Racine, Wisconsin
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Racine Federated Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Racine Federated Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

RACINE FEDERATED INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Racine Federated Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1970 in the state of Wisconsin and is presently engaged in the manufacture and sale of construction tools and industrial flow meters. The Company’s foreign subsidiary engages in the sale and distribution of hydraulic and filtration products within Europe. The Company grants credit on sales of its products to domestic and foreign customers. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Control Technologies, Ltd.
The consolidated financial statements are also combined with the financial statements of RFI Exports, Inc., its consolidated affiliate. The entity is owned by a trust whose beneficiaries are related via common ownership with the Company. RFI Exports, Inc. receives commission income based on the Company’s foreign sales which is ultimately paid out in the form of dividends to its shareholder. RFI Exports, Inc. is included in these consolidated financial statements under requirements for consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). If an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of the operations of the VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company has determined that RFI Exports, Inc. is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of RFI Exports, Inc. The Company’s ownership interest is presented as a “noncontrolling interest” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with and anticipation of the transaction described in Note 21, RFI Exports, Inc. was liquidated as of December 31, 2011.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
7
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations that generally require payment within thirty to sixty days from the invoice date. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be adversely affected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined principally by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, and market on the basis of lower of replacement cost or estimated net proceeds from sale.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, using straight-line and accelerated methods. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged against earnings when incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Patents
The costs of patents acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining legal or economic useful life of the respective patents.
8
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized on the appropriate basis over their estimated useful lives. When an intangible asset is determined to be impaired it is written down to its fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially recorded as the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the net fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed and is subsequently reported at the lesser of carrying value or fair value. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. Impairment losses, when incurred, are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test in 2011 and determined goodwill was not impaired.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when the products are shipped or delivered and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for any rebates, sales incentives, promotions and product returns, and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenues in the same period revenues are recorded.
Research and Development
All costs for research and development are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Self-Insurance
The Company maintains a self-insurance program for hospitalization and medical coverage, generally limited to payment of $70,000 per individual ($80,000 beginning January 1, 2011) per plan year (year ending December 31) through the use of a stop-loss policy. Losses and claims are charged against income as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies shipping and handling costs within cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations.
Sales Taxes Collected and Remitted
The Company presents sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a gross basis, including such amounts in both revenues and cost of sales.
9
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns.
