Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in this Report.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Federal Screw Works (the "Company"), originally incorporated in Michigan
in 1919, is a domestic manufacturer of industrial component parts, consisting of
locknuts, bolts, piston pins, studs, bushings, shafts and other machined, cold
formed, hardened and/or ground metal parts, all of which constitute a single
industry segment.
The Company's products are manufactured at several plants and are
fabricated from metal rod and bar, which are generally available at competitive
prices from multiple sources. Production is in high-volume job lots to the
specification of original equipment manufacturers and sold to them for
incorporation into their assemblies. The majority of these sales are to
manufacturers of automobiles and trucks, with the balance being mainly to
manufacturers of nonautomotive durable goods.
Approximately 93% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2004 (93% and 91%
in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively) were made either directly or
indirectly to automotive companies. The Company generally does not require
collateral from its customers.
While the Company holds a number of patents, it believes that the
successful continuation of its business is not dependent on any single patent or
group of patents, trademarks, or licenses. The Company retains the rights to
certain royalties related to an exclusive license agreement with semiconductor
manufacturer Silicon Systems incorporated (SSi), whereunder SSi will produce and
market certain phonetic speech synthesizer chips under the SSi product name. The
Company does not consider the royalty agreement to be material to its business.
The OEM supplier industry is highly cyclical and, in large part, dependent
upon the overall strength of consumer demand for light trucks and passenger
cars. There can be no assurance that the automotive industry, for which the
Company supplies components, will not experience downturns in the future. A
decrease in overall consumer demand for motor vehicles in general, or specific
segments, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company is dependent upon sales to the two largest U.S. automobile
manufacturers, a condition that has existed for over fifty years. Although the
Company has purchase orders from such customers, such purchase orders generally
provide for supplying the customer's requirements for a particular model or
model year rather than for manufacturing a specific quantity of products. The
loss of any one of such customers or significant purchase orders could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. These customers are also able to exert
considerable pressure on component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality
and provide additional design and engineering capabilities. There can be no
assurance that the additional costs of increased quality standards, price
reductions or additional capabilities required by such customers will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
Customers comprising 10% or greater of the Company's net sales are
summarized as follows:
2004 2003 2002
---- ---- ----
Ford Motor Company....................................... 33% 34% 35%
TRW Automotive........................................... 15% 14% 11%
General Motors Corporation............................... 12% 12% 13%
All Others............................................... 40% 40% 41%
--- --- ---
100% 100% 100%
=== === ===
Many of the Company's customers, and other suppliers to the Company's
customers, are unionized, and work stoppages, slow-downs or other labor disputes
experienced by, and the labor relations policies of, such customers and
suppliers, could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
3
As of August 31, 2004, the Company had an estimated backlog of firm orders
amounting to approximately $8,450,000, all of which are expected to be filled
within the 2005 fiscal year. The comparable backlog as of August 31, 2003
amounted to approximately $12,350,000.
The manufacture and sale of the Company's products is an extremely
competitive business. Because industry statistics are not available, the Company
is unable to accurately determine the number of its competitors, nor to state
its competitive position in its principal market as a supplier of parts to
automotive customers. However, the Company believes that it is generally
considered a leading producer of its principal type of product. While the
Company does not believe that there is any single domestic supplier, or small
group of suppliers, which is dominant in its principal markets, the Company is
aware that there are companies making similar products, with greater sales and
resources than the Company. The Company is also aware that in recent years the
activity of foreign competitors manufacturing similar products has increased.
The quality of the product, the product's price and service to customers are the
principal methods of competition. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to successfully compete in future periods.
Research and development activity expenses during each of the last three
fiscal years is not deemed material.
The Company has experienced no material effects in complying with
government environmental regulations.
The Company presently employs 376 hourly-rated and salaried personnel. The
Company's hourly work forces at the Chelsea and Romulus facilities are
unionized. The Company's contracts with the unions in Chelsea and Romulus expire
in May of 2005 and January of 2007, respectively.
In fiscal years 2002 and 2003, the Company's sales to customers outside
the United States were not significant. In fiscal 2004, the Company's sales
continued to be primarily to customers within the United States; however,
approximately 18% of the Company's sales were to customers in Canada, composed
primarily of sales to TRW Automotive and the Canadian operations of General
Motors Corporation and the Ford Motor Company. Sales to customers outside the
United States and Canada in fiscal 2004 were not significant.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's industrial component parts are manufactured in seven plants
located throughout Michigan. A brief description of each division follows.
The Big Rapids Division in Big Rapids, Michigan, manufactures special
high-strength bolts and other cold formed products using boltmakers and headers
as primary equipment. Among the items manufactured to both inch and metric
specifications are hex head bolts, connecting rod bolts, studs and flange bolts.
The 200,000 square foot plant is situated on 25 acres of land, and contains heat
treat facilities for hardening in-process parts.
The Romulus Division is housed in a 100,000 square foot plant, on 13 acres
of land, in Romulus, Michigan. This division uses nutformers as primary
equipment to manufacture special prevailing torque locknuts. Products include
locknuts, connecting rod nuts, and other special nut products, in both metric
and inch sizes. The plant has its own furnace for heat treating in-process
parts.
In February of 1999, the Company began operations in a new 35,000 square
foot plant in Traverse City, Michigan. This division manufactures special
assemblies for our automotive customers.
The parts produced at the above divisions are sold principally to the
automotive market. These parts are mass produced, and most are shipped directly
to car assembly plants.
The Novex Tool Division occupies a 19,000 square foot leased facility in
Brighton, Michigan. The lease expires in December, 2004. The division
manufactures perishable tooling, primarily for the cold heading industry.
Approximately thirty percent of its output is consumed by the Company's Big
Rapids, Romulus and Traverse City Divisions.
4
The Chelsea Division is located in Chelsea, Michigan, in a plant having
approximately 86,000 square feet. Primary equipment consists of automatic screw
machines and rotary index machines capable of making products from 1/16 inch to
2-3/4 inches in diameter. The Chelsea Division fabricates a wide variety of
precision parts including piston pins, bushings, fittings, special fasteners,
valve components, sleeves, shafts, gear blanks and the like. These parts are
generally produced in large volume lots and delivered direct to manufacturers of
products such as compressors, automobiles, transmissions and small engines.
In August, 1994, the Company leased a 16,000 square foot facility in
Romulus, Michigan to conduct engineering and manufacturing development
activities. This facility, known as the Technical Center, gives the Company
sufficient room to try out new primary and secondary equipment, tooling, and
parts feeding and automation devices, as well as permitting the Company to
rebuild recently purchased used equipment.
In June of 2001, the Company began operations in a new 43,000 square foot
plant in Boyne City, Michigan. This division manufactures machined products for
the refrigeration and automotive industries.
The Company's corporate offices are located at 20229 Nine Mile Road, St.
Clair Shores, an eastern suburb of Detroit, Michigan. The Company occupies
12,000 square feet of space under a ten year lease expiring in 2009 (renewable
for two additional periods of five years each).
The Company owns outright all of the above described buildings, land and
production facilities except as specifically noted to the contrary. The Company
utilizes all of the floor space of these structures. Present facilities are
adequate to meet the needs of each respective division.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis provide information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Company's products are used in the manufacture of light duty trucks
and passenger cars made principally by the two largest North American automobile
companies. These parts are either shipped directly to automakers or to large
automotive component producers, who then supply automakers with their
components. North American consumer demand for cars and trucks from these two
principal automobile manufacturers therefore largely defines the general market
for the Company's products. In the fiscal year just ended, weaker consumer
demand reduced automotive production schedules in comparison with the year
previous, adversely affecting the Company's sales and earnings. Similarly,
recessionary levels of demand from the Company's refrigeration customers
continue.
Price concessions continue to be a significant feature of the Company's
relationship with both automakers and component producers. Further, precipitous
increases in the price of steel, a major cost component of the Company's
operations, were absorbed this fiscal year. As new steel contracts are
negotiated, the Company expects the financial impact of this increase to grow
although the Company cannot quantify this increase at this time. In general, the
Company has been unable to pass this increase on to its customers.
Within a climate of persistently stagnant consumer demand, sustained
pressure for price concessions, and substantial increases in such major cost
components as steel, health care, energy, and regulation, industry pressure for
the transfer of manufacturing activities to lower cost domestic and overseas
producers will intensify. Generally called outsourcing, this process will
provide the Company with a heightened risk of loss of current business as well
as ample practical opportunities to acquire new business. While all of the
Company's operations will be vulnerable to outsourcing, typically but not
exclusively on its less difficult parts, it has in fact secured various new
parts programs of significant value this past year as a result of outsourcing,
including the Company's first large order from a foreign or transplant component
producer supplying a foreign automobile manufacturer.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percent relationship of certain items
to net sales for the periods indicated:
For the Years Ended June 30,
----------------------------
2004 2003 2002
---- ---- ----
Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Gross profit 7.8 11.3 11.2
Selling, general and administrative expenses 5.9 6.1 6.3
Interest .2 .2 .2
Other income .2 .1 2.2
Earnings before federal income taxes 1.9 5.1 6.9
Net earnings 1.4 3.5 4.7
The Company reported net sales of $90.7 million in fiscal 2004, which
represented a 4.9% decrease from fiscal 2003 sales of $95.4 million. Net sales
for fiscal 2003 decreased 0.1% from fiscal 2002 sales of $95.5 million. Net
sales in 2004 decreased as a result of reduced vehicle production by Ford,
General Motors and Chrysler. Net sales in 2003 decreased slightly for the same
reason, although the reduction was less in 2003 than it was in 2004.
Gross profit decreased to $7.1 million in fiscal 2004, a $3.7 million
decrease from fiscal 2003. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in net
sales described above, increased steel prices, and curtailment charges
9
related to the Company's benefit plans. Fiscal 2003 gross profit increased $0.1
million from fiscal 2002. The increase was attributable to improved productivity
and occurred despite pressure from most of the Company's customers for price
reductions. The Company continues to increase productivity through manufacturing
process improvements. These improvements are achieved primarily through the
purchases of new, more efficient, capital equipment which utilize more recent
technologies.
The Company is dependent upon sales to the two largest U.S. automobile
manufacturers, a condition that has existed for over fifty years. Although the
Company has purchase orders from such customers, such purchase orders generally
provide for supplying the customer's requirements for a particular model or
model year rather than for manufacturing a specific quantity of products. The
loss of any one of such customers or significant purchase orders could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. These customers are also able to exert
considerable pressure on component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality
and provide additional design and engineering capabilities. There can be no
assurance that the additional costs of increased quality standards, price
reductions or additional capabilities required by such customers will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 decreased
$422,000 primarily because of a $600,000 reduction in bonus accruals due to the
decrease in earnings, offset by increases in insurance costs, outside director
fees and professional fees, totaling $155,000. The Company expects the outside
director fees to increase next year due to the addition of one director. Also,
the Company expects professional fees to increase due to continued compliance
with new regulations enacted in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In
fiscal 2003 and 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses were 6.1% and
6.3% of net sales, respectively. Interest expense decreased in fiscal 2004 and
2003 because of a decrease in short-term interest rates under the Company's
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.
Included in other income for fiscal 2002 is $2,180,000 which the Company
received as a result of the sale of stock acquired in connection with the
demutualization of insurance companies. The net after-tax gains from these
transactions were $997,000 in the second quarter and $501,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002.
DIVIDENDS
Aggregate cash dividends declared in fiscal 2004 were $0.70 per share,
$0.22 less than that declared in fiscal 2003 and $0.18 less than that declared
in fiscal 2002. The Company declared a 5-for-4 stock split on February 14, 2003,
payable as a stock dividend April 1, 2003. The dividend per share amounts have
been adjusted to retroactively give effect to the stock split. The Board of
Directors, in August 2004, declared a $0.10 per share quarterly cash dividend.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary source of liquidity and capital resources is cash
generated from operating activities and availability under its Revolving Credit
and Term Loan Agreement.
Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2004 was $8.6 million
compared to $11.1 million in 2003 and $11.7 million in 2002. The decrease in
2004 is primarily a result of reduced earnings and changes in working capital.
Working capital at June 30, 2004 equaled $20,837,000 as compared to $18,904,000
at June 30, 2003. Accounts receivable increased $1.1 million in 2004. This
increase is due to one large customer extending its payment terms from the 28th
of every month to the 2nd of the following month. This increased accounts
receivable $870,000 at June 30, 2004. Inventories in fiscal 2004 increased $1.2
million, due in part to rising steel costs and increased quantities of raw
material. Because of the volatility in the steel market discussed earlier, the
Company increased its inventory to insure an uninterrupted supply to its
customers. Accounts payable increased, in part, for the same reason. The cash
provided by operating activities in 2003 were comparable to 2002.
Working capital at June 30, 2003 equaled $18,904,000, as compared to
working capital of $20,410,000 at June 30, 2002. The decrease resulted primarily
from a decease in inventories. Inventories were reduced to reflect lower demand
from the Company's automotive customers and the elimination of strike banks
required earlier but no longer necessary with the signing of a new four year
contract with the employees of the Company's Romulus
10
Division effective February 1, 2003. Accounts payable also decreased due to the
reduction in inventories. Accounts receivable decreased in fiscal 2003 as a
result of lower sales in June, 2003 compared to June 2002.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2004 were $9.0 million, primarily related
to the purchase of equipment and expansion of activities in order to improve
production efficiencies and enable the Company to meet increased future demand
for its products. Capital expenditures made for these same purposes in fiscal
years 2003 and 2002 were $5.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
Expenditures for additional equipment during fiscal 2005 are presently expected
to approximate $6.6 million, of which $1.4 million had been committed at June
30, 2004. These future capital expenditures are expected to be financed from
cash generated from operations and additional borrowing capacity under the
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million in fiscal 2004.
This compares to $5.1 million used in financing activities in fiscal 2003 and
$4.1 million used in financing activities in fiscal 2002. Fluctuations in these
activities have been influenced principally by borrowings and repayments under
the Company's Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Repurchases of the
Company's common stock have fluctuated due to the availability of stock to
purchase. Dividends paid decreased in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 compared to
the previous years as a result of reduced earnings.
On December 3, 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 185,000 shares, or approximately 12.9%, of the Company's then
outstanding common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company has the
authority to repurchase stock through the open market, block purchases, or in
negotiated private transactions on an ongoing basis. The repurchases are subject
to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of
the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company's financial
performance. The Board of Directors believes that the repurchase program will
allow the Company to be in technical compliance with the Controlled Company
exemption from certain new director independence and board committee
requirements for companies traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. The purchases
are expected to be financed from cash generated from operations and additional
borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. For
information regarding shares purchased under this repurchase program, see Item
5. "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities".
On October 17, 2003, the Company extended its Revolving Credit and Term
Loan Agreement by one year. The expiration date for this agreement is now
October 31, 2006, and is renewable annually for an additional year. Borrowings
up to $25 million and capital expenditures of $16 million annually are permitted
under the agreement. The Company has the option to convert borrowings under the
facility to a term note through October 31, 2006. Payments under the term note,
if the conversion option were exercised, would be made quarterly and could
extend to October 31, 2008. Therefore, borrowings under the Revolving Credit and
Term Loan Agreement, which were $8,260,000 at June 30, 2004, $5,680,000 at June
30, 2003 and $6,340,000 at June 30, 2002, are classified as long-term debt. The
increase is the result of increased capital expenditures in fiscal 2004.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 requires recognition of
a minimum liability for those pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of the fair values of plan assets at the Company's measurement date of
March 31. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company
recorded a non-cash charge to shareholders' equity of $5,080,000, after-tax,
related to the additional minimum liability for certain underfunded pension
plans which decreased shareholders' equity. Pension funding requirements were
not affected by the recording of this charge. Further, the charge did not impact
net earnings, and was reversed in fiscal 2004 as a result of the fair value of
pension plan assets exceeding the accumulated benefit obligations at March 31,
2004.
MARKET RISK
The Company's market risk is limited to interest rate risk on its
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2004, the carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
debt and investments approximate fair value. Accordingly, management believes
this risk is not material. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement are subject to variable interest rates. A one hundred basis point
increase in interest rates would have resulted in additional interest expense of
$58,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004.
11
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The Company passes increased costs on to customers, to the extent
permitted by competition, by increasing sales prices whenever possible. In
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company was unable, with a few exceptions, to
pass on cost increases incurred due to competitive pressures. Sales price
increases in each of these years were insignificant.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Application of these accounting principles requires the Company's management to
make estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties. As a
result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In preparing these
financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of
the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements, giving due
regard to materiality. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and
underlying assumptions. In the event estimates or underlying assumptions prove
to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in the subsequent
period to reflect more current information. The Company believes that the
following significant accounting policies involve management's most difficult,
subjective judgments or involve the greatest uncertainty.
Investments and Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for its investments under FASB 115 as securities
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component
of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged
to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in
investment income or loss. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as
available-for-sale are included in investment income. The fair value of
marketable securities is based on quoted market value. The Company reviews its
investments to determine if the value shows a decline that has been deemed other
than temporary. The use of different judgments could negatively affect the
Company's results of operations for the period. For the years ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, Federal Screw Works recorded losses of $8,000 and $88,000,
respectively, on equity investments as a result of declines in the fair market
value of certain of its equity investments deemed to be other-than-temporary.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped
and title has transferred to the customer. An estimated reserve is recorded for
anticipated returns and credit memos which will be issued on sales recognized to
date. The use of different estimates could negatively affect the Company's
results of operations. The Company has several product lines, but only one
reportable segment. Providing revenues from each product line or each group of
product lines is impracticable. The SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.
101, "Revenue Recognition," provides guidance on the application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected
revenue recognition issues. The Company has concluded its revenue recognition
policy is appropriate and in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and SAB No. 101.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for amounts that may
become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily
on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer and
historical experience. Also, the Company monitors its accounts receivable and
charges to expense an amount equal to its estimate of potential credit losses.
The Company considers a number of factors in determining its estimates,
including the length of time its trade accounts receivable are past due, the
Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its
obligation and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.
The use of different estimates could negatively affect the Company's results of
operation for the period.
12
Price Reductions
As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, all customer price reductions have been
accounted for, therefore no amounts have been accrued.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, determined by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, was used for certain raw material
inventories; $1,546,000 and $785,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The remaining inventories are costed using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method. If inventories valued on LIFO had been valued at current cost, amounts
reported at June 30 would have been increased by $994,000 and $499,000 in fiscal
2004 and 2003, respectively. Provision is made to reduce inventories to net
realizable value for excess and/or obsolete material. The Company periodically
reviews its inventory levels in order to identify obsolete and slow-moving
inventory. The Company estimates excess or obsolete inventory based principally
upon contemplated future customer demand for the Company's products. The use of
different assumptions in determining slow-moving and obsolete inventories would
result in different charges to cost of sales in each period presented and could
negatively affect the Company's results of operations.
Workers' Compensation Reserve
The Company is self-insured for workers' compensation claims for up to
$350,000 per claim. The Company has excess liability insurance with an outside
insurance carrier to minimize its risks to catastrophic claims. Losses are
accrued based on an estimate of the ultimate aggregate liability for claims
incurred, using certain assumptions based on the Company's experience under this
program. Factors considered in estimating our reserves are the nature of
outstanding claims, estimated costs to settle existing claims and loss history.
Significant changes in the factors described above could have a material adverse
impact on future operating results. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company has
accrued approximately $727,000 and $809,000, respectively, included in payroll
and employee benefits. Workers' compensation expense was $327,000 in fiscal
2004. This compares to $140,000 in fiscal 2003 and $387,000 in fiscal 2002. The
expense will vary year to year, depending on the number and severity of injuries
incurred.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information in the foregoing "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains "forwarding looking
statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to expectations for future
periods, which are subject to various uncertainties which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. These
uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
- increased costs for steel used to manufacture the Company's
products;
- diversion of business from our customers to overseas
manufacturers;
- increased costs incurred due to recently enacted and proposed
changes in securities laws and regulations, as well as
recently enacted rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market;
- increased health care, energy and other costs;
- increased competition;
- inability of the Company to expand its range of technical
capabilities through the production of more sophisticated,
complex parts, yielding higher, more durable margins;
- the loss of, or reduction in business with, the Company's
principal customers;
13
- fluctuations in demand for the Company's products;
- the impact of additional costs of increased quality standards,
price reductions or additional capabilities required by the
Company's principal customers;
- the ability of the Company to pass cost increases on to its
customers;
- changes in expected capital expenditures;
- work stoppages, strikes and slowdowns at the Company's
facilities and those of its customers; and
- adverse changes in economic conditions generally and those of
the automotive industry, specifically.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or
other relationships with unconsolidated entities known as "special purpose
entities" (SPEs). In the ordinary course of business, the Company leases certain
real properties and equipment as disclosed in Note 4 to the financial
statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company's market risk is limited to interest rate risk on its
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2004, the carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
debt and investments approximate fair value. Accordingly, management believes
this risk is not material. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement are subject to variable interest rates. A one hundred basis point
increase in the interest rates would result in additional interest expense of
$58,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEDERAL SCREW WORKS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: Federal Screw Works was founded in 1917 and is a
domestic manufacturer of industrial component parts, consisting of locknuts,
bolts, piston pins, studs, bushings, shafts and other machined and/or ground
metal parts, all of which constitute a single business segment. The Company's
fiscal year end is June 30.
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost,
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, was used for certain raw
material inventories, $1,546,000 and $785,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The remaining inventories are costed using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. If inventories valued on LIFO had been valued at current cost,
amounts reported at June 30 would have been increased by $994,000 and $499,000
in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost,
which includes the cost of interest which is capitalized during construction of
significant additions. Provisions for depreciation are based upon the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets and are computed by the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income
tax purposes.
INVESTMENTS: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 ("FASB 115"), the Company has classified all investments as "available for
sale" because they are freely tradable. Available-for-sale securities are
carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity net of applicable income taxes. Realized gains
and losses and declines in value deemed to be other-than-temporary on
available-for-sale securities are included in other income. The cost basis for
realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities is determined on a
specific identification basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES: 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 at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when
goods are shipped and title has transferred to the customer. For one of its
customers, product is shipped to the customer's warehouse and title transfers
and revenue is recognized when this customer consumes the goods from its
warehouse and notifies us. The annual revenue from this customer represents 1.5%
of total sales. An estimated reserve is recorded for anticipated returns and
credit memos which will be issued on sales recognized to date. The use of
different estimates could negatively affect the Company's results of operations.
The Company has several product lines, but only one reportable segment.
Providing revenues from each product line or each group of product lines is
impracticable. The SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition," provides guidance on the application of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue
recognition issues. The Company has concluded its revenue recognition policy is
appropriate and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America and SAB No. 101.
ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Accounts receivable have been
reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future.
This estimated allowance ($50,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003) is based primarily
on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer and
historical experience. Also, the Company monitors its accounts receivable and
charges to expense an amount equal to its estimate of potential credit losses.
The Company considers a number of factors in determining its estimates,
including the length of time its trade accounts receivable are past due, the
Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its
obligation and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.
The use of different estimates could negatively affect the Company's results of
operations for the period.
OTHER INCOME: Included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2002 is a
gain of $2,180,000 resulting from the sale of stock acquired in connection with
the demutualization of insurance companies.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, debt and investments approximate fair value.

2004, 2003 and 2002 are not material.
NOTE 6 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors three defined benefit pension plans covering substantially
all employees. Benefits under two of the plans are based on negotiated rates
times years of service. Under the remaining plan, benefits are based on
compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement and years of
service. It is the Company's policy to make contributions to these plans
sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements of the applicable laws and
regulations, plus such additional amounts, if any, as the Company's actuarial
consultants advise to be appropriate.
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health
care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the
Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal
retirement age while working for the Company. The benefits are provided through
certain insurance companies.
The Company uses a measurement date of March 31 and June 30 for purposes of
valuing its obligations related to pension benefits and postretirement benefits,
respectively. The following tables set forth the plans' funded status at the
2004 and 2003 measurement dates:

The Company recorded an additional minimum pension liability of $9,054,000 as of
June 30, 2003 representing the amount required to bring the Company's recorded
pension liability to equal the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over
fair value of plan assets for the applicable plans. An intangible pension asset
of $1,472,000 was recorded as of June 30, 2003 to the extent of the plans'
unrecognized prior service cost. The difference between the additional minimum
pension liability and intangible pension asset was included as other
comprehensive loss of $5,080,000, less income tax benefit of $2,502,000, for the
year ended June 30, 2003. In fiscal 2004, this additional minimum pension
liability was reversed as a result of the fair value of the pension plans'
assets exceeding their accumulated benefit obligations at March 31, 2004.
Assumed health care cost inflation is based on an initial rate of 11.0%
decreasing to an ultimate rate of 5.5% in 2014. Increasing the assumed health
care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 by
$2,870,000 and $2,888,000, respectively, and the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the
years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 by $324,000, $247,000, and $256,000,

In fiscal 2004, the Company recognized a curtailment loss of $812,000 on its
postretirement health plan and $179,000 for one of its defined benefit pension
plans. The curtailment was a result of a reduction in the number of the
Company's employees.
The Company sponsors a supplemental executive retirement plan which covers
certain executives of the Company. The net periodic benefit cost for the plan
was $687,000, $722,000 and $807,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company recorded an additional minimum pension liability of $397,500 as of
June 30, 2004 for this plan representing the excess of the plan's accumulated
benefit obligation over the related benefit cost accrued at June 30, 2004. This
additional minimum pension liability was recorded as an intangible pension
asset. The actuarial present value of vested benefit obligations approximated
$3,815,000 at June 30, 2004 and $3,009,000 at June 30, 2003, respectively. The
Company has invested $3,630,000 and $2,898,000 as of June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, to cover obligations of the plan.
The Company sponsors a retirement plan for directors who are not employees of
the Company. The net periodic benefit cost for the plan was $105,000 in fiscal
2004, $36,000 in fiscal 2003, and $41,000 in fiscal 2002. The actuarial present
value of vested benefit obligations approximated $894,000 at June 30, 2004 and
$879,000 at June 30, 2003. The Company has invested $760,000 and $657,000 as of

The Company's defined benefit plan assets are managed by institutional
investment managers. Target investment allocation rates have been developed for
the pension plans with consideration for the population. Overall, the plans have
a normal mix of active and retired participants. The plans allow for small
variations from the target percentages to allow for anticipated fluctuations in
the market, allowing the plans' to meet the investment goal of the assets
equaling the liabilities of the plans as they are due.
Plan assets of one of the plans includes 15,156 shares of Federal Screw Works
common stock which had a market value of $550,000 at June 30, 2004 and June 30,
2003.
The Company's contributions to the defined benefit plans in fiscal 2005 are
estimated to be $1,200,000.
The assumptions used in the calculation of amounts recognized for the Company's
benefit plans are as follows:

Expected return on plan assets 8.0% 8.0% - -
Rate of salary increase 5.0% 5.0% - -
The net periodic pension cost for fiscal 2004 and 2003 was based on a long-term
asset rate of return of 8.0%. This rate is based upon management's and the
investment advisor's estimate of future long-term rates of return on similar
assets and is consistent with historical returns on assets. Using the plans'
current mix of assets and adjusting for current market trends for this broadly
diversified portfolio, an expected rate of return of 8.0% continues to be
justified.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Federal Screw Works
St. Clair Shores, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Federal Screw Works as of June
30, 2004, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2) for the year ended June 30, 2004.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Federal Screw Works
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Federal Screw Works as of June
30, 2003 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003. These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Federal Screw Works at June 30,
2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended June 30, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
