Note 17 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are valued at the redemption value. Cash and cash equivalents classified as level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy are valued based on either amortized cost or net asset value per share. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are valued at the amortized cost. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparts to its financial instruments.

The following table presents those assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the first nine months of September 30, 2014 using Level 3 inputs:



	Carrying Value		Fair Value Adjustment			Fair Value
Long - lived assets held for sale:
Aerospace Overhaul business	$	8.0	$	(1.2	)	$	6.8
Total long-lived assets held for sale	$	8.0	$	(1.2	)	$	6.8

Long - lived assets held and used:
Goodwill	$	92.5	$	(86.3	)	$	6.2
Indefinite-lived intangible assets	14.2		(5.5		)	8.7
Amortizable Intangible assets	4.4		(4.4		)	—
Fixed assets	1.4		(1.4		)	—
Total long-lived assets held and used	$	112.5	$	(97.6	)	$	14.9

During the first nine months of 2014, assets held for sale of $8.0 million and assets held and used of $112.5 million were written down to their fair value of $6.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, and impairment charges of $1.2 million and $97.6 million, respectively, were included in earnings.

On September 8, 2014, the Company announced plans to: eliminate its Aerospace segment leadership positions and integrate aerospace activities under the direction of Christopher A. Coughlin, executive vice president and group president; close its aerospace engine overhaul business, located in Mesa, Arizona, by the end of the year; evaluate strategic alternatives for its aerospace MRO parts business, also located in Mesa; and close its aerospace bearing facility located in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, rationalizing the capacity into existing facilities, with timing to be determined.

Assets held for sale of $8.0 million associated with the Company's aerospace overhaul business were written down to their fair value of $6.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.2 million. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expected to receive to sell these assets.

In conjunction with the Aerospace announcement, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment for its Drive Systems and Aerospace Aftermarket reporting units. Step one of the goodwill impairment test failed for both of these reporting units. Therefore, the Company conducted step two of the goodwill impairment test. The carrying value of goodwill for the Drive Systems reporting unit was $56.9 million, and the carrying value of the Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit was $35.6 million. The implied fair value of goodwill for the Drive Systems reporting unit was $1.7 million, and the implied fair value of the Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit was $4.5 million. As a result of the carrying value of goodwill for these two reporting units exceeding fair value, the Company recorded a pretax impairment charge of $86.3 million during the third quarter of 2014.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets that were classified as assets held and used associated with the Company's Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit with a carrying value of $14.2 million were written down to their fair value of $8.7 million resulting in an impairment charge of $5.5 million. In conjunction with the Aerospace announcement, the Company also reviewed indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Aerospace segment for impairment. The fair value for these intangible assets was based on a relief from royalty method.

Intangible assets that were classified as assets held and used associated with the Company's Aerospace Aftermarket reporting unit with a carrying value of $4.4 million were written down to their fair value of zero resulting in an impairment charge of $4.4 million. The fair value for these intangible assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis.

Various items of property, plant and equipment, with a carrying value of $1.4 million, were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.4 million. The fair value for these assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of these items, as these assets had been idled.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $559.5 million and $474.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $529.4 million and $441.6 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.
