Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share information)


1.	Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 included on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.


2.	Description of Business

CPM Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “CPM” or “Parent”), is engaged in the design, production and marketing of process systems, equipment and parts and services utilized primarily in the agricultural and food producing/processing industries. The Company’s businesses fall into three reporting segments: Process Equipment, Engineered Process Systems and All Other.

The Process Equipment segment manufactures and sells process machinery and other equipment utilized primarily in the agricultural and food producing/processing industries. Products include the manufacture of mills, flakers, and dryers.

The Engineered Process Systems segment sells engineering, design and layout services along with outsourced process equipment for oilseed processing, biodiesel and edible oil refining industries.

The All Other segment designs, manufactures and sells process machinery for the plastics compounding, two-piece beverage container and other industries.

Operations are worldwide and include production and sales facilities in the United States, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, China, Brazil and Argentina.


3.	Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlled, majority owned subsidiaries. The Company classifies noncontrolling interest as part of consolidated net income (loss) and includes the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interest as part of equity. Noncontrolling interest primarily relates to the minority shareholder of Wuhan Crown Friendship Edible Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., the Company's joint venture in China. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted customer deposits, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying values approximated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, restricted customer deposits, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and the revolving credit facility loan because of the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the senior notes, as determined by management based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues of debt (classified as level 2) is approximately $186,000 and $172,000 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement - referred to as the statement of comprehensive income - or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Each component of net income and each component of other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts - net income and other comprehensive income, would need to be displayed under either alternative. The new requirements are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company believes this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations and is currently evaluating the impact on the form and content of the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2011, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” This new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to evaluate if the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. After assessing the totality of events or circumstances, if it is determined it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Otherwise, the entity is required to perform Step 1 of the impairment test. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to Step 1 of the two-step impairment test, and then resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. Reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts continue to be required to perform a qualitative assessment in place of Step 1 of the impairment test. FASB ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

5.	Acquisitions

2011 Acquisition

On September 13, 2011, the Company purchased Kimba Germany GMBH, Cimbria SKET GMBH and a 51% holding in MDV Magdeburg-Dessauer GMBH (altogether referred to as "Sket") for $23,252. Direct acquisition costs totaling $443 in fiscal 2011 and $41 in fiscal 2012 were expensed as incurred. Sket provides engineered solutions and process equipment in preparation, refining and oleochemical processing and compliments the Company's existing businesses by broadening product portfolios, engineering capabilities, application expertise, and worldwide market coverage. The acquisition was funded through available cash. The pro forma impact of the Sket acquisition was not significant to the results of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Sket results have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

Table of Contents

CPM Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share information)



Cash	$	2,952
Accounts receivable	7,935
Costs in excess of billings	3,641
Property, plant and equipment	243
Goodwill	14,532
Other intangibles	5,794
Accounts payable	(5,728		)
Accrued expenses	(2,774		)
Billings in excess of costs	(1,449		)
Deferred taxes	(1,894		)
	$	23,252

The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We believe this acquisition resulted in goodwill as it broadens product portfolios, engineering capabilities, application expertise, and worldwide market coverage.The identifiable other intangibles for Sket include trade names, customer relationships, customer contracts, and software and are amortized over a period of one to ten years with a weighted average useful life of seven years.


6.	Debt

The Company’s debt at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, consists of the following:



	September 30, 2011		March 31, 2012
Senior Notes, net of unamortized discount	$	172,796	$	159,831
Revolving credit facility loan	—		65
	172,796		159,896
Less: Amounts due within one year	—		(65		)
	$	172,796	$	159,831

In August 2009, the Company issued $200,000 of Senior Notes due September 1, 2014 at 98.101% of par (the “Senior Notes”), resulting in an original issue discount of $3,798. The original issue discount, net of accumulated amortization was $2,139 and $1,679 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The original issue discount is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. The Senior Notes bear interest at 10.625% per year and provide for semi-annual interest payments, in arrears, due on March 1 and September 1. All principal will be paid at maturity. The net proceeds from the offering were used to retire the remaining outstanding borrowings on the previous term loan and revolving credit facility, which provided for a term loan of $210,000 and a revolving credit facility up to $30,000.

The Senior Notes are subject to certain covenants and restrictions, such as restrictions on the payment of dividends, incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, issuance of preferred stock or entering into certain merger transactions, as defined by the Senior Notes Offering Memorandum. The Senior Notes are collateralized by a second priority interest in the Company’s U.S. current assets and a first priority interest in substantially all of the Company’s U.S. other assets. The Senior Notes are also guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries.

The Senior Notes contain an optional redemption feature whereby the Company can redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes, including applicable premiums for early redemptions as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Senior Notes have a change of control provision which gives each holder the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holders’ Senior Notes upon a change in control, as defined in the agreement, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

During 2011, the Company repurchased Senior Notes having a face value of $25,065 in the open market. As a result of the repurchases, the Company recorded a loss of $2,012 which represents the difference between the acquired debt's purchase price of $26,765 and its carrying value of $24,753. This loss is included in interest expense in the

Table of Contents

CPM Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share information)

consolidated statements of operations. At the time of the repurchases, the Company also wrote off $836 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the repurchased debt.

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company repurchased Senior Notes having a face value of $13,425 in the open market. As a result of the repurchases, the Company recorded a loss of $1,000 which represents the difference between the acquired debt's purchase price of $14,262 and its carrying value of $13,262. This loss is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. At the time of the repurchases, the Company also wrote off $441 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the repurchased debt.

In November 2009, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions which provides for a revolving credit facility consisting of a revolving credit loan and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $14,500, including swing line loans in the principal amount of $5,000. The swing line loans are sub-facilities of the revolving credit facility used for daily fluctuations on borrowings. Loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility were $0 and $65 as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012. The availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on the eligible receivables, inventory and certain other commitments of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. The credit available for borrowing was limited by the borrowing base to $14,500 and $5,138 on September 30, 2011 or March 31, 2012. The Credit Agreement expires on April 20, 2013.

At the Company’s option, borrowings under the revolving credit facility are either Base Rate loans, bearing interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) the lender’s prime rate (3.25% at March 31, 2012), (b) the LIBOR rate (0.24% at March 31, 2012) plus 1.00% or (c) the federal funds rate (0.09% at March 31, 2012) plus 0.50%; or Eurodollar loans, bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR rate (0.33% at March 31, 2012). Interest on the Base Rate loans is payable on the last day of each calendar month. Interest on the Eurodollar loans is payable on the last day of each interest period relating to such loan, but not to exceed six months. An applicable margin is added for the Base Rate loans and Eurodollar loans ranging from 2.75% and 4.25%, based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio at the end of a given period, as further defined in the Credit Agreement.

Commitment fees on the revolving credit facility range from 0.625% to 0.75% per year payable quarterly in amounts. Commitment fees on the letters of credit vary, as further defined in the Credit Agreement, and range from 3.75% to 4.25% (or 2.00% if cash collateralized) payable quarterly. Total commitment fees under the revolving credit facility were $31 and $17 for the three month periods ending March 31, 2011, and 2012, respectively, and $59 and $30 for the six month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Outstanding letters of credit were $4,183 and $9,735 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively. In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement in fiscal 2010, the Company paid $914 in costs capitalized as deferred financing fees, consisting of legal, accounting and deal fees directly related to consummation of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to certain restrictive financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also includes a subjective acceleration clause which permits the financial institution to accelerate the due date of the facility under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, material adverse effect on the Company’s financial status or otherwise. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all U.S. current assets of the Company and are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain all of its U.S. lockbox accounts, disbursement accounts and other operating accounts with the lenders.


7.	Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. We have adequately provided for liabilities resulting from tax assessments by taxing authorities, positions taken by these tax authorities could have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate in future periods.

Environmental Health and Safety Matters

We are subject to a variety of environmental standards imposed by federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air, water and land, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the responsibility to investigate and cleanup contaminated sites that are or were owned, leased, operated or used by us or our predecessors.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


9.	Segment and Geographic Data

The Company identified three reportable segments: Process Equipment, Engineered Process Systems and All Other. Segment selection was based on the internal organizational structure, management of operations and performance evaluation by the chief operating decision maker.

Corporate and Unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be nonallocable to the segments, interest income, interest expense and income taxes. Assets included in Corporate and Unallocated principally are cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid expenses and other current assets, and deferred taxes. Segment allocated assets are primarily accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other assets. Reconciling items included in Corporate and Unallocated are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and the consolidated, external reporting as well as internal allocation methodologies.

Segment detail is summarized as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The statements in this discussion regarding market conditions and outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2011. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Overview

Company Overview

We are a global leader in the design, production and marketing of high-quality, efficient, durable process systems, equipment and after-market parts and services for the oilseed, animal feed, breakfast cereal and snack food and biofuels processing industries. We believe that we have the number one or number two global market position, based on sales revenue, in each of our core markets. We have an installed base of more than 10,000 proprietary machines and provided after-market parts and services to over 2,500 customers in fiscal 2011. We serve a diverse customer base from small independent producers to large, blue-chip companies. We employ a flexible, modular design philosophy which minimizes engineering investment while meeting exacting customer requirements. We outsource most of our machining and fabrication of components and perform assembly and testing either in-house or at the customer’s location. This business model provides a flexible cost structure and limits capital expenditure requirements.

Business Segments

We operate our company through three business segments: our Engineered Process Systems segment, our Process Equipment segment, and All Other. Our Process Equipment segment manufactures and sells process machinery and other equipment utilized primarily in the agricultural and food producing/processing industries. Our Engineered Process Systems segment sells engineering, design and layout services, along with outsourced process equipment, for the oilseed processing, biodiesel and edible oil refining industries. The remainder of our business is included in our All Other segment and involves the design, manufacturing and selling of process machinery for the plastics compounding, two-piece beverage container and other industries.

Market Conditions and Outlook

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, our net sales and operating income increased at each of our business segments when compared to the six months ended March 31, 2011. These results are consistent with the increase in our backlog and the improvements in our end markets. We believe that our improved performance will continue at each of our business units through the remainder of fiscal 2012. This belief is supported by our increasing backlog as evidenced below. There can be no assurance, however, that our performance in fiscal 2012 will meet our forecast.

Due to our high level of outsourcing, we continue to be able to rapidly adjust our operations in response to the improving market conditions. This allows us to take advantage of the new opportunities as they are presented.

Backlog

As of March 31, 2012, we had a consolidated backlog of $267.9 million. This figure compares to a consolidated backlog of $266.1 million and $237.0 million at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. An order normally becomes part of our backlog after we receive a customer down payment or a letter of credit against the order. Our backlog is a measure of unrecognized revenue on booked orders. Our backlog provides revenue visibility into the next three to 18 months, depending on project lead-times and delivery requirements. Historically, once placed in our backlog, our customers have rarely canceled orders. There can be no assurance, however, that our consolidated backlog will convert into revenue.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $51.0 million, or 59.3%, to $136.9 million from $86.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011. In our Process Equipment segment, net sales increased by $8.6 million, or 24.0%, to $44.2 million compared to $35.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011. Sales of oilseed processing equipment increased by $5.4 million, primarily in Latin America and Europe and sales of thermal processing equipment increased by $1.8 million, primarily in Asia.

Net sales in our Engineered Process Systems segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $38.4 million, or 94.1%, to $79.3 million compared to $40.8 million for the corresponding period in 2011. Overall, sales of oilseed processing equipment increased by $17.3 million as sales increases to Europe and Latin America were offset slightly by decreases to the United States. In addition, biodiesel sales increased by $8.4 million, primarily in Latin America and refining equipment sales increased by $12.7 million, primarily in Europe and Latin America. The acquisition of Sket in September of 2011 contributed $9.8 million of the increases achieved in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011.

Net sales in our All Other segment increased $4.0 million, or 42.2%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $9.5 million for the corresponding period in 2011, due to increased thermal processing equipment sales of $5.5 million, primarily in Asia. This increase was partially offset by decreased extrusion parts and machinery sales of $1.8 million.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $40.0 million from $59.4 million or 69.1% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $99.4 million, or 72.6% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. A primary factor in the increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was the proportion of sales at each segment. Our Engineered Process Systems segment, which historically generates our lowest profit margins accounted for 58% of our total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 48% of our total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased slightly for our Engineered Process Systems segment and our All Other segment due to larger projects with slightly lower margins. These increases were offset slightly by decreases in cost of good sold as a percentage of net sales for our Process Equipment segment caused by efficiencies achieved due to higher volume.

Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $11.0 million, or 41.3%, to $37.5 million, or 27.4% of net sales, from $26.6 million, or 30.9% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $13.2 million for the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of approximately $0.8 million, or 6.7%. The

increase reflects the inclusion of $1.1 million in SG&A expenses of Sket for the three months ended March 31, 2012 which had not yet been acquired during the corresponding period in 2011. This was offset slightly by non-recurring legal and accounting expenses of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to our Registration Statement on Amended Form S-4 filed with the SEC on May 16, 2011. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased from 14.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 9.6% for the corresponding period in the current year. The percentage decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is a direct result of the fixed nature of a majority of our SG&A expenses leveraging our increase in sales.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and are comprised primarily of amortization expense and management fees. Both amortization expense and management fees were consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income from operations. Income from operations increased from $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $21.2 million during the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of $11.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations increased from 12.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of the factors mentioned above, particularly the increased sales.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $4.6 million compared to $5.5 million, for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease of $0.9 million in interest expense is proportionate to the decrease in outstanding senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The provision for income taxes reflects the combined federal, state and foreign effective tax rate of approximately 45.4% and 35.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our combined effective tax rate reflects the different federal, state and foreign statutory rates of the various jurisdictions in which we operate and the proportion of taxable income earned in each of those tax jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes for the three months periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 differs from the expected income tax expense computed by applying the statutory United States federal tax rates to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book income and taxable income, fluctuations in our reserve for uncertain tax positions and our limited ability to utilize foreign tax credits to offset U.S. tax liabilities.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. This is the net income attributable to our joint venture partner. The decrease of $0.2 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $1.0 million for the corresponding period in 2012 is a result of the decreased profitability of our Chinese joint venture.

Net income attributable to parent company. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to six months ended March 31, 2011

Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $61.0 million, or 34.6%, to $237.4 million from $176.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011. In our Process Equipment segment, net sales increased by $9.5 million, or 13.5%, to $79.9 million compared to $70.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011. This increase was attributable to increased oilseed processing equipment sales of $5.5 million, primarily in Latin America and Asia, increased thermal processing equipment sales of $1.8 million, primarily in Europe and Asia, and increased biomass pelleting equipment sales of $1.3 million, primarily in Europe.

Net sales in our Engineered Process Systems segment for the six months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $45.4 million, or 53.0%, to $130.9 million compared to $85.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The acquisition of Sket in September of 2011 contributed $14.4 million of the increase. Overall, refining equipment sales increased by $17.1 million and biodiesel equipment sales increased by $15.9 million primarily in Europe and Latin America. Sales of oilseed processing equipment increased by $12.4 million in total as increases in North America, Latin America and Europe were offset by decreases in sales to Asia.

Net sales in our All Other segment increased $6.1 million, or 29.6%, to $26.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012, from $20.5 million for the corresponding period in 2011, due to increased thermal processing equipment sales of $4.1 million, primarily in and Asia and increased extrusion parts and machinery sales of $1.5 million, primarily in the United States.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $41.2 million from $127.2 million or 72.1% of net sales, for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $168.4 million, or 70.9% of net sales, for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased in our Process Equipment and Engineered Process Systems segments and remained constant

in our All Other segment. The decrease at our Process Equipment segment was driven primarily by improved pricing as market conditions have returned to normal combined with efficiencies gained due to increased volume. The decreases experienced at our Engineered Process Systems segment are primarily a result of reduced volume and improved profitability in Asia. Sales to Asia, where we generally experience our lowest margins, accounted for 52% of the total sales volume for the Engineered Process Systems segment for the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 26% for the six months ended March 31, 2012. These decreases were offset slightly by an increase caused by the change in the proportion of sales by each segment to total sales. Our Engineered Process Systems segment, which historically generates our lowest profit margins accounted for 55% of our total sales for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 49% of our total sales for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $19.7 million, or 40.0%, to $69.0 million, or 29.1% of net sales, from $49.3 million, or 27.9% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased from $23.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $27.5 million for the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of approximately $4.2 million, or 18.0%. The increase reflects the inclusion of $2.2 million in SG&A expenses of Sket for the six months ended March 31, 2012 which had not yet been acquired during the corresponding period in 2011. In addition, $0.6 million of bad debt recoveries on large projects in Asia reduced the SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2011, and direct selling costs increased during the six months ended March 31, 2012 resulting from higher net sales. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased from 13.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to 11.6% for the corresponding period in the current year. The percentage decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is a direct result of the fixed nature of a majority of our SG&A expenses.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased from $6.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $7.2 million for the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of approximately $0.8 million. The increase relates primarily to a $0.6 million increase in management fees and a $0.1 increase in amortization expense.

Income from operations. Income from operations increased from $19.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $34.3 million during the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of $14.8 million. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations increased from 11.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to 14.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of the factors mentioned above, particularly the increased sales.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, for the six months ended March 31, 2012, was $10.3 million, compared to $10.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease of $0.5 million resulted from a decrease in interest accrued on the senior notes in the amount of $1.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011 resulting from the lower outstanding balance on the senior notes. That decrease was partially offset by a $1.0 million loss on repurchases of senior notes and a $0.4 million write off of deferred financing costs related to the repurchased notes included as a component of interest expense during the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $10.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $3.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The provision for income taxes reflects the combined federal, state and foreign effective tax rate of approximately 44.7% and 36.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our combined effective tax rate reflects the different federal, state and foreign statutory rates of the various jurisdictions in which we operate and the proportion of taxable income earned in each of those tax jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes for the six months periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 differs from the expected income tax expense computed by applying the statutory United States federal tax rates to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book income and taxable income, the release and recording of valuation allowances against foreign losses, fluctuations in our reserve for uncertain tax positions and our limited ability to utilize foreign tax credits to offset U.S. tax liabilities.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. This is the net income attributable to our joint venture partner. The decrease of $0.3 million from $2.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $2.1 million for the corresponding period in 2012 is a result of the decreased profitability of our Chinese joint venture.

Net income attributable to parent company. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $3.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 to $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our net cash from our operating activities, investing activities and financing activities and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2012:



	Six Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2011			2012
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	13,848		$	(9,138	)
Investing activities	(457		)	(1,113		)
Financing activities	—			(19,212		)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	1,915			1,776
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	15,306		$	(27,687	)

We have historically financed operations with internally generated funds. Accordingly, we have traditionally not needed to access the capital markets in order to finance our ongoing operations.

Net cash flow used by operating activities was $9.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13.8 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in cash provided by (used in) operating activities of $22.9 million reflects the increase in net income of $7.7 million to $13.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012 includes non-cash losses on the repurchase of senior notes of $1.4 million including the write-off of related deferred financing costs. There were no such repurchases during the six months ended March 31, 2011. Cash increases related to net income plus non-cash losses were offset by cash decreases of $30.8 million related to fluctuations in working capital balances. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, fluctuations in working capital were a use of cash of $33.3 million comprised of decreases in cash caused by the fluctuations of restricted customer deposits, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in cash caused by the fluctuations of accounts receivable and accounts payable. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, fluctuations in working capital were a use of cash of $2.4 million comprised of decreases in cash caused by fluctuations of restricted customer deposits, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and inventory, partially offset by increases in cash caused by fluctuations in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and accrued expenses.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively and related to capital expenditures net of proceeds on disposal.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was $0.0 million and $19.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The use of cash during the six months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily for the repurchase of senior notes of $14.3 million and the payment of dividends of $5.0 million to our joint venture partner in China.

In November 2009, we entered into a U.S. based senior secured revolving credit facility. Our senior secured revolving credit facility provides up to $14.5 million of revolving credit borrowings, subject to a borrowing base, which is based on the eligible accounts receivable and inventory of our U.S subsidiaries less our aggregate net exposure under permitted hedging obligations and subject to certain reserves. The credit facility expires on April 20, 2013. A portion of the availability under the credit facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and that the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit will reduce availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to certain restrictive covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio. At March 31, 2012, we had $14.5 million of unused credit under this facility, of which $5.1 million was available for borrowing based on our borrowing base calculation.

We believe that our operating cash flow and amounts available for borrowing under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Financial Covenants

We are subject to certain restrictive financial covenants contained in our senior secured revolving credit facility including a fixed charge coverage ratio. At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks, which include changes in interest rate, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes. There have been no material changes in this item from the discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term as defined under Rule 13a-15e promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
