ITEM 1.   NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly – and majority – owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.
NOTE B — INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for substantially all inventories are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
The major components of inventories are as follows: (net of LIFO reserves)

NOTE E — INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized an increase of approximately $260,000 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

ITEM 1.   NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $1.2 million. That amount includes $939,000 of unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate.
At June 30, 2007 the balance of unrecognized tax benefits had increased to approximately $1.5 million. The increase in the current quarter is related to a $268,000 increase in prior period tax positions, offset by a $31,000 decrease resulting from the Company entering Voluntary Disclosure programs in several taxing jurisdictions.
The Company has entered into Voluntary Disclosure programs in several taxing jurisdictions. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $74,000 related primarily to tax filing issues in those states. The Company anticipates that the resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2003.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. The Company had accrued approximately $172,000 for the payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2007. An additional accrual of interest and penalties of approximately $88,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE F — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit health care plan that provides health benefits to substantially all retirees and their spouses. (See Note F — Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Form 10-K.)

NOTE G — ACQUISITIONS
In April, 2007 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Gorman-Rupp International Company, purchased a 90% controlling equity interest in Wavo Pompen B.V. for consideration (net of cash acquired) of approximately $4.1 million, of which $3.4 million was paid in April, 2007. The acquisition was financed with cash from the Company’s treasury. The allocation of the purchase price to the business acquired is preliminary and will be finalized pending completion of a fair value appraisal process. The acquisition of Wavo Pompen B.V. offers the Company an expanded European presence and is a continuation of the implementation of its international growth strategy.
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements in this section and elsewhere herein contain various forward-looking statements and include assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp Company’s operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and uncertainties. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the following cautionary statement identifying important economic, political, and technological factors, among others, the absence of which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions.
Such factors include the following: (1) continuation of the current and projected future business environment, including interest rates and capital and consumer spending; (2) competitive factors and competitor responses to Gorman-Rupp initiatives; (3) successful development and market introductions of anticipated new products; (4) stability of government laws and regulation, including taxes; (5) stable governments and business conditions in emerging economies; (6) successful penetration of emerging economies; and (7) continuation of the favorable environment to make acquisitions, domestic and foreign, including regulatory requirements and market values of candidates.

The Company’s record net sales for the quarter of $79,647,000 represents a 17.3% increase from the second quarter of 2006. The increase in net sales for the second quarter of 2007 were principally due to sales of $6,800,000 primarily as a result of pumps supplied by Patterson Pump Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for a flood control project in New Orleans. Also, increased product sales in the fire protection, construction, rental and government markets of approximately $4,900,000 contributed to the record quarter.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
The backlog at June 30, 2007 was $98,000,000 compared to the record backlog of $115,200,000 at March 31, 2007, representing a 14.9% decrease principally resulting from increased shipments.

    77.3 %     77.0 %                
 
The 17.6% increase in cost of products sold in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to the product mix and higher sales volume, which resulted in increased cost of material of $7,813,000. Manufacturing costs included increased warranty costs of $554,000 due to estimates related to the higher sales volume and historical claim experience. In addition, expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan increased $221,000 as a result of higher operating income and healthcare costs increased $212,000 due to increased claims and higher medical costs. As a percent of net sales, gross margins were 22.7% in 2007 and 23.0% in 2006.

    10.4 %     11.3 %                
 
The 8.4% increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increases in salaries and payroll taxes of $181,000 as a result of the filling of vacant positions and normal salary increases, bad debt expense of $121,000 due to estimates related to sales volume, and shareholder relations expense of $109,000 related to the 2006 annual report and the regulatory fees associated with additional authorized common shares of the Company. The 90 basis points decrease in percentages of SG&A expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 was principally due to the additional sales volume.

Income before income taxes for the second quarter 2007 was $10,438,000 compared to $8,383,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $2,055,000 or 24.5%. Income taxes were $3,900,000 compared to $2,884,000 for the same period of 2006, an increase of $1,016,000 or 35.2%. The increase in the effective tax rate of 3.0 percentage points was due to reduced foreign income tax credits, partially offset by an increase in the domestic production activities deduction.
Record net income for the second quarter 2007 was $6,538,000 compared to $5,499,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $1,039,000 or 18.9%. As a percent of net sales, net income was 8.2% for 2007 and 8.1% for 2006. The Company had earnings per share of $0.49 for the quarter compared to $0.41 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $0.08 per share.

Net sales
  $ 154,108     $ 134,992     $ 19,116       14.2 %
 
The record sales for the six months, representing a 14.2% increase over the six months ended June 30, 2006, were principally due to sales of $11,100,000 primarily as a result of pumps supplied by Patterson Pump Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for a flood control project in New Orleans. Also, increased product sales in the construction, rental, government and industrial markets of approximately $6,500,000 contributed to record six months sales.
The backlog at June 30, 2007 was $98,000,000 compared to $91,700,000 at June 30, 2006, representing a 6.9% increase. The backlog is down slightly from the backlog of $109,500,000 at December 31, 2006 due primarily to increased shipments.

% of Net sales
    77.8 %     77.4 %                
 
The 14.8% increase in cost of products sold in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to the product mix and higher sales volume, which resulted in increased cost of material of $12,791,000. Manufacturing costs included higher healthcare costs of $1,026,000 due to increased claims and higher medical costs. In addition, warranty costs increased $485,000 due to estimates related to sales volume and historical claim experience, and expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan increased $314,000 as a result of higher operating income. These costs were partially offset by the benefit from volume leverage and controlled expense management. As a percent of net sales, gross margins were 22.2% in 2007 and 22.6% in 2006.

% of Net sales
    10.9 %     11.7 %                
 
The 6.2% increase in SG&A expenses is principally due to increases in salaries and payroll taxes of $426,000 as a result of the filling of vacant positions and normal salary increases, and advertising expense of $250,000 related to participation in trade shows. The 80 basis points decrease in percentages of SG&A expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to the additional sales volume.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $18,481,000 compared to $15,431,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $3,050,000 or 19.8%. Higher income taxes of $1,457,000 were a direct result of increased profits during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The effective income tax rate used was 37.1% in 2007 and 35.0% in 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate of 2.1 percentage points was due to reduced foreign income tax credits, partially offset by an increase in the domestic production activities deduction.
Record net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $11,630,000 compared to $10,037,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $1,593,000 or 15.9%. As a percent of net sales, net income was 7.5% in 2007 and 7.4% in 2006.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months in 2007 was $19,801,000 compared to $8,116,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $11,685,000. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is principally due to an income tax refund of $1.0 million, the application of prepaid income tax to 2007 estimated taxes and an increase of accounts payable. The positive cash flow for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to profits from operations, an income tax refund of $1.0 million and the application of prepaid income tax to 2007 estimated taxes.
Cash used for investing activities during the first six months in 2007 was $8,887,000 compared to $4,324,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $4,563,000.

During the second quarter, the Company allocated an additional $1,820,000 for architectural and design engineering services regarding a future expansion of a manufacturing facility in Mansfield, Ohio; the total funds allocated as of June 30, 2007 was $4,270,000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISK
The Company’s foreign operations do not involve material risks due to their small size, both individually and collectively. The Company is not exposed to material market risks as a result of its export sales or operations outside of the United States. Export sales are denominated predominately in U.S. dollars and made on open account or under letters of credit.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no other changes in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to the date of the evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that could significantly affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
