NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) (Unaudited)

  
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, or “Applied”) as of September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and its cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.

Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

Inventory

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination.

2.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed an acquisition to complement and extend its business over a broader geographic area. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of SKF Group's company-owned distribution business in Australia and New Zealand (“Applied Australia”). As one of the largest bearing suppliers in these markets, Applied Australia also distributes seals, lubrication products, and power transmission products. The acquired business is included in the Service Center Based Distribution segment from the acquisition date, August 1, 2012. The results of operations for this acquisition are not material for any period presented.

3.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the Service Center Based Distribution segment for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 are as follows:

APPLIED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, whose report covering their reviews of the condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc.
Cleveland, Ohio

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2012, and the related condensed statements of consolidated income, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of consolidated income, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated shareholders’ equity, and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated August 15, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Applied Industrial Technologies (“Applied,” the “Company,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) is a leading industrial distributor serving MRO, OEM and government markets. Applied is an authorized source for a diverse range of products, including bearings, power transmission components, fluid power components and systems, industrial rubber products, linear motion components, tools, safety products, and general maintenance and mill supply products.  The Company also provides customized shop services for mechanical, fabricated rubber and fluid power products, as well as services to meet storeroom management and maintenance training needs. We have a long tradition of growth dating back to 1923, the year our business was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, business was conducted in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia and New Zealand from 517 facilities.

The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of significant factors which have affected our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying condensed statements of consolidated income, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. When reviewing the discussion and analysis set forth below, please note that the majority of SKUs we sell in any given period were not necessarily sold in the comparable period of the prior year, resulting in the inability to quantify certain commonly used comparative metrics analyzing sales, such as changes in product mix and volume.

Overview
Consolidated sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased $30.9 million or 5.3% compared to the prior year quarter, with acquisitions contributing $19.5 million or 3.4% and an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.8 million reducing sales by 1.0%. Operating margin decreased to 7.3% of sales from 7.5% for the prior year quarter largely driven by a decrease in our gross margin. Net income of $29.5 million increased 11.9% compared to the prior year quarter. Shareholders' equity was $703.1 million at September 30, 2012, up from the June 30, 2012 level of $672.1 million. The current ratio was 2.8 to 1 at September 30, 2012 and 2.9 to 1 at June 30, 2012.

Applied monitors several economic indices that have been key indicators for industrial economic activity in the United States. These include the Industrial Production and Manufacturing Capacity Utilization (MCU) indices published by the Federal Reserve Board and the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). Historically, our performance correlates well with the MCU, which measures productivity and calculates a ratio of actual manufacturing output versus potential full capacity output. When manufacturing plants are running at a high rate of capacity, they tend to wear out machinery and require replacement parts. Our sales tend to lag the MCU by up to six months.

In the September quarter, Industrial Production declined at an annual rate of .4%. The MCU for September was 76.8, down from the June 2012 reading of 77.5. The ISM PMI averaged 51.5 in the September quarter, an improvement from 49.7 in the June quarter, and above 50 (its expansionary threshold).

The number of Company associates was 4,868 at September 30, 2012, 4,664 at June 30, 2012, and 4,686 at September 30, 2011. The number of operating facilities totaled 517 at September 30, 2012 and 476 at June 30, 2012.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, sales increased $30.9 million or 5.3% compared to the prior year quarter, with acquisitions accounting for $19.5 million or 3.4%, and foreign currency translation decreasing sales by $5.8 million or 1.0%. There were 63 selling days in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus 64 selling days in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Sales from our Service Center Based Distribution segment, which, operates primarily in MRO markets, increased $34.0 million or 7.3% during the quarter from the same period in the prior year, primarily attributed to expansion in the industrial economy. Acquisitions within this segment increased sales by $19.5 million or 4.2%.

Sales from our Fluid Power Businesses segment, which operates primarily in OEM markets, decreased $3.0 million or 2.6% during the quarter from the same period in the prior year, primarily attributed to weakness within one of our Fluid Power Businesses.

Sales in our U.S. operations were up $12.1 million or 2.5% with acquisitions adding $0.3 million or 0.1% . Sales from our Canadian operations increased $0.6 million or 0.9%, with acquisitions adding $4.7 million or 6.4% and an unfavorable foreign currency translation decreasing Canadian sales by $2.8 million or 3.9%. Consolidated sales from our other country operations, which include Mexico, Australia and New Zealand, were $18.2 million or 98.0% above the prior year. 20.0% of this increase, or $3.7 million relates to our Mexican operations. This increase consisted of a $6.7 million increase in local currency sales partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.0 million .

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, industrial products and fluid power products accounted for 72.1% and 27.9%, respectively, of sales as compared to 70.6% and 29.4%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Our gross profit margin for the quarter was 26.9%, as compared to the prior year's quarter of 27.4%. The slight decrease can largely be attributed to small margin decreases from competitive pressures in the Service Center Based Distribution and Fluid Power businesses.

Selling, distribution and administrative expense (SD&A) consists of associate compensation, benefits and other expenses associated with selling, purchasing, warehousing, supply chain management and providing marketing and distribution of the Company's products, as well as costs associated with a variety of administrative functions such as human resources, information technology, treasury, accounting, legal, and facility related expenses. SD&A was 19.7% of sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 19.9% in the prior year quarter. On an absolute basis, SD&A increased $4.8 million or 4.1% compared to the prior year quarter. Acquisitions have contributed a $5.7 million increase in SD&A expenses. ERP project spending in 2013 is in line with our estimates.

Operating income increased 2.4% or $1.1 million, and as a percent of sales decreased to 7.3% from 7.5% during the prior year quarter. The quarterly increase in operating income primarily reflects higher sales levels. The decline in the operating margin percentage is driven by a lower gross margin percentage in the quarter offset somewhat by improved leverage of our SD&A expenses over a larger base, as we lowered our SD&A as a percent of sales to 19.7% versus 19.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Operating income as a percentage of sales for the Service Center Based Distribution segment increased to 6.8% in the current year quarter, from 6.3% in the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to higher sales levels without a commensurate increase in SD&A. SD&A as a percentage of sales has decreased (representing a 0.4% decrease as a percentage of sales).

The Fluid Power Businesses operating margins decreased to 9.3% in the current year quarter from 9.7% in the prior year quarter. While the segment experienced a decline in sales from the prior year quarter, it also reduced its SD&A to a level commensurate with the lower sales level.  The reduction in operating margin is attributable to a 0.4% gross profit margin decline as a percentage of sales.

Other income was $0.5 million in the quarter which included unrealized gains on investments held by non-qualified deferred compensation trusts of $0.4 million and net favorable foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1 million. During the prior year quarter other expense was $1.9 million which included unrealized losses on investments held by non-qualified deferred compensation trusts of $1.4 million and net unfavorable foreign currency transaction losses of $0.5 million.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The effective income tax rate was 34.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 36.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The impact of lower effective tax rates in foreign jurisdictions favorably reduced our rate when compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate by approximately 2.3% in the quarter. We expect our full year tax rate to be in the 34.0% to 34.5% range.

As a result of the factors addressed above, net income increased $3.2 million or 11.9% compared to the prior year quarter. Net income per share was $0.70 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $0.61 in the prior year quarter.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by bank borrowings or other sources of debt. At September 30, 2012 and at September 30, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings. Management expects that our existing cash, cash equivalents, funds available under the revolving credit facility, cash provided from operations, and the use of operating leases will be sufficient to finance normal working capital needs in each of the countries we operate in, payment of dividends, acquisitions, investments in properties, facilities and equipment, and the purchase of additional Company common stock. Management also believes that additional long-term debt and line of credit financing could be obtained based on the Company's credit standing and financial strength.

The Company's working capital at September 30, 2012 was $445.1 million, compared to $435.6 million at June 30, 2012. The current ratio was 2.8 to 1 at September 30, 2012 and 2.9 to 1 at June 30, 2012.

In the first quarter, the Company acquired SKF's company-owned distribution businesses in Australia and New Zealand for cash consideration. The Company funded this acquisition from its available cash.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $16.4 million for the same period a year ago. Improved net income generated $3.2 million of operating cash flow with the remainder being generated by lower increases in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $39.1 million; $3.9 million was used for capital expenditures (including capitalized costs associated with our ERP project) and $35.4 million for acquisitions. These uses of cash were partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from property sales. In the three months ended September 30, 2011, investing activities used $7.7 million including $1.2 million for acquisitions and $7.1 million for capital expenditures. These uses of cash were partially offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from property sales.

Net cash used in financing activities was $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Financing activities included $8.9 million used to pay dividends as well as $0.8 million for acquisition holdback payments, offset by $1.2 million from tax benefits from share based compensation. During the same period in the prior year, financing activities used $26.0 million of cash; repurchases of 640,000 shares of treasury stock were for $18.2 million and paid dividends used $8.1 million.

ERP Project
In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, Applied commenced its ERP (SAP) project to transform the Company's technology platforms and enhance its business information and transaction systems for future growth. We continue to expect spending in fiscal year 2013 to reach $19.0 million to $21.0 million ($4.0 million to $5.0 million capital and $15.0 million to $16.0 million expense). We have deployed our solution in a portion of our Canadian operations. U.S. deployments have started in the second quarter with further deployments planned for fiscal 2013 and 2014.

Share Repurchases
The Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock. These purchases may be made in open market and negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending upon market conditions. We did not acquire any shares of treasury stock in the three months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, we had authorization to repurchase an additional 1,142,800 shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we acquired 640,000 shares of treasury stock for $18.2 million.

Borrowing Arrangements
We have a $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks expiring in May 2017. There are no borrowings outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, unused capacity under this facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, was $140.9 million and is available to fund future acquisitions or other capital and operating requirements.

We also have an uncommitted long-term financing shelf facility which expires in February 2013 and enables us to borrow up to $100.0 million with terms of up to fifteen years. At September 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and consist of trade receivables from customers. Management monitors accounts receivable by reviewing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and the aging of receivables for each of the Company's locations.

On a consolidated basis, DSO was 47.3 at September 30, 2012 versus 45.2 at June 30, 2012. Accounts receivable increased 6.1% this year, compared to a 5.3% increase in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2012. We primarily attribute the increase in DSO to higher sales to large contract accounts.

Less than 1.7% of our accounts receivable balances are more than 90 days past due. On an overall basis, our provision for losses from uncollected receivables represents 0.04% of our sales in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Historically, this percentage is around 0.15%. Management believes the overall receivables aging and provision for losses on uncollected receivables are at reasonable levels.

Inventory Analysis
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for U.S. inventories and the average cost method for foreign inventories. Management uses an inventory turnover ratio to monitor and evaluate inventory. Management calculates this ratio on an annual as well as a quarterly basis and uses inventory valued at current costs. The annualized inventory turnover for the period ended September 30, 2012 was 4.4 versus 4.6 at June 30, 2012. We believe our inventory turnover ratio in fiscal 2013 will remain similar to the fiscal 2012 levels.

Other factors and unanticipated events could also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We discuss certain of these matters more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 .

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
The Company has undertaken a multi-year ERP (SAP) project to transform the Company's technology platforms and enhance its business information and transaction systems. The Company began to implement SAP in parts of its Canadian businesses to support both accounting and operating activities. The implementation, at operating locations is expected to continue, through the end of calendar year 2013. All changes in the Company's key business applications and financial processes, as a result of the continuing implementation of SAP are being evaluated by management. The Company is designing effective processes and internal controls to address changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as a result of the SAP implementation.
Other than as described above, there have not been any changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
