TB Wood’s Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited, in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

1.	Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of TB Wood’s Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


	These financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.


	The Company reports its financial results on a 52/53-week fiscal year, consisting of four quarters of 13 weeks each, ending on the Friday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2004 is a 52-week year ending on December 31, 2004. Fiscal 2003 was a 53-week year which ended on January 2, 2004.


2.	Inventories


	The Company uses the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of inventory valuation for approximately 77% percent of its inventories. Remaining inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates of the expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many forces beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The major classes of inventory consisted of the following:

		July 2 2004			January 2 2004

Finished goods	$	14,983		$	14,152
Work in process		4,465			4,028
Raw materials		8,934			8,787
LIFO reserve		(5,370	)		(5,333	)

Inventory value at LIFO	$	23,012		$	21,634


3.	Shareholders’ Equity


	Dividends:


	On July 15, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable on July 30, 2004 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 26, 2004.

Treasury Stock:


	During the six months ended July 2, 2004 the Company did not purchase any shares for the treasury. Year to date, the number of treasury shares sold to employees under the stock purchase plan was 3,858 shares and the number of shares issued to participants in the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan was 4,690 shares.


	Stock Options:

On February 5, 2004, the Company granted options for the purchase of 103,800 shares of common stock to employees at exercise prices equal to or in excess of market price on the date of grant. On April 27, 2004 the Company granted options for the purchase of 84,000 shares of common stock to employees at exercise prices equal to or in excess of market price on the date of grant. These options vest over three years following the grant and expire on February 5, 2014, and April 27, 2014 respectively.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Accounting Financial Standard (SFAS) No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, as of December 28, 2002 (beginning of Fiscal 2003) to account for stock based compensation cost using the fair value method. The fair value after tax cost of stock based compensation cost was $29 and $27 for the second quarter of 2004 and 2003 respectively, and $53 and $54 for the 2004 and 2003 year to date periods, respectively.


4.	Other Comprehensive Income


	Total comprehensive income (loss) for the year to date periods ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 was as follows:

Earnings Per Share


	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares and common equivalent shares if dilutive. The computation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

	Second Quarter Ended

	July 2, 2004	June 27, 2003

Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding	5,161	5,176
Shares issueable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options	4	—

Diluted weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding	5,165	5,176


	Outstanding options to purchase 712,567 and 858,550 shares of common stock as of July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively, are not included in the above calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


5.	Postretirement Benefit


	The components of the net periodic post retirement benefit recognized are as follows:

		Six Months Ended

		July 2, 2004			June 27, 2003

Service Cost	$	4		$	2
Interest Cost		18			80
Amortization of prior service benefit and actuarial gain		(410	)		(326	)

Net periodic benefit	$	(388	)	$	(244	)


	The Company expects to contribute $153 during fiscal 2004 to cover the cost of group insurance premiums applicable to its retirees participating in the postretirement benefit plan.

The principal reason for the sales increase has been the effect of the economic recovery that began in the second half of fiscal 2003 and has continued through the second quarter of 2004. In addition to the effect of general economic conditions on the Company’s revenues, the buying patterns and inventory management practices of one of the Company’s major customers have significantly influenced the timing of the Company’s revenues. First half 2003 revenues were adversely affected when significant 2002 year-end purchases by the Company’s largest customer were followed by reduced buying in the first half of 2003. While a similar buying pattern occurred at the end of fiscal 2003, the strength of the economic recovery, particularly its effect on demand for the Company’s mechanical products, has helped to avert a similar slowdown in shipments in the current quarter and six months ended July 2, 2004.

Mechanical Business sales grew $773, or 5.0% over the prior year’s second quarter. Increased volume accounted for approximately 3.5% of this gain, while the remaining 1.5% growth was due to higher product pricing. Electronics Business sales declined $417, or (4.3%) from lower volumes (7.9%), offset by 1.2% increased pricing and 2.4% favorable currency translations. Overall, consolidated revenue increased by 1.4% principally due to increased pricing. The Company announced an average 3.0% price increase at the beginning of the year, and followed up with another increase in mid-second quarter to offset escalating material costs, particularly for scrap metal and steel-related products. In addition, favorable currency fluctuations helped to improve sales in the second quarter of 2004. These gains were offset by lower relative volumes.

Year to date sales rose at the rate of 8.1% through the second quarter, off from the 15.6% growth rate exhibited in the first quarter of 2004. However, this was anticipated in light of purchasing levels by the Company’s major distribution customers. Six months to date sales to these customers are up 5.7% compared to the first quarter increase of 39.0%. The current level of sales growth appears to be returning to a more normal growth rate as the overall pace of growth in the economy begins to moderate. Approximately one-half of the year to date sales increase is attributable to volume growth, with the balance caused nearly equally by price increases and favorable currency fluctuations.

Total Company gross profit as a percent of net sales for the second quarter increased to 32.4% from 32.0% in the second quarter of 2003. The favorable impacts of increased pricing (1.4%) and currency gains (0.5%) were offset by changes in product mix and higher material and other production costs. The Company’s Mechanical Division reported gross profits of $5.1 million, or 62.1% of total gross profit, while the Electronics Division contributed $3.1 million of gross profit, or 37.9% of consolidated gross profit. A 2.2% profit margin increase in the Company’s Mechanical Business gross profit margin was partially offset by a 2.2% decrease in the Company’s Electronics Business gross profit margin.

Year to date profit margins declined slightly from 31.4% a year ago to 30.6%. Mechanical Products margins decreased from 31.0% to 28.9%, largely because of higher material and other production costs. While moderating downward slightly in the second quarter, scrap metal prices remain near all-time high levels and adversely affected gross profit margin percentage by 1.8 points. Also in 2004, a margin percentage decline of 1.0 point is related to spending for the planned closure of the Company’s Trenton, Tennessee facility. The Company announced on June 1, 2004, its intent to close its manufacturing operation in Trenton and shift that production to lower cost facilities operated by the company. In addition, 2003 results reflected savings associated with temporary work furloughs and benefit costs reductions, principally in the first quarter of 2003 when production was at a much lower rate than current operating levels. Electronics Products margins improved slightly from 32.0% to 33.4% when compared to the first half of 2003 due primarily to improved product pricing and favorable currency fluctuations.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to 29.9% of sales in the second quarter of 2004 as compared to 29.3% in the second quarter of 2003. In the first six months of 2004, SG&A expenses declined to 27.9% of sales compared to 28.3% in 2003 principally due to the fixed nature of such costs relative to the increased revenue levels. Actual SG&A expenses increased by $234 in the second quarter of 2004, largely due to increased personnel costs, and increased by $887 in the first six months of 2004, as compared to the same period of 2003. The increased personnel costs, together with $473 of non-recurring savings associated with the termination of a supplemental retirement plan for senior executives and $272 savings related to reduced costs from employees foregoing salaries during March 2003 were the principal reasons for the change in year to date costs. SG&A expenses reflect a benefit of $232 and $472 for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2004 compared to $121 and $485 for the corresponding periods of the prior year in connection with the deferred recognition of gains associated with changes to post-employment healthcare obligations (see Note 5).

Despite significant material cost increases and additional planned spending in 2004 related to the closure of the Trenton plant, operating income was down slightly from the corresponding prior periods. 2004 results were affected by these items, and on a comparative basis, 2003 results reflect non-recurring savings attributable to benefit reductions and work furloughs.

Interest expense is the primary component of other expenses and was $378 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $231 for the same period in 2003. This increase was caused by higher interest rates incurred by the Company as a result of amending its primary borrowing agreement, as well as higher borrowing levels in 2004 necessary to fund increased working capital needs associated with business growth. Income taxes remain at rates higher than statutory rates primarily due to operating losses at the Company’s Mexico operations that do not currently yield any tax benefits. Higher interest and income tax expense contributed to the decline in net income in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter in the preceding year. Net income in the second quarter of 2004 was $95, or $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $349 or $0.07 per share in the second quarter of 2003. Net income for the six months ended July 2, 2004 was $229, or $0.04 per share, compared to net income of $563, or $0.11 per share for the comparable period of 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At July 2, 2004 the Company’s debt obligations totaled $28.2 million, compared to $25.4 million at January 2, 2004. Borrowings at July 2, 2004 include $22.1 million of revolving credit under the terms of a $36 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). In addition, the Company owes $5.3 million of revenue bonds, and $0.8 million for other borrowings. The revenue bonds are supported by letters of credit issued under the terms of the Facility that expire in April 2005. At January 2, 2004 the Company had borrowed $19.4 million in revolving term debt under the Facility, owed $5.3 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds, and had $0.7 million of other borrowings.

In February 2004, the Company amended the Facility to extend its maturity date to January 10, 2005 and provide the Company additional flexibility under certain of the financial covenants as the Company takes steps to negotiate a longer term financing agreement. The amendment granted the lenders security over substantially all of the Company’s United States assets, reduced the maximum amount of the Facility from $46 million to $36 million, and increased stated borrowing rates approximately 0.5% (the Company’s effective borrowing rate under the Facility was approximately 4.29% on July 2, 2004). The Facility currently provides financial support for the operating activities of the Company, and the reduction in the Facility better reflects the Company’s working capital needs over the remaining term of the agreement.

After taking into consideration approximately $1.7 million of additional letters of credit that serve as collateral for long-term workers compensation risk exposures, the Company had approximately $6.8 million of available borrowing capacity under the Facility at July 2, 2004. In addition, borrowings are subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants. Management is continuing discussions with its current lenders and other sources of debt financing to secure long-term financing commitments beyond January 2005. This could lead to additional assets being pledged to secure any such borrowings, as well as higher borrowing costs.

The Company generated net cash flow of $0 for the six months ended July 2, 2004 compared to $297 for the same period in fiscal 2003. While the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations in each of the last five years ended January 2, 2004, during the first six months of fiscal 2004 the Company used $613 in its operating activities. This use of operating funds is attributable to investments in working capital including $2.4 million of increased trade credit and $1.4 million of increased inventory levels. The increase in trade receivables arose in part from increased sales in the first half of 2004, as well as a lower than normal level of trade credit at the beginning of the period due to $2.2 million accelerated payment on trade accounts received just prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year. The investment in inventories has occurred to support expanded revenue levels and plan for the transition of production from the Company’s Trenton, Tennessee facility to other operating locations. The Company also used $1,207 for capital expenditures during the first six months of 2004 compared to $1,166 in the preceding year, levels that management considers sufficient to maintain and support new product introductions, improve product quality, and reduce operating costs. These uses of cash were funded primarily through increases in the revolving line of credit.

The Company paid $929 and $943 of dividends in the first six months of 2004 and 2003. The Company’s ongoing ability to declare and pay dividends is ultimately dependent upon its ability to operate at profitable levels, and demonstrate compliance with its revolving credit agreement. On July 15, 2004 the Company declared a dividend of $0.09 per share totaling $465, payable on July 30, 2004.

The Company’s working capital at July 2, 2004 as compared to January 2, 2004 was significantly lower primarily due to the classification of $22.1 million of United States revolving credit obligations at July 2, 2004 as a current liability. Because the Facility has a stated maturity date within twelve months of the balance sheet date, the direct borrowings have been classified as current obligations in the July 2, 2004 balance sheet. By comparison at January 2, 2004, $19.4 million of the Facility and $5.3 million of industrial revenue bonds were classified as long-term liabilities because of maturity dates extending one year beyond the balance sheet date. The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on, or refinance, its indebtedness and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject to general economic, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Based upon our current level of operations, the Company believes that the combination of cash generated by operations, available borrowing capacity and the Company’s ability to obtain additional long-term indebtedness in the current state of the secured lending markets, is adequate to finance the Company’s operations for the foreseeable future.

Accounting Policies:

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this document. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, post-retirement benefits, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect management’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see Note 2 in the January 2, 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ from these estimates. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, current economic trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. Our critical accounting policies include:

Product Warranty: In the ordinary course of business, the Company warrants its products against defect in design, materials, and workmanship over various time periods. Warranty reserve and allowance for product returns is established based upon management’s best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The warranty reserve and allowance for product returns is not significant to the financial position of the Company for all periods presented.

Inventory: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in first-out basis for a majority of US inventories and the first-in first-out method for all remaining inventories. The Company has recorded a reserve for obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long Lived Assets: The Company periodically evaluates the realizable value of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, relying on a number of factors including operating results, budgets, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. The Company’s past business acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill, which may result in future impairment expenses. The Company’s other intangible assets which primarily consist of product application software, affects the amount of future period amortization expense. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition: The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Revenue is recognized at the time product is shipped and title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed and collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company establishes allowances to cover anticipated doubtful accounts, sales discounts, product warranty, and returns based upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred totaling $3,296 and $2,837 for the six months ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively, are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Postretirement Benefit Obligation: The Company, in consultation with an actuarial firm specializing in the valuation of postretirement benefit obligations, selects certain actuarial assumptions to base the actuarial valuation of such obligations on, such as the discount rate (interest rate used to determine present value of obligations payable in the future), initial health care cost trend rate, the ultimate cost care trend rate, and mortality tables to determine the expected future mortality of plan participants. To the extent that the actual rates and mortality vary from the assumptions used to determine the present actuarial valuation of these postretirement benefits, additional provision for expense may be necessary.

Income Taxes: Under the requirements of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” we record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has not recognized any income tax benefit related to the income tax losses incurred by its Mexican subsidiary currently because there is uncertainty as to whether that subsidiary will realize those benefits in the future. As the Mexican subsidiary realizes these income tax benefits in the future, a reduction of income taxes will be recognized. Management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, which, if actual experience varies, could result in material adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare and Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the “Act”). The Act expands Medicare primarily by adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligibles starting in 2006. The Act provides employers currently sponsoring prescription drug programs for Medicare-eligibles with a range of options for coordinating with the new government-sponsored program to potentially reduce program costs. Subsequently in May 2004 the FASB issued FSP FAS 106-2 that defines how and when to recognize the effect of the Act upon the Company’s accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit cost during 2004. The Company’s actuarial consultant has advised that the Medicare prescription benefit will have not have a material effect upon the Company’s accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003) “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106 effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company has adopted this statement and the additional disclosure required for its postretirement benefit plans are set forth in Footnote 6 Postretirement Benefits.
