Nature
of Business
|
Sypris is
a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. The
Company performs a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design, testing,
and other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts
with corporations and government agencies in the markets for truck components
& assemblies and aerospace & defense electronics.

|
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Sypris
or the Company), and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all
material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for
the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results for the three and nine
months ended October 4, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended
December 31, 2008 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (ASC 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the Codification or ASC) as the official single source of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing
accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included
in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also
includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance
organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the
Codification.
Following
the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of
Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.
Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) which will serve to
update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and
provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the
Codification.
The
Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is
organized and presented. The Codification is effective for the
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended
October 4, 2009, and the principal
impact on the financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future
references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in
accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to
the Codification, the Company is providing the Codification cross-reference
alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the
adoption of the Codification.
5
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, now
referred to as ASC 820. The objective of ASC 820 is to increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand
disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair
value measurements. ASC 820 was effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB agreed to
defer the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The
adoption of ASC 820 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
adoption of ASC 820
for non-financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2009,
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment to ARB No. 51, now
included within ASC 810 Consolidation. ASC
810 requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as
equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the equity of
the parent company. ASC 810 further requires that consolidated net
income be reported at amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling
interest, rather than expensing the income attributable to the minority interest
holder. This update also requires that companies provide sufficient
disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners, including a
disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements for income attributable to
the noncontrolling interest holder. The adoption of this update did
not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, now included within ASC
815. ASC 815 applies to all derivative instruments and nonderivative
instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and requires
entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about
(a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC 815 and its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this update did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s disclosures included in its consolidated
financial statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (ASC
350-30-65-1). This update amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The adoption of this
update on January 1, 2009 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
disclosures included in its consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities
(ASC 260-10-65). This update addresses whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions may be participating securities
prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation
in computing basic earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method
described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share. A share-based payment award that contains a
non-forfeitable right to receive cash when dividends are paid to common
shareholders irrespective of whether that award ultimately vests or remains
unvested shall be considered a participating security as these rights to
dividends provide a non-contingent transfer of value to the holder of the
share-based payment award. Accordingly, these awards should be
included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class
method. The guidance in this update is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those years. Under the terms of the Company’s restricted stock
awards, grantees are entitled to receive dividends on the unvested portions of
their awards. There is no requirement to return these dividends in
the event the unvested awards are forfeited in the
future. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the impact of ASC
260-10-65 and determined that the impact was not material and determined the
basic and diluted earnings per share amounts, as reported, are equivalent to the
basic and diluted earnings per share amounts calculated under ASC
260-10-65.
In
April 2009, the FASB staff issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments (ASC 320-10-65). This update amends
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about
fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as
in annual financial statements. This update also amends Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require these disclosures in all interim financial
statements. The adoption of this update as of October 4, 2009 did not
have a material impact on disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
6
In
April 2009, the FASB staff 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 (ASC
820-10-65). This
update provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with
FAS 157 when the
volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly
decreased. This update also includes guidance on identifying
circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly (i.e., a forced
liquidation or distressed sale). The adoption of this update as of
October 4, 2009 did
not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, now
referred to as ASC 855, which establishes general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC
855 provides guidance on the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted ASC 855
during the second quarter of 2009, and its application had no impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated
subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were
issued, which was November 17, 2009.

Discontinued
Operations
|
As of
October 4, 2009, the Company determined that, pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (ASC 205-20-45), the assets and liabilities
of its Test & Measurement segment met the criteria for held for
sale. Accordingly, the results of the Test & Measurement segment
have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations for all periods presented. In accordance with the
provisions of ASC 205-20-45-6
(formerly Allocation of
Interest to Discontinued Operations EITF 87-24), interest expense
incurred on the debt required to be repaid from the net proceeds of the sale has
been allocated to discontinued operations. During the three and nine
months ended October 4, 2009, interest expense allocated to discontinued
operations was $850,000 and $2,261,000, respectively, based on the $34,000,000
in debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction. During
the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, interest expense allocated
to discontinued operations was $515,000 and $1,631,000,
respectively. The Company completed the sale of Test &
Measurement during the fourth quarter of 2009. See Note 17

Dana
Claim
|
On
March 3, 2006, the Company’s largest customer, Dana Corporation
(“Dana”), and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On
August 7, 2007, the Company entered into a comprehensive settlement
agreement with Dana (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve all outstanding
disputes between the parties, terminate previously approved arbitration payments
and replace three existing supply agreements with a single, revised contract
running through 2014. In addition, Dana provided the Company with an
allowed general unsecured non-priority claim in the face amount of $89,900,000
(the “Claim”).
Sypris
and Dana conducted a series of negotiations during the period beginning March 3,
2006 and ending on the settlement date of August 7, 2007. The
negotiations covered a wide range of commercial issues including compliance with
the terms and conditions of past contractual matters and establishing terms and
conditions for a new long-term supply agreement. Throughout these
negotiations, Sypris developed and maintained a discounted cash flow valuation
methodology to determine the potential economic impact to Sypris of each
commercial issue under negotiation and to assign a value to each
issue. The discounted cash flow valuation used the expected annual
net cash flow from each commercial issue over the specific time period
associated with the issue. The commercial issues were tracked and
valued individually, however the Company summarized the commercial issues into
the following elements:
1.
|
Pricing
concessions on future shipments of certain parts under a new supply
agreement;
|
2.
|
The
transfer of future production for certain parts from Sypris to
Dana;
|
3.
|
Dana’s
obligation under prior supply agreements to transfer the production of
certain parts from Dana to
Sypris;
|
4.
|
Dana’s
obligation under prior supply agreements to transfer contractual
production volumes for certain parts from Dana to Sypris;
and
|
5.
|
A commitment by
Sypris to relocate certain assets among Sypris’ existing facilities
related to the production of certain parts under a new supply
agreement.
|
The Claim
provided to Sypris was agreed to by Sypris and Dana as consideration for the
aggregate economic impact of the various elements the two parties were
negotiating. The Settlement Agreement did not specifically set forth
values attributable to each of the above defined elements, nor did Sypris and
Dana enter into any formal agreement as to the allocation of the
Claim. Therefore, after the aggregate Claim value of $89,900,000 was
established, Sypris allocated the aggregate Claim value to each commercial issue
included under the five defined elements based upon the estimated net present
values determined by Sypris’ internal valuation methodology.
8
Sypris
recorded the Claim at the estimated fair value on August 7, 2007 in accordance
with ASC 845-10 (formerly known as APB 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions). Since Dana was still in bankruptcy at that
date, the estimated fair value for the Claim was calculated by estimating the
aggregate residual value of Dana (the “Dana Residual Value”) available to all
unsecured claim holders in the bankrupt Dana estate in relation to the aggregate
amount of eligible unsecured claims (the “Eligible Claims”), which included
Sypris’ Claim for $89,900,000. The Dana Residual Value was calculated
by applying a peer-group based market multiple to Dana’s expected earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring charges
(EBITDAR), as adjusted for certain specific values associated with Dana’s
Chapter 11 restructuring plan to arrive at a gross enterprise value. Dana’s
anticipated net debt, convertible preferred shares and minority interests were
deducted from gross enterprise value to arrive at the Dana Residual
Value. Sypris initially estimated the Dana Residual Value at
$2,556,800,000 and the Eligible Claims at $3,000,000,000. The ratio
of Dana Residual Value to Total Claims of 85% ($2,556,800,000 divided by
$3,000,000,000) represented the expected recovery rate for the Eligible
Claims. Sypris applied the estimated 85% recovery rate to its Claim
of $89,900,000, resulting in an estimated fair value of $76,483,000 for the
Claim.
Sypris
allocated the estimated fair value of $76,483,000 to the commercial issues under
each of the five elements related to the Claim. Sypris established the criteria
for revenue recognition of each element of the Claim in accordance with ASC
605-10-99 (formerly known as Staff Accounting Bulletin
104, Revenue
Recognition). In
accordance with ASC 605-10-99, each of those items which required the Company’s
continued involvement was deferred and will be recognized over the applicable
period of the involvement.
The claim
entitled the Company to receive an initial distribution of 3,090,408 shares of
common stock in Dana, the right to participate in additional distributions of
reserved shares of common stock of Dana if certain disputed matters are
ultimately resolved for less than Dana’s reserves for those matters (estimated
by the Company to represent an additional 739,000 shares) and the right to
receive a distribution of cash of $6,891,000.
Dana
emerged from bankruptcy on January 31, 2008, and on
February 1, 2008, the newly issued shares of Dana Holding Corporation
began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. On
February 11, 2008, the Company received its initial distribution of
common stock (3,090,408 shares), and on March 18, 2008 the Company received its
cash distribution totaling $6,891,000. On April 21, 2008,
July 30, 2008 and October 10, 2008, the Company received
114,536, 152,506 and 384,931 of Dana common shares, respectively.
The
aforementioned cash distribution of $6,891,000 was recorded as a reduction in
the Company’s $76,483,000 recorded fair value basis in the Claim. The
remaining balance of the $69,592,000 was equivalent to approximately $18.17 per
share of Dana common stock, based on the number of Dana shares that the Company
expected to receive in consideration for the Claim. This amount
represented the Company’s cost basis in the initial distribution of Dana common
stock and the stock to be received as consideration for the
Claim. For the first quarter of 2008, the $69,592,000 was allocated
on a pro rata basis as follows: $56,162,000 was attributed to an initial
distribution of 3,090,408 shares received by the Company on February 11,
2008, and the remaining $13,430,000 was attributed to the expected subsequent
distribution of approximately 739,000 shares. For the second quarter
of 2008, the remaining $13,430,000 in recorded fair value was further allocated
on a pro rata basis as follows: $2,081,000 was attributed to 114,536 additional
shares actually received on April 21, 2008 and the remaining $11,349,000
was attributed to the expected subsequent distribution of approximately 624,000
shares. For the third quarter of 2008, the remaining $11,349,000 in
recorded fair value was further allocated on a pro rata basis as follows:
$2,771,000 was attributed to 152,506 additional shares actually received on July
30, 2008 and the remaining $8,578,000 was attributed to the expected subsequent
distribution of approximately 472,000 shares. All of these
allocations were based on $18.17 per share – the Company’s estimated cost basis
in the shares based on the fair value of the claim when received and affirmed by
the court. There was no change in the number of shares expected to be
received in the aggregate during this period. As of October 4, 2009,
the Company has received approximately 98% of the total common shares it expects
to receive.
At the
end of each of the first three quarters of 2008, the Company analyzed whether
declines in the quoted market prices of Dana common stock were temporary or
“other-than-temporary,” in accordance with the factors outlined in ASC 820-10
(formerly known as SFAS No. 157) and ASC 320-10-99 (formerly known as SAB Topic
5M). Based on those factors, the Company determined these declines to
be temporary during the first three quarters of 2008, and accordingly, the
Company reported the differences between Dana’s stock price on the last day of
each quarter and the initial estimated fair value of $18.17 as “other
comprehensive loss” for that quarter. As a result, the carrying value
of the investment at the end of each fiscal quarter was recorded at the fair
market value at each respective date in accordance with ASC 320-10 (formerly
known as SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities).
9
During
the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company initially continued to believe that the
severe turmoil in the financial markets was a temporary phenomenon and that Dana
stock in particular had been speculatively oversold in a manner that did not
reflect its fundamental value, which was still believed to be supportive of the
Company’s recorded value of $18.17 per share. When the Company
received an additional distribution of 384,931 shares of Dana stock on October
10, 2008, $6,995,000 of the remaining $8,578,000 in recorded value was
attributed to those shares, while the final $1,583,000 in recorded value was
attributed to the approximately 87,000 in additional shares (which the Company
still expects to receive).
As the
fourth quarter progressed, the financial markets continued to decline and Dana
announced that it was revising its 2008 earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) outlook down approximately 40% from its
Plan of Reorganization and projected significantly lower revenues for 2009 than
previously disclosed. The market reacted negatively to this news and
Dana’s stock price had plummeted to $0.74 per share by the end of
December. As a result of the severity and duration of the decline in
fair value of the Dana stock and the financial condition and near-term prospects
of Dana, the Company determined that its investment in Dana common stock was
other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2008. Accordingly,
the Company recorded a $66,758,000 impairment charge during the fourth
quarter. The non-cash impairment was based on Dana’s closing stock
price of $0.74 per share on December 31, 2008.
At
October 4, 2009, the
cost basis and fair value of the Company’s holdings of Dana common stock
amounted to $2,769,000 and $22,641,000, respectively. In accordance
with ASC 320-10, the $19,872,000 increase in value was recorded as an unrealized
holding gain, net of taxes of $3,500,000, in other comprehensive loss for the
first nine months of 2009 (See Note 13).
At
October 4, 2009, the
Company’s right to participate in additional distributions of Dana common stock,
presently estimated to be 87,000 additional shares, is carried at $64,000 in
other assets. Had these shares been received at October 4, 2009, the
Company would have recorded an additional $462,000 unrealized holding gain to
other comprehensive loss.
During
the fourth quarter 2009, the Company liquidated its holdings in Dana common
stock for approximately $21,024,000 in net cash proceeds. The Company
recognized a gain of approximately $18,255,000 on the sale (See Note
17).

Restructuring,
Impairments and Other Nonrecurring
Charges
|
As
announced during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company committed to a
restructuring program, which included the closure of its Kenton and Marion, Ohio
facilities and the integration of its Electronics Group
subsidiaries. The purpose of the restructuring program is to reduce
fixed costs, accelerate integration efficiencies, exit certain unprofitable
product lines and significantly improve operating earnings on a sustained
basis. The restructuring activities are expected to result in
$25,000,000 in annual savings. The activities generating the expected
savings are from the following: i) annual savings of $12,500,000 from facility
closings, ii) annual savings of $7,500,000 from operational efficiencies
expected to begin during the third quarter of 2009, iii) annual savings of
$3,000,000 from product costing changes implemented during the first quarter of
2009, and iv) annual savings of $2,000,000 from various quality improvement
initiatives expected to be implemented by the fourth quarter of
2009. The Company expects to substantially complete its program by
early 2010. As a result of these initiatives, in 2008, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge of $45,086,000, or $2.45 per
share. For the three and nine months ended October 4, 2009, the
Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1,528,000, or $0.08 per share and
$5,241,000, or $0.28 per share, respectively. Of the $1,528,000
recorded in the third quarter, $675,000 was recorded within the Industrial Group
and $853,000 was recorded within the Electronics Group. Of these
costs, $165,000 was for severance and benefit-related costs, $209,000 related to
equipment relocation costs, $278,000 represented non-cash impairment costs and
$876,000 represented other costs, primarily related to IT and process
reengineering consultants. Of the $5,241,000 recorded in the first
nine months of 2009, $3,376,000 was recorded within the Industrial Group and
$1,865,000 was recorded within the Electronics Group. Of these costs,
$1,037,000 was for severance and benefit-related costs, $1,298,000 related to
equipment relocation costs, $1,150,000 represented non-cash impairment costs and
$1,756,000 represented other costs, primarily related to IT and process
reengineering consultants. Of the aggregate $51,631,000 of pre-tax
costs for the total program, the Company expects $13,997,000 will be cash
expenditures, the majority of which has been spent at October 4,
2009.
10
The total
pre-tax costs of $51,631,000 expected to be incurred includes $22,408,000 within
the Industrial Group and $29,223,000 within the Electronics
Group. The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of
$1,304,000 as outlined in the table below, including approximately $1,103,000
within the Industrial Group and $200,000 within the Electronics
Group.

and benefit-related costs tied to workforce reductions were recorded in
accordance with ASC 420-10 (formerly known as SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities and SFAS No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits). Under ASC 420-10, one-time
termination benefits that are conditioned on employment through a certain
transition period are recognized ratably between the date employees are
communicated the details of the one-time termination benefit and their final
date of service. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2,723,000 in
2008, $1,037,000 in the first nine months of 2009 and expects to record an
additional $118,000 during the remainder of 2009.
11
The
Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in
accordance with ASC 360-10-35 (formerly known as SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). The Company’s strategic
decision to close certain facilities and transfer production among other
facilities led to a $12,181,000 non-cash impairment charge in 2008 and a
$1,150,000 non-cash charge in the first nine months of 2009. The
charges were based on the excess of carrying value of certain assets not
expected to be redeployed over their respective fair value. Fair
values for these assets were determined based on appraisals and discounted cash
flow analyses. The additional charges in 2009 were for assets
originally expected to be redeployed to other locations but later determined to
not be economically feasible to move. For assets to be redeployed to
other Company locations, the Company incurred $239,000 in relocation costs in
2008, $1,298,000 in the first nine months of 2009 and expects to incur $238,000
in additional costs during the remainder of 2009 and early 2010. The
Company had originally estimated that total relocation costs would approximate
$4,179,000. However, the Company determined that it would not be
economically feasible to relocate certain equipment, and these assets were later
impaired.
Forecasted
volumes for one of the Company’s link encryption products was significantly
reduced during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to revised demand estimates from
the National Security Agency. The Company had incurred and deferred
over $20,000,000 in pre-contract costs since 2005. Based on this
revision in demand, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $16,102,000 in
2008 to write off a portion of these deferred contract costs in accordance with
ASC 605-35 (formerly known as Statement of Position No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type Contracts). Additionally, as a result of
integration efforts within the Electronics Group and the exit from certain other
non-core product lines, the Company recorded non-cash inventory charges totaling
$7,895,000 for inventory determined to be excess or obsolete as of
December 31, 2008.
Asset
retirement obligations recorded during 2008 relate to the expected closure of
two Industrial Group facilities. Although the Company is indemnified
for major environmental conditions that existed prior to the acquisition of
these facilities, certain other matters, including emptying residual chemicals
from remaining storage tanks, purging operating pipelines within the facilities,
and filling pits following the relocation of strategic operating equipment to
other facilities, remain the responsibility of the Company. Such
costs are estimated to be $1,500,000, of which $60,000 was expended during the
first nine months of 2009.
In
connection with the Company’s restructuring, certain property under operating
leases ceased being used during the fourth quarter of 2008. Aggregate
discounted lease payments and a $915,000 lease termination payment made in the
second quarter of 2009 were accrued in 2008 in accordance with
ASC 420-10-25 (formerly SFAS No. 146). Total lease
contract termination costs amounted to $3,209,000 for 2008.

Loss
Per Common Share
|
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 260-10-65 (formerly known as
FSP EITF 03-6-1). This update addresses determinations as to
whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are
participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in
the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the
two-class method described in ASC 260-10-45 (formerly paragraphs 60 and 61 of
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share). Restricted
stock awards granted to employees contain nonforfeitable dividend rights and,
therefore, are now considered participating securities in accordance with
ASC 260-10-65. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the impact of
ASC 260-10-65 and determined that the impact was not material and
determined the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts, as reported, are
equivalent to the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts calculated under
ASC 260-10-65.

Investment
in Marketable Securities
|
The
Company’s investment in marketable securities consists exclusively of shares in
Dana common stock. The Company’s investment in Dana common stock is
classified as an available-for-sale security in accordance with ASC 320-10-25 (formerly known
as SFAS No. 115) and measured at fair
value as determined by a quoted market price (a level 1 valuation under ASC
820-10, formerly known as SFAS No. 157). The related
unrealized holding gains are excluded from operations and recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance
sheets. At October 4, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
the Company owned 3,742,381 common shares of Dana with a market value of $6.05
per share and $0.74 per share, respectively. At
October 4, 2009, the gross unrealized gain was approximately
$19,872,000. There were no unrealized gains or losses at
December 31, 2008. Realized gains and losses and declines
in value judged to be other-than-temporary will be included in other expense, if
and when recorded. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the fair value
of the shares was valued based on quoted market prices in active markets for
identical shares at October 4, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.

In March
2009, the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes were amended to,
among other things, i) waive the
defaults as of December 31, 2008, ii) limit total borrowings, iii) revise the
maturity date for the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes to January 15, 2010, iv)
revise certain financial covenants, v) restrict the payment of dividends, vi)
require mandatory prepayment to the extent that marketable securities or other
collateral is sold, and vii) increase the interest rate
structure. Maximum borrowings on the Revolving Credit Agreement were
$50,000,000, and standby letters of credit up to a maximum of $15,000,000 may be
issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement of which $2,274,000 were issued
at October 4, 2009.
As a
result of the aforementioned modifications, the Company deferred $652,000 of
loan costs, which are being amortized from other assets in the consolidated
balance sheets.
On
October 26, 2009, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Agreement
and Senior Notes agreements. The Loan Amendment extends the maturity
date of the Revolving Credit Agreement from January 15, 2010 through
January 15, 2012, while the Note Amendments implement the same maturity date for
the Senior Notes. The Company used certain net proceeds from the sale
of the Test & Measurement business and of the Company’s holdings of Dana
Holding Corporation common stock to reduce the lending commitments under the
Revolving Credit Agreement from $50,000,000 to approximately $20,965,000 and
under the Senior Notes from $30,000,000 to approximately
$13,305,000. The Amendments substituted new financial covenants
regarding: quarterly minimum net worth and liquidity levels, cumulative
quarterly “EBITDAR” levels (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and restructuring costs), cumulative quarterly fixed charge ratios
and cumulative quarterly debt to EBITDAR ratios, among others. The
Amendments also commit the Company to obtain the consent of the Banks and the
Noteholders before making any dividend payments and impose certain fees and
interest rate increases. To the extent that marketable securities or
other collateral is sold outside of the ordinary course of business, the
Amendments also provide for certain prepayments to the Banks and the
Noteholders. In accordance with ASC 470-10-45
(formerly known as SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term
Obligations Expected to be Refinanced), the Company has classified
previously scheduled current maturities, in the amount of $34,270,000, as
long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheet as of October 4, 2009.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The
provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and
periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty
liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance
sheets, as of October 4, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $407,000 and
$438,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty expense for the nine
months ended October 4, 2009 and September 28, 2008 was
$136,000 and $433,000, respectively.
Additionally,
the Company sells three and five-year extended warranties for one of its link
encryption products. The revenue from the extended warranties is
deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual term. As of
October 4, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had
deferred $1,183,000 and $476,000, respectively, related to extended warranties,
which is included in other liabilities in the accompanying balance
sheets.
The
Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for
certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance
programs and a self-insured employee health program. The Company
records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information
provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience,
expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle
unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related
liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become
necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The
Company believes that its present insurance coverage and level of accrued
liabilities are adequate.
15
The
Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the
normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot,
at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein,
management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
As of
October 4, 2009, the
Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $14,621,000,
primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing
equipment. As of October 4, 2009, the
Company also had outstanding letters of credit of $2,274,000 primarily under a
captive insurance program.
(13)
|
Income
Taxes
|
The
provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign
taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period
due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be
generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for
its domestic operations at a statutory rate of 35% and for its foreign
operations at a statutory rate of 28%. The Company’s foreign
operations are also subject to minimum income taxes in periods where positive
cash flows exceed taxable income. In the third quarter of 2009,
minimum income taxes were required for the Company’s foreign
operations. Reconciling items between the federal statutory rate and
the effective tax rate also include state income taxes, valuation allowances,
intraperiod tax allocations and certain other permanent
differences.
Generally,
the amount of tax expense or benefit allocated to continuing operations is
determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or
loss, such as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). However, an exception
to the general rule is provided when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing
operations and pre-tax income from other categories in the current
year. In such instances, income from other categories, such as OCI,
must be considered in allocating the aggregate tax provision for the period
among the various categories. The intraperiod tax allocation rules in
ASC 740-20 (formerly known as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes)
related to items charged directly to OCI can result in deferred tax
assets or liabilities that remain in OCI until certain events
occur. Income tax benefit related to continuing operations for the
three and nine months ended October 4, 2009 includes a benefit of
$3,500,000 due to the required intraperiod tax
allocation. Conversely, OCI for the three and nine months ended
October, 4, 2009 includes a charge of $3,500,000 related to the
unrealized gain on marketable securities (see Note 8 and Note 15).
The
Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their
reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly known
as SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes). These temporary differences will result in
taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of
assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that
a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or
a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company
evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation
allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the
Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and
negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to
determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on the Company’s
current forecast, a valuation allowance of $2,401,000 and $9,387,000 was
recorded through earnings for the three and nine months ended October 4, 2009,
respectively; however, there can be no assurances that the Company’s forecasts
are now, or in the future will be, accurate or that other factors impacting this
deferred tax asset will not materially and adversely affect its business,
results of operations and financial condition. For the nine months
ended September 28, 2008, the
Company recorded a valuation allowance of $4,067,000 through
earnings.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
|
Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which
approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those
instruments. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at
October 4, 2009 approximates fair value because borrowings are for
terms of less than one year and have rates that reflect currently available
terms and conditions for similar debt.
(17)
|
Subsequent
Events
|
On
October 26, 2009, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding
stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sypris Test & Measurement, for
approximately $39,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was deposited in an 18 month
escrow account in connection with certain customary representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnifications of the Company. The Test &
Measurement business provides technical services for the calibration,
certification and repair of test & measurement equipment in and outside the
U.S., and prior to the sale was part of the Company’s Electronics
Group. The Company used proceeds of $34,000,000 from the sale to
reduce the amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior
Notes. The Company anticipates recording a gain on this transaction
in the fourth quarter.
Subsequent
to the quarter end, the Company liquidated its holdings of Dana common stock for
approximately $21,024,000 in net cash proceeds, which was used to pay down the
Company’s outstanding debt. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of
approximately $18,255,000 on the sale.
On
October 26, 2009, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Agreement
and Senior Notes agreements. The Loan Amendment extends the maturity
date of the Revolving Credit Agreement from January 15, 2010 through
January 15, 2012, while the Note Amendments implement the same
maturity date for the Senior Notes. The Company used certain net
proceeds from the sale of the Test & Measurement business and of the
Company’s holdings of Dana Holding Corporation common stock to reduce the
lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement from $50,000,000 to
approximately $20,965,000 and under the Senior Notes from $30,000,000 to
approximately $13,305,000. The Amendments substituted new financial
covenants regarding: quarterly minimum net worth and liquidity levels,
cumulative quarterly “EBITDAR” levels (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and restructuring costs), cumulative quarterly fixed
charge ratios and cumulative quarterly debt to EBITDAR ratios, among
others. The Amendments also commit the Company to obtain the consent
of the Banks and the Noteholders before making any dividend payments and impose
certain fees and interest rate increases. To the extent that
marketable securities or other collateral is sold outside of the ordinary course
of business, the Amendments also provide for certain prepayments to the Banks
and the Noteholders. The Company expects to be able to comply with
the amended covenants. However, no assurances can be given that
changing business, regulatory or economic conditions might not cause the Company
to violate one or more covenants which could result in default or acceleration
of any debt under the Agreements.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
Results
of Operations
The
tables presented below, which compare our results of operations for the three
and nine month periods from 2009 to 2008, present the results for each period,
the change in those results from 2009 to 2008 in both dollars and percentage
change and the results for each period as a percentage of net
revenue.
|
·
|
The
first two data columns in the tables show the absolute results for each
period presented.
|
|
·
|
The
columns entitled “Year Over Year Change” and “Year Over Year Percentage
Change” show the change in results, both in dollars and
percentages. These two columns show favorable changes as
positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when
our net revenue increases from one period to the next, that change is
shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when
expenses increase from one period to the next, that change is shown as a
negative number in both columns.
|
|
·
|
The
last two columns in the tables show the results for each period as a
percentage of net revenue. In these two columns, the cost of sales and
gross profit for each are given as a percentage of that segment’s net
revenue. These amounts are shown in
italics.
|
In
addition, as used in the table, “NM” means “not meaningful.”

Backlog. At October 4, 2009,
backlog for our Electronics Group decreased $20.6 million to $81.4 million from
$102.0 million at
September 28, 2008, on a 21% decrease in net orders to $64.7 million in
the first nine months of 2009 compared to $81.4 million in net orders in
the first nine months of 2008. We expect to convert approximately 83%
of the backlog at October 4, 2009 to revenue during the next twelve
months.
Net Revenue. The Industrial
Group derives its revenue from manufacturing services and product
sales. Net revenue in the Industrial Group decreased $20.8 million and
$85.3 million from
the prior year third quarter and nine month periods,
respectively. Depressed market conditions for medium and heavy duty
commercial trucks and light trucks have contributed to volume related reductions
in net revenue of approximately $16.8 million and
$57.6 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively. Volume
declines for trailer axles also resulted in a $3.6 million and $16.4 million net
revenue reduction from the prior year third quarter and nine month periods,
respectively. Revenue also declined $2.6 million and $15.3 million
for the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively, due to the
discontinued sale of axle shafts to a light truck customer. Further,
amortization of contractual settlements and pricing changes resulted in a $0.1
million revenue increase and a $4.4 million decrease for the three and nine
month periods, respectively. Partially offsetting the volume change
is an increase in steel prices, which is contractually passed through to
customers under certain contracts, resulting in an increase in net revenue of
$2.2 million and
$8.4 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively.
21
The
Electronics Group derives its revenue from product sales and technical
outsourced services. Net revenue in the Electronics Group decreased
$2.6 million for
the third quarter primarily as a result of a reduction in sales of certain data
recording products and a reduction in encryption products. Net
revenue in the Electronics Group increased $9.6 million from the prior year nine
month period, primarily as a result of shipments of new electronic circuit card
assemblies for the Bradley Combat System.
Gross Profit. The Industrial
Group’s gross profit of $0.1 million and loss of $4.2 million in the third
quarter and nine month periods of 2009, respectively, decreased from profit of
$0.3 million and $12.5 million in the third quarter and nine month periods of
2008, respectively. The significant decrease in sales volume and
related loss of fixed overhead absorption resulted in a reduction in gross
profit of approximately $4.3 million and
$16.0 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively. The
Industrial Group also realized a decline in gross profit of $0.1 million and
$7.1 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively, as a result of lower
revenue from contractual settlements and pricing as compared to the prior year
periods. The decreases in gross profit were partially offset by
productivity improvements attributable to restructuring activities of
approximately $3.2 million and $6.8 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods, respectively and favorable exchange
rates experienced during the third quarter and nine month periods.
The
Electronics Group’s gross profit increased $1.9 million and $6.0 million for the
third quarter and nine month periods of 2009, respectively, primarily due to the
redesign of a secured communication product and changes in product mix. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue also increased to 20.0% and 16.4% for the
third quarter and nine month periods of 2009, respectively, from 11.5% and 10.8%
for the third quarter and nine month periods of 2008 respectively.
Selling, General and
Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased
$1.3 million and $2.9 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods of 2009, respectively, primarily due to
reductions in compensation and employee benefit costs.
Research and Development.
Research and development costs decreased $0.1 million in the third quarter of
2009 and remained flat for the nine months ended October 4, 2009.
Nonrecurring Expense, Net. In
December 2008, we announced a restructuring program, which included the
closure of the Industrial Group’s Kenton and Marion, Ohio facilities and the
consolidation of Sypris Electronics and Sypris Data Systems into a single
operation within the Electronics Group. Additionally, we have exited
several programs within the Electronics Group. The purpose of the
restructuring program is to reduce fixed costs, accelerate integration
efficiencies, and significantly improve operating earnings on a sustained
basis. The restructuring activities are expected to result in $25.0
million in annual savings. The activities generating the expected
savings are from the following: i) annual savings of $12.5 million from
facility closings, ii) annual savings of $7.5 million from
operational efficiencies expected to begin during the third quarter of 2009,
iii) annual savings of $3.0 million from
product costing changes implemented during the first quarter of 2009, and iv)
annual savings of $2.0 million from
various quality improvement initiatives expected to be implemented by the fourth
quarter of 2009. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded, or
expect to record in future periods, aggregate pre-tax expenses of approximately
$51.6 million, consisting of the following: $3.9 million in severance
and benefit costs, $13.3 million in non-cash asset impairments,
$16.1 million in non-cash deferred contract costs write-offs,
$7.9 million in inventory related charges, $1.8 million in equipment
relocation costs, $1.5 million in asset retirement obligations,
$3.2 million in contract termination costs and $3.9 million in other
restructuring charges. Of the aggregate $51.6 million in pre-tax
costs, we expect $14.0 million will be cash expenditures, the majority of
which has been spent at October 4, 2009. The cash outflows related to
these programs are expected to be funded from continuing operations and the
existing revolving credit agreement and are not expected to have a material
adverse impact on our liquidity. Of the total program, we
recorded $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share, and $5.2 million or
$0.28 per share related to these initiatives during the third quarter and nine
months ended October 4, 2009, respectively, which is included in
nonrecurring expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The
charge for the nine months ended October 4, 2009
consisted of $1.0 million for employee severance and benefit costs,
$1.3 million in equipment relocation costs, $1.2 million in non-cash
asset impairments, and $1.7 million in other various
charges. The additional non-cash asset impairments incurred during
the first nine months of 2009 were for assets originally expected to be
redeployed to other locations but later determined to not be economically
feasible to move. Additionally, we revised our estimate for equipment
relocation costs to $1.8 million from
the original estimate of $4.2 million, as
we determined it would not be economically feasible to relocate certain
equipment. We expect to incur approximately $0.1 million in
additional employee severance and benefit costs, approximately $0.2 million in
additional equipment relocation costs, and approximately $1.0 million in
other exit costs. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements
included in this Form 10-Q.
22
Interest Expense. Interest
expense for the third quarter and nine months ended October 4, 2009 increased
primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding and an
increase in interest rates resulting from the March 2009 modification of our
Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. Our weighted average debt
outstanding increased to $75.1 million and
$74.7 million for
the third quarter and nine month periods of 2009, respectively, from $57.0 million and
$55.4 million
during the third quarter and nine month periods of 2008. The weighted
average interest rate was 7.9% and 7.3% for the third quarter and nine month
periods of 2009, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 6.7% for the third quarter
and nine month periods of 2008.
Income Taxes. The provision
for income taxes in the third quarter and nine month periods of 2009 includes a
benefit of $3.5 million due to the required intraperiod tax allocation resulting
from the loss from continuing operations and income recorded in other
comprehensive income. The remaining provision recorded is associated
with our foreign subsidiaries and includes minimum taxes required to be paid in
Mexico.
Discontinued Operations. As
of October 4, 2009, the Company concluded that it was probable within a 12 month
time period that it would sell the operations associated with the Test &
Measurement segment. In accordance with requirements of ASC
205-20-45 (formerly
known as SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), we classified this business as a
discontinued operation in the third quarter of 2009. This business
was previously included within the Electronics Group. Test &
Measurement income was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2009 and
2008. For the nine months ended October 4, 2009 and
September 28, 2008, Test & Measurement income was
$0.2 million. This operation was sold in late October
2009.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Financial Condition
On
October 26, 2009, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Agreement
and Senior Notes agreements. The Loan Amendment extends the maturity
date of the Revolving Credit Agreement from January 15, 2010 through
January 15, 2012, while the Note Amendments implement the same
maturity date for the Senior Notes. The Company used certain net
proceeds generated during the fourth quarter 2009 from the sale of the Test
& Measurement business and of the Company’s holdings of Dana Holding
Corporation common stock to reduce the lending commitments under the Revolving
Credit Agreement from $50.0 million to approximately $21.0 million and
under the Senior Notes from $30.0 million to approximately
$13.3 million. The Amendments substituted new financial
covenants regarding: quarterly minimum net worth and liquidity levels,
cumulative quarterly “EBITDAR” levels (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and restructuring costs), cumulative quarterly fixed
charge ratios and cumulative quarterly debt to EBITDAR ratios, among
others. The Amendments also commit the Company to obtain the consent
of the Banks and the Noteholders before making any dividend payments and impose
certain fees and interest rate increases. To the extent that
marketable securities or other collateral is sold outside of the ordinary course
of business, the Amendments also provide for certain prepayments to the Banks
and the Noteholders. The Company expects to be able to comply with
the amended covenants. However, no assurances can be given that
changing business, regulatory or economic conditions might not cause the Company
to violate one or more covenants which could result in default or acceleration
of any debt under the Agreements. As a result of the reduction in
debt, interest expense is expected to be reduced by an estimated $4.0 million to
$5.0 million on an annual basis.
Net cash
used in operating activities of continuing operations was $2.3 million in
the first nine months of 2009 as compared to net cash provided of $7.6 million for
the first nine months of 2008. Accounts receivable decreased in 2009
and provided $4.4 million as a result of a continued emphasis on
collections with significant customers. Inventory decreased in 2009
and provided $12.9 million,
primarily due to bringing inventory levels down to meet current demand within
the Industrial Group and a focus on improving inventory turns within the
Electronics Group. Other current assets decreased in 2009 and
provided $2.8 million,
primarily as a result of a $2.9 million tax
refund for our Mexico operations. Accounts payable decreased in 2009
and used $8.9 million
primarily due to the timing of payments to our suppliers and reduced purchases
by our Industrial Group. Accrued and other liabilities decreased in
2009 and used $2.1 million,
primarily due to payments for the various restructuring accruals including the
payment of $0.9 million to
terminate a lease for Sypris Data Systems and payments of $2.1 million in
severance related to the shutdown of the Kenton and Marion, Ohio
facilities.
23
Net cash
used in investing activities of continuing operations decreased $3.1 million to
$3.4 million for
the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to lower capital
expenditures.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $1.0 million in
the first nine months of 2009, as compared to net cash used of $1.7 million in
the first nine months of 2008. We borrowed an additional $2.0 million
on the Revolving Credit Agreement during the first nine months of
2009. Additionally, we paid $0.7 million in financing fees in
conjunction with the modification of our debt in March 2009. During
2009, we suspended our dividend payment, which resulted in lower dividend
payments of $1.3 million as compared to the prior year period.
We had
total borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement of $45.0 million at
October 4, 2009 and an unrestricted cash balance of
$10.8 million. Approximately $4.0 million of the unrestricted
cash balance relates to our Mexican subsidiaries. In March 2009, our
Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes were amended to, among other things,
i) waive the defaults as of December 31, 2008, ii)
limit total borrowings, iii) revise the maturity date for the Credit Agreement
and Senior Notes to January 15, 2010, iv)
revise certain financial covenants, v) restrict the payment of dividends, vi)
require mandatory prepayment to the extent that marketable securities or other
collateral is sold outside of the ordinary course of business, and vii) increase
our interest rate structure. As of October 4, 2009, we were
in compliance with all covenants. Maximum borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Agreement were $50.0 million, and standby letters of
credit up to a maximum of $15.0 million may
be issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $2.3 million were issued
at October 4, 2009.
We also
had purchase commitments totaling approximately $14.6 million at October 4,
2009, primarily for inventory and manufacturing equipment.
We
believe that sufficient resources will be available to satisfy our cash
requirements for at least the next twelve months. Cash requirements
for periods beyond the next twelve months depend on our profitability, our
ability to manage working capital requirements and our rate of
growth. If our largest customers experience financial difficulty, or
if working capital and capital expenditure requirements exceed expected levels
during the next twelve months or in subsequent periods, we may require
additional external sources of capital. There can be no assurance
that any additional required financing will be available through bank
borrowings, debt or equity financings or otherwise, or that if such financing is
available, it will be available on terms acceptable to us. If
adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Critical
Accounting Policies
See the
information concerning our critical accounting policies included under Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation - Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no
significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine month
period ended October 4, 2009.
Forward-looking
Statements
This
quarterly report, and our other oral or written communications, may contain
“forward-looking” statements. These statements may include our
expectations or projections about the future of our industries, business
strategies, potential acquisitions or financial results and our views about
developments beyond our control, including domestic or global economic

not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
24
A number
of significant factors could materially affect our specific business operations
and cause our performance to differ materially from any future results projected
or implied by our prior statements. Many of these factors are
identified in connection with the more specific descriptions contained
throughout this report. Other factors which could also materially
affect such future results currently include: the effects of a continuing
economic downturn which could reduce our revenues, negatively impact our
customers or suppliers and materially, adversely affect our financial results;
potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of goodwill, assets or
deferred costs, including deferred tax assets in the U.S. or Mexico; fees, costs
or other dilutive effects of refinancing; compliance with covenants in, or
acceleration of, our loan and other debt agreements; unexpected or increased
costs, time delays and inefficiencies of restructuring our manufacturing
capacity; breakdowns, relocations or major repairs of machinery and equipment;
our inability to successfully launch new or next generation programs; the cost,
efficiency and yield of our operations and capital investments, including
working capital, production schedules, cycle times, scrap rates, injuries,
wages, overtime costs, freight or expediting costs; cost and availability of raw
materials such as steel, component parts, natural gas or utilities; volatility
of our customers’ forecasts, financial conditions, market shares, product
requirements or scheduling demands; adverse impacts of new technologies or other
competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our margins; failure to
adequately insure or to identify environmental or other insurable risks;
inventory valuation risks including obsolescence, shrinkage, theft, overstocking
or underbilling; changes in government or other customer programs; reliance on
major customers or suppliers, especially in the automotive or aerospace and
defense electronics sectors; revised contract prices or estimates of major
contract costs; dependence on, recruitment or retention of key employees; union
negotiations; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs; labor
relations; strikes; risks of foreign operations; currency exchange rates; the
costs and supply of debt, equity capital, or insurance (including the
possibility that our common stock could cease to qualify for listing on the
NASDAQ Stock Market due to a sustained decline in prices per share, or other
regulatory compliance including, shareholder approval requirements, or that any
reverse stock split or other restructuring of our debt or equity financing could
be accompanied by the deregistration of our common stock or other “going
private” transactions); changes in licenses, security clearances, or other legal
rights to operate, manage our work force or import and export as needed;
weaknesses in internal controls; the costs of compliance with our auditing,
regulatory or contractual obligations; regulatory actions or sanctions; disputes
or litigation, involving customer, supplier, lessor, landlord, creditor,
stockholder, product liability or environmental claims; war, terrorism or
political uncertainty; unanticipated or uninsured disasters, losses or business
risks; inaccurate data about markets, customers or business conditions; or
unknown risks and uncertainties and the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
In this
quarterly report, we may rely on and refer to information and statistics
regarding the markets in which we compete. We obtained this
information and these statistics from various third party sources and
publications that are not produced for the purposes of securities offerings or
reporting or economic analysis. We have not independently verified
the data and cannot assure the accuracy of the data we have
included.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a
smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K and thus are
not required to report the quantitative and qualitative measures of market risk
specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
Item
4. Controls and
Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e)
or 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or
15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
