(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission’s rules and regulations.The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
(2) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for approximately 70% and 72% of the Company’s inventories at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all other inventories.The Company adjusts its excess and obsolescence reserve at least on a quarterly basis.Excess inventories are quantities of items that exceed anticipated sales or usage for a reasonable period.The Company has guidelines for calculating provisions for excess inventories based on the number of months of inventories on hand compared to anticipated sales or usage.Management uses its judgment to forecast sales or usage and to determine what constitutes a reasonable period.Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead.Inventories consist of the following:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 21,926 | $ | 32,981 | ||||

Inventories, net | $ | 43,683 | $ | 54,800 |
(3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver, or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument.The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.The estimated fair value of the Company’s senior notes (fixed rate debt) at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, per quoted market sources, was $146.4 million and $124.4 million, respectively.The carrying value was $183.0 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which expands the quarterly and annual disclosure requirements about the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We make use of derivative instruments in foreign exchange and commodity price hedging programs.Derivatives currently in use are foreign currency forward contracts and commodity swaps.These contracts are used strictly for hedging and not for speculative purposes.They are used to mitigate uncertainty and volatility and to cover underlying exposures.Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest.The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
The Company conducts business internationally and therefore is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.The Company uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions and other foreign currency exposures.The currencies hedged by the Company include the British pound and Mexican peso.In certain instances, the foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other expense (income), net.The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts substantially offset gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency denominated transactions.As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company held foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the exposure related to the Company’s British pound-denominated intercompany receivables.These contracts expire in September 2009.For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a $191 loss related to the British pound contract in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other expense (income), net.The Company also holds contracts intended to reduce exposure to the Mexican peso.These contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions, and therefore the contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.These Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency option contracts expire monthly throughout 2009.The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.The Company’s expectation is that the cash flow hedges will be highly effective in the future.The effectiveness of the transactions has been and will be measured on an ongoing basis using regression analysis.
To mitigate the risk of future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, the Company has entered into fixed price commodity swaps with a financial institution to fix the cost of copper purchases. In December 2007, the Company entered into a fixed price swap contract for 1.0 million pounds of copper, which expired on December 31, 2008.In September 2008, the Company entered into a fixed price swap contract for 1.4 million pounds of copper, which covers the period from January 2009 to December 2009.Because these contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions, the contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.The unrealized gain or loss for the effective portion of the hedge is deferred and reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company deems these cash flow hedges to be highly effective.The effectiveness of the transactions has been and will be measured on an ongoing basis using regression analysis.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis.The Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities on January 1, 2008.SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s fair value measurements.
The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

Credit Facility
On November 2, 2007, the Company entered into an asset-based credit facility (the “credit facility”), which permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $100.0 million.At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no borrowings on this credit facility. The available borrowing capacity on this credit facility is based on eligible current assets, as defined.At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had borrowing capacity of $45.5 million and $57.7 million, respectively based on eligible current assets.The credit facility does not contain financial performance covenants which would constrain our borrowing capacity. However, restrictions do include limits on capital expenditures, operating leases, dividends and investment activities in a negative covenant which limits investment activities to $15.0 million minus certain guarantees and obligations.The credit facility expires on November 1, 2011, and requires a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused balance.Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the higher of the prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon the Company’s undrawn availability, as defined.The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
(7) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period.Diluted net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented.For all periods in which the Company recognized a net loss the Company has recognized zero dilutive effect from securities as no anti-dilution is permitted under SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.
Actual weighted-average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
June 30, | June 30, | |||||||||||||||
2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | |||||||||||||
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding | 23,515,543 | 23,285,848 | 23,489,561 | 23,327,024 | ||||||||||||

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding | 23,515,543 | 23,689,836 | 23,489,561 | 23,721,817 |
Options not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share to purchase 183,250 and 50,000 Common Shares at an average price of $9.57 and $15.73, respectively, per share were outstanding at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.These outstanding options were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their respective exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Common Shares.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, 628,275 performance-based restricted shares were outstanding.These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because not all vesting conditions were achieved as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.These shares may or may not become dilutive based on the Company’s ability to exceed future earnings thresholds.
(8) Restructuring
On October 29, 2007, the Company announced restructuring initiatives to improve manufacturing efficiency and cost position by ceasing manufacturing operations at its Sarasota, Florida and Mitcheldean, United Kingdom locations.In the third quarter of 2008, the Company announced restructuring initiatives in our Canton, Massachusetts location. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company announced restructuring initiatives in our Orebro, Sweden and Tallinn, Estonia locations as well as additional initiatives in our Canton, Massachusetts location.In response to the depressed conditions in the North American and European commercial vehicle and automotive markets, the Company began additional restructuring initiatives in our Juarez, Mexico, Tallinn, Estonia and Canton, Massachusetts locations during the first quarter of 2009.The Company began additional restructuring initiatives during the second quarter of 2009 in our Lexington, Ohio, Orebro and Bromma, Sweden and Juarez and Monclova, Mexico locations as a result of decline in the North American and European commercial vehicle and automotive market conditions.In connection with these initiatives, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,551 and $3,657 in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.Restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2,532 and $6,177, respectively.Restructuring expenses that were general and administrative in nature were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as part of restructuring charges, while the remaining restructuring related charges were included in cost of goods sold.
In 2009, the Company has classified the Sarasota, Florida facility as an asset held for sale and has included the net book value of the facility within the June 30, 2009 Balance Sheet as a component of prepaid expense and other.

All restructuring charges, except for asset-related charges, result in cash outflows. Severance costs relate to a reduction in workforce.Contract termination costs represent costs associated with long-term lease obligations that were cancelled as part of the restructuring initiatives.Other associated costs include premium direct labor, inventory and equipment move costs, relocation expense, increased inventory carrying cost and miscellaneous expenditures associated with exiting business activities.No fixed-asset impairment charges were incurred because assets are being transferred to other locations for continued production.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, workers’ compensation disputes and other commercial matters. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.
Product Warranty and Recall
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates.These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations.The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers.

The Company expects to contribute $94 to its pension plan in 2009.Of this amount, contributions of $53 have been made to the pension plan as of June 30, 2009.
Effective June 1, 2009 the Company discontinued matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees in the United States.
(11) Income Taxes
The Company recognized a provision from income taxes of $197, or (1.0)% of pre-tax loss, and $4,062, or 46.4% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.The Company recognized a provision (benefit) for income taxes of $(1,911), or 5.7% of pre-tax loss, and $9,174, or 45.0% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As reported at December 31, 2008, the Company is in a cumulative loss position and provides a valuation allowance offsetting federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets. As a result, a tax benefit is not being provided for losses incurred in the first half of 2009, for federal, state and certain foreign jurisdictions. The inability to recognize a tax benefit for these losses and other deferred tax assets has a significant impact on our effective tax rate as well as the comparability of the current quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate to prior periods in which the Company had not recorded a federal valuation allowance.The difference in the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred tax assets provided against the current year domestic loss which was partially offset by recording a tax benefit related to current period losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it is more likely than not that the benefit of those losses will be realized in the current year.

(12) Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”).This standard improves reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations.Additionally, SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.SFAS 141(R) was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”).This standard improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way.Additionally, SFAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions.SFAS 160 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (“FSP 132(R)-1”).FSP 132(R)-1 requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets.FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for the Company beginning with its year ending December 31, 2009.The Company is currently assessing the potential effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 amends various provisions of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125, by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51, (“FIN 46(R)”)to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. SFAS 166 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management does not currently expect SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R), to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management does not currently expect SFAS 167 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for the Company for the period ending September 30, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
(13) Segment Reporting
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the president and chief executive officer.
The Company has two reportable segments: Electronics and Control Devices. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated based on sharing similar economic characteristics. Other aggregation factors include the nature of the products offered and management and oversight responsibilities. The Electronics reportable segment produces electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment produces electronic and electromechanical switches and control actuation devices and sensors.
The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s December 31, 2008 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on net sales from external customers, capital expenditures and income (loss) before income taxes. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The following Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
We are an independent designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic components, modules and systems for the medium- and heavy-duty truck, agricultural, automotive and off-highway vehicle markets.
We recognized a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $19.8 million, or $(0.84) per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008.
Our second quarter 2009 results were negatively affected by the continued dramatic decline in the global commercial and North American automotive vehicle markets as well as the economy as a whole. Production volumes in North American passenger car/light truck declined by 49.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The commercial vehicle market production volumes in Europe and North America declined by 70.0% and 50.3%, respectively during the current quarter. In addition, our results were affected by foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign exchange translation adversely affected our revenues by approximately $5.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. In addition, the results of our PST Eletrônica S.A. (“PST”) joint venture in Brazil declined between the two periods. Equity earnings in the joint venture declined from $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to lower demand for PST’s security products. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively affected our equity earnings from PST by approximately $0.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was primarily due to decreased design and development and reduced compensation and compensation related expenses incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in design and development costs were caused by customers delaying new product launches in the near term as well as planned reductions in our design activities.
Also affecting our results were our restructuring initiatives. Costs incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 related to these restructuring initiatives amounted to approximately $1.6 million and were primarily comprised of one-time termination benefits. These restructuring actions were in response to the depressed conditions in the North American and European commercial vehicle and North American light vehicle markets. Second quarter 2008 restructuring expenses were approximately $3.7 million and were comprised of one-time termination benefits and line-transfer expenses related to our initiative to improve the Company’s manufacturing efficiency and cost position by ceasing manufacturing operations at our Sarasota, Florida, and Mitcheldean, United Kingdom locations.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we maintained a cash and equivalents balance of $85.5 million and $92.7 million, respectively. As discussed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have no borrowings under our asset-based credit facility. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had borrowing capacity of $45.5 million and $57.7 million, respectively.
Significant factors inherent to our markets that could affect our results for the remainder of 2009 include the financial stability of our customers and suppliers. Our results for 2009 also depend on conditions in the commercial and automotive vehicle markets, which are generally dependent on domestic and global economies.
On April 24, 2009, we entered into the United State Treasury’s Auto Supplier Program (the “Program”). Entrance into the Program was retroactive to March 18, 2009. As part of entrance into the Program, we were required to amend our credit facility, to allow us to sell certain accounts receivables due from General Motors Corporation (“GM”) or Chrysler, LLC (“Chrysler”) to GM Supplier Receivables LLC and Chrysler Receivables SPV LLC, respectively, special purpose entities created by the United States Treasury Department. The Program guarantees these receivables, net of a two percent administrative fee imposed on the receivables included in the Program. As a result of GM and Chrysler exiting bankruptcy, we opted out of the GM Program on June 25, 2009 and the Chrysler Program was terminated upon their exit from bankruptcy.

Results of Operations
We are primarily organized by markets served and products produced. Under this organizational structure, our operations have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Electronics and Control Devices. The Electronics reportable segment includes results of operations that design and manufacture electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment includes results of operations from our operations that design and manufacture electronic and electromechanical switches, control actuation devices and sensors.

Net Sales. Net sales for our reportable segments, excluding inter-segment sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

The decrease in net sales for our Electronics segment was primarily due to volume declines in North American and European commercial vehicle production. Our net sales were negatively affected by foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $5.1 million between the two periods.
The decrease in net sales for our Control Devices segment was primarily attributable to production volume reductions at our major customers in the North American light vehicle market.

Our decrease in sales outside North America was primarily due to lower sales volume in the European commercial vehicle market and adverse foreign exchange rate movements.

Cost of Goods Sold. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was due to the significant decline in volume and a less favorable product mix related to our European commercial vehicle and North American commercial and light vehicle products during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Product development expenses included in SG&A were $9.5 million and $13.3 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in design and development costs was caused by customers delaying new product launches in the near term as well as planned reductions in our design activities. The decrease in SG&A costs excluding product development expenses was due to lower employee related costs, primarily incentive compensation.
Restructuring Charges. Costs from our restructuring initiatives for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased compared to the second quarter of 2008. Costs incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 related to restructuring initiatives amounted to approximately $1.6 million and were primarily comprised of one-time termination benefits. These restructuring actions were in response to the depressed conditions in the European and North American commercial vehicle markets as well as the North American automotive market. Second quarter 2008 restructuring expenses were approximately $3.7 million and were comprised of one-time termination benefits and line-transfer expenses related to our initiative to improve the Company’s manufacturing efficiency and cost position by ceasing manufacturing operations at our Sarasota, Florida, and Mitcheldean, United Kingdom locations. Restructuring expenses that were general and administrative in nature were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as restructuring charges, while the remaining restructuring related expenses were included in cost of goods sold.

Equity in Earnings of Investees. The decrease in equity earnings of investees was predominately attributable to the decrease in equity earnings recognized from our PST joint venture. Equity earnings for PST declined from $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease primarily reflects lower volumes for PST’s product lines and unfavorable exchange rates during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively affected our equity earnings from PST by approximately $0.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The decrease in income (loss) before income taxes in the Electronics segment was primarily related to decreased revenue within our North American and European commercial vehicle markets and unfavorable product mix. Additionally, these factors were favorably affected by foreign exchange rates during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 when converting functional currency to United States Dollars.
The increase in loss before income taxes in the Control Devices reportable segment was primarily due to lower revenue within our North American light vehicle market.
27
The decrease in income before income taxes from other corporate activities was primarily due to the $2.0 million decrease in equity earnings from our PST joint venture. The decrease is partially offset by a decrease in compensation related expenses and the loss recognized on the purchase and retirement of $6.0 million in face value of our senior notes in the second quarter of 2008.

The decrease in our profitability in North America was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes within our North American commercial and light vehicle markets during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in profitability outside North America was primarily due to lower sales volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recognized a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million, or (1.0)% of pre-tax loss, and $4.1 million, or 46.4% of the pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the second quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As reported at December 31, 2008, the Company is in a cumulative loss position and provides a valuation allowance offsetting federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets. As a result, a tax benefit is not being provided for losses incurred in the first half of 2009, for federal, state and certain foreign jurisdictions. The inability to recognize a tax benefit for these losses and other deferred tax assets has a significant impact on our effective tax rate as well as the comparability of the current quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate to prior periods in which the Company had not recorded a federal valuation allowance. The difference in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to the federal valuation allowance provided against the current year domestic loss which was partially offset by recording a tax benefit related to current period losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it is more likely than not that the benefit of those losses will be realized in the current year.

The decrease in net sales for our Electronics segment was primarily due to volume declines in commercial vehicle production. Our net sales were negatively affected by foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $11.8 million between the two periods.
28
The decrease in net sales for our Control Devices segment was primarily attributable to production volume reductions at our major customers in the North American light vehicle market.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Product development expenses included in SG&A were $18.0 million and $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in design and development costs was caused by customers delaying new product launches in the near term as well as planned reductions in our design activities. The decrease in SG&A costs excluding product development expenses was due to lower employee related costs, primarily incentive compensation.

Equity in Earnings of Investees. The decrease in equity earnings of investees was predominately attributable to the decrease in equity earnings recognized from our PST joint venture. Equity earnings for PST declined from $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease primarily reflects lower volumes for PST’s product lines and unfavorable exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The decrease in income (loss) before income taxes in the Electronics segment was primarily related to decreased revenue from the North American and European commercial vehicle markets, as well as an unfavorable product mix during the six months ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the first six months of 2008. Additionally, these factors were favorably affected by foreign exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2009 when converting functional currency to United States Dollars.
The decrease in income (loss) before income taxes in the Control Devices reportable segment was primarily due to lower revenue within our North American light vehicle market.
The decrease in income before income taxes from other corporate activities was primarily due to the $5.0 million decrease in equity earnings from our PST joint venture and a decrease in compensation related expenses. This was partially offset by the loss recognized on the purchase and retirement of $17.0 million in face value of our senior notes in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The decrease in profitability outside North America was primarily due to lower sales volumes which was offset by favorable foreign exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. We recognized a benefit for income taxes of $1.9 million, or 5.7% of pre-tax loss, and a provision for income taxes of $9.2 million, or 45.0% of the pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower earnings offset by lower accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2009.
The decrease in net cash used for investing activities reflects a decrease in cash used for capital projects and $1.1 million of cash used to acquire a Swedish aftermarket distributor of Stoneridge products in the first quarter of 2008.
The decrease in net cash used by financing activities was due to the cash purchase and retirement of $17.0 million in face value of the Company’s senior notes in the first six months of 2008. There was no similar activity during the first six months of 2009.
Future capital expenditures are expected to be slightly lower than our recent expenditures, due to lower expected demand in the markets that we serve. Our business plan continues to emphasize conserving cash while investing in near-term product launches and selectively investing in longer-term development projects. Management will continue to focus on reducing its weighted average cost of capital and believes that cash flows from operations and the availability of funds from our asset-based credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our future growth and operating needs.
As outlined in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, our asset-based credit facility, permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $100.0 million. At June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings on this asset-based credit facility. The available borrowing capacity on this credit facility is based on eligible current assets, as defined. At June 30, 2009, the Company had borrowing capacity of $45.5 million based on eligible current assets. The credit facility does not contain financial performance covenants which would constrain our borrowing capacity. However, restrictions do include limits on capital expenditures, operating leases, dividends and investment activities in a negative covenant which limits investment activities to $15.0 million minus certain guarantees and obligations. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s $183.0 million of senior notes were redeemable at 101.917 percent of the principal amount. Given that the Company’s senior notes are redeemable, we may seek to retire the senior notes through redemptions, cash purchases, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such redemptions, purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the first half of 2008, we purchased and retired $17.0 million in face value of the Company’s senior notes.
We are currently developing plans to consolidate our control devices business from two business units to one during the third quarter with the intent of further lowering our cost structure. We anticipate that we will announce the projected costs and benefits of this consolidation during the third quarter.
There have been no material changes to the table of contractual obligations presented in Part II, Item 7 (“Liquidity and Capital Resources”) of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies, which include management’s best estimates and judgments, are included in Item 7, Part II to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K. Certain of these accounting policies are considered critical as disclosed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K because of the potential for a significant impact on the financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in such estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2008.
Inflation
Given the current economic climate and recent increases in certain commodity prices, we believe that a continuation of such price increases would significantly affect our profitability. Furthermore, by operating internationally, we are affected by the economic conditions of certain countries. Based on the current economic conditions in these countries, we believe we are not significantly exposed to adverse economic conditions.
