notice of a meeting, it shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

SECTION 7. Notice. No notice need be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting shall be given at least six (6) hours before the meeting in person or delivered to his or her residence or business address (or such other place as the director may have directed in writing) by mail, messenger, telecopy, telegraph, email or any other form of communication permitted by applicable law or by telephoning such notice to the director. Any such notice may be oral or written and shall set forth the date, time and place of the meeting and shall state the purpose for which the meeting is called.

SECTION 8. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors in office immediately before the meeting begins shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors then present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

SECTION 9. Voting. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present is the act of the Board of Directors. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless (i) the director objects, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting specified business at the meeting or (ii) the director votes against or abstains from the action taken.

SECTION 10. Participation in Meetings. The Board of Directors may permit any or all directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

SECTION 11. Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents describing the action is signed by each director before or after such action is taken and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records. Action taken under this Section shall be effective when the last director signs the consent unless the consent specifies a different effective date in which event the action taken is effective as of the date specified therein provided the consent states the date of execution by each director.

SECTION 12. Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause. Unless the Articles of Incorporation require a greater vote, a director may be removed if the number of votes cast to remove the director constitutes a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at an election of directors. A director may be removed by the shareholders only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing such director and the meeting notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes of the meeting, is removal of the director.

SECTION 13. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from the removal of a director or an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise provided by law. The term of a director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall expire at the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected.

SECTION 14. Compensation. The directors shall receive such compensation for their services as directors and as members or chair of any committee appointed by the Board as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors and shall be reimbursed by the Corporation for ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

SECTION 15. Committees. The Board of Directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on them. Unless otherwise provided in these Bylaws, each committee shall have two or more members who serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The creation of a committee and appointment of members to it shall be approved by the greater of (i) a majority of all of the directors in office when action is taken, or (ii) the number of directors required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws to take action. The provisions of these Bylaws that govern meetings, action without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements of the Board of Directors shall apply to committees of directors and their members as well.

SECTION 16. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman, if one is designated by the Board of Directors, shall preside at all meetings of the Board and perform such other duties as the Board shall assign from time to time. In the absence of the Chairman, the chairman of the meeting shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 17. Secretary of Meetings. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall act as secretary of meetings of the Board. In the absence of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

ARTICLE III.

SECTION 3. Removal. Any officer, employee or agent may be removed by the Board of Directors with or without cause whenever in its judgment, the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Any officer or assistant officer, if appointed by the Chief Executive Officer, may likewise be removed by the Chief Executive Officer. Such action shall be reported to the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors after it is taken. Election or appointment of an officer, employee or agent shall not of itself create contract rights.

SECTION 4. Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer shall be the principal executive officer of the Corporation and, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, shall in general supervise and control all of the business and affairs of the Corporation and in general shall perform all duties incident to the office of Chief Executive Officer and such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors from time to time.

ARTICLE IV.
SHARE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 1. Certificates for Shares. Shares of the Corporation, when fully paid, shall be evidenced by certificates containing such information as is required by law and in such form as approved by the Board of Directors. When issued, such certificates shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and may (but need not) be sealed with the seal of the Corporation. The seal of the Corporation and any or all of the signatures on a share certificate may be facsimile. If any officer, transfer agent or registrar who signed, or whose facsimile signature has been written, printed or stamped on, a certificate for shares shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent

or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate shall be as valid as though such individual were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Alternatively, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of some or all shares without certificates. In such event, within a reasonable time after issuance, the Corporation shall mail to the shareholder a written confirmation of its records with respect to such shares containing the information required by law.

SECTION 2. Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer. The Board of Directors may make rules and regulations concerning the issue, registration and transfer of shares and/or certificates representing the shares of the Corporation. Transfer of shares of the Corporation, and/or certificates representing such shares, shall be made on the share transfer books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by the shareholder’s legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer, or by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact thereunto authorized by power-of-attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, and on surrender for cancellation of the certificate representing such shares, if any, accompanied by written assignments given by such record shareholder, legal representative or attorney-in-fact.

SECTION 3. Transfer Agents and Registrar. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents or transfer clerks, and one or more registrars, who shall be appointed at such times and places as the requirements of the Corporation may necessitate and the Board of Directors may designate.

SECTION 4. Lost or Destroyed Share Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new share certificate or a written confirmation of its records with respect to shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued which is alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and may require the owner of such certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond, with or without surety, or such other agreement, undertaking or security as the Board of Directors shall determine is appropriate, to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss or destruction of the former certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

SECTION 5. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of the Corporation as the owner thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person. The Corporation shall not be liable for registering any transfer of shares which are registered in the name of a fiduciary unless done with actual knowledge of facts which would cause the Corporation’s action in registering the transfer to amount to bad faith.

ARTICLE V.
FISCAL YEAR

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of May of each year and end on the last day of April in such year. The Board of Directors shall have power to fix and to change the fiscal year of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VI.
CORPORATE SEAL

The Corporation may, but need not, have a corporate seal, which may be altered at will, and may use the same by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced. The failure to affix a seal shall not affect the validity of any instrument.

ARTICLE VII.
WAIVER OF NOTICE

Unless otherwise provided by law, whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder or director of the Corporation under the provisions of these Bylaws or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or under the provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the date and time of the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Such waiver shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.

A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting (i) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless the shareholder, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and (ii) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

A director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to such director of the meeting unless the director, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

ARTICLE VIII.
AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors. Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors may be repealed or changed or new bylaws adopted by the shareholders, and the shareholders may prescribe that any bylaw adopted by them may not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.
