SIFCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

1.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s U.S. operations and its Irish subsidiary. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in income currently. For the Company’s other non-U.S. subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s fiscal 20102011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified in order to conform to current period classifications.

B. Net Income Per Share

2.Inventories

The Company’s net income per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Net income per diluted share reflects the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options was 26,000 and 31,000 shares for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. However, during periods when operating losses may occur, outstanding stock options would not be included in the calculation of net loss per diluted share because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

C. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to reduce risk related to variable-rate debt, which is subject to changes in market rates of interest. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. At December 31, 2011, the Company held one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $9,500. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap agreement are included in interest expense. The Company’s interest rate swap agreement and its variable-rate term debt are based upon LIBOR. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company’s interest rate swap agreement qualified as a fully effective cash flow hedge against the Company’s variable-rate term note interest risk. The following table reports the effects of the mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2011:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 55%48% and 58%54% of the Company’s inventories at June 30,December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010,2011, respectively. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the inventories. If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been $7,896$8,132 and $7,495$7,974 higher than reported at June 30,December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

In December 2010,October 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) with its bank increasing the maximum borrowing amount from $30.0 million to $40.0 million, of which $10.0 million is a newfive (5) year term loan and $30.0 million is a five (5) year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank in the maximum amount of $30.0 million,loan, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $0.5 million starting December 1, 2011.

The term loan has a Libor-based variable interest rate that was 2.3% at December 31, 2011 and which becomes an effective fixed rate of 2.9% after giving effect to an interest rate swap agreement. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement (i)revolving loan bears interest at a rate equal to Libor plus 0.75% to 1.75%, with suchwhich percentage beingfluctuates based on the Company’s leverage ratio - measured as the ratio of outstanding indebtedness to EBITDA, (ii) is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% on the unused balance and (iii) isEBITDA. The loans are subject to certain customary financial covenants including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At June 30, 2011,There is also a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% to be incurred on the interest rate was a Libor based rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 0.75%, or 1.25%. In December 2010, the Company also cancelled its then existing $8.0 million revolving credit facility.unused balance. The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants as of June 30,December 31, 2011.

In connection with the acquisition of the QAF business, as discussed more fully in Note 11, the Company issued a non-interest bearing promissory note to the seller, which note is payable by the Company in November, 2013.

 

5.6.Government Grants

In the past, the Company received grants from certain government entities as an incentive to invest in facilities, research and employees. Remaining grants, principally capital in nature, are amortized into income over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The unamortized portion of deferred grant revenue recorded in other long-term liabilities at June 30,December 31, 2011 and September 30, 20102011 was $407$354 and $401,$375, respectively. The Company’s grants are denominated primarily in Euros. The Company adjusts its deferred grant revenue balance in response to currency exchange rate fluctuations for as long as such grants are treated as obligations.

 

6.7.Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s projected effective tax rate through the first ninethree months of fiscal 20112012 is 32%, compared to 35% for the same period in fiscal 2010,2011, and differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to (i) the impact of U.S. state and local income taxes, (ii) a domestic production activities deduction, (iii) application of tax credits and (iv) the recognition of U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.

As of June 30,December 31, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted under either the 1995 or 1998 Plans.

The Company has awarded performance and restricted shares under its shareholder approved 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2007 Plan is 600,000 less any shares previously awarded and subject to an adjustment for the forfeiture of any unissued shares. In addition, shares that may be awarded are subject to individual recipient award limitations. The shares awarded under the 2007 Plan may be made in multiple forms including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock, and performance related shares. Any such awards are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant.

9


The performance shares that have been awarded under the 2007 Plan generally provide for the issuance of the Company’s common shares upon the Company achieving certain defined financial performance objectives during a period up to three years following the making of such award. The ultimate number of common shares of the Company that may be earned pursuant to an award ranges from a minimum of no shares to a maximum of 150% of the initial target number of performance shares awarded, depending on the level of the Company’s achievement of its financial performance objectives.

With respect to such performance shares, compensation expense is being accrued at (i) approximately 80%100% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2011,2012, (ii) 100% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 20102011 and (iii) 0% to approximately 50%140% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2009.2010. During each future reporting period, such expense may be subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s subsequent estimate of the number of common shares that it expects to issue upon the completion of the performance period. The performance shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant, and such value was recorded as unearned compensation. The vesting of such shares is determined at the end of the performance period.

During fiscal 2011, the Company awarded restricted shares to certain of its directors. The restricted shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant, and such value was recorded as unearned compensation. The unearned compensation is being amortized ratably over the restricted stock vesting period of one (1) year.

If all outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and issued at the target number of shares, then at June 30,December 31, 2011 there are 439,350approximately 429,800 shares that remain available for award. If any of the outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and issued at greater than the target number of shares, up to a maximum of 150% of such target, then a fewer number of shares would be available for award.

Compensation expense related to all performance and restricted shares awarded under the 2007 Plan was $340$238 and $201$54 during the first ninethree months of fiscal 20112012 and 2010,2011, respectively. As of June 30,December 31, 2011, there was $937$1,610 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance and restricted shares awarded under the 2007 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next 2.32.8 years.

The increase in net sales of small turbine engineforged components for fixed wing aircraft during the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011,2012, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010, is primarily attributable to increased demand for spare components for turbine engines that power small aircraft. The decrease in net sales of airframe components for small aircraft, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010,2011, is principally due to a decrease in the sales volumesimpact of such components to customers. Such volume declines were caused by continuing overall weak global economic conditions that resulted in reduced build ratesthe acquisition of smaller commercial aircraftQAF during the currentfirst quarter of fiscal year.2012. The increase in net sales of engine components for power generation units and commercial products is due primarily to the impact of the recent acquisition of TWF.TWF during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net sales of aerospace components for rotorcraft decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 principally due to the reduced sales volumes to one customer that was in the process of adjusting its inventory levels of certain components.

The ACMForge Group’s airframe and turbine engine component productsaerospace components have both military and commercial applications. Net sales of such components that solely have military applications were $23.1$7.8 million in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011,2012, compared with $24.2$7.6 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in the sales volume of components associated with several military programs. Ongoing wartime demand, such as2011. Demand for additional military helicopters and related replacement components isare the primary driver of net sales demand of the components that haveare for military applications.

All orders are subject to modification or cancellation by the customer with limited charges. Delivery lead times for certain raw materials (e.g. aerospace grades of steel and titanium alloy) continuesteel) have continued to lengthen due to increased demand and the ACMForge Group believes that such lead time increase may ultimately result in a fundamental shift in the ordering pattern of its customers. The ACMForge Group believes that a likely consequenceresult of such a shift is that customers may be placingplace orders further in advance than they more recentlypreviously did, which may result in an increase, relative to comparable prior year periods, in the ACMForge Group’s backlog. Accordingly, such backlog increase, to the extent it may occur, is not necessarily indicative of actual sales expected for any succeeding period.

The increase in product net sales in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011,2012, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010,2011, is attributed to an increase in net sales volumes of existing products,selective plating equipment, as well as certain recently launched new products launched in fiscal 2011, to both new and existing customers.products. The increase in contract service net sales in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011,2012, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010,2011, is attributed to an increase in the volume of such sales to both new and existing customers due to an increased emphasis on contract service sales and improvements in the global economy, including thepower generation and oil and gas industry.industries. A portion of the ASC Group’s business is conducted in Europe and is denominated in local European currencies, which have recently strengthenedcurrencies.

The ASC Group’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.6$1.3 million, or 35.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $1.1 million, or 34.0% of net sales in the first nine months ofcomparable fiscal 2011 compared with $3.4 million, or 37.7% of net sales in the comparable fiscal 2010 period, due primarily to an increase in sales promotion efforts and the filling of an open sales position.

The ASC Group’s operating income in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20112012 was $0.9$0.4 million, compared with $0.1$0.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2010.2011. This improvement in operating income is principally due to (i) the favorable impact on margins from increased sales volumesvolumes; (ii) lower material cost as a percentage of net sales due principally to product mix and (ii)(iii) the achievement of certain efficiencies resulting in reduced labor costs that occurred in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011,2012, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. This was partially offset by higher material cost as a percentage of net sales due to product mix.2011.

The increase in net sales of airframe components for small aircraft, during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010, is principally due to an increase in the sales volumes of such components to customers. The increase in net sales of small turbine engine components during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010, is primarily attributable to increased demand for spare components for turbine engines that power small aircraft. The increase in net sales of engine components for power generation units and commercial products is due primarily to the impact of the recent acquisition of TWF.

The ACM Group’s airframe and turbine engine component products have both military and commercial applications. Net sales of such components that solely have military applications were $7.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $6.9 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the sales volume of components associated with several military programs. Ongoing wartime demand, such as for additional military helicopters and related replacement components, is the primary driver of net sales of the components that have military applications.

The ACM Group’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to $1.7 million, or 7.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.0 million, or 6.9% of net sales, in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to (i) $0.6 million amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of TWF, (ii) increased depreciation and consulting costs related to the recently implemented company-wide management information system and (iii) higher variable selling expenses as a result of sales mix.

The ACM Group’s operating income increased $1.5 million to $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.8 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The following is a comparison of operating income on both a LIFO and FIFO basis:

Operating income was favorably impacted in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 by the additional product sales volumes that resulted principally from the acquisition of TWF, which was partially offset by (i) higher raw material costs – the raw material component of manufacturing costs was approximately 44.1% of net sales, compared with 41.9% of net sales in the

15


comparable period in fiscal 2010 due primarily to product mix and (ii) the negative impact of the aforementioned $0.6 million amortization of intangible assets.

The following changes in the components of the ACM Group’s manufacturing expenditures in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, a portion of which was due to the acquisition of TWF, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010, also impacted operating income:

Manufacturing costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010, were negatively impacted by (i) an increase in manufacturing expenditures required to support the additional product sales volumes resulting from the acquisition of TWF and (ii) an increase in expenditures for tooling.

Turbine Component Services and Repair Group (“Repair Group”)

Net sales in the third quarterfirst quarters of both fiscal years 20112012 and 2010, which consists principally of component repair services (including precision component machining and industrial coating) for small aerospace turbine engines, remained relatively consistent at 2.0 million.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Repair Group’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million, or 14.3% of net sales, compared with $0.3 million, or 15.2% of net sales, in the comparable fiscal 2010 period.

The Repair Group’s operating income in the third quarter of both fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were essentially breakeven. The breakeven operating results in both periods were principally attributable to relatively low sales volume levels in relation to the fixed portion of the Repair Group’s operating cost structure.

Applied Surface Concepts Group (“ASC Group”)

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 17.3% to $3.7 million, compared with $3.2 million in the comparable fiscal 2010 period. For purposes of the following discussion, (i) product net sales consist of selective plating equipment and solutions and (ii) contract service net sales consist of customized selective plating services. Net sales comparative information for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, is as follows:2011:

The increase in product net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010, is principally attributable to increased net sales volumes of existing products resulting from the improvement in the global economy as well as sales of new products introduced in fiscal 2011. Contract service net sales also improved in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010, due to an increase in the volume of such sales to both new and existing customers. A portion of the ASC Group’s business is conducted in Europe and is denominated in local European currencies, which have recently strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a favorable currency impact on net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of approximately $0.2 million.

The ASC Group’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million, or 34.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.1 million, or 36.2% of net sales in the comparable fiscal 2010 period, due primarily to an increase in sales promotion efforts and the filling of an open sales position.

16


The ASC Group’s operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.3 million, compared with $0.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2010. This improvement in operating income is principally due to (i) the favorable impact on margins from increased sales volumes and (ii) the achievement of certain efficiencies resulting in reduced labor costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses

Corporate unallocated expenses, consisting of corporate salaries and benefits, legal and professional and other expenses that are not related to and, therefore, not allocated to the business segments, were $0.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $0.5 million in the same period in fiscal 2010 principally due to (i) $0.1 million higher legal and professional expenses and (ii) $0.1 million higher consulting expenses related to the Company’s management information system.

Other/General

Interest expense was nominal in the third quarter of both fiscal 2011 and 2010.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $12.2increased $0.4 million to $6.5$6.8 million at June 30,December 31, 2011 from $18.7$6.4 million at September 30, 2010. Short-term investments decreased $3.0 million to zero at June 30, 2011 from $3.0 million at September 30, 2010.2011. At June 30,December 31, 2011, essentially all of the $6.8 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were in the possession of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions from the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries to the Company may be subject to statutory restriction, adverse tax consequences or other limitations.

The Company’s operating activities provided $8.4$1.3 million of cash in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20112012 compared with $10.6$2.1 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2010.2011. The $8.4$1.3 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20112012 was primarily due to (i) net income of $5.3 million,$1.2 million; (ii) $3.6$2.0 million from the impact of such non-cash items as depreciation and amortization expense, deferred taxes, equity based compensation expense and LIFO expense; (iii) a $0.6$3.7 million increasedecrease in accounts payablereceivable and (iv) a $0.4$0.3 million reduction in refundable income taxes. These items were partially offset by (i) a $1.3$3.2 million increase in inventories and (ii) a $0.3$2.0 million increasedecrease in accounts receivable.payable and accrued liabilities. These changes in the components of working capital do not take into consideration the impact of the opening balance sheet related to the acquisition of TWFQAF and were due primarily to factors resulting from normal business conditions of the Company, including (i) to support growth in business, (ii) the relative timing of collections from customers and (ii)(iii) the relative timing of payments to suppliers and tax authorities.

Capital expenditures were $2.4$0.5 million in the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20112012 compared with $5.0$0.6 million in the comparable fiscal 20102011 period. Capital expenditures during the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20112012 consist of $2.0$0.4 million by the ACMForge Group and $0.2$0.1 million by each of the ASC Group and Repair Group. In addition to the $2.4$0.5 million expended during the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2011, $0.42012, $0.6 million has been committed as of June 30,December 31, 2011. The Company anticipates that total fiscal 20112012 capital expenditures will be within the range of $3.0 to $3.5$4.5 million and will relate principally to the expansion of the ACMForge Group’s production capabilities.

As described more fully in note 1011 to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, the Company acquired a forging business in December 2010October 2011 for approximately $22.7$24.8 million at closing. The acquisition was financed by using $11.0borrowing approximately $22.4 million from its bank, which borrowing consisted of the Company’s cash reservesa new $10.0 million term loan and borrowing $11.7drawing approximately $12.4 million from its revolving credit facility. The balance of the acquisition was financed by the Company issuing a $2.4 million promissory note to the seller.

In December 2010, SIFCOOctober 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) with its bank increasing the maximum borrowing amount from $30.0 million to $40.0 million, of which $10.0 million is a newfive (5) year term loan and $30.0 million is a five (5) year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank for a maximum amount of $30.0 million,loan, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $0.5 million starting December 1, 2011.

The term loan has a variable interest rate based on Libor, which becomes an effective fixed rate of 2.9% after giving effect to an interest rate swap agreement. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement (i)revolving loan bears interest at a rate equal to Libor plus 0.75% to 1.75%, with suchwhich percentage beingfluctuates based on the Company’s leverage ratio—measured as the ratio of outstanding indebtedness to EBITDA, (ii) is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% on the unused balance and (iii) isEBITDA. The

16


bank loans are subject to certain customary financial covenants including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At June 30, 2011,There is also a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% to be incurred on the interest rate was a Libor based rate, as definedunused balance. The promissory note issued to the seller is non-interest bearing and is due in the credit agreement, plus 0.75%, or 1.25%. In December 2010, the Company also cancelled its then existing $8.0 million revolving credit facility. TheNovember of 2013.The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants as of June 30,December 31, 2011.

17


The Company believes that cash flows from its operations together with existing cash reserves and the funds available under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements through the end of fiscal year 2011.2012.

C. Impact of Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In JuneDecember 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05,2011-12,Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, and as a result entities are required to improve the comparabilitycontinue to report reclassifications out of financial reporting and to facilitate the convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). The ASU amends the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220,Comprehensive Income,by eliminating the option to present components ofaccumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The new guidance (i) requires entities to present all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements and (ii) provides entitiesconsistent with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income eitherpresentation requirements in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.effect before ASU 2011-05. This update is effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated statements and disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29,Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,to amendFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,Business Combinations, regarding how public entities disclose supplemental pro forma information for business combinations that occur during the current year. Under the amended guidance, a public entity that presents comparative financial statements must disclose the revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period and it also requires public entities to provide a description of the nature and amount of any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to business combination(s) that are included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This update is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, which will impact all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include components of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of June 30,December 31, 2011 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Accordingly, management has concluded that the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

18


During the nine monthfirst quarter period ended June 30,December 31, 2011, the following occurred:

 

The Company completed the implementation and evaluation of a new enterprise software system, which implementation addressed the missing and/or ineffective controls that (i) existed under the prior system and (ii) gave rise to the material internal control weakness that existed at September 30, 2010.

On December 10, 2010,October 28, 2011, the Company acquired the forging business and related assets from T&W Forge,GEL Industries, Inc., which operated under its own setsset of systems and internal controls. The Company is maintaining those systems and much of the internal control environment until such time that it is able to incorporate the acquired processes into the Company’s own control environment. The Company expects to be substantially complete with the incorporation of the acquired operations, as they relate to systems and internal controls, into its systems and control environment during fiscal 2011.2012.

There were no other changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2011, which would be expected to have a material effect on financial reporting.
