NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
(2) Change in Accounting Principle
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company elected to change the method of valuing inventories for certain U.S. businesses to the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, while in prior years, these inventories were valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. As a result of this change in accounting principle, all inventories are valued using the FIFO method. The Company believes the change is preferable as it conforms the Company’s inventory costing methods for all inventories to a single method and improves comparability with industry peers. The FIFO method also better reflects current acquisition cost of those inventories on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has applied this change in method of inventory costing retrospectively to all prior periods presented herein in accordance with accounting principles relating to accounting changes. The effect of retrospectively applying the change on the Company’s inventory costing method increased the inventory balance and reduced the accumulated deficit balance by $2,410 as of January 1, 2010. There were no tax effects for the adjustments for any periods presented below due to the fact that the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
Presented below are the effects of the change in accounting principle for inventory costs on the condensed consolidated financial statements for 2011 and 2010.

(3) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2011, the Company elected to change its costing method to the FIFO method for all inventories. The Company adopted this change in accounting principle by adjusting all prior periods presented retrospectively. The Company adjusts its excess and obsolescence reserve at least on a quarterly basis. Excess inventories are quantities of items that exceed anticipated sales or usage for a reasonable period. The Company has guidelines for calculating provisions for excess inventories based on the number of months of inventories on hand compared to anticipated sales or usage. Management uses its judgment to forecast sales or usage and to determine what constitutes a reasonable period. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consisted of the following:

(4) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver, or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company’s senior secured notes at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, per quoted market sources, was $175,548 and $187,798, respectively. The face amount of this financial instrument as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $175,000.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
On September 30, 2011, the Company had open foreign currency forward contracts, fixed price commodity contracts and an interest rate swap. These contracts are used solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
The Company conducts business internationally and therefore is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow and fair value hedges to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions and other foreign currency exposures. The currencies currently hedged by the Company include the euro, Swedish krona and Mexican peso. In certain instances, the foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other (income) expense, net. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts substantially offset gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency denominated transactions. As of September 30, 2011, the Company held foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the exposure related to the Company’s Euro-denominated and Swedish krona-denominated intercompany loans. These contracts expire on December 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a $628 loss related to euro and Swedish krona contracts. The Company also holds contracts intended to reduce exposure to the Mexican peso. In August of 2011, the Company entered into three foreign currency forward contracts related to the Mexican peso. The first contract was for $28,223 of Mexican peso equivalents and expires monthly from August 2011 to December 2011. The second contract is for $30,000 of Mexican peso equivalents and expires monthly from January 2012 to December 2012. And the third contract is for $10,000 of Mexican peso equivalents and expires monthly from January 2012 to December 2012. These contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions, and therefore the contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The Company’s expectation is that the cash flow hedges will be highly effective in the future. The effectiveness of the transactions has been and will be measured on an ongoing basis using regression analysis.
To mitigate the risk of future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, the Company entered into fixed price commodity contracts with a financial institution to fix the cost of a portion of the Company’s copper purchases. In March 2011, the Company entered into fixed price commodity contracts for 1,200 pounds of copper and covers the period from April 2011 to December 2012. In May 2011, the Company entered into two fixed price commodity contracts. The first contract was for 938 pounds of copper which covers the period from June 2011 to December 2011. The other commodity contract was for 2,000 pounds of copper and covers the period from January 2012 to December 2012. In August of 2011, the Company entered into two additional commodity contracts. The first contract was for 801 pounds of copper and covers the period from October 2011 to December 2011. The second contract was for 3,500 pounds of copper and covers the period from January 2012 through December of 2012. In September of 2011, the Company entered into an additional fixed price commodity contract. This contract was for 1,000 pounds of copper and covers the period from January 2012 to December 2012. All of these contracts represent a portion of the Company’s copper purchases. Because these contracts were executed to hedge a portion of forecasted transactions, the contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The unrealized gain or loss for the effective portion of the hedges is deferred and reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Using regression analysis, the Company has concluded that these cash flow hedges are highly effective. The effectiveness of the transactions has been and will be measured on an ongoing basis using regression analysis.
On October 4, 2010, the Company entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $45,000 to hedge its exposure to fair value fluctuations on a portion of its senior secured notes. The Swap was designated as a fair value hedge of the fixed interest rate obligation under the Company’s $175,000 9.5% senior secured notes due October 15, 2017. Under the Swap, the Company pays a variable interest rate equal to the six-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 7.19% and it receives a fixed interest rate of 9.5%. The Swap requires semi-annual settlements on April 15 and October 15, beginning on April 15, 2011. The difference between amounts to be received and paid under the Swap is recognized as a component of interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Swap reduced interest expense by $564 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The critical terms of the Swap are identical to the terms of the senior secured notes, including maturity of October 15, 2017, resulting in no hedge ineffectiveness. The unrealized gain or loss for the effective portion of the hedge is deferred and reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability, as applicable, with the offset to the carrying value of the senior secured notes.

(7) Long-Term Debt
Senior Secured Notes
On October 4, 2010, the Company issued $175,000 of senior secured notes. These senior notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9.5% and mature on October 15, 2017. The senior secured notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, beginning October 15, 2014 at 104.75%. Interest payments commenced on April 15, 2011 and are payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, thereafter. The senior secured notes indenture limits the amount of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ indebtedness, restricts certain payments and includes various other non-financial restrictive covenants. The senior secured notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing domestic restricted subsidiaries. All other restricted subsidiaries that guarantee any indebtedness of the Company or its guarantors will also guarantee the senior secured notes.
On September 20, 2010, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its $183,000 senior notes. The consent payment deadline was October 1, 2010 and the tender offer expired on October 18, 2010. For senior notes tendered before the consent payment deadline, the note holders received $1,002.50 for each $1,000.00 of principal amount of notes tendered. There was $109,733 of senior notes tendered prior to the consent payment deadline and an additional $154 tendered after the consent payment deadline but before the tender offer deadline. Holders tendering senior notes after the consent payment deadline were eligible to receive only the tender offer consideration of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of senior notes. On November 4, 2010 all senior notes which were not tendered were redeemed by the Company at par.

Credit Facilities
On November 2, 2007, the Company entered into an asset-based credit facility (the “credit facility”), which permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $100,000. In connection with the senior secured notes issuance, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) relating to the credit facility on September 20, 2010 which became effective on October 4, 2010. The Amended and Restated Agreement (i) provided certain consents necessary for the issuance of the senior secured notes, (ii) extended the expiration date of the credit facility to November 1, 2012 and (iii) granted the facility agent, for the benefit of the lenders, second priority liens and security interests in the collateral subject to first priority liens and security interests in favor of the collateral agent for the holders of the senior secured notes. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $10,000 and $0 in borrowings outstanding on this credit facility, respectively. The available borrowing capacity on this credit facility is based on eligible current assets, as defined. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had total borrowing capacity of $69,612 and $61,251, respectively, based on eligible current assets and outstanding letters of credit, as defined. The credit facility does not contain financial performance covenants which would constrain the Company’s borrowing capacity. However, restrictions do include limits on capital expenditures, operating leases, dividends and investment activities in a negative covenant which limits investment activities to $15,000 minus certain guarantees and obligations. The credit facility expires on November 1, 2012, and requires a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused balance. Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the higher of the prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon the Company’s undrawn availability, as defined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
On October 13, 2009, the Company’s majority owned consolidated subsidiary, Bolton Conductive Systems, LLC (“BCS”), entered into a master revolving note (the “Revolver”), which permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $3,000. On September 30, 2011, BCS amended the Revolver to extend the maturity date to September 28, 2012 and maintained the interest rate margin at 2.0%. The available borrowing capacity on the Revolver is based on an advance formula, as defined. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BCS had borrowing capacity of $1,410 and $1,089, respectively, based on the advance formula. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BCS had $1,278 and $742 in borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, respectively. Interest is payable monthly at the prime referenced rate plus a 2.0% margin. At September 30, 2011, the interest rate on the Revolver was 5.25%. The Company is a guarantor of BCS as it relates to the Revolver. The Revolver contains certain financial restrictive covenants. BCS violated the fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants related to the Revolver during the first quarter of 2011 and during the fourth quarter of 2010. BCS received waivers for those covenant violations. Subsequent to these violations, the fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants have been eliminated from the Revolver through its expiration.
Other Debt
BCS has an installment note. Interest on the installment note is the prime referenced rate plus a 2.25% margin. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the installment note was 5.5%. The installment note calls for monthly installment payments of principal and interest and matures in September of 2012. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the principal amount due on the installment note was $190 and $322, respectively.
On August 20, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China entered into a term loan of 4,690 Chinese yuan, which matured on August 5, 2011. On September 2, 2011, the subsidiary entered into a new term loan for 9,000 Chinese yuan which was $1,408 at September 30, 2011. The term loan matures on September 1, 2012. Interest is payable quarterly at the one-year lending rate published by The People’s Bank of China multiplied by 127.0%. At September 30, 2011, the interest rate on the term loan was 8.33%.
(8) Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. Actual weighted-average Common Shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:

Options not included in the computation of diluted net income per share to purchase 50,000 and 113,250 Common Shares at an average price of $15.73 and $12.89, respectively, per share were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These outstanding options were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their respective exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Company Common Shares.
There were 419,100 and 455,400 performance-based restricted Common Shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because not all vesting conditions were achieved as of September 30, 2011 and 2010. These shares may or may not become dilutive based on the Company’s ability to meet or exceed future earnings performance targets.
(9) Restructuring
On October 29, 2007, the Company announced restructuring initiatives to improve manufacturing efficiency and cost position by ceasing manufacturing operations at its Sarasota, Florida and Mitcheldean, United Kingdom locations. In response to the depressed conditions in the North American and European commercial and automotive vehicle markets in 2009, the Company also began restructuring initiatives in its Electronics reportable segment. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company continued restructuring initiatives within the Electronics segment which began in 2009 and recorded amounts related to its cancelled lease in Mitcheldean, United Kingdom. In connection with these initiatives, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0 and $304 in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as part of selling, general and administrative for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. These restructuring initiatives are substantially complete. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the only remaining restructuring related liability relates to the cancelled lease in Mitcheldean, United Kingdom, which the Company has accrued $1,116 and $1,117, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There have been no adjustments to the lease liability since December 31, 2010 other than the impact of foreign exchange gains. There were no restructuring activities related to the Control Devices reportable segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, workers’ compensation and product liability disputes. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.
On October 13, 2009, the Company acquired 51% membership interest in BCS. The purchase agreement provides that the Company may be required to make additional payments to the previous owners of BCS for the 51% membership interest the Company purchased based on BCS achieving financial performance targets as defined by the purchase agreement. The maximum amount of additional payments to the prior owners of BCS is $3,200 per year in 2012 and 2013 and is contingent upon BCS achieving profitability targets based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in the years 2011 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company may be required to make additional payments to BCS of approximately $500 in 2012 based on BCS achieving annual revenue targets in 2011. The Company recorded a liability of $435 which is the fair value of all the estimated future additional payments to the prior owners of BCS as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of other long-term liabilities. The purchase agreement provides the Company with the option to purchase the remaining 49% interest in BCS in 2013 at a price determined in accordance with the purchase agreement. If the Company does not exercise this option, the minority owners of BCS have the option in 2014 to purchase the Company’s 51% interest in BCS at a price determined in accordance with the purchase agreement or to jointly market BCS for sale.

As a result of an environmental phase one study performed on the Company’s facility located in Sarasota, Florida, the Company became aware of soil and groundwater contamination at the facility. The Company engaged an environmental engineering consultant that developed a remediation and monitoring plan for the site and submitted this plan to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FL DEP”) in March 2011. The soil remediation was completed in December 2010. Prior to beginning the groundwater remediation, the FL DEP has requested that the Company perform additional groundwater sampling. The Company is performing this sampling and anticipates receiving approval from the FL DEP. The Company did not incur environmental remediation expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $1,305 related to the remediation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Product Warranty and Recall
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates. These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. Product warranty and recall is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(11) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company had a single defined benefit pension plan that covered certain former employees in the United Kingdom. As a result of placing Stoneridge Pollak Limited (“SPL”) into administration during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as described in Note 13, the Company settled the defined benefit pension plan.
Long-Term Cash Incentive Plans
In March 2009, the Company adopted the Stoneridge, Inc. Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (“LTCIP”) and granted awards to certain officers and key employees. For 2009, the awards under the LTCIP provide recipients with the right to receive cash three years from the date of grant depending on the Company’s actual earnings per share performance for a performance period comprised of 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. The Company will record an accrual for an award to be paid in the period earned based on anticipated achievement of the performance goal. If the participant voluntarily terminates employment or is discharged for cause, as defined in the LTCIP, the award will be forfeited. In May 2009, the LTCIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Company has not recorded an accrual for these awards granted under the LTCIP at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 as the achievement of the performance goal is not considered probable at this time.
For 2010, the awards under the LTCIP provide recipients with the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of a specified number of Common Shares, without par value, of the Company (“Phantom Shares”) three years from the date of grant depending on the Company’s actual earnings per share performance for each fiscal year of 2010, 2011 and 2012 within the performance period. The Company will record an accrual based on the fair market value of the Phantom Shares for an award to be paid in the period earned based on anticipated achievement of the performance goals. If the participant voluntarily terminates employment or is discharged for cause, as defined in the LTCIP, the award will be forfeited. The Company recorded an accrual of $154 and $184 for these awards granted under the LTCIP at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of other long-term liabilities.
There were no awards granted under the LTCIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $3,378, or 24.9% and $1,217, or 15.0% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company is in a cumulative loss position and provides a valuation allowance offsetting federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to that same period for 2010 was attributable to lower earnings from our PST Eletrônica S.A. (“PST”) joint venture that was partially offset by an increase in tax due to the improved financial performance of the European operations. The increase in tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to that same period for 2010 was attributable to the improved financial performance of the European operations as well as increased production volumes at our Mexican facilities. Additionally, as a result of placing SPL into administration, as described in Note 13, the Company recognized a one-time tax benefit of $1,170 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from the reversal of a deferred tax liability, related to employee benefits, that were previously included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity.
During the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company undertook a secondary offering. As a result of the secondary offering a substantial change in the Company’s ownership occurred and the Company likely experienced an ownership change pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is in the process with its advisors of evaluating the secondary offering and the potential impact, if any, on our ability to fully utilize net operating loss and research credit carry forwards. If it is ultimately determined that the Company did experience an ownership change, there would not be an impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 or the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to the Company being in a valuation allowance position.
(13) SPL Administration
On February 23, 2010, the Company placed its wholly owned subsidiary, SPL into administration (a structured bankruptcy) in the United Kingdom. The Company had previously ceased operations at the facility as of December 2008 as part of the restructuring initiatives announced on October 29, 2007, as described in Note 9. The remaining assets and customer contracts of SPL were transferred to other subsidiaries of the Company subsequent to SPL filing for administration. As a result of placing SPL into administration the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $3,423 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This gain was primarily related to the reversal of the cumulative translation adjustment account (“CTA”) and deferred tax liabilities, which had previously been included as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity. The net gain of approximately $2,253, primarily due to reversing the CTA balance is included as a component of other (income) expense, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The benefit from reversing the deferred tax liabilities, primarily employee benefit related of approximately $1,170, is included as a component of benefit from income taxes on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as described in Note 12.
(14) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the president and chief executive officer.
The Company has two reportable segments: Electronics and Control Devices. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated based on sharing similar economic characteristics. Other aggregation factors include the nature of the products offered and management and oversight responsibilities. The Electronics reportable segment produces electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment produces electronic and electromechanical switches and control actuation devices and sensors.
The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s December 31, 2010 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on net sales from external customers, capital expenditures and income before income taxes. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2011, the Company elected to change its method of valuing inventories for certain U.S. businesses to the FIFO method, while in prior years, these inventories were valued using LIFO. As a result of this change, all inventories are valued using the FIFO method. Segment information has been retrospectively adjusted for prior periods to reflect the change in accounting principle.

(16) New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of comprehensive income. These changes give an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements; the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity was eliminated. The items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no changes were made to the calculation and presentation of earnings per share. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. Management is currently evaluating these changes to determine which option will be chosen for the presentation of comprehensive income. Other than the change in presentation, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued changes to the testing of goodwill for impairment. These changes provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing two-step quantitative impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, go directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. These changes become effective for the Company for any goodwill impairment test performed on January 1, 2012 or later, although early adoption is permitted. Management performs a review of the Company’s goodwill in the fourth quarter of each calendar year and plans to early adopt these changes effective for its review of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2011. As these changes should not affect the outcome of the impairment analysis of a reporting unit, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The following Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”). This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
We are a global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic components, modules and systems for the commercial, automotive, agricultural and off-highway vehicle markets.
We recognized net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $4.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.
Our third quarter 2011 results were positively affected by improvements in the North American and European commercial vehicle markets. Production volumes in the North American automotive vehicle market were relatively consistent for the third quarter of 2011 with the third quarter of 2010. The commercial vehicle market production volumes in North America improved by 55.9% during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year third quarter, which resulted in increased net sales of approximately $16.6 million, primarily within our Electronics segment. Our net sales were also favorably affected by increased European commercial vehicle production volumes of 28.1% during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the prior year third quarter, which had a positive effect on our net sales of approximately $6.3 million, principally within the Electronics segment. Our 2011 third quarter net sales were further favorably affected by approximately $5.8 million, primarily within the Electronics segment, due to production volume increases within the agricultural vehicle market. Our net sales to the agricultural vehicle market as a percentage of total net sales increased from 15.5% for the third quarter of 2010 to 16.0% for the third quarter of 2011. The automotive vehicle market production volume had a positive effect on our North American automotive vehicle market net sales of approximately $0.7 million, primarily within our Control Devices segment. Overall net sales were favorably affected by foreign currency exchange rates, primarily at our European Electronics operations, of approximately $3.3 million during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the third quarter of 2010.
Negatively affecting our third quarter 2011 gross margin were significant fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices, primarily the Mexican peso and copper. The fluctuations in these foreign exchange rates and commodity prices negatively impacted our results by approximately $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, during the current quarter. Also, negatively affecting our current quarter results were operating inefficiencies experienced in our North American wiring locations within our Electronics segment which required us to add headcount and incur overtime and premium freight costs. As a result, our gross margin percentage decreased from 22.8% for the third quarter of 2010 to 19.1% for the third quarter of 2011. We are executing plans including reducing direct labor headcount and developing more efficient manufacturing processes to address these operating inefficiencies. These plans have reduced, and we expect them to continue to reduce, these types of costs in the future.
Effective January 1, 2011, we elected to change our method of valuing inventories for certain U.S. businesses to the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, while in prior years, these inventories were valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. As a result of this change, all inventories are valued using the FIFO method. We believe the change is preferable as it conforms the inventory costing methods for all of our inventories to a single method and improves comparability with our industry peers. The FIFO method also better reflects current acquisition cost of those inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. All prior periods presented herein have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively and conform to the current costing methodology. For the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, the effect of the change on our inventory costing method was a decrease in net income of $0.1 million and an increase of $0.6 million, respectively, after the change in accounting principle was applied to prior periods.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased from $31.0 million for the third quarter of 2010 to $30.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. This $0.5 million, or 1.6% decrease in SG&A, was due to reduced compensation and compensation related expenses incurred in the current quarter of $1.7 million, excluding product development compensation. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in product development costs of $0.6 million compared to the prior year quarter due to our support of new product launches by our customers.
Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were also favorably affected by the wind down of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stoneridge Pollak Limited (“SPL”), located in Mitcheldean, United Kingdom. On February 23, 2010, we placed SPL into administration (a structured bankruptcy) in the United Kingdom. We had previously ceased SPL’s manufacturing operations in December of 2008, as part of the restructuring initiatives announced in October 2007. The remaining assets and customer contracts of SPL were transferred to our other subsidiaries subsequent to SPL filing for administration. We recognized a net gain within other (income) expense, net of approximately $2.3 million, primarily from the reversal of the cumulative translation adjustment account, which had previously been included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity. In addition, we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.2 million from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities; primarily employee benefit related which were also previously included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we maintained a cash and equivalents balance of $43.2 million and $72.0 million, respectively. Our cash and equivalents balance declined during the current quarter as a result of increased working capital requirements including higher inventory levels at our North American wiring locations due to increased production, operating inefficiencies and the start-up of a new facility in Mexico. As discussed in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we had $10.0 million in borrowings outstanding on our asset-based credit facility at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had total borrowing capacity of $69.6 million and $61.3 million, respectively.
Outlook
The North American automotive vehicle market has recovered significantly from recent levels, which has had a favorable effect on our Control Devices segment’s results. North American automotive vehicle production was 11.9 million units for 2010. For 2011, this production volume is forecasted to be in the range of 12.7 million to 12.9 million units. If this forecasted increase in production volume occurs, it will favorably affect our Control Devices segment.
The North American and European commercial vehicle markets that we serve also recovered during the first nine months of 2011. Production levels in the commercial vehicle market are expected to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2011. If these forecasted increases in production volumes occur, they will favorably affect our Electronics segment.
Agricultural vehicle production increased for the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the first nine months of 2010, which favorably affected both our Electronics and Control Devices segments. We believe that this market will continue to improve during the remainder of 2011.
Our results for the remainder of 2011 could be unfavorably affected by increased commodity prices, specifically copper. Copper prices increased during 2010 and have continued to fluctuate in 2011. We have entered into fixed price commodity contracts effective March, May and September of 2011 for a portion of our 2011 copper purchases and for a portion of our 2012 copper purchases. In addition, a portion of our 2011 sales are subject to copper surcharge billings that will mitigate this increase in our raw material costs. Our 2011 results could also be unfavorably affected by foreign currency exchange rates. We have significant foreign denominated transaction exposure in certain locations, especially in Mexico and Sweden. We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts effective August 2011 to reduce exposure related to the Mexican peso.
Results of Operations
We are primarily organized by markets served and products produced. Under this organizational structure, our operations have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Electronics and Control Devices. The Electronics reportable segment includes results of operations that design and manufacture electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment includes results of operations that design and manufacture sensors, switches, valves and actuators.

Our Electronics segment was positively affected by increased volume in our served markets by approximately $27.9 million for the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year third quarter. The increase in net sales for our Electronics segment was primarily due to volume increases in our North American and European commercial vehicle products. Commercial vehicle market production volumes in North America and Europe increased by 55.9% and 28.1%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year third quarter. The increase in North American and European commercial vehicle production positively affected net sales in our Electronics segment for the third quarter of 2011 by approximately $15.9 million, or 32.8% and $6.2 million, or 24.9%, respectively. Net sales within our Electronics segment were also favorably affected by approximately $5.3 million as a result of production volume increases in the agricultural vehicle market during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year third quarter. In addition, the Electronics segment net sales were favorably affected by foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the third quarter of 2010.
Our Control Devices segment was positively affected by increased volume in our served markets by approximately $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the prior year third quarter. Volume increases within the commercial vehicle market of our Control Devices segment increased net sales for the third quarter of 2011 by approximately $0.8 million, or 4.0%, when compared to the prior year third quarter. In addition, our Control Devices net sales were each approximately $0.6 million higher for the third quarter of 2011, when compared to the third quarter of 2010, as a result of production volume increases within the automotive and agricultural vehicle markets.

The North American geographic location consists of the results of our operations in the United States and Mexico.
The increase in North American net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales volume in our North American commercial vehicle, agricultural and automotive vehicle markets. These increased volume levels had a positive effect on our net sales for the third quarter of 2011 of $16.6 million, $5.8 million and $0.7 million for our North American agricultural, commercial and automotive vehicle markets, respectively. Our increase in net sales outside North America was primarily due to increased sales of European commercial vehicle market products, which had a positive effect on our net sales for the third quarter of 2011 of approximately $6.3 million. In addition, our third quarter 2011 net sales outside of North America were positively affected by foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $3.3 million.
