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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. 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, 2010. The Company has evaluated the existence of subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.
On April 28, 2011, the Company declared a five-for-four split of its Common Shares in the form of a distribution of one additional Common Share for each four Common Shares previously issued. The distribution was made on June 10, 2011. Accordingly, all number of shares outstanding and per share data throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 — “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)
ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company believes the adoption of this update will change the order in which certain financial statements are presented and provide additional detail on those financial statements when applicable, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE B — INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 81% of inventories at June 30, 2011 and 82% at December 31, 2010 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 and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

NOTE E — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired prior to January 1, 2008. Additionally, the Company sponsors a defined contribution pension plan at one location not participating in the defined benefit pension plan. A 401(k) plan that includes a graduated Company match is also available. The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit health care plan that provides health benefits to substantially all retirees and their spouses.
For substantially all United States employees hired after January 1, 2008, an enhanced 401(k) plan is available instead of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Benefits are based on age and years of service with the Company. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2008 were not affected by the change.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and related equipment (pump and motor controls) for use in water, wastewater, construction, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to product quality, application and performance combined with delivery and service, and attempts to continually develop initiatives to improve performance in these key areas. Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business opportunities and acquisitions.
During the second quarter 2011, the Company continued to experience improved incoming orders and ended the quarter with a record backlog of $154.2 million. Financial results during the quarter and first half continued to improve compared to the same period a year ago, with earnings largely driven by strong North American sales growth and improved operating leverage. Sales and earnings also benefited from the inclusion of National Pump Company acquired on October 1, 2010.

Second Quarter 2011 Compared to Second Quarter 2010
Net Sales
                                 
    Three Months Ended              
    June 30,              
(Thousands of dollars)   2011     2010     $ Change     % Change  
Net sales
  $ 92,159     $ 72,380     $ 19,779       27.3 %
The increase in net sales during the quarter was due principally to increases in the industrial market of $8.2 million, the agricultural market of $6.0 million, the construction market of $3.4 million and the rental market of $2.1 million. In addition, sales of custom pumps for flood control projects increased $4.6 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in fire protection market sales of $4.3 million.
Strong incoming orders in the original equipment market along with increased orders in the aforementioned markets during the quarter resulted in a record backlog of $154.2 million at June 30, 2011, a 46.9% increase from a year ago and 43.6% higher than the backlog of $107.4 million at December 31, 2010.

% of Net sales
    73.7 %     76.1 %                
The increase in cost of products sold was primarily due to higher sales volume which resulted in additional material costs of $10.4 million. Manufacturing costs include increased compensation and payroll taxes of $1.4 million principally due to increased headcount and overtime compensation associated with meeting increased customer demand for our products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
The increase in SG&A expenses is principally due to the business acquisition of National Pump Company on October 1, 2010. In addition, profit sharing increased $290,000 related to higher operating income and professional fees increased $182,000 primarily due to software consulting, legal and accounting fees.

The increase in sales in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period last year was due principally to increases in the industrial market of $13.4 million, the agricultural market of $10.1 million, the construction market of $6.6 million and the rental market of $3.8 million. In addition, sales of custom pumps increased $9.6 million over 2010 as a result of pumps supplied for flood control projects. These increases were partially offset by decreases in sales to the fire protection market of $5.5 million and the original equipment market of $5.0 million.

The increase in cost of products sold was primarily due to higher sales volume which resulted in additional material costs of $19.6 million, including higher LIFO expense of $1.5 million mainly due to increases in price indexes. Manufacturing costs include increases in compensation and payroll taxes of $3.2 million principally due to increased headcount and overtime compensation associated with meeting increased customer demand for our products. Also, supplies, patterns and tooling expenses increased $853,000 due to increased business activity and profit sharing increased $772,000 related to higher operating income.

The Company’s principal funding source generally is its cash generated from operations. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $27.5 million and there was $20.0 million in outstanding bank debt at June 30, 2011. In addition, the Company had $25.5 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $4.5 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at June 30, 2011.
As operations continued to improve over the last two years, higher sales resulted in increased inventory balances, accounts receivable and accounts payable during the first six months of 2011. The lower cash provided by operations compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to increased inventory balances.
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily consisted of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment of $4.5 million and building improvements of $1.2 million. Capital expenditures for the full year 2011, consisting principally of machinery and equipment, are estimated to be $10 to $12 million and are expected to be financed through internally generated funds and existing lines of credit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of the re-payment of $5.0 million on short-term debt used to partially finance the acquisition of National Pump Company, and payments for dividends of $3.7 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 2011 and 2.4 to 1 at December 31, 2010.
Management believes that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and existing financing capabilities, will be sufficient to meet cash requirements, including capital expenditures and the payment of quarterly dividends, for the next 12 months. On June 10, 2011 the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share, representing the 245th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the Company. While the Company currently expects to continue its history of paying regular quarterly dividends, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in our Fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

ITEM 3.  
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s foreign operations do not involve material risks due to their relative size, both individually and collectively. The Company is not exposed to material market risks as a result of its diversified export sales. Export sales generally are denominated in U.S. Dollars and made on open account or under letters of credit. The increase in comprehensive income during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the increase in value of the Euro and Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar when translating balance sheets from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars.
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. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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 were effective as of June 30, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no 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.
