2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an
amendment to FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 148), and has elected to
follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because
the exercise price of employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded.
8
If the company had elected to recognize compensation expense for stock options based on the fair
value at grant date, consistent with the method prescribed by FAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123), net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to
the pro forma amounts below. The pro forma amounts were determined using the Black-Scholes
valuation model with weighted average assumptions as set forth below.

On August 11, 2005, the Company completed a refinancing of its existing debt in the U.S. with Fifth
Third Bank (the Bank). The new financing consists of a secured revolving line of credit of $35
million (the Line of Credit). The Line of Credit is secured by the Companys U.S. assets,
including its manufacturing facilities, and requires monthly payments of interest. The Line of
Credit has a floating interest rate for the first year of 1) 1.5% over the 30-day LIBOR Rate (as
defined), or 2) the Banks Base Rate (as defined), at the Companys discretion. Thereafter, the
interest rate will vary based upon the Companys leverage ratio. The Line of Credit is payable in
full on August 1, 2011, but maturity may be accelerated by the Bank upon an Event of Default (as
defined). Prepayment may be made without penalty or premium at any time upon the required notice
to the Bank. At October 1, 2005, the Line of Credit had an outstanding balance of $999.
The Line of Credit is subject to debt covenants including: 1) Debt (as defined) to Tangible Net
Worth (as defined) ratio of not more than 1.5:1.0, 2) Funded Debt (as defined) to EBITDA (as
defined) ratio of not more than 2.5:1.0, and 3) EBIT (as defined) to Interest Expense (as defined)
ratio of not less than 1.1:1.0; and requires the Company to maintain its primary domestic deposit
accounts with the Bank. As of October 1, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all debt
covenants.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
November 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151 (FAS
151), Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4. The amendments made by FAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the
allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
While FAS 151 enhances Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43,
12
Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins, and clarifies the accounting for
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage),
the statement also removes inconsistencies between ARB 43 and International Accounting Standards
No. 2 (IAS 2) and amends ARB 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of costs should be recognized as
period costs. Under some circumstances, according to ARB 43, the above listed costs may be so
abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. FAS 151 requires these items be
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal
and requires allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion.
This standard will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. The impact of the adoption of FAS 151 on the Companys reported operating results,
financial position and existing financial statement disclosure is not expected to be material.
In December, 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment,
which is a revision of FAS 123. FAS 123(R) supersedes APB 25 and FAS 123, and amends FAS No. 95,
Statement of Cash Flows. This Statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of those awards (with limited exceptions). This Statement eliminates the alternative to use APB
25s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in FAS 123 as originally issued. Under
APB 25, issuing stock options to employees at or above fair value generally resulted in no
recognition of compensation cost.
FAS 123(R) also requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest
and to revise the estimate as the actual forfeitures differ from the estimate. This standard is
effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.
The effect of these items and other changes in FAS 123(R) as well as the potential impact on the
Companys reported operating results, financial position and existing financial statement
disclosure is currently being evaluated.
FAS 123(R) requires that the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost
be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow, thus reducing net
operating cash flows and increasing net financing cash flows in the periods after the effective
date. The Company cannot estimate what these amounts will be in the future because they depend on,
among other things, when employees exercise stock options.
The Company currently follows the disclosure only provisions of FAS 148, and has elected to follow
APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. The Company uses
the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees for
disclosure purposes. FAS 123(R) requires that the Company use the valuation technique that best
fits the circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating other techniques.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-1 (FSP 109-1) and 109-2 (FSP
109-2). FSP 109-1 provides guidance on the application of FAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(FAS 109), with regard to the tax deduction on qualified production activities provision within
H.R. 4520, The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act), that was enacted on October 22, 2004.
FSP 109-2 provides guidance on a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation
of certain foreign earnings to qualifying U.S. taxpayers. The Act contains numerous provisions
related to corporate and international taxation including repeal of the Extraterritorial Income
(ETI) regime, creation of a new Domestic Production Activities (DPA) deduction and a temporary
dividends received deduction related to repatriation of foreign earnings. The Act contains various
effective dates and transition periods. Under the guidance provided in FSP 109-1, the new DPA
deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in FAS 109. As such, the special
deduction has no effect on the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the
enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the
deduction is claimed on the Companys income tax return. The Company does not expect the net effect
of the phase-out of the ETI deduction and phase-in of the new DPA deduction to result in a material
impact on its effective income tax rate in 2005.
13
In FSP 109-2, the FASB acknowledged that, due to the proximity of the Acts enactment date to many
companies year-ends and the fact that numerous provisions within the Act are complex and pending
further regulatory guidance, many companies might not be in a position to assess the impacts of the
Act on their plans for repatriation or reinvestment of foreign earnings. Therefore, the FSP
provided companies with a practical exception to the permanent reinvestment standards of FAS 109
and APB No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes Special Areas, by providing additional time to
determine the amount of earnings, if any, that they intend to repatriate under the Acts
provisions. The Company is not yet in a position to decide whether, and to what extent, it might
repatriate foreign earnings to the U.S. Therefore, under the guidance provided in FSP 109-2, no
deferred tax liability has been recorded in 2005 in connection with the repatriation provisions of
the Act. The Company is currently analyzing the future impact of the temporary dividends received
deduction provisions contained in the Act.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these
actions will not materially affect the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of
the Company.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Sun Hydraulics Corporation is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance screw-in
hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds, which control force, speed and motion as integral
components in fluid power systems. The Company sells its products globally through wholly-owned
companies and independent distributors with some direct accounts. Sales outside the United States
for the Quarter ended October 1, 2005, were 50% of total net sales.
Approximately 66% of product sales are used by the mobile market, which is characterized by
applications where the equipment is not fixed in place, the operating environment is often
unpredictable, and duty cycles are generally moderate to low. Some examples of mobile equipment
include off-road construction equipment, fire and rescue equipment and mining machinery.
The remaining 34% of sales are used by industrial markets, which are characterized by equipment
that is fixed in place, typically in a controlled environment, and which operates at higher
pressures and duty cycles. Automation machinery, metal cutting machine tools and plastics
machinery are some examples of industrial equipment. The Company sells to both markets with a
single product line.
Industry conditions
Demand for the Companys products is dependent on demand for the capital goods into which the
products are incorporated. The capital goods industries in general, and the fluid power industry
specifically, are subject to economic cycles. According to the National Fluid Power Association
(the fluid power industrys trade association in the United States), the United States index of
shipments of hydraulic products decreased -16%, -3% and -2% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
This trend reversed in 2004 as the United States index of shipments of hydraulics products
increased 25%. The index of shipments has continued to show growth through August 2005, increasing
17%.
The Companys order trend has historically tracked closely to the United States Purchasing Managers
Index (PMI). The index was 59.4 at the end of September 2005 compared to 58.5 at the end of
September 2004. When PMI is over 50, it indicates economic expansion; when it is below 50, it
indicates contraction in the economy.

The Company had another excellent quarter with sales increasing 24% bringing year to date sales to
25% over last year. The Company is confident going into the fourth quarter, as economic indicators
in the U.S. capital goods market remain strong. The PMI, which Suns business historically tracks,
continues to show purchasing strength in the economy.
The Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet by building cash and paying down debt. In
September, the Company doubled its quarterly dividend from $0.05 to $0.10. It is also in a great
position to take advantage of potential future internal or external investment opportunities
through utilization of its new $35 million credit facility.
In addition to Robert W. Baird, which has provided independent research coverage on Sun Hydraulics
since 1997, Westminster Securities Corporation initiated independent research on the Company in
October, 2005.
The Companys CFO, Dick Dobbyn, will be retiring early next year, and Tricia Fulton will assume the
CFO position. Ms. Fulton has been with the Company since 1997 and has worked closely with Mr.
Dobbyn since this time. The Company is proud that it was able to fill this important position from
inside and has complete confidence that Ms. Fulton will do an outstanding job. Mr. Dobbyn, who
will retain the CFO position through the close of 2005, will continue to work with the Company in
an advisory role, including work on special projects.
Outlook
Historically, demand in the fourth quarter slows compared to prior periods, particularly in foreign
markets. The Company estimates sales for the fourth quarter will be approximately $27 million, a
15% increase over the fourth quarter last year, and annual sales will be approximately $116
million, a 22% increase compared to 2004. Fourth quarter earnings per share are estimated to be
between $0.20 and $0.23 per share, compared to $0.19 per share in the fourth quarter last year.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2005 AND SEPTEMBER 25, 2004
Net Sales
Net sales were $28.7 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 24.0%, compared to $23.2 million in 2004. The
increase was due in large part to the continued growth of the manufacturing sector, particularly in
North America where sales increased 22.2%, as shipments within the U.S. increased 21.5% and
Canadian shipments increased 30.0%.
European sales increased 15.9%, or $1.1 million, to $7.9 million. Significant increases were noted
in Finland, Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands.
Asian sales increased 52.8%, or $1.5 million, to $4.3 million, led by domestic sales in Korea and
China.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $2.0 million, or 28.1%, to $9.0 million. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales increased to 31.4% in the third quarter of 2005, compared to 30.4% in the third quarter
last year. Gross profit increases primarily related to higher sales volume.
Selling, Engineering and Administrative Expenses
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 16.0%, or $0.6 million, to $4.6 million
compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to increased audit and
contract labor fees, including Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance, foreign compensation expense, and a
write-off of the remaining deferred loan costs related to the extinguishment of debt.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the quarter ended October 1, 2005, remained flat at $0.1 million compared to
the quarter ended September 25, 2004. Total average debt for the quarter ended October 1, 2005, was
$7.0 million compared to $13.6 million for the quarter ended September 25, 2004. Although average
debt outstanding decreased during the period ended October 1, 2005, the average interest rate on
variable debt increased from the period ended September 25, 2004.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain
There was minimal impact to net income in the quarters ended October 1, 2005, and September 25,
2004, as a result of foreign currency transactions.
Miscellaneous Expense/(Income), Net
Miscellaneous expense increased $0.1 million compared to the quarter ended September 25, 2004. The
increase was due to expenses related to a sales tax audit in Florida, which was completed during
the quarter.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended October 1, 2005, was 30.6% of pretax income
compared to 36.7% for the quarter ended September 25, 2004. The
change was attributable to a change in the U.S. effective tax rate of
approximately 1% for some additional permanent benefits estimated
this quarter and a true-up to the Companys completed 2004 U.S.
tax return.
17
COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2005 AND SEPTEMBER 25, 2004
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the end of the month of December. Each
quarter consists of two 4-week periods and one 5-week period. The 2005 fiscal year will end on
December 31, 2005, resulting in a 53-week year. As a result of the 2004 fiscal year ending
December 25, 2004, the year-to-date period ending October 1, 2005, consists of five 4-week periods
and four 5-week periods.
Net Sales
Net sales were $88.8 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 25.0%. This increase reflected the
continued economic recovery of the manufacturing sector in the United States, increased domestic
sales in Korea and China, and strong demand in Continental Europe and Scandinavia.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 32.8%, or $7.1 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased
to 32.5% from 30.6% last year. A moderate and selective sales price increase in January this year,
coupled with increased sales volume and improved productivity, offset the increased cost of parts
and raw materials.
Selling, Engineering, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 9.2%, or $1.1 million, to $13.4 million
compared to last year. The increase was primarily due to increased audit and contract labor fees
related to 2005, including Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance, personnel related expenses, foreign
compensation expense, a write-off of the remaining deferred loan costs related to the
extinguishment of debt and costs for a bi-annual European trade show.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2005, remained flat at $0.4 million compared
to the nine months ended September 25, 2004. Total average debt for the period ended October 1,
2005, was $7.4 million compared to $15.3 million for the period ended September 25, 2004. Although
average debt outstanding decreased during the period ended October 1, 2005, the average interest
rate on variable debt increased from the period ended September 25, 2004.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain
Foreign currency gains were $0.3 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2005, and
September 25, 2004, respectively. While the Euro, the Korean Won and the British Pound made gains
against the U.S. dollar during each of the nine month periods, the U.K. operations experienced
losses related to sales conducted in U.S. dollars.
Miscellaneous Expense/(Income), Net
Miscellaneous expense increased $0.1 million compared to the quarter ended September 25, 2004. The
increase was due to expenses related to a sales tax audit in Florida, which was completed during
the quarter.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended October 1, 2005, was 35.2% of pretax
income compared to 36.4% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004. The change was primarily
due to
18
the relative mix of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which the
Company sells its products.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Companys primary source of capital has been cash generated from operations,
although fluctuations in working capital requirements have from time to time been met through
borrowings under revolving lines of credit. The Companys principal uses of cash have been to pay
operating expenses, make capital expenditures, pay dividends to shareholders and service debt.
Cash from operations for the nine months ended October 1, 2005, was $13.3 million, compared to
$11.0 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004. The $4.1 million increase in net
income was offset by working capital changes related to increased volume. Days sales outstanding
(DSO) were 34 and 33 at October 1, 2005, and September 25, 2004, respectively. Inventory turns
were 10.0 as of October 1, 2005, compared to 9.5 as of September 25, 2004.
Capital expenditures, consisting primarily of purchases of machinery and equipment, were $6.2
million for the nine months ended October 1, 2005, compared to $3.5 million for the nine months
ended September 25, 2004. Capital expenditures for the year are projected to be approximately $8.5
million.
The Company declared quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share to shareholders of record September 30,
2005, payable on October 15, 2005. The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, and any determination as to the payment of future
dividends will depend upon the Companys profitability, financial condition, capital needs, future
prospects and other factors deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors.
On August 11, 2005, the Company completed a refinancing of its existing debt in the U.S. with Fifth
Third Bank (the Bank). The new financing consists of a secured revolving line of credit of $35
million. (the Line of Credit). The Line of Credit is secured by the Companys U.S. assets,
including its manufacturing facilities, and requires monthly payments of interest. The Line of
Credit has a floating interest rate for the first year of 1) 1.5% over the 30-day LIBOR Rate (as
defined), or 2) the Banks Base Rate (as defined), at the Companys discretion. Thereafter, the
interest rate will vary based upon the Companys leverage ratio. The Line of Credit is payable in
full on August 1, 2011, but maturity may be accelerated by the Bank upon an Event of Default (as
defined). Prepayment may be made without penalty or premium at any time upon the required notice
to the Bank.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and its borrowing availability under its
revolving Line of Credit will be sufficient to satisfy the Companys operating expenses and capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future. In the event that economic conditions were to severely
worsen for a protracted period of time, the Company would have several options available to ensure
liquidity in addition to increased borrowing. Capital expenditures could be postponed since they
primarily pertain to long-term improvements in operations. Additional operating expense reductions
also could be made. Finally, the dividend to shareholders could be reduced or suspended.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its investments in Sun China and
WhiteOak. The Company does not have a majority ownership in or exercise control over either of the
entities. The Company does not believe that its investments in Sun China or WhiteOak qualify as
Variable Interest Entities, within the scope of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 5, nor are they material to the financial
statements of the Company at October 1, 2005.

Seasonality
The Company generally has experienced increased sales during the second quarter of the year,
largely as a result of the order patterns of our customers. As a result, the Companys second
quarter net sales, income from operations and net income historically are the highest of any
quarter during the year.
Inflation
The impact of inflation on the Companys operating results has been moderate in recent years,
reflecting generally lower rates of inflation in the economy. While inflation has not had, and the
Company does not expect that it will have, a material impact upon operating results, there is no
assurance that the Companys business will not be affected by inflation in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company currently only applies judgment and estimates which may have a material effect on the
eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for impairment of long-lived assets,
accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and accruals. The following explains the basis and the
procedure for each account where judgment and estimates are applied.
Revenue Recognition
The Company reports revenues, net of sales incentives, when title passes and risk of loss transfers
to the customer. The effect of material non-recurring events is provided for when they become
known.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 144, Accounting for
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (FAS 144), long-lived assets, such as property and
equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to future
net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair market value.
The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to
amortization under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142). See Goodwill
below.
Accounts Receivable
The Company sells to most of its customers on a recurring basis, primarily through distributors
with which the Company maintains long-term relationships. As a result, bad debt experience has not
been material. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined on a specific identification
basis by a review of those accounts that are significantly in arrears. There can be no assurance
that a distributor or a large direct sale customer with overdue accounts receivable balances will
not develop financial difficulties and default on payment. See balance sheet for allowance
amounts.
Inventory
The Company offers a wide variety of standard products and as a matter of policy does not
discontinue products. On an ongoing basis, component parts found to be obsolete through design or
process changes are disposed of and charged to material cost. The Company reviews on-hand balances
of products and component parts against specific criteria. Products and component parts without
usage or that have excess quantities on hand are evaluated. An inventory reserve is then
established for the full inventory carrying value of those products and component parts deemed to
be obsolete or slow moving. See Note 5 for inventory reserve amounts.
20
Goodwill
The Company acquired its Korean operations in September 1998 using the purchase method. As a
result, goodwill is reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. A valuation based on the cash
flow method was performed at December 25, 2004. It was determined that the value of the goodwill
was not impaired. There is no assurance that the value of the acquired company will not decrease
in the future due to changing business conditions. See Note 5 for goodwill amounts.
Accruals
The Company makes estimates related to certain employee benefits and miscellaneous accruals.
Estimates for employee benefit accruals are based on information received from plan administrators
in conjunction with managements assessments of estimated liabilities related to workers
compensation, health care benefits and annual contributions to an employee stock ownership plan
(ESOP), established in 2004 as part of the Companys retirement plan. Estimates for
miscellaneous accruals are based on managements assessment of estimated liabilities for costs
incurred.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain statements contained
herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, because such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including those in Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations, estimates or projections of the Company, its Directors or its
Officers about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and assumptions made by
management, and include among other items, (i) the Companys strategies regarding growth, including
its intention to develop new products; (ii) the Companys financing plans; (iii) trends affecting
the Companys financial condition or results of operations; (iv) the Companys ability to continue
to control costs and to meet its liquidity and other financing needs; (v) the declaration and
payment of dividends; and (vi) the Companys ability to respond to changes in customer demand
domestically and internationally, including as a result of standardization. Although the Company
believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
the anticipated results will occur.
Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements include, among other items, (i) the economic cyclicality of the capital
goods industry in general and the hydraulic valve and manifold industry in particular, which
directly affect customer orders, lead times and sales volume; (ii) conditions in the capital
markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of capital; (iii) changes in
the competitive marketplace that could affect the Companys revenue and/or cost bases, such as
increased competition, lack of qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and
increased labor and raw materials costs; (iv) changes in technology or customer requirements, such
as standardization of the cavity into which screw-in cartridge valves must fit, which could render
the Companys products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete; (v) new product introductions,
product sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally; and (vi) changes
relating to the Companys international sales, including changes in regulatory requirements or
tariffs, trade or currency restrictions, fluctuations in exchange rates, and tax and collection
issues. Further information relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ from
those anticipated is included but not limited to information under the headings Business
(including under the subheading Business Risk Factors) in the Companys Form 10-K for the year
ended December 25, 2004, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 2005. The Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
21
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on borrowed funds, which could
affect its results of operations and financial condition. The Company had approximately $1.1
million in variable-rate debt outstanding at October 1, 2005. The Company has managed this risk by
its ability to select the interest rate on its debt financing at LIBOR plus 1.5% or the Banks Base
Rate, whichever is more advantageous. Beginning in August 2006, the interest rate on its debt
financing will remain variable based upon the Companys leverage ratio. At October 1, 2005, a 1%
change in interest rates up or down would have affected the Companys income statement on an annual
basis by approximately $11,000 at the current, variable-rate outstanding debt level.
The Companys exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations relates primarily to the direct
investment in its facilities in the United Kingdom, Germany and Korea. The Company does not use
financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of October 1, 2005, the Companys management, under the direction of its Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the
information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms, and is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation,
the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of October
1, 2005, in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Companys
periodic SEC filings.
There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting
during the period ended October 1, 2005, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

In November 2004, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5
million of Company stock, to be completed no later than January 15, 2006. The stock
purchases will be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
Market purchases will be made subject to restrictions relating to volume, price and timing
in an effort to minimize the impact of the purchases on the market for the Companys
securities. The amount of the stock repurchases was set based upon the anticipated number of
shares that will be required to fund the Companys ESOP and employee stock purchase plan,
through fiscal year 2005. |

The Company did not purchase any shares during the third quarter under the plan. The total
