Vishay Precision Group,
Inc.
Notes to Combined and Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of
Presentation
Background
On October 27, 2009,
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (“Vishay Intertechnology”) announced its intention
to spin off its precision measurement and foil resistor businesses into an
independent, publicly traded company to be named Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
(“VPG” or the “Company”).
On July 6, 2010,
Vishay Intertechnology completed the spin-off through a tax-free stock dividend
to Vishay Intertechnology’s stockholders. See Note 11. References herein to
“VPG” or the “Company” with respect to events prior to July 6, 2010 refer to the
precision measurement and foil resistor businesses that were contributed to
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. in the spin-off.
The Company is an
international designer, manufacturer and marketer of Foil Technology Products
(strain gages, ultra-precision foil resistors, current sensors) and Weighing
Modules and Control Systems (load cells/transducers, instruments, weighing
modules, and control systems) for a wide variety of applications.
Carve-out Basis of Presentation
Until July 6, 2010
and during all periods presented in these interim financial statements, VPG was
part of Vishay Intertechnology and its assets and liabilities consisted of those
that Vishay Intertechnology attributed to its precision measurement and foil
resistor businesses.
Prior to July 6,
2010, the VPG business was conducted by various direct and indirect subsidiaries
of Vishay Intertechnology. The accompanying combined and consolidated condensed
financial statements for periods prior to July 6, 2010 have been derived from
Vishay Intertechnology’s historical accounting records and are presented on a
carve-out basis.
Before effecting the
spin-off, all assets and liabilities associated with VPG were contributed to
Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
For periods prior to
July 6, 2010, the combined and consolidated condensed statements of operations
include all revenues and expenses directly attributable to VPG, including costs
for facilities, functions, and services used by VPG at shared sites and costs
for certain functions and services performed by centralized Vishay
Intertechnology organizations outside of the defined scope of VPG and directly
charged to VPG based on usage. The results of operations also include
allocations of (i) costs for administrative functions and services performed on
behalf of VPG by centralized staff groups within Vishay Intertechnology, (ii)
Vishay Intertechnology general corporate expenses, (iii) pension and other
postemployment benefit costs, (iv) interest expense, and (v) current and
deferred income taxes. See Notes 2, 4, 6, and 10 for a description of the
allocation methodologies utilized.
All of the
allocations and estimates in the accompanying combined and consolidated
condensed financial statements are based on assumptions that Vishay
Intertechnology and VPG management believes are reasonable, and reasonably
approximate the historical costs that VPG would have incurred as a separate
entity for the same level of service or support. However, these allocations and
estimates are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would
have resulted if VPG had been operated as a separate entity.
-8-
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
(continued)
Following the
spin-off, VPG will incur incremental costs to both replace Vishay
Intertechnology support and to allow VPG to function as an independent,
publicly-traded company.
Actual costs that may
have been incurred if VPG had been a stand-alone company would depend on a
number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions
were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas
such as information technology and infrastructure. Following the spin-off, VPG
will perform these functions using its own resources or purchase these
services.
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited
combined and consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for interim financial statements and therefore do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The information
furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, included in VPG’s
Information Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June
22, 2010 as Exhibit 99.1 to its registration statement on Form 10. The results
of operations for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
VPG reports interim
financial information for 13-week periods beginning on a Sunday and ending on a
Saturday, except for the first quarter, which always begins on January 1, and
the fourth quarter, which always ends on December 31. The four fiscal quarters
in 2010 end on April 3, 2010; July 3, 2010; October 2, 2010; and December 31,
2010, respectively. The four fiscal quarters in 2009 ended on March 28, 2009;
June 27, 2009; September 26, 2009; and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Until July 6, 2010,
the operations comprising VPG’s business were wholly owned by various
subsidiaries of Vishay Intertechnology. As a result, the Company’s capital
structure is not comparable to the capital structure following the spin-off, and
the presentation of earnings (loss) per share would not be meaningful. See Note
11 for a discussion of shares of common stock and Class B common stock issued
pursuant to the spin-off.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance
related to fair value measurements disclosures. The updated guidance (i)
requires separate disclosure of significant transfers out of Levels 1 and 2 fair
value measurements, (ii) requires disclosure of Level 3 fair value measurements
activity on a gross basis, (iii) clarifies existing disaggregation requirements,
and (iv) clarifies existing input and valuation technique disclosure
requirements. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 fair value measurement
disclosure requirements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010. VPG adopted the aspects of the guidance that are currently
effective as of January 1, 2010 and will adopt the remaining guidance on January
1, 2011. The adoption of the effective guidance had no effect on VPG’s financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity and the adoption of the remaining
guidance is not expected to have any effect on VPG’s financial position, results
of operations, or liquidity.

Note 2 – Related Party
Transactions
Through July 6, 2010,
VPG had significant agreements, transactions, and relationships with Vishay
Intertechnology operations outside the defined scope of the VPG business. While
these transactions are not necessarily indicative of the terms VPG would have
achieved had it been a separate entity, management believes they are
reasonable.
Historically, VPG has
used the corporate services of Vishay Intertechnology for a variety of functions
including treasury, tax, legal, internal audit, human resources, and risk
management. Subsequent to the spin-off, VPG is an independent, publicly traded
company, and is expected to incur additional costs associated with being an
independent, publicly traded company. These additional anticipated costs are not
reflected in VPG’s historical combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements prior to July 6, 2010.
Sales Organizations
Prior to the
spin-off, a portion of the VPG’s Foil Technology products were sold by the
Vishay Intertechnology worldwide sales organization, which operates as
regionally-based legal entities. The third-party sale of these products is
presented in the combined and consolidated condensed financial statements as if
it were made by VPG, although legal entities outside of the defined scope of VPG
actually made these sales. Third-party sales made through the Vishay
Intertechnology worldwide sales organization totaled $3,017,000 and $2,842,000
during the fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively,
and $6,635,000 and $6,372,000 during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010
and June 27, 2009, respectively.
The selling entities
receive selling commissions on these sales. Commission rates are set at the
beginning of each year based on budgeted selling expenses expected to be
incurred by the Vishay Intertechnology sales organization. Commission expense
charged to VPG by the Vishay Intertechnology worldwide sales organization was
$86,000 and $201,000 during the fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2010 and June 27,
2009, respectively, and $320,000 and $355,000 during the six fiscal months ended
July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively.
The net cash
generated by these transactions is retained by the Vishay Intertechnology
selling entity, and is presented in the combined and consolidated condensed
balance sheet as a reduction in parent net investment, and is presented in the
combined and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows as a financing
activity in the caption “Transactions with Vishay Intertechnology.”
These sales
activities were transitioned to VPG’s dedicated sales forces effective June 1,
2010, in anticipation of the spin-off.
Shared Facilities
VPG and operations of
Vishay Intertechnology outside the defined scope of VPG share certain
manufacturing and administrative sites. Costs are allocated based on relative
usage of the respective facilities.
Subsequent to the
spin-off, VPG and Vishay Intertechnology continue to share certain manufacturing
locations. VPG owns one location in Israel and one location in Japan, and leases
space to Vishay Intertechnology. Vishay Intertechnology owns one location in
Israel and one location in the United States and leases space to VPG. See Note
11.
-10-
Note 2 – Related Party Transactions
(continued)
Administrative Service Sharing Agreements
Through July 6, 2010,
the combined and consolidated condensed financial statements include
transactions with other Vishay Intertechnology operations involving
administrative services (including expenses primarily related to personnel,
insurance, logistics, other overhead functions, corporate IT support, and
network communications support) that were provided to VPG by Vishay
Intertechnology operations outside the defined scope of VPG. Amounts charged to
VPG for these services were $656,000 and $581,000 during the fiscal quarters
ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively, and $1,059,000 and
$1,214,000 during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009,
respectively.
VPG will be required
to assume the responsibility for these functions, either internally or from
third-party vendors, following the spin-off. Under the terms of a transition
services agreement that VPG entered into with Vishay Intertechnology on July 6,
2010, Vishay Intertechnology will provide to VPG, for a fee, specified support
services for a period of 18 months after the spin-off. See Note 11.
Allocated Corporate Overhead Costs
Through July 6, 2010,
the costs of certain services that are provided by the Vishay Intertechnology
corporate office to VPG have been reflected in the combined and consolidated
condensed financial statements, including charges for services such as
accounting matters for all SEC filings, investor relations, tax services, cash
management, legal services, and risk management on a global basis. These
allocated costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in
the accompanying combined and consolidated condensed statements of operations,
and are presented in the combined and consolidated condensed balance sheet as a
reduction in parent net investment.
The total amount of
allocated costs was $546,000 and $438,000 during the fiscal quarters ended July
3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively, and $1,106,000 and $929,000 during the
six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. These
costs were allocated on the ratio of VPG’s revenues to total revenues and
represent management’s reasonable allocation of the costs incurred. However,
these amounts are not representative of the costs necessary for VPG to operate
as an independent, publicly traded company.
Centralized Cash Management
Vishay
Intertechnology uses a centralized approach to cash management in the United
States and Europe.
In the United States,
cash deposits from VPG historically were transferred to Vishay Intertechnology
on a regular basis and were netted against intercompany payables, or
occasionally remitted to the parent as a dividend. See “Net Payable to
Affiliates” below.
VPG’s subsidiaries in
Europe historically participated in a formal cash pooling agreement, with Vishay
Europe GmbH, an affiliate company, acting as the cash pool leader, effectively
serving as a bank for these subsidiaries. Each day, the individual participant
entity can either deposit funds into the cash pool account from the collection
of receivables or withdraw funds from the account to fund working capital or
other cash needs of the participant entity. At the end of the day, the cash pool
leader sweeps all cash balances into the cash pool leader’s account, or funds
any overdrawn accounts so that each cash pool participant account has a zero
balance at the end of the day. The individual entity has discretion over the use
of its cash, and accordingly, the combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements classify the cash pool balances as “cash and cash equivalents.” All
VPG subsidiaries withdrew from the European cash pool as of December 31,
2009.
Vishay Europe GmbH,
as cash pool leader, pays interest on these funds based on the prevailing
interest rates at third-party lending institutions in Europe. The combined and
consolidated condensed financial statements reflect cash pool interest income of
$95,000 and $185,000, respectively, for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months
ended June 27, 2009.
-11-
Note 2 – Related Party Transactions
(continued)
Net Payable to Affiliates
The net amount
payable to Vishay Intertechnology and affiliated companies outside the defined
scope of the VPG business primarily reflects balances carried forward from
funding provided by Vishay Intertechnology to make certain acquisitions, to
retire certain debt assumed in acquisitions, or as part of Vishay
Intertechnology’s global working capital allocation strategy.
As further described
above, through July 6, 2010, VPG had significant agreements, transactions, and
relationships with Vishay Intertechnology operations outside the defined scope
of the VPG business. The net payable to affiliates also includes the effects of
these transactions.
At July 3, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the net payable to affiliates is presented as a current
liability. These amounts were all repaid prior to the spin-off on July 6, 2010.
See Note 11.
The combined and
consolidated condensed financial statements include charges for interest based
on the prevailing interest rate of Vishay Intertechnology’s revolving credit
facility, or if greater, an interest rate required by local tax authorities.
Interest expense on the net amount payable to affiliates was $103,000 and
$352,000 during the fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009,
respectively, and $286,000 and $707,000 during the six fiscal months ended July
3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. Of these amounts, $100,000 and $300,000
during the fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively,
and $200,000 and $600,000 during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 and
June 27, 2009, respectively, were not historically charged by Vishay
Intertechnology to VPG, and accordingly, these amounts of imputed interest are
reflected as an increase to parent net investment on the combined and
consolidated condensed balance sheet. The remaining interest expense was charged
to VPG and paid in accordance with local statutory requirements.
Exchangeable Notes of Vishay Intertechnology
On December 13, 2002,
Vishay Intertechnology issued $105,000,000 in nominal (or principal) amount of
its floating rate unsecured exchangeable notes due 2102 in connection with an
acquisition. The notes are governed by a note instrument, made by Vishay
Intertechnology on December 13, 2002, and a put and call agreement, dated as of
December 13, 2002. The notes may be put to Vishay Intertechnology in exchange
for shares of its common stock and, under certain circumstances, may be called
by Vishay Intertechnology for similar consideration.
Under the terms of
the put and call agreement, by reason of the spin-off, Vishay Intertechnology is
required to take action so that the existing notes are deemed exchanged as of
the date of the spin-off, for a combination of new notes of Vishay
Intertechnology and notes issued by Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
Except for Vishay
Intertechnology’s contractual obligation to issue new notes of any spin-off
company, these notes have no direct historical connection to the VPG business.
Accordingly, these exchangeable notes are not included in the historical
combined and consolidated condensed financial statements prior to the spin-off
date.
See Note 11.
-12-
Note 3 – Restructuring and Severance
Costs
Restructuring and
severance costs reflect the cost reduction programs implemented by VPG. These
include the closing of facilities and the termination of employees.
Restructuring and severance costs include one-time exit costs, severance
benefits pursuant to an on-going benefit arrangement recognized and related
pension curtailment and settlement charges recognized. Restructuring
costs are expensed during the period in which VPG determines it will incur those
costs and all requirements of accrual are met. Because these costs are recorded
based upon estimates, actual expenditures for the restructuring activities may
differ from the initially recorded costs. If the initial estimates are too low
or too high, VPG could be required either to record additional expenses in
future periods or to reverse part of the previously recorded
charges.
Restructuring Programs in Response to Global Economic
Recession
In response to the
economic downturn during the latter half of 2008 and 2009, VPG undertook
significant measures to cut costs. This included a strict adaptation of
manufacturing capacity to sellable volume and limiting the building of product
for inventory. VPG incurred employee termination costs covering technical,
production, administrative, and support employees located in nearly every
country in which it operates.
VPG recorded
restructuring and severance costs of $1,390,000 and $1,869,000, respectively,
for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended June 27, 2009.
No new restructuring
activities were initiated during the six fiscal months ended July 3,
2010.
-13-
Note 4 – Income
Taxes
Income taxes for VPG
for the year-to-date periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, as presented
in these combined and consolidated condensed financial statements, are
calculated on a separate tax return basis, although VPG’s operations have
historically been included in Vishay Intertechnology’s U.S. federal and certain
state tax returns, and United Kingdom “group relief,” available to entities
under common control, has been claimed. Vishay Intertechnology’s global tax
model has been developed based on its entire portfolio of businesses.
Accordingly, tax results as presented for VPG in these financial statements are
not necessarily indicative of future performance and do not necessarily reflect
the results that VPG would have generated as an independent, publicly traded
company for the periods presented.
Certain dedicated
entities have taxes payable to the local taxing authorities, but VPG does not
maintain taxes payable to/from parent in those jurisdictions where the taxable
incomes are combined or offset. Accordingly, VPG is deemed to settle the annual
current tax balances immediately with the legal tax-paying entities in the
respective jurisdictions. These settlements are reflected as changes in parent
net investment on the combined and consolidated condensed balance
sheets.
The provision for
income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income
taxes. The effective tax rates for the periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27,
2009 reflect VPG’s expected tax rate on reported income before income tax and
tax adjustments. VPG operates in an international environment with significant
operations in various locations outside the United States. Accordingly, the
consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting VPG’s earnings and
the applicable tax rates in the various locations where VPG
operates.
The Company and its
subsidiaries are, or will be, subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous
foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax
positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary
course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the
ultimate tax determination is uncertain. VPG establishes reserves for
tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to
which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when VPG
believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its
tax return positions are fully supportable. VPG adjusts these reserves in light
of changing facts and circumstances and the provision for income taxes includes
the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered
appropriate. At July 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there are no reserves
because VPG has been fully indemnified by Vishay Intertechnology for uncertain
tax positions taken prior to the spin-off date.

Note 6 – Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits
Defined Benefit Plans
Employees of VPG
participate in various defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit
plans.
Certain subsidiaries
that comprise VPG offer defined benefit pension plans to their employees, which
are reflected in the accompanying combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements.
Prior to July 6,
2010, certain employees of VPG in the United States and the United Kingdom have
historically participated in defined benefit pension and other postretirement
plans sponsored by Vishay Intertechnology. The annual cost of the Vishay
Intertechnology defined benefit plans is allocated to all of the participating
businesses based upon a specific actuarial computation, and accordingly, are
reflected in the accompanying combined and consolidated condensed statements of
operations.
VPG will assume most
of the obligations for employees in the United States and the United Kingdom
that will be employed by VPG after the spin-off, and accordingly, those
obligations are included in VPG’s combined and consolidated condensed balance
sheets. An allocation of plan assets is also reflected in the disclosures
below.
Vishay
Intertechnology’s principal qualified U.S. pension plan, the Vishay Retirement
Plan (“VRP”), was frozen effective January 1, 2009. Due to the freeze of the
VRP, participants no longer accrue benefits. Given the frozen nature of the VRP,
participants who will become employees of VPG at the spin-off will become
terminated, vested participants of the VRP as of the spin-off date and Vishay
Intertechnology will retain the pension obligations, the amount of which is not
material.
Employees who
participated in the Vishay Nonqualified Retirement Plan, who will become
employees of VPG at the spin-off, transferred into the newly created Vishay
Precision Group Nonqualified Retirement Plan. The Vishay Nonqualified Retirement
Plan was a contributory pension plan designed to provide similar defined
benefits to covered U.S. employees whose benefits under the Vishay
Intertechnology Retirement Plan would be limited by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue
Code.
The Vishay
Nonqualified Retirement Plan was frozen effective January 1, 2009, and
participants no longer accrue benefits.
The Vishay
Nonqualified Retirement Plan, like all nonqualified plans, is considered to be
unfunded. Vishay Intertechnology maintains a nonqualified trust, referred to as
a “rabbi” trust, to fund benefits under this plan. Rabbi trust assets are
subject to creditor claims under certain conditions and are not the property of
employees. Therefore, they are accounted for as other noncurrent assets.
Effective July 6, 2010, Vishay Intertechnology deposited an allocation of assets
into a newly created rabbi trust for VPG. The combined and consolidated
condensed balance sheets include allocations of these rabbi trust assets of
$1,255,000 and $1,220,000 at July 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively,
which equals the pension liability at those dates.

Other Retirement Obligations
Certain key employees
participated in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by Vishay
Intertechnology. These employees transferred to a newly created nonqualified
deferred compensation plan of VPG. The accompanying combined and consolidated
condensed balance sheets include a liability within other noncurrent liabilities
related to these deferrals. Vishay Intertechnology maintains a nonqualified
trust, referred to as a “rabbi” trust, to fund payments under this plan. Rabbi
trust assets are subject to creditor claims under certain conditions and are not
the property of employees. Therefore, they are accounted for as other noncurrent
assets. Effective July 6, 2010, Vishay Intertechnology deposited an allocation
of assets into a newly created rabbi trust for VPG. The combined and
consolidated condensed balance sheets include allocations of these rabbi trust
assets of $2,446,000 and $2,295,000 at July 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively. Assets held in trust are intended to approximate VPG’s liability
under this plan.

Note 7 – Share-Based
Compensation
Vishay
Intertechnology maintains various stockholder-approved programs which allow for
the grant of share-based compensation to officers, directors, and employees,
including employees of VPG. The following disclosures represent the portion of
the Vishay Intertechnology programs in which employees of VPG
participated.
Vishay
Intertechnology common stock underlies all awards granted under these programs.
The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future VPG equity
compensation expense as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods
presented.
The amount of
compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions is measured based
on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value of
each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. VPG determines compensation cost for restricted stock
units (“RSUs”) and phantom stock units based on the grant-date fair value of the
underlying common stock. Compensation cost is recognized over the period that
the participant provides service in exchange for the award.

Outstanding Vishay
Intertechnology stock options held by employees of VPG will expire within 60
days of the spin-off. VPG agreed to offer to issue replacement awards based on
its own common stock after the spin-off. See Note 11.

Note 7 – Share-Based Compensation
(continued)
The pretax aggregate
intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price of Vishay
Intertechnology common stock on the last trading day of second fiscal quarter of
2010 of $7.43 per share and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of
in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had
all option holders exercised their options on July 3, 2010 is zero, because all
outstanding options have exercise prices in excess of market value. This amount
changes based on changes in the market value of the Vishay Intertechnology’s
common stock. No options were exercised during the six fiscal months ended July
3, 2010.
Restricted Stock Units and Phantom Stock Units
At July 3, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, employees of VPG hold 5,001 and 6,668
unvested Vishay Intertechnology RSUs, respectively. Outstanding Vishay
Intertechnology RSUs held by employees of VPG generally expired on July 6, 2010,
the date of the spin-off. VPG agreed to issue replacement awards based on its
own common stock after the spin-off. See Note 11.
Vishay
Intertechnology phantom stock units granted to employees of VPG totaled 5,000
during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010. At July 3, 2010 and December
31, 2009, employees of VPG hold 35,000 and 30,000 phantom stock units,
respectively, which were converted into Vishay Intertechnology common stock
effective July 6, 2010 upon completion of the spin-off.

Note 8 – Segment
Information
VPG operates in two
product segments: Foil Technology Products, which include foil resistors and
strain gages, and Weighing Modules and Control Systems, which include load
cells, instruments, and complete systems for process control or on-board
weighing applications.
VPG evaluates
operating segment performance based on operating income, exclusive of certain
items. Management believes that evaluating segment performance excluding items
such as restructuring and severance costs, and other items is meaningful because
it provides insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of
VPG.

Note 10 – Fair Value
Measurements
ASC Topic 820
establishes a valuation hierarchy of the inputs used to measure fair value. This
hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those
three levels:
Level 1: Observable
inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable
inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.
An asset or
liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The following table
provides the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on
a recurring basis (in thousands):

Vishay
Intertechnology maintains nonqualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to
fund payments under deferred compensation and nonqualified pension plans, and
VPG has established similar trusts to continue these programs. Effective July 6,
2010, Vishay Intertechnology contributed assets to VPG’s rabbi trust in an
amount that approximates VPG’s liability under these arrangements. The assets
reflected above as of July 3, 2010 are based on actual assets transferred by
Vishay Intertechnology on July 6, 2010. The assets reflected above as of
December 31, 2009 reflect a pro rata allocation of the Vishay Intertechnology
rabbi trust assets. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable
securities, classified as available-for-sale, and company-owned life insurance
assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using
quoted market prices on the last business day of the year. The company-owned
life insurance assets are valued in consultation with Vishay Intertechnology’s
insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance
contracts. The fair value measurement of the marketable securities held in the
rabbi trust is considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the
company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within
the fair value hierarchy.
VPG’s financial
instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term
notes receivable, short-term notes payable, accounts payable, and long-term
debt. The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the
combined and consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair
values.

Note 11 – Subsequent
Events
Consummation of the Spin-Off
On July 6, 2010,
Vishay Intertechnology completed the spin-off through a tax-free stock dividend
to Vishay Intertechnology’s stockholders.
Issuance of Stock of Vishay Precision Group,
Inc.
On July 6, 2010,
Vishay Intertechnology common stockholders of record as of June 25, 2010
(“record date”) received 1 share of VPG common stock for every 14 shares of
Vishay Intertechnology common stock they held on the record date, and Vishay
Intertechnology Class B common stockholders received 1 share of VPG Class B
common stock for every 14 shares of Vishay Intertechnology Class B common stock
they held on the record date.
As a result of the
spin-off, the Company issued 12,306,788 shares of common stock, par value $0.10,
and 1,025,196 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.10.
The Company’s Class B
common stock carries ten votes per share. The common stock carries one vote per
share. Class B shares are transferable only to certain permitted transferees
while the common stock is freely transferable. Class B shares are convertible on
a one-for-one basis at any time into shares of common stock. Transfers of Class
B shares other than to permitted transferees result in the automatic conversion
of the Class B shares into common stock.
The Board of
Directors may only declare dividends or other distributions with respect to the
common stock or the Class B common stock if it grants such dividends or
distributions in the same amount per share with respect to the other class of
stock. Stock dividends or distributions on any class of stock are payable only
in shares of stock of that class. Shares of either common stock or Class B
common stock cannot be split, divided, or combined unless the other is also
split, divided, or combined equally.
The Board of
Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue from
time to time up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series. The Board of Directors may fix or alter the designation,
preferences, rights and any qualification, limitations, restrictions of the
shares of any series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion
rights, voting rights, redemption terms and prices, liquidation preferences and
the number of shares constituting any series. No shares of our preferred stock
are currently outstanding.
Issuance of Stock Purchase Warrants of Vishay Precision Group,
Inc.
Effective July 6,
2010, the Company issued 630,252 warrants to acquire shares of VPG common stock
to holders of Vishay Intertechnology warrants pursuant to a warrant agreement
entered into by Vishay Intertechnology and its transfer agent dated December 13,
2002. In accordance with the terms of the 2002 warrant agreement, the exercise
prices of these warrants were determined based on the relative trading prices of
Vishay Intertechnology and VPG common stock on the ten trading days following
the spin-off. Of these warrants, 500,000 have an exercise price of $26.56 per
share and 130,252 have an exercise price of $40.23 per share. These warrants
expire in December 2012.
-23-
Note 11 – Subsequent Events
(continued)
Issuance of Exchangeable Notes due 2102 of Vishay Precision Group,
Inc.
As described in Note
2, by reason of the spin-off, Vishay Intertechnology was required to take action
so that the existing exchangeable notes of Vishay Intertechnology are deemed
exchanged as of the date of the spin-off, for a combination of new notes of
Vishay Intertechnology and notes issued by Vishay Precision Group,
Inc.
Based on the relative
trading prices of Vishay Intertechnology and VPG common stock on the ten trading
days following the spin-off, VPG assumed the liability for an aggregate
$9,958,460 principal amount of exchangeable notes effective July 6, 2010. The
maturity date of the notes is December 13, 2102.
The notes are subject
to a put and call agreement under which the holders may at any time put the
notes to the Company in exchange for 441,176 shares of the Company’s common
stock in the aggregate, and the Company may call the notes in exchange for cash
or for shares of its common stock at any time after January 1, 2018. The
put/call rate of the VPG notes is $22.57 per share of common stock.
The notes will bear
interest at LIBOR. Interest will be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30,
September 30, and December 31 of each calendar year. The interest rate could be
further reduced to 50% of LIBOR after January 1, 2011 if the price of the
Company’s common stock is above $59.75 per share for thirty or more consecutive
trading days prior to that point.
Share-based Compensation
Effective July 6,
2010, the Company’s Board of Directors and Vishay Intertechnology (as the
Company’s sole stockholder prior to the spin-off) approved the adoption of the
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Program.
Outstanding Vishay
Intertechnology equity-based awards held by employees of VPG expire at or within
60 days of the spin-off. In connection with the spin-off, VPG agreed to issue,
and to offer to issue, certain replacement awards to VPG employees holding
equity-based awards of Vishay Intertechnology based on VPG’s common
stock.
VPG agreed to issue
approximately 58,000 replacement stock options with a weighted average exercise
price of $27.15. In addition, VPG expects that it will be required to issue
approximately 4,000 replacement RSUs. The vesting schedule, expiration date, and
other terms of these awards will be generally the same as those of the Vishay
Intertechnology equity-based awards they are intended to replace.
Also in connection
with the spin-off, the VPG Board of Directors agreed to grant “founders’ equity”
awards pursuant to the Vishay Precision Group, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Program
of approximately 100,000 RSUs to directors and executive officers. The total
fair value of these awards was $1,165,000. The fair value will be recognized
over the three year vesting schedule.
VPG’s three executive
officers will also be entitled to annual performance-based equity awards with an
aggregate target grant-date fair value of $588,000. The form and performance
criteria of the annual equity awards will be determined by the VPG compensation
committee.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events
(continued)
Transactions with Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. at Spin-Off
At July 3, 2010, VPG
had a net payable to Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and affiliates of $19,531,000,
which was fully paid prior to the spin-off on July 6, 2010.
As described above,
effective as of the spin-off date, VPG assumed the liability for $9,958,460
principal amount of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. exchangeable notes due 2102.
The assumption of this liability was recorded as a reduction in parent net
investment just prior to the spin-off.
Pursuant to the
master separation agreement, the target net cash balance of VPG at the spin-off
date was $65.0 million. “Net cash” for these purposes is defined as cash and
cash equivalents less third-party indebtedness less notes payable to banks less
the principal amount of the exchangeable notes assumed by VPG. If the actual
amount of net cash at the spin-off date was less than 90% of the target net cash
balance ($58.5 million), Vishay Intertechnology agreed to make a capital
contribution effective July 6, 2010, just prior to the spin-off.

Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations
Relationships with Vishay Intertechnology
after Spin-Off
In connection with
the spin-off, on July 6, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into
several agreements with Vishay Intertechnology and its subsidiaries that govern
the relationship of the parties following the spin-off.
Transition Services Agreement
Pursuant to the
transition services agreement, Vishay Intertechnology will provide to VPG
certain information technology support services for our foil resistor business.
The cost of the services to be provided may not necessarily be reflective of
prices that could have been obtained for similar services from an independent
third-party. VPG anticipates that total payments under the transition services
agreement will be less than $300,000 for the first twelve months of the
agreement, and $500,000 in the aggregate.
Lease Agreements
Subsequent to the
spin-off, VPG and Vishay Intertechnology continue to share certain manufacturing
locations.
Future minimum lease
payments by VPG for these facilities are estimated as follows (in thousands):

Supply Agreements
After the spin-off,
VPG and Vishay Intertechnology each will require certain products manufactured
by the other for manufacture and sale of its respective products. VPG and Vishay
Intertechnology have entered into multiple supply agreements pursuant to which
one party will be obligated to supply to the other certain products described in
the supply agreements, up to a maximum aggregate quantity for each product, at
pricing set forth in the supply agreements. The term of each supply agreement is
perpetual unless sooner terminated. Either party may terminate the supply
agreement at any time upon written notice to the other party at least one year
prior to the requested date of termination. The parties will negotiate in good
faith as to the pricing for each product on an annual basis taking into account
ascertainable market inputs.
The estimated
purchase price of products to be purchased annually from Vishay Intertechnology
is approximately $130,000, and the estimated selling price of products to be
sold annually to Vishay Intertechnology is approximately $175,000.

Credit Facility
In connection with
the spin-off, as of July 6, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer
a part of Vishay’s revolving credit facility.
Executive Employment
Agreements
The Company has
written arrangements with its executive officers which outline base salary,
incentive compensation, and equity-based compensation.
The arrangement with
the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer also provides for a special
sign-on bonus of $400,000, which became payable on July 6, 2010, and will be
recorded in the Company’s third quarter. The Company’s President and Chief
Executive Officer will be required to repay this bonus if he terminates his
employment with VPG during the initial three-year term of his employment
arrangement, except under certain circumstances.
The arrangements with
our executive officers also provide for incremental compensation in the event of
termination without cause or for good reason.
The Company expects
to enter into formal employment agreements with its executive officers based on
terms agreed upon prior to the spin-off.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a designer,
manufacturer and marketer of resistive foil technology products such as
resistive sensors, weighing modules, and control systems for a wide variety of
applications. Until July 6, 2010, our business was part of Vishay
Intertechnology, Inc., and our assets and liabilities consisted of those that
Vishay Intertechnology attributed to its precision measurement and foil resistor
businesses. Following the spin-off on July 6, 2010, we are an independent,
publicly traded company, and Vishay Intertechnology does not retain any
ownership interest in us.
We operate in two
product segments: Foil Technology Products, which include strain gages,
ultra-precision foil resistors, and current sensors, and Weighing Modules and
Control Systems, which include transducers/load cells, instruments, weighing
modules, and complete systems for process control or onboard weighing
applications.
Net revenues for the
fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2010 were $52.9 million, versus $41.3 million for
the comparable prior year period. Net earnings for the fiscal quarter ended July
3, 2010 were $4.0 million, versus a net loss of $0.1 million for the comparable
prior year period. The net loss for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2009
includes pretax charges of $1.4 million for restructuring and severance costs.
Net revenues for the
six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 were $101.1 million, versus $85.0 million
for the comparable prior year period. Net earnings for the six fiscal months
ended July 3, 2010 were $5.8 million, versus $0.5 million for the comparable
prior year period. Net earnings for the fiscal six months ended June 27, 2009
were negatively impacted by pretax charges of $1.9 million for restructuring and
severance costs.
Due primarily to the
specialized nature of our products, our business historically has been
relatively less influenced by macro economic factors. Nevertheless, we did
experience significant impacts of the global recession beginning in the second
quarter of 2008 and continuing into 2009.
In the second half of
2009, we began to see signs of economic recovery, including sequential increases
in quarterly revenues and gross margins which have continued into the second
quarter of 2010. Our book-to-bill ratio has been greater than one for four
consecutive quarters, after five consecutive quarters of declining sales. While
revenue levels have not yet returned to pre-recession levels, we remain
confident for the long-term prospects of our business.
-28-
Financial Metrics
We utilize several
financial measures and metrics to evaluate the performance and assess the future
direction of our business. These key financial measures and metrics include
sales, gross profit margin, end-of-period backlog, the book-to-bill ratio, and
inventory turnover.
Gross profit margin
is computed as gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Gross profit is
generally net revenues less costs of products sold, but could also include
certain other period costs. Gross profit margin is clearly a function of net
revenues, but also reflects our cost-cutting programs and our ability to contain
fixed costs.
End-of-period backlog
is one indicator of potential future sales. We include in our backlog only open
orders that have been released by the customer for shipment in the next twelve
months. If demand falls below customers’ forecasts, or if customers do not
control their inventory effectively, they may cancel or reschedule the shipments
that are included in our backlog, in many instances without the payment of any
penalty. Therefore, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for future periods.
Another important
indicator of demand in our industry is the book-to-bill ratio, which is the
ratio of the amount of product ordered during a period compared with the product
that we ship during that period. A book-to-bill ratio that is greater than one
indicates that our backlog is building and that we may generate increasing
revenues in future periods. Conversely, a book-to-bill ratio that is less than
one is an indicator of declining demand and may foretell declining
sales.
We focus on our
inventory turnover as a measure of how well we are managing our inventory. We
define inventory turnover for a financial reporting period as our costs of
products sold for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the
reporting period divided by our average inventory (computed using each
quarter-end balance) for this same period. A higher level of inventory turnover
reflects more efficient use of our capital.
The
quarter-to-quarter trends in these financial metrics can also be an important
indicator of the likely direction of our business. The following table shows net
revenues, gross profit margin, the end-of-period backlog, the book-to-bill
ratio, and the inventory turnover for our business as a whole during the five
quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2009 and through the second

The order levels for
the Foil Technology Products segment have now exceeded the pre-financial crisis
level but order levels for the Weighing Modules and Control Systems segment are
still approximately 30% below the pre-financial crisis level.
Acquisition Strategy
Since 2002, we have
implemented a strategy of vertical product integration, by growing our weighing
systems business and by promoting our sophisticated electronic weighing modules
and other products that integrate the precision measurement components that we
design and produce.
As part of our growth
strategy, we seek to expand through acquisition of other manufacturers of
products that are similar or complementary to our existing product portfolio,
particularly manufacturers who have established positions in major markets,
reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which we
have substantial marketing and technical expertise. We also explore
opportunities to acquire smaller targets to gain market share, effectively
penetrate different geographic markets, enhance new product development, or grow
our high margin niche market businesses.
We expect to continue
our program of strategic acquisitions, particularly where opportunities present
themselves to grow our systems business. Upon completion of acquisitions, we
seek to reduce selling, general, and administrative expenses through the
integration or elimination of redundant sales offices and administrative
functions at acquired companies.
There is no assurance
that we will be able to identify and acquire suitable acquisition candidates at
price levels and on terms and conditions we consider acceptable.
-30-
Cost Management
To be successful, we
must seek new strategies for controlling operating costs. Through automation in
our plants, we can optimize our capital and labor resources in production,
inventory management, quality control, and warehousing. We are in the process of
moving some manufacturing from higher-labor-cost countries to state of the art
new facilities, including a substantial degree of automation, in
lower-labor-cost countries, such as Costa Rica, India, Israel, the People’s
Republic of China, and the Republic of China (Taiwan). This will enable us to
become more efficient and cost competitive, but also maintain tighter controls
of the operation. The improved automation will assist us to continuously improve
product quality and increased efficiency.
A primary tenet of
our business strategy is expansion through acquisitions. In addition to the
primary objective of enhancing our strategy of vertical product integration, our
acquisition strategy includes a focus on reducing selling, general, and
administrative expenses through the integration or elimination of redundant
sales offices and administrative functions at acquired companies, and achieving
significant production cost savings through the transfer of manufacturing
operations to countries where we can benefit from lower labor costs and
available tax and other government-sponsored incentives. These plant closure and
employee termination measures subsequent to acquisitions are also integral to
our cost reduction programs.
Under previous
accounting standards, plant closure and employee termination costs that we
incurred in connection with our acquisition activities were included in the
costs of our acquisitions and did not affect earnings or losses on our statement
of operations. ASC Topic 805, which we adopted effective January 1, 2009,
requires such costs to be recorded as expenses in our statement of operations,
as such expenses are incurred.
We evaluate potential
restructuring projects based on an expected payback period. The payback period
represents the number of years of annual cost savings necessary to recover the
initial cash outlay for severance and other exit costs plus the noncash expenses
recognized for asset write-downs. In general, a restructuring project must have
a payback of less than 3 years to be considered beneficial. On average, our
restructuring projects have a payback of between 1 and 1.5 years.
These production
transfers, facility consolidations, and other long-term cost-cutting measures
require us to initially incur significant severance and other exit costs. We
anticipate that we will realize the benefits of our restructuring through lower
labor costs and other operating expenses in future periods. However, these
programs to improve our profitability also involve certain risks which could
materially impact our future operating results, as further detailed in “Risk
Factors” beginning on page 16 of our information statement, filed with the SEC
on June 22, 2010 as Exhibit 99.1 to our registration statement on Form
10.
In response to the
economic downturn, during the latter half of 2008 and continuing into 2009, we
undertook significant measures to cut costs. This included a temporary idling of
manufacturing capacity to adapt to sellable volume and limiting the building of
product for inventory. It also included permanent employee terminations, and
temporary layoffs and shutdowns. We incurred restructuring and severance costs
of $2.6 million as a result of these programs in response to the global
recession. Of these amounts, $1.4 million and $1.9 million were recorded in the
fiscal quarter and six-fiscal months ended June 27, 2009.
We did not initiate
any new programs during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 and thus did
not record any restructuring expenses during the fiscal quarter or six fiscal
months ended July 3, 2010.
We are presently
executing plans to further reduce our costs by consolidating additional
manufacturing operations by expanding our newly acquired facility in India.
These plans will require us to incur restructuring and severance costs in future
periods. However, after implementing these plans, we do not anticipate
significant restructuring and severance costs for our business except in the
context of acquisition integration.
While streamlining
and reducing fixed overhead, we are exercising caution so that we will not
negatively impact our customer service or our ability to further develop
products and processes.
-31-
Foreign Currency
We are exposed to
foreign currency exchange rate risks, particularly due to transactions in
currencies other than the functional currencies of certain subsidiaries. While
we have in the past used forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our
projected cash flows from these exposures, we generally have not done so in
recent periods.
U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that entities identify the
“functional currency” of each of their subsidiaries and measure all elements of
the financial statements in that functional currency. A subsidiary’s functional
currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it
operates. In cases where a subsidiary is relatively self-contained within a
particular country, the local currency is generally deemed to be the functional
currency. However, a foreign subsidiary that is a direct and integral component
or extension of the parent company’s operations generally would have the parent
company’s currency as its functional currency. We have both situations among our
subsidiaries.
Foreign Subsidiaries which use the Local Currency as the Functional
Currency
We finance our
operations in Europe and certain locations in Asia in local currencies, and
accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the local currency as their functional
currency. For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional
currency, assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets have been
translated at the rate of exchange as of the balance sheet date. Translation
adjustments do not impact the results of operations and are reported as a
separate component of equity. The general strength of the U.S. dollar at the end
of the second fiscal quarter of 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 has
significantly increased the accumulated other comprehensive loss recorded on our
combined and consolidated condensed balance sheet.
For those
subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, revenues and
expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. While the
translation of revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars does not directly impact
the consolidated statement of operations, the translation effectively increases
or decreases the U.S. dollar equivalent of revenues generated and expenses
incurred in those foreign currencies. The general strength of the U.S. dollar
during the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 has reduced our
combined and consolidated condensed revenues and expenses.
Foreign Subsidiaries which use the U.S. Dollar as the Functional Currency
Our operations in
Israel and certain locations in Asia are largely financed in U.S. dollars, and
accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the U.S. dollar as their functional
currency. For those foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional
currency, all foreign currency financial statement amounts are remeasured into
U.S. dollars. Exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign
currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in the results
of operations. While these subsidiaries transact most business in U.S. dollars,
they may have significant costs, particularly payroll-related, which are
incurred in the local currency. The cost of products sold and selling, general,
and administrative expense for first half of 2010 have been slightly unfavorably
impacted (compared to the prior year period) by local currency transactions of
subsidiaries which use the U.S. dollar as their functional
currency.

Given the specialized
nature of our products and our direct sales approach, we incur significant
selling, general, and administrative costs.
SG&A expenses for
the quarter and six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 have increased versus the
comparable prior year periods, primarily due to increased personnel costs as we
prepare to function as an independent, publicly-traded company. Personnel costs
have also increased due to the resumption of employee bonus programs that were
suspended in 2009 due to the recession.
Several items
included in SG&A expenses impact the comparability of these amounts, as

Through the date of
the spin-off, we had significant agreements, transactions, and relationships
with Vishay Intertechnology operations outside the defined scope of our
business. While these transactions are not necessarily indicative of the terms
we would have achieved had we been a separate entity, management believes they
are reasonable. A description of these transactions and allocations is included
in Note 2 to our historical unaudited interim combined and consolidated
condensed financial statements.
Historically, we have
used the corporate services of Vishay Intertechnology for a variety of functions
including treasury, tax, legal, internal audit, human resources, and risk
management. As of the spin-off, we will be an independent, publicly traded
company. We expect to incur additional SG&A costs associated with being an
independent, publicly traded company. These additional anticipated costs are not
reflected in the historical combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements.
Pursuant to the
transition services agreement, Vishay Intertechnology will provide to VPG
certain information technology support services for our foil resistor business.
The cost of the services to be provided may not necessarily be reflective of
prices that could have been obtained for similar services from an independent
third-party. VPG anticipates that total payments under the transition services
agreement will be less than $300,000 for the first twelve months of the
agreement, and $500,000 in the aggregate.

Other Income (Expense)
Total interest
expense for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010
decreased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, versus the comparable
prior year periods, primarily attributable to lower interest rates and a lower
balance of net payable to Vishay Intertechnology. Interest expense on the net
payable to Vishay Intertechnology is included in the combined and consolidated
condensed financial statements based on the prevailing interest rate of Vishay
Intertechnology’s revolving credit facility, or if greater, an interest rate
required by local tax authorities.

Income Taxes
The effective tax
rate for the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 was 39.6%, as compared to
74.6% for the six fiscal months ended June 27, 2009.
The provision for
income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes
calculated on a separate tax return basis. The effective tax rates for the
periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 reflect our expected tax rate on
reported income before income tax and tax adjustments. We operate in an
international environment with significant operations in various locations
outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a
composite rate reflecting our earnings and the applicable tax rates in the
various locations where we operate. Changes in the effective tax rate are
largely attributable to changes in the mix of pretax income among our various
taxing jurisdictions.
The effective tax
rates reflect the fact that we could not recognize for accounting purposes the
tax benefit of losses incurred in certain jurisdictions, although these losses
may be available to offset future taxable income. Under applicable accounting
principles, we may not recognize deferred tax assets for loss carryforwards in
jurisdictions where there is a recent history of cumulative losses, where there
is no taxable income in the carryback period, where there is insufficient
evidence of future earnings to overcome the loss history and where there is no
other positive evidence, such as the likely reversal of taxable temporary
differences, that would result in the utilization of loss carryforwards for tax
purposes.
The high effective
tax rate for the six fiscal month periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009
are principally due to losses in tax jurisdictions where we could not record a
deferred tax benefit.
The income taxes
presented in the unaudited interim combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements are calculated on a separate tax return basis, although our
operations have historically been included in Vishay Intertechnology’s U.S.
federal and state tax returns or certain non-U.S. jurisdictions tax returns.
Vishay Intertechnology’s global tax model has been developed based on its entire
portfolio of businesses. Accordingly, our tax expense as presented in the
combined and consolidated condensed financial statements is not necessarily
indicative of future performance and does not necessarily reflect the results
that we would have generated as an independent, publicly traded company for the
periods presented.
Additional
information about income taxes is included in Note 4 to our unaudited interim
combined and consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital
Resources
At July 3, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, we had significant cash balances and limited third-party
debt. We historically have had significant amounts payable to Vishay
Intertechnology affiliates. The payable to Vishay Intertechnology affiliates of
$19.4 million (as of July 3, 2010) was repaid as of the spin-off date of July 6,
2010.
Vishay
Intertechnology made capital contributions of $19.0 million, effective as of
July 6, 2010, pursuant to the master separation agreement, to ensure that we had
net cash within the range specified in the master separation agreement.
Effective July 6,
2010, we issued approximately $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of
exchangeable notes in accordance with the terms of Vishay Intertechnology's
outstanding exchangeable notes due 2102, which required that the existing
exchangeable notes of Vishay Intertechnology be exchanged in connection with the
spin-off, for a combination of new notes of Vishay Intertechnology and notes
issued by Vishay Precision Group, Inc. The maturity date of these notes is
December 13, 2102.
Our other long-term
debt is not significant and consists of debt held by our Japanese subsidiary of
approximately $1.6 million at July 3, 2010.
The Company expects
to enter into a revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks to provide
us with flexibility and additional liquidity during the third fiscal quarter of
2010.
Due to our strong
product portfolio and market position, our business has historically generated
significant cash flow. During the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010, we
generated $9.4 million of cash from operating activities, versus $10.6 million
during the comparable prior year period. Our cash flow gives us the flexibility
to create stockholder value by investing in our business.
Our cash flows from
operating activities during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 were
negatively impacted by the transition of selling activities to VPG’s dedicated
sales forces for certain of our Foil Technology products effective June 1, 2010,
in anticipation of the spin-off. These sales activities were previously
performed by Vishay Intertechnology. As a result of this transition, our
third-party accounts receivable increased significantly, which has a
corresponding impact on cash flows from operating activities.
We focus on our
ability to generate cash flows from operations. The cash generated from
operations is used to fund our capital expenditure plans, and cash in excess of
our capital expenditure needs is available to fund our acquisition
strategy.
We refer to the
amount of cash generated from operations in excess of our capital expenditure
needs and net of proceeds from the sale of assets as “free cash,” a measure
which management uses to evaluate our ability to fund acquisitions. We
historically have generated positive “free cash,” even in the recent recession,
and we expect to continue to be able to do so. There is no assurance, however,
that we will be able to continue to generate free cash.

Measurements such as
“free cash” and “net cash (debt)” do not have uniform definitions and are not
recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such measures should not be viewed as
alternatives to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. However, management
believes that “free cash” is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund
acquisitions, and that an analysis of “net cash (debt)” assists investors in
understanding aspects of our cash and debt management. These measures, as
calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies.
Approximately 72% and
98% of our cash and cash equivalents balance at July 3, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively, was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If cash is
repatriated to the United States, we would be subject to additional U.S. income
taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits), state income taxes,
incremental foreign income taxes, and withholding taxes payable to various
foreign countries.
Our financial
condition as of July 3, 2010 is strong, with a current ratio (current assets to
current liabilities) of 3.4 to 1, as compared to a ratio of 3.7 to 1 at December
31, 2009. The changes in this ratio in 2010 are primarily attributable to
changes in working capital. On a pro forma basis, assuming the repayment of the
net payable to Vishay Intertechnology from cash on-hand, our current ratio at
July 3, 2010 and at December 31, 2009 would be 5.1 to 1 and 6.4 to 1,
respectively.
Our business is not
particularly capital intensive. Cash paid for property and equipment for the six
fiscal months ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was $3.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively. We limited our capital expenditures in 2009 as a result
of the economic uncertainty. This reduced level of annual capital spending is
temporary and not sustainable. Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be
approximately $10.3 million, to expand our business.
“Other investing
activities” on the combined and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows
principally represent principal payments on a long-term note related to the sale
of AeroGo, a business acquired as part of the acquisition of SI Technologies and
divested in 2005. At December 31, 2009, the note receivable related to the
disposition of the AeroGo business has been fully repaid.

Contractual Commitments
Our information
statement, filed with the SEC on June 22, 2010 as exhibit 99.1 to our
registration statement on Form 10, includes a table of contractual commitments
as of December 31, 2009. There were no material changes to these commitments
during the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2010.
Upon consummation of
the spin-off on July 6, 2010, subsequent to the end of the second fiscal
quarter, we entered into various contractual commitments, which are described in
Note 11 to our unaudited interim combined and consolidated condensed financial
statements included in Item 1.
Safe Harbor Statement
From time to time,
information provided by us, including but not limited to statements in this
report, or other statements made by or on our behalf, may contain
“forward-looking” information within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve a number of risks,
uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which
may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from
those anticipated.
Such statements are
based on current expectations only, and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or
projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to materially
differ include: general business and economic conditions, changes in the current
pace of economic recovery, including if such recovery stalls or does not
continue as expected; difficulties in integrating acquired companies, the
inability to realize anticipated synergies and expansion possibilities,
unexpected costs or difficulties related to our recent spin-off and other
unanticipated conditions adversely affecting the operation of these companies;
difficulties in new product development; changes in competition and technology
in the markets that we serve and the mix of our products required to address
these changes; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; difficulties in
implementing our cost reduction strategies such as labor unrest or legal
challenges to our lay-off or termination plans, underutilization of production
facilities in lower-labor-cost countries, operation of redundant facilities due
to difficulties in transferring production to lower-labor-cost countries; and
other factors affecting our operations, markets, products, services, and prices
that are set forth in our information statement filed with the SEC on June 22,
2010 as Exhibit 99.1 to our registration statement on Form 10. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no
material changes in the market risks previously disclosed in our information
statement filed with the SEC on June 22, 2010 as Exhibit 99.1 to our
registration statement on Form 10, except as described below.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to
changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowing activities and our cash
balances.
On July 6, 2010,
subsequent to the end of our second fiscal quarter, Vishay Intertechnology
completed the spin-off of our company through a tax-free stock dividend to
Vishay Intertechnology’s stockholders. Transactions related to the spin-off
change the nature of our exposures to interest rate risks.
Effective July 6,
2010, we issued approximately $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of
exchangeable notes in accordance with the terms of Vishay Intertechnology's
outstanding exchangeable notes due 2102, which required that the existing
exchangeable notes of Vishay Intertechnology be exchanged in connection with the
spin-off, for a combination of new notes of Vishay Intertechnology and notes
issued by Vishay Precision Group, Inc with principal amounts and other features
calculated based on the relative trading prices of the common stock of VPG and
Vishay Intertechnology in the 10 trading days following the spin-off. The new
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. notes bear interest at LIBOR.
At July 6, 2010, we
have cash and cash equivalents of $70.6 million, which accrues interest at
various variable rates.
-41-
Based on the debt and
cash positions at July 6, 2010, we would expect a 50 basis point increase or
decrease in interest rates to increase or decrease our annualized net earnings
by approximately $0.2 million.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Under the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are not required to
comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
until we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December
31, 2011, so long as we continue to meet the definition of a non-accelerated
filer. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011,
management and our independent registered public accounting firm will be
required to provide an assessment as to the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
An evaluation was
performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer
(“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule
15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are: (1)
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by
this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent to the end
of the period covered by this report and in connection with our spin-off from
Vishay Intertechnology on July 6, 2010, several areas of internal control over
financial reporting changed. These areas are primarily related to setting up
corporate functions at Vishay Precision Group, Inc. that previously existed at
Vishay Intertechnology. These functions that affected internal control over
financial reporting include financial reporting, legal, and information
technology.
