NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Cybex International, Inc. (the Company or Cybex), a New York corporation, is a manufacturer of exercise equipment and develops, manufactures and markets strength and cardiovascular fitness equipment products for the commercial and, to a lesser extent, consumer markets. Currently most of the Companys products are sold under the brand name Cybex. The Company operates in one business segment.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
It is recommended that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information included in the Companys reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
NOTE 2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance codified in ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. This guidance covers financial assets and liabilities, for which the guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, as well as nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis, for which the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted ASC 820 on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and on January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities and there was no impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Notes 8 and 9 for the disclosures required by this accounting pronouncement.
In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new guidance is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 815 on January 1, 2009 and included the appropriate disclosures in Note 8. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes the standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This guidance also requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 855 for the period ended June 27, 2009 and has included the appropriate disclosure in Note 14. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
Effective September 26, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (ASU 2009-01). ASU 2009-01 is not expected to change U.S. generally accepted accounting principles but combines all nongovernmental authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized database. All other accounting literature excluded from ASU 2009-01 will be considered nonauthoritative. All references to authoritative accounting literature have been made in accordance with ASU 2009-01.
NOTE 3 CONCENTRATION OF RISK AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT DATA
Sales to one customer represented 15.1% and 14.7% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009 and 12.5% and 12.8% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer were $1,840,000 and $1,583,000 at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Sales to another customer or its franchisees represented 8.1% and 6.9% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009 and 12.9% and 12.2% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable from that customer and its franchisees were less than $200,000 at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys net sales in any of those periods.
There was no single geographic area of significant concentration other than the U.S. Sales outside of North America represented 33% and 29% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009 and 29% and 27% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. No single foreign country accounts for greater than 10% of consolidated net sales.
NOTE 4 ACCOUNTING FOR GUARANTEES
The Company arranges equipment leases and other financings for its customers. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases the Company may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. In such situations, the Company ensures that the transaction between the independent leasing company and the end user customer represents a sales-type lease. The Company monitors the payment status of the lessee under these arrangements and provides a contingency reserve in situations when collection of the lease payments is not probable. At September 26, 2009, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse and guarantee provisions was $5,738,000. A reserve for estimated losses under recourse provisions of $1,067,000 and $885,000 has been recorded based on historical experience and review of specific leases in default, and is included in accrued expenses at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Company as guarantor will recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantees. The Company has recorded a net liability of $71,000 and $62,000 at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, for the estimated fair value of the Companys guarantees issued after January 1, 2003. The fair value of the guarantees was determined based on the estimated cost for a customer to obtain a letter of credit from a bank or similar institution. This liability is reduced on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective guarantee. In most cases, if the Company is required to fulfill its obligations under the guarantee, then it has the right to repossess the equipment from the customer. It is not practicable to estimate the approximate amount of proceeds that would be generated from the sale of these assets in such situations.
Additionally, the Company provides a warranty on its products for labor of one year and for parts ranging from one to ten years depending on the part and type of equipment. The accrued warranty obligation is provided at the time of product sale based on management estimates which are developed from historical information and certain assumptions about future events, which are subject to change.

NOTE 5 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company records stock-based compensation to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, with such cost recognized over the period that the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant date fair value of the award.
For the three months ended September 26, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $46,000 consisting of expenses related to stock options ($43,000) and stock issued to directors ($3,000). For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $134,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($126,000) and stock issued to directors ($8,000). For the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $67,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($41,000) and stock issued to directors ($26,000). For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $201,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($125,000) and stock issued to directors ($76,000).
Cybexs 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Omnibus Plan) is designed to provide incentives that will attract and retain individuals key to the success of the Company through direct or indirect ownership of the Companys common stock. The Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance awards and bonus stock purchase awards. The Company reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. A registration statement was filed for the Omnibus Plan and the Company provides newly-issued shares of registered common stock upon the exercise of options and upon stock grants under the Omnibus Plan.
The terms and conditions of each award are determined by a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the Omnibus Plan, the committee may grant either qualified or nonqualified stock options with a term not to exceed ten years from the grant date and at an exercise price per share that the committee may determine (which in the case of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Companys common stock on the date of grant). The options generally vest over a three to five year period (with some cliff vesting).

The intrinsic value of options exercised in the three months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was $0 and $32,000, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was $0 and $138,000, respectively.
As of September 26, 2009, there was $358,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
At September 26, 2009, there are 791,000 shares available for future issuance pursuant to the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The Companys 2002 Stock Retainer Plan for Nonemployee Directors (2002 Plan) provided that each nonemployee director received 50% of his annual retainer in shares of common stock of the Company. Up to 150,000 shares of common stock could be issued under the 2002 Plan. The issuance of shares as partial payment of annual retainers resulted in expense based on the fair market value of such shares. The January 2009 issuance of shares under the 2002 Plan, which related to services performed in 2008, exhausted the authorized shares under the Plan, and the Board of Directors in February 2009 suspended its operation. In January 2009, the Company issued 18,270 shares of common stock to the directors, which had a fair value of $59,000, related to directors fees earned in 2008, which were included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2008. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $23,000 and $68,000 for three months and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively for common stock issuable to the directors for 2008 services, which was included in accrued expenses at September 27, 2008 and was issued in 2009. During the quarter ended March 29, 2008, the Company issued 16,158 shares of common stock to the directors, which had a fair value of $90,000, related to directors fees earned in 2007, which were included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2007.

In June 2007, a $13,000,000 mortgage loan was advanced to the Company pursuant to the loan agreement dated as of October 17, 2006 (the Citizens Loan Agreement) with RBS Citizens, National Association (Citizens). The proceeds of this loan were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of an approximate 340,000 square foot manufacturing, office and warehouse facility located in Owatonna, Minnesota. The loan is secured by the Owatonna real estate and is cross-collateralized by the Companys accounts receivable and inventory.
In July 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the Wachovia Loan Agreement) with Wachovia Bank, NA (Wachovia), which was supplemented in March 2008 and March 2009. The Wachovia Loan Agreement as supplemented provides for three term loans, the proceeds of which have financed the acquisition of machinery and equipment. $5,000,000 was advanced pursuant to the initial term loan, $1,975,000 was advanced pursuant to the second term loan and $1,000,000 was advanced pursuant to the third term loan. The principal of the initial term loan is to be retired by sixty equal principal payments that commenced March 1, 2008 with a maturity date of March 1, 2013, and the principal of the second term loan is to be retired by sixty equal principal payments which commenced January 1, 2009 with a maturity date of January 1, 2014. The principal of the third term loan will be retired by a balloon payment at the maturity date of December 31, 2009. The Wachovia term loans are secured by the Companys equipment.
In July 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Citizens Credit Agreement) with Citizens, providing for a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of a ceiling or an amount determined by reference to a borrowing base composed of designated percentages of the Companys eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The revolving line of credit is available to July 1, 2011 and is secured by the Companys accounts receivable and inventory. Availability under the revolving loan fluctuates daily based on the borrowing base. At September 26, 2009, there was $4,250,000 unused availability under the revolving line of credit. The Company believes that the availability under the revolving line of credit together with the Companys anticipated cash flows are sufficient to fund its general working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months.

The Citizens revolving line of credit prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.25% or the prime rate minus 1%, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, and after such date bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% to 3.0% based on a performance grid. The Citizens real estate loan prior to April 1, 2009, bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.2% per annum, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, and after such date bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% to 3.0% based on a performance grid. The Wachovia initial and second term loans prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.2% to 1.45% based on a performance grid and from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 these term loans bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The third term loan from Wachovia prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. After June 30, 2009, the Wachovia term loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%. LIBOR was .25% at September 26, 2009.
The average outstanding revolving loan balance for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was $1,101,000 and $465,000, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate was 2.09% and 3.66%, respectively. Interest expense on the revolving loans was $5,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively, and $39,000 and $69,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. Interest expense on the Wachovia term loans was $92,000 and $64,000 for the three months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively, and $239,000 and $203,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. Interest expense on the Citizens real estate loan was $255,000 and $221,000 for the three months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively, and $700,000 and $669,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively.
The Citizens and Wachovia credit facilities require the Company to maintain various financial covenants. The Company failed to meet certain of these covenants at the end of the first and second quarters of 2009, which failures were in each case waived by the lenders. In connection with these waivers, the Company entered into amendments to its credit facilities. The Wachovia amendments increased the interest rate on the term loans, modified the financial covenants, and increased the collateral for the term loans to include all of the Companys equipment. The Citizens amendments increased the interest rate on the credit facilities, cross-collateralized the two Citizens credit facilities, reduced the ceiling and modified the borrowing base calculation for the revolving line of credit, and amended the financial and certain other covenants contained in the credit facilities. The Company at September 26, 2009 was in compliance, and believes that it will remain in compliance for the foreseeable future, with each credit facilitys financial covenants as currently in effect.
The Companys credit agreements contain cross default provisions to each other.

NOTE 8 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge the foreign currency exposure on sales made in the UK in British Sterling. The Companys UK sales are denominated in British Sterling, while its purchases of inventory from the Company are paid in US dollars. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and accordingly changes in their fair value are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain debt. These agreements are currently designated as cash flow hedges, therefore the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
In March 2007, the Company entered into a series of 13 monthly forward contracts that began on April 30, 2007, whereby the Company paid a bank 150,000 British Sterling and the bank paid the Company $290,000 each month. In November, 2007, the Company entered into a series of 13 monthly forward contracts that began on May 30, 2008, whereby the Company paid a bank 150,000 British Sterling and the bank paid the Company $309,000 each month. This agreement was amended February 9, 2009 whereby the existing contract ended February 27, 2009. In February 2009, the Company entered into a series of 10 monthly forward contracts that began on March 31, 2009, whereby the Company pays a bank 130,000 British Sterling and the bank pays the Company $214,000 each month.
In June 2006, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with Citizens which commenced on June 29, 2007 to hedge the LIBOR-based Citizens real estate loan. The notional amount of the swap amortizes based on the same amortization schedule as the Citizens Loan Agreement and the hedged item (one-month LIBOR) is the same as the basis for the interest rate on the loan. The swap effectively converts the rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a fixed rate which prior to April 1, 2009 equaled 6.95%, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 equaled 8.00% and after June 30, 2009 throughout the duration of the loan, the rate equals 8.25% or 8.75% based on a performance grid. The swap and interest payments on the debt settle monthly. The real estate loan and the swap both mature on July 2, 2014. There was no initial cost of the interest rate swap. The change in fair value of the swap resulted in income of $289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Effective June 27, 2007, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a derivative hedging instrument and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap after such date are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
In November 2007, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with Wachovia, which commenced on March 3, 2008, which is intended to hedge the initial LIBOR-based Wachovia term loan. The notional amount of the swap amortizes based on the same amortization schedule as the initial Wachovia term loan and the hedged item (one-month LIBOR) is the same as the basis for the interest rate on the loan. The swap effectively converts the rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a fixed rate which prior to April 1, 2009 equaled 5.76% or 6.01% based on a performance grid, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 equaled 6.81% and after June 30, 2009 equals 8.06% throughout the duration of the swap. The swap and interest payments on the debt settle monthly. The term loan matures March 1, 2013 and the swap matures on March 1, 2011. There was no initial cost of the interest rate swap. The Company determined the interest rate swap qualifies as a derivative hedging instrument and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

See Note 9 Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a description of how the above financial instruments are valued.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these financial instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet its obligations. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date. As of September 26, 2009, the Companys exposure to the failure of its counterparties is immaterial.
For the cash flow hedges referred to above, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into pre-tax earnings in the next 12 months is $110,000. The timing of actual amounts reclassified into earnings is dependent on future movement in interest rates.

NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital leases, long-term debt and derivative instruments (discussed below). The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based on the terms of the Companys debt instruments (including the capital leases) that are outstanding as of September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the carrying values are considered to approximate their respective fair values. See Note 7 for the terms and carrying values of the Companys various debt instruments.
The following table presents the Companys financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

The valuation of the foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements are based on quoted prices from the counterparties that value these instruments using proprietary models and market information at the date presented, as well as consideration of the impact of the risk of non-performance of the counterparty and the Company.
There were no non-financial assets or liabilities subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 26, 2009.
NOTE 10 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009, options to purchase 679,375 and 684,375 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $7.37 per share were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, options to purchase 319,000 and 209,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $3.43 to $7.37 per share and $4.06 to $7.37 per share, respectively were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as the result would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 12 CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
United Leasing, Inc. v. Cybex International, Inc., et al.
The Company on February 25, 2009 was served with an Amended Complaint which added the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cybex Capital Corp. (collectively with the Company referred to herein as Cybex), as additional defendants in this action originally venued in the Circuit Court for Williamson County, State of Tennessee. The plaintiff, United Leasing, Inc., provided a series of lease financings for the sale of Cybex equipment primarily by an independent dealer, also a defendant in the action. The plaintiff alleges that it was induced to finance in excess of the purchase price for the equipment due to alleged rebates made by the independent dealer to the purchaser/lessee which has since entered bankruptcy. Cybex provided limited guarantees of certain of the leases, and the plaintiff now asserts that Cybex participated in the alleged rebates. The Amended Complaint included claims for breach of contract, conversion, intentional/fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and civil conspiracy. The plaintiff seeks from Cybex an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, including repurchase of the leases; damages in the amount of the alleged rebates, stated to be at least $350,000; payment of the lease guarantees, stated to be at least $365,000 plus one-half of the remaining balance of one lease; and interest, costs and counsel fees.
During March 2009, this action was removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, and Cybex filed an Answer denying all material allegations of the Amended Complaint, other than admitting it had provided limited guarantees of certain of the leases at issue. While Cybex has asserted that the plaintiffs acts and omissions have relieved Cybex of liability under the lease guarantees, a reserve for the estimated amount of the guarantee obligation is included in accrued expenses at September 26, 2009, should it be determined that Cybex remains responsible thereunder.
The Company is involved in certain other legal actions, contingencies and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees related to those matters are charged to expense as incurred.
Product Liability
As of December 31, 2008, the Company accrued $5,000,000 for a product liability claim and a corresponding receivable for a liability claim estimated to be recoverable under the Companys insurance policies. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the product liability claim and corresponding receivable. As of September 26, 2009, the balance was reduced to $4,644,000. This accrual was included as a component of other liabilities and the insurance recoverable was included as a component of other assets at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
NOTE 13 INCOME TAXES
In 2002, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Management, on a quarterly basis, reevaluates the need for this valuation allowance based upon the existence of various factors. Based on this re-evaluation, the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $5,377,000 in 2007.

Table of Contents
For the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, an income tax provision (benefit) of (26.0%) and 44.3% of income (loss) before taxes was recorded, totaling ($1,208,000) and $1,422,000, respectively.
At December 31, 2008, U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,009,000 were available to offset future taxable income and, as of such date, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $4,426,000, which have an unlimited life, federal alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards of $670,000, which do not expire, and federal research and development tax credit carry forwards of $251,000, which began to expire in 2009 and various net operating loss and credit carry forwards for state tax purposes. The U.S. federal operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2020.
Approximately $37,000,000 of income before income taxes is needed to fully realize the Companys recorded net deferred tax asset and $42,000,000 of future taxable income is needed to fully realize the Companys deferred tax assets. The difference between this figure and the net operating loss carry forwards and credits is primarily cumulative book versus tax differences related to various expenses.
The net deferred tax asset balance of $14,420,000 at September 26, 2009 represents the amount that management believes is more-likely-than-not to be realized, and the remaining valuation allowance at September 26, 2009 is $1,909,000. Management will continue to assess the need for the remaining valuation allowance in future periods.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-15, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. There was no impact on the Companys financial position upon adoption and there have been no material changes through September 26, 2009.
NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As discussed in Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 26, 2009 to November 3, 2009. There were no subsequent events required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
Statements included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the statements made below. These include, but are not limited to, competitive factors, technological and product developments, market demand, economic conditions, the resolution of litigation involving us and our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facilities. Further information on these and other factors which could affect our financial results can be found in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Part I thereof, our Current Reports on Form 8-K, this Form 10-Q and the proxy statement dated March 26, 2009.
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
We are a New York corporation that develops, manufactures and markets high performance, professional quality exercise equipment products for the commercial market and, to a lesser extent, the premium segment of the consumer market.
We estimate that commercial sales represent more than 90% of our total net sales. Our financial performance can be affected when, in times of economic uncertainty, our commercial customers, particularly fitness clubs, become cautious in making expansion and other capital investments and reduce their expenditures for items such as the fitness equipment offered by us.
Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2008, our net sales have declined compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, with net sales in the first nine months of 2009 about 21% below net sales in the corresponding 2008 period. We believe that this sales decline largely reflects our commercial customers, particularly fitness clubs, being cautious in making capital investments due to economic conditions, both generally and in the fitness industry.
While we cannot be certain how long these conditions will persist or the extent that these conditions will affect our financial performance, we expect sales to continue to be negatively impacted by the economy. We further expect that sales will rebound as the economy recovers.
We have taken various steps to reduce expenses in response to the decline in our sales. These steps have included a first quarter 2009 work force reduction of about 5% and a second quarter 2009 wage reduction of 3% or 5% for all employees. In addition, at the request of our outside Board members, a corresponding 5% reduction in director fees will be in effect during the period of the employee wage reduction. We intend to monitor general economic conditions and our sales performance and, if warranted, may effect further cost saving measures during the year.
We failed to meet certain financial covenants contained in our credit facilities at March 28 and June 27, 2009. We received waivers with respect to these failures and have renegotiated our financial covenants with our lenders. At September 26, 2009 we were in compliance with each credit facilitys financial covenants as currently in effect and we believe that we will remain in compliance with these financial covenants for the foreseeable future.
The foregoing statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. In particular, the continued uncertainties in U.S. and global economic conditions and in the fitness industry make it particularly difficult to predict product demand and other related matters and may preclude us from achieving expected results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
Our net sales decreased $6,767,000, or 19%, to $28,986,000 for the third quarter of 2009 from $35,753,000 for the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, net sales decreased $23,007,000, or 21%, to $85,662,000 from $108,669,000 compared to the same period in 2008. For the third quarter of 2009, sales of cardiovascular products decreased $2,770,000, or 15%, to $16,392,000, sales of strength products decreased $3,521,000, or 26%, to $10,083,000 and freight, parts and other sales decreased $476,000 or 16%, to $2,511,000 compared to the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, sales of cardiovascular products decreased $8,912,000, or 16%, to $47,460,000, sales of strength products decreased $12,825,000, or 30%, to $29,643,000 and freight, parts and other sales decreased $1,270,000 or 13%, to $8,559,000 compared to the same period in 2008. The sales decline was generally throughout our product offerings and was reflective of economic conditions, generally and in the fitness industry.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2009 decreased by .7% to 31.6% from 32.3% for the same period in 2008. The decrease was caused primarily by higher warranty expense (1.2%) and lower overhead absorption due to sales volume (.4%), partially offset by lower freight costs (.9%).
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 decreased by 5.2% to 28.3% from 33.5% for the same period in 2008. The decrease was caused primarily by higher material costs (4.6%) and warranty expense (1.3%), partially offset by lower freight costs (.7%).
The price of steel, a major component of our products, fluctuates from time to time. Prices for steel were higher during the first six months of 2009 compared to the corresponding period of 2008. The price of steel started to decline during the second quarter of 2009 and steel costs for the third quarter of 2009 were slightly favorable compared to the third quarter of 2008. We cannot predict the future impact of steel prices on our results.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,603,000, or 15%, to $8,997,000 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $10,600,000 in the third quarter of 2008, predominantly due to a decrease in domestic and international selling and marketing expenses ($850,000) and a decrease in product development costs ($327,000). For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4,308,000, or 13%, to $27,932,000 compared to $32,240,000 for the comparable period in 2008, predominantly due to a decrease in domestic and international selling and marketing expenses ($2,085,000) and a decrease in product development costs ($1,769,000). In response to economic conditions we have effectuated various cost reductions. We expect that these steps will result in selling, general and administrative expenses continuing at a reduced level for the balance of 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 31% and 33% of sales for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009 and 30% of sales for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense increased by $1,000 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period of 2008. For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, net interest expense decreased by $24,000 primarily due to interest earned from a financing program established in 2009 offset by higher debt balances and interest rates.
INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of ($228,000) and ($1,208,000) for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2009, respectively and $305,000 and $1,422,000 for the three and nine

months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. In 2002, we established a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets. On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the need for this valuation allowance based upon the existence of various factors. Based on this reevaluation, we reduced the valuation allowance by $5,244,000 effective September 29, 2007. The effective tax rate (benefit) was (155.1%) and 47.3% for the three months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. The effective tax rate benefit for the third quarter of 2009 was impacted by the increase in the year-to-date effective tax (benefit) rate. The computation for the quarter includes the recording of the reconciliation of the prior year income tax return to the tax provision, as well as normal fluctuations in the year-to-date computation including non-deductible foreign losses and other non-deductible expenses. The effective tax rate (benefit) was (26.0%) and 44.3% for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. The low tax benefit rate for 2009 is primarily due to the effects of non-deductible foreign losses. Actual cash outlays for taxes continue to be reduced by the available operating loss carry forwards.
As of December 31, 2008, U.S. federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16,009,000 were available to us to offset future taxable income and, as of such date, we also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $4,426,000, federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $670,000 and federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $251,000. The net deferred tax asset balance of $14,420,000 at September 26, 2009 represents the amount that we believe is more-likely-than-not to be realized, and the remaining valuation allowance at September 26, 2009 is $1,909,000. If the estimates and related assumptions relating to the likely utilization of the deferred tax asset change in the future, the valuation allowance may change accordingly.
We adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-15 on January 1, 2007. There was no impact on our financial position upon adoption and there have been no material changes through September 26, 2009.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 26, 2009, we had working capital of $18,837,000 compared to $20,929,000 at December 31, 2008. The net decrease in working capital is primarily due to the effects of operating losses incurred during the period.
For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, we generated $101,000 of cash from operating activities compared to $8,335,000 for the nine months ended September 27, 2008. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to a net loss in 2009 compared to the prior period net income, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a smaller decrease in accounts receivable in 2009 than in the corresponding period of 2008.
Cash used in investing activities of $434,000 during the nine months ended September 26, 2009 consisted of purchases of computer hardware and infrastructure of $222,000 and manufacturing tooling and equipment of $212,000, primarily for the manufacture of new products. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 27, 2008 consisted of purchases of manufacturing tooling and equipment of $3,978,000, primarily for the manufacture of new products, and computer hardware and infrastructure of $1,448,000. We currently expect that our capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2009 will not exceed $500,000.
Cash used in financing activities was $126,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 2009, consisting primarily of $1,403,000 of term loan repayments and $451,000 for purchases of treasury stock through a repurchase program offset by a $1,000,000 Wachovia term loan and $750,000 of net revolver borrowings. Cash used in financing activities was $2,011,000 for the nine months ended September 27, 2008, consisting primarily of debt repayments.
We have credit facilities with RBS Citizens, National Association (Citizens) and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia). Our Citizens Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of a ceiling or an amount determined by reference to a borrowing base. Our Citizens Loan Agreement provided for a $13,000,000 real estate loan which was advanced in 2007 to finance the acquisition of our
20
Table of Contents
Owatonna facility. We entered into the Wachovia Loan Agreement in 2007, providing for a term loan to finance the acquisition of machinery and equipment. The Wachovia Loan Agreement was supplemented in 2008 and 2009 to provide additional term loans to finance the acquisition of machinery and equipment. A total of $5,000,000, $1,975,000, and $1,000,000, respectively, was advanced under the initial, second and third Wachovia term loans.
The Citizens revolving line of credit is secured by our accounts receivable and inventory, and matures July 1, 2011. The Citizens real estate loan is secured by a mortgage on the Owatonna facility, is cross -collateralized by our accounts receivable and inventory and matures on July 2, 2014. The Wachovia loans are secured by our equipment. The first Wachovia term loan matures on March 1, 2013, the second term loan matures on January 1, 2014 and the third term loan matures on December 31, 2009.
At September 26, 2009, there were $750,000 in revolving credit loans, a $11,873,000 real estate loan and $6,212,000 in term loans. Availability under the revolving loan fluctuates daily. At September 26, 2009, there was $4,250,000 in unused availability under the working capital revolving loan facility.
Our credit facilities include financial covenants. We failed to meet certain of these covenants at March 28 and June 27, 2009. We obtained waivers from each lender for the quarters then ended and also have entered into amendments of each credit facility which among other things modified the financial covenants. At September 26, 2009, we were in compliance with each credit facilitys financial covenants as currently in effect and we believe that we will remain in compliance with these financial covenants for the foreseeable future.
In November 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to one million shares of our common stock. There is no requirement that any level of purchases up to the maximum be made under this program, and the timing, amount and cost of any purchase depends upon various factors, including our stock price and market conditions. Through September 26, 2009, 531,200 shares had been repurchased under this program with an aggregate cost to us of $703,000. Pursuant to our credit facilities, we are currently restricted in making further purchases of our shares.
We rely upon cash flows from our operations and borrowings under our credit facilities to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. A decline in sales or margins or a failure to remain in compliance with the terms of our credit facilities could result in having insufficient funds for such purposes. We believe that our expected cash flows and the availability under our revolving line of credit are sufficient to fund our general working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months.
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $20,435,000 in net operating loss carry forwards, substantially all of which will be available to offset future taxable income.

We have agreements with our named executive officers that provide for severance payments to the officer in the event the employee is terminated without cause or, in certain situations, the officer resigns after a change of control. The estimated maximum cash exposure under these agreements, assuming the employment of the officers terminated effective as of December 31, 2008, was $3,095,000. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of the executive officers separation from the Company.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have a lease financing program whereby we arrange equipment leases and other financing for certain commercial customers for selected products. These leases are sales-type leases and are generally for terms of three to five years, at which time title transfers to the lessee. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases we may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. At September 26, 2009, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse provisions was approximately $5,738,000. A reserve for estimated losses under recourse provisions of $1,067,000 has been recorded based upon historical experience and review of specific leases in default, and is included in accrued liabilities at September 26, 2009.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventory, reserves for warranty obligations, reserves for legal matters and product liability, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, which could materially impact the Companys results of operations and financial position. These critical accounting policies and estimates have been discussed with the Companys audit committee.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. Management continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. If the financial condition of a specific customer or the Companys general customer base were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Table of Contents
Realizability of inventory. The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and historical usage, after considering the impact of new products. If actual market conditions and product demand are less favorable than projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Warranty reserve. All products are warranted for one year labor and up to ten years for structural frames. Warranty periods for parts range from one to ten years depending on the part and the type of equipment. A warranty liability is recorded at the time of product sale based on estimates that are developed from historical information and certain assumptions about future events. Future warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates, usage and service costs incurred in addressing warranty claims. These factors are impacted by the level of new product introductions and the mix of equipment sold to the commercial and consumer markets. If actual warranty costs differ from managements estimates, adjustments to the warranty liability would be required.
Legal matters. The Company records a reserve related to certain legal matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of such loss can be determined. With respect to other matters, management has concluded that a loss is only possible or remote and, therefore, no loss is recorded. As additional information becomes available, the Company will continue to assess whether losses from legal matters are probable, possible, or remote, and the adequacy of accruals for probable loss contingencies.
Product liability reserve. Due to the nature of its products, the Company is involved in certain pending product liability claims and lawsuits. The Company maintains product liability insurance coverage subject to deductibles. Reserves for self-insured retention, including claims incurred but not yet reported, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, based on managements review of outstanding claims and claims history and consultation with its third-party claims administrators. If actual results vary from managements estimates, adjustments to the reserve would be required.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company accrued $5,000,000 for a product liability claim and a corresponding receivable for a liability claim estimated to be recoverable under the Companys insurance policies. On a quarterly basis, the company reviews the product liability claim and corresponding receivable. As of September 26, 2009, the balance was reduced to $4,644,000. This accrual was included as a component of other liabilities and the insurance recoverable was included as a component of other assets at September 26, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Valuation of deferred tax assets. In 2002, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. On a quarterly basis, management reevaluates the need for this valuation allowance due to the existence of various factors. Based on this reevaluation, the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $5,377,000 in 2007. The net deferred tax asset balance of $14,420,000 at September 26, 2009 represents the amount that management believes is more-likely-than-not to be realized and the remaining valuation allowance at September 26, 2009 is $1,909,000. Management will continue to assess the need for the remaining valuation allowance in future periods. Approximately $37,000,000 of income before income taxes is needed to fully realize the Companys recorded net deferred tax asset and $42,000,000 of future taxable income is needed to fully realize the Companys deferred tax assets. The difference between total deferred tax assets and the net operating loss carry forwards and credits is primarily book versus tax differences of various expenses. If the estimates and related assumptions relating to the likely utilization of the deferred tax asset change in the future, the valuation allowance may change accordingly.
