international manufacturers and users of industrial equipment. Headquartered in
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, the 148 year-old business operates seven
manufacturing and six distribution facilities with approximately 900 employees
in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy, and India. The Company has
a network of more than 1,000 select independent and multi-branch distributors
with over 3,000 locations in North America.
The Company's Internet website address is WWW.TBWOODS.COM. The Company makes
available free of charge through its website its annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to
those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such documents are
electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
HISTORY
TB Wood's Incorporated, the Company's principal operating subsidiary which was
founded in 1857, entered the power transmission industry in 1900 and was
incorporated in 1906 in Pennsylvania as T.B. Wood's Sons Company. TB Wood's
Corporation was incorporated in 1995 to acquire the outstanding common stock of
TB Wood's Incorporated. The Company classifies its industrial power transmission
business into two segments, mechanical and electronics.
Since entering the electronics industrial power transmission business segment in
1968 the Company has introduced new electronic products and product line
extensions and currently has 14 active electronic product families. Four of
these introductions have occurred within the last four years. Most of these
include extensions to our line of full-featured electronic variable frequency
drives ("VFD") for controlling the speed of alternating current ("AC") induction
motors, and a new micro sized VFD family. In 2001, the Company introduced a
National Sanitation Foundation certified drive for use in Food Area Splash Zone
applications. The Company has continued its focus on cost-effective VFDs for
industrial Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") applications. Since 1992, the
Company has introduced ten new mechanical products and product line extensions,
including three mechanical belted drive products, four new coupling products,
and gearboxes as a component of its mechanical business segment.
The Company uses acquisitions and strategic alliances to enhance product
offerings, gain access to technology and products, leverage fixed costs, and
extend the Company's global reach. Since 1993 the Company has completed eight
acquisitions. In the electronics industrial power transmission business segment
the Company acquired Plant Engineering Consultants, Inc. (PEC), an established
supplier of integrated electronic control systems for the fibers industry;
Graseby Controls Inc., a supplier of high-frequency VFDs for machine tool
applications; and certain assets of Ambi-Tech Industries, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of electronic motor brakes. In December 1997, the Company acquired
Berges electronic GmbH in Germany, and its subsidiary Berges electronic S.r.l.
in Italy. The Berges companies are well-established VFD developers,
manufacturers and marketers, and are located in two of the most important
machinery markets in Europe. The Company's mechanical industrial power
transmission business acquisitions include several lines of flexible couplings
and variable speed drives from Dana Corporation; certain assets of Deck
Manufacturing, a producer of gear couplings; and Grupo Blaju S.A. de C.V., the
leading Mexican manufacturer and marketer of belted drives.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The industrial power transmission industry provides electronic and mechanical
products used in manufacturing and material processing activities that transfer
controlled power from an electric motor or internal combustion engine to a
machine. The industrial power transmission industry consists of three product
categories: mechanical power transmission components, gearboxes, and electronic
drives. With the introduction of a gearbox product line, the Company now
competes in all three industrial power transmission product categories.
The markets for some of the Company's products are cyclical, generally following
changes in the overall economy. Consequently, during periods of economic
expansion, the Company has experienced increased demand for its products, and
during periods of economic contraction, the Company has experienced decreased
demand for its products. Such changes in the general economy affect the
Company's results of operations in relevant fiscal periods.
3
PRODUCTS
The products manufactured by the Company are classified into two segments for
financial reporting purposes, mechanical and electronics industrial power
transmission businesses. The mechanical business segment includes belted drives,
couplings and gearboxes. The electronics business segment includes electronic
drives and electronic drive systems. Products of these segments are sold to
distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and end users for manufacturing
and commercial applications.
For further information on the Company's operating segments, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnote No. 9 included in this Form 10-K.
Net sales amounts in the following table are in millions of dollars.

ELECTRONIC PRODUCT OFFERING
The Company designs and manufactures AC electronic VFDs, Direct Current ("DC")
electronic motor controllers, and integrated electronic drive systems that are
marketed throughout North America and internationally. These products are used
to control the speed, acceleration and other operating characteristics of
electric motors in manufacturing processes. The Company's standard AC electronic
VFD products, which represent most of its net sales of electronic drive product
offering, are programmable to meet the needs of specific applications with
particular strengths in food processing, materials handling, HVAC, oil
production, textile/fibers, packaging, furniture making, and general machinery
applications. The Company's electronic products are designed to meet both North
American and European electrical standards. In 2004, the Company introduced a
new line of SE1/SW1 "micro drive" products to complement our existing product
line. In addition, considerable investment was made in the development of a new
generation of VFD that was jointly designed by our U. S. and European engineers
to reduce development time and costs and increase adaptability to either market.
The Company's integrated electronic drive systems consist of uniquely configured
AC and/or DC electronic VFDs, programmable logic controllers, in-house designed
custom printed circuit boards, and software. These systems are built in custom
enclosures to meet the requirements of specific applications.
MECHANICAL PRODUCT OFFERING
The Company's mechanical product offering includes a full line of stock and
made-to-order products including
V-belt drives, synchronous drives, variable speed drives, and a broad line of
flexible couplings, as well as hydrostatic drives, clutches, brakes, and
gearboxes. These products are used in a variety of industrial applications to
transmit power from electric motors and internal combustion engines to machines.
The primary markets for these products are the construction, oilfield,
specialized industrial machinery, food processing, material handling, pumps,
compressors, mining, pulp and paper, and agricultural equipment industries.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's products are sold principally throughout North America and to a
lesser extent internationally.
In North America, the Company sells to more than 1,000 authorized independent
and multi-branch industrial distributors with over 3,000 locations that resell
the Company's products to industrial consumers and OEMs. The Company also sells
directly to over 300 OEMs. The Company's marketing alliances include licensing
agreements and distribution agreements with distributors and manufacturers who,
in some cases, market the Company's products under private label agreements. In
North America, the Company has its own technical sales force of more than 40
people and several specialized manufacturers' representatives.
The Company operates central distribution centers in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania;
Reno, Nevada; Stratford, Ontario; and Mexico City, Mexico and regional
distribution centers in Dade City, Florida; Montreal, Quebec; Edmonton, Alberta;
Marienheide, Germany; Naturns, Italy; and Bangalore, India.
The Company's products are manufactured to maintain stock inventories and to
meet forecasts from specific customers. On-time delivery is important. Order
backlogs are generally less than one month's customer shipments and are not
considered to be material in amount.
4
CUSTOMERS
The OEM market is served directly by the Company and through industrial
distributors. The replacement market for the Company's products is served
primarily through industrial distributors. The Company's OEM customers include a
number of Fortune 500 companies. The Company's distributors include, among
others, Motion Industries and Kaman Industrial Technologies, who are among the
largest distributors in the industrial power transmission industry. Management
believes that the Company is one of the leading suppliers of power transmission
products, based on sales volume, to its distributors. The Company's five largest
customers accounted for approximately 33 %, 35% and 40% of the Company's
consolidated revenue for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. One
such customer, an industrial distributor with a large diversified customer base,
accounted for approximately 15%, 18% and 25% of the Company's consolidated
revenue for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
COMPETITION
The industrial power transmission industry is highly competitive. Competition in
the AC and DC electronic drive product categories is based on product
performance, physical size of the product, tolerance for hostile environments,
application support, availability, and price. The Company's competitors in these
electronic product categories include large multi-national companies in North
America, Europe, and Asia, as well as many small, domestic niche manufacturers.
The integrated electronic drive system market is driven by increased demand from
end users for greater productivity and process control. This market includes
sales of products used in the maintenance and replacement of existing systems,
upgrades to existing systems, and new capacity expansion. Competition is based
on process knowledge and engineering, software design, product durability, and
price. Major systems competitors include Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), Rockwell
Automation (Allen Bradley and Reliance Electric), Siemens Corp, and Yaskawa. The
Company competes with several divisions of large industrial companies as well as
many small to mid-sized independent companies in the mechanical product
category. Competition in the mechanical product offering is based on
availability, quality, price, product line breath, engineering, and customer
support. The Company's most significant competitors in the mechanical product
category include Rockwell Automation, Inc. (Dodge), Emerson Electric Co., Martin
Sprocket & Gear, Inc., Rexnord Industries, Inc., and Lovejoy, Inc. Management
believes that there are no significant foreign competitors in the North American
mechanical product market because of a fragmented customer base, prohibitive
freight costs as compared to selling price, and difficult access to existing
distribution channels.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development efforts include the development of new
products, the testing of products, and the enhancement of manufacturing
techniques and processes. The Company's annual expenditures for research and
development (including royalties and payments to third parties) were $2.3
million for 2004, $2.4 million for 2003, and $2.9 million for 2002 which as a
percent of net sales during the last three fiscal years have been 2.3 % for
2004, 2.5% for 2003, and 2.8% for 2002. The Company utilizes its Technology
Center located in its Chambersburg facility to make the research and development
investment more productive by making it easier for engineers to share insights
and collaborate on projects. Electronic drive research is also conducted at its
subsidiary in Italy, and electronic drive system research is conducted at its
electronic systems assembly facility in Chattanooga, TN.
RAW MATERIALS
The Company uses standard purchased components in all of its electronic
products. The Company also purchases specialized components designed by its
engineers. Purchased components include power transistors, capacitors, printed
circuit boards, microprocessors and associated semiconductor integrated
circuits, aluminum heat sinks, plastic enclosures and sheet metal stampings.
These electronic parts and components are purchased from a number of suppliers
and management has taken steps to qualify multiple sources for key items.
The principal raw materials used in the Company's mechanical manufacturing
operations are various types of scrap steel, including pig iron, metal
stampings, castings, forgings and powdered metal components. The Company also
designs, tools and out-sources special components made of aluminum, powdered
metal, and polymers. The Company purchases the materials used in its mechanical
manufacturing operations from a number of suppliers, and management believes
that the availability of its materials is adequate and not significantly
dependent on any one supplier. Scrap metal prices increased substantially
throughout 2004, from an average of $166 per ton during 2003 to $324 per ton for
2004. At December 31, 2004 the price of scrap metal was $420 per ton compared to
$190 per ton a year earlier. In addition, other steel-based materials increased
in cost during 2004. As a result, the Company implemented three price increases
for its mechanical products during 2004 to partially offset these rapidly
escalating costs.
5
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company owns patents relating to its coupling, composite, synchronous drive,
open belted variable speed drive, electronic drive, and clutch/brake product
lines. The Company also owns several patents relating to the design of its
products. From time to time, the Company will grant licenses to others to use
certain of its patents and will obtain licenses under the patents of others. In
addition, the Company owns or has the right to use, registered United States
trademarks for the following principal products: Sure-Flex(R), Formflex(R),
Ultra-V(R), Roto-Cone(R), Var-A-ConeTM, True TubeTM, AmbiTech(TM), E-trAC(R),
Ultracon(R), FiberlinkTM, Dura-Flex(R), Disc-O-Torque(R), E-FLOW(R), E-Trol(R),
IMD(R), NLS(R), Petro-trAC(R), Roto-Cam(R), S-trAC(R), Sure-Grip(R), Volkman(R),
All-Pro(R), Superstart(R), Truetube(R), Wood's@Work(R), QT Power Chain(R),
Win-Trac(R) and PDA-Trac(R).
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2004 the Company employed approximately 900 people. The
National Metal Workers' Union of Mexico represents approximately 160 production
employees in the Company's Mexican facilities pursuant to collective bargaining
agreements expiring in February 2006. At its Stratford, Ontario facility five
employees are represented by the United Steelworkers of America pursuant to a
collective bargaining agreement that expires in January 2007. The Company offers
training programs to improve employees' operating, management and team-building
skills.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
As with most industrial companies, the Company's operations and properties are
required to comply with, and are subject to liability under federal, state,
local, and foreign laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to the use,
storage, handling, generation, treatment, emission, release, discharge, and
disposal of certain materials, substances, and wastes. The nature of the
Company's operations exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to
environmental matters and there can be no assurance that material costs will not
be incurred in connection with such liabilities or claims.
When the Company acquired the Mt. Pleasant Facility from Dana Corporation in
1993, the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") included an
environmental indemnity provision. Pursuant to this provision, Dana Corporation
agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to any environmental liabilities to
the extent they arose out of environmental conditions first occurring on or
before the closing date, including the presence or release of any hazardous
substances at, in, or under the Mt. Pleasant Facility and with respect to the
identification of the Mt. Pleasant Facility on the Michigan list of inactive
hazardous waste sites. The Dana Corporation is conducting a limited remediation
with respect to volatile organic compounds found in soils and groundwater. The
Company has not been notified by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources or
any other governmental agency or person that it has any responsibility for
investigating or remediating such environmental conditions. Although the Company
has no reason to believe Dana Corporation cannot fulfill its remediation and
indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, if Dana
Corporation is unable to fulfill such commitments, the Company may incur
additional costs.
The Company believes that its facilities are in substantial compliance with
current regulatory standards applicable to air emissions under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 ("CAAA"). At this time, the Company cannot estimate when
other new air standards will be imposed or what technologies or changes in
processes the Company may have to install or undertake to achieve compliance
with any applicable new requirements at its facilities. The Company has no
reason to believe that such expenditures are likely to be material. Similarly,
based upon the Company's experience to date, the Company believes that the
future cost of currently anticipated compliance with existing environmental laws
relating to wastewater, hazardous waste, and employee and community
right-to-know should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.
GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
See footnote 9 "Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial
statements for information on sales and long lived assets by geographical area.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In January 2005, the Company entered into a new secured lending arrangement
which is more fully described in footnote 4 "Debt" to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company continues to evaluate its operating locations to ensure that it can
achieve the maximum amount of efficiencies. As noted below, the Company has
closed facilities that it believed were no longer necessary and consolidated the
manufacturing operations of its Stratford, Ontario, Canada ("Stratford"), Mexico
City, Mexico and Trenton, Tennessee facility ("Trenton") to other locations,
principally its San Luis Potosi, Mexico facility where it has
6
recently enhanced its manufacturing capabilities in a new state of the art
manufacturing facility. The Company has also been fortunate to recruit and hire
two new executives with substantial experience in the manufacturing and
distribution industries. The Company believes that it has the manufacturing
capabilities and geographic presence, and is continuing to build its management
team, to be successful in the future.
In September 2004, the Company closed its manufacturing plant located in Trenton
as part of its cost reduction plan for its Mechanical Division. Substantially
all of the equipment used in the operations of the Trenton facility has been
transferred to other machining facilities operated by the Company. Management
believes this relocation will have a positive competitive effect on the
Company's ability to produce certain of its Mechanical Division product
offerings. Costs incurred in connection with this plant shutdown approximated
$1.5 million and were principally recognized during the second half of 2004.
These costs primarily consisted of "stay-pay" incentives, equipment relocation
expenses, and additional costs associated with the relocation of operations,
including training and technical assistance for new employees. At this time,
operations have normalized, and the Company does not foresee any significant
future costs associated with the Trenton plant closure.
In April 2004, the Company appointed William T. Fejes, Jr. President and Chief
Executive Officer and a Company director. Upon Mr. Fejes' employment, James R.
Swenson was appointed to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.
In November 2003, Michael L. Hurt, the Company's former President and Chief
Executive Officer retired from the Company and James R. Swenson, a director of
the Company was appointed Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. In
September 2003, Thomas F. Tatarczuch, the Company's former Vice President,
Finance retired from the Company and Joseph C. Horvath was appointed as Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Also during 2003 the Company relocated its manufacturing operations formerly
conducted in Mexico City to San Luis Potosi, Mexico. It continues to maintain
its finished goods warehouse, sales, and customer service operations for the
Latin American market in Mexico City. Certain of the manufacturing activities
associated with the Mexico City operations have been outsourced to local
suppliers. The closure costs of the Mexico City operations approximated
$250,000.
In January 2002, the Company closed its manufacturing operations located in
Stratford, which affected 27 employees. The Company continues to maintain its
distribution facility at that location to service the Canadian marketplace. The
Company recorded $275,000 of restructuring charges, including severance, related
to this closing during the First Quarter of fiscal 2002.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a worldwide manufacturer of mechanical and electronic products
used in the process of power transmission for industrial and other commercial
applications. Fiscal year 2004 reflected a significant rebound in the Company's
marketplace, particularly for its Mechanical Division products, following a
prolonged slump in the industrial markets that began in the second half of 2000.
At the same time, the Company experienced significant volatility and upward cost
pressure for its primary raw materials (scrap steel) and ancillary steel-based
components used in the manufacture of these products, incurring approximately
$1.7 million of additional scrap metal costs compared to the preceding year.
The Company continued to address cost reduction initiatives and alignment of its
production capacity with market needs. The closure cost of the Company's Trenton
facility approximated $1.5 million in 2004, but is expected to have a payback of
less than two years through utilization of lower cost facilities and elimination
of excess overhead costs. Management remains focused on ways to better utilize
the Company's worldwide productive capacity as well as leverage its technical
capabilities to add more value to the Company's products and services. In 2004,
the Company implemented measures designed to emphasize "lean" manufacturing
practices on a global basis, and participation by a majority of Company
employees is expected in 2005.

The following tables, derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements, present selected elements of the Company's operating results, and
the changes thereto, for each of the two most recent years compared to the
results for the immediately preceding year. Fiscal 2004 represents a 52 week
year, while fiscal 2003 represents a 53 week year, and 2002 was a 52 week year.

The improvement in general economic conditions and corresponding increased
demand for its Mechanical Division products helped the Company experience a $5.1
million increase in revenues in 2004. The increased demand enabled the Company
to increase prices in 2004, contributing approximately $3.4 million to increased
revenues for the year. In addition, the continued strengthening of the Euro, and
to a lesser extent, the Canadian dollar, contributed approximately $1.8 million
of the increased revenues, principally in the Company's Electronics Business.
Volume was relatively flat with higher Mechanical Products sales being offset by
lower demand for Electronics Products. Overall volume was affected by the
inventory management practices of the Company's largest distribution customer
who reduced its inventories of the Company's products approximately $5.0 million
during 2004, and reduced its total purchases approximately $0.5 million compared
to the prior year.
Mechanical Business sales increased by $5.4 million in 2004 due to $2.5 million
of improved volume, $2.5 million from price increases, and $0.4 million of
favorable currency fluctuation. The increased Mechanical Division revenues were
offset by a slight decline in total Electronics Division revenues. The
Electronics Division reported lower sales volumes totaling approximately $2.6
million, offset by $0.9 million of price increases and $1.4 million of favorable
currency translation.
Overall gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.3 % in 2004 from
30.5 % in the previous year as the price increases implemented in 2004 ($3.4
million) and favorable currency fluctuations on gross profits ($0.6 million)
were offset by sharply increased manufacturing costs. This was particularly true
in the Company's Mechanical Products business. During 2004, in addition to the
incremental costs associated with higher volumes, the Company experienced
10
significant raw material cost increases, including $1.7 million of scrap iron
costs associated with the Company's foundry operations. In addition,
approximately $1.5 million in non-recurring costs were incurred in connection
with the closure of the Company's Trenton, Tennessee manufacturing facility.
Gross profits of the Mechanical Business declined approximately $1.5 million,
from 29.8% of sales in 2003 to 25.0% of sales in 2004, principally due to
increases in raw material costs and the non-recurring costs described above and
the $0.7 million effect of lower production levels, particularly in the second
half of the year, as compared to the prior year. The Electronic Business gross
profit declined slightly from 31.5% of sales in 2003 to 31.2% of sales in 2004,
or $0.2 million, as favorable currency fluctuations and nominal price increases
were more than offset by reduced fixed cost absorption as a result of reduced
sales and related production volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $0.3 million in 2004
compared to the previous fiscal year. Due to increased revenue levels, the above
decline in these costs resulted in selling, general and administrative expenses
being 27.9% of sales in 2004 compared to 29.7% of sales in 2003. Reasons
contributing to this decline include the recognition of approximately $1.0
million of costs associated with the change in the Company's chief executive and
financial officers and recognition of $0.5 million of credit losses related to
business activities in Latin America during the second half of fiscal 2003. The
non-recurrence of these costs in 2004 was offset in part by higher salary and
benefit costs for the Company's administrative force and increased freight costs
related to higher Mechanical products volume and fuel price increases. In
addition, in 2004 the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million of
non-recurring costs associated with restructuring its corporate sales and
marketing structure.
In 2004, the Company continued to take steps to maintain spending for employee
and retiree healthcare at affordable levels. In connection with these efforts,
as communicated to retirees in the fourth quarter of 2004, increased insurance
costs effective with the 2005 plan enrollment would be passed on to retirees. As
a result, a substantial number of the retirees opted to participate in an
insurance program independent of the Company's offering and for which the
Company bears no future funding obligation. Accordingly, the remaining
accumulated plan benefit obligation, as determined by the plan's actuary, was
substantially reduced from $2.6 million at December 31, 2003 to $0.4 million at
December 31, 2004 and the plan was considered to be terminated in all material
respects. Therefore, the Company has recognized a pre-tax gain aggregating $9.26
million, equivalent to the reduction in the accumulated plan benefit obligation
together with the recognition of unrecognized prior service benefits and
actuarial net gains arising from similar actions taken in previous years. This
item is presented as a non-recurring gain in the Company's income statement for
the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company also recorded $3.61 million
deferred tax expense arising from the reduction of a previously recognized
deferred tax asset associated with these benefits, resulting in a $1.09 increase
in earnings per share in 2004 associated with the curtailment gain.
Interest expense is the primary component of other expenses and was $1.6 million
for 2004, an increase of $0.6 million compared to 2003. This increase reflects
higher effective interest rates, increased borrowings to fund operating costs,
and increased amortization of debt agreement costs incurred in connection with a
loan amendment taking place in the first quarter of 2004. As more fully
described in Note 4 "Debt" to the Company's consolidated financial statements,
effective, January 7, 2005 the Company refinanced its secured revolving credit
agreement extending its term for two years. The new agreement carries higher
interest rates.
The Company's effective tax rate approximated the statutory rate in 2004 and
income tax expense increased to $2.4 million from $0.3 million in the prior year
when the Company incurred income tax expense associated with the profitability
of operations in Europe and Canada. Start up costs and losses associated with
Mexico manufacturing facility during both 2004 and 2003 have not provided an
income tax benefit, but are available to be carried forward and offset future
income in Mexico.
After taking into consideration all of the above matters, net income for 2004
was $4.6 million, or $0.89 per share on both a basic and diluted basis. This
compares to a net loss for 2003 of $(0.4) million, or $(0.07) per share.

Throughout most of 2003 the Company's revenues continued to reflect the impact
of the slowdown in the U.S. industrial economy that began in the second half of
fiscal 2000. The fourth quarter of 2003 was the first quarter since the year
2000 that the Company was able to report a year over year increase in quarterly
revenues. In addition to the effect of general economic conditions on the
Company's revenues, the timing of the buying patterns and the inventory
management practices of the Company's major customers significantly affected the
Company's revenues. Fluctuations in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro,
significantly affected pricing and overall revenue levels, especially with
respect to the Company's Electronics Business.
Mechanical Business sales decline of $7.2 million was driven by the continued
general industrial slowdown. Sales volume declines resulted in a $7.7 million
decline in mechanical revenues, principally as a result of a $6.9 million
decline in sales to the Company's largest customer. This was offset by $0.5
million of increased revenues associated with positive currency fluctuations.
Electronic Business sales declined $0.8 million due to $3.3 million decline in
volume and/or of pricing. Electronic revenues from its major customer decreased
$3.4 million in 2003. These declines were largely offset by favorable currency
fluctuations of $2.5 million, associated principally with the Company's European
operations.
Overall gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 30.5% from 31.8% due
primarily to the lower absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses as a result of
the lower level of manufacturing operations caused by lower sales volume. Gross
profit as a percent of net sales decreased in both the Mechanical and
Electronics businesses due to the changes in volume and pricing described above,
together with the affect of lower absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses
related to the lower level of manufacturing operations. This was particularly
true in the Company's Mechanical Business. Gross profits of the Mechanical
Business declined approximately $2.1 million principally due to actual volume
declines, while the Electronic Business gross profit declined $1.8 million,
principally reflecting ongoing
12
market pressure on pricing. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations
favorably impacted Mechanical and Electronics business gross profits by
approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The remaining $0.8
million decline in gross profits was related to the unfavorable impact of fixed
cost absorption attributable to lower sales volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined in 2003 compared to 2002
due to the reduced selling costs associated with lower sales volume, lower
headcount, and savings associated with the termination of the Company's
supplemental retirement program for senior management. These savings were
partially offset by approximately $1.0 million of costs related to the
retirements of the then serving CEO and CFO in the second half of 2003 and $0.5
million of credit losses related to business activities in Latin America.
Interest expense is the primary component of other expenses and was $1.0 million
for 2003, an increase of $0.1 million compared to 2002. This reflects the stable
and historically low interest rate levels experienced throughout 2003.
Despite recognizing a consolidated loss before income taxes, the Company
incurred $0.3 million of income tax expense associated with the profitability of
operations in Europe and Canada. As a result of the net operating loss for
United States income tax purposes, the Company is eligible to receive a refund
of United States income taxes paid in prior years. Start up costs and losses
associated with Mexico manufacturing facility during both 2003 and 2002 have not
provided an income tax benefit, but are available to be carried forward and
offset future income in Mexico.
Net loss for 2003 was $(0.4) million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a net
loss of $(1.1) million, or ($0.20) per share in 2002. The results of operations
for 2002 reflect a $2.8 million charge, net of tax benefits, to recognize the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting associated with the adoption of a
new accounting principle for the impairment of goodwill. As a result of adopting
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" the Company recognized an impairment charge in the amount of
$4.5 million ($2.8 million net of income taxes) related to the goodwill
associated with its North American Electronics reporting unit during 2002. This
charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
as described by SFAS 142. No similar charges were recorded during 2003.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial statements and
results of operations are based upon the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements included as part of this document. The preparation of these
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 to the attached
Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of our accounting policies require
the application of significant judgement 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 judgements 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 obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory equal to the
difference between the cost of inventory and the
13
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.
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.

At December 31, 2004 current and long-term debt totaled $24.3 million, compared
to $25.4 million at January 2, 2004, and was comprised of $18.2 million in
revolving debt under a secured revolving credit facility, $5.3 million in
tax-exempt revenue bonds, $0.7 million of a foreign revolving and term credit
and $0.1 million of other long-term financing. The Company's effective borrowing
rate at December 31, 2004 for its long-term obligations was approximately 4.58%.
On January 7, 2005, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the
"Agreement") that provides for up to an $18.3 million revolving line of credit
and two term loans (Term Loan A and Term Loan B) totaling $13.0 million. The
proceeds were used to retire amounts outstanding under the Company's outstanding
revolving line of credit as well as fund existing letters of credit that support
$5.3 million of industrial revenue bonds and certain obligations under
14
various self-insured workers compensation insurance policies. The term of the
Agreement is two years and the loans are secured by substantially all of the
Company's domestic assets and pledges of 65% of the outstanding stock of the
Company's Canadian, German and Mexican subsidiaries. The revolving credit
portion of the Agreement is governed by a borrowing base formula and bears a
variable interest of LIBOR plus 3.5%. The Term Loans, which are repayable in
monthly principal installments totaling $0.2 million, bear interest at a
variable rate of LIBOR plus 4.5%. The average borrowing rate under the Company's
revolving line of credit arrangement in 2004 was 5.38%. Had the Agreement been
in place at December 31, 2004, the remaining borrowing capacity available to the
Company would have been approximately $2.4 million, after taking into
consideration the costs of the transaction.
The Agreement contains restrictive financial covenants that require the Company
to comply with certain financial tests including, among other things,
maintaining minimum tangible net worth, having a minimum earnings before
interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and meeting
certain specified leverage and operating ratios, all as defined in the
Agreement. The Agreement also contains other restrictive covenants that restrict
outside investments, capital expenditures, and dividends. While the Company was
in compliance with the debt covenants at December 31, 2004, the limitation on
dividends is such that the second quarter dividend for 2005 would be the
earliest dividend that could be declared.
The Company has generated positive cash flows from operations in each of the
last five years. During 2004, the Company generated $4.2 million cash from
operating activities, which compares to $2.6 million for the same period in the
prior year. The primary reason for this fluctuation was reduced investment in
net operating assets offset by lower cash generated by operating results in 2004
compared to 2003. In 2004 the Company targeted inventory reduction as a primary
objective following the successful transition of production at its closed
Trenton facility to other manufacturing operations. The Company's total working
capital was $15.4 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $24.8 million on
January 2, 2004. This reduction was caused by the classification of $7.6 million
of revolving indebtedness as a current liability under the terms of the
Agreement, together with the reduced investment in operating assets referred to
above
The Company used $2.7 million and $2.9 million for investing activities during
the years ended December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, respectively. This
spending was primarily for capital expenditures of $2.0 million in 2004 and $2.2
million in 2003. The Company's capital investments have been at maintenance
levels to support new product introductions, improve product quality, and reduce
operating costs. The Company believes that the $2.6 million annual capital
expenditure level permitted by its new borrowing agreement will be sufficient to
fund targeted investment projects for 2005. The amount of commitments for
capital expenditures at December 31, 2004 was not significant.
Cash used in financing activities increased to $2.5 million in 2004 compared to
$0.9 million in the prior year as the Company reduced amounts borrowed under its
revolving credit line by approximately $1.1 million due to lower working capital
financing needs. In 2003, the Company increased its borrowings by approximately
$1.7 million to finance its operations, including the funding of the investment
in inventory needed to support the transition of certain manufacturing
activities. In addition, 2003 required additional financing to support a stock
repurchase and higher level of dividends. Dividends paid in 2004 were $1.4
million compared to dividends paid in 2003 of $1.9 million. In the fourth
quarter of 2004, the Company suspended its dividend pending the negotiation of
its new credit facility, which contains certain terms that restrict future
dividends. 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 new revolving credit and term-loan agreement.
The effects of foreign currency translations lessened during 2004 compared to
2003 as the United States dollar stabilized over most of the year compared to
the prior year, particularly relative to values of the Euro and the Canadian
dollar. The effect of changes in foreign currency rates increased cash by $0.8
million in 2004 compared to $1.6 million in 2003 which reflected significant
dollar declines. As a result of all of the above items, the Company experienced
a net decrease of cash of $0.2 million in 2004 compared to an increase in cash
of $0.4 million in the prior year. The Company believes that the combination of
cash generated by operations and available borrowing capacity is adequate to
finance the Company's operations for the foreseeable future.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 109-1 "Application of
FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on
Qualifying Production Activities Provided by the American Job Creations Act of
2004" effective upon issuance. This FSP provides guidance on the application of
FASB Statement No. 109 to the provision within the American Job Creations Act of
2004 (the "Act") that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The
FSP states that the manufacturers' deduction provided for under the Act should
be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109 and not
as a tax rate reduction. This FSP had
15
no effect upon the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2004 and the
Company is not yet able to determine the effect it will have in future years
because the effect is dependent upon the Company qualifying for this deduction.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FS) FAS 109-2 "Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the
American Job Creations Act of 2004" effective upon issuance. This FSP provides
guidance on the application of a special limited-time dividends received
deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer.
Because of the effective foreign income tax rates of countries from which
foreign earnings might be repatriated, this provision is not expected to provide
any benefit to the Company and as a result the Company does not believe it will
have any effect upon its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" a revision of FASB Statement No. 123
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." The effective date of this revised
accounting standard is for the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. In fiscal 2003 the Company adopted FASB Statement
No. 123 to account for stock-based compensation cost using the fair value
method. As the Company has already adopted FASB Statement No. 123 the only
effects of the revised Statement No. 123 upon the Company will be expanded
disclosure related to its stock based compensation plan. The Company intends to
adopt the revised Statement No. 123 effective for its interim reporting period
that will begin in July 2005.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 151
"Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter
4" to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This Statement is
effective for inventory cost incurred during fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005 with earlier application permitted for costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after the date of the issuance of this Statement. The Statement
introduces the concept of "normal capacity" and requires the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory based upon the normal capacity of the
production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in
the period in which they are incurred. The Company is not yet able to determine
the effect of this Statement upon its consolidated financial statements because
the impact is dependent upon production levels attained during a given financial
reporting period compared to the normal production levels that could have been
attained if there was sufficient customer demand. The Company intends to adopt
this statement in fiscal 2006.
In January 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 106-1, "Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare 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 cost. 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 costs during 2004. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of this statement will have any impact upon the
Company's consolidated financial statements as it has been advised by its
actuarial consultant that the prescription benefit provided by the Company's
postretirement medical benefit plan is not actuarially equivalent to the new
Medicare prescription drug benefit.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Certain information included or incorporated by reference in this document may
be deemed to be "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or
developments that the Company intends, expects, projects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. Such
statements are characterized by terminology such as "believe," "anticipate,"
"should," "intend," "plan," "will," "expects," "estimates," "projects,"
"positioned," "strategy," and similar expressions. These statements are based on
assumptions and assessments made by the Company's management in light of its
experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These
forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to continuation of the Company's longstanding
relationships with major customers, the Company's ability to integrate acquired
businesses into its operations and realize planned synergies, the extent to
which acquired businesses are able to meet the Company's expectations and
operate profitably, ability to obtain financing, changes in regulations that
could affect demand for products, and unanticipated developments that could
occur with respect to contingencies such as environmental matters and
litigation. In addition the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that
affect the manufacturing sector generally, including, but not limited to,
economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the
Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. Any such forward
looking statements are not guarantees of future performances and actual results,
developments and business decisions may
16
differ from those envisaged by such forward looking statements. The Company
disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are
expressly qualified by the foregoing.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the potential change in an asset's or financial instrument's
value caused, for example, by fluctuations in interest and currency exchange
rates. The Company's primary market risk exposures are interest rate and
unfavorable movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the
Euro, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. Monitoring and managing these risks is a
continual process carried out by senior management. Market risk is managed based
on an ongoing assessment of trends in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
and economic developments, giving consideration to possible effects on both
total return and reported earnings. The Company's financial advisors, both
internal and external, provide ongoing advice regarding trends that affect
management's assessment.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The effective interest rate payable on the Company's borrowings is influenced by
the Company's operating performance and degree of leverage, as well as by
actions of the Federal Reserve Bank Board in establishing from time to time the
Federal Funds Interest Rate that underlies the cost of funds borrowed by the
Company. In 2004, as a response to improved economic conditions, the Federal
Reserve took several actions to increase interest rates following a number of
reductions in the Federal Funds Interest Rate in an effort to stimulate the U.S.
economy during 2003 and 2002. As a result the effective interest rate that the
Company paid on its borrowings under its former credit facility increased in
2004, contributing to a corresponding increase in interest expense. To the
extent that the Federal Reserve continues to increase the Federal Funds Interest
Rate in the future, the effective interest rate on substantially all of the
Company's borrowing facilities will increase, and the Company's interest expense
will increase accordingly if borrowing levels remain constant. Under the
Company's prior borrowing agreement, the Company agreed to an average increase
of 1.2% in the base rate that it will pay on borrowed funds effective January
2005. Based on the balance outstanding under the Company's revolving credit
facility at December 31, 2004, a 1% change in the effective interest rate would
have changed interest expense by $0.2 million.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The Company has operations in several foreign countries, and approximately $27.3
million of the Company's revenue from continuing operations was derived from the
Company's operations outside the United States. Accordingly, exposure exists to
potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rates. The Company has not
used foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the risk of change in foreign
currency exchange rates except with regard to the Canadian dollar in 2003. No
foreign exchange forward contracts were entered into during 2004.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars
and accordingly, changes in the exchange rates between Company subsidiaries'
local currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of such
subsidiaries financial results into U.S. dollars for the purposes of reporting
the consolidated financial results. The Company does not hedge these matters
because cash flows from international operations are generally re-invested
locally. It is estimated that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would
impact reported net income by less than $0.1 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of TB Wood's Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TB Wood's
Corporation and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2004 and January
2, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TB Wood's
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited schedule II for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004. In our opinion, this schedule when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information therein.

TB WOOD'S CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
TB Wood's Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively "Wood's" or the "Company")
is an established designer, manufacturer, and marketer of electronic and
mechanical industrial power transmission products that are sold to distributors,
domestic and international Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), and end
users of industrial equipment. Principal products of the Company include
electronic drives, integrated electronic drive systems, mechanical belted
drives, and flexible couplings. The Company has operations in the United States,
Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy and India. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of TB Wood's Corporation, its wholly
owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint venture. All inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The Company's 52/53-week fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to the last day
of December. Fiscal year 2002, a 52 week fiscal year, ended on December 27,
2002, fiscal year 2003, a 53 week fiscal year, ended on January 2, 2004 and
fiscal year 2004, a 52 week fiscal year, ended on December 31, 2004. Effective
in 2005 the Company is changing to a calendar fiscal year ending on December 31.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from selected
authorized industrial distributors who resell the Company's products to OEMs and
end users for replacement parts. Accounts receivable potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk. Credit is extended based on evaluation
of a customer's financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.
Accounts receivable are due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from
the customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding
longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company
determines its allowances considering a number of factors, including the length
of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss
history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligations to the Company,
and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The
Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover
any potential losses on its credit risk exposure. The Company writes off
accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently
received on such receivables are credited to the allowances for doubtful
accounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories located in the United States are primarily stated at the lower of
cost or market primarily using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Market is
defined as net realizable value. Cost includes raw materials, direct labor, and
manufacturing overhead. Approximately 74% and 67% of total inventories at
December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, respectively, were valued using the LIFO
method. In the year ended December 31, 2004 because of an increase in
inventories in the United States and higher raw material costs for those
inventories, the LIFO reserve increased by $749, which increased the Cost of
Goods Sold by the same amount. In the year ended January 2, 2004 the LIFO
reserve increased by $179 which increased the Cost of Goods Sold by the same
amount. Inventories for foreign operations are stated at the lower of cost or
market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the 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.
24
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates its
property, plant, and equipment principally using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment under capital leases is
depreciated over the asset's estimated useful life and is included in machinery
and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred,
while major renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and
equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is reflected in income. The depreciable lives of the major classes of
property, plant and equipment are summarized as follows:
Asset Type Lives
-------------------------- -------------
Machinery and equipment 3 - 15 years
Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years
LONG-LIVED ASSETS, INCLUDING GOODWILL
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that 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 the assets to the expected future net cash
flows generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value.
Effective at the beginning of its fiscal year 2002 the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Identifiable Intangible Assets" which requires that goodwill and other
intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life will no longer be amortized
but will be subject to an annual impairment test. As a result of adopting SFAS
No. 142, the Company no longer records goodwill amortization. During the first
quarter of 2002, the Company performed its first annual impairment tests that
indicated impairment of goodwill of the North American Electronics reporting
unit. As a result, the second phase of the tests required by SFAS No. 142 on a
fair value approach for the North American Electronics reporting unit was
performed. This second phase of the impairment evaluation determined that
impairment had occurred, and as a result an impairment loss of $4,453 ($2,846
net of income taxes) was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 as prescribed by SFAS
No. 142. A reconciliation of the Goodwill account is as follows:
Mechanical Electronics Total
------------ ------------ ------------
Goodwill, balance at December 27, 2002 $ 3,389 $ 1,783 $ 5,172
Addition due to earn out payments 114 - 114
Change due to foreign currency translation - 368 368
------------ ------------ ------------
Goodwill, balance at January 2, 2004 3,503 2,151 5,654
Addition due to earn out payments 94 - 94
Adjustment for impairment - (24) (24)
Change due to foreign currency translation - 178 178
------------ ------------ ------------
Goodwill, balance at December 31, 2004 $ 3,597 $ 2,305 $ 5,902
============ ============ ============
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 in the delivery of products to customers were $6,747, $5,907 and $6,594
for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and are included as a component of
selling, general and administrative expenses.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 33%, 35%, and
40% of net sales for fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Of these
customers, one accounted for approximately 15%, 18%, and 25% of net sales for
2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The loss of one or more of these customers
could have an adverse effect
25
on the Company's performance and operations. Foreign and export sales accounted
for 27%, 29%, and 25% of total sales in fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively.
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 are 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.
SELF-INSURANCE
Beginning in fiscal 2001, the Company's workers' compensation insurance policies
have the potential for retrospective premium adjustments based upon actual
claims incurred. Insurance administrators assist the Company in estimating the
fully developed workers' compensation liability insurance reserves that are
accrued by the Company. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has
been made for all incurred claims. At December 31, 2004, the Company's bank had
issued letters of credit totaling $1,677 to cover incurred but unpaid claims and
other costs related to its workers' compensation liability.
POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS OBLIGATIONS
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 the Company's post retirement
benefit obligation, 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 care cost 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" and SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Translation adjustments are included
in other comprehensive income. All balance sheet accounts of foreign
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at
the balance sheet date. Statement of operations items are translated at the
average foreign currency exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency
translation adjustment is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). The Company has no other components of comprehensive income (loss).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or
liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable, approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity of
the instruments. The fair value of short-term and long-term debt amounts
approximate their carrying value and are based on their effective interest rates
compared to current market rates.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COST
Research and development costs consist substantially of projects related to new
product development within the electronics business and are expensed as
incurred. Total research and development costs were $2,323 in 2004, $2,441 in
2003, and $2,879 in 2002.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Accounting 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 Company selected the modified prospective
method of accounting for this cost. For fiscal 2002 the Company used the
intrinsic value method as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
to account for the cost of stock based compensation. No stock-based employee
compensation costs were recorded in fiscal 2002 as all options granted had
exercise prices which equaled or exceeded market price as of the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income

INCOME TAXES
The Company records 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.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
weighted average shares outstanding. No dilution for any potentially dilutive
securities is included in basic EPS. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by weighted average shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding. The computation of weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal
years 2004, 2003, and 2002 is as follows:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Common shares outstanding for basic EPS 5,164 5,180 5,232
Shares issued upon assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options 2 - -
------------ ------------ ------------
Weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding for diluted EPS 5,166 5,180 5,232
============ ============ ============
Outstanding options of 678,451, 874,050 and 683,000 shares for fiscal 2004, 2003
and 2002, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of weighted average
shares outstanding because they are anti-dilutive.
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 amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures 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.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" a revision of FASB Statement No. 123
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." The effective date of this revised
accounting standard is for the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. In
27
fiscal 2003 the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123 to account for
stock-based compensation cost using the fair value method. As the Company has
already adopted FASB Statement No. 123 the only effects of the revised Statement
No. 123 upon the Company will be expanded disclosure related to its stock based
compensation plan. The Company intends to adopt the revised Statement No. 123
effective for its interim reporting period that will begin in July 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FS) FAS 109-2 "Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the
American Job Creations Act of 2004" effective upon issuance. This FSP provides
guidance on the application of a special limited-time dividends received
deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer.
Because of the effective foreign income tax rates of countries from which
foreign earnings might be repatriated, this provision is not expected to provide
any benefit to the Company and as a result the Company does not believe it will
have any effect upon its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 109-1 "Application of
FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on
Qualifying Production Activities Provided by the American Job Creations Act of
2004" effective upon issuance. This FSP provides guidance on the application of
FASB Statement No. 109 to the provision within the American Job Creations Act of
2004 (the "Act") that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The
FSP states that the manufacturers' deduction provided for under the Act should
be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109 and not
as a tax rate reduction. This FSP had no effect upon the Company's consolidated
financial statements for 2004 and the Company is not yet able to determine the
effect it will have in future years because the effect is dependent upon the
Company qualifying for this deduction.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 151
"Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter
4" to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This Statement is
effective for inventory cost incurred during fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005 with earlier application permitted for costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after the date of the issuance of this Statement. The Statement
introduces the concept of "normal capacity" and requires the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory based upon the normal capacity of the
production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in
the period in which they are incurred. The Company is not yet able to determine
the effect of this Statement upon its consolidated financial statements because
the impact is dependent upon production levels attained during a given financial
reporting period compared to the normal production levels that could have been
attained if there was sufficient customer demand. The Company intends to adopt
this statement in fiscal 2006.
In January 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 106-1, "Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare 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 cost. 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 costs during 2004. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of this statement will have any impact upon the
Company's consolidated financial statements as it has been advised by its
actuarial consultant that the prescription benefit provided by the Company's
postretirement medical benefit plan is not actuarially equivalent to the new
Medicare prescription drug benefit.

4. DEBT
Debt obligations at December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 were as follows:
2004 2003
------------ ------------
United States revolving lines of credit $ 18,200 $ 19,400
European Term Loan and Revolving Loan 660 545
Equipment loans 163 189

------------ ------------
24,313 25,424
Less current maturities (7,605) (53)
------------ ------------
$ 16,708 $ 25,371
============ ============
At December 31, 2004 the Company had borrowed $18.2 million under a $36 million
revolving credit agreement secured by substantially all of the Company's
domestic assets and scheduled to mature on January 10, 2005 The average
borrowing rate under the Company's revolving line of credit arrangement in 2004
and 2003 was 5.38% and 4.13% respectively.
On January 7, 2005, the Company entered into a new Loan and Security Agreement
(the "Agreement") that provides for up to an $18.3 million revolving line of
credit and two term loans (Term Loan A and Term Loan B) totaling $13.0 million.
The proceeds were used to retire its outstanding United States revolving line of
credit as well as fund existing letters of credit that support $5.3 million in
outstanding industrial revenue bonds and certain obligations totaling $1.7
million under various self-insured workers compensation insurance policies that
were outstanding at December 31, 2004. The term of the Agreement is two years,
and the loans are secured by substantially all of the Company's domestic assets
and pledges of 65% of the outstanding stock of the Company's Canadian, German
and Mexican subsidiaries. The revolving credit portion of the Agreement is
governed by a borrowing base formula and is subject to a lock-box arrangement;
accordingly the revolving loan balance is presented as a current liability in
the consolidated balance sheet. Had the Agreement been in place at December 31,
2004, the remaining borrowing capacity available to the Company would have been
approximately $2.4 million, after taking into consideration the costs of the
transaction. The interest rate for the revolving line of credit varies with
LIBOR, plus 3.5%. The interest rate for the Term Loans, which are repayable in
monthly principal installments totaling $0.2 million, varies with LIBOR, plus
4.5%.
The Agreement contains restrictive financial covenants that require the Company
to comply with certain financial tests including, among other things,
maintaining minimum tangible net worth, having a minimum earnings before
interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and meeting
certain specified leverage and operating ratios, all as defined. The Agreement
also contains other restrictive covenants that restrict outside investments,
capital expenditures, and dividends. While the Company is in compliance with the
debt covenants at December 31, 2004, the limitation on dividends is such that
the second quarter dividend for 2005 would be the earliest dividend that could
be declared.
In addition to the above facility, $0.7 million at December 31, 2004 and $0.6
million at January 2, 2004 were outstanding under the terms of an unsecured
revolving credit facility and a term loan, each borrowed by the Company's
Italian subsidiary. Interest only was payable on the term loan during 2004 and
2003 and principal repayment will commence beginning in 2005. The rates for
these loans ranged from 1.3% to 2.6%.
In February 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $3.0 million by issuing
Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds under the authority of the Industrial
Development Corporation City of San Marcos, bearing variable interest as
29
set by the Industrial Development Corporation City of San Marcos (1.83% at
December 31, 2004), maturing April 2024. The bonds were issued to finance a new
production facility for the mechanical division.
In April 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $2.3 million by issuing
Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds under the authority of the Industrial Revenue
Board of the City of Chattanooga, bearing variable interest as set by the
Industrial Revenue Board of the City of Chattanooga (1.83% at December 31, 2004)
maturing April 2022. The bonds were issued to finance a new production facility
for the electronics systems business.
Aggregate future maturities of debt as of December 31, 2004 are as follows:
2005 $ 7,605
2006 3,102
2007 7,898

rate to the Company's tax provision as reported in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations is shown below:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Federal statutory income tax (benefit) expense $ 2,388 $ (14) $ 775

Effect of foreign losses with no income tax benefit 315 601 247
Change in estimate with respect to federal and state
liabilities (38) (311) -
------------ ------------ ------------
$ 2,407 $ 318 $ 1,120
============ ============ ============
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2003 includes a tax benefit related to
revised estimates of the Company's income tax liability as well as certain
income tax credits. 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.
In 2004, 2003, and 2002 earnings (loss) before income taxes included $7,024,
$(1,003), and $(206), respectively, of losses or earnings generated by the
Company's foreign operations. No federal or state income tax benefit or
provision has been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain of these
foreign operations, as the earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not
practical to estimate the additional income taxes, including any foreign
withholding taxes that might be payable with the eventual remittance of such
earnings.
30
Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period
are determined by applying the current tax rate to temporary difference between
the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The
components of deferred income taxes at December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 are
as follows:
2004 2003
------------ ------------
Deferred income tax liabilities:
Book basis in long-lived assets over tax basis $ (1,283) $ (1,935)
LIFO inventory basis difference (2,486) (2,501)
------------ ------------
Total deferred income tax liabilities (3,769) (4,436)
Deferred income tax assets:
Postretirement benefits not currently deductible 152 4,125
Accrued liabilities not currently deductible 649 674
Allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory
reserves 759 451
Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 1,189 -
Other 79 -
------------ ------------
Total deferred income tax assets 2,828 5,250
------------ ------------
Net deferred income tax (liability) asset $ (941) $ 814
============ ============
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has net operating loss, foreign tax credit
and research and development tax credit carryforwards totaling approximately
$157,000, $825,000 and $207,000, respectively. These credits expire beginning
2014 through 2024. The ability of the Company to benefit from the carryforwards
is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income
prior to the expiration dates.

7. BENEFIT PLANS
COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company maintains a discretionary compensation plan for certain salaried
employees that provides for incentive awards based on certain levels of
earnings, as defined. There have been no amounts awarded under the plan and
charged to expense in the accompanying statements of operations for fiscal years
2004, 2003 and 2002.
PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) profit-sharing plan covering
substantially all United States employees. Under this plan, the Company, on a
discretionary basis, matches a specified percentage of each eligible employee's
contribution and, at the election of the employee, the matching contribution may
be in the form of either cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a
combination thereof. The Company contributed cash of approximately $302, $207,
and $230 for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and contributed
10,290 shares of common stock held in treasury in 2004, 7,887 shares in 2003,
and 11,112 shares in 2002. During portions of 2003 and 2002, the Company
suspended the matching portion. In addition, the Company has a noncontributory
profit-sharing plan covering its Canadian employees for which $24, $23, and $50
was charged to expense for fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.
31
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") enables employees of the
Company to subscribe for shares of common stock on quarterly offering dates, at
a purchase price which is the lesser of 85% of the fair value of the shares on
either the first or last day of the quarterly period. Pursuant to the ESPP,
8,847 shares were issued to employees during 2004, 11,246 during 2003, and
10,310 during 2002. Employee contributions to the ESPP were $55, $50, and $61
for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2004,
418,412 shares remain available for future issuance.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has a stock-based incentive compensation plan (the "Plan"), the
purpose of which is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining valued
personnel by offering them a greater stake in the Company's success and a closer
identity with the Company, and to encourage ownership of the Company's common
stock by such personnel. The Plan is administered by a committee (the
"Committee") designated by the board of directors. Awards under the Plan may be
made to all officers and key employees of the Company through January 31, 2006.
The Committee may grant stock options and shares of common stock in the form of
either deferred stock or restricted stock, as defined in the Plan. Options
granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options ("ISOs") or
nonqualified stock options. ISOs are intended to qualify as incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Unless
an option is specifically designated at the time of the grant as an ISO, options
under the Plan will be nonqualified. The Committee determines the exercise price
of the options. The maximum term of an option granted under the Plan shall not
exceed ten years from the date of grant or, in the case of an ISO, five years
from the date of grant if the recipient on the date of grant owns directly, or
indirectly, shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company. No option may be exercisable sooner than
six months from the date the option is granted. Stock option activity for the
fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

The Company adopted 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 Company selected the modified prospective
method of accounting for this cost and has calculated the fair value of its
stock-based compensation plan using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2004, 2003, and
2002:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Risk free interest rate 4.40% 4.25% 5.00%
Expected lives 5 & 10 years 5 & 10 years 5 & 10 years
Expected volatility 30.3% 28.8% 27.3%
Dividend yield 4.3% 5.1% 5.1%
The fair value, net of tax, of options granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002 using the
Black-Scholes method was $211, $148, and $95, respectively, which will be
recognized as expense over the vesting period of the options.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors an unfunded defined benefit postretirement group term life
insurance plan that provides coverage for retirees and a group medical insurance
plan that provides coverage for retirees and their dependents. A portion of the
group medical insurance plan is paid for by retiree cost sharing which the
Company can change at its discretion. The accounting for the plan anticipates
future cost sharing increases to keep pace with health care inflation. The
actuarial valuation of the plan is as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal
year projected to the end of the year.
The following table summarizes the Company's postretirement benefit obligations
and the assumptions used in determining postretirement benefit cost:
2004 2003
------------ ------------
Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 10,577 $ 11,307
Service cost 7 5
Interest cost 34 160
Amortization (817) (654)
Retiree benefits paid (153) (241)
Gain on curtailment of benefit plan (9,258) -
------------ ------------
Benefit obligation at end of year $ 390 $ 10,577
============ ============
Accrued Benefit Obligation:
Accumulated Benefit Obligation $ 390 $ 2,622
Unrecognized Prior Service Benefit - 2,325
Unrecognized Actuarial Net Gain - 5,630
------------ ------------
$ 390 $ 10,577
============ ============
Discount rate 6.00% 6.00%
Initial health care cost trend 5.00% 5.25%
Ultimate health care cost trend rate 5.00% 5.00%
Year ultimate health care cost trend rate reached 2005 2004
In 2004 the Company continued to take steps to maintain spending for employee
and retiree healthcare at affordable levels. In connection with these efforts,
as communicated to retirees in the fourth quarter of 2004, increased insurance
costs effective with the 2005 plan enrollment would be passed on to retirees. As
a result, a substantial number of the retirees opted to participate in an
insurance program independent of the Company's offering and for which the
Company bears no future funding obligation. Accordingly, the remaining
accumulated plan benefit obligation, as determined by the plan's actuary, was
substantially reduced from $2.6 million at December 31, 2003 to $0.4 million at
December 31, 2004 and the plan was considered to be terminated in all material
respects. Therefore, the Company has recognized a pre-tax gain aggregating $9.26
million, equivalent to the reduction in the accumulated plan benefit obligation
together with the recognition of unrecognized prior service benefits and
actuarial net gains arising from similar actions taken in previous years. This
item is presented as a non-recurring gain in the Company's income statement for
the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company also recorded $3.61 million
deferred tax expense arising from the reduction of a previously recognized
deferred tax asset associated with these benefits, resulting in a $1.09 increase
in earnings per share in 2004 associated with the curtailment gain.
33
As a result of changes made to the post-retirement benefit plan, the Company
does not expect that future costs/(benefits) related to these post-retirement
benefits, or future contributions to cover the cost of retiree group insurance
premiums, to be material. Prior to the substantive termination of the
aforementioned benefit plan, and resulting non-recurring gain, selling, general
and administrative expenses included a net credit for periodic postretirement
benefits, comprised of the following:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Service cost $ 7 $ 5 $ 4
Interest cost 34 160 182
Amortization (817) (654) (752)
------------ ------------ ------------
Net benefit $ (776) $ (489) $ (566)
============ ============ ============
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. In management's opinion, the ultimate resolution of these
actions will not materially affect the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
The Company's operations and properties are subject to federal, state, and local
laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to certain materials, substances, and
wastes. The nature of the Company's operations exposes it to the risk of claims
with respect to environmental matters. Based on the Company's experience to
date, management believes that the future cost of compliance with existing
environmental requirements will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial position.
OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases warehouse and office space, office equipment, and other items
under non-cancelable operating leases. The expense for non-cancelable operating
leases was approximately $1,304, $1,239, and $1,319 for fiscal 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. At December 31, 2004 future minimum lease payments under
non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:
2005 $ 1,234
2006 955
2007 808
2008 582
2009 464
2010 and thereafter 1,828

9. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS FROM WHICH EACH SEGMENT DERIVES ITS
REVENUES
The Company is engaged principally in the design, manufacture, and sale of
industrial power transmission products. The products manufactured by the Company
are classified into two segments, mechanical business and electronics business.
The mechanical business segment includes belted drives, couplings, gear motors
and gearboxes. The electronics business segment includes electronic drives and
electric drive systems. Products of these segments are sold to distributors,
OEM's, and end users for manufacturing and commercial applications.
MEASUREMENT OF SEGMENT PROFIT OR LOSS AND SEGMENT ASSETS
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or
loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. Inter-segment sales are not material.
34
FACTORS MANAGEMENT USED TO IDENTIFY THE COMPANY'S REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company's reportable segments are business units that manufacture and market
separate and distinct products and are managed separately because each business
requires different processes, technologies, and market strategies. The following
table summarizes revenues, operating income, depreciation and amortization,
total assets, and expenditures for long-lived assets by business segment for
fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002:
