BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of Greatbatch, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Greatbatch Ltd. (collectively “Greatbatch” or the “Company”) for the periods presented.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  The December 28, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2007.  The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31st. For 52-week years, each quarter contains 13 weeks.  The second quarter of 2008 and 2007 each contained 13 weeks and ended on June 27, and June 29, respectively.

ACQUISITIONS

P Medical Holding SA
On January 7, 2008, the Company acquired P Medical Holding SA (“Precimed”) with administrative offices in Orvin, Switzerland and Exton, PA, manufacturing operations in Switzerland and Indiana and sales offices in Japan, China and the United Kingdom.  This transaction diversifies the Company’s revenue and establishes the Company as a leading supplier to the orthopedics industry.

This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 Business Combinations.  Accordingly, the results of Precimed’s operations were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The aggregate purchase price was $80.8 million, consisting of the cash issued at closing to Precimed shareholders ($77.5 million), and other direct acquisition-related costs, including financial advisory, legal and accounting services ($3.3 million).  Additionally, the purchase agreement includes a contingent payment which can range from 0 Swiss Francs (“CHF”) to 12,000,000 CHF depending on Precimed’s 2008 earnings performance.  Based upon the exchange ratio of 0.9779 CHF per one U.S. dollar as of June 27, 2008, the maximum contingent payment would be approximately $11.7 million and is subject to change due to foreign currency fluctuations and the final calculation of the contingent payment.  The purchase price was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit agreement. Concurrently with the close of the Precimed acquisition, the Company repaid a portion of the long-term debt assumed of $31.7 million.

The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Precimed based on their preliminary fair values as of the acquisition date, with the amount exceeding the fair value recorded as goodwill.  As the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained, including, but not limited to, settlement of the contingent payment, the finalization of our intangible asset valuation, the final reconciliation and valuation of tangible assets, the Company incurring direct acquisition costs in connection with this transaction and the resolution of pre-acquisition tax positions.  The valuations will be finalized within 12 months of the close of the acquisition.  Any changes to the preliminary valuation may result in material adjustments to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, as well as goodwill.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the cost of the acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the close of the acquisition (in thousands):

The fair values of the assets acquired were preliminarily determined using one of three valuation approaches: market, income and cost.  The selection of a particular method for a given asset depended on the reliability of available data and the nature of the asset, among other considerations.  The market approach, which estimates the value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets, was utilized for land and in-process and finished inventory.  The income approach, which estimates the value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset, was used for certain intangible assets such as technology and patents, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and for the noncompete agreements with employees.  The projected cash flows were discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the Precimed transaction and the time value of money.  The projected cash flows for each asset considered multiple factors, including current revenue from existing customers, attrition trends, reasonable contract renewal assumptions from the perspective of a marketplace participant, and expected profit margins giving consideration to historical and expected margins.  The cost approach was used for the majority of real and personal property and raw materials inventory.  The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation or obsolescence, with specific consideration given to economic obsolescence if indicated.

Current assets and current liabilities – The fair value of current assets (except inventory) and current liabilities was assumed to approximate their carrying value as of the acquisition date due to the short-term nature of these assets/liabilities.

The fair value of the in-process and finished inventory acquired was estimated by applying a version of the market approach called the comparable sales method.  This approach estimates the fair value of the asset by calculating the potential sales generated from selling the inventory and subtracting from it the costs related to the completion and sale of that inventory and a reasonable profit allowance.  Based upon this methodology, the Company recorded the inventory acquired at fair value resulting in an increase in inventory of $5.6 million.  During the first quarter of 2008, the Company expensed as cost of sales the step-up value relating to the acquired Precimed inventory sold during 2008.  As of June 27, 2008, there was no inventory step-up value remaining to be expensed.  Raw materials inventory was valued at replacement cost.

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) - The fair value of the PP&E acquired was estimated by applying the cost approach for personal property, buildings and building improvements and the market approach for land.  The cost approach was applied by developing a replacement cost and adjusting for depreciation and obsolescence.  The value of the land acquired was derived from market prices for comparable properties.

Customer relationships – Customer relationships represent the preliminary estimated fair value of both the contractual and non-contractual customer relationships Precimed has with OEMs as of the acquisition date.  The primary customers of Precimed include Johnson & Johnson, Smith & Nephew, Stryker, Medtronic and Zimmer, some of which are also customers of Greatbatch.  These relationships were valued separately from goodwill at the amount which an independent third party would be willing to pay for these OEM relationships.  The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess-earnings method, a form of the income approach.  The Company determined that the estimated useful life of the intangible assets associated with the existing customer relationships is 20 years.  This life was based upon historical customer attrition and management’s understanding of the industry and regulatory environment.  The expected cash flows associated with these customer relationships were nominal after 20 years.

Technology and patents - Technology and patents consists of technical processes, patented and unpatented technology, manufacturing know-how and the understanding with respect to products or processes that have been developed by Precimed and that will be leveraged in current and future products.  The fair value of technology and patents acquired was determined utilizing the relief from royalty method.  The Company determined that the weighted average estimated useful life of the technology and patents is 15 years.  This life is based upon management’s estimate of the product life cycle associated with technology and patents before they will be replaced by new technologies.  The expected cash flows associated with technology and patents were nominal after 15 years.

Trademarks and tradenames – Trademarks and tradenames represent the estimated fair value of corporate and product names acquired from Precimed, which will be utilized by the Company in the future.  These included the “Precimed” corporate tradename as well as product names.  These tradenames were valued separately from goodwill at the amount which an independent third party would be willing to pay for use of these names.  The fair value of the trademarks and tradenames was determined by applying the relief from royalty method of the income approach.  The tradenames are inherently valuable as the Company believes they convey favorable perceptions about the products with which they are associated.  This in turn generates consistent and increased demand for the products, which provides the Company with greater revenues, as well as greater production and operating efficiencies.  Thus, the Company will realize larger profit margins than companies without the tradenames.  At this time, the Company intends to utilize these trademarks and tradenames for an indefinite period of time, thus these intangible assets are not being amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis.

Acquired IPR&D - Approximately $2.2 million of the purchase price represents the estimated fair value of acquired IPR&D projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use.  Accordingly, the amount was immediately expensed on the acquisition date and is not deductible for tax purposes.  The value assigned to IPR&D related to Reamer, Instrument Kit, Locking Plate and Cutting Guide projects.  These projects primarily represent the next generation of products already being sold by Precimed which incorporate new enhancements and customer modifications.  The Company expects to commercially launch these products in 2008 and 2009.  For purposes of valuing the IPR&D, the Company estimated total costs to complete the projects to be approximately $0.2 million. If the Company is not successful in completing these projects on a timely basis, future sales may be adversely affected resulting in erosion of the Company’s market share.

The fair value of these projects was determined based on the excess earnings method.  This model utilized discount rates that took into consideration the internal rate of return expected from the Precimed transaction and the risks surrounding the successful development and commercialization of each of the IPR&D projects.  The Company believes that the estimated acquired IPR&D amounts represent their fair value at the date of acquisition and do not exceed the amount an independent third party would be willing to pay for the projects.

Goodwill - The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired of $41.7 million was allocated to goodwill.  Various factors contributed to the establishment of goodwill, including: the value of Precimed’s highly trained assembled work force and management team; the expected revenue growth over time that is attributable to increased market penetration from future products and customers; and the incremental value to the Company’s IMC business from expanding and diversifying its revenues.  The goodwill acquired in connection with the Precimed acquisition was allocated to the Company’s IMC business segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

DePuy Orthopedics Chaumont, France Facility
On February 11, 2008, Precimed completed its previously announced acquisition of DePuy Orthopedics (“DePuy”) Chaumont, France manufacturing facility (the “Chaumont Facility”).  The Chaumont Facility produces hip and shoulder implants for DePuy Ireland which distributes them worldwide through various DePuy selling entities.  This transaction, which included a new four year supply agreement with DePuy, enhances Greatbatch’s and Precimed’s strategic relationship with one of the largest orthopedic companies in the world.  The addition of this facility will align Precimed closer to its orthopedic OEM customers and further extends its offerings to a full range of orthopedic implants.

This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the results of the Chaumont Facility were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The aggregate purchase price was approximately $28.7 million, consisting of the cash issued to DePuy ($27.0 million), and other direct acquisition-related costs, including financial advisory, transfer tax, legal and accounting fees ($1.7 million).  The aggregate purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired ($6.5 million inventory, $13.4 million PP&E) and liability assumed from the Chaumont Facility based on their fair values as of the close of the acquisition, with the amount exceeding the fair value recorded as goodwill ($6.0 million).  As the values of certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained, including, but not limited to, the finalization of our valuation, the final reconciliation and confirmation of tangible assets, the Company incurring direct acquisition costs in connection with this transaction and the resolution of tax positions.  Any changes to the preliminary valuation may result in material adjustments to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, as well as goodwill.

Various factors contributed to the establishment of goodwill, including: the value of the Chaumont Facility’s highly trained assembled work force; the expected revenue growth over time and the incremental value to the Company’s Orthopedics business from having the capability to manufacture joint implants; and the strategic partnership established with one of the largest orthopedic companies in the world.  Goodwill resulting from the Chaumont Facility acquisition was allocated to the Company’s IMC business segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Revolving Line of Credit - The Company has a senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $235 million revolving line of credit, which can be increased to $335 million upon the Company’s request.  The Credit Facility also contains a $15 million letter of credit subfacility and a $15 million swingline subfacility.  The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s non-realty assets including cash, accounts and notes receivable, and inventories, and has an expiration date of May 22, 2012 with a one-time option to extend to April 1, 2013 if no default has occurred.  Interest rates under the Credit Facility are, at the Company’s option, based upon the current prime rate or the LIBOR rate plus a margin that varies with the Company’s leverage ratio.  If interest is paid based upon the prime rate, the applicable margin is between minus 1.25% and 0.00%.  If interest is paid based upon the LIBOR rate, the applicable margin is between 1.00% and 2.00%.  The Company is required to pay a commitment fee between 0.125% and 0.250% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The Credit Facility contains limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, limitations on the incurrence of liens and licensing of intellectual property, limitations on investments and restrictions on certain payments.  Except to the extent paid for by common equity of Greatbatch or paid for out of cash on hand, the Credit Facility limits the amount paid for acquisitions in total to $100 million.  The restrictions on payments, among other things, limit repurchases of Greatbatch’s stock to $60 million and limits the ability of the Company to make cash payments upon conversion of CSN II.  These limitations can be waived upon the Company’s request and approval of a simple majority of the lenders.  Such waiver was obtained in order to fund the Precimed acquisition.

In addition, the Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a ratio of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00, and a total leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of not greater than 5.00 to 1.00 from May 22, 2007 through September 29, 2009 and not greater than 4.50 to 1.00 from September 30, 2009 and thereafter.

The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, a majority of the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Precimed and the Chaumont Facility, the Company borrowed $117 million under its revolving line of credit in the first quarter of 2008. The Company repaid $3.0 million under the revolving line of credit during the second quarter of 2008.  The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings as of June 27, 2008 was 5.0%, which resets based upon the six-month ($87 million), three-month ($15 million), two-month ($8 million) and one-month ($4 million) LIBOR rate.  Based upon current capital needs in connection with the new Electrochem Solutions, Inc. (“Electrochem”) facility as well as the expansion of the Company’s corporate offices, management currently does not anticipate making significant principal payments on the revolving line of credit within the next twelve months.  As of June 27, 2008, the Company had $121 million available under its revolving line of credit.

Interest Rate Swap – During the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an $80 million notional receive floating-pay fixed interest rate swap indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate that expires on July 7, 2010.  The objective of this swap is to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on $80 million of the Company’s revolving line of credit, which is indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate.  No credit risk was hedged.  The receive variable leg of the swap and the variable rate paid on the revolving line of credit bear the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and reset and pay interest on the same dates.  The Company intends to continue electing the six-month LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate on the debt.  If the Company repays the debt it intends to replace the hedged item with similarly indexed forecast cash flows.  The pay fixed leg of the swap bears an interest rate of 3.09%, which does not include the credit spread.

The Company accounts for this interest rate swap under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.  SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is used in a qualifying hedge strategy and, if so, whether the hedge is a cash flow or fair value hedge.  In order to qualify as a hedge, the Company must document the hedging strategy at its inception, including the nature of the risk being hedged and how the effectiveness of the hedge will be measured.  The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis.  If a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
 
The Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.  The Company recognizes the portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap that is considered effective as a direct charge or credit to accumulated other comprehensive income (a component of stockholders’ equity), net of tax.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value, if any, is recorded to interest expense.  Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are periodically reclassified to interest expense to offset interest expense on the hedged portion of the revolving line of credit resulting from fluctuations in the six-month LIBOR interest rate.  The fair value of the interest rate swap of $0.5 million as of June 27, 2008 is based on Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as described in SFAS No. 157 – see Note 9 and is recorded in other assets.  As of June 27, 2008, a positive fair value adjustment of $0.3 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of $0.2 million.  The portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap during the first six months of 2008 that was considered ineffective amounted to $0.05 million.  The amount recorded as an offset to interest expense during the first six months of 2008 related to the interest rate swap was $0.4 million.

Convertible Subordinated Notes - In May 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $170 million of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes, due 2013 (“CSN I”).  In March 2007, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated agreements to exchange $117.8 million of CSN I for an equivalent principal amount of a new series of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (“CSN II”) (collectively the “Exchange”) at a 5% discount.  The primary purpose of the Exchange was to eliminate the June 15, 2010 call and put option that is included in the terms of CSN I.  In connection with the Exchange, the Company issued an additional $80 million aggregate principal amount of CSN II at a price of $950 per $1,000 of principal.

The Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.5 million ($2.9 million net of tax) or $0.13 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007.  As a result of the extinguishment, the Company had to recapture the tax interest expense that was previously deducted on the extinguished notes.  This resulted in an additional current income tax liability of approximately $11.3 million, which was paid throughout 2007.  This amount was previously recorded as a non-current deferred tax liability on the balance sheet.  The following is a summary of the significant terms of CSN I and CSN II:

CSN I - The notes bear interest at 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually.  Holders may convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $40.29 per share, which is equivalent to a conversion ratio of 24.8219 shares per $1,000 of principal, subject to adjustment, before the close of business on June 15, 2013 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 4, 2003, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the $40.29 conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) subject to certain exceptions, during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 of principal for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 of principal; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events.

Beginning June 20, 2010, the Company may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.  Note holders may require the Company to repurchase their notes on June 15, 2010 or at any time prior to their maturity following a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture agreement, at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.  The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debts and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing June 15, 2010, the Company will pay additional contingent interest during any six-month interest period if the trading price of the notes for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the first day of the interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes.

CSN II - The notes bear interest at 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually.  The holders may convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $34.70 per share, which is equivalent to a conversion ratio of 28.8219 shares per $1,000 of principal.  The conversion price and the conversion ratio will adjust automatically upon certain changes to the Company’s capitalization.

The notes are convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the notes for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 of principal is less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive trading day period and the conversion rate per $1,000 of principal; (iii) the notes have been called for redemption; (iv) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the average closing price of common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the announcement of the distribution; (v) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock any form of dividend which has a per share value exceeding 5% of the price of the common stock on the day prior to such date of distribution; (vi) the Company affects a consolidation, merger, share exchange or sale of assets pursuant to which its common stock is converted to cash or other property; (vii) the period beginning 60 days prior to but excluding June 15, 2013; and (viii) certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture agreement, occur or are approved by the Board of Directors.

Conversions in connection with corporate transactions that constitute a fundamental change require the Company to pay a premium make-whole amount whereby the conversion ratio on the notes may be increased by up to 8.2 shares per $1,000 of principal.  The premium make-whole amount will be paid in shares of common stock upon any such conversion, subject to the net share settlement feature of the notes described below.

The notes contain a net share settlement feature that requires the Company to pay cash for each $1,000 of principal to be converted.  Any amounts in excess of $1,000 will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, or at the Company’s option, cash.  The Company has an irrevocable election to pay the holders in shares of its common stock, which it currently does not plan to exercise.


The notes are redeemable by the Company at any time on or after June 20, 2012, or at the option of a holder upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, as defined in the agreement, affecting the Company.  The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debts and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing June 15, 2012, the Company will pay additional contingent interest during any six-month interest period if the trading price of the notes for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the first day of the interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes.

PENSION PLANS

In connection with the Precimed and Chaumont Facility acquisitions, the Company recorded a pension liability related to defined benefit pension plans provided to non-U.S. employees of those businesses.  Under these plans, benefits accrue to employees based upon years of service, position, age and compensation.  The liability and corresponding expense related to these pension plans is based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees.  Pension expense is charged to current operating expenses.  The accumulated benefit obligation, projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets as of the acquisition date, which was also the measurement date, were $12.3 million, $14.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

 
The change in the net pension liability for the first six months of 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

       
Discount rate
    3.9 %
Expected rate of return on plan assets
    4.0 %
Salary growth
    2.6 %

The discount rate used is based on the yields of foreign government bonds plus 20 to 30 basis points to reflect the risk of investing in corporate bonds.  The expected rate of return on plan assets reflects long-term earnings expectations on existing plan assets and those contributions expected to be received during the current plan year.  In estimating that rate, appropriate consideration was given to historical returns earned by plan assets in the fund and the rates of return expected to be available for reinvestment.  Rates of return were adjusted to reflect current capital market assumptions and changes in investment allocations.  Equity securities and fixed income securities were assumed to earn a return in the range of 7% to 8% and 3% to 4%, respectively.  The long-term inflation rate was estimated to be 1.8%.  When these overall return expectations are applied to the pension plan’s target allocation, the expected rate of return is determined to be 4.0%.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually).  Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
   
SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
 
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 
-20-

 
GREATBATCH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited 

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  The degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from asset/liability to asset/liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, the type of asset/liability, whether the asset/liability is established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.  To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure.  Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, assumptions are required to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Valuation Techniques
Short-term investments available for sale - The fair value of short-term investments available for sale is obtained from an independent pricing service that utilizes multidimensional relational models with observable market data inputs to estimate fair value.  These observable market data inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.  The Company’s short-term investments available for sale are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swap - The fair value of our interest rate swap is obtained from an independent pricing service that utilizes cash flow models with observable market data inputs to estimate fair value.  These observable market data inputs include LIBOR and swap rates.  The Company’s interest rate swap is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(a) 2005 facility shutdowns and consolidations. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company announced its intent to close the Carson City, NV facility and consolidate the work performed at that facility into the Tijuana, Mexico facility.  This consolidation project was completed in the third quarter of 2007.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company announced its intent to close both the Columbia, MD facility (“Columbia Facility”) and the Fremont, CA Advanced Research Laboratory (“ARL”).  The Company also announced that the manufacturing operations at the Columbia Facility will be moved into the Tijuana Facility and that the research, development and engineering and product development functions at the Columbia Facility and at ARL will relocate to the Technology Center in Clarence, NY.  The ARL move and closure portion of this consolidation project was completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The Company ceased operations at the Columbia Facility in June 2008 and the closure is substantially complete.

The total cost for these facility consolidations were approximately $18.7 million of which $18.4 million has been incurred through June 27, 2008.  The major categories of costs include the following:

a.  
Severance and retention - $7.2 million;

This initiative is not cost savings driven but capacity driven for the commercial group.

In the second quarter of 2007, the Company announced that it will consolidate its corporate offices in Clarence, NY into its existing Research and Development center in Clarence, NY after an expansion of that facility was complete.

As a result of its acquisitions in 2007 and 2008, during the second quarter of 2008, the Company began reorganizing and consolidating various general and administrative and research and development functions throughout the organization in order to optimize those resources.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company announced that it will cease manufacturing at its facility in Suzhou, China, which was acquired from EAC in November 2007.  During the third quarter of 2008, the Company announced that it will close its manufacturing facility in Orchard Park, NY, which was acquired from Intellisensing, LLC in October 2007.  The operations at these facilities will be relocated to existing facilities of the Company which currently have excess capacity.

INCOME TAXES

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company received a nine year tax holiday (i.e. reduction in tax rate) from the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, beginning in 2009.  This resulted in a one time reduction of the Swiss deferred tax liabilities of approximately $0.9 million, which is reflected in the second quarter effective tax rate.  The Company has also negotiated a tax holiday with the Swiss federal authorities; however as this tax holiday is contingent on certain conditions that have not yet been met, no benefit was recorded.

During the second quarter of 2008, there was no change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits.  As of June 27, 2008, approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits would impact goodwill if recognized prior to December 31, 2008 (the adoption date of SFAS No. 141R).  Of the remaining approximately $0.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $0.6 million would favorably impact the effective tax rate (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized.  We are still analyzing the impact of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB SFAS No. 109, with respect to the 2008 acquisitions.  This analysis is expected to be substantially complete by year end.  The Company anticipates that the total unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change within the next twelve months due to the potentially favorable settlement of a state tax audit currently in process.  The expected benefit is estimated to be approximately $0.5 million.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such pending activities will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows, except as indicated below, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.  If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact in the period in which the ruling occurs.

As previously reported, on June 12, 2006, Enpath was named as defendant in a patent infringement action filed by Pressure Products Medical Supplies, Inc. (“Pressure Products”) in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas.  Pressure Products alleged that Enpath’s FlowGuard™ valved introducer, which has been on the market for more than three years, infringes claims in the Pressure Products patents and sought damages and injunctive relief.  Revenues from products sold that include the FlowGuard™ valved introducer were approximately $3.0 million, $2.0 million and $1.5 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Pressure Products made the same allegations against Enpath’s ViaSeal™ prototype introducer, which has not been sold.  Enpath filed an answer denying liability and a counterclaim seeking to invalidate the patents.  Trial began on June 6, 2008 and on June 12, 2008, a jury found that Enpath is infringing the Pressure Products patents, but not willfully, and awarded damages in the amount of $1.1 million, which was significantly less than what was sought.  Pressure Products filed post-trial motions to enforce the judgment and enjoin future sales of FlowGuard™ and ViaSeal™, enhanced damages and is also seeking an award of attorneys’ fees.  Enpath filed a motion to overturn the jury verdict and have the court invalidate the patents as a matter of law.  Following a hearing on those motions on July 31, 2008, the court denied Enpath’s motion to overturn the jury verdict, denied Pressure Products’ motions for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees (though the court made a limited award of attorneys’ fees incident to Enpath’s counterclaim for antitrust and patent misuse), enjoined sales of ViaSeal™, but permitted future sales of FlowGuard™ provided that

Enpath, pending any appeal, pay into an escrow fund a royalty of between $1.50 and $2.25 for each sale of a FlowGuard™ valved introducer.  Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, Enpath continues to believe that Pressure Products’ case is without merit and intends to appeal the verdict to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  During the second quarter of 2008 the Company incurred $2.9 million ($3.9 million year-to-date) of costs related to this litigation.

During 2002, a former non-medical customer commenced an action alleging that Greatbatch had used proprietary information of the customer to develop certain products.  We have meritorious defenses and are vigorously defending the matter.  The potential risk of loss is between $0.0 and $1.7 million.

Product Warranties - The Company generally warrants that its products will meet customer specifications and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship.  The Company accrues its estimated exposure to warranty claims based upon recent historical experience and other specific information as it becomes available.

Purchase Commitments – Contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.  Our purchase orders are normally based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons.  We enter into blanket orders with vendors that have preferred pricing and terms, however these orders are normally cancelable by us without penalty.  As of June 27, 2008, the total contractual obligation related to such expenditures is approximately $15.5 million and primarily relate to the construction of our new Electrochem manufacturing facility and the expansion of our corporate offices as well as material purchase commitments.  These commitments will be financed by existing cash, short-term investments or cash generated from operations.  We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts were not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.

Operating Leases - The Company is a party to various operating lease agreements for buildings, equipment and software.  Minimum future annual operating lease payments are $1.3 million for the remainder of 2008; $1.8 million in 2009; $1.4 million in 2010; $1.3 million in 2011; $1.4 million in 2012 and $3.4 million thereafter.  The Company primarily leases buildings, which accounts for the majority of the future lease payments.
