The company also manufactures and services locomotive components, including compressors and pumps.
The total consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition was approximately $304.7 million in cash. The Company financed the transaction with proceeds from a new, $500 million credit facility, which consists of a $200 million term loan and a $300 million revolving line of credit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Standard Car Truck Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Standard Car Truck Company (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries (see note A to the financial statements) (collectively, the Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 the Companys 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Standard Car Truck Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE ASUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Standard Car Truck Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) design, manufacture and market products for sale to the railroad freight car and locomotive industry. Standard Car Truck Company sells primarily to customers in North America and is a leader in designing stabilization systems for railroad car trucks.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard Car Truck Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Barber Truck International Inc., SanCast Inc., Durox Company, SCT-Asia Inc., SCT Technology LLC and SCT Europe Ltd., and its majority owned subsidiaries, Barber Brake Beam LLC and Barber Tian Rui Railway Supply Co. The minority interest attributable to the outside equity interest in its majority owned subsidiaries is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Triangle Engineered Products, Railroad Equipment Associates, Melampy Manufacturing Company, Barber Spring Company, Barber Spring Ohio and ZefTek, Inc. operate as divisions of Standard Car Truck Company, whose accounts are also included in the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis and do not include the accounts of Anchor Brake Shoe Company (Anchor), a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary, which was not part of the sale of the Company that occurred on December 5, 2008 (see note S). In preparing these carve-out statements, management did not eliminate transactions between the consolidated group and Anchor (see note O); however, management has eliminated the Companys investment in Anchor and balances due to Anchor through retained earnings.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated.
In October 2007, the Company formed Barber Tian Rui Railway Supply Co., a joint venture with the Tianrui Group (a Chinese company), to market cast steel railway wheels for railway rolling stock. As of December 31, 2007, this joint venture has not commenced activity.
In 2007, the wholly-owned subsidiaries Henry Miller Spring and Manufacturing Company and Henry Miller Spring and Sales Company were dissolved. No gain or loss resulted from this dissolution.
Business Segments
The Companys operations are organized into one reportable business segment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss of the product has passed to the customer, which generally occurs when products are shipped. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of sales.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, changes in the Companys unrealized gains on investments, changes in the Companys cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and changes in minimum pension liability of its defined benefit pension plan.
Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders equity, consists of the following at December 31, 2007:
7
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments |
$ | 234,393 | ||
Foreign currency translation adjustment |
(58,915 | ) | ||
Minimum pension liability |
(8,396 | ) | ||
Total |
$ | 167,082 | ||
Foreign Currency Translation
Balance sheet amounts from the Companys European operation are translated at the exchange rates in effect at year-end, and statement of earnings amounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from companies in the railroad industry. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that remain outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Sales to the Companys two most significant customers accounted for approximately 29% of the Companys net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. Amounts due from these same customers comprised approximately 22% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2007.
Investments
Investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair market value on the balance sheet. The difference between cost and fair value is included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity.
Inventories
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out cost method. Market value approximates replacement cost or net realizable value of inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense totaled $2,455,747 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever circumstances indicate that a potential impairment may exist. Potential impairment is evaluated by reporting unit by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. Fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using discounted future cash flows. Management has completed its fair value impairment test as of December 31, 2007, and no impairment is indicated.
8
All of the Companys intangible assets have definite lives and are subject to amortization, which is calculated using the straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted net cash flows of the asset acquired over the remaining depreciation or amortization period, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value (based on an estimate of discounted net future cash flows). No impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Warranties
The Company records a liability for an estimate of costs that it expects to incur under its basic limited warranty at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the Companys warranty liability include the number of units sold and historical and anticipated rates of claims and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability based on changes in these factors.
Income Taxes
The Company is generally not liable for Federal income taxes pursuant to its election of S Corporation status. Company income is allocated to and included in the individual returns of the stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. The Company continues to be subject to certain state and foreign income taxes. SCT Europe Ltd. is subject to income taxes in the United Kingdom and, at December 31, 2007, it has generated a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,470,000 and a related deferred tax asset of approximately $839,000. This asset has been fully reserved at December 31, 2007, due to the uncertainty of its realization.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturities. Investments in marketable securities are carried at their fair market values on the balance sheet. The carrying values of long-term bank obligations approximate their fair values because the effective interest rates on those obligations reflect current market rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to potential interest rate volatility. These instruments are recorded at their fair values on the balance sheet, with changes in these fair values recorded as a charge to earnings in the current period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the under-funded or over-funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status as other comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 on January 1, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and its results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, to create greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest, (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
9
financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FAS 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on various related matters such as de-recognition, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Further, per FSP FIN 48-2, issued on February 1, 2008, applicable to certain non-public entities, this statement defers the applicability of FIN 48 for the Company until the calendar year 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance of SFAS No. 160 will become effective as of the beginning of the Companys fiscal year on January 1, 2009. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE HDEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The Standard Car Truck and Affiliates Executive Incentive Compensation Plan is a non-qualified defined contribution plan covering all eligible highly compensated employees of the Company and its affiliates.
Under the terms of the plan agreement, the Company may provide for an annual discretionary contribution to each participants deferral account at the end of each plan year. The amount of this contribution is based on the Companys annual profits and set by each employer each plan year. The plan does not allow participants to defer a portion of their salary.
12
The expense for discretionary contributions to this plan was $421,068 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE IPROFIT-SHARING PLAN
The Standard Car Truck Company 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust covers substantially all of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plan may provide a discretionary matching contribution which, for 2007, was equal to 25% of the first 6% of the amount of earnings deferred by each participant. This plan also may provide an annual discretionary contribution, credited to each participants profit-sharing account pro rata, according to the earnings of the individual during the plan year. The employer contribution for a plan year is not allocated to any participant not employed by the employer on the last day of the plan year (December 31). Additionally, participants may elect to make pretax contributions in amounts that do not exceed Internal Revenue Code limitations.
The expense for discretionary contributions to the plan was $482,880 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE JMANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
During 2000, the Company created the Standard Car Truck Company Senior Management Incentive Compensation Program. This program provides for a bonus to be paid to certain key employees, if still employed, should a sale of the Company occur. In 2006, the Company amended the program to allow participants to receive an advance bonus that would otherwise be paid out upon the sale of the Company. This amendment was done in connection with the refinancing of the Companys debt in October 2006 (see note K), which also allowed the stockholders to receive special distributions. An amount representing advance bonuses totaled $5,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE KLONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In October 2006, the Company entered into a new credit agreement to refinance its existing debt. The new agreement provides for a total facility of $150,000,000. This includes an $80,000,000 term loan and a $70,000,000 line of credit. A balance of $4,149,577 existed on the line of credit at December 31, 2007. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 beginning in March 2007. A final balloon payment of unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on December 11, 2011. Availability under the line of credit is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which totaled $5,966,570 at December 31, 2007, leaving the Company with available credit of $59,883,853 on that date. The agreement bears interest at prime or LIBOR contract plus a percentage, based on the Companys election. Balances accrue interest at various interest rates ranging from 5.47% to 7.25% at December 31, 2007. The credit agreement is secured by the common stock of the Company and substantially all of its assets. The agreement contains financial covenants that the Company has met, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.
In October 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Swap A) expiring in September 2010. Swap A limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $25,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 4.70%.
In October 2006, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements. One agreement (Swap B) limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $20,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 5.13%. Swap B expires in November 2011. The other interest rate swap agreement (Swap C) limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on another $20,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 5.11%. Swap C expires in November 2009.
In September 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Swap D), which expires in September 2008. Swap D limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $9,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 3.72%.
The fair values of interest rate swaps, which are included in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet, are as follows at December 31, 2007:
Swap A |
$ | (568,844 | ) | |
Swap B |

Swap D |

Total fair value |
$ | (1,853,743 | ) | |

The change in the fair values of the interest rate swaps resulted in an increase to interest expense of $1,895,470 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The basic goal underlying the investment policy of the pension plan is to ensure that the assets of the plan, along with expected contributions of the plan sponsor, will be invested in a prudent manner to meet the obligations of the plan as they come due.
The Company expects to distribute between approximately $18,000 and $25,000 in annual benefits from the plan in each of the next five years.
The Company amended the Barber Spring Ohio Employees Pension Plan and Trust to freeze all benefit accruals effective December 31, 2007.

NOTE ASUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Standard Car Truck Company and its subsidiaries (the Company) design, manufacture and market products for sale to the railroad freight car and locomotive industry. Standard Car Truck Company sells primarily to customers in North America and is a leader in designing stabilization systems for railroad car trucks.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard Car Truck Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Barber Truck International Inc., SanCast Inc., Durox Company, SCT-Asia Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Barber Brake Beam LLC, Barber Tian Rui Railway Supply Co., SCT Technology LLC and SCT Europe Ltd. Triangle Engineered Products, Railroad Equipment Associates, Melampy Manufacturing Company, Barber Spring Company, Barber Spring Ohio and ZefTek, Inc. operate as divisions of Standard Car Truck Company, whose accounts are also included in the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis and do not include the accounts of Anchor Brake Shoe Company (Anchor), a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary, which was not part of the sale of the Company that occurred on December 5, 2008 (see note S). In preparing these carve-out statements, management did not eliminate transactions between the consolidated group and Anchor (see note O); however, management has eliminated the Companys investment in Anchor and balances due to Anchor through retained earnings.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated.
In October 2007, the Company formed Barber Tian Rui Railway Supply Co., a joint venture with the Tianrui Group (a Chinese company), to market cast steel railway wheels for railway rolling stock. As of September 30, 2008, this joint venture has not commenced activity.
In 2007, the wholly-owned subsidiaries Henry Miller Spring and Manufacturing Company and Henry Miller Spring and Sales Company were dissolved. No gain or loss resulted from this dissolution.
In July 2008, the Company sold 20% of the outstanding common shares of SCT Technology LLC to members of SCT Europe Ltd.s management.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, are presented in accordance with the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim reporting. In managements opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed have been made. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto presented on Form 8K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2008.
Business Segments
The Companys operations are organized into one reportable business segment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss of the product has passed to the customer, which generally occurs when products are shipped. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of sales.
6
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, changes in the Companys unrealized gains on investments, changes in the Companys cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, and changes in minimum pension liability of its defined benefit pension plan.
Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders equity, consists of the following at September 30:
2008 | 2007 | ||||||
Unrealized (losses) gains on available-for-sale investments |
$ | (871,813 | ) | $ | 496,996 | ||
Foreign currency translation adjustment |
(388,547 | ) | 15,989 | ||||
Minimum pension liability |
(232,012 | ) | | ||||
Total |
$ | (1,492,372 | ) | $ | 512,985 | ||
Foreign Currency Translation
Balance sheet amounts from the Companys European operation are translated at the exchange rates in effect at year-end, and statement of operations amounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from companies in the railroad industry. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that remain outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Sales to the Companys two most significant customers accounted for approximately 23% and 31% of the Companys net sales for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Amounts due from these same customers comprised approximately 38% and 24% of total accounts receivable at these same dates.
Investments
Investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair market value on the balance sheet. The difference between cost and fair value is included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity.
Inventories
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out cost method. Market value approximates replacement cost or net realizable value of inventories.
7
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Depreciation expense totaled $2,136,566 and $1,838,882 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever circumstances indicate that a potential impairment may exist. Potential impairment is evaluated by reporting unit by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. Fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using discounted future cash flows. Management completed its most recent fair value impairment test at December 31, 2007, and no impairment was indicated at that time. As of September 30, 2008, management believes that no circumstances exist that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or intangible assets.
All of the Companys intangible assets have definite lives and are subject to amortization, which is calculated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted net cash flows of the asset acquired over the remaining depreciation or amortization period, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value (based on an estimate of discounted net future cash flows). No impairment charges were recorded for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Warranties
The Company records a liability for an estimate of costs that it expects to incur under its basic limited warranty at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the Companys warranty liability include the number of units sold and historical and anticipated rates of claims and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability based on changes in these factors.
Income Taxes
The Company is generally not liable for Federal income taxes pursuant to its election of S Corporation status. Company income is allocated to and included in the individual returns of the stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. The Company continues to be subject to certain state and foreign income taxes. SCT Europe Ltd. is subject to income taxes in the United Kingdom and has generated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,269,000 and $1,948,000, and related deferred tax assets of approximately $1,111,000 and $662,000 at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These assets have been fully reserved at September 30, 2008 and 2007, due to the uncertainty of their realization.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturities. Investments in marketable securities are carried at their fair market values on the balance sheet. The carrying values of long-term bank obligations approximate their fair values because the effective interest rates on those obligations reflect current market rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to potential interest rate volatility. These instruments are recorded at their fair values on the balance sheet, with changes in these fair values recorded as a charge to earnings in the current period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the under-funded
8
or over-funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status as other comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 on January 1, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and its results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, to create greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest, (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. SFAS No. 141(R) applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Companys fiscal year on January 1, 2009. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard (FSP FAS) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, that amends SFAS No. 157 to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted the required provisions of SFAS No. 157-1 effective January 1, 2008, and there was no material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157-2 to delay the adoption effects related to non-financial assets and does not anticipate there will be a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP FAS No. 142-3 requires companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, entity-specific factors. FSP FAS No. 142-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS No. 142-3 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 becomes effective 60 days following the SECs 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. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesAn Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FAS 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on various related matters such as de-recognition, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Furthermore, per
9
FSP FIN No. 48-2, issued on February 1, 2008, applicable on certain non-public entities, this statement defers the applicability of FIN 48 for the company until the calendar year 2009.

NOTE HDEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The Standard Car Truck and Affiliates Executive Incentive Compensation Plan is a non-qualified defined contribution plan covering all eligible highly compensated employees of the Company and its affiliates.
12
Under the terms of the plan agreement, the Company may provide for an annual discretionary contribution to each participants deferral account at the end of each plan year. The amount of this contribution is based on the Companys annual profits and set by each employer each plan year. The plan does not allow participants to defer a portion of their salary.
The expense for discretionary contributions to this plan was $314,100 and $315,801 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NOTE IPROFIT-SHARING PLAN
The Standard Car Truck Company 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust covers substantially all of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plan may provide a discretionary matching contribution which, for 2008 and 2007, was equal to 25% of the first 6% of the amount of earnings deferred by each participant. This plan also may provide an annual discretionary contribution, credited to each participants profit-sharing account pro rata, according to the earnings of the individual during the plan year. The employer contribution for a plan year is not allocated to any participant not employed by the employer on the last day of the plan year (December 31). Additionally, participants may elect to make pretax contributions in amounts that do not exceed Internal Revenue Code limitations.
The expense for discretionary contributions to the plan was $429,180 and $319,118 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NOTE JMANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
During 2000, the Company created the Standard Car Truck Company Senior Management Incentive Compensation Program. This program provides for a bonus to be paid to certain key employees, if still employed, should a sale of the Company occur. In 2006, the Company amended the program allowing participants to receive an advance bonus that would otherwise be paid out upon the sale of the Company. This was done in connection with the refinancing of the Companys debt in October 2006 (see note K), which also allowed the stockholders to receive special distributions. Amounts representing advance bonuses totaled $5,000,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, and this total is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
The Company was subsequently sold on December 5, 2008 (see note S). As a result, an expense for bonus payouts of $49,013,458 has been accrued as of September 30, 2008, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
NOTE KLONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In October 2006, the Company entered into a new credit agreement to refinance its existing debt. The new agreement provides for a total facility of $150,000,000. This includes an $80,000,000 term loan and a $70,000,000 line of credit. A balance of $11,544,082 and $29,132,390 existed on the line of credit at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 beginning in March 2007. A final balloon payment of unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on December 11, 2011. Availability under the line of credit is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which totaled $1,370,760 at September 30, 2008, leaving the Company with available credit of $57,085,158 on that date. The agreement bears interest at prime or LIBOR contract plus a percentage, based on the Companys election. Balances accrue interest at various interest rates ranging from 4.97% to 6.36% at September 30, 2008. The credit agreement is secured by the common stock of the Company and substantially all of its assets. The agreement contains financial covenants that the Company has met, as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.
In October 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Swap A) expiring in September 2010. Swap A limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $25,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 4.70%.
In October 2006, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements. One agreement (Swap B) limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $20,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 5.13%. Swap B expires in November 2011. The other agreement (Swap C) limits the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on another $20,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 5.11%. Swap C expires in November 2009.
In September 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Swap D) that expired in September 2008. Swap D limited the effect of increases in the three-month LIBOR rate on $9,000,000 of the term loan to a fixed rate of 3.72%.

The fair values of interest rate swaps, which are included in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, are as follows at September 30:
2008 | 2007 | |||||||

Swap D |
| 33,670 | ||||||
Total fair value |
$ | (2,615,000 | ) | $ | (1,853,743 | ) | ||
The change in the fair values of the interest rate swaps resulted in additional interest expense of $761,257 and $1,895,470 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company expects to distribute between approximately $18,000 and $25,000 in annual benefits from the plan in each of the next five years.

The Company is involved in certain matters of litigation, substantially all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are based on the historical financial statements of Wabtec Corporation (Wabtec or the Company) and Standard Car Truck (SCT) after giving effect to Wabtecs acquisition of SCT as described at Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 is presented as if the acquisition of SCT had occurred on September 30, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007 are presented as if the SCT acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2007 and were carried forward through each of the respective periods.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price, calculated as described in Note 1 to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on various estimates. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the valuations of net tangible assets, intangible assets and other working capital.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had the Company and SCT been a combined company during the specified periods.

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands)
(UNAUDITED)
Basis of Presentation
On December 5, 2008, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (Wabtec or the Company) completed the acquisition of Standard Car Truck Company (SCT). SCT manufactures engineered components for locomotives and freight cars. The total purchase price was approximately $304.7 million.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2008 is presented to give effect to Wabtecs acquisition of SCT as if the transaction had been consummated on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2008 gives effect to the Companys acquisition of SCT using the purchase method of accounting and applies the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of Wabtec and SCT for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are presented as if Wabtecs acquisition of SCT had been consummated on January 1, 2007, and carried forward for each of the respective periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of Wabtec and SCT for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 have been prepared using the historical consolidated statements of operations data of Wabtec and SCT for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and giving effect to Wabtecs acquisition of SCT using the purchase method of accounting and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
SCTs year end is December 31, and quarter end is on September 30. Wabtec uses a 4-4-5 week quarter which ends on or about September 30. However, the year end is always December 31.
Purchase Accounting
Adjustments to audited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect an estimated preliminary purchase price of approximately $304.7 million, which is mostly comprised of cash and $4.8 million that is payable upon settlement of the working capital adjustment provisions of the purchase agreement. The total preliminary purchase price of the SCT acquisition is as follow (in thousands):

Other Accrued Liabilities |
4,786 | ||
Direct transaction costs |

Total preliminary purchase price |
$ | 304,706 | |
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total preliminary purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to SCTs assets acquired (including net tangible assets, intangible assets and working capital), less liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of December 5, 2008. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible assets, intangible assets and working capital acquired was recorded as goodwill. Wabtecs preliminary estimate for the purchase price allocation related to the December 5, 2008 allocation is as follows:

Intangible asset values for SCT trade names, patents, contracts and customer relationships were determined by a preliminary independent valuation of the present value of the estimated future net cash flows. These values and amortization periods are subject to change based on the completed valuation, which is expected to occur during the first half of 2009. The allocation of the preliminary purchase price and the estimated useful lives and first year amortization on the annualized basis associated with certain assets is as follows (in thousands):
Identifiable Intangible Assets |

Customer Relationships |

The pro forma condensed statement of income reflects the appropriate adjustment to record amortization expense for the acquired intangibles as if the acquisition occurred at January 1, 2007.
Pro Forma Adjustments
(A) | Adjustment represents cash and borrowing by Wabtec to purchase SCT. Payment of the purchase price comprised of $236 million of bank debt, and $63.1 million of cash. Of the bank debt, $30 million is considered short term borrowings. Also, $4.8 million of the purchase price is recorded as an Other Accrued Liability. Offsetting this use of cash, SCTs bank debt is eliminated consisting of $15.5 million of current borrowings, and $69 million of long term debt. On November 4, 2008, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement provided the company with a $300 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. Both facilities expire in January 2013. The 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed off the banks prime rate, or LIBOR. In connection with this refinancing agreement, the Company incurred about $2 million in bank fees and other expenses which were recorded as deferred financing costs to be amortized over the life of the loan. See (M) below. |

(B) | To record estimated purchase accounting effects as if the acquisition had occurred on either the pro forma balance sheet date of September 30, 2008 or on January 1, 2007 for purpose of the pro forma statements of income. Pro forma adjustments are included to remove those assets and liabilities of SCT, which were not acquired or assumed, and the allocation of the purchase price to those assets acquired and liabilities which were assumed from the September 30, 2008 pro forma condensed balance sheet. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities, and therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change once finalized. Because the acquisition actually closed on December 5, 2008, differences in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exist from the pro forma condensed balance sheet. |
(C) | Transaction costs of $782 thousand originally classified by Wabtec as prepaid expenses until the acquisition closed, are considered in the total consideration paid and are reflected in goodwill. |
(D) | Adjustment primarily represents the bank fees incurred with the borrowing under Wabtecs new line of credit and term loan. Costs are capitalized as a non-current asset and will be amortized over 5 years. Total fees paid were $2.8 million. Offsetting the increase in other non-current assets, SCT investments in marketable securities of $3.4 million which were not acquired as part of the acquisition of SCT by Wabtec. |
(E) | Adjustment reflects the reclassification of SCT customer deposits from long term liabilities to current liabilities which is consistent with Wabtecs treatment of customer deposits. |
(F) | The SCT Senior Management Incentive Compensation Program provided for a bonus to be paid to certain key employees should a sale of the Company occur. In 2006, the Company amended the program allowing participants to receive an advance bonus that would otherwise be paid out upon the sale of the Company. Amounts representing advance bonuses totaled $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. With signing the acquisition agreement in September 2008, SCT accrued for bonus payouts of $49 million as of September 30, 2008. Both bonuses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These management bonuses remained a liability of SCT as of September 30, 2008 and are adjusted out of our pro forma condensed financial information. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, SCT liquidated this liability prior to the acquisition closing date of December 5, 2008. See (K) and (Q) below. |
(G) | To eliminate outstanding SCT indebtedness, consisting of $15.6 million of current borrowings and $69 million of long term debt. Offsetting this decrease is the acquisition financing incurred by Wabtec consisting of $30 million of current and $206 million of long term debt. |
(H) | $4.8 million of the purchase price is recorded as an Other Accrued Liability. |
(I) | To eliminate historical SCT equity accounts. |
(J) | Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, adjustments to cost of goods sold consist of additional expense of $8.1 million for the incremental fair value of inventory over its historical cost, and the depreciation of the incremental fair value of operating fixed assets. |
(K) | See (F) above. To eliminate expense related to the management incentive bonus which is an expense and liability not assumed by Wabtec as part of the acquisition of SCT. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expense related to this arrangement was $5 million. |
(L) | Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, adjustments primarily consist of $5.8 million of amortization expense related to backlog, contracts, patents, and customer list intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2007. Offsetting this increase in amortization expense, SCT deferred bank fees, not acquired by Wabtec. |
(M) | Net adjustment reflecting the reduction of SCT interest expense on $85 million of borrowings not assumed by Wabtec, offset by the increased interest expense on the $236 million borrowed by Wabtec to complete the acquisition. Interest calculated based on average rates for the periods presented. Similar to the borrowing agreement described in Note (A) above, interest expense is estimated using an average of one-month LIBOR, using the principal repayment schedule per the credit agreement. |
(N) | Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, adjustment to tax provision reflects the tax expense for SCT and for the adjustments to earnings detailed within these pro forma condensed financial statements. Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, the estimated effective tax rate for SCT is approximately 36.5%. |
(O) | Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, adjustments to Cost of Goods Sold consist of additional depreciation expense for the incremental fair value of operating fixed assets. |
7
(P) | See (F) above. To eliminate expense related to the management incentive bonus which is an expense and liability not assumed by Wabtec as part of the acquisition of SCT. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, expense related to this arrangement was $49 million. |
(Q) | Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007, adjustments primarily consist of $3.9 million of amortization expense related to backlog, contracts, patents, and customer list intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Offsetting this increase in amortization expense, SCT deferred bank fees which were not acquired by Wabtec. |
