NOTE C — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and the requirements of FAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. FAS 141R was adopted prospectively by the Company, effective January 1, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption, and its effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to this statement.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132R-1, “Employers Disclosures about Post Retirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132R-1 provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance addresses disclosures related to the categories of plan assets and fair value measurements of plan assets. This Staff Position was adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2009 and had no effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” This FSP requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” Further, the FASB removed the subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from FAS 141R-1. The requirements of this FSP carry forward without significant revision the guidance on contingencies of FAS 141, “Business Combinations”, which was superseded by FAS 141R. The FSP also eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of possible outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, the FASB requires that entities include only the disclosures required by FAS No. 5. This FSP was adopted effective January 1, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption, and its effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to this statement.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company will adopt this FSP for its quarter ending June 30, 2009. There is no expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The components of inventory consist of the following:
 
                 
    March 31,

NOTE E — Shareholders’ Equity
 
At March 31, 2009, capital stock consists of (i) Serial Preferred Stock, of which 632,470 shares were authorized and none were issued, and (ii) Common Stock, of which 40,000,000 shares were authorized and 13,119,892 shares were issued, of which 11,676,368 were outstanding and 1,443,524 were treasury shares.
 
NOTE F — Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
 
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
 
                 
    Three Months Ended
 
    March 31,  
    2009     2008  
 
NUMERATOR
               
Net (loss) income
  $ (5,462 )   $ 3,482  
                 
DENOMINATOR
               
Denominator for basic earnings per share — weighted average shares
    10,950       11,153  
Effect of dilutive securities:
               
Employee stock options
    -0-       536  
                 
Denominator for diluted earnings per share — weighted average shares and assumed conversions
    10,950       11,689  
                 
Amounts per common share:
               
Basic
  $ (.50 )   $ .31  
Diluted
  $ (.50 )   $ .30  
 
Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
 
Pursuant to FAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” when a loss is reported the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of stock options and awards because doing so will result in anti-dilution. Therefore, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, basic weighted-average shares outstanding are used in calculating diluted earnings per share.
 
Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average price of the common shares are anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earning per share. Stock options on 56,250 shares were excluded in the three months ended March 31, 2008 because they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE L — Restructuring
 
In 2008, due to recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets along with the general economic downturn, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets in accordance with FAS 144. Based on the results of these tests, the Company recorded asset impairment charges. In addition, the Company made a decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer, Navistar, effective December 31, 2008 which along with the general economic downturn resulted in either the closure, downsizing or consolidation of eight facilities in its distribution network. The Company expects the restructuring activities to be completed in 2009. As a result, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $30,875, which were composed of $5,544 of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold, $1,758 for a loss on disposition of a foreign subsidiary, $564 of severance costs (80 employees) and $23,009 for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets.
 
The following table summarizes the activity associated with severance costs at March 31, 2009 and for the three-month period then ended:

NOTE M — Subsequent Events
 
On April 30, 2009, Chrysler LLC filed for bankruptcy protection under Title 11 of the United States Code. The impact of this bankruptcy is under review by management at this time. The Company’s sales to Chrysler for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $3.1 million, or approximately 2% of consolidated sales. Accounts receivable from Chrysler as of March 31, 2009 were $6.2 million. Approximately $5.6 million has been collected subsequent to March 31, 2009. The Company will cease shipments to Chrysler as a result of the announcement until such time that an agreement can be reached to ensure payments within guidelines established by the Uniform Commercial Code and Title 11 of the United States Code and other applicable statutes. In connection with its bankruptcy filing, Chrysler announced that most manufacturing operations will be temporarily idled until the bankruptcy process is complete.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based upon our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein; and in our report dated March 12, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Executive Overview
 
We are an industrial Total Supply Managementtm and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Managementtm, a proactive solutions approach that manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers’ manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation. Total Supply Managementtm includes such services as engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking, just-in-time and point-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of Supply Technologies are in the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, consumer electronics, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment, semiconductor equipment, plumbing, aerospace and defense, and appliance industries. Aluminum Products casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components such as front engine covers, cooling modules, pump housings, clutch retainers/pistons, control arms, knuckles, master cylinders, pinion housings, oil pans and flywheel spacers for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, injection molded rubber components, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs, sub-assemblers and end users in the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, automotive, oil and gas, rail and locomotive manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note B to the consolidated financial statements.
 
The domestic and international automotive markets were significantly impacted in 2008, which adversely affected our business units serving those markets. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets. The charges were composed of $.6 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $17.5 million for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $95.8 million and restructuring and asset impairment charges of $13.4 million associated with the decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer, Navistar, along with the general economic downturn. The charges were composed of $5.0 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $8.4 million for impairment of property and equipment, loss on disposal of a foreign subsidiary and severance costs. Impairment charges were offset by a gain of $.6 million recorded in the Aluminum Products segment relating to the sale of certain facilities that were previously written off.
 
Approximately 20% of the Company’s consolidated net sales were to the automotive markets in 2008. The recent deterioration in the global economy and global credit markets continues to negatively impact the automotive markets. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have encountered severe financial difficulty, which ultimately resulted in the bankruptcy of Chrysler and could result in bankruptcy for more of these domestic automobile manufacturers, which, in turn would adversely affect the financial condition of the Company’s automobile OEM customers. In 2009, the Company expects that its business, results of operations and financial condition will continue to be negatively impacted by the performance of the automotive markets. On April 23, 2009, General Motors announced the extended summer production shutdown for 13 assembly plants beginning on or after May 18, 2009 for up to 9 weeks. The extended production shutdowns at General Motors and Chrysler will significantly reduce production volumes in the second and third quarters of 2009.

Accounting Changes
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and the requirements of FAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. FAS 141R was adopted prospectively by the Company, effective January 1, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption, and its effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to this statement.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132R-1, “Employers Disclosures about Post Retirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132R-1 provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance addresses disclosures related to the categories of plan assets and fair value measurements of plan assets. This Staff Position was adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2009 and had no effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” This FSP requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” Further, the FASB removed the subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from FAS 141R-1. The requirements of this FSP carry forward without significant revision the guidance on contingencies of FAS 141, “Business Combinations”, which was superseded by FAS 141R. The FSP also eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of possible outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, the FASB requires that entities include only the disclosures required by FAS No. 5. This FSP was adopted effective January 1, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption, and its effects on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations subject to this statement.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company will adopt this FSP for its quarter ending June 30, 2009. There is no expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Net sales declined $85.8 million to $181.3 million in the first three months of 2009 compared to $267.1 million in the same period in 2008 as the Company experienced volume declines in each segment resulting from the challenging global economic downturn. Supply Technologies sales decreased 36% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy-duty truck industry resulting from the Company’s decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer and overall reduction in demand. Aluminum Products sales decreased 45% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting production ramp-up. Manufactured Products sales decreased 22% from the declining business environment.

Cost of products sold decreased $71.0 million to $157.4 million in the first three months of 2009 compared to $228.4 million in the same period in 2008, while gross margin decreased to 13.1% in the first three months of 2009 from 14.5% in the same period in 2008.
 
Supply Technologies gross margin decreased slightly, as increased product profitability improvements were offset by volume declines. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased primarily due to reduced volume from customers in the automotive industry. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment decreased primarily due to reduced sales volume.

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased 13% in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, representing a 2.8% increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses decreased in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to employee workforce reductions, salary cuts, reduction in volume of business and a reduction in pension income.

    6.30 %     7.71 %     (141 )   basis points
 
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to a lower average borrowing rate during the first three months of 2009. Average borrowings in the first three months of 2009 were essentially unchanged when compared to the same period in 2008. The lower average borrowing rate in the first three months of 2009 was due primarily to decreased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to the same period in 2008.

Income Tax:
 
The provision for income taxes was $.7 million in the first three months of 2009, a (15)% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $2.0 million provided in the corresponding period of 2008, a 36% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2009 will be approximately 48%.
 
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
 
Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. In 2003, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a group of banks which, as subsequently amended, matures at December 31, 2010 and provides for availability of up to $270 million subject to an asset-based formula. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at the Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus .75% to 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Under the revolving credit facility, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $173.9 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and approximately $27.1 million of unused borrowing availability.
 
Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based on the Company’s ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.
 
The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. It may also repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
 
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets may adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future. These market conditions may limit the Company’s ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to grow and maintain its business. Accordingly, the Company may be forced to delay raising capital, issue shorter tenors than the Company prefers or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase its interest expense, decrease its profitability and significantly reduce its financial flexibility. There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2009, further declines in demand in the automotive industry and in sales volumes in 2009 could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by the declines in demand in the automotive industry or the economy in general, they may not be able to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which would make the accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base.
 
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.63 at March 31, 2009 versus 2.22 at December 31, 2008. Working capital increased by $4.3 million to $257.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $252.9 million at December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

During the first three months of 2009, the Company used $7.0 million from operating activities compared to using $14.4 million in the same period of 2008. The increase in the operating cash provision of $7.4 million was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 (a decrease of $40.5 million compared to an increase of $35.0 million, respectively), primarily due to a decrease in sales compared to the prior quarter. This difference, plus a decrease in net income of $8.9 million and a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 (a decrease of $43.3 million compared to an increase of $16.8 million, respectively). In the first three months of 2009, the Company also used cash of $1.3 million for capital expenditures. These activities, plus cash interest and taxes payments of $3.3 million and a net increase in borrowing of $3.2 million, and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $.7 million resulted in a decrease in cash of $3.7 million in the first three months of 2009.
 
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. There are occasions whereupon we enter into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2009, none were outstanding. We currently have no other derivative instruments.
 
Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results
 
Our results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.
 
The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our business units. Such variability is particularly evident in the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Review By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2009, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and their report is included herein.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under our floating rate revolving credit agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $173.9 million at March 31, 2009. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.
 
Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $3.9 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.
 
The Company periodically enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the British Pound Sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At March 31, 2009, there were no such currency hedge contracts outstanding.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2009 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
 
We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
 
At March 31, 2009, we were a co-defendant in approximately 260 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 1,750 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These asbestos cases generally relate to production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.
 
In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from $25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought. To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the amount applies to claims against all named defendants.
 
There are only four asbestos cases, involving 23 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the four cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In three cases, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $3.0 million for four separate causes of action and $1.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million. In the other case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $20.0 million for three separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $20.0 million.
 
Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases on the basis that the plaintiff incorrectly sued one of our subsidiaries or because the plaintiff failed to identify any asbestos-containing product manufactured or sold by us or our subsidiaries. We intend to vigorously defend these asbestos cases, and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. However, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although our results of operations and cash flows for a particular period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Among the factors management considered in reaching this conclusion were: (a) our historical success in being dismissed from these types of lawsuits on the bases mentioned above; (b) many cases have been improperly filed against one of our subsidiaries; (c) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to us or our products or premises; (d) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any identifiable injury or compensable loss at all, that any injuries that they have incurred did in fact result from alleged exposure to asbestos; and (e) the complaints assert claims against multiple defendants and, in most cases, the damages alleged are not attributed to individual defendants. Additionally, we do not believe that the amounts claimed in any of the asbestos cases are meaningful indicators of our potential exposure because the amounts claimed typically bear no relation to the extent of the plaintiff’s injury, if any.
 
Our cost of defending these lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect its future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.
