Interim Financial Statements [Abstract]

Interim Financial Statements

Note 1.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. have not been audited, except that the balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our financial position at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement 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 and 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, 2011 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2012. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2012 or any other future periods.

Due to the impacts of the global economic recession and the resulting reduction in revenue and increased operating losses, our wholly owned German subsidiary, Kugelfertigung Eltmann GbmH (“Eltmann” or “Eltmann Plant”), sustained a significant weakening of its financial condition. As a result, it became insolvent at which point it was required to file for bankruptcy under German bankruptcy law. The filing was made in the bankruptcy court in Germany on January 20, 2011. As of that date, NN lost the ability to control or manage Eltmann as a result of the bankruptcy court trustee taking over effective control and day to day management of this subsidiary. As a result of loss of control of this subsidiary, NN deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of Eltmann from our Consolidated Financial Statements effective January 20, 2011.

We were informed in early April 2011, that the bankruptcy trustee had sold the majority of the production assets of Eltmann to a non-affiliated manufacturing company. It is our understanding the remaining assets and liabilities of Eltmann will be liquidated sometime in the future by the bankruptcy court. NN does not expect any further significant impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of the liquidation of this subsidiary.

The following table summarizes the effects of the deconsolidation of Eltmann originally reported in the first quarter of 2011:


Cash	$	(979	)
Accounts receivable		(3,388	)
Inventory		(2,407	)
Other assets		(193	)
Property, plant and equipment		(1,343	)

Reduction of total assets	$	(8,310	)


Accounts payable		(1,947	)
Accrued salaries		(1,500	)
Accrued pension		(5,623	)
Accumulated other comprehensive income		551

Reduction of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity	$	(8,519	)


Gain from deconsolidation of bankrupt subsidiary	$	209

The amounts above are reflected in the comparative 2011 financial statements. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we determined it was more likely than not we would potentially owe an additional $209 in payables related to the Eltmann bankruptcy. As such, we accrued for these potential payables during the fourth quarter of 2011 and as a result have now realized a zero gain on deconsolidation.

Pensions and Other Post-Employment Liabilities [Abstract]

Pensions and Other Post-Employment Liabilities

Note 6.

Pensions and Other Post-Employment Liabilities

Effective January 20, 2011, the defined benefit pension plan covering the employees at our Eltmann Plant came under the control of the bankruptcy trustee and has been or will be taken over by the German government’s pension security fund. The plan is no longer a responsibility of NN, resulting in a reduction of Accrued pension liabilities of $5,623 on January 20, 2011. We have no remaining pension obligations. (See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Severance Indemnity

In accordance with Italian law, we have an unfunded severance plan covering our Pinerolo Plant employees under which all employees at that location are entitled to receive severance indemnities upon termination of their employment. The table below summarizes the changes to the severance indemnity, included in Other non-current liabilities, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Service and Early Retirement Provisions

We have certain plans that cover our Veenendaal Plant employees. A plan provides an award for employees who achieve 25 or 40 years of service and another plan is an award for employees upon retirement. These plans are both unfunded and the benefits are based on years of service and rate of compensation at the time the award is paid. The table below summarizes the combined changes in the plans, included in Other non-current liabilities, during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to presentation of comprehensive income. The standards update is intended to help financial statement users better understand the causes of an entity’s change in financial position and results of operation. It is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2012. Since this new guidance affected disclosure requirements only, it did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for reporting accounting changes and error corrections. It includes the conveyance of information necessary for a user of the Company's financial information to understand all aspects and required disclosure information concerning all changes and error corrections reported in the Company's financial statements for the period.

Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Debt

Note 8.

Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Debt

Long-term debt and short-term debt at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Borrowings under our $100,000 revolving credit facility bearing interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR (0.25% at June 30, 2012) plus an applicable margin of 3.00% at June 30, 2012, expiring December 21, 2014.	$	50,136	$	40,989

Borrowings under our $40,000 aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% maturing on April 26, 2014. Annual principal payments of $5,714 began on April 26, 2008 and extend through the date of maturity.		11,429		17,143

Borrowings under our $20,000 aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.64% maturing on December 20, 2018. Annual principal payments of $4,000 will begin on December 22, 2014 and extend through the date of maturity.		20,000		20,000


Total debt		81,565		78,132

Less current maturities of long-term debt		6,650		6,503


Long-term debt, excluding current maturities of long-term debt	$	74,915	$	71,629

On December 20, 2011, we borrowed an additional $20,000 in seven-year fixed rate notes from Prudential Capital at a rate of 4.64%. These notes, which mature on December 20, 2018, are interest-only for the first two years followed by five equal annual principal payments. The proceeds were used to repay existing revolving credit bank debt and to fund growth capital projects.

On September 30, 2011, we amended our $100 million revolving credit agreement agented by KeyBank and our long-term loan agreement with Prudential Capital in order to adjust the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant to better correlate current and expected levels of capital spending and other fixed charges with earnings before taxes, interest and depreciation (EBITDA). The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was reduced from “not less than 1.25 to 1.00” to “not to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter” for the quarters ending September 30, 2011 through September 30, 2012. Starting October 1, 2012, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio increases to “not to be less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter”. The amendments also provide that we will assure that the total outstanding under the revolving credit agreement shall be at least $10 million less than the total committed amount of $100 million during the period commencing September 30, 2011 and ending on September 30, 2012.

The $100 million revolving credit agreement interest rate is LIBOR plus a margin of 2.5% to 3.5% (depending on the level of the ratio of debt to EBITDA). The facility may be expanded upon our request with approval of the lenders by up to $35 million, under the same terms and conditions. The loan agreement contains customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and merger, acquisition and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would accelerate the maturity of the debt. The facility has a $10 million swing line feature to meet short term cash flow needs. Any borrowings under this swing line are considered short term. Costs associated with entering into the revolving credit facility were capitalized and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the facility. As of June 30, 2012, $1,458 of net capitalized loan origination costs related to the revolving credit facility were recorded on the balance sheet within other non-current assets.

Our original $40,000 fixed rate notes agreement with Prudential Capital has an interest rate of 5.39%, which was reduced from 6.50% on December 20, 2011. The $40,000 and $20,000 fixed rate agreements contain customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, restricted payments (including payment of dividends and stock repurchases), issuance of equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would accelerate the maturity of the debt. We incurred costs as a result of issuing these notes which have been recorded on the balance sheet within other non-current assets and are being amortized over the term of the notes. The unamortized balance at June 30, 2012 was $221.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Shared-Based Compensation

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately $525 and $884 in 2012 and $116 and $116 in 2011, respectively, of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, there were 75 share awards and 285 option awards granted to non-executive directors, officers and certain other key employees. There were 75 share awards and 201 option awards granted to non-executive directors, officers and certain other key employees during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

The 75 restricted shares granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, vest pro-rata over three years. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $365 and $50, respectively, in expense related to restricted stock. The fair value of the shares issued was determined by using the grant date closing price of our common stock.

We incurred $519 and $66 of stock option expense in the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of our options cannot be determined by market value, as our options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, the Black Scholes financial pricing model is utilized to estimate the fair value.

The following table provides a reconciliation of option activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2012:


Options	Shares (000)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000)
Outstanding at January 1, 2012		1,141		$	10.12
Granted		285		$	8.85

Exercisable at June 30, 2012		979		$	9.61		4.7	$	1,892	⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾	The intrinsic value is the amount by which the market price of our stock was greater than the exercise price of any individual option grant at June 30, 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for Income Taxes [Abstract]

Provision for Income Taxes

Note 12. Provision for Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2012, we continued to place a valuation allowance on all of the net deferred tax assets of our U.S. locations, the balance of which approximated $10,300 at June 30, 2012. The ongoing necessity of this valuation allowance is based on the negative financial performance of our U.S. operations during the global economic recession of 2008 and 2009 and the negative financial performance during 2010 from losses incurred at the Precision Metal Components Segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the valuation allowance on a portion of these deferred tax assets was reversed to offset tax expense, as our U.S. based units had a combined pre-tax income of $5,966. While our U.S. entities have generated pre-tax income of $5,966 and $1,633 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively, the substantial cumulative losses in 2009 and 2010 outweigh the positive evidence of the year to date 2012 and 2011 taxable income. If the profitability of the U.S. entities continues, it is likely that a significant portion of the valuation allowance (except for the valuation allowance on the foreign tax credits of approximately $3,250) will be reversed. This will result in a material benefit to income tax expense and a resulting benefit to net income in the period in which the valuation allowances are reversed.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of 18% was primarily due to utilization of the fully reserved net operating losses to offset U.S. based taxable income, which lowered tax expense by $2,189. Additionally, the tax rate was impacted by non-U.S. based earnings being taxed at lower rates, which reduced tax expense by $657.

We do not foresee any significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Note 13.

Commitments and Contingencies

As described more fully in our Form 10-K for 2011, we continue to monitor the remediation efforts at a former waste recycling vendor used by our former Walterboro, South Carolina facility. The costs associated with the remediation, which has been tentatively approved by the EPA, are estimated to be approximately $10,000. Our allocated share is approximately $132 which has been paid in full as of June 30, 2012. While there can be no assurances, we believe that $132 is the maximum amount for which we will be liable under the tentatively accepted remediation plan.

As discussed more fully in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the ultimate impact on NN of Eltmann filing for bankruptcy will depend on the findings of the bankruptcy court. However, until such court proceedings are finalized, we will not be able to determine what liabilities and contingent obligations, if any, might remain as the responsibility of NN. Under advice from legal counsel, NN does not expect any further significant impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of the liquidation of this subsidiary.

All other legal matters 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.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.
