THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

 

1. Accounting Policies

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the financial position at March 31, 2008, and except as otherwise discussed such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature.  The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s latest annual report.

 

All dollar amounts, except share and per share amounts, are in millions of dollars throughout the tables included in these notes unless otherwise indicated.

 

2. Acquisitions

 

On March 6, 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (TaiAn Dongyue) for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The joint venture is located in TaiAn City, Shandong Province, China.  The aggregate consideration for the joint venture interest in TaiAn Dongyue was $29.9 million inclusive of certain contingent payments and resulted in an initial allocation of $22.8 million to goodwill. The company is in the process of valuing other intangible assets acquired in this acquisition and will assign value to these assets during the second quarter of 2008.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the TaiAn Dongyue acquisition at Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

 

On July 19, 2007, the company acquired Shirke Construction Equipments Pvt. Ltd (Shirke) for an aggregate consideration of $64.5 million including approximately $1.3 million of acquisition costs.  Headquartered in Pune, India, Shirke is a market leader in the Indian tower crane industry and has been Potain’s Indian manufacturing partner and distributor since 1982.  The aggregate consideration paid for Shirke resulted in $33.8 million of goodwill and $30.2 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Shirke acquisition at Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

 

On January 3, 2007, the company acquired the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes from Marine Travelift, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.  The acquisition of the Carrydeck line adds six new models to the company’s product offering of mobile industrial cranes.  The aggregate consideration paid for the Carrydeck line resulted in $9.2 million of goodwill and $6.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Carrydeck acquisition at Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

 

3. Financial Instruments

 

As further discussed in Note 15, the company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” effective January 1, 2008.  The following table sets forth the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the company’s other financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, retained interest in receivables sold and short-term loans payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.

 

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value 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). SFAS No. 157 classifies 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 company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The company has determined that our financial assets and liabilities are level 1 and level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

As a result of our global operating and financing activities, the company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, we minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes and we do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts and forward commodity purchase agreements are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 1 and level 2.

As discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions,” during 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (TaiAn Dongyue) for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The joint venture is located in TaiAn City, Shandong Province, China.  The aggregate consideration paid for the joint venture interest in TaiAn Dongyue was $29.9 million inclusive of certain contingent payments and resulted in an initial allocation of $22.8 million to goodwill.  The company is in the process of valuing other intangible assets acquired in this acquisition and will assign value to these assets during the second quarter of 2008.

 

During 2007, the company completed the acquisitions of the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes and Shirke.  The acquisition of the Carrydeck line resulted in an increase of $9.2 million of goodwill and $6.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  The other intangible assets consist of trademarks totaling $1.2 million, which have an indefinite life, customer relationships of $4.2 million, which have been assigned a 20 year life, and non-patented technologies of $1.1 million which have been assigned a 20 year life.  The acquisition of Shirke resulted in an increase of $33.8 million of goodwill and $30.2 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  The other intangible assets consist of customer relationships of $10.5 million, which have been assigned a 10 year life, trademarks totaling $9.1 million, which have an indefinite life, and other intangibles of $10.6 million, which include various intangible assets that are amortized over 6 months to 6 years, which approximates their estimated useful lives.

 

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the company’s intangible assets other than goodwill were as follows as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The Company has entered into an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables.  New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. The company has retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against the company for uncollectible receivables; however, the company’s retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and due to the company’s collection history, the fair value of the company’s retained interest approximates book value.  The retained interest recorded at March 31, 2008 is $62.0 million and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The securitization program includes certain of the company’s domestic U.S. Foodservice and Crane segment’s businesses and the capacity of the program is $105 million. Trade accounts receivables sold to the Purchaser and being serviced by the company totaled $95.0 million at March 31, 2008.

 

Sales of trade receivables from the special purpose subsidiary to the Purchaser totaled $135.0 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Cash collections of trade accounts receivable balances in the total receivable pool totaled $268.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

 

The accounts receivables securitization program is accounted for as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” Sales of trade receivables to the Purchaser are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

The table below provides additional information about delinquencies and net credit losses for trade accounts receivable subject to the accounts receivable securitization program.

8. Income Taxes

 

The company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WDOR) continues its examination of the company’s Wisconsin income tax returns for 1997 through 2005. The company anticipates that this examination will be completed by the end of 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the WDOR has not formally issued any assessment report. In August 2007, the German tax authorities began an examination of the company’s German entity’s income and trade tax returns for 2001 through 2005. Thus far, there have been no significant developments with regard to this German examination.

The company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to increase by $2.1 million, including interest and penalty, to $38.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. All of the company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

 

During the next 12 months, the company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.02 and $0.0175 per outstanding common share, respectively.

 

10. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On March 21, 2007, the Board of Directors of the company approved the Rights Agreement between the company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the company (the “Common Stock”), to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2007 (the “Record Date”).  In addition to the Rights issued as a dividend on the record date, the Board of Directors has also determined that one Right will be issued together with each share of Common Stock issued by the company after the Record Date.  Generally, each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the company one share of Common Stock at a purchase price, in cash, of $110.00 per share ($220.00 per share prior to the September 10, 2007 stock split), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Rights Agreement (the “Purchase Price” or “Exercise Price”).

 

As explained in the Rights Agreement, the Rights become exercisable on the “Distribution Date”, which is that date that any of the following occurs: (1) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; or (2) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of such outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The Rights will expire at the close of business on March 29, 2017, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described in the Rights Agreement.

 

On July 26, 2007, the board of directors authorized a two-for-one split of the company’s common stock.  Record holders of Manitowoc’s common stock at the close of business on August 31, 2007 received on September 10, 2007 one additional share of common stock for every share of Manitowoc common stock they owned as of August 31, 2007.  Manitowoc shares outstanding at the close of business on August 31, 2007 totaled 62,787,642.  The company’s common stock began trading at its post-split price at the beginning of trading on September 11, 2007.  Per share, share and stock option amounts within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

 

In November 2007, we sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 4.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of $39.48 per share to the public.  The offering was undertaken to meet anticipated investor demand for the company’s common stock in connection with Standard & Poor’s decision to add the company to the S&P 500 Index as of the close of trading on November 15.  Net cash proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $156.9 million.  We used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

11. Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation expense is calculated by estimating the fair value of incentive stock options at the time of grant and amortized over the stock options’ vesting period.  Stock-based compensation was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

12.  Contingencies and Significant Estimates

 

The company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERLA) in connection with the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Approximately 150 potentially responsible parties have been identified as having shipped hazardous materials to this site. Eleven of those, including the company, have formed the Lemberger Site Remediation Group and have successfully negotiated with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to fund the cleanup and settle their potential liability at this site. The estimated remaining cost to complete the clean up of this site is approximately $8.1 million. Although liability is joint and several, the company’s share of the liability is estimated to be 11% of the remaining cost. Remediation work at the site has been substantially completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of groundwater and site maintenance remaining. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2008 is $0.9 million. Based on the size of the company’s current allocation of liabilities at this site, the existence of other viable potential responsible parties and current reserve, the company does not believe that any liability imposed in connection with this site will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

During the due diligence process for the sale of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Diversified Refrigeration, LLC, (f/k/a Diversified Refrigeration, Inc.) (DRI) certain contaminants in the soil and ground water associated with the facility were identified. As part of the sale agreement, the company agreed to be responsible for costs associated with further investigation and remediation of the issues identified. Estimates indicate that the costs to remediate this site are approximately $2.0 million. During December 2005, the company recorded a $2.0 million reserve for these estimated costs. This charge was recorded in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2008 is $1.6 million. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

At certain of the company’s other facilities, the company has identified potential contaminants in soil and groundwater. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend upon the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

The company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its various businesses. Based on the facts presently known, the company does not expect environmental compliance costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

As of March 31, 2008, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business, and have fluctuated over the last five years. The range of the company’s self-insured retention levels is $0.1 million to $3.0 million per occurrence. The high-end of the company’s self-insurance retention level is a legacy product liability insurance program inherited in the Grove acquisition for cranes manufactured in the United States for occurrences from January 2000 through October 2002. As of March 31, 2008, the largest self-insured retention level currently maintained by the company is $2.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.

 

Product liability reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2008, were $36.3 million; $15.7 million was reserved specifically for actual cases and $20.6 million for claims incurred but not reported which were estimated using actuarial methods. Based on the company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.

 

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the company had reserved $94.9 million and $92.1 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these warranties and other related claims involve matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiations, arbitration, or litigation.

 

It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental remediation, product liability and warranty costs may change in the near future based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the company’s historical experience.

 

The company is involved in numerous lawsuits involving asbestos-related claims in which the company is one of numerous defendants. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, the current political environment with respect to asbestos related claims, and the liabilities accrued with respect to such matters, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the company.

 

The company is also involved in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, which, taking into account the liabilities accrued and legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

The company has been in negotiations with one of its Marine customers to recover certain cost overruns that resulted from change orders related to a particular contract.  During the third quarter of 2005, due to the fact that these negotiations were not successful within a timeframe satisfactory to the company, the company filed a lawsuit seeking recovery of these cost overruns from the customer.  The customer subsequently filed a counter suit against the company in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company established a reserve of $10.2 million to reflect the inherent uncertainties in litigation of this type.  The $10.2 million reserve was recorded in cost of sales of the Marine segment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended

 

11



 

December 31, 2005.  On March 4, 2008, the company reached an agreement with this Marine customer which resulted in the settlement of all claims and counter claims between the two parties related to certain contractual disputes relating to late delivery, cost overruns, and product performance that resulted from change orders to the particular contract.

 

13. Guarantees

 

The company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments.  These transactions are recorded as operating leases for all significant residual value guarantees and for all buyback commitments.  These initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third party financing agreement.  The deferred revenue included in other current and non-current liabilities at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $105.9 million and $102.4 million, respectively.  The total amount of residual value guarantees and buyback commitments given by the company and outstanding at March 31, 2008 was $94.6 million. This amount is not reduced for amounts the company would recover from repossessing and subsequent resale of the units.  The residual value guarantees and buyback commitments expire at various times through 2013.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the company sold $0.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of its long term notes receivable to third party financing companies.  The company guarantees some percentage, up to 100%, of collection of the notes to the financing companies.  The company has accounted for the sales of the notes as a financing of receivables.  The receivables remain on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of payments made, in other current and non-current assets and the company has recognized an obligation equal to the net outstanding balance of the notes in other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The cash flow benefit of these transactions, net of payments made by the customer, are reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the customers have paid $1.6 million of the notes to the third party financing companies.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the notes receivables guaranteed by the company was $17.1 million.

 

In the normal course of business, the company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the company.  Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 6 months to 60 months.  If a product fails to comply with the company’s warranty, the company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products.  The company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its warranty at the time product revenue is recognized.  These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement.  The primary factors that affect the company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims.  As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.  Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

The company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents.  The pension benefits are funded, while the health care and death benefits are not funded but are paid as incurred.  Eligibility for coverage is based on meeting certain years of service and retirement qualifications.  These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations.  The company has reserved the right to modify these benefits.

The three U.S. pension plans had benefit accruals frozen during 2003.  Effective January 1, 2007, the company merged all US pension plans together and made a contribution of $27.2 million that is expected to fully fund the ongoing pension liability.  The company also changed its investment policy to more closely align the interest rate sensitivity of its pension assets with the corresponding liabilities.  The resulting asset allocation is approximately 10% equities and 90% fixed income.  This funding and change in allocation removed a significant portion of the U.S. pension’s volatility arising from unpredictable changes in interest rates and the equity markets.  This decision will protect the company’s balance sheet as well as support its goal of minimizing unexpected future pension cash contributions based upon the new provisions of the Pension Protection Act and protect our employees’ benefits.

 

15. Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The company is currently evaluating the impact on disclosures of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations “,which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:  (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141(R) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled.  SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”).  A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.  SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the company did not elect the fair value option for any of such eligible financial assets or financial liabilities as of March 31, 2008.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-b which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FAS 157 and FSP 157-b are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have elected a partial deferral of SFAS 157 under the provisions of FSP 157-b related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for

 

13



 

impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit or disposal activities. The impact of partially adopting SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”   This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  FIN No. 48 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.  Upon the adoption of FIN No. 48, we recognized an additional tax liability of $10.8 million and a corresponding reduction  in retained earnings recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2007.

 

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  SFAS No. 156, amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 140, by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.   The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.”  SFAS No. 155 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133, primarily related to hybrid financial instruments and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, as well as amends SFAS No. 140, related to eliminating a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) may hold. SFAS No. 155 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

16. Subsidiary Guarantors of Senior Notes due 2013

 

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for (a) the parent company, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (Parent); (b) the guarantors of the Senior Notes due 2013, which include substantially all of the domestic wholly owned subsidiaries of the company (Subsidiary Guarantors); and (c) the wholly and partially owned foreign subsidiaries of the company, which do not guarantee the Senior Notes due 2013 (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries).  Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally liable under the guarantees, and 100% owned by the company.  On August 1, 2007, the company redeemed its 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012, the guarantors of which were substantially the same as the guarantors of the Senior Notes due 2013.

(“ITW”) issued a Rule 2.5 Announcement indicating that ITW has made a competing offer for the shares of Enodis, and the directors of Enodis have withdrawn their recommendation of the company’s offer and will unanimously recommend that the Enodis shareholders vote in favor of the ITW offer.  The company is considering its position with respect to Enodis and will make a further announcement in due course.

 

Concurrent with the company’s offer, the company also announced that it has entered into a $2.4 billion credit agreement in connection with the potential acquisition.  The obligations of the lenders to make loans and of the issuing bank to issue letters of credit under the credit agreement will not become effective until the effective date of the transaction or, in the case of a takeover offer, the date on which the takeover offer has become or is declared unconditional in all respects. Until such time as the company borrows under the credit agreement, the company’s existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, will remain in effect.

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased 24.9% to $1.1 billion, from $862.1 million for the same period in 2007.  The increase in sales was driven by all three of our segments as each had higher sales in the first quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007.

 

Net sales from the Crane segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased 29.5% to $884.4 million versus $682.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased over the same period in the prior year in all major geographic regions.   The Crane segment continues to benefit from strong crane end-market demand for its products as well as increasing production levels within its factories and an increase in sales due to currency translation.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus the same period in 2007, the stronger Euro currency compared to the U.S. Dollar had an approximate $54.6 million favorable impact on sales.  As of March 31, 2008, total Crane segment backlog was $3.3 billion, a 13.1% increase over the December 31, 2007 backlog, which was $2.9 billion.

 

Net sales from the Foodservice segment increased 7.3% to $104.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus the three months ended March 31, 2007.    The increase in sales for the first quarter of 2008 over the same period in the prior year was driven by all regions and was primarily the result of both volume and pricing increases versus the prior year.

 

Net sales from our Marine segment increased 7.4% to $88.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 versus the first quarter of 2007.  The increase in sales during the first quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of increased contributions on government projects as well as a strong winter repair season.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $259.5 million, an increase of $64.2 million over the consolidated gross profit of $195.3 million for the same period in 2007.  The increase in consolidated gross profit was driven by significantly higher gross profit in the Crane segment on increased volume, productivity gains and favorable mix.  In addition, Marine segment gross profit was favorably impacted by a strong winter repair season and increased contributions on government and commercial projects.  Foodservice gross margin was up slightly from the prior year primarily due to both volume and pricing increases versus the prior year.

 

Engineering, selling and administrative (ES&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2008 increased approximately $21.2 million to $115.0 million versus $93.8 million for the first quarter of 2007.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $4.6 million of this increase related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  In addition, corporate expenses were $1.6 million higher in the current

 

22



 

quarter versus the prior year’s quarter.  The remainder of the increase in ES&A expenses resulted from increased research and development expenses, higher selling costs due to the increase in sales, and higher employee related costs.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, ES&A as a percentage of sales was 10.7% versus 10.9% for the first quarter of 2007.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Crane segment reported operating earnings of $133.0 million compared to $95.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Operating earnings of the Crane segment for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were favorably affected by increased volume across all regions, favorable product mix, and continued productivity gains from our factories.  Operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 15.0% versus 14.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Favorable pricing levels, strong factory performance and controlled spending in all our regions contributed to the gains in margin.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, operating earnings were positively affected by approximately $6.6 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

First quarter 2008 Foodservice segment operating earnings were $12.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million versus the first quarter of 2007.   First quarter operating earnings were favorably impacted by a pricing increase, increased sales volume, favorable mix of product sold, and product cost reductions.  Partially offsetting these favorable items were higher raw material costs.

 

Marine segment operating earnings increased $4.7 million to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2008 versus the first quarter of 2007.  First quarter 2008 operating earnings were favorably affected by improved manufacturing performance on longer-term government contracts and a strong winter repair season.  First quarter 2008 winter repair operating earnings increased approximately $1.9 million versus the first quarter of 2007.  The first quarter 2007 operating margin of the Marine segment was adversely impacted by the fact that a significant percentage of the Marine segment results were from a relatively low margin military vessel contract which is a first-run prototype vessel that is structured as a cost plus contract.

 

Corporate expenses increased $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2008 versus the first quarter of 2007.  This increase was primarily the result higher employee-related costs and higher professional service fees.

 

Analysis of Non-Operating Income Statement Items

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6.7 million compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease resulted from the redemption of the 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2012 during August of 2007. This decrease was slightly offset by an increase in the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 28.4% and 30.0%, respectively.

 

Earnings from operations were $102.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $64.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Financial Condition

 

First Quarter of 2008

 

Cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2008 was $350.2 million, which was a reduction of $16.2 million from the December 31, 2007 balance of $366.4 million.  Cash flow from operations for the first three months of 2008 was $11.8 million compared to a use of cash of $40.3 million for the first quarter of 2007.  Cash flow for the first three months of 2008 was driven by $102.7 million of net earnings, an increase of $38.6 million over the same period for 2007.  Cash flow from operations was negatively impacted by an increase in inventory of $156.1 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $34.5 million.  The increase in inventory was due to higher order backlog and an increase in sales volumes, both in the Crane segment.  The increase in accounts receivable was driven primarily by an increase in sales volumes.  Accounts payable, accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities, and non-cash items positively impacted cash flow from operations by $99.7 million.  This increase was driven primarily by an increase in accounts payable related to the increase in inventory in the Crane segment.

 

On March 6, 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (TaiAn Dongyue) for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisition, net of cash acquired, within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

 

Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2008 were $28.1 million versus $10.6 million during the first quarter of 2007. A

 

23



 

majority of the capital expenditures are related to general factory improvements, machinery and tooling purchases, and costs related to the implementation of an ERP system in our Crane segment

 

First Quarter of 2007

 

Cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2007 was $140.1 million, which was a reduction of $33.6 million from the December 31, 2006 balance of $173.7 million.  Cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $40.3 million compared to a use of cash of $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2006.  During the first quarter of 2007 both inventories and accounts receivable increased by $81.4 million and $59.6 million, respectively.  This is primarily due to the increased production and sales in the Crane segment as well as traditional seasonal increases in the Foodservice segment.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2007 we made a $27.2 million cash contribution to fully fund the U.S. pension plans and a tax payment of $15.0 million.

 

On January 3, 2007, we acquired the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes from Marine Travelift, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.  The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisition, net of cash acquired within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

 

Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2007 were $10.6 million versus $10.4 million during the first quarter of 2006.  A majority of the capital expenditures related to machinery and tooling for our three segments.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement with both a major software and a consulting firm to purchase software and consulting services needed to implement an ERP system in our Crane segment.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our outstanding debt at March 31, 2008 consisted of $47.1 million outstanding under our secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility), $150.0 million of 7 1/8% senior notes due 2013 (Senior Notes due 2013), and $40.6 million of other debt and capital leases.

 

On August 1, 2007, we redeemed our 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we paid the note holders 105.25 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The total cash payment for the redemption was $129.6 million As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of $12.5 million ($8.1 million net of income taxes) related to the call premium, the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Our Revolving Credit Facility has $300 million of initial borrowing capacity and provides us the ability to increase the capacity by an additional $250 million during the life of the facility under the same terms.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the credit agreement. The annual commitment fee in effect at March 31, 2008 on the unused portion of the secured revolving credit facility was 0.15%. As of March 31, 2008, we had $47.1 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.82%.

 

The Senior Notes due 2013 are unsecured senior obligations ranking prior to our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. Indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility ranks equally with the Senior Notes due 2013, except that the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 is payable semiannually in May and November each year.  The Senior Notes due 2013 can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after November 1, 2008.

 

As of March 31, 2008, we also had outstanding $40.6 million of other indebtedness with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.2%. This debt includes outstanding bank overdrafts in Asia and Europe, and various capital leases.

 

As of March 31, 2008, we had two fixed-to-floating rate swap contracts which effectively converted $50.0 million of our fixed rate Senior Notes due 2013 to variable rate debt.  These contracts are considered to be hedges against changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt obligation.  Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2008. Debt is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate risk being hedged. The fair value of these contracts, which represents the cost to settle these contracts, resulted in a gain of approximately $0.9 million at March 31, 2008.

 

Our Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes due 2013 contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. In general, the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility are more restrictive than those of the Senior Notes due 2013. Among other restrictions, these covenants require us to meet specified financial tests, which include the following: consolidated interest coverage ratio; consolidated total leverage ratio; and consolidated senior leverage ratio. These covenants also limit, among other things, our ability to redeem or repurchase our debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains cross-default provisions whereby certain defaults under any other debt agreements would result in default under the Revolving Credit Facility. We

were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2008, and based upon our current plans and outlook, we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months.

We have entered into an accounts receivable securitization program whereby we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables. New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. We have retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against us for uncollectible receivables; however, our retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser’s interest and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and our collection history, the fair value of our retained interest approximates book value. The total capacity of this facility is $105 million as of March 31, 2008. The accounts receivable balances sold from the special purpose subsidiary was $95.0 million at March 31, 2008. The retained interest recorded at March 31, 2008 is $62.0 million, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

On April 14, 2008, the company and Enodis plc (“Enodis”) issued a Rule 2.5 Announcement pursuant to the U.K. Takeover Code, whereby the company announced that Enodis and the company have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer for the acquisition of all of the issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Enodis.  The company and Enodis also entered into an Implementation Agreement to facilitate the completion of the acquisition.  Enodis is a global company focused on the design, manufacture and supply of food and beverage equipment.  Completion of this acquisition is subject to court approval in the U.K., the approval of Enodis shareholders, as well as regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions.  The purchase price was expected to be approximately $2.1 billion including the net debt of Enodis. On May 8, 2008, Enodis and Illinois Tool Works, Inc. (“ITW”) issued a Rule 2.5 Announcement indicating that ITW has made a competing offer for the shares of Enodis, and the directors of Enodis have withdrawn their recommendation of the company’s offer and will unanimously recommend that the Enodis shareholders vote in favor of the ITW offer.  The company is considering its position with respect to Enodis and will make a further announcement in due course.

 

Concurrent with the company’s offer, the company also announced that it has entered into a $2.4 billion credit agreement in connection with the potential acquisition.  The obligations of the lenders to make loans and of the issuing bank to issue letters of credit under the credit agreement will not become effective until the effective date of the transaction or, in the case of a takeover offer, the date on which the takeover offer has become or is declared unconditional in all respects. Until such time as the company borrows under the credit agreement, the company’s existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, will remain in effect.

 

Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) How and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and 3) How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on disclosures of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations “,which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:  (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141(R) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled.  SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”).  A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.  SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the company did not elect the fair value option for any such eligible financial assets or financial liabilities as of March 31, 2008.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-b which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FAS 157 and FSP 157-b are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have elected a partial deferral of SFAS 157 under the provisions of FSP 157-b related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit or disposal activities. The impact of partially adopting SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”   This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  FIN No. 48 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.  Upon the adoption of FIN No. 48, we recognized an additional tax liability of $10.8 million and a corresponding reduction  in retained earnings recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2007.

 

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  SFAS No. 156, amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 140, by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.   The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.”  SFAS No. 155 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133, primarily related to hybrid financial instruments and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, as well as amends SFAS No. 140, related to eliminating a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) may hold. SFAS No. 155 was effective for us on January 1, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based on such evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  During the period covered by this report, we made no changes which have materially affected, or which are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
