Part I. Financial Information
Item 1. Financial Statements
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, reports filed by Federal Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and comments made by management may contain
words such as may, will, believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, project,
estimate and objective or the negative thereof or similar terminology concerning the Companys
future financial performance, business strategy, plans, goals and objectives. These expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the
Companys possible or assumed future performance or results of operations and are not guarantees.
While these statements are based on assumptions and judgments that management has made in light of
industry experience as well as perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, they are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Companys actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different.
These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Companys control, include the cyclical
nature of the Companys industrial, municipal, government and commercial markets; availability of
credit and third-party financing for customers; the Companys ability to achieve expected savings
from integration, synergy and other cost-control initiatives; volatility in securities trading
markets; economic downturns; risks associated with suppliers, dealers and other partner alliances;
changes in cost competitiveness including those resulting from foreign currency movements;
technological advances by competitors; increased competition and pricing pressures in the markets
served by the Company; the ability of the Company to expand into new geographic markets and to
anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements; increased warranty
and product liability expenses; compliance with environmental and safety regulations; restrictive
debt covenants; disruptions in the supply of parts or components from sole source suppliers and
subcontractors; domestic and foreign governmental policy change; unforeseen developments in
contingencies such as litigation, protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property
rights; retention of key employees; and general changes in the competitive environment. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under Risk Factors
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs and other filings with the SEC. These
factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those discussed in any forward-looking statement. The Company operates in a continually changing
business environment and new factors emerge from time to time. The Company cannot predict such
factors nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such factors on its financial position or results
of operations. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of
actual results. The Company disclaims any responsibility to update any forward-looking statement
provided in this Form 10-Q.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company makes its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports
on Form 8-K, other reports and information filed with the SEC and amendments to those reports
available, free of charge, through its Internet website (http://www.federalsignal.com) as soon as
reasonably practical after it electronically files or furnishes such materials to the SEC. All of
the Companys filings may be read or copied at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street,
N.E., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room
can be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet website
(http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically.

FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of the Business
Federal Signal Corporation was founded in 1901 and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in
1969. References herein to the Company, we, our, or us refer collectively to Federal
Signal Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation
of Federal Signal Corporation and subsidiaries included herein and have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
ensure the information presented is not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companys accounting policies described in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that we
considered necessary to present a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position
and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed, consolidated financial statements should
not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. It
is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2009 Form 10-K. We label our quarterly
information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is labeled as ending on March 31,
second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is our
longstanding practice to establish interim quarterly closing dates using a 5-4-4 calendar with the
fiscal year ending on December 31. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a
reporting year.
Effective June 6, 2010, the Company reorganized its segments to better align the Companys
intelligent transportation and public safety businesses for future growth. As a result of this
reorganization, the Company created a new operating segment called Federal Signal Technologies
(FSTech) that includes the vehicle classification
software, automated license plate recognition (ALPR)
and parking systems businesses from our Safety and Security Systems operating segment and the newly
acquired businesses, Sirit Inc. and subsidiaries (Sirit) and VESystems, LLC and subsidiaries
(VESystems). The Safety and Security Systems operating segment retained campus and community
alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder interoperable communications, industrial
communications and command and municipal security businesses.
As a result of this reorganization, our four operating segments as of June 6, 2010 are as follows:
Federal Signal Technologies Our FSTech Group is a provider of technologies and solutions to the
Intelligent Transportation Systems and public safety markets and other applications. These
products and solutions provide end users with the tools needed to automate data collection and
analysis, transaction processing and asset tracking. FSTech provides technology platforms and
services to customers in the areas of radio frequency identification systems, transaction
processing vehicle classification, electronic toll collection, automated license plate recognition,
electronic vehicle registration, parking and access control, cashless payment solutions, congestion
charging, traffic management, site security solutions and supply chain systems. Products are sold
under PIPS TM, Idris ®, Sirit ® and
VESystems TM brand names.
Safety and Security Our Safety and Security Systems Group is a leading manufacturer and supplier
of comprehensive systems and products that law enforcement, fire rescue, emergency medical
services, campuses, military facilities and industrial sites use to protect people and property.
Offerings include systems for campus and community alerting, emergency vehicles, first responder
interoperable communications, industrial communications and command and municipal networked
security. Specific products include lightbars and sirens, public warning sirens and public safety
software. Products are sold under the Federal Signal, Federal Signal VAMA, Target Tech and Victor
brand names. The group operates manufacturing facilities in North
America, Europe, China and South
Africa.
Environmental Solutions Unchanged; see Note 12 for description of the operating segments
principal activities.
Fire Rescue Unchanged; see Note 12 for description of the operating segments principal
activities.

Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation.
Included with reclassifications are restatements for both discontinued operations and the
reorganization of certain operating segments, as described above.
Accounting Changes
In October 2009, the FASB amended guidance relating to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements
and certain arrangements that include software elements. This guidance requires companies to
allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling
price of each deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately either by the
company or by other vendors The amended guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for
revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June
15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the revised guidance and
is currently evaluating the impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first six months of 2010 has
had or is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not
limited to, pension and other postretirement benefits, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax
contingency accruals and valuation allowances, product warranty accruals, asset impairment,
purchase price allocation and litigation-related accruals. Actual results could differ from our
estimates.
Subsequent Events
The
Company assessed events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2010
through the date of the filing for potential recognition and
disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. No events have occurred that would require
adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
2. ACQUISITIONS
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included below are preliminary
and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and prior to the
filing of this Form 10-Q. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for
estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however the Company is
awaiting the finalization of certain third party valuations to finalize those fair values. Thus,
the preliminary measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. The Company
expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocations as soon as
practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
Sirit Inc. and Subsidiaries
On March 5, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sirit for
total cash consideration of CDN $77.1 million (USD $74.9 million). Sirit designs, develops and
manufactures radio frequency identification device technology for applications such as tolling,
electronic vehicle registration, parking and access control, cashless payments, supply chain
management and asset tracking solutions. The acquisition of Sirit supports the Companys long-term
strategy by creating growth opportunities and revenue synergies. The results of Sirit are included
within the FSTech operating segment.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from
the acquisition of Sirit. Since the acquisition and the initial preliminary purchase price
allocation included in the Companys Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, net
adjustments of $0.4 million were made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. These adjustments are summarized in the table
presented below.

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are
based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the subsequent filing of
this Form 10-Q. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating
the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however the Company is awaiting the
finalization of certain third party valuations to finalize those fair values. Thus, the preliminary
measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize
the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than
one year from the acquisition date.

Amortization expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 totaled $2.2
million and $3.4 million, respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
totaled $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The
Company estimates that the total
amortization expense will be $8.1 million in 2010, $9.5 million in 2011, $8.4 million in 2012, $7.2
million in 2013, $7.1 million in 2014, $6.3 million in 2015, and $28.1 million thereafter.
The
Company performed interim impairment tests of the Companys
goodwill and trade names for the FSTech reporting unit in the
second quarter of 2010 which resulted in no impairment. The Company
performed these interim impairment
tests due to events and changes in circumstances during those periods that indicated an impairment
might have occurred. The primary factor deemed by management to have constituted a potential
impairment triggering event was the reorganization of our operating segments in the second quarter
of 2010.
The Company estimated the fair value of goodwill using a blended use of both the discounted
cash flow model and the market valuation approach. The key inputs to the discounted cash flow
model were the Companys historical and future revenues, discount rate and incorporating general
economic and market conditions among others. The interim goodwill impairment test resulted in the
FSTech reporting unit fair value to exceed its carrying amounts by more than 10%.
The
Company estimated the fair value of trade names using a discounted cash flow model. The key
inputs to the discounted cash flow model were the Companys historical and estimated future
revenues, an assumed royalty rate and discount rate among others. While certain of these inputs are
observable, significant judgment was required to select certain inputs from observable and
unobservable market data.
5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company manages the volatility of cash flows caused by fluctuations in currency rates by
entering into foreign exchange forward contracts and options. These derivative instruments may be
designated as cash flow hedges that hedge portions of the Companys anticipated third-party
purchases and forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also enters into
foreign exchange contracts that are not intended to qualify for hedge accounting, but are intended
to offset the effect on earnings of foreign currency movements on short and long term intercompany
transactions. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recorded through earnings.
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company uses an income
approach to value the assets and liabilities for outstanding derivative contracts, which include
interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts. The income approach consists of a
discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the
terms of the contracts using current market information as of the reporting date, such as
prevailing interest rates and foreign currency spot and forward rates. The following table provides
a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities:

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with
interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts qualifying for hedge accounting treatment was
$0.4 million and $0.7 million, net of income tax effects, respectively. The Company expects $0.6
million of pre-tax net gain on cash flow hedges that are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of
June 30, 2010,
14
to be reclassified into earnings within the
next 12 months
as the respective hedged transactions affect earnings.

At June 30, 2010, 10.7 million (or $13.1 million), was drawn on the Alternative Currency
Facility, a supplemental agreement under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and $144.8 million was
drawn directly under the Second Amended Credit Agreement for a total of $157.9 million drawn under
the Second Amended Credit Agreement leaving available borrowings of $92.1 million not including
$30.6 million of capacity used for existing letters of credit.
At
June 30, 2010, $8.0 million was drawn against the
Companys non-U.S. lines of credit which
provide for borrowings up to $16.0 million.
The outstanding unsecured Private Placement Notes coupon interest rates increased by a total of 3%
from December 31, 2009. The coupon interest rates increased by 1% on January 1, 2010 as required
per the April 2009 Global Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreements.
15
The coupon rates also
increased by an additional 2% on April 1, 2010 as a result of the Companys private placement debt
rating not improving by one rating level on or before April 1, 2010.
7. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
In May 2010, the Company issued 12.1 million common shares at a price of $6.25 per share for
total gross proceeds of $75.5 million. After deducting direct
fees, net proceeds to the Company
totaled $71.0 million. Proceeds from the equity offering were used to pay down debt.
8. INCOME TAXES
The
Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was (91.2)% and 19.9% for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The
Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was (57.4)% and 16.4% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The lower tax rates in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 are caused by a $0.6
million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter primarily related to the net effects of a
release in reserves for state income taxes and an increase in
reserves for certain non-U.S. income
taxes.
The Companys unrecognized tax benefits were $5.0 million at January 1, 2010 of which $4.7 million
are tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Companys
continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income
tax expense. Interest and penalties amounting to $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are
included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Company expects the unrecognized
tax benefits to decrease by $0.2 over the next 12 months. In the six months ended June 30, 2010,
the Companys unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.6 million.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, no contributions to the pension plans were
made. During the comparable prior period, the Company contributed 1.1 million shares of the
Companys common stock held in treasury to the U.S. pension plan. The stock was valued at $4.4
million based upon prices in the open market at the contribution date. In addition, the Company
contributed $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 to its non-U.S. defined benefit
plan.
10. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
(Loss) earnings per share basic is computed by dividing income or loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
(Loss) earnings per share diluted reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options
issued under stock-based compensation awards were exercised and converted into common stock. For
the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 1.6 and 1.8 million
shares of the Companys common stock had exercise prices that were greater than the average market
price of those shares during the respective reporting periods. For the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, options to purchase 1.5 and 1.8 million shares of the Companys common stock had
exercise prices that were greater than the average market price of those shares during the
respective reporting periods. As a result, these shares are excluded from the (loss) earnings per
share calculation as they are anti-dilutive.

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND WARRANTIES
Warranties
The Company issues product performance warranties to customers with the sale of its products. The
specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country
in which the Company conducts business, with warranty periods generally ranging from one to ten
years. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and
records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the sale of the related product is
recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include the number of units under
warranty from time to time, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and costs per
claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and
adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Companys warranty liabilities in the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
were as follows:

Environmental Liabilities
The Company retained an environmental consultant to conduct an environmental risk assessment at its
Pearland, Texas facility. While the Company has not completed the risk assessment analysis, it
appears probable the site will require remediation. A reasonable estimate of the range of costs to
remediate the site is $0.7 million to $2.4 million, depending upon the remediation approach and
other factors of which $0.1 million of remediation costs were incurred to date. As of June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, $0.6 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, is included in other accrued liabilities
within the Safety and Security Systems Group. The Companys estimate may change in the near term as
more information becomes available; however the costs are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various claims, other pending and possible legal actions for product
liability and other damages and other matters arising out of the conduct of the Companys business.
The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with
17
counsel, that the
outcome of such claims and actions will not have an adverse effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future
developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, could
have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
The Companys subsidiary Bronto Skylift, a manufacturer of aerial lifts which is headquartered in
Finland, was named in a lawsuit in France, in connection with an accident which occurred in 2006.
The incident occurred at a fairgrounds in Pau, France where the National Conference of Firefighters
was held, and involved the fatal fall of an individual from the demonstration cage of one of Bronto
Skylifts vehicles. Bronto Skylift is named in the lawsuit along with two individuals, one of whom
is a consultant for Bronto Skylift. The case was referred to the Court of Corrections (criminal
court). In March 2010, the Court of Corrections fined Bronto
Skylift 0.1 million in connection with the accident, and through its counsel, Bronto Skylift is
appealing that decision. Claims for indemnity have been filed against Bronto Skylift by various
individuals in connection with the incident.
The Company has been sued by firefighters seeking damages claiming that exposure to the Companys
sirens has impaired their hearing and that the sirens are therefore defective. There were 33 cases
filed during the period 1999-2004, involving a total of 2,443 plaintiffs pending in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Illinois. The trial of the first 27 of these plaintiffs claims began on
March 18, 2008 and ended on April 25, 2008, when a Cook County jury returned a unanimous verdict in
favor of the Company. An additional 40 firefighter plaintiffs were selected for trial to begin on
January 5, 2009. Plaintiffs counsel later moved to reduce the number of plaintiffs from 40 to 9.
Trial of these nine plaintiffs began on February 6, 2009 and concluded on February 20, 2009 with a
verdict returned against the Company and for the plaintiffs in varying amounts totaling $0.4
million. The Company is appealing this verdict. All trials previously scheduled in Cook County
during 2009 and 2010 are stayed pending the result of this appeal. Since February 20, 2009, the
Company is aware of six additional cases that have been filed in Cook County, involving 299
plaintiffs.
The Company has also been sued on this issue outside of the Cook County, Illinois venue. With the
exception of matters that may be appealed, Federal Signal is currently a defendant in 53 hearing
loss lawsuits in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, involving a total of 53 firefighter plaintiffs. The
first trial involving one of these plaintiffs began on February 16, 2010 and ended on March 2,
2010, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. In particular, the jury found that the
Companys siren was not defectively designed, but that the Company negligently constructed the
siren. The jury awarded damages in the amount of $0.1 million which was subsequently reduced to
$0.08 million. The Company plans to appeal this verdict. Another trial, involving 9 Philadelphia
firefighter plaintiffs, began on June 14, 2010 and ended on June 25, 2010 when the jury returned a
defense verdict for the Company as to all claims and all plaintiffs involved in that trial. Five
additional trials, involving a total of 43 plaintiffs, are scheduled to begin during the second,
third, and fourth quarters of 2010. During the course of the current Philadelphia litigation, six
cases have been dismissed. In four of these cases, the Company paid nominal sums which included
reimbursement of expenses, to obtain dismissals. Two cases were dismissed pursuant to motion filed
by the Company. The Company has been sued in jurisdictions other than Philadelphia, but those
cases have been dismissed, including four cases in the Supreme Court of Kings County, New York
which were dismissed on January 25, 2008 after the court granted the Companys motion to dismiss.
The trial court subsequently denied reconsideration of its ruling. On appeal, the appellate court
affirmed the trial courts dismissal of these cases. Plaintiffs attorneys have threatened to file
additional lawsuits. The Company intends to vigorously defend all of these lawsuits.
Federal Signals ongoing negotiations with CNA over insurance coverage on these claims have
resulted in reimbursements of a portion of the Companys defense costs. In the six month period
ended June 30, 2009, $0.6 million of reimbursement from CNA was recorded by the Company as a
reduction of corporate operating expenses. In the six month period ended June 30, 2010, $0.2
million was recorded.
E-One, a former subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a defendant in a product liability
case in Massachusetts involving a firefighter who claims to have been injured as a result of an
accident involving an E-One pumper firetruck. In particular, plaintiff required amputation of a
leg resulting from this accident. The accident allegedly occurred on August 7, 2005 when the
firetruck was inadvertently placed into drive during pumping operations and ran away, pinning
plaintiff against another firetruck. Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the truck was
defective and unreasonably dangerous because it failed to include certain alleged safety devices.
After the accident, the Massachusetts Department of Labor investigated the accident and concluded
various errors and omissions by the Fire Department and driver/operator of the pumper contributed
to causing the accident. In addition to damages recoverable under typical product liability cases,
plaintiff has also sought recovery under the Massachusetts Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The
Company has recently been advised by its insurance carriers that they reserve rights for coverage
for these claims as well as the other claims made by plaintiffs in this case. The Company disputes
this position. No trial date has been set for this case; the parties anticipate, however, that
trial will occur during the fourth quarter of 2010 or the first quarter of 2011.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective June 6, 2010, the Company reorganized its segments to better align the Companys
intelligent transportation and public safety businesses for future growth. As a result of this
reorganization, the Company created a new operating segment called FSTech that includes the vehicle
classification software, automated license plate recognition and parking systems businesses from
our Safety and Security Systems operating segment and the newly acquired businesses, Sirit and

Net Sales
Safety and Security Systems segment net sales decreased $0.5 million and $4.4 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to
soft municipal demand for fire and police products, partially offset by a strong industrial demand.
Fire Rescue segment net sales decreased $11.9 million and $19.6 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to a lower
order backlog, lower volumes in both the industrial and rental markets and unfavorable currency
adjustments.
Environmental Solutions segment net sales increased $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in sweepers and waterblaster
shipments, partially offset by lower shipments of both sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks due to a
draw-down on backlog in December 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales decreased
$10.5 million compared to the prior year period due to lower backlog levels as compared to early
2009.
Federal Signal Technologies segment net sales increased $11.8 million and $16.8 million for the
three and six months ended compared to the respective prior year periods due to the acquisitions of
Sirit and VESystems in March 2010 and Diamond in December 2009.
24
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior
year period as a result of changes in product mix and improved efficiencies. Consistent with the
decrease in net sales, cost of sales decreased $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the respective prior year periods.
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $1.1 million and $3.7
million of acquisition and integration related costs. These costs include, but are not limited to,
direct costs of recent acquisitions and costs directly associated in the formation of our new
operating segment, FSTech. There were no acquisition and integration related costs for the
respective prior year periods.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring
charges were $3.7 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to no charges in the respective prior year periods. In the second quarter of 2010, the
Company announced restructuring initiatives focused on aligning the Companys cost base with
revenues and other functional reorganizations. The Company recorded $3.4 million in restructuring
charges related to a global reduction in force across all functions. Payment of accrued amounts related to severance and benefits are expected to
be completed by the third quarter of 2011. The remaining expense of $0.3 million is related to the
2009 Footprint restructuring plan.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $3.9 million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 compared to the prior year periods. The decrease is due to acquisition and integration
related charges, deferred retention charges, restructuring charges and a decline in sales partially
offset by a change in product mix and efficiencies from cost reduction efforts.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the
prior year due to an increase in coupon rates of the Companys private placement senior notes
pursuant to the April 2009 Global Amendment and an increase in borrowings. Interest expense
decreased $0.1 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year due
to a reduction in total debt.
Effective Tax Rate
The
Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was (91.2)% and 19.9% for the three month periods ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively.
The
Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was (57.4)% and 16.4% for the six month periods ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively.
The lower tax rates in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 are caused by a $0.6
million tax benefit recorded in the second quarter primarily related to the net effects of a
release in reserves for state income taxes and an increase in reserves for certain foreign income
taxes.
The Companys unrecognized tax benefits were $5.0 million at January 1, 2010 of which $4.7 million
are tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce the annual effective tax rate. The Companys
continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income
tax expense. Interest and penalties amounting to $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are
included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Company expects the unrecognized
tax benefits to decrease by $0.2 over the next 12 months. In the six months ended June 30, 2010,
the Companys unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.6 million.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations was $1.4 million and $4.4 million in the three months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in income from continuing operations is due to lower
operating income as described above an increase in interest expense and other expense, net
partially offset by a tax benefit. (Loss) income from continuing operations was ($1.4) million and
$4.9 million in the six months
25
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in income from
continuing operations is due to lower operating income as described above partially offset by a tax
benefit.
Discontinued Operations and Disposals
During
the second quarter of 2010, the Company approved a plan to sell its
Riverchase business, which had previously been reported as part of the Safety and Security Systems
operating segment. The Riverchase business develops a suite of products that enables emergency
response agencies to manage and communicate remotely with their fleets. The Company wrote down
assets of the Riverchase business to net realizable value as of June 30, 2010, resulting in a net
loss of $1.4 million. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009, a net loss of $9.3 million and
$8.8 million was recorded, respectively, primarily related to the discontinuation of the Companys
European street sweeper business.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.02 for the quarter ended June 30,
2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, diluted loss per share from continuing operations
was ($0.03).
Orders and Backlog
Orders increased 23% and 24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior
year periods as the U.S. and global markets continue their recovery from the recession. In the three
months ended June 30, 2010, U.S. and non-U.S. orders increased 27% and 16%, respectively as
compared to the prior year. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, U.S. and non-U.S. orders
increased 26% and 22%, respectively as compared to prior year.
U.S. municipal and government orders increased 2.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the increase in sewer cleaners of $5.3 million
and ALPR cameras of $2.1 million, offset by a reduction in sweepers of $2.8 million. U.S. municipal
and government orders increased approximately 6.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared
to the prior year, as demand continued to increase for sewer cleaners and ALPR cameras at $10.2
million and $2.9 million, respectively, offset by continued municipal tightening in the police
market of $2.4 million.
U.S. industrial orders increased 68.8%, or $23.4 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the prior year as a result of strong industrial demand. Federal Signal Technologies
segment orders increased $17.6 million due to $10.0 million in parking systems orders and orders
attributed to Sirit and VESystems. Environmental Solutions segment vacuum trucks orders increased
$5.9 million. U.S. industrial orders increased 58.8%, or $39.6 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year. The Environmental Solutions segment increased $16.7
million driven by an increase in vacuum truck orders of $11.5 million and waterblasters orders of
$2.8 million. Federal Signal Technologies segment increased $19.9 million with parking systems up
$10.1 million and orders from Sirit and VESystems. Safety and Security Systems Group orders
increased $3.9 million with industrial products driving the year over year increase.
Non-U.S. orders increased 16.2% or $9.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the prior year. The increase was primarily due to strong demand for industrial products in the
Environmental Solutions and Safety and Security Systems segments which were up $4.3 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. Fire Rescue and Federal Signal Technologies segment reported increases
in orders of $1.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Non-U.S. orders increased 21.7% or $27.3
million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the prior year with increases in the Fire
Rescue segment of $10.4 million, Safety and Security Systems segment of $7.3 million and Federal
Signal Technologies segment of $3.2 million.
Backlog
is $214.4 million at June 30, 2010, which is $1.2 million
higher than the same period in 2009.

Orders of $54.6 million for the second quarter were flat year over year. U.S. orders were down
slightly with lower municipal spending, offset partially by strong industrial demand. Non-U.S.
orders were slightly favorable driven by strong demand for industrial products, partially offset by
weaker demand for fire and police products and an unfavorable currency impact. Year to date orders
were up $5.2 million driven by strong demand in non-U.S. orders for industrial products as well as
a large European police order partially offset by lower U.S. municipal spending.
Net sales of $57.2 million for the quarter were down slightly from the prior year quarter as a
result of soft municipal demand for fire and police products, the absence of a large order placed
in 2009 and unfavorable currency impacts of $1.0 million. Partially offsetting this decline was
strong industrial demand. Similarly, year to date net sales were down $4.4 million as a result of
weak municipal demand and the absence of a large 2009 order which decline was offset partially by
strong industrial demand.
For the quarter, operating income and margins were down from the prior year primarily due to $1.9
million of restructuring charges associated with a reorganization of the management structure
within the group. Year to date operating income and margins were down due to lower sales volumes
and restructuring charges.

Orders for the second quarter decreased 6.1% from the second quarter of 2009 with weakness in the
European fire-lift market and an unfavorable currency impact of $1.6 million. Year to date orders
were up 22.8% to $51.6 million primarily as result of strong
demand for the fire-lift product in Asia. Demand for the industrial market continues to lag as a result of the global economic
recession.
Net sales declined 28.7% in the second quarter primarily as a result of lower volumes with the
weaker industrial and rental markets and unfavorable currency impacts of $2.0 million. Year to
date net sales declined 26.5% as a result of a weak backlog and an unfavorable currency impacts of
$1.3 million.
Operating income for the second quarter declined to $2.8 million primarily as a result of the lower
volumes. Unit margins improved as a result of operational and manufacturing improvements, but were
more than offset by restructuring charges, increased expenses and unfavorable currency impacts.
Year to date operating income was down due to lower sales levels, restructuring charges and
an unfavorable currency impact.

Orders of $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 were up 21.0% from the prior year period.
U.S. orders increased 18.3%, or $9.1 million, from the prior year period with municipal sewer
cleaners up $5.3 million and industrial vacuum trucks up $5.9 million, offset by weaker demand in
the municipal sweepers of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up $4.3 from the prior year period.
Year to date orders of
27
$164.8 million were up 25.7%, or $33.7 million from the prior year period. U.S. orders
were up 26.3% or $27.3 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of increases in
industrial vacuum trucks of $11.5 million, municipal sewer cleaners of $10.2 million and
waterblasters of $2.8 million. Non-U.S. orders were up 23.4% or $6.4 million from the prior year
period.
Net sales for the second quarter were slightly higher than the prior year period. Increases in
sweepers and waterblaster shipments were offset by lower shipments of sewer cleaners and vacuum
trucks as a result of a draw down on backlog in December 2009. Year to date net sales were down
$10.5 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of lower backlog levels as compared
to early 2009. Increased shipments of waterblasters and sweepers were more than offset by
reductions in sewer cleaners and vacuum trucks.
Operating income for the second quarter was up 18.0% to $7.2 million from the prior year period due
to higher gross margins resulting from cost reduction activities and 2009 restructuring benefits.
Operating margin of 8.5% was up from 7.3% in 2009. Year to date operating income was up 18.5% from
the 2009 period to $10.9 million largely due to gross margin improvements from cost reduction
activities and benefits from the 2009 restructuring charges.

Orders were up $22.9 million to $35.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the prior year. U.S. orders were up $19.6 million primarily as a result of increases in parking
systems of $10.0 million related to a contract renewal, orders attributed to the newly acquired
businesses, Sirit and VESystems and $2.1 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.3
million. Orders were up $26.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior
year. U.S. orders were up $22.6 million from the 2009 period primarily as a result of increases in
parking systems of $10.1 million, orders from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit and VESystems
and $2.9 million of ALPR cameras. Non-U.S. orders were up $3.6 million from the 2009 period.
Net sales increased $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year
due to sales from the newly acquired businesses of Sirit, VESystems and Diamond and an increase in
ALPR camera sales. Net sales increased $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010
primarily due to the newly acquired businesses.
Operating loss was $1.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to operating income of $1.2 million and $1.8 million in the respective prior year periods.
The decrease in operating income is due to deferred retention payments from the acquisition of
Diamond, increase in amortization expense as a result of the newly acquired businesses and
restructuring charges due to facility consolidations and reorganization of management.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses decreased to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $10.7
million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was due largely to the $2.1 million in expenses
associated with costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist shareholder in 2009, a $0.5
million decrease in 2010 associated with headcount reductions and a $1.2 million decrease from
medical expenses. The offset was from a $2.2 million increase in expenses associated with legal
and trial costs associated with the Companys ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $1.1
million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and
VESystems and the related
integration activities at FSTech in 2010.
Corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $18.3 million and $16.8 million for
the comparable period in 2009. The increase was due largely to the $1.5 million associated with
legal and trial costs from the Companys ongoing firefighter hearing loss litigation and $3.7
million in expenses associated with the acquisitions of Sirit and
VESystems and integration
activities at FSTech in 2010. The offset in 2010 was from a $0.3 million decrease associated with hearing
loss insurance reimbursements and headcount reduction, a $0.9 million decrease from medical
expenses and $2.7 million associated with the costs for a proxy contest initiated by an activist
shareholder charged in 2009.
Corporate expenses included depreciation and amortization expense of
$0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2010, respectively and $0.2 million and $0.4 million
for the comparable period in 2009, respectively.

Seasonality of Companys Business
Certain of the Companys businesses are susceptible to the influences of seasonal buying or
delivery patterns. The Companys businesses which tend to have lower sales in the second calendar
quarter compared to other quarters as a result of these influences are street sweeping, fire rescue
products, outdoor warning, emergency signaling products and parking systems.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company utilizes its operating cash flow and available borrowings under its revolving credit
facility for working capital needs of its operations, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions
of companies operating in markets related to those already served, pension contributions, debt
repayments, share repurchases and dividends.
The following table summarizes the Companys cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively:

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.9 million compared
to cash provided by operating activities of $20.6 million for the respective prior year period.
The decrease is primarily due to an increase in cash used to support net working capital.
In May 2010, the Company issued 12.1 million common shares at a price of $6.25 per share for total
gross proceeds of $75.5 million. After deducting direct fees, net proceeds totaled $71.0 million.
Proceeds from the equity offering were used to pay down debt.
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired two businesses that are key components to the
development of the Companys Intelligent Transportation Systems strategy. VESystems was acquired
for $34.8 million, of which $24.6 million was a cash payment. Sirit was acquired for CDN $77.1
million (USD $74.9 million), all of which was paid in cash. The acquisitions were funded with the
Companys existing cash balances and debt drawn against the availability of the Companys $250
million of revolving credit facility. In addition to the use of cash and debt, the Company issued
1.2 million shares of its common stock to fund a portion of the cost of purchasing VESystems. The
issuances increased the total number of Company common stock shares outstanding.
Debt, net of cash, as a percentage of capitalization was 36.3% at June 30, 2010, versus 35.4% at
December 31, 2009. The change was primarily due to the issuance of 12.1 million common shares
described above, which resulted in an increase in shareholders equity and a decrease in debt.
At June 30, 2010, $157.9 million was drawn against the Companys revolving credit facility which
matures April 25, 2012. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at
the Base Rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges up to 0.75% for
Base Rate borrowings and 1.00% to 2.00% for LIBOR borrowings depending on the Companys total
indebtedness to capital ratio. At June 30, 2010, the Companys applicable margins over LIBOR and
Base Rate borrowings were 1.50% and 0.25%, respectively.
The Companys revolving credit facility and private placement notes contain certain financial
covenants for each fiscal quarter end. For the Second Amended Credit Agreement and each of the
Private Placement Note Agreements, covenants include a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio, an
interest expense coverage ratio and a minimum net worth requirement.
At June 30, 2010, all of the Companys retained earnings were
29
free of any restrictions and the Company was in compliance with
the financial covenants and agreements. The Company expects to be in compliance with its covenants
for the balance of the year.
As of June 30, 2010, 10.7 million (or $13.1 million), was drawn on the Alternative Currency
Facility, a supplemental agreement under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and $144.8 million was
drawn directly under the Second Amended Credit Agreement for a total of $157.9 million drawn under
the Second Amended Credit Agreement leaving available borrowings of $92.1 million not including
$30.6 million of capacity used for existing letters of credit.
At June 30, 2010, $8.0 million was drawn against the Companys non-U.S. lines of credit which
provide for borrowings up to $16.0 million.
Given the Companys cash position and debt structure, the Company has not experienced any material
liquidity issues. The Company has $10.3 million of private placement principal debt payments due
over the next twelve months. The Company expects that with its existing liquidity and the
opportunities available to raise capital in the near term, notwithstanding market conditions, it
will meet all of its anticipated needs for liquidity during the next twelve months and for the
foreseeable future.
The Company is required to assess on an on-going basis, events or circumstances that may trigger an
evaluation of goodwill for impairment, and test for impairment annually should no triggering event
indicate the need for analysis in the interim. The Companys practice is to group goodwill by
operating segment. Due to the reorganization of the Companys operating segments, an interim
impairment test was performed in the second quarter of 2010 for the FSTech reporting unit which resulted in no impairment.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Short-term borrowings increased $8.0 million at June 30, 2010 from $0.0 million at December 31,
2009 primarily due to the funding of two acquired businesses in the first quarter of 2010. Total
long-term borrowings increased to $227.7 million at June 30, 2010 from $202.7 million at December
31, 2009. See the Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report for
more information.
Changes to the Companys accrual for product warranty claims in the six months ended June 30, 2010,
is discussed in Note 11.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There has been no significant changes in our
exposure to market risk since December 31, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Companys management,
with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2010. We completed our acquisitions of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc. on
March 2, 2010 and March 5, 2010, respectively. As permitted by U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission Regulations, managements assessment as of June 30, 2010 did not include the internal
control of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc., which are included in our condensed consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2010. VESystems, LLC constituted $36.9 million and $35.5
million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2010 and $5.8 million and $(0.3)
million of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the six-month period then ended. Sirit Inc.
constituted $99.7 million and $92.1 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30,
2010 and $8.2 million and $(1.0) million of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the six-month
period then ended.
Based on that evaluation, which excluded an assessment of internal control over financial reporting
of the acquired operations of VESystems, LLC and Sirit Inc., the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of June 30, 2010. As a matter of practice, the Companys management continues to
review and document internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. From time to time,
the Company may make changes aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the controls and to ensure
that the systems evolve with the business. During the quarter, Rajan Sachar, Vice President of
Internal Audit, was appointed to the position of Group Vice President, Finance for the FSTech
Group. The Company is currently engaged in a search to fill the open Vice President of Internal
Audit position. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, there were no changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
