PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Automotive Holdings Corp. (“SAHC”). SAHC owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Stanadyne”). A majority of the outstanding common stock of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). Collectively, Holdings, SAHC and Stanadyne hereinafter are referred to as the “Company.” Holdings and Stanadyne are separate reporting companies. The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered, precision manufactured engine components, including fuel injection equipment for diesel engines. With over 130 years of machining experience and over 50 years as a supplier of diesel fuel injection equipment, Stanadyne’s core competencies in product design, precision machining, and the assembly and testing of complex components have earned the Company a reputation for innovative, high quality products. The Company possesses an extremely broad range of manufacturing technology and know-how and is capable of high-volume production runs, machining high-quality components within tolerances of 20 millionths of an inch on a cost-effective basis. In addition to designing and manufacturing, the Company has been successfully pursuing business to manufacture and assemble, on an exclusive contract basis, components designed by other companies.

The Company sells engine components to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in a variety of applications, including agricultural and construction vehicles and equipment, industrial products, automobiles, light duty trucks and marine equipment. The aftermarket is a core element of the Company’s operations. The Company sells replacement parts and units through all appropriate global channels to service its products, including the service organizations of its OEM customers, its own authorized network of distributors and dealers, and major aftermarket distribution companies. Since the sale of wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision Engine Products Corp. (“PEPC” or “Precision Engine”), on July 31, 2006, the Company conducts its business through a single segment, the Precision Products and Technologies Group (“Precision Products”). Because of the sale of PEPC, certain amounts related to PEPC are presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented. Revenues, expenses and costs have been excluded from the respective captions and reported as loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for all periods presented.

Stanadyne, a Delaware corporation formed in 1988, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAHC, a Delaware corporation formed in 1997. SAHC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed in 2004 and formerly known as KSTA Holdings, Inc. A majority of the outstanding equity of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C., an affiliate of Kohlberg and Company L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). On August 6, 2004, Kohlberg, through a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) purchased the outstanding equity of SAHC from American Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. (“AIP”) and certain other stockholders (the “Sellers”). AIP had purchased Stanadyne from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997.

OVERVIEW

Subsequent to the sale of PEPC, Stanadyne is comprised of one reportable segment. Stanadyne is one of only five independent worldwide manufacturers selling to the geographic areas in which the Company competes. Net sales for Stanadyne were $277.5 million, $292.5 million and $304.6 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating income for Stanadyne was $34.5 million, $39.1 million and $26.2 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total assets of Stanadyne were $419.8 million and $434.6 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Products. Stanadyne manufactures its own proprietary products including pumps for gasoline engines and diesel engines (up to 250 horsepower, an engine range comprising approximately 90% of all diesel engines produced worldwide), injectors and filtration systems for diesel engines and various non-proprietary products manufactured under contract for other companies. Stanadyne sells its fuel injection products to its customers on an individual component basis or by complete line. The primary focus of Stanadyne is the agricultural and industrial off-highway segments of the market. Fuel pumps and injectors, Stanadyne’s primary products, are the most highly engineered, precision manufactured components on a diesel engine and comprise the core components of a diesel engine’s fuel system. Because fuel system components are so elemental to the proper functioning and optimal performance of a diesel engine, they are essentially custom engineered for a specific engine platform. As a result, the Company typically supplies these components on a sole source basis for the life of engine platforms and enjoys a leading position in the aftermarket. Stanadyne also manufactures diesel fuel management systems including fuel filters, fuel heaters and water separators, oil pumps and other precision manufactured components and distributes diesel fuel conditioners, stabilizers and diesel engine diagnostic equipment. Due to its competencies in precision manufacturing, assembly and testing of complex products, the Company has been successfully pursuing business to manufacture and assemble, on an exclusive contract basis, components designed by other companies.

Customers. Stanadyne’s primary customers are OEMs of diesel engines. Stanadyne’s largest customers, Deere & Company (“Deere”), General Engine Products, Inc. (“GEP”) and Cummins, Inc. (“Cummins”) accounted for approximately $129.1 million, or approximately 46.5% of Stanadyne’s 2008 net sales. In 2007, Deere, GEP, and Cummins accounted for approximately $148.4 million, or approximately 50.7% of Stanadyne’s 2007 net sales. In 2006, Deere, GEP, Cummins and General Motors Corporation (“GM”) accounted for approximately $179.7 million, or approximately 59% of Stanadyne’s 2006 net sales. Deere was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of Stanadyne’s net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, at 32.4%, 39.9% and 39.7%, respectively. Effective November 1, 2006, Stanadyne and Deere entered into a five-year supply agreement.

Stanadyne supports the servicing of its own products through sales of aftermarket units and parts to the service organizations of its OEM customers, through its own global network of authorized distributors and dealers, and through major aftermarket distribution companies. Total shipments to all service market channels represented 43.5%, 41.0% and 40.9% of Stanadyne’s sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Joint Venture. The Company has a joint venture with Amalgamations Private Limited in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The joint venture is named Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”) and started manufacturing diesel fuel injection equipment for export markets in the second quarter of 2003. Stanadyne holds a 51% controlling share of SAPL.

RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENT PARTS

The Company’s products are made largely of specially designed metal parts, most of which are designed, purchased, cast or stamped and machined by the Company to its own technical specifications. Metallic raw materials such as steel, aluminum, copper and brass are commodity items readily available from a

number of suppliers. Certain parts, such as electronic components, are made to the Company’s specifications. Other parts, such as fasteners, are purchased by the Company from outside suppliers as standardized parts or are made to the Company’s specifications. Although from time to time the Company has experienced temporary supply shortages due to localized conditions, no such shortage has had a material adverse effect on the Company, and no supplier accounts for more than 10% of material component purchases.

COMPETITION

Because of the technical expertise required to design and manufacture the Company’s products to the tolerances required, the existence of longstanding supply relationships in the engine component business and the significant capital expenditures and lead time required to enter the business, there are a limited number of manufacturers selling to the global markets in which the Company operates. The Company competes on the basis of technological innovation, product quality, processing and manufacturing capabilities, service support and price. The Company is smaller in size and therefore has fewer resources relative to its competitors.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company relies upon patent, trademark and copyright protection as well as upon unpatented technological know-how and other trade secrets for certain products, components, processes and applications. However, the Company’s operations are not dependent upon any single or related group of patents, copyrights or trademarks or their duration. The patents have a duration of between 4 and 18.5 years. The Company considers its proprietary information important, especially in the maintenance of its competitive position in the aftermarket business, and takes actions to protect its intellectual property rights.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2008, the Company employed 1,634 persons of whom approximately 31% were salaried and 69% were hourly employees. All of the Company’s employees are non-unionized with the exception of those in Stanadyne, S.p.A. (“SpA”). The Company believes its relations with its employees are good.

TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Engine manufacturers are required to continually improve engine performance and fuel economy. Accordingly, the Company’s research and development investment is significant. In general, the Company funds its own research and development expenses, although some of those expenses may be customer-funded during the pre-production program phase. Research and development costs incurred for 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $15.8 million, $13.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, of which $1.3 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were reimbursed by customers.

Once an OEM commits to purchasing a product from the Company, which usually occurs one to three years into the development or application process, the Company may need to make capital expenditures for the machinery, equipment and tooling necessary for engine program launch, ramp-up and production volume increases. Furthermore, given the significant existing investment in plant and equipment already made, the Company has on-going programs to maintain, upgrade and replace its fixed assets. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company spent $8.7 million, $9.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.

The Company’s worldwide operations are subject to the risks normally associated with foreign operations, including but not limited to, the disruption of markets, changes in export or import laws, labor unrest, political instability, restrictions on transfers of funds, unexpected changes in regulatory environments, difficulty in obtaining distribution and support, and potentially adverse tax consequences. In addition, even though the Company generally matches, to the extent possible, related costs and revenues in a single currency, and generally includes exchange rate protections in its sales contracts, the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s foreign sales varies with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company’s facilities are subject to federal, state and local environmental requirements, including those governing discharges to the air and water, the handling and disposal of industrial and hazardous wastes, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. The Company operates under various environmental permits and approvals, the violation of which may subject the Company to fines and penalties. There are no known violations of environmental permits or approvals that may have a material adverse effect to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company’s manufacturing operations involve the use of hazardous substances and, if a release of hazardous substances occurs or has occurred on or from the Company’s facilities, the Company may be held liable and may be required to pay the cost of remedying the condition. The amount of any such liability could be material. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition on December 11, 1997, Metromedia has agreed to conduct and complete remediation of soil and groundwater contamination at the Company’s Windsor, CT and Jacksonville, NC facilities. While many of these remediations are underway and Metromedia agreed to complete these remediations and has indemnified the Company with respect to these matters and certain other environmental matters, there can be no assurance that Metromedia has the ability to completely fulfill its obligations to indemnify the Company for such matters. While the Company believes Metromedia would be able to meet its financial obligations, if Metromedia is unable to do so, the Company will be responsible for such matters and the cost could be material. Metromedia’s liability has not changed as result of the Transactions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this Form 10-K.

We are subject to the volatile conditions in the capital, credit and commodities markets and in the overall economy which could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the global recession, significant volatility in the worldwide capital, credit and commodities markets, slower economic activity, concerns about inflation and deflation, lower corporate profits and reduced capital spending. These factors, in conjunction with the economic slowdown and fears associated with the economic recession, affect our business in a number of different ways. First, these challenging economic conditions may make it difficult for our customers to accurately forecast future business activities and access credit markets to maintain necessary liquidity. This could result in reduced demand for our products as well as increase the risk of uncollectible accounts and adversely affect our profitability. Second, increases in raw material costs resulting from the volatility in the commodity markets, including steel and aluminum, could lead to our inability to procure raw materials on commercially reasonable terms and adversely affect our cost of goods sold and result in decreased earnings. Third, although we attempt to monitor the financial health of our key suppliers, these economic conditions may also challenge their ability to continue as going concerns. The failure of one or more of these key suppliers could result in disruption to our production schedules, require premium costs to replace and ultimately adversely affect our profitability. Fourth, if limitations in the capital and credit markets continue to restrict availability of funds, it is possible that we may not be able to access capital at a time when we would like or need to do so. While currently these conditions have not significantly impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case.

We cannot predict the duration and depth of any economic slowdown or the timing of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide or in our industry.

The industries in which we operate are cyclical, which can make our sales vary in unpredictable ways.

Sales of our products to off-highway OEMs for use in the agricultural industry generally are related to the health of the agricultural industry, which is affected by farm income and debt levels, farm land values, and farm cash receipts, all of which reflect levels of commodity prices, acreage planted, crop yields, demand, government policies and government subsidies. Historically, the agricultural industry has been cyclical and subject to a variety of economic factors, governmental regulations and legislation, and weather conditions. Trends in the industry, such as farm consolidations, may also affect the sales of products for use in the agricultural industry. In addition, weather conditions, such as heat waves or droughts, and pervasive livestock diseases can affect farmers’ buying decisions. Downturns in the agricultural industry due to these and other factors are likely to decrease the sales of products to off-highway OEMs for use in the agricultural industry, which could adversely affect our sales, growth, results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

In addition, our financial performance depends, to a lesser extent, on conditions in the other cyclical industries that we serve, including the domestic and foreign production of automobiles and light duty vehicles. Historically, the North American and European automotive industries have experienced periodic, cyclical downturns. The current downturn in these industries is resulting in significant reductions in demand for on-highway vehicles. Industry sales and production have been severely affected by weakness of the global economy generally, and in specific regions such as North America or Europe, by prevailing interest rates and by other factors that may have an effect on our level of sales. Demand for our products is also directly dependent upon demand for the engine platforms on which our products are incorporated. There is no assurance that the demand for such engine platforms will continue. A substantial decrease in demand for such engine platforms could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are subject to risks associated with changes in technology, changes in manufacturing techniques and changes in customer product demands or specifications, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously evolve our existing technology, manufacturing processes and products. We must also introduce new products to meet customers’ needs in the industries we serve and want to serve. The demanding requirements of engine manufacturers to improve engine performance and fuel economy and to meet the increasingly stringent worldwide emission regulations create technical challenges that may necessitate technological changes to our products. Our engineers typically work with our customers’ engineering staff for a period of two to five years prior to a product launch in order to develop or adapt new technology to satisfy our customers’ requirements. Our inability to develop the requisite technology in the necessary timeframe could adversely affect our business.

Our products are also characterized by stringent performance and specification requirements that mandate a high degree of manufacturing and engineering expertise. If we fail to meet these specification requirements, we could be subject to significant product warranty expenses that could place our business at risk.

Our success will depend on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing specifications and product demands. We cannot assure that we will be able to address our customers’ demands or introduce new products that may be necessary to remain competitive within our businesses. Furthermore, we cannot assure that we can adequately protect any of our own technological developments to produce a sustainable competitive advantage.

Our base of customers is concentrated, and the loss of business from a major customer or the failure to maintain our customer relationships could materially adversely affect us.

Because of the relative importance of our largest customers and the high degree of concentration with OEMs in the off-highway markets, our business is exposed to a high degree of risk related to customer concentration. Our top five customers represented 54.2% of net sales in 2008. None of our top customers are obligated to continue to produce the engines which require our products or renew contracts with us when they expire. A substantial decrease in orders from Deere, Daimler-Benz, Cummins, Ford or GEP could have a material adverse effect on us. Even if we maintain our relationships, net sales concentration as a result of these relationships increases the potential impact to our business that could result from any changes in the economic terms of that relationship. Any change in our relationships could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. Any changes could, for example, result in decreased sales. Relationships with our customers for the development of new products are also important, and our net sales will be significantly diminished if we fail to maintain these prospective development relationships. In addition, because our customer base is highly concentrated and the maintenance of these relationships is of significant importance to us, from time to time we may find it necessary to allow price reductions as to certain of our products. If we were unable to reach agreement on

pricing with one or more of our major customers, or if we were forced to accept an economic arrangement in which pricing was materially lower than in our past experience, our sales and profitability would be materially harmed.

We face competition in our markets, which could hurt market share and sales.

While there are a limited number of competitors, including the captive component operations of certain engine manufacturers as well as other independent suppliers, most are larger and have greater financial and other resources available to them. Our products may not continue to compete successfully with the products of other companies, and engine manufacturers may not continue to purchase engine components from outside suppliers. Although we have significant market positions in each of our primary lines within the aftermarket, we may not be able to maintain our current market share. Competition in our business lines is based on a number of considerations, including product performance, quality of client service and support, timely delivery and price. To remain competitive, we will need to invest continuously in manufacturing operations, working capital, customer service and support, marketing and distribution networks. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments, and we may not be able to maintain our competitive position within each of the markets we serve.

Increases in our raw material costs or the loss of a substantial number of our suppliers could affect our financial health.

Our business is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic delays in the delivery of certain raw materials, including steel and aluminum. For example, the domestic steel industry has experienced substantial financial instability due to numerous factors, including energy costs and the effect of foreign competition. Some of our supply base may not survive the current economic downturn. In addition, the general global economic downturn may create an imbalance in the supply and demand for many of the purchased components and raw materials used. Any material long-term increase in the price of one or more of our raw materials could have an adverse impact on our cost of sales. In addition, a failure by our suppliers to continue to supply us with certain raw materials on commercially reasonable terms due to uneven supply and demand could have a material adverse effect on us. Our exposure to this risk will increase as our reliance on outside suppliers’ increases, as is the case in our plan to outsource certain manufacturing operations to achieve cost reductions.

Our international operations are subject to uncertainties that could affect our operating results.

Our business is subject to certain risks associated with doing business internationally. Approximately 52.9% of our net sales in 2008 were derived from products sold outside of the United States. In addition, we operate three manufacturing facilities outside of the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors associated with foreign operations, including:

 

   

disruptions of markets;

 

   

changes in export or import laws, including compliance with U.S. Department of Commerce export controls;

 

   

labor unrest or differing labor regulations;

 

   

geopolitical instability;

 

   

restrictions on transfers of funds, including exchange controls;

 

   

unexpected changes in regulatory environments;

 

   

difficulty in obtaining distribution and support;

 

   

interest rates;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in these jurisdictions;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries; and

 

   

exposure to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact our results of operations and affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. Because the results of the operations and the financial position of our foreign subsidiaries are reported in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our combined financial statements, our financial results are impacted by currency fluctuations between the dollar and the euro, the dollar and the Chinese yuan, the dollar and the Indian rupee and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, which are unrelated to our underlying results of operations. We have not entered into contracts to hedge our currency risk.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of the factors identified above could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

We have significant pension obligations with respect to our employees.

A portion of our active and retired employees participate in defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of assets of our pension plan was less than the projected benefit obligation of the plan. The Company is obligated to provide the required levels of benefits regardless of the value of the underlying assets, if any, of the applicable pension plan. These underlying assets are subject to investment risk and market fluctuation which may require significant additional cash contributions from us to pay benefits which could have an adverse material impact on our ability to generate sufficient cash to invest in the growth of the business.

Unionization of our labor force could increase our operating costs and impact profitability.

Because our workforce is non-unionized, except where required by law (Italy), we believe our average labor costs are lower than those of larger unionized competitors. In order to achieve our business strategies, we must maintain this competitive advantage. If our employees become unionized, labor costs, and consequently, operating expenses, would likely increase, thereby reducing profitability.

We depend on the services of key individuals and relationships, the loss of which would materially harm us.

Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees. In addition, future success will depend on, among other factors, the ability to attract and retain other qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any of the key employees or the failure to attract or retain employees could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our intellectual property may be misappropriated or subject to claims of infringement.

We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection, as well as licensing agreements and third-party nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements. Our applications for protection of our intellectual property rights may not be approved and others may infringe or challenge our intellectual property rights. We also may rely on unpatented proprietary technology. Our competitors may independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information, our employees, consultants and advisors must enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information if there is any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure. In addition, we from time to time pursue and are pursued in potential litigation relating to the protection of certain intellectual property rights, including with respect to some of our more profitable products. If we

 

12


Table of Contents

are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, our ability to sustain margins on some or all of our products may be affected, which could reduce our sales and profitability.

We could face potential product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or distribute.

We face exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other adverse effects. We currently maintain product liability insurance coverage, but we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential claims. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for long periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful product liability defense could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or our ability to make payments on our obligations when due. In addition, our business depends on the strong brand reputation we have developed. If this reputation is damaged, we may face difficulty in maintaining pricing positions with respect to some of our products, which would reduce net sales and profitability.

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect against the potential hazards incident to our business.

We maintain property, business interruption, product liability and casualty insurance coverage which we believe is in accordance with customary industry practices, but we cannot be fully insured against all potential hazards incident to our business, including losses resulting from war risks or terrorist acts. A catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of our facilities due to accident, labor issues, weather conditions, other natural disaster or otherwise, whether short or long-term, could have a material adverse effect. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for some of our insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, some types of insurance may become available only for reduced amounts of coverage, if at all. In addition, our insurers may challenge coverage for certain claims. If we were to incur a significant liability that was not fully insured or that our insurers disputed, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flow.

Environmental regulation may impose significant environmental compliance costs and liabilities on us.

We are subject to many laws and regulations related to the environment, health and safety and associated compliance and permitting obligations. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs to maintain or achieve compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Moreover, if these environmental laws and regulations become more stringent or more stringently enforced in the future, we could incur additional costs. Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements could result in civil or criminal fines, penalties or enforcement actions, third-party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup or regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, including the installation of pollution control equipment or remedial actions. Some environmental laws and regulations impose liability for contamination on present and former owners, operators or users of facilities and sites, or the generators of waste disposed of at the facility or site, without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. There is ongoing remediation at some of our properties, and we have been named as a potentially responsible party at certain other sites. However, we believe that nearly all of our liabilities for such matters are covered by an indemnity that we received from Metromedia, our former owner. If Metromedia was unable or unwilling to perform to the terms of the indemnity, or should new contamination be identified or if the extent of the known contamination is greater than presently anticipated, environmental liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our products are applied to engines and vehicles which are subject to various emission standards and regulations which vary by geographic markets. We continually seek to incorporate new design features into our products to assist customers in meeting those emissions standards and regulations applicable to their product offerings, including engines and vehicles. Although a plan to revise an existing emission standard or regulation is generally known by the public a few years in advance of enforcement, providing the opportunity to make changes to products in order to comply with the anticipated changes to the emissions standard or regulation, any subsequent changes to such plan could have a direct and significant effect on our customers’ ability to sell their products, and correspondingly, our ability to sell products to such customers.

If we are unable to meet future capital investment requirements, our business may be adversely affected.

We periodically make capital investments to, among other things, launch new products, maintain and upgrade our facilities and enhance our production processes. Additionally, as our business grows, we may have to incur capital expenditures to increase capacity. We may also incur significant capital expenditures to make changes to products in order to comply with evolving emissions standards and regulations. We believe that we will be able to fund these expenditures through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities. However, we may not have or be able to obtain adequate funds to make all necessary capital expenditures when required, or the amount of future capital expenditures may be materially in excess of our anticipated or current expenditures. If we are unable to make necessary capital expenditures, our product line may become dated, our productivity may be decreased and the quality of our products may be adversely affected, which, in turn, could reduce net sales and profitability.

Compliance with changing corporate governance regulations and public disclosures may result in additional risks and exposure.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new regulations from the SEC, are creating uncertainty for public companies such as ours. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased selling, general, and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention. In particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal control over financial reporting have required the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources.

Holdings is solely responsible for paying certain promissory notes it issued and since it has no independent operations and its subsidiaries are restricted from making distributions to Holdings, Holdings may be unable to repay the notes.

On December 20, 2004, Holdings issued $100.0 million of senior discount notes (the “Discount Notes”) due in 2015. The Discount Notes bear interest at a stated annual rate of 12%. The Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under Stanadyne’s Senior Secured Bank Facility. The Discount Notes are not guaranteed by any of Holdings’ subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Holdings has no independent financial resources of its own. Furthermore the terms of the Senior Bank Facility and the indenture governing Stanadyne’s Subordinated Notes limit the

ability of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Holdings, which may, in turn, limit Holdings’ ability to repay the Discount Notes.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings generally incidental to its business. While the results of any litigation or regulatory issue contain an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of any known, pending or threatened legal proceeding, or all of them combined, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to potential environmental liability and various claims and legal actions, which are pending or may be asserted against the Company concerning environmental matters. Reserves for such liabilities have been established, and no insurance recoveries have been anticipated in the determination of the reserves. In management’s opinion, the aforementioned claims will be resolved without materially adverse effects on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company on December 11, 1997, Metromedia agreed to partially indemnify the Company relating to certain environmental matters. See “Environmental Matters” in Item 1 of this report.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

During the year ended December 31, 2008 two retirees and two former employees exercised stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock at $0.47 per share for cash consideration of $35,250. Retirees exercised options totaling 12,500 and 37,500 on December 10, 2008 and December 3, 2008, respectively. Two former employees exercised options totaling 15,000 and 10,000 on January 13, 2008 and April 29, 2008, respectively.

On December 3, 2008 Holdings granted six employees options to purchase 950,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per share. The options granted vest ratably annually over a four year period from the date of grant, are subject to the achievement of various performance benchmarks and expire ten years from the date of grant. Holdings issued such shares and granted such options in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

These offers and sales of securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. In claiming the exemption under Section 4(2), Holdings relied in part on the following facts: (1) the offer and sale involved a limited number of purchasers; (2) the purchasers were or had been employees of Stanadyne and as such were familiar with its operations; (3) each of the purchasers represented that he (a) had the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risk of an investment in Holdings; (b) was able to bear the economic risk of an investment in Holdings; (c) acquired the shares for his own account in a transaction not involving any general solicitation or general advertising, and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and (4) a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate or other instrument evidencing the shares.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Stanadyne, a Delaware corporation formed in 1988, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAHC, a Delaware corporation formed in 1997. SAHC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed in 2004 and formerly known as KSTA Holdings, Inc. A majority of the outstanding equity of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C., an affiliate of Kohlberg and Company L.L.C. (“Kohlberg”). On August 6, 2004, Kohlberg and Company, L.L.C., through a series of transactions purchased the outstanding equity of Stanadyne’s holding company from American Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. AIP had purchased Stanadyne from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997.

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects the results of operations and financial condition of Holdings and its subsidiaries, which are materially the same as the results of operations and financial condition of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the discussions provided are applicable to both Holdings and Stanadyne except where otherwise noted.

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of highly-engineered, precision manufactured engine components. We manufacture our own proprietary products including pumps for gasoline and diesel engines, injectors and filtration systems for diesel engines, and various non-proprietary products manufactured under contract for other companies.

Slowing global economic growth, the credit market crisis, declining business confidence, and fluctuating commodity prices all combined in the latter half of 2008 to create many uncertainties for the future. A combination of factors helped mitigate the economic pressures on our businesses: diversity in our global customer base, balance in our service and original equipment manufacturer revenues, very low reliance on the North American auto industry, savings from cost reductions actions taken in 2007, and strong liquidity. However, these mitigating factors did not insulate our business from the general economic decline and the resulting decrease in demand for our products. While the level of sales in the first half of 2008 was relatively unchanged from the same period in 2007, the level of sales in the second half of the year was down 9% when compared to the second half of 2007.

Sales in 2008 were $277.5 million and were $15 million less than sales of $292.5 million in 2007. Lower sales to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) were partially offset by an increase in sales to the service markets. Sales to our largest customer, Deere and Company (“Deere”), were $25.9 million less in 2008 than in 2007, due to lower overall demand in the latter half of the year. This lower demand reflected a combination of the slowing economy as well as lower sales of older style fuel injection equipment that is no longer emission compliant. Strength in our other OEM business helped offset some the lower sales to Deere. Sales to General Engine Products (“GEP”) for our fuel injection equipment used in military HMMWV’s, and to Daimler-Benz (“Daimler”) for our high pressure gasoline pump both increased in 2008 from the prior year. Sales to the service markets in 2008 increased by $0.8 million from 2007 levels, but all of this increase occurred in the first nine months of the year.

Despite the downward earnings pressure from lower sales volumes, our gross profit in 2008 totaled $77.2 million, reflecting an increase of $5.3 million from 2007. The increase in gross profit in 2008 was due to a combination of a more profitable sales mix, price realization, and cost reduction measures taken in all of our locations in 2007.

Operating profit in our Stanadyne, SpA business improved nearly $3.0 million in 2008 as compared to the prior year. Most of the improvement resulted from cost reduction actions taken in late 2007 and early

2008. Management continues to assess the SpA operations for further opportunities to improve results of operations.

After a full year of preparation, we launched production in our Changshu, China location in the third quarter of 2008. While customer demand was less than planned in 2008, the staff and facility are positioned to capitalize on opportunities in this exciting new market.

Cash flows from operations in 2008 included additional amounts for cash pension contributions, income taxes and product warranty costs while reductions in working capital accounts helped increase overall liquidity, with cash on hand as of December 31, 2008 totaling $49.0 million and availability under the U.S.-based Revolving Credit Facility totaling $24.7 million. Our cash on hand at 12/31/08 will provide liquidity during the economic downturn during 2009.

2008 COMPARED TO 2007

Net Sales. Net sales for 2008 totaled $277.5 million and were $15.0 million or 5.1% less than sales of $292.5 million for 2007. Lower sales to the OEM market during 2008 were partially offset by higher sales to the service markets.

OEM sales represented 57% of our total sales in 2008 as compared to 59% in 2007. Sales to our OEM customers were $15.8 million less in 2008, due primarily to $25.9 million lower sales to Deere. In addition to lower demand due to the general economic downturn late last year, sales to Deere decreased for products used in construction and forestry equipment as well as for older style fuel injection equipment that is no longer emissions compliant. Strength in demand from our other OEM customers offset much of the reduction in sales to Deere. Sales to GEP for fuel pumps used in the military HMMWV were $2.8 million greater in 2008. Sales of our high pressure gasoline pump to Daimler were also $5.0 million higher in 2008 as the use of GDi-equipped engine was expanded to additional platforms. Increased OEM demand in 2008 for our diesel fuel injection equipment sold to Cummins, Ford, SISU and Perkins combined for a total of $9.1 million higher sales in 2008 than 2007.

Sales to the service markets represented 43% of our total sales in 2008 as compared to 41% in 2007. Sales to service customers increased $0.8 million or 0.6% in 2008 versus 2007. After much lower demand in 2007, service orders from GM for fuel pumps increased in the first half of 2008, resulting in $3.9 million higher sales when compared to 2007. Service orders for Deere products also increased by $1.3 million in 2008. Sales to our central distributors, which comprise our independent service network, were $11.2 million lower in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to a general downturn in demand for service parts as well as for fewer orders for replacement pumps for military HMMWVs.

Sales by major product line in 2008 reflected lower sales of our fuel pump, fuel injector and fuel filtration products, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in our Precision Components & Assembly (“PCA”) business.

Gross Profit. Gross profit totaled $77.2 million and 27.8% of net sales in 2008, compared to $71.8 million and 24.6% of net sales in 2007. Lower gross profit resulting from decreased OEM sales volumes was partially offset by a more profitable mix of products sold in 2008 as well as price realization, resulting in a net $4.4 million decrease in the year-to-year gross profit comparison. Factory overhead costs in the U.S. operations were $8.4 million less in 2008 reflecting savings from organizational restructuring, staff reductions and consolidation of operations in the Windsor, Connecticut location. Gross profit in SpA improved by $3.0 million in 2008 when compared to 2007, due primarily to the $2.1 million write-down of inventory and idle equipment in 2007, as well as savings from staff reductions completed in 2007 and 2008. Finally, overhead spending in our new Changshu, China plant increased by $0.8 million in 2008, as the operation launched production in the second half of the year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A totaled $38.6 million or 13.9% of net sales in 2008, as compared to $38.3 million or 13.1% of net sales in 2007. The $0.3 million increase in SG&A costs was due to a number of changes. SG&A increases in 2008 included $2.4 million for higher research and development expenses for high pressure gasoline and diesel fuel systems programs, $0.6 million for professional fees related to personnel recruiting, accounting related fees and legal fees, and $0.4 million more start-up costs in the new Changshu, China plant. Reductions in SG&A costs in 2008 included $2.5 million lower severance benefits than incurred in 2007, lower costs associated with testing the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and $0.3 million lower stock-based compensation expense. The SG&A in our financial statements includes the Pension Plan curtailment gain, management fee and amortization of intangible assets.

Pension Plan Curtailment Gain. Changes to the U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans at the end of the first quarter of 2007 resulted in a curtailment gain of the liability associated with future benefits. Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) to freeze the benefits for all participants so that no future benefits accrued after that date. The effect of the Pension Plan freeze resulted in a curtailment gain of $10.0 million. This curtailment gain was equal to the reduction in the projected benefit obligations (PBO) due to the freeze, offset by any unrecognized losses immediately prior to the freeze, plus remaining unrecognized prior service costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.3 million in 2008 and was $ 0.5 million less than the amount reported for 2007, due to the expiration of certain product design patents at mid-year 2007.

Operating Income. Operating income for 2008 totaled $34.5 million and 12.4% of net sales and was $4.5 million less than the $39.1 million and 13.4% of net sales in 2007. Excluding the 2007 pension curtailment gain of $10.0 million, the year-over-year comparison reflected an increase of $5.5 million that resulted from $5.3 million higher gross profit and $0.5 million lower amortization expenses partially offset by $0.3 million higher SG&A expense.

Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations for Stanadyne in 2008 totaled $10.2 million and 3.7% of net sales, reflecting a decrease of $0.9 million from $11.1 million or 3.8% of net sales in 2007. The $0.9 million decrease reflected $4.5 million lower operating income, due to the $10.0 million pension curtailment gain recorded in 2007, offset by $5.3 million of higher gross profit levels in 2008 as well as the $0.6 million lower interest expense on reduced debt levels and by $3.1 million lower income taxes due primarily to lower operating income and higher R&D credits.

Income from continuing operations for Holdings in 2008 totaled $2.0 million and was $8.3 million less than the amount reported for Stanadyne due to $10.5 million of additional interest expense on the Discount Notes, partially offset by $2.2 million lower income taxes.

2007 COMPARED TO 2006

Net Sales. Net sales in 2007 totaled $292.5 million and were $12.1 million and 4.0% less than the $304.6 million realized in 2006. Sales to our largest customer, Deere, were $4.0 million less in 2007 than in 2006, due primarily to lower sales of older style fuel injection equipment that is no longer emission compliant. Sales were lower in both the OEM and service markets.

Sales to OEM customers in 2007 were $7.2 million and 4.0% less than 2006, but still represented 59% of our total revenues in each year. Lower OEM revenues in 2007 were due to $1.9 million less sales to GEP for our fuel injection equipment used in military HMMWV’s, $1.0 million less sales to Daimler for our

Table of Contents

high pressure gasoline pump, and lower demand from Deere, Caterpillar and Cummins for our fuel injection equipment.

Sales to the service markets in 2007 decreased by $4.8 million from 2006 levels. Service demand in 2007 from GM for diesel fuel pumps continued to decline as vehicles last built in 2001 continue to age and go out of service. GM also reduced its inventory of our service pumps in 2007, further reducing our sales. In total, our sales in 2007 to GM were $19.9 million less than in 2006. Higher service demand for fuel pumps used in the military HMMWV and growth in aftermarket demand for our filter and fuel additive products helped mitigate the decline in revenues from GM.

Sales by major product line in 2007 reflected decreases in shipments of fuel pumps and fuel injectors, partially offset by higher sales of our fuel filter and fuel additive products.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit totaled $71.8 million and 24.6% of net sales in 2007, reflecting an increase of $2.7 million from the $69.1 million and 22.7% of net sales for the prior year. The impact on gross profit due to lower sales volumes in 2007 was offset by higher pricing and a more profitable mix of products sold, resulting in an additional $3.7 million increase in gross profits when compared to 2006. Factory overhead costs in the U.S. operations were lower by $2.6 million in 2007 when compared to 2006, reflecting the benefits of reorganizing our factories, actions taken to align our overhead with lower sales volumes and a re-assignment of engineering from our existing operations to our R&D center to work on new product programs including high-pressure gasoline and diesel pumps. The closure of our in-house aluminum die casting operation in 2007 resulted in $0.7 million increase to depreciation expense related to idled equipment. Gross profit in SpA was $2.3 million less in 2007 than in 2006 and was adversely impacted by a $1.8 million write-down of inventory to recognize a change in management assessment of market demand for excess component quantities. Additional amounts impacting SpA’s 2007 gross profit included a $0.2 million inventory write down resulting from differences detected during the third quarter wall-to-wall inventory count and a $0.2 million increase to depreciation expense related to idled equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) totaled $38.3 million and 13.1% of net sales in 2007 as compared to $38.1 million and 12.5% of net sales in 2006. Significant increases in 2007 SG&A expenses as compared to 2006 amounts included: $3.0 million employee severance costs supporting reorganization of our U.S., France and Italy locations; $2.0 million higher R&D costs related to development of high pressure gasoline and diesel fuel systems; and $0.6 million launch costs for our new location in Changshu, China. Offsetting most of these increases were certain non-recurring 2006 SG&A expenses for $1.8 million of severance benefits for the former CEO who retired in January 2006, additional severance costs totaling $2.6 million for amounts associated with the reorganization of our U.S. and Italy-based salaried staffs and $1.1 million for the consolidation of the Windsor manufacturing operations during the fourth quarter of 2006. SG&A expenses in 2007 were also lower than 2006 by $0.5 million for less stock option expense.

Pension Plan Curtailment Gain. Changes to the U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans in 2007 resulted in a curtailment gain of the liability associated with future benefits. Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) to freeze the benefits for all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. The effect of the Pension Plan freeze resulted in a curtailment gain of $10.0 million. This one-time curtailment gain is equal to the reduction in the projected benefit obligations (PBO) due to the freeze, offset by any unrecognized losses immediately prior to the freeze, plus any remaining unrecognized prior service costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.8 million in 2007 and was $0.3 million less than the $4.1 million recorded in 2006 due to the expiration of certain fuel injector patents during the year.

Operating Income. Our operating income totaled $39.1 million and 13.4% of net sales in 2007 and was $12.9 million more than the $26.2 million and 8.6% of net sales in 2006. This increase in operating income was attributable primarily to the $10.0 million pension plan curtailment gain, as well as $2.7 million higher gross profits in 2007 and $0.3 million lower amortization expense, partially offset by $0.2 million higher SG&A expenses when compared to 2006.

Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations for Stanadyne in 2007 totaled $11.1 million and 3.8% of net sales, reflecting an increase of $6.1 million from the $5.0 million or 1.6% of net sales reported for 2006. The $6.1 million increase reflected the combined results of $12.9 million higher operating income, including the $10.0 million pension curtailment gain described previously, and $1.2 million lower interest expense on reduced debt levels, partially offset by $7.8 million additional income taxes on higher earnings and a $0.2 million increase in the minority interest in the income of our SAPL joint venture.

Income from continuing operations for Holdings in 2007 totaled $3.9 million and was $7.1 million less than the amount reported for Stanadyne due to $9.3 million of additional interest expense on the Discount Notes, partially offset by $2.2 million lower income taxes.

Loss from Discontinued Operations. The 2006 loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations totaled $7.7 million. The 2006 loss was comprised of $3.1 million operating losses, loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $8.9 million and income tax benefits of $4.3 million. Included in the operating losses in 2006 was $0.3 million of losses on disposals of equipment prior to the transaction with Defiance, Inc. These assets were sold in connection with the closure of PEPC’s Windsor, Connecticut facility when those operations were re-sourced to external suppliers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stanadyne’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, which totaled $48.8 million on December 31, 2008, and cash flows from operations. Stanadyne also maintains a U.S.-based revolving credit facility under which $24.7 million was available for borrowing as of December 31, 2008, of which $6.4 million was used for standby letters of credit. This U.S. based revolving credit facility will expire in August 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating alternatives for replacing this expiring revolving credit facility although anticipates cash flows from operations in 2009 will be adequate to cover all operating, investing and financing activities Stanadyne occasionally utilizes capital leasing and, for its foreign operations in China, Italy and India, maintains a combination of overdraft, working capital and term loan facilities with local financial institutions on an as-needed basis.

Indebtedness for Stanadyne as of December 31, 2008 totaled $179.4 million and was comprised of $160.0 million of Notes, $15.0 million in domestic term loans, no borrowings under the domestic revolving credit facility, $3.8 million in foreign overdraft facilities and $0.6 million in foreign term loans. Unless the availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Line is less than $5.0 million, the U.S.-based Senior Credit Facilities are not subject to financial covenants.

Indebtedness for Holdings as of December 31, 2008 totaled $272.4 million, comprised of the same debt balances for Stanadyne, plus an additional $93.0 million of Discount Notes which are due in 2015. Holdings has no independent financial resources of its own. The Senior Credit Facilities and the indenture governing the Notes limit the ability of Stanadyne and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Holdings. There were no dividends paid to Holdings by any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2008.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for Stanadyne totaled $24.9 million, $24.5 million and $31.6 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Stanadyne’s cash flows from operating activities in 2008 were $0.4 million higher than the prior year. Operating cash flows before changes in assets and liabilities were $4.6 million higher in 2008 than 2007, due to improved gross profits. Operating cash flows from changes in asset and liability accounts were $4.2 million lower in 2008 as compared to 2007. Accounts receivable provided $3.3 million in added cash when compared to 2007 due to strong collection efforts on lower sales volume in 2008. Lower customer demand in the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted in higher year end inventory levels. Cash flows from operations were $6.6 million less in 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of inventory increases in 2008 compared to consumption of inventory in 2007. Lower accounts payable balances in 2008, due primarily to lower levels of business, compared to increasing accounts payable balances in 2007, resulted in a $3.6 million year-over-year negative change in cash flows.

Stanadyne’s cash flows from operating activities in 2007 were $7.1 million less than 2006. Cash flows from operating activities before changes in asset and liability accounts generated $6.5 million more cash in 2007 than in 2006, due primarily to higher gross profit and lower interest costs in 2007. These higher cash flows were offset by changes in asset and liability accounts, primarily working capital accounts that consumed $13.6 million more cash in 2007 compared to 2006. Accounts receivable provided $2.8 million in added cash when compared to the change in 2006 receivables. Inventory reductions in 2007 also generated $6.1 million in positive cash flow when compared to 2006. Inventory turnover in 2007 was 9.1x, reflecting a significant improvement from the 7.8x in 2006. These improvements in 2007 cash flows were offset by $23.2 million lower cash flows for reductions in accounts payable and accrued liability and other non-current liability balances. Lower accounts payable balances in 2007, due primarily to lower levels of business, compared to increasing accounts payable balances in 2006, result in a $4.4 million year-over-year negative change in cash flows. Significant changes in liability accounts that resulted in a reduction in cash flows from operations in 2007 compared to 2006 included: $5.9 million for pension plan contributions; $2.6 million for product warranty claims, primarily for Deere products; $3.7 million for income taxes on higher earnings in 2007; and $4.2 million non-cash reductions in income tax, pension and other post employment benefit liabilities due to adoption of FIN48 and SFAS158.

Cash flows from operating activities for Holdings for 2008 and 2007 were substantially the same as the amounts reported for Stanadyne. Cash flows from operating activities for Holdings in 2006 were $31.3 million or $0.3 million less than the $32.5 million that Stanadyne generated during the same period. This $0.3 million difference was due to administrative expenses required for the maintenance of Holdings organizational and capital structure.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities in 2008 consumed $8.7 million of cash, reflecting our investment in capital equipment.

Cash flows from investing activities in 2007 consumed $8.4 million of cash. This amount was reduced by approximately $1.1 million from use of residual restricted cash proceeds from the sale of the Precision Engine segment in 2006 to pay related income taxes.

Cash flows from investing activities in 2006 were $10.9 million. This amount included $24.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Precision Engine segment to Defiance, Inc. on July 31, 2006. An amount of $1.0 million representing net proceeds from the sale of Precision Engine was held in a restricted account and could only be applied to costs associated with the sale or repayments of our U.S. Term Loan.

Our capital expenditures totaled $8.7 million, $9.5 million and $12.9 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2008 and 2007 reflected investments in equipment to increase capacity, reduce costs, and improve quality, safety and ergonomics, as well as approximately $1.6 million

and $2.8 million, respectively, for manufacturing equipment in the new Changshu, China location. Capital expenditures in 2006 included $2.6 million of purchases made in the discontinued Precision Engine segment, as well as $2.0 million for new products and programs, with the balance of the funds applied to increased capacity, cost reduction, quality enhancements, and safety and ergonomics improvements.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Stanadyne’s cash flows from financing activities resulted in net reductions in cash of $5.3 million, $3.6 million and $40.5 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S. based operations in 2008 included a $6.2 million reduction in term debt based on the terms of the Senior Credit Facility related to excess cash flow generated in 2007. Excess cash flow generated in 2008 will require an additional reduction in term debt of approximately $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. Remaining balances under the Term Loan are not due until August 2010 as defined under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, unless there is excess cash flow generated in 2009. There were no borrowings under the U.S. based Revolving Credit line as of December 31, 2008, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, provided available liquidity of $18.3 million.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2008 included an increase in overdraft borrowings in our SpA and Changshu operations of $0.8 million, and reductions in revolving loans in SAPL of $0.2 million. Increased overdraft borrowings were used to support working capital requirements. Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL also included the proceeds from a five year term loan for $1.0 million with Indian Overseas Bank to finance equipment for the production of fuel injection products. SAPL also made scheduled term loan payments totaling $0.4 million during 2008.

There were no cash flows from financing activities in our U.S.-based operations in 2007. No principal amounts were due for the Term Loan in 2007. There were no borrowings under the U.S.-based Revolving Credit Line in 2007, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, represented $21.6 million of available liquidity.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2007 included a $3.1 million decrease in overdraft borrowings at SpA compared to 2006 as well as payments of capital lease obligations totaling $0.3 million. The reduction in overdraft borrowings was funded by additional capital contributions from Stanadyne that were required to cover 2007 operating losses in SpA. Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL reflected a $0.3 million increase in the revolving credit facility, offset by $0.5 million of scheduled payments against the local term loan facility.

Cash flows from financing activities in our U.S.-based operations in 2006 included the repayment of $22.5 million in Term Loan principal from the Precision Engine asset sale proceeds. This repayment was applied to the most current scheduled principal payments, thereby eliminating any additional scheduled Term Loan amortization for the balance of the Senior Credit Agreement. Additional principal repayments of $20.0 million were made in the fourth quarter of 2006. Scheduled principal payments in 2006 totaled $0.5 million. There were no borrowings under the U.S.-based Revolving Credit Line in 2006, which after reductions for outstanding letters of credit, represented $27.5 million of available liquidity.

Cash flows from financing activities in our foreign operations in 2006 included additional overdraft borrowings of $2.8 million at SpA to support increased working capital needs and seasonal holiday payrolls, as well as $0.5 million in new capital lease obligations. Payments of capital lease obligations at SpA totaled $0.3 million this year. Cash flows from financing activities in SAPL reflected a net reduction of $0.05 million in outstanding indebtedness, with a scheduled installment against the term loan partially offset against additional borrowings against the revolving credit facility to support higher inventories.

Cash flows from financing activities for Holdings resulted in reductions in cash of $5.4 million, $3.6 million and $40.0 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The net cash change in 2008 due to exercise of stock options and Holdings’ repurchase of its common stock was less than $0.1 million.

The net cash change in 2007 due to exercise of stock options and Holdings’ repurchase of its common stock, was less than $0.1 million. In addition to the cash flows from financing activities described for Stanadyne, positive cash flow of $0.5 million from financing activities in Holdings during 2006 resulted from the sale of common stock pursuant to the terms of the CEO’s employment agreement and from the exercise of stock options by retiring employees. A $0.1 million reduction in Holdings cash flows from financing activities in 2005 compared to Stanadyne was for payments of loan origination fees.

Management believes that cash flows from operations and availability of additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility will provide adequate funds for Stanadyne's foreseeable working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations. At December 31, 2008, Stanadyne had $24.7 million of total availability in the revolving credit line of which $18.3 million was available for borrowing and $6.4 million was utilized for standby letters of credit. This U.S. based revolving credit facility will expire in August 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating alternatives for replacement of this expiring revolving credit facility. Stanadyne's ability to fund its operations, make planned capital expenditures, make scheduled debt payments, refinance indebtedness and remain in compliance with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreements will depend on its future operating performance and cash flow, which, in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond its control.

The Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under Stanadyne’s Senior Secured Bank Facility. The Discount Notes are not guaranteed by Holdings’ subsidiaries. The Discount Notes are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Holdings does not have independent financial resources to pay the Discount Notes. Holdings was in compliance with the covenants of the Discount Notes as of December 31, 2008.

Pension Plans. We maintain a qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”), which covers substantially all domestic hourly and salary employees and an unfunded nonqualified plan to provide benefits in excess of amounts permitted to be paid under the provisions of the tax law to participants in the Pension Plan.

The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is developed with reference to historical returns, forward-looking return expectations, the Pension Plan’s investment allocation, and peer comparisons. The Company selected the 8.25% expected return assumption used for 2008 net periodic pension expense with input from the Pension Plan investment advisor. The investment advisor analyzed actual historical returns and future expected returns of asset class benchmarks appropriate to the Pension Plan’s target investment allocation. The analysis also reflected asset return premiums anticipated as a result of active portfolio management, as appropriate for each benchmark asset class. Based on these considerations, the Company used an expected long-term rate of return assumption of 8.25% for 2008 and 8.25% for 2007. Since the expected return on assets assumption is long-term in nature, changes in this assumption are made less frequently than changes in the discount rate assumption.

The discount rate used to value the pension obligation was developed with reference to a number of factors, including the current interest rate environment, benchmark fixed-income yields, peer comparisons, and expected future pension benefit payments. A discount rate of 6.25% established for December 31, 2008 was the same rate used at December 31, 2007. The discount rate selected is

 

29


Table of Contents

consistent with the market yields on high quality fixed income securities which occurred between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. We use a weighted-average of the Moody’s Baa and Aaa rates as a key reference point for discount rate selection. In selecting the discount rate assumption, we also utilize the results of a cash flow model based on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. Under this approach, we discounted the expected future benefit payments under the Company’s pension plan using the discount curve, and solved for the single discount rate that would produce the same present value.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne froze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date will not be affected. With respect to such benefits, participants will continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors will continue unchanged. The assets will continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for certain executives participating in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan. The combined effect of the Pension Plan freeze and positive investment performance in 2007 reduced the Pension Plan unfunded benefit obligation to $11.8 million at December 31, 2007.

Due to the poor returns in the U.S. equity markets in 2008, the value of the Pension Plan assets decreased to $54.6 million at December 31, 2008, from $80.8 million at December 31, 2007. The Company contributed $3.1 million to the Pension Plan in 2008 and expects the minimum required contribution to the Pension Plan in 2009 will be approximately $2.3 million. There were no minimum required contributions to the Pension Plan in 2006.

During 2008, the unfunded liability for the combined Pension Plan and non-qualified plan increased by $27.3 million from the prior year to $39.0 million as of December 31, 2008. This increased liability resulted in an equal pretax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

OFF BALANCE-SHEET OBLIGATIONS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

(1) No interest expense has been included in the obligation due to uncertainty of the underlying variable interest rates.
(2) Consists of obligations for capital purchases of plant improvements, machinery and equipment. Not included in these amounts are the routine trade commitments the Company enters into with its suppliers for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services under customary purchase order terms. The Company is unable to determine the aggregate value of these purchase orders and does not have any material agreements for purchases that exceed expected requirements to satisfy customer demand.
(3) Consists of estimated benefit payments over the next ten years to retirees under an unfunded domestic nonqualified pension plan, the 2009 minimum pension contribution and, with respect to the Italian subsidiary, an unfunded leaving indemnity liability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The issues involving significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: revenue recognition, product warranty reserves, inventory reserves for excess or obsolescence, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities and self-insurance reserves.

Revenue Recognition. Sales and related costs of sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers, unless delivery terms specify transfer of title at point of destination in which case the sales and related cost of sales are recognized when goods are delivered. The Company enters into long-term

 

31


Table of Contents

contracts with certain customers for the supply of parts during the contract period. The Company establishes estimates for sales returns and allowances based on historical experience. The Company does not provide customers with general rights of return for products sold; however, in limited circumstances, the Company will allow sales returns and allowances from customers if the products sold do not conform to specifications.

Product Warranty Reserves. The Company provides a limited warranty for specific products and recognizes the projected cost for this warranty in the period the products are sold. Liability reserves are determined by applying historical warranty experience rates to current period product sales. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available.

Inventory Reserves. The Company maintains its inventories at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for its domestic inventory and on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis for its foreign inventory. When conditions warrant (usually highlighted by slow-moving product or products with pricing constraints), reserves are established to reduce the value of inventory to net realizable values. Annually, the Company reviews and identifies all inventories in excess of three years’ sales requirements. The Company reserves for this “slow moving” inventory as it has no realizable value. If business conditions change during the year, this evaluation is conducted more frequently.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Company provides for pension and other postretirement benefits and makes assumptions with the assistance of independent actuaries about discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets and health care cost trends to determine its net periodic pension and postretirement health care cost. These estimates are based on the Company’s best judgment, including consideration of both current and future market conditions. The Company considers both internal and external evidence to determine the appropriate assumptions. In the event a change in any of the assumptions is warranted, future pension cost as determined under SFAS No. 87 could increase or decrease.

Self-Insurance Reserves. The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its health care and workers’ compensation insurance programs. With advice and assistance from outside experts, reserves are established using estimates based on, among other factors, reported claims to date, prior claims history, and projections of claims incurred but not reported. Future medical cost trends are incorporated in the projected costs to settle existing claims. If actual results in any of these areas change from prior periods, adjustments to recorded reserves may be required.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The areas that are most applicable to the Company with regard to SFAS No. 141R are (1) that the statement requires companies to expense transaction costs as incurred (2) that any subsequent adjustments to a recorded performance-based liability after its initial recognition will be adjusted through income as opposed to goodwill, and (3) any liabilities related to non-controlling interests will be recorded at fair value.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective beginning in fiscal 2009. This statement will be applied prospectively as of the beginning of 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded amounts related to the noncontrolling interests’ share in income and loss of $47 and $(76), respectively, and additionally, SFAS 160 requires the liability related to noncontrolling interests to be presented as a separate caption within shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the liability related to noncontrolling interests was $29 and $76, respectively.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will significantly impact its disclosure requirements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP applies prospectively to all intangible assets acquired after the effective date of January 1, 2009, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise. We are evaluating any impact that this FSP may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. While SFAS 162 formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risks including changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk. The carrying values of the Company’s revolving credit lines and term loans approximate fair value. The revolving credit line is priced daily and the term loans are primarily LIBOR borrowings and are re-priced approximately every month based on prevailing market rates. A 10% change in the interest rate on the revolving credit line and term loans would have increased or decreased the 2008 interest expense by $0.1 million. The Notes and Discount Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and, therefore, are not sensitive to interest rate fluctuation. The fair value of the Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2008 was approximately $109.6 million. The fair value of Holdings’ Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2008 was approximately $45.0 million.

 

33


Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Risk. The Company has operating subsidiaries in Italy, India and China, thereby creating exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s sales, gross margins, and retained earnings. Historically, these locations have contributed less than 15% of the Company’s net sales and retained earnings, with most of these sales attributable to the Italian subsidiary. The Company also prices some of its products in currencies other than the currency of manufacture. Foreign currency exchange losses totaled $0.1 million in 2008 and totaled $0.05 million in 2007. The Company does not hedge against foreign currency risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Stanadyne Holdings, Inc.

Windsor, CT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Holdings”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Holdings’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. Holdings is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Holdings’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands)

 

(1) Business

Description of Business. Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Automotive Holdings Corp. (“SAHC”). SAHC owns all of the outstanding common stock of Stanadyne Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Stanadyne”). A majority of the outstanding common stock of Holdings is owned by funds managed by Kohlberg Management IV, L.L.C. Collectively, Holdings, SAHC and Stanadyne hereinafter are referred to as the “Company.” Holdings and Stanadyne are separate reporting companies. Unless otherwise noted, the notes herein relate to both Holdings and Stanadyne as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Holdings is a holding company with no other operations beyond those of its indirectly, wholly-owned subsidiary, Stanadyne. Stanadyne is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered, precision manufactured engine components, including fuel injection equipment for diesel engines. Stanadyne sells engine components to original equipment manufacturers in a variety of applications, including agricultural and construction vehicles and equipment, industrial products, automobiles, light duty trucks and marine equipment. The aftermarket is a core element of Stanadyne’s business. Stanadyne’s previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision Engine Products Corp. (“PEPC”) was a supplier of roller-rocker arms, hydraulic valve lifters and lash adjusters to automotive engine manufacturers and the independent automotive aftermarket. On July 31, 2006, certain assets and liabilities of PEPC were sold to Defiance, Inc., a part of GenTek, Inc. (see Note 22).

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Discontinued Operations. The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of Holdings and all of Holdings’ direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: SAHC, Stanadyne, PEPC, Stanadyne, SpA (“SpA”), Stanadyne Changshu Corporation (“SCC”) and Precision Engine Products LTDA (“PEPL”). Intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. A joint venture, Stanadyne Amalgamations Private Limited (“SAPL”), is fully consolidated based on the Company’s 51% controlling share, while the remaining 49% is accounted for as a minority interest. The financial statements of SAPL, SpA and PEPL are consolidated on a fiscal year basis ending November 30. The applicable amounts related to PEPC, including PEPL, are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein (see Note 22).

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers cash on hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Stanadyne Corporation invests on an overnight basis in certain cash management funds which are rated AAAm by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s. These funds are not FDIC insured.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The principal components of costs included in inventories are materials, labor, subcontract costs and overhead. The Company uses the last-in/first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing its inventory, except for the inventories of SCC, SpA and SAPL, which are valued using the first-in/first-out (“FIFO”) method. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, inventories valued at LIFO represented 81% and 80% of total inventories, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment, including significant improvements thereto, are recorded at cost. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the net present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets within the following ranges:

 

Buildings and improvements    15 to 20 years
Machinery and equipment    2 to 12 years
Computer hardware and software    1 to 5 years

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 (“SFAS 142”) “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS 142 requires that the carrying value of goodwill be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when other conditions exist by applying a fair value based test. The Company’s annual evaluation of December 31, 2008 and 2007 determined that there was no impairment. Significant judgments are required to estimate the fair value of reporting units and include projecting future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other

assumptions. The projections are based on historical performance and estimated future results. SFAS 142 also requires annual fair value based impairment tests for other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Those annual impairment tests determined that there were no impairments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. Intangible assets consist primarily of technological know-how, trademarks, customer contracts, patents and deferred loan origination costs. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives of 4 to 18.5 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and certain definite-lived identifiable intangible assets to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires the disclosure of fair value information for certain assets and liabilities, whether or not recorded in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate such value. The Company has the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The Company considers the carrying amount of these items, excluding long-term debt, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. Refer to Note 9 for fair value disclosures of long-term debt.

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. SFAS 157 requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The standard also requires that a company use its own nonperformance risk when measuring liabilities carried at fair value, including derivatives. In February 2008, the FASB approved a FASB Staff Position (FSP) that permits companies to partially defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The FSP did not permit companies to defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are re-measured or disclosed at least annually. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are re-measured or disclosed at least annually for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively. The Company deferred adoption of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. As of January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any financial or non-financial instruments measured for at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Product Warranty. The Company provides an accrual for the estimated future warranty costs of its products at the time the revenue is recognized. These estimates are based upon analyses of historical experience of product returns and the related cost.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Company amortizes unrecognized gains and losses exceeding 10% of the accumulated benefit obligation for the pension plans and for the health and life insurance benefits over the average remaining service period of the plan participants. This period approximates the period during which the benefits are earned. This amortization method of postretirement benefit obligations distributes gains and losses over the benefit period of the participants thereby minimizing any volatility caused by actuarial gains and losses.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. A valuation allowance is recorded when realization of deferred tax assets is not likely.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Company’s policy is to translate balance sheet accounts using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and statement of operations accounts using the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which the transactions are recognized. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction losses of $146, $48 and $27 are included in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Revenue Recognition. Sales and related costs of sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers, unless delivery terms specify transfer of title at point of destination in which case the sales and related cost of sales are recognized when goods are delivered. The Company enters into long-term contracts with certain customers for the supply of parts during the contract period. The Company establishes estimates for sales returns and allowances based on historical experience. The Company does not provide customers with general rights of return for products sold; however, in limited circumstances, the Company will allow sales returns and allowances from customers if the products sold do not conform to specifications.

Research and Development. Research and development (“R&D”) costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $ 15,837, $13,847 and $11,528, respectively, of which $1,268, $1,711 and $1,505, respectively, were reimbursed by customers. Net R&D expenses of $14,569, $12,136 and $10,023 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Repair and Maintenance Costs. The Company’s policy is to expense repairs and maintenance as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized where it is probable that the expenditure resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance.

Stock Options. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Stock compensation expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award as if the awards were in-substance, multiple awards, which results in an acceleration of compensation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes that the significant accounting estimates most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the financial results include: product warranty reserves, inventory reserves for excess or obsolescence, realization of goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and postretirement benefit liabilities, workers’ compensation liabilities, stock compensation and valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective beginning in fiscal 2009. This statement will be applied prospectively as of the beginning of 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded amounts related to the noncontrolling interests’ share in income and expense of $47 and $(76), respectively, and additionally, SFAS 160 requires the liability related to noncontrolling interests to be presented as a separate caption within shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the liability related to noncontrolling interests was $29 and $76, respectively.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will significantly impact its disclosure requirements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP applies prospectively to all intangible assets acquired after the effective date of January 1, 2009, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise. We are evaluating any impact that this FSP may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. While SFAS 162 formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In 2004, Stanadyne refinanced its existing U.S. senior bank facility comprised of term loans and revolving credit lines, which resulted in one new term loan (the “Term Loans”) and a new revolving credit line (the “Revolving Credit Line”). In addition, Stanadyne issued new senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) totaling $160,000.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Stanadyne had a total borrowing availability of $24,697 and $28,795, respectively, against the total maximum limit of the $35,000 Revolving Credit Line of which $6,401 and $7,231 were used for standby letters of credit at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Any amounts outstanding against the Revolving Credit Line are payable on August 6, 2009. If there were any borrowings on the Revolving Credit Line, the interest rate would have been 3.16% and 8.5% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Stanadyne also pays a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Line.

(9) Long-term Debt – (Continued)

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had $15,000 and $21,200, respectively in Term Loans outstanding. The Company will repay approximately $10.0 million of Term Loan in 2009 as a result of the Excess Cash Flow, as the term is defined by the Term Loans, generated in 2008. The Company repaid $6.2 million of the Term Loan in 2008 as a result of the Excess Cash Flow generated in 2007. There were no required Term Loan payments in 2007. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Loan which expires August, 2009. The Term Loan and Revolving Credit Loan agreements were amended in July 2006 to require net proceeds of $23.5 million from the sale of certain assets and liabilities of PEPC to be applied to the Term Loans. The Company repaid an additional $19.0 million of Term Loans from surplus cash in December 2006. Because the Company made pre-payments, the Term Loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 are payable with a final balloon payment of $15,000 on August 6, 2010. The Term Loans are primarily LIBOR borrowings and are re-priced approximately every month based on prevailing market rates. Accrued interest was calculated on outstanding term loan balances at 4.46% and 8.75% at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Interest is paid each calendar quarter.

Payment of the Revolving Credit Line and Term Loans (the “Senior Bank Facility”) is an obligation of Stanadyne Corporation (the “Borrower”) and is guaranteed by SAHC and each domestic subsidiary of SAHC, other than the Borrower (the “Guarantors”). The Senior Bank Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and by a pledge of substantially all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of SpA and SAPL. In addition, the Senior Bank Facility is subject to financial and other covenants, including limits on indebtedness, liens and capital expenditures, and restrictions on dividends or other distributions to stockholders.

Stanadyne had $160,000 of Notes outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 at a fixed interest rate of 10.00%. The Notes are due on August 15, 2014. Payment of the Notes is an obligation of Stanadyne and is guaranteed by PEPC. In addition, the Notes are subject to covenants including limitations on indebtedness, liens, and dividends or other distributions to stockholders.

On December 20, 2004, Holdings issued $100 million of senior discount notes (the “Discount Notes”) due in 2015. The Discount Notes bear interest at a stated rate of 12%. The Discount Notes were issued at a discounted price of 58.145% resulting in net proceeds of approximately $58,145 before considering financing costs. Interest will accrete until August 15, 2009. The Discount Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Holdings and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under the Stanadyne’s Senior Secured Bank Facility. The Discount Notes are not guaranteed by Stanadyne or any of the other subsidiaries of Holdings and are effectively subordinated to all of Stanadyne’s secured debt. Amortization of original issue discount interest expense was $10,238 and $9,108 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s current and long-term borrowings at SAPL was 9.2% and 7.21%, respectively.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings at SpA was 6.46% and 5.21%, respectively.

The fair values of the Company’s Term Loans and short-term borrowings approximated their recorded values at December 31, 2008 and 2007 based on similar borrowing agreements offered by other major institutional banks. The fair value of the Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $109,600 and $153,800, respectively. The fair value of Holdings’ Discount Notes based on bid prices at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $45,000 and $76,625, respectively.

(10) Pensions

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all of the domestic hourly and salaried employees. Benefits under the pension plan are based on years of service and compensation levels during employment for salaried employees and for the years of service for hourly employees. It is the policy of the Company to fund the pension plan in an amount at least equal to the minimum required contribution as determined by the plan’s actuaries, but not in excess of the maximum tax-deductible amount under Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may make discretionary contributions of any amount within this range based on financial circumstances and strategic considerations which typically vary from year to year. Plan assets are invested primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities.

The Company also has two nonqualified plans titled the “Stanadyne Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan” and the “Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan” (together, the “SERP”), which are designed to supplement the benefits payable to designated employees under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan. The annual benefit payable under the SERP is equal to the difference between the benefit the designated employee would have received under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan if certain Code limitations did not apply to the designated employee’s Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan benefit.

Benefits may be paid under the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan and the SERP in the form of (i) a straight-life annuity for the life of the participant; (ii) a 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity whereby the participant receives a reduced monthly benefit for life and the surviving spouse receives 50%, 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly benefit for life; and (iii) for participants with an accrued benefit of $5 or less, a lump sum. The SERP expense was $295, $323 and $518 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (a defined benefit plan) (the “Pension Plan”) to freeze the Pension Plan with respect to all participants so that no future benefits accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date were not affected. With respect to such benefits, participants continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors, remain unchanged. The assets continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for certain executives participating in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan.

(10) Pensions – (Continued)

The effect of the Pension Plan freeze resulted in curtailment gains of $9,996 for the Pension Plan and $19 for the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (see Note 11). These one-time curtailment gains are equal to the reduction in the plans’ projected benefit obligations due to the freeze of $9,382 and unrecognized prior service costs of $633.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and the accrued benefit obligation of the pension plans in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

(10) Pensions – (Continued)

Actuarial assumptions used in accounting for the pension plans were:

 

     As of
December 31,
2008
    As of
December 31,
2007
 

Benefit obligation at year-end:

    

Assumed average salary compensation increase

   N/A     N/A  

Discount rate

   6.25 %   6.25 %

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
2008
    Year Ended
December 31,
2007
    Year Ended
December 31,
2006
 

Net periodic benefit cost for the year:

      

Assumed average salary compensation increase

   N/A     N/A     4.00 %

Discount rate

   6.25 %   6.00 %   5.75 %

Expected long-term rate of return on assets

   8.25 %   8.25 %   8.75 %

The assumed average salary compensation increase of 4% reflected the current economic conditions in 2006. Changes to the Pension Plan to freeze benefits as of March 31, 2007 made assumptions for future salary compensation increases unnecessary for valuation of the December 31, 2007 and 2008 benefit obligation.

The discount rate used to value the pension obligation is developed with consideration given to a number of factors, including the current interest rate environment, benchmark fixed-income yields, peer comparisons, and expected future pension benefit payments.

The expected return on assets assumption is developed with reference to historical returns, forward-looking return expectations, the pension plan’s investment allocation, and peer comparisons. The Company selected an 8.25% per annum investment return assumption for the purpose of calculating 2008 pension expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.” This rate of return is net of investment expenses.

In selecting the expected return assumption, the Company takes into consideration information provided by the pension plan trustee and the pension plan’s actuary. Based on the asset allocation percentages in the Company’s current investment policy, the actuary’s January 2008 investment return model produced a range of expected investment returns over the next 20 years of 5.9% to 9.3%. Based on the 5,000 investment return simulations produced by the model, it is anticipated that a passively invested fund allocated in accordance with the Company’s investment policy would generate an average annual return over the 20-year projection period equal to or in excess of 5.9% three-quarters of the time, while returns of 9.3% or greater would be anticipated 25% of the time. Therefore, the “best-estimate” range, based on this model, is 5.9% to 9.3%. Based on the foregoing considerations, and historical performance of the fund assets since 1988, the Company believes that an expected return assumption of 8.25% per annum is reasonable.

The Company was required to make $1.6 million in contributions to the Pension Plan in 2008 for the 2007 plan year. The minimum required contribution in 2009 for the 2008 plan year is approximately $0.8 million. Minimum required contributions for the calendar years 2008 and 2007 were $3.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company expects the minimum required contribution to the Pension Plan in 2009 will be approximately $2.3 million.

(10) Pensions – (Continued)

Asset management objectives under the Pension Plan’s investment policy include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and providing adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements.

The Company’s Pension Plan asset allocation at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and targeted allocation for 2009 by asset category are as follows:

 

Asset Category

  

Target

Allocation

    Percentage of
Plan Assets
 
     2009     2008     2007  

Equity securities

   70 %   68 %   70 %

Debt securities

   30 %   32 %   30 %
              
     100 %   100 %
              

The equity securities and debt securities do not directly include any amounts of Company stock, Notes or Discount Notes at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Assets are generally rebalanced to the target asset allocation quarterly.

Estimated future benefit payments are as follows:

 

2009

   $ 4,582

2010

     4,812

2011

     5,035

2012

     5,332

2013

     5,701

Subsequent five years

     33,216

In accordance with Italian Civil Code, the Company provides employees of SpA a leaving indemnity payable upon termination of employment. The amount of this leaving indemnity is determined by the employee’s category, length of service, and overall remuneration earned during service. Amounts included as part of accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, in total, at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $5,060 and $6,647, respectively. Leaving indemnity expense was $733, $332 and $832 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(11) Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries currently make available certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees if they were hired before January 1, 2007. Full-time employees of the Company, hired before January 1, 2007, may become eligible for those benefits when they reach retirement, provided they are age 57 or older and have at least ten consecutive years of service immediately preceding retirement, if such programs are still in effect.

Effective June 1, 2003, the Company implemented changes to the retiree health plans by standardizing cost sharing guidelines for all U.S. retirees. The Company’s cost commitment for employees who were hired prior to 1997 is one hundred dollars per month per eligible participant prior to becoming Medicare-eligible and fifty dollars per month when Medicare-eligible. Employees hired after 1996 are required to pay the full cost of postretirement medical coverage. Employees who retired before 1998 are eligible for Company-provided life insurance benefits. Employees who retire after 1997 are allowed to purchase life insurance through the Company at full cost.

The following table presents the plan’s change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and the accrued benefit obligation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:

Due to the changes implemented June 1, 2003 to the retiree health plans that standardized cost sharing guidelines for all U.S. retirees, assumed health care costs trend rates do not have a significant effect on amounts reported for the other postretirement plan benefits.

Postretirement health care and life insurance plan amounts shown are determined based on a measurement date of December 31, which coincides with the Company’s year end.

(12) Income Taxes – (Continued)

U.S. federal, state and foreign net income taxes paid by the Company amounted to $3,485, $8,239 and $4,539 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income from continuing operations before taxes from domestic operations of Holdings was $9,330, $18,423 and $3,928 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Income before taxes from domestic operations of Stanadyne was $19,847, $27,794 and $12,356 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loss from continuing operations before taxes from foreign operations of the Company was $4,223, $8,211 and $4,654 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As a result of losses in current and previous years, the Company has unused net operating loss carry-forwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $5,549 at December 31, 2008, which, if not used to offset future state taxable income, will expire over the period 2009 to 2021. The Company also has unused foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $9,249 at December 31, 2008 of which $5,000 will expire in 2011 and $4,249 will expire in 2012.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Holdings had valuation allowances of $1,638 and $1,229, respectively, for state tax benefits that will not be realized. It is more likely than not that all other deferred tax assets will be fully realized based on projections for future taxable income and the expectation that a significant portion of these deferred tax assets are to be realized by offsetting them against temporary items.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31 are presented as follows:

   $ 293
      

All of the unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate. A liability for potential penalties and interest of $32 was recorded during 2008. The Company recognized interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect any material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits to occur over the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and foreign jurisdictions, and the Company is subject to routine audit by many different tax authorities. 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 prior to 2004.

(13) 401(k) Plan

Substantially all of the Company’s domestic employees are eligible to participate in the Stanadyne Corporation Savings Plus Plan (“401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan provides such employees with the opportunity to save for retirement on a tax deferred basis. Effective April 1, 2007, the 401(k) Plan was amended to: (i) increase Stanadyne’s matching contribution to 100% of employee pre-tax contributions on the first 1% of compensation and 50% of employee pre-tax contributions on the next 5% of compensation so that if an employee contributes 6% of compensation, the Stanadyne match would total 3.5% of that employee’s compensation; and (ii) provide for automatic enrollment at 3% of compensation for all new employees and all current employees who were not then contributing 3% or more of compensation. The Company made matching contributions of $1,649, $1,407 and $265 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

(14) Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2008, four former and retiring employees exercised stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock at $0.47 per share for $36. During 2008, 2007 and 2006 a total of 112,500, 100,000 and 215,000 shares, respectively were purchased by the Company for $106, $82 and $119, respectively and are held as treasury stock.

Stock Options. In August 2004, Holdings established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”) to provide for the award of non-qualified stock options to attract and retain people who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards granted under the Option Plan vest over a period of three to four years contingent upon achievement of certain financial performance targets as defined by the Option Plan and expire 10 years after the date of grant.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
2008
    Year Ended
December 31,
2007
    Year Ended
December 31,
2006
 

Risk-free interest rate

   3.85 %   5.14 %   4.72 %

Expected dividend yield

   0.0 %   0.0 %   0.0 %

Expected volatility

   33 %   30 %   30 %

Expected term in years

   6.25     6.25     6.25  

For option grants in 2008 and 2007, the expected volatility is based on historical volatility of small capitalization companies in the same industry sector as the Company. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method described in the guidance provided by SFAS 123R. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option.

(18) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings generally incidental to its business. While the results of any litigation or regulatory issue contain an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of any known, pending or threatened legal proceeding, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to potential environmental liability and various claims and legal actions which are pending or may be asserted against the Company concerning environmental matters. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company from Metromedia Company (“Metromedia”) on December 11, 1997, Metromedia agreed to partially indemnify the Company for certain environmental matters.

(18) Commitments and Contingencies – (Concluded)

The effect of this indemnification is to limit environmental exposure of known sites. However, there are limitations to this indemnification. Estimates of future costs of environmental matters are inevitably imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the development and application of new technologies, the identification of new sites for which the Company may have remediation responsibility and the apportionment and collectability of remediation costs among responsible parties. The Company establishes reserves for these environmental matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable and has accrued its best estimate, $880 and $932, with respect to these matters at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. However, management does not believe that the costs associated with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company provides a limited warranty for specific products and recognizes the projected cost for this warranty in the period the products are sold. The Company’s warranty accrual is included as a component of accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s warranty accrual are presented below:

 

     2008     2007  

Warranty liability, beginning of year

   $ 2,536     $ 5,667  

Warranty expense based on products sold

Warranty liability, end of year

   $ 1,085     $ 2,536  
                

 

(19) Segments

The Company had two reportable segments, Precision Products and Precision Engine, until the sale of PEPC on July 31, 2006 to Defiance, Inc. Subsequent to the sale, the Company had one reportable segment based on the aggregation of operating segments. The majority of the Precision Engine segment is included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(22) Discontinued Operations

On June 30, 2006, Stanadyne entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Defiance, Inc. for the sale of PEPC to GT Technologies, a part of Gen Tek, Inc. The sale included the U.S.-based assets of PEPC, certain liabilities as defined in the Purchase Agreement, and all of the stock in PEPC’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Precision Engine Products, Ltda.

On July 31, 2006, Stanadyne concluded the sale of PEPC to Defiance, Inc., according to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Gross proceeds from the sale totaled $25.3 million in cash, including $0.4 million due to a working capital adjustment based on the July 31, 2006 account balances. Gross proceeds were reduced by transaction costs of $0.8 million for net proceeds of $24.5 million of which $23.5 million was applied to a repayment of the Term Loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations of $7.7 million represented the loss from the discontinued operations of the PEPC segment of $3.3 million and the loss on disposal related to the sale of discontinued operations of $8.7 million and was net of a related income tax benefit of $4.3 million. The loss did not include any allocation of corporate costs that were previously allocated to the discontinued operations, and accordingly, are included in continuing operations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, net sales from discontinued operations were $34.7 million.

(23) Reorganization

During 2007, Stanadyne executed reorganization plans targeted to improve efficiencies in several of its locations. The U.S. salaried workforce was reorganized resulting in the elimination of 31 salaried positions. In connection with the reorganization, the Company recorded a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million related to termination benefits. As of December 31, 2007, $0.4 million was paid with the remainder paid in 2008. The workforce in Italy was also reorganized in 2007 resulting in the elimination of 41 positions and a charge of $1.2 million to selling, general and administrative expenses for termination benefits. As of the end of 2007, $0.6 million was paid with the remainder paid in 2008. Finally, the Company consolidated its European sales and marketing activity in the Brescia, Italy location, allowing the closure of the Trappes, France office. A total of 9 positions were eliminated as a result of this reorganization, while three others were transferred to other Stanadyne locations. In connection with this action, the Company recorded a charge of $0.9 million to selling, general and administrative expenses related to termination benefits. As of December 31, 2007, $0.3 million was paid; the remainder was paid in 2008.

As part of the 2007 reorganization activities, the Company also recognized $0.9 million of additional depreciation expense related to a change in the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment in its U.S. and Italy-based operations. This amount was included as a component of cost of sales.

During 2006, the Company also reorganized the U.S. salaried workforce to improve efficiencies resulting in the elimination of 61 salaried positions. In connection with the reorganization, the Company recorded a charge of $1.4 million related to the termination benefits which was reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. Also during 2006, the Company extended the reorganization to its foreign operations resulting in the termination of two management employees in its Italian subsidiary, Stanadyne, SpA. The termination costs related to that activity were approximately $1.2 million and were also reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, $2.0 million of the $2.6 million of termination benefits was paid, and the balance was paid in 2007.

 

(24) Subsequent Events

Declining customer demand in the final weeks of 2008, as well as weaker than expected customer orders in the first weeks of 2009, necessitated work force reductions in the U. S. and international operations. The reductions in hourly and salaried employees in the U.S. operations equaled approximately 28% of the workforce. Many of these terminated employees had vested benefits under the Company’s defined benefit Pension Plan and, consequently we evaluated the possibility that a curtailment of the pension liability occurred as a result of the workforce reduction. Although the number of terminated employees with pension benefits was significant, the Company determined that the resulting decrease in pension liability was de minimis. Severance benefits related to the terminated employees totaled approximately $0.7 million and were recorded in January, 2009.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The audit committees for Holdings and Stanadyne consist of the same directors and serve the same function in both companies. The duties and responsibilities of the audit committees include the engagement and termination of the companies’ independent registered public accounting firm, otherwise overseeing the independent auditor relationship, reviewing significant accounting policies and internal controls and reporting its findings to the full board of directors. Mr. Woodward is Chairman of the Audit Committees. The Board of Directors of each of Holdings and Stanadyne has determined that Mr. Wier has the attributes of an “audit committee financial expert” pursuant to the regulations of the SEC. However, Mr. Wier may not be considered “independent” pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Holdings’ or Stanadyne’s securities were so listed (which they are not), as he is an employee of the majority stockholder of Holdings. Security holders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC relating to Mr. Wier’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on Mr. Wier any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committees and Boards of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committees or Boards of Directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

All of the Company’s employees and directors are subject to the terms of its formal Business Ethics Policy and Foreign Corrupt Practices Compliance Policy (the “Policies”). These Policies define in addition to other issues, the legal, moral and ethical guidelines which all employees, including executive officers, are required to follow in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities. Although the Company is not subject to the listing requirements for equity issuers which would require having a code of ethics, the Policies constitute a code of ethics within the guidelines set forth in Regulation S-K Item 406.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Discussion of compensation for the named executive officers relates to Stanadyne since the named executive officers of Holdings do not receive any compensation for serving as officers of Holdings.

The overall objectives of Stanadyne’s compensation program are to attract, retain and motivate talented individuals who have strategic vision and are responsible for achieving Stanadyne's short-term and long-term objectives of expanding its markets, increasing sales, containing expenses, generating cash flow and net income, and creating shareholder value.

With Stanadyne’s base salary, stock options and other incentive and retirement programs, the compensation program is designed to recognize position and responsibility as well as reward accomplishment of the Company’s short and long-term objectives. The short term objectives (one year) include achieving operating cash flows as projected in the Company’s annual operating plan, improving the Company’s quality as perceived by its customers, and implementing a lean manufacturing philosophy. The longer term goals include increasing revenue base, increasing earnings as measured by EBITDA and achieving world-class performance in the areas of quality, delivery and customer satisfaction.

The elements of Stanadyne’s compensation program are as follows:

Base Salary – Base salary is designed to attract and retain employees over the period of their employment and is established commensurate with the responsibilities of the position and the executive’s qualifications, skills and experience. We periodically compare the base salaries of our executive officers to the marketplace to maintain a competitive position. These comparisons most often are determined by our knowledge of the base salary provided to similar positions in the other portfolio companies of our majority stockholder as well as through the use of professional recruiting agencies to assist in the identification and qualification of prospective candidates for employment.

Performance Based Incentive Compensation – We believe in a philosophy of pay-for-performance. Consequently, our performance based incentive compensation plans provide opportunities for our executives to earn up to a maximum of 125% of their base salary. As position and responsibility increase, a greater portion of the executive’s compensation is performance based. The performance based compensation is earned according to the terms of the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) which was subsequently renamed in 2007 as the Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) to include all U.S.-based hourly and salary employees, as well as select members of management in our foreign subsidiaries.

The EIP establishes annual goals for operating cash flow, defined as EBITDA, minus fixed capital expenditures, plus or minus changes in balance sheet operating asset and liability accounts. Each executive is assigned a Participation Factor expressed in terms of a percentage of the executive’s base salary. These Participation Factors are recommended annually by our Chief Executive Officer and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The performance bonus is determined for each executive by multiplying the annual base salary by the individual Participation Factor, multiplied by a Payout Factor. The Payout Factor is a percentage determined by dividing the actual annual operating cash flow result by the annual operating cash flow goal.

In keeping with our philosophy of rewarding performance, annual operating cash flows that are less than 90% of the annual cash flow goal result in a Payout Factor of zero, and no performance bonus amounts are earned. The Payout Factor is 75% for achieving at least 90% of the annual cash flow goal and increases by 2.5% for each 1% increase in the cash flow percentage of goal, up to 100%. The Payout Factor can increase by an additional 1.0% for each 1% increase in operating cash flow above the annual goal up to a maximum of 125%.

Equity Incentive Compensation – The Compensation Committee believes that a critical element in motivating executives to increase shareholder value is to designate a portion of their compensation to this goal. In the third quarter of 2004, Holdings established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“Option Plan”) to provide for the award of non-qualified stock options to attract and retain persons who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Our Chief Executive Officer recommends individual option awards based on a determination of each employee’s role and responsibility for increasing shareholder value. These recommendations are presented to the Compensation Committee for review and approval. The exercise price of options granted under this Option Plan equals the fair value of the common stock of Holdings on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost is associated with the issuance of these options.

As of December 31, 2004, a total of 14,740,000 options to purchase Holdings common stock were granted under the Option Plan to certain members of management and 25,000 options were granted to one Director, Mr. Wier. In 2006, Mr. Jones was awarded 3,500,000 stock options as part of his employment agreement. Also in 2008 and 2006, Mr. Vorih was awarded 150,000 and 250,000 stock options, respectively.

To further encourage pay for performance, vesting of the option awards each year is dependent upon achieving targeted levels of earnings expressed as EBITDA and defined in the Option Plan. Subject to the terms of the Option Plan, 25% of the options granted in 2004 vested upon completion of the audit of the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004. Based on the financial results for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no additional options vested.

There were no stock options exercised by the Named Executive Officers during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

Retirement Benefits – Our executive officers are eligible to participate in retirement plans available to all of our eligible employees, including the tax-qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans, as well as a tax-qualified 401(k) plan.

Pension benefits are provided to the named executive officers under the terms of the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) and the Stanadyne Automotive Corp. Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”), both defined benefit plans. The Pension Plan provides benefits up to the maximum allowable annual compensation limits as defined by IRS regulations, and the SERP calculates benefits that are earned in excess of those earned under the Pension Plan. Both plans are described in more detail later in this section.

Welfare Benefits – Our executives participate in employee benefit plans generally available to our employees, including medical and health plans, as part of a comprehensive and competitive compensation program.

Additional Benefits and Perquisites – Company executives at a level of responsibility of Vice President and higher receive the following additional benefits and perquisites based on approval of our Chief Executive Officer. These additional perquisites provide a level of market competitive benefits and serve to secure and retain employment of the Company’s executive team.

 

   

Cash Allowance – Executives are provided an annual amount of $6,000 to allow the executive to engage assistance for financial planning, join community-based organizations to foster the Company image, or encourage a health-conscious lifestyle through wellness programs.

Medical Reimbursement Plan – The executives are provided a maximum annual reimbursement of $5,000 of medical-related costs not covered by the Company’s underlying health benefit plans.

 

   

Automobile Allowance – Executives are provided a Company-leased vehicle for their personal use or paid $800 as a monthly allowance for transportation.

 

   

Life Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for variable annuity life insurance policies with a death benefit equal to two times average annual compensation for all of the Named Executive Officers except the Chief Executive Officer who receives a Company paid term life insurance policy with a death benefit of two times base salary.

 

   

Long Term Care Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for long-term care insurance policies that provide a maximum monthly benefit of $6,000 for health care if the executive is unable to care for him/herself.

 

   

Executive Disability Insurance – The Company pays annual premiums for disability coverage designed to supplement the underlying coverage provided to all of the Company’s U.S.-based employees. The policy is owned by the individual executive and attempts to insure up to a maximum of 70% of annual compensation. Due to the insurer’s underwriting limits, the actual amount of compensation insured is often less than the 70% maximum.

 

   

Personal Umbrella Liability Insurance – The Company will reimburse the executives’ annual premium cost of a $2 million personal umbrella liability insurance policy.

The Stanadyne Compensation Committee is comprised of Samuel S. Frieder and Gordon H. Woodward, both full-time members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Frieder serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The role and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

 

   

Evaluating the job performance of the Chief Executive Officer in relationship to mutually established goals and objectives;

 

   

Reviewing and approving recommendations for periodic salary and benefit changes for Stanadyne’s leadership team, including the Named Executive Officers; and

 

   

Administering the Company’s Option Plan, including establishing vesting targets and approving option awards as recommended by our Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee meets as often as is necessary, usually in conjunction with the quarterly Board of Directors meetings.

The Compensation Committee has structured the elements of the executives’ overall compensation to reward performance through a balance of achievement of both the near and longer term objectives of the Company. Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain the most experienced and capable executives, the EIP compensation is designed to motivate success over a twelve month period and the Option Plan is designed to ensure the executives’ commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value.

In 2008, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jones, provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases for each of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 3% to 9% based on his evaluation of the performance of each and their existing base salary relative to the marketplace. Mr. Jones also recommended the promotion of Joseph M. Vorih to Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved these recommendations. At

the same time, the Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Jones’ base salary and approved an increase of 7.0%, from $500,000 to $535,000 per year.

During 2007, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jones, provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases for each of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 2% to 5% based on his evaluation of the performance of each and their existing base salary relative to the marketplace. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved these recommendations. At the same time, the Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Jones’ base salary for the first time since his appointment in January 2006 and approved an increase of 11.1%, from $450,000 to $500,000 per year.

During the first quarter of 2007, Mr. Jones recommended to the Compensation Committee that changes to the Company’s defined benefit and 401(k) plans be made effective March 31 and April 1, 2007, respectively. These changes were recommended to make the Company’s overall retirement benefits more aligned with the marketplace by de-emphasizing the defined benefit plan and increasing the role of the 401(k) plan. As a result, the Compensation Committee recommended and the board of directors approved changes to both plans. The impact of these changes was to freeze benefits earned by all employees under the defined benefit plan effective March 31, 2007 and significantly increase the level of Company contributions under the 401(k) plan effective April 1, 2007. The effect of the pension plan changes on the Named Executive Officers benefits reduced the amount of pension benefit that would have otherwise been received at retirement if the plan had not been frozen. The increase to the 401(k) plan increased the maximum amount of Company benefit available to the Named Executive Officers from $300 per year to 3.5% of each executive’s annual base plus EIP compensation, up to the maximum allowable IRS limitation.

During 2006, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jones, provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee for base salary increases for each of the Named Executive Officers ranging from 2% to 6% based on his evaluation of the performance of each and their existing base salary relative to the marketplace. Mr. Jones also recommended Mr. Sullivan’s promotion to Vice President of Precision Engine Products Corp. in March 2006 to fill a vacancy left by a former employee’s resignation. Subsequent to the sale of that segment of our business in July, 2006, Mr. Jones recommended that Mr. Sullivan be promoted to his current position and receive a stock option for 150,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock. The Compensation Committee evaluated and approved each of these recommendations because they were complementary to motivation of the short and long term goals of the Company.

Stock options in the above table are subject to the terms and conditions of the Stanadyne Holdings, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“Option Plan”). The stock option awards vest in equal portions over the four calendar years following the grant date. Vesting is contingent upon achieving a targeted level of EBITDA as defined by the Option Plan in each calendar year. Options awarded in 2004 and options awarded to Mr. Jones have vested at 25% of the number granted, based on achievement of the Target EBITDA for the calendar year 2004. Target EBITDA was not achieved in calendar years 2005, 2006, 2007, or 2008 and consequently no additional vesting has taken place.

No options were exercised by the named executive officers in 2008.

The Company provides retirement benefits to the named executive officers through a defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution 401(k) plan.

(1) Subsequent to year-end, William Kelly elected to retire. The present value of his SERP benefit starting April 1, 2009 is $814,202

Pension benefits are provided to the named executive officers under the terms of the Stanadyne Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) and the Stanadyne Automotive Corp. Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”), both defined benefit plans. The Pension Plan provides benefits up to the maximum allowable annual compensation limits as defined by IRS regulations. The SERP calculates benefits that are earned in excess of those earned under the Pension Plan. Amounts provided in the above table have been calculated using the same actuarial assumptions used for the pension liability valuation described in Note 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Report. Individual benefits are assumed to be payable at a normal retirement age of 65 and are determined using a discount

rate of 6.25% and applying the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality table, sex distinct. The terms of the Pension Plan and the SERP provide for early retirement after 10 years of company service at a reduced benefit of 6% for every year before age normal retirement age of 65. A more complete description of these pension plans follows.

The Pension Plan provides benefits for all domestic non-collectively bargained, salaried employees of the Company and hourly employees of the Company employed at the Windsor, Washington and Jacksonville facilities. Salaried employees who participate in the Pension Plan are provided benefits calculated under one of two different formulas. Salaried participants are entitled to the greater of the two benefit amounts.

Under Formula One, benefits are based upon (i) a percentage of the monthly average compensation received by a participant during the five consecutive calendar years of employment that would produce the highest such average (the “Final Average Compensation”), (ii) the years of service of the participant with the Company and certain related or predecessor employers (“Years of Credited Service”), and (iii) a percentage of the primary age 65 Social Security benefit. Specifically, the accrued benefit payable under Formula One of the Pension Plan is equal to (w) + (x) - (y) - (z), where

 

(w)   =   1.7% of Final Average Compensation times Years of Credited Service (not in excess of 30)
(x)   =   1% of Final Average Compensation times Years of Credited Service in excess of 30
(y)   =   1.667% of primary Social Security times Years of Credited Service (not in excess of 30)
(z)   =   Annuity for employees actively employed prior to July 2, 1988 (where applicable)

Formula Two under the Pension Plan provides salaried participants with an accrued monthly benefit equal to $21.00 times Years of Credited Service less an Annuity for employees actively employed prior to July 2, 1988 (where applicable).

For purposes of the Pension Plan, compensation used in the determination of Final Average Compensation includes total earnings received for personal services to the Company. The total compensation that can be considered for any purpose under the Pension Plan is limited to $230,000 for 2008, $225,000 for 2007 and $220,000 for 2006 pursuant to requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as amended by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (“EGTRRA”) for prior years as well as for future years. However, the pension plan was frozen March 31, 2007; therefore, no earnings past that date are considered in calculating the final average compensation. The Code also places certain other limitations on the annual benefits that may be paid under the Pension Plan.

The Company also maintains two nonqualified plans entitled the “Stanadyne Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan” and the “Stanadyne Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan” (together, the “SERP”), which are designed to supplement the benefits payable under the Pension Plan for designated employees. The annual benefit payable under the SERP is equal to the difference between the benefit the designated employee would have received under the Pension Plan if certain Code limitations did not apply and the designated employee's Pension Plan benefit.

Benefits may be paid under the Pension Plan and the SERP in the form of (i) a straight-life annuity for the life of the participant; (ii) a 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity whereby the participant receives a reduced monthly benefit for life and the surviving spouse receives 50%, 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly benefit for life; and (iii) for participants with an accrued benefit of $5,000 or less, a lump sum.

Note:

 

(1) Amounts shown represent the annual single-life benefit at age 65 from the Pension Plan (as defined herein) plus the benefit from the SERP (as defined herein).

 

(2) For this illustration, the annual social security benefit was assumed to be $16,476 for the calculation of the Social Security offset.

Effective March 31, 2007, Stanadyne amended the Pension Plan to freeze benefits with respect to all participants so that no future benefits will accrue after that date. As required by law, benefits already accrued as of such date will not be affected. With respect to such benefits, participants will continue to vest and all other retirement options, including early retirement reduction factors will continue unchanged. The assets will continue to be held in trust for participants until they retire. The accrual of benefits for the named executives who participate in the SERP is based on the accrual of benefits under the Pension Plan. Therefore, the freeze of the Pension Plan also resulted in the freeze of the SERP.

401(k) Plans

The Company sponsors two savings plans which are intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All regular U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the Stanadyne Corporation Savings Plus Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

Beginning on January 1, 1998, hourly employees at the Tallahassee plant were eligible to participate in the Precision Engine Products Corp. Retirement Fund (the “PEPC 401(k) Plan”). The participants in the PEPC 401(k) Plan received a Company core contribution of $300 per year plus a maximum matching contribution of $200. Since the sale of Precision Engine in July, 2006, contributions to the PEPC 401(k) Plan ceased because all employees were transferred to the buyer.

Effective April 1, 2007, Stanadyne amended the 401(k) Plan to: (i) substantially increase Stanadyne’s matching contribution to 100% of employee pre-tax contributions on the first 1% of compensation and 50% of employee pre-tax contributions on the next 5% of compensation so that if an employee contributes 6% of compensation, the Stanadyne match would total 3.5% of that employee’s compensation; and (ii) provide for automatic enrollment at 3% of compensation for all new employees and all current employees who are not then contributing 3% or more of compensation.

Mr. Wiggins serves as the Chairman of the Board and receives an annual director’s fee of $250,000. He also received incentive compensation of $231,250 in 2008 under the Company’s EIP bonus plan. Mr. Wier is paid an annual fee of $25,000 for his service on the boards of directors of Holdings and Stanadyne. No other directors of Holdings or Stanadyne receive compensation for their service, but the Company does reimburse all directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending board and committee meetings.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

M. David Jones

Pursuant to an employment agreement with Stanadyne dated January 10, 2006, Mr. Jones served as President and Chief Executive Officer during 2008 at a base salary of $517,500 and other benefits including an annual performance bonus opportunity of 100% of base salary. His base salary is subject to increase in an amount and frequency as determined by the Board.

Mr. Jones employment agreement is effective until his termination of employment due to death, disability, for cause, as defined in the agreement, or without cause upon written notice from the Executive Committee of the Board. Mr. Jones may terminate the agreement for “Good Reason,” which includes, among other circumstances, when the executive is assigned duties inconsistent with, or is subject to any other action by Stanadyne that results in a diminution of, his position, authority, duties or responsibilities. If employment is terminated without cause or for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Mr. Jones for a period of eighteen months following the date of termination, his base salary at the rate in effect at the date of termination and the cost of participation in the Company’s group health benefit plans. Based on Mr. Jones’ salary and benefits for 2008, these amounts would equal $802,500 and $11,517, respectively.

On March 31, 2006, Stanadyne entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Jones, amending the employment agreement with him that was entered into on January 10, 2006. The amendment to the employment agreement provided for options to purchase 3.5 million shares of common stock of Holdings at $0.47 per share rather than $0.67 per share that was originally reported. These options continue to be subject to all of the terms of Holdings’ 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the amendment to the employment agreement further provided Mr. Jones the opportunity to purchase a maximum of $2.0 million of Holdings’ common stock at a price of $0.47 per share rather than $0.67 per share that was originally reported, by no later than March 31, 2006. Mr. Jones purchased 800,000 shares pursuant thereto.

William W. Kelly

On October 6, 2008, Stanadyne entered into an agreement with William W. Kelly, which had the effect of amending, restating and superseding his existing employment agreement dated as of July 22, 1996. Stanadyne and Mr. Kelly entered into the new agreement to provide for a seamless and mutually beneficial transition to Mr. Kelly’s retirement. The term of the new agreement was set to expire December 31, 2009, but allowed for extension through February 28, 2010 if a “change of control” was then being actively negotiated. During the term, Mr. Kelly continued to serve as Stanadyne’s Chief

 

52


Table of Contents

Technology Officer until the earlier of December 31, 2009 or when his successor is employed, at which time he would become the Chief Technology Officer Emeritus.

The new agreement provided that Mr. Kelly would continue to receive his current base salary through December 31, 2008 and would receive a reduced annual base salary in 2009 of $169,000 commensurate with a reduced work schedule in transition to his retirement. Stanadyne could terminate the agreement for cause or upon Mr. Kelly’s disability. Stanadyne could also terminate the agreement without cause upon payment of certain severance benefits to Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly could also terminate the agreement for “Good Reason” and would be entitled to certain severance benefits. In each case, the severance benefits included an amount equal to a year’s base salary at the time of termination. The agreement terminated automatically upon Mr. Kelly’s death or upon a change of control. Upon a change of control, the new agreement provided for 100% vesting of outstanding stock options, with no other payments to Mr. Kelly in connection therewith other than benefits earned to date. Mr. Kelly’s receipt of severance benefits was subject to his executing a release of claims in favor of Stanadyne and its affiliates.

Mr. Kelly announced his retirement, which became effective March 15, 2009, so that no severance benefits became payable to him.

William D. Gurley

Effective January 10, 2006, William D. Gurley retired from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Stanadyne. Severance benefits totaling $2,023,894 were calculated based on the terms of Mr. Gurley’s employment agreement. Amounts totaling $598,676, $599,154 and $826,064 were paid in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

In accordance with a management services agreement, the Company is required to pay Kohlberg an annual fee of $750,000 for providing certain ongoing management and advisory services, payable quarterly in advance on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term of the management services agreement. Kohlberg is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. The management fees are subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

The Company does not have any formal policies or procedures with respect to reviewing or approving related party transactions. However, it would expect its board of directors to consider any such transactions consistent with its fiduciary duties.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

As the President of Holdings and Chief Executive Officer of Stanadyne, director M. David Jones is not considered “independent” based on the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market if the securities of each of Holdings and Stanadyne were so listed (which they are not). While each of the other directors is a member of the management of the controlling stockholder of the Company, the boards of directors of Holdings and Stanadyne have concluded that each director is “independent” based on such listing standards since the management fee received by such stockholder is less than 5% of the gross revenues of the Company, and the boards of directors have concluded that such relationship, in their opinion, does not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. However, the directors serving on the audit committee, namely Gordon Woodward and James Wier, may

not be considered independent based on the more stringent independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market applicable to directors serving on audit committees since each of the audit committee members is a member of the management of the controlling stockholder of the Company.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, professional services were performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for the audits of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were $457,153 and $390,550, respectively.

Audit Related Fees

There were no audit related fees paid in 2008 and 2007 for Stanadyne or Holdings.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed for our tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $183,152 and $83,712, respectively. These fees primarily related to preparation of state and federal income tax returns, including a calculation for federal extraterritorial income exclusion.

All Other Fees

There were no amounts billed for 2008 and 2007 services.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Process, Policies and Procedures

The audit committees for Holdings and Stanadyne consist of the same directors and serve the same function in both companies. The Audit Committees have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditor. The Company’s management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Management and the independent auditors have more time, knowledge and detailed information about the Company than do Audit Committee members. Consequently, in carrying out their oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committees are not providing any professional certification as to the independent auditors’ work or any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements, including with respect to auditor independence.

The Audit Committees must pre-approve the annual engagement and all audit and non-audit services rendered to Holdings and Stanadyne by the independent accountants other than described in the annual engagement letters. Such pre-approval is waived if services may be rendered within the de minimis exception contained in Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
