1. | Going Concern Opinion | |
Proliance International, Inc. (the Company or the Plan Sponsor) received a going concern opinion on the audit of its financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and is still dealing with significant financial uncertainties as of the date of the audit opinion. This is due to the circumstances described in the Companys Form 10-K filing on March 24, 2009 and Form 10-Q filing for the period ended March 31, 2009 filed on May 6, 2009. Managements plans to alleviate the factors that raise the going concern are also outlined in these public filings. The status of the Plan and its ability to continue will depend on the Companys ability to address these issues. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to address its financial uncertainties or what impact these uncertainties will have on the Plan. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Plans ability to continue as a going concern. The assets of the 401 (k) Savings Plan are separate from the assets of the Company and as such are not directly impacted by the actions of the Company, except as to the valuation of shares of the Companys common stock held by participants. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Note 8 regarding the impacts of plan termination. | ||
2. | Description of the Plan | |
The Proliance International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan established for the benefit of non-union, and certain union employees of Proliance International, Inc. (the Company) and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | ||
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General | ||
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company. All non-union and certain union employees of the Company are entitled to participate in the Plan after they become eligible employees, as defined by the Plan. To become eligible to participate in the Plan, an employee must complete three months of eligible service and be 20 1/2 years of age or older. |
6
Contributions | ||
For the Plan years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, non-highly and highly compensated participants were allowed to contribute up to the lesser of 15 percent and 12 percent of pretax compensation, as defined in the Plan, respectively, subject to annual limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Participants may also contribute to the Plan amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans. Participants may direct the investment of their contributions into various options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers 11 mutual funds, a collective trust fund and a Proliance International, Inc. common stock fund as investment options for participants. In addition, the Company offers participants the ability to diversify their savings portfolio using four portfolio risk models developed by Merrill Lynch. These four models (moderate to aggressive model, moderate model, conservative to moderate model and conservative model) invest a percentage of the participants portfolio in existing plan funds based upon the desired investment risk of the participant. Employees can also invest all or any percentage of their savings portfolio in a self-directed brokerage account. This allows the employee to trade securities on line with the assistance of a Merrill Lynch representative. Participants pay all transaction fees, including an annual participation fee, associated with the self-directed brokerage accounts. The Plan provides for automatic enrollment of all eligible employees upon meeting the age and service requirements as defined in the Plan. Unless otherwise directed by the employee, upon meeting the eligibility requirements, the compensation of the employee will be automatically reduced by 2 percent effective with the first pay period that includes the first of the month immediately following the month in which the employee meets the Plans eligibility requirements. Effective December 24, 2007, unless a participant affirmatively directs otherwise, amounts contributed to the Plan under this provision will be invested in the Merrill Lynch GoalManager Moderate Portfolio Model. Prior to this date, the investment default was the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust. | ||
The Plan provided that the Company would make matching contributions in an amount equal to 100 percent of the participants contribution up to 2 percent of the participants gross pay. See Note 9 for a Plan amendment effective March 29, 2009 regarding the Companys matching contribution. | ||
Participant Accounts | ||
The account of each participant reflects a separate record of participant and Company contributions, withdrawals, loans, administrative expenses, investment earnings and gains and losses. Allocations of net investment gains and losses, interest and dividend income, and administrative expenses are based upon participant account balances, as described in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. | ||
Vesting | ||
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. | ||
Participants become vested in Company matching contributions and related earnings thereon at a rate of 50 percent for each whole year of service and are 100 percent vested after two years of credited service. | ||
Participants also become fully vested in Company matching contributions and related earnings thereon upon attaining normal retirement age or if employment terminates as a result of death, disability or early retirement. | ||
Forfeitures of unvested Company matching contributions will be used first to offset Plan administration expenses. Any remaining forfeitures will be used to reduce Employer Contributions under the Plan. Finally, any remaining forfeitures will be allocated to Participants. |
7
Payment of Benefits | ||
On termination of employment, a participant may elect to receive a single lump-sum distribution equal to the value of the participants vested balance in his or her account. In the event that a participant terminates employment before attaining age 65, and the participants vested account balance has never exceeded $1,000, the entire vested account shall be payable in a single lump-sum. If the participants vested account balance has been greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000 at any time, and the participant does not elect a distribution, then the account balance will be rolled over to a Merrill Lynch IRA. If a participants vested account balance is greater than $5,000 at any time, the participant can elect to either receive his or her vested account balance in a single lump-sum distribution or defer distribution until he or she reaches age 65, or the current IRC limit of 701/2. | ||
Withdrawals and Loans | ||
A participant may withdraw all or any portion of his or her contributions, subject to proof of financial hardship due to an immediate and significant financial need as further described in the Plan document. The determination of financial hardship and the amount to be withdrawn is made by the Plan administrator in accordance with nondiscriminatory standards applied uniformly to all participants similarly situated. | ||
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the investment fund and the participant loan fund. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participants account and bear a reasonable rate of interest, as determined by the Plan administrator. Interest rates on loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 ranged from 5 percent to 9 1/4 percent. Principal and interest are paid in level payments not less frequently than quarterly, through payroll deductions. | ||
3. | Summary of Accounting Policies | |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies: | ||
Basis of Accounting | ||
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. | ||
Plan Expenses | ||
Certain general administrative expenses associated with the Plan are paid by the Company. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $33,057 and $46,438, for the plan years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which were not charged to the Plan. Loan recordkeeping and other miscellaneous expenses are charged to the Plan. |
8
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | ||
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company common stock fund is valued at its quoted market price. The collective trust fund is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Investment contracts are reported at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAF INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans. The insurance contract value, which represents net contributions plus interest at the contract rate, approximates fair value. The contracts are fully benefit-responsive. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Retirement Preservation Trust was 86.1% of the contract value, while at December 31, 2007 the fair value was 99.1% of the contract value. The average yield and crediting rate was 4.67% and 5.03% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Loans to participants are valued at the balance of amounts due, plus accrued interest thereon, which approximates fair value. | ||
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. | ||
Net depreciation in fair value of investments, which is presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, consists of realized gains or (losses), and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments. | ||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||
On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (FASB Statement No. 157), for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. | ||
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. | ||
The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including the plans own credit risk. | ||
In addition to defining fair value, SFAS No. 157 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in the measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
9
These levels are: |
Level 1 inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. | |||
Level 2 inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |||
Level 3 inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect managements estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. |
Payment of Benefits | ||
Benefits are recorded when paid. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Risks and Uncertainties | ||
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of mutual funds, a Proliance International, Inc. common stock fund, and a collective trust fund. 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 and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of 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 statements of assets available for benefits and changes in assets available for benefits. |

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. | ||
Money Market Funds: Valued at the account balance held by the plan at year end. | ||
Mutual Funds: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the plan at year end. | ||
Common Collective Trusts: Valued based on the contractual terms of the underlying Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs). | ||
Participant Loans: Valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. | ||
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. | ||
6. | Tax Status | |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated January 28, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan, as amended, is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. | ||
7. | Party-In-Interest Transactions | |
Merrill Lynch is the trustee and custodian as defined in the Plan document, and, therefore, transactions in the Merrill Lynch accounts qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to Merrill Lynch for loan recordkeeping fees and other miscellaneous expenses for the plan years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $7,663 and $6,815, respectively. | ||
The Plan allows participants to purchase common stock of the Company, and therefore, transactions involving the Companys common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. | ||
As noted in Note 2, the Plan also provides for participant loans. | ||
8. | Plan Termination | |
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will immediately become 100 percent vested in the Company matching contributions and related earnings thereon in their accounts. See Note 9 for disclosure concerning the Companys matching contribution. | ||
9. | Subsequent Events | |
Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan was amended to eliminate the 15% limit on compensation deferrals for employees. | ||
Effective for pay periods beginning on and after March 29, 2009, the Plan has been amended to cease Company matching contributions for all non-collectively bargained participants. |
