Supply Technologies
 
Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Managementtm, a proactive solutions approach that manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers’ manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation. Total Supply Managementtm includes such services as engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking,just-in-time andpoint-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. We operate 4940 logistics service centers in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Ireland, Hungary, China, Taiwan, Singapore and India, as well as production sourcing and support centers in Asia. Through our supply chain management programs, we supply more than 175,000 globally-sourced production components, many of which are specialized and customized to meet individual customers’ needs.
In October 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of NABS, Inc. (“NABS”) for $21.2 million in cash. NABS is a premier international supply chain manager of production components, providing services to high technology companies in the computer, electronics, and consumer products industries. NABS has operations across Europe, Asia, Mexico and the United States. The historical financial data contained throughout this annual report onForm 10-K excludes the results of operations of NABS prior to October 18, 2006. See Note C to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
In July 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Purchased Parts Group, Inc. (“PPG”), a provider of supply chain management services for a broad range of production components. At acquisition date, PPG operated 12 service centers in the United States, of which nine have since been consolidated into other Supply Technologies operations, and also serves customers in the United Kingdom and Mexico. This acquisition added to our customer and supplier bases, and expanded our geographic presence. Supply Technologies has eliminated substantial overhead costs from PPG through the process of consolidating redundant service centers. The historical financial data contained throughout this annual report onForm 10-K exclude the results of operations of PPG prior to July 20, 2005.
 
Products and Services.  Total Supply Managementtm provides our customers with an expert partner in strategic planning, global sourcing, technical services, parts and materials, logistics, distribution and inventory management of production components. Some production components are characterized by low per unit supplier prices relative to the indirect costs of supplier management, quality assurance, inventory management and delivery to the production line. In addition, Supply Technologies delivers an increasingly broad range of higher-cost production components including valves, electro-mechanical hardware, fittings, steering components and many others. Applications engineering specialists and the direct sales force work closely with the engineering staff of OEM customers to recommend the appropriate production components for a new product or to suggest alternative components that reduce overall production costs, streamline assembly or enhance the appearance or performance of the end product. As an additional service, Supply Technologies recently began providing spare parts and aftermarket products to end users of its customers’ products.
 
Total Supply Managementtm services are typically provided to customers pursuant to sole-source arrangements. We believe our services distinguish us from traditional buy/sell distributors, as well as manufacturers who supply products directly to customers, because we outsource our customers’ high-volume production components supply chain management, providing processes customized to each customer’s needs and replacing numerous current suppliers with a sole-source relationship. Our highly-developed, customized, information systems provide transparency and flexibility through the complete supply chain. This enables our customers to: (1) significantly reduce the direct and indirect cost of production component processes by outsourcing internal purchasing, quality assurance and inventory fulfillment responsibilities; (2) reduce the amount of working capital invested in inventory and floor space; (3) reduce component costs through purchasing efficiencies, including bulk buying and supplier consolidation; and (4) receive technical expertise in production component selection and design and engineering. Our sole-source arrangements foster long-term, entrenched supply relationships with our customers


2


and, as a result, the average tenure of service for our top 50 Supply Technologies clients exceeds twelvesix years. Supply Technologies’ remaining sales are generated through the wholesale supply of industrial products to other manufacturers and distributors pursuant to master or authorized distributor relationships.
 
The Supply Technologies segment also engineers and manufactures precision cold formed and cold extruded products, including locknuts, SPAC® nuts and wheel hardware, which are principally used in applications where controlled tightening is required due to high vibration. Supply Technologies produces both standard items and specialty products to customer specifications, which are used in large volumes by customers in the automotive, heavy-duty truck and rail industries.
 
Markets and Customers.  For the year ended December 31, 2008,2009, approximately 75%85% of Supply Technologies’ net sales were to domestic customers. Remaining sales were primarily to manufacturing facilities of large, multinational customers located in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. Total Supply Managementtm services and production components are used extensively in a variety of industries, and demand is generally related to the state of the economy and to the overall level of manufacturing activity.

Supply Technologies markets and sells its services to over 6,0005,400 customers domestically and internationally. The principal markets served by Supply Technologies are the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, consumer electronics, power sports/fitness equipment, recreational vehicles, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment, semiconductor equipment, plumbing, aerospace and defense, and appliance industries. The five largest customers, within which Supply Technologies sells through sole-source contracts to multiple operating divisions or locations, accounted for approximately 35%24% and 33%35% of the sales of Supply Technologies for 20082009 and 2007,2008, respectively, with Navistar, Inc. (“Navistar”) representing 17%1% and 13%17%, respectively, of segment sales. Two of the five largest customers are in the heavy-duty truck industry. The Company made a decision to exit its relationship with Navistar effective December 31, 2008, which, along with the general economic downturn, resulted in either the closure, downsizing or consolidation of eight facilities in the Company’s distribution network. The Company also evaluated its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, (“FAS 144”),accounting guidance, to determine whether the carrying amount of its long-lived assets was recoverable by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeded the expected cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of these assets to determine whether an impairment existed. The Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $13.4 million in 2008, and expects to record additional charges of $1.8 million in 2009 related to the Supply Technologies segment. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $4.0 million. See Note O to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
The loss of any two of its remaining top five customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of this segment.
 
Competition.  A limited number of companies compete with Supply Technologies to provide supply management services for production parts and materials. Supply Technologies competes in North America, Mexico, Europe and Asia, primarily on the basis of its Total Supply Managementtm services, including engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking,just-in-time andpoint-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support, and its geographic reach, extensive product selection, price and reputation for high service levels. Numerous North American and foreign companies compete with Supply Technologies in manufacturing cold-formed and cold-extruded products.
 
Aluminum Products
 
We believe that we are one of the few aluminum component suppliers that has the capability to provide a wide range of high-volume, high-quality products utilizing a broad range of processes, including gravity and low pressure permanent mold, die-cast and lost-foam, as well as emerging alternative casting technologies. Our ability to offer our customers this comprehensive range of capabilities at a low cost


3


provides us with a competitive advantage. We produce our aluminum components at sevensix manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Indiana.
 
Products and Services.  Our Aluminum Products business casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment OEMs, primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products’ principal products include front engine covers, cooling modules, control arms, knuckles, pump housings, clutch retainers and pistons, master cylinders, pinion housings, oil pans and flywheel spacers. In addition, we also provide value-added services such as design engineering, machining and part assembly. Although these parts are lightweight, they possess high durability and integrity characteristics even under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
 
Demand by automotive OEMs for aluminum castings has increased in recent years as they have sought lighter alternatives to steel and iron, primarily to increase fuel efficiency without compromising structural integrity. We believe that this replacement trend will continue as end-users and the regulatory environment require greater fuel efficiency.


3


Markets and Customers.  The five largest customers, within which Aluminum Products sells to multiple operating divisions through sole-source contracts, accounted for approximately 64%57% of Aluminum Products sales for 20082009 and 55%64% for 2007.2008. The loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of this segment.
 
During 2008, due to recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”)accounting guidance and based on the results of its tests recorded asset impairment charges of $13.2 million related to the Aluminum Products segment. See Note O to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
 
Competition.  The aluminum castings industry serving North America has become less competitive as a result of recent bankruptcies.  Aluminum Products competes principally on the basis of its ability to: (1) engineer and manufacture high-quality, cost-effective, machined castings utilizing multiple casting technologies in large volumes; (2) provide timely delivery; and (3) retain the manufacturing flexibility necessary to quickly adjust to the needs of its customers. There are few domestic companies with aluminum casting capabilities able to meet, the customers’ stringent quality and service standards and lean manufacturing techniques. As one of these suppliers, Aluminum Products is well-positioned to benefit as customers continue to consolidate their supplier base.
 
Manufactured Products
 
Our Manufactured Products segment operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products, including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, rubber products and forged and machined products. We manufacture these products in eleven domestic facilities and ten international facilities in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, China and Japan. In January 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Foundry Service GmbH (“Foundry Service”). In December 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Lectrotherm, Inc. (“Lectrotherm”), which is primarily a provider of field service and spare parts for induction heating and melting systems, located in Canton, Ohio.
 
Products and Services.  Our induction heating and melting business utilizes proprietary technology and specializes in the engineering, construction, service and repair of induction heating and melting systems, primarily for the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, automotive and construction equipment industries. Our induction heating and melting systems are engineered and built to customer specifications and are used primarily for melting, heating, and surface hardening of metals and curing of coatings. Approximately 35% to 40%45% of our induction heating and melting systems’ revenues are derived from the sale of replacement parts and provision of field service, primarily for the


4


installed base of our own products. Our pipe threading business serves the oil and gas industry. We also engineer and install mechanical forging presses, and sell spare parts and provide field service for the large existing base of mechanical forging presses and hammers in North America. We machine, induction harden and surface finish crankshafts and camshafts, used primarily in locomotives. We forge aerospace and defense structural components such as landing gears and struts, as well as rail products such as railcar center plates and draft lugs. We manufacture injection mold rubber and silicone products, including wire harnesses, shock and vibration mounts, spark plug boots and nipples and general sealing gaskets.
 
Markets and Customers.  We sell induction heating and other capital equipment to component manufacturers and OEMs in the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, automotive, truck, construction equipment and oil and gas industries. We sell forged and machined products to locomotive manufacturers, machining companies andsub-assemblers who finish aerospace and defense products for OEMs, and railcar builders and maintenance providers. We sell rubber products primarily tosub-assemblers in the automotive, food processing and consumer appliance industries.
 
During 2008, due to recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets in accordance with FAS 144accounting guidance and, based on the results of its tests, recorded an asset impairment charge of $4.3 million related to the Manufactured Products segment. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets at one of its forging units, in accordance with accounting guidance, to determine whether the carrying amount of its long-lived assets was recoverable by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets and recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $3.0 million in 2009. See Note O to the consolidated financial statements.

Competition.  We compete with small to medium-sized domestic and international equipment manufacturers on the basis of service capability, ability to meet customer specifications, delivery performance and engineering expertise. We compete domestically and internationally with small to medium- sized forging and machining businesses on the basis of product quality and precision. We compete with other domestic small- to medium-sized manufacturers of injection molded rubber and silicone products primarily on the basis of price and product quality.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Supply Technologies markets its products and services in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe and East and South Asia primarily through its direct sales force, which is assisted by applications engineers who provide the technical expertise necessary to assist the engineering staff of OEM customers in designing new products and improving existing products. Aluminum Products primarily markets and sells its products in North America through internal sales personnel and independent sales representatives. Manufactured Products primarily markets and sells its products in North America through both internal sales personnel and independent sales representatives. Induction heating and pipe threading equipment is also marketed and sold in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa through both internal sales personnel and independent sales representatives. In some instances, the internal engineering staff assists in the sales and marketing effort through joint design and applications-engineering efforts with major customers.
 
Raw Materials and Suppliers
 
Supply Technologies purchases substantially all of its production components from third-party suppliers. Supply Technologies has multiple sources of supply for its products. An increasing portion of Supply Technologies’ delivered components are purchased from suppliers in foreign countries, primarily Canada, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Singapore, India and multiple European countries. We are dependent upon the ability of such suppliers to meet stringent quality and performance standards and to conform to delivery schedules. Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products purchase substantially all of their raw materials, principally metals and certain component parts incorporated into their products, from third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Most raw materials required by Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products are commodity products available from several domestic suppliers. Management believes that raw materials and component parts other than certain specialty products are available from alternative sources.


5


Customer Dependence
We have thousands of customers who demand quality, delivery and service. Numerous customers have recognized our performance by awarding us with supplier quality awards. The only customer which accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales in any of the past three years was Navistar in 2006.
 
Backlog
 
Management believes that backlog is not a meaningful measure for Supply Technologies, as a majority of Supply Technologies’ customers requirejust-in-time delivery of production components. Management believes that Aluminum Products’ and Manufactured Products’ backlog as of any particular date is not a meaningful measure of sales for any future period as a significant portion of sales are on a release or firm order basis. The backlog of Manufactured Products’ orders believed to be firm at the end of 2009 was $178.8 million compared with $196.7 million at the end of 2008. Approximately $6.1 million of the backlog at the end of 2009 is scheduled to be shipped after 2010. The remainder is scheduled to be shipped in 2010.
 
Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations
 
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect public health and the environment, particularly with regard to discharges and emissions, as well as handling, storage, treatment and disposal, of various substances and wastes. Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements could result in civil and criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures. Pursuant to certain environmental laws, owners or operators of facilities may be liable for the costs of response or other corrective actions for contamination identified at or emanating from current or former locations, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or


5


was responsible for, the presence of any such contamination, and for related damages to natural resources. Additionally, persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or materials may be liable for costs of response at sites where they are located, whether or not the site is owned or operated by such person.
 
From time to time, we have incurred and are presently incurring costs and obligations for correcting environmental noncompliance and remediating environmental conditions at certain of our properties. In general, we have not experienced difficulty in complying with environmental laws in the past, and compliance with environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Our capital expenditures on environmental control facilities were not material during the past five years and such expenditures are not expected to be material to us in the foreseeable future.
 
We are currently, and may in the future, be required to incur costs relating to the investigation or remediation of property, including property where we have disposed of our waste, and for addressing environmental conditions. For instance, we have been identified as a potentially responsible party at third-party sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or comparable state laws, which provide for strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability. We are participating in the cost of certainclean-up efforts at several of these sites. The availability of third-party payments or insurance for environmental remediation activities is subject to risks associated with the willingness and ability of the third party to make payments. However, our share of such costs has not been material and, based on available information, we do not expect our exposure at any of these locations to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. These risks are not the only ones we face. If any of the following risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
Adverse credit market conditions may significantly affect our access to capital, cost of capital and ability to meet liquidity needs.
 
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets may adversely impact our ability to access credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit to us in the future. These market conditions may limit our ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to grow and maintain our business. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital issue shorter tenors than we prefer or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. There can be no assurances that government response to the disruptions in the financial markets will stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit. Longer termLonger-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business. Any disruption could require us to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for our business needs can be arranged. Such measures could include deferring capital expenditures and reducing or eliminating future share repurchases or other discretionary uses of cash. Overall, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets.
 
The currentrecent global financial crisis may have significant effects on our customers and suppliers that would result in material adverse effects on our business and operating results.
 
The currentrecent global financial crisis, which has included, among other things, significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit, substantial reductions and fluctuations in equity and currency values worldwide, and concerns that the worldwide economy may enter into a prolonged recessionary period, may materially adversely affect our customers’ access to capital or willingness to spend capital on our products or their ability to pay for products that they will order or have already ordered from us. In addition, the currentrecent global financial crisis may materially adversely affect our suppliers’ access to capital and liquidity with which to maintain their inventories, production levels and product quality, which could cause them to raise prices or lower production levels.
 
Also, availability under our revolving credit facility may be adversely impacted by credit quality and performance of our customer accounts receivable. The availability under the revolving credit facility is


7


based on the amount of receivables that meet the eligibility criteria of the revolving credit facility. As receivable losses increase or credit quality deteriorates, the amount of eligible receivables declines and, in turn, lowers the availability under the facility.
 
These potential effects of the currentrecent global financial crisis are difficult to forecast and mitigate. As a consequence, our operating results for a particular period are difficult to predict, and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Any of the foregoing effects could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The recent global financial crisis may have significant effects on our customers that would result in our inability to borrow or to meet our debt service coverage ratio in our revolving credit facility
As of December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with our debt service coverage ratio covenant and other covenants contained in our revolving credit facility. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2010, declines in demand in the automotive industry and in sales volumes could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by the declines in demand in the automotive industry or the


7


economy in general, they may not be able to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which would make the accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base and our ability to borrow.
 
The industries in which we operate are cyclical and are affected by the economy in general.
 
We sell products to customers in industries that experience cyclicality (expectancy of recurring periods of economic growth and slowdown) in demand for products, and may experience substantial increases and decreases in business volume throughout economic cycles. Industries we serve, including the automotive and vehicle parts, heavy-duty truck, industrial equipment, steel, rail, electrical distribution and controls, aerospace and defense, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, electrical components, appliance and semiconductor equipment industries, are affected by consumer spending, general economic conditions and the impact of international trade. A downturn in any of the industries we serve, particularly the existing downturn in the domestic automotive and heavy-duty truck industry, would have, and continue to have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
Because a significant portion of our sales is to the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, a decrease in the demand of these industries or the loss of any of our major customers in these industries could adversely affect our financial health.
 
Demand for certain of our products is affected by, among other things, the relative strength or weakness of the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries. The domestic automotive and heavy-duty truck industries are highly cyclical and may be adversely affected by international competition. In addition, the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries are significantly unionized and subject to work slowdowns and stoppages resulting from labor disputes. We derived 20%19% and 13%4% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 20082009 from the automobile and heavy-duty truck industries, respectively. Dramatically lower global automotive sales have resulted in lower demand for our products. Further economic decline that results in a reduction in automotive sales and production by our customers will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Navistar, our largest customer, accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008. We made a decision to exit our relationship with Navistar effective December 31, 2008. The loss of a portion of business to any of our other major automotive or heavy-duty truck customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will maintain or improve our relationships in these industries or that we will continue to supply these customers at current levels.
 
Our Supply Technologies customers are generally not contractually obligated to purchase products and services from us.
 
Most of the products and services are provided to our Supply Technologies customers under purchase orders as opposed to long-term contracts. When we do enter into long-term contracts with our customers, many of them only establish pricing terms and do not obligate our customers to buy required minimum amounts from us or to buy from us exclusively. Accordingly, many of our Supply Technologies customers may decrease the amount of products and services that they purchase from us or even stop purchasing from us altogether, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and profitability.

We are dependent on key customers.
 
We rely on several key customers. For the year ended December 31, 2008,2009, our seventen largest customers accounted for approximately 20%23% of our net sales and our largest customer, Navistar, accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales. We made a decision to exit our relationship with Navistar effective December 31, 2008. Many of our customers place orders for products on an as-needed basis and operate in cyclical industries and, as a result, their order levels have varied from period to period in the past and may vary significantly in the future. Due to competitive issues, we have lost key customers in the past and may again in the future. Customer orders are dependent upon their markets and may be subject to delays or cancellations. As a result of dependence on our key customers, we could


8


experience a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations if any of the following were to occur:
 
 • the loss of any other key customer, in whole or in part;
 
 • the insolvency or bankruptcy of any key customer;
 
 • a declining market in which customers reduce orders or demand reduced prices; or
 
 • a strike or work stoppage at a key customer facility, which could affect both their suppliers and customers.
 
If any of our key customers become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be adversely affected and any payments we received in the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially recoverable, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
 
Three of our substantial customersDuring 2009, Chrysler’s U.S. operations, General Motor’s U.S. operations and Metaldyne Corporation filed voluntary petitions for reorganizationbankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code during 2005United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company has collected substantially all amounts that were due from Chrysler and 2006. Delphi Corp. and Dana Corporation, which are primarily customers of our Manufactured Products and Aluminum Products segments, filed in 2005, while Werner Ladder, which is primarily a customerGeneral Motors as of the Supply Technologies segment, filed in 2006. Collectively,dates of the respective bankruptcy filings and as such there was no charge to earnings as a result of these bankruptcies reduced our operating income inbankruptcies. The account receivable from Metaldyne at the aggregate by $1.8time of the bankruptcy was $4.2 million. The Company recorded a $4.2 million during 2005 and 2006.charge to reserve for the collection of the account receivable when Metaldyne announced it had completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to MD Investors Corporation, effectively making no payments to the unsecured creditors, including Park-Ohio.
 
We operate in highly competitive industries.
 
The markets in which all three of our segments sell their products are highly competitive. Some of our competitors are large companies that have greater financial resources than we have. We believe that the principal competitive factors for our Supply Technologies segment are an approach reflecting long-term business partnership and reliability, sourced product quality and conformity to customer specifications, timeliness of delivery, price and design and engineering capabilities. We believe that the principal competitive factors for our Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products segments are product quality and conformity to customer specifications, design and engineering capabilities, product development, timeliness of delivery and price. The rapidly evolving nature of the markets in which we compete may attract new entrants as they perceive opportunities, and our competitors may foresee the course of market development more accurately than we do. In addition, our competitors may develop products that are superior to our products or may adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies or evolving customer requirements.
 
We expect competitive pressures in our markets to remain strong. These pressures arise from existing competitors, other companies that may enter our existing or future markets and, in some cases, our customers, which may decide to internally produce items we sell. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors. Failure to compete successfully could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
The loss of key executives could adversely impact us.
 
Our success depends upon the efforts, abilities and expertise of our executive officers and other senior managers, including Edward Crawford, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Matthew Crawford, our President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as the president of each of our operating


9


units. An event of default occurs under our revolving credit facility if Messrs. E. Crawford and M. Crawford or certain of their related parties own less than 15% of our outstanding common stock, or if they own less than 15% of such stock, then if either Mr. E. Crawford or Mr. M. Crawford ceases to hold the office of chairman, chief executive officer or president. The loss of the services of Messrs. E. Crawford and


9


M. Crawford, senior and executive officers,and/or other key individuals could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
We may encounter difficulty in expanding our business through targeted acquisitions.
 
We have pursued, and may continue to pursue, targeted acquisition opportunities that we believe would complement our business, such as the acquisitions of NABS in 2006 and PPG in 2005.business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in consummating any acquisitions.
 
Any targeted acquisitions will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of businesses. We may not successfully overcome these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any of our acquisitions, including the possible inability to integrate an acquired business’ operations, IT technologies, services and products into our business, diversion of management’s attention, the assumption of unknown liabilities, increases in our indebtedness, the failure to achieve the strategic objectives of those acquisitions and other unanticipated problems, some or all of which could materially and adversely affect us. The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our activities. Any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with any acquisition and the integration of our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of our business.
 
Our Supply Technologies business depends upon third parties for substantially all of our component parts.
 
Supply Technologies purchases substantially all of its component parts from third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Our business is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic delays in the delivery of component parts. Failure by suppliers to continue to supply us with these component parts on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on us. We depend upon the ability of these suppliers, among other things, to meet stringent performance and quality specifications and to conform to delivery schedules. Failure by third-party suppliers to comply with these and other requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
The raw materials used in our production processes and by our suppliers of component parts are subject to price and supply fluctuations that could increase our costs of production and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Our supply of raw materials for our Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products businesses could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing. Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated significantly in the past and significant increases could adversely affect our results of operations and profit margins. While we generally attempt to pass along increased raw materials prices to our customers in the form of price increases, there may be a time delay between the increased raw materials prices and our ability to increase the price of our products, or we may be unable to increase the prices of our products due to pricing pressure or other factors.
 
Our suppliers of component parts, particularly in our Supply Technologies business, may significantly and quickly increase their prices in response to increases in costs of the raw materials, such as steel, that they use to manufacture our component parts. We may not be able to increase our prices commensurate with our increased costs. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.


10


The energy costs involved in our production processes and transportation are subject to fluctuations that are beyond our control and could significantly increase our costs of production.
 
Our manufacturing process and the transportation of raw materials, components and finished goods are energy intensive. Our manufacturing processes are dependent on adequate supplies of electricity and


10


natural gas. A substantial increase in the cost of transportation fuel, natural gas or electricity could have a material adverse effect on our margins. We experienced widely fluctuating natural gas costs in 2007 and in 2008. We may experience higher than anticipated gas costs in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, a disruption or curtailment in supply could have a material adverse effect on our production and sales levels.
 
Potential product liability risks exist from the products that we sell.
 
Our businesses expose us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of our products and products of third-party vendors that we use or resell. While we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable and adequate product liability insurance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our insurance on acceptable terms or that our insurance will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. In the event of a claim against us, a lack of sufficient insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Moreover, even if we maintain adequate insurance, any successful claim could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
Some of our employees belong to labor unions, and strikes or work stoppages could adversely affect our operations.
 
As of December 31, 2008,2009, we were a party to eightseven collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions that covered approximately 450350 full-time employees. Our inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions could result in, among other things, strikes, work stoppages or other slowdowns by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If the unionized workers were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown, or other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations and higher ongoing labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We operate and source internationally, which exposes us to the risks of doing business abroad.
 
Our operations are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including the following:
 
 • fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
 • limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings;
 
 • transportation delays and interruptions;
 
 • political, social and economic instability and disruptions;
 
 • government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions;
 
 • the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;
 
 • import and export controls;
 
 • labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;
 
 • the potential for nationalization of enterprises;


11


 • disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”):
 
 • difficulties in staffing and managing multinational operations;
 
 • limitations on our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; and
 
 • potentially adverse tax consequences.


11


 
In addition, we could be adversely affected by violations of the FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws. The FCPA and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments tonon-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We cannot assure you that our internal controls and procedures always will protect us from the reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for FCPA violations (either due to our own acts or our inadvertence or due to the acts or inadvertence of others), we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Any of the events enumerated above could have an adverse effect on our operations in the future by reducing the demand for our products and services, decreasing the prices at which we can sell our products or otherwise having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will continue to operate in compliance with applicable customs, currency exchange control regulations, transfer pricing regulations or any other laws or regulations to which we may be subject. We also cannot assure you that these laws will not be modified.
 
Unexpected delays in the shipment of large, long-lead industrial equipment could adversely affect our results of operations in the period in which shipment was anticipated.
 
Long-lead industrial equipment contracts are a significant and growing part of our business. We primarily use the percentage of completion method to account for these contracts. Nevertheless, under this method, a large proportion of revenues and earnings on such contracts are recognized close to shipment of the equipment. Unanticipated shipment delays on large contracts could postpone recognition of revenue and earnings into future periods. Accordingly, if shipment was anticipated in the fourth quarter of a year, unanticipated shipment delays could adversely affect results of operations in that year.
 
We are subject to significant environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and related compliance expenditures and liabilities.
 
Our businesses are subject to many foreign, federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, particularly with respect to the use, handling, treatment, storage, discharge and disposal of substances and hazardous wastes used or generated in our manufacturing processes. Compliance with these laws and regulations is a significant factor in our business. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenditures to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements could result in civil or criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of pollution control equipment or remedial actions.
 
We are currently, and may in the future be, required to incur costs relating to the investigation or remediation of property, including property where we have disposed of our waste, and for addressing environmental conditions. Some environmental laws and regulations impose liability and responsibility on present and former owners, operators or users of facilities and sites for contamination at such facilities and sites without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. In addition, we occasionally


12


evaluate various alternatives with respect to our facilities, including possible dispositions or closures. Investigations undertaken in connection with these activities may lead to discoveries of contamination that must be remediated, and closures of facilities may trigger compliance requirements that are not applicable to operating facilities. Consequently, we cannot assure you that existing or future circumstances, the development of new facts or the failure of third parties to address contamination at current or former facilities or properties will not require significant expenditures by us.


12


We expect to continue to be subject to increasingly stringent environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. It is difficult to predict the future interpretation and development of environmental and health and safety laws and regulations or their impact on our future earnings and operations. We anticipate that compliance will continue to require increased capital expenditures and operating costs. Any increase in these costs, or unanticipated liabilities arising for example out of discovery of previously unknown conditions or more aggressive enforcement actions, could adversely affect our results of operations, and there is no assurance that they will not exceed our reserves or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
 
If our information systems fail, our business will be materially affected.
 
We believe that our information systems are an integral part of the Supply Technologies segment and, to a lesser extent, the Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products segments. We depend on our information systems to process orders, manage inventory and accounts receivable collections, purchase products, maintain cost-effective operations, route and re-route orders and provide superior service to our customers. We cannot assure you that a disruption in the operation of our information systems used by Supply Technologies, including the failure of the supply chain management software to function properly, or those used by Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products will not occur. Any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
Operating problems in our business may materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
The occurrence of material operating problems at our facilities may have a material adverse effect on our operations as a whole, both during and after the period of operational difficulties. We are subject to the usual hazards associated with manufacturing and the related storage and transportation of raw materials, products and waste, including explosions, fires, leaks, discharges, inclement weather, natural disasters, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime and transportation interruption or calamities.
 
Our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our President and Chief Operating Officer collectively beneficially own a significant portion of our company’s outstanding common stock and their interests may conflict with yours.
 
As of February 27, 2009,26, 2010, Edward Crawford, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Matthew Crawford, our President and Chief Operating Officer, collectively beneficially owned approximately 28%30% of our common stock. Mr. E. Crawford is Mr. M. Crawford’s father. Their interests could conflict with your interests. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of Messrs. E. Crawford and M. Crawford may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
 
At December 31, 2008,2009, we were a co-defendant in approximately 315290 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 4,5001,200 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These


14


asbestos cases generally relate to production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.
 
In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from $25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought. To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the amount applies to claims against all named defendants.
 
There are only five asbestos cases, involving 2325 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the five cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In one case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory, punitive and other damages of at least $1.0 million for five separate causes of action; in three cases, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $3.0 million for four separate causes of action and $1.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million. In the otherfourth case, the plaintiff has alleged against each named defendant, compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $10.0 million for seven separate causes of action. In the fifth case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $20.0 million for three separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $20.0 million.
 
Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases on the basis that the plaintiff incorrectly sued one of our subsidiaries or because the plaintiff failed to identify any asbestos-containing product manufactured or sold by us or our subsidiaries. We intend to vigorously defend these asbestos cases, and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. However, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although our results of operations and cash flows for a particular period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Among the factors management considered in reaching this conclusion were: (a) our historical success in being dismissed from these types of lawsuits on the bases mentioned above; (b) many cases have been improperly filed against one of our subsidiaries; (c) in many cases , the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to us or our products or premises; (d) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any identifiable injury or compensable loss at all, that any injuries that they have incurred did in fact result from alleged exposure to asbestos; and (e) the complaints assert claims against multiple defendants and, in most cases, the damages alleged are not attributed to individual defendants. Additionally, we do not believe that the amounts claimed in any of the asbestos cases are meaningful indicators of our potential exposure because the amounts claimed typically bear no relation to the extent of the plaintiff’s injury, if any.
 
Our cost of defending these lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect its future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

Executive Overview
 
We are an industrial Total Supply Managementtm and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. In November 2007, our ILS business changed its name to Supply Technologies to better reflect its breadth of services and focus on driving efficiencies throughout the total supply management process. Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Managementtm, a proactive solutions approach that manages the efficiencies of every aspect of supplying production parts and materials to our customers’ manufacturing floor, from strategic planning to program implementation. Total Supply Managementtm includes such services as engineering and design support, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking,just-in-time andpoint-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of Supply Technologies are in the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, consumer electronics, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, agricultural and construction equipment, semiconductor equipment, plumbing, aerospace and defense, and appliance industries. Aluminum Products casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components such as pump housings, clutch retainers/pistons, control arms, knuckles, master cylinders, pinion housings, brake calipers, oil pans and flywheel spacers for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck and marine equipment OEMs, primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, injection molded rubber components, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs,sub-assemblers and end users in the steel, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, bottling, automotive, oil and gas, rail and locomotive manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note B to the consolidated financial statements.
 
During the years 2004 through 2007,On March 8, 2010, we refinanced both of our major sources of borrowed funds: senior subordinated notes and our revolving credit facility. In November 2004, we sold $210.0 million of 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014. We have amended our revolving credit facility most recently in June 2007, to, among other things, extend its maturity to December 2010, increaseJune, 2013 and reduce the credit limit toloan commitment from $270.0 million subject to $210.0 million, including the borrowing under a term loan A for $28.0 million, which is secured by real estate and machinery and equipment, and an asset-based formula and provide lower interest rate levels.unsecured term loan B for $12.0 million. See Note G.
 
In October 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of NABS for $21.2 million in cash. NABS is a premier international supply chain manager of production components, providing services to high technology companies in the computer, electronics, and consumer products industries. NABS had 14 international operations in China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Ireland, Hungary, Scotland and Mexico plus five locations in the United States.
 
In January 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Foundry Service for approximately $3.2 million in cash, which resulted in additional goodwill of $2.3 million. The acquisition was funded with borrowings from foreign subsidiaries of the Company.


20


In December 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Lectrotherm, which is primarily a provider of field service and spare parts for induction heating and melting systems, located in Canton,


20


Ohio, for $5.1 million cash funded with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This acquisition augments our existing, high-margin aftermarket induction business.
 
In July 2005, we acquired substantially all the assets of PPG, a provider of supply chain management services for a broad range of production components for $7.0 million cash funded with borrowings from our revolving credit facility, $.5 million in a short-term note payable and the assumption of approximately $13.3 million of trade liabilities. This acquisition added significantly to the customer and supplier bases, and expanded our geographic presence of our Supply Technologies segment.
 
The domestic and international automotive markets were significantly impacted in 2008, which adversely affected our business units serving those markets. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges associated with the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets. The charges were composed of $.6 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $17.5 million for impairment of property and equipment and other long-term assets. See Note O to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report onForm 10-K.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $95.8 million and restructuring and asset impairment charges of $13.4 million associated with the decision to exit its relationship with its largest customer, Navistar, along with the general economic downturn. The charges were composed of $5.0 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $8.4 million for impairment of property and equipment, loss on disposal of a foreign subsidiary and severance costs. Impairment charges were offset by a gain of $.6 million recorded in the Aluminum Products segment relating to the sale of certain facilities that were previously written off.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $7.0 million of asset impairment charges associated with general weakness in the economy including the railroad industry. The charges were composed of $1.8 million of inventory impairment included in Cost of Products Sold and $5.2 million for impairment of property and equipment
In 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $6.3 million on the purchase of $15.2 million principal amount of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (the “8.375% Notes”). In 2008, the Company recorded a gain of $6.2 million on the purchase of $11.0 million principal amount of the 8.375% Notes.
Approximately 20% of the Company’s consolidated net sales are to the automotive markets. The recent deterioration in the global economy and global credit markets continues to negatively impact the automotive markets. General Motors, Ford and Chrsyler have encountered severe financial difficulty, which could ultimately resultresulted in the bankruptcy of Chrysler and General Motors and could result in one orbankruptcy for more of these domestic automobile manufacturers and their suppliers such as the bankruptcy of Metaldyne, which in turn, would adversely affect the financial condition of the Company��sCompany’s automobile OEM customers. In 2009, the Company recorded a charge of $4.2 million to fully reserve for the account receivable from Metaldyne. In 2010, the Company expects that its business, results of operations and financial condition will continue to be negatively impacted by the performance of the automotive markets.
Accounting Changes and Goodwill
On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status ( i.e. , the difference between the Company’s fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) of its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans (collectively, the “postretirement benefit plans”) in the December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of FAS 87 and FAS 106, all of which were previously netted against the postretirement benefit plans’ funded status in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the provisions of FAS 87 and FAS 106. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic benefit cost in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy for amortizing these amounts. In addition, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic benefit cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of FAS 158.

Consolidated net sales declined $367.8 million to $701.0 million compared to $1,068.8 million in 2008 as the Company experienced volume declines in each segment resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognizedthe challenging global economic downturn. Supply Technologies sales decreased 37% primarily due to volume reductions in the financial statements and establishes a fair-value measurement objective in determining the valueheavy-duty truck industry, of such a cost.

The adoption of fair-value recognition provisions for stock options increasedwhich $83.0 million resulted from the Company’s fiscaldecision to exit its relationship with its largest customer in the fourth quarter of 2008. The remaining sales reductions were due to the overall declining demand from customers in most end-markets partially offset by the addition of new customers. Aluminum Products sales decreased 29% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting productionramp-up. Manufactured Products sales decreased 33% primarily from the declining business environment in each of its business reporting units. Approximately 20% of the Company’s consolidated net sales are to the automotive markets. Net sales to the automotive markets as a percentage of sales by segment were approximately 8%, 83% and 5% for the Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products Segments, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased $17.7 million to $87.8 million in 2009 compared to $105.5 million in 2008 representing a 260 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses decreased on a dollar basis in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to employee workforce reductions, salary cuts, suspension of the Company’s voluntary contribution to its 401(k) defined contribution plan, less business travel and a reduction in volume of business offset by a reduction in pension income. SG&A expenses benefited in 2009 from a reduction of $3.6 million resulting from a second quarter change in our vacation benefit, which is now earned throughout the calendar year rather than earned in full at the beginning of the year, but was offset by a $4.2 million charge to fully reserve for an account receivable from a customer in bankruptcy.

Consolidated net sales were essentially flat in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as growth in Manufactured Products segment nearly offset declines in Aluminum Products sales resulting from reduced automotive sales and Supply Technologies sales resulting from reduced sales to the semiconductor, lawn and garden, auto, plumbing and heavy-duty truck markets. Supply Technologies sales decreased 2% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy-duty truck industry, partially offset by the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. Aluminum Products sales decreased 8% as the general decline in auto industry sales volumes exceeded additional sales from new contracts starting productionramp-up. Manufactured Products sales increased 5% primarily in the induction, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses, due largely to worldwide strength in the steel, oil & gas, aerospace and rail industries. Approximately 20% of the Company’s consolidated net sales are to the automotive markets. Net sales to the automotive markets as a percentage of sales by segment were

introduction of new environmental standards at the beginning of 2007. Supply Technologies sales decreased 11% primarily due to volume reductions in the heavy-duty truck industry, partially offset by $29.5 million of additional sales from the October 2006 acquisition of NABS, the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. New customers in the Supply Technologies segment came from organic sales, while new sales in the Aluminum Products segment primarily reflect sales to new customers. Aluminum Products sales increased 9% as the sales volumes from new contracts starting productionramp-up exceeded the end of production of other parts and the general decline in auto industry sales volumes. Manufactured Products sales increased 22%, primarily in the induction equipment, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses, due largely to worldwide strength in the steel, oil and gas, aerospace and rail industries. At the end of fourth quarter 2007, the Company adjusted downward the amount initially recorded for revenue by approximately $18.0 million to reflect the exclusion of certain costs from suppliers and subcontractors from the percentage of completion calculation that is used to account for long-term industrial equipment contracts.

Supply Technologies gross margin increased slightly, as the margin benefit from sales from the NABS acquisition and new customers outweighed the effect of reduced heavy-truck sales volume and higher restructuring charges in 2007. Supply Technologies 2006 and 2007 cost of products sold included $.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively of inventory related restructuring charges associated with the closure of a manufacturing plant. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased primarily due to the costs associated with starting up new contracts and the slowramp-up of new contract volume.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company reversed $5.0 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance, increasing net income for that year and substantially eliminating this reserve. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax asset would be realized.
The provision for income taxes was $10.0 million in 2007 compared to $3.2 million in 2006, which was reduced by the $5.0 million reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The effective income tax rate was 32% in 2007, compared to 12% in 2006. Excluding the reversal of the tax valuation allowance in 2006, the Company provided $8.2 million of income taxes, a 30% effective income tax rate. We are presenting taxes and tax rates without the tax benefit of the tax valuation allowance reversal to facilitate comparison between the periods.
The Company’s net operating loss carryforward precluded the payment of most cash federal income taxes in both 2007 and 2006, and should similarly preclude such payments in 2008 and substantially reduce them in 2009. At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $41.6 million, which will expire between 2021 and 2027.
 
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
 
Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. In 2003, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a group of banks which, as subsequently amended, matures at December 31, 2010June 30, 2013 and provides for availability of up to $270$170 million subject to an asset-based formula. We have the option to increase the availability under the revolving loan portion of the credit facility by $25 million. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets in the United States Canada and the United Kingdom.Canada. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $141.2 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $34.2 million of unused borrowing availability.
On March 8, 2010, the revolving credit facility was amended and restated to, among other things, extend its maturity date to June 30, 2013, reduce the loan commitment from $270.0 million to $210.0 million which includes a term loan A for $28.0 million that is secured by real estate and machinery and equipment and an unsecured term loan B for $12.0 million. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at the Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus .75%3% to 1.75%4% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate.rate plus 1%, at the Company’s election. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Under the revolving credit facility, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable inventory and fixed assets. Asinventory. Interest on the term loan A is at either (i) LIBOR plus 4% to 5% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 2%, at the Company’s election. Interest on the term loan B is at either (i) LIBOR plus 6% to 7% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 4.5%, at the Company’s election. The term loan A is amortized based on a ten-year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The term loan B is amortized over a two-year period plus 50% of December 31, 2008, the Company had $164.6 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $47.1 million of unused borrowing availability.debt service coverage excess capped at $3.5 million.
 
Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving loan portion of the credit facility is based on the Company’s ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchasesand/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. It may also repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
 
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets may adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future. These market conditions may limit the Company’s ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to grow and maintain its business. Accordingly, the Company may be forced to delay raising capital issue shorter tenors than the Company prefers or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase its interest expense, decrease its profitability and significantly reduce its financial flexibility. There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.
 
At December 31, 2008,2009, the Company was in compliance with the debt service ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2009,2010, further declines in demand in the automotive industry and in sales volumes in 20092010 could adversely impact our ability to remain in compliance with certain of these financial covenants. Additionally, to the extent our customers are adversely affected by the declines in demand in the automotive industry or the economy in general, they may not be able to pay their accounts payable to us on a timely basis or at all, which would make those accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base.
 
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.90 at December 31, 2009 versus 2.22 at December 31, 2008 versus 2.40 at December 31, 2007.2008. Working capital decreased by $18.0$23.6 million to $229.3 million at December 31, 2009 from $252.9 million at December 31, 2008 from $270.9 million at December 31, 2007.2008. Accounts receivable decreased $6.6$61.1 million to $104.6 million in 2009 from $165.8 million in 2008 from $172.42008. Inventory decreased by $46.7 million in 2007. Inventory increased by $13.42009 to $182.1 million from $228.8 million in 2008 to $228.8 million from $215.4 million in 2007 while accrued expenses increaseddecreased by $7.4$35.3 million to $74.4$39.1 million in 20082009 from $67.0$74.4 in 20072008 and accounts payable remained essentiallydecreased $46.9 million to $75.1 million in 2009 from $122.0 million in 2008.
During 2009, the same for each year.Company provided $43.9 million from operating activities as compared to providing $8.5 million in 2008. The increase in cash provision of $35.4 million was primarily the result of a decrease in net operating assets in 2009 compared to an increase in 2008 ($30.7 million compared to $(9.6) million, respectively) and a decrease in net loss of $114.6 million. The decrease in net loss was partially offset by approximately $5.2 million of noncash restructuring and impairment charges in 2009. During 2009, the Company also invested $5.6 million in capital expenditures, reduced its bank and other debt by $34.4 million, and purchased $.2 million of its common stock.
 
During 2008, the Company provided $8.5 million from operating activities as compared to $31.5 million from operating activities in 2007. The decrease in cash provision of $23.0 million was primarily the result of a slightly greater increasedecrease in net operating assets in 2008 compared to 2007 ($22.6(9.6) million compared to $19.0$(19.0) million), a net income in 2007 of $21.2 million compared to a net loss of $119.8 million in 2008 offset by non-cash restructuring and impairment charges of $121.1 million in 2008 compared to $2.2 million in 2007.

During 2008, the Company also invested $17.5 million in capital expenditures, $5.3 million for business acquisitions, received proceeds from bank arrangements of $25.6 million and $3.0 million from the sales of marketable securities and used $4.7 million to purchase $11.0 million aggregate principal amount of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.the 8.375% senior subordinated notesNotes and purchased $5.9 million of its common stock.
During 2007, the Company provided $31.5 million from operating activities as compared to providing $6.1 million in 2006. The increase in cash provision of $25.4 million was primarily the result of a smaller increase in net operating assets in 2007 compared to 2006 ($19.0 million compared to $35.0 million, respectively), a deferred income tax provision of $4.3 million in 2007 compared to a $4.4 million deferred tax benefit in 2006, partially offset by a decrease in net income of $3.0 million. The decrease in net income was partially offset by approximately $2.2 million of noncash restructuring and impairment charges in 2007. During 2007, the Company also invested $21.9 million in capital expenditures, received $4.4 million from the sale of assets held for sale, paid back $14.8 million on its bank and other debt, invested $5.1 million in marketable securities and purchased $2.2 million of its common stock.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. There are occasions whereupon we enter into forward contracts on foreign

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions which affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Management has made their best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe that there is great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue, other than from long-term contracts, when title is transferred to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from long-term contracts (approximately 16%10% of consolidated revenue) is accounted for under the percentage of completion method, and recognized on the basis of the percentage each contract’s cost to date bears to the total estimated contract cost. Revenue earned on contracts in process in excess of billings is classified in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s revenue recognition


28


policies are in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.”
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:  Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Allowances are developed by the individual operating units based on historical losses, adjusting for economic conditions. Our policy is to identify and reserve for specific collectibility concerns based on customers’ financial condition and payment history. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Writeoffs of accounts receivable have historically been low.
 
Allowance for Obsolete and Slow Moving Inventory:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and have been reduced by an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand with minimal sales activity, which is compared to estimated future usage and sales. Inventories identified by management as slow-moving or obsolete are reserved for based on estimated selling prices less disposal costs. Though we consider these allowances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which we operate could have a material effect on reserve allowances required.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:  Long-livedIn accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, management performs impairment tests of long-lived assets, areincluding property and equipment, whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or the useful life of the asset has changed. We reviewed by managementour long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever eventssuch as a decision to idle certain facilities and consolidate certain operations, a current-period operating or changescash flow loss or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset and the expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life especially in circumstances indicatelight of the recent volume declines and volatility in the automotive markets along with the general economic downturn and our goodwill impairment. When we identified impairment indicators, we determined whether the carrying amount may not be recoverable.of our long-lived assets was recoverable by comparing the carrying value to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. We considered whether impairments existed at the lowest level of independent identifiable cash flows within a reporting unit (for example, plant location, program level or asset level). If the carrying value of the assets exceeded the expected cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of these assets by using appraisals or recent selling experience in selling similar assets or for certain assets with reasonably predicable cash flows by performing discounted cash flow analysis using the same discount rate used as the weighted average cost of capital in the respective goodwill impairment analysis to estimate fair value when market information wasn’t available to determine whether an impairment existed. Certain assets were abandoned and written down to scrap or appraised value. During 2008, 2005 and 2003, the Company decided to exit certain under-performing product lines and to close or consolidate certain operating facilities and, accordingly, recorded restructuring andasset impairment charges as discussed aboveof approximately $23.0 million, of which approximately $13.8 million was determined based on appraisals or scrap value and approximately $9.2 million was based on discounted cash flow analysis. The impact of a one percentage point change in the discount rate used in performing the discounted cash flow analysis would have been less than $1.0 million with respect to the asset impairment charges. In 2009, the Company recorded $7.0 million of asset impairment charges of which $5.2 million was based on appraisals and $1.8 million was based on other valuation methods. See Note O to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.statements.
 
Restructuring:  We recognize costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force IssueNo. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs incurred in a Restructuring)”(“EITF 94-3”), and SAB No. 100, “Restructuring and Impairment Charges,” for charges prior to 2003.ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations”. Detailed contemporaneous documentation is maintained and updated on a quarterly basis to ensure that accruals are properly supported. If management determines that there is a change in the estimate, the accruals are adjusted to reflect the changes.
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FAS 146”), which nullifiedEITF 94-3 and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at the fair value only when the liability is incurred. FAS 146 has no effect on charges recorded for exit activities begun prior to 2002.
Goodwill:  We adopted FAS 142As required by ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, (“ASC 350”) management performs impairment testing of goodwill at least annually as of JanuaryOctober 1 2002. Under FAS 142, we are required to review goodwill for impairment annuallyof each year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We have completed


29


In accordance with ASC 350, management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is a reportable operating segment pursuant to ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”, or one level below the reportable operating segment (component level) as determined by the availability of discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by operating segment management or an aggregate of component levels of a reportable operating segment having similar economic characteristics. Prior to our 2008 impairment analysis, we had four reporting units with recorded goodwill including Supply Technologies (included in the Supply Technologies Segment) with $64.6 million of goodwill, Engineered Specialty Products (included in the Supply Technology Segment) with $14.7 million of goodwill, Aluminum Products with $16.5 million of goodwill and Capital Equipment (included in the Manufactured Products segment) with $4.1 million of goodwill. At the time of goodwill impairment testing, management determined fair value of the reporting units through the use of a discounted cash flow valuation model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved for each reporting unit. If the calculated fair value is less than the carrying value, impairment of the reporting unit may exist. The use of a discounted cash flow valuation model to determine estimated fair value is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available domestic and international transactional market evidence to determine the fair value. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model for impairment testing include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates. Discount rates are set by using the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) methodology. The WACC methodology considers market and industry data as well as company-specific risk factors for each reporting unity in determining the appropriate discount rates to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit, which ranged from 12% to 18%, is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. Operational management, considering industry and company-specific historical and projected data, develops growth rates and cash flow projections for each reporting unit. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and low long-term growth rates. The projections developed for the 2008 impairment test reflected managements’ view considering the significant market downturn during the fourth quarter of 2008. As an indicator that each reporting unit has been valued appropriately through the use of the discounted cash flow model, the aggregate fair value of all reporting units is reconciled to the market capitalization of the Company, which had a significant decline in the fourth quarter of 2008. We have completed the annual impairment test as of October 1, 2007, 2006 2005 and 20042005 and have determined that no goodwill impairment existed as of those dates. We completed the annual impairment tests as of October 1, 2008 and updated these tests, as necessary, as of December 31, 2008. See Note D toWe concluded that all of the consolidated financial statements.goodwill in three of the reporting units for a total of $95.8 million was impaired and written off in the fourth quarter of 2008. At December 31, 2008 the Company had remaining goodwill of $4.1 million in the Capital Equipment reporting unit. We completed the annual impairment tests as of October 1, 2009 and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed for the remaining goodwill in the Capital Equipment reporting unit.
 
Income Taxes:  We accountIn accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, (“ASC 740”) the Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. In determining these amounts, management determined the probability of realizingSpecifically, we measure gross deferred tax assets taking into consideration factors including historicalfor deductible temporary differences and carryforwards, such as operating results, cumulative earningslosses and losses, expectations of future earningstax credits, using the applicable enacted tax rates and taxable income andapply the extended period of time over which the postretirement benefits will be paid and accordingly records a tax valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not measurement criterion.
ASC 740 provides that some portionfuture realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference or allcarryforward ultimately depends on the existence of oursufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback, carryforward period available under the tax law. The Company analyzed the four possible sources of taxable income as set forth in ASC 740 and concluded that the only relevant sources of taxable income is the reversal of its existing taxable temporary differences. The Company reviewed the projected timing of the reversal of its taxable temporary differences and determined that such reversals will offset the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized as required by FAS 109. We made significant estimates and judgments in orderprior to determine the extent thattheir expiration.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans:  We and our subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory defined benefit or noncontributory defined contribution plans and postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all employees. The measurement of liabilities related to these plans is based on management’s assumptions related to future events, including interest rates, return on pension plan assets, rate of compensation increases, and health care cost trends. Pension plan asset performance in the future will directly impact our net income. We have evaluated our pension and other postretirement benefit assumptions, considering current trends in interest rates and market conditions and believe our assumptions are appropriate.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123R. FAS 123RASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and establishes a fair-value measurement objective in determining the value of such a cost. FAS 123Rcost and was effective as of January 1, 2006. FAS 123R is a revision of FAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. The adoption of fair-value recognition provisions for stock options increased the Company’s 2009, 2008 2007 and 20062007 compensation expense by $.4 million, $.4 million and $.3 million (before-tax), respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Changes:Pronouncements
In May 2005,June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and Statement of Financial168, “The FASB Accounting Standards No. 3, “ReportingCodification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.”Principles”. The statement changesmakes the requirements forASC the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle and is applicable to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if that pronouncementstandards, but it does not include specific transition provisions.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance that modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and pre-acquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The new guidance was adopted prospectively by the Company, effective January 1, 2009.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) 132(R)-1, “Employers Disclosures about Post Retirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 providesnew guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance addresses disclosures related to the categories of plan assets and fair value measurements of plan assets. This staff position is effective forThe new guidance was adopted by the Company ineffective January 1, 2009 and will havehad no effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In MarchEffective January 1, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 modifies existing requirements to include qualitative disclosures regarding the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The pronouncement also requires the cross-referencing of derivative disclosures within the financial statements and notes thereto. The requirements of FAS 161 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 161 on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”). FAS 160 modifies the reporting for noncontrolling interests in the balance sheet and minority interest income (expense) in the income statement. The pronouncement also requires that increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount be accounted for as equity transactions. FAS 160 is required to be adopted prospectively, with limited exceptions, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FAS 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and preacquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The pronouncement also requires that transaction costs be expensed as incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. FAS 141R is required to be adopted prospectively effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The pronouncement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect to measure its financial instruments or any other items at fair value as permitted by FAS 159. Therefore, the adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years formeasures financial assets and liabilities and for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities.at fair value in three levels of inputs. The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material effect onthree-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the Company’s financial position or results of operations.inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is:
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s financial assets subject to FAS 157 consisted of marketable equity securities and other investments totaling $.9 million and $5.2 million respectively. The marketable securities are classified as having Level 1 inputs, as the fair value is— Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. The other investments are classified as having
Level 2 inputs, as the fair value is— Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included withinin Level 1, that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, includingsuch as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

similar assets in marketsIn April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance that areif an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not active; inputs other thanorderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for its quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance which requires that publicly traded companies include the fair value disclosures in their interim financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2009 the approximate fair value of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 was $144.3 million based on Level 1 inputs. The company had other investments having Level 2 inputs totaling $6.8 million.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance which addresses the types and timing of events that should be reported in the financial statements for events occurring between the balance sheet date and the date the financial statements are observableissued or available to be issued. This guidance was effective for the asset; and inputs that are derived principally fromCompany on June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s’ consolidated financial position or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.results of operations.

Our results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.
 
The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on our floating rate revolving credit facility, which consisted of borrowings of $164.6$141.2 million at December 31, 2008.2009. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.6$1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.2009.
 
Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During 2008,2009, we recorded an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $8.7$3.0 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.
 
Our largest exposures to commodity prices relate to steel and natural gas prices, which have fluctuated widely in recent years. We do not have any commodity swap agreements, forward purchase or hedge contracts for steel but have entered into forward purchase contracts for a portion of our anticipated natural gas usage through April 2008.2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 20082009 and 20072008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20082009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note H to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Incomes Taxes”, effective January 1, 2007.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 12, 200915, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.
 
We have audited Park-Ohio Holding Corp.’s and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the related consolidated statements of consolidated operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended DeceberDecember 31, 20082009 of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries and our report dated March 12, 200915, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTE A —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NOTE A — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements or financings with unconsolidated entities or other persons. In the ordinary course of business, the Company leases certain real properties as described in Note L. Transactions with related parties are in the ordinary course of business, are conducted on an arm’s-length basis, and are not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Accounting Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash Equivalents:  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Marketable Securities:  Marketable securities which consist of equity securities are classified as available for sale and are included in other current assets. The securities are carried at their fair value and net unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are carried as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss).
Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower offirst-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market value. Inventory reserves were $22,312$21,456 and $20,432$22,312 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Inventory consigned to others was $3,160 and 2007,$5,025 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Major Classes of Inventories
 
                
 December 31,  December 31, 
 2008 2007  2009 2008 
Finished goods $129,939  $129,074  $100,309  $129,939 
Work in process  29,648   26,249   26,778   29,648

 $228,817  $215,409  $182,116  $228,817 
          
 
Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Additions and associated interest costs are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations. Depreciation of fixed assets is computed principally by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 25 to 60 years for buildings, and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their full carrying value may not be recoverable. See Note O.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsAssets:
We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill) and identifiable acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the assets’ carrying amount. We measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset, or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining


40


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment of identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives, if any, to be recognized is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows. We measure the amount of impairment of other long-lived assets (excluding goodwill) as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset,


41


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
which is generally determined, based on projected discounted future cash flows or appraised values. We classify long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale as held and used until they are disposed.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“SFAS”ASC”) No. 142, “Goodwill350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”Other” (“FAS 142”ASC 350”), the Company does not amortize goodwill recorded in connection with business acquisitions. The Company completed the annual impairment tests required by FAS 142ASC 350 as of October 1, 2008 and updated these tests as necessary as of December 31, 2008. See Note D for the results of this testing.2009. Other intangible assets, which consist primarily of non-contractual customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
We use an income approach and other valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transactions, we believe that the use ofusing this methodmethodology provides reasonable estimates of a reporting unit’s fair value. The income approach is based on projected future debt-free cash flow that is discounted to present value using factors that consider the timing and risk of the future cash flows. We believe that this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating and cash flow performance. This approach also mitigates most of the impact of cyclical downturns that occur in the reporting unit’s industry. The income approach is based on a reporting unit’s projection of operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital. The projection is based upon our best estimates of projected economic and market conditions over the related period including growth rates, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements based on management projections. There are inherent uncertainties, however, related to these factors and to our judgment in applying them to this analysis. Nonetheless, we believe that this method provides a reasonable approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits:  The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory defined benefit or noncontributory defined contribution plans, covering substantially all employees. In addition, See Note D for the Company has two unfunded postretirement benefit plans. For the defined benefit plans, benefits are based on the employee’s yearsresults of service. For the defined contribution plans, the costs charged to operations and the amount funded are based upon a percentage of the covered employees’ compensation.this testing.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:  Effective January 1, 2006,The Company follows the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” (“FAS 123(R)”ASC 718”), using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
FAS 123(R) was issued on December 16, 2004 and is a revision of FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” FAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB Opinion 25”) and amends SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in FAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However, FAS 123(R)which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an

alternative.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
alternative. The adoption of fair value recognition provisions for share-based awards increased the Company’s fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 compensation expense by $436, $412 and $299 (before tax), respectively.
As permitted by FAS 123, the Company previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options. FAS 123(R)ASC 718 also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under previous accounting guidance. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior years was zero because the Company did not owe federal income taxes due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided.
 
The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in the following fiscal years:
         
  Years Ended December 31, 
  2008  2007 
 
Risk — free interest rate  3.33%  4.62%
Expected life of option in years  6.0   6.0 
Expected dividend yield  0%  0%
Expected stock volatility  53%  57%
The weighted average fair market value of options issued for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was estimated to be $7.48 and $12.92 per share, respectively. There were no options issued for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Additional information regarding our share-based compensation program is provided in Note I.
 
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations:  In accordance with FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional AssetASC 410 “Asset Retirement Obligations — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143”, “Accounting for Asset Retirementand Environmental Obligations”, the Company has identified certain conditional asset retirement obligations at various current manufacturing facilities. These obligations relate primarily to asbestos abatement. Using investigative, remediation, and disposal methods that are currently available to the Company, the estimated cost of these obligations is not significant and management does not believe that any potential liability ultimately attributed to the Company for its conditional asset retirement obligations will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, or cash flow due to the extended period of time during which investigation and remediation takes place. An estimate of the potential impact on the Company’s operations cannot be made due to the aforementioned uncertainties. Management expects these contingent asset retirement obligations to be resolved over an extended period of time. Management is


42


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
unable to provide a more specific time frame due to the indefinite amount of time to conduct investigation activities at any site, the indefinite amount of time to obtain governmental agency approval, as necessary, with respect to investigation and remediation activities, and the indefinite amount of time necessary to conduct remediation activities.
 
Income Taxes:  The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the current enacted tax rates. In determining these amounts, management determined the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, taking into consideration factors including historical operating results, cumulative earnings and


42


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
losses, expectations of future earnings, taxable income and the extended period of time over which the postretirement benefits will be paid and accordingly records valuation allowances if, based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized as required by SFAS No. 109ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”ASC 740”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.”.
 
Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue, other than from long-term contracts, when title is transferred to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from long-term contracts (approximately 16%10% of consolidated revenue) is accounted for under the percentage of completion method, and recognized on the basis of the percentage each contract’s cost to date bears to the total estimated contract cost. Revenue earned on contracts in process in excess of billings is classified in unbilled contract revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.”
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:  Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s policy is to identify and reserve for specific collectibility concerns based on customers’ financial condition and payment history. On November 16, 2007, the Company entered into a five-year Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement whereby one specific customer’s accounts receivable may be sold without recourse to a third-party financial institution on a revolving basis. During 20082009 and 2007,2008, we sold approximately $33,814$20,832 and $10,400,$33,814, respectively, of accounts receivable to mitigate accounts receivable concentration risk and to provide additional financing capacity. In compliance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for TransfersASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“FAS 140”)Servicing”, sales of accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds are included in the cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash flows. In 20082009 and 2007,2008, a loss in the amount of $200$86 and $84,$200, respectively, related to the sale of accounts receivable is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.Operations. These losses represented implicit interest on the transactions.
 
Software Development Costs:  Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing feasibility through the general release of the software products are capitalized and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a working model. All costs prior to the development of the working model are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which is the estimated useful life of the software product. Amortization expense was $1,454, $1,288 and $1,287 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk:  The Company sells its products to customers in diversified industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition but does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. As of December 31, 2008,2009, the Company had uncollateralized receivables with fivesix customers in the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries,industry, each with several locations, aggregating $22,241,$17,363, which represented approximately 13%16% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable. During 2008,2009, sales to these customers amounted to approximately $170,740,$77,297, which represented approximately 16%11% of the Company’s net sales.

Shipping and Handling Costs:  All shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Income Statements.Statements of Operations.
 
Environmental:  The Company accrues environmental costs related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no current or future benefit is discernible. Costs that extend the life of the related property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are


43


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
capitalized. The Company records a liability when environmental assessmentsand/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The estimated liability of the Company is not discounted or reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers.
 
Foreign Currency Translation:  The functional currency for all subsidiaries outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and weighted-average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008,June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP 132(R)-1, “Employers Disclosures about Post Retirement Benefit Plan Assets.” FSP 132(R)-1 providesStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The statement makes the ASC the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, but it does not change U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted the statement as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements for the interim period ending September 30, 2009, and the financial statements for future interim and annual periods will reflect the ASC references. The statement has no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance that modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and pre-acquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The new guidance was adopted prospectively by the Company, effective January 1, 2009.
In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance addresses disclosures related to the categories of plan assets and fair value measurements of plan assets. This Staff Position is effective forThe new guidance was adopted by the Company ineffective January 1, 2009 and will havehad no effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In MarchEffective January 1, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 modifies existing requirements to include qualitative disclosures regarding the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The pronouncement also requires the cross-referencing of derivative disclosures within theCompany measures financial statements and notes thereto. The requirements of FAS 161 are effective for the Company in 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”). FAS 160 modifies the reporting for noncontrolling interests in the balance sheet and minority interest income (expense) in the income statement. The pronouncement also requires that increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount be accounted for as equity transactions. FAS 160 is required to be adopted prospectively, with limited exceptions, effective for the Company in 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value contingent consideration arrangements be recorded atin three levels of inputs.

FAS 159In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance that if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginninginterim and annual periods ending after NovemberJune 15, 2007.2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

NOTE D —FAS 142, “GoodwillGoodwill and Other Intangible Assets”Assets
 
FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles”,ASC 350, requires that our annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the “reporting unit” level. At October 1, 2008, the Company had four reporting units that had goodwill. Under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142,ASC 350, these four reporting units were tested for impairment as of October 1, 2008 and updated as of December 31, 2008, as necessary. During the fourth quarter of 2008, indicators of potential impairment caused us to update our impairment tests. Those indicators included the following: a significant decrease in market capitalization; a decline in recent operating results; and a decline in our business outlook primarily due to the macroeconomic environment. In accordance with FAS 142,ASC 350, we completed an impairment analysis and concluded that all of the goodwill in three of the reporting units for a total of $95,763 was impaired and written off in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company is a party to a credit and security agreement dated November 5, 2003, as amended (“Credit Agreement”), with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit up to $270,000. The credit agreement, as amended, provides lower interest rate brackets and modified certain covenants to provide greater flexibility.$270,000 at December 31, 2009. The Credit Agreement currently contains a detailed borrowing base formula that provides borrowing capacity to the Company based on negotiated percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. At December 31, 2008,2009, the Company had approximately $47,070$34,172 of unused borrowing capacity available under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly at either the bank’s prime lending rate (3.25% at December 31, 2008) or, at the Company’s election, at LIBOR plus .75% to 1.75%. The Company’s ability to elect LIBOR-based interest rates as well as the overall interest rate are dependent on the Company’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Up to $40,000 in standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit may be issued under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2008,2009, in addition to amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement, there was $10,519$8,552 outstanding primarily for standby letters of credit.

Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (i) LIBOR plus 3% to 4% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 1% at the Company’s election. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on the term loan A is at either (i) LIBOR plus 4% to 5% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 2% at the Company’s election. Interest on the term loan B is at either (i) LIBOR plus 6% to 7% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 4.5%, at the Company’s election. The term loan A is amortized based on a ten year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The term loan B is amortized over a two-year period plus 50% of debt service coverage excess capped at $3,500.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company also recognized a tax benefit for net operating losses of $1,284 for state income taxes which it had determined are more likely than not will be fully realized in the future. As of December 31, 2008 the Company was in a cumulative three-year loss position and determined that it was not more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, as of December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance of $33,466 against its U.S. net deferred tax assets. The Company reviews all valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets and will reverse these valuation allowances, partially or totally, when appropriate under FAS 109.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, primarily codified under ASC 740, on January 1, 2007. As a result of thethis implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $608 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits which was accounted for as a reduction in retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as ofon the date of the adoption was approximately $4,691. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $4,633 at December 31, 2009 and $4,692 at December 31, 2008 and $4,311 at December 31, 2007.2008. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, the Company recognized approximately $94$42 and $57,$94, respectively, in net interest and penalties. The Company had approximately $631$673 and $537$631 for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, respectively. The Company does not expect that the unrecognized tax benefit will change significantly within the next twelve months.
 
Deferred taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries as it is the Company’s policy and intent to permanently reinvest such earnings. The Company has determined that it is not practical to determine the deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings.
 
NOTE I —Stock Plan
 
Under the provisions of the Company’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“1998 Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, performance shares or stock awards may be awarded to directors and all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Stock options will be exercisable in whole or in installments as may be determined provided that no options will be exercisable more than ten years from date of grant. The exercise price will be the fair

market value at the date of grant. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the 1998 Plan is 2,650,000,3,100,000, all of which may be incentive stock options. No more than 500,000 shares shall be the subject of awards to any individual participant in any one calendar year.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS 123(R) and elected to use the modified prospective transition method. The modified prospective transition method requires that compensation cost be recognized in the financial statements for all stock option awards granted after the date of adoption and for all unvested stock option awards granted prior to the date of adoption. In accordance with FAS 123(R), prior period amounts were not restated. Additionally, the Company elected to calculate its initial pool of excess tax benefits using the simplified alternative approach described in FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company utilized the intrinsic-value based method of accounting under APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related


53


PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
interpretations, and adopted the disclosure requirements of FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
Prior to January 1, 2006, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for stock option awards under the intrinsic-value based method. The adoption of FAS 123(R) reduced operating income before income taxes for 2008, 2007 and 2006 by $436, $412 and $299.
 
The fair value of significant stock option awards granted during 2008 and 2007 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following assumptions:
 
Assumptions:
         
  2008 2007
 
Weighted average fair value per option $7.48  $12.92 
Risk-free interest rate  3.33%  4.62%
Dividend yield  0%  0%
Expected stock volatility  53%  57%
Expected life — years  6.0   6.0 
 
         
  2008  2007 
 
Weighted average fair value per option $7.48  $12.92 
Risk-free interest rate  3.33%  4.62%
Dividend yield  0%  0%
Expected stock volatility  53%  57%
Expected life — years  6.0   6.0 
The weighted average fair market value of options issued for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was estimated to be $7.48 and $12.92 per share, respectively. There were no options awarded in 2009.
 
There were no options awarded during the year ended December 31, 2006.2009.
 
Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, and expected volatility. The SEC simplified method per SABStaff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 is the basis for the assumptions of the expected lives of the options. The Company uses the simplified method, pursuant to the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 107 and 110, to value the expected lives of its “plain vanilla” options in accordance with ASC 718 because it believes that it is unable to rely on its historical exercise data as a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected lives based upon the following:
Most of our historical grant and exercise data are from options granted with an option exercise price of $1.91 in November 2001. The employees included in this grant were middle management to executive level whereas current option grants are at the executive level. Therefore, exercise data from the November 2001 grant are not representative of current option grants. The size of our recent option grants is small, and only a select few executives now receive options. Exercises for the executives are particularly driven by their individual tax considerations. Other factors are share price growth and elapsed time. The data on these drivers are insufficient to support estimates of future expected lives of new grants and historical exercise data for the executives are sparse due to short elapsed option lives and unfavorable share price paths. The Company will discontinue using the simplified method when it can rely on its historical exercise data.
The risk-free interest rate was based upon yields of U.S. zero coupon issues and U.S. Treasury issues, with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. Forfeitures were estimated at 3% for 2008 and 2007.

fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations) of its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans (collectively, the “postretirement benefit plans”) in the December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of FAS 87 and FAS 106, all of which were previously netted against the postretirement benefit plans’ funded status in the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the provisions of FAS 87 and FAS 106. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic benefit cost in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy for amortizing these amounts. In addition, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic benefit cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of FAS 158.
The estimated net (gain), prior service cost and net transition (asset) for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the year ending December 31, 2009 are $(925), $129 and $(40), respectively.
The estimated net loss for the postretirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the year ending December 31, 2009 is $386.

In determining its expected return on plan assets assumption for the year ended December 31, 2008,2009, the Company considered historical experience, its asset allocation, expected future long-term rates of return for each major asset class, and an assumed long-term inflation rate. Based on these factors, the Company derived an expected return on plan assets for the year ended December 31, 20082009 of 8.25%. This assumption was supported by the asset return generation model, which projected future asset returns using simulation and asset class correlation.

The Company has two postretirement benefit plans. Under both of these plans, health care benefits are provided on both a contributory and noncontributory basis. The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported.

The total contribution charged to pension expense for the Company’s defined contribution plans was $301 in 2009, $2,081 in 2008 and $2,068 in 2007 and $1,831 in 2006.2007. During March 2009, the Company suspended indefinitely its voluntary contribution to its 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. The Company expects to have no contributions to its defined benefit plans in 2009.2010.
 
In January 2008, a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The SERP provides an annual supplemental retirement benefit for up to $375 upon the CEO’s termination of employment with the Company. The vested retirement benefit will be equal to a percentage of the Supplemental Pension that is equal to the ratio of the sum of his credited service with the Company prior to January 1, 2008 (up to a maximum of thirteen years), and his credited service on or after January 1, 2008 (up to a maximum of seven years) to twenty years of credited service. In the event of a change in control before the CEO’s termination of employment, he will receive 100% of the Supplemental Pension. The Company recorded an expense of $389 related with the SERP in 2009 and 2008. Additionally, a non-qualified defined contribution retirement benefit was also approved in which the companyCompany will credit $94 quarterly ($375 annually) for a seven year period to an account in which the CEO will always be 100% vested. The seven year period began on March 31, 2008.
 
NOTE L —Leases and Sale-leaseback Transactions
 
Future minimum lease commitments during each of the five years following December 31, 20082009 and thereafter are as follows: $13,581 in 2009, $9,967$12,477 in 2010, $7,797$9,216 in 2011, $5,357$5,739 in 2012, $3,381$3,600 in 2013, $2,185 in 2014 and $8,428$3,598 thereafter. Rental expense for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $12,812, $14,400 and 2006 was $14,400, $14,687, and $15,370, respectively.
In 2006, the Company entered into two sale-leaseback arrangements. Under the arrangements, land, building and equipment with a net book value of approximately $7,988 were sold for $9,420 and leased back under two operating lease agreements ranging from five to twelve years. The gain on these transactions of approximately $1,400 was deferred and is being amortized over the terms of the lease agreements.
 
Certain of the Company’s leases are with related parties at an annual rental expense of approximately $2,000. Transactions with related parties are in the ordinary course of business, are conducted on an arms length basis, and are not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Diluted $(10.88) $1.82  $2.11  $(.47) $(10.88) $1.82 
              
 
Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 128,ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share,”Share” when a loss is reported the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of stock options and awards because doing so will result in anti-dilution. Therefore, for the yearyears ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, basic weighted-average shares outstanding are used in calculating diluted earnings per share.
 
Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater that the average price of the common shares are anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Stock options for 32,000 and 104,000 shares of common stock were excluded in the yearsyear ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.2007.
