In particular, we direct your attention to Part I, Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk; and Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

 

(unaudited)

 

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The information included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Certain prior year balances in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

 

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries.  Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated.  The equity method is used to account for our ownership in entities where we do not have a controlling interest.  All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Foreign Operations and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

 

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period.  Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from the Company’s operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of clad metal products and welding services are generally based upon customer specifications set forth in customer purchase orders and require the Company to provide certifications relative to metals used, services performed, and the results of any non-destructive testing that the customer has requested be performed.  All issues of conformity of the product to specifications are resolved before the product is shipped and billed.  Products related to the oilfield products segment, which include detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters, and shaped charges, as well as, seismic related explosives and accessories, are standard in nature.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when all four of the following criteria have been satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; delivery has occurred; and collection is reasonably assured.  For contracts that require multiple shipments, revenue is recorded only for the units included in each individual shipment.  If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a probable loss, the Company will account for such anticipated loss.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). Although this statement does not require any new fair value measurements, in certain cases its application has changed previous practice in determining fair value. SFAS 157 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 as it relates to fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in its financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

 

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the deferred provisions of SFAS 157 as defined by FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, (“FSP No. 157-2”). FSP No. 157-2 deferred the adoption date for certain non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  The adoption in 2009 of SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

 

·              Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.

 

·              Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

·              Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

11

Table of Contents

 

SFAS 157 assigns the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

As discussed in Note 6, the Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate interest rate risk on portions of its variable rate term loan debt.   The swap agreement is not exchange listed and is therefore valued with models that use Level 2 inputs.  The degree to which the Company’s credit worthiness impacts the value does require some management judgment but as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the impact of this assessment on the overall value of the outstanding interest rate swap was not significant and the Company’s valuation of the agreement is classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company has related party transactions with its unconsolidated joint ventures, as well as with the minority shareholder of one of its consolidated joint ventures.  A summary of related party balances as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is summarized below:

 

		As of March 31, 2009									As of December 31, 2008

Earnings Per Share

 

In 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, and it became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009.  Under this standard, unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (RSAs), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”).  Under the two-class method required by EITF 03-6-1, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.  This FSP requires retrospective applications for periods prior to the effective date and as a result, all prior period earnings per share data presented herein have been adjusted to conform to these provisions.  The Company’s adoption of this FSP resulted in a $.01 per share reduction to the previously reported basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows:

 

		For the Three Months Ended								For the Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2009								March 31, 2008
		Income			Shares		EPS			Income			Shares		EPS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of these standards in 2009 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS 161 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and how derivatives impact financial statements.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The

adoption of SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of 2009 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

3.      INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

 

Operating results include the Company’s proportionate share of income from unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method.  These investments (all of which resulted from the acquisition of DYNAenergetics and pertain to the Company’s Oilfield Products business segment) include the following: (1) 65.19% interest in Perfoline, which is a Russian manufacturer of perforating gun systems and (2) 55% interest in DYNAenergetics RUS which is a Russian trading company that sells the Company’s oilfield products.  Due to certain minority interest veto rights that allow the minority interest shareholders to participate in ordinary course of business decisions, these joint ventures have been accounted for under the equity method instead of being consolidated in these financial statements.  Investments in these joint ventures totaled $744 and $970 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

Summarized unaudited financial information for the joint ventures accounted for under the equity method as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

 

		March 31,			December 31,

Swap Agreement
