ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Intermediate Holdings Corp. (“SIHC”). The name of SIHC was changed on July 29, 2009 from Stanadyne Automotive Holding Corp. (“SAHC”). 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. Holdings is a holding company with no 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 and gasoline engines.

OVERVIEW

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 $245.8 million, $250.6 million and $185.8 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating income for Stanadyne was $10.7 million, $20.9 million and $2.6 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total assets of Stanadyne were $366.6 million, $381.0 million and $377.5 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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), fuel injectors and fuel 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 for its products. 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”), Cummins, Inc. (“Cummins”) and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) accounted for $119.2 million, or 48.5% of Stanadyne’s 2011 net sales. In 2010, Deere, Cummins and Daimler, AG (“Daimler”) accounted for $123.4 million, or 49.2% of Stanadyne’s 2010 net sales. In 2009, Deere, General Engine Products (“GEP”) and Daimler accounted for $80.9 million, or 43.5% of Stanadyne’s 2009 net sales. Deere was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of Stanadyne’s net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009, at 38.3%, 35.4% and 27.5%, respectively. Effective November 1, 2006, Stanadyne and Deere entered into a five-year commercial agreement which expired on October 31, 2011. Stanadyne and Deere have agreed that a long-term agreement would not allow enough flexibility to address the changing nature of the global markets demand for diesel fuel injection equipment. Consequently, both parties agreed not to renew a long-term agreement at this time and to continue the long-standing commercial relationship on terms similar to those in the prior 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 44.8%, 46.0% and 52.2% of Stanadyne’s sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Joint Venture. The Company has a joint venture with Amalgamations Private Limited in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The joint venture, named Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”), started manufacturing diesel fuel injection equipment for export markets in the second quarter of 2003. Through additional investment in 2010, Stanadyne’s controlling share increased from 51.0% to 64.9%.

Table of Contents

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 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 12 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, 2011, the Company employed approximately 2,010 people of whom approximately 28% were salaried and 72% 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 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $18.1 million, $15.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively, of which $4.1 million, $1.9 million and $0.5 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 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company spent $5.2 million, $14.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.

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 of the Company 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 commitment to indemnify the Company has not changed as a result of the Transactions.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,”

Table of Contents

“project,” or “continue” or other similar words. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by the management of the Company which, although believed to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon such estimates and statements. No assurance can be given that any such estimates will be realized, and it is likely that actual results will differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include:

 

   

the impact of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting on our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately or on a timely basis, including with respect to our delay in providing timely reports under our indentures;

 

   

worldwide political and macro-economic uncertainties and fears;

 

   

changes in technology, manufacturing techniques or customer demands;

 

   

loss or adverse change in our relationship with our material customers;

 

   

changes in the performance or growth of our customers;

 

   

increased competition and pricing pressures in our existing and future markets;

 

   

changes in the price and availability of raw materials, particularly steel and aluminum;

 

   

risks associated with international operations;

 

   

the loss of key members of management;

 

   

risk that our intellectual property may be misappropriated;

 

   

loss of any of our key manufacturing facilities;

 

   

adverse state or federal legislative or regulatory developments or litigation or other disputes;

 

   

changes in the business, market trends, projected growth rates and general economic conditions related to the markets in which we operate, including agricultural and construction equipment, industrial machinery, trucks, marine equipment and automobiles;

 

   

our ability to satisfy our debt obligations, including related covenants;

 

   

increases in our cost of borrowing or inability or unavailability of additional debt or equity capital;

 

   

reorganization of the Company’s worldwide manufacturing facilities during 2009 and 2010, and the impact of the reorganization on the operational performance of the Company.

Many of such factors are beyond the control of the Company and its management. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date on which such statements were made. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new, changing or unanticipated events or circumstances.

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.

Our material weakness in internal control over financial reporting may adversely affect our ability to accurately report our financial results

While we have taken numerous steps to strengthen our controls and procedures, at December 31, 2011, the Company continued to have a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to having 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. Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful remediation of the material weakness will require review and additional evidence of effectiveness prior to management concluding that the controls are effective. Until management is able to ensure the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the material weakness may materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to report accurately its financial information in a timely and reliable manner. If we fail to 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 may adversely affect our financial statements.

We are subject to worldwide economic cycles.

Worldwide economic cycles affect the markets that the Company’s business serve and could affect demand for the Company’s products and impact profitability. Among other factors, disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, swings in consumer confidence and spending, unstable economic growth and fluctuations in unemployment rates could cause further economic instability and could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and make it difficult to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Demand for the Company’s products may be affected by continued uncertainty regarding the overall economic outlook for both U.S. and non-U.S. economies.

We are highly leveraged, and such leverage could adversely affect our ability to fulfill our debt obligations and may place us at a competitive disadvantage in our industry.

We are highly leveraged, and such leverage may have negative consequences since we must dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service. Our significant leverage may:

 

   

increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions;

 

   

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, and other general operating requirements;

 

   

restrict us from pursuing business opportunities; and

 

   

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt.

Our business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay the principal of, or interest on, our indebtedness. If we cannot fund our liquidity needs, we will have to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures and product development efforts; reducing headcount, selling assets; restructuring or refinancing our debt; or seeking additional equity capital. Such actions could further negatively impact our ability to generate cash flows. We cannot assure you that any of these actions could, if necessary, be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that they would

Table of Contents

permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Certain of our debt agreements limit the use of the proceeds from any disposition of assets and, as a result, we may not be allowed, under those agreements, to use the proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy all current debt service obligations. Our current debt agreements limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, so our ability to borrow additional money may be limited by our debt holders or by conditions in the credit markets. In addition, if we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including the risk that we will be unable to service our debt or generate enough cash flow to fund our liquidity needs, could intensify.

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. 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 55.4% of net sales in 2011. 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 any of our large customers 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 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 adversely 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. In addition, the recent general global economic downturn, or a deterioration in the global economy, 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 recent actions to outsource certain manufacturing operations to achieve cost reductions.

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

 

12


Table of Contents

Our business is subject to certain risks associated with doing business internationally. Approximately 53.8% of our net sales in 2011 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, we will also be faced with the operational challenges of managing a significant portion of our business at great distances from our corporate headquarters, hiring talented local employees with the skills necessary to support an international business, indoctrinating international employees regarding Company policies and procedures, and integrating our core infrastructure, including our accounting systems and software. 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.

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, 2011, the fair value of assets of our pension plan was 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 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.

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

 

14


Table of Contents

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 market. 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 other 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 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 an increase of our management’s time and attention.

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

On December 20, 2004, Holdings issued $100 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. The indenture governing Stanadyne’s senior subordinated notes limits the amount of dividends that can be paid to an amount calculated under a Restricted Payments Basket (as defined by the terms of the indenture) (“RP Basket”). Holdings relies on dividends from SIHC which are received from Stanadyne to make semi-annual interest payments on its senior discount notes. Failure to make these interest payments would result in an event of default under the terms of the senior discount notes. Kohlberg has advised Holdings that it will provide financial assistance to Holdings, to the extent necessary, in meeting the semi-annual interest payments that will be due over the next twelve months. If necessary, Kohlberg will provide Holdings with an equity infusion of up to $6 million, although management believes that such full amount will not be required during this period. Should Kohlberg be unable to provide this financial assistance to Holdings and the amounts available in the RP Basket not be sufficient to allow dividends from SIHC which are received from Stanadyne to pay the interest on Holdings senior discount notes, an event of default would occur.

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.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As of March 1, 2012, SIHC was the holder of record of all the outstanding shares of common stock, par value, $.01 per share, of Stanadyne (the “Stanadyne Common Stock”). Also as of March 1, 2012, Holdings was the holder of record of all the outstanding shares of common stock, par value, $.01 per share, of SIHC (the “SIHC Common Stock”). There is no established trading market for the Stanadyne Common Stock or the SIHC Common Stock. Stanadyne is restricted in the amount of dividends it can pay under the covenants of its subordinated note indenture and revolving credit agreements. Stanadyne does not have any compensation plans under which its equity securities are authorized for issuance.

As of March 1, 2012, Holdings is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Holdings Common Stock”), of which 105,652,581 shares were outstanding. Holdings is restricted from paying dividends under the covenants of its Discount Notes indenture. A group of investors led by Kohlberg and current and retired members of management of the Company, totaling 32 holders, own substantially all of Holdings Common Stock. There is no established trading market for Holdings Common Stock.

Stanadyne has paid cash dividends to SIHC which in turn paid dividends to Holdings in order for Holdings to service its debt. These dividends were in compliance with the terms of the U.S. Revolver and the indenture governing the Notes. Stanadyne would expect to continue to pay dividends used to service Holdings’ debt to the extent permitted by the terms of the U.S. Revolver and the indenture governing the Notes. Holdings does not regularly pay or declare cash dividends.

Holdings created the KSTA Holdings, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“Option Plan”), which provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and/or directors of the Company. The following table sets forth information regarding the Option Plan as of December 31, 2011.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

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.

Business in 2011 continued to reflect strong customer demand for our diesel fuel system products used in the agriculture, construction and industrial equipment markets. Inefficiencies related to the relocation of our U.S. manufacturing operations continued to be the most significant operational factor through the

year, limiting diesel fuel pump component production and constraining sales to both our OEM and service customers, resulting in sizeable past due order backlogs at the end of the year. These inefficiencies were largely limited to production in our rotary fuel pump operations, while production of our filtration and fuel injector products continued with little interruption. Production in our recently expanded facilities in China and India steadily increased during 2011, supplying diesel fuel injection equipment to both the local markets and component exports back to our factories in the U.S.

Net sales for 2011 totaled $245.8 million, reflecting a decrease of $4.8 million or 1.9% when compared to sales for 2010. Although customer demand was higher in 2011 from most of our OEM and service customers, production constraints for components used in our diesel fuel pumps limited our sales of those products. Two notable exceptions to the higher customer demand in 2011 were $5.0 million lower sales to General Engine Products, Inc. (“GEP”) due to declining demand for our fuel pumps used in the High Mobility Multi-Wheeled Vehicles (“HMMWV’s”) used by the military and $17.1 million lower sales of our gasoline direct injection pumps to Daimler-Benz (“Daimler”) resulting from the completion of the supply contract late in 2010. We are working on other direct injection gasoline pump programs to address a growing demand for these high pressure fuel systems that are well aligned with our engineering capabilities. The first of these new programs, a high pressure gasoline fuel pump for General Motors, is expected to start production in 2013.

Our five year commercial agreement with Deere & Company (“Deere”) expired on October 31, 2011. Stanadyne and Deere agreed that the expired long-term agreement format would not allow enough flexibility to address the changing nature of the global markets demand for diesel fuel injection equipment. Consequently, both parties agreed not to renew a long-term agreement at this time and to continue the long-standing commercial relationship on terms similar to those in the prior agreement.

Operating income in 2011 was $11.0 million and 4.5% of sales, representing a decrease of $9.9 million and 47.3% from 2010, due primarily to $9.4 million in added costs and inefficiencies in 2011 related to the realignment of the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and the temporary impact it has had on our U.S. manufacturing activities – specifically, higher costs for labor, overtime, scrap, supplies, and transportation of materials. Management initiated a detailed corrective action plan in the second half of 2011, aided by outside consultants, targeted to increase production output of diesel fuel pump components and reduce operating costs. Expanded operations in our Changshu, China and Chennai, India locations were fully operational by mid-2011, and we will complete relocation of additional manufacturing capacity from the U.S. to China and India as necessary. We have repositioned our manufacturing base to capitalize on growing business opportunities around the world.

Although liquidity was sufficient to fund operations during 2011, the Company’s cash flows from operations were adversely affected by inefficiencies related to our reorganization activities. During 2011, we increased the size of our U.S.-based revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo from $30.0 million to $55.8 million, with availability at December 31, 2011 of $38.3 million, after reflecting $8.0 million of borrowings and $4.5 million used for standby letters of credit. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information regarding our liquidity. We believe that this added available liquidity will assist in our growth over the next few years.

2011 COMPARED TO 2010

Net Sales. Net sales for 2011 totaled $245.8 million and were $4.8 million, and 1.9 % less than sales of $250.6 million for 2010. Included in the 2011 sales was an unfavorable currency translation effect of less than 1.0%. This year-to-year sales decrease was due primarily to $5.0 million less sales to GEP (reflecting declining demand for fuel pumps used on the U.S. military HMMWV) and $17.1 million lower sales to Daimler (due to the completion of the contract for supply of gasoline direct injection pumps in late 2010). Sales to most of our other customers were higher in 2011 when compared to 2010, although diesel fuel pump sales were limited during 2011 due to production difficulties in our U.S. factories related to the relocation of manufacturing operations from our Connecticut to North Carolina plants.

OEM sales represented 55% of our total sales in 2011 as compared to 54% in 2010. The increase in our 2011 OEM business was broad-based, with higher sales to most customers, with only few exceptions, however production difficulties in our U.S. plants limited supply of fuel pump components to the OEM markets. Increased demand from our largest customer, Deere, for products used in their agriculture, construction and forestry equipment as well as utility tractors resulted in $6.8 million higher sales in 2011 than the prior year. Sales to our other OEM customers including, Caterpillar, AGCO SISU POWER (“SISU”), Perkins Engines Co. Ltd. (“Perkins”), Lombardini SRL, Iveco S.p.A., Case New Holland and J C Bamford Excavators Ltd. were collectively $15.7 million higher in 2011 as compared to the prior year. There were two major exceptions to the generally higher levels of OEM sales in 2011. First, in late 2010, we completed the contract to supply our high pressure gasoline pump to Daimler, resulting in $17.1 million lower sales in 2011. Second, declining demand for fuel pumps used on the U.S. military HUMMWV resulted in $5.1 million lower sales to GEP in 2011.

Sales to the service markets represented 45% of our total sales in 2011 as compared to 46% in 2010. Demand for products from our service customers was strong during 2011 but production difficulties in our U.S. plants limited supply of fuel pump components to the service markets. Service sales in 2011 to Deere were $1.2 million lower than 2010. Sales to our independent distribution network in 2011 were only $0.1 million less than the prior year, however the past due order backlog was approximately $5.0 million at the end of 2011, again reflecting the production constraints for fuel pump components during the year.

Sales by major product line in 2011, when compared to 2010, were lower for high pressure gasoline fuel pumps, diesel fuel pumps for the HUMMWV, diesel fuel injectors and Precision Components & Assembly (“PCA”) products and higher for diesel fuel pumps and filtration products.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. Cost of goods sold totaled $187.5 million and 76.3% of net sales in 2011, compared to $177.4 million and 70.8% of net sales in 2010. Gross profit totaled $58.3 million

Table of Contents

and 23.7% of net sales in 2011, compared to $73.2 million and 29.2% of net sales in 2010. This $14.9 million decrease in gross profit was due to the following increases and decreases in 2011 cost of goods sold when compared to 2010:

 

Decreases in gross profit -

  

Higher manufacturing inefficiencies

   -$  9.4 million   

Higher factory overhead costs

   -$  5.6 million   

Lower sales volume and unfavorable market/product mix

   -$  2.6 million   

Higher LIFO inventory expense

   -$  1.7 million   

Increases in gross profit -

  

Lower depreciation expense

   +$  1.9 million   

Lower performance bonus expense

   +$  1.3 million   

Lower Windsor employee retention bonus

   +$  1.2 million   

Manufacturing inefficiencies in our U.S. operations, primarily caused by the large-scale equipment relocation in late 2010 from the Windsor, Connecticut plant to the North Carolina manufacturing plants, resulted in $9.4 million of additional costs in 2011. The disruption in our U.S. operations was primarily limited to the manufacture of our diesel fuel pump product line. Most of the equipment was re-installed and re-qualified for production in the first quarter of 2011, resulting in additional costs for labor inefficiencies, scrap and equipment maintenance. Production output stabilized and increased in the second quarter of 2011, although operating efficiencies were not at the pre-move levels. Operations in the third quarter of 2011 continued to demonstrate improving trends for output and cost. Operations in the fourth quarter faced new challenges when critical equipment in the Jacksonville, North Carolina plant required repair and again increased manufacturing inefficiencies and limited production.

Factory overhead costs increased $5.6 million in 2011 when compared to 2010, including $3.1 million higher overhead in support of the expanded production activities in our international operations during the year. Factory overhead in our U.S. operations increased $2.5 million in 2011, due primarily to added costs for building maintenance and other factory support for the equipment moved from Connecticut to North Carolina.

The lower sales volumes and changes in product mix in 2011 resulted in $2.6 million lower gross profit when compared to 2010.

Cost increases in our U.S. supply chain and manufacturing operations during 2011 required an increase to the LIFO inventory reserve and resulted in $1.7 million greater LIFO expense in 2011 when compared to 2010.

Depreciation expense was $1.9 million lower in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to accelerated depreciation in 2010 for certain assets identified as no longer being used and, to a lesser extent, certain equipment acquired in 2004 becoming fully depreciated.

We did not achieve the EBITDA level in 2011 required by our performance bonus plan. As a result, there was no amount incurred for performance bonus expense in 2011 as compared to $1.3 million incurred in 2010.

Employee severance cost accrued in 2011 (related to the completion bonus paid to Windsor, Connecticut employees terminated as a result of the consolidation of U.S. manufacturing operations) was $1.2 million less in 2011 when compared to 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A totaled $43.6 million or 17.7% of net sales in 2011, as compared to $48.4 million or 19.3% of net sales in 2010.

Table of Contents

Costs related to the consolidation of our U.S. manufacturing operations totaled $4.3 million less in 2011 as compared to 2010, reflecting lesser amounts paid for equipment relocation, training and salaries for management of the reorganization process. Costs associated with the expansion of our operations in China totaled approximately $0.6 million less in 2011 as compared to 2010. SG&A costs were also lower in 2011 because we did not achieve the EBITDA level required by our performance bonus plan. As a result, there was no amount incurred for performance bonus expense in 2011 as compared to $1.5 million incurred in 2010. Professional fees were $1.5 million less in 2011, primarily due to the high costs incurred in 2010 for consulting fees to assist in the integration of our IT software with our international subsidiaries, and fees related to the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. Costs increased in 2011 when compared to 2010 by $0.9 million for administrative salaries and benefits. Research and development costs increased by $2.9 million primarily due to added engineering development of the Company’s high pressure gasoline and diesel common rail fuel systems. This added engineering cost was partially offset by $2.2 million additional customer funding for these development programs in 2011 compared to 2010. Costs for freight on sales to customers were also $1.8 million higher in 2011 when compared to 2010 due to premium transportation costs for late shipments from our factories.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $2.9 million in 2011 and $3.2 million in 2010. This reduction in 2011 amortization expense was due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized in 2010.

The Company incurred management fees of $0.8 in 2011 and 2010, payable to Kohlberg & Company L.L.C. for management services provided.

Operating Income. Operating income for Stanadyne in 2011 totaled $11.0 million and 4.5% of net sales and was $9.9 million less than operating income of $20.9 million and 8.3% of net sales in 2010. This decrease in operating income was due to $14.9 million lower gross profit in 2011 driven by significant amounts incurred for reorganization of our U.S. manufacturing operations, partially offset by $4.5 million lower SG&A expense and $0.3 million lower amortization expense. Operating income for Holdings in 2011 was $0.1 million less than for Stanadyne due to additional SG&A costs.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit for Stanadyne in 2011 totaled $4.3 million and 48.3% of pre-tax loss versus an income tax expense of $3.3 million and 139.2% of pre-tax income in 2010. In 2011, the valuation allowance previously established for SpA was partially released due to the current year utilization of net operating loss carry forwards as well as a change in the fiscal regulations that made the future tax benefits from prior year operating losses permanent. This change resulted in a tax benefit of $1.9 million in 2011. Also, the effective income tax rates differ from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% to pre-tax income (loss) in 2011 and 2010 because income tax provisions incurred in jurisdictions where Stanadyne generated income and losses, respectively, before income taxes which were not significantly offset by income tax benefits in jurisdictions where Stanadyne incurred losses before income taxes.

Income tax expense for Holdings in 2011 totaled $11.3 million and (53.4)% of pre-tax loss versus an income tax expense of less than $0.1 million and (0.4)% of pre-tax loss in 2010. Holdings established a full valuation allowance at the end of 2011 for $19.1 million of deferred tax assets as it determined that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would not be realized. Factors considered by Holdings in this determination included losses incurred in recent periods. The effective income tax rates also differ from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% to the pre-tax income (loss) in 2011 and 2010 primarily because income tax provisions incurred in jurisdictions where Holdings generated income and losses, respectively, before income taxes which were, due to valuation allowances, not significantly offset by income tax benefits in jurisdictions where Holdings incurred losses before income taxes. Further, a percentage of Holdings interest expense is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Net (Loss) Income. Net loss for Stanadyne in 2011 totaled $4.2 million or 1.7% of net sales as compared to net income in 2010 of $0.6 million or 0.2% of net sales. This $4.8 million decrease in net income was due to $10.1 million lower operating income, as well as $1.1 million higher net interest expense on higher levels of debt and $1.2 million lower loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”) in 2011, partially offset by $7.6 million lower income taxes.

Net loss for Holdings in 2011 was $27.9 million more than for Stanadyne due to $12.3 million of additional net interest expense on Holdings’ senior discount notes, as well as $15.6 million in higher income tax expense driven by the $19.1 million valuation allowance.

2010 COMPARED TO 2009

Net Sales. Net sales for 2010 totaled $250.6 million and were $64.8 million, or 34.9 % more than sales of $185.8 million for 2009. Included in the 2010 sales was an unfavorable currency translation effect of less than 1.0%. Sales to all of our customers, with only few exceptions were significantly higher in 2010 as compared to 2009, reflecting increasing demand in the end markets for our products, including agriculture, heavy duty truck, construction and power generation equipment.

OEM sales represented 54.0% of our total sales in 2010 as compared to 47.8% in 2009. The increase in our 2010 OEM business was broad-based, with higher sales to most customers, with only few exceptions, as the global economic recession receded for construction, agricultural and industrial equipment. Increased demand from our largest customer, Deere, for products used in their construction and forestry equipment as well as utility tractors resulted in $15.4 million higher sales in 2010 than the prior year. Higher demand from our other major OEM customers, including Caterpillar, Cummins, SISU , Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), Perkins , Lombardini SRL, Iveco S.p.A., Case New Holland and J C Bamford Excavators Ltd. combined for a $24.3 million increase in 2010 sales as compared to the prior year. Sales of our high pressure gasoline pump to Daimler totaled $17.4 million in 2010, an increase of $5.6 million as compared to the same period a year ago. Our contract with Daimler concluded in the fourth quarter of 2010 as originally scheduled, and Stanadyne will continue to supply high pressure gasoline pumps to the service markets. The only significant exception to the stronger year OEM sales results was a $6.3 million decrease in sales to GEP, due to declining demand for fuel pumps used in the military HMMWV.

Sales to the service markets represented 46.0% of our total sales in 2010 as compared to 52.2% in 2009. Demand for products from our service customers began to recover by mid 2010 from the 2009 recessionary levels. Higher service sales in 2010 were most evident with increases in sales to Deere and our central distributors amounting to $22.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Sales in 2010 were significantly higher in all of our major product lines when compared to the prior year, reflecting the rebound from the global recession in all of our lines of business except for fuel pumps used in the military HMMWV sold to GEP. Year-over-year sales increases in our diesel fuel pump, fuel injector, fuel filtration and Precision Components & Assembly product lines ranged from 16.8% to 150.6%, with larger increases reflecting a greater proportion of OEM versus service sales.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. Cost of goods sold totaled $177.4 million and 70.8% of net sales in 2010, compared to $139.0 million and 74.8% of net sales in 2009. Gross profit totaled $73.2 million and 29.2% of net sales in 2010, compared to $46.8 million and 25.2% of net sales in 2009. This $26.4 million increase in gross profit was due to the following increases and decreases in 2010 cost of goods sold when compared to 2009:

The higher sales volumes in all of our lines of business in 2010 (other than the fuel pumps sold to GEP) resulted in $30.9 million higher gross profit when compared to 2009, although the higher proportion of OEM versus service sales in 2010 lessened the overall increase in gross profit.

Depreciation expense was $4.8 million lower in 2010 as compared to 2009. 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 2010. This benefit was partially offset by $0.8 million of accelerated depreciation on assets in 2010 resulting from the decision to close our Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing facility. While many of the fixed assets used in Windsor have been transferred to our other manufacturing facilities, upon closure of this plant in 2011, we determined that certain fixed assets would no longer be used. We revised our estimate of the useful life of these assets and adjusted the depreciation expense accordingly.

In May 2010, we reversed some of the cost reduction actions taken during 2009, including wage reductions, and increased staff to support higher production volumes resulting in a $1.1 million increase in U.S. overhead labor costs. Expanded operations in our China and India locations resulted in an increase of $5.2 million in factory expansion and overhead costs in 2010 when compared to 2009.

We achieved the EBITDA level in 2010 required by our performance bonus plan. As a result, there was $2.9 million incurred for performance bonus expense in 2010 as compared to no amount incurred in 2009.

The reorganization of our North American operations announced in the second quarter of 2009 resulted in the closure of the manufacturing plant in our Windsor, Connecticut location in 2011. We provided a retention bonus to employees of that location to continue working until their jobs were eliminated. The aggregate amount of these bonuses was approximately $2.5 million of which $1.2 million was expensed in 2010 compared to $1.1 million expensed in 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A totaled $48.4 million or 19.3% of net sales in 2010, as compared to $33.7 million or 18.1% of net sales in 2009. Salary and other employee benefits reductions enacted in 2009 were reversed in 2010 which, when combined with added expense accruals in accordance with the terms of the 2010 performance bonus plan, accounted for $3.9 million of the higher SG&A expense. Higher levels of business activity in 2010 drove increases in costs for travel of $1.1 million and freight on sales to customers of $1.4 million in 2010 when compared to 2009. Unrealized losses on foreign denominated debt in our international subsidiaries were $1.1 million more in 2010 than 2009, primarily due to the relatively weaker euro. Professional fees, including the re-audit of our 2007 and 2008 financial periods and the audit of our 2010 results as well as consulting fees to assist in the integration of our IT software with our foreign subsidiaries were $2.0 million more in 2010 than 2009. Costs associated with the consolidation of our U.S. manufacturing operations totaled $7.4 million more in 2010 as compared to 2009, reflecting the amounts paid for equipment relocation, training and salaries related to management of the reorganization process. A majority of the equipment was relocated in 2010 and any remaining reorganization activity should be concluded by mid-2011. Costs associated with the expansion of our operations in China and India totaled approximately $0.6 million less in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.2 million in 2010 and $3.2 million in 2009.

The Company incurred management fees of $750 in 2010 and 2009, payable to Kohlberg & Company L.L.C. for management services provided.

Operating Income. Operating income for Stanadyne in 2010 totaled $20.9 million and 8.3% of net sales and was $18.3 million greater than operating income of $2.6 million and 1.4% of net sales in 2009, despite the significant amounts incurred for reorganization of our U.S. manufacturing operations. Excluding the 2009 goodwill impairment charge of $6.5 million, the year-over-year comparison reflected an increase of $11.8 million that resulted from $26.4 million higher gross profit partially offset by $14.6 million higher SG&A expense. Operating income for Holdings in 2010 was $0.1 million less than for Stanadyne due to additional SG&A costs.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense for Stanadyne in 2010 totaled $3.3 million and 139.2% of pre-tax income versus an income tax benefit of $0.2 million and 1.3% of pre-tax loss in 2009. The effective income tax rates differ from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% to pre-tax income (loss) in 2010 and 2009 primarily because income tax provisions incurred in jurisdictions where Stanadyne generated income and losses, respectively, before income taxes which were, due to valuation allowances, not significantly offset by income tax benefits in jurisdictions where Stanadyne incurred losses before income taxes.

Income tax expense for Holdings in 2010 totaled less than $0.1 million and (0.4)% of pre-tax loss versus an income tax benefit of $3.5 million and 12.9% of pre-tax loss in 2009. The effective income tax rates differ from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% to the pre-tax income (loss) in 2010 and 2009 primarily because income tax provisions incurred in jurisdictions where Holdings generated income and losses, respectively, before income taxes which were, due to valuation allowances, not significantly offset by income tax benefits in jurisdictions where Holdings incurred losses before income taxes. Further, a percentage of Holdings interest expense is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income (Loss). Net income for Stanadyne in 2010 totaled $0.6 million or 0.2% of net sales as compared to a net loss in 2009 of $14.3 million or 7.7% of net sales. This $14.9 million increase in net earnings was due to $18.3 million of higher operating income in 2010 partially offset by $0.6 million higher net interest expense on higher levels of debt, $3.5 million higher income taxes and $0.6 million higher loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in SAPL.

Net losses for Holdings in 2010 were $9.1 million more than for Stanadyne due to $12.4 million of additional net interest expense on Holdings’ senior discount notes, partially offset by $3.3 million lower income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, which totaled $1.8 million on December 31, 2011, and cash flows from operations, supplemented as needed by our short-term financing arrangements described below. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 consisted of commercial paper and certificates of deposit.

Our revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“U.S. Revolver”) provides for borrowings based on Availability of eligible collateral, as defined, and is secured by all Stanadyne and

Table of Contents

SIHC U.S.-based assets, a pledge of 65% of Stanadyne’s stock in SpA, SAPL, and Stanadyne Changshu Corp. (“SCC”), as well as a $20.8 million guarantee from certain investors and primary equity holders managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. There were four amendments to the U.S. Revolver and related facilities during 2011 and through March 2012. First, on March 25, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo amended the U.S. Revolver to provide for terms and conditions that reflected current market offerings for similar asset-based lending arrangements. The effect of this amendment reduced the cost of borrowing, increased the amount of eligible collateral and extended the term of the U.S. Revolver by one year to August 13, 2014. Second, on September 26, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo amended the U.S. Revolver to increase the maximum amount available under the agreement from $30.0 million to $35.0 million, based on an increase in the EXIM guaranteed sub-facility from $10.0 million to $15.0 million. Third, on December 16, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo again amended the U.S. Revolver to increase the maximum amount available under the agreement from $35.0 million to $55.8 million by adding a Guaranteed Facility for $20.8 million, and changed the expiration date for the U.S. Revolver to April 30, 2014 from August 13, 2014. Fourth, on March 28, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo amended the U.S. Revolver to allow the Company to permanently reduce the amount of available credit under the Guaranteed Facility, in increments of $1.0 million, with a 10 day notice. Such actions would be taken at the direction of Kohlberg in the event equity infusions are made to Holdings. There was $8.0 million outstanding under the U.S. Revolver as of December 31, 2011, with additional Availability of $38.2 million, based on eligible collateral and after considering $4.5 million used for standby letters of credit and other limitations related to inventory and accounts receivable.

We also occasionally utilize capital leasing and, for our foreign operations in China, Italy and India, maintain a combination of overdraft, bankers acceptance, working capital and term loan facilities with local financial institutions on an as-needed basis.

Indebtedness for Stanadyne as of December 31, 2011 totaled $183.9 million and was comprised of $160.0 million of Notes, $8.7 million in foreign overdraft and revolving credit facilities, $8.0 million borrowed under the U.S. Revolver, $1.2 million of SAPL debentures and $6.0 million in foreign term loans. The U.S. Revolver is not subject to financial covenants unless the availability of funds is less than $4.0 million, when it is then subject to a ratio of earnings to fixed charges covenant.

Indebtedness for Holdings as of December 31, 2011 totaled $283.9 million, comprised of the same debt balances for Stanadyne, plus an additional $100.0 million of Discount Notes. The Discount Notes accreted to their full face value in August 2009. The 12% coupon is payable semi-annually and payments have been made in February and August each year utilizing the proceeds of $6.0 million of dividends received in the first and third quarters of 2011 and 2010. These dividends were in compliance with the terms of the U.S. Revolver and the indenture governing the Notes.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been and may continue to be adversely affected by our reorganization activities, the global recession, significant volatility in the worldwide capital, credit and commodities markets, concerns about inflation, lower corporate profits and increased capital spending. Holdings incurred net losses in each of the last three years and negative cash flows from operations in 2010 and 2011. Stanadyne incurred a net loss in 2009 and again in 2011 and negative cash flows from operations in 2011. Holdings and Stanadyne are both highly leveraged with total debt of $283.9 million and $183.9 million, respectively, outstanding at December 31, 2011. Holdings relies on dividends paid by Stanadyne to SIHC which are in turn paid to Holdings to make semi-annual interest payments on the Discount Notes. Failure to make these interest payments would result in an event of default under the terms of the Discount Notes. Kohlberg has advised Holdings that it will provide financial assistance to Holdings, to the extent necessary, in meeting the semi-annual interest payments that will come due during the next twelve months. If necessary, Kohlberg will provide Holdings with an equity infusion of up to $6 million, although management believes that such full amount will not be required during this period. The Company believes that with cash and cash equivalents on hand,

availability under the U.S. Revolver, expected operating cash flow in 2012, limited financial assistance from Kohlberg, and ongoing liquidity initiatives, it has sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months to meet its obligations. However, the factors described above create potential uncertainty, and we will continually monitor our revenues and operating cash flow against expectations. In the event the Company’s forecasts to generate sufficient operating cash flow are not realized, the Company may need to reduce headcount, reduce other spending, reduce or delay capital investments and product development, incur more indebtedness, restructure existing indebtedness, or raise additional equity capital, or a combination of these items, which may have a further negative impact on its business, results of operations, and cash flows. There can be no assurances that such additional indebtedness will be available on favorable terms or at all. In addition, our current debt agreements limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, so our ability to borrow additional money may be limited by our debt holders or by conditions in the credit markets

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Stanadyne’s cash flows from operating activities were negative $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to positive $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The $14.4 million decrease in annual operating cash flow was due primarily to a $3.6 million increased net loss from 2010 to 2011, a $5.0 million increase in the use of cash from changes in asset and liability accounts (primarily working capital accounts), and an increase of $5.8 million in non-cash and other charges, including depreciation and amortization.

Changes in working capital accounts affecting our 2011 cash flows from operating activities included the following:

 

   

Negative cash flows from changes in accounts receivable were $2.8 million less in 2011, as customer receivables decreased proportionately with the lower levels of sales in 2011 as compared to 2010. Shorter payment terms from our U.S. customers in 2011 also contributed to the favorable year-over-year cash flow change. There were no significant credit risks in our customer accounts receivable at the end of 2011.

 

   

Cash flows from changes in inventory balances were $0.1 million more in 2011 than in 2010, with approximately $9.2 million cash consumed in higher inventory levels each year. Inventory turnover for Stanadyne for 2011 was only 5.1x as compared to 6.4x for 2010. Inventory increased in 2011 for the following major reasons:

 

   

We built temporary increases in inventory in order to meet customer delivery schedules while we moved equipment to different locations and established new sources for some parts from our external supply base. Most of these transition inventories were reduced late in the year.

 

   

We experienced increases in work-in-process inventories during 2011 due to difficulties adapting our materials planning and scheduling systems to the new consolidated manufacturing organization.

 

   

Implementation of changes to our global manufacturing organization in 2011 resulted in a $1.4 million increase in inventory in-transit between our various locations.

 

   

Increased business activity in our international operations during 2011 resulted in $4.3 million negative cash flows to support higher inventory levels.

 

   

Cash flows from changes in other current asset accounts consumed $1.5 million less cash in 2011 than in 2010, due primarily to changes in timing of deposits and annual prepaid expenses.

 

   

Cash flows from changes in accounts payable balances provided $1.0 million less cash in 2011 than in 2010. Accounts payable balances increased by $6.8 million in 2011, reflecting a higher value for purchased materials resulting from the outsourcing of components previously manufactured in our Windsor, Connecticut facility and extended payment terms to some of our supply base. Accounts payable balances increased by $7.8 million in 2010, reflecting the post-recession increase in our business.

Table of Contents
   

Cash flows from changes in all other asset and liability accounts consumed $8.3 million more cash in 2011 than in 2010. This difference was due primarily to lower accruals for income taxes and pension expense as well as differences in timing of disbursements between the two periods, including a $6.5 million difference between amounts accrued for performance bonus plans in 2010, subsequently paid and no offsetting accrual in 2011.

Cash flows from operating activities for Holdings were $12.0 million less in 2011 than the amount reported for Stanadyne which was due to $12.0 million of interest payments made in 2011 for Holding’s $100.0 million Discount Notes.

The $5.8 million increase in operating cash flow during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year was due primarily to the $14.3 million reduction in net loss from 2009 to 2010 and a $2.3 million reduction in the use of cash from changes in asset and liability accounts (primarily working capital accounts), offset by reductions of $11.9 million in non-cash and other charges, including depreciation, amortization and goodwill impairment.

Changes in working capital accounts affecting our 2010 cash flows from operating activities included the following:

 

   

Negative cash flows from changes in accounts receivable were $9.5 million greater in 2010, as customer receivables increased proportionately with the higher levels of sales in 2010 as compared to 2009. There were no significant credit risks in our customer accounts receivable at the end of 2010.

 

   

Changes in inventory levels required $11.8 million more cash in 2010 than in 2009. As our business activity recovered from the recessionary levels in 2009, higher customer demand in 2010 required increases in inventory at all of our manufacturing locations. Inventory levels increased $9.1 million in 2010 as compared to the $2.7 million inventory reduction in 2009. Inventory turnover was 6.4x in 2010 versus 6.9x in 2009, reflecting a less efficient use of inventory resulting from restructuring activities. The consolidation of our North American operations involves relocation of the entire Windsor, Connecticut manufacturing activity as well as outsourcing the production of certain non-core components to our supply base. This process requires temporary increases in inventory in order to meet customer delivery schedules while we move equipment to a different location.

 

   

Changes in accounts payable balances required $10.7 million less cash in 2010 than in 2009. Accounts payable balances increased $7.8 million in 2010 as compared to a decrease of $2.9 million in 2009. Accounts payable balances increased proportionately with the higher levels of business in 2010, reflecting the opposite situation experienced in 2009 when accounts payable balances were declining due to reduced business levels.

 

   

Changes in accrued liabilities and other non-current assets and liabilities consumed $13.0 million more cash in 2010 than in 2009. This difference in year over year cash flows was due primarily to differences in timing of disbursements between the two years, and the disbursement of the performance bonus payments related to 2008 in 2009 with no like payments in 2010 since no bonuses were earned for 2009.

Cash flows from operating activities for Holdings were $11.9 million less in 2010 than the amount reported for Stanadyne which was primarily due to $12.0 million of interest payments made in 2010 for Holding’s $100.0 million Discount Notes.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities in 2011, 2010 and 2009, totaled $5.3 million, $14.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, primarily reflecting our investment in capital equipment in each of those years.

Capital expenditures in all three years reflected investments in equipment to increase capacity, reduce costs, and improve quality, safety and ergonomics.

Capital expenditures of $1.3 million, $7.3 million and $3.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, represented capital expenditures for equipment and leasehold improvements for the expansion of our manufacturing operations in India. The expanded operations in India support the manufacture of diesel fuel pumps for local customers and components for our assembly plants in the U.S. The balance of the capital expenditures in 2011, 2010 and 2009 reflected necessary investments in equipment to support our global operations in the U.S., China, and Italy.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Stanadyne’s cash flows from financing activities consumed cash of $2.8 million, $1.6 million and $16.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S. operations in 2011 consumed $4.2 million in 2011: $8.0 million borrowed under the U.S. Revolver, offset by $12.0 million dividends paid and $0.2 million debt origination costs related to the modifications made to the U.S. Revolver.

Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL during 2011 included cash proceeds of $2.6 million net proceeds from increases in term loan and overdraft facilities, partially offset by payments of capital lease obligations totaling $0.1 million. Cash flows from financing activities in SpA included $0.5 million cash consumed to reduce overdraft borrowings and payments of capital lease obligations of $0.4 million. Cash flows from financing activities in SCC included a $0.1 million increase in overdraft borrowings and a decrease of $0.3 million in outstanding Bankers Acceptances used to finance working capital requirements.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S. operations in 2010 were limited to dividends paid totaling $12.0 million.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2010 included $1.6 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of debentures by SAPL to the non-controlling interest partners. The debentures pay 11% interest annually and are compulsorily convertible to shares of common equity in SAPL in 2020. The proceeds of the debentures were used to partially fund the acquisition of equipment and working capital to support the expansion of manufacturing operations in SAPL. Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL during 2010 also included cash proceeds of $0.5 million from additional common equity investment from the non-controlling interest partners, as well as $6.8 million of net proceeds from term loan and overdraft facilities, and payments of capital lease obligations totaling $0.7 million. Cash flows from financing activities in SpA included $0.2 million proceeds from overdraft borrowings to finance working capital requirements and payments of capital lease obligations totaling $0.4 million. Cash flows from financing activities in SCC included a $2.4 million increase in overdraft borrowings to finance working capital requirements and payments of capital lease obligations totaling $0.1 million.

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 a $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 2011, 2010 and 2009 included the amounts reported for Stanadyne less the dividends Stanadyne paid, as well as $0.1 million in 2010 and $0.2 million in 2009 for the repurchase of its common stock due to the repurchase of shares of common stock from former management shareholders.

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. 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 continue 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 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, with input from the Pension Plan investment advisor, selected an 8.0% expected return assumption which was used for determination of 2011 net periodic pension expense. 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 8.0% for 2011 and 2010. 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 5.5 % established for December 31, 2011 reflects a reduction of 0.5% from the 6.0% rate used at December 31, 2010. The discount rate selected is consistent with the market yields on high quality fixed income securities between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011. 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 for 2011, we also utilize the results of a cash flow model based on the Towers Watson’s RATE:Link model. 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.

The value of invested Pension Plan assets grew to $79.1 million at December 31, 2011, representing a small increase from the $78.5 million value at December 31, 2010. The Company contributed $6.0 million to the Pension Plan in 2011, however benefits paid and a negative return on invested Pension Plan assets during the year limited the overall change in year-end value.

Higher returns on invested Pension Plan assets in 2010 helped increase the value to $78.5 million at December 31, 2010 from $69.2 million at December 31, 2009. Due to the better returns in the U.S. equity markets in 2009, the value of the Pension Plan assets increased to $69.2 million at December 31, 2009, from $54.6 million at December 31, 2008. The Company contributed $5.3 million and $2.4 million to the Pension Plan in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During 2011, the unfunded liability for the combined Pension Plan and non-qualified plan increased by $11.0 million from the prior year to $42.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Reduction in the discount rates for the Pension Plan from 5.50% to 4.75% and for the non-qualified plan from 5.00% to 4.25% resulted in a $10.1 million increase to the combined liability. The balance of the year-over-year increase in the unfunded liability was due to an update to the mortality tables used by our actuaries as well as other smaller changes from updated census data.

During 2010, the unfunded liability for the combined Pension Plan and non-qualified plan decreased by $2.0 million from the prior year to $31.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The higher return on invested assets was more than offset by an increase in the projected benefit obligation due to the reduction in discount rate. This increased liability resulted in an equal pretax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

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.

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, impairment of long-lived assets goodwill and other intangibles, product warranty reserves, inventory reserves for excess or obsolescence, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities and self-insurance reserves.

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. In addition, the Company occasionally enters into development contracts with certain customers and recognizes revenues on those contracts

 

37


Table of Contents

under the Milestone Method of revenue recognition, as defined in ASC 605. 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets (including property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets) when events or circumstances warrant such a review. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter each year or more often if events or circumstances indicate a reduction in the fair value below the carrying value. Goodwill is allocated and reviewed for impairment by reporting unit. The goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. To test for goodwill impairment, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared with its fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill or long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset (see Note 6). The fair value of the our reporting unit with goodwill was determined to be substantially in excess of its carrying value.

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

Inventory Reserves. 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. 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 through December 31, 2011. The LIFO inventory reserve value represents the amount necessary to state the Company’s U.S.-based inventories valued on a FIFO to LIFO basis.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Liabilities. 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.

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

Fair Value Measurement. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” This ASU clarifies the concepts related to highest and best use and valuation premise, blockage factors and other premiums and discounts, the fair value measurement of financial instruments held in a portfolio and of those instruments classified as a component of shareowners’ equity. The guidance includes enhanced

Table of Contents

disclosure requirements about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the use of nonfinancial assets, and the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early application is prohibited. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

Comprehensive Income. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter 2012.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This ASU intends to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Previous guidance required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2011 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in 2012.

Balance Sheet. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” In an effort to improve comparison between financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP and those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the ASU will require entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope of this ASU includes derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The guidance is effective retrospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new 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 are 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 2011 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, 2011 was $135.4 million. The fair value of Holdings’ Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2011 was $93.0 million.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Company has operating subsidiaries in China, Italy, and India and therefore is exposed 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. However, historically, these locations have contributed less than 20% of the Company’s net sales and retained earnings, with most of these sales attributable to the Italian subsidiary. The Company also sells its products from the United States to foreign customers for payment in foreign currencies as well as U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange losses totaled $0.6 million in 2011 and $0.5 million in 2010. The Company does not hedge against foreign currency risk.

Commodity Price Risk. Some raw materials and operating supplies are subject to price and supply fluctuations caused by market dynamics. Our strategic sourcing initiatives are focused on mitigating the impact of commodity price risk. Although some of our commercial agreements allow us to pass on certain unusual increases in component and raw material costs to our customers in limited situations, we may not be fully compensated for such increased costs. To a lesser extent, we also are exposed to fluctuations in the prices of certain utilities and services, such as electricity, natural gas, and freight.

We generally do not employ forward contract or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price or other price risks, although we continue to review a full range of business options focused on strategic risk management for all raw material commodities. Any failure by our suppliers to provide acceptable raw materials, components, or subassemblies could adversely affect our production schedules and contract profitability. We assess qualification of suppliers and continually monitor them to control risk associated with such supply base reliance.

(1) Business and Consolidation

Description of Business. Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Intermediate Holdings Corp. (“SIHC”). The name of SIHC was changed on July 29, 2009 from Stanadyne Automotive Holding Corp. (“SAHC”). 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

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.

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 controlling share, while the remaining share 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.

Risks and Uncertainties. The Company’s 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, our reorganization activities, concerns about inflation, lower corporate profits and increased capital spending. Holdings incurred consolidated net losses in each of the last three years and negative cash flows from operations in the last two years. Stanadyne incurred a net loss in 2009 and 2011 and negative cash flows from operations in 2011. Holdings and Stanadyne are both highly leveraged with total short-term and long-term debt of $283.9 million and $183.9 million, respectively, outstanding at December 31, 2011. The indenture governing Stanadyne’s senior subordinated notes limits the amount of dividends that can be paid to an amount calculated under a Restricted Payments Basket (as defined by the terms of the indenture) (“RP Basket”). Holdings relies on dividends from SIHC which are received from Stanadyne to make semi-annual interest payments on its senior discount notes. Failure to make these interest payments would result in an event of default under the terms of the senior discount notes. Kohlberg has advised Holdings that it will provide financial assistance to Holdings, to the extent necessary, in meeting the semi-annual interest payments that will come due during the next twelve months. If necessary, Kohlberg will provide Holdings with an equity infusion of up to $6 million. The Company believes that with cash and cash equivalents on hand, availability under the U.S. Revolver, expected operating cash flow in 2012, and limited financial assistance from Kohlberg, if necessary, it has sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months to meet its obligations. However, the factors described above create potential uncertainty and management will continually monitor the Company’s revenues and operating cash flow against expectations. In the event the Company’s forecasts to generate sufficient operating cash flow are not realized, the Company may

need to reduce headcount, reduce other spending, reduce or delay capital investments and product development, incur more indebtedness, restructure existing indebtedness, or raise additional equity capital, or a combination of these items, which may have a further negative impact on its business, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, the Company’s current debt agreements limit its ability to incur additional indebtedness, so the ability to borrow additional money may be limited by the Company’s debt holders or by conditions in the credit markets.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revision of Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the preparation of the Holdings and Stanadyne consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, errors were identified related to the calculation of stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, for years prior to 2009. Holdings and Stanadyne determined that the stock-based compensation awards, for which expense was recorded in years prior to 2009, were not probable of vesting and therefore the expense should not have been recorded. Based on an analysis of qualitative and quantitative factors, management has concluded that, although these errors were not material to any historical period, correcting the cumulative impact of the errors in 2011 would have been material to the 2011 financial results. As a result, the affected balances as described below have been revised as adjustments to opening additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, accumulated deficit, total stockholder’s equity and total equity as of January 1, 2009, as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss). These adjustments have also been reflected in deferred income tax liabilities, due to Stanadyne Holdings, Inc., total liabilities, additional paid-in capital, total stockholder’s equity and total equity as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.

Impact of Revision on Holdings

The cumulative impact of this error on the Holdings consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2009 was an overstatement of accumulated deficit of $913, an overstatement of additional paid-in capital of $1,237 and an understatement of deferred income tax liabilities of $324. Total liabilities as of January 1, 2009 were accordingly understated by $324 and total stockholder’s equity and total equity were each overstated by $324.

Impact of Revision on Stanadyne

The cumulative impact of these errors on the Stanadyne consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2009 was an understatement of retained earnings of $913, an understatement of additional paid-in capital of $207, an understatement of deferred income tax liabilities of $324 and an overstatement of due to Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. of $1,444. Total liabilities as of January 1, 2009 were accordingly overstated by $1,120 and total stockholder’s equity and total equity were each understated by $1,120.

Out-of-Period Adjustment. The results for fiscal 2011 for each of Holdings and Stanadyne include a reduction to interest expense of $226 to correct for an overstatement of interest expense in 2010 as a result of over accruing for interest expense associated with debentures issued by SAPL. As a result of this error and the out-of-period adjustment to correct the error, interest expense is overstated by $226 in 2010 and is understated by $226 in 2011. Accordingly, in the case of Holdings net loss is overstated by $142 in 2010 and is understated by $142 in 2011, and in the case of Stanadyne net income is understated by $142 in 2010 and net loss is understated by $142 in 2011. We evaluated these errors in relation to the current fiscal year, which is when they were corrected, as well as the period in which they originated. Management believes these errors are immaterial to both the fiscal 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements.

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 valuation adjustments for excess or obsolescence, realization of goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities, workers’ compensation liabilities, stock compensation and determination of income tax balances including valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows. 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.

On occasion, the Company is required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to working capital financing arrangements at SCC. As of December 31, 2011, the amount of such restricted cash was $179. All restricted cash is included in current assets.

Accounts Receivables. All accounts receivable are reported on the balance sheet at outstanding principal amount adjusted for any doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained in amounts considered to be appropriate in relation to the accounts receivable outstanding based on collection experience, economic conditions and credit risk quality.

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, 2011 and 2010, inventories valued at LIFO represented $29.1 million and $25.6 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 was greater than the FIFO value through December 31, 2011. The LIFO inventory reserve value represents the amount necessary to state 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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets (including property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets) when events or circumstances warrant such a review. Goodwill and intangible assets with

indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter each year or more often if events or circumstances indicate a reduction in the fair value below the carrying value. Goodwill is allocated and reviewed for impairment by reporting unit. The goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. To test for goodwill impairment, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared with its fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill or long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset (see Note 6).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Disclosures of fair value information for certain assets and liabilities are required 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.

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. In addition, the Company occasionally enters into development contracts with certain customers and recognizes revenues on those contracts under the Milestone Method of revenue recognition, as defined in ASC 605. 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 $4,826, $3,002 and $1,625 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

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.

Sales Taxes. The Company collects and remits taxes assessed by different governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with revenue producing transactions between the Company and its customers. These taxes may include sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes. The Company reports the collection of these taxes on a net basis (excluded from revenues).

Research and Development. Research and development (“R&D”) costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $18,062, $15,167 and $13,171, respectively, of which $4,104, $1,891 and $457, respectively, were reimbursed by customers. Net R&D expenses of $13,957, $13,276 and $12,715 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. R&D expenses include engineering labor, prototype hardware, and other development costs.

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.

Depreciation and Amortization. Property and equipment and other intangible assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives generally using the straight-line method. Equipment on operating leases is depreciated over the term of the leases using the straight-line method. Property and equipment expenditures for new and revised products, increased capacity and the replacement or major renewal of significant items are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are generally charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the asset and liability method. Stanadyne is included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by Holdings. In accordance with its historical tax accounting policy, taxes for Stanadyne are recorded as if they had been calculated on a separate company basis. 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 assessed and recorded when realization of the deferred tax asset is not more likely than not. A valuation allowance is assessed for Stanadyne on the basis of its projected separate return results and is recorded when realization of deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.

Stock Options. The Company records stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation expense is calculated using a graded-vesting method 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.

Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currencies for the Company’s foreign operations are their respective local currencies. The assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the end of the period exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average rates for the period. The gains or losses from these translations are recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary involved are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Foreign currency transaction (losses) gains in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $(571), $(503) and $701, respectively.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(3) New Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurement. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” This ASU clarifies the concepts related to highest and best use and valuation premise, blockage factors and other premiums and discounts, the fair value measurement of financial instruments held in a portfolio and of those instruments classified as a component of shareowners’ equity. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the use of nonfinancial assets, and the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early application is prohibited. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

Comprehensive Income. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter 2012.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This ASU intends to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Previous guidance required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2011 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in 2012.

Balance Sheet. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” In an effort to improve comparison between financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRS, the ASU will require entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope of this ASU includes derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The guidance is effective retrospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis of the $136.7 million of goodwill in the Stanadyne Corporation reporting unit. The Company’s goodwill impairment testing analysis included projecting cash flows for the years 2012– 2016 and discounting those amounts based on appropriate market risks and other market factors. Based on those projections and other assumptions used in the analysis, the Company concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of net assets. As a result, there was no impairment of goodwill in 2011.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis of the $136.7 million of goodwill in the Stanadyne Corporation reporting unit. The Company’s goodwill impairment testing analysis included projecting cash flows for the years 2011– 2015 and discounting those amounts based on appropriate market risks and other market factors. Based on those projections and other assumptions used in the analysis, the Company concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of net assets. As a result, there was no impairment of goodwill in 2010.

The annual impairment test for 2009 was completed during the fourth quarter of 2009. This test relied on a discounted cash flow analysis of the operating cash flows reflected in our long term strategic plan for the years 2010-2014. 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. Stanadyne charged $6.5 million to operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of the annual impairment test which concluded that goodwill was impaired in the Stanadyne, SpA reporting unit.

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the Company, exclusive of the amortization of debt issuance costs, was $2,944, $3,160 and $3,249 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets is expected to be $2,816 in 2012, $2,816 in 2013, $2,202 in 2014, $1,093 in 2015 and $1,072 in 2016.

Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs is included as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for Holdings of $1,788, $1,695 and $8,791 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for Stanadyne of $1,527, $1,437 and $1,572 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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 $2.1 million fully amortized cost associated with the Term Loans. Additionally, approximately $1.2 million of debt issuance costs were capitalized in 2009 in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facility (see Note 11) which are being amortized over the four year term of that facility.

 

(8) Leases

The Company is obligated under certain non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $928, $671 and $689, respectively.

On August 13, 2009, Stanadyne (as borrower) and SIHC (as guarantor) entered into a revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC (“U.S. Revolver”). The U.S. Revolver provided for maximum borrowings of $30,000 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 maximum borrowings were initially increased to $35,000 in September 2011, and ultimately to $55,800 in December 2011, as noted below. The U.S. Revolver is comprised of a domestic inventory and accounts receivable facility, a

(dollars in thousands)

 

domestic fixed asset facility and a foreign accounts receivable sub-facility guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Revolver is at 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, which subsequently amended in March 2011 to a range of 1.25% to 1.75%, as noted below. All borrowings under the U.S. Revolver were initially due and payable on August 13, 2013, later changed to August 13, 2014, and ultimately changed to April 30, 2014. The U.S. Revolver is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant test if availability is less than $4,000 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 of year end.

On August 31, 2010, Stanadyne, SIHC, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC) entered into a new Export-Import Bank of the United States Working Capital Guarantee Borrower Agreement (“Sub-facility”) that increased the maximum borrowings related to foreign accounts receivable under the Sub-facility from $7,500 to $9,000 and synchronized the expiration date of the Sub-facility with the credit agreement so that both agreements were to expire on August 13, 2013. Stanadyne, SIHC, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC entered into an amendment to the U.S. Revolver to reflect such changes. All other terms of the U.S Revolver (including total credit availability) and the new Sub-facility were materially unchanged from the prior agreements.

On March 25, 2011, Stanadyne, SIHC, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC amended the terms of the U.S. Revolver. The amended terms reduced the applicable margin by 2.50% for Base Rate borrowing and 1.50% for LIBOR based borrowings, increased the amount of eligible collateral for accounts receivable and inventory, increased the domestic fixed asset sub-facility to $6,000, increased the size of the EXIM Sub-facility from $9,000 to $10,000, and extended the term of the credit agreement (but not the EXIM Sub-facility) to August 13, 2014. All other terms of the U.S Revolver (including total credit availability) and the EXIM Sub-facility are materially unchanged from the prior agreements.

On September 26, 2011, Stanadyne, SIHC, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC amended the terms of the U.S. Revolver. The amended terms increased the maximum borrowings from $30,000 to $35,000 by increasing the size of the EXIM sub-facility guaranteed by the Export Import Bank from $10,000 to $15,000. This amendment also clarified the definition of “Borrowing Base” as it relates to an “Inventory Block” or reserve against inventory that Wells Fargo may initiate against the Borrowing Base so that such reserve would not exceed $1,500. All other terms of the credit agreements were materially unchanged from the prior agreements, including the term of the Credit Agreement that expires August 13, 2014, with the EXIM guaranteed portion expiring August 13, 2013.

On December 16, 2011, Stanadyne and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC amended the terms of the U.S. Revolver as well as the terms of the EXIM Sub-facility. The U.S. Revolver amendment increased the maximum borrowings from $35,000 to $55,800 by adding a Maximum Guaranteed Revolver Amount (“Guaranteed Facility”) as defined by the Credit Agreement of $20,800. The investment funds (and certain of their investors) which are managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. that are the primary equity holders of Holdings are the guarantors of the Guaranteed Facility. Borrowing under the Guaranteed Facility is limited to $500 increments, with a minimum of $2,500. The amendment also established interest rates for the Guaranteed Facility and detailed the order in which payments are applied to outstanding balances under the various credit facilities. Lastly, the expiration of the U.S Revolver changed to April 30, 2014 from August 13, 2014. The purpose of the amendment to the EXIM Sub- facility was to incorporate the above noted changes. All other terms of the credit agreements were materially unchanged from the prior agreements.

On March 28, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo amended the U.S. Revolver to allow the Company to permanently reduce the amount of available credit under the Guaranteed Facility, in increments of $1.0 million, with a 10 day notice. Such actions would be taken at the direction of Kohlberg in the event equity infusions are made to Holdings.

In connection with the prior amendments to the credit agreements reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 26, 2011 and filed September 28, 2011, on December 16, 2011, Stanadyne also entered into a new Export-Import Bank of the United States Working Capital Guarantee Program Borrower Agreement (the “New EXIM Agreement”) to reflect the changes of previous amendments to the credit agreements, including an increase in the “Maximum Revolver Amount” under the EXIM Guarantied Credit Agreement that is guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank from $10 million to $15 million. Except to reflect such changes, the New EXIM Agreement is materially unchanged from the prior agreement, including the expiration date of August 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2011, Stanadyne had a total borrowing availability of $38,222 against the total maximum limit of the $55,800 U.S. Revolver of which $4,520 was used for standby letters of credit. Stanadyne also pays a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the foreign accounts receivable sublimit and on the unused portion of the balance of the U.S. Revolver.

In 2010, SAPL received $1,600 of cash proceeds from the issuance of debentures (the “Debentures”) to our non-controlling interest partners. The Debentures pay 11.00% interest annually. While the Debentures are not redeemable for cash and are compulsorily convertible to shares of common equity in SAPL in 2020, the holders have the option to convert the Debentures to equity after 2015. Upon voluntary conversion, the resulting shares of common equity in SAPL would be subject to the put option described in Note 18. The proceeds of the Debentures were used to partially fund the acquisition of equipment and working capital to support the expansion of manufacturing operations in SAPL. The Company has allocated the proceeds received from the Debentures between the underlying instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability. The unamortized debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the expiration date of the put option. The conversion feature, which is considered an embedded derivative instrument, has been recorded at its fair value, as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying Debenture value. The conversion feature amounted to $427 and $306 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in other income in the statement of operations. The (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(121) and $56, respectively.

Stanadyne had $160,000 of Notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 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. 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.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s current and long-term borrowings at SAPL was 12.6% and 10.5%, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings at SpA was 4.4% and 5.1%, respectively.

The fair values of the Company’s short-term borrowings approximated their recorded values at December 31, 2011 and 2010 based on similar borrowing agreements offered by other major institutional banks. The fair value of the Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $135,400 and $161,600, respectively. The fair value of Holdings’ Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $93,000 and $94,125, respectively.

(12) Pensions

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covered substantially all of the domestic hourly and salaried employees until the Pension Plan was frozen on March 31, 2007. Any employee hired after that date is not covered under the Pension Plan. 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. Pension 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 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 Pension Plan if certain Code limitations did not apply to 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 or less, a lump sum. The SERP expense was $437, $400 and $307 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended 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 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.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and funded status of the Pension Plan and the SERP in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

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, 2011 and 2010 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. Based on the asset allocation percentages in the Company’s current investment policy, the plan trustee’s January 2012 investment return model produced a range of expected investment returns over the next 20 years of 6.7% to 11.2%. Based on 1,000 investment return simulations produced by the model, it is anticipated that the allocation, 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 6.7% seventy-five percent of the time while returns of 11.2% or greater would be anticipated twenty-five percent of the time. The expected return (50th percentile or median) is 8.9% with a standard deviation of 15.1.

Therefore, the “best-estimate” range, based on this model, is 6.7% to 11.2%. Based on the foregoing considerations, and historical performance of the fund assets since 1988, the Company believes that an expected return assumption of 8.0% per annum is reasonable.

Minimum required contributions for the calendar years 2011 and 2010 were $6.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The Company expects the minimum required contribution to the Pension Plan in 2012 will be approximately $7.0 million.

Asset management objectives include maintaining a level of diversification, to reduce interest rate and market risk, and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. The Company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of 69% growth seeking assets and 31% in income generating assets 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 income securities. Our actual Pension Plan asset allocations by level within the fair value hierarchy are presented as of December 31, 2011. 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 in 2010 represent a fund of hedge funds. The initial investment was made on August 31, 2009. The fund allowed withdrawals after the first year but subject to a 65 day notification and were only permitted on the last business day of the calendar quarter. Assets were valued based on our assessment of the fair value as presented by SEI Corporation (“SEI”) our investment adviser, fund performance committee which requires judgment and may affect the valuation.

During 2011, the Company liquidated this investment and reallocated the funds across its fixed income asset category. The shift in asset category still supports the Company’s expected return assumption of 8.0%.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, Holdings had valuation allowances of $26,783 and $1,432, respectively, for federal and state tax benefits that will not be realized. Holdings established the full valuation allowance at the end of 2011 as it determined that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would not be realized. Factors considered by Holdings in this determination included losses incurred in recent periods. In addition, Holdings and Stanadyne recorded a valuation allowance of $3,050 and $4,461 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to SAPL, SpA and SCC. 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.

All of the unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate. A liability of $538 and $475 was recorded at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Income tax expense for potential penalties and interest of $63, $36 and $30 was recorded during 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 2006. The Internal Revenue Service has commenced an examination of the 2009 U.S. federal income tax return. The future outcome of this examination may result in additional income tax expense or future payments of additional taxes.

 

(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 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. In May 2009, the company temporarily suspended its matching plan contribution due to the depressed economic conditions. Effective July 2010, the matching contributions were partially reinstated at 50% of employee pre-tax contributions on the first 1% of compensation and 25% of employee pre-tax contributions on the next 5% of compensation for an effective Company contribution rate of 1.75% based on a 6% employee contribution rate. In January 2011, the plan was further amended to restore contributions to the April 2007 levels. The Company made matching contributions of $1,141, $294 and $541 during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(16) Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2011, one former employee exercised stock options to purchase 37,500 shares of Holdings’ common stock at $0.47 per share for $18. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no stock options exercised. During 2010 and 2009 a total 200,000 and 212,500 shares, respectively, were purchased by the Company for $94 and $223, respectively, and are held as treasury stock. There were no shares purchased by the Company during 2011.

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 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 1,078,670 available for future grants as of December 31, 2011.

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, probability that financial targets will be met, 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
2011
    Year Ended
December 31,
2010
    Year Ended
December 31,
2009
 

Risk-free interest rate

     3.82     3.20     3.40

Expected dividend yield

     0.00     0.00     0.00

Expected volatility

     65     65     33

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. 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.

(18) Redeemable Non-controlling Interest

The Company funded expansion of manufacturing operations in SAPL through a combination of new debt and equity issuances which were completed during 2010. SAPL issued additional common shares to Stanadyne and the non-controlling interest partners for net proceeds of $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As a result of this additional investment in SAPL, Stanadyne’s controlling share increased from 51.0% to 64.9%.

In March 2010, the Company entered into a put arrangement as part of an amendment to the SAPL Joint Venture Agreement with respect to the common securities that represent the 35.1% non-controlling interest. The non-controlling partners have an option to put their ownership interests to Stanadyne during a 90-day period beginning March 1, 2015. Due to the put option, the non-controlling interest is redeemable and does not qualify as permanent equity. As a result, this redeemable non-controlling interest is recorded in the mezzanine section of our consolidated balance sheets and is reported at estimated redemption value. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the redemption value was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Changes in the redemption value are charged to retained earnings if available or to additional paid in capital. The recognition of the redemption value of this redeemable non-controlling interest was affected through an increase to redeemable non-controlling interests and a charge to additional paid-in capital.

 

(19) Related Party Transactions

During each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred management fees of $750 payable to Kohlberg & Company L.L.C. for management services provided. These charges are included in selling, general, administrative and other operating expenses.

On December 16, 2011, Stanadyne and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC amended the terms of the U.S. Revolver as well as the terms of the EXIM Sub-facility. The U.S. Revolver amendment increased the maximum borrowings from $35,000 to $55,800 by adding a Maximum Guaranteed Revolver Amount

(“Guaranteed Facility”) as defined by the Credit Agreement of $20,800. The investment funds (and certain of their investors) which are managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. that are the primary equity holders of Holdings are the guarantors of the Guaranteed Facility.

The indenture governing Stanadyne’s senior subordinated notes limits the amount of dividends that can be paid to an amount calculated under a Restricted Payments Basket (as defined by the terms of the indenture) (“RP Basket”). Holdings relies on dividends from SIHC which are received from Stanadyne to make semi-annual interest payments on its senior discount notes. Failure to make these interest payments would result in an event of default under the terms of the senior discount notes. Kohlberg has advised Holdings that it will provide financial assistance to Holdings, to the extent necessary, in meeting the semi-annual interest payments that will come due during the next twelve months. If necessary, Kohlberg will provide Holdings with an equity infusion of up to $6 million.

Accounts receivable balances with Deere and its affiliates were $8,233, $8,801 and $7,205 at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

(21) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, fair value should be the exit price, or price received to sell the asset or liability as opposed to the entry price, or price paid to acquire an asset or assume a liability.

The following is a hierarchy used for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three categories:

(1) Level 1 inputs, which are considered the most reliable, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

(2) Level 2 inputs are those that are observable in the market place, either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

(3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable due to unavailability and as such the entity’s own assumptions are used.

As described in Note 11, the SAPL debenture embedded conversion option is considered a derivative and is recorded at its fair value. The value of the option is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation approach, which takes into account certain assumptions which include the discount yield, volatility and risk free rate, among others.

An unrealized (loss) gain, which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations amounting to $(121) and $56 was the only activity for Level 3 liabilities at December 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

(22) 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, $799 and $834, with respect to these matters at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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:

(23) Segments

(26) 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 by expanding its operations in the existing North Carolina locations and transferring manufacturing operations from the Company’s Windsor, Connecticut location. Reorganization costs were primarily for relocation of equipment and staffing to manage the project and were reflected as components of selling, general and administrative expenses within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Hourly and salaried employees of the Windsor, Connecticut workforce that were displaced by this consolidation received compensation, based on years of service and skill level, if they remained employed until their positions were eliminated. The Company also identified certain assets in Windsor, Connecticut that would no longer be used following the completion of the reorganization activity and had accelerated depreciation of these assets to their estimated net realizable value over their revised estimated useful life. The accelerated depreciation was charged to cost of goods sold and selling, general, administrative and other operating expenses within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Holdings

As of December 31, 2011, 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 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 the identification of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Holdings have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, Holdings’ disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

In light of the material weakness described below, Holdings performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that Holdings’ consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and accurately reflect the results for December 31, 2011. As a result, notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects Holdings’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Stanadyne

As of December 31, 2011, 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 Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Stanadyne, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Stanadyne have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, Stanadyne’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

In light of the material weakness described below, Stanadyne performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that Stanadyne’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and accurately reflect the results for December 31, 2011. As a result, notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects Stanadyne’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(b) 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 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 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, 2011. 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 (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.

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.

Holdings did not maintain effective controls to ensure completeness, existence, valuation and appropriate presentation and disclosure over certain accounts described below which led to (i) 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, (ii) the revision to its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, (iii) the revision to its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and (iv) the revision to its consolidated financial statements to correct errors arising in years prior to 2009, as described in Note 2 in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as further described below.

 

   

Management has concluded that (a) Holdings 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) Holdings 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, selling general and administrative costs, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income taxes as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, and inventories, pension liabilities, deferred debt origination costs, additional paid-in

capital, certain components of other comprehensive income, goodwill and deferred income taxes as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, as well as an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010. 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.

Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011.

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, 2011. 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 (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.

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, selling general and administrative costs, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income taxes as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, and inventories, pension liabilities, deferred debt origination costs, due to Stanadyne Holdings, Inc., additional paid-in capital, certain components of other comprehensive income, goodwill and deferred income taxes as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, as well as an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010. 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.

Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011.

(c) Changes in internal control

Holdings and Stanadyne

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011 there were changes in internal control over financial reporting designed to address the material weakness described above and to enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

   

Holdings and Stanadyne remediated the material weakness related to preparation and review of account activities for capital expenditures in its SAPL subsidiary as discussed below.

 

   

We filled our 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. This position was vacant for a portion of the year in 2011, during which time we filled the position in a temporary capacity 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.

(d) Remediation

Holdings and Stanadyne

On June 21, 2010, we filed our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K which included restated financial statements as of January 1, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflecting the correction of the errors noted above. On August 13, 2010 we filed our amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. On August 26, 2010, we concurrently filed our amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The amendments to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A were filed to restate our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related information for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 as well as for the corresponding 2008 quarterly periods.

We revised the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2010 and for the three months then ended within our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended June 30, 2010 in Note 12 in Part I, Item 1 for the SAPL errors in accounting for capital expenditures.

We revised the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations as of March 31, 2011 and for the three month period then ended within our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended June 30, 2011 for the pension expense errors described in Note 14 in Part I, Item 1 of such Quarterly Report.

We revised the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, described in Note 2 in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Remediation of Material Weakness Related to SAPL Capital Expenditures

As previously disclosed in Holdings’ and Stanadyne’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, Holdings and Stanadyne reported a material weakness in internal controls related to capital expenditures at Stanadyne’s subsidiary, SAPL. SAPL did not maintain effective internal controls over the preparation and review of account activities related to capital expenditures, and Stanadyne and Holdings did not maintain effective internal controls over the monitoring of capital expenditures activity at SAPL. Collectively, these factors resulted in errors impacting the recorded values for construction in progress (a component of property, plant and equipment) and accounts payable as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, as well as net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows, as well as an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010. At that time, these control deficiencies could have resulted in a material misstatement of the accounts for SAPL that would have resulted in a material misstatement of Holdings’ and Stanadyne’s consolidated financial statements that would not have been prevented or detected.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, management designed and implemented remediation measures described below to address the SAPL-related material weakness and enhance our internal control over financial reporting. During the third and fourth quarters of 2011, management continued to monitor and evaluate these remediation measures that have been implemented to address this material weakness. Remediation measures included the following:

 

   

The accounting department at SAPL developed more detailed procedures and processes concerning the preparation and review of account activities related to capital expenditures.

 

   

We enacted more stringent thresholds for management review of the entries and reconciliations for SAPL capital expenditures.

 

   

We implemented a third party staffing model utilizing a local public accounting firm at SAPL to assist in the local preparation of account reconciliations as well as the proper recording and disclosure of transactions in compliance with U.S. GAAP.

The remediation measures described above have strengthened Holdings’ and Stanadyne’s internal control over financial reporting and a sufficient period of time has passed to demonstrate that their effectiveness is sustainable. As a result, management concluded that this material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2011.

Other Remediation Activities

Management believes that the changes in internal control described above in addition to other planned changes will strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will eventually remediate the identified remaining material weakness. As efforts continue to evaluate and enhance internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures must be taken to address these control deficiencies or may determine that it needs to modify or otherwise adjust the remediation measures described below.

Additional planned improvements include:

 

   

We will evaluate existing staff members relative to their knowledge of U.S. GAAP and non-routine accounting issues, and as a result make changes to ensure those in positions of review and oversight have the knowledge, experience and training necessary to perform such review.

 

   

We will increase staffing levels in our corporate finance group to provide for additional monitoring controls over significant non-routine and technical accounting matters.

 

   

We will continue to implement financial reporting controls to address changing or new business processes as our business evolves and will update accounting policies for new business developments and accounting pronouncements.

 

   

We will continue to expand and modify our financial reporting 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.

Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful remediation of this material weakness will require review and evidence of effectiveness prior to management concluding that the controls are now effective. Some of the enhancements that have been implemented by management since the fourth quarter of 2010 and during 2011 have not been in place for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that their effectiveness is sustainable. Therefore, additional time is required to validate that the material weakness is fully remediated.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following table sets forth the name, age and position as of December 31, 2011 of each person who is a member of the Board of Directors or an executive officer of each of Holdings and Stanadyne. Holdings, Kohlberg and other stockholders of Holdings are parties to that certain KSTA Holdings Stockholders Agreement, dated August 6, 2004 (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which such persons have 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 $250,000 in annual salary in 2011, $237,500 in annual salary in 2010 and $218,950 in 2009, in addition to earning a bonus amount of $118,750 in 2010. There were no bonus amounts earned in 2009 and 2011. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Stanadyne’s compensation program consists of base salary, stock options and other incentive and retirement programs, and 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and 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.

Additional explanation of each element of Stanadyne’s compensation program 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 can provide opportunity 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 our Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”), which includes all U.S.-based hourly and salaried employees, as well as select members of management in our international subsidiaries.

The EIP establishes annual goals for EBITDA. Each employee is assigned a Participation Factor expressed in terms of a percentage of the employee’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 employee by multiplying the annual base salary or wages by the individual Participation Factor, multiplied by a Payout Factor. The Payout Factor ranges between 37.5% and 125% and is based on the level of EBITDA generated for the year relative to the EBITDA goal for the same period.

In keeping with our philosophy of reward for performance, EBITDA that is less than 90% of the EBITDA goal results in a Payout Factor of zero, and no performance bonus amounts are earned. The EIP in 2011 was structured to provide a Payout Factor of 75% for achieving at least 90% of the EBITDA goal and increased by 2.5% for each 1% increase in the EBITDA goal, up to 100%. The Payout Factor increased by an additional 1% for each 1% increase in EBITDA above the annual goal, up to a maximum of 125%.

 

53


Table of Contents

There was no EIP earned by the Named Executive Officers in 2011 because the actual EBITDA was less than 90% of the EBITDA goal.

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. He was awarded an additional 750,000 stock options in 2010. Mr. Langin was awarded an additional 300,000 stock options in 2010 which are in addition to the 1,000,000 options he was awarded in 2004. In 2010, 2008 and 2006, Mr. Vorih was awarded 500,000, 150,000 and 250,000 stock options, respectively. Mr. Pinson was awarded 325,000 stock options in 2009 and an additional 275,000 stock options in 2010. In 2011, Mr. May was hired as the Company’s Vice President, Global Supply Chain 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 subsequent years, no additional options have vested to date.

There were no stock options exercised by the Named Executive Officers during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

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.

 

54


Table of Contents
   

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.

 

   

Medical Reimbursement Plan – 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 paid $800 as a monthly allowance for transportation.

 

   

Life Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for term life or variable annuity life insurance policies with a death benefit equal to two times average annual compensation for all of the Named Executive Officers, if they so choose this benefit.

 

   

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. One Named Executive Officer is reimbursed for the annual policy premium for a $3 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.

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 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 September 2009, 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 2010, as business conditions improved from the recessionary levels of the prior year, Mr. Jones recommended to the Compensation Committee that, effective March 2010, the base salaries for the Named Executive Officers be increased by one-half of the reductions that had been implemented in 2009. Mr. Jones made a similar recommendation to increase base salaries by the remainder of the 2009 salary reductions effective July, 2010. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved both of the recommendations as well as increasing Mr. Jones’ base salary by the amount it had been reduced in 2009.

In 2011, Mr. Jones recommended that the Company employ Edward May as Vice President, Global Supply Chain to fill the vacancy left by Waqas Sherwani who left the Company in May, 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Mr. Jones also provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases of $25,000 each for Mr. Pinson and Mr. Vorih 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.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

All members of the Compensation Committee during 2011 were independent directors, and no member was an employee or former employee. No Compensation Committee member had any relationship requiring disclosure under the section titled “Certain Relationships Related Transactions and Director Independence” in this Form 10-K. During 2011, none of our executive officers served on the Compensation Committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on our Compensation Committee.

In 2011, M. David Jones served as President of Holdings, and Stephen S. Langin served as Chief Financial Officer of Holdings. Neither Mr. Jones nor Mr. Langin received any compensation from Holdings for serving in those positions. The compensation of executive officers of Stanadyne is determined by the Compensation Committee of Stanadyne and, with respect to the grant of any stock options of Holdings, by the Compensation Committee of Holdings. The following table sets forth information concerning the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers of Stanadyne (the “Named Executive Officers”) for services rendered in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009.

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, 2009, 2010 or 2011 and consequently no additional vesting has taken place.

No options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers in 2011.

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 4.75% for the qualified Pension Plan and 4.25% 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.

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).

Table of Contents

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 2011, $245,000 for 2010 and $245,000 for 2009 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.

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. As business levels improved, one-half of the company matching contributions were restored in July, 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company resumed making full matching contributions.

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 2011 at a base salary of $535,000, which was reduced to $468,125 and $498,219 in 2009 and 2010, respectively, as part of the Company-wide cost reduction actions taken in response to the global recession. Mr. Jones also received 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 2011, these amounts would equal $802,500 and $15,747, 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 AND 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.

Guaranty of Credit Facility

On December 16, 2011, Stanadyne and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC amended the terms of the U.S. Revolver as well as the terms of the EXIM Sub-facility. The U.S. Revolver amendment increased the maximum borrowings from $35,000 to $55,800 by adding a Maximum Guaranteed Revolver Amount (“Guaranteed Facility”) as defined by the Credit Agreement of $20,800. The investment funds (and certain of their investors) which are managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. that are the primary equity holders of Holdings are the guarantors of the Guaranteed Facility.

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. 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 Committees are 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.
