NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820).” This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 and related guidance within U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to require disclosure of the transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a schedule for Level 3 that separately identifies purchases, sales, issuances and settlements and requires more detailed disclosures regarding valuation techniques and inputs. The Company adopted this standard on its effective date, see Note 12 for disclosures associated with the adoption of this standard.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855).” This update provides amendments to Subtopic 855-10-50-4 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify that an SEC registrant is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The Company adopted this update on its effective date.


2.	Restructuring

The Company has recorded restructuring costs as a result of cost reduction efforts and facility closings. Accruals have been recorded based on these costs and primarily consist of employee termination benefits. We record expenses for employee termination benefits based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.” These expenses are included in Restructuring expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations while the related restructuring accruals are included in Accrued expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded an additional $3.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of pre-tax restructuring expenses related to our 2009 restructuring initiative for employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas as well as facility closures resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $2.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, related to this same initiative. The 2009 initiative has included severance benefits for over 600 employees. This initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2010 with an expected additional total cost of approximately $1.0-$2.0 million during the remainder of 2010.

Pre-tax restructuring expenses, by segment, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were as follows:

5.	Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unvested shares, and shares issuable in connection with certain deferred compensation agreements (“DCUs”).

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, (“ASC 260”) concludes that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company has determined that its outstanding unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. Net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Basic weighted average shares reconciles to diluted weighted average shares as follows:

Options to purchase approximately 2.9 million and 2.5 million shares of common stock as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and, therefore, the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Annually on October 31st, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The Company concluded that the fair value of each of the reporting units was in excess of the carrying value as of October 31, 2009. The Company did not consider there to be any triggering event that would require an interim impairment assessment, therefore none of the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives were tested for impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The Company maintains a $600.0 million unsecured domestic, multi-currency bank revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), which expires on December 21, 2011. In 2008, the Credit Facility was amended to allow the Company to designate certain foreign subsidiaries as designated borrowers. Upon approval from the lenders, the

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

designated borrowers were allowed to receive loans under the Credit Facility. A designated borrower sublimit was established as the lesser of the aggregate commitments or $100.0 million. As of the amendment date, Fluid Management Europe B.V., (FME) was approved by the lenders as a designated borrower. On March 16, 2010, IDEX UK Ltd. (“IDEX UK”) was also approved by the lenders as a designated borrower which allowed them to receive loans under the Credit Facility. FME had no borrowings under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010. IDEX UK’s borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2010 were £22.0 million ($34.9 million). As the IDEX UK’s borrowings under the Credit Facility are British Pound denominated and the cash flows that will be used to make payments of principal and interest are predominately denominated in British Pound, the Company does not anticipate any significant foreign exchange gains or losses in servicing this debt.

At September 30, 2010 there was $284.9 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. The net available borrowing under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010, was approximately $315.1 million. Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding borrowings at the bank agent’s reference rate. Interest on borrowings based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin is payable on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from 24 basis points to 50 basis points. Based on the Company’s credit rating at September 30, 2010, the applicable margin was 40 basis points. An annual Credit Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 10 basis points and is payable quarterly.

At September 30, 2010 the Company had one interest rate exchange agreement related to the Credit Facility. The interest rate exchange agreement, expiring in January 2011, effectively converted $250.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 3.25%. This fixed rate consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreement and the Company’s current margin of 40 basis points on the Credit Facility.

On April 18, 2008, the Company completed a $100.0 million unsecured senior bank term loan agreement (“Term Loan”) with covenants consistent with the existing Credit Facility and a maturity on December 21, 2011. At September 30, 2010, there was $90.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan with $7.5 million included within short term borrowings. Interest under the Term Loan is based on the bank agent’s reference rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin and is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but at least quarterly. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from 45 to 100 basis points. Based on the Company’s current debt rating, the applicable margin is 80 basis points. The Term Loan requires a repayment of $7.5 million in April 2011, with the remaining balance due on December 21, 2011. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay down existing debt outstanding under the Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2010 the Company had an interest rate exchange agreement related to the Term Loan that expires in December 2011. With a current notional amount of $90.0 million, the agreement effectively converted $100.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 4.00%. The fixed rate consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreement and the Company’s current margin of 80 basis points on the Term Loan.

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a forward setting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $300.0 million and an effective date of December 8, 2010 whereby the Company will pay fixed interest and will receive floating rate interest based on LIBOR on the effective date of December 8, 2010. This swap was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of at least $300.0 million of new debt during the fourth quarter of 2010 and was designed to lock in the current market interest rate as of April 15, 2010.

On June 9, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of €81.0 million ($96.8 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.58% Series 2010 Senior Notes due June 9, 2015 (“Senior Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of additional series of notes in the future. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.58% per annum and will mature on June 9, 2015. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior debt. The Company may at any time prepay all or any

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

portion of the Senior Notes; provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, create liens and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of defaults, any holder of the Senior Notes affected thereby may declare all the Senior Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the Senior Notes may declare all the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the private placement to pay down existing debt outstanding under the Euro denominated Credit Facility, with the remainder being available for ongoing business activities.


11.	Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The type of cash flow hedges the Company enters into includes foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized into net income during the period of change.

Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to sell or buy the contracts based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at each balance sheet date.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had three interest rate exchange agreements. The first interest rate exchange agreement, expiring in January 2011, effectively converted $250.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 3.25%. The second interest rate exchange agreement, expiring in December 2011, with a current notional amount of $90.0 million, effectively converted $100.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 4.00%. The fixed rate consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreements and the Company’s current margin of 40 basis points for the Credit Facility and 80 basis points on the Term Loan. The forward setting interest rate contract currently has a notional amount of $300.0 million and an effective date of December 8, 2010. The Company will pay fixed interest and will receive floating rate interest based on LIBOR on the effective date of December 8, 2010. This instrument was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of at least $300.0 million of new debt during the fourth quarter of 2010 and was designed to lock in the current market interest rate as of April 15, 2010.

Based on interest rates at September 30, 2010, approximately $7.8 million of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2010 will be recognized to net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $4.0 million to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in fair market value of these contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was immaterial.

12.	Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


	•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	•	Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Money market investment	$	9,186	$	9,186		—		—
Interest rate agreements	$	10,497		—	$	10,497		—

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the first nine months of 2010.

In determining the fair value of the Company’s interest rate exchange agreement derivatives, the Company uses a present value of expected cash flows based on market observable interest rate yield curves commensurate with the term of each instrument and the credit default swap market to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.

The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of our Credit Facility, Term Loan and Senior Notes, based on the current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, was approximately $478.8 million compared to the carrying value of $485.1 million.


13.	Common and Preferred Stock

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had 150 million shares of authorized common stock, with a par value of $.01 per share and 5 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.01 per share. No preferred stock was issued as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.


14.	Share-Based Compensation

During the nine months ending September 30, 2010, the Company granted approximately 0.9 million stock options and 0.3 million unvested shares, respectively. During the nine months ending September 30, 2009, the Company granted approximately 1.2 million stock options and 0.3 million unvested shares, respectively.

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, that it expected to contribute approximately $4.7 million to these pension plans and $1.0 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2010. As of September 30, 2010, $3.3 million of contributions have been made to the pension plans and $0.7 million have been made to its other postretirement benefit plans. The Company presently anticipates contributing up to an additional $1.7 million in 2010 to fund these pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans.

In March of 2010 the United States enacted two new laws relating to healthcare. The enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 has resulted in comprehensive health care reform. The effect of this new legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


16.	Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


17.	Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The effective tax rate increased to 32.6% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 32.2% in the third quarter of 2009 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

The provision for income taxes increased to $55.7 million in the first nine months of 2010 from $39.7 million in the same period of 2009. The effective tax rate decreased to 32.5% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 33.1% in the same period of 2009 primarily due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.7 million.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. For purposes of this discussion and analysis section, reference is made to the table below and the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included in Item 1.

Performance in the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared with the Same Period of 2009

Sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $373.7 million, a 16% increase from the comparable period last year. This increase reflects a 14% increase in organic sales and 4% from acquisition (Seals — April 2010 and OBL — July 2010), partially offset by 2% from unfavorable foreign currency translation. Sales to international customers represented approximately 50% of total sales in the current period compared to 48% in the same period in 2009.

For the third quarter of 2010, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 47 percent of sales and 43 percent of operating income; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 28 percent of sales and 30 percent of operating income; Dispensing Equipment accounted for 7 percent of sales and 4 percent of operating income; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 18 percent of sales and 23 percent of operating income.

Fluid & Metering Technologies sales of $176.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $19.9 million, or 13% compared with 2009, reflecting a 14% increase in organic growth, 1% from acquisition (OBL — July 2010) and 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic growth was driven by strong global growth in chemical, food, pharma and water and waste water markets. In the third quarter of 2010, organic sales increased approximately 17% domestically and 11% internationally. Organic business sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 46% of total segment sales during the third quarter of 2010 and 41% in 2009.

Health & Science Technologies sales of $104.3 million increased $28.2 million, or 37% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with 2009. This reflects a 24% increase in organic growth and 14% from acquisition (Seals — April 2010), partially offset by 1% from unfavorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic growth reflects market strength across all Health & Science Technologies products. In the third quarter of 2010, organic sales increased 20% domestically and 30% internationally. Organic business sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 43% of total segment sales in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 46% in 2009.

Dispensing Equipment sales of $26.5 million increased $0.9 million, or 4% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with 2009. This increase reflects 9% from organic sales, partially offset by 5% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic growth is due to strength in Asia and parts of Eastern Europe, partially offset by market softness in North America and Western Europe. In the third quarter of 2010, organic sales increased 22% domestically and 5% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 74% of total segment sales in the third quarter of 2010, compared with 78% in the comparable quarter of 2009.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products sales of $67.0 million increased $1.5 million, or 2% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with 2009. This change reflects a 6% increase in organic business volume, partially offset by 4% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The change in organic business reflects strength in rescue equipment and engineered band clamping systems, partially offset by weakness in fire suppression. In the third quarter of 2010, organic business sales decreased 1% domestically and increased 12% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 56% of total segment sales in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 55% in 2009.

Gross profit of $154.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 increased $25.1 million, or 19% from 2009. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 41.2% in the third quarter of 2010 and 39.9% in 2009. The increase in gross margin primarily reflects higher sales volume and change in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $88.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $79.8 million in 2009. The $8.4 million increase reflects approximately $4.9 million for volume related expenses and $3.5 million for incremental costs associated with the acquisitions of Seals in April 2010 and OBL in July 2010. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses were 23.6% for 2010 and 24.7% for 2009.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $3.5 million, while $2.8 million was recorded for the same period in 2009. These restructuring expenses were mainly attributable to employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas and facility closures resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives.

Operating income of $62.4 million and operating margins of 16.7% in the third quarter of 2010 were up from the $46.5 million and 14.4% recorded in 2009, primarily reflecting an increase in volume and cost reductions due to our restructuring initiatives. In the Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment, operating income of $31.6 million and operating margins of 17.8% in the third quarter of 2010 were up from the $25.8 million and 16.4% recorded in 2009, principally due to higher sales and cost reduction initiatives. In the Health & Science Technologies Segment, operating income of $21.7 million and operating margins of 20.8% in the third quarter of 2010 were up from the $14.3 million and 18.8% recorded in 2009 due to higher volume and cost reduction initiatives. In the Dispensing Equipment Segment, operating income of $2.7 million and operating margins of 10.2% in the third quarter of 2010 were up from the $0.3 million of operating loss and (1.2)% recorded in 2009 due to volume, cost reduction initiatives and improved productivity. Operating income and operating margins in the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment of $17.0 million and 25.4%, respectively, were higher than the $15.9 million and 24.3% recorded in 2009 due to higher sales and favorable mix.

Other expense of $1.1 million in 2010 was unfavorable compared with the $1.4 million gain in 2009, due to unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Interest expense increased slightly to $4.2 million in 2010 from $4.0 million in 2009.

The provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, which was $14.2 million. The effective tax rate increased to 32.6% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 32.2% in the third quarter of 2009 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

Net income for the current quarter of $38.6 million increased from the $29.8 million earned in the third quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2010 of $0.47 increased $0.10, or 28%, compared with the third quarter of 2009.

Performance in the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared with the Same Period of 2009

Sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,107.9 million, a 12% increase from the comparable period last year. This increase reflects a 10% increase in organic sales and 2% from acquisition (Seals — April 2010 and OBL — July 2010). Sales to international customers represented approximately 48% of total sales in the current period compared to 46% in the same period in 2009.

For the first nine months of 2010, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 47 percent of sales and 43 percent of operating income; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 26 percent of sales and 28 percent of operating income; Dispensing Equipment accounted for 9 percent of sales and 9 percent of operating income; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 18 percent of sales and 20 percent of operating income.

Fluid & Metering Technologies sales of $524.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $53.3 million, or 11% compared with 2009, reflecting an 11% increase in organic growth. The increase in organic growth was driven by strong global growth across chemical, food, pharma and water and waste water markets. In the first nine months of 2010, organic sales increased approximately 13% domestically and 10% internationally. Organic business sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 45% of total segment sales during the first nine months of 2010 and 40% in 2009.

Health & Science Technologies sales of $292.3 million increased $68.2 million, or 30% in the first nine months of 2010 compared with 2009.

In the first nine months of 2010, organic sales increased 18% domestically and 30% internationally. Organic business sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 41% of total segment sales in the first nine months of 2010, compared to 40% in 2009.

Dispensing Equipment sales of $101.2 million decreased $2.9 million, or 3% in the first nine months of 2010 compared with 2009. This reflects a 2% decrease in organic growth and 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The decrease in organic growth is due to market softness in North America. In the first nine months of 2010, organic sales decreased 13% domestically and increased 5% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 66% of total segment sales in the first nine months of 2010, compared with 64% in the comparable period of 2009.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products sales of $194.4 million increased $1.8 million, or 1% in the first nine months of 2010 compared with 2009. This reflects a 2% increase in organic growth, partially offset by 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The change in organic business reflects strength in engineered band clamping systems, partially offset by weakness in fire suppression. In the first nine months of 2010, organic business sales decreased 5% domestically and increased 8% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 55% of total segment sales in the first nine months of both 2010 and 2009.

Gross profit of $456.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 increased $73.1 million, or 19% from 2009. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 41.2% in the first nine months of 2010 and 38.9% in 2009. The increase in gross margin primarily reflects higher sales volume and change in product mix.

SG&A expenses increased to $267.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 from $242.7 million in 2009. The $24.3 million increase reflects approximately $18.8 million for volume related expenses and $5.5 million for incremental costs associated with the acquisitions of Seals in April 2010 and OBL in July 2010. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses were 24.1% for 2010 and 24.6% for 2009.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $6.4 million, while $8.3 million was recorded for the same period in 2009. These restructuring expenses were mainly attributable to employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas and facility closures resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives.

Operating income of $183.1 million and operating margins of 16.5% in the first nine months of 2010 were up from the $132.4 million and 13.4% recorded in 2009, primarily reflecting an increase in volume and cost reductions due to our restructuring initiatives. In the Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment, operating income of $93.9 million and operating margins of 17.9% in the first nine months of 2010 were up from the $70.7 million and 15.0% recorded in 2009 principally due to higher sales and cost reduction initiatives. In the Health & Science Technologies Segment, operating income of $60.6 million and operating margins of 20.7% in the first nine months of 2010 were up from the $34.7 million and 15.5% recorded in 2009 due to higher volume and cost reduction initiatives.

Operating income and operating margin in the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment of $44.0 million and 22.7% were up from the $42.8 million and 22.2% recorded in 2009 due to higher sales and favorable mix.

Other expense of $0.6 million in 2010 was unfavorable compared with the $0.8 million gain in 2009, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Interest expense decreased to $11.2 million in 2010 from $13.2 million in 2009. The decrease was principally due to lower debt levels and a lower interest rate environment.

The provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $55.7 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, which was $39.7 million. The effective tax rate decreased to 32.5% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 33.1% in the same period of 2009 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

Net income for the current period of $115.6 million increased from the $80.3 million earned in the first nine months of 2009. Diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2010 of $1.40 increased $0.41, or 41%, compared with the first nine months of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010, working capital was $380.1 million and our current ratio was 2.4 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities of $157.3 million were flat compared to the same period in 2009.

Cash flows provided by operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $26.0 million and $18.3 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that improved productivity and tooling to support the global sourcing initiatives, although a portion was for business system technology and replacement of equipment and facilities. Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet expected needs for future growth in the intermediate term.

The Company acquired Seals in April 2010 for cash consideration of $51.3 million and the assumption of approximately $2.7 million in debt related items, OBL in July 2010 for cash consideration of $12.8 million and approximately $2.6 in cash to be paid in the fourth quarter and Periflo in September 2010 for cash consideration of $4.2 million. The cash payment for Seals was financed by borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.

The Company maintains a $600.0 million unsecured domestic, multi-currency bank revolving Credit Facility, which expires on December 21, 2011. At September 30, 2010 there was $284.9 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. The net available borrowing under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010, was approximately $315.1 million. Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding borrowings at the bank agent’s reference rate. Interest on borrowings based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin is payable on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from 24 basis points to 50 basis points. Based on the Company’s credit rating at September 30, 2010, the applicable margin was 40 basis points. An annual Credit Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 10 basis points and is payable quarterly.

At September 30, 2010 the Company has one interest rate exchange agreement related to the Credit Facility. The interest rate exchange agreement, expiring in January 2011, effectively converted $250.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 3.25%. The fixed rate noted above consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreement and the Company’s current margin of 40 basis points on the Credit Facility.

On April 18, 2008, the Company completed a $100.0 million unsecured senior bank term loan agreement (“Term Loan”), with covenants consistent with the existing Credit Facility and a maturity on December 21, 2011. At September 30, 2010, there was $90.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan with $7.5 million included within short term borrowings. Interest under the Term Loan is based on the bank agent’s reference rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin and is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but at least quarterly. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from 45 to 100 basis points. Based on the Company’s current debt rating, the applicable margin is 80 basis points. The Term Loan requires a repayment of $7.5 million in April 2011, with the remaining balance due on December 21, 2011. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay down existing debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2010 the Company has an interest rate exchange agreement related to the Term Loan that expires in December 2011. With a current notional amount of $90.0 million, the agreement effectively converted $100.0 million of floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt at an interest rate of 4.00%. The fixed rate consists of the fixed rate on the interest rate exchange agreement and the Company’s current margin of 80 basis points on the Term Loan.

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a forward setting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $300.0 million and an effective date of December 8, 2010 whereby the Company will pay fixed interest and will receive floating rate interest based on LIBOR on the effective date of December 8, 2010. This instrument was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of at least $300.0 million of new debt during the fourth quarter of 2010 and was designed to lock in the current market interest rate as of April 15, 2010.

will mature on June 9, 2015. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior debt. The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the Senior Notes; provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, create liens and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of defaults, any holder of the Senior Notes affected thereby may declare all the Senior Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the Senior Notes may declare all the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the private placement to pay down existing debt outstanding under the Euro denominated Credit Facility, with the remainder being available for ongoing business activities.

We believe for the next 12 months that cash flow from operations and our availability under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements, interest on all borrowings, required debt repayments, any authorized share repurchases, planned capital expenditures, and annual dividend payments to holders of common stock. In the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon terms acceptable to the Board of Directors, we may obtain all or a portion of the financing for the acquisitions through the incurrence of additional long-term borrowings.


Item 3.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.*

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on our debt when we believe there is a financial advantage in doing so. A treasury risk management policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, describes the procedures and controls over derivative financial and commodity instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Under the policy, we do not use derivative financial or commodity instruments for trading purposes, and the use of these instruments is subject to strict approvals by senior officers. Typically, the use of derivative instruments is limited to foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt. The Company’s exposure related to derivative instruments primarily relates to the forward setting interest rate contract, a 25-basis point movement in the ten year U.S. treasury yield would result in an approximate $7.0 million change in the value of the forward setting interest rate contract.

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Chinese Renminbi. We manage our foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing our customers in the same currency as the source of our products. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within “Other income (expense)-net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s interest rate exposure is primarily related to the $491.6 million of total debt outstanding at September 30, 2010. Approximately 8% of the debt is priced at interest rates that float with the market. A 50-basis point movement in the interest rate on the floating rate debt would result in an approximate $0.2 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense and cash flows. The remaining debt is fixed rate debt.


Item 4.	*Controls and Procedures.*

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed

and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2010 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

During the first nine months of 2010, the Company implemented a new ERP system at one of our larger business units. The Company believes that effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained during and after this conversion.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	*Legal Proceedings.*

The Company and six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of the subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover such settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them.

Claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance have been settled for various insignificant amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the Company’s business unit.

No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
