ATC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)


Note 1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ATC Technology Corporation (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.  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, 2008.  The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through July 28, 2009, the date these financial statements were issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, the Company also consolidates any variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined.

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 165, Subsequent Events.  The objective of this statement is to establish principles and requirements for subsequent events. In particular, this Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial statements issued after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Note 2.
Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid and other assets, refundable income taxes, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and income taxes payable as of  June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

4


The majority of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2009 are invested in money market funds that primarily invest in securities issued by the U.S Government or its agencies.

Due to the Company’s current position in cash and cash equivalents of $99,017 and the terms of its revolving Credit Facility, the Company has concluded that the $70,000 carrying value of its Credit Facility as of June 30, 2009, which is not publicly traded, approximates it fair value.  (See Note 8 − Credit Facility.)


Note 3.
Short-Term Investments

The Company maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees and directors.  Under the terms of this plan, funds are withheld from the participant’s pre-tax earnings, a portion of which are matched by the Company in certain circumstances, and are placed into a trust in which the use of the trust assets by the Company is restricted to future distributions to plan participants.  The Company classifies its investments related to planned distributions for the next twelve months in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets.  Distributions, which are contractually specified by the plan participants as either “in-service” or “post-separation,” can be made in a lump sum payment or in annual installments over a period not to exceed 15 years.  The assets of the trust primarily consist of mutual fund securities and are available to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of its bankruptcy.  The Company applies the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force “EITF” No. 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested.


Note 4.
Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

 
June 30, 2009
 
December 31, 2008
       
Raw materials, including core inventories
$ 55,384   $ 57,621
Work-in-process

Finished goods                                                                 
  3,223     4,953
  $ 59,429   $ 63,334

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the raw materials inventory balances were net of inventory reserves of $6,967 and $6,943, respectively.


Note 5.
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment of continuing operations, stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, are summarized as follows:

 
June 30, 2009
 
December 31, 2008
           
Property, plant and equipment                                                                   
$ 142,027     $ 148,864  
Accumulated depreciation                                                                   
  (93,626 )     (96,136 )
  $ 48,401     $ 52,728

As part of the Company’s restructuring of its Drivetrain segment, obsolete property, plant and equipment with an original cost totaling $11,387 and accumulated depreciation of $10,920 was disposed of during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Also during the six months ended June 30, 2009, property, plant, and equipment and accumulated depreciation increased by $2,096 and $1,813, respectively, due to changes in the foreign exchange conversion rate between the U.S dollar and the British pound.


Note 6.
Goodwill

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment is summarized as follows:
 
 
Logistics
 
Drivetrain
 
Consolidated
Balance at December 31, 2008
$ 16,238   $ 36,991     $ 53,229  
Impairment
      (36,991 )     (36,991 )
Balance at June 30, 2009
$ 16,238   $     $ 16,238  

The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year unless events or circumstances would require an immediate review.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received notice of the impending loss of its automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in the Drivetrain segment.  The resulting reduction in estimated future revenues for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit was determined to be an indicator of impairment as described in SFAS No. 142 and as such, the Company performed an interim step one test for the potential impairment of the goodwill related to this reporting unit during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  In estimating the fair value of the North American Drivetrain reporting unit, the Company used a weighted average of the income approach and the market approach.  Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated based upon the present value of expected future cash flows.  The income approach is dependent on a number of factors including probability weighted estimates of forecasted revenue and operating costs, capital spending, working capital requirements, discount rates and other variables.  Under the market approach, the Company estimated the value of the reporting unit by comparison to a group of businesses with similar characteristics whose securities are actively traded in the public markets.  The Company used peer company multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and revenues to develop a weighted average estimate of fair value for the market approach.  The resulting estimate of fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, requiring the Company to perform a step two measurement of the impairment loss.  In step two, the implied fair value of the goodwill is estimated by subtracting the fair value of the reporting unit’s tangible, recorded intangible and unrecorded intangible assets from the fair value of the reporting unit.  The impairment loss, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.   As a result of the step two valuation, the Company concluded that the implied fair value of goodwill for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit was zero, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36,991 in its Drivetrain segment during the second quarter of 2009.

The Company’s fair value estimate of goodwill for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit as of June 30, 2009 was based upon level three inputs as defined in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, as unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which required the Company to develop its own assumptions as described above.

Note 7.
Warranty Liability

The Company offers various product warranties for transmissions and engines sold to its customers in the Drivetrain segment.  The specific terms and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the customer and the product sold.  Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include number of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim.  The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs as sales are made and periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability, included in accrued expenses, and adjusts the amount as necessary.  

Changes to the Company’s warranty liability are summarized as follows:

 
For the three months ended

Note 8.
Credit Facility

On March 21, 2006, the Company executed a credit agreement and related security agreement with certain banks that provide the Company with a $150,000 five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility can be increased by up to $75,000 under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions (including the receipt from one or more lenders of the additional commitments that may be requested).

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a specified margin or the prime rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made.  The applicable margin is based on the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA from time to time.  Currently, the Company’s LIBOR margin is 1.0% and its prime rate margin is zero. Additionally, the Company is required to pay quarterly in arrears a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility during such quarter, currently at a rate of 0.20% per annum.  The Company must also pay fees on outstanding letters of credit at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR margin then in effect.

Amounts advanced under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and its domestic subsidiaries' assets.  The credit and security agreements contain several covenants, including ones that require the Company to maintain specified levels of net worth, leverage and interest coverage and others that may limit its ability to create liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, make fundamental changes, make asset dispositions, make restricted payments (including dividends) and engage in transactions with the Company’s affiliates and affiliates of its subsidiaries.  The Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facility’s covenants as of June 30, 2009.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility are generally due and payable on March 31, 2011, the expiration date of the credit agreement.  The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty or capacity reduction.

On February 10, 2009, the Company borrowed $70,000 in principal amount under the Credit Facility in order to increase its cash position and to preserve financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the credit markets.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $70,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility and had $890 of letters of credit issued against the Credit Facility, resulting in a borrowing capacity of $79,110.


Note 9.
Income Taxes
 
The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 25.1% and 12.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and 37.5% and 38.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was lower than the U.S. federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the $2,902 nondeductible portion of the Drivetrain goodwill impairment charge of $36,991, the state income tax provision, and certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets.      
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Oklahoma courts denied the Company’s petition regarding claims on certain tax credits in its state income tax filings with the State of Oklahoma, and as such the Company has no further recourse.  As a result, the Company has reversed $1,100 from the FIN 48 liability with an offsetting reversal of the current receivable the Company had recorded for these items.  The total liabilities associated with remaining unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rates were $505 and $1,637 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Repurchases of Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, certain employees of the Company delivered to the Company 31,869 shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of $469 of withholding tax obligations arising from the vesting of Restricted Stock awards (see Note 12 Stock-Based Compensation).  Per the stock incentive plans under which the stock awards were granted, (i) the withholding tax obligation was based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date and (ii) the shares returned to the Company in satisfaction of the withholding tax obligation were returned to their respective plan and are available for future grant.

In addition, 4,974 shares of the Company’s common stock were returned to treasury, at no cost, due to the forfeiture of Restricted Stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Note 12.
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company awards (i) stock options and (ii) unvested shares of its common stock (“Restricted Stock”) to its directors and employees and applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, to these stock-based awards.  Stock option valuations are estimated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and Restricted Stock awards are measured at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.  For stock-based awards granted by the Company with graded vesting provisions, the Company applies an accelerated attribution method and separately amortizes each vesting tranche over its particular vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company granted an aggregate of (i) 264,373 stock options with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant at a weighted average fair value of $4.86 per share and (ii) 120,097 shares of Restricted Stock at a weighted average fair value of $15.04 per share, to non-employee directors, executive officers and certain employees of the Company.

The Company recognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards of $1,195 and $1,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2,481 and $2,253 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 13.
Segment Information

Within the Company, financial performance is measured by lines of business.  The Company aggregates certain of its operating units to form two reportable segments: the Logistics segment and the Drivetrain segment.  The Logistics segment provides value-added warehousing, packaging and distribution, reverse logistics, turnkey order fulfillment, electronic equipment testing, and refurbishment and repair services. The principal customers are currently in the wireless, consumer electronics and automotive industries and include AT&T, TomTom, Nokia, LG, T-Mobile, TiVo, SonyEricsson, GM and Delphi.  The Drivetrain segment primarily sells remanufactured transmissions to Ford, Honda, Allison, Chrysler, GM and certain foreign OEMs, primarily for use as replacement parts by their domestic dealers during the warranty and/or post-warranty periods following the sale of a vehicle.  In addition, the Drivetrain segment sells select remanufactured engines primarily to certain OEMs in Europe.  (See Note 6 "Goodwill" for a discussion regarding the impending loss of the Company's remanufactured transmission business with Honda.)  The reportable segments are each managed and measured separately primarily due to the differing customers and distribution channels.

9


The Company evaluates performance based upon operating income.  The reportable segments’ accounting policies are the same as those of the Company.  In 2008, the Company allocated fixed corporate overhead equally to each of the Company’s reportable segments.  In 2009, as the result of (i) growth in the Logistics segment and (ii) a reduction in volumes for the Drivetrain segment, approximately 75% of the fixed corporate overhead is being allocated to the Logistics segment and 25% to the Drivetrain segment, while certain costs that are variable in nature are allocated to the segment for whose benefit the costs are incurred.  Internal information systems costs are allocated based upon usage estimates.

The following table summarizes financial information relating to the Company’s reportable segments:

Note 14.
Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges

The Company has periodically incurred certain costs associated with restructuring and other initiatives that include consolidation of operations or facilities, management reorganization and delayering, rationalization of certain products, product lines and services, and asset impairments.  Examples of these costs include severance benefits for terminated employees, lease termination and other facility exit costs, moving and relocation costs, losses on the disposal or impairments of fixed assets, write-down of certain inventories, and certain legal and other professional fees.

During 2008, the Company’s Drivetrain customers and the supporting supply base experienced unprecedented distress due to the economic slowdown and adverse changes in the North American vehicle industry.  On December 9, 2008, the Company announced the restructuring of its Drivetrain operations, including the closure of its Springfield, Missouri automatic transmission remanufacturing facility and the consolidation of the Springfield operations with the Drivetrain operations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  The decision to consolidate these remanufacturing plants was primarily driven by reduced customer volumes and the need for a comprehensive restructuring of the Drivetrain business to align its capacity with lower customer demand levels during a prolonged economic downturn.  Production lines were moved in stages in order to provide uninterrupted delivery of product to the Company’s customers.  As of June 30, 2009, all production had been transferred from the Springfield facility to the Oklahoma City operations.

As a result of these restructuring activities, during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded $9,668 of exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges which included:

 
(i)
$7,310 for the write-down of raw materials inventory due to the determination of excess quantities of raw materials on hand as a result of the recent decline in volume and the consolidation of facilities (classified as cost of sales – products), including the disposal of $6,598 of inventory;

 
(ii)
$1,896 of severance costs primarily for employees being terminated as part of the closure of the Springfield facility;

 
(iii)
$304 of costs related to fixed asset disposals (classified as cost of sales – products); and

 
(iv)
$158 of other plant consolidation costs.

During the three months ending March 31, 2009, the Company recorded $3,167 of restructuring costs, which included:

 
(i)
$2,143 of costs to transfer production lines to its Oklahoma City facility and exit the Springfield facility, including $380 of costs classified as cost of sales – products; and

 
(ii)
$1,024 of severance costs for employees being terminated as part of the closure of the Springfield facility.

During the three months ending June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $2,127 of restructuring costs, which included:

 
(i)
$1,771 of costs to exit the Springfield facility and transfer production lines to its Oklahoma City facility, including $566 of costs classified as cost of sales – products; and

 
(ii)
$356 of severance costs for employees being terminated as part of the closure of the Springfield facility.

Note 15.
Discontinued Operations

During 2008, the Company concluded that the potential return on the investment for the NuVinci CVP project was not sufficient to continue development activities.  As a result, the Company sold certain tangible and intangible assets related to NuVinci to Fallbrook Technologies Inc. for a total of $6,103.  Accordingly, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1,911 during 2008 related to the exit from this project, including charges of (i) $1,020 for termination benefits, (ii) $469 for certain inventory deemed unusable by Fallbrook, (iii) $228 primarily related to the write-off of capitalized patent development costs, and (iv) $194 related to the disposal of certain fixed assets.

During 2006, the Company discontinued its Independent Aftermarket businesses.  These businesses, which had incurred losses since their beginning, remanufactured engines and distributed non-OEM branded remanufactured engines and transmissions directly to independent transmission and general repair shops and certain aftermarket parts retailers.  The Company received proceeds of $2,051 for the sale of the Independent Aftermarket engine business and ceased the operations of the Independent Aftermarket transmission business, with the exception of contractual obligations for the warranty replacement for units sold prior to its closure. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the current liabilities of the discontinued Independent Aftermarket businesses were primarily related to a warranty accrual to service the run-out of warranty claims on sales made prior to the closure of the transmission business.

Note 17.
Contingencies
                      
The Company is subject to various evolving federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous substances and wastes.  These laws and regulations provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations and impose liability for the costs of cleaning up, and damages resulting from, past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous substances.

In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, some of which have been subsequently divested or relocated, the Company conducted certain investigations of these companies' facilities and their compliance with applicable environmental laws.  The investigations, which included Phase I assessments by independent consultants of all manufacturing and various distribution facilities, found that a number of these facilities have had or may have had releases of hazardous materials that may require remediation and also may be subject to potential liabilities for contamination from off-site disposal of substances or wastes.  These assessments also found that reporting and other regulatory requirements, including waste management procedures, were not or may not have been satisfied.  Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that, based in part on the investigations conducted, in part on certain remediation completed prior to or since the acquisitions, and in part on the indemnification provisions of the agreements entered into in connection with the Company's acquisitions, the Company will not incur any material liabilities relating to these matters.

14


In connection with the sale of the ATC Distribution Group, a former segment of the Company’s business that was discontinued and sold during 2000 (the "DG Sale") and is now owned by Transtar Industries, Inc., the Company agreed to certain matters with the buyer that could result in contingent liability to the Company in the future.  These include the Company's indemnification of the buyer against (i) environmental liability at former ATC Distribution Group facilities that had been closed prior to the DG Sale, including former manufacturing facilities in Azusa, California, Mexicali, Mexico and Dayton, Ohio, (ii) any other environmental liability of the ATC Distribution Group relating to periods prior to the DG Sale, subject to an $850 deductible ($100 in the case of the closed facilities) and a $12,000 cap (except with respect to closed facilities) and (iii) any tax liability of the ATC Distribution Group relating to periods prior to the DG Sale.

15


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, some of which require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.  We believe that the following are the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments.  We evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts and make judgments and estimates in determining the appropriate allowance at each reporting period based on historical experience, credit evaluations, specific customer collection issues and the length of time a receivable is past due.  Since our accounts receivable are often concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.  Our net write-offs were $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.  For each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our net write-offs were less than $0.1 million.  As of June 30, 2009, we had $82.7 million of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.6 million.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of our accounts receivables with two of our customers (Chrysler and General Motors) who have recently filed bankruptcy cases.

Inventory Valuation.  We make adjustments to write down our inventories for estimated excess and obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based on assumptions about market conditions, future demand and expected usage rates. Changes in economic conditions, customer demand, product introductions or pricing changes can affect the carrying value of our inventory. Demand for our products has fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future, which could result in an increase in excess quantities on hand.  If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, causing usage rates to vary from those estimated, additional inventory write-downs may be required.  Although no assurance can be given, these write-downs would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.  During 2008, as part of the restructuring and consolidation of our Drivetrain business and changes in the economic and financial condition of the automotive sector, we revised our estimates of net realizable value for inventory in our Drivetrain businesses.  For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we recorded charges for excess and obsolete inventory of approximately $10.4 million (including $7.3 million classified as exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges), $4.4 million (including $1.4 million classified as exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges), and $1.7 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded charges for excess and obsolete inventory of approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2009 we had inventory of $59.4 million, net of a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory of $7.0 million.
 
16


Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets.  Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis unless events or circumstances would require an immediate review.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit, which generally is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment as defined in paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information and paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  In accordance with paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 142, certain components of an operating segment with similar economic characteristics are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit.  Goodwill amounts are generally allocated to the reporting units based upon the amounts allocated at the time of their respective acquisition, adjusted for significant transfers of business between reporting units.  The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process which requires us to make estimates regarding the fair value of the reporting unit. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is not required.  However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss (if any), which compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  In estimating the fair value of our reporting units, we utilize a valuation technique based on multiples of projected cash flow, giving consideration to unusual items, cost reduction initiatives, new business initiatives and other factors that generally would be considered in determining value.  Impairments are recorded (i) if the fair value is less than the carrying value or (ii) when an individual reporting unit is disposed of.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  If we were to lose a key customer within a particular operating segment or its sales were to decrease materially, impairment adjustments that may be required could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we received notice of the impending loss of our automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in our Drivetrain segment.  The resulting reduction in estimated future revenues for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit was determined to be an indicator of impairment as described in SFAS No. 142 and as such, we performed an interim step one test for the potential impairment of the goodwill related to this reporting unit during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  In estimating the fair value of the North American Drivetrain reporting unit, we used a weighted average of the income approach and the market approach.  Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated based upon the present value of expected future cash flows.  The income approach is dependent on a number of factors including probability weighted estimates of forecasted revenue and operating costs, capital spending, working capital requirements, discount rates and other variables.  Under the market approach, we estimated the value of the reporting unit by comparison to a group of businesses with similar characteristics whose securities are actively traded in the public markets.  We used peer company multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and revenues to develop a weighted average estimate of fair value for the market approach.  The resulting estimate of fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, requiring us to perform a step two measurement of the impairment loss.  In step two, the implied fair value of the goodwill is estimated by subtracting the fair value of the reporting unit’s tangible, recorded intangible and unrecorded intangible assets from the fair value of the reporting unit.  The impairment loss, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  As a result of the step two valuation, we concluded that the implied fair value of goodwill for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit was zero, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $37.0 million in our Drivetrain segment during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Our fair value estimate of goodwill for the North American Drivetrain reporting unit as of June 30, 2009 was based upon level three inputs as defined in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, as unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which required us to develop our own assumptions as described above.

As of June 30, 2009, goodwill was recorded at a carrying value of approximately $16.2 million and is entirely attributable to our Logistics segment.

Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowances.  Tax law requires items to be included in the tax return at different times than when these items are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.  As a result, our annual tax rate reflected in our consolidated financial statements is different than that reported in our tax return.  Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense.  These timing differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  The tax rates used to determine deferred tax assets or liabilities are the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Based on the evaluation of all available information, we recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered more likely than not.

We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing our forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry-back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.  A valuation allowance is required to be established unless management determines that it is more likely than not that we will ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax asset.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s valuation allowance decreased due to the decision to remove certain state net operating loss carryforwards that had full valuation allowances recorded against them in states where we no longer do business, which was partially offset by recording a new valuation allowance against certain state net operating losses in connection with the goodwill impairment recorded in our Drivetrain segment. Our valuation allowances, primarily related to tax benefits associated with state loss carryforwards, were $2.6 million and $6.3 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Warranty Liability.  We provide an allowance for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including inspection and testing at various stages of the remanufacturing process and the testing of each finished assembly on equipment designed to simulate performance under operating conditions, our warranty obligation is affected by the number of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and costs per unit and actual product failure rates.  Additionally, we participate in the tear-down and analysis of returned products with certain of our customers to assess responsibility for product failures.  For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we (i) recorded charges for estimated warranty costs for sales made in the respective year of approximately $1.0 million, $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and (ii) paid and/or settled warranty claims of approximately $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we (i) recorded charges for estimated warranty costs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and (ii) paid and/or settled warranty claims of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Should actual product failure rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required.  Although no assurance can be given, these revisions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Accounting for Stock-Based Awards.  We apply the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, and adopted this standard using the modified prospective transition method.  Our stock option valuations are estimated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and restricted stock awards are measured at the market value of our common stock on the date of issuance.  Our Black-Scholes option pricing model assumes no dividends and includes assumptions for (i) expected volatility based on the historical volatility of our stock over a term equal to the expected term of the option granted, (ii) risk-free interest rates based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option granted, and (iii) expected term which represents the period of time that a stock option award is expected to be outstanding before being exercised or cancelled.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we awarded an aggregate of 264,373 stock options and 120,097 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors, executive officers and certain employees.  Total estimated compensation expense of $3.0 million related to awards granted during the first six months of 2009 is being amortized over the requisite service period.  For all stock-based awards outstanding as of June 30, 2009, we have yet to record, on a pre-tax basis, an estimated total of $4.6 million of compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.


Results of Operations for the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2008.

During the second quarter of 2009, we received notice of the impending loss of our automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in our Drivetrain segment.  This change in our North American Drivetrain business triggered an interim test for the potential impairment of goodwill related to our Drivetrain business.  As a result, we concluded that the fair value of our North American Drivetrain reporting unit no longer supported the assigned goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2009 of $37.0 million ($26.0 million net of income tax benefits which includes $0.9 million of expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets).

Income (loss) from continuing operations decreased $25.6 million to a loss of $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from income of $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  On a per share basis, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.85 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to income from continuing operations of $0.42 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Our results for 2009 included (i) a goodwill impairment charge of $26.0 million (net of tax) in our Drivetrain segment and (ii) exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges of $1.3 million (net of tax) in the Drivetrain segment. Our results for 2008 included exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges of $0.1 million (net of tax).  Excluding these charges, income from continuing operations increased primarily as a result of:

 
·
benefits from our on-going lean and continuous improvement program and other cost reduction initiatives; and

 
·
the launch and ramp-up of new business in our Logistics segment;

partially offset by:

 
·
reduced demand for remanufactured transmissions due to a variety of factors including (i) a reduction in the size of in-warranty vehicle fleets for Honda and Ford due to declining new car sales, (ii) improved quality of new OEM transmissions, and (iii) macro-economic factors believed to have resulted in a reduction in the number of miles driven and the deferral of repairs;

 
·
lower sales to TomTom in 2009 following the ramp-up of new service offerings and an increase in inventory in their distribution channels in the second quarter of 2008; and
 
19


 
·
scheduled price concessions to certain customers, primarily in our Logistics segment, granted in connection with previous contract renewals.


Net Sales

Net sales decreased $17.1 million, or 12.6%, to $118.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $135.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to:

 
·
reduced demand for remanufactured transmissions due to a variety of factors including (i) a reduction in the size of in-warranty vehicle fleets for Honda and Ford due to declining new car sales, (ii) improved quality of new OEM transmissions, and (iii) macro-economic factors believed to have resulted in a reduction in the number of miles driven and the deferral of repairs;

 
·
lower sales to TomTom in 2009 following the ramp-up of new service offerings and an increase in inventory in their distribution channels in the second quarter of 2008;

 
·
nominal sales in 2009 for two Logistics segment programs that were substantially completed in 2008; and

 
·
scheduled price concessions to certain customers, primarily in our Logistics segment, granted in connection with previous contract renewals;

partially offset by the launch and ramp-up of new business in our Logistics segment.

Of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, AT&T accounted for 51.4% and 38.4%, Ford accounted for 10.1% and 12.1%, TomTom accounted for 8.6% and 16.5%, and Honda accounted for 7.1% and 9.6%, respectively.


Gross Profit

Gross profit remained constant at $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 24.6% for 2009 from 21.4% for 2008.  The increase was primarily due to benefits from our on-going lean and continuous improvement program and other cost reduction initiatives, and the factors described above under “Net Sales.”


Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense decreased $2.0 million, or 13.9%, to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease was primarily the result of benefits from our on-going lean and continuous improvement program and other cost reduction initiatives and a reduction in cost for incentive compensation programs.  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense decreased slightly to 10.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 10.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill

During the second quarter of 2009, we received notice of the impending loss of our automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in our Drivetrain segment.  This change in our North American Drivetrain business triggered an interim test for the potential impairment of goodwill related to our Drivetrain business.  As a result, we concluded that the fair value of our North American Drivetrain reporting unit no longer supported the assigned goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2009 of $37.0 million ($26.0 million net of income tax benefits which includes $0.9 million of expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets).  There were no similar costs recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008.


Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges

During 2008, our Drivetrain customers and the supporting supply base experienced unprecedented distress due to the economic slowdown and adverse changes in the North American vehicle industry.  As a result, during 2008 we began to take actions to restructure our Drivetrain operations, including the closure and consolidation of our Springfield, Missouri automatic transmission remanufacturing operations into our Drivetrain operations located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  In connection with this restructuring, we recorded pre-tax charges of $2.1 million ($1.3 million net of tax) during the three months ended June 30, 2009, consisting of (i) $1.8 million ($1.1 million net of tax) of costs to exit the Springfield facility and transfer production to the Oklahoma City facility (including $0.6 million of costs classified as cost of sales – products) and (ii) $0.3 million ($0.2 million net of tax) of severance and related costs for employees being terminated as part of the closure of the Springfield facility.  As of June 30, 2009, this consolidation and restructuring, which is expected to result in pre-tax annual cost savings of $6 million, was substantially complete and we do not expect to incur any significant additional costs over the remainder of 2009.

As a result of the impending loss of the Honda transmission remanufacturing program, we have identified additional cost reduction actions and expect to record pre-tax charges of approximately $1.5 million for severance and related termination benefits during the second half of 2009.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $0.2 million ($0.1 million net of tax) of exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges consisting of termination benefits related to specific cost reduction activities and the reorganization of certain functions within the Logistics segment’s information technology group.

As an on-going part of our planning process, we continue to identify and evaluate areas where cost efficiencies can be achieved through consolidation of redundant facilities, outsourcing functions or changing processes or systems.  Implementation of any of these could require us to incur additional exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges, which would be offset over time by the projected cost savings.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) decreased to a loss of $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from income of $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to the $37.0 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2009 coupled with the factors described above under “Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges,” partially offset by the factors described above under “Selling, General and Administrative Expense.”


Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we reported a net income tax benefit of $5.6 million on our pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $22.2 million.  This net tax benefit includes a benefit of $11.1 million (net of $0.9 million of tax expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets) related to the goodwill impairment charge of $37.0 million.  The normalized effective income tax rate (excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment charge) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately 37.0%, as compared to 37.5% for 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to the change in mix of our taxable income by state.

Impairment of Goodwill.

During the second quarter of 2009, we received notice of the impending loss of our automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in our Drivetrain segment.  This change in our North American Drivetrain business triggered an interim test for the potential impairment of goodwill related to our Drivetrain business.  As a result, we concluded that the fair value of our North American Drivetrain reporting unit no longer supported the assigned goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2009 of $37.0 million ($26.0 million net of income tax benefits which include $0.9 million of expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets).  There were no similar costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008.


Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges

As a result of the impending loss of the Honda transmission remanufacturing program, we have identified additional cost reduction actions and expect to record pre-tax charges of approximately $1.5 million for severance and related termination benefits during the second half of 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax) of exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges, which included (i) $0.9 million ($0.6 million net of tax) of severance and other costs primarily related to certain cost reduction activities and (ii) $0.2 million ($0.1 million net of tax) of certain legal and other professional fees unrelated to our ongoing operations.

As an on-going part of our planning process, we continue to identify and evaluate areas where cost efficiencies can be achieved through consolidation of redundant facilities, outsourcing functions or changing processes or systems.  Implementation of any of these could require us to incur additional exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges, which would be offset over time by the projected cost savings.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) decreased to a loss of $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from income of $32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to the $37.0 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2009 coupled with the factors described above under “Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges.”


Interest Income

Interest income decreased to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates in 2009 as compared to 2008.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase was primarily due to the $70.0 million borrowing we made under our credit facility during 2009 to increase our cash position and preserve our financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the capital markets.


Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we reported a net income tax benefit of $1.3 million on our pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $10.8 million. This net tax benefit includes a benefit of $11.1 million (net of $0.9 million of tax expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets) related to the goodwill impairment charge of $37.0 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The normalized effective income tax rate (excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment charge) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately 37.0%, as compared to 38.3% for 2008.  This decrease was primarily due to the change in mix of our taxable income by state.


Discontinued Operations

During 2008 we recorded after-tax losses from discontinued operations of $2.5 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we concluded that the potential return on the investment for our NuVinci CVP project was not sufficient to continue development activities.  As a result, we sold certain tangible and intangible assets related to the NuVinci project to Fallbrook Technologies Inc. for a total of $6.1 million.  The after-tax loss of $2.5 million for 2008 is primarily related to our discontinued NuVinci CVP project.  On a pre-tax basis, the loss of $4.3 million included $2.4 million of operating losses from NuVinci and a charge of $1.9 million related to the exit from this project, which consisted of charges of (i) $1.0 million for termination benefits, (ii) $0.5 million for certain inventory deemed unusable by Fallbrook, (iii) $0.2 million primarily related to the write-off of capitalized patent development costs, and (iv) $0.2 million related to the disposal of certain fixed assets.  There were no similar costs recorded in 2009.

Segment Profit.  Segment profit increased $2.5 million, or 9.4%, to $29.2 million (18.0% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $26.7 million (15.6% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase was primarily the result of benefits from our on-going lean and continuous improvement program and other cost reduction initiatives, and the factors described above under “Net Sales.”

Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $0.2 million of these costs for severance related to specific cost reduction activities and the reorganization of certain functions within the segment’s information technology group.  There were no similar costs recorded in 2009.

Drivetrain Segment

The following table presents net sales and segment profit (loss) expressed in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net sales:

 
For the Six Months Ended June 30,
 
2009
 
2008
Net sales
$ 69.7     100.0 %   $ 93.9   100.0 %
Impairment of goodwill
$ 37.0     53.1 %   $    
Exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges
$ 5.3     7.6 %   $ 0.9   1.0 %
Segment profit (loss)
$ (39.5 )       $ 5.6   6.0 %

Net Sales.  Net sales decreased $24.2 million, or 25.8%, to $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $93.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to reduced demand for remanufactured transmissions due to a variety of factors including (i) a reduction in the size of in-warranty vehicle fleets for Honda and Ford due to declining new car sales, (ii) improved quality of new OEM transmissions, and (iii) macro-economic factors believed to have resulted in a reduction in the number of miles driven and the deferral of repairs.

Of our segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Ford accounted for 34.8% and 32.6% and Honda accounted for 28.3% and 27.2%, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill.  During the second quarter of 2009, we received notice of the impending loss of our automatic transmission remanufacturing program with Honda, a major customer in our Drivetrain segment.  This change in our North American Drivetrain business triggered an interim test for the potential impairment of goodwill related to our Drivetrain business.  As a result, we concluded that the fair value of our North American Drivetrain reporting unit no longer supported the assigned goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2009 of $37.0 million ($26.0 million net of income tax benefits which include $0.9 million of expense primarily related to certain valuation allowances on applicable state deferred tax assets).  There were no similar costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $5.3 million of these costs, consisting of (i) $3.9 million of costs to transfer production from Springfield to Oklahoma City and other facility exit costs and (ii) $1.4 million of severance and related costs for employees being terminated as part of the closure of the Springfield facility.  As a result of the impending loss of the Honda transmission remanufacturing program, we have identified additional cost reduction actions and expect to record pre-tax charges of approximately $1.5 million for severance and related termination benefits during the second half of 2009.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $0.9 million of these costs, consisting of (i) 0.7 million of severance primarily related to cost reduction activities and (ii) $0.2 million of certain legal and other professional fees unrelated to ongoing operating activities of the segment.

Segment Profit (Loss).  Segment profit (loss) decreased to a loss of $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from a profit of $5.6 million (6.0% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease was primarily the result of the costs described above under “Impairment of Goodwill” and “Exit, Disposal, Certain Severance and Other Charges,” and to a lesser extent reduced volumes as described above under “Net Sales.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had total cash and cash equivalents on hand of $99.0 million at June 30, 2009.    Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $14.8 million for the six-month period then ended.  During the period, we used $12.5 million of cash from our working capital accounts which included:

 
·
$9.6 million for accounts receivable primarily as the result of (i) certain amounts that were paid after the end of the quarter and (ii) the delayed payment of certain amounts due from customers going through the bankruptcy process; and

 
·
$8.9 million for accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily due to (i) federal and state income tax payments, (ii) the use of $3.1 million in cash for payments of our 2008 incentive compensation and (iii) changes in our accounts payable balances;

partially offset,

 
·
$4.3 million from reduced inventories primarily related to a planned reduction in inventory in the Logistics segment; and

 
·
$1.7 million from prepaid and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $2.8 million for the period primarily for capital spending related to machinery and equipment for new business initiatives and capacity maintenance.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $69.6 million was primarily related to the $70.0 million borrowing made under our credit facility to increase our cash position and preserve our financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the capital markets.

For 2009, we estimate $9-$11 million for capital expenditures, consisting of approximately $4-$6 million in support of new business and capacity expansion initiatives in both our Logistics and Drivetrain segments and approximately $5 million in support of maintenance and cost reduction initiatives.

Our credit agreement provides for a $150.0 million revolving credit facility available through March 2011.  Our credit facility also provides for the ability to increase the facility by up to $75.0 million in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions (including the receipt from one or more lenders of the additional commitments that may be requested) and achievement of certain financial ratios.  Amounts advanced under the credit facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries.

At our election, amounts advanced under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate plus a specified margin or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate plus a specified margin.  The Base Rate is equal to the higher of (a) the lender’s prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%.  The applicable margins for both Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate loans are subject to quarterly adjustments based on our leverage ratio as of the end of the four fiscal quarters then completed.

We were in compliance with all the credit facility’s covenants as of June 30, 2009.

Our cash position and expected free cash flow for 2009 are expected to provide adequate resources to satisfy foreseeable business obligations.  However, on February 10, 2009, we borrowed $70.0 million under our credit facility in order to increase our cash position and preserve our financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the capital markets.  The proceeds are being held in high-quality, low-risk investments and are not expected to be used in the near term.

As of June 30, 2009, our liquidity includes (i) borrowing capacity under the credit facility of $79.1 million, net of $0.9 million for outstanding letters of credit and (ii) $99.0 million of cash on hand.

Two of our customers (Chrysler and General Motors) filed for bankruptcy protection under U.S. bankruptcy laws during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  As of June 30, 2009, we had received substantially all the pre-bankruptcy net amount owed to us from Chrysler, and we expect to receive the net pre-bankruptcy amounts due from GM.  We have received notification from both Chrysler and GM that all our contracts have been or will be assumed by the post-bankruptcy entities.  Current delays in receiving payment for post-bankruptcy shipments to these customers have not been material to our operations.

Having considered these and other matters, we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and existing borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations and budgeted capital expenditures.  In pursuing future acquisitions, we will continue to consider the effect any such acquisition costs may have on liquidity.  In order to consummate such acquisitions, we may need to seek funds through additional borrowings or equity financing.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Derivative Financial Instruments.  We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.  We have used derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  Neither the aggregate value of these derivative financial instruments nor the market risk posed by them has been material to our business.  As of June 30, 2009, we were not using any derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Exposure.  Based on our overall interest rate exposure during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and assuming similar interest rate volatility in the future, a near-term (12 months) change in interest rates would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.  As of June 30, 2009, interest rate movements of 100 basis points would result in an approximate $0.4 million increase or decrease to our consolidated net income over a one-year period.

Foreign Exchange Exposure.  Our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars.  We have one foreign operation that exposes us to translation risk when the local currency financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars.  Since changes in translation risk are reported as adjustments to stockholders' equity, a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would have increased or decreased our consolidated net income by approximately $38 thousand.


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including Chief Executive Officer Todd R. Peters, and Chief Financial Officer Ashoka Achuthan, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.  Under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those "controls or other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms."  Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management determined that such controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009, the date of the conclusion of the evaluation.

Further, there were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls after June 30, 2009, the date of the conclusion of the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
