PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012

(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE A — Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE B — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement on other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, deferring its requirements that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Entities continue to be required to present amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. The requirement to present reclassification adjustments in interim periods was also deferred. However, entities are required to report a total for comprehensive income in condensed financial statements of interim periods in a single continuous statement or in two consecutive statements. The FASB is reconsidering the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-5 in the first quarter of 2012 and elected to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.

NOTE F — Net Income Per Common Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
     2012      2011  

NUMERATOR

     

Net income

   $ 8,956       $ 8,729   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

DENOMINATOR

     

Denominator for basic earnings per share — weighted average shares

     11,787         11,460   

Effect of dilutive securities:

     

Employee stock options

     254         527   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Denominator for diluted earnings per share — weighted average shares and assumed conversions

     12,041         11,987   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Amounts per common share:

     

Basic

   $ .76       $ .76   

Diluted

   $ .74       $ .73   

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.

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average price of the common shares are anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Stock options on 40,000 and 20,000 shares were excluded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE G — Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense recorded in the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was $624 and $428, respectively. There were no stock option or restricted stock awards during the first three months of 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there was $3,141 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

NOTE K — Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective income tax rate and, if the estimated income tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

The effective income tax rate in the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was 33.2% and 16.1%, respectively. The 2012 annual effective income tax rate is estimated to be approximately 33% and is lower than the 35% United States federal statutory rate primarily due to anticipated income earned in jurisdictions outside of the United States where the effective income tax rate is lower than in the United States.

NOTE L — Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active 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.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The fair value of the 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 is estimated based on a third party’s bid price. The fair value approximated $257,500 at March 31, 2012 and $247,500 at December 31, 2011.

NOTE M — Financing Arrangements

The Company is a party to a credit and security agreement dated November 5, 2003, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit. On March 23, 2012, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the revolving loan commitment from $200,000 to $220,000, and provide a term loan for $25,000 that is secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (i) LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate minus .25% to 1.00%, 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 is at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus .25%, at the Company’s election. The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity.

NOTE N — Accounts Receivable

During the first three months of 2012 and 2011, the Company sold approximately $20,432 and $11,690, respectively, of accounts receivable to mitigate accounts receivable concentration risk and to provide additional financing capacity and recorded losses in the amount of $94 and $53, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These losses represented implicit interest on the transactions.

NOTE O — Acquisition

On March 23, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Fluid Routing Solutions Holding Corp. (“FRS”), a leading manufacturer of industrial hose products and fuel filler and hydraulic fluid assemblies, in an all cash transaction valued at $97,451. FRS products include fuel filler, hydraulic, and thermoplastic assemblies and several forms of manufactured hose, including bulk and formed fuel, power steering, transmission oil cooling, hydraulic and thermoplastic hose. FRS sells to automotive and industrial customers throughout North America, Europe and Asia. FRS has five production facilities located in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and the Czech Republic. FRS is included in the Company’s Aluminum Products segment pending further evaluation. The Company funded the acquisition with cash of $40,000 ($10,000 domestic and $30,000 foreign), a $25,000 seven-year amortizing term loan provided by the Credit Agreement and secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment of the Company and $32,500 of borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to FRS’ net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of March 23, 2012, the effective date of the acquisition. Based on management’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, the purchase price is allocated as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 2,809   

Accounts receivable

     30,920   

Inventories

     11,617   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

   $ 97,452   
  

 

 

 

The areas of purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the working capital adjustment as of March 23, 2012, and completion of appraisals for the inventories, property plant and equipment and intangible assets. There were $262 of direct transaction costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses during the first three months of 2012.

Note P — Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot precisely predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, the Company records provisions when it considers the liability probable and reasonably estimable. Our provisions are based on historical experience and legal advice, reviewed quarterly and adjusted according to developments. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple forecasted factors that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties, such as regulators, courts, and state and federal legislatures. Changes in the amounts of our loss provisions, which can be material, affect our financial condition. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the process undertaken to estimate potential losses, we are unable to estimate an additional range of loss in excess of our accruals. While it is reasonably possible that such excess liabilities, if they were to occur, could be material to operating results in any given quarter or year of their recognition, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that such excess liabilities would have a material adverse effect on our long-term results of operations, liquidity or consolidated financial position.

Our subsidiaries are involved in a number of contractual and warranty related disputes. At this time, we cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the timing and amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. We believe that appropriate liabilities for these contingencies have been recorded; however, actual results may differ materially from our estimates.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Executive Overview

We are an industrial Total Supply Management and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: Supply Technologies, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. Our Supply Technologies business provides our customers with Total Supply Management, 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 Management 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 and point-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, construction, heavy-duty truck and marine original equipment manufacturers (“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 ferrous and non-ferrous metals, silicon, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, 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 C to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

On April 7, 2011, the Company completed the sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes bear an interest rate of 8.125% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing on October 1, 2011. The Notes mature on April 1, 2021. The Company also purchased all of its outstanding 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 in aggregate principal amount of $183.8 million that were not held by its affiliates, repaid all of the term loan A and term loan B outstanding under its then existing credit facility and retired the 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of $26.2 million that were held by its affiliates.

On March 23, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Fluid Routing Solutions Holding Corp. (“FRS”), a leading manufacturer of industrial hose products and fuel filler and hydraulic fluid assemblies, in an all cash transaction valued at $97.5 million. FRS products include fuel filler, hydraulic, and thermoplastic assemblies and several forms of manufactured hose including bulk and formed fuel, power steering, transmission oil cooling, hydraulic and thermoplastic hose. FRS sells to automotive and industrial customers throughout North America, Europe and Asia. FRS has five production facilities located in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and the Czech Republic. FRS is included in the Company’s Aluminum Products segment pending further evaluation.

In connection with the acquisition of FRS, the Company amended and restated its existing credit and security agreement dated November 5, 2003, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), to, among other things, increase the revolving loan commitment from $200 million to $220 million and provide a seven-year amortizing term loan for $25 million that is secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment. The Company funded the acquisition with cash of $40 million ($10 million domestic and $30 million foreign), the $25 million term loan provided by the Credit Agreement and $32.5 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, contained in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements discussed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Net sales increased $21.5 million to $263.1 million in the first three months of 2012, compared to $241.6 million in the same period in 2011, as the Company experienced volume increases in its Supply Technologies and Manufactured Products segments offset by a decline in the Aluminum products segment. Supply Technologies sales increased 9% primarily due to volume increases in the heavy-duty truck, electrical, power sports, agricultural and construction equipment industries offset primarily by declines in the semi-conductor, HVAC and instruments industries. Aluminum Products sales decreased 7% primarily from reductions in volume, which was partially offset by incremental sales of $5.5 million resulting from the acquisition of FRS. Manufactured Products sales increased 16% primarily due to the increased business in the capital equipment, forged and machine and rubber products business units.

The increase in cost of products sold was due primarily to higher sales levels and higher commodity prices offset by higher production levels, which contributed to improved absorption of fixed costs in the Manufactured Products segment. Gross margin increased in the Supply Technologies and Manufactured Products business units resulting primarily from volume increases while gross margin decreased in the Aluminum Products business unit resulting from volume declines.

Interest expense increased $.8 million in the first three months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to a higher average borrowing rate during the first three months of 2012. Average borrowings in the first three months of 2012 were higher when compared to the same period in 2011 due to the Company’s sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes offset by the purchase of all of its outstanding 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014 and additional borrowings to fund the acquisition of FRS. The higher average borrowing rate in the first three months of 2012 was due primarily to the interest rate mix of our revolving credit facility and the Notes when compared to the mix in the same period in 2011.

Income Tax:

The provision for income taxes was $4.4 million in the first three months of 2012, a 33.2% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $1.7 million provided in the corresponding period of 2011, a 16.1% effective income tax rate. We estimate that the effective tax rate for full-year 2012 will be approximately 33%.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $116.6 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility, and approximately $80.9 million of unused borrowing availability.

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 debt securities. On April 7, 2011, the Company completed the sale of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes bear an interest rate of 8.125% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2011. The Notes mature on April 1, 2021.

The Company is a party to the Credit Agreement, with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit. On March 23, 2012, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the revolving loan commitment from $200 million to $220 million,

and provide a term loan for $25 million that is secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (i) LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate minus .25% to 1.00%, 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 is at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate plus .25%, at the Company’s election. The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity.

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 credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement 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 had cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries of $32.2 million at March 31, 2012 and $61.2 million at December 31, 2011. For each of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company makes a determination regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance, if any, available to be repatriated to the United States. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally used to finance the foreign subsidiaries’ operational activities and/or future foreign investments. At March 31, 2012, management believed that sufficient liquidity was available in the United States, and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. Although we have no intention to repatriate the approximately $80.8 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011, if we were to repatriate these earnings, there would potentially be an adverse tax impact.

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s debt service coverage ratio was 2.7, and, therefore, it was in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant contained in the revolving credit facility. The Company was also in compliance with the other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2012. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter and is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters of consolidated EBITDA minus cash taxes paid, minus unfunded capital expenditures, plus cash tax refunds to consolidated debt charges that are consolidated cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments on indebtedness plus scheduled reductions in our term debt as defined in the Credit Agreement. The debt service coverage ratio must be greater than 1.0 and not less than 1.1 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters. While we expect to remain in compliance throughout 2012, declines in sales volumes in 2012 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 declines in 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 the accounts receivable ineligible for purposes of the revolving credit facility and could reduce our borrowing base and our ability to borrow under such facility.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.09 at March 31, 2012, versus 2.65 at December 31, 2011. Working capital decreased by $26.8 million to $264.7 million at March 31, 2012, from $291.5 million at December 31, 2011. Accounts receivable increased $51.2 million to $191.1 million at March 31, 2012, from $139.9 million at December 31, 2011, primarily resulting from the acquisition of FRS and its $28.4 million of accounts receivable and sales volume increases. Inventory increased by $20.6 million at March 31, 2012, to $222.6 million from $202.0 million at December 31, 2011, primarily resulting from planned increases due to sales volume increases and $11.3 million of increases associated with the acquisition of FRS. Accrued expenses increased by $28.6 million to $102.3 million at March 31, 2012, from $73.7 million at December 31, 2011, primarily resulting from the terms of the payments of interest due on the Notes and accrued liabilities of FRS of $17.0 million. Accounts payable increased $35.2 million to $134.8 million at March 31, 2012, from $99.6 million at December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of acquiring the accounts payable of FRS of $17.3 million and the timing of payments at March 31, 2012.

During the first three months of 2012, the Company provided $17.1 million from operating activities compared to $13.0 million in the same period of 2011. The increase in the operating cash provision of $4.1

million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily the result of a decrease in operating assets and liabilities offset by an increase in net income. In the first three months of 2012, the Company used cash of $2.8 million for capital expenditures and $94.6 million for the acquisition of FRS. These activities, plus cash interest and tax payments of $2.0 million, an increase in borrowings of $48.2 million and purchase of treasury stock of $.7 million resulted in a decrease in cash of $33.4 million in the first three months of 2012.

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 currencies, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2012, none were outstanding. We currently have no other derivative instruments.

Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results

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.

Review By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2012, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility provided by our Credit Agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $116.6 million at March 31, 2012. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $1.2 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. 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.

The Company periodically enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the British pound sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At March 31, 2012, there were no such currency hedge contracts outstanding.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    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.

In addition to the routine lawsuits and asserted claims noted above, we were a party to the lawsuits and legal proceedings described below at March 31, 2012.

We were a co-defendant in approximately 225 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 760 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These 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 seven asbestos cases, involving 25 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the seven cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative 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 fourth 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. In the remaining two cases, the plaintiffs have each alleged against each named defendant compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $50.0 million, for four separate causes of action.

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 or 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.

One of our subsidiaries, Ajax Tocco Magnethermic (“ATM”), is a party to a binding arbitration proceeding pending in South Africa with its customer Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium (“Evraz”). The arbitration involves a dispute over the design and installation of a melting furnace. Evraz sought binding arbitration in September 2011 for breach of contract and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $37.0 million, as well as fees and expenses related to the arbitration. ATM intends to counterclaim arbitration, alleging breach of contract for non-payment in the amount of $2.7 million as well as fees and expenses related to the arbitration. We believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims and intend to vigorously defend such allegations.
