Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 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, 2008 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. 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 and 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, 2008 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009.
The Company has experienced a significant loss of revenue and has sustained significant losses of income during the global economic downturn that began to impact the Company in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is continuing as of the date of this report. As a result, the Company has sustained a significant weakening of its financial
condition. Additionally, the Company is dependent on the continued provision of financing from its revolving credit lenders and its fixed rate lender in order to remain solvent. The lenders have set revised covenant levels that provide little flexibility in the case that the Company’s projections are not met. Furthermore, our lenders have not yet set covenant levels for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 and these covenants will be set at the discretion of the lenders. There
is a substantial risk that if projections are not achieved, the lenders may not amend the credit agreements, which would accelerate the due date of the loans, putting the Company in default. We believe that it is unlikely that new lenders could be found to replace the existing lenders in case of an uncured default. In such situation, the Company would be technically insolvent and would need to seek a recapitalization of the Company. If such transaction could not be successfully
completed, the Company would most likely have to file for protection under bankruptcy laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Although management believes that fundamental business prospects for the Company are positive, there can be no assurance that the current financial projections can be met or that recapitalization could be achieved.
The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2009 or any other future periods.
Note 2. Restructuring Charges and Other
On November 26, 2008, we announced the closure of our precision steel ball manufacturing facility located in Kilkenny, Ireland. The closure affected 68 employees and is expected to be completed in 2009. During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we recorded restructuring charges of $542 related to site closure costs
and relocation of equipment and inventory from this location to other facilities within the Metal Bearing Components Segment. The following summarizes the 2009 activity related to this closure:

Included within the severance and other employee cost accrual is a receivable from the Irish government of approximately $174 to reimburse the Company for a portion of the severance cost paid to date.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Hamilton, Ohio plant was closed. This closure affected 11 employees and $130 in severance and other associated closure cost were incurred during the first quarter of 2009. Of this amount, $108 was for employee severance cost which was paid out entirely in the second quarter of 2009.
Note 3. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. SFAS 157 applies whenever another U.S. GAAP 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. The adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities was deferred until January 1, 2009. We prospectively implemented the provisions of SFAS 157 that pertain to non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009 and this has had no effect on our income from operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") which replaces SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. However,
SFAS No. 141R provides for the following changes from SFAS No. 141: an acquirer will record 100% of assets and liabilities of acquired business, including goodwill, at fair value, regardless of the level of interest acquired; certain contingent assets and liabilities will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date; contingent consideration will be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date with changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings upon settlement; acquisition-related transaction
and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred; reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties will be recognized in earnings; and when making adjustments to finalize preliminary accounting, acquirers will revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information in future financial statements to reflect any adjustments as if they occurred on the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2009, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms, and size of the acquisitions, if any, consummated after January 1, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1, "Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1"). This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, " to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting
periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have adopted the additional disclosures required by FSP 107-1 within this quarterly report.
In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The new standard expands
disclosures for assets held by employer pension and other postretirement benefit plans. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 will not affect the company’s financial position or results of operations.

On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 requires companies, if applicable, to recognize in their financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed
at the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 also states that subsequent events related to conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date may need to be disclosed. Finally, SFAS 165 requires the entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS 165 is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The Company’s evaluation of subsequent events is disclosed within Footnote 13 “Commitments and Contingencies”.
Note 8. Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Debt

The company has reclassified its long-term debt as current for the period ended June 30, 2009 primarily because certain of the financial covenants with the lenders are not yet defined for the period ending June 30, 2010. The credit agreements were amended in the first quarter of 2009 with a revised set of financial covenants as
described below. At that time, due to the uncertainty in the economy and the global recession, the lenders defined certain of the covenants (i.e., the Capitalization Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, and the Minimum EBITDA) for periods ending June 30, 2010 and after, to be determined in the sole discretion of the lenders, after consultation with the company. Since the covenant levels are not yet known, the company cannot be assured that it will be in compliance as of June 30, 2010. Additionally,
the existing covenant levels provide limited leeway for unfavorable financial performance. Therefore, the debt will be shown as current until such time as the definitive covenant levels are determined at a level consistent with our forecasts.
During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into an amended and restated $90,000 revolving credit facility maturing September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. In
addition to the reduction in availability, the interest rate will be LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. The financial and non-financial covenants have been amended to relax certain financial covenants and the facility is now secured by assets of the company in addition to pledges of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries. Finally, the new agreement places greater restrictions on our usage of cash flows including prohibiting
share repurchases, dividends and investments and/or acquisitions without the approval of credit facility participants and until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenant levels. We incurred $2,642 in debt issue cost during the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to the amended and restated facility. In addition, $143 in unamortized debt issuance costs from the original facility were eliminated during the first quarter of 2009.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2009, the senior note agreement was amended. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. The term, principal balance, and principal payment schedule all remain the same as the
original agreement. The interest rate was increased from 4.89% to 8.50%. In addition, the financial and non-financial covenants were amended and additional collateralization and restrictions on usage of cash flows were added to the agreement in line with the amended $90,000 revolving credit facility. We incurred $575 in debt issue cost during the first quarter of 2009 related to the amended facility. In addition, $461 in unamortized debt issuance costs from the
original facility were eliminated during the first quarter of 2009.
Effective June 30, 2009, an amendment was added to both the revolving credit facility and the senior note agreement to adjust the capital expenditure limit by excluding $0.9 million of capital projects funded by customer advances and to waive a technicality related to a weekly reporting requirement.
In relation to entering into the amended and restated credit agreements mentioned above, we forecasted reduced levels of revenue and cash flow based on our recent sales levels, current economic conditions, published economic forecasts and input from our major customers. These forecasts were used to set new financial and operating covenants
in our amended credit facilities through March 31, 2010. However, further deterioration of market conditions and sales levels in excess of our forecasts for revenue and cash flow could result in the Company failing to meet these covenants which could cause a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial position. After the credit agreements were amended as discussed above, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the amended and restated $90,000 credit facility and the amended
and restated $40,000 senior notes as of June 30, 2009. We can provide no assurances we will be in compliance with the existing covenants for the remainder of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. The specific covenants to which we are subject are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Note 9. Goodwill
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 are as follows:

The goodwill balance is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter and more often if circumstances require. The financial impact, on the remaining reporting unit with a goodwill balance, from the global economic downturn, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, was consistent with the
forecasted results used in testing for impairment at December 31, 2008. Thus, as of June 30, 2009, there are no further indications of impairment. However, depending on the severity and the longevity of the future impacts of the global economic downturn, we could have an impairment in goodwill at this reporting unit in the future.

Not included in the Precision Metal Components Segment above is an intangible asset not subject to amortization of $900 related to the value of the trade names of Whirlaway.
Within the Metal Bearing Components Segment the intangible asset is a contract intangible. This intangible asset was subject to amortization over approximately 5 years starting in 2006 and amortization expense was to approximate $500 for each of the five years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the amortization
expense totaled $143 and $280, and accumulated amortization totaled $1,865 at June 30, 2009.
Note 11. Stock Compensation
In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $106 and $198 in 2009 and $330 and $645 in 2008, respectively, of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. On March 25, 2009, the Company granted 232,000 options to the non-executive
directors, officers and certain other key employees.
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.

Note 12. Provision for Income Taxes
During the second quarter of 2009, based on the recent negative financial performance of our U.S. operations during the global economic downturn, we determined that there is a likelihood the U.S. locations would be unable to generate sufficient profits in the near future to allow realization of existing deferred tax assets. Consequently,
during the quarter, a valuation reserve was placed on the deferred tax assets related to the U.S. operations in the amount of $5,478 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The determination to place a valuation allowance on the tax benefits incurred by our U.S. based operations was made based upon the fact that second quarter and cumulative 2009 results of
these entities was much more unfavorable than originally forecasted. Given the magnitude of the incurred and expected losses from these entities for the remainder of 2009, we determined that it was prudent not to recognize any deferred tax benefits and fully reserve the existing deferred tax assets at June 30, 2009. If U.S. operations return to a level of profitability sufficient to utilize these deferred tax assets they will used to offset future U.S. based taxable income. Once
we determine that this is more likely than not, a deferred tax benefit will be recognized.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of negative 28% and 0%, respectively, was mainly due to the valuation allowance placed on deferred taxes at our U.S. locations as discussed above. In addition, we did not recognize
realized tax benefits at four international locations in which we operate due to existing valuation reserves placed on the tax benefits of these foreign locations. The tax benefits not recognized due to the foreign valuation allowances totaled $497 and $847, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. We determined, prior to 2009, that it is more likely than not that these locations would be unable
to generated sufficient profits in the future to allow realization of the deferred tax assets. Finally, the effective rate was impacted by non-U.S. based earnings taxed at lower rates. The statutory and effective income tax rates in many of the foreign countries in which we operate are lower than the U.S. federal rate.
As of June 30, 2009 and for the remainder of 2009, we will only be recognizing taxable benefits from expected losses at two European locations due to valuation allowances placed on expected tax benefits at all other foreign and U.S. operating units. We do not foresee any significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits within
the next twelve months.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
There has been no change in the status of our potential liability regarding Alternate Energy Resources, Inc., a former waste recycling vendor used by our former Walterboro, South Carolina facility and other potential responsible parties. As of the date hereof, we do not know the amount of our allocated share, if any, of the cost
of remediation. However, we believe our contribution to the remediation of the site, if any, would be approximately 1.083% or less of the volume of waste sent to the facility and we assert that our waste was non-hazardous.
All other legal matters 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.
During the third quarter of 2009, we informed our employees of the Veenendaal plant of our intention to begin a reorganization of the plant’s labor force due to the economic downturn, which could ultimately result in as much as a 25% reduction in employment levels at the plant. Approximately 60 employee would be impacted if
phase one of the reorganization is successful, with a corresponding severance charge of up to $3.0 million expected to be taken in the third quarter of 2009. As of the date of this report, talks are ongoing and no agreement has been reached regarding this reorganization.
Due to the impacts of the global economic downturn and the resulting reduction in revenue and operating losses, certain of our European subsidiaries may reach a point of technical insolvency or illiquidity over the coming months. If this occurs, local laws could require the subsidiaries to file for bankruptcy unless the company
provides additional support in the form of financial guarantees or unless external funding is secured. The company believes that in the event of the bankruptcy of any of the European subsidiaries, there could be a temporary disruption of normal product flow to customers, but that it is unlikely that such an event would have a long-term significant impact given the current level of excess capacity within the company’s European plants.
We have evaluated the existence of both recognized and unrecognized subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report, August 7, 2009, and have deemed no adjustments or additional disclosures are necessary.

Note 14. Property Plant and Equipment
During the first quarter of 2009, the land and building of the former Hamilton, Ohio Plant of the Precision Metal Components Segment was sold for proceeds of $508, which resulted in no gain or loss from sale.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Veenendaal, The Netherlands facility (part of the Metal Bearing Components Segment) disposed of excess land with a book value of $1,610 for proceeds of $5,628 and a resulting gain of $4,018 ($2,995, after tax).
Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term borrowings is calculated by use of a discounted cash flow analysis factoring in current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements under our credit profile. The current market borrowing rates are Level 2 inputs under the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy. The

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Risk Factors
Our risk factors are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 under Item 1.A. “Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes to these risk factors since December 31, 2008 except for the “Potential for default on long-term debt; risk of insolvency” risk discussed
below.
Potential for default on long-term debt; risk of insolvency
The Company has experienced a significant loss of revenue and has sustained significant losses of income during the global economic downturn that began to impact the Company in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is continuing as of the date of this report. As a result, the Company has sustained a significant weakening of its financial
condition. Additionally, the Company is dependent on the continued provision of financing from its revolving credit lenders and its fixed rate lender in order to remain solvent. The lenders have set revised covenant levels that provide little flexibility in the case that the Company’s projections are not met. Furthermore, our lenders have not yet set covenant levels for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 and these covenants will be set at the discretion of the lenders. There
is a substantial risk that if projections are not achieved, the lenders may not amend the credit agreements, which would accelerate the due date of the loans, putting the Company in default. We believe that it is unlikely that new lenders could be found to replace the existing lenders in case of an uncured default. In such situation, the Company would be technically insolvent and would need to seek a recapitalization of the Company. If such transaction could not be successfully
completed, the Company would most likely have to file for protection under bankruptcy laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Although management believes that fundamental business prospects for the Company are positive, there can be no assurance that the current financial projections can be met or that recapitalization could be achieved.
Economic Impacts on the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, sales were at historically low levels. Excluding the effects of exchange rates, for the three and six month periods sales were down approximately 50% as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and sales in both quarters of 2009 were approximately
25% lower than the sales in the fourth quarter of 2008. We believe that approximately two thirds of our reduction in sales during the first six months of 2009, compared to the first six months of 2008, was related to demand in the end markets we ultimately serve. In particular in the first half of 2009, our largest customer experienced year over year organic demand reduction of 25% in the divisions to which we sell.
We believe the remainder of the reduction in sales from first half 2008 to first half 2009, approximately one third, was due to reduction in overall inventory levels throughout the supply chain. In most cases, we are several tiers down the supply chain from the ultimate customer. Thus, we are affected by our customers’
and their customers’ order patterns. We believe those companies that are higher in the supply chain have reduced production and order levels to control their inventory balances. This supply chain inventory reduction has had further negative effect on our production and sales levels. We refer to this as the “de-stocking effect.” We are not certain how long this current de-stocking process within the supply chain will last. Until the
excess inventory in the supply chain is reduced, we believe our sales and production levels will be further depressed beyond any reductions in end market demand.
The reduction in sales volume was the main cause of the net losses of $13.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. In response to the sales decrease, we focused more aggressively on reducing costs and expenses. However, a significant portion of our cost structure
cannot be reduced in the short term. In particular, at our manufacturing locations in Western Europe it is very difficult to reduce employment levels in line with reductions in sales and production volumes. In these locations, we have limited production costs by scheduling the production facilities on rolling shutdowns and by temporarily allowing workers not to report to work under existing government programs. In addition to the reduction in sales volume, the net income
of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was further impacted by a $5.5 million valuation allowance placed on all US based deferred tax assets and related current year tax benefits from incurred losses.

Net Sales. The two thirds of the volume losses were estimated to be due to reduction in end market demand in the markets we serve and an estimated one-third of the volume reduction was due to an overall inventory decrease within the supply chain. In addition, sales
were lower as the values of Euro denominated sales have decreased approximately 13% relative to the U.S. Dollar from the second quarter of 2008. Changes related to price/mix and material pass through were all normal in nature although such changes had less of an impact given the depressed sales levels.
Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The majority of the decreases were due to the same sales volume reductions mentioned above. However, cost of products sold decreased by only 44% from the second quarter of 2008 versus the sales
decrease of 53%. While many of our production costs adjust with reductions in sales and production, a portion of our production costs is fixed in nature or cannot be reduced without incurring additional significant restructuring costs. This issue was exacerbated by the $7.7 million reduction in inventory during the quarter which was achieved by keeping production levels lower than sales levels. Additionally, current production levels are much lower than capacity. Any
costs from under utilization of capacity and fixed production costs are expensed in the period incurred.
The main driver of the fixed component of costs was labor costs at Western European locations. We actively reduced labor cost considering local and national labor rules and regulations of the countries in which we operate. In addition, the aforementioned devaluation of the Euro reduced Euro based production costs. Production
costs were further reduced by the effects of planned cost reduction projects. Despite the lower sales and production levels, we continue to achieve results from planned cost reductions at levels consistent with management expectations. Finally, cost of product sold increased by the effects of inflation in material and other cost although the inflation levels are much lower than in prior quarters.
17
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The majority of the reduction was from wage cost reductions. The wage cost reductions were achieved through a combination of salary cuts ranging from 10% to 20%, elimination of bonuses opportunities for 2009 and employment
reductions. In addition, discretionary expenses were reduced company wide.
Depreciation and Amortization. These costs were lower due to devaluation of Euro denominated cost relative to the U.S. Dollar which accounted for approximately one third of the decline. The remainder was due to lower depreciation and amortization from the effects
of the year end 2008 impairments and accelerated depreciation of certain intangible assets and fixed assets and due to lower spending on capital expenditures in 2009.
Interest expense. Interest expense was higher due to increases in the interest rate spread charged on our LIBOR credit facility and our senior notes. The interest rate was increased upon amending our credit facilities on March 13, 2009. In addition, we
are amortizing $0.3 million more of capitalized loan costs into interest expense each quarter related to the amended loan facilities.
Restructuring and impairment charges. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $0.1 million of restructuring cost related to the closures of the Kilkenny Plant. (See Footnote 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Gain on disposal of assets: The second quarter of 2008 included a gain for sale of excess land at our Veenendaal, The Netherland facility totaling $4.0 million.
Provision for income taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of negative 28% was mainly due to the valuation allowance placed on deferred taxes at our U.S. locations of $5.5 million. The
majority of the impact from this valuation allowance was recorded under “Other Reconciling Items” within our segment disclosure (See Footnotes 5 and 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, we did not recognize realized tax benefits at four international locations in which we operate due to existing valuation reserves placed on the tax benefits of these locations. Finally, the effective rate was impacted by non-U.S. based earnings taxed at
lower rates. The statutory and effective income tax rates in many of the foreign countries in which we operate are lower than the U.S. federal rate.

The majority of the sales decrease in dollar terms was at our European operations of the segment, although all geographic areas experienced sales reductions ranging from 20% to 62% compared to the second quarter of 2008. As discussed above, the segment was impact by both lower demand in the industries we serve as well as de-stocking
through out the supply chain. The devaluation of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar of 13% further negatively impacted sales.
18
The segment net loss was impacted primarily by the large reduction in sales volume and the related production inefficiencies and under-utilization of fixed production costs. The impact of fixed costs and under utilization of production capacity is more pronounced in this segment given that a large portion of our installed capacity
is in Western Europe, where it is more difficult to reduce labor cost in line with customer demand. Partially offsetting these negative effects were reductions in production costs from planned cost reduction projects and reductions in salaries, bonus opportunities, travel, and other discretionary costs.

The majority of the decrease was due to much lower U.S. automotive and industrial market demand in the second quarter of 2009. In addition, sales were negatively impacted by de-stocking within the supply chain.
The reduced sales volume and related production inefficiencies and under utilization of fixed production costs were the main causes of the segment loss in the first quarter 2009. Planned cost reduction projects, net of inflation, and reductions in selling and administration cost partially offset the volume impacts. Additionally,
the segment net loss was higher as tax benefits from losses incurred in 2009 at this segment were not recognized due to valuation allowances being placed on the related deferred tax assets totaling $0.9 million.

The volume reduction for this segment was also related to lower U.S. automotive and industrial end market demand and lower customer orders from supply chain de-stocking.
Segment net income was negatively affected by the volume decreases and related costs from under utilization of fixed production cost and manufacturing inefficiencies from such a large decrease in utilized production capacity. Additionally, the segment net loss was higher as tax benefits from losses incurred in 2009 at this segment
were not recognized due to valuation allowances being placed on the related deferred tax assets totaling $0.7 million.

Net Sales. The sales levels experienced in the second quarter of 2009 are very similar to those experienced in the first quarter of 2009. Thus, the estimated two thirds reduction in end market demand and estimated one third de-stocking were the main drivers of the
lower sales levels year to date. Excluding currency effects, second quarter 2009 sales were 3% lower than first quarter 2009 sales due to lower sales volumes into the European and U.S. industrial end markets during the first two months of the quarter.
Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The majority of the decrease was due to the same sales volume reductions mentioned above partially offset by planned cost reduction projects, net of inflation. The cost of products sold as a percentage
of sales was slightly less in the second quarter of 2009 versus the first quarter of 2009 due to better second quarter utilization of fixed cost from higher production levels and increased levels of savings on planned cost reduction projects.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The majority of the reduction was from wage cost reductions. The wage cost reductions were achieved through a combination of salary cuts ranging from 10% to 20%, elimination of bonuses opportunities for 2009, and headcount
reductions. In addition, discretionary expenses were reduced company wide.
Depreciation and Amortization. These costs were lower due to devaluation of Euro denominated cost relative to the U.S. Dollar which accounted for approximately 40% of the decline. The remainder was due to lower depreciation and amortization from the effects of the
year end 2008 impairments and accelerated depreciation of certain intangible assets and fixed assets and due to lower spending on capital expenditures in 2009.
20
Restructuring and impairment charges. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $0.1 and $0.7 million of restructuring cost related to the closures of the Kilkenny Plant and the Hamilton Plant. (See Footnote 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
Provision for income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of 0% was mainly due to the valuation allowance placed on deferred taxes at our U.S. locations totaling $5.5 million. (See
Footnote 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, we did not recognize realized tax benefits at four international locations in which we operate due to existing valuation reserves on the tax benefits of these locations. Finally, the 2009 effective rate was impacted by non-U.S. based earnings taxed at lower rates. The statutory and effective income tax rates in many of the foreign countries in which we operate are lower than the U.S. federal rate. The
2008 effective rate was impacted by the one-time benefit of reducing certain deferred tax liabilities at our Italian subsidiary.

Similar to the second quarter 2009 comparison to second quarter 2008, the majority of the sales decrease in dollar terms, during the first half of 2009, was in our European operations of the segment, although all geographic areas experienced sales reductions ranging from 29% to 62% compared to the first half of 2008. Additionally,
it is estimated that one third of this segment’s sales were reduced due to de-stocking with in the supply chain of our customers The devaluation of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar of 14% further negatively impacted sales. The reductions were partially offset by favorable sales mix of higher priced precision ball and roller products and passing through material inflation.
The segment net loss was impacted primarily by the large reduction in sales volume and the related production inefficiencies and under-utilization of fixed production costs. During the second quarter of 2009, the cost impacts from the production inefficiencies and under-utilization of production capacity were not as pronounced
given higher levels of savings from planned cost reduction projects and increased production experienced during this quarter. Additionally, these negative effects were partially offset by reductions in salaries, bonus opportunities, travel, and other discretionary costs.

The volume reduction for this segment was also related to lower U.S. automotive and industrial end market demand and lower customer orders from supply chain de-stocking.
Segment net income was negatively affected by the volume decreases and related costs from under utilization of fixed production cost and manufacturing inefficiencies. Additionally, the segment net loss was higher as tax benefits from losses incurred in 2009 at this segment were not recognized due to valuation allowances being placed
on the related deferred tax assets totaling $0.7 million.
Changes in Financial Condition
From December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009, our total assets and current assets decreased $34.6 million and $27.9 million, respectively. The appreciation in the value of Euro denominated account balances relative to the U.S. Dollar caused total assets and current assets to increase approximately $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively,
from December 31, 2008. Factoring out the foreign exchange effects, accounts receivable was lower by $6.3 million due to decreased sales volume in the second quarter 2009 from the fourth quarter 2008 and due to timing of certain customer payments. Inventories were lower by $17.0 million from planned reductions in inventory levels due to the approximately 50% reduction in sales volumes and to maximize cash flow and liquidity. Factoring out foreign exchange effects, property, plant
and equipment decreased $7.0 million as year to date capital spending was lower than depreciation and a building with a net book value of $0.5 million was disposed of in the first quarter of 2009 at no gain or loss.
22
From December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009, our total liabilities decreased $12.2 million. The appreciation in the value of Euro denominated account balances relative to the U.S. Dollar caused total liabilities to increase approximately $0.5 million from December 31, 2008. Factoring out the foreign exchange effects, accounts
payable was down $12.9 million due to much lower production and purchasing levels in response to the approximately 50% reduction in product demand in first and second quarters of 2009 and due to timing of payments to certain vendors. Finally, current liabilities were lower due to the reduction in payroll accruals from lower employment levels and usage of accrued hours and vacation accruals to minimize labor cost.
Working capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable and inventories offset by accounts payable, was negative $45.5 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $61.3 million at December 31, 2008. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities deceased from 1.97:1 at December 31, 2008 to .68:1 at June 30, 2009. The
decrease in working capital was due primarily to reclassifying $92.8 million of previously classified long-term debt to current liabilities. (See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding the current maturities of long-term debt and cash and cash equivalents, working capital decreased by $10.9 million due to the $6.3 million decrease in accounts receivable balances, the $17.0 million decrease in inventory levels offset by the $12.9 million decrease in accounts
payable all discussed above.
Cash flow provided by operations was $0.7 million for 2009 compared with cash flow provided by operations of $6.3 million for 2008. The unfavorable variance in cash flow from operations was due to the large loss incurred in first half 2009 from the approximately 50% reduction in sales volume. Partially offsetting this
impact was the favorable effects from reducing net working capital in first half of 2009 versus increasing net working capital in the first half of 2008. The working capital reductions, as discussed above, were in response to the approximately 50% reduction in sales volume and to maintain liquidity during the economic downturn.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Amounts outstanding under our $90.0 million credit facility and our $40.0 million senior notes as of June 30, 2009 were $70.3 million and $28.6 million, respectively. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective June 30, 2009, an amendment was added to both the revolving credit facility and
the senior note agreement to adjust the capital expenditure limit by excluding $0.9 million of capital projects funded by customer advances and to waive a technicality related to a weekly reporting requirement. After the credit agreements were amended, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the amended and restated $90,000 credit facility and the amended and restated $40,000 senior notes as of June 30, 2009. We can provide no assurances we will be in compliance with the existing
covenants for the remainder of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. The specific covenants to which we are subject are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The company has reclassified its long-term debt as current for the period ended June 30, 2009 primarily because certain of the financial covenants with the lenders are not yet defined for the period ending June 30, 2010. The credit agreements were amended in the first quarter of 2009 with a revised set of financial covenants as
described below. At that time, due to the uncertainty in the economy and the global recession, the lenders defined certain of the covenants (i.e., the Capitalization Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, and the Minimum EBITDA) for periods ending June 30, 2010 and after, to be determined in the sole discretion of the lenders, after consultation with the company. Since the covenant levels are not yet known, the company cannot be assured that it will be in compliance as of June 30, 2010. Additionally,
the existing covenant levels provide limited leeway for unfavorable financial performance. Therefore, the debt will be shown as current until such time as the definitive covenant levels are determined at a level consistent with our forecast.
During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into an amended and restated $90,000 revolving credit facility maturing September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. In
addition to the reduction in availability, the interest rate will be LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. The financial and non-financial covenants have been amended to relax certain financial covenants and the facility is now secured by assets of the company in addition to pledges of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries. Finally, the new agreement places greater restrictions on our usage of cash flows including prohibiting
share repurchases, dividends and investments and/or acquisitions without the approval of credit facility participants and until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenant levels. We incurred $2,642 in debt issue cost during the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to the amended and restated facility. In addition, $143 in unamortized debt issuance costs from the original facility were eliminated during the first quarter of 2009.
23
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2009, the senior note agreement was amended. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. The term, principal balance, and principal payment schedule all remain the same as the
original agreement. The interest rate was increased from 4.89% to 8.50%. In addition, the financial and non-financial covenants were amended and additional collateralization and restrictions on usage of cash flows were added to the agreement in line with the amended $90,000 revolving credit facility. We incurred $575 in debt issue cost during the first quarter of 2009 related to the amended facility. In addition, $461 in unamortized debt issuance costs from the
original facility were eliminated during the first quarter of 2009.
In relation to entering into the amended and restated credit agreements mentioned above, we forecasted reduced levels of revenue and cash flow based on our recent sales levels, current economic conditions, published economic forecasts and input from our major customers. These forecasts were used to set new financial and operating covenants
in our amended credit facilities through March 31, 2010. However, further deterioration of market conditions and sales levels in excess of our forecasts for revenue and cash flow could result in the Company failing to meet these covenants which could cause a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial position.
Even though we have sufficient availability to borrow under our existing credit agreements at this time, we have experienced a significant loss of revenue and have sustained significant losses of income during the global economic downturn that began to impact the Company in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is continuing as of the date of this
report. As a result, we have sustained a significant weakening of our financial condition. Additionally, we are dependent on the continued provision of financing from our revolving credit lenders and our fixed rate lender in order to remain solvent. The lenders have set revised covenant levels that provide little flexibility in the case that our projections are not met. Furthermore, our lenders have not yet set covenant levels for the quarter ending June
30, 2010 and these covenants will be set at the discretion of the lenders. There is a substantial risk that if projections are not achieved, the lenders may not amend the credit agreements, which would accelerate the due date of the loans, putting the Company in default. We believe that it is unlikely that new lenders could be found to replace the existing lenders in case of an uncured default. In such situation, the Company would be technically insolvent and would need to seek
a recapitalization of the Company. If such transaction could not be successfully completed, the Company would most likely have to file for protection under bankruptcy laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Although management believes that fundamental business prospects for the company are positive, there can be no assurance that the current financial projections can be met or that recapitalization could be achieved.
Many of our locations use the Euro as their functional currency. In 2009, the fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar unfavorably impacted revenue and increased the value of assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2009, 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.
We have spent the majority of planned capital expenditures for 2009 totaling $3.7 million as of June 30, 2009, of which $0.9 million was provided by customers to cover the start up of new product lines. We believe that funds generated from operations, if any, and borrowings from the credit facilities will be sufficient to finance
our working capital needs through June 2010.
Seasonality and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results
Historically, our net sales in the Metal Bearing Components Segment have been of a seasonal nature due to the fact that a significant portion of our sales are to European customers that have significantly slower production during the month of August.
24
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, 2008, 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 six month period ended June 30, 2009 was adoption of SFAS 157 related to accounting for non-financial assets and liabilities under fair value. SFAS 157 had
no effect on the financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009.
The goodwill balance is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter and more often if circumstances require. The financial impact, on the remaining reporting unit with a goodwill balance, from the global economic downturn, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, was consistent with the
forecasted results used in testing for impairment at December 31, 2008. Thus, as of June 30, 2009, there are no further indications of impairment. However, depending on the severity and the longevity of the future impacts of the global economic downturn, we could have an impairment in goodwill at this reporting unit in the future.
Item 3. 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 June 30, 2009, we had $70.3 million outstanding under our variable rate revolving credit facilities and $28.6 million fixed rate senior notes outstanding. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At June 30, 2009, a one-percent increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding variable rate borrowings would result in interest
expense increasing annually by approximately $0.7 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 June 30, 2009.
Item 4. 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, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There have been no changes in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There has been no change in the status of our potential liability regarding Alternate Energy Resources, Inc., a former waste recycling vendor used by our former Walterboro, South Carolina facility and other potential responsible parties. As of the date hereof, we do not know the amount of our allocated share, if any, of the cost of remediation. However, we believe our contribution to the remediation of the site, if any, would be approximately 1.083% or less of the volume of waste sent to the facility and we assert that our waste was non-hazardous.
25
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.
Item 1.A. Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Our risk factors are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 under Item 1.A. “Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes to these risk factors since December 31, 2008 except for the “Potential for default on long-term debt; risk of insolvency” risk discussed
below.
Potential for default on long-term debt; risk of insolvency
The Company has experienced a significant loss of revenue and has sustained significant losses of income during the global economic downturn that began to impact the Company in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is continuing as of the date of this report. As a result, the Company has sustained a significant weakening of its financial
condition. Additionally, the Company is dependent on the continued provision of financing from its revolving credit lenders and its fixed rate lender in order to remain solvent. The lenders have set revised covenant levels that provide little flexibility in the case that the Company’s projections are not met. Furthermore, our lenders have not yet set covenant levels for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 and these covenants will be set at the discretion of the lenders. There
is a substantial risk that if projections are not achieved, the lenders may not amend the credit agreements, which would accelerate the due date of the loans, putting the Company in default. We believe that it is unlikely that new lenders could be found to replace the existing lenders in case of an uncured default. In such situation, the Company would be technically insolvent and would need to seek a recapitalization of the Company. If such transaction could not be successfully
completed, the Company would most likely have to file for protection under bankruptcy laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Although management believes that fundamental business prospects for the company are positive, there can be no assurance that the current financial projections can be met or that recapitalization could be achieved.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on May 21, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the record date for the meeting, there were 16,267,924 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. There were present at said meeting, in person or by proxy, stockholders holding 9,667,653 shares
