Sypris Solutions, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Nature of Business

Sypris is a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. The Company performs a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design and other technical services. The Company provides such services through its Industrial and Electronics Groups.

(2) 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All 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 six months ended July 4, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2009 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.

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Any new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been deemed not to be relevant to the operations of the Company. Accordingly, the effects of any such undisclosed new accounting pronouncements are not expected to have any impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

(4) Discontinued Operations

On October 26, 2009, the Company sold all of the stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sypris Test & Measurement, for $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. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company was made aware of a potential warranty claim from a former customer of Sypris Test & Measurement. As of July 4, 2010, the Company estimates that its total liability arising from this claim will not exceed $300,000, which has been reserved in accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There can be no assurance that similar potential claims will not emerge in the future or that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the estimated liability. This charge is included in discontinued operations, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Test & Measurement business provided technical services for the calibration, certification and repair of test & measurement equipment in and outside the U.S., and prior to the sale was a part of the Company’s Electronics Group. The Company used the proceeds of $34,000,000 from the sale to reduce the amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.

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 six month periods ended July 5, 2009, interest expense allocated to discontinued operations was $848,000 and $1,400,000, respectively, based on the $34,000,000 in debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction.

The key components of income from discontinued operations related to the Test & Measurement segment were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months			Six Months
	Ended			Ended

(5)	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 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 based upon the estimated net present values determined by Sypris’ internal valuation methodology.

Sypris recorded the Claim at the estimated fair value of $76,483,000 on August 7, 2007 in accordance with ASC 845-10 (formerly APB 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions). Sypris allocated the estimated fair value to each commercial issue, and 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 Holding Corporation (“DHC”), the right to participate in additional distributions of reserved shares of common stock of DHC 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 DHC began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. During 2008, the Company received distributions of DHC common stock totaling 3,742,381 shares and a cash distribution of $6,891,000. As of July 4, 2010, the Company has received approximately 98% of the total common shares it expects to receive.

The Company determined that its investment in DHC 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 of 2008. The non-cash impairment was based on DHC’s closing stock price of $0.74 per share on December 31, 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company liquidated its holdings in DHC common stock for approximately $21,024,000 in net cash proceeds. The Company recognized a gain of $18,255,000 on the sale.

At July 4, 2010, the Company’s right to participate in additional distributions of DHC common stock, presently estimated to be 87,000 additional shares, is carried at $64,000 in other assets. Had these shares been received at July 4, 2010, the Company would have recorded a $762,000 unrealized holding gain to other comprehensive loss.

(6) 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, Ohio facility, significant reductions in the workforce in its Marion, Ohio facility 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 Company expects to substantially complete its program by the end of 2010. For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1,002,000 and $1,415,000, respectively. Of the $1,002,000 recorded in the second quarter, $190,000 was recorded within the Industrial Group and $812,000 was recorded within the Electronics Group. Of these costs, $338,000 was for severance and benefit-related costs, $85,000 related to equipment relocation costs, and $579,000 represented other costs, primarily related to mothball costs associated with closed or partially closed facilities and the consolidation of facilities within the Electronics Group. Of the $1,415,000 recorded in the first half of 2010, $603,000 was recorded within the Industrial Group and $812,000 was recorded within the Electronics Group. Of these costs, $346,000 was for severance and benefit-related costs, $184,000 related to equipment relocation costs, and $885,000 represented other costs, primarily related to mothball costs associated with closed or partially closed facilities and the consolidation of facilities within the Electronics Group. The Company has accrued $2,644,000 related to the restructuring program and expects to incur an additional $1,004,000 in cash expenditures to be paid out during the remainder of 2010 and 2011.

A summary of the pre-tax restructuring charges is as follows (in thousands):

The total pre-tax costs of $55,201,000 expected to be incurred includes $23,036,000 within the Industrial Group and $32,165,000 within the Electronics Group. The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of $1,004,000, including approximately $490,000 within the Industrial Group and $514,000 within the Electronics Group.

(7) Loss Per Common Share

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Accordingly, distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares (participating securities) have been excluded, as applicable, from net income or loss attributable to common shareholders utilized in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

For the three and six months ended July 4, 2010 and July 5, 2009, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of outstanding stock options and unvested stock-based shares because the effect of these items on diluted net loss would be anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share is as follows (in thousands):

(9) Segment Data

The Company is organized into two business groups, the Industrial Group and the Electronics Group. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions betweens products, services, markets, customers, technologies and workforce skills of the segments. The Industrial Group provides manufacturing services for a variety of customers that outsource forged and finished steel components and subassemblies. The Industrial Group also manufactures high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. The Electronics Group provides manufacturing and technical services as an outsourced service provider and manufactures complex data storage systems, secured communications devices and related products. There was no intersegment net revenue recognized in any of the periods presented.

The following table presents financial information for the reportable segments of the Company (in thousands):

(10) 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 July 4, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $881,000 and $1,008,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty expense from continuing operations for the six months ended July 4, 2010 and July 5, 2009 was $240,000 and $116,000, 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 July 4, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had deferred $1,658,000 and $1,558,000, 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.

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 July 4, 2010, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $9,439,000, primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing equipment. As of July 4, 2010, the Company also had outstanding letters of credit of $1,886,000 primarily under the aforementioned captive insurance program.

(11) 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 30% in 2010 and 28% in 2009. The Company’s foreign operations are also subject to minimum income taxes in periods where positive cash flows exceed taxable income. Reconciling items between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate also include state income taxes, valuation allowances and certain other permanent differences.

The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly 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 net loss incurred during the period and the net cumulative loss for the current and prior two years, represents negative evidence under the provisions of ASC 740 requiring the Company to establish a valuation allowance against domestic deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance offsets assets associated with future tax deductions and carryforward items. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. and certain non-U.S. tax benefits. Based on the Company’s current forecast, a valuation allowance of $2,108,000 and $3,173,000 was recorded through earnings for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively, for the Company’s domestic deferred tax assets. For the three and six months ended July 5, 2009, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2,780,000 and $6,986,000, respectively, through earnings.

The remaining deferred tax asset balance is attributable to the Mexican subsidiary. The Company has been profitable in Mexico in the past and anticipates continuing profitability in the future. 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 ability to realize its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. 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.

Employee benefit-related adjustments – Mexico		(434	)		(434	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(17,083	)	$	(17,187	)

(14) 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 value for the Senior Notes approximates fair value at July 4, 2010, given the agreement was signed during the fourth quarter of 2009. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at July 4, 2010 and December 31, 2009 under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because borrowings are for terms of less than six months and have rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. We perform a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design and other technical services, principally in the markets for industrial manufacturing and aerospace & defense electronics.

We focus on those markets where we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry leaders that embrace multi-year contractual relationships as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are sole-source by part number and are for terms of up to five years, enable us to invest in leading-edge processes or technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity, flexibility and economies of scale that can result offer an important opportunity for differentiating ourselves from the competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.

In December 2008, we announced a restructuring program, which included the closure of the Industrial Group’s Kenton, Ohio facility, the significant reduction in volumes at the Marion, Ohio facility (which remains under consideration for potential closure depending upon the cost of moving certain equipment, the need for continuing capacity, the possibility of new business opportunities and overall market conditions) 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 was to reduce fixed costs, accelerate integration efficiencies, and significantly improve operating earnings on a sustained basis. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded, or expect to record in future periods, aggregate pre-tax expenses of approximately $55.2 million, consisting of the following: $4.1 million in severance and benefit costs, $13.5 million in non-cash asset impairments, $17.8 million in non-cash deferred contract costs write-offs, $7.9 million in inventory related charges, $2.5 million in equipment relocation costs, $1.5 million in asset retirement obligations, $3.2 million in contract termination costs and $4.7 million in other restructuring charges. Of the aggregate $55.2 million in pre-tax costs, the Company expects approximately $15.7 million to be cash-related.

Results of Operations

The tables presented below, which compare our results of operations for the three and six month periods from 2010 to 2009, present the results for each period, the change in those results from 2010 to 2009 in both dollars and percentage change and the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue.

The first two data columns in each table 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 each table 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.”

Net Revenue. The Industrial Group derives its revenue from manufacturing services and product sales. Net revenue in the Industrial Group increased $9.6 million and $16.2 million from the prior year second quarter and six month periods, respectively. Increased volumes for heavy duty commercial trucks and light trucks have contributed to increased revenue of approximately $10.2 million and $16.0 million for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively. Increased volumes for trailer axles also resulted in a $1.0 million and $1.9 million net revenue increase from the prior year second quarter and six month periods, respectively. Partially offsetting the volume increase was a decline of $2.0 million for the second quarter and six month periods due to the discontinued sale of axle shafts to a light truck customer.

The Electronics Group derives its revenue from product sales and technical outsourced services. Net revenue in the Electronics Group decreased $15.9 million and $27.3 million from the prior year second quarter and six month periods, respectively. The decrease is a result from a delay on the production and shipping for one of its secured communication products and the completion of shipments of certain older programs. The Company received a stop work order on March 30, 2010 from the government due to a technical issue with the product. The technical issue has since been resolved, and the stop work order was lifted on June 30, 2010. Shipments are expected to resume during the third quarter 2010. The Company has received certification for one of its link encryption devices and expects to begin shipping that product in the third quarter with production ramping up during the fourth quarter. As a result, we expect revenues in this segment to begin to increase in the third quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit. The Industrial Group’s gross profit increased to a profit of $2.3 million and $4.7 million in the second quarter and six month periods of 2010, respectively from a loss of $1.6 million and $4.3 million in the second quarter and six month periods of 2009, respectively. The increase in sales volume resulted in an increase of gross profit of approximately $2.1 million and $3.2 million for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively. The Industrial Group also realized an increase in gross profit of $1.8 million and $5.9 million for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively, as a result of productivity improvements attributable to restructuring activities. Additionally, lower fringe rates and health insurance costs resulted in an increase in gross profit of $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively. Partially offsetting this was a $0.1 million and $0.5 million cost increase for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively, due to the strengthening of the Mexican peso as compared to the prior year periods.

The Electronics Group’s gross profit decreased $3.4 million and $3.1 million in the second quarter and six month periods of 2010, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is primarily a result of the completion of certain mature programs. Gross profit also declined due to lower revenues due to the technical issue with one of our secured communication products, as noted above, although this was partially offset by an increase in gross profit on certain new space program business and data systems products. The Electronics Group’s gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter also decreased to 16.0% from 18.7% in the second quarter of 2009, but increased to 17.6% for the six month period of 2010 as compared to 14.9% for the same period of 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense remained flat for the second quarter and decreased $1.2 million for the six month period of 2010, primarily due to reductions in compensation and employee benefit costs.

Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the second quarter and six month periods of 2010, respectively, primarily due to the redirection of engineering efforts during the six month period to assist with technical issues with existing products. Additionally, development efforts within our Electronics Group for a next generation secured communications device were largely completed during the first quarter of 2010. However, research and development costs are expected to increase from current levels for the balance of 2010 in support of the Electronics Group’s self-funded product and technology development activities.

Restructuring Expense. As a result of the Company’s restructuring program, we recorded $1.0 million and $1.4 million related to these initiatives during the second quarter and six months ended July 4, 2010, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended July 5, 2009, we recorded $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The charge for the six months ended July 4, 2010 consisted of $0.3 million for employee severance and benefit costs, $0.2 million in equipment relocation costs, and $0.9 million in other various charges, primarily related to mothball costs associated with closed or partially closed facilities and charges related to the consolidation of two Electronics Group locations. We expect to incur approximately $0.4 million in additional equipment relocation costs, and approximately $0.6 million in other exit costs. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the second quarter and six months ended July 4, 2010 decreased due to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rates. Our weighted average debt outstanding decreased to $18.6 million and $18.9 million for the second quarter and six month periods of 2010, respectively, from $76.7 million and $74.6 million during the second quarter and six month periods of 2009, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 9.4% and 9.5% for the second quarter and six month periods of 2010, respectively, compared to 8.0% and 6.9% for the second quarter and six month periods of 2009, respectively. Interest expense incurred on the debt required to be repaid from the net proceeds of the sale of the Test and Measurement Segment has been allocated to discontinued operations. During the second quarter and six month period ended July 5, 2009, $0.8 million and $1.4 million of interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations based on the $34.0 million in debt required to be repaid as a result of the transaction.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the second quarter and six month periods of 2010 is associated exclusively with our foreign subsidiaries and includes minimum taxes required to be paid in Mexico.

Discontinued Operations. On October 26, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sypris Test & Measurement, for approximately $39.0 million. In accordance with requirements of ASC 205-20-45 (formerly SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the results of the Test & Measurement segment have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. This business was previously included within the Electronics Group. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company was made aware of a potential warranty claim from a former customer of Sypris Test & Measurement. As of July 4, 2010, the Company estimates that its total liability arising from this claim will not exceed $0.3 million, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended July 4, 2010 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. There can be no assurance that similar potential claims will not emerge in the future or that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the estimated liability. Test & Measurement net income was a loss of $0.1 million and income of $0.1 million for the second quarter and six month periods of 2009, respectively.

Net cash used by operating activities (continuing operations) was $0.1 million in the first six months of 2010 as compared to net cash used of $3.9 million for the first six months of 2009, primarily due to the decreased net loss experienced during the first six months of 2010. Accounts receivable increased within the Industrial Group and used $4.3 million of cash as a result of an overall increase in revenue primarily toward the end of the period. Offsetting this was a decrease in accounts receivable within the Electronics Group resulting from lower sales during the period. Inventory increased and used $3.7 million, primarily as a result of a shipping delay within the Electronics Group for one of its secured communication products as discussed above. Accounts payable increased and provided $3.9 million primarily due to the timing of payments to and from our suppliers and increased purchases by our Industrial Group. Accrued liabilities increased and provided $0.6 million, primarily as a result of increased accrued taxes for our Mexico operations.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2.2 million to $0.5 million for the first six months of 2010, primarily due to lower capital expenditures. If volumes continue to return within the Industrial Group, the Company expects capital expenditures to increase during the second half of the year.

The Company’s financing activities were cash neutral in the first six months of 2010, as compared to net cash provided of $1.5 million in the first six months of 2009. We had no additional borrowings or payments on the Revolving Credit Agreement during the six months ended July 4, 2010, as compared to borrowings of $2.5 million during the six months ended July 5, 2009. Partially offsetting the borrowings in 2009 were financing fees of $0.7 million paid in conjunction with modifications of our debt in 2009 and dividends of $0.4 million paid during the first quarter of 2009.

At July 4, 2010, we had total availability for borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $9.1 million along with an unrestricted cash balance of $15.0 million, which provides for total cash and borrowing capacity of $24.1 million. Approximately $7.2 million of the unrestricted cash balance relates to our Mexican subsidiaries. Maximum borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Agreement are $21.0 million, and standby letters of credit up to a maximum of $15.0 million may be issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $1.9 million were issued at July 4, 2010.

We also had purchase commitments totaling approximately $9.4 million at July 4, 2010, 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 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.

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 conditions, trends and market developments.

There can be no assurance that our expectations, projections or views will come to pass, and undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.

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.
