NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
September 30, 2006
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)
 
NOTE A — Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
NOTE B — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) was issued on December 16, 2004 and is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB Opinion No. 25”) and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of fair value recognition provisions for stock options is expected to increase the Company’s fiscal 2006 compensation expense by approximately $300 (before tax).
 
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current accounting guidance. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior years was zero because the Company did not owe federal income taxes due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided.
 
Additional information regarding our share-based compensation program is provided in Note G.
 
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” The statement changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle and is applicable to all voluntary changes in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — (Continued)

accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if that pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. The statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless it is impractical to determine the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The correction of an error by the restatement of previously issued financial statements is also addressed by the statement. The Company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2006 as prescribed and its adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a “more likely than not” threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. This interpretation is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on our financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS No. 158”), which requires the Company to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in the balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires the Company to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year end. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and the related disclosure requirements are effective for the Company in 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations is effective for the Company in 2008. The Company currently uses December 31 to measure the funded status of its plans. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE C — Acquisitions
 
In January 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Foundry Service GmbH (“Foundry Service”) for approximately $3,219, which resulted in additional goodwill of $2,313. The acquisition was funded with borrowings from foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The acquisition was not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X.

On December 23, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Lectrotherm, Inc. (“Lectrotherm”) for $5,125 in cash.

The purchase price and the results of operations of Lectrotherm prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been performed based on the assignments of fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The purchase price and the results of operations of PPG prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X. The results of operations for PPG have been included in the Company’s financial statements since July 20, 2005. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

NOTE G — Stock-Based Compensation
 
Under the provisions of the Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“1998 Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, performance shares or stock awards may be awarded to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Stock options will be exercisable in whole or in installments as may be determined, provided that no options will be exercisable more than ten years from date of grant. The exercise price will be the fair market value at the date of grant. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the 1998 Plan is 2,650,000, all of which may be incentive stock options. No more than 500,000 shares shall be the subject of awards to any individual participant in any one calendar year.
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company had elected to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized. Compensation expense resulting from fixed awards of restricted shares was measured at the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period.

An alternative method of accounting for stock-based compensation, allowed before January 1, 2006, was the fair value method defined by SFAS No. 123. Had compensation cost for stock options granted been determined based on the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 would have been as follows:
 
                 
    Three Months
    Nine Months
 
    Ended

    September 30,

    2005     2005

  $ 5,152     $ 18,851

    (37 )     (72 )
                 
Pro forma net income
  $ 5,115     $ 18,779  
                 
Earnings per share:
               
Basic — as reported
  $ 0.47     $ 1.73  
Basic — pro forma
  $ 0.47     $ 1.72  
Diluted — as reported
  $ 0.45     $ 1.66  
Diluted — pro forma
  $ 0.45     $ 1.65  
 
The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted in the first nine months of 2006. There were 65,000 options granted in the first nine months of 2005. The following weighted average assumptions were used for options granted in fiscal year 2005:
 
         
Fiscal Year Ended December 31
  2005  
 
Risk — free interest rate
    4.15 %
Expected life of option in years
    6.0  
Expected dividend yield
    0 %
Expected stock volatility
    55 %
 
The weighted average fair market value of options issued during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was estimated to be $8.20.

In 2006, before-tax share-based compensation expense is expected to total $1,107 and, net of taxes, is expected to approximate $664 for stock option awards and restricted stock. The total unrecognized share-based compensation expense before tax for awards outstanding as of September 30, 2006 was $4,982, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 years.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards be classified as financing cash flows. The Company had no gross excess tax benefits in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

NOTE K — Restructuring Activities
 
The Company has responded to the economic downturn by reducing costs in a variety of ways, including restructuring businesses and selling non-core manufacturing assets. These activities generated restructuring and asset impairment charges in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005, as the Company’s restructuring efforts continued and evolved. For further details on the restructuring activities, see Note O to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
The accrued liability balance for severance and exit costs and related cash payments during the first nine months of 2006 consisted of:

the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 5, 2003, which, among other things, increases the availability under the credit facility from $200,000 to $230,000.
 
NOTE N — Income Taxes
 
In 2006, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes resulting in a total effective income tax rate of approximately 37%, compared to 11% for 2005. Only foreign and state income taxes were provided for in 2005 because federal income taxes were offset by net operating loss carryforwards that were not recognized previously. At December 31, 2005, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41,000, which should preclude the cash payment of federal income taxes in 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006, if a portion or all of its remaining deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, the Company will reverse into income the appropriate portion of its remaining tax valuation allowance of approximately $5,000.
 
NOTE O — Derivatives and Hedging
 
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company has no derivative instruments that are classified as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are classified as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged items are recognized in net income.
 
During the first nine months of 2006, the Company entered into forward contracts for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable, primarily euros against the U.S. dollar, for a notional amount of $1,000, of which $434 was outstanding at September 30, 2006. These transactions are considered cash flow hedges. The fair market value of these transactions at September 30, 2006 was approximately $438 and therefore, $4 has been recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Because there is no ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedges, all changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in equity and not included in the current period’s income statement.
 
NOTE P — Subsequent Event
 
On October 18, 2006, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of NABS, Inc. (“NABS”) for $21 million in cash. NABS is an international supply chain manager of production components providing services to high technology companies in the computer, electronics and consumer products industries. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based upon our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated March 13, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial information for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 is not directly comparable to the financial information for the same periods in 2005 primarily due to acquisitions.
 
Executive Overview
 
We are an industrial supply chain logistics and diversified manufacturing business, operating in three segments: ILS, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. ILS provides customers with integrated supply chain management services for a broad range of high-volume, specialty production components. ILS customers receive various value-added services, such as engineering and design services, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking, just-in-time and point-of use delivery, electronic billing and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of ILS are in the heavy-duty truck, automotive and vehicle parts, electrical distribution and controls, power sports/fitness equipment, HVAC, aerospace and defense, electrical components, appliance and semiconductor equipment industries.

Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly.
 
Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, injection molded rubber components, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs, sub-assemblers and end users in the steel, coatings, forging, foundry, heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, bottling, automotive, oil and gas, rail and locomotive manufacturing and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note I to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Sales grew substantially in the first nine months of 2006. Net sales increased to $785.8 million, an increase of 14%, compared to the first nine months of 2005. Pre-tax income grew slightly to $21.3 million. Sales and profitability growth were reduced in the third quarter of 2006 in all three segments (particularly Aluminum Products) by automobile and light truck market cutbacks, which are expected to continue in the fourth quarter. We recorded income tax expense of $7.9 million in the first nine months of 2006, an effective income tax rate of 37%, compared to $2.3 million, or an effective income tax rate of 11% in the first nine months of 2005. No federal income taxes were expensed in 2005 due to our deferred tax valuation allowance, of which a portion was reversed at the end of 2005. This resulted in net income of $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2006, compared to $18.9 million in the same period of 2005.
 
We recently made two acquisitions to build on the success of our Integrated Logistics Solutions long-term supply chain management business. We acquired all of the capital stock of NABS for $21.0 million in cash funded with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, in October 2006. NABS is a premier international supply chain manager of production components, providing services to high technology companies in the computer, electronics, and consumer products industries. NABS has 14 international operations in China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Ireland, Hungary, Scotland and Mexico plus five locations in the United States. In July 2005, we acquired substantially all the assets of PPG, a provider of supply chain management services for a broad range of production components, for $7.0 million in cash funded with borrowings from our revolving credit facility, $1.3 million in the form of a short-term note payable and the assumption of approximately $12.8 million of trade liabilities. This acquisition added significantly to the customer and supplier bases, and expanded the geographic presence of, our ILS segment. ILS has already eliminated substantial overhead cost and begun the process of consolidating redundant PPG service centers.

Building on the success of our induction heating and melting systems business, in December 2005, we acquired the assets of Lectrotherm, in Canton, Ohio, for $5.1 million in cash, and in January 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of Foundry Service, in Germany, for $3.2 million in cash. These induction acquisitions augmented our existing, high-margin aftermarket induction business, and increased our presence, revenues and profits in Germany, an important capital equipment market. We funded these induction acquisitions with borrowings from our revolving credit facilities and funds from foreign subsidiaries.
 
Accounting Changes
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, we recognized $.2 million of compensation costs (before tax) in the first nine months of 2006 related to all share-based awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remained unvested on that date. We will continue to recognize such expenses in future periods as long as existing awards continue in existence and unvested. We expect these existing awards to increase our fiscal 2006 compensation expense by approximately $.3 million (before tax). As additional share-based payments are awarded in the future, we will also recognize compensation cost for these awards. Additional information regarding our share-based compensation is provided in Notes B and G to the consolidated financial statements.

Net sales increased by 14% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. ILS sales increased 14% primarily due to the July 20, 2005 acquisition of PPG, general economic growth, particularly as a result of significant growth in the heavy-duty truck industry, the addition of new customers and increases in product range to existing customers. Aluminum Products sales decreased 2% in the first nine months of 2006, primarily due to contraction of automobile and light truck production in North America. Manufactured Products sales increased 23% primarily in the induction, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses. Of this increase, $17.2 million was due to the acquisitions of Lectrotherm and Foundry Service by the induction business in December 2005 and January 2006, respectively.

Manufactured Products segment decreased primarily as a result of operational and pricing issues in the Company’s rubber products business, and changes in contract mix and timing in the induction and pipe threading equipment businesses. Quarter-to-quarter, gross margins vary widely in Manufactured Products, and these timing issues are not expected to depress full-year 2006 gross margin significantly for the Manufactured Products segment compared to prior years.

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased 2% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, representing a one percentage point reduction in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses increased approximately $3.3 million due to the acquisitions of PPG and Lectrotherm in 2005 and Foundry Service in January 2006. SG&A expenses were increased in the first nine months 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 by a $.6 million decrease in net pension credits, reflecting reduced returns on pension plan assets. These increases in SG&A expenses from acquisitions and reduced pension credits were partially offset by cost reductions.

Interest expense increased $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to higher average interest rates and average outstanding borrowings during 2006. The increase in average borrowings in 2006 resulted primarily from higher working capital requirements and the purchases of PPG, Lectrotherm and Foundry Service in July and December 2005 and January 2006, respectively. The higher average borrowing rate in 2006 was due primarily to increased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to 2005, in which rates increased primarily as a result of actions by the Federal Reserve.
 
Income Tax:
 
The provision for income taxes was $7.9 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, a 37% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $2.3 million provided in the corresponding period of 2005, an 11% effective income tax rate. In 2005, these taxes consisted primarily of state and foreign taxes on profitable operations. Taxes in the first nine months of 2006 included such state and foreign taxes, but also included federal income taxes. This change resulted from the fourth-quarter 2005 reversal of a portion of our domestic deferred tax valuation allowance.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company reversed $7.3 million of its $12.3 million year-end 2005 domestic deferred tax valuation allowance. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that this portion of the deferred tax asset would be realized. In 2006, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes. Our significant net operating loss carry forwards should preclude the payment of cash federal income taxes in 2006 and 2007, and possibly beyond. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company will reassess the remaining tax valuation allowance. If it is determined that a portion or all of the remaining deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, then the appropriate portion of its remaining tax valuation allowance will be reversed into income at that time, which could increase 2006 net income by as much as $5.0 million.

Interest expense increased $.9 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to higher average interest rates and average outstanding borrowings during 2005. The increase in average borrowings in 2005 resulted primarily from higher working capital requirements and the purchases of PPG, Lectrotherm and Foundry Service in July and December 2005 and January 2006, respectively. The higher average borrowing rate in 2006 was due primarily to increased interest rates under our revolving credit facility compared to 2005, in which rates increased primarily as a result of actions by the Federal Reserve.
 
Income Tax:
 
The provision for income taxes was $2.0 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, a 35% effective income tax rate, compared to income taxes of $0.8 million provided in the corresponding period of 2005, an effective 14% income tax rate. In 2005 these taxes consisted primarily of state and foreign taxes on profitable operations. Taxes in the third quarter of 2006 included such state and foreign taxes, but also included federal income taxes. This change resulted from the fourth-quarter 2005 reversal of a portion of our domestic deferred tax valuation allowance.
 
In fourth quarter 2005, the Company reversed $7.3 million of its $12.3 million year-end 2005 domestic deferred tax valuation allowance. Based on strong recent and projected earnings, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that this portion of the deferred tax asset would be realized. In 2006, the Company began recording a quarterly provision for federal income taxes.

At December 31, 2005, our subsidiaries had $41.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes.
 
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
 
Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. On July 30, 2003, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a group of banks that provided for availability of up to $165.0 million, subject to an asset-based formula. In September 2004, December 2004, June 2006 and October 2006, we amended our revolving credit facility to progressively increase the availability up to $230.0 million, subject to the same asset-based formula. The December 2004 amendment also extended the maturity from July 30, 2007 to December 31, 2010, while in May 2006 the revolving credit facility was amended to reduce the pricing applicable to LIBOR-based interest rates by 50 basis points effective as of April 1,

2006. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at the Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus .75% to 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Under the revolving credit facility, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $152.7 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $48.3 million of unused borrowing availability.
 
Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements. The future availability of borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based on the Company’s ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the debt service ratio could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings.
 
At September 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the debt service ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the revolving credit facility.
 
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.13 at September 30, 2006 versus 2.12 at December 31, 2005. Working capital increased by $36.7 million to $244.8 million at September 30, 2006 from $208.1 million at December 31, 2005. Major components of working capital, including accounts receivable, inventories, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, increased substantially during the first nine months of 2006 due primarily to significant revenue growth and the acquisition of Foundry Services.
 
During the first nine months of 2006, the Company used $12.5 million from operating activities compared to generating $3.9 million in the same period of 2005. The increase in operating cash usage of $16.4 million was primarily the result of a greater increase in accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 ($68.7 million compared to $18.5 million), more than offsetting the operating cash generated by an increase of $30.5 million in accounts payable in the first nine months of 2006 compared to a reduction of $4.1 million in the first nine months of 2005, and a reduction in net income of $5.5 million, primarily due to the provision of federal income tax expense in 2006. Current assets increased in the first nine months of 2006 primarily to support increased sales, including new contracts and capital equipment production. In the first nine months of 2006 the Company also used cash of $9.4 million for capital expenditures and $3.2 million for the Foundry Service acquisition. Capital expenditures were reduced $3.2 million by the sale of an idle asset. These activities, plus an increase cash interest and taxes payments of $6.3 million and a net increase in borrowing of $23.6 million, resulted in a decrease in cash of $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2006.
 
The Company does not have off-balance-sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.
 
Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results
 
Our results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.
 
The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses that are included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions and competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; demand for our products and services; raw material availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; the financial condition of our customers, including the impact of any bankruptcies; our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into existing operations, including the recent acquisition of NABS, changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, tax rates and adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; our ability to meet various covenants, including financial covenants, contained in our revolving credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes; increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those affecting the environment; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims; dependence on the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, which are highly cyclical; dependence on key management; and dependence on information systems. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.
 
Review By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2006 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and their report is included herein.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under our floating rate revolving credit agreement, which consisted of borrowings of $152.7 million at September 30, 2006. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.
 
Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first nine months of 2006, we recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $2.7 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro and Canadian dollar. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.
 
The Company enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the British Pound Sterling, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the U.S. dollar. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At September 30, 2006, $.4 million of such currency hedge contracts were outstanding.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and

Table of Contents

procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
 
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
 
At September 30, 2006, we were a co-defendant in approximately 370 cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 9,900 plaintiffs alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These asbestos cases generally relate to production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.
 
In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from $25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought. To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the amount applies to claims against all named defendants.
 
There are only four asbestos cases, involving 21 plaintiffs, that plead specified damages. In each of the four cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of action. In three cases, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $3.0 million for four separate causes of action and $1.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $10.0 million. In the other case, the plaintiff has alleged compensatory damages in the amount of $20.0 million for three separate causes of action and $5.0 million for another cause of action and punitive damages in the amount of $20.0 million.
 
Historically, we have been dismissed from asbestos cases on the basis that the plaintiff incorrectly sued one of our subsidiaries or because the plaintiff failed to identify any asbestos-containing product manufactured or sold by us or our subsidiaries. We intend to vigorously defend these asbestos cases, and believe we will continue to be successful in being dismissed from such cases. However, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. Despite this uncertainty, and although our results of operations and cash flows for a particular period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Among the factors management considered in reaching this conclusion were: (a) our historical success in being dismissed from these types of lawsuits on the bases mentioned above; (b) many cases have been improperly filed against one of our subsidiaries; (c) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to us or our products or premises; (d) in many cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any identifiable injury or compensable loss at all, that any injuries that they have incurred did in fact result from alleged exposure to asbestos; and (e) the complaints assert claims against multiple defendants and, in most cases, the damages alleged are not attributed to individual defendants. Additionally, we do not believe that the amounts claimed in any of the asbestos cases are meaningful indicators of our potential exposure because the amounts claimed typically bear no relation to the extent of the plaintiff’s injury, if any.
 
Our cost of defending these lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect its future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.
