Year Ended December 31, 2009
1. Description of Plan
The following description of The Timken Company Savings Plan for Torrington Bargaining Associates (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan was established on February 16, 2003. On February 18, 2003, The Timken Company acquired Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited’s Engineered Solutions business, which was comprised of certain operating assets and subsidiaries including The Torrington Company.
General
During 2006, The Timken Company closed its Standard Plant, the full-time hourly employees of which were represented by the United Auto Workers Local 1645. As a result of this transaction, all participants in the Plan terminated their employment with The Timken Company and the Plan will no longer have any new participants or contributions. However, The Timken Company, the Plan administrator, will continue to sponsor the Plan for those participants who have elected not to transfer their accounts to another plan. The contributions reported in 2007 relate to retirements processed on January 1, 2007. The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covered full-time hourly employees of Timken US Corporation (the Company) who were represented by the United Auto Workers Local 1645. Employees of the Company became eligible to participate in the Plan on the first of the month coincident with or immediately following completion of one year of service (including service with The Torrington Company prior to The Timken Company’s purchase of The Torrington Company). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions
Under the provisions of the Plan, participants were able to elect to contribute up to 20% of their eligible earnings on a pretax basis directly to the Plan subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations. Participants were also able to contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or 401(k) defined contribution plans. The Company matched participant contributions, “Company Matching Contributions”, at an amount equal to 100% on the first 3% of the participant’s eligible earnings, and then 50% on the subsequent 3% of the participant’s eligible earnings.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of Plan (continued)
Upon enrollment, a participant was required to direct his or her contribution in 1% increments to any of the Plan’s investment options. The Company Matching Contributions were invested in Timken common shares. Participants were not permitted to direct the investment of the Company Matching Contributions until their service with the Company is terminated. Participants have access to their account information and the ability to make changes on a daily basis, subject to the next available payroll for contribution change election, through an automated telecommunications system. Account information and certain changes may also be made through the Internet.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account was credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Each participant’s account is charged investment management fees for certain investment options available through the Plan. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company Matching Contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting
Participants were immediately vested in their contributions and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company Matching Contribution portion of their account plus actual earnings thereon occurred over a period of six years with 20% vested after two years and an additional 20% in each of the years three to six.

1. Description of Plan (continued)
Participant Notes Receivable
Participants may borrow from their account related to their participant contributions and rollover contributions with a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of (1) $50,000 minus the excess of the highest outstanding loan balance during the past 12 months or (2) 50% of their account balance related to participant contributions and rollover contributions. Loan terms generally cannot exceed five years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s vested account and bear interest at an interest rate of 1% in excess of the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month in which the loan is granted. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
As a result of their termination of service to The Timken Company due to the closure of the Standard Plant, participants having a vested account balance greater than $1,000 were given the option of (i) transferring their account balance to another plan, (ii) receiving a lump-sum amount equal to the vested balance of their account, (iii) receiving installment payments of their vested assets over a period of time not to exceed their life expectancy, or (iv) leaving their vested account balance in the Plan. Participants having a vested account balance less than $1,000 received a lump-sum amount equal to their vested account balance. Participants electing to leave their vested assets in the Plan may do so until age 70 1 /2 after which time the lump-sum or installment distribution options would apply.
Plan Termination
The Plan shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2008, and yearly thereafter, unless either the Company or the United Auto Workers Local 1645 shall notify the other party in writing that they desire to terminate the Plan. The Plan may generally be amended by mutual consent of the Company and the United Auto Workers Local 1645. In the event of Plan termination, the Trustee shall distribute to each participant the amount standing to their credit in their separate account.

2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value and are invested in The Master Trust Agreement for the Company defined contribution plans (Master Trust), which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and the seven other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company. The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the value of the Plan’s interest in the fund plus actual contributions and allocated investment income (loss) less actual distributions.
The Plan’s trustee, JP Morgan (Trustee), maintains a collective investment trust of Timken common shares in which the Company’s defined contribution plans participate on a unit basis. Timken common shares are traded on a national securities exchange and participation units in The Timken Company Common Stock Fund are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. The valuation per unit of The Timken Company Common Stock Fund was $12.99 and $10.85 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Investments in registered investment companies, common collective funds and investment contracts are valued at the redemption value of units held at year-end. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fair Value
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those investments of the Master Trust measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009:
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Timken Company Stock Fund participates in units and is valued based on the closing price of Timken Common Shares traded on a national securities exchange. Registered investment companies are valued based on quoted market prices reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
The S&P 500 Index fund includes investments that provide exposure to a broad equity market and is designed to mirror the aggregate price and dividend performance of the S&P 500 Index. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net asset value per share.
The Core Bond fund includes investments that seek to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of intermediate- and long-term debt securities. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.
The Russell 2000-A Index fund includes investments seeking an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000 Index over the long term. The Fund includes exposure to stocks of small U.S. companies. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

4. Fair Value (continued)
Investment Contracts include a common collective trust fund that is designed to deliver safety and stability by preserving principal and accumulating earnings. This fund is primarily invested in guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts. See Note 6 - Investment Contracts for further discussion on investment contracts.
Participant notes receivable are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2009 there was no notes receivable.

6. Investment Contracts
The Master Trust invests in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), or a Stable Value Fund, that credit a stated interest rate for a specified period of time. The Stable Value Fund provides principal preservation plus accrued interest through fully benefit-responsive wrap contracts issued by a third party which back the underlying assets owned by the Master Trust. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal at a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.
Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rates for the wrap contracts are calculated on a quarterly basis (or more frequently if necessary) using contract value, market value of the underlying fixed income portfolio, the yield of the portfolio, and the duration of the index, but cannot be less than zero.

$ | 1,804,252 | $ | 1,737,903 | ||||
The fully benefit-responsive investment contracts have been adjusted from fair value to contract value for purposes of the financial statements. For purposes of the Form 5500, the investment contracts will be stated at fair value.
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Master Trust invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
8. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated March 27, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. The Plan Administrator will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain compliance with the Code.
