The change in the effective tax rate from 38.4% for the quarter ended March 28, 2009 to 31.4% for the quarter ended April 3, 2010, principally relates to a change in the earnings mix among tax jurisdictions. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company negotiated an agreement with a foreign taxing authority. The agreement allowsauthority allowing the Company to fully deduct certain interest charges. These interest charges that had previously beenwere classified as non-deductible in 2009. The benefit from this deduction resultedthe first quarter 2009 tax rate and fully deductible in the Company recording a benefit for income taxesfirst quarter 2010 tax rate. Additionally, in the yearfirst quarter of 2010, the Company reversed an unrecognized tax benefit due to the expiration of the statue of limitations. The 2010 tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to the impact of non-U.S. tax rates and quarterpermanent differences.

Tender Offer
The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to repurchase or redeem the 9% Senior Secured Notes (the “Old Senior Secured Notes”). On November 10, 2009, Altra Industrial commenced a cash tender offer to repurchase any and all of its outstanding Old Senior Secured Notes as of the date thereof at a price equal to $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, plus an early tender premium of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, payable on notes tendered before the early tender deadline. Holders who tendered their Old Senior Secured Notes also agreed to waive any rights to written notice of redemption. With respect to any Old Senior Secured Notes that were not tendered, Altra Holdings redeemed all Old Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding after the expiration of the tender offer by issuing a notice of redemption on the early tender deadline. On the early tender deadline, Altra Holdings satisfied and discharged all of its obligations under the indenture governing the Old Senior Secured Notes by depositing funds with the depositary in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge any remaining indebtedness on the Old Senior Secured Notes upon the consummation of the tender offer.
Refinancing Transaction
Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes the Company entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $50.0 million (subject to adjustment pursuant to a borrowing base and subject to increase from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit facility). The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced Altra Industrial’s then existing senior secured credit facility (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”), and the TB Wood’s existing credit facility (the “Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement”).
Altra Industrial and all of its domestic subsidiaries are borrowers, or “Borrowers”, under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Certain of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that are not Borrowers do and will guarantee (on a senior secured basis) the Revolving Credit Agreement. Obligations of the other Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of Borrowers’ assets and the assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement (with such subsidiaries being referred to as the “U.S. subsidiary guarantors”), including but not limited to: (a) a first-priority pledge of all the capital stock of subsidiaries held by Borrowers or any U.S. subsidiary guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 100% of any non-voting stock and 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary) and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each Borrower and U.S. subsidiary guarantor, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, certain real property, and cash and proceeds of the foregoing (in each case subject to materiality thresholds and other exceptions).
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would occur in connection with a change of control, among other things, if: (i) Altra Industrial ceases to own or control 100% of each of its Borrower subsidiaries, or (ii) a change of control occurs under the Senior Secured Notes, or any other subordinated indebtedness.
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would also occur if an event of default occurs under the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes or if there is a default under any other indebtedness that any Borrower may have involving an aggregate amount of $10 million or more and such default: (i) occurs at final maturity of such debt, (ii) allows the lender there under to accelerate such debt or (iii) causes such debt to be required to be repaid prior to its stated maturity. An event of default would also occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement if any of the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement with limited exception to be secured by a full lien on the assets of Borrowers and guarantors.

Substantially all of Altra Industrial’s assets have been pledged as collateral against outstanding borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement. The Senior Revolving Credit Agreement requires Altra Industrial to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 for all four quarter periods when availability under the line falls below $12.5 million. Altra Industrial’s availability under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement has not dropped below $12.5 million during 2009. The Revolving Credit imposes customary affirmative covenants and restrictions on Altra Industrial.
There were no borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement at September 26, 2009 or December 31, 2008. However, the lender had issued $3.2 million and $7.6 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement.

13.  12. Concentrations of Credit, Segment Data and WorkforceConcentrations of Credit, Segment Data and Workforce
Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to counter party performance and concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company manages these risks by conducting credit evaluations of customers prior to delivery or commencement of services. When the Company enters into a sales contract, collateral is normally not required from the customer. Payments are typically due within thirty days of billing. An allowance for potential credit losses is maintained, and losses have historically been within management’s expectations. No customer represented greater than 10% of total sales for the quarters ended September 26, 2009April 3, 2010 and September 27, 2008.
March 28, 2009.
The Company is also subject to counter party performance risk of loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, such as cash and investments. Cash and investments are held by international or well established financial institutions.

The Company has five operating segments that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. Each of these operating segments represents a unit that produces mechanical power transmission products. The Company aggregates all of the operating segments into one reportable segment. The five operating segments have similar long-term average gross profit margins. All of our products are sold by one global sales force and we have one global marketing function. Strategic markets and industries are determined for the entire company and then targeted by the brands. All of our operating segments have common manufacturing and production processes. Each segment includes a machine shop which uses similar equipment and manufacturing techniques. Each of our segments uses common raw materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper. The materials are purchased and procurement contracts are negotiated by one global purchasing function.
We serve the general industrial market by selling to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and distributors. Our OEM and distributor customers serve the general industrial market. Resource allocation decisions such as capital expenditure requirements and headcount requirements are made at a consolidated level and allocated to the individual operating segments.

General Litigation
The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. As of September 26, 2009April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2008,2009, there were no suchproduct liability claims for which management believed a loss was probable. As a result, no amounts were accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for product liability losses related to such claims at those dates.
The Company is indemnified under the terms of certain acquisition agreements for certain pre-existing matters up to agreed upon limits.
15.  Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Transition Expenses
During 2007, the Company adopted two restructuring programs. The first was intended to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount, consolidating operating facilities and relocating manufacturing to lower cost areas (the “Altra Plan”). The second was related to the acquisition of TB Wood’s and was intended to reduce duplicate staffing and consolidate facilities (the “TB Wood’s Plan”). The TB Wood’s Plan was initially formulated at the time of the TB Wood’s acquisition and therefore the associated accrual was recorded as part of purchase accounting.

On April 7, 2009, the Company announced that it would be closing its facility in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and relocating the manufacturing to certain of theThe Company’s other facilities. In connection with this decision, the Company completed an impairment analysis. The facility which had a carrying value of $1.4 million was written down to the fair value of $0.7 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.7 million. The Company estimated the fair value using observable inputs (level 2) by reviewing sale prices of comparable buildings in the Mt. Pleasant, Michigan area. The relocation is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
On July 7, 2009, the Company announced that it would be closing its manufacturing facility in South Beloit, Illinois and relocating the manufacturing operations to certain of the Company’s other facilities. In connection with this decision, the Company completed an impairment analysis. The facility which had a carrying value of $2.1 million was written down to the fair value of $1.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.6 million. The Company estimated the fair value using observable inputs (level 2). The Company reviewed sale prices of comparable buildings in the South Beloit, Illinois area. The relocation is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2010. In September 2009, the Company negotiated a plant closing agreement with the local union at the South Beloit facility. The Company has agreed to pay approximately $0.7 million in severance and performance bonuses to those employees who remain employed through their termination date. The Company expects to pay these amounts in the fourth quarter of 2009 through the first quarter of 2010.

General
Altra Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. (“Altra Industrial”) and owns 100% of Altra Industrial’s outstanding capital stock. Altra Industrial, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the capital stock of its 48 subsidiaries. The following chart illustrates a summary of our corporate structure:
(FLOW CHART)

23


Although we were incorporated in Delaware in 2004, much of our current business has its roots with the prior acquisition by Colfax Corporation, or Colfax, of a series of power transmission businesses. In December 1996, Colfax acquired the MPT group of Zurn Technologies, Inc. Colfax subsequently acquired Industrial Clutch Corp. in May 1997, Nuttall Gear Corp. in July 1997 and the Boston Gear and Delroyd Worm Gear brands in August 1997 as part of Colfax’s acquisition of Imo Industries, Inc. In February 2000, Colfax acquired Warner Electric, Inc., which sold products under the Warner Electric, Formsprag Clutch, Stieber, and Wichita Clutch brands. Colfax formed Power Transmission Holding LLC, or PTH,“PTH”, in June 2004 to serve as a holding company for all of these power transmission businesses. Boston Gear was established in 1877, Warner Electric, Inc. in 1927, and Wichita Clutch in 1949.
On November 30, 2004, we acquired our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax. We refer to this transaction as the PTH Acquisition.
On October 22, 2004, The Kilian Company, or Kilian, a company formed at the direction of Genstar Capital, the then largest stockholder of Altra Holdings, acquired Kilian Manufacturing Corporation from Timken U.S. Corporation. At the completion of the PTH Acquisition, (i) all of the outstanding shares of Kilian capital stock were exchanged for shares of our capital stock and (ii) Kilian and its subsidiaries were transferred to our wholly owned subsidiary.
Altra Industrial.
On February 10, 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding share capital of Hay Hall Holdings Limited, or Hay Hall. Hay Hall iswas a UK-based holding company established in 1996 that iswas focused primarily on the manufacture of couplings and clutch brakes. Hay Hall consistsconsisted of five main businesses that arewere niche focused and havehad strong brand names and established reputations within their primary markets.
Through Hay Hall, we acquired 15 strong brands in complementary product lines, improved customer leverage, and expanded geographic presence in over 11 countries. Hay Hall’s product offerings diversified our revenue base and strengthened our key product areas, such as electric clutches, brakes, and couplings. Matrix International, Inertia Dynamics and Twiflex, three Hay Hall businesses, combined with Warner Electric, Wichita Clutch, Formsprag Clutch and Stieber, make the consolidated company one of the largest individual manufacturers of industrial clutches and brakes in the world.
On May 18, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Bear Linear Inc., or Warner Linear. BearWarner Linear manufactures high value-added linear actuators which are electromechanical power transmission devices designed to move and position loads linearly for mobile off-highway and industrial applications. BearWarner Linear’s product design


28


and engineering expertise, coupled with our sourcing alliance with a low cost country manufacturer, were critical components in our strategic expansion withininto the motion control market.
On April 5, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of TB Wood’s Corporation, or TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s is an established designer, manufacturer and marketer of mechanical and electronic industrial power transmission products with a history dating back to 1857.
On October 5, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc., or All Power.
On December 31, 2007, we sold the TB Wood’s adjustable speed drives business or Electronics Division, to Vacon, Inc.Division. We sold the Electronics Division in order to continue our strategic focus on our core electro-mechanical power transmission business.
The subsidiariesWe are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of Altra Industrial design, produce and market a wide range of mechanical power transmission (“MPT”)MPT and motion control products. The business conducted at our subsidiaries is organized into five operating segments; Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes, Heavy Duty Clutches & Brakes, Overrunning Clutches & Engineered Bearing Assemblies, Engineered Couplings and Gearing & Belted Drives. We haveproducts with a presence in over 70 countries. Our global sales and marketing network includes over 1,000 direct original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”)OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components and other related products. Our products serve a wide variety of end markets including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation and turf and garden. We are headquarteredprimarily sell our products to a wide range of OEMs and through long-standing relationships with industrial distributors such as Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, Kaman Industrial Technologies and W.W. Grainger.

While the power transmission industry has undergone some consolidation, we estimate that in Braintree, Massachusetts.
2009 the top five broad-based MPT companies represented approximately 21% of the U.S. power transmission market. The remainder of the power transmission industry remains fragmented with many small and family-owned companies that cater to a specific market niche often due to their narrow product offerings. We believe that consolidation in our industry will continue because of the increasing demand for global distribution channels, broader product mixes and better brand recognition to compete in this industry.

Business Outlook
Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. During NovemberFor 2010, we expect to return to growth activities, but will also continue to focus on generating cash flow, executing on plant consolidations, and December 2008,maintaining a reduced cost base. Among other items, we saw a significant changeexpect our growth initiatives in economic conditions both2010 will include investing in North Americaorganic growth, seeking strategic acquisitions, targeting key underpenetrated geographic regions, entering new high-growth markets, enhancing our efficiency and internationally as mostproductivity through the focusing on the development of our end markets experienced dramatic downturns. people and processes.
During the fourthfirst quarter of 2008, we began to see several of our distributors

Beginning in the third quarter of 2009,2010, it appearedappears that inventory reduction efforts previously executed by our customers began to come to an endhave declined significantly as sales to our largest distribution customers improved duringhave improved.

However, we continuemajority of the increase was due to expect weaknessimprovement in order rates for the remainder of 2009 as compared with 2008.end market demand.

25


In response to the continued challenging economic conditions of 2009, we have taken and continue to take swift and aggressive actions to reduce our expenses and maximize near-term profitability. Our cost-reduction initiatives are centered on three areas: workforce cutbacks, plant consolidations and procurement and other cost reductions. In February 2009, the Company’s discretionary 401(k) match was suspended and a temporary reduction in executive compensation was initiated. On June 1, 2009, the Company announced the temporary suspension of all Company contributions to the 401(k) plan. We also have announced a general hiring freeze, a freeze of all non-union employee salaries and reduced work schedules. During the year to date period ended September 26, 2009, we incurred $5.4 million of restructuring expense including a $2.0 million non-cash charge primarily related to impairment charges at the Mount Pleasant and South Beloit facilities that are expected to close in 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010, respectively. The remaining expense relates mainly to severance. We expect to incur between an additional $2.5 and $3.5 million of expenses associated with workforce reduction and consolidation of facilities in 2009 and between $1.3 million and $1.9 million of such additional expenses in 2010. Beginning in 2010, we expect to see annualized savings from the headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities of approximately $30 million. We expect savings in 2009 to be $17.9 million. Including procurement and other cost reduction efforts, annualized savings would be approximately $77 million (approximately $60 million in 2009). We estimate that once volume returns to prior year levels, between $10 and $12 million of these savings will be permanent in nature.
We will continue our strong focus on working capital management and cash flow generation with the intent of improving our liquidity by reducing inventory and accounts receivable levels. As of September 26, 2009, we have a cash balance of $71.9 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. Management believes there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2008, except as listed below.2009. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Goodwill, Intangibles and other long-lived assets.  In connection with our acquisitions, goodwill and intangible assets were identified and recorded at their fair value. We recorded intangible assets for customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, product technology, patents and goodwill. In valuing the customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, we utilized variations of the income approach. The income approach was considered the most appropriate valuation technique because the inherent value of these assets is their ability to generate current and future income. The income approach relies on historical financial and qualitative information, as well as assumptions and estimates for projected financial information. Projected financial information is subject to risk if our estimates are incorrect. The most significant estimate relates to our projected revenues and profitability. If we do not meet the projected revenues and profitability used in the valuation calculations then the intangible assets could be impaired. In determining the value of customer relationships, we reviewed historical customer attrition rates which were determined to be approximately 4% per year. Most of our customers tend to be long-term customers with very little turnover. While we do not typically have long-term contracts with customers, we have established long-term relationships with customers which make it difficult for competitors to displace us. Additionally, we assessed historical revenue growth within our industry and customers’ industries in determining the value of customer relationships. The value of our customer relationships intangible asset could become impaired if future results differ significantly from any of the underlying assumptions. This could include a higher customer attrition rate or a change in industry


30


trends such as the use of long-term contracts which we may not be able to obtain successfully. Customer relationships and product technology and patents are considered finite-lived assets, with estimated lives ranging from 8 years to 16 years. The estimated lives were determined by calculating the number of years necessary to obtain 95% of the value of the discounted cash flows of the respective intangible asset. Goodwill and trade names and trademarks are considered indefinite lived assets. Trade names and trademarks were determined to be indefinite lived assets. Other intangible assets include trade names and trademarks that identify us and differentiate us from competitors, and therefore competition does not limit the useful life of these assets. Additionally, we believe that our trade names and trademarks will continue to generate product sales for an indefinite period.
As of December 31, 2008, goodwill was allocated to each of our twenty identified reporting units. We conducted an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2008 at each of these reporting units.
The breakdown of reporting units by acquisition and acquisition date are as follows:
Colfax acquisition — November 30, 200412 reporting units
Hay Hall acquisition — February 10, 20065 reporting units (including Huco)
Warner Linear acquisition — May 18, 20061 reporting unit
TB Wood’s acquisition — April 5, 20071 reporting unit
All Power Transmission — October 5, 20071 reporting unit
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, almost all of our reporting units were impacted by the general economic decline. The decline in our weekly order rates was significant and almost immediate. Between the week of November 7, 2008 and November 14, 2008 order rates declined 21%. Prior to that week, order rates had been flat or increasing for over a year. On a consolidated basis weekly order rates from the week of November 14, 2008 through the final full week of the year, (the week of December 19, 2008) decreased an additional 33%.
As part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using an income approach. We forecasted future cash flows by reporting unit for each of the next five years and applied a long term growth rate to the final year of forecasted cash flows. The cash flows were then discounted using our estimated discount rate. The forecasts of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate were the key assumptions in our intangible fair value analysis. The following are the assumptions used in 2008 and 2007 in the calculation of estimated fair value for the reporting units that recorded a goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2008 (Huco, Warner Linear and TB Woods) and the reporting units that are at risk of recording a goodwill impairment in the future (TB Woods, Ameridrives, Matrix, All Power and Boston Gear). No goodwill remains at Huco or Warner Linear subsequent to the goodwill impairment in 2008.:

A continuation of the significant decrease in order rates in the final weeks of 2008 and into 2009 was a key assumption when developing our long-term revenue and profitability plan for our goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2008. All of our reporting units assumed significantly lower sales and lower profitability for 2009 in their long-term growth plan when compared to the forecast used in the goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2007. The discount rate was not changed significantly from the December 31, 2007 goodwill impairment analysis.
As a result of the goodwill impairment analysis, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31.8 million at the TB Woods, Huco and Warner Linear reporting units as of December 31, 2008. The goodwill remaining at these reporting units, after the adjustment for goodwill impairments, was $23.5 million at TB Woods and there was no goodwill remaining at either Warner Linear or Huco. Due to prevailing market conditions at the time of the acquisitions of these three reporting units, the purchase price paid as consideration for these three acquisitions required a higher premium when compared to the prior 2004 Colfax acquisition and therefore created higher goodwill at these reporting units.
Prior to filing our Annual Report onForm 10-K on March 6, 2009, we reviewed the assumptions used in our goodwill impairment analysis and noted that they had not changed significantly from when we completed our goodwill impairment assessment.
We considered whether the sum of the fair value of all of our reporting units was reasonable when compared to our market capitalization on the date of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of December 31, 2008, our estimated enterprise fair value was $274.2 million. Our market capitalization was $208.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the enterprise and our market capitalization represented a control market premium of between 25% and 35%. We determined that a control market premium of between 25% and 35% was appropriate based on historical experience with purchase and sales transactions, the historical market trends based on our industry and the control market premium paid in relation to these transactions.
Management believes the preparation of revenue and profitability growth rates for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate requires significant use of judgment. If any of our reporting units do not meet our current year forecasted revenueand/or profitability estimates, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In addition, if our discount rate increases, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The following table shows the number of reporting units that could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis if forecasted profitability decreases or the estimated discount rate increases and the goodwill recorded at each of these reporting units. In management’s


32


opinion, these are the reasonably likely scenarios to occur and would have a material effect on the outcome of the fair value assessment and could result in a material goodwill impairment.

Long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recovered. Long-lived assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, and is charged to results of operations at that time.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, a goodwill impairment was identified and recorded at three reporting units which, in turn, triggered an impairment analysis with respect to long-lived assets at those reporting units.
For our definite lived intangible assets, mainly customer relationships, we estimated the future cash flows using the excess earnings method, a derivation of the discounted cash flow method. We estimated total revenue attributable to existing customer relationships and projected customer revenue growth for the remainder of the


33


projection period. Existing customer revenue was then multiplied by an attrition curve based on our historical attrition rates percent (approximately 4%) for each reporting unit. We estimated profitability for the customer relationship based on the overall reporting unit’s profitability. We compared the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the customer relationship for each reporting unit and did not identify any impairment.
For our indefinite lived intangible assets, mainly trademarks, we estimated the fair value first by estimating the total revenue attributable to the trademarks for each of the reporting units. Second we estimated an appropriate royalty rate using the return on assets method by estimating the required financial return on our assets, excluding trademarks, less the overall return generated by our total asset base. The return as a percentage of revenue provides an indication of our royalty rate (approximately 1.5%). We compared the estimated fair value of our trademarks with the carrying value of the trademarks and did not identify any impairment.
During 2009, we have not identified any events that required us to perform an interim impairment analysis.

Both of these operating segments sell into late cycle markets and have been impacted by volume decreases. We have seen some modest increases in our order rates at our other operating segments but until worldwide economic conditions improve, we expect continued weakness in our orders.early cycle markets as our distribution customers have ended their inventory de-stocking and OEM customers have increased production.

The second was related to the acquisition of TB Wood’s and was intended to reduce duplicative staffing and consolidate facilities (the “TB Wood’s Plan”). We recorded approximately


35


$0.1 million of restructuring expenses in the third quarter of 2008 for moving and relocation, severance and non-cash asset impairment. There were no costs related to the Altra Plan or the TB Wood’s Plan incurred in 2009.

We expect the 2009 Altra Plan to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount and consolidating certain facilities. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2009,2010, we recorded $1.0 million of restructuring expenses, of which $0.5$0.7 million was related to severance, $0.1$0.3 million was related to other restructuring charges, (primarily moving and relocation costs) and $0.4 million was non-cash impairment charges.. We expect to incur between an additional $2.5$1.3 million and $3.5$1.5 million of expenses associated with workforce reductionreductions and consolidation of facilities in 2009 and between $1.3 million and $1.9 million of such additional expenses in 2010. Beginning in 2010, we expect to see annualized savings from the headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities of approximately $30 million. We expect savings in 2009 to be $17.9 million.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company negotiated an agreement with a foreign taxing authority. The agreement allows the Company to fully deduct certain interest charges that had previously been classified as non-deductible in 2009. The benefit from this deduction resulted in the Company recording a benefit for income taxes in the year to date period ended September 26, 2009.
Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2007, the Company completed the divestiture of the TB Wood’s adjustable speed drives business (“Electronics Division”) to Vacon PLC (“Vacon”) for $29.0 million. The decision to sell the Electronics Division was made to allow the Company to continue its strategic focus on its core electro-mechanical power transmission business.
The $0.2 million loss from discontinued operations in the year to date period ended September 27, 2008 was comprised of a working capital adjustment, net of taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our Senior senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Agreement.Agreement”). We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, expenditures in connection with restructuring activities and pension plan funding. In the event additional funds are needed, we could borrow additional funds under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement, attempt to refinance our 9% Senior Secured Notes, or attempt to raise capital in the equity and debt or equity markets. Presently, we have capacity under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreementsenior secured revolving credit facility to borrow $26.8up to $50.0 million. Of this total capacity, we can borrow up to approximately $14.3$27.1 million without being required to comply with any financial covenants under the agreement. In order to refinance the existing 9% Senior Secured Notes, we would incur a pre-payment premium of 4.5% of the principal balance through December 1, 2009, 2.3% through December 1, 2010 and 0% after that date. There can be no assurance however that additional debt financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Senior Secured Notes
In November 2009, the Company issued $210 million of 81/8% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a net incomesecond priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing our senior secured revolving credit facility, on substantially all of $0.3our assets and those of our domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable in arrears, semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2010. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants which restrict the Company and our subsidiaries. These restrictions limit or prohibit, among other things, their ability to incur additional indebtedness; repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturities; pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; sell stock in our subsidiaries; and create liens on their assets. We were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes at April 3, 2010.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes, Altra Industrial entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $50.0 million (subject to adjustment pursuant to a borrowing base and subject to increase from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit facility). The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced Altra Industrial’s then existing senior secured credit facility and the TB Wood’s existing credit facility.
Altra Industrial and all of its domestic subsidiaries are borrowers, or “Borrowers”, under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Certain of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that are not Borrowers do and will guarantee (on a senior secured basis) the Revolving Credit Agreement. Obligations of the other Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of Borrowers’ assets and the assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement (with such subsidiaries being referred to as the “U.S. subsidiary guarantors”), including but not limited to: (a) a first-priority pledge of all the capital stock of subsidiaries held by Borrowers or any U.S. subsidiary guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 100% of any non-voting stock and 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary) and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each Borrower and U.S. subsidiary guarantor, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, certain real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing (in each case subject to materiality thresholds and other exceptions).
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would occur in connection with a change of control, among other things, if: (i) Altra Industrial ceases to own or control 100% of each of its Borrower subsidiaries, or (ii) a change of control occurs under the Senior Secured Notes, or any other subordinated indebtedness.
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would also occur if an event of default occurs under the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes or if there is a default under any other indebtedness that any Borrower may have involving an aggregate amount of $10 million or more and such default: (i) occurs at final maturity of such debt, (ii) allows the lender there under to accelerate such debt or (iii) causes such debt to be required to be repaid prior to its stated maturity. An event of default would also occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement if any of the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement ceases with limited exception to be secured by a full lien of the assets of Borrowers and guarantors.
As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance in all material respects with all covenant requirements associated with all of our borrowings. As of April 3, 2010, we had no borrowings and $10.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the first nine months of 2009, during that period we saw an increase in our cash balance of $19.9 million versus an increase in our cash balance of $4.0 million in the same period in 2008. Our continued focus on managing working capital allowed us to continue to generate cash flows from operations. We expect to continue to be able to generate cash flows from operations for the remainder of 2009 primarily from working capital management.

This was offset by the proceeds from additional borrowings under an existing mortgage of $1.5 million.

As of September 26, 2009, we had approximately $233.9 million of total indebtedness outstanding including capital leases and mortgages. Approximately 98% of our borrowings are fixed rate loans and therefore we do not believe that our vulnerability to interest rate changes is significant.
Our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of up to $30.0 million, including $10.0 million available for letters of credit through November 30, 2010. The Senior Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 for all four quarter periods when availability falls below $12.5 million. Our availability under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreement has never dropped below $12.5 million and we do not believe that it will in the foreseeable future. Our 9% Senior Secured Notes do not contain any financial covenants. As of September 26, 2009, there were no outstanding borrowings, but there were $3.2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement.
We were in compliance with all financialintend to use our remaining existing cash and non-financial covenants under the Senior Revolving Credit Agreementcash equivalents and Senior Secured Notes as of September 26, 2009.

We made capital expenditures of approximately $5.1 million and $12.2 million in the year to date periods ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. These capital expenditures were used to support on-going manufacturing requirements. We expect to have additional capital expenditures of between $3.0 million and $4.0 million for the remainder of 2009.
We have cash funding requirements associated with our pension plan which are estimated to be zero for the remainder of 2009, $0.5 million for 2010, $1.5 million for 2011, $1.5 million for 2012 and $1.5 million for 2013.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest, to fund planned capital expenditures and to meet our pension plan funding obligations will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs and availableto fund potential future acquisitions, debt services, capital expenditures, and pension funding. We believe our future operating cash together with available borrowings under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreementflows will be adequatesufficient to meet our future liquidity requirements for at leastoperating and investing cash needs. Furthermore, the next two years. However, our ability to generateexisting cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatorybalances and other factors that are beyond our control.
There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that any revenue growth or operating improvements will be realized or that futurethe availability of additional borrowings will be available under our senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes asprovide additional potential sources of liquidity should they become due. Our ability to access capital in the long term will depend, among other things, on the condition of capital markets and on the availability of capital to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, at the time we are seeking funds. See the Risk Factors in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for further discussion of certain factors that may affect our liquidity. In addition, our ability to borrow funds under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement will depend on our ability to satisfy the financial and non-financial covenants contained in that agreement.

Contractual Obligations
From time to time, we may repurchase our Senior Secured Notes in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, subject to certain restrictions in our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement. As of September 26, 2009, the remaining principal balance on our Senior Secured Notes was $220.3 million. The balance is due December 1, 2011.
