PART I
ITEM 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has evaluated the existence of subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
NOTE B — INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for substantially all inventories are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
The major components of inventories are as follows (net of LIFO reserves):

ITEM 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
NOTE F — INCOME TAXES — CONTINUED
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2010 of $1.5 million includes $876,000 which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate.
At June 30, 2010, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits remained at approximately $1.5 million. The activity in the current year is primarily related to a $93,000 increase in current year tax positions and a $12,000 decrease related to settlements with taxing authorities. The June 30, 2010 balance of unrecognized tax benefits includes $978,000 which, if ultimately realized, will reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate.
The statute of limitations in several jurisdictions will expire in the next 12 months. The Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $64,000 which would be recognized if the statute of limitations expires without the relevant taxing authority examining the applicable returns.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Except as noted below, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2006.
The Company was examined by the Canadian Revenue Agency for tax years ending 2004 — 2006 related to inter-company royalty payments. The Company received a final assessment during the first quarter 2009 and has filed a Competent Authority Appeal with both U.S. and Canadian Competent Authorities to eliminate double tax treatment. Under the most recent U.S.-Canadian tax protocol, Competent Authority assessments should achieve symmetry under binding arbitration. Any adjustment resulting from Competent Authority resolution of the examination is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or future consolidated results of operations of the Company.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. The Company had accrued approximately $391,000 for the payment of interest and penalties at January 1, 2010. An additional accrual of interest and penalties of approximately $37,000 and $61,000 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
NOTE G — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired prior to January 1, 2008. Additionally, the Company sponsors a defined contribution pension plan at one location not participating in the defined benefit pension plan. A 401(k) plan that includes a graduated Company match is also available. The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit health care plan that provides health benefits to substantially all retirees and their spouses.
For substantially all United States employees hired after January 1, 2008, an enhanced 401(k) plan is available instead of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Benefits are based on age and years of service with the Company. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2008 are not affected by the change.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of pumps and related equipment (pump and motor controls) for use in water, wastewater, construction, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to exceptional product quality, application and performance combined with delivery and service, and attempts to continually develop initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.
Since the fourth quarter of 2008, demand for most of our products slowed due to the global economic recession. The Company responded to these challenging business conditions by adjusting cost structures to current operating levels and realigning production plans to match current demand. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company experienced improved financial results with earnings largely driven by solid operating performance in what is still an unpredictable environment. Customer order growth continues to be encouraging, but the Company remains cautious as full economic recovery remains uncertain.

Second Quarter 2010 Compared to Second Quarter 2009
Net Sales
                                 
    Three Months Ended              
    June 30,              
(Thousands of dollars)   2010     2009     $ Change     % Change  
Net sales
  $ 72,380     $ 68,345     $ 4,035       5.9 %
The increase in net sales during the quarter was positively impacted by the early stages of economic recovery and is due primarily to increases in the international fire protection market of $4.1 million, custom pump applications of $2.7 million and the construction and rental market of $2.3 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreased sales in the OEM market of $2.9 million and the domestic fire protection market of $1.8 million.
Cost of Products Sold
                                 
    Three Months Ended

% of Net sales
    76.1 %     76.9 %                
The increase in cost of products sold was primarily due to higher sales volume which resulted in additional material costs of $3.3 million, including higher LIFO expense of $1.6 million versus the second quarter 2009 which benefited from a $1.1 million liquidation of LIFO quantities due to reduced inventory levels. Partially offsetting the increases was lower healthcare expense of $864,000 due to reduced medical costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
                                 
    Three Months Ended

% of Net sales
    11.6 %     12.9 %                
The decrease in SG&A expenses is principally due to lower professional fees of $258,000 resulting from reduced legal fees, and lower healthcare expense of $231,000 due to reduced medical costs.

% of Net sales
    0.6 %     0.1 %                
The increase in other expense is due to higher foreign currency exchange rate losses of $257,000 related primarily to the decrease in the value of the Euro, and to losses on disposal of assets of $246,000 primarily related to the former Mansfield Division facilities and the write-down in value of the portion of the former facilities which is currently available for sale.

The increase in the effective tax rate of 1.1 percentage points during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due primarily to the inclusion of the research and development tax credit in the 2009 provision. This credit has not yet been extended for 2010.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
The decrease in sales in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period last year was due principally to declines in the OEM market of $2.9 million, the domestic fire protection market of $2.8 million, the government market of $1.9 million and the municipal market of $1.6 million. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in the international fire protection market of $3.3 million, the rental market of $2.4 million and the industrial market of $1.7 million.
The backlog at June 30, 2010 was $105.0 million compared to $82.9 million at June 30, 2009, representing a 27% increase primarily due to an increase of orders in custom pump applications, the municipal market, the rental market and the international fire protection market, partially offset by a decline in orders for the OEM market.

% of Net sales
    76.3 %     77.8 %                
The decrease in cost of products sold was due in part to lower sales volume which resulted in lower material cost of $1.0 million. This decrease is net of higher LIFO expense of $777,000 versus the first six months of 2009 which benefited from a $1.1 million liquidation of LIFO quantities due to reduced inventory levels. Manufacturing costs included decreases in warranty expense of $837,000 due to estimates related to lower sales volume and improved claims experience, compensation and payroll taxes of $742,000 due to slightly lower employment levels, and pension expense of $699,000 as a result of lower amortization expense due to the rebound in equity markets during 2009. In addition, healthcare expense decreased $661,000 due to reduced medical costs for active employees, and postretirement expense decreased $203,000 due to reduced medical costs for retired employees. Partially offsetting these decreases was increased depreciation expense of $968,000 primarily due to the consolidation and expansion of the Mansfield, Ohio facilities (the Mansfield facilities).

The decrease in SG&A expenses is principally due to lower professional fees of $493,000 resulting from reduced legal fees, and lower healthcare expense of $267,000 due to reduced medical costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
                 
    Six Months Ended

(Thousands of dollars)   2010     2009  
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 16,511     $ 27,147  
Net cash used for investing activities
    3,974       21,994  
Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities
    (19,157 )     13,492  
The Company’s principal funding source generally is its cash generated from operations. As operations continued to improve from last year’s severe recession, higher sales resulted in increased accounts receivable, accounts payable and commissions payable during the first six months of 2010. Inventories did not yet increase in line with sales due to lead times required for replenishment.
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily consisted of remaining capital expenditures related to the Mansfield facilities of $2.5 million and machinery and equipment additions of $1.9 million, a decrease of $19.2 million compared to the same period last year. Total capital expenditures of approximately $57.2 million for the Mansfield facilities, substantially completed in 2009, have been incurred as of June 30, 2010. Non-building capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $4 to $6 million for each of 2010 and 2011.
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted principally of the re-payment of the outstanding balance of $15.0 million on short-term debt used to partially finance the Mansfield facilities, and payments for dividends of $3.5 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.3 to 1 at June 30, 2010 and 3.0 to 1 at December 31, 2009.
The Company believes that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and line of credit arrangements with banks, will continue to be sufficient to meet cash requirements, including capital expenditures and the payment of quarterly dividends.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 contained in our Fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
