EXPLANATORY NOTES

Presentation

This Form 10-K is a combined annual report being filed separately by two registrants: Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. and Stanadyne Corporation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference in this report to “Holdings” refers to Stanadyne Holdings, Inc., and any reference to “Stanadyne” refers to Stanadyne Corporation, the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. The “Company,” the “Companies”, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Stanadyne Corporation. Each registrant hereto is filing on its own behalf all of the information contained in this annual report that relates to such registrant. Each registrant hereto is not filing any information that does not relate to such registrant, and therefore makes no representation as to any such information.

Our SEC filings are also available for reading and copying at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) containing reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

Restatement

As previously disclosed on January 20, 2010, each of Stanadyne and Holdings dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as its independent registered public accounting firm after Deloitte informed Stanadyne and Holdings that it had concluded that it was not independent with respect to them. Each of Stanadyne and Holdings subsequently engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm on February 4, 2010.

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and Stanadyne for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, certain errors were identified that affected the Company’s reported results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008 as well as the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009. The errors, which are more fully described in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included at Item 8 of this Annual Report, primarily related to the following:

 

   

The use of an incorrect base year index when calculating LIFO liquidation adjustments in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

 

   

The use of inaccurate participant information in the calculation of the curtailment gain associated with freezing benefits covered by our pension plan in 2007 and inaccurate surviving beneficiary information used to calculate our periodic pension expense in 2008.

 

   

The misclassification of our accrued pension liability and amounts recoverable from our workers compensation insurance carrier.

 

   

The failure to calculate and record the foreign currency translation effect related to goodwill associated with Stanadyne, SpA since 2004.

 

   

The use of an incorrect method to amortize deferred debt origination costs since 2004.

 

   

The recording of certain 2006 and 2007 sales in the incorrect year affecting 2006, 2007 and 2008 sales.

 

   

The use of an incorrect rate for calculating state deferred income taxes in connection with the Stanadyne purchase price allocation in 2004 and in subsequent periods for determining deferred income taxes.

 

   

Failure to record a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets related to Stanadyne, SpA in 2007.

Table of Contents

As a consequence of certain of these errors and as reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2010, on April 15, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of each of Holdings and Stanadyne, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company would restate its consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 as well as the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009 (collectively the “Affected Periods”) in order to correctly present the Company’s financial results and correct the errors identified the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods (and, where applicable, related reports of the Company’s prior registered public accounting firm) should no longer be relied upon.

On May 7, 2010, the Company furnished unaudited preliminary financial information for Holdings and Stanadyne for 2009 in a Form 8-K as well as unaudited preliminary restated financial information for 2008 and 2007 (the “May 8-K”). In connection with the completion of our 2009 audit and the reaudit of our 2008 and 2007 financial statements, each of which is included in the Annual Report at Item 8, there were certain additional adjustments noted that were not included in the financial information included in the May 8-K. The additional adjustments resulted in a decrease in Holdings’ net loss reported in the May 8-K of $3.1 million in 2009, and an increase in net income of $0.4 million in 2008, and a decrease in net income of $3.9 million in 2007. The 2009 adjustments related primarily to an increase in the income tax benefit of $2.6 million, related to the reversal of a previously recorded deferred income tax valuation allowance which was changed to 2007 and a reduction of the state income tax rate, and a decrease in the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.6 million. The 2008 adjustments primarily related to $0.3 million increase of profits on sales previously reported in 2007 and a $0.2 million decrease in amortization of deferred debt issuance costs offset by an increase in income tax expense of $0.2 million. The 2007 adjustments primarily related to an increase in the income tax expense of $3.7 million most of which related to the recording of a deferred income tax valuation allowance related to Stanadyne SpA.

The additional adjustments also resulted in a decrease in Stanadyne’s net loss reported in the May 8-K of $3.7 million in 2009, no change in 2008, and a decrease in net income of $4.4 million in 2007. The 2009 adjustments related primarily to a decrease in the income tax expense of $3.1 million, related to the reversal of a previously recorded deferred income tax valuation allowance which was changed to 2007 and a reduction of the state income tax rate, and a decrease in the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.6 million. The 2007 adjustments primarily related to an increase in the income tax expense of $4.1 million most of which related to the recording of a deferred income tax valuation allowance related to Stanadyne SpA.

The Company’s balance sheet was also adjusted to decrease goodwill and deferred income tax liabilities by $2.4 million related to a correction in a purchase price allocation in 2004 and the reporting as gross amounts recoverable from the Company’s workers compensation insurance carrier that were previously reported net in 2008 ($0.8 million).

Restated Financial Information

As a result of the errors described above, we have restated the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for Holdings and Stanadyne for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. We have also restated the related financial information for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 included in Item 1 – Business and Item 6 – Selected Financial Data. Further, we included in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, restated financial data for 2008 and 2007 used in the comparison of operating results.

Table of Contents

We intend to file amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, and September 30, 2009 to include restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information for those interim periods and the comparative restated 2008 interim periods.

We do not intend to file amended Annual Reports on Form 10-K or any other amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement. The consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained in any of the Company’s filings with the SEC during and for the restated periods should no longer be relied upon, including the May 8-K.

Internal Controls

In connection with the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management has identified control deficiencies in its internal controls that constitute a material weakness as discussed in Part II, Item 9A(T) of this Annual Report. If not remediated, these control deficiencies could result in future material misstatements to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, management determined that these control deficiencies represented a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Management has also determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2009. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and material weakness identified, see Item 9A(T) included in this Annual Report.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Automotive Holdings Corp. (“SAHC”). The name of SAHC was changed on July 29, 2009 to Stanadyne Intermediate Holding Corp. (“SIHC”). SIHC owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Stanadyne”). A majority of the outstanding common stock of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). Collectively, Holdings, SIHC and Stanadyne hereinafter are referred to as the “Company.” Holdings and Stanadyne are separate reporting companies. The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered, precision manufactured engine components, including fuel injection equipment for diesel engines. With over 130 years of machining experience and over 50 years as a supplier of diesel fuel injection equipment, Stanadyne’s core competencies in product design, precision machining, and the assembly and testing of complex components have earned the Company a reputation for innovative, high quality products. The Company possesses an extremely broad range of manufacturing technology and know-how and is capable of high-volume production runs, machining high-quality components within tolerances of 20 millionths of an inch on a cost-effective basis. In addition to designing and manufacturing, the Company has been successfully pursuing business to manufacture and assemble, on an exclusive contract basis, components designed by other companies.

The Company sells engine components to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in a variety of applications, including agricultural and construction vehicles and equipment, industrial products, automobiles, light duty trucks and marine equipment. The aftermarket is a core element of the Company’s operations. The Company sells replacement parts and units through all appropriate global channels to service its products, including the service organizations of its OEM customers, its own authorized network of distributors and dealers, and major aftermarket distribution companies. Since the

sale of wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision Engine Products Corp. (“PEPC” or “Precision Engine”), on July 31, 2006, the Company conducts its business through a single segment, the Precision Products and Technologies Group (“Precision Products”).

Stanadyne, a Delaware corporation formed in 1988, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIHC, a Delaware corporation formed in 1997. SIHC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed in 2004 and formerly known as KSTA Holdings, Inc. A majority of the outstanding equity of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C., an affiliate of Kohlberg and Company L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). On August 6, 2004, Kohlberg, through a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) purchased the outstanding equity of SIHC from American Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. (“AIP”) and certain other stockholders (the “Sellers”). AIP had purchased Stanadyne from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997.

OVERVIEW

Subsequent to the sale of PEPC, Stanadyne is comprised of one reportable segment. Stanadyne is one of only five independent worldwide manufacturers of diesel fuel injection systems selling to the geographic areas in which the Company competes. Net sales for Stanadyne were $185.8 million, $280.5 million and $292.4 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating income for Stanadyne was $2.5 million, $34.2 million and $36.7 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total assets of Stanadyne were $377.5 million and $417.1 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Products. Stanadyne manufactures its own proprietary products including pumps for gasoline engines and diesel engines (up to 250 horsepower, an engine range comprising approximately 90% of all diesel engines produced worldwide), injectors and filtration systems for diesel engines and various non-proprietary products manufactured under contract for other companies. Stanadyne sells its fuel injection products to its customers on an individual component basis or by complete line. The primary focus of Stanadyne is the agricultural and industrial off-highway segments of the market. Fuel pumps and injectors, Stanadyne’s primary products, are the most highly engineered, precision manufactured components on a diesel engine and comprise the core components of a diesel engine’s fuel system. Because fuel system components are so elemental to the proper functioning and optimal performance of a diesel engine, they are essentially custom engineered for a specific engine platform. As a result, the Company typically supplies these components on a sole source basis for the life of engine platforms and enjoys a leading position in the aftermarket. Stanadyne also manufactures diesel fuel management systems including fuel filters, fuel heaters and water separators, oil pumps and other precision manufactured components and distributes diesel fuel conditioners, stabilizers and diesel engine diagnostic equipment. Due to its competencies in precision manufacturing, assembly and testing of complex products, the Company has been successfully pursuing business to manufacture and assemble, on an exclusive contract basis, components designed by other companies.

Customers. Stanadyne’s primary customers are OEMs of diesel engines. Stanadyne’s largest customers, Deere & Company (“Deere”), General Engine Products, Inc. (“GEP”) and Daimler, AG (“Daimler”) accounted for approximately $80.9 million, or approximately 43.5% of Stanadyne’s 2009 net sales. In 2008, Deere, GEP and Cummins, Inc. (“Cummins”) accounted for approximately $130.9 million, or approximately 46.7% of Stanadyne’s 2008 net sales. In 2007, Deere, GEP, and Cummins accounted for approximately $148.4 million, or approximately 50.8% of Stanadyne’s 2007 net sales. Deere was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of Stanadyne’s net sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007, at 27.5%, 33.1% and 40.0%, respectively. Effective November 1, 2006, Stanadyne and Deere entered into a five-year supply agreement.

Stanadyne supports the servicing of its own products through sales of aftermarket units and parts to the service organizations of its OEM customers, through its own global network of authorized distributors and dealers, and through major aftermarket distribution companies. Total shipments to all service market channels represented 52.2%, 43.0% and 41.0% of Stanadyne’s sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Joint Venture. The Company has a joint venture with Amalgamations Private Limited in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The joint venture is named Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”) and started manufacturing diesel fuel injection equipment for export markets in the second quarter of 2003. Stanadyne holds a 51% controlling share of SAPL.

RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENT PARTS

The Company’s products are made largely of specially designed metal parts, most of which are designed, purchased, cast or stamped and machined by the Company to its own technical specifications. Metallic raw materials such as steel, aluminum, copper and brass are commodity items readily available from a

Table of Contents

number of suppliers. Certain parts, such as electronic components, are made to the Company’s specifications. Other parts, such as fasteners, are purchased by the Company from outside suppliers as standardized parts or are made to the Company’s specifications. Although from time to time the Company has experienced temporary supply shortages due to localized conditions, no such shortage has had a material adverse effect on the Company, and no supplier accounts for more than 10% of material component purchases.

COMPETITION

Because of the technical expertise required to design and manufacture the Company’s products to the tolerances required, the existence of longstanding supply relationships in the engine component business and the significant capital expenditures and lead time required to enter the business, there are a limited number of manufacturers selling to the global markets in which the Company operates. The Company competes on the basis of technological innovation, product quality, processing and manufacturing capabilities, service support and price. The Company is smaller in size and therefore has fewer resources relative to its competitors.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company relies upon patent, trademark and copyright protection as well as upon unpatented technological know-how and other trade secrets for certain products, components, processes and applications. However, the Company’s operations are not dependent upon any single or related group of patents, copyrights or trademarks or their duration. The patents have remaining durations of between 4 and 18.5 years. The Company considers its proprietary information important, especially in the maintenance of its competitive position in the aftermarket business, and actively protects its intellectual property rights.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2009, the Company employed 1,432 persons of whom approximately 34% were salaried and 66% were hourly employees. All of the Company’s employees are non-unionized with the exception of those in Stanadyne, S.p.A. (“SpA”). The Company believes its relations with its employees are good.

TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Engine manufacturers are required to continually improve engine performance and fuel economy. Accordingly, the Company’s research and development investment is significant. In general, the Company funds its own research and development expenses, although some of those expenses may be customer-funded during the pre-production program phase. Research and development costs incurred for 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $13.2 million, $15.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of which $0.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were reimbursed by customers.

Once an OEM commits to purchasing a product from the Company, which usually occurs one to three years into the development or application process, the Company may need to make capital expenditures for the machinery, equipment and tooling necessary for engine program launch, ramp-up and production volume increases. Furthermore, given the significant existing investment in plant and equipment already made, the Company has on-going programs to maintain, upgrade and replace its fixed assets. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company spent $8.5 million, $8.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.

* Long-lived assets were the same for Holdings and Stanadyne.

The Company’s worldwide operations are subject to the risks normally associated with foreign operations including, but not limited to, the disruption of markets, changes in export or import laws, labor unrest, political instability, restrictions on transfers of funds, unexpected changes in regulatory environments, difficulty obtaining distribution and support, and potentially adverse tax consequences. In addition, even though the Company generally matches, to the extent possible, related costs and revenues in a single currency, and generally includes exchange rate protections in its sales contracts, the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s foreign sales varies with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company’s facilities are subject to federal, state and local environmental requirements, including those governing discharges to the air and water, the handling and disposal of industrial and hazardous wastes, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. The Company operates under various environmental permits and approvals, the violation of which may subject the Company to fines and penalties. There are no known violations of environmental permits or approvals that may have a material adverse effect to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company’s manufacturing operations involve the use of hazardous substances and, if a release of hazardous substances occurs or has occurred on or from the Company’s facilities, the Company may be held liable and may be required to pay the cost of remedying the condition. The amount of any such liability could be material. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition on December 11, 1997, Metromedia agreed to conduct and complete remediation of soil and groundwater contamination at the Company’s Windsor, CT and Jacksonville, NC locations. While many of these remediations are underway and Metromedia agreed to complete these remediations and has indemnified the Company with respect to these matters and certain other environmental matters, there can be no assurance that Metromedia has the ability to completely fulfill its obligations to indemnify the Company for such matters. While the Company believes Metromedia will be able to meet its financial obligations, if Metromedia is unable to do so, the Company would be responsible for such matters and the cost could be material. Metromedia’s liability has not changed as result of the Transactions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this Form 10-K.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may lead investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial data.

Maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. In evaluating the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, management concluded that there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the insufficiency of the Company’s accounting professionals’ experience and knowledge in reviewing significant non-routine transactions and technical accounting matters. This material weakness led to the need for the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008 and for the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009 as described in Note 3 of our financial statements included in this Annual Report at Item 8 and the failure of the Company to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010 on a timely basis. The Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010.

We are in the process of remediating this material weakness by, among other things, augmenting our professional staff by hiring a manager of financial reporting, providing additional training for our accounting staff, implementing and modifying certain controls, and seeking assistance from third parties with technical accounting issues. If we fail to remediate this material weakness or fail to otherwise maintain effective controls over financial reporting in the future, it could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and which could cause investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial statements.

The indentures governing our notes contain financial reporting covenants that we have been unable to comply with due to the restatement.

Holdings has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes (as defined below) and Stanadyne has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Notes (as defined below) insofar as the Company did not, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, file with the SEC or furnish to the noteholders a) the Company’s annual financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and a report on the annual financial statements by the Companies’ certified independent accountants as required under the indentures or b) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. The delay in the filing of these reports for each of Holdings and Stanadyne is due to the restatement described in this report. While the Company believes the filing of this Annual Report has cured the failure to so file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes under either of the indentures may notify Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, of its failure to comply with the reporting covenant of the applicable indenture, in which case Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, will have 60 days in which to cure such failure. While the Company has not received any such notice from the trustee or the requisite noteholders as of the date of this filing, there can be no assurance that the Company will not receive such notice or that, if the Company does receive such notice, that the Company will be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010 within 60 days of receipt of such notice.

We are subject to the volatile conditions in the capital, credit and commodities markets and in the overall economy which could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the global recession, significant volatility in the worldwide capital, credit and commodities markets, slower economic activity, concerns about inflation and deflation, lower corporate profits and reduced capital spending. These factors, in conjunction with the economic slowdown and fears associated with the economic recession, affect our business in a number of different ways. First, these challenging economic conditions may make it difficult for our customers to accurately forecast future business activities and access credit markets to maintain necessary liquidity. This could result in reduced demand for our products as well as increase the risk of uncollectible accounts and adversely affect our profitability. Second, increases in raw material costs resulting from the volatility in the commodity markets, including steel and aluminum, could lead to our inability to procure raw materials on commercially reasonable terms and adversely affect our cost of goods sold and result in decreased earnings. Third, although we attempt to monitor the financial health of our key suppliers, these economic conditions may also challenge their ability to continue as going concerns. The failure of one or more of these key suppliers could result in disruption to our production schedules, require premium costs to replace, and ultimately adversely affect our profitability. Fourth, if limitations in the capital and credit markets continue to restrict availability of funds, it is possible that we may not be able to access capital at a time when we would like or need to do so. While currently these conditions have not significantly impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case.

We cannot predict the duration and depth of any economic slowdown or the timing of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide or in our industry.

The industries in which we operate are cyclical, which can make our sales vary in unpredictable ways.

Sales of our products to off-highway OEMs for use in the agricultural industry generally are related to the health of the agricultural industry, which is affected by farm income and debt levels, farm land values, and farm cash receipts, all of which reflect levels of commodity prices, acreage planted, crop yields, demand, government policies and government subsidies. Historically, the agricultural industry has been cyclical and subject to a variety of economic factors, governmental regulations and legislation, and weather conditions. Trends in the industry, such as farm consolidations, may also affect the sales of products for use in the agricultural industry. In addition, weather conditions, such as heat waves or droughts, and pervasive livestock diseases can affect farmers’ buying decisions. Downturns in the agricultural industry due to these and other factors are likely to decrease the sales of products to off-highway OEMs for use in the agricultural industry, which could adversely affect our sales, growth, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, our financial performance depends, to a lesser extent, on conditions in the other cyclical industries that we serve, including the domestic and foreign production of automobiles and light duty vehicles. Historically, the North American and European automotive industries have experienced periodic, cyclical downturns. The current downturn in these industries is resulting in significant reductions in demand for on-highway vehicles. Industry sales and production have been severely affected by weakness of the global economy generally, and in specific regions such as North America or Europe, by prevailing interest rates and by other factors that may have an effect on our level of sales. Demand for our products is also directly dependent upon demand for the engine platforms on which our products are incorporated. There is no assurance that the demand for such engine platforms will continue. A substantial decrease in demand for such engine platforms could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are subject to risks associated with changes in technology, changes in manufacturing techniques and changes in customer product demands or specifications, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously evolve our existing technology, manufacturing processes and products. We must also introduce new products to meet customers’ needs in the industries we serve and want to serve. The demanding requirements of engine manufacturers to improve engine performance and fuel economy and to meet the increasingly stringent worldwide emission regulations create technical challenges that may necessitate technological changes to our products. Our engineers typically work with our customers’ engineering staff for a period of two to five years prior to a product launch in order to develop or adapt new technology to satisfy our customers’ requirements. Our inability to develop the requisite technology in the necessary timeframe could adversely affect our business.

Our products are also characterized by stringent performance and specification requirements that mandate a high degree of manufacturing and engineering expertise. If we fail to meet these specification requirements, we could be subject to significant product warranty expenses that could place our business at risk.

Our success will depend on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing specifications and product demands. We cannot assure that we will be able to address our customers’ demands or introduce new products that may be necessary to remain competitive within our businesses. Furthermore, we cannot assure that we can adequately protect any of our own technological developments to produce a sustainable competitive advantage.

Our base of customers is concentrated, and the loss of business from a major customer or the failure to maintain our customer relationships could materially adversely affect us.

Because of the relative importance of our largest customers and the high degree of concentration with OEMs in the off-highway markets, our business is exposed to a high degree of risk related to customer concentration. Our top five customers represented 53% of net sales in 2009. None of our top customers are obligated to continue to produce the engines which require our products or renew contracts with us when they expire. A substantial decrease in orders from Deere, Daimler, Cummins, or GEP could have a material adverse effect on us. Even if we maintain our relationships, net sales concentration as a result of these relationships increases the potential impact to our business that could result from any changes in the economic terms of that relationship. Any change in our relationships could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. Any changes could, for example, result in decreased sales. Relationships with our customers for the development of new products are also important, and our net sales will be significantly diminished if we fail to maintain these prospective development relationships. In addition, because our customer base is highly concentrated and the maintenance of these relationships is of significant importance to us, from time to time we may find it necessary to allow price reductions as to certain of our products. If we were unable to reach agreement on pricing with one or more of our major customers, or if we were forced to accept an economic arrangement in which pricing was materially lower than in our past experience, our sales and profitability would be materially harmed.

We face competition in our markets, which could hurt market share and sales.

While there are a limited number of competitors, including the captive component operations of certain engine manufacturers as well as other independent suppliers, most are larger and have greater financial and other resources available to them. Our products may not continue to compete successfully with the products of other companies, and engine manufacturers may not continue to purchase engine components from outside suppliers. Although we have significant market positions in each of our primary lines within the aftermarket, we may not be able to maintain our current market share. Competition in our business

 

14


Table of Contents

lines is based on a number of considerations, including product performance, quality of client service and support, timely delivery and price. To remain competitive, we will need to invest continuously in manufacturing operations, working capital, customer service and support, marketing and distribution networks. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments, and we may not be able to maintain our competitive position within each of the markets we serve.

Increases in our raw material costs or the loss of a substantial number of our suppliers could affect our financial health.

Our business is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic delays in the delivery of certain raw materials, including steel and aluminum. For example, the domestic steel industry has experienced substantial financial instability due to numerous factors, including energy costs and the effect of foreign competition. Some of our supply base may not survive the current economic downturn. In addition, the general global economic downturn may create an imbalance in the supply and demand for many of the purchased components and raw materials used. Any material long-term increase in the price of one or more of our raw materials could have an adverse impact on our cost of sales. In addition, a failure by our suppliers to continue to supply us with certain raw materials on commercially reasonable terms due to uneven supply and demand could have a material adverse effect on us. Our exposure to this risk will increase as our reliance on outside suppliers’ increases, as is the case in our plan to outsource certain manufacturing operations to achieve cost reductions.

Our international operations are subject to uncertainties that could affect our operating results.

Our business is subject to certain risks associated with doing business internationally. Approximately 51.2% of our net sales in 2009 were derived from products sold outside of the United States. In addition, we operate three manufacturing facilities outside of the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors associated with foreign operations, including:

 

   

disruptions of markets;

 

   

changes in export or import laws, including compliance with U.S. Department of Commerce export controls;

 

   

labor unrest or differing labor regulations;

 

   

geopolitical instability;

 

   

restrictions on transfers of funds, including exchange controls;

 

   

unexpected changes in regulatory environments;

 

   

difficulty in obtaining distribution and support;

 

   

interest rates;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in these jurisdictions;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries; and

 

   

exposure to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact our results of operations and affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. Because the results of the operations and the financial position of our foreign subsidiaries are reported in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our combined financial statements, our financial results are impacted by currency fluctuations between the dollar and the euro, the dollar and the Chinese yuan, the dollar and the Indian rupee and, to a lesser extent, other currencies which are unrelated to our underlying results of operations. We have not entered into contracts to hedge our currency risk.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of the factors identified above could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

Table of Contents

We have significant pension obligations with respect to our employees.

A portion of our active and retired employees participate in defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of assets of our pension plan was significantly less than the projected benefit obligation of the plan. The Company is obligated to provide the required levels of benefits regardless of the value of the underlying assets, if any, of the applicable pension plan. These underlying assets are subject to investment risk and market fluctuation which may require significant additional cash contributions from us to pay benefits which could have an adverse material impact on our ability to generate sufficient cash to invest in the growth of the business.

Unionization of our labor force could increase our operating costs and impact profitability.

Because our workforce is non-unionized, except where required by law (Italy), we believe our average labor costs are lower than those of larger unionized competitors. In order to achieve our business strategies, we must maintain this competitive advantage. If our employees become unionized, labor costs, and consequently, operating expenses, would likely increase, thereby reducing profitability.

We depend on the services of key individuals and relationships, the loss of which would materially harm us.

Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees. In addition, future success will depend on, among other factors, the ability to attract and retain other qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any of the key employees or the failure to attract or retain employees could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our intellectual property may be misappropriated or subject to claims of infringement.

We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection, as well as licensing agreements and third-party nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements. Our applications for protection of our intellectual property rights may not be approved and others may infringe or challenge our intellectual property rights. We also may rely on unpatented proprietary technology. Our competitors may independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information, our employees, consultants and advisors must enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information if there is any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure. In addition, we from time to time pursue and are pursued in potential litigation relating to the protection of certain intellectual property rights, including with respect to some of our more profitable products. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, our ability to sustain margins on some or all of our products may be affected, which could reduce our sales and profitability.

We could face potential product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or distribute.

We face exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other adverse effects. We currently maintain product liability insurance coverage, but we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential claims. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for long periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful product liability defense could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or our ability to make payments on our obligations when due. In addition, our business depends on the strong brand reputation we have developed. If this reputation is damaged, we may face difficulty in maintaining pricing positions with respect to some of our products, which would reduce net sales and profitability.

Table of Contents

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect against the potential hazards incident to our business.

We maintain property, business interruption, product liability and casualty insurance coverage which we believe is in accordance with customary industry practices, but we cannot be fully insured against all potential hazards incident to our business, including losses resulting from war risks or terrorist acts. A catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of our facilities due to accident, labor issues, weather conditions, other natural disaster or otherwise, whether short or long-term, could have a material adverse effect. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for some of our insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, some types of insurance may become available only for reduced amounts of coverage, if at all. In addition, our insurers may challenge coverage for certain claims. If we were to incur a significant liability that was not fully insured or that our insurers disputed, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flow.

Environmental regulation may impose significant environmental compliance costs and liabilities on us.

We are subject to many laws and regulations related to the environment, health and safety and associated compliance and permitting obligations. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs to maintain or achieve compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Moreover, if these environmental laws and regulations become more stringent or more stringently enforced in the future, we could incur additional costs. Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements could result in civil or criminal fines, penalties or enforcement actions, third-party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup or regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, including the installation of pollution control equipment or remedial actions. Some environmental laws and regulations impose liability for contamination on present and former owners, operators or users of facilities and sites, or the generators of waste disposed of at the facility or site, without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. There is ongoing remediation at our properties in Connecticut and North Carolina, and we have been named as a potentially responsible party at certain other sites. However, we believe that nearly all of our liabilities for such matters are covered by an indemnity that we received from Metromedia, our former owner. If Metromedia was unable or unwilling to perform to the terms of the indemnity, or should new contamination be identified, or if the extent of the known contamination is greater than presently anticipated, environmental liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our products are applied to engines and vehicles which are subject to various emission standards and regulations which vary by geographic markets. We continually seek to incorporate new design features into our products to assist customers in meeting those emissions standards and regulations applicable to their product offerings, including engines and vehicles. Although a plan to revise an existing emission standard or regulation is generally known by the public a few years in advance of enforcement, providing the opportunity to make changes to products in order to comply with the anticipated changes to the emissions standard or regulation, any subsequent changes to such plan could have a direct and significant effect on our customers’ ability to sell their products, and correspondingly, our ability to sell products to such customers.

If we are unable to meet future capital investment requirements, our business may be adversely affected.

We periodically make capital investments to, among other things, launch new products, maintain and upgrade our facilities and enhance our production processes. Additionally, as our business grows, we may have to incur capital expenditures to increase capacity. We may also incur significant capital expenditures to make changes to products in order to comply with evolving emissions standards and regulations. We believe that we will be able to fund these expenditures through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities in the U.S. and borrowings from local financial institutions in the countries in which we operate. However, we may not have or be able to obtain adequate funds to make all necessary capital expenditures when required, or the amount of future capital expenditures may be materially in excess of our anticipated or current expenditures. If we are unable to make necessary capital expenditures, our product line may become dated, our productivity may be decreased and the quality of our products may be adversely affected, which, in turn, could reduce net sales and profitability.

Compliance with changing corporate governance regulations and public disclosures may result in additional risks and exposure.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new regulations from the SEC, are creating uncertainty for public companies such as ours. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased selling, general, and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention. In particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal control over financial reporting have required the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources.

Holdings is solely responsible for paying certain promissory notes it issued and since it has no independent operations and its subsidiaries are restricted from making distributions to Holdings, Holdings may be unable to repay the notes.

On December 20, 2004, Holdings issued $100.0 million of senior discount notes (the “Discount Notes”) due in 2015. The Discount Notes bear interest at a stated annual rate of 12%. The Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. The Discount Notes are not guaranteed by any of Holdings’ subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Holdings has no independent financial resources of its own. Furthermore the terms of the agreement governing the Company’s credit facility and the indenture governing the $160 million of subordinated notes issued by Stanadyne on August 6, 2004 limit the ability of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Holdings, which may, in turn, limit Holdings’ ability to repay the Discount Notes.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings generally incidental to its business. While the results of any litigation or regulatory issue contain an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of any known, pending or threatened legal proceeding, or all of them combined, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to potential environmental liability and various claims and legal actions, which are pending or may be asserted against the Company concerning environmental matters. Reserves for such liabilities have been established, and no insurance recoveries have been anticipated in the determination of the reserves. In management’s opinion, the aforementioned claims will be resolved without materially adverse effects on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company on December 11, 1997, Metromedia agreed to partially indemnify the Company relating to certain environmental matters. See “Environmental Matters” in Item 1 of this report.

On December 10, 2009 Holdings granted one employee options to purchase 325,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.47 per share. The options granted vest ratably annually over a four year period from the date of grant, are subject to the achievement of various performance benchmarks and expire ten years from the date of grant.

This offer of securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. In claiming the exemption under Section 4(2), Holdings relied in part on the following facts: (1) the offer and sale involved a single purchaser; (2) the purchaser was an employee of Stanadyne and as such was familiar with its operations; (3) the purchaser represented that he (a) had the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risk of an investment in Holdings; (b) was able to bear the economic risk of an investment in Holdings; (c) acquired the securities for his own account in a transaction not involving any general solicitation or general advertising, and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and (4) a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Stanadyne, a Delaware corporation formed in 1988, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIHC, a Delaware corporation formed in 1997. SIHC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed in 2004 and formerly known as KSTA Holdings, Inc. A majority of the outstanding equity of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C., an affiliate of Kohlberg and Company L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). On August 6, 2004, Kohlberg and Company, L.L.C., through a series of transactions purchased the outstanding equity of Stanadyne’s holding company from American Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. AIP had purchased Stanadyne from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997.

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects the results of operations and financial condition of Holdings and its subsidiaries, which are materially the same as the results of operations and financial condition of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the discussions provided are applicable to both Holdings and Stanadyne except where otherwise noted.

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of highly-engineered, precision manufactured engine components. We manufacture our own proprietary products including pumps for gasoline and diesel engines, injectors and filtration systems for diesel engines, and various non-proprietary products manufactured under contract for other companies.

Last year, 2009, was an extraordinarily challenging period for our business. The global economic downturn that began in 2008 did not significantly affect Stanadyne until the first quarter 2009, and then had a profound impact on every sector of our business. In the first quarter of 2009, our customers, both original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and service customers, cut inventories, canceled orders and slowed incoming material. In the second quarter of 2009, orders stabilized and increased by 18% from the first quarter of 2009, but customer demand remained very volatile. Orders for our products improved gradually in the third and fourth quarters of 2009, with customers confirming low inventory levels and requesting “inside lead time” drop-in orders.

Sales in 2009 totaled $185.8 million, reflecting a decrease of $94.7 million or 33.8% from 2008 sales of $280.5 million. Sales in 2009 were lower for virtually every market, customer and industry we serve. Sales to our OEMs represented the largest year-over-year decrease with 2009 sales 44.5% lower than 2008. Sales to the service channels in 2009 decreased a comparatively smaller 19.6% when compared to 2008.

The downward pressure on earnings from these lower sales volumes required significant cost reduction actions that included permanent staff reductions, temporary furloughs of personnel on an as-needed basis, wage and salary reductions ranging from 3% - 15%, and several other austerity measures targeting savings in utilities, travel, benefits, professional fees and other costs. Our operating income before impairment of goodwill of $6.5 million, was $9.1 million and 4.9% of net sales, reflecting a decrease of $25.1 million from 2008 operating income of $34.2 million and 12.2% of net sales.

A realignment of the Company’s global manufacturing capacity was initiated in the second quarter of 2009. Consolidation of the North American manufacturing activities from three manufacturing locations to two will result in the closure of the Company’s Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing plant by 2011. Reduced demand on our factories in the first half of the year enabled us to expedite movement of equipment from the Windsor, Connecticut plant to other locations, incurring approximately $3.0 million in relocation costs in 2009 which were recorded to selling, general and administrative costs. The Company will continue to assess the carrying value of its Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing plant and related equipment for impairments. The Company also incurred $2.0 million in costs in 2009 which were recorded to selling, general and administrative costs for start-up costs including equipment relocation, training and salaries related to the expanded operations in our Changshu, China and Chennai, India locations.

To further execute our global manufacturing strategy, we determined in the fourth quarter of 2009 to support new business growth in Asia with products manufactured by our Changshu, China operation rather than our Italy-based operation. As a result, our annual impairment test concluded that the goodwill was impaired in the Stanadyne, SpA (“SpA”) reporting unit and we charged the entire amount, $6.5 million, to operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009. This is a non-cash charge to earnings and does not impact the Company’s liquidity.

Despite the depressed business levels, cash flows from operations in 2009 were positive $1.7 million. Cash on hand as of December 31, 2009 totaled $24.9 million and availability under the U.S.-based revolving credit facility totaled $19.3 million, of which $5.8 million was used for standby letters of credit.

2009 COMPARED TO 2008

Net Sales. Net sales for 2009 totaled $185.8 million and were $94.7 million, or 33.8% less than sales of $280.5 million for 2008. The global recession had a severe negative impact on customer demand in all of our primary end markets for agricultural, industrial and construction equipment. The reduction in customer demand was most severe in the first half of 2009; however our businesses continued to experience lower sales to most of our OEM and service customers for the entire year.

OEM sales represented 48% of our total sales in 2009 as compared to 57% in 2008. The downturn in our 2009 sales was greatest in our OEM markets where we experienced a broad based decrease in customer demand, with only few exceptions, as the global economic recession slowed demand for construction, agricultural and industrial equipment. Decreased demand from our largest customer, Deere & Company (“Deere”), for products used in their construction and forestry equipment as well as utility tractors resulted in $26.6 million lower sales in 2009 than the prior year. Lower demand from our other major OEM customers, including Caterpillar, Cummins, Inc. (“Cummins”), AGCO SISU POWER (“SISU”), Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), Perkins Engines Co. Ltd. (“Perkins”), Lombardini SRL, Iveco S.p.A., Case New Holland and J C Bamford Excavators Ltd. combined for a $32.5 million decrease in 2009 sales as compared to the prior year. Sales to General Engine Products, Inc. (“GEP”) for fuel pumps used in the

Table of Contents

military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (“HMMWV”) were also $2.6 million or 13% less in 2009 as production of this vehicle slowed from the prior year rate. The only significant increase in OEM sales in 2009 was for our high pressure gasoline pump sold to Daimler due to an expanded product offering of the gasoline direct injection engine included as an option in the Mercedes C and E-class vehicles. Sales to Daimler increased by $2.1 million in 2009 from the prior year.

Sales to the service markets represented 52% of our total sales in 2009 as compared to 43% in 2008. Demand for products from our service customers did not decrease as much as demand from our OEM customers in 2009. Service sales to Deere were $13.2 million or 35% less when compared to 2008, reflecting lower end market demand as well as inventory reductions in 2009. Sales to General Motors Service Parts Organization were $7.5 million lower in 2009 versus 2008. The balance of the reduction in 2009 service sales was due to lower demand from our independent service network and our aftermarket fuel filter customers.

Sales in 2009 were significantly lower in all of our major product lines when compared to the prior year, reflecting the impact of the global recession on all of our lines of business except for the high pressure gasoline pump sold to Daimler. Year-over-year sales decreases in our diesel fuel pump, fuel injector, fuel filtration and Precision Components & Assembly product lines ranged from 24% to 62%, with larger decreases reflecting a greater proportion of OEM versus service sales.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. Cost of goods sold totaled $139.0 million and 74.8% of net sales in 2009, compared to $203.5 million and 72.6% of net sales in 2008. Gross profit totaled $46.8 million and 25.2% of net sales in 2009, compared to $76.9 million and 27.4% of net sales in 2008. This $30.1 million reduction in gross profit was due to the following increases and decreases in 2009 cost of goods sold when compared to 2008:

 

Decreases in gross profit -

  

Lower sales volume and market/product mix

   -$ 41.9 million

Windsor employee retention bonus

   -$ 1.1 million

Excess inventory write down

   -$ 0.7 million

Increases in gross profit -

  

Overhead labor reductions

   +$ 7.0 million

Lower 2009 performance bonus

   +$ 2.7 million

Lower factory overhead expenses

   +$ 2.0 million

Lower depreciation expense

   +$ 1.9 million

The lower sales volumes in all of our lines of business in 2009 (other than the high pressure gasoline pump sold to Daimler) resulted in $41.9 million lower gross profit when compared to 2008, although the higher proportion of service versus OEM sales in 2009 lessened the overall impact on gross profit.

The reorganization of our North American operations announced in the second quarter of 2009 will result in the closure of the manufacturing plant in our Windsor, Connecticut location by 2011. We are providing a retention bonus to employees of that location to continue working until their jobs are eliminated. The aggregate amount of these bonuses is expected to be approximately $2.7 million of which $1.1 million was expensed in 2009.

A review of our potentially obsolete and excess inventory in 2009 resulted in a $0.7 million charge to cost of goods sold. Approximately $0.6 million of this amount is related to the write down of inventory following the decision by a customer to in-source manufacturing of components previously provided by our Stanadyne, SpA operation.

A number of aggressive cost reduction actions were taken in 2009 to better balance our operating costs to the lower level of sales demand. We reduced factory overhead staffing levels, utilized temporary furloughs, reduced wages and salaries, and suspended certain employee benefits to produce combined savings of $7.0 million in 2009. Also, we did not achieve the levels of earnings and cash flows from operations in 2009 required by our performance bonus plan. As a result, there were no amounts incurred for performance bonus in 2009 as compared to $2.7 million incurred in 2008.

A number of austerity programs were taken at all of our locations in 2009 to further reduce factory overhead costs by a combined $1.7 million from 2008 spending levels. Also, LIFO expense was $0.3 million less in 2009 when compared to 2008.

Depreciation expense was $1.9 million lower in 2009 as compared to 2008. A large number of used assets were acquired in 2004 with a remaining useful life of 5 years that ended in the third quarter of 2009 resulting in the lower overall depreciation expense in 2009. This benefit was partially offset by $0.6 million of accelerated depreciation in 2009 resulting from the decision to close our Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing facility. While many of the fixed assets used in Windsor will be transferred to our other manufacturing facilities upon closure of this plant in 2011, we determined that certain fixed assets would only be used through 2011. We revised our estimate of the useful life of these assets and adjusted the depreciation expense accordingly.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A totaled $33.7 million or 18.1% of net sales in 2009, as compared to $38.7 million or 13.8% of net sales in 2008. The lower levels of sales in 2009 drove a number of cost saving measures including staff reductions, a graduated salary reduction of 4% - 15%, suspension of certain employee benefits, and no performance bonus due to depressed levels of cash flows that combined for a total of $4.4 million lower employee related costs when compared to 2008. Freight on sales was $0.8 million less in 2009 when compared to 2008, due primarily to the depressed sales volumes. Lower R&D expenses and favorable cost trends in retiree health benefit plans in 2009 accounted for $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of the year-over-year decrease in SG&A costs. Additional year-over-year savings of $1.8 million in SG&A costs were realized from a number of austerity measures in our China, India and Italy operations. All of these savings were partially offset by $1.9 million of costs incurred for the consolidation of our U.S. manufacturing operations announced in 2009 and $2.0 million for start-up costs including training and salaries to support the relocation of equipment, as well as the cost to move the equipment, for the expanded operations in our China and India locations. The SG&A in our financial statements includes an annual management fee paid to Kohlberg of $0.8 million and amortization of intangible assets of $3.2 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.2 million in 2009 and $3.3 million in 2008.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill impairment was $6.5 million in 2009 and no goodwill impairment was recorded in 2008. Stanadyne evaluates the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets on an annual basis and when other conditions exist by applying a fair value based test. Stanadyne tests for goodwill impairment in two reporting units – Stanadyne Corporation and Stanadyne, SpA. Our annual impairment test for 2009 was completed during the fourth quarter. This test relies on a discounted cash flow analysis of the operating cash flows reflected in our long term strategic plan. The result of this analysis concluded that the projected discounted cash flows generated by our Stanadyne, SpA reporting unit did not support the carrying value of that business. This change from the prior year impairment test was due to a strategic decision in the fourth quarter of 2009 to support new business growth in Asia with products manufactured by our Changshu, China operation rather than our Italy-based operation. As a result, Stanadyne’s annual impairment test concluded that the goodwill was impaired in the Stanadyne, SpA reporting unit and charged $6.5 million to operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009. There was no impairment of goodwill in the Stanadyne Corporation reporting unit in 2009.

Operating Income. Operating income for Stanadyne in 2009 totaled $2.6 million and 1.4% of net sales and was $31.7 million less than operating income of $34.3 million and 12.2% of net sales in 2008. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge of $6.5 million, the year-over-year comparison reflected a decrease of $25.2 million that resulted from $30.1 million lower gross profit partially offset by $4.9 million lower SG&A expense. Operating income for Holdings in 2009 was $0.1 million less than for Stanadyne due to additional SG&A costs.

Net Loss. Net losses for Stanadyne in 2009 totaled $14.3 million or 7.7% of net sales as compared to net income in 2008 of $9.8 million and 3.5% of net sales. This $24.1 million decrease in net earnings was due to $31.7 million of lower operating income in 2009 partially offset by $0.5 million lower net interest expense on lower levels of debt, $6.2 million lower income taxes and $0.8 million of loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”).

Net losses for Holdings in 2009 were $8.5 million more than for Stanadyne due to $11.8 million of additional net interest expense on Holdings’ senior discount notes, partially offset by $3.3 million lower income taxes.

2008 COMPARED TO 2007

Net Sales. Net sales for 2008 totaled $280.5 million and were $11.9 million or 4.1% less than sales of $292.4 million for 2007. Lower sales to the OEM market during 2008 were partially offset by higher sales to the service markets.

OEM sales represented 57% of our total sales in 2008 as compared to 59% in 2007. Sales to our OEM customers were $18.2 million less in 2008, due primarily to $30.1 million lower sales to Deere. In addition to lower demand due to the general economic downturn in late 2008, sales to Deere decreased for products used in construction and forestry equipment as well as for older style fuel injection equipment that is no longer emissions compliant. Strength in demand from our other OEM customers in 2008 offset much of the reduction in sales to Deere. Sales to GEP for fuel pumps used in the military HMMWV were $2.8 million greater in 2008. Sales of our high pressure gasoline pump to Daimler were also $5.0 million higher in 2008 as the use of GDi-equipped engine was expanded to additional platforms. Increased OEM demand in 2008 for our diesel fuel injection equipment sold to Cummins, Ford, SISU and Perkins combined for a total of $9.1 million higher sales in 2008 than 2007.

Sales to the service markets represented 43% of our total sales in 2008 as compared to 41% in 2007. Sales to service customers increased $0.8 million or 0.6% in 2008 versus 2007. After lower demand in 2007, service orders from GM for fuel pumps increased in the first half of 2008, resulting in $3.9 million higher sales when compared to 2007. Service orders for Deere products also increased by $1.3 million in 2008. Sales to our central distributors, which comprise our independent service network, were $11.2 million lower in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to a general downturn in demand for service parts as well as for fewer orders for replacement pumps for military HMMWVs.

Sales by major product line in 2008 reflected lower sales of our fuel pump, fuel injector and fuel filtration products, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in sales of other contact manufactured components in our Precision Components & Assembly (“PCA”) product line.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. Cost of goods sold totaled $203.5 million and 72.6% of net sales in 2008, compared to $221.8 million and 75.8% of net sales in 2007. Gross profit totaled $76.9 million and 27.4% of net sales in 2008, compared to $70.6 million and 24.2% of net sales in 2007, an increase of $6.3 million. The major reasons for the increase in year-over-year gross profit were as follows:

 

Increases in gross profit –

  

Factory cost reductions including reorganization, staff reductions and consolidation of our Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing operations

   +$8.3 million

Factory cost reductions in our Italy location due to staff reductions and the prior year (2007) charges for write-down of excess inventory and idle equipment

   +$2.6 million

Decreases in gross profit –

  

Lower sales volume and unfavorable product mix

Higher costs in our Changshu, China plant

   -$4.2 million

-$0.8 million

Factory overhead costs in the U.S. operations were $8.3 million less in 2008 primarily reflecting savings from organizational restructuring, staff reductions and consolidation of operations in the Windsor, Connecticut location.

Gross profit in Stanadyne, SpA improved by $2.6 million in 2008 when compared to 2007, due primarily to the $2.1 million write-down of inventory and idle equipment in 2007 that did not recur in 2008, as well as savings from staff reductions completed in 2007 and 2008.

Lower gross profit resulting from decreased OEM sales volumes was partially offset by a more profitable mix of products sold in 2008, resulting in a net $4.2 million decrease in the year-to-year gross profit comparison.

Finally, overhead spending in our new Changshu, China plant increased by $0.8 million in 2008, as the operation launched production in the second half of the year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A totaled $38.7 million or 13.8% of net sales in 2008, as compared to $38.4 million or 13.1% of net sales in 2007. The $0.2 million increase in SG&A costs was due to a number of changes. SG&A increases in 2008 included $2.4 million for higher research and development expenses for high pressure gasoline and diesel fuel systems programs, $0.6 million for professional fees related to personnel recruiting, accounting related fees and legal fees, and $0.4 million more start-up costs in the new Changshu, China plant. Reductions in SG&A costs in 2008 included $2.6 million lower severance benefits than incurred in 2007, lower costs associated with testing the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and $0.3 million lower stock-based compensation expense. The SG&A in our financial statements includes the pension plan curtailment gain described below, the management fee paid to Kohlberg and amortization of intangible assets.

Pension Plan Curtailment Gain. Changes to the U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans at the end of the first quarter of 2007 resulted in a curtailment gain of the liability associated with future benefits. Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) to freeze the benefits for all participants so that no future benefits accrued after that date. The effect of the pension plan freeze resulted in a curtailment gain of $9.1 million. This curtailment gain was equal to the reduction in the projected benefit obligations (PBO) due to the freeze, offset by any unrecognized losses immediately prior to the freeze, plus remaining unrecognized prior service costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.3 million in 2008 and was $0.5 million less than the amount reported for 2007, due to the expiration of certain product design patents at mid-year 2007.

Operating Income. Operating income for 2008 totaled $34.3 million and 12.2% of net sales and was $2.5 million less than the $36.8 million and 12.6% of net sales in 2007. Excluding the 2007 pension plan curtailment gain of $9.1 million, the year-over-year comparison reflected an increase in operating income

of $6.6 million that resulted from $6.3 million higher gross profit and $0.5 million lower amortization expenses partially offset by $0.2 million higher SG&A expense. Operating income for Holdings in 2008 was $0.1 million less than for Stanadyne due to additional SG&A costs.

Net Income. Net income for Stanadyne in 2008 totaled $9.8 million and 3.5% of net sales, reflecting an increase of $3.9 million from $5.9 million or 2.0% of net sales in 2007. The $3.9 million increase reflected $2.5 million lower operating income, due to the $9.1 million pension plan curtailment gain recorded in 2007, offset by $6.3 million of higher gross profit levels in 2008, $0.3 million lower interest expense on reduced debt levels, $5.9 million lower income taxes due primarily to the $4.0 million deferred tax valuation allowance in 2007 and lower operating income and higher R&D credits, and $0.2 million of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in SAPL.

Net income for Holdings in 2008 totaled $2.2 million and was $7.6 million less than the amount reported for Stanadyne due to $10.5 million of additional interest expense on Holdings’ senior discount notes, partially offset by $2.9 million lower income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stanadyne’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, which totaled $24.9 million on December 31, 2009, and cash flows from operations. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 represent commercial paper and certificates of deposit. On August 13, 2009, Stanadyne (as borrower) and Stanadyne Intermediate Holding Corp. (“SIHC”) (as guarantor) entered into a new revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC (“U.S. Revolver”). The U.S. Revolver replaced a revolving credit line that expired on August 6, 2009, which was part of the Company’s senior credit facility with Goldman Sachs and CIT Group. The U.S. Revolver provides for maximum borrowings of $30 million, based on availability, as defined in the credit agreement, and is secured by all Stanadyne and SIHC assets, as well as a pledge of 65% of Stanadyne’s stock in SpA, SAPL, and Stanadyne Changshu Corporation (“SCC”). There were no amounts outstanding under the U.S. Revolver as of December 31, 2009, representing $19.3 million of available borrowing, of which $5.8 million was used to secure standby letters of credit. We occasionally utilize capital leasing and, for our foreign operations in China, Italy and India, maintain a combination of overdraft, working capital and term loan facilities with local financial institutions on an as-needed basis.

Indebtedness for Stanadyne as of December 31, 2009 totaled $164.7 million and was comprised of $160.0 million of senior subordinated notes issued by Stanadyne (the “Notes”), $4.2 million in foreign overdraft and revolving credit facilities and $0.5 million in foreign term loans. There were no borrowings under the U.S. Revolver. Unless the availability of funds under the U.S. Revolver is less than $4.0 million, this credit facility is not subject to financial covenants.

Indebtedness for Holdings as of December 31, 2009 totaled $264.7 million, comprised of the same debt facilities for Stanadyne, plus an additional $100.0 million of senior discount notes (the “Senior Discount Notes”) which are due in 2015. The Senior Discount Notes accreted to their full face value in August, 2009. The 12% coupon is payable semi-annually beginning in February, 2010. Holdings has no independent financial resources of its own. The U.S Revolver and the indenture governing the Notes limit the ability of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Holdings. There were no dividends paid to Holdings by any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2009.

Based upon our current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe, but cannot guarantee, that our cash flows from operations and availability under our U.S Revolver and foreign working capital facilities will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. However, this forward-looking statement is subject to risks and uncertainties.

Holdings has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes and Stanadyne has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Notes insofar as the Company did not, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, file with the SEC or furnish to the bondholders a) the Company’s annual financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and a report on the annual financial statements by the Companies’ certified independent accountants as required under the indentures or b) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. The delay in the filing of these reports for each of Holdings and Stanadyne is due to the restatement described in this report. While the Company believes the filing of this Annual Report has cured the failure to so file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes under either of the indentures may notify Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, of its failure to comply with the reporting covenant of the applicable indenture, in which case Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, will have 60 days in which to cure such failure. No such notice has been received through the date of this filing.

Stanadyne received an extension from Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC extending to July 1, 2010 the date by which Stanadyne is required to deliver the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including Stanadyne, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to the agent and lenders under the agreement governing the U.S. Revolver. Stanadyne is delivering such financial statements to the agent and lenders substantially concurrently with the filing of this report.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash flows from operating activities for Stanadyne totaled $1.7 million, $24.9 million and $24.5 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The $23.2 million decrease in operating cash flow during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the prior year was due primarily to the $12.6 million income (as adjusted for non-cash items) during the period compared to the $31.6 million income (as adjusted for non-cash items) during the year ended December 31, 2008. This $19.0 million year-over-year reduction in operating cash flows, when combined with $4.2 million additional cash consumed by changes in asset and liability accounts (primarily working capital accounts) equals the $23.2 million decrease in cash flows from operations in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Changes in working capital accounts affecting our 2009 cash flows from operating activities included the following:

 

   

Cash flows from changes in accounts receivable were $1.8 million less in 2009. While customer receivables decreased proportionately with the lower levels of sales in 2009, the $4.6 million reduction in 2009 accounts receivable was $1.8 million less than the $2.8 million reduction in 2008 accounts receivables. There was no significant credit risk in our customer accounts receivable at the end of 2009.

 

   

Cash flows from changes in inventory levels generated $0.3 million more cash in 2009 than in 2008. Lower customer demand in 2009 required inventory reductions at all of our manufacturing locations. Inventory levels decreased $2.7 million in 2009 or $0.3 million more than the $2.4 million inventory reduction in 2008. Inventory turnover was 6.9x in 2009 versus 8.8x in 2008, reflecting a less efficient use of inventory resulting from depressed business levels in 2009. The consolidation of our North American operations involves relocation of the entire Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing activity. This process requires increases in inventory in order to meet customer delivery schedules while we move equipment to a different location. These temporary inventory stocks totaled approximately $1.0 million at the end of 2009.

Cash flows from changes in accounts payable balances generated $1.5 million more cash in 2009 than in 2008. Accounts payable balances decreased by $2.9 million in 2009 as compared to a decrease of $4.4 million in 2008. Declining accounts payable balances on reduced business levels in 2009 stabilized and began to increase late in the year as business levels began to improve.

 

   

Cash flows from changes in accrued liabilities consumed $7.6 million more cash in 2009 than in 2008, due primarily to disbursement of the 2008 performance bonus payments in 2009 with no offsetting increase in the bonus liability as no bonuses were earned in 2009.

Stanadyne’s cash flows from operating activities in 2008 were $0.4 million higher than in 2007. Operating cash flows before changes in assets and liabilities were $5.3 million higher in 2008 than 2007, due to improved gross profits. Operating cash flows from changes in asset and liability accounts were $4.9 million lower in 2008 as compared to 2007. Accounts receivable provided $0.2 million in added cash when compared to 2007 due to lower sales volume in 2008. Lower customer demand in the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted in higher year end inventory levels. Cash flows from operations were $4.8 million less in 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of less inventory reductions in 2008 versus 2007. Cash flows from changes in other current assets were $2.0 million more in 2008 than in 2007. Lower accounts payable balances in 2008, due primarily to lower levels of business, compared to increasing accounts payable balances in 2007, resulted in a $3.7 million year-over-year negative change in cash flows. Cash flows from changes in liability accounts were $5.6 million greater in 2008 than in 2007 due to lesser amounts paid in 2008 for pension plan contributions, product warranty claims and non-cash reductions in pension and other post employment benefit liabilities related to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits.

Cash flows from operating activities for Holdings for 2009, 2008 and 2007 were substantially the same as the amounts reported for Stanadyne.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities in 2009 and 2008 consumed $8.5 million and $8.7 million of cash, respectively, reflecting primarily our investment in capital equipment in each of those years.

Cash flows from investing activities in 2007 consumed $8.4 million of cash comprised of $9.5 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by approximately $1.1 million from use of residual restricted cash proceeds from the sale of our precision engine segment in 2006 to pay related income taxes.

Our capital expenditures totaled $8.5 million, $8.7 million and $9.5 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Capital expenditures in all three years reflected investments in equipment to increase capacity, reduce costs, and improve quality, safety and ergonomics. Approximately $1.6 million and $2.8 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively, represent capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment in the new Changshu, China location.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Stanadyne’s cash flows from financing activities resulted in net reductions in cash of $16.9 million, $5.3 million and $3.6 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S. based operations in 2009 included reductions in term debt of $15.0 million. The terms of the expired senior credit facility related to excess cash flow generated in 2009, as defined, required reductions in term debt of $9.7 million. The remaining $5.3 million of term debt was prepaid in August 2009. There were no borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit lines as of December 31, 2009, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, provided available liquidity of $13.5 million. Financing cash flows in 2009 also included $1.2 million of payments of debt issuance costs related to establishing the U.S. Revolver.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2009 included a $0.1 million increase in overdraft borrowings at SAPL to finance working capital requirements, as well as scheduled payments of $0.2 million in term loan obligations. Cash flows from financing activities in Stanadyne, SpA included $0.4 million of reduced overdraft borrowings totaling $0.4 million. Cash flows from financing activities in SCC were limited to $0.1 million of increased overdraft borrowings to finance working capital requirements.

Cash flows from financing activities for Holdings in 2009 included the amounts reported for Stanadyne as well as $0.2 million for the net cash consumed for the exercise of stock options and the repurchase of shares of common stock from retiring management shareholders.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S. based operations in 2008 included a $6.2 million reduction in term debt based on the terms of the now expired senior credit facility related to excess cash flow generated in 2007. There were no borrowings under the former U.S. based revolving credit line as of December 31, 2008, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, provided available liquidity of $18.3 million.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2008 included an increase in overdraft borrowings in our Stanadyne, SpA and SCC operations of $0.8 million, and reductions in revolving loans in SAPL of $0.2 million. Increased overdraft borrowings were used to support working capital requirements. Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL also included the proceeds from a five year term loan for $1.0 million with Indian Overseas Bank to finance equipment for the production of fuel injection products. SAPL also made scheduled term loan payments totaling $0.4 million during 2008.

There were no cash flows from financing activities in our U.S.-based operations in 2007. No principal amounts were due for the term loan in 2007. There were no borrowings under the U.S.-based revolving credit line in 2007, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, represented $21.6 million of available liquidity.

Cash flows from financing activities for Holdings resulted in reductions in cash of $17.1 million, $5.4 million, and $3.6 million in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities for Holdings in these three years included the amounts reported for Stanadyne as well as $0.2 million in 2009 and $0.1 million in each of 2008 and 2007 for the repurchase of its common stock due to exercise of stock options.

The Senior Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under Stanadyne’s U.S. Revolver. The Senior Discount Notes are not guaranteed by Holdings’ subsidiaries. The Senior Discount Notes are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Holdings does not have independent financial resources to pay the Senior Discount Notes. Holdings was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Discount Notes as of December 31, 2009, except as noted below.

Because of the delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for each of Holdings and Stanadyne as a result of the restatement described in Note 3, Holdings has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.03 of the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes and Stanadyne has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.03 of the indenture governing the Notes insofar as the Companies did not, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, file with the SEC or furnish to the bondholders (a) the Companies’ annual financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and a report on the annual financial statements by the Companies’ certified independent accountants as required under Section 4.03 of indentures or b) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. The delay in the filing of these reports for each of Holdings and Stanadyne is due to the

Table of Contents

restatement described in Note 3 and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. While the Company believes the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 has cured the failure to file the Annual Report, the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes under either of the indentures may notify Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, of its failure to comply with the reporting covenant of the applicable indenture, in which case Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, will have 60 days in which to cure such failure. No such notice has been received through the date of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and the Company intends to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no later than August 15, 2010. As a result, the Company believes it will cure the violation and accordingly has classified the debt based on its current maturity terms.

Pension Plans. We maintain a qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”), which covers substantially all domestic hourly and salary employees and an unfunded nonqualified plan to provide benefits in excess of amounts permitted to be paid under the provisions of the tax law to participants in the Pension Plan. Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Pension Plan to freeze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits will accrue after that date. The freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan.

The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is developed with reference to historical returns, forward-looking return expectations, the Pension Plan’s investment allocation, and peer comparisons. Stanadyne selected the 8.00% expected return assumption used for 2009 net periodic pension expense with input from the Pension Plan investment advisor. The investment advisor analyzed actual historical returns and future expected returns of asset class benchmarks appropriate to the Pension Plan’s target investment allocation. The analysis also reflected asset return premiums anticipated as a result of active portfolio management, as appropriate for each benchmark asset class. Based on these considerations, Stanadyne used an expected long-term rate of return assumption of 8.00% for 2009 and 8.25% for 2008. Since the expected return on assets assumption is long-term in nature, changes in this assumption are made less frequently than changes in the discount rate assumption.

The discount rate used to value the pension obligation was developed with reference to a number of factors, including the current interest rate environment, benchmark fixed-income yields, peer comparisons, and expected future pension benefit payments. A discount rate of 6.00% established for December 31, 2009 reflects a reduction of 0.25% from the 6.25% rate used at December 31, 2008. The discount rate selected is consistent with the market yields on high quality fixed income securities between December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009. We use a weighted-average of the Moody’s Baa and Aaa rates as a key reference point for discount rate selection. In selecting the discount rate assumption, we also utilize the results of a cash flow model based on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. Under this approach, we discounted the expected future benefit payments under the Company’s Pension Plan using the discount curve, and solved for the single discount rate that would produce the same present value.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne froze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date will not be affected. With respect to such benefits, participants will continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors will continue unchanged. The assets will continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for certain executives participating in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan.

Higher returns on invested Pension Plan assets in 2009 helped increase the value to $69.2 million at December 31, 2009 from $54.6 million at December 31, 2008. Due to the poor returns in the U.S. equity markets in 2008, the value of the Pension Plan assets decreased to $54.6 million at December 31, 2008, from $80.8 million at December 31, 2007. The Company contributed $2.4 million and $3.1 million to the Pension Plan in 2009 and 2008, respectively and expects the minimum required contribution to the Pension Plan in 2010 to be approximately $5.3 million.

During 2009, the unfunded liability for the combined Pension Plan and non-qualified plan decreased by $7.5 million from the prior year to $33.4 million as of December 31, 2009. This reduced liability resulted in an equal pretax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

During 2008, the unfunded liability for the combined Pension Plan and non-qualified plan increased by $28.4 million from the prior year to $40.9 million as of December 31, 2008. This increased liability resulted in an equal pretax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

OFF BALANCE-SHEET OBLIGATIONS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The issues involving significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: revenue recognition, product warranty reserves, inventory reserves for excess or obsolescence, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities and self-insurance reserves.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition. Sales and related costs of sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers, unless delivery terms specify transfer of title at point of destination in which case the sales and related cost of sales are recognized when goods are delivered. The Company enters into long-term contracts with certain customers for the supply of parts during the contract period. The Company establishes estimates for sales returns and allowances based on historical experience. The Company does not provide customers with general rights of return for products sold; however, in limited circumstances, the Company will allow sales returns and allowances from customers if the products sold do not conform to specifications.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets on an annual basis and when other conditions exist by applying a fair value based test. The Company tests for goodwill impairment in two reporting units – Stanadyne Corporation and Stanadyne, SpA. Fair values of the reporting units are derived using an income-based approach. The income-based approach is based on projected future debt-free cash flow that is discounted to present value using factors that consider the timing and risk of the future cash flows. The Company believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting units expected long-term operations and cash flow performance. These projections are discounted to present value using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for market participants, who are generally thought to be industry participants.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and certain definite-lived identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The definite-lived intangible assets include technology/patents, customer contracts and debt issuance costs. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, the Company will recognize an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Product Warranty Reserves. The Company provides a limited warranty for specific products and recognizes the projected cost for this warranty in the period the products are sold. Liability reserves are determined by applying historical warranty experience rates to current period product sales. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available.

Inventory Reserves. The Company maintains its inventories at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for its domestic inventory and on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis for its foreign inventory. When conditions warrant (usually highlighted by slow-moving product or products with pricing constraints), reserves are established to reduce the value of inventory to net realizable values. Annually, the Company reviews and identifies all inventories in excess of five years’ sales requirements. The Company reserves for the full value of this “excess” inventory. If business conditions change during the year, this evaluation is conducted more frequently.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Company provides for pension and other postretirement benefits and makes assumptions with the assistance of independent actuaries about discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets and health care cost trends to determine its net periodic pension and postretirement health care cost. These estimates are based on the Company’s best judgment, including consideration of both current and future market conditions. The Company considers both internal and external evidence to determine the appropriate assumptions. In the event a change in any of the assumptions is warranted, future pension cost as determined in accordance with ASC 715 could increase or decrease.

Self-Insurance Reserves. The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its health care and workers’ compensation insurance programs. With advice and assistance from outside experts, reserves are established using estimates based on, among other factors, reported claims to date, prior claims history, and projections of claims incurred but not reported. Future medical cost trends are incorporated in the projected costs to settle existing claims. If actual results in any of these areas change from prior periods, adjustments to recorded reserves may be required.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Codification. On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 establishes the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements, except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Going forward, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. We have included references to the Codification, as appropriate, in these consolidated financial statements.

Transfers of Financial Assets. ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” (“ASC 860”) improves the relevance and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about transfers of financial assets. The provisions of ASC 860 will be applicable on January 1, 2010 and will be applied prospectively to transfers of financial assets completed after December 31, 2009. We do not anticipate these provisions will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-5, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-5”). This update provides clarification of the fair value measurement of financial liabilities when a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability (level 1 input of the valuation hierarchy) is not available. ASU 2009-5 was effective in the fourth quarter of 2009. This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events. The Accounting Standards Codification establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this statement sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under

 

44


Table of Contents

which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Subsequent Events topic is effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted these standards effective on June 30, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation. In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, “Consolidation” formerly known as “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’). ASC 810 applies prospectively to variable interest entities existing on or after November 15, 2009. The objective of ASC 810 is to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The Company has determined that ASC 810 has no impact on its financial statements.

Fair Value. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU amends ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and establishes new disclosure requirements for increased transparency in financial reporting. This ASU requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. This ASU clarifies ASC 820 disclosure requirements and requires a reporting entity to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets, ASC 715 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.” The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating impact of this ASU.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risks including changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk. The carrying values of the Company’s revolving credit lines and term loans approximate fair value. The revolving credit line in the U.S. is priced based on 90-day LIBOR. The revolving credit and terms loans in the international operations as priced based on prevailing market rates that are adjusted every one to twelve months. A 10% change in the interest rate on the revolving credit lines and term loans would have increased or decreased the 2009 interest expense by less than $0.1 million. The Notes and Discount Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and, therefore, are not sensitive

to interest rate fluctuation. The fair value of the Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2009 was approximately $145.0 million. The fair value of Holdings’ Senior Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2009 was approximately $68.6 million.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Company has operating subsidiaries in Italy, India and China, thereby creating exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s sales, gross margins, and retained earnings. Historically, these locations have contributed less than 15% of the Company’s net sales and retained earnings, with most of these sales attributable to the Italian subsidiary. The Company also prices some of its products in currencies other than the currency of manufacture. Foreign currency exchange gains totaled $0.7 million in 2009 and foreign exchange losses totaled $0.1 million in 2008. The Company does not hedge against foreign currency risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Stanadyne Holdings Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and statement of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stanadyne Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company restated its 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements, which have been previously audited by another Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, to correct errors.

As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company has changed the manner in which it evaluates uncertain tax positions.

STANADYNE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

STANADYNE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands)

(1) Business

Description of Business. Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Automotive Holdings Corp. (“SAHC”). The name of SAHC was changed on July 29, 2009 to Stanadyne Intermediate Holding Corp. (“SIHC”). SIHC owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Stanadyne”). A majority of the outstanding common stock of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. Collectively, Holdings, SIHC and Stanadyne hereinafter are referred to as the “Company.” Holdings and Stanadyne are separate reporting companies. Unless otherwise noted, the notes herein relate to both Holdings and Stanadyne as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Holdings is a holding company with no other operations beyond those of its indirectly, wholly-owned subsidiary, Stanadyne. Stanadyne is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered, precision manufactured engine components, including fuel injection equipment for diesel engines. Stanadyne sells engine components to original equipment manufacturers in a variety of applications, including agricultural and construction vehicles and equipment, industrial products, automobiles, light duty trucks and marine equipment. The aftermarket is a core element of Stanadyne’s business.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restatement of Consolidated Financial statements. Holdings and Stanadyne have restated their consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Refer to Note 3 for information regarding the restatements.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of Holdings and all of Holdings’ direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: SIHC, Stanadyne, Stanadyne, SpA (“SpA”), and Stanadyne Changshu Corporation (“SCC”). A joint venture, Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”), is fully consolidated with Holdings and Stanadyne based on Stanadyne’s 51% controlling share, while the remaining 49% is recorded as a non-controlling interest. The financial statements of SAPL and SpA are consolidated on a fiscal year basis ending November 30 to allow sufficient time for the preparation of financial information for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers cash on hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Stanadyne Corporation invests on an overnight basis in certain cash management funds which are rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s. These funds are not FDIC insured.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The principal components of costs included in inventories are materials, labor, subcontract costs and overhead. The Company uses the last-in/first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing its inventory, except for the inventories of SCC, SpA and SAPL, which are valued using the first-in/first-out (“FIFO”) method. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, inventories valued at LIFO represented $19.0 million and $21.1 million of total inventories, respectively. Application of purchase accounting to the Company’s inventories in conjunction with the 2004 change in control resulted in a base year LIFO inventory value that is greater than the current FIFO value. The LIFO inventory reserve value represents the amount necessary to restate the Company’s U.S.-based inventories valued on a FIFO to LIFO basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment, including significant improvements thereto, are recorded at cost. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the net present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets within the following ranges:

 

Buildings and improvements

   15 to 20 years

Machinery and equipment

   2 to 12 years

Computer hardware and software

   1 to 5 years

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are instead subject to annual impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter of each year and when other events or conditions exist by applying a fair value based test. The Company monitors for events that could trigger an interim impairment review throughout the year. During 2009, we considered whether any factors posed a risk to our business or required a change in our strategic business plan. Given the adverse economic conditions that existed during the year, we carefully weighted all indicators of impairment when considering the carrying value of goodwill. As a result, we concluded there was not a triggering event that warranted an interim assessment during 2009. The Company tests for goodwill impairment in two reporting units – Stanadyne Corporation and Stanadyne, SpA. Fair values of the reporting units are derived using an income-based approach. The income-based approach is based on projected future debt-free cash flow that is discounted to present value using factors that consider the timing and risk of the future cash flows. The Company believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting units expected long-term operations and cash flow performance.

Our discounted cash flow model uses the future projections of operating results and cash flows developed for our Five Year Strategic Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is updated each year for changes in strategic direction and market driven variables. These projections are discounted to present value using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for market participants who are generally thought to be industry participants in the capital goods market. We determine the WACC based on estimates of the cost of equity and the cost of debt, weighted based on the estimated capital structures of similar industry participants. We determine our cost of equity based on a risk-free rate plus a market risk premium for micro-cap companies. We determine our cost of debt based on tax effected Moody’s bond yields plus a risk premium. The resulting WACC rate used in our discounted cash flow analysis was 15% for our U.S. reporting unit and 14% for our Italy-based reporting unit at December 31, 2009.

After determining the enterprise value for each reporting unit, we compare such value to the debt obligations of each based on the fair market value of those obligations. We estimate the fair market value of our debt obligations based on the available bid prices for recent trades of the debt instruments.

In order to corroborate the enterprise value calculated based on the discounted cash flow model, we also consider data for market comparable companies. The trailing 12-month EBITDA multiples for market comparable companies are in excess of the implied EBITDA multiple in our discounted cash flow model. We believe this further validates the results of the enterprise value derived using our discounted cash flow model.

The Company’s annual impairment test concluded that the goodwill was impaired in the SpA reporting unit and charged $6.5 million to operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009. There was no impairment of goodwill in the Stanadyne Corporation reporting unit in 2009.

In recognition of the uncertainty surrounding some of our key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model, we conduct sensitivity analyses measuring the change in fair value in excess of net carrying value due to changes in the WACC and projected cash flow assumptions.

We also conduct annual fair value based impairment tests for other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Those annual impairment tests determined that there were no impairments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Intangible assets consist primarily of technological know-how, trademarks, customer contracts, patents and deferred loan origination costs. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives of 4 to 18.5 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and certain definite-lived identifiable intangible assets to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires the disclosure of fair value information for certain assets and liabilities, whether or not recorded in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate such value. The Company has the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The Company considers the carrying amount of these items, excluding long-term debt, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. Refer to Note 11 for fair value disclosures of long-term debt.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. ASC 820 requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The standard also requires that a company use its own nonperformance risk when measuring liabilities carried at fair value, including derivatives. In February 2008, the FASB approved a FASB Staff Position (FSP) that permits companies to partially defer the effective date of ASC 820 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The FSP did not permit companies to defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are re-measured or disclosed at least annually. ASC 820 is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are re-measured or disclosed at least annually for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of ASC 820 will be applied prospectively. The Company deferred adoption of ASC 820 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any financial or non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company did compare the fair value of the goodwill in our SpA reporting unit to its carrying value value, resulting in a $16.4 million impairment charge in 2009 as discussed in more detail in Note 6.

Product Warranty. The Company provides an accrual for the estimated future warranty costs of its products at the time the revenue is recognized. These estimates are based upon analyses of historical experience of product returns and the related cost.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Company amortizes unrecognized gains and losses exceeding 10% of the accumulated benefit obligation for the pension plans and for the health and life insurance benefits over the average remaining service period of the plan participants. This period approximates the period during which the benefits are earned. This amortization method of postretirement benefit obligations distributes gains and losses over the benefit period of the participants thereby minimizing any volatility caused by actuarial gains and losses.

Non-controlling Interest. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the standards set forth on the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In accordance with these standards, the presentation and disclosure requirements were applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Accordingly, the presentation of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations have been retroactively restated to conform to the 2009 presentation. In addition, the amount attributable to non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2008 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets has been retroactively restated as a component of stockholder’s equity to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and are measured at the current enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when realization of deferred tax assets is not likely.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Company’s policy is to translate balance sheet accounts using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and statement of operations accounts using the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which the transactions are recognized. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains of $701 are included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. Foreign currency transaction losses of $183 and $49 are included in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Revenue Recognition. Sales and related costs of sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers, unless delivery terms specify transfer of title at point of destination in which case the sales and related cost of sales are recognized when goods are delivered. The Company enters into long-term contracts with certain customers for the supply of parts during the contract period. The Company establishes estimates for sales returns and allowances based on historical experience. The Company does not provide customers with general rights of return for products sold; however, in limited circumstances, the Company will allow sales returns and allowances from customers if the products sold do not conform to specifications. Freight on sales is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $1,625, $2,473 and $2,332 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Research and Development. Research and development (“R&D”) costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $13,174, $15,837 and $13,847, respectively, of which $457, $1,268 and $1,711, respectively, were reimbursed by customers. Net R&D expenses of $12,717, $14,569

and $12,136 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. R&D expenses include engineering labor, prototype hardware, and other development costs.

Repair and Maintenance Costs. The Company’s policy is to expense repairs and maintenance as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized where it is probable that the expenditure resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance.

Stock Options. The Company records stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award as if the awards were in-substance, multiple awards, which results in an acceleration of compensation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes that the significant accounting estimates most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the financial results include: product warranty reserves, inventory reserves for excess or obsolescence, realization of goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities, workers’ compensation liabilities, stock compensation and valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Codification. On July 1, 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, also known as ASC 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 establishes the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements, except for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Going forward, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. We have included references to the Codification, as appropriate, in these consolidated financial statements.

Transfers of Financial Assets. ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” (“ASC 860”) improves the relevance and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about transfers of financial assets. The provisions of ASC 860 will be applicable on January 1, 2010 and will be applied prospectively to transfers of financial assets completed after December 31, 2009. We do not anticipate these provisions will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-5, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-5”). This update provides clarification of the fair value measurement of financial liabilities when a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability (level 1 input of the valuation hierarchy) is not available. ASU 2009-5 was effective in the fourth quarter of 2009. This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

(dollars in thousands)

 

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events. The Subsequent Events topic of ASC 855 (“Subsequent Events”) establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this statement sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Subsequent Events topic is effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted these standards effective on June 30, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 “Consolidation” formerly known as No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’). ASC 810 applies prospectively to variable interest entities existing on or after November 15, 2009. The objective of ASC 810 is to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The Company has determined that ASC 810 has no impact on its financial statements.

Fair Value. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU amends ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and establishes new disclosure requirements for increased transparency in financial reporting. This ASU requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. This ASU clarifies ASC 820 disclosure requirements and requires a reporting entity to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets, ASC 715 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.” The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating impact of this ASU.

(3) Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and Stanadyne for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, certain errors were identified that affected the Company’s reported results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008 as well as the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009. The errors are primarily related to the following:

 

   

The use of an incorrect base year index when calculating LIFO liquidation adjustments in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

 

   

The use of inaccurate participant information in the calculation of the curtailment gain associated with freezing benefits covered by our pension plan in 2007 and inaccurate surviving beneficiary information used to calculate our periodic pension expense in 2008.

 

   

The misclassification of our accrued pension liability and amounts recoverable from our workers compensation insurance carrier.

 

   

The failure to calculate and record the foreign currency translation effect related to goodwill associated with Stanadyne, SpA since 2004.

 

   

The use of an incorrect method to amortize deferred debt origination costs since 2004.

 

   

The recording of certain 2006 and 2007 sales in the incorrect year affecting 2006, 2007 and 2008 sales.

 

   

The use of an incorrect rate for calculating state deferred income taxes in connection with the Stanadyne purchase price allocation in 2004 and in subsequent periods for determining deferred income taxes.

 

   

Failure to record a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets related to Stanadyne, SpA in 2007.

As a consequence of certain of these errors, on April 15, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of each of Holdings and Stanadyne, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company would restate its consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 as well as the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009 in order to correctly present the Company’s financial results and correct the errors identified.

(dollars in thousands)

 

A description of the errors follows:

LIFO inventory – Beginning in 2006, and again in 2007 and 2008, the Company liquidated its LIFO inventory using an incorrect base year index. As a result, cost of goods sold was understated by $542 and $1,329 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cumulative effect of this error resulted in the LIFO inventory balance being overstated by $2,273 as of December 31, 2008.

Pension plan accounting – Effective March 31, 2007, the Company amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) (the “Pension Plan”) to freeze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. The effect of the Pension Plan freeze resulted in a previously reported curtailment gain of $10,015 in 2007. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company discovered that incomplete data had been used in 2007 for 31 of the 1,407 plan participants to calculate the remaining projected benefit obligation for the Pension Plan. As a result, the curtailment gain, which is included in selling, general, administrative and other operating expenses, had been overstated by $957 in the year ending December 31, 2007. Also during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company identified an error in the information related to surviving beneficiaries that was omitted from the measurement of the projected benefit obligation in 2008 by the Company’s actuary. This error resulted in an understatement of the projected benefit obligation and pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result of these errors, the pension expense recorded by the Company in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was understated $55 and $20, respectively, and general, selling, administrative and other operating expenses was understated $54 and $31, respectively. The cumulative nature of these errors also resulted in the understatement of the reported pension liability by $1,835 at December 31, 2008. The errors also had the effect of increasing the other comprehensive loss by $751 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and increasing other comprehensive income by $43 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Accumulated other comprehensive loss was understated $718 at December 31, 2008. Further, as of December 31, 2008, the Company has reclassified $2,411 of its accrued pension liability from current to long-term to properly reflect the long-term nature of the liability.

Foreign currency translation of goodwill – Beginning in August 2004, the Company had not translated goodwill arising from the acquisition of Stanadyne, SpA using foreign currency rates at the end of each reporting period. As a result, other comprehensive loss was understated $894 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other comprehensive income was understated $640 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The cumulative nature of this error also resulted in the goodwill asset balance being understated and the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance being overstated $194 as of December 31, 2008.

Purchase accounting – In connection with the acquisition of Stanadyne in 2004, the Company used an incorrect rate to record the state deferred income tax liabilities in the opening balance sheet. As such, deferred income tax liabilities were overstated by $2,359. The offsetting adjustment was to decrease goodwill associated with that acquisition by $2,359.

Deferred debt origination cost amortization – The Company had been using the straight-line method for amortizing deferred debt origination costs instead of the effective interest method which is required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such Holdings interest expense was overstated by $273 and $371 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and Stanadyne interest expense was overstated by $269 and $341 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Further, deferred debt origination costs for Holdings and Stanadyne were understated by $973 and $807, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.

(dollars in thousands)

 

Sales cut-off – The Company identified certain sales that were shipped in 2006 and 2007 that were recorded as sales in the incorrect years. To correct these errors, the Company increased net sales by $2,951 and increased cost of goods sold by $2,408 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and decreased net sales by $137 and decreased cost of goods sold by $136 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Deferred Income Tax Valuation Allowance The Company corrected its previous position regarding the realization of deferred income tax assets related to its SpA subsidiary. Although the Company had taken actions in 2007 to improve operating results, SpA had reported significant operating losses over the three year period ended December 31, 2007. Management has now concluded that the negative evidence related to the accumulated operating losses outweighed the positive evidence related to anticipated future improvements in operating results as a result of changes in operations. As such, management has corrected this error and has recorded a $4.0 million deferred income tax valuation allowance adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company maintained these income tax valuation allowances for 2009 and 2008.

Other errors – The Company also corrected other immaterial errors that had been identified in prior years. In 2008, cost of goods sold was understated $150 related to the Company’s product warranty liability. In 2007, cost of goods sold was overstated $150 related to an overstatement of the Company’s accrued warranty liability as of December 31, 2007. Also in 2007, the Company’s selling, general, administrative and other operating expenses were understated $112 related to expenses associated with Stanadyne, SpA that had been originally recorded in 2006.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has also been restated to report, on a gross basis, the amount recoverable from the Company’s workers compensation insurance carrier that had previously been netted against our related workers compensation liability. As such, intangible and other assets and other non-current liabilities have both been increased by $1,613 as of December 31, 2008.

Other Income taxes – The Company has recorded the income tax effect of the above corrections. Also, the Company reduced its deferred tax rate for 2007, 2008, and 2009 to correct an error in the state tax rate used in those years. Further, the Company increased its income tax expense in 2008 and 2007 by $283 and $35, respectively, relating to local taxes at Stanadyne, SpA and the Holdings income tax expense was decreased by $251 in 2008 and increased by $251 in 2007 to record the tax effects of non-deductable interest expense in the proper period. The combined income tax adjustment for Holdings, including the adjustments for deferred income tax valuation allowance described above, was a decrease of income tax expense of $67 in 2008 and an increase of income tax expense of $3,150 in 2007. The combined income tax adjustment for Stanadyne, including the adjustments for deferred income tax valuation allowance described above, was an increase of income tax expense of $422 and $3,176 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cumulative income tax adjustment resulted in a decrease in current deferred income of $702 and an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $353 for Holdings and $256 for Stanadyne as of December 31, 2008.

Cumulative adjustments as of January 1, 2007 – As of January 1, 2007, the Holdings accumulated deficit was understated by $916 related to the overstatement of amortization of debt issuance costs ($326), the understatement of the LIFO inventory adjustment ($402), the overstatement of accounts receivable and understatement of inventories relating to delivery terms associated with certain shipments ($2,815 and $2,272, respectively), and the overstatement of certain expenses associated with Stanadyne, SpA ($112). Total net income tax benefit related to these errors total $372. As of January 1, 2007, the Stanadyne retained earnings was overstated by $1,255 related to the overstatement of amortization of debt issuance

costs ($197), the understatement of the LIFO inventory adjustment ($402), the overstatement of accounts receivable and understatement of inventories relating to delivery terms associated with certain shipments ($2,815 and $2,272, respectively), and the overstatement of certain expenses associated with Stanadyne, SpA ($112). Total net income tax benefit related to these errors total $319. Further, accumulated other comprehensive income for Holdings and Stanadyne as of January 1, 2007 was understated by $453 related to the foreign currency translation of the Stanadyne, SpA goodwill ($448) and translation of other restated accounts ($5).

Our annual impairment test for 2009 was completed during the fourth quarter. This test relies on a discounted cash flow analysis of the operating cash flows reflected in our long term strategic plan. The result of this analysis concluded that the projected discounted cash flows generated by our Stanadyne, SpA reporting unit did not support the carrying value of that business. This change from the prior year impairment test was due to a strategic decision in the fourth quarter of 2009 to support new business growth in Asia with products manufactured by our Changshu, China operation and not our Italy-based operation. As a result, Stanadyne’s annual impairment test concluded that the goodwill was impaired in the Stanadyne, SpA reporting unit and charged $6.5 million to operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009. There was no impairment of goodwill in the Stanadyne Corporation reporting unit in 2009. No portion of the goodwill is tax deductible.

Estimated annual amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets is expected to be $3,160 in 2010, $2,944 in 2011, $2,816 in 2012, $2,816 in 2013 and $2,202 in 2014.

Included in amortization of debt issuance costs for both Stanadyne and Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2009 is $0.1 million of accelerated amortization related to the early retirement of the Company’s Term Loans. As a result of the retirement of the Term Loans, the Company reduced the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for the $2,117 fully amortized cost associated with the Term Loans. Additionally, approximately $1.2 million of debt issuance costs were capitalized in connection with the Company’s new revolving credit facility (see Note 9) which will be amortized over the four year term of that facility.

In 2004, Stanadyne refinanced its existing U.S. senior bank facility comprised of term loans and revolving credit lines, which resulted in one new term loan (the “Term Loans”) and a new revolving credit line (the “Revolving Credit Line”). In addition, Stanadyne issued new senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) totaling $160,000.

On August 13, 2009, Stanadyne (as borrower) and SIHC (as guarantor) entered into a new revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC (“U.S. Revolver”). This U.S. Revolver replaced the Revolving Credit Line that expired on August 6, 2009 which was part of the Company’s senior credit facility with Goldman Sachs and CIT Group. The U.S. Revolver provides for maximum borrowings of $30 million based on availability, as defined, and is secured by all Stanadyne and SIHC assets, as well as a pledge of 65% of Stanadyne’s stock in SpA, SAPL, and SCC. The U.S. Revolver is comprised of a domestic inventory accounts receivable facility, a domestic fixed asset facility and a foreign accounts receivable sub-facility guaranteed by the United States Export Import Bank. In conjunction with the completion of the agreement for the new U.S. Revolver, the Company repaid the remaining $5.4 million outstanding under the Term Loans using cash on hand. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Revolver is at either a Base Rate (as defined by the agreement) or three month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging between 3.75% and 4.25%, depending on the level of excess availability. Any borrowings under the U.S. Revolver become due and payable on August 13, 2013. The U.S. Revolver is subject to a fixed

charge coverage ratio covenant test if availability is less than $4.0 million, and certain other affirmative and negative covenants common to an asset-backed loan agreement. The U.S. Revolver also limits the amount of dividends and other payments that can be made by Stanadyne to Holdings. Further, the Company is required to provide annual audited financial statements to the bank within 105 days at year end. The bank has extended this due date to July 1, 2010.

In connection with this new loan agreement, the Company made two changes. First, as discussed in Note 1, SAHC changed its legal name to Stanadyne Intermediate Holding Corp. to better reflect its positioning in the overall corporate structure. Second, the former Precision Engine Products Corp. entity was formally dissolved on July 22, 2009. As a result of the dissolution of PEPC, the guarantee structure related to the Senior Subordinated Notes is no longer in place, and accordingly, the supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements relating to the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Stanadyne are no longer required.

At December 31, 2009, Stanadyne had a total borrowing availability of $19,285 against the total maximum limit of the $30,000 U.S. Revolver of which $5,792 was used for standby letters of credit. Any amounts outstanding under the U.S. Revolver are payable on August 13, 2013. If there were any borrowings on the U.S. Revolver, the interest rate would have been 4.0% at December 31, 2009. Stanadyne also pays a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the foreign accounts receivable sublimit and a 1.0% commitment fee on the unused portion of the balance of the U.S. Revolver.

At December 31 2008, the Company had $15,000 in Term Loans outstanding. The Company repaid $10.0 million of Term Loans in the second quarter of 2009, as a result of the Excess Cash Flow, as the term is defined by the Term Loans, generated in 2008. The Company repaid $6.2 million of the Term Loan in 2008 as a result of the Excess Cash Flow generated in 2007. There were no required Term Loan payments in 2007. The Term Loans were primarily LIBOR borrowings that were re-priced approximately every month based on prevailing market rates. Accrued interest was calculated on outstanding term loan balances at 4.46% on December 31, 2008. Interest was paid each calendar quarter.

The Revolving Credit Line and Term Loans (the “Senior Bank Facility”) were obligations of Stanadyne Corporation (the “Borrower”) and were guaranteed by SIHC and each domestic subsidiary of SIHC, other than the Borrower (the “Guarantors”). The Senior Bank Facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and by a pledge of substantially all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of SpA and SAPL. In addition, the Senior Bank Facility was subject to financial and other covenants, including limits on indebtedness, liens and capital expenditures, and restrictions on dividends or other distributions to stockholders.

Stanadyne had $160,000 of Notes outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008 at a fixed interest rate of 10.00%. The Notes are due on August 15, 2014. Payment of the Notes is an obligation of Stanadyne and was guaranteed by the former PEPC subsidiary. In addition, the Notes are subject to covenants including limitations on indebtedness, liens, and dividends or other distributions to stockholders.

On December 20, 2004, Holdings issued $100 million of senior discount notes (the “Senior Discount Notes”) due in 2015. The Senior Discount Notes bear interest at a stated rate of 12%. The Senior Discount Notes were issued at a discounted price of 58.145% resulting in net proceeds of approximately $58,145 before considering financing costs. Interest accreted until August 15, 2009 and then accrued cash-pay interest thereafter. The Senior Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under the U.S. Revolver and the former Senior Bank Facility. The Senior Discount Notes are not guaranteed by

Stanadyne or any of the other subsidiaries of Holdings and are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Amortization of original issue discount interest expense was $6,966 and $10,238 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Holdings has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes and Stanadyne has failed to comply with the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing the Notes insofar as the Company did not, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, file with the SEC or furnish to the bondholders a) the Company’s annual financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and a report on the annual financial statements by the Companies’ certified independent accountants as required under the indentures or b) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. The delay in the filing of these reports for each of Holdings and Stanadyne is due to the restatement described in Note 3 and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. While the Company believes the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 has cured the failure to file the Annual Report, the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes under either of the indentures may notify Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, of its failure to comply with the reporting covenant of the applicable indenture, in which case Stanadyne or Holdings, as applicable, will have 60 days in which to cure such failure. No such notice has been received through the date of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and the Company intends to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no later than August 15, 2010. As a result, the Company believes it will cure the violation and accordingly has classified the debt based on its current maturity terms.

Stanadyne received an extension from Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC extending to July 1, 2010 the date by which Stanadyne is required to deliver the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including Stanadyne, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to the agent and lenders under the agreement governing the U.S. Revolver. Stanadyne is delivering such financial statements to the agent and lenders substantially concurrently with the filing of this report.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s current and long-term borrowings at SAPL was 7.4% and 9.2%, respectively.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings at SpA was 4.10% and 6.46%, respectively.

The fair values of the Company’s Term Loans and short-term borrowings approximated their recorded values at December 31, 2008 based on similar borrowing agreements offered by other major institutional banks. The fair value of the Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $145,000 and $109,600, respectively. The fair value of Holdings’ Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $68,625 and $45,000, respectively.

(12) Pensions

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all of the domestic hourly and salaried employees. Benefits under the pension plan are based on years of service and compensation levels during employment for salaried employees and for the years of service for hourly employees. It is the policy of the Company to fund the pension plan in an amount at least equal to the minimum required contribution as determined by the plan’s actuaries, but not in excess of the maximum tax-deductible amount under Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may make discretionary contributions of any amount within this range based on financial circumstances and strategic considerations which typically vary from year to year. Plan assets are invested primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities.

The Company also has two nonqualified plans titled the “Stanadyne Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan” and the “Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan” (together, the “SERP”), which are designed to supplement the benefits payable to designated employees under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan. The annual benefit payable under the SERP is equal to the difference between the benefit the designated employee would have received under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan if certain Code limitations did not apply to the designated employee’s Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan benefit.

Benefits may be paid under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan and the SERP in the form of (i) a straight-life annuity for the life of the participant; (ii) a 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity whereby the participant receives a reduced monthly benefit for life and the surviving spouse receives 50%, 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly benefit for life; and (iii) for participants with an accrued benefit of $5 or less, a lump sum. The SERP expense was $307, $295 and $323 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) (the “Pension Plan”) to freeze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date were not affected. With respect to such benefits, participants continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors, remain unchanged. The assets continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for certain executives participating in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan.

The effect of the Pension Plan freeze resulted in curtailment gains of $9,039 for the Pension Plan and $19 for the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan. These one-time curtailment gains are equal to the reduction in the plans’ projected benefit obligations due to the freeze of $8,425 and unrecognized prior service costs of $633.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and the accrued benefit obligation of the Pension Plans in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Discount rate

   6.25   6.25   6.00

Expected long-term rate of return on assets

   8.00   8.25   8.25

Changes to the Pension Plan to freeze benefits as of March 31, 2007 made assumptions for future salary compensation increases unnecessary for valuation of the December 31, 2009 and 2008 benefit obligation.

The discount rate used to value the pension obligation is developed with consideration given to a number of factors, including the current interest rate environment, benchmark fixed-income yields, peer comparisons, and expected future pension benefit payments.

The expected return on assets assumption is developed with reference to historical returns, forward-looking return expectations, the pension plan’s investment allocation, and peer comparisons.

In selecting the expected return assumption, the Company takes into consideration information provided by the pension plan trustee and the pension plan’s actuary. Based on the asset allocation percentages in the Company’s current investment policy, the actuary’s January 2009 investment return model produced a range of expected investment returns over the next 20 years of 5.4% to 9.3%. Based on the 5,000 investment return simulations produced by the model, it is anticipated that a passively invested fund allocated in accordance with the Company’s investment policy would generate an average annual return over the 20-year projection period equal to or in excess of 5.4% three-quarters of the time, while returns of 9.3% or greater would be anticipated 25% of the time.

Therefore, the “best-estimate” range, based on this model, is 5.4% to 9.3%. Based on the foregoing considerations, and historical performance of the fund assets since 1988, the Company believes that an expected return assumption of 8.00% per annum is reasonable.

The Company was required to make $0.8 million in contributions to the Pension Plan in 2009 for the 2008 plan year. The minimum required contribution in 2008 for the 2007 plan year was approximately $1.6 million. Minimum required contributions for the calendar years 2009 and 2008 were $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Company expects the minimum required contribution to the Pension Plan in 2010 will be approximately $5.3 million.

Asset management objectives include maintaining a level of diversification, to reduce interest rate and market risk, and to provide an adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. The company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of 68% growth seeking assets, 17% in income generating assets and 15% in a hedge fund which is designed to improve portfolio efficiency, and to provide returns that are between equity and fixed income, with a risk profile similar to fixed into securities. Our actual retirement plan asset allocations by level within the fair value hierarchy are presented as of December 31, 2009. Level 1 assets represent mutual funds that are valued at quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 3 funds are based on significant unobservable inputs.

Level 3 assets represent a fund of hedge funds. The initial investment was made on August 31, 2009. The fund allows withdrawals after the first year but subject to a 65 day notification and are only permitted on the last business day of the calendar quarter. Assets are valued based on our assessment of the fair value as presented by SEI’s, our investment adviser, fund performance committee which requires judgment and may affect their valuation.

The Company reviewed the market rate at the time of purchase and performed a roll forward of the asset value to year-end by reviewing the audited report as of March 31, 2009. From there, the Company determined the returns based on the quarterly valuation reports as provided by SEI Corporation. SEI evaluates and reports monthly performance as well as evaluates and addresses any organizational/operational changes as they relate to the fund. As of December 31, 2009, the Level 3 assets consisted of 36 funds which comprise the hedge fund. Stanadyne owns 10,657.751 shares which represents 0.0067% of the fund.

The equity securities and debt securities do not directly include any amounts of Company stock, Notes or Discount Notes at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Assets are generally rebalanced to the target asset allocation monthly.

In accordance with Italian Civil Code, the Company provides employees of SpA a leaving indemnity payable upon termination of employment. The amount of this leaving indemnity is determined by the employee’s category, length of service, and overall remuneration earned during service. Amounts included as part of accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, in total, at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $5,740 and $5,078, respectively. Leaving indemnity expense was $652, $849 and $847 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(13) Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries currently make available certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees if they were hired before January 1, 2007. Full-time employees of the Company, hired before January 1, 2007, may become eligible for those benefits when they reach retirement, provided they are age 57 or older and have at least ten consecutive years of service immediately preceding retirement, if such programs are still in effect.

Effective June 1, 2003, the Company implemented changes to the retiree health plans by standardizing cost sharing guidelines for all U.S. retirees. The Company’s cost commitment for employees who were hired prior to 1997 is one hundred dollars per month per eligible participant prior to becoming Medicare-eligible and fifty dollars per month when Medicare-eligible. Employees hired after 1996 are required to pay the full cost of postretirement medical coverage. Employees who retired before 1998 are eligible for Company-provided life insurance benefits. Employees who retire after 1997 are allowed to purchase life insurance through the Company at full cost.

U.S. federal, state and foreign net income taxes paid by the Company amounted to $5,483, $3,482 and $8,239 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes from domestic operations of Holdings was $(10,585), $9,340 and $16,607 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Income before taxes from domestic operations of Stanadyne was $63, $19,857 and $25,949 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Loss from continuing operations before taxes from foreign operations of the Company was $16,632, $4,076 and $8,022 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has unused foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $14,997 at December 31, 2009 of which $5,018 will expire in 2011, $5,907 will expire in 2012, $530 will expire in 2013 and $3,542 will expire in 2014.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Holdings had valuation allowances of $1,431 and $1,086, respectively, for state tax benefits that will not be realized. In addition, Holdings and Stanadyne recorded a valuation allowance of $2,984 and $4,693 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Due to the history of losses in the Stanadyne, SpA business and the continuing uncertainty in the global economic recovery, the Companies established a valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2007 to recognize that it was no longer more likely than not that the Stanadyne, SpA business would realize the benefit of its net operating loss carry-forwards prior to their expiration. It is more likely than not that all other deferred tax assets will be fully realized based on projections for future taxable income and the expectation that a significant portion of these deferred tax assets will be realized by offsetting them against temporary items.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31 are presented as follows:

All of the unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate. A liability of $784 and $366 was recorded at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income tax expense for potential penalties and interest of $30, $32 and $41 was recorded during 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect any material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits to occur over the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and foreign jurisdictions, and the Company is subject to routine audit by many different tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2005.

(15) 401(k) Plan

Substantially all of the Company’s domestic employees are eligible to participate in the Stanadyne Corporation Savings Plus Plan (“401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan provides such employees with the opportunity to save for retirement on a tax deferred basis. Effective April 1, 2007, the 401(k) Plan was amended to: (i) increase Stanadyne’s matching contribution to 100% of employee pre-tax contributions on the first 1% of compensation and 50% of employee pre-tax contributions on the next 5% of compensation so that if an employee contributes 6% of compensation, the Stanadyne match would total 3.5% of that employee’s compensation; and (ii) provide for automatic enrollment at 3% of compensation for all new employees and all current employees who were not then contributing 3% or more of compensation. The Company made matching contributions of $541, $1,649 and $1,407 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Due to the depressed economic conditions, the Company matching contributions were suspended in May, 2009.

(16) Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2009, there were no stock options exercised. During the year ended December 31, 2008, four former and retiring employees exercised stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock at $0.47 per share for $36. During 2009, 2008 and 2007 a total of 212,500, 112,500 and 100,000 shares, respectively were purchased by the Company for $223, $106 and $82, respectively and are held as treasury stock.

Stock Options. In August 2004, Holdings established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”) to provide for the award of non-qualified stock options to attract and retain people who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards granted under the Option Plan vest over a period of three to four years contingent upon achievement of certain financial performance targets as defined by the Option Plan and expire 10 years after the date of grant. There are 16,000,000 shares authorized for the Option Plan with 2,366,170 available for future grants at December 31, 2009.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, fair value of common stock, and forfeiture rate. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
2009
    Year Ended
December 31,
2008
    Year Ended
December 31,
2007
 

Risk-free interest rate

   3.40   3.85   5.14

Expected dividend yield

   0.0   0.0   0.0

Expected volatility

   33   33   30

Expected term in years

   6.25      6.25      6.25   

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of small capitalization companies in the same industry sector as the Company. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method described in the guidance provided by the ASC 718. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option.

(20) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings generally incidental to its business. While the results of any litigation or regulatory issue contain an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of any known, pending or threatened legal proceeding, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to potential environmental liability and various claims and legal actions which are pending or may be asserted against the Company concerning environmental matters. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997, Metromedia agreed to partially indemnify the Company for certain environmental matters.

(dollars in thousands)

 

The effect of this indemnification is to limit environmental exposure of known sites. However, there are limitations to this indemnification. Estimates of future costs of environmental matters are inevitably imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the development and application of new technologies, the identification of new sites for which the Company may have remediation responsibility and the apportionment and collectability of remediation costs among responsible parties. The Company establishes reserves for these environmental matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable and has accrued its best estimate, $892 and $901, with respect to these matters at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. However, management does not believe that the costs associated with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company provides a limited warranty for specific products and recognizes the projected cost for this warranty in the period the products are sold. The Company’s warranty accrual is included as a component of accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s warranty accrual are presented below:

(24) Reorganization

During the second quarter of 2009, as a part of its strategic plan and cost reduction initiatives, the Company decided to consolidate its U.S. based manufacturing capacity. This will result in the closure of manufacturing operations in the Company’s Windsor, Connecticut location by 2011 and expansion of its operations in its North Carolina locations. The Company incurred $3.0 million in reorganization costs related to this consolidation in the year ended December 31, 2009. These costs were primarily for staffing to manage the project and costs to relocate equipment and are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. On June 23, 2009, the Company announced that hourly and salaried employees of the Windsor, Connecticut workforce that will be displaced by this consolidation will receive compensation, based on years of service and skill level, if they remain employed until their positions are eliminated. This “completion bonus” is projected to approximate $2.7 million. The Company accrued $1.1 million in relation to this completion bonus in 2009 which is reflected as a component of cost of goods sold within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such amount has not been paid as of December 31, 2009.

As part of the 2009 reorganization activities, the Company also recognized $0.6 million of additional depreciation expense related to a change in the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment in its U.S. operations. This amount was included as a component of cost of sales.

During 2007, Stanadyne executed reorganization plans targeted to improve efficiencies in several of its locations. The U.S. salaried workforce was reorganized resulting in the elimination of 31 salaried positions. In connection with the reorganization, the Company recorded a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million related to termination benefits. As of December 31, 2007, $0.4 million was paid with the remainder paid in 2008. The workforce in Italy was also reorganized in 2007 resulting in the elimination of 41 positions and a charge of $1.2 million to selling, general and administrative expenses for termination benefits. As of the end of 2007, $0.6 million was paid with the remainder paid in 2008. Finally, the Company consolidated its European sales and marketing activity in

the Brescia, Italy location, allowing the closure of the Trappes, France office. A total of 9 positions were eliminated as a result of this reorganization, while three others were transferred to other Stanadyne locations. In connection with this action, the Company recorded a charge of $0.9 million to selling, general and administrative expenses related to termination benefits. As of December 31, 2007, $0.3 million was paid; the remainder was paid in 2008.

As part of the 2007 reorganization activities, the Company also recognized $0.9 million of additional depreciation expense related to a change in the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment in its U.S. and Italy-based operations as further described below. This amount was included as a component of cost of sales.

In the U.S. operations, aluminum die casting operations was outsourced, resulting in the disposal of the associated equipment before the end of its previously estimated life, resulting in a $0.7 million increase to depreciation expense during 2007.

In the Italy operations, the previously mentioned Italy reorganization included eliminating certain equipment, which resulted in the remaining carrying value associated with that equipment being depreciated over the course of 2007, resulting in a $0.2 million increase to depreciation expense.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Restatement

(a) Background

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and Stanadyne for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, certain errors were identified that affected the Company’s reported results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008 as well as the first three quarters of 2009 and 2008. The errors, which are more fully described in the Explanatory Note to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7 and Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, related to the following:

 

   

The use of an incorrect base year index when calculating LIFO liquidation adjustments in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

 

   

The use of inaccurate participant information in the calculation of the curtailment gain associated with freezing benefits covered by our pension plan in 2007 and inaccurate surviving beneficiary information used to calculate our periodic pension expense in 2008.

 

   

The misclassification of our accrued pension liability and amounts recoverable from our worker’s compensation insurance carrier.

 

   

The failure to calculate and record the foreign currency translation effect related to goodwill associated with Stanadyne, SpA since 2004.

 

   

The use of an incorrect method to amortize deferred debt origination costs since 2004.

 

   

The recording of certain 2006 and 2007 sales in the incorrect year.

 

   

The use of an incorrect rate for calculating state deferred income taxes in connection with the Stanadyne purchase price allocation in 2004 and in subsequent periods for determining deferred income taxes.

 

   

The failure to record a valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets related to Stanadyne, SpA in 2007.

As a consequence of these errors, on April 15, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of each of Holdings and Stanadyne, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company would restate its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and as of January 1, 2007 as well as the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009 in order to correctly present the Company’s financial results and correct the errors identified.

The consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report have been restated to correct the identified errors.

(b) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Holdings

As of December 31, 2009, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Holdings’ disclosure controls and procedures was conducted by management under the supervision and with the participation of the President and Chief Financial Officer of Holdings. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the

 

48


Table of Contents

Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and including that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer of Holdings, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation and in connection therewith, the restatement of previously issued financial statements described above and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Holdings have concluded that Holdings’ disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009.

Stanadyne

As of December 31, 2009, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Stanadyne’s disclosure controls and procedures was conducted by management under the supervision and with the participation of the President and Chief Financial Officer of Stanadyne. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and including that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer of Stanadyne, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation and in connection therewith, the restatement of previously issued financial statements described above and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Stanadyne have concluded that Stanadyne’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009.

(c) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

Holdings

Holdings’ management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of Holdings’ financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting involves policies and procedures that (i) require maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately reflect the Holdings’ financial transactions and disposition of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that these transactions are recorded as required to support preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the Board of Directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance for the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized use of the Holdings’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Holdings’ management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Holdings’ annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weakness described below, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009.

 

49


Table of Contents

Holdings did not maintain effective controls to ensure completeness, valuation and appropriate presentation and disclosure over certain accounts described below, which led to the misstatement of its financial statements and related financial disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the first three quarters of 2009 and 2008. Management has concluded that (a) the Company lacks sufficient accounting professionals with necessary knowledge, experience and training to adequately account for and perform adequate supervisory reviews of certain significant and primarily non-routine transactions and technical accounting matters and (b) the Company lacks adequate controls regarding training in the relevant accounting guidance, review, and documentation of certain complex, and primarily non-routine accounting transactions and review of required accounting disclosures. Collectively, these factors resulted in the misapplication of accounting principles primarily impacting several accounts including cost of goods sold, interest expense and income taxes as reported in our statements of operations and inventories, pension liabilities, deferred debt origination costs, certain components of OCI, goodwill and deferred income taxes as reported on our balance sheets. Because these control deficiencies could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts or other accounts not noted and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of Holdings’ registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by Holdings’ registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits Holdings to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Stanadyne

Stanadyne’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of Stanadyne’s financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting involves policies and procedures that (i) require maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately reflect Stanadyne’s financial transactions and disposition of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that these transactions are recorded as required to support preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the Board of Directors; (iii) provide reasonable assurance for the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized use of Stanadyne’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Stanadyne’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Stanadyne’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weakness described below, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by Stanadyne’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits Stanadyne to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(d) Remediation plan

Holdings

As of December 31, 2009, Holdings had not remediated the material weakness. We have initiated the following action steps subsequent to December 31, 2009:

 

   

Filling our vacant Manager of Financial Reporting position with an accountant with the necessary knowledge, experience and expertise in U.S. GAAP with respect to significant non-routine transactions and technical accounting matters.

 

   

Implementing controls regarding the enhancement of detailed accounting policies, and updating those policies for new developments and accounting pronouncements.

 

   

Instituting periodic internal control and accounting training for our accounting department designed to ensure our accounting personnel further develops its knowledge, expertise and training in U.S. GAAP with respect to significant non-routine transactions and technical accounting matters.

 

   

Implementing and modifying controls to ensure that significant, complex and non-routine transactions are timely identified, researched, documented, reviewed and evaluated so that such transactions are properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

   

Identifying technical accounting and other assistance from third parties to supplement our accounting department when evaluating the proper accounting for significant and non-routine transactions and implementing a policy with respect to the engagement of such third parties.

Management is developing a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remediation efforts and will monitor the implementation. In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Holdings’ internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Implementing and modifying controls to ensure that significant, complex and non-routine transactions are timely identified, researched, documented, reviewed and evaluated so that such transactions are properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

   

Identifying technical accounting and other assistance from third parties to supplement our accounting department when evaluating the proper accounting for significant and non-routine transactions and implementing a policy with respect to the engagement of such third parties.

Management is developing a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remediation efforts and will monitor the implementation. In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Stanadyne’s internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

(e) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, Holdings’ internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following table sets forth the name and age as of December 31, 2009 and position as of March 10, 2010 of each person who is a member of the Board of Directors or an executive officer of each of Holdings and Stanadyne. In connection with the Transactions, Holdings, Kohlberg and other stockholders of Holdings entered into the KSTA Holdings Stockholders Agreement, dated August 6, 2004 (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which such persons were granted certain registration rights and participation rights. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Kohlberg has the right to elect the directors of Holdings. Consequently, Holdings does not have a nominating committee. All directors serve for the term for which they are elected or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until death, retirement, resignation or removal. All directors of Holdings also serve as directors of Stanadyne. All directors, other than M. David Jones, are affiliated with Kohlberg & Company, L.L.C. and have been selected to be directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement based on their experience in serving as directors of other Kohlberg portfolio companies, many of which are manufacturing companies like Stanadyne, which we believe make them well qualified to serve as directors. Mr. Jones, President of Holdings and Chief Executive Officer of Stanadyne, brings over 40 years of experience in manufacturing and engine-related businesses which we believe make him well qualified to serve as a director of both companies.

Directors do not receive compensation for their services as directors, with the exception of Mr. Wiggins. Mr. Wiggins, as Chairman of the Board of Stanadyne, received $218,950 in annual salary in 2009 and $250,000 in each of 2008 and 2007, in addition to earning bonus amounts of $218,750 and $231,250 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. There was no bonus earned in 2009. Directors are entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their travel to and attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof. There are no family relationships between any director and executive officer.

of Holdings and Stanadyne has determined that Mr. Hollander has the attributes of an “audit committee financial expert” pursuant to the regulations of the SEC. However, Mr. Hollander may not be considered “independent” pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Holdings’ or Stanadyne’s securities were so listed (which they are not), as he is an employee of the majority stockholder of Holdings. Security holders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC relating to Mr. Hollander’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on Mr. Hollander any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committees and Boards of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committees or Boards of Directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

All of the Company’s employees and directors are subject to the terms of its formal Business Ethics Policy and Foreign Corrupt Practices Compliance Policy (the “Policies”). These Policies define in addition to other issues, the legal, moral and ethical guidelines which all employees, including executive officers, are required to follow in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities. Although the Company is not subject to the listing requirements for equity issuers which would require having a code of ethics, the Policies constitute a code of ethics within the guidelines set forth in Regulation S-K Item 406. A copy of the Policies may be obtained by contacting the Company’s Chief Financial Officer by mail at 92 Deerfield Road, Windsor, CT 06095 or by telephone at (860) 525-0821.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Discussion of compensation for the named executive officers relates to Stanadyne since the named executive officers of Holdings do not receive any compensation for serving as officers of Holdings.

The overall objectives of Stanadyne’s compensation program are to attract, retain and motivate talented individuals who have strategic vision and are responsible for achieving Stanadyne’s short-term and long-term objectives of expanding its markets, increasing sales, containing expenses, generating cash flow and net income, and creating shareholder value.

With Stanadyne’s base salary, stock options and other incentive and retirement programs, the compensation program is designed to recognize position and responsibility as well as reward accomplishment of the Company’s short and long-term objectives. The short term objectives (one year) include achieving operating cash flows as projected in the Company’s annual operating plan, improving the Company’s quality as perceived by its customers, and implementing a lean manufacturing philosophy. The longer term goals include increasing revenue base, increasing earnings as measured by EBITDA and achieving world-class performance in the areas of quality, delivery and customer satisfaction.

The elements of Stanadyne’s compensation program are as follows:

Base Salary – Base salary is designed to attract and retain employees over the period of their employment and is established commensurate with the responsibilities of the position and the executive’s qualifications, skills and experience. We periodically compare the base salaries of our executive officers to the marketplace to maintain a competitive position. These comparisons most often are determined by our knowledge of the base salary provided to similar positions in the other portfolio companies of our majority stockholder as well as through the use of professional recruiting agencies to assist in the identification and qualification of prospective candidates for employment.

Performance Based Incentive Compensation – We believe in a philosophy of pay-for-performance. Consequently, our performance based incentive compensation plans provide opportunities for our executives to earn up to a maximum of 125% of their base salary. As position and responsibility increase, a greater portion of the executive’s compensation is performance based. The performance based compensation is earned according to the terms of the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) which was subsequently renamed in 2007 as the Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) to include all U.S.-based hourly and salary employees, as well as select members of management in our foreign subsidiaries.

The EIP establishes annual goals for operating cash flow, defined as EBITDA, minus fixed capital expenditures, plus or minus changes in balance sheet operating asset and liability accounts. Each executive is assigned a Participation Factor expressed in terms of a percentage of the executive’s base salary. These Participation Factors are recommended annually by our Chief Executive Officer and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The performance bonus is determined for each executive by multiplying the annual base salary by the individual Participation Factor, multiplied by a Payout Factor. The Payout Factor is a percentage determined by dividing the actual annual operating cash flow result by the annual operating cash flow goal.

In keeping with our philosophy of rewarding performance, annual operating cash flows that are less than 90% of the annual cash flow goal result in a Payout Factor of zero, and no performance bonus amounts are earned. The Payout Factor is 75% for achieving at least 90% of the annual cash flow goal and increases by 2.5% for each 1% increase in the cash flow percentage of goal, up to 100%. The Payout Factor can increase by an additional 1.0% for each 1% increase in operating cash flow above the annual goal up to a maximum of 125%.

Table of Contents

Equity Incentive Compensation – The Compensation Committee believes that a critical element in motivating executives to increase shareholder value is to designate a portion of their compensation to this goal. In the third quarter of 2004, Holdings established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“Option Plan”) to provide for the award of non-qualified stock options to attract and retain persons who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Our Chief Executive Officer recommends individual option awards based on a determination of each employee’s role and responsibility for increasing shareholder value. These recommendations are presented to the Compensation Committee for review and approval. The exercise price of options granted under this Option Plan equals the fair value of the common stock of Holdings on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost is associated with the issuance of these options.

As of December 31, 2004, a total of 14,740,000 options to purchase Holdings common stock were granted under the Option Plan to certain members of management and 25,000 options were granted to one Director, Mr. Wier, of which 18,750 expired upon his retirement as a Director in July 2009. In 2006, Mr. Jones was awarded 3,500,000 stock options as part of his employment agreement. In 2008 and 2006, Mr. Vorih was awarded 150,000 and 250,000 stock options, respectively. Also in 2008, Mr. Hegwood was hired as the Company’s Vice President, Operations and was awarded 400,000 stock options. There were no stock options awarded to the Named Executive Officers in 2009.

To further encourage pay for performance, vesting of the option awards each year is dependent upon achieving targeted levels of earnings expressed as EBITDA and defined in the Option Plan. Subject to the terms of the Option Plan, 25% of the options granted in 2004 vested upon completion of the audit of the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004. Based on the financial results for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no additional options vested.

There were no stock options exercised by the Named Executive Officers during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

Retirement Benefits – Our executive officers are eligible to participate in retirement plans available to all of our eligible employees, including the tax-qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans, as well as a tax-qualified 401(k) plan.

Pension benefits are provided to the named executive officers under the terms of the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) and the Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”), both defined benefit plans. The Pension Plan provides benefits up to the maximum allowable annual compensation limits as defined by IRS regulations, and the SERP calculates benefits that are earned in excess of those earned under the Pension Plan. Both plans are described in more detail later in this section.

Welfare Benefits – Our executives participate in employee benefit plans generally available to our employees, including medical and health plans, as part of a comprehensive and competitive compensation program.

Additional Benefits and Perquisites – Company executives at a level of responsibility of Vice President and higher receive the following additional benefits and perquisites based on approval of our Chief Executive Officer. These additional perquisites provide a level of market competitive benefits and serve to secure and retain employment of the Company’s executive team.

 

   

Cash Allowance – Executives are provided an annual amount of $6,000 to allow them to engage assistance for financial planning, join community-based organizations to foster the Company image, or encourage a health-conscious lifestyle through wellness programs.

 

59


Table of Contents
   

Medical Reimbursement Plan – The executives are provided a maximum annual reimbursement of $5,000 of medical-related costs not covered by the Company’s underlying health benefit plans.

 

   

Automobile Allowance – Executives are provided a Company-leased vehicle for their personal use or paid $800 as a monthly allowance for transportation.

 

   

Life Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for variable annuity life insurance policies with a death benefit equal to two times average annual compensation for all of the Named Executive Officers except the Chief Executive Officer who receives a Company paid term life insurance policy with a death benefit of two times base salary.

 

   

Long Term Care Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for long-term care insurance policies that provide a maximum monthly benefit of $6,000 for health care if the executive is unable to care for him/herself.

 

   

Executive Disability Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for disability coverage designed to supplement the underlying coverage provided to all of the Company’s U.S.-based employees. The policy is owned by the individual executive and attempts to insure up to a maximum of 70% of annual compensation. Due to the insurer’s underwriting limits, the actual amount of compensation insured is often less than the 70% maximum.

 

   

Personal Umbrella Liability Insurance – The Company will reimburse the executives’ annual premium cost of a $2 million personal umbrella liability insurance policy.

The Stanadyne Compensation Committee is comprised of Samuel S. Frieder and Gordon H. Woodward, both full-time members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Frieder serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The role and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

 

   

Evaluating the job performance of the Chief Executive Officer in relationship to mutually established goals and objectives;

 

   

Reviewing and approving recommendations for periodic salary and benefit changes for Stanadyne’s leadership team, including the Named Executive Officers; and

 

   

Administering the Company’s Option Plan, including establishing vesting targets and approving option awards as recommended by our Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee meets as often as is necessary, usually in conjunction with the quarterly Board of Directors meetings.

The Compensation Committee has structured the elements of the executives’ overall compensation to reward performance through a balance of achievement of both the near and longer term objectives of the Company. Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain the most experienced and capable executives, the EIP compensation is designed to motivate success over a twelve month period and the Option Plan is designed to ensure the executives’ commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value.

In the first quarter of 2009, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jones, provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for reductions in base salaries for all of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 10% to 15%. These salary reductions were part of the Company-wide cost reduction actions taken in reaction to the negative pressure on earnings in 2009 due to the global economic recession. In the

 

60


Table of Contents

fourth quarter of 2009, Mr. Jones recommended further cost reductions through a reorganization of the executive team resulting in a reduction in the number of Vice Presidents from seven to six. In October, Mr. Jones recommended that the Company employ John Pinson as Vice President & Chief Technology Officer to fill the vacancy left by William W. Kelly who retired in March, 2009. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved all of these recommendations and, in response to the depressed levels of business, reduced Mr. Jones’ base salary by 15% effective March 1, 2009.

In 2008, Mr. Jones provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases for each of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 3% to 9% based on his evaluation of the performance of each and their existing base salary relative to the marketplace. In July 2008, Mr. Jones recommended the Company employ Paul W. Hegwood, Jr. as Vice President, Operations. Mr. Jones also recommended the promotion of Joseph M. Vorih to Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved these recommendations. At the same time, the Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Jones’ base salary and approved an increase of 7.0%, from $500,000 to $535,000 per year.

During 2007, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jones, provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases for each of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 2% to 5% based on his evaluation of the performance of each and their existing base salary relative to the marketplace. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved these recommendations. At the same time, the Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Jones’ base salary for the first time since his appointment in January 2006 and approved an increase of 11.1%, from $450,000 to $500,000 per year.

During the first quarter of 2007, Mr. Jones recommended to the Compensation Committee that changes to the Company’s defined benefit and 401(k) plans be made effective March 31 and April 1, 2007, respectively. These changes were recommended to make the Company’s overall retirement benefits more aligned with the marketplace by de-emphasizing the defined benefit plan and increasing the role of the 401(k) plan. As a result, the Compensation Committee recommended and the board of directors approved changes to both plans. The impact of these changes was to freeze benefits earned by all employees under the defined benefit plan effective March 31, 2007 and significantly increase the level of Company contributions under the 401(k) plan effective April 1, 2007. The effect of the pension plan changes on the Named Executive Officers benefits reduced the amount of pension benefit that would have otherwise been received at retirement if the plan had not been frozen. The increase to the 401(k) plan increased the maximum amount of Company benefit available to the Named Executive Officers from $300 per year to 3.5% of each executive’s annual base plus EIP compensation, up to the maximum allowable IRS limitation.

Stock options in the above table are subject to the terms and conditions of the Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“Option Plan”). The stock option awards vest in equal portions over the four calendar years following the grant date. Vesting is contingent upon achieving a targeted level of EBITDA as defined by the Option Plan in each calendar year. Options awarded in 2004 and options awarded to Mr. Jones have vested at 25% of the number granted, based on achievement of the Target EBITDA for the calendar year 2004. Target EBITDA was not achieved in calendar years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2009 and consequently no additional vesting has taken place.

No options were exercised by the named executive officers in 2009.

The Company provides retirement benefits to the named executive officers through a defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution 401(k) plan.

Pension benefits are provided to the named executive officers under the terms of the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) and the Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”), both defined benefit plans. The Pension Plan provides benefits up to the maximum allowable annual compensation limits as defined by IRS regulations. The SERP calculates benefits that are earned in excess of those earned under the Pension Plan. Amounts provided in the above table have been calculated using the same actuarial assumptions used for the pension liability valuation described in Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Report. Individual benefits are assumed to be payable at a normal retirement age of 65 and are determined using a discount rate of 6.00% for the qualified Pension Plan and 5.75% for the SERP Plan, as well as applying the RP-2000 Annuity Mortality table, sex distinct. The terms of the Pension Plan and the SERP provide for early retirement after 10 years of company service at a reduced benefit of 6% for every year before normal retirement age of 65. A more complete description of these pension plans follows.

 

65


Table of Contents

The Pension Plan provides benefits for all domestic non-collectively bargained, salaried employees of the Company and hourly employees of the Company employed at the Windsor, Washington and Jacksonville facilities. Salaried employees who participate in the Pension Plan are provided benefits calculated under one of two different formulas. Salaried participants are entitled to the greater of the two benefit amounts.

Under Formula One, benefits are based upon (i) a percentage of the monthly average compensation received by a participant during the five consecutive calendar years of employment that would produce the highest such average (the “Final Average Compensation”), (ii) the years of service of the participant with the Company and certain related or predecessor employers (“Years of Credited Service”), and (iii) a percentage of the primary age 65 Social Security benefit. Specifically, the accrued benefit payable under Formula One of the Pension Plan is equal to (w) + (x) - (y) - (z), where

(w) = 1.7% of Final Average Compensation times Years of Credited Service (not in excess of 30)

(x) = 1% of Final Average Compensation times Years of Credited Service in excess of 30

(y) = 1.667% of primary Social Security times Years of Credited Service (not in excess of 30)

(z) = Annuity for employees actively employed prior to July 2, 1988 (where applicable)

Formula Two under the Pension Plan provides salaried participants with an accrued monthly benefit equal to $21.00 times Years of Credited Service less an Annuity for employees actively employed prior to July 2, 1988 (where applicable).

For purposes of the Pension Plan, compensation used in the determination of Final Average Compensation includes total earnings received for personal services to the Company. The total compensation that can be considered for any purpose under the Pension Plan is limited to $245,000 for 2009, $230,000 for 2008 and $225,000 for 2007 pursuant to requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as amended by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (“EGTRRA”) for prior years as well as for future years. However, the pension plan was frozen March 31, 2007. Therefore, no earnings past that date are considered in calculating the final average compensation. The Code also places certain other limitations on the annual benefits that may be paid under the Pension Plan.

The Company also maintains two nonqualified plans entitled the “Stanadyne Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan” and the “Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan” (together, the “SERP”), which are designed to supplement the benefits payable under the Pension Plan for designated employees. The annual benefit payable under the SERP is equal to the difference between the benefit the designated employee would have received under the Pension Plan if certain Code limitations did not apply and the designated employee’s Pension Plan benefit.

Benefits may be paid under the Pension Plan and the SERP in the form of (i) a straight-life annuity for the life of the participant; (ii) a 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity whereby the participant receives a reduced monthly benefit for life and the surviving spouse receives 50%, 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly benefit for life; and (iii) for participants with an accrued benefit of $5,000 or less, a lump sum.

Note:

(1) Amounts shown represent the annual single-life benefit at age 65 from the Pension Plan (as defined herein) plus the benefit from the SERP (as defined herein).
(2) For this illustration, the annual social security benefit was assumed to be $16,476 for the calculation of the Social Security offset.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Pension Plan to freeze benefits with respect to all participants so that no future benefits will accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date will not be affected. With respect to such benefits, participants will continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors will continue unchanged. The assets will continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for the named executives who participate in the SERP is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the SERP.

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a savings plan which is intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All regular U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the Stanadyne Corporation Savings Plus Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

Effective April 1, 2007, Stanadyne amended the 401(k) Plan to: (i) substantially increase Stanadyne’s matching contribution to 100% of employee pre-tax contributions on the first 1% of compensation and 50% of employee pre-tax contributions on the next 5% of compensation so that if an employee contributes 6% of compensation, the Stanadyne match would total 3.5% of that employee’s compensation; and (ii) provide for automatic enrollment at 3% of compensation for all new employees and all current employees who are not then contributing 3% or more of compensation. The Company suspended company matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in May, 2009 due to depressed economic conditions brought about by the global recession.

Mr. Wiggins serves as the Chairman of the Board and receives an annual fee of $250,000, which was reduced to $218,950 in 2009 as part of the Company-wide cost reduction measures taken in response to the global recession. He also received incentive compensation of $218,750 in 2009 under the Company’s EIP bonus plan. Mr. Wier, prior to his retirement in July, 2009, was paid a fee of $12,500 for his service on the boards of directors of Holdings and Stanadyne. No other directors of Holdings or Stanadyne receive compensation for their service, but the Company does reimburse all directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending board and committee meetings.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

M. David Jones

Pursuant to an employment agreement with Stanadyne dated January 10, 2006, Mr. Jones served as President and Chief Executive Officer during 2009 at a base salary of $535,000 (which was reduced to $468,125 in 2009 as part of the Company-wide cost reduction actions taken in response to the global recession) and other benefits including an annual performance bonus opportunity of 100% of base salary. His base salary is subject to increase in an amount and frequency as determined by the Board.

Mr. Jones’ employment agreement is effective until his termination of employment due to death, disability, for cause, as defined in the agreement, or without cause upon written notice from the Executive Committee of the Board. Mr. Jones may terminate the agreement for “Good Reason,” which includes, among other circumstances, when the executive is assigned duties inconsistent with, or is subject to any other action by Stanadyne that results in a diminution of, his position, authority, duties or responsibilities. If employment is terminated without cause or for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Mr. Jones for a period of eighteen months following the date of termination, his base salary at the rate in effect at the date of termination and the cost of participation in the Company’s group health benefit plans. Based on Mr. Jones’ salary and benefits for 2009, these amounts would equal $682,125 and $11,581, respectively.

On March 31, 2006, Stanadyne entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Jones, amending the employment agreement with him that was entered into on January 10, 2006. The amendment to the employment agreement provided for options to purchase 3.5 million shares of common stock of Holdings at $0.47 per share rather than $0.67 per share that was originally reported. These options continue to be subject to all of the terms of Holdings’ 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the amendment to the employment agreement further provided Mr. Jones the opportunity to purchase a maximum of $2.0 million of Holdings’ common stock at a price of $0.47 per share rather than $0.67 per share that was originally reported, by no later than March 31, 2006. Mr. Jones purchased 800,000 shares pursuant thereto.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Management Services Agreement

In accordance with a management services agreement, the Company is required to pay Kohlberg an annual fee of $750,000 for providing certain ongoing management and advisory services, payable quarterly in advance on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term of the management services agreement. Kohlberg is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. The management fees are subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

The Company does not have any formal policies or procedures with respect to reviewing or approving related party transactions. However, it would expect its board of directors to consider any such transactions consistent with its fiduciary duties.

Director Independence

As the President of Holdings and Chief Executive Officer of Stanadyne, director M. David Jones is not considered “independent” based on the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market if the securities of each of Holdings and Stanadyne were so listed (which they are not). While each of the other directors is a member of the management of the controlling stockholder of the Company, the boards of directors of Holdings and Stanadyne have concluded that each director is “independent” based on such listing standards since the management fee received by such stockholder is less than 5% of the gross revenues of the Company, and the boards of directors have concluded that such relationship, in their opinion, does not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Table of Contents

However, the directors serving on the audit committee, namely Gordon Woodward and Seth Hollander, may not be considered independent based on the more stringent independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market applicable to directors serving on audit committees since each of the audit committee members is a member of the management of the controlling stockholder of the Company.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Process, Policies and Procedures

The audit committees for Holdings and Stanadyne consist of the same directors and serve the same function in both companies. The Audit Committees have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditor. The Company’s management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for approving the Company’s financial statements.

The Audit Committees must pre-approve the annual engagement and all audit and non-audit services rendered to Holdings and Stanadyne by the independent accountants other than described in the annual engagement letters. Such pre-approval is waived if services may be rendered within the de minimis exception contained in Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
