The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CTS Corporation (“CTS” or “the Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes thereto, and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

At ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, CTS had four equity-based compensation plans: the 2001 Stock Option Plan (“2001 Plan”), the Nonemployee Directors’ Stock Retirement Plan (“Directors’ Plan”), the 2004 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), and the 2009 Omnibus Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). All of these plans, except the Directors’ Plan, were approved by shareholders. As of December 31, 2009, additional grants can only be made under the 2004 and 2009 Plans. CTS believes that equity-based awards align the interest of employees with those of its shareholders.

The 2009 Plan, and previously the 2001 Plan and 2004 Plan, provides for grants of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to officers, key employees, and nonemployee members of CTS’ board of directors. In addition, the 2009 Plan and the 2004 Plan allow for grants of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock awards.

The following table summarizes the compensation expense included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012, respectively, relating to equity-based compensation plans:

Awards available for grant		1,682,842		262,686				1,755,471		262,686

Stock options are exercisable in cumulative annual installments over a maximum 10-year period, commencing at least one year from the date of grant. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The stock options generally vest over four years and have a 10-year contractual life. The awards generally contain provisions to either accelerate vesting or allow vesting to continue on schedule upon retirement if certain service and age requirements are met. The awards also provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control event.

The Company estimated the fair value of the stock option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions for expected price volatility, option term, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Expected price volatilities were based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock. The expected option term is derived from historical data on exercise behavior. The dividend yield was based on historical dividend payments. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of the status of stock options as of ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012, and changes during the ~~six-month~~nine-month periods then ended, is presented below:

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013:

Service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each unit when the unit vests. RSUs are issued to officers, key employees and non-employee directors as compensation. Generally, the RSUs vest over a three-year period. A summary of the status of RSUs as of ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012, and changes during the ~~six-month~~nine-month periods then ended is presented below:

In December 2012, CTS acquired D&R Technology (“D&R”), a privately-held company ~~located~~with locations in Carol Stream, Illinois and Juarez, Mexico for $63.5 ~~million.~~million in cash. D&R is a leading manufacturer of custom designed sensors, switches and electromechanical assemblies primarily serving the automotive light-vehicle market. This acquisition expands CTS’ strategic automotive sensor product platform with new customers and a broader product portfolio. The acquisition also diversifies CTS’ Components and Sensors segment and brings new growth opportunities from sensor applications for safety systems and vehicle chassis management. Additionally, D&R brings strong sensor design and development engineering capabilities to complement CTS’ engineering team.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:


	Estimated Fair Values			Estimated Fair Values
*($ in thousands)*	At December 21, 2012			At December 21, 2012

Net cash paid	$	63,500		$	63,500

Included in current assets is the fair value of accounts receivable of $7,693,000. Goodwill recorded in connection with the above acquisition is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of the business and the assembled workforce of the acquired business. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over a 15-year period.

The following table summarizes the net sales and earnings before income taxes of D&R that isare included in CTS’ Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended		Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
*($ in thousands)*	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2013		September 29, 2013		September 29, 2013

Earnings before income taxes	$	1,706	$	1,856	$	602	$	2,458

The D&R acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price is allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on the fair market values on the date of acquisition. CTS determines the purchase price allocations on the acquisition based on estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment as a result of additional information provided by CTS’ external valuation consultants. This adjustment increased amortizable intangible assets by $1,457,000. Other measurement period adjustments were recorded for accounts receivable and accounts payable to reflect fair market values on the date of acquisition, which resulted in a decrease of $260,000 and an increase of $3,000, respectively. The net effect of these measurement period adjustments reduced goodwill by $1,194,000. The allocations for goodwill and other intangible assets ~~is based on~~are prepared by the Company’s management utilizing a third-party valuation report and other tools available to the Company, including review with the acquired company’s management and historical ~~experience and third party evaluation.~~data from the Company’s prior acquisitions. The allocations pertaining to goodwill and other intangible assets will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2013.

In January 2012, CTS acquired 100% of the common stock of Valpey-Fisher Corporation (“Valpey-Fisher”), a publicly held company located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts for approximately $18.3 ~~million.~~million in cash. Valpey-Fisher is a recognized technology leader in the design and manufacture of precision frequency crystal oscillators. This acquisition expands CTS’ technology, and brings strong engineering capabilities and management leadership to support the Company’s strategic initiatives in CTS’ Component and Sensors’ segment.

The Valpey-Fisher acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on the fair market values on the date of acquisition. CTS determined the purchase price allocations on the acquisition based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. CTS finalized the purchase price allocation at December 31, 2012.

On January 10, 2012, CTS amended its November 18, 2010 unsecured revolving credit facility. This amendment provided for an increase in the revolving credit facility to $200 million and increased the accordion feature, whereby CTS can expand the facility to $300 million, subject to participating banks’ approval. Additionally, among other covenants, the amendment reduced the applicable margin by 25 basis points, increased the total consideration the ~~company~~Company may pay for non-U.S. based acquisitions, and extended the term of the credit facility through January 10, 2017.

Revolving credit facility, weighted-average interest rate of 1.9% (2013), and 1.8% (2012) due in 2017					$	128,600	$	153,500

There was ~~$129.5~~$128.6 million outstanding under the $200 million revolving credit facility at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, and $153.5 million at December 31, 2012. The Company had ~~$67.9~~$68.8 million available under the $200 million credit facility, ~~at June 30, 2013,~~ net of standby letters of credit of $2.6 million at September 29, 2013, and $43.9 million available, ~~at December 31, 2012,~~ net of standby letters of credit of $2.6 ~~million.~~million at December 31, 2012. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility fluctuate based upon London Interbank Offered Rate and the Company’s quarterly total leverage ratio. CTS pays a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee varies based on the quarterly leverage ratio and was ~~0.40 percent and 0.35~~0.30 percent per annum at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and ~~July 1, 2012, respectively.~~September 30, 2012. The revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that CTS comply with a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Failure of CTS to comply with these covenants could reduce the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. CTS was in compliance with all debt covenants at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013. The revolving credit facility requires CTS to deliver quarterly financial statements, annual financial statements, auditors certifications and compliance certificates within a specified number of days after the end of a quarter and year. Additionally, the revolving facility contains restrictions limiting CTS’ ability to: dispose of assets; incur certain additional debt; repay other debt or amend subordinated debt instruments; create liens on assets; make investments, loans or advances; make acquisitions or engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in certain transactions with CTS’ subsidiaries and affiliates; and make stock repurchases and dividend payments.

CTS uses interest rate swaps to convert the line of credit’s variable rate of interest into a fixed rate. In the second quarter of 2012, CTS entered into four separate interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on $50 million of long-term debt for the periods January 2013 to January 2017. In the third quarter of 2012, CTS entered into four separate interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on $25 million of long-term debt for the periods January 2013 to January 2017. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the swap agreements will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related line of credit when settled.

These swaps are treated as cash flow hedges and consequently, the changes in fair value were recorded in ~~Other Comprehensive Income.~~other comprehensive earnings. An unrealized loss of approximately $428,000 and an unrealized gain of approximately ~~$765,000 and $801,000~~$373,000 was recorded in ~~Other Comprehensive Income~~other comprehensive earnings for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, respectively.

CTS also reclassed approximately ~~$78,000~~$81,000 and ~~$155,000~~$236,000 of realized loss out of other comprehensive ~~income~~earnings to interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, respectively. No realized loss was reclassed out of other comprehensive ~~income~~earnings to interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. Approximately ~~$334,000~~$390,000 was recorded as accrued liabilities and ~~$341,000~~$633,000 recorded as a non-current liability in other long-term obligations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013. Approximately $271,000 was recorded as accrued liabilities and $1,336,000 recorded as a non-current liability in ~~Other Long-term Obligations~~other long-term obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2012.

As a result of the use of these derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. CTS’ established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties.

CTS reportable segments are grouped by entities that exhibit similar economic characteristics and the segment’s reporting results are regularly reviewed by CTS’ chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to these segments and to evaluate ~~the~~each segment’s performance. CTS has two reportable segments: 1) Components and Sensors and 2) Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”).

Components and sensors are products which perform specific electronic functions for a given product family and are intended for use in customer assemblies. Components and sensors consist principally of: automotive sensors and actuators used in commercial or consumer vehicles; electronic components used in communications infrastructure and computer markets; terminators, including ClearONE™ terminators, used in computer and other high speed applications, switches, resistor networks and potentiometers used to serve multiple markets; and fabricated piezo-electric materials and substrates used primarily in medical, computer and industrial markets.

EMS includes the higher level assembly of electronic and mechanical components into a finished subassembly or assembly performed under a contract manufacturing agreement with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) or other contract manufacturer. Additionally for some customers, CTS provides full turnkey manufacturing and completion including design, bill-of-material management, logistics, and repair.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s ~~annual report~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Management evaluates performance based upon segment operating earnings/(loss) before restructuring and impairment charge, interest expense, interest income, other non-operating income/(expense), and income tax expense.

Certain processes in the manufacture of CTS’ current and past products create hazardous waste by-products as currently defined by federal and state laws and regulations. CTS has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

state environmental agencies and, in some cases, generator groups, that it is or may be a potentially responsible party regarding hazardous waste remediation at several non-CTS sites. In addition to these non-CTS sites, CTS has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its manufacturing locations and for claims and proceedings against CTS with respect to other environmental matters. In the opinion of management, based upon presently available information relating to all such matters, either adequate provision for probable costs has been made, or the ultimate costs resulting will not materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of CTS.

CTS manufactures accelerator pedals for a number of automobile manufacturers, including subsidiaries of Toyota Motor Corporation (“Toyota”). In January 2010, Toyota initiated a recall of a substantial number of vehicles in North America containing pedals manufactured by CTS. The pedal recall and associated events have led to the Company being named as a co-defendant with Toyota in certain litigation. In February 2010, CTS entered into an agreement with Toyota whereby Toyota agreed that it will indemnify, defend, and hold the Company harmless from, and the parties will cooperate in the defense of, third-party civil claims and actions that are filed or asserted in the United States or Canada and that arise from or relate to alleged incidents of unintended acceleration of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The limited exceptions to indemnification restrict CTS’ share of any liability to amounts collectable from its insurers.

Certain other claims are pending against CTS with respect to matters arising out of the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business. ~~These~~With respect to these claims, in the opinion of management, based upon past experience and presently available information, either adequate provision for anticipated costs has been reserved or the ultimate anticipated costs will not materially affect CTS’ consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

During the second quarter of 2011, a fire occurred at the Company’s Scotland EMS manufacturing facility. The fire damaged approximately $1.6 million of inventory and $0.2 million of machinery and equipment at net book value. Property insurance coverage with a $0.1 million deductible had substantially covered the costs of repairing and/or replacing the damaged inventory and machinery and equipment. Business interruption insurance had substantially covered the lost sales impact and related fixed costs in 2011.

During the second quarter of 2012, CTS recorded a recovery of approximately $0.2 million for business interruption in CTS’ Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended July 1, 2012. This recovery reflects the final settlement with CTS’ insurance carrier.

In the first ~~half~~nine months of 2012, CTS recovered approximately $1.0 million from the Company’s insurance carriers and recorded a recovery of approximately $0.9 million for business interruption, after deducting approximately $0.1 million for certain expenses, in CTS’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Earnings~~Earnings/(Loss) for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. These recoveries reflect the final settlement with CTS’ insurance carrier.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, CTS’ Thailand EMS manufacturing facility was flooded. The flood damaged approximately $0.8 million of inventory and $0.5 million of fixed assets. CTS also incurred approximately $2.5 million of fixed costs at this facility. Local property insurance covered the costs of repairing and/or replacing the damaged inventory and machinery and equipment. CTS also had business interruption insurance under these policies that covers the lost sales impact and fixed costs. The maximum amount covered under the local insurance policy was approximately $2.4 million. CTS also had a secondary global insurance policy that covered costs not covered by the local policy for up to approximately $25 million with a deductible of $250,000.

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012, CTS received cash of approximately ~~$7.5~~$4.2 million from ~~the Company’s~~its insurance carriers. ~~Out~~All of the ~~$7.5 million cash, approximately $7.2 million was~~proceeds received were for business interruption and ~~the remaining $0.3~~accordingly, CTS recorded a recovery of $4.2 million ~~was~~for business interruption for the ~~reimbursement~~quarter ended September 30, 2012 in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~costs related to inventory.~~Earnings/(Loss).

In the first ~~half~~nine months of 2012, CTS received cash of approximately ~~$14.7~~$18.9 million from ~~the Company’s~~its insurance carriers. Out of the ~~$14.7~~$18.9 million, ~~cash,~~ approximately ~~$11.6~~$15.8 million was for business interruption and the remaining $3.1 million was for the reimbursement of costs related to property damage. Part of the cash received was to relieve the insurance receivable balance of $2.4 million recorded at December 31, 2011.

Accordingly, CTS recorded a recovery of approximately ~~$10.2~~$14.4 million for business interruption and $1.8 million for property damage in CTS’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Earnings~~Earnings/(Loss) for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. ~~All claims were settled~~CTS continued to process the insurance claim related to the flood for increased expenses and lost sales impact, with a final settlement in ~~2012 with CTS’ insurance carrier.~~fourth quarter of 2012.

This was considered a triggering event and the ~~company~~Company performed an impairment analysis for the impacted intangibles and long-lived assets. The resulting intangible impairment loss related to customer based intangibles in the Components and Sensors segment. The fair value of these assets were measured and recorded using an income approach. Projected future cash flows related to these assets were used under this approach to determine their fair values. CTS recorded an impairment charge of approximately ~~$3,053,000~~$3,159,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013. The impairment charge was recorded under “Restructuring and Impairment Charge” on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Earnings.~~Earnings/(Loss).

The fair value of CTS’ interest rate swaps were measured using a market approach which uses current industry information. There is a readily determinable market and these swaps are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ~~$334,000~~$390,000 of the fair value of these swaps is classified as a current liability and the remaining ~~$341,000~~$633,000 is classified as a non-current liability on CTS’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CTS’ long-term debt consists of a revolving debt facility. There is a readily determinable market for CTS’ revolving credit debt and it is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the market is not deemed to be active. The fair value of long-term debt was measured using a market approach which uses current industry information and approximates carrying value.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted ~~(loss)~~earnings / ~~earnings~~(loss) per share (“EPS”) computations. Basic ~~(loss) / earnings per share~~EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as the denominator and net earnings as the numerator. Diluted ~~(loss) / earnings per share~~EPS is calculated by adding all potentially dilutive shares to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the ~~numerator.~~denominator.

The effective tax rate for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 was ~~1,546.8%~~34.4% and ~~319.3%~~106.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012 was ~~26.9%~~20.1% and ~~18.0%~~19.1%, respectively. The income tax expense for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 was ~~$12.1~~$3.6 million and ~~$11.3~~$14.9 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012 was ~~$1.2~~$1.5 million and ~~$1.2~~$2.7 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 includes ~~in both the three and six month amounts~~ a discrete period tax expense of $10.8 million related to cash ~~repatriation.~~repatriation that was recorded during the second quarter of 2013.

CTS does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently reinvested. The repatriation to the U.S. of approximately $30 million during the second quarter of 2013 resulted from a reduction in the amount of earnings required to remain permanently reinvested in Singapore that was made possible by the June 2013 restructuring plan. No deferred income taxes had been previously recorded for unremitted earnings from Singapore due to previous conclusions that the earnings were permanently reinvested. All other foreign subsidiary earnings remain permanently reinvested.

On October 2, 2013, CTS sold its EMS business to Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (“Benchmark”) for $75 million in cash. Included are five manufacturing facilities located in Moorpark, CA, Londonderry, NH, Bangkok, Thailand, Matamoros, Mexico, and San Jose, CA and approximately 1,000 employees. The transaction sharpens CTS’ focus on its Components and Sensors business, and provides additional capital to drive growth and enhance shareholder value. The gain/loss on the sale has not yet been finalized. Management expects the gain/loss amount to be determined in the fourth quarter of 2013 and will be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The unaudited condensed pro forma balance sheet of EMS and CTS excluding EMS as of September 29, 2013, assuming that the disposition of the EMS business had occurred as of that date, is provided as follows:

ASU ~~2013-07,~~2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of ~~Financial Statements – Liquidation Basis of Accounting~~an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists””

In ~~April~~July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ~~2013-07, “Presentation~~2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of ~~Financial Statements – Liquidation Basis of Accounting,~~an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which ~~contains~~provides guidance on ~~applying the liquidation basis~~financial statement presentation of ~~accounting and the related disclosure requirements.~~an unrecognized tax benefit (UTB) when an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. Under ~~the~~this ASU, an entity ~~must use~~with an unrecognized tax benefit that is ‘not available’ or not intended to be used at the ~~liquidation basis of accounting~~reporting date to present ~~its financial statements when it determines~~the unrecognized tax benefit as a liability that ~~liquidation is imminent, unless~~should not be combined with deferred tax assets. Otherwise, the ~~liquidation is~~unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction to the same as that under the plan specified in an entity’s governing documents created at its inception. Liquidation is imminent when the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The amendments require financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting to present relevant information about an entity’s expected resources in liquidation by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation.related deferred tax asset. These amendments are effective for public entities ~~that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods~~for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim ~~reporting~~ periods ~~therein. Entities~~within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should ~~apply the requirements~~be applied prospectively, ~~from the day that liquidation becomes imminent.~~although retroactive application is permitted. The provisions of ASU ~~2013-07~~2013-11 are not expected to have a material impact on CTS’ consolidated financial statements.

~~ASU 2013-10, “~~~~Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes~~”

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes,” which permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (Overnight Interest Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to UST and LIBOR. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. These amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not expect these provisions to have a material impact on CTS’ financial statements.

Net sales in the Components and Sensors segment increased ~~$28.6~~$28.1 million, or ~~37.2%~~37.1%, from the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a ~~$20.4~~$24.3 million increase in sales to automotive markets due to incremental sales of ~~$13.2~~$11.8 million from the acquisition of D&R Technology, ~~and~~ sales of ~~$6.5~~$5.9 million from the recently-launched smart actuator ~~product.~~product, and a sales increase of $5.0 million in accelerator pedals. Sales of electronic components increased ~~$8.2~~$3.8 million, or ~~27.8%~~12.0%, driven by higher sales of ~~$7.2~~$1.9 million of piezoceramic products mainly for hard disk drive applications.

The Components and Sensors segment recorded operating earnings of ~~$11.4~~$10.2 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013 versus ~~$5.4~~$5.3 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012. The favorable earnings change resulted primarily from higher sales, including the D&R Technology acquisition.

Net sales in the EMS segment decreased ~~$31.3~~$5.9 million, or ~~40.4%~~9.5%, in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013 from the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to ~~the~~ uncertain global economic conditions and our decision to exit certain ~~customers last year.~~customer relationships during 2012. The lower net sales by market were ~~$10.1~~$3.6 million in the industrial market, ~~$9.7~~$4.0 million in the communications market, ~~$8.1 million in the defense and aerospace market, $3.2 million in the medical market and $0.2 million~~partially offset by increases in the computer ~~market.~~and medical markets.

EMS segment operating ~~loss was $1.5~~earnings were $1.0 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013 versus operating earnings of ~~$4.2~~$2.4 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012. The unfavorable earnings change was primarily due to lower sales and the timing of insurance recoveries related to the flood at our Thailand facility. In the second quarter of 2012, we had approximately $5.0 million of expenses and losses primarily related to the flood at our Thailand facility while we recorded $7.4 million of insurance recoveries related to business interruption.

The increase in gross margin resulted primarily from favorable segment mix as the Components and Sensors segment percent of total sales increased to ~~69.5%~~64.9% of consolidated sales from ~~49.8%~~55.0% in the same period of ~~2012 and the second quarter 2012 expenses and lost margin of approximately $5.0 million related to the flood at our Thailand facility.~~2012.

Insurance recovery for business interruption primarily due to the flood at our Thailand facility totaled ~~$7.4~~$4.2 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012. This recovery partially offsets related expenses ~~and losses~~ that negatively impacted our gross margin. There were no insurance recoveries for business interruption in the ~~second~~third quarter 2013 as all recoveries were completed in 2012.

SG&A expenses were ~~$20.7~~$20.8 million, or ~~13.7%~~13.0% of net sales, in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013 versus $19.4 million, or ~~12.6%~~14.1% of net sales in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012.

Net sales of ~~$301.1~~$460.6 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 ~~were essentially unchanged~~increased $22.0 million, or 5.0%, from the first ~~six~~nine months of ~~2012. Higher~~2012 attributable to higher Components and Sensors segment net sales of ~~$50.2~~$78.3 million, ~~were~~partially offset by lower EMS segment net sales of ~~$50.4~~$56.3 million.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales was ~~22.1%~~22.6% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 compared to ~~15.9%~~17.0% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012. The increase in gross margin primarily resulted from favorable segment mix as the Components and Sensors segment percent of total sales increased to ~~67.6%~~66.7% of consolidated sales from ~~50.9%~~52.2% in the same period of ~~2012 and the first six months 2012 expenses and lost margin of approximately $11.3 million related to the flood at our Thailand facility and the fire at our Scotland facility.~~2012.

SG&A expenses were ~~$42.2~~$62.9 million, or ~~14.0%~~13.7% of net sales, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 versus ~~$38.8~~$58.2 million, or ~~12.9%~~13.3% of net sales, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to the acquisition of D&R Technology and CEO transition costs.

R&D expenses were ~~$12.0~~$17.7 million, or ~~4.0%~~3.9% of net sales, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 versus ~~$11.2~~$15.6 million, or ~~3.7%~~3.6% of net sales, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily driven by spending to develop and launch new products and growth initiatives. R&D expenses are incurred by the Components and Sensors segment and are primarily focused on expanded applications of existing products and new product development, as well as current product and process enhancements.

Operating earnings were ~~$4.7~~$14.8 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013, including restructuring and related charges of ~~$8.9~~$10.0 million, compared to ~~$7.6~~$14.4 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012 which included restructuring and related charges of ~~$3.8~~$4.7 million.

Interest and other expense in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 was ~~$1.1~~$0.8 million versus ~~$0.8~~$0.2 million in the same period of 2012 due to higher interest expense on higher debt balances, partially offset by ~~lower~~higher foreign exchange ~~losses.~~gains.

The effective tax rate for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 was ~~319.3%~~106.8% compared to ~~18.0%~~19.1% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012. The increase in tax rate was primarily due to the second quarter 2013 tax expense of $10.8 million on the $30 million cash repatriation from Singapore to the U.S. as a result of the Singapore restructuring and tax expense of $1.0 million for write-off of deferred tax assets in the ~~U.K~~U.K. related to restructuring.

Net losses were ~~$7.8~~$0.9 million, or ~~$0.23~~$0.03 per share, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 compared with net earnings of ~~$5.6~~$11.5 million, or ~~$0.16~~$0.33 per diluted share, in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012.

During the second quarter of 2011, a fire occurred at our Scotland EMS manufacturing facility. The fire damaged approximately $1.6 million of inventory and $0.2 million of machinery and equipment at net book value. Property insurance coverage with a $0.1 million deductible has substantially covered the costs of repairing and/or replacing the damaged inventory and machinery and equipment. Business interruption insurance had substantially covered the lost sales impact and related fixed costs in 2011.

During the second quarter of 2012 we recorded a recovery of approximately $0.2 million for business interruption in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended July 1, 2012. This recovery reflects the final settlement with our insurance carrier.

In the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012, we recovered approximately $1.0 million from our insurance ~~carrier~~carriers and recorded a recovery of approximately $0.9 million for business interruption, after deducting approximately $0.1 million for certain expenses, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Earnings~~Earnings/(Loss) for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. ~~All claims were settled in 2012~~These recoveries reflect the final settlement with our insurance carrier.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, our Thailand EMS manufacturing facility was flooded. ~~Based on preliminary estimates, the~~The flood damaged approximately $0.8 million of inventory and $0.5 million of fixed ~~assets at net book value.~~assets. We also incurred approximately $2.5 million of fixed costs at this facility. Local ~~and global~~ property insurance ~~coverage~~ covered the costs of repairing and/or replacing the damaged inventory and machinery and equipment. We also ~~have~~had business interruption insurance under these policies that cover the lost sales impact and fixed costs. The maximum amount covered under the local insurance policy was approximately $2.4 million. We also had a secondary global insurance policy that covered costs not covered by the local policy for up to approximately $25 million with a deductible of $250,000.

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2012, we received cash of approximately ~~$7.5~~$4.2 million from our insurance carrier. All of the proceeds received were for business interruption and, accordingly, we recorded a recovery of $4.2 million for business interruption for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings/(Loss).

In the first nine months of 2012, we received cash of approximately $18.9 million from our insurance carrier. Out of the ~~$7.5~~$18.9 million, ~~cash,~~ approximately ~~$7.2 million was for business interruption and the remaining $0.3 million was for the reimbursement of costs related to inventory.~~

~~In the first six months of 2012, we received cash of approximately $14.7 million from our insurance carrier. Out of the $14.7 million cash, approximately $11.6~~$15.8 million was for business interruption and the remaining $3.1 million was for the reimbursement of costs related to property damage. Part of the cash received was to relieve the insurance receivable balance of $2.4 million recorded at December 31, 2011.

WeAccordingly, we recorded a recovery of approximately ~~$10.2~~$14.4 million for business interruption and $1.8 million for property damage in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Earnings~~Earnings/(Loss) for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. All claims were settled in 2012 with our insurance carrier.

While our Components and Sensors segment is experiencing strong growth in 2013, the EMS segment has been negatively impacted by the uncertain global macro economic environment. As a result, management is lowering its full-yearFull-year 2013 sales ~~guidance~~are expected to ~~a 6%-8% increase over 2012, from previous guidance of the low end of a sales increase of 12% to 15% over 2012. The restructuring savings and other efficiencies~~be in the ~~balance~~range of $555 million to $560 million reflecting the October 2, 2013 ~~essentially offset~~EMS divestiture. We are maintaining the ~~impact of the EMS sales decline; therefore, management is maintaining~~2013 adjusted earnings per share ~~in 2013~~guidance in the range of $0.78 to $0.83 per share. ~~The adjusted earnings exclude tax expense on cash repatriation, taxes on a write-off of deferred tax assets related to the U.K., restructuring and related charges and CEO transition costs.~~

The following table provides a reconciliation of estimated full-year 2013 diluted earnings per share to full-year 2013 adjusted earnings per share:

Adjusted earnings per share is a term not recognized by ~~Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“~~U.S. ~~GAAP”).~~GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per share. We calculate adjusted earnings per share to exclude restructuring and restructuring-related charge.

We use the adjusted earnings per share measure to evaluate overall performance, establish plans and perform strategic analyses. We believe using adjusted earnings per share avoids distortion in the evaluation of operating results by eliminating the impact of events that are not related to operating performance. These measures are based on the exclusion of specific items, and, as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies that have similar titles. Our management compensates for this limitation when performing peer company comparisons by evaluating both U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures reported by peer companies. We believe that adjusted earnings per share is useful to our management, investors and stakeholders in that it:

We recommend that investors and stakeholders consider both diluted earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share ~~which are both GAAP and non-GAAP measures~~ in evaluating our performance with peer companies.

Cash and cash equivalents were ~~$86.0~~$96.7 million at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and $109.6 million at December 31, 2012. Total debt on ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 was ~~$129.5~~$128.6 million compared to $153.5 million at December 31, 2012, as we ~~decreased~~paid down the debt from cash repatriated from a foreign operation. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was ~~33.1%~~32.3% at the end of the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013, compared with 36.4% at December 31, 2012. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization is defined as the sum of notes payable and long-term debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholders’ equity.

As of September 29, 2013, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries was $95.5 million. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S. and our current plans do not require us to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations, which have we believe have sufficient liquidity. Any repatriation may not result in significant cash income tax payments as the taxable event would likely be offset by the utilization of the then available net operating losses and tax credits.

Working capital decreased by ~~$17.7~~$8.2 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2013 versus year-end 2012, primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of ~~$23.5~~$12.8 million, ~~and~~ an increase in accounts payable of ~~$2.7~~$3.5 million, and an increase in other accrued liabilities of $3.2 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable, net of ~~$4.6~~$7.5 million, and an increase in inventories of ~~$3.4 million, a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $0.3~~$2.9 million, and an increase in other current assets of ~~$0.3~~$1.0 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$10.2~~$25.5 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013. Components of net cash provided by operating activities included net loss of ~~$7.8~~$0.9 million, depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$11.4~~$16.7 million, restructuring and asset impairment charges of ~~$7.8~~$8.8 million and add-backs of other non-cash items such as equity-based compensation and amortization of retirement benefit totaling ~~$6.8~~$9.6 million, which were partially offset by net changes in assets and liabilities of ~~$7.3~~$6.2 million and an increase in prepaid pension asset of ~~$0.7~~$2.4 million. The changes in assets and liabilities were primarily due to increased accounts receivable of ~~$5.3~~$7.6 million, inventories of ~~$3.8~~$3.0 million, other current assets ~~$0.6 million, and decreased accounts payable of $3.2~~$0.4 million, partially offset by ~~an increase~~a decrease in other assets and liabilities of ~~$5.7 million.~~$4.8 million, which includes a $10.8 million non-cash deferred tax asset decrease and a $3.7 million increase in pension liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$12.0~~$25.0 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012. Components of net cash provided by operating activities included net earnings of ~~$5.6~~$11.5 million, depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$9.6~~$14.6 million, restructuring and asset impairment charges of ~~$3.1~~$3.4 million and ~~add-backs of~~ other non-cash items such as equity-based compensation, amortization of retirement benefit and net insurance recovery totaling ~~$6.1~~$9.1 million, which were partially offset by net changes in assets and liabilities of ~~$9.1~~$8.4 million and an increase in the prepaid pension asset of ~~$3.4~~$5.1 million. The changes in assets and liabilities were primarily due to decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities of ~~$24.0~~$38.2 million partially offset by decreased inventories of ~~$15.3~~$19.5 million and decreased accounts receivable of $10.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2013 was ~~$8.2~~$10.3 million primarily for capital expenditures of ~~$8.4~~$10.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from sale of fixed assets of $0.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2012 was ~~$21.8~~$24.6 million primarily for the Valpey-Fisher acquisition of $14.7 million, net of cash acquired, capital expenditures of ~~$6.9~~$9.8 million, and capital expenditures to replace casualty-damaged property ~~damaged by casualty~~ of $2.9 million partially offset by insurance proceeds for casualty-damaged property ~~damage due to casualty~~ of $2.3 million.

Net cash used by financing activities for the ~~six~~first nine months of 2013 was ~~$25.8~~$28.4 million, consisting primarily of a net decrease in long-term debt of ~~$24.0~~$24.9 million, ~~$2.3~~$3.5 million in dividend payments and ~~$1.5~~$2.2 million in ~~Treasury~~repurchases of our common stock, ~~purchases,~~ partially offset by stock issuance of ~~$2.1~~$2.2 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months of 2012 was ~~$16.2~~$11.8 million, consisting primarily of a net increase in long-term debt of ~~$22.6~~$20.1 million, offset by ~~$5.6~~$6.6 million in ~~Treasury~~treasury stock purchases and ~~$2.4~~$3.6 million in dividend payments. The additional debt was primarily used to fund the Valpey-Fisher acquisition and to meet usual working capital ~~requirements and to fund the Valpey-Fisher acquisition.~~requirements.

On January 10, 2012, we amended our November 18, 2010 unsecured revolving credit facility. This amendment provided for an increase in the revolving credit facility to $200 million and increased the accordion feature, whereby we can expand the facility to $300 million, subject to participating banks’ approval. ~~Additionally, among other~~In addition to changes to certain covenants, the amendment reduced the applicable margin by 25 basis points, increased the total consideration we may pay for non-U.S. based acquisitions, and extended the term of the credit facility through January 10, 2017.

Revolving credit facility, weighted-average interest rate of 1.9% (2013), and 1.8% (2012) due in 2017					$	128,600	$	153,500

There was ~~$129.5~~$128.6 million outstanding under the $200 million revolving credit facility at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, and $153.5 million at December 31, 2012. We had ~~$67.9~~$68.8 million available under the $200 million credit facility, ~~at June 30, 2013,~~ net of standby letters of credit of $2.6 million at September 29, 2013, and $43.9 million, ~~available at December 31, 2012,~~ net of standby letters of credit of $2.6 ~~million.~~million at December 31, 2012. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility fluctuate based upon London Interbank Offered Rate and our quarterly total leverage ratio. We pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee varies based on the quarterly leverage ratio and was ~~0.40~~0.30 percent and 0.30 percent per annum at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 and ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012, respectively. The revolving credit facility requires, among other things, that we comply with a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Our failure to comply with these covenants could reduce the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all debt covenants at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013. The revolving credit facility requires us to deliver quarterly financial statements, annual financial statements, auditors certifications and compliance certificates within a specified number of days after the end of a quarter and year. Additionally, the revolving facility contains restrictions limiting our ability to: dispose of assets; incur certain additional debt; repay other debt or amend subordinated debt instruments; create liens on assets; make investments, loans or advances; make acquisitions or engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in certain transactions with our subsidiaries and affiliates; and make stock repurchases and dividend payments.

We use interest rate swaps to convert the line of credit’s variable rate of interest into a fixed rate. In the second quarter of 2012, we entered into four separate interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on $50 million of long-term debt for the periods January 2013 to January 2017. In the third quarter of 2012, we entered into four separate interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on $25 million of long-term debt for the periods January 2013 to January 2017. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the swap agreements will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related line of credit when settled.

These swaps are treated as cash flow hedges and consequently, the changes in fair value were recorded in ~~Other Comprehensive Income.~~other comprehensive earnings. An unrealized loss of approximately $428,000 and an unrealized gain of approximately ~~$765,000 and $801,000~~$373,000 was recorded in ~~Other Comprehensive Income~~other comprehensive earnings for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, respectively. An unrealized loss of approximately ~~$832,000~~$715,000 and $1,547,000 was recorded in ~~Other Comprehensive Income~~other comprehensive earnings for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. We also reclassed approximately ~~$78,000~~$81,000 and ~~$155,000~~$236,000 of realized loss out of other comprehensive ~~income~~earnings to interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013, respectively. No realized loss was reclassed out of other comprehensive ~~income~~earnings to interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2012. Approximately ~~$334,000~~$390,000 was recorded as accrued liabilities and ~~$341,000~~$633,000 recorded as a non-current liability in other long-term obligations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013. Approximately $271,000 was recorded as accrued liabilities and $1,336,000 recorded as a non-current liability in ~~Other Long-term Obligations~~other long-term obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2012.

As a result of the use of these derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we have a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. WeOur established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties.

In August 2012, ~~CTS’~~our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to one million shares of ~~its~~our common stock in the open market at a maximum price of $13 per share. In August 2013, our Board of Directors amended the August 2012 share repurchase program by removing the provision that the price per share have a maximum price of $13. The authorization has no expiration. Reacquired shares ~~will~~are expected to be used to support equity-based compensation programs and for other corporate purposes.

During the first ~~half~~nine months of 2013, there were no shares ~~were~~ repurchased under this program.

We have historically funded our capital and operating needs primarily through cash flows from operating activities, supported by available credit under our credit agreements. We believe that expected positive cash flows from operating

activities and available borrowings under our current credit agreements will be adequate to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may choose to pursue additional equity and/or debt financing to provide additional liquidity and/or fund acquisitions.

~~ASU 2013-10, “~~~~Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes~~”

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes,” which permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (Overnight Interest Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to UST and LIBOR. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. These amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. We do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on CTS’ financial statements.

There have been no ~~other~~ material changes into our market risk ~~since~~as described in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities ~~and~~ Exchange Act of 1934, management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June 30, 2013, provided that the evaluation did not include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting for the acquired business, as described further below.~~September 29, 2013.

Since the date of acquisition of D&R Technology, our management has not completed an evaluation of the business’s internal controls over financial reporting for the acquired entity, whose results are included in the financial statements and notes filed in this Form 10-Q.

~~Other than the changes resulting from the acquisition described above, there~~There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

We manufacture accelerator pedals for a number of automobile manufacturers, including subsidiaries of Toyota. In January 2010, Toyota initiated a recall of a substantial number of vehicles in North America containing pedals manufactured by CTS. The pedal recall and associated events have led to us being named as a co-defendant with Toyota in certain litigation.

In February 2010, we entered into an agreement with Toyota whereby Toyota agreed that it will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from, and the parties will cooperate in the defense of, certain third-party civil claims and actions that are filed or asserted in the United States or Canada and that arise from or relate to alleged incidents of unintended acceleration of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. If it is determined that CTS acted negligently in selecting materials or processes where we had sole control over the selection process, in failing to meet Toyota’s specifications, or in making unapproved changes in component design or materials, and such negligence caused or contributed to a claim, we will be responsible for any judgment that may be rendered against us individually, or any portion of a judgment that may be allocated to us, but limited only to the extent of insurance collected from our insurers. Toyota would remain responsible to defend CTS in these actions and would remain responsible for any balance of the remaining liability over amounts recovered by insurance. The agreement also does not cover costs or liabilities in connection with government investigations, government hearings, or government recalls.

Presently, we have been served process and named as co-defendant with Toyota in approximately thirty-eight open lawsuits; we have been dismissed as a defendant from an additional thirty-four lawsuits. The claims generally fall into two categories, those that allege sudden unintended acceleration of Toyota vehicles led to injury or death, and those that allege economic harm to owners of Toyota vehicles related to vehicle defects. Some suits combine elements of both. Claims include demands for compensatory and special damages. To date, the only actions filed where we are aware we have been named as a co-defendant are civil actions filed in the Unites States or Canada. All currently open lawsuits are subject to the indemnification agreement described above. Some of these lawsuits arise out of incidents involving models for which we do not manufacture the pedal, such as all Lexus models, the Toyota Prius, and the Toyota Tacoma, or for which we manufacture only a portion of the pedals, such as the Toyota Camry. Many lawsuits have been consolidated in federal multidistrict litigation in the United States District Court, Southern District of California, though some remain in various other courts.

Certain other claims are pending against us with respect to matters arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. For all other claims, in the opinion of management, based upon presently available information, either adequate provision for anticipated costs have been accrued or the ultimate anticipated costs will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

There have been no ~~significant~~material changes to ~~our~~the risk factors ~~since~~described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes the repurchases of CTS common stock made by the Company during the three-month period ending ~~June 30,~~September 29, 2013:
