1. Interim
Financial Statements
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. (the “Company”) have
not been audited, except that the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 is derived
from the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements. In the
opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s
financial position at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the cash
flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and
2006. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the financial
position and operating results for the interim periods. As used in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “NN”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”,
or “us” mean NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited,
condensed, consolidated and unaudited, consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for
the
year ended December 31, 2006 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 16, 2007.
The
results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2007 or
any
other future periods.
Note
2. Restructuring
and Impairment Charges
Metal
Bearing Components Segment Restructuring, Impairment and Other Cost Reduction
Actions
On
July
25, 2007, we announced several actions intended to improve corporate financial
performance that resulted in the recognition of certain restructuring,
impairment and other non-recurring charges. The most significant action is
a restructuring of the European precision ball plants operations of the Metal
Bearing Components Segment of the company. As we have increased capacity
at our two newest ball plants in China and Slovakia, we now need to align our
capacity across our worldwide system of six ball plants, both in assets
currently in service and in production assets that have been held in reserve.
Earlier in July 2007, management made a decision that, at this time,
reducing output at four of the six ball plants would be the best financial
and
logistical solution to align capacity. Reducing capacity will necessitate
changes in employment levels resulting in certain costs and charges, as well
as
a reduction in cash flow from each of the plants. Since the reporting
value of tangible and intangible assets must be supported by cash flow from
the
operations, the changes resulted in reduction in value of certain tangible
and
intangible assets at the affected ball plants.
During
the second quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $15,269 ($14,076
after-tax) of non-cash impairment costs. These charges include the
write-down to estimated fair market value of certain excess production equipment
of $3,320 ($3,212 after tax), the full impairment of goodwill at one European
reporting unit of $10,016 ($9,412 after tax) and the impairment of a customer
relationship intangible asset of $1,932 ($1,452 after tax) to levels supported
by projected cash flows after the restructuring. These impairments
were calculated using present value of expected future cash flows methods
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142 and SFAS
144 for the goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, and estimates of
fair
value pursuant to SFAS 144 for the fixed assets.
During
the third quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $1,272 ($1,196 after tax)
of cash restructuring charges and approximately $197 ($154 after tax) of
non-cash impairment charges related to the write-down to estimated fair value
of
certain excess production equipment and customer intangible assets as part
of
the Metal Bearings Components Segment restructuring. The $1,272 was
for severance charges booked in accordance with SFAS 146, that will be paid
out
upon completion of the required legal notification period which is approximately
one year. No further restructuring or impairment charges are expected
for 2007.

Precision
Metal Components Segment
During
the third quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $5,600 ($3,696 after tax)
to impair a customer relationship intangible asset recorded on the Whirlaway
opening balance sheet as part of the purchase on November 30,
2006. Given the recent volatility of customer orders and lower than
expected sales in 2007, we impaired the customer relationship intangible to
levels supported by updated expected future cash flows pursuant to SFAS
144.

5. Segment
Information
The
segment information and the accounting policies of each segment are the same
as
those described in the “Segment Information” footnote and the “Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies” footnote, respectively,
in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006. We evaluate segment performance based on net income or loss
after income taxes. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007, we have reported segment profit excluding restructuring
and
impairment charges, a non-GAAP accounting measure, as this information is
utilized by our chief operating decision maker to examine segment profitability.
Additionally, this new line item was added to show only operational performance
and to enhance comparability to the prior periods. We account
for inter-segment sales and transfers at current market prices. We
did not have any significant inter-segment transactions during the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. As discussed in
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, we changed
our segment reporting during the fourth quarter of 2006. The three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 have been restated to conform
to
the current presentation.

6. Recent
Investing Activity
The
opening balance sheet for the Whirlaway Corporation (“Whirlaway”) acquisition on
November 30, 2006 was adjusted during the third quarter. For the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007, Goodwill increased by a net
$1,246. The increase was from recording a deferred tax liability of
$4,047 related to the differences in book and tax basis of fixed
assets. This increase was offset by the elimination of tax indemnity
liability of $2,667 to the former Whirlaway shareholder related to the tax
basis
of the fixed assets. Finally, Goodwill decreased by $134 as certain
opening balance sheet liabilities were reduced to their proper values partially
offset by legal costs related to the acquisition paid during 2007.
The
following pro-forma financial information shows the net sales, net income,
and
net income per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, as
though the acquisition of Whirlaway occurred at the beginning of
2006.

7. Pensions
We
have a
defined benefit pension plan covering the employees at our Eltmann, Germany
facility. The benefits are based on the expected years of service;
however, as the plan was curtailed in 2006, the plan will no longer incur
service costs. The plan is unfunded. There were no prior
service costs recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September
30,
2007 and 2006.

Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation
No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation
of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive
model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in
its
financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects
to take on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the financial statements will reflect
expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing
authorities' full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts, but without
considering time values. FIN 48 also revises disclosure requirements and
introduces a prescriptive, annual, tabular roll-forward of the unrecognized
tax
benefits. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and the effects on our consolidated
financial position, liquidity, and results of operations were not material.
See
Note 15 for additional information.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS 157”), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities
that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another US
generally accepted accounting principal standard requires (or permits) assets
or
liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair
value to any new circumstances. This standard also will require
additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157
will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and will be adopted by us beginning in the first
quarter of 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact
this standard may have on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations, but do not believe the impact of the adoption will be
material.

(unaudited) In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at
specified election dates. Upon adoption, an entity shall report
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the
provisions apply only to entities that elect the fair value
option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," applies to all entities
with
available for sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 will be
effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins
after
November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect SFAS No.
159 will have on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results
of
operations.

On
May
30, 2007, we entered into an agreement to amend our $90,000 credit facility
to
increase the total commitment from $90,000 to $135,000. Other than
the increase in the total commitment, the other terms of the credit facility
remained substantially the same. The Company incurred $114 of cost
related to this amendment which has been capitalized.
The
increase in borrowings under the $135,000 credit facility is related primarily
to the payment of $18,600 in related party notes payable in connection with
the
Whirlaway acquisition. As of September 30, 2007, $1,222 of
capitalized loan origination cost, net of amortization, for both facilities
was
recorded on the balance sheet within other assets and additions are presented
in
the Financing Activities section of the Statements of Cash Flows.
The
Company received an amendment to the $135,000 credit facility, retroactive
to
June 30, 2007, that amends the definitions of certain components of the
financial covenant calculations to exclude the negative

As
a
result of the Company’s cash management system including all U.S. operations,
checks issued but not presented to the banks for payment may create negative
book cash balances. Such negative balances are included in accounts
payable and totaled $878 and $784 as of September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively, with the change in the balances reported in the Financing
Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The
$1,246 adjustment to the purchase price allocation in the Precision Metal
Components Segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 related
to
recording a deferred tax liability for the difference in book and tax basis
of
fixed assets ($4,047) offset by the elimination of a tax indemnity to the former
shareholder of Whirlaway related to the tax basis of the fixed assets
($2,667). Additionally, there were legal costs paid subsequent to the
year ended December 31, 2006 for the acquisition of Whirlaway offset by
adjustments to certain beginning liability balances.
The
goodwill impairment at our Metal Bearing Components Segment related to the
decision to restructure the European operations of this segment (see Note
2). Accordingly, the goodwill was tested for impairment at locations
affected by the planned restructuring using a present value of future expected
cash flows method performed pursuant to the provision of SFAS
142. The implied fair value of the goodwill was less than the
carrying amount of the goodwill at one European reporting unit and an impairment
charge of $10,016 was included within the restructuring and impairment charges
of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Of
the
intangible assets within the Precision Metal Components Segment, the majority
of
the value is a customer relationship intangible with an estimated fair value
of
$1,012. This intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 10
years and $259 of amortization expense was recorded in 2007. The
remaining balance is made up of a covenant not to compete of $150 and a
favorable leasehold interest of $130. These items are amortizable
over two and two and a half years, respectively, and $56 and $39 in amortization
expense was recorded in 2007. The accumulated amortization related to
all of these intangible assets at September 30, 2007 was
$393. Additionally, in the Precision Metal Components Segment is an
intangible asset not subject to amortization of $900 related to the value of
the
trade names of Whirlaway. During the third quarter of 2007, we
recorded $5,600 to impair the customer relationship intangible
asset. Given the recent volatility of customer orders and lower than
expected sales in 2007, we impaired the customer relationship intangible asset
to levels supported by updated expected future cash flows pursuant to SFAS
144. The impairment charge was included with Restructuring and
impairment charges line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The
intangible asset within the Metal Bearing Components Segment was a relationship
intangible asset related to the SNR purchase agreement and related supply
agreement. This intangible asset was originally subject to
amortization over approximately 5 years and related amortization expense was
originally calculated to approximate $500 for each of the five
years. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the
amortization expense totaled $267. At June 30, 2007, the net value of
this intangible asset of $2,039 was deemed to be fully impaired as a result
of
the European restructuring (see Note 2). The fair value was
determined using a present value of expected future cash flows method pursuant
to SFAS 144 and the impairment charge was included within restructuring and
impairment charges of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note
12. Stock
Compensation
In
the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately
$317 and $682 for 2007 and $116 and $321 for 2006, respectively, of compensation
expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all
share-based awards. On March 1, 2007 and May 25, 2007, we granted
30,000 and 161,500 options, respectively, to directors and certain employees
of
the Company. The fair value of the options cannot be determined by
market value as our options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly,
a
financial pricing model is utilized to determine fair value. The Company
utilizes the Black-Scholes model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate
an option's fair value.

Long
term Incentive Plan
On
June
29, 2007, the Company granted certain directors and other key employees an
award
of 151,500 performance units pursuant to the NN, Inc. 2005 Incentive
Plan. Each unit is equal to one share of NN common
stock. The award entitles the grantee to earn in a range from 90% to
150% of the total number of units based upon achieving earnings per share and
return on capital employed targets over a defined performance
cycle. The value of the performance units is based on the grant date
fair value of one share of NN common stock or $11.80 per unit. The
performance period is fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the shares vest
on
December 31, 2009. There was $113 of compensation expense recognized
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 related to these
performance units and $1,018 of unrecognized compensation cost, before tax
to be
recognized over approximately two years.
Note
13. Property,
Plant and Equipment
During
the first quarter of 2006, we completed a sale of excess land and two buildings
at our Pinerolo, Italy facility. The net book value of this land and
buildings was $1,013 and was classified as held for sale at December 31,
2005. The proceeds from the sale were $2,804, resulting in a pre-tax
gain of $1,791. In addition, the Pinerolo facility disposed of excess
machinery in the first quarter of 2006 with a net book value
of
$1,087, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1,062.
14
Fixed
assets at certain European operations of the Metal Bearing Components Segment
were impaired as a result of the European restructuring (see Note
2.) The total reduction in fixed assets from the impairment charge
was $3,410 and was reported in the restructuring and impairment charges of
the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note
14. Related
Party Transactions
During
the first quarter of 2007,
the Company remitted
$18,638 to the former sole shareholder of Whirlaway
to partially repay the related party note payable. The payment was
financed under our $135,000 credit facility. The remaining $2,667
related party debt at December 31, 2006 related to a tax indemnity was
eliminated with a corresponding reduction to goodwill in the third quarter
of
2007.
Note
15. Provision
for Income Taxes
The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a
result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $600 increase
in our income tax liabilities and a corresponding reduction in beginning
retained earnings.
As
of the
date of adoption, the total unrecognized benefits were approximately $1,464,
all
of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The
amount of unrecognized benefits increased approximately $281 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the unrecognized
benefits in 2007 was a result of previous tax planning strategies from
operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
this balance was reduced by approximately $220 due to a state tax liability
that
was paid in the second quarter of 2007.
Interest
and penalties related to federal, state, and foreign income tax matters are
recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our statements
of
income. We recorded an insignificant amount of foreign interest and
penalties to the provision for income taxes in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007.
The
Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With
few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local
income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001. The
Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations within various
European Union countries for years before 2002.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, the difference between the federal
statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of negative 38% is
primarily due to the large impairment and restructuring charges for the European
restructuring with only an 8% effective tax rate. The effective tax
rate of the impairments is low as the tax benefits created by these impairments
have limited ability to be used in the future based on low amounts of expected
income to be generated at the locations effected by the
impairments.
Excluding
the impairment impacts, the effective tax rate would have been
39.3%. The effective rate is 5.1% higher than usual due to a
valuation reserve being placed on a deferred tax asset from tax loss carry
forwards at a location still incurring losses.
Note
16. Contingencies
On
March
20, 2006, we, as well as numerous other parties, received correspondence from
the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting information regarding a
former waste recycling vendor previously used by us. The vendor has
since ceased operations and the EPA is investigating the clean up of the site
or
sites used by the vendor. As of the date of this report, we do not
know whether we have any liability related to this vendor’s actions or
estimatable range for any potential liability.

Note
17. Common
Stock Repurchases
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately
211,000 shares at an approximate cost of $10.21 per share for a total of $2,156
under the $10 million common stock repurchase program initiated in February
2006. This program expired on September 13, 2007 and was replaced
with a new common stock repurchase program.
The
new
share repurchase program will be in effect for a period of one year beginning
on
September 13, 2007, and the amount approved for purchase, from this date until
the expiration of the program, will be $25 million worth of shares to be
purchased in the open market from time to time in accordance with applicable
laws and market regulations. During the quarter ended September 30,
2007, the Company repurchased approximately 98,000 shares at an average cost
of
$10.27 per share for a total of $1,000.
The
total
of all share repurchases was approximately 309,000 shares for
$3,156.

Net
Sales. Sales have increased due to the addition of the Precision
Metal Components Segment with the acquisition of Whirlaway on November 30,
2006
($15.6 million), from increases in sales volume primarily in our Metal Bearing
Components Segment ($4.0 million), and due to appreciation in value of Euro
denominated sales relative to the U.S. Dollar ($3.8 million). In
addition, sales have increased due to passing through raw material inflation
to
customers ($1.8 million). Partially offsetting these increases are
reductions from price decreases given to several large customers in agreement
with contractual terms ($0.8 million) and unfavorable product mix to existing
customers ($0.3 million).
Cost
of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization). Cost of products sold increased primarily due to
the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006
($13.7 million) and due to the increase in the value of Euro denominated costs
relative to the U.S. Dollar ($3.1 million). In addition, costs
increased related to higher sales volume in our Metal Bearing
Components Segment ($3.0 million). Finally, raw material, labor
and utility inflation increased ($2.0 million). Offsetting these
increases were the impacts of cost reduction projects that reduced cost of
manufacturing ($0.3 million).
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses. The increase was primarily
due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30,
2006 ($1.1 million). In addition, SG&A
expense increased due to the appreciation in the value of Euro
denominated expenses relative to the U.S. Dollar ($0.2 million).
Depreciation
and Amortization. These costs are higher primarily due to the
acquisition of the Precision Metal Components Segment ($1.0 million) and due
to
the increase in the value of the Euro based depreciation and amortization
relative to the U.S. Dollar ($0.2 million).
Interest
expense. Interest expense is higher due to the additional debt
assumed to acquire the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006
($0.6 million).
Restructuring
and Impairment Changes. During the third quarter of 2007, we accrued $1.3
million, in accordance with SFAS 146, for severance cost to terminate 15
employees at our Eltmann, Germany facility and 1 employee at our Metal Bearing
Components Segment headquarters. In addition, during the third
quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $5.6 million ($3.7 million after-tax)
of non-cash impairment charges related to impairment of a customer relationship
intangible asset in our Precision Metal Components Segment to levels supported
by projected cash flows. Finally, during the third quarter of 2007,
an additional $0.2 million of non-cash impairment charges were recorded in
the Metal Bearing Components Segment.
17
Provision
for income taxes. The third quarter of 2007 effective tax rate of 11.7% is
primarily due to the large impairment charges for the European restructuring
without any tax benefit.

The
sales
increase at the Metal Bearing Components Segment was primarily due to higher
volume with existing European customers ($4.5 million). Additionally,
the Metal Bearing Components Segment experienced the positive impacts from
the
appreciation in value of Euro based sales relative to the U.S. Dollar ($3.8
million). Finally, sales increased related to passing through raw
material inflation to customers ($1.4 million). The increases in
sales were partially offset by unfavorable product mix to existing customers
($0.3 million) and due to contractual price decreases to certain large customers
($0.8 million).
The
segment profit, excluding restructuring and impairment charges, a non-GAAP
accounting measure, in the third quarter of 2007 was favorably impacted by
higher sales volumes ($0.9 million, net of tax). Euro denominated
profits were favorably impacted by the increase in the value of the Euro against
the U.S. Dollar ($0.2 million, net of tax). Partially offsetting
these positive impacts were the effects of price decreases given to certain
customers under contractual terms ($0.5 million, net of tax) and the effects
of
unfavorable product and customer mix ($0.3 million, net of tax). Raw
material cost inflation was offset by price increases under contractual terms
to
certain customers, resulting in little impact on segment
profit. Additionally, the third quarter of 2006 had a favorable
effect related to the value of the Slovakian Koruna that did not repeat in
2007
($0.3 million, net of tax). Finally, net operational inefficiencies
primarily related to our China and Slovakia plants not operating at capacity
negatively affected segment profit ($0.3 million).

The
Precision Metal Components Segment was added on November 30, 2006 with the
purchase of Whirlaway. Therefore, the segment was not included
in the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30,
2006.
The
third
quarter 2007 results of Whirlaway are not indicative of normalized annual
operations. Volume in the third quarter of 2007 was down against
historical sales levels due to lower demand of customers that serve the U.S.
heavy truck and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment
markets. The demand in the heavy truck and HVAC markets was
abnormally low in the third quarter of 2007 due to large amounts of purchases
made in the fourth quarter of 2006 of heavy trucks and HVAC
equipment. These purchases were made ahead of required environmental
changes to these products on January 1, 2007. Due to continued
downturn in sales, in the third quarter of 2007, the customer relationship
intangible was impaired to a level supported by future forecasted cash
flows.

lower sales volume into the automotive market ($0.5 million).
Net
income was negatively affected by the volume decreases in sales of products
into
the automotive market ($0.1 million, after tax). The increases in

Net
Sales. Sales have increased due to the addition of the Precision
Metal Components Segment with the acquisition of Whirlaway ($50.7 million)
and
due to appreciation in value of Euro denominated sales relative to the U.S.
Dollar ($13.1 million). In addition, sales have increased due to the
pass through of raw material inflation to customers ($4.4 million) and due
to
higher volume to existing customers at our European operations ($6.6
million). Partially offsetting these increases are reductions from
price decreases given to several large customers in agreement with contractual
terms ($3.0 million) and unfavorable product mix to existing customers ($2.0
million).
Cost
of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization). Cost of products sold increased primarily due to
the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006
($43.8 million) and due to the increase in value of Euro denominated costs
relative to the U.S. Dollar ($10.4 million). In addition, raw
material, labor and utility inflation increased ($6.8 million) and costs
increased related to higher sales volume at our European operations ($5.7
million). Offsetting these increases were favorable mix impacts to
cost of products sold ($1.1 million) and the impact of projects focused on
reducing cost of manufacturing ($3.9 million).
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses. The SG&A expense
increase was primarily due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components
Segment on November 30, 2006 ($3.4 million). In addition, SG&A
expense increased due to the appreciation in the value of Euro denominated
expenses relative to the U.S. Dollar ($0.9 million). Finally, the
total was higher due to recognizing stock option expense ($0.3 million), from
higher spending on consulting and professional fees ($0.3 million), higher
travel and salary cost ($0.3 million) and additional bad debt expense ($0.2
million).
Depreciation
and Amortization. These costs were higher due to the acquisition
of the Precision Metal Components Segment ($3.1 million) and due to the increase
in the value of Euro based depreciation and amortization relative to the U.S.
Dollar ($0.7 million).
Interest
expense. Interest expense was primarily higher due to the
additional debt assumed to acquire the Precision Metal Components Segment on
November 30, 2006 ($1.9 million).
Gain
on disposal of assets. In 2006, we incurred a gain from the sale
of excess land at our Pinerolo, Italy facility ($1.8 million) partially offset
by a loss on disposal of excess equipment at the same facility ($1.1
million).
Restructuring
and Impairment Changes. We have begun to take steps to appropriately adjust
our cost structure and align our plant capacity in our Metal Bearing Components
Segment. This will include restructuring at the European operations
of the Metal Bearing Components Segment as we adjust our global precision ball
manufacturing capacity to better take advantage of favorable cost structures
at
our Slovakian and Chinese Metal Bearing Components manufacturing
facilities. As a result of this restructuring, certain goodwill,
intangible assets, and fixed assets in our European operations are now
considered impaired. As a result, during the second quarter, we
recorded approximately $15.3 million ($14.1 million after-tax) of non-cash
impairment costs. These costs include the write-down of certain
excess production equipment and the impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets to levels supported by projected cash flows after the
restructuring.
20
During
the third quarter of 2007, we accrued $1.3 million, in accordance with SFAS
146,
for severance cost to terminate employment of 16 employees within our Metal
Bearing Components Segment. In addition, during the third quarter of
2007, we recorded approximately $5.6 million ($3.7 million after-tax) of
non-cash impairment costs related to the impairment of a customer relationship
intangible asset in our Precision Metal Components Segment to levels supported
by projected cash flows. Finally, during the third quarter of 2007,
an additional $0.2 million of non-cash impairment charges were recorded in
the
Metal Bearing Components Segment.
Provision
for income taxes. The 2007 effective tax rate of negative 38% was primarily
due to the large impairment charges for the European restructuring with an
unusually low 8% effective tax rate. Factoring out the impairment
impacts, the effective tax rate would have been a more normal
39%. A valuation reserve ($0.8 million) was placed on a loss
carry forward deferred tax asset at a location still incurring losses which
increased the 2007 effective rate 5%. The 2006 effective rate is lower than
the
historical effective rate due to the favorable 19% tax rate on the gain from
sale of land at our Pinerolo, Italy facility.

The
sales
increase at the Metal Bearing Components Segment was primarily due to the
positive impacts from the rise in value of Euro based sales relative to the
U.S.
Dollar ($13.1 million). Additionally, the Metal Bearing Components
Segment experienced higher volume with existing European customers ($9.7
million) and increases related to the pass through of raw material inflation
to
customers ($3.2 million). These increases were partially offset by
unfavorable product mix to existing customers ($2.0 million) and due to
contractual price decreases to certain large customers ($3.1
million).
The
difference in segment profit, excluding restructuring and impairment charges,
a
non-GAAP accounting measure, was primarily related to price decreases given
to
certain customers under contractual terms in 2007 ($1.9 million, net of tax)
and
a gain on the sale of land, net of loss on disposal of machinery, at our
Pinerolo, Italy facility in the first quarter of 2006 that did not repeat in
2007 ($0.8 million, net of tax). Raw material cost inflation was
offset by price increases under contractual terms to certain customers,
resulting in little impact on segment profit. Partially offsetting
the negative impacts stated above were cost reduction projects that offset
utility and labor inflation ($0.7 million, net of tax). Additionally,
Euro denominated profits were favorably impacted by the appreciation in the
value of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar ($0.8 million, net of tax). Finally,
the effect from higher sales volumes in Europe favorably impacted 2007 ($0.8
million, net of tax).

The
Precision Metal Components Segment was added on November 30, 2006 with the
purchase of Whirlaway. Therefore, the segment was not included
in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30,
2006.
The
nine
months ended September 30, 2007 results of Whirlaway are not indicative of
normalized annual operations. The first quarter for this segment
historically has had lower volume than average due to the purchasing patterns
of
the end markets served. The second and third quarters of 2007 were
down due to abnormally low demand in customers that serve U.S. heavy truck
and
HVAC equipment markets.
The
demand in the heavy truck and HVAC markets was abnormally low in the second
and
third quarters of 2007 due to large amounts of purchases made in the fourth
quarter of 2006 of heavy trucks and HVAC equipment. These purchases
were made ahead of required environmental changes to these products on January
1, 2007.
Due
to
continued downturn in sales, in the third quarter of 2007, the customer
relationship intangible was impaired to a level supported by future forecasted
cash flows.

Revenues
in the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment were down due to lower sales volume
to the automotive market ($2.3 million) and lower sales to certain specialty
non-automotive customers ($0.7 million). Partially offsetting the
volume decreases were benefits from raw material inflation pass through ($1.3
million).
Net
income was negatively affected by the volume decreases in sales net of cost
of
goods sold ($1.0 million, after tax). Partially offsetting the volume
impacts were cost reduction projects net of inflation ($0.3 million, after
tax). The increases in sales from raw material pass through were
offset by raw material inflation.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Amounts
outstanding under our $135.0 million credit facility and our $40.0 million
notes
as of September 30, 2007 were $64.5 million and $40.0 million,
respectively. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. We were in compliance with all covenants of our $135.0
million syndicated credit facility and our $40.0 million senior notes as of
September 30, 2007. The Company received an amendment to the $135.0
million credit facility, retroactive to June 30, 2007, that amends the
definitions of certain components of the financial covenant calculations to
exclude the negative impact of non-cash restructuring and impairment
charges.
22
As
of September 30, 2007, we had $70.5 million of availability under the
$135.0 million five year revolving credit facility. Our borrowings
under the credit facility increased by $18.6 million related to the acquisition
of Whirlaway. In addition, our borrowings increased $6.4 million from
December 31, 2006 due to short-term cash flow needs from increased receivable
and inventory balances.
Many
of
our locations use the Euro as their functional currency. In 2007, the
fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar favorably impacted our revenue
and income and increased the value of assets and liabilities, as the average
Euro exchange rate was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the
spot rate at September 30, 2007 was higher than the exchange rate at December
31, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, no currency hedges were in
place. Changes in value of the U.S. Dollar and/or Euro against
foreign currencies could impair our ability to compete with international
competitors for foreign as well as domestic sales.
Working
capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventories, and
accounts payable, was $55.4 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $51.0
million at December 31, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities increased from 1.68:1 at December 31, 2006 to 1.69:1 at September
30, 2007. The increase in working capital was due primarily to the
increase in accounts receivable balances ($8.0 million) and inventory balances
($4.3 million) due to higher sales volume in the third quarter of 2007 compared
to the fourth quarter of 2006 and appreciation of Euro denominated
balances. Partially offsetting these increases was a lower
accounts payable balance ($7.6 million).
Cash
flow
provided by operations was $10.8 million during the first nine months of 2007,
compared with cash flow provided by operations of $22.8 million during the
first
nine months of 2006. The decrease in cash flow provided by operations
is due to accounts receivable having increased in 2007 from higher sales volumes
in the nine months of 2007 and due to inventory having increased in 2007 from
higher sales volumes and from building a level of customer service safety stock
ahead of the European restructuring.
Total
assets and current assets increased approximately $13.0 million and $5.1
million, respectively, from the December 31, 2006 balance due to appreciation
of
the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. Factoring out the foreign
exchange effects, accounts receivable was up due to higher sales volume in
the
third quarter of 2007 than the fourth quarter of 2006 ($5.4
million). Inventories were higher ($2.7 million) due to higher sales
volumes and planned stock increases ahead of the European
Restructuring. Factoring out foreign exchange effects, property,
plant and equipment was lower due to certain fixed assets being impaired ($3.4
million) and from year to date capital spending having been lower than
depreciation ($2.7 million).
Total
liabilities and current liabilities increased approximately $5.6 million and
$3.7 million, respectively, from the December 31, 2006 balance due to
appreciation of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. Factoring out
the foreign exchange effects, accounts payable was lower primarily due to the
pay-off of certain payables from year end December 31, 2006 ($10.0
million). Our debt increased to finance
the growth in working capital from year end. Finally,
liabilities increased due to the accrual of taxes on three quarter’s of income
and from the adoption of FIN 48 ($1.1 million).
During
the second and third quarters, we recorded approximately $21.0
million ($18.0 million after-tax) of non-cash impairment charges.
These charges include the write-down to estimated fair market value of
certain excess production equipment, the full impairment of goodwill at one
location, and impairment of other intangible assets to levels supported by
projected cash flows after the restructuring. These charges did not
require the use of any of our existing cash flows from operations or available
credit lines.
During
the third quarter of 2007, we recorded additional charges related to the
European restructuring for adjustment of employment levels related to the
restructuring of European operations of approximately $1.3 million ($1.2 million
after-tax). These charges will require use of cash and will be
financed from existing cash flows from operations.
During
2007, we plan to spend approximately $19.0 million on capital expenditures
of
which $11.3 million is related primarily to equipment, process upgrades, and
replacements and approximately $7.7 million is related to geographic expansion
of our manufacturing base. Of these amounts, approximately $12.8
million has been spent through September 30, 2007. We intend to
finance these activities with cash generated from operations and funds available
under the credit facilities described above. We believe that funds
generated from operations and borrowings from the credit facilities will be
sufficient to finance our working capital needs, projected capital expenditure
requirements and dividend payments through December 2007.
23
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately
211,000 shares at an approximate cost of $10.21 per share for a total of $2.1
million under the existing $10 million common stock repurchase program initiated
in February 2006. This program expired on September 13, 2007 and was
replaced with a new common stock repurchase program.
The
new
share repurchase program will be in effect for a period of one year beginning
on
September 13, 2007, and the amount approved for purchase, from this date until
the expiration of the program, will be $25 million worth of shares to be
purchased in the open market from time to time in accordance with applicable
laws and market regulations. During the quarter ended September 30,
2007, the Company repurchased approximately 98,000 shares at an average cost
of
$10.27 per share for a total of $1.0 million.
The
total
of all share repurchases was 309,000 shares for $3.1 million.
During
the third quarter of 2007, a dividend declared on August 14, 2007 totaling
$1.4
million was paid on September 13, 2007.
Seasonality
and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results
Our
net
sales in the Metal Bearing Components Segment historically have been of a
seasonal nature due to the fact that a significant portion of our sales are
to
European customers that significantly slow production during the month of
August. With the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment,
the seasonality of the Company should become less pronounced as sales volumes
within this segment are lower in the first and fourth quarters and higher in
the
second and third quarters.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments
underlying them, are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006, including those policies as discussed in Note 1 to
the
annual report. These policies have been consistently applied in all
material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition, inventory
valuation, asset impairment recognition, business combination accounting and
pension and postretirement benefits. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not significantly differ from the estimates used in these
critical accounting policies. The only change during the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was adoption of FIN 48 related
to
accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 has had an immaterial
effect on the financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007.
Sales
Concentration
In
January 2007, we entered into a two-year supply agreement with Schaeffler Group
(INA) effective as of July 1, 2006 that replaced the agreement that expired
on
June 30, 2006. In May 2007, a new multi-year contract was signed with
SKF with the terms being retroactively applied back to January 1, 2007 and
effective until December 31, 2009.
European
Restructuring
As
previously mentioned in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006, during 2006 we entered into negotiations with representatives
of the Eltmann, Germany plant employees. The negotiations seek
significant wage reductions and changes in work rules. These
negotiations are still in process as of the date of this report.
In
the
third quarter of 2007, we began the process to shift production to lower cost
facilities, thereby incurring costs for the production shifts and further
restructuring at the Eltmann facility, including actions leading to downsizing
that location. In addition, in the second quarter of 2007, we
incurred non-cash impairment charges related to the decision to begin shifting
production away from Eltmann. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
|
We
are
exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our
business due to use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting
in
various foreign currencies. To mitigate the exposure to these market
risks, we have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing
our management of financial market risks. We are exposed to changes
in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing
activities. At September 30, 2007, we had $64.5 million outstanding
under the domestic credit facilities and $40.0 million aggregate principal
amount of senior notes outstanding. See Note 9 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2007, a
one-percent increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding borrowings
under our credit facilities, which are subject to variable interest rates,
would
result in interest expense increasing annually by approximately $0.6 million.
Translation
of our operating cash flows denominated in foreign currencies is impacted by
changes in foreign exchange rates. We did not hold a position in any
foreign currency hedging instruments as of September 30, 2007.

Controls
and Procedures
|
Under
the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that
evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective as of September 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report.
There
have been no changes in this fiscal quarter in our internal control over
financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Legal
Proceedings
|
On
March
20, 2006, we, as well as numerous other parties, received correspondence from
the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting information regarding a
former waste recycling vendor previously used by us. The vendor has
since ceased operations and the EPA is investigating the clean up of the site
or
sites used by the vendor. As of the date of this report, we do not
know whether we have any liability related to this vendor’s actions or
estimatable range for any potential liability.
On
June
20, 2007, we, as well as numerous other parties, received correspondence from
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation notifying
us that we have been named as a potentially responsible party for the potential
clean up of a former waste recycling facility. As of the date of this
report, we do not know whether we have any liability related to this vendor’s
actions or estimatable range for any potential liability.
All
of
our other legal proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature and are
incidental to our operations. Management believes that such
proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on our business or financial condition or on the results of
operations.
