Note
1. Interim
Financial Statements
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. (the “Company”) have
not been audited, except that the balance sheet at December 31, 2005 is derived
from the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements. In the opinion of
the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s financial position at March
31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation
of
the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. As used
in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “NN”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”,
or “us” mean NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited, condensed,
consolidated and unaudited, consolidated financial statements should be read
in
conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 16, 2006.

5. Recent Investing Activity
Our
wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NN Precision Bearing Products Company,
LTD,
(“NN Asia”) started full operations in the first quarter of 2006. The costs
incurred as a result of the start-up for the three month period ended March
31,
2005 of approximately $0.2 million were classified as selling, general and
administrative expense.
On
October 7, 2005, we entered into an agreement with SNR Roulements (“SNR”) to
purchase all of SNR’s internal precision ball producing equipment for
approximately 5,000 Euros ($6,000). As part of the agreement, we entered
into a
five year supply agreement to provide SNR with an additional $9,000 of annual
ball requirements. Approximately $2,100 was paid in 2005 and $3,900 is expected
to be paid during 2006 to complete the equipment purchase. During the first
quarter of 2006, the Company did not acquire any SNR equipment. As of March
31,
2006, $1,636 is recorded in tangible fixed assets and $484 in intangible
assets
relating to this transaction.

7. New
Accounting Pronouncements
On
December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which
requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar
awards and establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods. SFAS No. 123R is effective
for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and applies to all outstanding
and unvested share-based payment awards. This Statement requires a public entity
to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited
exception). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the
requisite service period (usually the vesting period). We adopted SFAS 123(R)
effective January 1, 2006. See Note 11 Stock Compensation.
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs”. SFAS No. 151
clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that these
items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151
requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We
adopted SFAS No. 151 effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 151 has not had a
material impact on our financial statements.

Stock Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment.”
SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”
and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25 “Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows.”
Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company followed the
disclosure-only requirements of SFAS No. 123 and continued to account for stock
compensation under the requirements of APB No. 25.
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method that
requires compensation expense of all employee and non-employee director
share-based compensation awards be recognized in the financial statements based
upon their fair value over the requisite service or vesting period for all
new
awards granted after the effective date and for all awards granted prior to
the
effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
Under the requirements of APB No. 25, the Company was required to recognize
compensation cost only for stock option awards granted at a price lower than
the
market stock price at the date of grant. Effective with adoption of SFAS No.
123(R), compensation expense related to stock option awards are recognized
in
the financial statements at the fair value of the award. The Company accounts
for restricted share awards by recognizing the fair value of the awarded stock
at the grant date as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period,
less
anticipated forfeitures.

In
accordance with implementation requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) under the
modified prospective method, the Company did not restate prior fiscal periods
and is required to continue the same disclosure only requirements of SFAS
No. 123 for comparative purposes until all periods reported are comparable
on
the same basis. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings
and
earnings per share as formerly provided under SFAS No. 123:

In
the
first quarter 2006, approximately $103 of compensation expense was recognized
in
selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. The
cost
recognized was related to the restricted stock awards. No compensation expense
was recognized related to stock options in the first quarter of 2006, as there
were not any new stock option awards and all existing stock options were fully
vested as of December 31, 2005. The impact on net income of all stock
compensation expense in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately $66, net
of
tax benefits of $37.
Stock
Option Awards
Option
awards are typically granted to non-employee directors and key employees on
an
annual basis. A single option grant is typically awarded to eligible
employees in the third quarter of each year if and when granted by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and occasional individual
grants are awarded to eligible employees throughout the year. All employee
and non-employee directors are awarded options at an exercise price equal to
the
closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The term life of
options is ten years with vesting periods of generally three years. Actual
vesting usually occurs ratably or at the end of the vesting period. The fair
value of options cannot be determined by market value as our
options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, a financial pricing
model is utilized to determine fair value. The Company utilizes the Black
Scholes model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option's fair
value. As the
Company did not grant any options in the first quarter of 2006, the assumptions
relevant to options granted in the first quarter 2005 are identified in the
table below:

The
volatility rate is derived from actual Company common stock volatility over
the
same time period as the expected term. The volatility rate is derived by
mathematical formula utilizing daily closing price data.
The
expected dividend yield is derived by mathematical formula which uses the
expected Company annual dividends over the expected term divided by the fair
market value of the Company's common stock at the grant date.
The
average risk-free interest rate is derived from United States Department
of
Treasury published interest rates of daily yield curves for the same time
period
as the expected term.
Prior
to
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimated forfeitures at a standard
5%
and recognized them as they occurred for pro forma disclosure of share-based
compensation expense. With adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the company will
estimate the forfeiture rate based on detailed statistical analysis of prior
forfeitures.

Intrinsic value is the amount by which the market price of the stock or the
market price at the exercise date underlying the option exceeds the exercise
price of the option.
At
December 31, 2005, all options were fully vested and there was no compensation
cost incurred from existing options. Cash proceeds from the exercise of options
in first quarter 2006 totaled approximately $87 with a related tax benefit
of
approximately $16. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company received $990
in
cash proceeds from the issuance of stock options. For both quarters ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, proceeds from stock options were presented net of
tax
benefits in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
No
stock
options were granted during the first quarter of 2006 and 2005. The total
intrinsic value of the options exercised during the first quarters of 2006
and
2005 were $68 and $730, respectively.
Restricted
Stock Awards
In
addition to stock option awards, the Company has restricted stock awards, the
first grant of which was in July 2005. The Company’s policy for issuing
restricted shares is similar to that described under “Stock Option Awards”. The

11. Common Stock Repurchase
During
the first quarter of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to
$10
million in common stock of the Company, during the next 18 months in the open
market or in private transactions, in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. This amount represents approximately 5% of the Company’s
outstanding stock. During March 2006, the Company repurchased 20,474 shares
at
approximately $12.00 a share for a total of $246. These shares will be retired
and were recorded as an offset to additional paid in capital.

12. Restructuring Charges
Eltmann,
Germany Restructuring
During
the fourth quarter of 2004, we announced a reduction in staffing at our Eltmann,
Germany ball production facility, a component of our NN Europe Segment. This
restructuring affected approximately 83 employees and is expected be completed
during 2006. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately
1.7
million Euros ($2.3 million) related to severance costs of approximately
$2.1
million and other related charges of approximately $0.2 million at December
31,
2004. The workforce reduction is a result of our continuing strategy of
rationalizing our global manufacturing capacity and the transfer of production
principally to our facility in Kysucke Nove Mesto, Slovakia. The charges
were
recorded in restructuring and impairment costs, a component of income from
operations in the fourth quarter of 2004.
The
following summarizes the restructuring charges related to the restructuring
at
the Company’s Eltmann, Germany facility for the twelve months ended December 31,

totaled $5.3 million or $0.30 per diluted share and includes an after-tax
gain
from the sale of excess land of $1.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share and
an
after-tax write-off of certain unused equipment of $0.7 million or $0.04
per
diluted share. This compares to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.23 per
diluted
share for the first quarter of 2005.
Revenues
in the first quarter of 2006 were down $0.7 million from the first quarter
of
2005. Increases in volume and mix of approximately $1.6 million as well as
selling price increases related to material cost pass through of approximately
$2.8 million were offset by the negative result of currency exchange of $5.1
million.
As
a
percentage of net sales, 2006 first quarter cost of products sold (exclusive
of
depreciation) was 76.7% of net sales as compared to the 2005 first quarter
cost
of products sold (exclusive of depreciation) of 78.0%. Our Level 3
initiatives made a major contribution to this improvement. In addition, price
increases from raw material inflation passed through to customers and the
positive impacts of increased sales volume reduced our percentage of cost
of
products sold (exclusive of depreciation). As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2006
was
8.9% as compared to 8.6% for the same period in 2005. This increase was mainly
due to stock compensation related expenses.
Our
reported net income of $5.3 million or $0.30 per diluted share includes a
net
gain of approximately $0.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share comprised of
an
after-tax gain from the sale of excess land located at our Pinerolo, Italy
facility of $1.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share and offsetting this gain,
the write-off of certain equipment of $0.7 million or $0.04 per diluted
share, after-tax.

Net
Sales.
Overall
sales decreased due to the effects of foreign exchange of $5.1 million partially
offset by higher selling prices from the pass through of raw material price
increases of $2.8 million and higher sales volume/mix of $1.6 million.
The
sales
decrease at the NN Europe Segment was primarily due to the effect of foreign
exchange from a stronger U.S. dollar of $5.1 million and lower volume of
$0.6 million. These reductions were partially offset by price increases from
passing through raw material inflation to customers of $1.4 million.
The
sales
increases at the Domestic Ball and Roller Segment are due primarily to higher
sales volume of $2.9 million and price increases from passing through material
inflation to customers of $0.9 million. The Domestic Ball and Roller volume
is
primarily due to additional sales to existing customers and from Schaeffler
Group (INA) ceasing their consignment inventory program ($0.7 million).
Sales
in
the Plastics and Rubber Components Segment were down primarily due to lower
volume in the rubber seal business sold into the automotive market.
Cost
of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation.)
Cost of
products sold decreased primarily due to foreign exchange effects from a
stronger U.S. dollar of $4.0 million and impacts of our level 3 program of
$1.2
million. These decreases were partially offset by increased cost of products
sold due to higher sales volume of $0.9 million and the effects of inflation
of
$2.6 million within raw material, energy, and other manufacturing costs.
The
increase in cost of products sold in the Domestic Ball and Roller Segment
was
due to the effects of increased cost of products sold due to higher sales
volume
of $2.0 million and the impact of inflation on raw materials, energy, and
supplies of $1.7 million.
The
decrease in cost of products sold at the NN Europe Segment was due to foreign
exchange effects of $4.0 million, impacts of Level 3 of $0.9 million, and
lower
cost of products sold due to lower sales volume of $0.4 million. These decreases
were offset partially by inflation of $0.9 million within raw materials and
utilities.
The
decrease in the Plastics and Rubber Components Segment is due primarily to
Level 3 and other cost saving initiatives of $1.0 million and lower sales
volume
of $0.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by raw material and
utilities inflation of $0.4 million.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses.
The
increase in selling, general and administrative cost is due primarily to
stock
compensation expense. During the first quarter of 2006, we recognized $0.1
million in expense related to restricted stock compensation. In addition,
in the
first quarter of 2005, we recognized $0.1 million in income related to
accounting for stock options under the variable method of accounting that
did
not occur in 2006 due to adoption of SFAS 123(R).
(Gain)
Loss of Disposal of Assets. In
2006,
NN Europe had a gain for sales of excess land of $1.8 million which was
partially offset by a loss on disposal of excess equipment of $1.1
million.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Amounts
outstanding under the $90.0 million credit facility and the $40.0 million
notes
as of March 31, 2006 were $19.4 million and $40.0 million, respectively.
See
Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We were in compliance
with all covenants of our $90 million syndicated credit facility with AmSouth
Bank and our $40.0 million senior notes as of March 31, 2006.
We
bill
and receive payment from some of our customers in Euros as well as other
currencies. In 2006, the fluctuation of the Euro against the dollar has
negatively impacted revenue and income and increased the value of assets
and
liabilities as the average exchange rate is lower from the first quarter
of 2005
to the first quarter of 2006 and the spot rate at March 31, 2006 was higher
than
the exchange rate at December 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, no currency
hedges
were in place. In addition, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar and/or Euro
against foreign currencies could impair our ability to compete with
international competitors for foreign as well as domestic sales.
Working
capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable and inventories
offset by accounts payable, was $49.8 million at March 31, 2006 as compared
to
$41.1 million at December 31, 2005. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities increased from 1.63:1 at December 31, 2005 to 1.76:1 at March
31,
2006. Cash flow used by operations was $3.2 million during the first three
months of 2006, compared with cash flow used by operations of $4.5 million
during the first three months of 2005. The primary reason for the improvement
in
operating cash flow from the first quarter of 2005 was the increase in net
income.
During
2006, we plan to spend approximately $18.8 million on capital expenditures
of
which $7.6 million is related primarily to equipment, process upgrades, and
replacements, approximately $8.9 million principally related to geographic
expansion of our manufacturing base, and $2.3 million related to the completion
of the SNR equipment purchase. In addition, we will pay $1.6 million for
contract intangibles related to the SNR equipment purchase. Of these
amounts approximately $1.9 million has been spent through March 31, 2006.
We
intend to finance these activities with cash generated from operations and
funds
available under the credit facilities described above. We believe that funds
generated from operations and borrowings from the credit facilities will
be
sufficient to finance our working capital needs and projected capital
expenditure requirements through December 2006.
During
the first quarter of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up
to $10
million in common stock of the Company, during the next 18 months in the
open
market or in private transactions, in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. This amount represents approximately 5% of the Company’s
outstanding stock. During March 2006, the Company repurchased 20,474 shares
at
approximately $12.00 a share for a total of approximately $0.2 million. These
shares will be retired and were recorded as on offset to Additional Paid
in
Capital.
On
March
10, 2006, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 a share.
The
dividend was paid on April 21, 2006, totaling $1.4 million.
Seasonality
and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results
Our
net
sales historically have been of a seasonal nature due to a significant portion
of our sales to European customers that cease or significantly slow production
during the month of August.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments
underlying them, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the
fiscal
year ended December 31, 2005 including those policies as discussed in Note
1.
These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects and
address such matters as revenue recognition, inventory valuation, asset
impairment recognition, business combination accounting and pension and
postretirement benefits. There can be no assurance that actual results will
not
significantly differ from the estimates used in these critical accounting
policies. The one material change during the quarter was adoption of SFAS
123(R)
related to accounting for stock compensation (see Note 11 of the financial
statements). SFAS 123(R) has had a minimal effect on the financial statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as there were no new options issued
or
amended and as outstanding options were 100% vested at December 31, 2005.
The
only impact has been the elimination of variable accounting under APB 25
and FIN
44 with the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Sales
Concentration
Schaeffler
Group (INA) has decided to in-source approximately $12 million of annual
business to their internal ball manufacturing facility in Germany. This
represents approximately 30% of the existing Schaeffler Group (INA) business.
Sales to Schaeffler Group (INA) did not decline in the first quarter of 2006.
We
are in
the process of negotiating a long term supply agreement, to replace the
agreement that expires June 30, 2006, with Schaeffler Group (INA) for remaining
business. In addition, we are in process of negotiating a new long term
agreement with SKF to replace the one for precision balls that expires July
31,
2006. SKF has informally agreed in principle to carry the current agreement
through to December 31, 2006.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
|
We
are
exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our
business due to use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting
in
various foreign currencies. To mitigate the exposure to these market risks,
we
have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our
management of financial market risks. We are exposed to changes in interest
rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. At March 31, 2006,
we
had $19.4 million outstanding under the domestic credit facilities and $40.0
million aggregate principal amount of senior notes outstanding. See Note 9
of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2006, a one-percent
increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding borrowings under our
credit facilities, that are subject to variable interest rates, would result
in
interest expense increasing annually by approximately $0.2 million.
Translation
of our operating cash flows denominated in foreign currencies is impacted by
changes in foreign exchange rates. We did not hold a position in any foreign
currency hedging instruments as of March 31, 2006.

Controls
and Procedures
|
Under
the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March
31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There
have been no changes in this fiscal quarter in our internal control over
financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Part
II. Other Information
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
On
March
20, 2006, the Company, as well as numerous other parties, received
correspondence from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting
information regarding a former waste recycling vendor previously used by
the
Company. The vendor has since ceased operations and the EPA is investigating
the
clean up of the site or sites used by the vendor. As of the date of this
report,
we do not know whether the Company has any liability related to this vendor’s
actions or estimatable range for any potential liability.
All
of
our other legal proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature and are
incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
our
business or financial condition or on the results of operations.
Item
1.A. Risk
Factors
There
has
not been any material changes in risk factors from those disclosed our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed on March 16,
2006.
