Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Portions of this Form 10-K include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. This includes, in particular, “Item 7- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-K as well as other portions of this Form 10-K. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify “forward-looking statements,” which speak only as of the date the statements were made. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. The most significant of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are described in this Form 10-K (included in “Item 1A - Risk Factors”). Except to the limited extent required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

Robbins & Myers, Inc. is an Ohio corporation. As used in this report, the terms “Company,” “R&M,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Robbins & Myers, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates another meaning. We are a leading supplier of engineered equipment and systems for critical applications in global energy, industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical markets. We attribute our success to our close and continuing interaction with customers, our manufacturing, sourcing and application engineering expertise and our ability to serve customers globally. Our fiscal 2011 sales were approximately $821 million.

On January 10, 2011 (“the acquisition date”), we completed our acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (“T-3”), by means of a merger, such that T-3 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc. The purchase price for acquiring all of the outstanding common stock of T-3 was approximately $618.4 million, which consisted of approximately $106.3 million in cash, $492.1 million as the fair value of our common shares and $20.0 million as the fair value of options and warrants issued to replace T-3 grants for pre-merger services and warrants. The operating results of T-3 are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date within our Fluid Management segment.

On April 29, 2011, we divested our Romaco businesses. The results of our Romaco segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Information concerning our sales, income before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”), identifiable assets by segment and sales and tangible assets by geographic area for the years ended August 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is set forth in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included at Item 8 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Fluid Management Segment

Our Fluid Management business segment, which includes T-3, designs, manufactures, markets, repairs and services equipment and systems used in oil and gas exploration and recovery, specialty chemical, wastewater treatment and a variety of other industrial applications. Primary brands include Moyno^®, Chemineer^® and T3^®. Our products and systems include hydraulic drilling power sections, blow-out preventers (“BOPs”), pressure control systems, wellhead equipment, frac manifolds and trees, high pressure engineered gate valves, down-hole and industrial progressing cavity pumps and related products such as grinders for applications involving the flow of viscous, abrasive and solid-laden slurries and sludge, standard and customized fluid-agitation equipment and systems, and a broad line of ancillary equipment for the energy sector, such as rod guides, rod and tubing rotators, pipeline closure products and valves.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution. We sell our hydraulic drilling power sections, BOPs, pressure control systems, wellhead equipment, manifolds and gate valves through a direct sales force. We sell our tubing wear prevention products, down-hole pump systems, closure products and industrial pumps through major oilfield and industrial distributors as well as our direct sales force and service centers in key oilfield locations. Industrial mixers and agitation equipment products are primarily sold through manufacturers’ representatives. Backlog at August 31, 2011, including T-3 backlog of $91.3 million, was $153.2 million, compared with $58.1 million at August 31, 2010.

Aftermarket Sales. Aftermarket sales consist principally of selling replacement components for our pumps, as well as the relining of power section stators, repair and field services for BOPs, manifolds, valves and pressure control

systems for the energy market. Our aftermarket business for the Chemineer^® line primarily consists of selling replacement parts. Aftermarket sales represented approximately 36% of the sales in this segment in fiscal 2011. However, replacement items, such as power section rotors and stators and down-hole pumps are components of larger systems that wear out after regular usage. These are often sold as components in larger systems and are not identifiable by us as aftermarket sales.

Markets and Competition. We believe we are one of the leading independent manufacturers of power sections, progressing cavity pumps, BOPs, pressure control systems, wellhead equipment, frac manifolds and trees, and mixing equipment, in the markets we serve. We are also a leading manufacturer of rod guides, pipeline closure products and down-hole progressing cavity pumps worldwide. While the markets we serve are generally highly fragmented, we believe that with our leading brands and products we are effectively positioned to serve customers with an attractive range of products and services.

Process Solutions Segment

Our Process Solutions business segment designs, manufactures and services glass-lined reactors and storage vessels. We also provide alloy steel vessels, heat exchangers, other fluid systems, wiped film evaporators and packaged process systems. In addition, we provide customized fluoropolymer-lined fittings, vessels and accessories. The primary markets served by this segment are the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical markets. Primary brands are Pfaudler^®, Tycon-Technoglass^®, and Edlon^®.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution. We primarily manufacture, market, sell and service glass-lined reactors, storage vessels, thermal and other fluid processing systems through our direct sales and service force, as well as manufacturers’ representatives in certain geographic markets. Backlog at August 31, 2011 was $97.8 million compared with $78.7 million at August 31, 2010.

Aftermarket Sales. Aftermarket products and services, which include field service, replacement parts, accessories and reconditioning of glass-lined vessels, are an important part of our glass-lined reactor product line. Our aftermarket capabilities and presence allow us to service our large installed base of Pfaudler^® glass-lined vessels and to meet the needs of our customers who outsource various maintenance and service functions. In addition, we refurbish and sell used, glass-lined vessels. Aftermarket sales represented approximately 34% of this segment’s sales in fiscal 2011.

Markets and Competition. We believe we have the number one worldwide market position in sales value for quality glass-lined reactors and storage vessels, competing principally with smaller European companies. Competition in Europe has increased resulting in increasing pricing pressure. There are also Asian suppliers who compete in local markets based on a lower quality specification. Our Edlon^® brand primarily competes by offering highly engineered products and products made for special needs, and tend to compete with other niche suppliers.

Other Consolidated Information

BACKLOG

Our total order backlog was $251.1 million at August 31, 2011 compared with $136.8 million at August 31, 2010. We expect to ship substantially all of our backlog during the next 12 months.

CUSTOMERS

No customer represented more than 5% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15 – Business Segments and Geographic Information, included in Item 8 of this Report for financial information by geographic region.

RAW MATERIALS

Raw materials are purchased from a broad supplier base that is often located in the same regions as our facilities. Over the last three years the prices of raw materials, especially steel, have been volatile. Our supply of steel and other raw materials and components has been adequate and available without significant delivery delays. No events are known or anticipated that would change the availability of raw materials. No one vendor provides more than 5% of our supplied materials.

GENERAL

We own a number of patents relating to the design and manufacture of our products. While we consider these patents important, we believe that the successful manufacture and sale of our products depend more upon application expertise and manufacturing skills. We are committed to maintaining high quality manufacturing standards and have completed ISO certification at many of our facilities.

During fiscal 2011, we spent approximately $5.9 million on research and development activities compared with $4.8 million in fiscal 2010 and $5.0 million in fiscal 2009. These amounts do not include significant engineering development costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling custom customer orders and executing customer projects.

Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment is not anticipated to have any material effect upon the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

At August 31, 2011, we had 3,387 employees, which included approximately 410 employees at majority-owned joint ventures. Approximately 270 of our U.S. employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements at various locations. In addition, approximately 520 of our non-U.S. employees were covered by government- mandated agreements in their respective countries. The agreement covering our Springfield, Ohio, manufacturing facility expires in fiscal 2012. The Company considers labor relations at each of its locations to be good.

CERTIFICATIONS

Peter C. Wallace, our President and Chief Executive Officer, certified to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on April 20, 2011 that, as of that date, he was not aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Listing Standards. We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) the certifications of Mr. Wallace and Christopher M. Hix, our Chief Financial Officer, that are required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to the financial statements and disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2011.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

We make available free of charge on or through our web site, at www.robn.com, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

We also post on our web site the following corporate governance documents: Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and the Charters of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees. Written copies of the foregoing documents may also be requested from our Corporate Secretary, Robbins & Myers, Inc., 51 Plum Street, Suite 260, Dayton, Ohio 45440.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

If any of the events contemplated by the following risks actually occurs, then our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We caution the reader that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We can neither predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the impact, if any, of these new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

Some of our end-markets are cyclical, which may cause fluctuations in our sales and operating results.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in operating results due to business cycles. We sell our products principally to energy, chemical, industrial and pharmaceutical markets. While we serve a variety of markets, the purchase of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. and the sale of our Romaco businesses in fiscal 2011 have resulted in a significant portion of our business being focused in the energy market. A significant downturn in any of these markets, especially energy, could cause a material adverse impact on our sales and operating results. In addition, there is a risk that if our future operating results significantly decline, it could impair our ability to realize our deferred tax assets.

Our businesses are adversely affected by economic downturns and volatility in the equity markets or interest rates could adversely impact the funded status of our pension plans.

While economic conditions improved in fiscal 2011, business conditions could worsen. Furthermore, our backlog may not be converted to revenue due to customer order cancellations.

We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent recovery, worldwide, or in the specific end markets we serve. If our markets significantly deteriorate due to these economic effects, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, our stock price could decrease if investors have concerns that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted by a worldwide economic downturn.

In addition, our defined benefit employee plans invest in fixed income and equity securities to fund employee obligations under those plans. The performance of the financial markets and interest rates impact our funding obligations under our defined benefit pension plans. Significant changes in market interest rates, decreases in the fair value of our plan assets and investment losses on plan assets may increase our future funding obligations and adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows over the long-term.

Our restructuring activities could affect our business and financial results.

To improve operational efficiency, we occasionally initiate programs to streamline operations and reduce expenses, including measures such as reductions in workforce and discretionary spending. We generally expect these initiatives to generate significant savings that we can invest in our growth initiatives and long-term value enhancing strategy. Our failure to generate significant cost savings and margin improvement from these initiatives could adversely affect our profitability and weaken our competitive position. Because we cannot always immediately adapt our production capacity and related cost structures to changing market conditions, our manufacturing capacity may at times exceed or fall short of our production requirements, which could result in the loss of customers, loss of market share and otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.

Approximately 47% of our sales are to customers outside the United States, and we are subject to economic and political and currency fluctuation risks or devaluation associated with international operations.

Approximately 47% of our fiscal 2011 sales were to customers outside the U.S., and we maintain primary operations in 15 countries. Conducting business outside the U.S. is subject to risks, including currency exchange rate fluctuations and the possibility of hyper-inflationary conditions; changes in regional, political or economic conditions including trade protection measures, such as tariffs or import/export restrictions; subsidies or increased access to capital for firms who are currently, or may emerge, as competitors in countries in which we have operations; partial or total expropriation; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; and international sentiment towards the U.S. One or more of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our international

operations. Furthermore, unexpected and dramatic devaluations of currencies in developing or emerging markets, could negatively affect the value of our earnings from, and of the assets located in, those markets.

Regulatory and legal developments including changes to United States taxation rules, health care reform, offshore drilling and hydraulic fracturing process legislation and governmental greenhouse gases emission restrictions and climate change initiatives could negatively affect our financial performance.

Our operations and the markets we compete in are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign governmental laws and regulations. Existing laws and regulations may be revised or reinterpreted and new laws and regulations, including taxation rules, health care reform, offshore drilling and hydraulic fracturing process legislation and governmental greenhouse gases emission restrictions and climate change initiatives, may be adopted or become applicable to us or our customers. These regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time and may increase our costs and reduce profitability. We cannot predict the form any such new laws or regulations will take or the impact these laws and regulations will have on our business or operations. However, significant changes in governmental laws and regulations could adversely affect our future results of operations.

We must comply with a variety of import and export laws and regulations, and the cost of compliance as well as the consequences of failure to properly comply with such laws could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to a variety of laws regarding our international operations, including regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security and various foreign governmental agencies. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international manufacturing operations and trading practices might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. Future regulations could limit the countries in which certain of our products may be manufactured or sold or could restrict our access to, and increase the cost of obtaining, products from foreign sources. In addition, actual or alleged violations of import-export laws could result in enforcement actions and substantial financial penalties.

Competition in our markets could cause our sales to decrease.

We face significant competition from a variety of competitors in our markets. In some markets, our competitors have greater resources than we do and in some cases we sell to our competitors. In addition, new competitors could enter our markets. Competitive pressures, including product quality, performance, price and service capabilities, and new technologies could adversely affect our competitive position, involving a loss of market share or decrease in prices, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

The nature of our products creates the possibility of product liability lawsuits, which could harm our business.

As a global manufacturer of a broad range of equipment and systems for use in various markets, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims. Although we maintain strict quality controls and procedures, we cannot be certain that our products will be completely free from defect. In addition, in certain cases, we rely on third-party manufacturers for components of our products. Although we have liability insurance coverage, we cannot be certain that this insurance coverage will continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost or will be adequate to cover any such liabilities. We generally seek to obtain contractual indemnification from our third-party suppliers, which is typically limited by its terms. In the event we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if a product liability claim is without merit, it could harm our business.

Our results of operations could vary based on the availability and cost of our raw materials.

The prices of our raw materials may increase. The costs of raw materials used by us are affected by fluctuations in the price of metals such as steel.

Our ability to obtain parts and raw materials from our suppliers is uncertain. We are engaged in a continuous, company-wide effort to concentrate our purchases of parts and raw materials on fewer suppliers, and to obtain parts from low-cost countries where possible. As this effort progresses, we are exposed to an increased risk of disruptions to our supply chain, which could have a significant effect on our operating results.

Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies or due to changes in accounting standards.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies could have a significant impact on our results of operations (see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of this Report). Such methods, estimates and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations. Additionally, changes in accounting standards, including new interpretations and application of accounting standards, may change our reported financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

Any impairment in the value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, would negatively affect our operating results and total capitalization.

Our total assets reflect substantial intangible assets, primarily goodwill. The goodwill results from our acquisitions, representing the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets we have acquired. We assess at least annually whether there has been any impairment in the value of our intangible assets. If future operating performance at one or more of our business units were to fall significantly below current levels, if competing or alternative technologies emerge, if we are unable to effectively integrate acquired businesses, or if market conditions for acquired businesses decline, if significant and prolonged negative industry or economic trends continue, if our stock price and market capitalization declines, or if future cash flow estimates decline, we could incur, under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating earnings for goodwill impairment. Any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of unamortized intangible assets would negatively affect our results of operations and total capitalization, the effect of which could be material.

Work stoppages, union and works council campaigns, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force could adversely impact our results of operations and cause us to incur incremental costs.

We have a number of U.S. collective bargaining units and various non-U.S. collective labor arrangements. We are subject to potential work stoppages, union and works council campaigns and potential labor disputes, any of which could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.

Our growth and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unsuccessful in our capital allocation and acquisition program. Additionally, an increase in the number of our outstanding common shares could adversely affect our common share price or dilute our earnings per share.

We expect to continue our strategy of seeking to acquire add-on businesses that broaden our existing businesses and our global reach, as well as, in the right circumstances, strategically pursuing larger, stand-alone businesses that have the potential to either complement our existing businesses or allow us to pursue a new platform. However, there can be no assurance that we will find suitable businesses to purchase or that the associated price would be acceptable. If we are unsuccessful in the acquisition efforts, then our ability to grow could be adversely affected. In addition, a completed acquisition, such as our acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc., may underperform relative to expectations, be unable to achieve synergies originally anticipated, or require the payment of additional expenses for assumed liabilities. Further, failure to allocate capital appropriately could also result in significant exposure to certain markets and geographies. Additionally, issuance of a significant number of common shares in connection with acquisitions may adversely affect our common share price or have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. These factors could potentially have an adverse impact on our operating profits and cash flows.

Divestitures could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we have sold could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We continually assess the strategic fit of our existing businesses and have in the past, and may in the future, divest businesses that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment. Divestitures pose risks and challenges that could negatively affect our business, including the potentially dilutive effect on our earnings per share and other financial impacts, potential disputes with buyers and distraction of management’s attention from core businesses. In addition, we have retained responsibility for, and in certain cases have agreed to, indemnify buyers against contingent liabilities related to the businesses we have sold, such as lawsuits, tax liabilities and product liabilities claims.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business filed or pending against us. Although we cannot predict the outcome of such claims, suits and complaints with certainty, we do not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is subject to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security regarding potential export controls violations arising from certain shipments by our Belgian subsidiary to one customer in Iran, Sudan and Syria in 2005 and 2006. The Company has cooperated with the investigation. At this time, we cannot determine the likely outcome of the current investigation or whether the Company will have any material liability associated with the shipments that are the subject of the investigation. It is not anticipated as probable that the Company will have a material liability associated with the shipments.

The Company’s operating performance is evaluated using several measures. One of those measures, EBIT, is income before interest and income taxes and is reconciled to net income on our Consolidated Statement of Income. We evaluate performance of our business segments and allocate resources based on EBIT. EBIT is not, however, a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating results. EBIT is not a measure of cash available for use by management.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of highly engineered, application-critical equipment and systems for the energy, industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical markets worldwide. With our acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (“T-3”) on January 10, 2011 (“the acquisition date”), we are expanding and complementing our energy business in our Fluid Management segment, and creating a stronger strategic platform with better scale to support future growth. We attribute our success to our close and continuing interaction with customers, our manufacturing, sourcing and application engineering expertise and our ability to serve customers globally. We have initiated restructuring programs to reduce manufacturing capacity while increasing utilization, standardizing product offerings to allow greater utilization of our lower cost manufacturing facilities, leveraging functional resources, and further integrating our business activities. We expect to continue our restructuring and streamlining efforts in certain businesses and pursue our organic and strategic growth initiatives to improve our competitiveness, financial results, long-term profitability and shareholder value.

Having mostly integrated the T-3 business in fiscal 2011, we expect to complete these efforts in fiscal 2012. Our fiscal 2012 Corporate priorities also include improving the performance of our Process Solutions Group, developing our aftermarket initiatives, expanding our capabilities in faster-growing global regions and pursuing acquisitions.

The demand for the Company’s products increased in fiscal 2011 as compared with fiscal 2010, resulting in aggregate year-over-year sales growth and improved margins. Although we continue to see strong demand across our end markets, global economic sentiment is uncertain. We are cautiously optimistic that recent market trends, primarily in our emerging markets and for certain product lines, especially serving oil and gas markets, will continue to grow in fiscal 2012.

Our Company has a Venezuelan subsidiary with net sales, operating income and total assets representing approximately one percent of our consolidated financial statement amounts in fiscal 2011 and 2010. In early January 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency. Our subsidiary operated under a rate of 4.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, as compared with the previous rate of 2.15, and our fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 year-end financial statements reflected this new rate. In addition, the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary were consolidated and reported under highly inflationary accounting rules under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, resulting in a translation loss of $2.2 million recorded in the income statement during fiscal 2010. The fiscal 2010 devaluation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in fiscal 2011.

With approximately 47% of our sales outside the United States, we can be affected by changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in non-U.S. countries in which we operate. The impact on net income, sales and orders due to foreign exchange changes was not material for fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010. Additionally, the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with related gains or losses reported as a separate component of our shareholders’ equity, except for Venezuela, which is reported following highly inflationary accounting rules under U.S. GAAP, as mentioned above. The marginal strengthening of most foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in fiscal 2011 did not materially impact our financial condition at the end of fiscal 2011 as compared with the end of fiscal 2010.

As mentioned above, on January 10, 2011, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of T-3 for a purchase price of approximately $618.4 million, which consisted of approximately $106.3 million in cash, $492.1 million as the fair value of our common shares and $20.0 million as the fair value of options and warrants issued to replace T-3 grants for pre-merger services and warrants. The operating results of T-3 are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date within our Fluid Management segment. T-3 designs, manufactures, repairs and services products used in the drilling, completion and production of new oil and gas wells, the workover of existing wells, and the production and transportation of oil and gas. Its products are used in both onshore and offshore applications throughout the world. The Company has achieved its first year integration savings; however, we caution readers that while pre- and post-acquisition comparisons as well as quantified amounts themselves may provide indications of general trends, actual cost savings and operating results due to the merger may differ from previous management estimates.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into an agreement to divest our Romaco businesses (Romaco segment) which design, manufacture and market packaging and secondary processing equipment for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic industries. This divestiture was part of the Company’s portfolio management process and operating strategy to simplify the business and improve its profit profile, and to focus on growing the Company around core competencies. The results of operations for our Romaco segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. On April 29, 2011, we completed the sale of all the shares and equity interest in our Romaco businesses for a consideration of approximately €64 million (approximately $95 million at the time of closing), which included €61 million in cash and €3 million of liabilities assumed. For fiscal 2011, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was approximately $53.6 million. The gain on disposal included the realization of amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss of $13.8 million. For tax purposes, the gain on disposal of the Romaco segment was minimal. (See Note 4 in Item 8 of this Report).

With the sale of our Romaco segment, our business consists of two market focused segments: Fluid Management, which includes T-3, and Process Solutions.

Fluid Management. Order levels from customers served by our Fluid Management segment continued to show strong year-over-year improvements in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010. Demand for our energy products and services remained robust and industrial demand improved. Our primary objectives for this segment are to increase our manufacturing capacity to meet current demand, expand our geographic reach, improve our selling and product management capabilities, commercialize new products in our niche market sectors, develop new customer relationships, and obtain further merger-related cost savings and synergies. Our Fluid Management business segment, which includes T-3, designs, manufactures, markets, repairs and services equipment and systems including hydraulic drilling power sections, blow-out preventers (“BOPs”), pressure control systems, wellhead equipment, frac manifolds and trees, high pressure engineered gate valves, down-hole and industrial progressing cavity pumps and related products such as grinders for applications involving the flow of viscous, abrasive and solid-laden slurries and sludge, standard and customized fluid-agitation equipment and systems, and a broad line of ancillary equipment for the energy sector, such as rod guides, rod and tubing rotators, pipeline closure products and valves. These products are used in oil and gas exploration and recovery, specialty chemical, wastewater treatment and a variety of other industrial applications.

Process Solutions. Our Process Solutions segment orders improved in fiscal 2011 over fiscal 2010, achieving the highest levels since fiscal 2008. However, pricing has not fully recovered for European chemical market capital goods. Our primary objectives are to reduce operating costs in developed regions, increase manufacturing capabilities in low cost areas and increase aftermarket opportunities. Our Process Solutions business segment designs, manufactures and services glass-lined reactors and storage vessels, customized equipment, systems and fluoropolymer-lined fittings, vessels and accessories, primarily for the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical markets.

The comparability of the operating results has been impacted by restructuring costs in fiscal 2011 and 2010, as well as merger-related costs in fiscal 2011. See Note 6 - Statement of Income Information in Item 8 of this Report for further discussion. In addition, the comparability of the segment data is impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, due to the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated subsidiary results into U.S. dollars, acquisition of T-3 (included in our Fluid Management segment) on January 10, 2011, as well as general economic conditions in the end markets we serve.

Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2011 Compared with Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2010

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for fiscal 2011 were $820.6 million, or $342.4 million higher than fiscal 2010 net sales, an increase of 72%. Excluding the impact of currency translation and the T-3 acquisition, net sales increased by $152.4 million, or 32%, due to higher sales in both of our segments in fiscal 2011.

The Fluid Management segment, which includes T-3 results since January 10, 2011, had sales of $607.5 million in fiscal 2011 compared with $308.5 million in fiscal 2010. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation and T-3 acquisition, sales in fiscal 2011 increased $114.5 million, or 37%. The increase was primarily in our energy markets, due to strong growth in horizontal rigs, as exploration and production companies invested to capture oil and gas from shale formations in North America. Orders for this segment were $648.5 million in fiscal 2011 compared with $332.6 million in fiscal 2010. Excluding currency and acquisition impacts, orders in fiscal 2011 grew $94.2 million, or 28%, due to strong market conditions. Ending

backlog at August 31, 2011, including T-3 backlog of $91.3 million, was $153.2 million compared with $58.1 million at August 31, 2010.

The Process Solutions segment had sales of $213.2 million in fiscal 2011 compared with $169.7 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $43.5 million, or 26%. Excluding currency impact, sales in fiscal 2011 increased $37.9 million, or 22%, from the prior year, due to improving demand for capital goods in global chemical markets. Segment orders in fiscal 2011 continued to improve from fiscal 2010 and were $227.7 million, compared with $189.3 million in fiscal 2010. Excluding currency impact, orders increased $34.0 million, or 18%, in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010, reflecting improved demand in certain end markets outside Europe. Ending backlog at August 31, 2011 was $97.8 million compared with $78.7 million at August 31, 2010.

Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)

Consolidated EBIT from continuing operations for fiscal 2011 was $131.3 million compared with $46.9 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $84.4 million. Excluding the impacts of currency translation and acquisition, consolidated EBIT in fiscal 2011 increased by $67.2 million. This increase in consolidated EBIT, despite higher costs associated with the T-3 acquisition of $25.6 million, was mainly attributable to the higher sales volume described above in all our business platforms and a favorable sales mix in our Fluid Management segment. We also experienced $1.8 million of lower restructuring charges in our Process Solutions segment in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010.

The Fluid Management segment had EBIT of $154.3 million in fiscal 2011 compared with $75.3 million in fiscal 2010. Excluding currency and acquisition impacts, EBIT for fiscal 2011 increased by $61.4 million, or 82%, due principally to the sales increase and a favorable product mix.

The Process Solutions segment had EBIT of $3.5 million in fiscal 2011 compared with a loss of $8.7 million in fiscal 2010. This increase in EBIT resulted from higher sales volume in fiscal 2011, as well as lower restructuring charges of $1.8 million.

Corporate costs were $6.8 million higher in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010, primarily due to $5.9 million of costs associated with professional fees and accelerated stock compensation expense related to the T-3 merger transaction.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 38.2% for fiscal 2011 compared with 35.2% in fiscal 2010. The current year effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate in fiscal 2010, primarily due to the recording of an additional valuation allowance of $7.0 million for certain deferred tax assets in our Process Solutions segment. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to certain U.S. permanent deductions and tax credits.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 from continuing operations approximated the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.

Net Income

Our net income in fiscal 2011, which includes income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $53.6 million (see Note 4 - Discontinued Operations in Item 8 of this Report), was $134.0 million compared with $33.2 million in fiscal 2010, which included net income from discontinued operations of $3.9 million. Net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2011 was $80.4 million, compared with $29.3 million in fiscal 2010. The increase in fiscal 2011 net income was primarily driven by higher sales volume and a favorable product mix, somewhat reduced by charges relating to the acquisition of T-3.

Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2010 Compared with Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2009

Net Sales

Consolidated sales from continuing operations for fiscal 2010 were $478.2 million compared with $527.3 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $49.1 million, or 9%. Excluding the impact of currency translation, sales decreased by $58.4 million, or 11% due to lower sales in both of our segments in the first six months of fiscal 2010. Sales in the second half of fiscal 2010 were higher than the comparable period of the prior year.

The Fluid Management segment had sales of $308.5 million in fiscal 2010 compared with $327.9 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $19.4 million, or 6%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, sales declined by $24.0 million, or 7%. The year over year sales decrease was primarily due to lower customer demand early in fiscal 2010 resulting from reduced levels of oil and gas exploration and recovery activity in that period. There was higher activity in the second half of fiscal 2010 over the same period in the prior year which was driven by higher oil prices worldwide, a higher level of demand for horizontal drilling rigs used in North American shale formations and higher general industrial activity. Orders for this segment were impacted by the same factors and were $332.6 million in fiscal 2010 compared with $274.7 million in fiscal 2009. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, orders grew $52.6 million in fiscal 2010 over fiscal 2009. Ending backlog of $58.1 million was 66% higher than at the end of the prior year.

The Process Solutions segment had sales of $169.7 million in fiscal 2010 compared with $199.4 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $29.7 million, or 15%. Excluding the impact of currency translation, sales decreased by $34.4 million, or 17% from 2009 results which benefited from significant backlog at the beginning of the fiscal year. Orders in fiscal 2010, however, improved from the latter half of fiscal 2009 to $189.3 million due to improved market conditions. Excluding foreign currency impact, orders increased by $8.9 million, or 5% over prior year. Demand in our Western chemical markets was weak, while demand in our Asian market was favorable. Ending backlog of $78.7 million was 32% higher than at the end of prior year.

Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)

Consolidated EBIT from continuing operations for fiscal 2010 was $46.9 million compared with $72.1 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $25.2 million. Results for fiscal 2010 included other expense of $2.8 million related to restructuring costs in our Process Solutions segment. Excluding the impacts of other expense and currency, consolidated EBIT decreased $27.0 million mainly due to lower sales volume described above in both of our segments, a $2.2 million highly inflationary currency loss related to our Venezuelan operations, European pricing pressures in our Process Solutions segment and higher corporate costs related to strategic and legal matters. Consistent with the sales variances described above, the unfavorable variances related primarily to the first six months of the fiscal year.

The Fluid Management segment EBIT for fiscal 2010 was $75.3 million, compared with $80.0 million in fiscal 2009. Excluding the currency rate impact, EBIT decreased $5.4 million or 7% due primarily to the sales decrease described above and the Venezuelan highly inflationary currency loss, offset by an insurance recovery of $0.8 million, an asset sale gain of $0.6 million and favorable product mix.

The Process Solutions segment had an EBIT loss of $8.7 million in fiscal 2010, compared with EBIT of $8.6 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $17.3 million. Excluding the impact of currency translation, EBIT declined $18.0 million. This decrease is due principally to lower sales, restructuring costs of $2.8 million and European pricing pressures in fiscal 2010.

Corporate costs were $3.2 million higher in fiscal 2010 over the prior year mainly due to costs associated with strategic and legal matters.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 35.2% in fiscal 2010 and 23.7% in fiscal 2009. The fiscal 2010 effective tax rate for continuing operations approximated the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. The fiscal 2009 effective tax rate for our continuing operations was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to a non-recurring tax planning gain and finalizing earlier tax estimates.

Net Income

Our net income in fiscal 2010, which included net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.9 million, was $33.2 million compared with $55.4 million in fiscal 2009, which included net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $1.9 million. The decrease in net income in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009 was a result of lower sales, pricing pressures in certain product lines, higher costs related to restructuring, legal and strategic matters and a higher tax rate, partly offset by cost reduction initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

In fiscal 2011, our cash inflow from operating activities was $101.0 million, compared with $88.5 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $12.5 million. This increase was caused by higher net income, somewhat reduced by higher working capital needs in fiscal 2011 to support our sales and profit growth, payments for restructuring costs accrued at the end of fiscal 2010, increased funding for U.S. pension plans, and payments related to accruals in the opening balance sheet of T-3. Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due to working capital needs and the timing of payments for items such as income taxes, restructuring activities, pension funding and other items.

We expect our available cash, fiscal 2012 operating cash flow and availability under our credit agreement to be adequate to fund fiscal year 2012 operating needs, shareholder dividends, capital expenditures, and additional share repurchases, if any.

Investing Activities

In fiscal 2011, the Company continued to generate substantial cash from operating activities, which resulted in a strong year end financial position, with resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses and acquisitions.

Our net cash outflows relating to investing activities for fiscal 2011 of $29.5 million included $90.4 million of cash used for the T-3 acquisition, net of cash acquired; cash proceeds from sale of our Romaco businesses of $89.2 million and $28.3 million of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2011 were $17.7 million higher than in fiscal 2010 and were primarily related to our cost reduction and sales growth initiatives.

In fiscal 2010, our net cash outflows from investing activities of $8.1 million consisted of capital expenditures of approximately $10.6 million and asset sale proceeds of $2.5 million related to the sale of certain of our assets at two of our business units.

In fiscal 2009, our net cash outflows from investing activities of $20.0 million consisted of capital expenditures of approximately $17.7 million and the purchase of the remaining 24 percent noncontrolling interest in our Process Solutions Group Chinese subsidiary for $2.3 million, which we funded from available cash balances.

The Company expects fiscal 2012 capital spending to be substantially higher than in fiscal 2011 in order to support expected growth, depending on business conditions and the success of certain customer initiatives.

Financing Activities

Our cash inflows from financing activities for fiscal 2011 were $10.5 million. Proceeds from the sale of common stock were $22.4 million in fiscal 2011 and were primarily due to exercise of stock options and related tax benefits. Dividends paid during fiscal 2011 were $7.6 million, or $2.1 million higher than fiscal 2010, primarily due to additional shares issued in January 2011 related to our T-3 merger. The quarterly dividend rate per common share was increased in January 2011 from $0.0425 to $0.0450.

From available cash balances, we repaid the remaining $30.0 million of Senior Notes on the May 3, 2010 maturity date.

On October 27, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3.0 million of our currently outstanding common shares. We acquired approximately 2.0 million of our outstanding common shares for $39.1 million under the repurchase program in fiscal 2009. There were no such share repurchases in fiscal 2011 and 2010.

Subsequent to year end, on October 6, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized to repurchase up to 3.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares, in addition to the approximately 1.0 million currently available for repurchase under the October 2008 authorization by the Board of Directors. Repurchases will generally be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions that will not exceed prevailing market prices, subject to regulatory considerations and market conditions. Repurchases will be funded from the Company’s available cash and credit facilities.

Credit Agreement

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a new Bank Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement replaces our previous Bank Credit Agreement which would have expired in December 2011.

The Agreement provides that we may borrow, for the five-year term of the Agreement, on a revolving credit basis up to a maximum of $150.0 million at any one time. In addition, under the terms of the Agreement, we are entitled, on up to six occasions prior to the maturity of the loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to increase the aggregate commitments under the Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the Agreement are due and payable on March 16, 2016. Interest is variable based upon formulas tied to a Eurocurrency rate or an alternative base rate defined in the Agreement, at our option. Borrowings, which may also be used for general corporate purposes, are unsecured, but are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. While no amounts are outstanding under the Agreement at August 31, 2011, we have $28.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding at August 31, 2011. These standby letters of credit are used as security for advance payments received from customers and for future payments to our vendors. Accordingly, under the Agreement, we have $121.5 million of unused borrowing capacity.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, default provisions and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, asset sales, mergers and other fundamental changes involving the Company, permitted investments, sales and lease backs, cash dividends and share repurchases, and financial covenants relating to interest coverage and leverage. As of August 31, 2011, we are in compliance with these covenants.

Segments

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reorganized its management structure resulting in a realignment of its operating segments. As a result, the Company’s operating segments will be Energy Services, which includes the R&M Energy and T-3 product lines, and Process and Flow Control, which includes principally the Moyno Industrial, Chemineer and Pfaudler product lines.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes. The more critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue at the time of title passage to our customer which is generally upon shipment of the product. We recognize revenue for certain longer-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion method requires estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. We follow this method because we can make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and cost applicable to various stages of a contract. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that gave rise to the revision become known.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Significant estimates made by us include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, warranty, litigation, product liability, tax contingencies, stock option valuation, goodwill valuation and retirement benefit obligations.

Our estimate for uncollectible accounts receivable is based upon an analysis of our prior collection experience, specific customer creditworthiness, current economic trends within the industries we serve, specific customers’ ability to pay us and the length of time that the receivables are past due.

Inventory valuation reserves are determined based on our assessment of the demand for our products and the on-hand quantities of inventory in relation to historical usage. The inventory to which this reserve relates is still on-hand and will be sold or disposed of in the future. The expected selling price of this inventory approximates its net

book value; therefore, there is no significant impact on gross margin when it is sold.

We have recorded valuation allowances to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized based upon our analysis of the realization of tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. Future taxable income, reversals of temporary differences, available carryback periods, the results of tax strategies and changes in tax laws could impact these estimates.

Warranty obligations are contingent upon product failure rates, material required for the repairs and service and delivery costs. We estimate the warranty accrual based on specific product failures that are known to us plus an additional amount based on the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. We record litigation and product liability reserves based upon a case-by-case analysis of the facts, circumstances and estimated costs.

Estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and are based on the best available information at the time we prepare our consolidated financial statements. These estimates are subject to change as conditions within and beyond our control change, including but not limited to economic conditions, the availability of additional information and actual experience rates different from those used in our estimates. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Acquisition and Disposition

On January 10, 2011 (“the acquisition date”), we completed our acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (“T-3”), such that T-3 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc. The operating results of T-3 are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date within our Fluid Management segment. See Note 3 - Acquisition in Item 8 of this Report. The merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, we made an allocation of the purchase price at the acquisition date based upon our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities obtained during our due diligence process and through other sources, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals. Additionally, as required by ASC 805, all integration-related costs, including professional fees and severance, were expensed as incurred.

In fiscal 2011, we completed the sale of all the shares and equity interest in our Romaco businesses (Romaco segment). The results of our Romaco segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations in Item 8 of this Report.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested on an annual basis, or more frequently as impairment indicators arise. Impairment tests, which involve the use of estimates related to the fair market values of the business operations with which goodwill is associated at our reporting unit level, were performed at year-end for fiscal 2011 (our annual impairment test date) using both a market approach, as well as a discounted cash flow methodology (“income approach”). The market approach determines the value of a reporting unit by deriving market multiples for reporting units based on assumptions potential market participants would use in establishing a bid price for the unit. This approach therefore assumes strategic initiatives will result in improvements in operational performance in the event of purchase, and includes the application of a discount rate based on market participant assumptions with respect to capital structure and access to capital markets. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current and future market conditions. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. Our final estimate of fair value of reporting units is developed by a combination of the fair values determined through both the market and income approaches. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Although our market participant assumptions and cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the market environment and plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses, there is significant judgment in applying these assumptions to our valuations. The impairment testing performed by the Company at August 31, 2011 indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount, and, as such, no impairment existed.

Our definite-lived intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight line basis, with estimated useful lives ranging from under a year to 20 years. These assets are evaluated periodically and when events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount. When events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of these definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting gross profit and cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair values of these assets including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use.

Losses, if any, resulting from impairment tests for goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets would be reflected in income before interest and income taxes in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Foreign Currency Accounting

Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of a transaction in a currency different from that used to record the transaction are charged or credited to net income when incurred. Adjustments resulting from the translation of non-U.S. dollar functional currency denominated financial statements into U.S. dollars are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (except Venezuela, which was reported under highly inflationary accounting rules since our second quarter of fiscal 2010-see below).

Our Company has a Venezuelan subsidiary with net sales, operating income and total assets representing approximately one percent of our consolidated financial statement amounts for fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011. In early January 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency. Our subsidiary operated under a rate of 4.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, as compared with the previous rate of 2.15, and our fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 year-end financial statements reflected this new rate. In addition, the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary were consolidated and reported under highly inflationary accounting rules under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, with all gains or losses from remeasurement reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Income since the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

We use permanently invested intercompany loans as a source of capital to reduce the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in our foreign subsidiaries. These loans are treated as analogous to equity for accounting purposes. Therefore, we record foreign exchange gains or losses on these intercompany loans in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Pensions

We maintain defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans that provide retirement benefits to substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees. Pension expense for fiscal 2011 and beyond is dependent on a number of factors including returns on plan assets and changes in plan discount rates and therefore cannot be predicted with certainty.

A significant factor in determining the amount of expense recorded for a funded pension plan is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. We develop the long-term rate of return assumption based on the current mix of equity and debt securities included in plan assets and on the historical returns on those types of investments, judgmentally adjusted to reflect current expectations of future returns. At August 31, 2011, the weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets was 7.2%.

In addition to the expected rate of return on plan assets, recorded pension expense includes the effects of service cost – the actuarial cost of benefits earned during a period – and interest on the plan’s liabilities to participants. These amounts are determined actuarially based on current discount rates and assumptions regarding matters such as future salary increases and mortality. Differences in actual experience in relation to these assumptions are generally not recognized immediately but rather are deferred together with asset-related gains or losses. When cumulative asset-related and liability-related gains or losses exceed the greater of 10% of total liabilities or the calculated value of plan assets, the excess is amortized and included in pension income or expense. At August 31, 2011, the weighted average discount rate used to value plan liabilities was 5.0%. We determine our discount rate based on an actuarial yield curve applied to the payments we expect to make out of our defined benefit plans.

The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications based on current rates and trends when appropriate. Additional changes in the key assumptions discussed above would affect the

amount of pension expense currently expected to be recorded for years subsequent to fiscal 2011. Specifically, a one-half percent decrease in the rate of return on assets assumption would have the effect of increasing pension expense by approximately $0.4 million. A comparable increase in this assumption would have the opposite effect. In addition, a one-half percent increase in the discount rate would decrease pension expense by $0.5 million, and a comparable decrease in the discount rate would increase expense by approximately $0.6 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820, by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This ASU was effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning in our fiscal 2012. The adoption of this standard that was applicable for fiscal 2010 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the remaining adoption of this standard in fiscal 2012 for level 3 activity disclosure to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations,” that addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in this standard specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior reporting period only. This standard also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. This standard will be effective for us beginning in our fiscal 2012, depending on future acquisitions. We do not expect the pro forma disclosure requirements under this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” that amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU achieve the objectives of developing common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs and improving their understandability. Some of the requirements clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with no early adoption permitted. This standard will be effective for us beginning in our third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” that addresses the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in this standard require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either method, adjustments must be displayed for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to net income, in both net income and OCI. The standard does not change the current option for presenting components of OCI gross or net of the effect of income taxes, provided that such tax effects are presented in the statement in which OCI is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, the standard does not affect the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. This standard will be effective for us beginning in our third quarter

of fiscal 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” that gives both public and nonpublic entities the option to qualitatively determine whether they can bypass the existing two-step goodwill impairment test under ASC 350-20. Under the new standard, if an entity chooses to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that it is more likely than not (a more than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would then perform Step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20 and, if necessary, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, no further evaluation would be necessary. The decision to perform a qualitative assessment is made at the reporting unit level, and an entity with multiple units may utilize a mix of qualitative assessments and quantitative tests among its reporting units. This standard is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This standard will be effective for us beginning in our third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

Following is information regarding our long-term contractual obligations and other commitments outstanding as of August 31, 2011:


	Payments Due by Period
	Total		One year or less		Two to three years		Four to five years		After five years
Long-term contractual obligations	(In thousands)
Debt obligations	$	445	$	421	$	24	$	—	$	—
Operating leases (1)		20,734		6,500		8,691		3,843		1,700

Total contractual cash obligations	$	21,179	$	6,921	$	8,715	$	3,843	$	1,700

(1)	Operating leases consist primarily of building and equipment leases.

Unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $5,596,000, including interest and penalties, have been excluded from the table because we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments. The only other commercial commitments outstanding were standby letters of credit of $28,499,000. Of this outstanding amount, $25,264,000 is due within a year and $3,235,000 is due within two to three years.

Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In fiscal 2011, the Company divested its Romaco businesses. In connection with this divestiture, the Company has provided certain representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks and liabilities, such as claims for damages arising out of the use of products or relating to intellectual property matters, commercial disputes, environmental matters or tax matters. The Company has not included any such items in the table above because they relate to unknown conditions and the Company cannot estimate the likelihood or the amount of potential liabilities from such matters. The Company does not believe that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We maintain operations in the U.S. and foreign countries. We have market risk exposure to foreign exchange rates in the normal course of our business operations. Our significant non-U.S. operations have their local currencies as their functional currency and primarily buy and sell using that same currency. The Company also operates in Venezuela, whose currency in 2010 became highly inflationary, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, causing us to utilize the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Sales, operating income and total assets in Venezuela represent approximately 1% of our consolidated financial statement amounts. We manage our exposure to net assets and cash flows in currencies other than U.S. dollars by minimizing our non-U.S. dollar net asset positions. Under certain conditions, we may enter into hedging transactions, primarily currency swaps, under established policies and guidelines that enable us to mitigate the potential adverse impact of foreign exchange rate risk. We do not engage in trading or other speculative activities with these transactions as established policies require that these hedging transactions relate to specific currency exposures. We currently do not have any such hedging transactions in place.

Our main foreign exchange rate exposures relate to assets, liabilities and cash flows denominated in British pounds, euros, Indian rupees, Chinese renminbi and Canadian dollars and the general economic exposure that fluctuations in these currencies could have on the U.S. dollar value of future non-U.S. cash flows. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on us for fiscal 2011, the net unhedged exposures in each currency were remeasured assuming a 10% decrease in foreign exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar. Using this method, our EBIT for fiscal 2011 would have decreased by $2.2 million and our cash flow from operations for fiscal 2011 would have decreased by $1.3 million. This calculation assumed that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, these changes may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales prices as competitors’ products become more or less attractive. Our sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not include any effects of potential changes in sales levels or local currency prices.

At August 31, 2011, our total debt of $0.4 million had a weighted average variable interest rate of 11.8%. The estimated fair value of our debt at August 31, 2011 approximates its carrying value due to the short period until maturity or the variable rate nature of the instruments. The following table presents the aggregate maturities and related weighted average interest rates of our debt obligations at August 31, 2011 by maturity dates:


	Non-U.S. Dollar Variable Rate
	Amount		Rate
Maturity Date	(In thousands, except percents)

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2011 and our report dated October 27, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Robbins & Myers, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Robbins & Myers, Inc. (“Company,” “R&M,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Controlling interest is determined by majority ownership interest and the absence of substantive third-party participation rights. For those consolidated subsidiaries where our ownership is less than 100%, the other shareholders’ interests are shown as Noncontrolling Interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable relate primarily to customers located in North America, Western Europe and Asia, and are concentrated in the pharmaceutical, chemical, industrial and energy markets. To reduce credit risk, we perform credit investigations prior to accepting an order and, when necessary, require letters of credit to ensure payment.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method in certain of our U.S. units and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for other U.S. and non-U.S. units. Inventory valuation reserves are determined based on our assessment of the market demand for our products and the on-hand quantities of inventory in relation to historical usage.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but has been tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently as impairment indicators arise, using a fair market value approach, at the reporting unit level. We recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Impairment tests are performed each year based on August 31 financial information. Other definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated periodically and when events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount. Losses, if any, resulting from impairment tests are reflected in income before interest and income taxes in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Amortization of other definite-lived intangible assets is generally calculated on the straight-line basis using the following lives:


Technology		15 years
Patents, trademarks and tradenames		14 to 20 years
Customer relationships		10 to 20 years
Non-compete agreements		3 to 5 years
Financing costs		3 to 5 years
Backlog		up to 1 year

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset on the straight-line method using the following lives:


Buildings		45 years
Machinery and equipment		3 to 15 years

Our normal policy is to expense repairs and improvements made to capital assets as incurred. In limited circumstances, betterments are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the new asset and any remaining value of the old asset is written off. Repairs to machinery and equipment must result in an addition to the useful life of the asset before the costs are capitalized.

Foreign Currency Accounting

Our Company has a Venezuelan subsidiary with net sales, operating income and total assets representing approximately one percent of our consolidated financial statement amounts for fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011. In early January 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency. Our subsidiary operated under a rate of 4.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, as compared with the previous rate of 2.15, and our fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 year-end financial statements reflected this new rate. In addition, the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary were consolidated and reported under highly inflationary accounting rules under U.S. GAAP beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, with all gains or losses from remeasurement reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Income since the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Acquisition and Disposition

On January 10, 2011 (“the acquisition date”), we completed our acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (“T-3”), such that T-3 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc. The operating results of T-3 are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date within our Fluid Management segment. See Note 3 - Acquisition. The merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, we made an allocation of the purchase price at the acquisition date based upon our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities obtained during our due diligence process and through other sources, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals. Additionally, as required by ASC 805, all integration-related costs, including professional fees and severance, were expensed as incurred. See Note 3 – Acquisition.

Product Warranties

Changes in our product warranty liability related to our continuing operations during the year are as follows:


	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of the fiscal year	$	5,729		$	6,536
Warranty expense		3,063			1,541
Warranty accrual related to T-3 acquisition		370			—
Deductions/payments		(2,389	)		(2,333	)
Impact of exchange rate changes		80			(15	)

Balance at end of the fiscal year	$	6,853		$	5,729

Consolidated Statement of Income

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $5,932,000, $4,844,000 and $4,966,000, respectively. These amounts do not include significant engineering development costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling custom customer orders and executing customer projects. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue at the time of title passage to our customer which is generally upon shipment of the product. We recognize revenue for certain longer-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion method requires estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. We follow this method since we can make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and cost applicable to various stages of the contract. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that gave rise to the revision become known.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for all items included in the Consolidated Statement of Income regardless of the period when such items are reported for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We record valuation allowances to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized based upon our analysis of the realization of tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. Future taxable income, reversals of temporary differences, available carryback periods, the results of tax strategies and changes in tax laws could impact these estimates.

Generally, our policy is to provide U.S. income taxes on non-U.S. income when remitted to the U.S. We have not provided deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because the earnings are deemed permanently reinvested. Accordingly, the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, (now known as ASC 740-30) exception will apply to the international subsidiaries accumulated earnings and profits, which aggregated $67,287,000 and $47,782,000 at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and the related accruals and deferred tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally, our tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates resulting in a final tax outcome that may be materially different from that which is reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by us in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents - The amounts reported approximate fair value.

Long-term debt - The fair value of our debt was $445,000 and $226,000 at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts are based on the terms, interest rates and maturities currently available to us for similar debt instruments.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses - The amounts reported approximate fair value.

Common Stock Plans

We sponsor a long-term incentive stock plan to provide for the granting of stock-based compensation to certain officers and other key employees. Under the plan, stock option prices per share may not be less than the fair market value per share as of the date of grant. Outstanding grants generally become exercisable over a three to four year period. Replacement grants issued related to the T-3 merger were vested on the acquisition date per the terms of the merger agreement.

The fair value of each stock option grant in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. The table below includes replacement options issued in connection with the T-3 merger.


	2011			2010			2009
Expected volatility of common stock		49.39	%		45.60	%		38.90	%
Risk free interest rate		2.62			3.25			2.00
Dividend yield		0.41			0.70			0.90
Expected life of option		3.7 Yrs.			7.0 Yrs.			7.0 Yrs.
Fair value at grant date	$	22.19		$	10.66		$	8.43

Assumptions utilized in the model are evaluated when awards are granted. The expected volatility of our common shares is estimated based upon the historical volatility of our common share price. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security yields at the time of the grant for a security with a maturity term equal to or approximating the expected term of the underlying award. The dividend yield is determined by using a blend of historical dividend yield information and expected future trends. The expected life of the option grants represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the contractual term of the grant, vesting schedule and past exercise behavior. We have elected to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

New Accounting Pronouncements

impairment test under ASC 350-20. Under the new standard, if an entity chooses to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that it is more likely than not (a more than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would then perform Step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20 and, if necessary, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, no further evaluation would be necessary. The decision to perform a qualitative assessment is made at the reporting unit level, and an entity with multiple units may utilize a mix of qualitative assessments and quantitative tests among its reporting units. This standard is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This standard will be effective for us beginning in our third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on our consolidated net income or financial position.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION

On January 10, 2011, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of T-3. T-3 designs, manufactures, repairs and services products used in the drilling, completion and production of new oil and gas wells, the workover of existing wells, and the production and transportation of oil and gas. Its products are used in both onshore and offshore applications throughout the world. We believe the acquisition will significantly expand and complement our energy business within our Fluid Management segment and create a stronger strategic platform with better scale to support our future growth.

The purchase price for acquiring all of the outstanding common stock of T-3 was approximately $618.4 million, which consisted of approximately $106.3 million in cash, $492.1 million as the fair value of our common shares and $20.0 million as the fair value of options and warrants issued to replace T-3 grants for pre-merger services and warrants, based on the weighted average Black-Scholes valuation of $20.41 per R&M share. The fair value of R&M common shares issued of $41.18 per common share was based on the closing price of R&M shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on January 7, 2011 (opening price on January 10, 2011). We funded the cash portion of the purchase price from our available cash on hand. Transaction expenses were funded with available cash of the Company. We issued approximately 12.0 million shares as part of the purchase price to T-3 stockholders. T-3 had annual revenues of approximately $206.7 million (unaudited) for its last completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

We have finalized third party valuations of certain non-monetary tangible assets, intangible assets and contingencies. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):


Cash	$	15,863
Accounts receivable		41,618
Inventories		60,740
Other current assets		13,257
Property, plant and equipment, net		54,392
Other long-term assets		12,296
Intangible assets		214,120

Total identifiable assets acquired excluding goodwill		412,286
Current liabilities		45,287
Long-term liabilities		78,980

Total liabilities assumed		124,267

Net identifiable assets acquired excluding goodwill		288,019
Goodwill		330,377

Net assets acquired	$	618,396

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $330.4 million in goodwill (approximately $25.0 million of which is deductible for tax purposes) and $214.1 million of definite-lived intangible assets with no residual value, including $156.5 million of customer relationships, $17.8 million of trademarks and trade names, $32.6 million of technology and $7.2 million of backlog. The amounts assigned to customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, technology and backlog are amortized over the estimated useful life of 10-20 years, 20 years, 15 years and up to 1 year, respectively. The weighted average life over which these acquired intangibles will be amortized is approximately 18 years. Goodwill recognized from the acquisition primarily relates to the expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce, which are not separable from goodwill. The total purchase price adjustment to goodwill since the acquisition date was approximately $11.4 million and related primarily to intangible assets and deferred taxes.

Net customer sales and EBIT of T-3 included in our operating results in fiscal 2011 from the acquisition date were $179.0 million and $15.9 million, respectively. In fiscal 2011, the Company incurred merger-related costs of $7.2 million for amortization of intangible assets related to customer backlog at the time of acquisition, $3.0 million related to severance costs, $5.9 million related to professional fees and accelerated stock compensation expense (included in “Other expense” line in our consolidated condensed statement of income) and $9.5 million related to the inventory write-up values in cost of sales (included in the “Cost of sales” line in our consolidated statement of income). No further costs relating to backlog or the write-up of inventory will be incurred.

The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each respective fiscal year. These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of T-3 to reflect the additional cost of sales, depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to inventory, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied as at the beginning of each respective year, together with the consequential tax effects, as applicable. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time or that may result in the future:

Each fiscal year pro forma period reflects the expense due to the inventory write-up values and amortization of backlog of $16.7 million ($10.8 million after tax and $0.24 per share based on the Company’s marginal tax rate) which had lives of three months or less. Therefore, these assets were fully amortized in the first three months of each respective year.

NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into an agreement to divest our Romaco businesses (Romaco segment) which design, manufacture and market packaging and secondary processing equipment for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic industries. This divestiture was part of the Company’s portfolio management process and operating strategy to simplify the business and improve profit profile, and to focus on growing the Company around core competencies. On April 29, 2011, we completed the sale of all the shares and equity interest in our Romaco businesses for a consideration of approximately €64 million (approximately $95 million at the time of closing), which included €61 million in cash and €3 million of liabilities assumed. In fiscal 2011, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was approximately $53.6 million. The gain on disposal included the realization of amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss of $13.8 million, which includes $16.2 million related to realized foreign currency gain and $2.4 million realized loss related to pension liability, net of tax. For tax purposes, the gain on disposal of the Romaco segment was minimal. The results of operations for our Romaco segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are summarized as follows:

In connection with this divestiture, the Company has provided certain representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks and liabilities, such as claims for damages arising out of the use of products or relating to intellectual property matters, commercial disputes, environmental matters or tax matters. The Company has not included any such items in the table above because they relate to unknown conditions and the Company cannot estimate the likelihood or the amount of potential liabilities from such matters. The Company does not believe that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair values and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A summary of certain financial assets that are carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):


	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
August 31, 2011:
Cash and cash equivalents (1)	$	230,606		—		—

August 31, 2010:
Cash and cash equivalents (1)	$	149,213		—		—

(1)	Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash in banks, commercial paper and overnight investments in highly rated financial institutions.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). At August 31, 2011, no fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt instruments equal their carrying value due to the short period until maturity or the variable rate nature of the instruments.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company made certain changes to its business segments effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This resulted in a $45.0 million reclassification of goodwill from the Process Solutions segment to the Fluid Management segment. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for our continuing operations by operating segment are as follows:


	Process Solutions Segment			Fluid Management Segment			Total

In late fiscal 2011, the Company finalized the valuations of intangibles related to our T-3 acquisition. As a result, we recorded approximately $214.1 million of purchased intangible assets. The weighted average life over which our intangible assets will be amortized is approximately 18 years. The amortization expense for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was $15.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. We estimate that the amortization expense will be approximately $11.7 million for each of the next five years beginning fiscal 2012. The expected amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts of amortization expense may differ from the estimated amounts due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, impairment of intangible assets, intangible asset additions, accelerated amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture activities and other factors.

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT BENEFITS

We sponsor two defined contribution plans covering most U.S. salaried employees and certain U.S. hourly employees. Contributions are made to the plans based on a percentage of eligible amounts contributed by participating employees. We also sponsor several defined benefit plans covering certain employees. Benefits are based on years of service and employees’ compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. Our funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of applicable regulations.

We entered into a new labor agreement at one of our U.S. facilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result, we incurred curtailment expense of approximately $1.2 million in fiscal 2011. Curtailment of the pension plan is expected to reduce pension costs in future years.

In addition to pension benefits, we provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain of our retired U.S. employees. Our policy is to fund the cost of these benefits as claims are paid.

Pension and other post-retirement plan costs are as follows:

Fiscal 2011 defined contribution cost includes approximately $420,000 related to T-3.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for our defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost during fiscal 2012 are $3,017,000 and $170,000, respectively.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for our other post-retirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost during fiscal 2012 are $586,000 and $205,000, respectively.

The weighted allocations of pension plan assets at August 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table.

Equity securities		64	%		63	%
Debt securities		34			35
Cash and cash equivalents		2			2

		100	%		100	%

At August 31, 2011, our target allocation percentages for plan assets were approximately 65% equity securities and 35% debt securities. The targets may be adjusted periodically to reflect current market conditions and trends as well as inflation levels, interest rates and the trend thereof, and economic and monetary policy. The objectives underlying this allocation are to achieve a long-term rate of return of 5.75% above inflation and to manage the plan assets so that they are sufficient to meet the plans’ future obligations while maintaining adequate liquidity to meet current benefit payments and operating expenses. The actual amount for which these obligations will be settled depends on future events, including life expectancy of plan participants and salary inflation. Equity securities can include, but are not limited to, broadly diversified international and domestic equities. At August 31, 2011 and 2010, pension assets included 100,000 and 160,000 shares of our common shares, respectively. Debt securities include, but are not limited to, international and domestic direct bond investments. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated against specific benchmarks.

We will use a weighted average long-term rate of return of approximately 7.2% in fiscal 2012. Expected rates of return are developed based on the target allocation of debt and equity securities and on the historical returns on these types of investments judgmentally adjusted to reflect current expectations based on historical experience of the plan’s investment managers. In evaluating future returns on equity securities, the existing portfolio is stratified to separately consider large and small capitalization investments as well as international and other types of securities.

We expect to make future benefits payments from our benefit plans as follows:

2016		11,300		1,900
2017-2021		54,300		10,000

The Company intends to make such contributions as are required to maintain the plan assets on a sound actuarial basis, in such amounts and at such times as determined by the Company in accordance with the

funding policy established by management and consistent with plans’ objectives. The Company anticipates contributing $7,200,000 to its pension benefit plans in fiscal 2012.

The actuarial weighted average assumptions used to determine plan liabilities at August 31, are as follows:


	Pension Benefits						Other Benefits
	2011			2010			2011			2010

The actuarial weighted average assumptions used to determine plan costs are as follows (measurement date September 1):


	Pension Benefits						Other Benefits
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Discount rate		4.70	%		5.60	%		4.50	%		5.75	%

Pursuant to the adoption of a new FASB accounting standard in fiscal 2010, the Company is required to categorize pension plan assets based on the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets.

•

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset through corroboration with observable market data.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the bases used to measure financial assets of the pension plans at their fair market value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2011:

The tax credit carryforwards, which primarily relate to foreign tax credits, begin to expire in fiscal 2016. The primary components of the net operating loss carryforwards exist in the U.S. ($9,427,000), Germany ($27,797,000 for income tax and $28,730,000 for trade tax), Italy ($4,203,000), Venezuela ($6,025,000) and the Netherlands ($17,142,000). There are no expiration dates on the net operating loss carryforwards in Germany. The net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. begin to expire in fiscal 2021 and in Italy, the Netherlands and Venezuela begin to expire in fiscal 2012. These expiration dates, as well as our ability to generate future taxable income to utilize these carryforwards, have been considered in determining our valuation allowances. During fiscal 2012 tax planning strategies of certain non-U.S. entities were no longer available and a full valuation allowance was recognized on the deferred tax assets of those entities.

The impact of change in valuation allowances on non-U.S. losses primarily relate to certain of our entities in Germany, Italy and Venezuela.

A reconciliation of the change in unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:


	2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Balance at beginning of the year	$	3,571		$	5,277
Increase related to T-3 acquisition		725			—
Increases for current year tax positions		377			344
Decreases related to settlements		—			(1,636	)
Decreases related to statute lapses		(105	)		(507	)
Increases related to exchange rate changes		70			93

Balance at end of the year	$	4,638		$	3,571

All of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at August 31, 2011 of $5,596,000 including interest and penalties, would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at August 31, 2010 was $4,241,000, including interest and penalties.

To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense in the financial statements. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the related tax liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company made no payments of interest and penalties in fiscal 2011, and as of August 31, 2011, has recognized a liability for interest and penalties of $958,000, including T-3’s interest and penalties of $178,000. The Company had recognized a liability for interest and penalties of $670,000 at August 31, 2010.

The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions where it operates, including in the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The Company is open to examination in the United States from the tax year ended 2009 to present and 2008 to 2011 for the acquired T-3 entity. The Company’s non-U.S. locations are open to examination as far back as tax years ended 2004 to present.

NOTE 12 - COMMON STOCK

We sponsor a long-term incentive stock plan to provide for the granting of stock-based compensation to certain officers and other key employees. Under the plan, stock option prices per share may not be less than the fair market value per share as of the date of grant. Outstanding grants generally become exercisable over a 3 to 4 year period and have a 10 year contractual term. Proceeds from the sale of stock issued under option arrangements are credited to common stock. In addition, we sponsor a stock compensation plan for non-employee directors.

As part of the merger consideration, in fiscal 2011, we issued approximately 1.0 million fully vested stock options to replace T-3 grants for pre-merger services. These options retained their respective original pre-merger options’ contractual term.

Summaries of amounts issued under the stock option plans are presented in the following tables.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $22,306,000, $52,800 and $398,000, respectively.

Under our 2009, 2010 and 2011 long-term incentive stock plans, each a subplan under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan As Amended, selected participants were granted target performance share awards. The ultimate performance shares earned under the plans range from 0% to 200% of the target award based on earnings per share and return on net assets. Under these subplans, performance shares are earned at the end of one year but are only issued as common shares to the participant if the participant continues in our employment for two more years.

For the performance period ended August 31, 2011, a value of $1,698,000 performance shares were earned ($927,000 and $1,501,000 in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively).

As of August 31, 2011 we had $3,671,000 of compensation expense not yet recognized related to nonvested stock awards. The weighted-average period that this compensation cost will be recognized is 2.4 years.

Total after tax compensation expense included in net income for all stock based awards was $2,644,000, $1,882,000 and $2,146,000 for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fiscal 2011 stock compensation expense includes $2,030,000 of expense which resulted from accelerated vesting of certain stock awards upon the acquisition of T-3 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, pursuant to the terms of those awards.

NOTE 13 - SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On October 27, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3.0 million of our currently outstanding common shares (the “Program”). Repurchases under the Program have and will generally be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions not exceeding prevailing market prices, subject to regulatory considerations and market conditions, and have and will be funded from the Company’s available cash and credit facilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we acquired approximately 2.0 million of our outstanding common shares for $39.1 million under the Program, which were accounted for as treasury shares. There were no shares repurchased under the Program in fiscal 2010 or fiscal 2011. Also see Note 16—Subsequent Events.

In connection with the acquisition of T-3 on January 10, 2011, we issued approximately 12.0 million shares to T-3 stockholders as part of the purchase price consideration, which have been included in our computation of basic and diluted net income per share from continuing operations for fiscal 2011. In addition, as part of the merger consideration, we issued approximately 1.0 million options to replace T-3 grants for pre-merger services which have also been included in the computation above. The net income of T-3 from the acquisition date that is included in our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2011 was approximately $10.2 million, which included pre-tax expense of $19.7 million ($12.8 million after tax) related to amortization of intangible assets for opening customer backlog, expense due to inventory write-up values and severance costs.

NOTE 15 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Fluid Management. Our Fluid Management business segment, which includes T-3, designs, manufactures, markets, repairs and services equipment and systems used in oil and gas exploration and recovery, specialty chemical, wastewater treatment and a variety of other industrial applications.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on income before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”), a non-GAAP measure. Identifiable assets by business segment include all assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist mostly of cash and deferred tax assets. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that we account for certain U.S. inventory on a FIFO basis at the segment level compared with a LIFO basis at the consolidated level.

The following tables present information about our reportable business segments. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company realigned its business segment reporting structure as a result of organizational, management and operational changes. Our Chemineer brand is included in our Fluid Management segment, instead of the Process Solutions segment where it was previously reported. The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of this change for all periods presented. Inter-segment sales were not material and were eliminated at the consolidated level.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (Disclosure Controls) as of August 31, 2011. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2011.

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report which is set forth below.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

•

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

•

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2011, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2011. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP has issued an attestation report, which is included at Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
