Item 1A. RISK FACTORSRisk Factors
There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our global operations that involve the design, manufacturing and sale of products for highly demanding customerCustomer applications throughout the world. TheThese risks and uncertainties associated with our business could adversely affect our operating performance orand financial condition. The following discussion, along with discussions elsewhere in this report, outlines the risks and uncertainties that we believe are the most material to our business. However, these are not the only risks or uncertainties that could affect our business. Therefore, the following is not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.
Unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.
We have operations in many countries. Each of our subsidiaries reports its results of operations and financial position in its relevant foreign currency, which is then translated into United States dollars. The translated financial information is included in our consolidated financial statements. The strengtheningIn light of the United States dollarcurrent global economic slowdown, we want to further highlight the risks and uncertainties associated with: world economic factors; the reduction in comparisonsales volume and orders due to decreased global demand and Customers aggressively working to reduce their levels of inventory; increased governmental laws and regulations, including the foreign currenciesunprecedented financial actions being undertaken by governments around the world; a significant tightening of our subsidiaries could have a negative impact on our results of operationscredit availability; and potential global health outbreaks. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or financial position.revise any forward-looking statements.
Operating internationally carries risks which could negatively effectaffect our financial performance.
We have sales and manufacturing operations throughout the world, with the heaviest concentrations in North America, Europe and Asia. Our stability, growth and profitability are subject to a number of risks of doing business internationally that could harm our business, including:
• | political and military events, | |
• | legal and regulatory requirements, | |
• | tariffs and trade barriers, | |
• | potential difficulties in staffing and managing local operations, | |
• | credit risk of local | |
• | difficulties in protecting intellectual property, | |
• | local economic, political and social conditions, specifically in China and Thailand where we have significant investments, | |
• | potential global health outbreaks. |
Maintaining a competitive advantage requires continuing investment with uncertain returns.
We operate in highly competitive markets and have numerous competitors who may already be well established in those markets. We experience price pressures from these competitors in certain product lines and geographic markets. We expect our competitors to continue improving the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products that arecould be competitive in both price and performance. We believe that we have certain technological advantages over our competitors, but maintaining

these advantages requires us to continually invest in research and development, sales and marketing and customerCustomer service and support. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in maintaining these advantages. We are currently makingmake investments in emissions technology development to meet the changingnew technologies that address increased performance and regulatory requirements worldwide.around the globe. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in completing development or achieving sales of these products or that the margins on such products will be acceptable. Our financial performance may be negatively impacted if a competitor’s successful product innovation reaches the market before ours or gains broader market acceptance before our product offerings.acceptance.
A numberSeveral of our major OEM customersCustomers also manufacture component products for their own use.filtration systems. Although these OEM customersCustomers rely on us and other suppliers for othersome of their component products,filtration systems, they couldsometimes choose to manufacture additional component productsfiltration systems for their own use. There is also a risk that one of our customers woulda Customer could acquire one or more of our competitors.
We may be adversely impacted by changes in technology that could reduce or eliminate the demand for our products. We are at risk with respect to:These risks include:
• | breakthroughs in technology which provide a viable alternative to diesel | |
• | reduced demand for disk drive products if |
AcquisitionsWe participate in highly competitive markets with pricing pressure. If we are not able to compete effectively our margins and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The businesses and product lines in which we participate are very competitive and we risk losing business based on a wide range of factors, including technology, price, delivery, product performance and Customer service. Large Customers continue to seek productivity gains and lower prices from their suppliers. We may not necessarilylose business or negatively impact our margins if we are unable to deliver the best value to our Customers.
Demand for our products relies on economic and industrial conditions worldwide.
Demand for our products tends to respond to varying levels of construction, agricultural, mining and industrial activity in the United States and in other industrialized nations.
Sales to Caterpillar accounted for slightly less than 10 percent of our net sales in Fiscal 2009 and 10 percent of our net sales in Fiscal 2008. An adverse change in Caterpillar’s financial performance or a material reduction in our sales to Caterpillar could negatively impact our operating results.
Changes in our product mix impacts our financial performance.
We sell products that have varying profit margins. Our financial performance can be impacted depending on the mix of products we sell during a given period.
Unavailable or higher cost materials could result in our Customers being dissatisfied.
We obtain raw material, including steel, filter media and plastics, and other components from third-party suppliers and tend to carry limited raw material inventories. An unanticipated delay in delivery by our suppliers could result in the inability to deliver on-time and meet the expectations of our Customers. This could negatively affect our financial performance. An increase in commodity prices during a recession or an otherwise challenging business and economic environment could result in lower operating margins.
Difficulties with the Company’s information technology systems could adversely affect the Company’s results.
The Company has many information technology systems that are important to the operation of its businesses. The Company could encounter difficulties in developing new systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could lead to significant expenses due to disruption in business operations and could adversely affect the Company’s results.
Unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively impact our results and financial position.
We have operations in many countries. Each of our subsidiaries reports its results of operations and financial position in its relevant foreign currency, which is then translated into U.S. dollars. This translated financial information is included in our consolidated financial statements. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar in comparison to the foreign currencies of our subsidiaries could have a positivenegative impact on our results and financial position.
Acquisitions may have an impact on our results.
We have made and continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary product lines, technologies and businesses.acquisitions. We cannot guarantee that these acquisitions will have a positive impact on our results. These acquisitions could negatively impact our profitability due to dilutive issuances of equity securities,operating and integration inefficiencies, the incurrence of debt, and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets. There are also a number of other risks involved in acquisitions. For example, weWe could lose key existing Customers, have difficulties in assimilating the acquired operations, assume unanticipated legal liabilities or lose key employees of the acquired company.employees.
Compliance with environmental laws and regulations can be costly.
We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We routinely incur product development capital and operating costs in order to comply with these laws and regulations. We may be adversely impacted by new or changing environmental laws and regulations that affect both our operations and our ability to develop and sell products that meet our customers’ product and performanceCustomers’ requirements.
Demand for our products relies on economic and industrial conditions worldwide.
Demand for certain of our products tends to be cyclical and responds to varying levels of construction, agricultural, mining and industrial activity in the United States and in other industrialized nations.
Sales to Caterpillar, Inc. and its subsidiaries have accounted for greater than 10 percent of our net sales in the past three fiscal years. An adverse change in Caterpillar’s financial performance or a material reduction in our sales to it could negatively impact our operating results.
Unavailable or higher cost materials could result in our customers being dissatisfied.
We obtain raw material and certain manufactured components from third-party suppliers and tend to carry limited raw material inventories. Even a brief unanticipated delay in delivery or increases in prices by our suppliers could result in the inability to satisfy our customers on delivery and pricing. This could negatively affect our financial performance.
Changes in our product mix impacts our financial performance.
We sell products in various product lines that have varying profit margins. Our financial performance can be impacted positively or negatively depending on the mix of products we sell during a given period as compared to a previous period.

Under normal economic conditions, the Company’s diversity between its original equipment and replacement parts customers,Customers, its diesel engine and industrial end markets, and its North American and international end markets has helped to limit the impact of these factorsweakness in any one product line, market or geography on the consolidated results of the Company. The continued strong demand in most ofHowever, the global recession had a dramatic negative impact on the Company’s end markets drove record earningsresults in fiscal 2006.Fiscal 2009 as nearly every product group and geographic area was impacted.
The Company reported record sales in 2006Fiscal 2009 of $1.694 billion, up 6.2$1,868.6 million, down 16.3 percent from $1.596 billion$2,233.5 million in the prior year.

The Company reported record diluted earnings per share of $1.55,$1.67, a 22.121.2 percent increasedecrease from $1.27$2.12 in the prior year.
During fiscal 2006,Included in the Company’s Engine Products segment increased slightlyresults are pre-tax restructuring charges of $17.8 million resulting primarily from workforce reductions of 2,800 since the prior year as a percentbeginning of total net sales at 58.5the year. Gross margin and operating expenses include $10.1 million and $7.7 million of restructuring expenses, respectively. The Company also realized $43.0 million in cost savings from restructuring actions completed throughout the year.
The effective tax rate for Fiscal 2009 was 18.3 percent compared to 57.927.2 percent in Fiscal 2008. This decrease is attributable to a number of discrete tax items, partially offset by increased expense from the prior year. Forrepatriation of foreign earnings. Absent these items, the underlying tax rate for the Fiscal 2009 has decreased
from Fiscal 2008 by 1.2 points to 30.4 percent. The reinstatement of the U.S. Research and Experimentation credit, changes in current year unrecognized tax benefits, reduced statutory tax rates and the mix of earnings between foreign jurisdictions all contributed to the reduction in the underlying rate.
The Company continued to improve an already strong liquidity position which allowed for continued investment in business and debt reduction while increasing cash reserves and maintaining its dividend. While Fiscal 2009 was significantly impacted by the global recession, there are signs that some of the Company’s Industrial Products segment, percent of total net sales decreased slightlyend markets have begun to 41.5 percent from 42.1 percent instabilize. While the prior year. The comparable sales percentages reflectCompany’s future visibility remains limited and it’s too early to call a recovery, the strength inCompany believes that the conditions in the markets that both segments serve and the continued strong demand in mostworst of the global economic downturn is behind it in many of its early and mid-cycle end markets, in each segment.including the heavy truck, construction, special applications and replacement parts markets. This view is factored into the Fiscal 2010 outlook discussed below.
Following is financial information for the Company’s Engine Products and Industrial Products segments. Corporate and Unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be non-allocable to the segments and interest income and expense, non-operating income and expense and expenses not allocated to the business segments in the same period. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adjusted its basis of measurement for earnings before income taxes such that certain expenses, such as amortization of intangibles, which were previously considered to be Corporate and Unallocated, are now included in the Engine and Industrial Products segment results. The impact of the change in the basis of measurement resulted in approximately $16.0 million of Corporate and Unallocated expenses being charged to

This change resulted in approximately $8.0 million of additional expense to each of the Engine and Industrial Products segments during fiscal 2006.

Outlook
While it appears that conditions may have stabilized at many of the Company’s Customers and in many of its end markets, the Company continues to have limited visibility into the future. Consequently, the Company remains cautious in the near-term about forecasting a return to growth.
• | The Company is planning its total Fiscal 2010 sales to be between $1.65 and $1.75 billion, or approximately the pace of the past two quarters. For the full year Fiscal 2010 versus Fiscal 2009, sales are projected to be down 6 to 12 percent. Foreign currency translation is expected to provide a small benefit based on the Company’s planned rates for the Euro of US$1.39 and 98 Yen to the US Dollar for Fiscal 2010. | |
• | The Company did not complete all of its planned restructuring actions by the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 and anticipates there could be additional restructuring charges of up to $17 million in Fiscal 2010. Including these costs, the full year Fiscal 2010 operating margin is still expected to be between 9.5 to 10.5 percent. | |
• | The Company expects its full year Fiscal 2010 tax rate to be between 30 and 32 percent. The Company does not anticipate significant discrete tax benefits as occurred in Fiscal 2009. | |
• | The Company expects that cash generated by operating activities will exceed $150 million in Fiscal 2010. Capital spending in Fiscal 2010 is planned at $30.0 million to $40.0 million. The Company will continue to use its cash flow for dividends, potential acquisitions, capital projects and maintenance of its strong liquidity position. |

Although the tax rate going forward is dependent upon the applicablebenefits, reduced statutory tax rates and the geographic mix of profits, the Company expects that it will be approximately 29 percent in fiscal 2007. The higher fiscal 2006 effective tax rate as compared to the prior year is primarily a result of the mix of earnings in our various jurisdictions. Higher taxbetween foreign jurisdictions such as Japan, Germany and the United Statesall contributed a higher proportion of our taxable earnings as compared to the prior year. The unfavorable timing of the phase-out/phase-in provisions of the United States export credit versus the manufacturing credit and the expiration of the research and development credit also adversely affected the rate for fiscal 2006.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,NewInterim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FSP No. FAS-107-1 and APB-28-1), which amends FAS 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrumentsand Accounting StandardsPrinciples Board (APB) Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods. This FSP will be effective for the Company for the quarter ended October 31, 2009, and will expand the Company’s disclosures regarding the use of fair value in interim periods.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1,Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets(FSP No. FAS 132(R)), which provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP No. FAS 132(R) on our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan note disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“(SFAS 158”)158).

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, (“FIN 47”) which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. However, the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.

Market Risk
The Company’s market risk includes the potential loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company manages foreign currency market risk from time to time through the use of a variety of financial and derivative instruments. The Company does not
enter into any of these instruments for trading purposes to generate revenue. Rather, the Company’s objective in managing these risks is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses forward exchange contracts and other hedging activities to hedge the U.S. dollar value resulting from existing recognized foreign currency denominated asset and liability balances and also for anticipated foreign currency transactions. The Company also naturally hedges foreign
currency through its production in the countries in which it sells its products. The Company’s market risk on interest rates is the potential decrease in fair value of long-term debt resulting from a potential increase in interest rates. See further discussion of these market risks below.
Foreign CurrencyDuring 2006,Fiscal 2009, the U.S. dollar was generally strongerstrong throughout the year relativecompared to many of the currencies of the foreign countries in which the Company operates. The overall strength of the dollar had a negative impact on the Company’s international net sales results because the foreign denominated revenues translated into lessfewer U.S. dollars.
It is not possible to determine the true impact of foreign currency translation changes; however,changes. However, the direct effect on reported net sales and net earnings can be estimated. For the year ended July 31, 2006,2009, the impact of foreign currency translation resulted in an overall decrease in reported net sales of $25.3$76.8 million, a decrease in operating expenses of $24.5 million and a decrease in reported net earnings of $0.8$3.8 million. Foreign currency translation had a negative impact in severalmost regions around the world. In Europe, the stronger U.S. dollar relative to the euro and British pound sterling resulted in a decrease of $17.9$66.2 million in reported net sales and aan insignificant decrease of $0.9 million in reported net earnings. In the Asia-Pacific region, theThe stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese yenAustralian dollar, Korean won, Mexican peso and South African rand had a negative impact on foreign currency translation with a decrease in reported net sales of $9.9$10.7 million, $6.1 million, $12.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and a decrease in reported net earnings of $0.6 million.million, $0.6 million, $2.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Foreign currency losses were partially offset by gains relative to the Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi of $13.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in reported net sales and $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in reported net earnings.
The Company maintains significant assets and operations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, South Africa and Mexico, resulting in exposure to foreign currency gains and losses. A portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposure is naturally hedged by incurring liabilities, including bank debt, denominated in the local currency in which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are located.
The foreign subsidiaries of the Company generally purchase productsthe majority of their input costs and partsthen sell to many of their Customers in various currencies. As a result, the same local currency.
The Company may be exposed to cost increases relative to local currencies in the markets to which it sells. To mitigate such adverse trends, the Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts and other hedging activities. Additionally, foreign currency positions are partially offsetting and are netted against one another to reduce exposure.
Some products made in the United States are sold abroad, primarily in Europe and Canada.abroad. As a result, sales of such products are affected by the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Any long-term strengthening of the U.S. dollar could depress these sales. Also, competitive conditions in the Company’s markets may limit its ability to increase product pricing in the face of adverse currency movements.
InterestThe Company’s exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investments, short-term borrowings and interest rate swap agreements as well as the potential increase in fair value of long-term debt resulting from a potential decrease in interest rates. The Company has no earnings or cash flow exposure due to market risks on its long-term debt obligations
17
as a result of the fixed-rate nature of the debt. However, interest rate changes would affect the fair market value of the debt. As of July 31, 2006,2009, the estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates was $91.3$253.1 million compared to its carrying value of $92.5$250.1 million. The fair value is estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the rate that similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. As of July 31, 2006, our2009, the Company’s financial liabilities with exposure to changes in interest rates consisted mainly of $73.4$29.6 million of short-term debt outstanding. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one-half percent in short-term interest rates, with all other variables remaining constant, interest expense would have increased $0.4$0.6 million in fiscal 2006.Fiscal 2009.
PensionsThe Company is exposed to market return fluctuations on its qualified defined benefit pension plans. During Fiscal 2009, the market value of these assets declined in conjunction with the global economic downturn. This decline in market value is the principle reason that pension expense is expected to increase by $1.1 million in Fiscal 2010. At July 31, 2009, the Company’s annual measurement date for its
pension plans, the plans were under funded by $40.7 million since the projected benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the recorded values of certain assets and liabilities. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adheres to generally accepted accounting principles and is consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates and underlying accounting assumptions are reviewed for reasonableness on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies that require more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and that are the most important to aid in fully understanding its financial results are the following:
Revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accountsRevenue is recognized when both product ownership and the risk of loss hashave transferred to the customerCustomer and the Company has no remaining obligations. The Company records estimated discounts and rebates as a reduction of sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated by management based on evaluation of potential losses related to customerCustomer receivable balances. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience in the industry, regional economic data and evaluation of specific customerCustomer accounts for risk of loss. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.Customers. The establishment of this reserve requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though management considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have an effect on reserve balances required.
Goodwill and other intangible assetsGoodwill is testedassessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviewsassessments for its reporting units and uses a discounted cash flow model based on management’s judgments and assumptions to determine the estimated fair value. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed an impairment testassessment during the third quarter of fiscal 2006Fiscal 2009 to satisfy its annual impairment requirement. Impairment testingThe impairment assessment in the third quarter indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount, including recorded goodwill and, as such, no impairment existed at that time. Other intangible assets with definite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite lived intangible assets are also subject to impairment testing.assessments. A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment tests,assessments, principally in determining the fair value of each reporting unit. While the Company believes its judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair values and, therefore, impairment charges could be required.
18
Inventory The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Domestic inventories are valued using the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the international subsidiaries use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reserves for shrink and obsolescence are estimated using standard quantitative measures based on historical losses, including issues related to specific inventory items. Though management considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have an effect on reserve balances required.
Product warranty The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on historical warranty claim experience and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer warranty issues. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the
potential for losses relating to warranty issues. Though management considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in the future could impact these determinations.
Income taxesAs part of the process of preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets and liabilities are evaluated by using estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. Management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent that a valuation allowance is established or increased, an expense within the tax provision is included in the statement of operations. Reserves are also estimated for uncertain tax positions that are currently unresolved. The Company routinely monitors the potential impact of such situations and believes that it is properly reserved. Valuations related to tax accruals and assets can be impacted by changes to tax codes, changes in statutory tax rates and the Company’s future taxable income levels.
The Company’s accounting for income taxes in Fiscal 2008 was affected by the adoption of FIN No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,which the Company was required to adopt on August 1, 2007. This pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As such, the standard required the Company to reassess all of the Company’s uncertain tax return positions in accordance with this new accounting principle. As of July 31, 2009, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $16.9 million.
Employee Benefit PlansThe Company incurs expenses relating to employee benefits such as non-contributory defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care benefits. In accounting for these employment costs, management must make a variety of assumptions and estimates including mortality rates, discount rates, overall Company compensation increases, expected return on plan assets and health care cost trend rates. The Company considers historical data as well as current facts and circumstances and uses a third-party specialist to assist management in determining these estimates.
To develop the assumption regarding the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for its U.S. pension plans, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 8.50 percent long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the Company’s U.S. pension plans. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country. The expected long-term rate of return on assets shown in the pension benefit disclosure for non-U.S. plans is an asset-based weighted average of all non-U.S. plans.
Reflecting the relatively long-term nature of the plans’ obligations, approximately 7045 percent of the plans’plans assets wereare invested in equities andequity securities, 30 percent of plans’ assets in alternative investments with the balance primarily invested(funds of hedge funds), 10 percent in real assets (investments into funds containing commodities and real estate), 10 percent in fixed income instruments.and 5 percent in private equity. Within equity securities, the Company targets an allocation of 15 percent international, 15 percent equity long / short, 10 percent small cap, and 5 percent large cap.
A one percent change in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would changehave changed the 2006Fiscal 2009 annual pension expense by approximately $2.3$3.6 million. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. follows the same methodology as described above but reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country.
The Company’s objective in selecting a discount rate for its pension plans is to select the best estimate of the rate at which the benefit obligations could be effectively settled on the measurement date taking into account the nature and duration of the benefit obligations of the plan. In making this best estimate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the benefits. This process includes looking atassessing the universe of bonds available on the measurement date with a quality rating of Aa or better. Similar appropriate benchmarks are used to determine the discount rate for the non-U.S. plans. As of ourthe measurement date of April 30, 2006,July 31, 2009, the Company increased itselected to maintain the 6.00 percent discount rate on U.S. plans to 6.25 percent from 5.5 percentelected as of April 30, 2005. The increase of 75 basis points wasJuly 31, 2009, for the U.S. pension plans. This is consistent with the changes in published bond indices. TheA 0.25 percent change decreasedin the Company’s U.S. projecteddiscount rate would have changed the benefit obligation as of April 30, 2006related to the U.S. plans by approximately $14.5$6.5 million at July 31, 2009, and is expected to decreasechanged Fiscal 2009 annual pension expense in fiscal year 2007 by approximately $0.9$0.3 million.
19
At April 30, 2006, the Company’s annual measurement date for its pension plans, the plans were over-funded by $18.8 million since the fair value of plan assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation. As of April 30, 2006, the Company has an unrecognized actuarial loss of $18.7 million which will be recognized as pension expense into the future over the average remaining service period of the employees in the plans in accordance with SFAS 87.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Donaldson Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTE A
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of BusinessDonaldson Company, Inc. (“Donaldson” or the “Company”), is a leading worldwide provider of filtration systems and replacement parts. The Company’s product mix includes air and liquid filtersfiltration systems and exhaust and emission control products for mobile equipment; in-plant air cleaning systems; compressed air purification systems; air intake systems for industrial gas turbines and specialized filters and membranes for such diverse applications as computer disk drives, industrial bags and semi-conductor processing.products. Products are manufactured at more than 3040 plants around the world and through three joint ventures. Products are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), distributors and dealers, and directly to end users.
Principles of ConsolidationThe Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Donaldson Company, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s three joint ventures that are not majority-owned are accounted for under the equity method. The Company does not have any variable interests in variable interest entities as of July 31, 2006.2009. The company uses a fiscal period which ends on a calendar basis for international affiliates and on the Friday nearest to July 31 for U.S. purposes. Fiscal 2007 results included 53 weeks of U.S. sales and earnings.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency TranslationFor most foreign operations, local currencies are considered the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and the resulting gains and losses arising from the translation of net assets located outside the United States are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a component of accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. Elements of the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earningsEarnings are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in Other income, net in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earnings.Earnings. Foreign currency transaction gainslosses of $0.3$0.2 million, $3.1 million and $1.0 million and losses of $0.5$0.2 million are included in other income, net in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earningsEarnings in 2006, 2005Fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2004,2007, respectively.
Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost that approximates market value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsTrade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience in the industry, regional economic data and evaluation of specific customerCustomer accounts for risk of loss. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.Customers.
InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. DomesticU.S. inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the international subsidiaries use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories valued at LIFO were approximately 3433 and 3635 percent of total inventories at July 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, respectively. For inventories valued under the LIFO method, the FIFO cost exceeded the LIFO carrying values by $31.7$34.0 million and $30.4$37.7 million at July 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, respectively. Results of

Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, improvements or major renewals are capitalized, while expenditures that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to operating expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method. Depreciation expense was $42.6$52.9 million in 2006, $42.6Fiscal 2009, $52.4 million in 2005,Fiscal 2008, and $40.1$46.6 million in 2004.Fiscal 2007. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are 10 to 40 years for buildings, including building improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. The components of property, plant and equipment are as follows (thousands of dollars):

Internal-Use SoftwareThe Company capitalizes direct costs of materials and services used in the development and purchase of internal-use software. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years and are reported as a component of machinery and equipment within property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Other intangible assets, consisting primarily of patents, trademarks and customerCustomer relationships and lists, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 53 to 1520 years. Goodwill is testedassessed for impairment annually or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testingThe impairment assessment for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but can be combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company completed its annual impairment testsassessment in the third quarterquarters of fiscal 2006Fiscal 2009 and 2005,2008, which indicated no impairment.
Recoverability of Long-Lived AssetsThe Company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by the undiscounted cash flows.reduced.
Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Earnings Per ShareThe Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive shares relating to stock options, restricted stock and stock incentive plans. Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods. There were 443,7031,158,451 options, 245,344 options, and 540,09510,000 options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation for the fiscal year ended July 31, 20062009, 2008, and 2005,2007, respectively.

Effective June 27, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the acceleration of vesting of certain unvested and “out-of-the-money” stock options outstanding under the Plan. The accelerated options were granted in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 with a three-year vesting period and had exercise prices per share ranging from $30.38 to $30.69. Options for the purchase of 511,242 shares of the common stock of the Company became exercisable immediately as a result of this action. No options held by any director or named executive officer were included in the acceleration action. As a result, the amount of pre-tax compensation expense amortized during fiscal 2006 was reduced by approximately $2.1 million from what it would have otherwise been.

Shipping and handling costs for fiscal 2006, 2005Fiscal 2009, 2008 and 20042007 totaling $35.3$50.4 million, $34.2$53.0 million and $31.8$34.8 million, respectively, are classified as a component of operating expenses.
Product WarrantiesThe Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on historical warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customerCustomer warranty issues.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesThe Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in shareholders’ equity through other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized. Gains or losses related to the ineffective portion of any hedge are recognized through earnings in the current period.
Asset Retirement Obligations The Company accounts for obligations under retirements of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS 143”). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
30
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, (“FIN 47”) which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143 refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. However, the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 was effective for the Company’s fiscal period ended July 31, 2006. As of July 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have any obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets.
Exit or Disposal ActivitiesThe Company accounts for costs relating to exit or disposal activities under SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities for exit and disposal activities initiated beginning in fiscal 2003.. SFAS No. 146 addresses recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities including restructuring. See Note L for disclosures related to restructuring.
GuaranteesUpon issuance of a guarantee, the Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. See Note K for disclosures related to guarantees.
New Accounting StandardsIn May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165), which establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. This new standard was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FSP No. FAS-107-1 and APB-28-1), which amends FAS 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrumentsand Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods. This FSP will be effective for the Company for the quarter ended October 31, 2009, and will expand the Company’s disclosures regarding the use of fair value in interim periods.

This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP No. FAS 132(R) on our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan note disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“(SFAS 158”)158).

SFAS 158 also requires measurement of the funded status of a plan as of the date of the statement of financial position. SFAS 158 is effective for recognitionThat provision required the Company to change its measurement date from April 30 to July 31 in Fiscal 2009. The adoption of the funded statusmeasurement date provision resulted in an after-tax decrease to Retained earnings of $0.9 million, a decrease to Other assets of $0.5 million increase to Other long-term liabilities of $0.8 million and an increase to Deferred income taxes of $0.5 million.
In September 2006, the benefit plansFASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and isexpands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, except for the measurement of share-based payments. SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances, and was effective for the measurementmajority of the Company’s assets and liabilities for its Fiscal 2009 year beginning August 1, 2008. The adoption of this portion of SFAS 157 in Fiscal 2009 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157(FSP FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 delays by one year the effective date provisionsof SFAS 157 for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the effectimpact the FSP FAS 157-2 will have on the determination of SFAS 158fair value related to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in Fiscal 2010. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidatedthe Company’s financial statements.
In June 2006,February 2007, the FASB issued FASB InterpretationSFAS No. 48,159,AccountingThe Fair Value Option for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“FIN 48”(“SFAS 159”). This pronouncement prescribes a recognition thresholdSFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expectedcertain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and was effective for the Company with its 2009 fiscal year, beginning August 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 15, 2006.2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations(SFAS 141(R)), which changes the accounting for business combinations and their effects on the financial statements. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for the Company at the beginning of Fiscal 2010. In February 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 141(R)-a,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies(FSP FAS 141(R)-a), which will amend certain provisions of SFAS 141(R). The adoptions of SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-a are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted the effectprovisions of FIN 48 on itsSFAS 161 effective February 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 only requires additional disclosures about the Company’s derivatives and thus did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company estimates thatThere are no maturities in 2013. As of July 31, 2009, the carryingestimated fair value of long-term debt approximateswith fixed interest rates was $253.1 million compared to its carrying value of $250.1 million.
On November 14, 2008, the Company issued an $80 million senior unsecured note. The note is due on November 14, 2013. The debt was issued at face value and bears interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 6.59 percent. The proceeds from the note were used to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
On June 1, 2007, the Company issued $100 million of senior unsecured notes. The first $50 million was funded on June 1, 2007, and the remaining two $25 million tranches were funded on September 28, 2007, and November 30, 2007. The three tranches are due on June 1, 2017, September 28, 2017, and November 30, 2017, respectively. The debt was issued at face value and bears interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.48 percent. The proceeds from the notes were used to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair market value.value of its fixed-rate debt resulting from interest rate fluctuations. To hedge this exposure the Company entered into two fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps on August 3, 2009, subsequent to year end, for $80 million and $25 million, respectively, for approximately 5 and 8 years, respectively. These interest rate swaps will be accounted for as fair value hedges. Changes in the payment of interest resulting from the interest rate swaps will be recorded as an offset to interest expense.
Certain note agreements contain debt covenants related to working capital levels and limitations on indebtedness. Further, the Company is restricted from paying dividends or repurchasing common stock if its tangible net worth (as defined) does not exceed certain minimum levels. As of July 31, 2006,2009, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Table of Contents The Company currently expects to remain in compliance with these covenants.
NOTE E
Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
Derivatives The Company records all derivative instruments in the financial statements at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative transactions only to the extent true exposures exist; the Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. The Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly rated counterparties. These transactions may expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the instruments have a positive fair value, but the Company has not experienced any material losses, nor does the Company anticipate any material losses.
Each derivative transaction the Company enters into is designated at inception as a hedge and is expected to be highly effective. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. When a derivative is determined to be or is no longer expected to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings on the same line as the underlying transaction risk.
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt resulting from interest rate fluctuations. To hedge this exposure, the Company has from time to time entered into fixed to variable interest rate swaps that were accounted for as fair value hedges. The fair value of these swaps was recorded net of the underlying outstanding debt. Changes in the payment of interest resulting from the interest rate swaps are recorded as an offset to interest expense. Effectiveness is assessed based on changes in the fair value of the underlying debt using incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar terms and maturities. The Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding as of July 31, 2006.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts of generally less than one year to hedge forecasted transactions withamongst its foreign subsidiaries, and to reduce potential exposure related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for existing recognized assets and liabilities andliabilities. It also utilizes forward exchange contracts for anticipated intercompany and third-party transactions such as purchases, sales and dividend payments denominated in local currencies. Forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges as they are designed to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with the underlying existing recognized or anticipated transactions. Changes in the value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity until earnings are affected by the variability of the underlying cash flows. At that time, the applicable amount of gain or loss from the derivative instrument that is deferred in shareholders’ equity is reclassified to earnings and is included in other income or expense. For foreign currency forward contracts used as cash flow hedges, effectivenessearnings. Effectiveness is measured using spot rates to value both the hedge contract and the hedged item. The excluded forward points, as well as any ineffective portions of hedges, are recorded in earnings through the same line as the underlying transaction. During fiscal year 2006,Fiscal 2009, $0.4 million in gainsof losses were recorded in fiscal 2006 due to the exclusion of forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Net unrealized losses of $0.7 million and $0.3 million from cash flow hedges were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These unrealized losses and gains are reclassified, as appropriate, as earnings are affected by the variability of the underlying cash flows during the term of the hedges. For fiscal year 2006, $0.8The Company expects to record $0.6 million of net deferred gains were reclassifiedlosses from accumulated otherthese forward exchange contracts during the next twelve months.
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt resulting from interest rate fluctuations. To hedge this exposure the Company entered into two fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps on August 3, 2009, subsequent to year end, for $80 million and $25 million, respectively, for approximately 5 and 8 years, respectively. These interest rate swaps will be accounted for as fair value hedges. Changes in the payment of interest resulting from the interest rate swaps will be recorded as an offset to interest expense.
The Company entered into and settled an interest rate lock in October 2008. The interest rate lock settlement resulted in a $0.5 million in gain, net of deferred taxes of $0.2 million, which will be amortized into income over the life of the related debt.
The following summarizes the Company’s fair value of outstanding derivatives at July 31, 2009, and 2008, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (thousands of dollars):

The Company’s derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as the Company deals with a variety of major banks worldwide. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are utilized. The Company would not be materially impacted if any of the counterparties to the derivative financial instruments outstanding at July 31, 2009, failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or any other income.form of securitization to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative instruments.
Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsAt July 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative contracts are reported at their fair values based on third-party quotes. As of July 31, 2006,2009, the estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates was $91.3$253.1 million compared to its carrying value of $92.5$250.1 million. The fair value is estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the rate that similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed.
34
Credit RiskThe Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties in interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. Collateral is generally not required of the counterparties or of the Company. In the unlikely event a counterparty fails to meet the contractual terms of an interest rate swap or foreign exchange forward contract, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instrument. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at July 31, 2009 or 2008. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by
selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. The Company has not had any historical instances of non-performance by any counterparties, nor does it anticipate any future instances of non-performance.
NOTE F
Employee Benefit Plans
Pension PlansThe Company and certain of its subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans for many of its hourly and salaried employees. The domesticU.S. plans include plans that provide defined benefits as well as a plan for salaried workers that provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit comprised of a percentage of current salary that varies with years of service, interest credits and transition credits. The international plans generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation level. TheDuring Fiscal 2009, the Company useschanged its measurement date to July 31, in accordance with the measurement date provisions of FAS 158, as discussed below. During Fiscal 2008, the Company used an April 30 measurement date for its pension plans.

Negotiations with one of our unions resulted in a freeze in pension benefits at one of our U.S. plants. In exchange for the freezing of the plan, participants will be eligible for a company match in a defined contribution plan. The freeze in the plan resulted in a curtailment loss of $0.9 million during Fiscal 2009.
In anticipation of Japanese defined benefit plan law changes, the Company terminated the defined benefit plan offered to its employees in Japan on December 31, 2006, which resulted in a net settlement gain of $1.9 million in Fiscal 2007. This plan was replaced with a defined contribution plan as of January 1, 2007. The Company incurred the cost of initial contributions to the defined contribution plan as well as other costs of converting participants to the new defined contribution plan resulting in a net pretax gain for the net settlement and transition to the defined contribution plan of approximately $0.6 million during Fiscal 2007.
Effective July 31, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This statement requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position. This statement also requires that changes in the funded status are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the year in which the adoption occurs and in other comprehensive income in the following years. SFAS 158’s provisions regarding the change in the measurement date of postretirement benefits plans required the Company to change its measurement date from April 30 to July 31 during Fiscal 2009. The adoption of the measurement date provisions resulted in an after-tax decrease to Retained earnings of $0.9 million, a decrease to Other assets of $0.5 million increase to Other long-term liabilities of $0.8 million and an increase to Deferred income taxes of $0.5 million.

Expected Long-Term Rate of ReturnTo develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 8.50 percent long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the Company’s U.S. pension plans. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plans outside the U.S. reflects the investment allocation and expected total portfolio returns specific to each plan and country. The expected long-term rate of return on assets shown in the pension benefit disclosure for non-U.S. plans is an asset-based weighted average of all non-U.S. plans.
Discount RateThe Company’s objective in selecting a discount rate is to select the best estimate of the rate at which the benefit obligations could be effectively settled on the measurement date, taking into account the nature and duration of the benefit obligations of the plan. In making this best estimate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available, and expected to be available, during the period to maturity of the benefits. This process includes looking at the universe of bonds available on the measurement date with a quality rating of Aa or better. Similar appropriate benchmarks are used to determine the discount rate for the non-U.S. plans. The discount rate for non-U.S. plans disclosed in the assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and to determine benefit obligations is based upon a weighted average, using year-end projected benefit obligations, of all non-U.S. plans.

Investment Policies and Strategies.For the Company’s U.S. plans, the Company uses a total return investment approach to achieve a long-term return on plan assets, with a prudent level of risk for the purpose of meeting its retirement income commitments to employees. The plan’s investments are diversified to assist in managing risk. The Company’s asset allocation guidelines target an allocation of 6045 percent equity securities, 30 percent alternative investments (fund(funds of hedge funds) and, 10 percent bonds.real assets (investments into funds containing commodities and real estate), 10 percent fixed income and 5 percent private equity. Within equity securities, the Company targetswill target an allocation of 2515 percent international, 15 percent equity long / short, 10 percent small cap, 15 percent
37
large cap, 15 percent international and 5 percent private equity.large cap. These target allocation guidelines are determined in consultation with the Company’s investment consultant, and through the use of modeling the risk/return trade-offs among asset classes utilizing assumptions about expected annual return, expected volatility/standard deviation of returns and expected correlations with other asset classes. Investment policy and performance is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis by the Company’s investment committee through its use of an investment consultant and through quarterly investment portfolio reviews.
For the Company’s non-U.S. plans, the general investment objectives are to maintain a suitably diversified portfolio of secure assets of appropriate liquidity which will generate income and capital growth to meet, together with any new contributions from members and the Company, the cost of current and future benefits.
Estimated Contributions and Future Payments ForAs a result of its U.S. pension plans,past funding practices, the Company does not have a minimum required contribution under the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation requirements for fiscal 2007. However, the Company may electits U.S. pension plans for Fiscal 2010. As a result, there is no current intention to contribute up to its maximum deductiblemake a U.S. pension contribution of $28.6 million in fiscal 2007.Fiscal 2010. For its non-U.S. pension plans, the Company estimates that it will contribute approximately $8.1$5 million in fiscal 2007.Fiscal 2010, based upon the local government prescribed funding requirements.
Estimated future benefit payments for the Company’s U.S. and non-U.S. plans are as follows (thousands of dollars):

Postemployment and Postretirement Benefit PlansThe Company provides certain postemployment and postretirement health care benefits for certain U.S. employees for a limited time after termination of employment. The Company has recorded a liability for its postretirement benefit plan in the amount of $3.6$1.7 million and $3.9$3.1 million as of July 31, 20062009 and July 31, 2005,2008, respectively. The annual cost resulting from these benefits is not material. Union negotiations have resulted in one U.S. plant freezing the plan. This change resulted in a curtailment gain of $1.4 million. For measurement purposes, a 10an 8 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2006. We haveFiscal 2009. The Company has assumed that the long-term rate of increase will decrease gradually to an ultimate annual rate of 5 percent. A one-percentage point increase in the health care cost trend rate would increase the fiscal 2006Fiscal 2009 and 2005 costs2008 liability by $0.4 million.$0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
401(k) Retirement Savings and Employee Stock Ownership PlanThe Company provides a contributory employee savings plan to U.S. employees that permits participants to make contributions by salary reduction pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. EmployeeThrough April 13, 2009, employee contributions of up to 25 percent of compensation are matched at a rate equaling 100 percent of the first 3 percent contributed and 50 percent of the next 2 percent contributed. The Company’s contributions under this plan are based on the level of employee contributions as well as a discretionary contribution based on performance of the Company. The Plan was amended effective April 13, 2009, to reduce Company fixed matching contributions to the Plan for salaried employees. After April 13, 2009, fixed matching contributions for salaried employees were calculated at 50 percent of up to 3 percent of compensation deferred by the participant and deposited into the Plan, and 25 percent of the next 2 percent of compensation deferred by
the participant and deposited to the Plan. In addition, the Company fixed matching contribution was eliminated for Company Executive Officers and Vice Presidents. Total contribution expense for these plans was $6.4$5.1 million, $5.8$8.3 million and $5.9$8.1 million for the years ended July 31, 2006, 20052009, 2008 and 2004,2007, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company maintains This plan also includes shares from an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees.. As of July 31, 2006,2009, all shares of the planESOP have been allocated to participants. The ESOP’s only assets are Company common stock. Total ESOP shares are considered to be shares outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Deferred Compensation and Other Benefit PlansThe Company provides various deferred compensation and other benefit plans to certain executives. The deferred compensation plan allows these employees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of their salary, bonus and other stock related compensation and up to 75 percent of their salary to future periods. Other benefit plans are provided to supplement the benefits for a select group of highly compensated individuals which are reduced because of compensation limitations set by
38
the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has recorded a liability in the amount of $10.7$10.0 million and $10.6 million as of the year ended July 31, 20062009 and July 31, 2005,2008, respectively, related primarily to its deferred compensation plans.
NOTE G
Shareholders’ Equity
Stock RightsOn January 27, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the extension of the benefits afforded by the Company’s existing rights plan by adopting a new shareholder rights plan. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2006, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, one right was issued on March 3, 2006, for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company upon the expiration of the Company’s existing rights. Each of the new rights entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, without par value, at a price of $143.00 per one one-thousandth of a share. The rights, however, will not become exercisable unless and until, among other things, any person acquires 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company. If a person acquires 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (subject to certain conditions and exceptions more fully described in the Rights Agreement), each right will entitle the holder (other than the person who acquired 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock) to purchase common stock of the Company having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of a right. The rights are redeemable under certain circumstances at $.001 per right and will expire, unless earlier redeemed, on March 2, 2016.
Stock Compensation PlansThe Stock Compensation Plans in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity consist of the balance of amounts payable to eligible participants for stock compensation that was deferred to a Rabbi Trust pursuant to the provisions of the 2001 Master Stock Incentive Plan, as well as performance awards payable in common stock discussed further in Note H.
Treasury StockThe Company believes that the share repurchase program is a way of providing return to its shareholders. The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at the Company’s discretion, of 8.0 million shares of common stock under the stock repurchase plan dated March 31, 2006. As of July 31, 2006,2009, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase 6.20.9 million shares under this plan.

NOTE H
Stock Option Plans
Employee Incentive PlansIn November 2001, shareholders approved the 2001 Master Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that replaced the 1991 Plan that expired on December 31, 2001, and provided for similar awards. The Plan extends through December 2011 and allows for the granting of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), dividend equivalents, dollar-denominated awards and other stock-based awards. Options under the Plan are granted to key employees at or above market price at the date of grant. Options are exercisable for up
39
to 10 years from the date of grant. The Plan also allows for the granting of performance awards to a limited number of key executives. As administered by the Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, these performance awards are payable in common stock and are based on a formula which measures performance of the Company over a three-year period. The Company recorded a net reversal of performance award expense in Fiscal 2009 of $3.1 million. The net benefit is due to the reversal of $3.6 million of Long-Term Compensation Plan expense recognized in prior periods. This reversal reflects an adjustment in the expected payouts for the three-year cycles ending July 31, 2009, and July 31, 2010, to zero based upon actual and forecasted results. Performance award expense under these plans totaled $5.2 million, $5.3$4.2 million and $2.9$2.7 million in 2006, 2005Fiscal 2008 and 2004,2007, respectively.
Stock Options Stock options issued during fiscal 2006from Fiscal 1999 to Fiscal 2009 become exercisable for non-executives in equal increments over three years and becomeyears. Stock options issued from Fiscal 1999 to Fiscal 2009 became exercisable for most executives immediately upon the date of grant. Certain other stock options issued to executives during fiscalFiscal 2004, 2006 and 2007 become exercisable in equal increments over three years. Stock options issued during fiscal 2005 become exercisable for non-executives in equal increments over three years and become exercisable for executives upon the date of grant. Stock options issued during fiscal 2004 become exercisable for non-executives in equal increments over three years and become exercisable for most executives immediately upon the date of grant. Certain stock options issued to executives during fiscal 2004 become exercisable in equal increments over three years. Stock options issued from fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2003 became exercisable for non-executives in equal increments over three years and became exercisable for executives immediately upon the date of grant. Stock options issued during fiscal 1997 and 1998 became exercisable in equal increments over three years for both executives and non-executives. Stock options issued prior to fiscal l997 for non-executives and during fiscal 1996 for executives became exercisable in equal increments over four years. Prior to fiscal 1996, stock options became exercisable immediately for executives.
Effective June 27, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the acceleration of vesting of certain unvested and “out-of-the-money” stock options outstanding under the Plan. The accelerated options were granted in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 with a three-year vesting period and had exercise prices per share ranging from $30.38 to $30.69. Options for the purchase of 511,242 shares of the common stock of the Company became exercisable immediately as a result of this action. No options held by any director or named executive officer were included in the acceleration action. As a result, the amount of pre-tax compensation expense amortized during fiscal 2006 was reduced by approximately $2.1 million from what it would have otherwise been. For fiscal 2006,Fiscal 2009, the Company recorded pretax compensation expense associated with stock options of $2.8$4.1 million and recorded $1.0$1.5 million of related tax benefit.
On August 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R,Share Based Payment – Revised 2004, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, stock-basedStock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair-value based method for all new awards granted after August 1, 2005. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and awards that were outstanding at August 1, 2005, are recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards as previously calculated under the pro-forma disclosures under SFAS 123.disclosures. The Company determined the fair value of these awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Reload grants are grants made to officers or directors who exercised a reloadable option during the fiscal year and made payment of the purchase price using shares of previously owned Company stock. The reload
40
grant is for the number of shares equal to the shares used in payment of the purchase price and/or withheld for minimum tax withholding. There were no reload grants made in fiscal 2006.
Black-Scholes is a widely accepted stock option pricing model; however, the ultimate value of stock options granted will be determined by the actual lives of options granted and the actual future price levels of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average fair value for options granted during fiscal 2006, 2005Fiscal 2009, 2008 and 20042007 is $9.36, $8.08$8.56, $10.60 and $9.46$7.89 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

The effective tax rate for Fiscal 2009 was 18.3 percent compared 27.2 percent in Fiscal 2008. The decrease in effective rate is primarily due to the settlements of long-standing court cases and examinations in various jurisdictions for tax years 2003 through 2006, the reassessment of the corresponding unrecognized tax benefits for the subsequent open years and a favorable resolution of a foreign tax matter. Partially offsetting these effects, the Company’s Fiscal 2009 tax rate was unfavorably impacted by an increased expense from the repatriation of foreign earnings. Absent these items, the underlying tax rate for the Fiscal 2009 has decreased from Fiscal 2008 by 1.2 points to 30.4 percent. The reinstatement of the U.S. Research and Experimentation credit, changes in current year unrecognized tax benefits, reduced statutory tax rates and the mix of earnings between foreign jurisdictions all contributed to the reduction in the underlying rate.
The Company repatriated $160.0 million of its accumulated foreign earnings in fiscal 2006 under the favorable provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Totalhas not provided for U.S. income taxes of $3.6 million and $4.0 million have been provided on these repatriations in 2006 and 2005, respectively. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on additional undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries of approximately $279.0$483.4 million. The Company currently plans to permanently reinvest these undistributed earnings.earnings in its non-U.S. subsidiaries. If any portion were to be distributed, the related U.S. tax liability may be reduced by foreign income taxes paid on those earnings plus any available foreign tax credit carryovers. Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable.
The increase in the tax rate from 2005 primarily reflects the mix of earnings by jurisdiction. While the underlying rate continues to reflect the significant contribution from the Company’s international operations, the majority of which now have statutory tax rates below those of the United States, a higher percentage of the Company’s 2006 earnings were made in the United States or other countries with higher than average tax rates. Additionally, the Company recognized a smaller benefit from U.S. research and development credits in 2006 than in 2005 due primarily to the credit expiring in the middle of the fiscal year. In the first quarter of 2006 the Company recognized $0.9 million of benefit from a prior year amended research and development tax credit, consistent with the amount recognized in 2005.
While non-US operations have been profitable overall, the Company has cumulative pre-tax loss carryforwards of $8.6$6.7 million, which are carried as net operating losses in certain international subsidiaries. Approximately $3.1 million of these losses are attributable to pre-acquisition carryforwards. If fully realized, the unexpired net operating losses may be carried forward to offset future local income tax payments, at current rates of tax, of $2.6$1.4 million. Approximately 737 percent of these net operating losses expire within the next three years, while the majority of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards have no statutory expiration under current local laws. However, due to the uncertainty of being able to realizeas it is more likely than not that certain of these losses will not be realized, a valuation allowance of $1.4$1.1 million has been recorded atexists as of July 31, 2006.2009.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,on August 1, 2007. The standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authorities based solely on the technical merits of the position. If the recognition threshold is met, the tax benefit is measured and recognized as the largest amount of tax benefit that in the Company’s judgment is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $0.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the August 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (thousands of dollars):

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, the Company recognized interest expense, net of tax benefit, of approximately $0.7 million. At July 31, 2009 and 2008, accrued interest and penalties on a gross basis were $1.8 million and $5.7 million respectively.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are affected by the tax years that are under audit or remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The following tax years, in addition to the current year, remain subject to examination, at least for certain issues, by the major tax jurisdictions indicated:
Major Jurisdictions | Open Tax Years | |
Belgium | 2005 through 2008 | |
China | 2000 through 2008 | |
France | 2006 through 2008 | |
Germany | 2004 through 2008 | |
Italy | 2003 through 2008 | |
Mexico | 2004 through 2008 | |
United Kingdom | 2007 through 2008 | |
United States | 2007 through 2008 |
If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits would benefit the effective tax rate. With an average statute of limitations of about 5 years, up to $1.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefits could potentially be realized in the next 12 month period, unless extended by audit.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R,Share Based Payment – Revised 2004, SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxesand EITF Topic D-32,Intra-period Tax Allocation of the Effect of Pretax Income from Continuing Operations, the Company has elected to use the “with-and-without” intra-period tax allocation rules. Under these rules, the windfall tax benefit is calculated based on the incremental tax benefit received from deductions related to stock-based compensation.
NOTE J
Segment Reporting
Consistent with SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company identified two reportable segments: Engine Products and Industrial Products. Segment selection was based on the internal organizational structure, management of operations and performance evaluation by management and the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Engine Products segment sells to OEMs in the construction, mining, agriculture, aerospace, defense and transportationtruck markets and to independent distributors, OEM dealer networks, private label accounts and large equipment fleets. Products include air intakefiltration systems, exhaust and emissions systems, liquid filtration systems and replacement filters.
The Industrial Products segment sells to various industrial end-users, OEMs of gas-fired turbines, and OEMs and end-users requiring highly purified air. Products include dust, fume and mist collectors, compressed air purification systems, static and pulse-clean air filter systems for gas turbines and specialized air filtration systems for diverse applications including computer hard disk drives.
Corporate and Unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be non-allocable to the segments and interest income and expense, non-operating income and expense, and expenses not allocated to the business segments in the same period. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adjusted its basis of measurement for earnings before income taxes such that certain expenses, such as amortization of intangibles, which were previously considered to be Corporate and Unallocated, are now included in the Engine and Industrial Products segment results. The impact of the change in the basis of measurement resulted in approximately $16.0 million of Corporate and Unallocated expenses being charged to the Engine and Industrial Products segments’ aggregate earnings before income taxes in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. This change resulted in approximately $8.0 million of additional expense to each of the Engine and Industrial Products segments during fiscal 2006. This adjustment to the basis of measurement of segment earnings did not change the business components included in each of the Company’s reportable segments.expense. Assets included in Corporate and Unallocated principally are cash and cash equivalents, inventory reserves, certain prepaids, certain investments, other assets and assets allocated to intercompany transactions.general corporate purposes.
The Company has an internal measurement system to evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s manufacturing facilities serve both reporting segments. Therefore, the Company uses an allocation methodology to assign costs and assets to the segments. A certain amount of costs and assets is assignedrelate to intercompany activitygeneral corporate purposes and isare not assigned to either segment. Certain accounting policies applied to the reportable segments differ from those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The reportable segments account for receivables on a gross basis and account for inventory on a standard cost basis.
Segment allocated assets are primarily accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment and goodwill. Reconciling items included in Corporate and Unallocated are created based on accounting
differences between segment reporting and the consolidated, external reporting as well as internal allocation methodologies. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified between
The Company is an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and sharing of assets. Therefore, we do not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the segments to conform to the current structure. Amounts reclassified in net salesoperating profit and earnings before income taxes are not significant.other financial information shown below.

During fiscal 2004, an error was identified totaling $3.6 million (at 2004 exchange rates) relating to 2003 transactions between certain European subsidiaries and the United States in our Industrial Products segment. We assessed the materiality of these transactions on our reported results for both years and determined that they were not material. However, if the error had been identified and recorded in 2003, the Industrial Products segment would have reported $3.6 million more earnings before income taxes for 2004.

Note 1: Shares authorized for issuance during the 10-year term are limited in each plan year to 1.5% of the Company’s “outstanding shares” (as defined in the 2001 Master Stock Incentive Plan).
Note 2: The stock option program for non-employee directors (filed as exhibit 10-N to the Company’s 1998 Form 10-K report) provides for each non-employee director to receive annual option grants of 7,200 shares. The 2001 Master Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on November 16, 2001, also provides for the issuance of stock options to non-employee directors.
Note 3: The Company has a non-qualified ESOP Restoration Plan established on August 1, 1990 (filed as exhibit 10-E to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 1998), to supplement the benefits for executive employees under the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan that would otherwise be reduced because of the compensation limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. The ESOP’s 10-year term was completed on July 31, 1997, and the only ongoing benefits under the ESOP Restoration Plan are the accrual of dividend equivalent rights to the participants in the Plan.
