PART I

Item 1. Business Overview

NN, Inc. has three operating segments, the Metal Bearing Components Segment, the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment, and the Precision Metal Components Segment. As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “NN”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” mean NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Within the Metal Bearing Components Segment, we manufacture and supply high precision bearing components, consisting of balls, cylindrical rollers, tapered rollers, and metal retainers, for leading bearing manufacturers on a global basis. We are a leading independent manufacturer of precision steel bearing balls and rollers for the North American, European and Asian markets. In 2008, Metal Bearing Components accounted for 76% of total NN, Inc. sales. Sales of balls and rollers accounted for approximately 70% of our total net sales with 52% of sales from balls and 18% of sales from rollers. Sales of metal bearing retainers accounted for 6% of net sales. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Through a series of acquisitions, we have built upon our strong core ball business and expanded our bearing component product offering. Today, we offer among the industry’s most complete line of commercially available bearing components. We emphasize engineered products that take advantage of our competencies in product design and tight tolerance manufacturing processes. Our bearing customers use our components in fully assembled ball and roller bearings, which serve a wide variety of industrial applications in the transportation, electrical, agricultural, construction, machinery, mining and aerospace markets.

Within the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment, we manufacture high precision rubber seals and plastic retainers for leading bearing manufacturers on a global basis. In addition, we manufacture specialized plastic products including automotive components, electronic instrument cases and precision electronic connectors. We also manufacture rubber seals for use in various automotive and industrial applications. In 2008, plastic products accounted for 5% of net sales and rubber seals accounted for 4% of net sales.

In 2006, we began to execute on a new five year strategic business plan to leverage our competencies in precision metal products by creating an adjacent platform to the Metal Bearing Components Segment which would broaden our reach into attractive end markets. As part of this new strategy, on November 30, 2006, we added a Precision Metal Components Segment through the acquisition of Whirlaway Corporation (“Whirlaway”) (See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Whirlaway is a high precision metal components and assemblies manufacturer that supplies customers serving the air conditioning, appliance, automotive, commercial refrigeration and diesel engine industries. Our entry into the precision metal components market is part of our strategy to serve markets and customers we view as adjacent to bearing components that utilize our core manufacturing competencies. These products accounted for 15% of net sales in 2008.

The three business segments are composed of the following manufacturing operations:

Metal Bearing Components Segment

Financial information about the segments is set forth in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments

On November 26, 2008, we announced the closure of our precision steel ball manufacturing facility located in Kilkenny, Ireland. The closure was part of our long term strategy to rationalize our European operations. We view the rationalization of manufacturing operations in Europe as a necessary action to adjust our global manufacturing capacity to current and long term market requirements.

During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into an amended and restated $90.0 million revolving credit facility maturing September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. The amended facility was entered into to conform our financial covenants to our current outlook in this difficult economic cycle.

Products

Metal Bearing Components Segment

Precision Steel Balls. At our Metal Bearing Components Segment facilities, we manufacture and sell high quality, precision steel balls in sizes ranging in diameter from 5/32 of an inch (3.969 mm) to 2 ½ inches (63.5 mm). We produce and sell balls in grades ranging from grade 3 to grade 1000, according to international standards endorsed by the American Bearing Manufacturers Association. The grade number for a ball, in addition to defining allowable dimensional variation within production batches, indicates the degree of spherical precision of the ball; for example, grade 3 balls are manufactured to within three-millionths of an inch of roundness. Our steel balls are used primarily by manufacturers of anti-friction bearings where precise spherical, tolerance and surface finish accuracies are required. Sales of precision steel balls accounted for approximately 68%, 67%, and 74% of net Metal Bearing Component Segment sales in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Steel Rollers. We manufacture tapered rollers at our Veenendaal Plant and cylindrical rollers at our Erwin Plant. Most cylindrical rollers are made to specific customer requirements for diameter and length, so there is very little overlap of common cylindrical rollers matching two or more customers’ needs. Rollers are an alternative rolling element used instead of balls in anti-friction bearings that typically have heavier loading or different speed requirements. Our roller products are used primarily for applications similar to those of our precision steel ball product line, plus certain non-bearing applications such as hydraulic pumps and motors. Cylindrical rollers accounted for approximately 4% of consolidated net sales in each year of 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Tapered rollers are used in tapered roller bearings that are used in a variety of applications including automotive gearbox applications, automotive wheel bearings and a wide variety of industrial applications. Tapered rollers accounted for approximately 14%, 14% and 16% of consolidated net sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Metal Retainers. We manufacture and sell precision metal retainers for roller bearings used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Retainers are used to separate and space the rolling elements (rollers) within a fully assembled bearing. We manufacture metal retainers at our Veenendaal Plant.

Plastic and Rubber Components Segment

Bearing Seals. At our Danielson Plant, we manufacture and sell a wide range of precision bearing seals produced through a variety of compression and injection molding processes and adhesion technologies to create rubber-to-metal bonded bearing seals. The seals are used in applications for automotive, industrial, agricultural and mining markets.

Plastic Retainers. At our Lubbock Plant, we manufacture and sell precision plastic retainers for ball and roller bearings used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Retainers are used to separate and space the rolling elements (balls or rollers) within a fully assembled bearing. We manufacture plastic retainers at our Lubbock Plant.

Precision Plastic Components. At our Lubbock Plant, we also manufacture and sell a wide range of specialized plastic products including automotive under-the-hood components, electronic instrument cases and precision electronic connectors and lenses, as well as a variety of other specialized parts.

Precision Metal Components Segment

Precision Metal Components. We sell a wide range of precision metal components. These components are manufactured at the three Whirlaway plants in Ohio (one was closed in the first quarter of 2009) and one plant in Arizona. The precision metal components offered include fluid control components, fluid control assemblies, shafts, and other precision metal parts. The components are used in the following end markets: automotive brake/chassis, thermal air conditioning systems, commercial refrigeration, automotive engine, diesel engine fuel systems, other automotive, and other industrial applications.

Research and Development

The amounts spent on research and development activities by us during each of the last three fiscal years are not material. We expensed amounts as incurred.

Customers

Our products are supplied primarily to bearing manufacturers for use in a broad range of industrial applications, including transportation, electrical, agricultural, construction, machinery, mining and aerospace. Additionally, we supply precision metal, rubber, and plastic components to automotive and industrial companies that are not used in bearing assemblies. We supply approximately 400 customers; however, our top 10 customers account for approximately 78% of our revenue. Only one of these customers, SKF, had sales levels that were 10% or greater of total net sales. In 2008, 36% of our products were sold to customers in North America, 51% to customers in Europe, and the remaining 13% to customers located throughout the rest of the world, primarily Asia and Latin America. Sales to various U.S. and foreign divisions of SKF accounted for approximately 41% of net sales in 2008.

Certain customers have contracted to purchase a majority of their bearing component requirements from us, although only a few are contractually obligated to purchase any specific amounts. Certain agreements are in effect with some of our largest customers, which provide for prices that may be offset by material cost fluctuations. We ordinarily ship our products directly to customers within 60 days, and in some cases, during the same calendar month, of the date on which a sales order is placed. Accordingly, we generally have an insignificant amount of open (backlog) orders from customers at month end. At the U.S. operations of our Metal Bearings Component Segment, we maintain a computerized, bar coded inventory management system with many of our major customers that enables us to determine on a day-to-day basis the amount of these components remaining in a customer’s inventory. When such inventories fall below certain levels, additional product is automatically shipped.

The two-year agreement with Schaeffler Group (INA) effective as of July 1, 2006 expired as of June 30, 2008 and we are currently supplying product at agreed upon commercial terms. In May 2007, a new contract was signed with SKF to supply precision balls in Europe with terms retroactively applied to January 1, 2007 and effective until December 31, 2009.

The five-year supply agreement with SKF providing for the purchase of steel rollers and metal retainers manufactured at our Veenendaal Plant expired during 2008 and we are in the process of negotiating a new agreement with SKF covering tapered rollers and metal retainers.

During 2008, the Metal Bearing Components Segment sold products to approximately 300 customers located in 30 different countries. Approximately 88% of the net sales in 2008 were to customers outside the United States. Approximately 68% of net sales in 2008 were to customers within Europe. Sales to the top ten customers accounted for approximately 84% of the net sales in 2008. Sales to SKF accounted for approximately 53% of net sales of the segment in 2008.

During 2008, the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment sold its products to over 70 customers located principally in North America. Approximately 22% of the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment’s net sales were to customers outside the United States, with the vast majority to customers in Mexico and Canada. Sales to the Segment’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 76% of the Segment’s net sales in 2008.

During 2008, the Precision Metal Components Segment sold its products to 21 customers located in three countries. Approximately 97% of all sales were to customers located within the United States. Sales to the segment’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 89% of the segment’s net sales in 2008.

In both the foreign and domestic markets, we principally sell our products directly to manufacturers and do not sell significant amounts through distributors or dealers.

See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations" for additional Segment financial information.

The following table presents a breakdown of our net sales for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006:


(In Thousands)	2008			2007			2006

Metal Bearing Components Segment	$	321,660		$	303,059		$	272,299
Percentage of Total Sales		75.7	%		72.0	%		82.4	%

Precision Metal Components Segment		64,235			67,384			4,722
Percentage of Total Sales		15.1	%		16.0	%		1.4	%

Plastic and Rubber Components Segment		38,942			50,851			53,304
Percentage of Total Sales		9.2	%		12.0	%		16.2	%

Total	$	424,837		$	421,294		$	330,325

Percentage of Total Sales		100	%		100	%		100	%

The increase in value of Euro denominated sales resulted in net sales increasing $18.9 million in 2008, $19.6 million in 2007 and $1.6 million in 2006 when converted to U.S. Dollars.

The Precision Metal Components Segment includes only one month of revenue in 2006. Based on pro-forma results, 2006 revenues would have been $77.7 million or 19% of the total pro-forma sales. (See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)

Sales and Marketing

A primary emphasis of our marketing strategy is to expand key customer relationships by offering high quality, high precision products with the value of a single supply chain partner for a wide variety of components. Within the Metal Bearing Components Segment, our global sales organization includes nine direct sales and 13 customer service representatives. Due to the technical nature of many of our products, our engineers and manufacturing management personnel also provide technical sales support functions, while internal sales employees handle customer orders and other general sales support activities. For the Precision Metal Components Segment, the current sales structure consists of utilizing manufacturers’ representatives at key accounts supported by senior segment management and engineering involvement.

Our Metal Bearing Components Segment marketing strategy focuses on increasing our outsourcing relationships with global bearing manufacturers that maintain captive bearing component manufacturing operations. Our marketing strategy for the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment and the Precision Metal Components Segment is to offer custom manufactured, high quality, precision parts to niche markets with high value-added characteristics at competitive price levels. This strategy focuses on relationships with key customers that require the production of technically difficult parts and assemblies, enabling us to take advantage of our strengths in custom product development, tool design, component assembly, and precision molding and machining processes.

Our arrangements with our domestic customers typically provide that payments are due within 30 days following the date of shipment of goods. With respect to foreign customers of our domestic business, payments generally are due within 90 to 120 days following the date of shipment in order to allow for additional freight time and customs clearance. For some customers that participate in our inventory management program, sales are recorded when the customer uses the product. See "Business -- Customers" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Manufacturing Process

We have become a leading independent bearing component manufacturer through exceptional service and high quality manufacturing processes. Because our ball and roller manufacturing processes incorporate the use of standardized tooling, load sizes, and process technology, we are able to produce large volumes of products while maintaining high quality standards.

The key to our high quality production of seals and retainers is the incorporation of customized engineering into our manufacturing processes, metal to rubber bonding competency and experience with a broad range of engineered resins. This design process includes the testing and quality assessment of each product.

Within the precision metal components industry we are well positioned in the market place by virtue of our focus on critical components and assemblies for highly engineered mechanical systems used in various durable goods.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we employed a total of 1,967 full-time employees. Our Metal Bearing Components Segment employed 263 in the U.S., 926 in Europe, and 101 in China; our Plastic and Rubber Components Segment employed 278, all in the U.S.; and our Precision Metal Components Segment employed 391, all in the U.S. In addition, there were eight employees at our corporate headquarters. Of our total employment, 19% are management/staff employees and 81% are production employees. We believe we are able to attract and retain high quality employees because of our quality reputation, technical expertise, history of financial and operating stability, attractive employee benefit programs, and our progressive, employee-friendly working environment. The employees in the Eltmann Plant, Pinerolo Plant and Veenendaal Plant are unionized. We have good labor relations, and we have never experienced any significant involuntary work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees worldwide to be excellent.

We signed a new agreement with the union representatives of our workers at our Eltmann Plant for significant contract revisions including new wage rates and increased working hours during February 2008. During February 2009, production ceased at the Kilkenny, Ireland plant of the Metal Bearing Components Segment and the plant is in the process of being closed. The entire work force of the manufacturing location, 68 employees, will be permanently laid-off due to the closure of this plant. During the first quarter of 2009, the Hamilton Plant ceased production and was closed which resulted in the permanent lay-off of 20 employees.

Competition

The Metal Bearing Components Segment of our business is intensely competitive. Our primary domestic competitor is Hoover Precision Products, Inc., a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Tsubakimoto Precision Products Co. Ltd. Our primary foreign competitors are Amatsuji Steel Ball Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (Japan), a wholly owed division of NSK, Tsubakimoto Precision Products Co. Ltd (Japan) and Jingsu General Ball and Roller (China).

We believe that competition within the Metal Bearing Components Segment is based principally on quality, price and the ability to consistently meet customer delivery requirements. Management believes that our competitive strengths are our precision manufacturing capabilities, our wide product assortment, our reputation for consistent quality and reliability, and the productivity of our workforce.

The markets for the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment’s products are also intensely competitive. Since the plastic injection molding industry is currently very fragmented, we must compete with numerous companies in each industry market segment. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial resources than we do and many currently offer competing products nationally and internationally. Our primary competitor in the plastic bearing retainer market is Nakanishi Manufacturing Corporation. Domestically, Nypro, Inc. and UFE are among the main competitors in the automotive market.

We believe that competition within the plastic injection molding industry is based principally on quality, price, design capabilities and speed of responsiveness and delivery. Management believes that our competitive strengths are product development, tool design, fabrication, and tight tolerance molding processes. With these strengths, we have built our reputation in the marketplace as a quality producer of technically difficult products.

While intensely competitive, the markets for the Company’s rubber seal products are less fragmented than its plastic injection molding products. The bearing seal market is comprised of approximately six major competitors that range from small privately held companies to large global enterprises. Bearing seal manufacturers compete on design, service, quality and price. Our primary competitors in the U.S. bearing seal market are Freudenburg-NOK, Chicago Rawhide Industries (an SKF subsidiary), Trostel, and Uchiyama.

In the Precision Metal Components Segment market, internal production of components by our customers can impact our business as the customers weigh the risk of outsourcing strategically critical components or producing in-house. Our primary competitors are Linamar, Stanadyne, A. Berger, C&A Tool, American Turned Products and Autocam. We generally win new business on the basis of technical competence and our proven track record of successful product development.

Raw Materials

The primary raw material used in our core ball and roller business of the Metal Bearing Components Segment is 52100 Steel, which is high quality chromium steel. During 2008, approximately 90% of the steel used by the segment was 52100 Steel in rod and wire form. Our other steel requirements include metal strip, chrome rod and wire, and type S2 rock bit steel.

The Metal Bearing Components Segment businesses purchase substantially all of their 52100 Steel requirements from mills in Europe and Japan and all of their metal strip requirements from European mills and traders. The principal suppliers of 52100 Steel in the U.S. are Daido Steel Inc., Kobe Steel, Lucchini (affiliate of Ascometal France) and Ohio Star Forge Co. The principal supplier of 52100 Steel in Europe is Ascometal France (See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), while the principal supplier of metal strip is Thyssen. Our other steel requirements are purchased principally from foreign steel manufacturers. If any of our current suppliers were unable to supply 52100 Steel to us, we are unable to provide assurances that we would not face higher costs or production interruptions as a result of obtaining 52100 Steel from alternate sources.

We purchase steel on the basis of price and, more significantly, composition and quality. The pricing arrangements with our suppliers are typically subject to adjustment every three to six months in the U.S. and contractually adjusted on an annual basis within the European locations for the base steel price and quarterly for surcharge adjustments for precision steel balls. In general, we do not enter into written supply agreements with suppliers or commit to maintain minimum monthly purchases of steel except for the supply arrangements between Ascometal and the European operations of our Metal Bearing Components Segment (see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Because 52100 Steel is principally produced by foreign manufacturers, our operating results would be negatively affected in the event that the U.S. or European governments impose any significant quotas, tariffs or other duties or restrictions on the import of such steel, if the U.S. Dollar decreases in value relative to foreign currencies or if supplies available to us would significantly decrease. The value of the U.S. Dollar factors into the steel price as the suppliers' base currencies are the Euro and Japanese Yen.

The Metal Bearing Components Segment has historically been affected by upward price pressure on steel principally due to general increases in global demand and due to global increased consumption of steel. More recently steel price increases have abated on the basis of reduced scrap prices and overall reduction in global demand for steel products. Our contracts with key customers provide for steel price adjustments as incurred.

For the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment, we base purchase decisions on price, quality and service. Generally, we do not enter into written supply contracts with our suppliers or commit to maintain minimum monthly purchases of resins or rubber compounds.

The primary raw materials used by the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment are engineered resins, injection grade nylon and proprietary rubber compounds. We purchase substantially all of our resin requirements from domestic manufacturers and suppliers. The majority of these suppliers are international companies with resin manufacturing facilities located throughout the world. We use certified vendors to provide a custom mix of proprietary rubber compounds. This segment also procures metal stampings from several domestic suppliers.

The Precision Metal Components Segment produces products from a wide variety of metals in various forms from various sources. Basic types include hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, (both carbon and alloy) stainless, extruded aluminum, aluminum, gray and ductile iron castings, and mechanical tubing. Some material is purchased directly under customer global contracts, some is consigned by the customer, and some is purchased directly from a mill.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We do not own any U.S. or foreign patents, trademarks or licenses that are material to our business. We do rely on certain data and processes, including trade secrets and know-how, and the success of our business depends, to some extent, on such information remaining confidential. Each executive officer is subject to a non-competition and confidentiality agreement that seeks to protect this information.

Seasonal Nature of Business

Historically, due to a substantial portion of sales to European customers, seasonality has been a factor for our business in that some European customers typically reduce their production activities during the month of August.

Environmental Compliance

Our operations and products are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulatory requirements both domestically and abroad relating to pollution control and protection of the environment. We maintain a compliance program to assist in preventing and, if necessary, correcting environmental problems. In the Metal Bearing Components Segment the Eltmann Plant, Kilkenny Plant, and Pinerolo Plant are ISO 14000 certified and received the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration.) The Veenendaal Plant is also ISO 14000 certified. Based on information compiled to date, management believes that our current operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We have assessed conditional asset retirement obligations and have found them to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. We cannot assure you, however, that currently unknown matters, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future. More specifically, although we believe that we dispose of wastes in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we will not incur significant liabilities in the future in connection with the clean-up of waste disposal sites. We maintain long-term environmental insurance covering the four manufacturing locations purchased with the Whirlaway acquisition. We are currently a potentially responsible party of a remedial investigation at a former waste recycling facility used by us. See Item 3. and Note 15. in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Cautionary Statements for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

We wish to caution readers that this report contains, and our future filings, press releases and oral statements made by our authorized representatives may contain, forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of such verbs as expects, anticipates, believes or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements due to important factors bearing on our business, many of which already have been discussed in this filing and in our prior filings. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited to, the risk factors described below.

You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties, and all other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 10-K, before making an investment in our common stock. Any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The Recession impacting both U.S. and Europe Automotive and Industrial Markets could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our operations and implement our growth strategy

During the three month period ended December 31, 2008, we experienced a sudden and significant reduction in customer orders driven by reductions in automotive and industrial end market demand. At the same time, our Plastic and Rubber Components and our Precision Metal Components Segments have continued to be negatively impacted by reductions in North American automotive demand that began in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 and worsened during the second half of 2008.

Our company has never been affected by a recession that has impacted both of our key geographic markets of the U.S. and Europe simultaneously. Continued sudden and significant reductions in sales to our customers could materially reduce our operating results due to the profits lost on reduced sales levels plus the inability in the short term to reduce our variable and fixed cost of operations. A continued recession could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from operations.

In addition, our ability to sustain our existing committed credit facilities and our ability to obtain new credit to finance our operations and growth plans could be impaired depending on our performance against established financial covenants including our results of operations.

World wide availability of credit continues to be limited

The availability of credit from financial institutions to businesses has diminished during the course of 2008. The reduction in available credit is due to many factors including the global economic slowdown and financial institutions being impacted by subprime mortgage defaults and various other types of credit defaults. In addition to the limits on availability, the interest rates charged by financial institutions have increased to reflect the greater level of inherent risk in the debt markets. If the limitation on the availability of credit continues, or worsens our ability and the ability of our customers and vendors to obtain credit in the future may be adversly impacted resulting in a potential adverse impact on our business and that of our customers and vendors.

The demand for our products is cyclical, which could adversely impact our revenues.

The end markets for fully assembled bearings and other industrial and automotive components are cyclical and tend to decline in response to overall declines in industrial and automotive production. As a result, the market for bearing components and precision metal, plastic, and rubber products is also cyclical and impacted by overall levels of industrial and automotive production. Our sales in the past have been negatively affected, and in the future will be negatively affected, by adverse conditions in the industrial and/or automotive production sectors of the economy or by adverse global or national economic conditions generally.

We depend on a very limited number of foreign sources for our primary raw material and are subject to risks of shortages and price fluctuation.

The steel that we use to manufacture our metal bearing components is of an extremely high quality and is available from a limited number of producers on a global basis. Due to quality constraints in the U.S. steel industry, we obtain substantially all of the steel used in our U.S. operations from overseas suppliers. In addition, we obtain most of the steel used in our European operations from a single European source. If we had to obtain steel from sources other than our current suppliers we could face higher prices and transportation costs, increased duties or taxes, and shortages of steel. Problems in obtaining steel, and particularly 52100 chrome steel, in the quantities that we require and on commercially reasonable terms, could increase our costs, adversely impacting our ability to operate our business efficiently and have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating and financial results.

Increases in the market demand for steel can have the impact of increasing scrap surcharges we pay in procuring our steel in the form of higher unit prices and could adversely impact the availability of steel. Our contracts with key customers allow us to pass along steel price increases as incurred.

We depend heavily on a relatively limited number of customers, and the loss of any major customer would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Sales to various U.S. and foreign divisions of SKF, which is one of the largest bearing manufacturers in the world, accounted for approximately 41% of consolidated net sales in 2008. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales. During 2008, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated net sales. The loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to these customers would cause us to lose a substantial portion of our revenue and would lower our operating profit margin and cash flows from operations.

We operate in and sell products to customers outside the U.S. and are subject to several related risks.

Because we obtain a majority of our raw materials from overseas suppliers, actively participate in overseas manufacturing operations and sell to a large number of international customers, we face risks associated with the following:

·	adverse foreign currency fluctuations;

·	changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, and other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations;

·	the imposition of trade restrictions or prohibitions;

·	high tax rates that discourage the repatriation of funds to the U.S.;

·	the imposition of import or other duties or taxes; and

·	unstable governments or legal systems in countries in which our suppliers, manufacturing operations, and customers are located.

We do not have a hedging program in place associated with consolidating the operating results of our foreign businesses into U.S. Dollars. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar and/or the Euro relative to other currencies may adversely affect our ability to compete with our foreign-based competitors for international, as well as domestic, sales. Also, a decline in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar will negatively impact our consolidated financial results, which are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

In addition, due to the typical slower summer manufacturing season in Europe, we expect that revenues in the third fiscal quarter of each year will reflect lower sales than in the other quarters of the year.

Failure of our product could result in a product recall

The majority of our products go into bearings used in the automotive industry and other critical industrial manufacturing applications. A failure of our components could lead to a product recall. If a recall were to happen as a result of our components failing, we could bear a substantial part of the cost of correction. In addition to the cost of fixing the parts affected by the component, a recall could result in the loss of a portion of or all of customers’ business. To partially mitigate this risk, we carry limited product recall insurance and have invested heavily in the TS16949 quality program.

The costs and difficulties of integrating acquired business could impede our future growth.

We cannot assure you that any future acquisition will enhance our financial performance. Acquiring companies involves inherent risk in the areas of environmental and legal issues, information technology, cultural and regulatory matters, product/supplier issues, and financial risk. Our ability to effectively integrate any future acquisitions will depend on, among other things, the adequacy of our implementation plans, the ability of our management to oversee and operate effectively the combined operations and our ability to achieve desired operating efficiencies and sales goals. The integration of any acquired businesses might cause us to incur unforeseen costs, which would lower our profit margin and future earnings and would prevent us from realizing the expected benefits of these acquisitions.

We may not be able to continue to make the acquisitions necessary for us to realize our future growth strategy.

Acquiring businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. This strategy calls for growth through acquisitions constituting the majority of our future growth objectives, with the remainder resulting from internal growth and increased market penetration. For recent acquisitions see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in identifying attractive acquisition candidates or completing acquisitions on favorable terms in the future. In addition, we may borrow funds to acquire other businesses, increasing our interest expense and debt levels. Our inability to acquire businesses, or to operate them profitably once acquired, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our amended and restated credit facility entered into on March 13, 2009, prohibits acquisitions without prior approval of the participants of the credit facility and until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenant levels.

Our growth strategy depends in part on outsourcing, and if the industry trend toward outsourcing does not continue, our business could be adversely affected.

Our growth strategy depends in part on major customers continuing to outsource components, and expanding the number of components being outsourced. This requires manufacturers to depart significantly from their traditional methods of operations. If major customers do not continue to expand outsourcing efforts or determine to reduce their use of outsourcing, our ability to grow our business could be materially adversely affected.

Our market is highly competitive and many of our competitors have significant advantages that could adversely affect our business.

The global markets for bearing components, precision metal and precision plastic parts are highly competitive, with a majority of production represented by the captive production operations of certain large bearing manufacturers and the balance represented by independent manufacturers. Captive manufacturers make components for internal use and for sale to third parties. All of the captive manufacturers, and many independent manufacturers, are significantly larger and have greater resources than do we. Our competitors are continuously exploring and implementing improvements in technology and manufacturing processes in order to improve product quality, and our ability to remain competitive will depend, among other things, on whether we are able to keep pace with such quality improvements in a cost effective manner.

The production capacity we have added over the last several years has at times resulted in our having more capacity than we need, causing our operating costs to be higher than expected.

We have expanded our metal bearing components production facilities and capacity over the last several years. Our metal bearing component production facilities have not always operated at full capacity, and from time to time our results of operations have been adversely affected by the under-utilization of our production facilities. Under-utilization or inefficient utilization of our production facilities could be a risk in the future. We have recently undertaken steps to address a portion of the capacity risk. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations and may decline. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

·	economic recession or other macro economic factors;

·	our operating and financial performance and prospects;

·	quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as earnings (loss) per share, net income (loss) and revenues;

·	changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;

·	loss of any member of our senior management team;

·	speculation in the press or investment community;

·	strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

·	sales of our common stock by stockholders;

·	general market conditions;

·	domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance;

·	loss of a major customer; and

·	ability to declare and pay a regular dividend.

The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, due to the market capitalization of our stock, our stock tends to be more volatile than large capitalization stocks that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average or Standard and Poor’s 500 Index.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate law, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control or changes in our management that a stockholder might consider favorable and may prevent you from receiving a takeover premium for your shares. These provisions include, for example, a classified board of directors and the authorization of our board of directors to issue up to 5.0 million preferred shares without a stockholder vote. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may not call a special meeting.

We are a Delaware corporation subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Generally, this statute prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. We anticipate that the provisions of Section 203 may encourage parties interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors, because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approve either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

These provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders. If a change of control or change in management is delayed or prevented, the market price of our common stock could decline.

In addition, during 2008 we adopted a shareholder’s rights plan intended to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and prevent an acquirer from gaining control of the company at less than fair value. The plan gives existing shareholders the right to purchase Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the company once and only if the acquirer obtains 15% of our common stock.

Legal Proceedings

On March 20, 2006, the Company received correspondence from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting information regarding Alternate Energy Resources, Inc. (“AER”), a former waste recycling vendor used by the Company’s former Walterboro, South Carolina facility. AER, located in Augusta, Georgia, ceased operations in 2000 and EPA began investigating its facility. As a result of AER’s operations, soil and groundwater became contaminated. Besides the Company, EPA initially contacted fifty-four other companies (“Potentially Responsible Parties” or PRPs”) who also sent waste to AER. Most of these PRPs, including the Company, have entered into a consent order with EPA to investigate and remediate the site proactively. To date, each participating PRP has signed a joint defense agreement and has contributed to retaining an environmental consultant who has prepared a remedial investigation, which has been accepted by EPA. In addition, a Feasibility Study, which outlines remedial options, has been submitted to EPA for approval. Once approved, costs associated with the chosen remediation will be known and the PRPs will be able to discuss proper allocation of the cost of cleanup, based on formula including both volume and the nature of the waste sent to AER for disposal. As of the date hereof, the Company does not know the amount of its allocated share. However, we believe our contribution to the remediation of the site, if any, would be approximately 1.083% or less of the volume of waste sent to the facility and we assert that our waste was non-hazardous.

Since our formation in 1980, we have grown primarily through the acquisition of in-house component manufacturing operations of domestic and international bearing manufacturers resulting in increased sales of high precision balls and rollers for bearing applications. Management believes that our core business sales growth since our formation has been due to our ability to capitalize on opportunities in global markets and provide precision products at competitive prices, as well as our emphasis on product quality and customer service.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgment underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition, inventory valuation, asset impairment recognition, business combination accounting and pension and post-retirement benefits. Due to the estimation processes involved, management considers the following summarized accounting policies and their application to be critical to understanding our business operations, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that actual results will not significantly differ from the estimates used in these critical accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues based on the stated shipping terms with the customer when these terms are satisfied and the risks of ownership are transferred to the customer. The Company has an inventory management program for certain major Metal Bearing Components Segment customers whereby revenue is recognized when products are used by the customer from consigned stock, rather than at the time of shipment. Under both circumstances, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sellers’ price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are recorded upon recognition of a sale of goods and ownership and risk of loss is assumed by the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is due primarily from the core served markets: bearing manufacturers, automotive industry, electronics, industrial, agricultural and aerospace. The Company recorded $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million of bad debt expense during 2008, 2007 and 2006. In establishing allowances for doubtful accounts, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers, considering numerous inputs when available including the customers’ financial position, past payment history, relevant industry trends, cash flows, management capability, historical loss experience and economic conditions and prospects. Accounts receivable are written off or reserves established when considered to be uncollectible or at risk of being uncollectible. While management believes that adequate allowances for doubtful accounts have been provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements, it is possible that the Company could experience additional unexpected credit losses.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company’s inventories are not generally subject to obsolescence due to spoilage or expiring product life cycles. The Company assesses inventory obsolescence routinely and records a reserve when inventory items are deemed non recoverable in future periods. The Company operates generally as a make-to-order business; however, the Company also stocks products for certain customers in order to meet delivery schedules. While management believes that adequate write-downs for inventory obsolescence have been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company could experience additional inventory write-downs in the future.

Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles. For new acquisitions, the Company uses estimates, assumptions and appraisals to allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and to determine the amount of goodwill. These estimates are based on market analyses and comparisons to similar assets. Annual tests are required to be performed to assess whether recorded goodwill is impaired. The annual tests require management to make estimates and assumptions with regard to the future operations of its reporting units, and the expected cash flows that they will generate. These estimates and assumptions therefore impact the recorded value of assets acquired in a business combination, including goodwill, and whether or not there is any subsequent impairment of the recorded goodwill and the amount of such impairment.

Income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has three units (the Eltmann Plant, Kysucke Plant and Kunshan Plant) that have incurred or are incurring net operating losses. Management has placed full valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets from these net operating losses. (See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and certain intangible assets subject to amortization. The recoverability of the long-term assets is dependent on the performance of the companies which the Company has acquired, as well as volatility inherent in the external markets for these acquisitions. In assessing potential impairment for these assets the Company will consider these factors as well as forecasted financial performance. Future adverse changes in market conditions or adverse operating results of the underlying assets could result in the Company having to record additional impairment charges not previously recognized. (See Notes 6 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Pension Obligations. The Company uses several assumptions in determining its periodic pension and post-retirement expense and obligations which are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These assumptions include determining an appropriate discount rate, rate of benefit increase as well as the remaining service period of active employees.

Sales Concentration

Sales to various U.S. and foreign divisions of SKF, which is one of the largest bearing manufacturers in the world, accounted for approximately 41% of consolidated net sales in 2008. During 2008, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated net sales. None of our other customers individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales for 2008. The loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to these customers would cause us to lose a substantial portion of our revenue and have a corresponding negative impact on our operating profit margin due to operation leverage these customers provide. This could lead to sales volumes not being high enough to cover our current cost structure or provide adequate operating cash flows. Due to a limit on the amount of excess bearing component production capacity, in the markets we serve, we believe it would be difficult for any of our top ten customers to change suppliers in the short term.

The two-year supply agreement effective July 1, 2006 with Schaeffler Group expired June 30, 2008 and we are currently supplying product at agreed upon commercial terms.

In May 2007, a new contract for precision steel balls in Europe was signed with SKF with terms being retroactive to January 1, 2007 and effective until December 31, 2009.

The five year supply agreement with SKF providing for the purchase of steel rollers and metal retainers expired during 2008 and we are in the process of negotiating a new agreement.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007.

Overview of the Three and Twelve Month Periods Ended December 31, 2008

The three month period ended December 31, 2008 was affected by the sudden and significant reduction in demand for our products in all geographic markets served. During the fourth quarter of 2008, overall demand was down approximately 30% from 2007 sales levels in the two main geographic markets served, the U.S. and Europe. Demand was down in both automotive and industrial end markets served by us due to the global economic downturn. As a result, our sales were down 29% compared to the same three month period of 2007.

In order to minimize the impact of this unprecedented sales volume reduction, we have taken actions to reduce cost and conserve cash. The actions include the reduction of capital expenditures, elimination of discretionary spending, temporary suspension of our regular quarterly dividend, closure of two production facilities, wage and salary reductions and employee layoffs.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2008, sales decreased $30.8 million from the equivalent period of 2007. Of this reduction, $30.1 million was directly related to lower sales volume from the depressed automotive and industrial end market demand experienced in the period.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2008, we had a loss from operations, excluding non-operating charges and benefits, of $2.6 million versus net income of $4.0 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The majority of the variance between the years was directly related to lower sales volume from the economic downturn.

Prior to the three month period ended December 31, 2008, we had reported record revenues and earnings for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. Thus, the results of the year ended December 31, 2008 were significantly impacted by the aforementioned 30% reductions in sales volume directly related to the economic downturn and depressed demand for automotive and industrial products experienced during the three month period ended December 31, 2008.

Net Sales. As discussed above, the significant sales volume decrease experienced in the three month period ended December 31, 2008 had a major impact on the full year 2008 sales levels. There was $30.1 million in volume lost in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the economic downturn and related reduction in demand for automotive and industrial end market products. Prior to the fourth quarter, sales volume had increased by $7.5 million year to date primarily in our Metal Bearings Components Segment from market share gains and strong levels of industrial end market demand in North America and in Europe to a lesser extent.

Partially offsetting the negative volume was the positive effect due to the appreciation in value of Euro denominated sales relative to the U.S. Dollar. Finally, sales were positively affected by price increases from passing through raw material inflation to customers, price increases given to certain non-contractual customers and favorable product mix to existing customers.

Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). As discussed above, the significant sales volume reduction experienced in the three month period ended December 31, 2008 had a major impact on cost of products sold. The magnitude of the reductions and short period in which the reductions occurred limited our ability to reduce fixed production costs. We took aggressive actions to reduce cost including drastically reducing plant operating days. The reduction in cost of products sold during the period directly related to the economic downturn was $14.6 million. Prior to the fourth quarter, cost of product sold had increased by $7.3 million due to higher sales volume mentioned above.

Apart from the volume impacts, cost of products sold increased due to the increase in value of Euro denominated costs relative to the U.S. Dollar. In addition, raw material, labor and utility inflation experienced during 2008 increased cost of products sold. Offsetting these increases were favorable impacts from our Level 3 cost reduction program and other planned projects focused on reducing manufacturing costs at all locations and from operating improvements at our three newest operations: Whirlaway, China, and Slovakia.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Spending on wage related costs was substantially reduced in the three month period ended December 31, 2008. Cost for management bonuses and stock based compensation were reduced due to the fourth quarter 2008 operating performance. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2008, most discretionary spending was eliminated. The increase in the value of Euro denominated costs relative to the U.S. Dollar partially offset the reductions.

Depreciation and Amortization. We accelerated depreciation during the three month period ended December 31, 2008, on certain assets to adjust to their new estimated useful lives. The accelerated depreciation totaled $3.5 million and was related to assets that were abandoned and ceased to be used on or before December 31, 2008. Additionally, depreciation expense was higher due to the increase in the value of the Euro based depreciation and amortization relative to the U.S. Dollar. Finally, depreciation expense increased for assets placed in service at our new plants in China and Slovakia.

Restructuring and impairment charges. During 2008, goodwill, certain intangible assets, and certain long lived tangible assets were subject to impairment charges of $38.4 million. In addition, restructuring charges of $2.2 million and impairment charges of $1.4 million on long lived assets were recorded related to the closure of the Kilkenny plant. During 2007, we impaired certain goodwill and fixed asset balances related to the Metal Bearing Components Segment restructuring totaling $13.4 million.

Interest expense. Interest expense was lower in 2008 versus 2007 primarily due to decreases in the base LIBOR interest rate which reduced the cost of borrowing under our variable rate credit agreement and due to repayments made in 2008.

Gain on disposal of assets. During 2008, the Veenendaal Plant (part of the Metal Bearing Components Segment) sold excess land with a book value of $1.6 million for proceeds of $5.6 million and a resulting gain of $4.0 million.

Provision for income taxes. The year ended December 31, 2008 effective rate of 33% was lower than the year ended December 31, 2007 effective rate of 122%. The majority of the difference between the 2008 and 2007 rates was with the 2008 impairment losses. We did not apply valuation reserves to the deferred tax benefits as those benefits will be recognized either through realized deferred tax liabilities or from expected future tax deductions. The locations that generated the deferred tax benefits in the year ended December 31, 2008, are expected to have sufficient future taxable income so it is more likely than not these benefits will be utilized. The 2007 impairment charges had minimal tax benefits due to valuation reserves placed on the deferred tax benefits related to the impairment and severance charges and other related tax benefits as the locations incurring these benefits were not expected to generate significant future taxable income.

The fourth quarter economic downturn led to a reduction in sales of $21.5 million. Prior to the fourth quarter, sales had increased in the Metal Bearing Components Segment $13.8 million due to higher sales volume in North America, Europe and Asia from new programs, market share gains, and strong European and North American industrial end market demand compared to 2007. Sales were positively affected by the favorable impacts from the rise in value of Euro based sales relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily in the first nine months of the year. Finally, sales increased due to price increases related to passing through raw material inflation to customers, from price increases given to certain non-contractual customers and favorable product and customer mix.

The 2008 and 2007 segment net incomes include restructuring and impairment charges, net of tax of $3.7 million and $13.5 million, respectively. Additionally, 2008 segment net income was impacted by a favorable net $1.6 million in non-operating items. The first was a $3.0 million after tax gain on sale of excess land. The second was a $1.1 million tax benefit related to reducing certain deferred tax liabilities at our Italian operation under a new Italian tax law. Partially offsetting these favorable impacts was the accelerated depreciation of certain long-lived tangible assets that were abandoned in the fourth quarter of 2008 totaling $2.5 million after tax.

Factoring out the non-operating benefits and restructuring charges above, 2008 segment net income was $1.7 million lower than the prior year. The 2008 results were negatively impacted by the fourth quarter economic downturn. As much of the segments’ manufacturing cost base is in Western Europe, we have less ability to proactively reduce labor and labor related costs there than in other geographic areas in which we operate due to country and plant specific labor rules. Partially offsetting the fourth quarter decline were planned cost reduction initiatives at all locations, in particular at our Asia and Slovakia operations, which had a positive impact, net of inflation, to segment income.

The 2008 restructuring and impairment charges for the segment, net of tax are $2.2 million of severance and other employment related cost and non-cash impairment charges of $1.4 million on long lived assets both related to the closure of the segment’s Kilkenny Plant. The 2007 restructuring and impairment charges, net of tax included $13.5 million in non-cash charges related to impairment of goodwill and fixed assets to levels supported by projected cash flows after restructuring activity within the segment.

Volume										(3,149	)

Segment net loss	$	(7,353	)	$	(1,450	)	$	(5,903	)

The reduction in sales volume to customers that serve the U.S. automotive market, particularly light trucks, began for this segment during the second and third quarters of 2008. The sales reduction intensified in the fourth quarter with the more than 30% reduction in automotive build rates in the U.S. As a result, sales volume was $3.9 million less in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to the economic downturn.

The 2008 segment net loss included $7.8 million of impairment charges, net of tax. Factoring out the impairment charges, segment net income was favorable to the prior year by $1.9 million. Despite lower sales volumes, the segment’s net income increeased primarily due to production efficiencies in labor and manufacturing supplies experienced in 2008 through the application of our Level 3 and other cost improvement programs. In addition, interest cost was lower for the segment due to positive cash flow and lower base interest rates.

The 2008 impairment charges, net of tax are from the impairment of all of the segment’s goodwill, the full impairment of the customer relationship intangible asset, and the impairment of certain long lived tangible assets.

Segment net income (loss)	$	(17,223	)	$	2,242	$	(19,465	)

Revenues in the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment were down due to lower sales volume to customers that sell products to U.S. automotive manufacturers. The lower sales were due to a general downturn in that market and due to the effects of a strike at a major U.S. automotive supplier that occurred earlier in the year, which affected several of our customers’ sales volumes. While the lower sales volumes were occurring most of 2008 for the segment, the reduction intensified in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to impact from the global recession. During the fourth quarter, we experienced sales volumes $4.7 million less than the fourth quarter of 2007.

The 2008 segment net loss included $16.6 million of impairment charges, net of tax. Factoring out the impairment charges, the segment incurred a loss of $0.6 million in 2008. The segment net loss was negatively affected by the volume decreases in sales. Planned cost reduction projects, net of inflation, partially offset the volume impacts. The 2008 impairment charges, net of tax are from the impairment of all of the segment’s goodwill.

Net Sales. Sales have increased due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment with the acquisition of Whirlaway and due to appreciation in value of Euro denominated sales relative to the U.S. Dollar. In addition, sales have increased due to the pass through of raw material inflation to customers and due to higher volume to existing customers primarily at our European operations. Partially offsetting these increases are price decreases given to several large customers in agreement with contractual terms and unfavorable customer, product, and currency mix.

Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of products sold increased primarily due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006 and due to the increase in value of Euro denominated costs relative to the U.S. Dollar. In addition, raw material, labor and utility inflation increased and costs increased related to higher sales volume primarily at our European operations. Offsetting these increases were favorable mix impacts to cost of products sold and the impact of projects focused on reducing cost of manufacturing .

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense increase was primarily due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006. In addition, SG&A expense increased due to the appreciation in the value of Euro denominated expenses relative to the U.S. Dollar. Finally, the total was higher due to increased stock compensation expense, from higher spending on consulting and professional fees, higher travel, salary cost and additional bad debt expense.

Depreciation and Amortization. These costs were higher due to the acquisition of the Precision Metal Components Segment and due to the increase in the value of Euro based depreciation and amortization relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Interest expense. Interest expense was primarily higher due to the additional debt assumed to acquire the Precision Metal Components Segment on November 30, 2006.

Gain on disposal of assets. In 2006, we incurred a gain from the sale of excess land at our Pinerolo Plant facility ($1.8 million) partially offset by a loss on disposal of excess equipment at the same facility ($1.1 million).

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. We have begun to take steps to appropriately adjust our cost structure and align our plant capacity in our Metal Bearing Components Segment. This will include restructuring at the European operations of the Metal Bearing Components Segment as we adjust our global precision ball manufacturing capacity to take better advantage of favorable cost structures at our two newest plants the Kysucke Plant and the Kunshan Plant. As a result of this restructuring, certain goodwill and fixed assets in our European operations are now considered impaired. As a result, during the second quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $13.3 million ($12.6 million after-tax) of non-cash impairment costs. These costs include the write-down of certain excess production equipment and the impairment of goodwill to levels supported by projected cash flows after the restructuring.

Provision for income taxes. The 2007 effective tax rate was 122%, versus the effective tax rate in 2006 of 37%. The effective tax rate in 2007 was much higher than normal due to the impact of the impairment charges taken during 2007, which carried significant valuation allowances against the related tax benefits, resulting in the high effective tax rate for 2007. Factoring out the impairment impacts in 2007, our effective tax rate would have been approximately 38%. There were two other significant offsetting items affecting 2007 tax expense. During the fourth quarter, the deferred tax liabilities at our Italian operation of the Metal Bearing Components Segment were lowered due to enacted reductions in the Italian statutory tax rates which decreased tax expense by $1.0 million. Offsetting this reduction was a $0.8 million increase in tax expense related to recording a full valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset for tax loss carry forwards at a location still incurring losses. The 2006 effective rate is lower than the historical effective rate due to the favorable 19% tax rate on the gain from sale of land at our Pinerolo Plant.

Segment net income	$	4,958	$	18,331	$	(13,373	)

The sales increase at the Metal Bearing Components Segment was primarily due to the positive impacts from the rise in value of Euro based sales relative to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, the Metal Bearing Components Segment experienced higher volume with existing European customers for tapered rollers and metal bearing retainers and increases related to the pass through of raw material inflation to customers. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable product and currency mix to existing customers and due to contractual price decreases to certain large customers.

The major negative factors affecting the segment net income in 2007 was the $13.5 million of after tax goodwill and tangible asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of the segment. Factoring out the impairment charges, the segment net income was $18.4 million. Despite higher sales volume net income was impacted by price decreases given to certain customers under contractual terms in 2007 ($2.4 million, net of tax) and unfavorable customer, currency, and product mix ($1.0 million, net of tax). Additionally, there was a gain on the sale of land, net of loss on disposal of machinery, at our Pinerolo Plant in the first quarter of 2006 ($0.8 million, net of tax) and gains on favorable foreign exchange impacts from the appreciation of the Slovakian Koruna during 2006 ($0.7 million, net of tax) that did not repeat in 2007.

Offsetting the negative impacts stated above were cost reduction projects that more than offset utility and labor inflation ($1.4 million, net of tax). Raw material cost inflation was offset by price increases under contractual terms to certain customers, resulting in little impact on segment profit. Additionally, Euro denominated profits were favorably impacted by the appreciation in the value of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar ($1.5 million, net of tax). The effect from higher sales volumes in Europe increased 2007 segment net income ($1.4 million, net of tax). Finally, the favorable impact of reducing deferred tax liabilities of our Italian operation of this segment due to the 5.9% reduction in the Italian statutory tax rates increased segment net income in 2007 ($1.0 million).

(In Thousands of Dollars)	Year Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			Change

Net sales	$	67,384		$	4,722		$	62,662
Due to Acquisitions										62,662

Segment net loss	$	(1,450	)	$	(598	)	$	(852	)

The Precision Metal Components Segment was formed on November 30, 2006 by the purchase of Whirlaway Corporation. Therefore, only one month of operations of the segment was included in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The second and third quarters of 2007 were suppressed due to low demand for customers that serve U.S. heavy truck and HVAC equipment markets. The demand in the heavy truck and HVAC markets was low during this period due to large amounts of purchases made in the fourth quarter of 2006 ahead of required environmental changes to these products on January 1, 2007.

PLASTIC AND RUBBER COMPONENTS SEGMENT

(In Thousands of Dollars)	Year ended December 31,
	2007		2006		Change

Net sales	$	50,851	$	53,304	$	(2,453	)
Volume								(3,653	)
Material inflation pass- through								1,200

Segment net income	$	2,242	$	2,695	$	(453	)

Revenues in the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment were down due to lower sales volume to the automotive market and to certain specialty non-automotive customers. Partially offsetting the volume decreases were benefits from raw material inflation pass through.

Net income was negatively affected by the volume decreases in sales ($1.0 million, after tax). Partially offsetting the volume impacts were cost reduction projects net of inflation ($0.6 million, after tax). The increases in sales from raw material pass through were offset by raw material inflation.

Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008

From December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008, our total assets and current assets decreased $66.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The depreciation in the value of Euro denominated account balances relative to the U.S. Dollar caused total assets and current assets to decrease approximately $5.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from December 31, 2007.

Factoring out the foreign exchange effects, the majority of the decrease in non-current assets was the impairments of $30.0 of goodwill and $5.6 of intangible assets. In addition, fixed assets were impaired $4.2 million due to the Kilkenny Plant closure and SFAS 144 impairments and $3.5 million of fixed assets were abandoned and had accelerated depreciation taken during 2008. Finally, non-current assets decreased as non-accelerated depreciation expense was $5.1 million higher than capital spending and excess land with a net book value of $2.1 million was sold in 2008.

Factoring out the foreign exchange effects, current assets at December 31, 2008 were $10.8 million lower than December 31, 2007. Accounts receivable decreased $14.1 million due to lower sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2008 versus the fourth quarter of 2007 and from a reduction in overdue receivables during 2008 accounting for almost all of the difference in current assets.

From December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008, our total liabilities and current liabilities decreased $45.7 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The depreciation in the value of Euro denominated account balances relative to the U.S. Dollar caused total liabilities and current liabilities to decrease approximately $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from December 31, 2007.

Factoring out the foreign exchange effects, total liabilities decreased $43.5 million from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Accounts payable decreased $10.7 million due to lower levels of purchases in the fourth quarter of 2008 from the large sales and production volume declines and extended plant shut down periods experienced during the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, liabilities were lower due to the reduction in the current maturities of long-term debt of $4.9 million and long-term debt of $10.0 million as cash flow from operations was used to pay down debt. Finally, the deferred tax liabilities decreased $13.5 million primarily due to the goodwill and other long-lived asset impairments recorded in 2008.

Working capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable and inventories offset by accounts payable, was $61.2 million at December 31, 2008 as compared to $53.8 million at December 31, 2007. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased from 1.64:1 at December 31, 2007 to 1.97:1 at December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital was due primarily to a $4.9 million reduction in the balance of the current portion of long-term debt and the $1.6 million reduction in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash flow provided by operations was $27.5 million in 2008 compared with cash flow provided by operations of $21.6 million in 2007. The increase in cash flow provided by operations is primarily due to the reduction in accounts receivable from lower sales volumes and reductions in overdue accounts.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded approximately $39.8 million ($25.8 million after tax) of non-cash impairment costs. These charges included the full impairment of goodwill at our Precision Metal Components Segment and at our Plastic and Rubber Components Segment, full impairment of the customer relationship intangible in our Precision Metal Components Segment, and the impairment of certain long lived tangible assets at our Precisions Metal Components Segment and our Kilkenny Plant.

During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $13.4 million ($12.7 million after-tax) of non-cash impairment charges. These charges included the write-down to estimated fair market value of certain excess production equipment and the full impairment of goodwill at one location to levels supported by projected cash flows after the restructuring.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In consideration of the weak overall economic environment, particularly in the automotive and industrial end markets in which the Company operates, and the resulting significant decline in sales in all operating segments and reduced projected results for future periods, we have implemented certain actions to manage our liquidity position. These actions include: obtaining amendments to our existing credit agreements to align covenant levels with the current and expected weaker operating performance over the next five quarters, suspending our quarterly dividend to shareholders, reducing capital spending, establishing programs to reduce working capital needs, reducing or eliminating discretionary spending where possible, reducing permanent employment levels, reducing working hours for many facilities, downsizing plant operations and accelerating plant closures. In addition, we have temporarily reduced the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer by 20%, and reduced the compensation of other managers and employees where legally and contractually possible by 10% - 20%. We have also delayed payment of bonuses earned in 2008 and eliminated bonus opportunities for 2009.

The company has forecasted reduced levels of revenue and cash flow based on our recent sales levels, current economic conditions, published economic forecasts and input from our major customers. These forecasts were used to set new financial and operating covenants in our amended credit facilities. While there can be no assurances, management believes that the Company will be able to comply with the revised covenants of the amended debt agreements through at least the next five quarters. However, further deterioration of market conditions and sales levels in excess of our forecasts for revenue and cash flow could result in the Company failing to meet these covenants which could cause a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial position.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had in place a $135.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. That credit facility provided us the ability to borrow in U.S. Dollars at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of .60% to .925% or Euros at EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.60% to 0.925%. The facility had a $10.0 million swing line feature to meet short term cash flow needs with an interest rate equal to the prime lending rate. The loan agreement contained customary financial and non-financial covenants specifying we had to maintain certain liquidity measures. The loan agreement also contained customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and merger, acquisition and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause. The credit agreement was collateralized by the pledge of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries. At December 31, 2008, we had $72.6 million of availability under the $135.0 million facility.

During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into an amended and restated $90 million revolving credit facility maturing September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. In addition to the reduction in availability, the interest rate will be LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.0%. The financial and non financial covenants have been amended to relax certain financial covenants and the facility is now secured by assets of the company in addition to pledges of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries. Finally, the new agreement places greater restrictions on our usage of cash flows including prohibiting share repurchases, dividends and investments and/or acquisitions without the approval of credit facility participants and until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenant levels.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we also had in place the $40.0 million senior notes. These notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.89% and mature on April 26, 2014. Interest is paid semi-annually. As of December 31, 2008, $34.3 million remained outstanding. Annual principal payments of approximately $5.7 million began on April 26, 2008 and extend through the date of maturity. The agreement contained customary financial and non-financial covenants. Such covenants specified that we must maintain certain liquidity measures. The agreement also contained customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause. The notes were collateralized by the pledge of stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.

During the first quarter of 2009, the senior note agreement was amended. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. The term, principal balance, and principal payment schedule all remain the same as the original agreement. The interest rate was increased from 4.89% to 8.50%. In addition, the financial and non-financial covenants were amended and additional collateralization and restrictions on usage of cash flows were added to the agreement in line with the amended $90 million revolving credit facility.

We were in compliance with all covenants related to the $135.0 million credit facility and the $40.0 million senior notes as of December 31, 2008. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Veenendaal, The Netherlands facility (part of the Metal Bearing Components Segment) sold excess land for proceeds of $5.6 million and a resulting gain of $4.0 million ($3.0 million, after tax).

To date, cash generated by foreign subsidiaries has been used primarily for general purposes including investments in property, plant and equipment and prepayment of the former Euro term loan. In 2007, a $5.0 million dividend, on earnings for which U.S. Federal tax was previously paid, was declared and paid by a foreign subsidiary. During 2006, a European subsidiary repaid an $8.0 million loan with the parent company. These funds were used to repay part of our domestic credit facilities. Remaining undistributed foreign earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested.

Our arrangements with our domestic customers typically provide that payments are due within 30 days following the date of our shipment of goods, while arrangements with foreign customers of our domestic business (other than foreign customers that have entered into an inventory management program with us) generally provide that payments are due within 90 or 120 days following the date of shipment. Under the Metal Bearing Components Segment’s inventory management program with certain European customers, payments typically are due within 30 days after the customer uses the product. Our arrangement with European customers regarding due dates vary from 30 to 90 days following date of sale with an average of approximately 50 days outstanding. Our sales and receivables can be influenced by seasonality due to our relative percentage of European business coupled with many foreign customers ceasing production during the month of August. For information concerning our quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We invoice and receive payment from many of our customers in Euro as well as other currencies. In 2008, the fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar positively impacted sales and income. As a result of these sales, our foreign exchange transaction and translation risk has increased. Various strategies to manage this risk are available to management including producing and selling in local currencies and hedging programs. As of December 31, 2008, no currency hedges were in place. In addition, a strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and/or Euro against foreign currencies could impair our ability to compete with international competitors for foreign as well as domestic sales.

Sales to various U.S. and foreign divisions of SKF, which is one of the largest bearing manufacturers in the world, accounted for approximately 41% of consolidated net sales in 2008. During 2008, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated net sales. None of our other customers individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales for 2008. The loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to these customers would cause us to lose a substantial portion of our revenue and have a corresponding negative impact on our operating profit margin due to operation leverage these customers provide. This could lead to sales volumes not being high enough to cover our current cost structure or provide adequate operating cash flows. Due to a limit on the amount of excess bearing component capacity, in the markets we serve, we believe it would be difficult for any of our top ten customers to change suppliers in the short term.

During 2008, we spent approximately $18.5 million on capital expenditures. Of this amount, approximately $5.4 million related to geographic expansion of our manufacturing base and approximately $13.1 million related to cost reduction, equipment upgrades, process upgrades, or replacements. During 2009, we plan to spend approximately $3.5 million on capital expenditures. We have limited our 2009 capital spending in order to maximize liquidity during the forecasted 2009 economic downturn. We intend to finance these activities with cash generated from operations and funds available under our credit facilities. We believe that funds generated from operations and borrowings will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs and projected capital expenditure requirements through December 31, 2009.

The table below sets forth our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
Certain Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		After 5 years

(1) Other Long-Term Obligations consists of steel purchase commitments at our European operations (See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We have approximately $1.7 million in unrecognized tax benefits and related penalties and interest accrued within the liabilities section of our balance sheet. We are unsure when or if at all these amounts might be paid to U.S. and/or foreign taxing authorities. Accordingly, these amounts have been excluded from the table above. See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Functional Currencies

We currently have operations in Ireland, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands, all of which are Euro participating countries, and in Slovakia which joined the European Union in May 2004 and adopted the Euro as its currency on January 1, 2009. Each of our European facilities sell product to customers in many of the Euro participating countries. The Euro has been adopted as the functional currency at all locations in Europe, except Slovakia whose functional currency is the Slovak Koruna. The functional currency of NN Asia is the Chinese Yuan.

Seasonality and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results

Our net sales historically have been seasonal in nature, due to a significant portion of our sales being to European customers that cease or significantly slow production during the month of August. For information concerning our quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

The cost base of our operations have been materially affected by steel inflation during recent years, but due to the ability to pass on this steel inflation to our customers the overall financial impact has been minimized. The prices for 52100 Steel, engineered resins and other raw materials which we purchase are subject to material change. Our typical pricing arrangements with steel suppliers are subject to adjustment every six months. We typically reserve the right to increase product prices periodically in the event of increases in our raw material costs. In the past, we have been able to minimize the impact on our operations resulting from the 52100 Steel price fluctuations by taking such measures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. SFAS 157 applies whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, excluding non-financial assets and liabilities except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities was deferred until January 1, 2009. We are still evaluating the effect of adoption of SFAS 157 on our non-financial assets and liabilities. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 that pertain to financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008 and this has had no effect on our income from operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Upon adoption, an entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," applies to all entities with available for sale and trading securities. SFAS 159 was effective for us as of January 1, 2008. We have elected not to apply the provisions of SFAS 159 for our existing financial liabilities. We will continue to report our existing financial liabilities on a cost basis as we believe this is a better representation of our actual financial obligations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R") which replaces SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. However, SFAS No. 141R provides for the following changes from SFAS No. 141: an acquirer will record 100% of assets and liabilities of acquired business, including goodwill, at fair value, regardless of the level of interest acquired; certain contingent assets and liabilities will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date; contingent consideration will be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date with changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings upon settlement; acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred; reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties will be recognized in earnings; and when making adjustments to finalize preliminary accounting, acquirers will revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information in future financial statements to reflect any adjustments as if they occurred on the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 141R will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms, and size of the acquisitions consummated after the effective date.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our business due to our use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting in various foreign currencies. To mitigate our exposure to these market risks, we have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of financial market risks. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. At December 31, 2008, these borrowings included $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes and our $135 million revolving credit facility which was used to maintain liquidity, fund our business operations, and fund acquisitions. At December 31, 2008, we had $34.3 million of fixed rate senior notes outstanding and $62.4 million outstanding under the variable rate revolving credit facilities. At December 31, 2008, a one-percent increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding variable rate borrowings would result in interest expense increasing annually by approximately $0.6 million. The nature and amount of our borrowings may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors.

Translation of our operating cash flows denominated in foreign currencies is impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. Our Metal Bearing Component Segment invoices and receives payment in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar including the Euro. In 2008, the fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar positively impacted assets, revenue and income. To help reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuation, management has incurred debt in Euros in the past and has, from time to time, used foreign currency hedges to hedge currency exposures when these exposures meet certain discretionary levels. We did not use any significant currency hedges in 2008, nor did we hold a position in any foreign currency hedging instruments as of December 31, 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of NN, Inc

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectivenss of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for defined benefit plans effective December 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2007.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

(a)

Description of Business

NN, Inc. (the “Company”) is a manufacturer of precision balls, cylindrical and tapered rollers, bearing retainers, plastic injection molded products, precision bearing seals and precision metal components. The Company’s balls, rollers, retainers, and bearing seals are used primarily in the domestic and international anti-friction bearing industry. The Company’s plastic injection molded products are used in the bearing, automotive, instrumentation and fiber optic industries. The precision metal components products are used in automotive, diesel engine, refrigeration, and heating and cooling industries.

In consideration of the weak overall economic environment, particularly in the automotive and industrial end markets in which the Company operates, and the resulting significant decline in sales in all operating segments and reduced projected results for future periods, we have implemented certain actions to manage our liquidity position. These actions include: obtaining amendments to our existing credit agreement to align covenant levels with the current and expected weaker operating performance over the next five quarters, suspending our quarterly dividend to shareholders, reducing capital spending, establishing programs to reduce working capital needs, reducing or eliminating discretionary spending where possible, reducing permanent employment levels, reducing working hours for many facilities, downsizing plant operations and accelerating plant closures. In addition, we have temporarily reduced the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer by 20% and reduced the compensation of other managers and employees where legally and contractually possible by 10% - 20%. We have also delayed payment of bonuses earned in 2008 and eliminated bonus opportunities for 2009.

(b)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

(c)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Our policy is to expense abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost, and waste. In addition, we allocate fixed production overheads based on the normal capacity of our facilities.

Inventories also include tools, molds and dies in progress that the Company is producing and will ultimately sell to its customers. This activity is principally related to our Plastic and Rubber Components and Precision Metal Components Segments. These inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market.

(d)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets held for sale are stated at lower of depreciated cost or fair market value less estimated selling costs. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When a property item is retired, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the property accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statement of income. The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded impairment charges of $4,197, $3,320 and $0, respectively (See Notes 3 and 6 for further details). Property, plant and equipment includes tools, molds and dies principally used in our Plastic and Rubber Components and Precision Metal Components Segments that are the property of the Company.

Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets for financial reporting purposes. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for income tax purposes. In the event we abandon and cease to use certain property, plant, and equipment, depreciation estimates are revised and, in most cases, depreciation expense will be accelerated to reflect the shorten useful live of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $3,509 in accelerated depreciation for property, plant and equipment that was abandoned and ceased to be used. (See Note 6)

(e) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues based on the stated shipping terms with the customer when these terms are satisfied and the risks of ownership are transferred to the customer. The Company has an inventory management program for certain Metal Bearing Components Segment customers whereby revenue is recognized when products are used by the customer from consigned stock, rather than at the time of shipment. Under both circumstances, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sellers’ price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

(f)	Accounts Receivable.

Accounts receivable are recorded upon recognition of a sale of goods and ownership and risk of loss is assumed by the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is due primarily from the core served markets: bearing manufacturers, automotive industry, electronics, industrial, agricultural and aerospace. The Company experienced $0.2 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million of bad debt expense during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In establishing allowances for doubtful accounts, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers, considering numerous inputs when available including the customers’ financial position, past payment history, relevant industry trends, cash flows, management capability, historical loss experience and economic conditions and prospects. Accounts receivable are written off or reserves established when considered to be uncollectible or at risk of being uncollectible.

(g)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(h)

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share reflect reported earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock, and the respective tax benefits.

(i)

Stock Incentive Plan

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) under the modified prospective method. From that date onward, the Company is accounting for new awards and awards modified under this new standard. Any options issued henceforth will be expensed based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. As of December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any unvested stock options due to an accelerated vesting program implemented in December 2005. As such, this statement only impacted the Company for its outstanding restricted stock and stock option and restricted stock awards issued subsequent to January 1, 2006. The cost of the options and restricted stock awards will be expensed as compensation expense over the vesting periods based on the fair value at the grant date. (See Note 9)

The Company accounts for restricted stock awards by recognizing compensation expense ratably over the vesting period as specified in the award. Compensation expense to be recognized is based on the stock price at date of grant.

(j)

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries are 100% owned and all are included in the consolidated financial statements for the years end December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006. All significant inter-company profits, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(k)

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, while revenue, costs and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. In addition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the current exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The balances are adjusted to the current exchange rate as of each balance sheet date and as of the date when the transaction is consummated. Any transaction gains or losses are expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Net Income (Loss) as incurred.

(l)	Goodwill and Other Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

The Company recognizes the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The impairment tests are performed at the reporting unit level for those units that have goodwill. SFAS 142 prescribes a two-step process for testing for goodwill impairments. The first step is to determine if the carrying value of the reporting unit with goodwill is less than the related fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined through use of discounted cash flow methods and/or market based multiples of earning and sales methods. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than fair value of the reporting unit the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is greater than fair value then the potential for impairment of goodwill exists. The potential impairment is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit among the assets and liabilities based on a purchase price allocation methodology as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the goodwill is implied from this allocation and compared to the carrying value with an impairment loss recognized if the carrying value is greater than the implied fair value.

We base our fair value estimates on management business plans and projected financial information which are subject to a high degree of management judgment and complexity. Actual results may differ from these projections and the differences may be material.

Our indefinite lived intangible asset is accounted for similarly to goodwill. These assets are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value to the carrying value and if the fair value is less than carrying value, an impairment is recognized for the difference.

(m)	Long Lived Intangible Assets

The Company recognizes an acquired intangible asset apart from goodwill whenever the asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever it is capable of being divided or separated from the acquired entity or sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, whether individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. An intangible asset other than goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life unless that life is determined to be indefinite. The Company reviews the lives of intangible assets each reporting period, and if necessary, recognizes impairment losses if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. (See Notes 3 and 11.)

(n) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Long-lived tangible and intangible assets are tested for recoverability when changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. A test for recoverability is also performed when managment has committed to a plan to dispose of a reporting unit or asset group. Assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability when indications of impairment are evident. Recoverability of a long-lived tangible and intangible asset is evaluated by comparing its carrying value to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the asset is not recoverable, the asset is considered impaired and adjusted to fair value which is then depreciated/amortized over its remaining useful life. Assets held for sale are carried at the lesser of carrying value or fair value less costs of disposal. (See Notes 3, 6 and 11)

(o) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(p) Reclassifications

Certain 2007 and 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 2008 presentation.

(q)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. SFAS 157 applies whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, excluding non-financial assets and liabilities except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 for non financial assets and liabilities was deferred until January 1, 2009. We are still evaluating the effect of adoption of SFAS 157 on our non-financial assets and liabilities. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 that pertain to financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008 and this has had no effect on our income from operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Upon adoption, an entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," applies to all entities with available for sale and trading securities. SFAS 159 was effective for us as of January 1, 2008. We have elected not to apply the provisions of SFAS 159 for our existing financial liabilities. We will continue to report our existing financial liabilities on a cost basis as we believe this is a better representation of our actual financial obligations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"), which establishes principles and requirements for the acquirer in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in the business combination and for disclosure to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). While SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination, it also improves the comparability of the information about business combinations provided in financial reports. In addition, SFAS No. 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

2)	Acquisitions

Whirlaway Acquisition

On November 30, 2006, we purchased 100% of the common shares of Whirlaway from its sole shareholder for $24,337 in cash and a note payable, paid in 2007, to the former owner for $18,638. In addition, we incurred fees of $825 from third parties as part of the purchase. The results of Whirlaway’s operations have been consolidated with NN, Inc. since the date of acquisition.

The following table summarized the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at date of acquisition.

At November 30, 2006
Current assets	$	19,276
Property, plant, and equipment		25,837
Other assets		128
Intangible assets subject to amortization		7,180
Intangible assets not subject to amortization		900
Goodwill		4,274
Total assets acquired		57,595
Current liabilities		7,246
Other long-term liabilities		4,270
Long term debt		2,279
Total liabilities assumed		13,795
Net assets acquired	$	43,800

The intangible assets not subject to amortization are trade names that have indefinite lives. The intangible assets subject to amortization are customer relationship intangible asset of $6,900, a covenant not to compete of $150, and a lease interest favorable to market of $130. The intangible assets subject to amortization have a weighted average life of approximately 10 years. Based on the Company’s analysis, all of the goodwill and intangible assets will be deductible and amortized over 15 years for federal tax.

The following unaudited pro-forma financial information shows the revenue, net income, and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 as though the acquisition of Whirlaway occurred at the beginning of that fiscal year. This pro-forma information has been adjusted for the effects of purchase accounting on the assets and liabilities acquired. These adjustments include amortization and depreciation based on allocated values of assets acquired, interest expense based on new debt incurred in acquisition, and recognizing the tax impacts of each adjustment.

	December 31, 2006
Revenues	$	403,316
Net income	$	15,848
Earnings per share basic	$	0.93
Earnings per share fully diluted	$	0.91

3)	Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded $30,029 ($19,258 after tax) of non-cash impairment charges related to the impairment of goodwill. Goodwill was impaired at our Precision Metal Components reporting unit and at both reporting units of our Plastic and Rubber Components Segment. These impairments were calculated using an equal weighting of present value of expected future cash flows methods and market based multiples of sales and earnings methods pursuant to SFAS 142 for the goodwill (see Note 10). In addition, we recorded approximately $5,592 ($3,448 after tax) of non-cash impairment charges related to the full impairment of the customer relationship intangible at our Precision Metal Components reporting unit. This impairment was calculated using estimates of fair value pursuant to SFAS 144 for intangible assets (see Note 11). Finally, we recorded $2,750 ($1,696 after tax) of non-cash impairment charges related to the full impairment of property, plant and equipment at our Precision Metal Components reporting unit. This impairment was calculated using estimates of fair value pursuant of SFAS 144 for tangible assets (see Note 6).

These impairments were triggered by the significant financial impact the global economic downturn had on these segments during the three month period ended December 31, 2008 and expected impact in future periods.

Metal Bearing Components Segment Restructuring, Impairment and Other Cost Reduction Actions

During 2007, we announced several actions intended to improve corporate financial performance that resulted in the recognition of certain restructuring, impairment and other non-recurring charges. In July 2007, management made a decision that reducing output at four of the six Metal Bearing Components Segment locations that manufacture precision steel balls would be the best financial and logistical solution to align capacity. As we have increased capacity at our two newest precision steel ball plants in China and Slovakia, the need to align our capacity across our worldwide system of six precision steel ball plants had grown. While the decision to realign production among four of the six was successful, during 2008 it was determined the best course of action was to close one of the four precision steel ball plants in Europe.

As such, on November 26, 2008, we announced the closure of our precision steel ball manufacturing facility located in Kilkenny, Ireland. The closure was part of our long term strategy to rationalize our European operations. We view the rationalization of manufacturing operations in Europe as a necessary action to adjust our global manufacturing capacity to current and long term market requirements.

The closure affected 68 employees and is expected to be completed in 2009. We recorded restructuring charges of $2,247 related to severance and other employment cost for the 68 employees. These severance cost were recorded in accordance to SFAS 146 and were reported in the Restructuring and Impairment Charges (Income), Excluding Goodwill Impairments line as a component of income from operations. The following summarizes the 2008 restructuring charges related to this closure:

	Reserve Balance at 1/01/08		Charges		Paid in 2008			Currency Impacts		Reserve Balance at 12/31/08
Severance and other employee costs	$	--	$	2,247	$	(281	)	$	92	$	2,058
Total	$	--	$	2,247	$	(281	)	$	92	$	2,058

As a result of the decision to close the Kilkenny facility, we performed a test of recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with that facility. This test was pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 144 which require that interim tests of asset recoverability be performed under certain circumstances. As a result of the test, we concluded $1,447 of production equipment was impaired and adjusted these assets to the estimated fair market value. The impairment charge was reported in the Restructuring and Impairment Charges (Income), Excluding Goodwill Impairments line as a component of income from operations.

During the second quarter of 2007, we knew the reduction of output at four of our six ball precision steel ball plants would lead to a reduction in cash flow in certain plants. As such, we performed tests of the recoverability of the goodwill and long-lived assets associated with the affected facilities. As a result, we recorded approximately $13,336 ($12,624 after-tax) of non-cash impairment costs. These charges include the write-down to estimated fair market value of certain excess production equipment of $3,320 ($3,212 after tax) and the full impairment of goodwill at one European reporting unit of $10,016 ($9,412 after tax) to levels supported by projected cash flows after the realignment of production. These impairments were calculated using present value of expected future cash flows methods pursuant to SFAS 142 for the goodwill and estimates of fair value pursuant to SFAS 144 for the fixed assets.

During the third quarter of 2007, we recorded approximately $1,272 ($1,196 after tax) of cash restructuring charges and approximately $90 ($66 after tax) of non-cash impairment charges related to the write-down to estimated fair value of certain excess production equipment as part of the Metal Bearings Components Segment restructuring. The majority of the severance was for one time termination benefits of 19 production employees at our Eltmann Plant. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Eltmann workers counsel approached management with an unsolicited offer to increase working hours and lower wages if management would reconsider the involuntary termination order. Although management considered its notice final and irrevocable, the workers’ offer was compelling, and management agreed to consider it. On February 13, 2008, we signed a new agreement with the German workers and rescinded the layoff order. Therefore, $1,062 ($1,062 after tax) of the severance charge related to the 19 production employees no longer met the requirements of SFAS 146 for a restructuring accrual and was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2007.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the asset groups of six of our reporting units were tested for impairment pursuant to SFAS 144. The reporting units in which there was an impairment are discussed below.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, fixed assets at the Kilkenny Plant of the Metal Bearing Components Segment were impaired, pursuant to SFAS 144, as of the result of the closure of this facility (see Note 3.) The total reduction in fixed assets from the impairment charge was $1,447 and was reported in the Restructuring and Impairment Charges (Income), Excluding Goodwill Impairments on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2008, fixed assets at the Precision Metal Components Segment were impaired. The impairment was determined pursuant to SFAS 144. The key component of the impairment was the impact the global economic downturn has had and is expected to have on the segment. The total reduction in fixed assets from the impairment charge was $2,750 and was reported in the Restructuring and Impairment Charges (Income), Excluding Goodwill Impairments on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of the closure of the Kilkenny facility and the fourth quarter global economic downturn, we abandoned and ceased to use certain excess production equipment at two of our European Metal Bearing Components Segment production facilities. Depreciation was accelerated on these assets as the useful lives of these assets were now diminished. The additional depreciation equaled $1,768 ($1,374 after tax).

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we decided to abandon the system integration cost of an enterprise resource software system used in a portion of the U.S. facilities that cannot be configured properly to support our business. Depreciation was accelerated as the useful live of the majority of the cost expended to implement the software was now diminished. The additional depreciation equaled $1,741 ($1,114 after tax).

During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Veenendaal Plant (part of the Metal Bearing Components Segment) disposed of excess land with a book value of $1,610 for proceeds of $5,628 and a resulting gain of $4,018 ($2,995, after tax).

In 2007, fixed assets at certain European operations of the Metal Bearing Components Segment were impaired as a result of the Metal Bearing Components Segment restructuring (see Note 3). The total reduction in fixed assets from the impairment charge was $3,410 and was reported in the restructuring and impairment charges of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Debt

Long-term debt at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of the following:

	2008		2007
Borrowings under our $135,000 revolving credit facility bearing interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR (0.44% at December 31, 2008) plus an applicable margin of 0.60 to 0.925, expiring September 20, 2011	$	62,441	$	70, 476

Borrowings under our $40,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.89% maturing on April 26, 2014. Annual principal payments of $5,714 began on April 26, 2008 and extend through the date of maturity.		34,286		40,000

Long-term note payable with customer related to acquiring equipment from customer as part of long-term supply agreement. Note carries a 0% rate of interest. Interest on this note has been imputed at a rate of 5.41%. Note is reduced by applying a fixed amount per piece purchased by customer.		361		1,568
Total long-term debt		97,088		112,044

Less current maturities of long-term debt		6,916		11,851

Long-term debt, excluding current maturities	$	90,172	$	100,193

During the year ended December 31, 2008 we had a $135,000 credit facility that provided us the ability to borrow in U.S. Dollars at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.60% to 0.925% or Euros at EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.60% to 0.925%. The facility had a $10,000 swing line feature to meet short term cash flow needs. Any borrowings under this swing line were considered short term. Costs associated with entering into the revolving credit facility were capitalized and amortized into interest expense over the life of the facility. As of December 31, 2008, $470 of net capitalized loan origination cost was on the balance sheet within other non-current assets. The loan agreement contained customary financial and non-financial covenants specifying that we must maintain certain liquidity measures. The loan agreement also contained customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and merger, acquisition and other fundamental changes in the Company’s business including a “material adverse change” clause. The credit agreement was collateralized by the pledge of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries.

During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into an amended and restated $90,000 revolving credit facility maturing September 2011 with Key Bank as administrative agent. The amended agreement was entered into to conform the covenants to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. In addition to the reduction in availability, the interest rate will be LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.0%. The financial and non financial covenants have been amended to relax certain financial covenants and the facility is now secured by assets of the company in addition to pledges of stock of certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries and guarantees of certain domestic subsidiaries. Finally, the new agreement places greater restrictions on our usage of cash flows including prohibiting share repurchases, dividends and investments and/or acquisitions without the approval of credit facility participants and until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenants levels.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had outstanding $40,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes which were placed in a private placement. These notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.89% and mature on April 26, 2014. Interest was paid semi-annually. As of December 31, 2008, $34,286 remained outstanding. Annual principal payments of approximately $5,714 began on April 26, 2008 and extend through the date of maturity. The agreement contained customary financial and non-financial covenants. Such covenants specified that we must maintain certain liquidity measures. The agreement also contained customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause. The notes were collateralized by the pledge of stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. We incurred costs as a result of issuing these notes which have been recorded as a component of other non-current assets and are being amortized over the term of the notes. The unamortized balance at December 31, 2008 was $483.

We were in compliance with all covenants related to the $135,000 credit facility and the $40,000 senior notes as of December 31, 2008. The table below summarizes the various financial covenants of the two agreements as of December 31, 2008:

Financial Covenants	Required Ratio	Actual Ratio
Fixed charge coverage ratio	Not less than 2.00 to 1.00	2.91 to 1.00
Funded debt to EBITDA	Not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00	2.19 to 1.00
Funded indebtedness to capitalization ratio	Not to exceed 0.55 to 1.00	0.47 to 1.00

Capital expenditures	Not to exceed 150% of prior year Depreciation	Capital expenditures 114% of prior year depreciation
Minimum net worth	No less than $74,434	$109,759

As discussed above, the covenants of the amended and restated $90,000 revolving credit facility and the $40,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes have been conformed to our current outlook for the next twelve months in this difficult economic cycle. The table below summarizes the various financial covenants of the two agreements for the year ended December 31, 2009:

Financial Covenants	Required Ratio

Funded indebtedness to capitalization ratio	Not to exceed 0.60 to 1.00
Interest coverage ratio	Not less than 3.09 to 1.00 for period ending March 31, 2009, 1.14 to 1.00 for period ending June 30, 2009, Ratio is waived for remainder of 2009
Minimum EBITDA	EBITDA shall not be less than the following for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters: $25,132 for period ending March 31, 2009, $6,783 for the period ending June 30, 2009, ($5,614 ) for the period ending September 30, 2009, ($7,842) for the period ending December 31, 2009
Capital expenditures	Not to exceed $3,500

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt including current portion for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2008 are as follows:

2009	$	6,916
2010		5,714

On June 1, 2004, our wholly owned subsidiary, NN Asia, entered into a twenty year lease agreement with Kunshan Tian Li Steel Structure Co. LTD for the lease of land and building (approximately 110,000 square feet) in the Kunshan Economic and Technology Development Zone, Jiangsu, The People’s Republic of China. The fair value of the land and building are estimated to be approximately $408 and $1,509, respectively and undiscounted annual lease payments of approximately $224 (approximately $4,482 aggregate non-discounted lease payments over the twenty year term). The lease is cancelable after the fifth, ninth, and fourteenth years without payment or penalty by the Company. In addition, after the end of year five we can buy the land for its ascribed fair value and the building for actual cost less depreciation.

Below are the minimum future lease payments under the capital lease together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2008:

Year ended December 31

8)	Employee Benefit Plans

We have two defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plans covering substantially all U.S. employees. All employees are eligible for the plans on the first day of the month following their employment date. A participant may elect to contribute between 1% and 60% of their compensation to the plans, subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) dollar limitations. Participants age 50 and older may defer an additional amount up to the applicable IRS Catch Up Provision Limit. The Company provides a matching contribution which is determined on an individual, participating company basis. Currently, the matching contribution for U.S. employees of the Metal Bearing Components Segment is the greater of five hundred dollars or 50% of the first 4% of compensation contributed. The matching contribution for IMC employees is 25% of the first 6% of compensation contributed and the matching contribution for Delta employees is 50% of the first 6% of compensation contributed. The matching contribution for Precision Metal Components Segment employees is 25% of the first 5% of compensation contributed. All participant contributions are immediately vested at 100%. Contributions by the Company for the Metal Bearing Components Segment were $175, $171, and $146 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Contributions by the Company for the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment were $108 $123, and $110 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Contributions by the Company for the Precision Metal Components Segment employees were $127 and $121 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering its Eltmann Plant. The benefits are based on the expected years of service. The plan is unfunded.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we accounted for the Eltmann plan under SFAS 158. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we measured our benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year end statement of financial position as prescribed under SFAS 158.

Following is a summary of the funded status and changes in the projected benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan during 2008 and 2007:

In determining the pension discount rate to be used for the Company’s German defined benefit plan, the Company utilizes the German Federal Reserve Bank yield curve for high quality corporate bonds with maturities that are consistent with the projected future benefit obligations of the plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the plan benefits were curtailed by not allowing new employees to join the plan and by eliminating any effects of future wage increases. The net effect was to decrease the benefit obligation and the unrecognized net loss by $1,147. The rate of compensation increase of 1.5% only applies to current retirees during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The expected pension benefit payments for the next ten fiscal years are as follows:

	Pension Benefits
2009	166
2010	190
2011	206
2012	228
2013	251

We do not expect to make any contributions to the plan in 2009 or thereafter in excess of the pension benefit payments listed above.

Severance Indemnity

In accordance with Italian law, the Company has an unfunded severance plan under which all employees are entitled to receive severance indemnities (Trattamento di Fine Rapporto or “TFR”) upon termination of their employment.

Effective January 1, 2007, the amount payable based on salary paid is remitted to a pension fund managed by a third party. The severance indemnities paid to the pension fund accrue approximately at the rate of 1/13.5 of the gross salaries paid during the year. The amounts accrued become payable upon termination of the individual employee, for any reason, e.g., retirement, dismissal or reduction in work force. Employees are fully vested in TFR benefits after their first year of service. The amounts shown in the table below represent the actual liability at December 31, 2008 and 2007 reported under accrued pension.

The following table details the changes in Italian severance indemnity for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

	2008			2007
Beginning balance	$	(8,551	)	$	(8,020	)

Service and Early Retirement Provisions

We have two plans that cover our Veenendaal Plant employees. One provides an award for employees who achieve 25 or 40 years of service and the other is for employees who retire before normal retirement age. These plans are both unfunded and the benefits are based on years of service and rate of compensation. The table below summarizes the changes in the two plans combined for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

9)	Stock Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method that required compensation expense of all employee and non-employee director share-based compensation awards to be recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair value over the requisite service or vesting period for all new awards granted after the effective date and for all awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. Effective with adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense related to stock option awards is recognized in the financial statements at the fair value of the award. The Company accounts for restricted share awards by recognizing the fair value of the awarded stock at the grant date as compensation expense over the vesting period, less anticipated forfeitures.

In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 approximately $451, $981 and $464 of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. The cost recognized in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 related to stock options was $647, $670 and $181. The cost related to restricted stock awards was $30, $83 and $283. The cost related to our long-term incentive plan was ($226), $226 and $0, respectively.

Stock Option Awards

Option awards are typically granted to non-employee directors and key employees on an annual basis. A single option grant is typically awarded to eligible employees and non-employee directors each year if and when granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and occasional individual grants are awarded to eligible employees. All employee and non-employee directors are awarded options at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The term life of options is ten years with vesting periods of generally three years for key employees and one year for non-employee directors. The fair value of options cannot be determined by market value as our options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, a financial pricing model is utilized to determine fair value. The Company utilizes the Black Scholes model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option's fair value.

During 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted 160, 192 and 172 options, respectively, to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2.73, $ 4.32 and $4.30. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $560, $336, and $0, respectively. The number of options available for future issuance under the current plan is 248. Upon exercise of stock options, new shares of the Company’s stock are issued. The weighted average assumptions relevant to determining the fair value at the dates of grant are below:

	2008	2007	2006
Term	6 years	6 years	6 years
Risk free interest rate	2.50%	4.75%	4.90%
Dividend yield	3.42%	2.66%	2.81%
Expected volatility	40.75%	41.23%	43.63%
Expected forfeiture rate	6.20%, 0%	6.20%, 0%	6.20%, 0%

The expected volatility rate is derived from actual Company common stock historical volatility over the same time period as the expected term. The volatility rate is derived by mathematical formula utilizing daily closing price data.

The expected dividend yield is derived by mathematical formula which uses the expected Company annual dividends over the expected term divided by the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the grant date.

The average risk-free interest rate is derived from United States Department of Treasury published interest rates of daily yield curves for the same time period as the expected term.

The forfeiture rate is determined from examining the historical pre-vesting forfeiture patterns of past option issuances to key employees. The forfeiture rate is estimated to be 0% for non-employee directors. While the forfeiture rate is not an input of the Black Scholes model for determining the fair value of the options, it is an important determinant of stock option compensation expense to be recorded.

The term is derived from using the “Simplified Method” of determining stock option terms as described under the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin 107.

The following table provides a reconciliation of option activity for the year ended December 31, 2008:

Options	Shares (‘000)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000)
Outstanding at January 1, 2008		1,530		$	9.93
Granted		160			9.36
Exercised		(498	)		7.75
Forfeited or expired		(8	)		11.65
Outstanding at December 31, 2008		1,184		$	10.76		6.14	$	(10,019)	(1)
Exercisable at December 31, 2008		890		$	10.84		5.43	$	(7,607)	(1)

(1) Intrinsic value is the amount by which the December 31, 2008 market price of the stock ($2.29) is less than the exercise price of the options outstanding at December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, there was approximately $307 of unrecognized compensation cost to be recognized over approximately two years.

Cash proceeds from the exercise of options in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 totaled approximately $3,862, $292, and $984. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, proceeds from stock options were presented inclusive of tax benefits of $1,216, $8 and $133, respectively, in the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $3,576, $23, and $421, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

The recognized compensation costs before tax for these restricted stock awards in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were approximately $30, $83, and $283, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost before tax for these awards at December 31, 2008, is zero as these awards fully vested on July 5, 2008. The number of restricted stock awards available for future issue is 255.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On June 29, 2007, the Company granted certain directors and other key employees an award of 151,500 performance units pursuant to the NN, Inc. 2005 Incentive Plan. Each unit was equal to one share of NN common stock. The award entitled the grantee to earn units based upon achieving earnings per share and return on capital employed targets over a defined performance cycle. The value of the performance units was based on the grant date fair value of one share of NN common stock and the performance period was fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009. Based on the fourth quarter economic downturn and the impact it is expected to have on 2009 results, the performance targets were deemed unachievable and the plan was terminated by the board of directors. As such, the $226 in compensation expense recognized in 2007 was eliminated in 2008 and there is no unrecognized compensation cost, before tax, to be recognized at December 31, 2008.

10)	Goodwill, Net

We completed our annual goodwill impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2008, 2007, and 2006. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 and between annual tests in certain circumstances. We were in the process of finalizing our October 1, 2008 goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter when our business was adversely affected by the global economic downturn. Our sales for the fourth quarter of 2008 were down 29% from the prior year period. In addition, during this time frame the price of our common stock decreased approximately 80% and our market capitalization became lower than our net carrying value of stockholders’ equity. Given the dramatic impact the global economic downturn had on our 2008 financial results and expected impact in future periods, we determined a triggering event had occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 and as such finalized our impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2008 as of that date.

Based on the results of the fourth quarter impairment tests, we determined the carrying amount of the goodwill reported in the Plastic and Rubber Components and Precision Metal Components reporting units was impaired. As such, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded $30,029 ($19,258 after-tax) for the full impairment of goodwill in our Precision Metal Components Segment and at both reporting units of our Plastic and Rubber Components Segment. These impairments were calculated using an equal weighting of a present value of expected future cash flows method and a market based multiples of sales and earnings method pursuant to SFAS 142. The main cause of the impairments was the significant reductions in future expected cash flows at each of the reporting units for the periods examined due to the current and expected sales decline in the automotive and industrial end markets and from general market weakness caused by the global economic downturn.

During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded $10,016 in impairment charges related to the restructuring of the Metal Bearing Components Segment (See Note 3 for further details). In performing the impairment reviews for 2007 and 2006, the Company estimated the fair values of the reporting units from discounting each segments’ projected future cash flows.

As of December 31, 2008, goodwill remains only at the Pinerolo Plant of the Metal Bearing Components Segment. There was no impairment to the goodwill balance as the fair value of this reporting unit was $40,200 which exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit of $24,947 by $15,253. The fair value was calculated using an equal weighting of a present value of expected future cash flows method and a market based multiples of sales and earnings method pursuant to SFAS 142.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

(In thousands)	Plastic and Rubber Components Segment			Metal Bearing Components Segment			Precision Metal Components Segment			Total

Balance as of January 1, 2007	$	25,755		$	18,040		$	2,352		$	46,147

The adjustments to purchase price allocation under the Precision Metal Components Segment related to changes made to the acquired assets and liabilities of Whirlaway during the finalization of the purchase price allocation in 2007 (See Note 2 for further details).

11)	Intangible Assets, Net

The changes in the carrying amount of Intangible Assets, net, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Intangible assets subject to amortization, net of amortization

(In Thousands)	Precision Metal Components Segment			Metal Bearing Components Segment			Total

Balance as of January 1, 2007	$	7,141		$	2,090		$	9,231

Currency impacts		--			(94	)		(94	)
Balance as of December 31, 2008	$	23		$	1,175		$	1,198

The intangible asset within the Metal Bearing Components Segment is a contract intangible related to the SNR purchase agreement and related supply agreement. This intangible asset is subject to amortization over approximately 5 years, from 2006 to 2011, and amortization expense will approximate $550 for each of the five years, depending on Euro to US Dollar exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the amortization expense totaled $626 and accumulated amortization totaled $1,585.

The intangible assets within the Precision Metal Components segment were acquired on November 30, 2006 with the purchase of Whirlaway (See Note 2.) The majority of the acquired value was a customer relationship intangible with an acquisition date fair value of $6,900. As of July 1, 2007, this intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 10 years and $751 of amortization expense was recorded in 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2008, based on the testing of goodwill in the Precision Metal Components Segment, there were indications that the intangible assets of the segment were impaired. The intangible assets were tested pursuant to SFAS 144 using expected future cash flows from the asset group tested to determine if impairment was indicated. The result was that the customer relationship intangible asset was fully impaired and an impairment charge was recorded within the Restructuring and Impairment Charges (Income), Excluding Goodwill Impairments line on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The impairment was due to the reduction in segment sales during the fourth quarter of 2008, lower expected sales levels in future periods and the significant reductions in future expected cash flows for the periods examined due to the current and expected declines in the automotive and industrial end markets and from general market weakness caused by the global economic downturn.

The remaining balance is made up of a favorable leasehold intangible with an unamortized balance of $23. The accumulated amortization related to all of the intangible assets at December 31, 2008 is $1,565. In addition, as part of the Whirlaway acquisition we acquired an intangible asset not subject to amortization of $900 related to the value of the trade names of Whirlaway. This intangible asset has an indefinite life and as such is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test. As of December 31, 2008, based on testing pursuant to SFAS 142, the fair value of this intangible asset exceeded its book value.

12)	Segment Information

The Company determined its reportable segments under the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company changed its operational structure and strategic focus such that the operations are now managed in three reportable segments. The core precision steel ball and steel roller business is managed as one reportable segment as the operations have become more fully inter-related and integrated. A new segment entitled “Precision Metal Components” was established December 1, 2006 as a result of the Whirlaway acquisition.

The Company’s three reportable segments are based on differences in product lines and are as follows:

Metal Bearing Components Segment

· Erwin Plant

· Mountain City Plant

· Kilkenny Plant*

· Eltmann Plant

· Pinerolo Plant

· Veenendaal Plant

· Kysucke Plant

· Kunshan Plant

Plastic and Rubber Components Segment

· Danielson Plant

· Lubbock Plant

Precision Metal Components Segment

· Wellington Plant 1

· Wellington Plant 2

· Hamilton Plant *

· Tempe Plant

*Production ceased in the first quarter of 2009, we are currently in the process of closing this manufacturing operation.

All of the facilities in the Metal Bearing Components Segment are engaged in the production of precision balls, rollers, and metal retainers and automotive specialty products used primarily in the bearing industry. The Plastic and Rubber Components Segment facilities are engaged in the production of plastic injection molded products for the bearing, automotive, instrumentation and fiber optic markets and precision rubber bearing seals for the bearing, automotive, industrial, agricultural, and aerospace markets. The Precision Metal Components Segment is engaged in the production of highly engineered fluid control components and assemblies, shafts, and prismatic machined parts for the air conditioning, appliance, automotive, commercial refrigeration, and diesel engine industries.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment net income after income taxes. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers at current market prices. The Company did not have any individually material inter-segment transactions during 2008, 2007, or 2006.

Net deferred income tax liability	$	2,457		$	17,015

The net operating loss carry forwards are composed of net operating losses in Germany, Slovakia, and China for which full valuation allowances have been recorded as of December 31, 2008, as it is management’s judgment that the resulting tax benefits are not realizable. According to German law, there are not any time limitations on carrying forward the $6,344 in net operating losses of our German subsidiary. Slovakian net operating losses of $548 expire by 2012. The China net operating losses of $88, $814, $2,163 and $2,037 expire in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively and have an effective tax rate of 2% as the majority of these losses will be applied to income during our tax holiday once profitability is achieved.

The foreign tax credits relate to profits of certain foreign subsidiaries that were taxed as deemed dividends. These credits represent the foreign taxes paid by these subsidiaries at higher effective rates that will be used to offset future foreign source income. A full valuation allowance was placed against these credits based on estimates of future levels of U.S. income tax and foreign source income to be generated that these credits can be used to offset. The valuation allowance will be periodically reviewed as our estimates of future foreign source income are amended based on actual foreign source income recognized in our tax returns and future changes in foreign source income.

As realization of deferred tax assets is not assured, management has placed valuation allowances against deferred tax assets it believes are not recoverable. For the remainder, management believes it is more likely than not that those net deferred tax assets will be realized. However, the amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced based on changing conditions.

As of December 31, 2006, all of the Company's foreign earnings have been previously taxed in the U.S. due to the application of IRC Sec. 956. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for undistributed earnings up to that time. For the remainder of the foreign earnings, we expect to reinvest future earnings indefinitely in operations and expansions outside the U.S. and do not expect such earnings to become subject to U.S. taxation in the foreseeable future. If such earnings were distributed beyond the amount for which taxes have been provided, foreign tax credits would substantially offset any incremental U.S. tax liability. A deferred tax liability will be recognized when we expect that it will recover these undistributed earnings in a taxable manner, such as through the receipt of dividends or sale of the investments. It is not practicable to determine the U.S. income tax liability, if any, that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $600 increase in our income tax liabilities and a corresponding reduction in beginning retained earnings.

As of the date of adoption, the total unrecognized benefits were approximately $879, all of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

	2008			2007
Beginning Balance	$	1,045		$	879
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		--			--
Additions for tax positions of prior years		--			386
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(57	)		(220	)
Settlements		--			--
Ending Balance	$	988		$	1,045

As of December 31, 2008, the $988 of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Interest and penalties related to federal, state, and foreign income tax matters are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our statements of income (loss). As of January 1, 2007, we had accrued $609 in both U.S. and foreign interest and penalties. During 2007, we accrued an additional $48 in foreign interest and penalties resulting in an accrued balance of $657 of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2007. During 2008, we accrued an additional $43 in foreign interest and penalties resulting in an accrued balance of $700 of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2008.

The Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations within various European Union countries for years before 2002. We do not foresee any significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

In addition in 2008 and 2006, there were 160 and 172, respectively, of options that were anti-dilutive due to the large amount of unrecognized compensation expense associated with these options.

15)	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has operating lease commitments for machinery, office equipment, vehicles, manufacturing and office space which expire on varying dates. Rent expense for 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $4,844, $4,908, and $2,617, respectively. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2008 under operating leases that have initial or remaining non cancelable lease terms in excess of one year.

The Metal Bearing Components Segment has a supply contract with Ascometal France (“Ascometal”) for the purchase of steel in Europe that covers the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The contract will automatically renew annually unless formal notice is sent by either party one year in advance. The percentage of steel purchased for European operations granted to Ascometal under the contract is approximately 70% or $48,000 based on 2008 purchase levels. The contract, among other things, stipulates that Ascometal achieve certain performance targets related to quality, reliability and service and the percentage granted can be reduced if those targets are not met by the vendor. The contract provisions include annual price adjustments based upon published steel scrap indexes.

On March 20, 2006, the Company received correspondence from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting information regarding Alternate Energy Resources, Inc. (“AER”), a former waste recycling vendor used by the Company’s former Walterboro, South Carolina facility. AER, located in Augusta, Georgia, ceased operations in 2000 and EPA began investigating its facility. As a result of AER’s operations, soil and groundwater became contaminated. Besides the Company, EPA initially contacted fifty-four other companies (“Potentially Responsible Parties” or PRPs”) who also sent waste to AER. Most of these PRPs, including the Company, have entered into a consent order with EPA to investigate and remediate the site proactively. To date, each participating PRP has signed a joint defense agreement and has contributed to retaining an environmental consultant who has prepared a Remedial Investigation, which has been accepted by EPA. In addition, a feasibility study, which outlines remedial options, has been submitted to EPA for approval. Once approved, costs associated with the chosen remediation will be known and the PRPs will be able to discuss proper allocation of the cost of cleanup, based on formula including both volume and the nature of the waste sent to AER for disposal. As of the date hereof, the Company does not know the amount of its allocated share. However, we believe our contribution to the remediation of the site, if any, would be approximately 1.083% or less of the volume of waste sent to the facility and we assert that our waste was non-hazardous.

The fourth quarter of 2008 was impacted by impairments of goodwill, fixed assets and other intangible assets totaling $38,371 (24,402 after tax). In addition, we recorded restructuring charges of $2,247 ($2,247 after tax) and related fixed asset impairments of $1,447 ($1,447 after tax) from the Kilkenny plant closure. (See Notes 3, 6, 10 and 11.)

In the second quarter of 2008, we benefited from a sale of excess land in our Metal Bearing Components Segment that resulted in a gain of $4,018 ($2,995 after tax). In addition the second quarter was impacted by a $1,142 deferred tax benefit at the Italian operations of our Metal Bearing Components Segment related to a change in Italian tax law.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we benefited from a reduction in deferred tax liabilities of $1,050 at our Italian operations due to the Italian government enacting in December 2007 a reduction in statutory tax rates.

The third quarter of 2007 included an accrual of $1,272 ($1,196 after tax) for cash restructuring charges related to the Metal Bearing Components Segment restructuring (See Note 3). During the fourth quarter of 2007, $1,062 $(1,062 after tax) of these restructuring charges was reversed.

The second quarter of 2007 included $13,366 ($12,623 after tax) in non-cash charges within our Metal Bearing Components Segment related to impairment of goodwill and fixed assets to levels supported by projected cash flows after restructuring activity within the segment (See Note 3).

17)	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management believes the fair value of financial instruments with maturities of less than a year approximate their carrying value due to the short maturity of these instruments or in the case of the Company’s variable rate debt, due to the variable interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term borrowings is calculated using significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy). The fair value is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis factoring in current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements under our credit profile. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are in the table below:

	December 31, 2008				December 31, 2007
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Variable rate long-term debt	$	62,441	$	62,441	$	70,476	$	70,476
Fixed rate long-term debt	$	34,647	$	30,188	$	41,568	$	40,222

18)	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The majority of our Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income balance relates to foreign currency translation of our foreign subsidiary balances. At December 31, 2008, we have deducted from accumulated other comprehensive income $3,232 due to foreign currency translation. At December 31, 2007, we have added to accumulated other comprehensive income $11,764 due to foreign currency translation. Income taxes on the foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income were not recognized because the earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations.

Also added to accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was an actuarial loss of $58, net of tax, and an actuarial gain of $656, net of tax, both from our pension liability.

19)	Common Stock Repurchase

On September 12, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program in effect for a period of one year beginning September 15, 2008 with a maximum approved amount of $20 million worth of shares to be repurchased on the open market from time to time in accordance with market regulations. The new plan replaced an existing $25 million share repurchase program initiated on September 13, 2007 that expired on September 13, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we repurchased 85,171 shares at approximately $11.91 per share for a total value of approximately $1.0 million under this new plan. During 2008, we did not purchase shares under any other program. Our amended and restated credit facility entered into on March 16, 2009, prohibits the repurchase of our shares until such time as we meet certain earnings and financial covenant levels.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company repurchased, under a 2006 approved repurchase program, approximately 211 shares at an approximate average cost of $10.26 a share for a total of $2,166. This program expired September 13, 2007 with a total of approximately 674 shares being purchased totaling $7,441.

A new share repurchase program was established for a period of one year beginning on September 13, 2007, and the amount approved for purchase, from this date until the expiration of the program, was $25 million worth of shares to be purchased in the open market from time to time in accordance with applicable laws and market regulations. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 797 shares under this program at an average cost of $9.53 per share for a total of $7,556. The total of all share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately 1,008 shares for $9,722.

20)	Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we remitted $18,638 to the former sole shareholder of Whirlaway to repay the related party note payable from the November 2006 acquisition. With the acquisition of Whirlaway, we entered into operating leases covering two of the Whirlaway manufacturing facilities with a company owned by the former shareholder of Whirlaway who is now an officer of the Company. The rent payments in 2008 and 2007 to this related party were $644 each year. The total future rent payments will be $1,932 over 3 years or $644 per year.
