DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following description of the Hawk Motors, Inc. Employees' 401(k) plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan description or Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan was established January 1, 1993 as a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of Hawk Motors, Inc (the Company and Plan Sponsor) who have completed three months of service, as defined. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawk Corporation. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may elect to contribute 1% to 50% (1% to 15% prior to a July 1, 2003 Plan amendment that changed the contribution percentage) of their pretax compensation to the Plan subject to maximum limitations set by the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans, commonly referred to as rollover contributions. The Plan allows for discretionary contributions by the Plan Sponsor. Plan Sponsor discretionary contributions are allocated based on the proportion a participant's compensation bears to the total compensation paid to all eligible participants. The Plan Sponsor did not make a discretionary contribution for the 2003 Plan year. Forfeitures are used to reduce future Plan Sponsor contributions. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there was $0 and $714, respectively in forfeitures available to reduce future contributions. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Plan Sponsor's contributions and (b) Plan net earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. 3 Hawk Motors Employees' 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) December 31, 2003 and 2002 and Year Ended December 31, 2003 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN -- CONTINUED VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. On December 23, 2003 all active participants in the Plan became 100% vested in all Plan Sponsor discretionary and matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Prior to that date, vesting of Plan Sponsor discretionary contributions plus actual earnings thereon was based upon years of continuous service. A participant was 100% vested after six years of credited service based on a graded vesting schedule. Distributions from a participant's account are limited to termination of employment, death, retirement or proven hardship. INVESTMENT OPTIONS Prior to the Plan merger (see Note 7), the Plan's funds were primarily held in a group annuity contract issued by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA). Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct Plan Sponsor and employee contributions to any of the investment fund options offered by the Plan, including the Hawk Corporation common stock. Participants may change their investment options and transfer funds between investment options daily. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS In the case of normal retirement, death, permanent disability or termination prior to retirement, a participant may elect to receive the payout of his or her vested account balance in the form of installments, an annuity or a lump sum. EXPENSES The Plan Sponsor pays substantially all costs of Plan administration. Brokers' fees are reflected in the net investment return in each participant's account. 4 Hawk Motors Employees' 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) December 31, 2003 and 2002 and Year Ended December 31, 2003 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENT VALUATION -- GUARANTEED INCOME FUND The Plan has entered into an investment contract, the Guaranteed Income Fund (Fund), with CIGNA. CIGNA maintains the contributions to this Fund in a general account, which is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Investments in the Guaranteed Income Fund are included in the financial statements at contract value, as determined by CIGNA, which approximates fair value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings and transfers in, less participant withdrawals, administrative expenses and transfers out. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. However, CIGNA has the right to defer certain disbursements (excluding retirement, termination, and death or disability disbursements) or transfers from the Fund when total amounts disbursed from the pool in a given calendar year exceed 10% of the total assets in that pool on January 1 of that year. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rates were approximately 3.0% and 4.4% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, based on the yields of the underlying investments and considering factors such as projected investment earnings, the current interest environment, investment expenses, and a profit and risk component. The rate may never be less than 0% nor may it be reduced by more than 2.10% during any calendar year. Interest rates are declared in advance and guaranteed for six month periods. INVESTMENT VALUATION -- ALL OTHER INVESTMENTS All other investments are stated at fair value as determined by CIGNA on the last business day of the Plan year. All investments of the Plan are fully participant-directed. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 5 Hawk Motors Employees' 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) December 31, 2003 and 2002 and Year Ended December 31, 2003 3. INVESTMENTS During 2003, the Plan's investments (including investments purchased, sold, as well as held, during the year) appreciated in fair value as follows:
NET REALIZED AND UNREALIZED APPRECIATION IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS -------------- Pooled separate accounts $ 384,594 Hawk Corporation common stock 62 --------- $ 384,656 =========
The fair value of individual investments that represented 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31, 2002, are as follows: Guaranteed Income Fund $ 752,112 Janus Fund 844,579
4. PLAN TERMINATION The Plan Sponsor has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts and all participant account balances would be distributed based upon the value of the participant's account balance on the termination date. 6 Hawk Motors Employees' 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) December 31, 2003 and 2002 and Year Ended December 31, 2003 5. INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan has received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated February 6, 2002, stating that the written form of the underlying prototype plan document is qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and that any employer adopting this form of a plan will be considered to have a plan qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Code. Therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. 6. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST Transactions with parties-in-interest consist of purchases and sales of CIGNA sponsored funds. Such transactions are exempt from being prohibited transactions. 7. PLAN MERGER In December 2003, the Plan merged with, and all of its net assets were transferred, on a participant account basis, into the Friction Products Co. Profit Sharing Plan (Merged Plan). Effective January 1, 2004, the Merged Plan was renamed the Hawk Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan (Successor Plan). Effective January 1, 2004, the participants of the Merged Plan became participants in, and subject to the provision of the Successor Plan. 7 SIGNATURES The Plan. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the trustees (or other persons who administer the employee benefit plan) have duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
