Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

October 2, 2010

NOTE A – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items and the debt modification described in NOTE C) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2010, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2011.

Segment Reporting: The Company operates in one segment that markets, designs and manufactures industrial electric motors, drives, generators, and other mechanical power transmission products, within the power transmission equipment industry.

Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31, which results in a 52-week or 53-week year. Fiscal year 2010, ending on January 1, 2011, will contain 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2009 contained 52 weeks.

Accounts Receivable: Trade receivables are recorded in the balance sheets at the outstanding balance, adjusted for charge-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded based on customer-specific analysis, general matters such as current assessments of past due balances and historical experience. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across geographic areas and industries. The Company generally does not require that its customers provide collateral. No single customer represented greater than 10% of net accounts receivable at October 2, 2010 or January 2, 2010.

Inventories: The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories held in the United States. The LIFO calculation is made only at year-end based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO adjustments are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs which are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventories valuation. Inventories held at foreign locations are valued using the lower of cost measured using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) or market.

Self-Insurance Liabilities: The Company’s self-insurance programs primarily cover exposure to general and product liability, workers’ compensation and health insurance. The Company self-insures from the first dollar of loss up to specified retention levels. Eligible losses in excess of self-insurance retention levels and up to stated limits of liability are covered by policies purchased from third-party insurers. The aggregate self-insurance liability is estimated using the Company’s claims experience and risk exposure levels. Future adjustments to the self-insured liabilities may be required to reflect emerging claims experience and other factors.

Business Combinations: The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets

Accordingly, for significant items, the Company typically obtains assistance from third party valuation specialists. The valuations are based on information available near the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management.

There are multiple methods that can be used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For intangible assets, the Company typically uses relief from royalty, income and market approach methodologies. These methodologies start with a forecast of the expected future net cash flows. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the income method or other methods include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles: At October 2, 2010, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles amounted to $1.0 billion and $ 354.8 million, respectively. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. However, the Company could be required to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets prior to the required annual assessment if the Company experiences disruptions to the business, unexpected significant declines in operating results, divestiture of a significant component of the business or a sustained decline in market capitalization.

Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step is to identify if a potential impairment exists by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to have a potential impairment and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss to recognize, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired. However, if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination (i.e., the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all the assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit).

Fair value of a reporting unit is determined using a combination of the Income Approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow model, and the Market Approach, which utilizes a guideline public company methodology. Judgments and assumptions related to revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, interest, capital expenditures, cash flows, and market conditions are inherent in developing the discounted cash flow model. In applying the guideline public company method, the Company utilized valuation multiples derived from stock prices and enterprise values of publicly traded companies comparable to Baldor.

For the other intangible assets, if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized by an amount equal to that excess. A relief from royalty methodology is utilized to estimate the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company’s fiscal 2009 annual impairment analyses of goodwill and other intangible assets did not result in an impairment charge. However, based on sensitivity analysis performed in conjunction with the 2009 annual test, a 5% decline in the estimated fair value of one of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying value of $225.9 million would have resulted in the estimated fair value falling below the carrying value by approximately $4.7 million. Accordingly, management continues to monitor business conditions and projected revenues related to its indefinite-lived intangibles and will perform additional interim testing if deemed necessary. Based upon third quarter and year to date 2010 revenues, results of operations, and management’s current outlook for the remainder of 2010, management concluded that there were no indications that the assumptions utilized in the 2009 annual impairment testing would not be achieved. As a result, no interim test for impairment of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangibles was performed.

Financial Derivatives: The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to the risk of increasing commodity prices. Contract terms of the hedging instrument closely mirror those of the hedged forecasted transaction providing for the hedge relationship to be highly effective both at inception and continuously throughout the term of the hedging relationship. Additionally, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to limit exposure to increasing interest rates on variable rate borrowings. The Company does not engage in speculative transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in income. If a hedging instrument is terminated, any unrealized gain (loss) at the date of termination is carried in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in income in the period of change.

Derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement and collateral accounts (i.e. margin deposits) are netted with the corresponding derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Pension and Postretirement Health Plan: The Company uses the fiscal year end as a measurement date for its pension and postretirement health plans.

Income Taxes: The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, and October 3, 2009, relates to state income taxes, permanent differences, changes in management’s assessment of the outcome of certain tax matters, and the composition of pre-tax income between domestic and international operations. The significant permanent tax differences primarily consist of the deduction for domestic production activities and nondeductible expenses.

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on forecasted annual income and permanent items, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities. The impact of discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was 33.8% and 37.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 was 35.0% and 38.0%, respectively. The change between the effective tax rates during the three and nine months ending October 2, 2010, and October 3, 2009, primarily relate to additional valuation allowances for net operating loss carryforwards generated by foreign affiliates recorded in 2009 and the statutory increase in the domestic production deduction from 6% to 9% on qualifying income in the current year.

The Company provides for uncertain tax benefits, and related interest and penalties, by adjusting its unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest and penalties accordingly. The Company had $1.6 million and $1.1 million in gross unrecognized tax benefits as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010 that would impact the effective tax rate, if these tax benefits were recognized, is $1.3 million and $862,000, respectively. The Company does not believe the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve month period.

The Company classifies interest and penalties on uncertain tax benefits as interest expense and selling and administrative expenses, respectively. At October 2, 2010, before any tax benefits, the Company had $556,000 of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

Product Warranties: The Company accrues for product warranty claims based on historical experience and the expected costs to provide warranty service. The warranty period generally ranges from one to two years. Changes in the carrying amount of product warranty reserves are as follows:

Share-Based Compensation: The Company has share-based compensation plans, which are described more fully herein under NOTE F – Stock Plans.

Fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The variables used in the option pricing formula for each grant are determined at the time of grant as follows: (1) volatility is based on the daily composite closing price of Baldor’s stock over a look-back period of time that approximates the expected option life; (2) risk-free interest rates are based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips as published in the Wall Street Journal or provided by a third-party on the date of the grant for the expected option life; (3) dividend yields are based on Baldor’s dividend yield published in the Wall Street Journal or provided by a third-party on the date of the grant; and (4) expected option life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. Assumptions used in the fair-value valuation are adjusted to reflect current developments at the date of grant.

The simplified method for estimating the expected life for employee stock options uses the mid-point between the vesting term and the contractual term of the stock option. The Company used the simplified method through second quarter 2009 and began using historical data for grants issued beginning third quarter 2009. Prior to the third quarter 2009, the Company did not have a method to capture historical exercise data from which to estimate the expected term.

The Company has granted restricted stock units under its share-based compensation plans. The Company amortizes the fair value of restricted stock unit awards, which is based on the closing market price on the date of grant, to compensation expense generally on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, taking into consideration an estimate of shares expected to vest.

NOTE B – Financial Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to the risk of increasing commodity prices by maintaining sufficient commodity hedge contracts to ensure the Company pays a certain price or remains within a limited price range even when market prices fluctuate outside that range. Contract terms of the hedging instrument closely mirror those of the hedged forecasted transaction providing for the hedge relationship to be highly effective both at inception and continuously throughout the term of the hedging relationship. Additionally, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to limit exposure to increasing interest rates on variable rate borrowings. The Company does not regularly engage in speculative transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company designates the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged (i.e., fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation).

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has entered into certain commodity forward contracts to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of the effectiveness are recognized in earnings in the current period. Ineffective portions of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedges were not material during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009.

As of October 2, 2010, the Company had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts:

 

Commodity

   Volume in Pounds  

Copper

     8,430,300   

Gains recognized on commodity cash flow hedges reduced cost of sales by $1.7 million and $547,000 in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Gains recognized on commodity cash flow hedges reduced cost of sales by $14.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 and losses recognized increased cost of sales by $19.2 million in the first nine months of 2009. The Company expects after-tax gains totaling $4.4 million at October 2, 2010, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to commodity cash flow hedges, will be recognized in cost of sales within the next nine months.

The Company has interest rate instruments related to variable rate long-term obligations. The notional amount is $350.0 million and the instruments mature on April 30, 2012. On March 31, 2009, the Company amended its senior secured credit agreement. In conjunction with the amendment, a LIBOR floor was added to the variable rate borrowings. As a result, the Company determined that its existing interest rate hedges were no longer expected to be highly effective. Accordingly, effective March 31, 2009, the interest rate hedge instruments were discontinued as cash flow hedges. Accumulated after-tax losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to the discontinuance remain in accumulated other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur or become probable of not

occurring. Amortization related to the discontinuance of the interest rate hedge was $3.0 million during the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 and is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Amortization related to the discontinuance of the interest rate hedge was $9.0 million and $6.0 million during the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Unrealized after-tax losses of $6.4 million are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at October 2, 2010. The Company expects after-tax losses of approximately $5.0 million to be recognized in interest expense during the next twelve months.

The following table sets forth the pretax impact of cash flow hedge derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

Amendment of Senior Secured Term and Revolving Credit Facility

Effective March 31, 2009, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility. The amendment relaxed certain financial ratio covenants through the remaining term of the agreement. In conjunction with the amendment, pricing on the outstanding term loan borrowings and future revolver borrowings was increased from 1.75% to 3.25% and a LIBOR floor of 2.00% was added to the variable rate borrowings.

The modification of the senior secured term loan was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. As a result, the senior secured term loan was recorded at fair value as of the modification date which resulted in a noncash debt discount of $49.7 million being recorded in long-term obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and a $35.7 million gain on debt modification in income from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The discount is being amortized to other expense over the remaining term of the debt. Fees paid related to the amendment of $5.7 million along with unamortized fees related to the original agreement of $8.3 million were deducted when calculating the gain. The unamortized balance of the discount is $34.8 million at October 2, 2010. Amortization amounted to $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2010 and $7.5 million during the first nine months of 2010.

The amendment did not change the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility; therefore, fees of $1.6 million related to the amendment were deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the facility agreement and unamortized fees of $1.1 million related to the original agreement continue to be amortized over the remaining term.

Senior Secured Term and Revolving Credit Facility

Interest on the term loan is due periodically and calculated based on 3.25% plus a variable adjusted London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with a minimum LIBOR rate of 2.00%. Quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million are due beginning October 29, 2010, and continue through January 31, 2013, at which date subsequent quarterly principal payments increase to $145.9 million through the loan due date of January 31, 2014.

Additional principal payments may be due based upon a prescribed annual excess cash flow calculation until such time as a prescribed total leverage ratio is achieved. There were no additional payments due based on the Company’s calculations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. Additional principal payments may also be due based upon the net available proceeds from the disposition of assets, a casualty event, an equity issuance or incurrence of additional debt.

This loan agreement limits and restricts certain dividend and capital expenditure payments, establishes maximum total leverage and senior secured leverage ratios, and requires the Company maintain a fixed charge ratio. These restrictions and ratios were all met as of October 2, 2010.

The revolving credit (“RC”) agreement, which matures April 30, 2012, provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200.0 million, including a swingline loan commitment not to exceed $20.0 million and letter of credit (“LC”) commitment not to exceed $30.0 million, and contains minimum borrowing thresholds for each type of borrowing. As of October 2, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver. An RC commitment fee is due quarterly at the annual rate of 0.625% on the unused amount of the RC commitment. At October 2, 2010, $8.9 million of LC’s were issued which reduces the aggregate LC and RC availability. Availability totaled $191.1 million at October 2, 2010. LC participation fees of 3.25% and fronting fees of 0.125% per annum on unissued LC’s are due quarterly based upon the aggregate amount of LC’s issued and available for issuance, respectively. Interest on RC borrowings accrues at 3.25% plus LIBOR (0.26% at October 2, 2010) with a minimum rate of 2.0% or 1.25% per annum plus Prime (3.25% at October 2, 2010).

The senior secured credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The senior unsecured notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated to the senior secured credit facility described above, and mature February 15, 2017. Interest is at a fixed rate and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 commencing August 15, 2007.

At any time prior to February 15, 2012, the Company may redeem all or a part of the notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the applicable premium as defined in the agreement as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On or after February 15, 2012, the Company may redeem all or a part of the notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

The indenture agreement contains certain restrictions and requirements including restrictions and requirements regarding mergers, consolidation or sale of assets, certain payments, the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, and issuance of preferred stock, and note holder options if a change of control occurs. These notes are also subject to the term and revolving credit loans maximum total leverage and fixed charges ratios.

NOTE D – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management expects the ultimate resolution of these actions will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Reliance Electric, Reliance’s parent company, Rockwell Automation, determined actions by a small number of employees at certain of Reliance’s operations in one jurisdiction may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) or other applicable laws. Reliance did business in this jurisdiction with government owned enterprises or government owned enterprises evolving to commercial businesses. These actions involved payments for non-business travel expenses and certain other business arrangements involving potentially improper payment mechanisms for legitimate business expenses. Rockwell voluntarily disclosed these actions to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) beginning in September 2006. Rockwell has agreed to update the DOJ and SEC periodically regarding any further developments as the investigation continues. If violations of the FCPA occurred, Rockwell and Reliance may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, other costs and business-related impacts. Rockwell has informed the Company that Rockwell has received a letter from DOJ stating that DOJ will not take any action related to this matter. Rockwell and Reliance could also face similar consequences from local authorities. The Company has been indemnified by Rockwell against government penalties arising from these potential violations. This indemnification covers only penalties and may not cover expenses incurred by the Company for future compliance. The Company conducts compliance training on a regular schedule.

NOTE E – Profit –Sharing Plan, Pension Plan and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company has a profit-sharing plan covering most domestic employees with more than two years of service. The Company’s contribution is derived by a formula that resulted in contributions of approximately 12% of pre-tax earnings of participating companies.

The Company has defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans covering certain union employees and retirees. Estimated liabilities amounting to approximately $34.6 million at October 2, 2010 and $48.4 million at January 2, 2010 are included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2010, certain active union employees were terminated from the plans as a result of the consolidation of a manufacturing facility. Accordingly, a curtailment gain of approximately $2.5 million was recorded as a reduction of the estimated liabilities. The reduction in liability was offset by a reduction in actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs include the following components for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009:

The Company expects to contribute $550,000 to the pension plans and $8.4 million to the postretirement benefit plan in 2010.

NOTE F – Stock Plans

The purpose of granting stock options and non-vested stock units is to encourage ownership in the Company. This provides an incentive for the participants to contribute to the success of the Company and aligns the interests of the participants with the interests of the shareholders of the Company. Historically, the Company has used newly-issued shares to fulfill stock option

exercises. Once options are granted, the Company does not re-price any outstanding options. The Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) is the only Plan under which awards can be granted. When the 2006 Plan was adopted, the Company’s other stock plans were effectively cancelled except with respect to then outstanding grants and no further awards have since been or will be granted from those plans. In May 2009, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan increasing the shares authorized by 1,500,000.

A summary of the Company’s stock plans and summary details about each Plan as of October 2, 2010, follows.

2006      4,500,000       Active      10 years   

1990 Plan: Only non-qualified options were granted from this Plan. Options vest and become 50% exercisable at the end of one year and 100% exercisable at the end of two years. All outstanding stock options granted under this Plan are currently exercisable.

1994 Plans: Incentive stock options vest and become fully exercisable with continued employment of six months for officers and three years for non-officers. Restrictions on non-qualified stock options lapsed after a period of five years or earlier under certain circumstances. All outstanding stock options granted under these plans are currently exercisable.

1996 and 2001 Plans: Each non-employee director was granted an annual grant consisting of non-qualified stock options to purchase: (1) 3,240 shares at a price equal to the market value at date of grant, and (2) 2,160 shares at a price equal to 50% of the market value at date of grant. These options immediately vested and became exercisable on the date of grant.

2006 Plan: Awards granted under the 2006 Plan have included: incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and non-vested stock units. Non-vested stock units were awarded with no exercise price. Other awards permitted under this Plan include stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and performance awards; however, no such awards have been granted. Option re-pricing is not permitted.

NOTE H – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is generally determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities as determined by market participants.

Assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

NOTE I – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements, specifically adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the guidance during first quarter 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Baldor is a leading marketer, designer, and manufacturer of industrial electric motors, mechanical power transmission products, drives and generators, currently supplying over 10,000 customers in more than 200 industries. Our products are sold to a diverse customer base consisting of original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”) and distributors, serving markets in the United States and throughout the world. OEM’s primarily use our products in new installations which expands our installed base and leads to future replacement product sales. Overall, our domestic sales are generated equally between OEM’s and distributors. Approximately 60% of our industrial motor products and approximately 20% of our mechanical power transmission products are sold directly to OEM’s with the remainder being sold to distributors.

Generally, our financial performance is driven by industrial spending and the strength of the economies in which we sell our products, and is also influenced by:

 

   

Investments in manufacturing capacity, including upgrades, modifications, and expansions of existing manufacturing facilities, and the creation of new manufacturing facilities;

 

   

Capacity utilization;

 

   

Our customers’ needs for greater variety, timely delivery, and higher quality at a competitive cost; and

 

   

Our large installed base, which creates significant replacement demand.

Demand for our products is closely tied to growth trends in the economy and levels of industrial activity and capital investment. Specific drivers of demand for our products include process automation, efforts in energy conservation and productivity improvement, regulatory and safety requirements, new technologies and replacement of worn parts. Our products are typically

critical parts of customers’ end-applications, and the end user’s cost associated with their failure is high. Consequently, we believe that end users of our products base their purchasing decisions on quality, reliability, efficiency and availability, as well as customer service. We believe key success factors in our industry include strong reputation and brand preference, good customer service and technical support, product availability and a strong distribution network.

Business conditions continued to improve throughout the third quarter of 2010. For the quarter ended October 2, 2010, our sales, operating profit, and net income increased 19.3%, 27.5%, and 103.8%, respectively, compared to third quarter 2009. As business has improved, we have maintained the cost reductions achieved during 2009, helping us achieve a record operating margin of 14.8% for the third quarter of 2010.

During third quarter 2010, sales to our domestic distributor and OEM customers increased 19.9% and 24.3%, respectively, compared to third quarter 2009. Distributors aggressively reduced inventories during 2009 and we believe they have not yet begun restocking their inventories. Consequently, we believe the increases in incoming order rates we have experienced so far this year are the result of improved end-market demand.

Sales of our Super-E premium-efficient motor products continued to grow during the quarter. While these motors sell at a 20% to 30% price premium over standard-efficiency motors, partly because they cost more to produce, they consume less energy and our customers realize a decrease in their total cost of ownership. Once the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 takes effect in 2011, we expect premium efficient motors to ultimately comprise approximately 50% of our total motor sales.

Results of Operations

Third quarter 2010 compared to third quarter 2009

Net income increased 103.8% to $25.7 million for third quarter 2010 compared to $12.6 million in third quarter 2009. Third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.54 compared to $0.27 in third quarter 2009, an increase of 100.0%.

Net sales for the quarter increased 19.3% to $453.7 million compared to $380.4 million in third quarter 2009. Sales of industrial electric motor products increased 17.6% from 2009 and comprised 62.5% of total sales for the third quarter compared to 63.3% for the same period last year. Included in industrial electric motors, sales of Super-E premium-efficient motors grew 31.5% for the quarter and increased to 18.6% of total motor sales in third quarter 2010 compared to 16.7% for the same period last year. Sales of mounted bearings, gearing, and other mechanical power transmission products increased 25.6% from 2009 and comprised 30.6% of total sales in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 29.1% in 2009. Our mechanical power transmission product sales are heavily weighted toward distributor customers. Inventory destocking throughout 2009 resulted in our distributor customers’ inventories declining to historically low levels by the end of 2009. While end-market demand has improved during 2010, we believe distributors continue to have low levels of inventories. Sales of other products increased 8.8% from third quarter 2009 and comprised 6.9% of total sales in third quarter 2010 compared to 7.6% in 2009.

Increased sales combined with product design improvements, cost reductions, and integration initiatives resulted in continued improvement in margins during the quarter. Gross margin increased to 31.0% in third quarter 2010 compared to 30.2% in third quarter 2009. Operating margin improved to 14.8% for third quarter 2010 compared to 13.8% in third quarter 2009. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 16.2%, compared to 17.4% in 2009.

Interest expense of $25.9 million decreased $3.9 million from third quarter 2009. We continue to focus on aggressive debt reduction from operating profits and effective working capital management.

Pre-tax income of $38.7 million for third quarter 2010 increased 91.1% compared to third quarter 2009 pretax income of $20.3 million. Our effective income tax rate was 33.8% in third quarter 2010 compared to 37.9% in third quarter of 2009. The change between the effective income tax rates is primarily relate to additional valuation allowances for net operating loss carryforwards generated by foreign affiliates recorded in 2009 and the statutory increase in the domestic production deduction from 6% to 9% on qualifying income in the current year.

Nine months ended October 2, 2010 compared to nine months ended October 3, 2009

Net income was $63.5 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $56.8 million for the first nine months of 2009. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 included $21.6 million related to the March 31, 2009 noncash gain on debt modification. Diluted EPS was $1.34 for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.22 for the first nine months of 2009. Diluted EPS for the first nine months of 2009 included $0.47 related to the March 31, 2009 noncash gain on debt modification.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2010 increased 10.5% to $1,290.7 million compared to $1,167.7 million for the first nine months of 2009. Sales of industrial electric motor products increased 6.6% for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009 and comprised 62.8% of total sales for the year compared to 65.1% for the same period last year. Within industrial electric motors, sales of Super-E premium-efficient motors grew 21.8% for the first nine months and comprised 17.6% of total motor sales compared to 15.4% for the same period last year. Sales of mounted bearings, gearing, and other mechanical power transmission products increased 18.0% for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months in 2009 and comprised 30.6% of total sales compared to 28.7% for the same period last year. Sales of other products increased 17.4% for the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period last year.

Gross margin was 30.8% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 29.1% for the first nine months of 2009 and operating margin increased to 14.2% from 12.1% for the same period last year. As sales have grown through the first nine months of the year, our continued focus on cost control has helped provide solid margin growth.

Interest expense of $79.7 million for the first nine months of 2010 decreased $1.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2009. While we have benefited from reducing our outstanding debt balance, interest rates on our variable rate debt increased beginning in second quarter 2009 as a result of the March 31, 2009 amendment of our senior secured credit facility. Consequently, cash interest expense on the credit facility was $1.0 million higher in the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period last year.

Pre-tax income was $97.7 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $91.6 million for the first nine months of 2009. Pre-tax income for first nine months of 2009 included a $35.7 million noncash gain related to the March 31, 2009 amendment of our senior secured credit facility. Our effective income tax rate was 35.0% in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 38.0% in first nine months of 2009. The change between the effective income tax rates is primarily relate to additional valuation allowances for net operating loss carryforwards generated by foreign affiliates recorded in 2009 and the statutory increase in the domestic production deduction from 6% to 9% on qualifying income in the current year.

Current Outlook

We continue to maintain a majority of the cost reductions achieved during 2009 and look for additional efficiencies that will allow us to realize further cost reductions. We believe the long-term focus of our decisions during the recession are allowing us to take advantage of opportunities as the economy recovers. Incoming orders continued to grow at a double-digit rate during third quarter 2010 when compared 2009. As demand for our products has increased steadily during the first nine months of 2010, our inventory levels have remained adequate to serve our customers and we have realized solid revenue and margin growth. Currently, we expect fourth quarter 2010 net sales to increase 20% to 25% over fourth quarter 2009. (See “Forward-looking statements” concerning important factors that could impact actual results.)

Environmental Remediation

We believe, based on our internal reviews and other factors, that any future costs relating to environmental remediation and compliance will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, cash flows, or competitive position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and funds available under our senior secured revolving credit facility (revolver). We expect that short-term and long-term funding requirements will continue to be met by these sources. At October 2, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver and $8.9 million of LC’s were issued. Consequently, we have approximately $191.1 million of borrowing capacity under the revolver which matures in 2012.

Cash flows from operations amounted to $82.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $151.7 million in the first nine months of 2009. As sales increased during the first nine months of 2010, corresponding increases in accounts receivable used $53.1 million of working capital. This was partially offset by corresponding increases in accounts payable that contributed $39.1 million. During the first nine months of this year, our inventories increased, using $15.4 million of working capital. In contrast, as business levels were declining during the first nine months of 2009, reductions in inventories and accounts receivables contributed $26.8 million and $56.4 million, respectively, to working capital and decreases in accounts payable used $21.2 million. In addition, during the first quarter of 2009 we recovered $19.1 million of margin deposits on our commodity hedges that were funded during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities was $18.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 and $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2009 and primarily related to capital expenditures made to improve efficiency in our manufacturing facilities.

Net cash used in financing activities of $62.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 included dividends paid to shareholders of $23.9 million, net debt principal repayments of $55.3 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $13.7 million. Financing activities in the first nine months of 2009 included dividends paid to shareholders of $31.6 million, credit agreement amendment fees of $7.3 million, and net debt payments of $87.9 million. Due to the timing of our year end, we funded the fourth quarter 2008 dividend of $7.9 million in addition to the first quarter 2009 dividend during first quarter 2009, whereas the first quarter 2010 dividend was funded in second quarter 2010.

We have a corporate family credit rating of BB- and senior secured debt rating of Ba3 with a stable outlook by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”). We have a long-term issuer credit rating of B1 and senior secured debt rating of BB+ with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service (“S&P”). We have senior unsecured debt ratings of B3 by Moody’s and B by S&P. We have a Moody’s liquidity rating of SGL-2. Our senior secured credit facility has a

Table of Contents

downward rating trigger that increases the margin paid on variable rate borrowings from 3.25% to 3.50% for any period during which our Moody’s corporate family rating is below BB- or our S&P long-term issuer rating is below B1. We have no downward rating triggers that would accelerate the maturity of amounts drawn under our senior secured credit facility. Also, we have no downward rating triggers under our senior unsecured notes.

Our senior secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes contain various customary covenants, which limit, among other things, indebtedness and dispositions of assets and which require us to maintain compliance with certain quarterly financial ratios. The primary financial ratios in our credit agreement are total leverage (total debt/EBITDA, as defined) and senior secured leverage (senior secured debt/EBITDA, as defined). We have maintained compliance with all covenants and were in compliance at October 2, 2010. We expect to remain in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of 2010.

Dividends paid to shareholders amounted to $0.51 per common share in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009. Our objective is for shareholders to receive dividends while also participating in Baldor’s growth. The terms of our credit agreement and the indenture limit our ability to increase dividends in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in commodity prices, interest rates, concentrations of credit, and foreign exchange rates. To help maintain stable pricing for customers, the Company enters into various commodity hedging transactions. To manage interest rate risk on variable rate outstanding debt, the Company enters into various interest rate hedging transactions.

The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, including copper and aluminum, and periodically utilizes commodity futures and options for hedging purposes to reduce the effects of changing commodity prices. Generally, contract terms of a hedge instrument closely mirror those of the hedged item providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation. The Company had derivative contracts designated as commodity cash flow hedges with a fair value asset of $7.3 million recorded in other current assets at October 2, 2010.

The Company’s interest rate risk is primarily related to its senior secured credit facility which bears interest at variable rates. Additionally, the Company’s long-term obligations include senior unsecured notes totalling $550.0 million which bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.625%. The Company utilizes various interest rate instruments to manage its future exposure to interest rate risk on a portion of the variable rate obligations. Effective March 31, 2009, the Company amended its senior secured credit agreement. In conjunction with the amendment, a LIBOR floor was added to the variable rate borrowings. As a result, the Company determined that its existing interest rate instruments were no longer expected to be highly effective and were discontinued as cash flow hedges.

LIBOR is determined each reset date based on London and New York business days. Floating rates used in instruments are matched exactly to floating rate in credit agreement.

(2)

Fair value is an estimated amount the Company would have received (paid) to terminate the agreement.

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents are in high-quality securities placed with major banks and financial institutions. Accounts receivables are comprised of a large number of customers across broad industries and geographic areas.

Foreign affiliates comprise approximately 9.4% of our consolidated net sales. As a result, our exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant. We continue to monitor the effects of foreign currency exchange rates and will utilize foreign currency hedges where appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Management is also responsible for maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of October 2, 2010. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 2, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that occurred during the first nine months of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.

(1) Consists only of shares received from trades for payment of the exercise price or tax liability on stock option exercises.

During third quarter 2010, certain District Managers exercised non-qualified stock options previously granted to them under the Baldor Electric Company 1990 Stock Option Plan for District Managers (the “DM Plan”). When exercised, the exercise price paid by the District Managers equals the market value of the stock on the date of the grant. The Company intends to use the proceeds from these option exercises for general corporate purposes. The total amount of shares that have been granted under the DM Plan is 1.0% of the outstanding shares of Baldor common stock. None of the transactions were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act. The Company deems this exemption to be appropriate given that there are a limited number of participants in the DM Plan and all parties are knowledgeable about the Company. In 2006, this DM Plan was effectively cancelled except with respect to then outstanding grants and no further awards have since been or will be granted from this Plan.
