Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account subsidiary credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $166.8 million compared with the book value of $166.0 million. At December 31, 2011, the fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $146.1 million compared with the book value of $145.3 million.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and derivatives. HBB maintains significant accounts receivable balances with several large retail customers. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, receivables from HBB's five largest customers represented 48.8% and 49.0%, respectively, of the Company's net accounts receivable. In addition, under its mining contracts, NACoal recognizes revenue and a related receivable as coal or limerock is delivered or predevelopment services are provided. These mining contracts provide for monthly settlements. HBB and NACoal's significant credit concentration is uncollateralized; however, historically minimal credit losses have been incurred. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, but does not generally require advance payments or collateral. The Company enters into derivative contracts with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the LIBOR swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of its subsidiary and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.

Foreign Currency Derivatives: HBB held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $10.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012, denominated in Canadian dollars. HBB held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $15.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011, primarily denominated in Canadian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of less than $0.1 million and net asset$0.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next twelve months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2012, less than $0.1 million of the amount included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as expense into the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.

Interest Rate Derivatives: HBB has interest rate swaps that hedge interest payments on its three-month LIBOR borrowings. The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates and remaining terms of interest rate swap agreements active at December 31:

	Notional Amount				Average Fixed Rate				Remaining Term at
	2012		2011		2012		2011		December 31, 2012
HBB	$	25.0	$	40.0	4.0	%	4.6	%	extending to June 2013

The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $0.5 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2012, $0.3 million of the amount included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as expense into the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements held by HBB on December 31, 2012 are expected to continue to be effective as hedges.
