The Companys operating expenses of $73.2 million for fiscal 2011 increased $12.1 million compared to fiscal 2010 operating expenses of $61.1 million. The increase in operating expenses for fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation of $2.5 million due to improved operating results, inclusion of operating expenses from acquisitions completed in fiscal 2010 of $2.4 million, higher research and development expenses of $1.3 million and investments in sales and marketing of $0.8 million.

Net working capital was $218.4 million at August 31, 2012, as compared with $178.4 million at August 31, 2011. The increase in net working capital mainly resulted from increased cash from earnings over the past year, increased inventory to support the increases in sales, especially in the irrigation segment, and increased receivables due to higher sales. Cash flows provided by operations totaled $52.4 million during the year ended August 31, 2012 compared to $43.1 million provided by operations during the same prior year period. Cash provided by operations increased by $9.4 million compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of increased earnings ($6.5 million) and positive cash flow changes in receivables ($5.1 million) and current taxes payable ($7.7 million) offset in part by decreases due to negative cash flow changes in other current liabilities ($9.8 million).
