CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Actual results and events could differ materially and adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including:

economic changes in global markets where we do business, such as reduced demand for products we sell, weakness in the housing and commercial real estate markets, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, interest rates, recession, foreign government policies and other external factors that we cannot control;

unanticipated fluctuations in commodity prices and raw material costs;

cyclical downturns affecting the global market for capital goods;

unexpected issues and costs arising from the integration of acquired companies and businesses;

marketplace acceptance of new and existing products including the loss of, or a decline in business from, any significant customers;

the impact of capital market transactions that we may effect;

the availability and effectiveness of our information technology systems;

unanticipated costs associated with litigation matters;

actions taken by our competitors, including new product introductions or technological advances, and other events affecting our industry and competitors;

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; and other domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance, such as the current substantial weakness in economic and business conditions and the stock markets as a whole; and

other risks and uncertainties including but not limited to those described in Item 1A-Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010 and from time to time in our reports filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of their respective dates, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

July 3, 2010

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2010, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 3, 2010, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010.

Recent accounting guidance changed the consolidation rules as they relate to variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). The guidance changed the model related to consolidating a VIE, and defines the assessment methodology for determining VIE status. The guidance was adopted by the Company as required at the beginning of fiscal 2010, and did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 1, 2011.

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year, and fiscal 2009 was a 53 week year with an additional week in the fiscal fourth quarter.

2. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Inventories

Cost for approximately 47% of the Company’s inventory is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method. The approximate percentage distribution between major classes of inventories was as follows:

	July 3, 2010	January 2, 2010
Raw Material and Work in Process	36%	34%
Finished Goods and Purchased Parts	64%	66%

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment by major classification was as follows:

	July 3, 2010			January 2, 2010

3. ACQUISITIONS

The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the dates of acquisition.

On April 6, 2010, the Company acquired CMG Engineering Group Pty, Ltd. (“CMG”) headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. CMG manufactures and distributes fractional horsepower industrial motors, blower systems, and industrial metal products with operations in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. The purchase price was approximately $83.5 million, including $74.7 million in cash, approximately $2.7 million in assumed liabilities and 100,000 shares of Company stock with a fair market value of $6.1 million. CMG has operations in both the Mechanical and Electrical segments.

Purchase price allocations for the CMG acquisition included adjustments for intangible assets, property and other working capital adjustments. The excess of purchase price over fair value was assigned to goodwill.

4.	INVESTMENTS

Investments are generally short term in duration and are classified as trading securities, which are reported at fair value with gains and losses, which were insignificant for all periods presented, included in earnings.

9. DEBT AND BANK CREDIT FACILITIES

The Company’s indebtedness as of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 was as follows (in thousands):

	July 3, 2010			January 2, 2010
Senior notes	$	250,000		$	250,000
Term loan		165,000			165,000
Revolving credit facility		-			2,863
Convertible Notes		470			39,198
Other		12,623			19,389
		428,093			476,450
Less: Current maturities		(1,515	)		(8,385	)
Non-current portion	$	426,578		$	468,065

At July 3, 2010, the Company has $250.0 million of Senior Notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. The Notes were sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and the purchasers of the Notes. The Notes were issued and sold in two series: $150.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche A, due August 23, 2014, and $100.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche B, due August 23, 2017. The Notes bear interest at a margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which margin varies with the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the Agreement. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. The Agreement permits the Company to issue and sell additional note series, subject to certain terms and conditions described in the Agreement, up to a total of $600.0 million in combined Notes.

The Company also has a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) with certain financial institutions, whereby the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $165.0 million. The Term Loan matures in June 2013, and borrowings generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) a margin over LIBOR, which margin varies depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) the alternate base rate as defined in the agreement. At July 3, 2010, the interest rate of 1.3% was based on a margin over LIBOR.

The Company’s $500.0 million revolving credit facility (“Facility”) permits the Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR, which margin varies with the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Facility. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. The Company pays a commitment fee on the unused amount of the Facility, which also varies with the ratio of total debt to EBITDA as defined in the Facility.

The Notes, the Term Loan, and the Facility require the Company to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of July 3, 2010.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. (See also Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of July 3, 2010, the Company has only $0.5 million of Convertible Notes that remain outstanding. The Company exercised its right to call these remaining bonds, which resulted in bondholders exercising their conversion right. As a result, bondholders will receive the principal amount of the notes in cash, with the balance of the conversion obligation, if any, to be satisfied in shares of the Company’s common stock or cash, at the Company’s discretion. During the first six months of 2010, several bondholders exercised their conversion right for a total of $38.7 million of Convertible Notes. The par value of $38.7 million was paid in cash, and 906,736 shares of common stock were issued for the conversion premium.

The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes at July 3, 2010 was approximately $1.0 million and the carrying value was $0.5 million. The estimated fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs as described in Note 16 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement.

At July 3, 2010, additional notes payable of approximately $12.6 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%.

10. PENSION PLANS

The Company’s net periodic defined benefit pension cost is comprised of the following components (in thousands):

	Three Months Ending						Six Months Ending
	July 3, 2010			June 27, 2009			July 3, 2010			June 27, 2009
Service cost	$	1,172		$	578		$	2,344		$	1,156
Interest cost		3,468			1,592			6,937			3,184
Expected return on plan assets		(3,131	)		(1,414	)		(6,262	)		(2,828	)
Amortization of prior service cost		94			49			188			98
Amortization of net actuarial loss		1,127			188			2,255			376
Net periodic benefit expense	$	2,730		$	993		$	5,462		$	1,986

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost during the 2010 fiscal year is $2.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company contributed $0.4 million and $0.5 million to defined benefit pension plans, respectively. The Company expects to contribute an additional $1.0 million, for total contributions of $1.9 million in 2010. The Company contributed a total of $10.1 million in 2009. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s pension plans and in the target investment allocation have remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010.

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company recognized approximately $1.7 million and $1.2 million in share-based compensation expense for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the six month period ending July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was $3.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The total excess income tax benefit recognized relating to share-based compensation for the six months ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was approximately $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense on grants of share-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each award. As of July 3, 2010, total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was approximately $15.1 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 3.7 years.

The Company was authorized as of July 3, 2010 to deliver up to 5.0 million shares of common stock upon exercise of non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, or upon grant or in payment of stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. Approximately 1.7 million shares were available for future grant or payment under the various plans at July 3, 2010.

On May 22, 2009, the Company completed the sale of 4,312,500 shares of common stock at a price of $36.25 per share to the public. Net proceeds of approximately $150.5 million were received by the Company.

Share-based Incentive Awards

The Company uses several forms of share-based incentive awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). All grants are made at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant dates, and expire ten years from the grant date. The Company values restricted stock awards at the closing market value of its common stock on the date of grant and restrictions generally lapse three years after the date of grant.

The majority of the Company’s annual share-based incentive awards are made in the fiscal second quarter. The per share weighted average fair value of share-based incentive awards granted in the May 2010 annual grant was $22.88. The fair market value of the awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.0%; expected dividend yield of 1.1%; expected volatility of 35.4%, and an estimated life of 7.0 years.

A summary of share-based awards (options and SARs) as of July 3, 2010 follows below. Forfeitures of share-based awards were immaterial.

	Shares	Wtd. Avg. Exercise Price	Wtd. Avg. Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Number of shares:
Outstanding	1,593,050	$43.49	7.4	$20.4
Exercisable	611,100	36.64	5.8	11.5

Restricted Stock

As of July 3, 2010, the Company had 188,850 shares of restricted stock outstanding with a weighted average grant date fair value of $52.92 and a weighted average life of 2.6 years. The Company values restricted stock awards at the closing market value of its common stock on the date of grant and restrictions generally lapse three years after the date of the grant. In the first six months of 2010 there were 101,950 shares of restricted stock granted, and 29,300 shares of restricted stock vested.

12. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 3, 2010 was 31.9% versus 28.0% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 3, 2010, was 31.8% versus 30.9% in the prior period. The changes in the effective rates are driven by changes in the global distribution of income.

As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Company had approximately $6.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect its effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Federal tax returns from 2006 through 2009 and various state tax returns remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

The numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation. The denominator is computed as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ending				Six Months Ending
	July 3, 2010		June 27, 2009		July 3, 2010		June 27, 2009
Denominator for basic EPS - weighted average		38,310		33,256		37,878		32,357
Effect of dilutive securities		644		1,849		918		1,493
Denominator for diluted EPS		38,954		35,105		38,796		33,850

The “Effect of dilutive securities” represents the dilution impact of equity awards and the Convertible Notes (see Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes was approximately 0.2 million shares and 1.6 million shares for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. The dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes was approximately 0.5 million shares and 1.2 million shares of the six month period ending July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 respectively.

Options for common shares where the exercise price was above the market price at July 3, 2010, and June 27, 2009 totaling approximately 0.3 million and 1.0 million shares, have been excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities as the effect of such options is anti-dilutive.

14.CONTINGENCIES

On July 30, 2009, the Company filed a response and counterclaims to an action filed by Nordyne, Inc. (“Nordyne”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in which action Nordyne is seeking a judgment declaring that neither Nordyne’s G7 furnace systems nor its iQ Drive 23-seer air conditioning systems infringe on our ECM (electronically commutated motor) systems patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,592,058) (“the ‘058 Patent”) and/or that the ‘058 Patent is invalid. In our response and counterclaims against Nordyne we are seeking a judgment that the ‘058 Patent is valid and that Nordyne has, in fact, infringed and continues to infringe the ‘058 Patent by making, using, offering for sale and selling it G7 furnace systems and iQ Drive 23-seer air conditioning systems. We have also requested the U.S. District Court to enjoin Nordyne and all persons working in concert with Nordyne from further infringement of the ‘058 Patent and to award us compensatory and other damages caused by such infringement. We intend to defend our intellectual property vigorously against the claims asserted by Nordyne and against any infringement by Nordyne or any other person. We do not currently believe that the litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

The Company is, from time to time, party to litigation that arises in the normal course of its business operations, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, employment and other litigation matters. The Company’s products are used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications that subject us to claims that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. The Company accrues for anticipated costs in defending against such lawsuits in amounts that we believe are adequate, and the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such lawsuit will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk, currency exchange, and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Forward contracts on certain currencies are entered into to manage forecasted cash flows in certain foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate borrowings.

The Company must recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Accordingly, the Company designates commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities, currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cash flows and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. There were no significant collateral deposits on derivative financial instruments as of July 3, 2010.

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or changes in market value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in current earnings.

At July 3, 2010, the Company had an additional ($0.4) million, net of tax, of derivative losses on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that will be realized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. At June 27, 2009, the Company had an additional ($7.8) million, net of tax, of derivative losses on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that was realized in earnings when the hedged items impacted earnings.

As of July 3, 2010, the Company had outstanding the following commodity forward contracts (with maturities extending through June 2012) to hedge forecasted purchases of commodities (in millions):

	Notional Amount
Copper	$100.9
Aluminum	4.7
Zinc	0.6
Natural Gas	0.6
Heating Oil	0.4

The net AOCI balance of ($29.4) million loss at July 3, 2010 includes ($10.5) million of net current deferred losses expected to be realized in the next twelve months.

16. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or

		Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or

		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The Company uses the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 (in millions):

Assets:	July 3, 2010		January 2, 2010

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Item 2 to “we”, “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer collectively to Regal Beloit Corporation and its subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

The global economy and particularly the U.S. economy showed strong growth in the second quarter of 2010. Sales of high efficiency products, particularly for HVAC and commercial refrigeration end markets, which are supported by the net economic impact to the end user and, in certain cases, are supported by tax credits and other subsidies continued to show strong growth rates. During the second quarter we experienced difficulties meeting some of our demand due to supply chain disruptions. In an effort to mitigate the impact on our customers, we incurred significant incremental costs. These costs included qualifying new vendors, plant labor inefficiencies, and expedited transportation.

Net sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 increased 28.5% to $584.2 million from $454.6 million in the comparable period of 2009. Sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 included $28.7 million of incremental sales from the CMG business acquired in 2010.

Net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation increased 153.6% to $41.7 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $16.5 million in the comparable period last year. Diluted earnings per share increased 127.7% to $1.07 for the three months ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $0.47 for the comparable period of 2009.

2010 versus 2009

Three Months Ended July 3, 2010

Worldwide sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 were $584.2 million, a 28.5% increase over the $454.5 million reported for the three months ended June 27, 2009. Sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 included $28.7 million of incremental sales from the CMG business acquired in 2010.

In the Electrical segment sales increased 28.4% over the prior year period. Excluding the acquired CMG business, Electrical segment businesses sales increased 23.2% over 2009. Sales for the residential HVAC motor business increased 21.1% during 2010 as compared to the second quarter 2009 driven by higher efficiency product mix which was supported by tax credits. Driven by improving end markets, commercial and industrial motor sales in North America for the three months ended July 3, 2010 increased 19.7% over sales for the three months ended June 27, 2009. Global generator sales increased 22.2% for the three months ended July 3, 2010 as compared to the prior year.

Sales in the Mechanical segment increased 29.8% from the prior year period driven by $7.8 million of sales from the CMG acquisition. Excluding the sales of the 2010 acquired CMG Mechanical segment businesses, sales increased 13.3% over 2009.

From a geographic perspective, excluding the acquired CMG business, Asia-based sales increased 42.5% as compared to 2009. In total, sales to regions outside of the United States were 31.7% of total sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 as compared to 26.6% in 2009. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased total sales by 0.6% for the three months ended July 3, 2010 as compared to the prior year period. Sales of high efficiency products were 18.3% of total sales in the three months ended July 3, 2010 versus 19.7% in the prior year period.

Six Months Ended July 3, 2010

Worldwide sales for the three months ended July 3, 2010 were $1,091.5 million, a 21.6% increase over the $897.8 million reported for the six months ended June 27, 2009. Sales for the six months ended July 3, 2010 included $28.7 million of incremental sales from the businesses acquired in 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flow which we target to equal or exceed our net income. In addition to operating income, other significant factors affecting our liquidity management include: working capital levels, capital expenditures, dividends, acquisitions, availability of debt financing and the ability to attract long-term capital at acceptable terms.

Our working capital was $682.1million at July 3, 2010, an increase of 1.8% from $670.3 million at year-end 2009. At July 3, 2010 our current ratio, the ratio of our current assets to current liabilities, was 2.8:1 versus 3.2:1 at the previous year-end.

Cash flow provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) was $99.7 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010, a ($25.8) million decrease from 2009. The decrease reflects higher net income which was more than offset by a reduction in the cash provided from working capital. During 2009, significant cash was provided by inventory reductions.

Cash flow used in investing activities was ($150.4) million for the first six months of 2010, ($130.6) million more than in 2009 driven by business acquisitions of ($75.9) million. The net cash used in purchasing investment securities was ($56.3) million in 2010.

Cash flow used in financing activities for the first six months of 2010 was ($58.0) million in 2010 compared to cash flow provided of $119.3 million in 2009. The change is driven by the $150.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of stock in 2009.

At July 3, 2010, the Company had $250.0 million of Senior notes (“the Notes”) outstanding. The Notes were sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and the purchasers of the Notes. The Notes were issued and sold in two series: $150.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche A, due August 23, 2014, and $100.0 million in Floating Rate Series 2007A Senior Notes, Tranche B, due August 23, 2017. The Notes bear interest at a margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which margin varies with the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the Agreement. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. The Agreement permits the Company to issue and sell additional note series, subject to certain terms and conditions described in the Agreement, up to a total of $600.0 million in combined Notes.

The Company’s $500.0 million revolving credit facility, (“the Facility”) permits the Company to borrow at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR, which margin varies with the ratio of senior funded debt (total debt excluding convertible debt) to EBITDA, as defined in the Facility. These interest rates also vary as LIBOR varies. We pay a commitment fee on the unused amount of the Facility, which also varies with the ratio of senior funded debt to EBITDA.

The Company has entered into a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) with certain financial institutions, whereby the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $165.0 million. The Term Loan matures in June 2013, and borrowings under the Term Loan generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) a margin over the LIBOR, which margin varies depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) the alternate base rate as defined in the agreement. At July 3, 2010, the interest rate of 1.3% was based on a margin over LIBOR.

The Notes, the Term Loan and the Facility require us to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of July 3, 2010.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010. Updated information on the Company’s use of derivative financial instruments is contained in Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are exposed to market risk relating to the Company’s operations due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices of purchased raw materials. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, commodity cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on certain of its short-term and long-term debt obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. At July 3, 2010, net of interest rate swaps, we had $259.4 million of fixed rate debt and $168.7 million of variable rate debt, the latter subject to interest rate risk. As a result, interest rate changes impact future earnings and cash flows assuming other factors are constant. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from exposure to interest rate risk on forecasted variable rate interest payments.

A hypothetical 10% change in our weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding variable rate debt at July 3, 2010, would result in a change in after-tax annualized earnings of approximately $0.1 million.

The Company periodically enters into commodity futures and options hedging transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities, such as copper and aluminum. Contract terms of commodity hedge instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation.

We are also exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the utilization of foreign currency contracts to manage our exposure on the transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. Contracts are executed with creditworthy banks and are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars.

All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in each accounting period. An ineffective portion of the hedge’s change in fair value, if any, is recorded in earnings in the period of change. The impact due to ineffectiveness was immaterial for all periods included in this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that (a) information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (b) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Items 4 and 5 are inapplicable and have been omitted.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 30, 2009, we filed a response and counterclaims to an action filed by Nordyne, Inc. (“Nordyne”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in which action Nordyne is seeking a judgment declaring that neither Nordyne’s G7 furnace systems nor its iQ Drive 23-seer air conditioning systems infringe on our ECM (electronically commutated motor) systems patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,592,058) (“the ‘058 Patent”) and/or that the ‘058 Patent is invalid. In our response and counterclaims against Nordyne we are seeking a judgment that the ‘058 Patent is valid and that Nordyne has, in fact, infringed and continues to infringe the ‘058 Patent by making, using, offering for sale and selling it G7 furnace systems and iQ Drive 23-seer air conditioning systems. We have also requested the U.S. District Court to enjoin Nordyne and all persons working in concert with Nordyne from further infringement of the ‘058 Patent and to award us compensatory and other damages caused by such infringement. We intend to defend our intellectual property vigorously against the claims asserted by Nordyne and against any infringement by Nordyne or any other person. We do not currently believe that the litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

The Company is, from time to time, party to litigation that arises in the normal course of our business operations, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, employment and other litigation matters. The Company’s products are used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications that subject us to claims that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. The Company accrues for anticipated costs in defending against such lawsuits in amounts that we believe are adequate, and the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such lawsuit will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The business and financial results of the Company are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties have not changed materially from those reported in Item 1A in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2010.
