CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 3, 2007, the consolidated condensed
statements of earnings and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the periods
ended March 3, 2007, and March 4, 2006, have been prepared by the Company without audit. The
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the Companys December 2,
2006 annual report on Form 10-K (2006 Form 10-K). The December 2, 2006 consolidated balance
sheet data was derived from the Companys year-end audited financial statements as presented in
the 2006 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of
operations for the period ended March 3, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
2. |
|
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which establishes the accounting for stock-based
awards. The Company issues stock option awards, restricted share unit awards and restricted
stock to non-employee directors under its stock-based incentive plans. The key provisions of
the Companys stock-based incentive plans are described in Note P of the Companys consolidated
financial statements included in the 2006 Form 10-K.
The Company recorded pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of $638 and $411 and
related tax benefits of $212 and $146 for the three months ended March 3, 2007 and March 4,
2006, respectively. The Company also recorded $272 and $221 in pre-tax compensation expense
related to its restricted share units for the three months ended March 3, 2007 and March 4,
2006, respectively. The tax benefits associated with tax deductions that exceed the amount of
compensation expense recognized in the financial statements related to stock-based compensation
were $1,823 and $903 for the three months ended March 3, 2007 and March 4, 2006.

At March 3, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable was
$24,824 and $25,208, respectively.
The weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant for options granted during the
three-month periods of 2007 and 2006 was $9.28 and $9.32, respectively. The fair value of
each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions. The expected life selected for options granted
during the three-month periods represents the period of time that the options are expected to be
outstanding based on historical data of option holder exercise and termination behavior.
Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of the Companys monthly stock
closing prices over a period equal to the expected life of each option grant. The risk-free
interest rate was selected based on yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a
remaining term approximately equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

During February 2007, the Company acquired a synthetic fibers filtration business from Newton
Tool & Mfg. Company, Inc., a privately-owned engineering and machining company based in
Swedesboro, New Jersey, for $6,577 in cash, including acquisition expenses. The synthetic
fibers filtration business, including all of the related production equipment, will be moved
into the Companys operations in Houston, Texas, and Shelby, North Carolina. The business is
included in the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment from the date of acquisition.
A preliminary allocation of the initial purchase price for the acquisition has been made to
major categories of assets and liabilities. The $689 excess of the initial purchase price over
the preliminary estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired was recorded as goodwill. Other acquired intangibles included noncompete agreements,
preliminarily valued at $100, and customer relationships, preliminarily valued at $2,100, which
will be initially amortized on a straight-line basis over three years and thirteen years,
respectively. The preliminary allocation will be finalized when the Company completes an
independent appraisal of the assets acquired and finalizes the purchase price with the sellers.
The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation during fiscal 2007. The
acquisition is not material to the results of the Company.
As discussed in the 2006 Form 10-K, on November 1, 2005, the Company acquired Martin Kurz & Co.,
Inc. (MKI), a privately-owned Mineola, New York, manufacturer of sintered porous metal laminates
used in screening and filtration products for a wide array of industries for approximately
$24,621 net of cash received, including acquisition expenses. During the first quarter 2006,
the Company paid an additional $206 related to a working capital adjustment. MKI is included in
the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment from the date of acquisition. Allocation of the
final purchase price to major categories of assets and liabilities for MKI was finalized during
fiscal 2006.

|
|
The Company has provided letters of credit totaling approximately $25,694 to various government
agencies, primarily related to industrial revenue bonds, and to insurance companies and other
entities in support of its obligations. The Company believes that no payments will be required
resulting from these accommodation obligations. |
|
|
|
In the ordinary course of business, the Company also provides routine indemnifications and
other guarantees whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. The
Company does not believe these will have a material impact on the results of operations or
financial condition of the Company. |
|
|
Warranties are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and as charges to current expense
for estimated normal warranty costs and, if applicable, for specific performance issues known to
exist on products already sold. The expenses estimated to be incurred are provided at the time
of sale and adjusted as needed, based primarily upon experience. |

8. RETIREMENT BENEFITS (Continued)
|
|
The Companys policy is to contribute to the qualified U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans at least
the minimum amount required by applicable laws and regulations, to contribute to the
non-qualified plan when required for benefit payments and to contribute to the postretirement
benefit plan an amount equal to the benefit payments. There is no minimum required contribution
for the U.S. pension plans for 2007. The Company from time to time makes contributions in
excess of the minimum amount required as economic conditions warrant. The Company has not
determined whether it will make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. qualified plan in 2007;
however, it does expect to contribute $279 to the U.S. non-qualified plan, $534 to the non-U.S.
plan and $279 to the postretirement benefit plan to pay benefits during 2007. |
9. CONTINGENCIES
|
|
The Company is involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of business.
Additionally, the Company is party to various proceedings relating to environmental issues. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or other responsible state agencies have
designated the Company as a potentially responsible party (PRP), along with other companies, in
remedial activities for the cleanup of waste sites under the federal Superfund statute. |
|
|
|
Although it is not certain what future environmental claims, if any, may be asserted, the
Company currently believes that its potential liability for known environmental matters does not
exceed its present accrual of $50. However, environmental and related remediation costs are
difficult to quantify for a number of reasons, including the number of parties involved, the
difficulty in determining the extent of the contamination at issue, the difficulty in
determining the nature and extent of contamination, the length of time remediation may require,
the complexity of the environmental regulation and the continuing advancement of remediation
technology. Applicable federal law may impose joint and several liability on each PRP for the
cleanup. |
|
|
|
It is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that additional
liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal or environmental issues, are not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or consolidated results of
operations. |
|
|
|
In the event of a change in control of the Company, termination benefits are likely to be
required for certain executive officers and other key employees. |
10. SEGMENT DATA

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
|
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). The statement provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in
earnings. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Companys fiscal year 2008. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R) (SFAS 158). This statement requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status
of defined benefit postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial
position and to recognize changes in the funded status in comprehensive income in the year in
which the changes occur. SFAS 158 also requires measurement of the funded status of a plan as
of the date of the statement of financial position. SFAS 158 is effective for recognition of
the funded status of the benefit plans for the Companys fiscal year 2007 and is effective for
the measurement date provisions for fiscal year 2009. |

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 158 on its consolidated financial
statements. However, based on the Companys funded status as of year-end 2006, the adoption of
SFAS 158 would decrease total shareholders equity by approximately $14,000, net of deferred
tax. The ultimate amounts recorded are dependent on a number of factors, including the discount
rate in effect at the next measurement date, the actual rate of return on pension assets for
2007 and the tax effects of the adjustment upon adoption. Changes in those factors as well as
any funding in 2007 could increase or decrease the expected impact of implementing SFAS 158 on
the Companys consolidated financial statements at year-end 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
will be effective for the Companys fiscal year 2008. Adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements, although additional
disclosures may be required.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48). The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes, and will be effective for the Companys fiscal year 2008. FIN 48 prescribes
guidance for recognizing, measuring, reporting and disclosing a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the effects FIN 48 will have
on its financial statements.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the end of the Companys first fiscal quarter, on March 5, 2007, the Company
acquired an 80% ownership share in Sinfa SA, a manufacturer of automotive and heavy-duty engine
filters based in Casablanca, Morocco, for approximately $12,000 in cash. The acquisition will
be included in the Companys Engine/Mobile Filtration segment from the date of acquisition.
Allocation of the purchase price will be made to major categories of assets and liabilities once
the purchase price and an independent appraisal of the acquired assets are finalized, which is
expected to occur during fiscal 2007.

The Companys reported diluted earnings per share increased 3.2% to $0.32 for the first
quarter of 2007 and net earnings were $16,373,000 compared to $16,201,000 for the same quarter in
2006. Sales of $209,530,000 for the first three months of 2007 were 1.7% lower than $213,183,000
reported for first quarter 2006. As expected, international sales increased in the quarter due to
strong demand for specialty filtration products and for heavy-duty filters sold through aftermarket
distribution. However, the Company did not expect the slowdown in domestic sales orders that it
experienced during the first quarter related to customer requested shipping delays, a slowing in
truck and rail freight traffic in North America, partially due to weather, and a snowstorm which
closed one of its heavy-duty manufacturing plants for several days. Sales from acquisitions
completed since the first quarter of 2006 added approximately $2.5 million to first quarter 2007
sales. Operating profit decreased 8.9% to $23,581,000 for first quarter 2007 compared to
$25,873,000 for 2006. Fluctuations in foreign currencies did not have a material impact on sales
or profits in either the 2007 or the 2006 quarter.
During February 2007, the Company acquired the synthetic fibers filtration business from the Newton
Tool & Mfg. Company, Inc. for approximately $6.6 million. The business will be moved into existing
facilities within the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment. The preliminary allocation of
Page 15

the initial purchase price has been made to the fair value of acquired assets with the excess of
purchase price recorded as goodwill. The allocation will be finalized during fiscal year 2007 when
the Company completes an appraisal and finalizes the purchase price. The acquisition did not have
a material effect on the results of the first quarter, but is expected to be accretive in 2007.
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2007, the Company announced the acquisition of an 80%
majority ownership share in Sinfa SA, a manufacturer of automotive and heavy-duty engine filters
based in Casablanca, Morocco, for approximately $12 million. The acquisition is expected to be
accretive in 2007 and will be included in the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FIRST QUARTER OF 2007 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER OF 2006.
SALES
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segments 2007 first quarter sales increased 6.2% to $96,696,000 from
$91,032,000 in the first quarter of 2006 with growth across all major market segments, both
domestically and internationally. The growth was not as strong as the Company expected due to a
softening in hauled tonnage in North America. Market demand for heavy-duty filter products from
traditional aftermarket and OEM dealer customers remains solid, as does product demand from
railroad filter customers. The Company expects product demand to increase for the rest of 2007 and
that the rate of growth during the remainder of fiscal 2007 will be stronger than the increase
reported for the first quarter. The Companys operations in China relocated to a larger
manufacturing, warehouse and technical center complex during December 2006 and posted a 20% sales
increase during the first quarter 2007 compared to the 2006 quarter. The double-digit sales growth
at the Companys Chinese operations is expected to continue throughout 2007. The Company also
relocated its manufacturing facility in Mexico during December 2006 from Mexico City to Queretero
resulting in reduced production and sales for the quarter. This is expected to reverse during the
remainder of 2007.
The Companys Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment recorded a 6.3% decrease in sales to
$96,239,000 for the 2007 quarter from $102,656,000 for the 2006 first quarter. Acquisitions made
since the first quarter of 2006 increased 2007 first quarter sales by approximately $2.2 million.
Sales grew strongly in several specialty filtration markets, including process liquid filters,
systems and filter cartridges for the aviation fuel and defense sectors, sand control filters used
in off-shore oil and gas drilling, dust collector cartridges, waste water filtration and rainwater
run-off systems. Sales levels in the 2007 quarter were lower for plastic and polymer fiber and
resin applications, environmental filtration equipment and HVAC filters used in industrial,
commercial and residential applications. Based on order demand and sales backlog, the Company
expects significant improvement during the remainder of fiscal year 2007 for filters used by resin
and fiber manufacturers compared to 2007s first quarter. Unexpected delays in shipping and
installation of several larger filtration systems near the end of first quarter 2007 are expected
to become sales in second quarter 2007. Lower HVAC sales are due in part to restructuring
activities, continued lower filter usage in automobile and automotive parts manufacturing plants
and production issues in the second half of 2006 that lingered into the first quarter.
Additionally, this segments first quarter was
impacted by the 2006 loss of a $10 million annual sales contract with Electronic Data Systems
Corporation (EDS) who had refused to pay amounts owed to the Company. The Company terminated this
contract during the second quarter of 2006. Approximately $2.8 million of sales were reported in
the first quarter of 2006 related to this contract. The Company expects HVAC sales volume to
increase over the next quarters as the prime cooling season begins.
The Packaging segment first quarter 2007 sales were $16,595,000 compared to $19,495,000 in the
first quarter of 2006. Sales were impacted in 2007 by lower demand for flat sheet metal decorating
Page 16

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
and confectionery packaging. The first quarter is normally this segments smallest. The Company
believes that the reported sales decline for the first three months of 2007 is not indicative of
performance during the next three quarters. Several large consumer product customers took fewer
products than anticipated during the quarter; however, the Company expects increased shipments to
these customers as the year progresses.
OPERATING PROFIT
Operating profit for the first quarter of 2007 was $23,581,000 compared to $25,873,000 in 2006, an
8.9% decrease. Operating margin was 11.3% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to 12.1% for the
2006 quarter. The lower operating profit resulted primarily from lower sales volume.
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segment recorded an operating profit increase in first quarter 2007 of
6.3% compared to first quarter 2006. This increase resulted primarily from sales volume growth.
The segments operating margin of 21.0% was the same as that of the first quarter of 2006.
Although the Company expects operating margins to improve over the remainder of the fiscal year,
margins on international sales, which are expected to grow faster than domestic sales, tend to be
lower than on domestic sales.
The Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment reported operating profit of $2,874,000 in first
quarter 2007 compared to $5,485,000 in first quarter 2006. Overall operating profit declined due
to lower sales of plastic and polymer fiber and resin filters and environmental equipment sales,
which are normally a higher than average gross margin product, lower HVAC filter sales and reduced
utilization of the segments production facilities for HVAC products. The segments operating
margin was 3.0% in 2007 compared to 5.3% in the same 2006 quarter. The Company expects the margins
to improve over the next quarters and to be between 7% and 8% for the fiscal year.
As part of the Companys three-year restructuring program in its HVAC operations, the Company
signed a lease in January 2007 to open an HVAC manufacturing plant in Pittston, Pennsylvania to
serve its customers in the Northeast. The facility is expected to be in production by the end of
the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Expenses related to the restructuring plan were insignificant
during the first quarter of 2007. The Company anticipates incurring approximately $2.1 million in
expenses, mainly in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007 and realizing approximately $3.4
million in cost reductions mainly in the third and fourth quarters of 2007. Therefore, the net
benefit for 2007 is estimated to be $1.3 million. The Company expects operating margins in the
Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment to reach an overall 10% by the end of this three-year
restructuring plan. The program continues to be on schedule.
The Packaging segments operating profit in the 2007 quarter was $430,000 compared to $1,315,000 in
the first quarter of 2006. Operating margin of 2.6% was lower than 6.7% reported for the first
quarter of 2006 primarily due to lower sales volumes and unused capacity during the quarter. The
first quarter of 2006 sales volume was higher than an average first quarter for this segment and
resulted in higher margins in 2006. The Company does not believe the first quarter 2007 margins
are indicative of performance in future quarters and expects improvement.

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE)
Net other income for the 2007 quarter of $261,000 compared to net other expense of $41,000 for the
same quarter of 2006. The most significant change from the 2006 quarter relates to $374,000 of
increased interest income due to higher investment balances than during the first three months of
2006.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Earnings before income taxes and minority interests for the first quarter of 2007 totaled
$23,842,000 compared to $25,832,000 in the comparable quarter last year. The provision for income
taxes in 2007 was $7,418,000 compared to $9,520,000 in 2006. During the first quarter 2007, the
Company recognized a cumulative tax benefit of $500,000 from the Research and Experimentation Tax
Credit extension that Congress passed in December 2006. This lowered the effective rate for the
quarter approximately two percentage points to 31.1% in 2007 compared to 36.9% in the same quarter
of 2006. Interest income from increased tax-exempt investments and faster profit growth in
international operations with lower tax rates than in the U.S. also contributed to a lower tax
rate. The effective tax rate for first quarter 2006 was higher due to changes in the deductibility
of certain expenses. The Company expects that its overall effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 will
be approximately 34.0% to 34.5%.
NET EARNINGS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net earnings in the first quarter of 2007 were $16,373,000, or $0.32 per share on a diluted basis,
compared to the 2006 first quarter of $16,201,000, or $0.31 per share on a diluted basis.
Stock-based compensation reduced earnings per share by $0.01 in the 2007 quarter compared to less
than $0.01 in the 2006 first quarter. Diluted average shares outstanding were 51,955,610 at the
end of the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 1.0% from the average of 52,498,939 for the 2006
quarter. The decrease was due primarily to 1,000,000 shares repurchased in fiscal year 2006 under
the Companys $150 million share repurchase authorization.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys financial position remains strong, with significant cash reserves at March 3, 2007.
Cash and short-term investments of $70,488,000 increased over $9 million from $61,246,000 at fiscal
year-end 2006. Short-term investments primarily represent investments in variable rate notes and
auction rate securities with ratings of AA or above. At the end of the first quarter 2007 compared
to fiscal year-end 2006, accounts receivable decreased by $9,948,000 primarily due to sales volume
and normal fluctuations in collection activity. Inventories increased $6,882,000 from the year-end
level due primarily to inventory requirements for increased shipments expected for the second
quarter of 2007. The current ratio at the end of the first quarter was 3.4 compared to 3.2 at the
end of fiscal 2006.
Long-term debt of $15,933,000 at March 3, 2007 relates principally to industrial revenue bonds and
is largely unchanged from year-end 2006. Related principal payments in 2007 will be approximately
$57,000. There were no borrowings at the end of the first quarter 2007 on a $165 million
multicurrency revolving credit facility. The credit facility also includes a $40 million letter of
credit line subline, against which $8,491,000 had been issued at the end of the first quarter of
2007. The Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its debt agreements throughout
the first quarter 2007. The ratio of total debt to total capitalization, defined as long-term debt
plus total
Page 18
MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
shareholders equity, was 2.8% at the end of the 2007 first quarter compared to the
year-end 2006 level of 2.9%. The Company had 51,280,320 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 3, 2007
compared to 51,082,083 shares outstanding at fiscal year-end 2006.
Cash generated by operating activities increased $18,233,000 to $23,953,000 for the three-month
2007 period compared to $5,720,000 for the same period in the prior year, mainly due to decreased
levels of accounts receivable and lower purchases of short-term investments compared to the year
ago quarter. For the three-month period of 2007, cash flows for investing activities of
$14,488,000 were higher than the 2006 amount of $3,104,000 for the same period primarily due to a
$6,577,000 business acquisition and $7,832,000 spending on plant asset additions. During fiscal
2007, the Company expects to continue to invest more in assets than in the prior year partly due to
the beginning phase of its three-year restructuring program in the Industrial/Environmental
Filtration segment. Cash flows used in financing activities in the three-month 2007 period were
consistent with the level of first quarter 2006 and included $3,718,000 used for dividend payments.
The Company believes that its current operations will continue to generate cash and sufficient
lines of credit remain available to fund current operating needs, pay dividends, fund planned
capital expenditures, provide for interest payments and required principal payments related to its
debt agreements, repurchase Company stock and fund acquisitions.
As discussed in the 2006 Form 10-K, as a part of the HVAC restructuring strategy the Company plans
to invest approximately $22 million, primarily in new facilities and state-of-the-art production
equipment, and to spend $4 million to restructure current facilities over three years. This is
anticipated to result in an improvement in operating profit of $14 million annually by the end of
three years. The goal is to have the Companys HVAC operations become the lowest delivered cost
and most productive HVAC filtration operation in the industry and for operating margins to reach
10%.
In addition, the Company expects to continue to use future additional cash flow for dividends,
capital expenditures, acquisitions and repurchases of Company stock. Capital expenditures in
fiscal year 2007 are expected to be approximately $40 million to $45 million and will be used
primarily for normal facility maintenance and improvements, expansion of manufacturing and
technical facilities, productivity improvements, the HVAC restructuring program, new products and
filter media development. Capital spending in fiscal 2007 related to the restructuring program is
anticipated to be approximately $15 million. Future repurchases of Company stock under the
remaining authorized amount of $110.6 million will depend on cash flow requirements for internal
growth (including working capital requirements), capital expenditures, acquisitions and the current
market price of the Companys common stock. The Company has no material long-term purchase
commitments. The Company is committed to restructuring its HVAC operations as discussed in the
previous paragraph. Although no significant long-term purchase commitments were signed as of
quarter-end, approximately $3,000,000 of equipment related to the restructuring was on order. The
Company enters into purchase obligations with suppliers on a short-term basis in the normal course
of business.

The Companys strategy includes actively reviewing possible acquisitions. Any such acquisitions
may affect operating cash flows and may require changes in the Companys debt and capitalization.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Companys off-balance sheet arrangements relate to various operating leases. The Company had
no significant derivative, swap, hedge, variable interest entity or special purpose entity
agreements during 2007 or 2006.
OTHER MATTERS
Market Risk
The Companys interest expense on long-term debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In
addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect assets, liabilities and commitments
that are to be settled in cash and are denominated in foreign currencies. Market risks are also
discussed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K in Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. There have been no material changes to the disclosure regarding market risk set forth in
the 2006 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying
them, are disclosed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no material changes in the Companys
critical accounting policies set forth in the 2006 Form 10-K. These policies have been
consistently applied in all material respects. While the estimates and judgments associated with
the application of these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, the
Company believes the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate
in the circumstances.
Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements
A discussion of recent relevant accounting pronouncements is included in Note 11 to the
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements on pages 13 and 14 of this Form 10-Q.
Outlook
Sales growth and margin improvement is expected for the Company overall for the remainder of 2007
with international sales growth expected to continue at a rate higher than the Companys domestic
growth rate. The Company also expects delivery of a nanofiber manufacturing line in second quarter
2007 and anticipates having that line in production later in the year. The
Page 20

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

development of this technology will provide additional sales and cost reduction opportunities for
the Companys filter product lines. The Company believes it will post record sales and profits for
the 15th consecutive year in fiscal 2007 and anticipates diluted earnings per share for
2007 will be in the $1.67 to $1.77 range. This range includes expense for stock-based compensation
of approximately $0.05 for 2007 compared to $0.02 per share for fiscal 2006 and the cost and
benefits for the Industrial/Environmental Filtration restructuring program as discussed earlier.
For the remainder of the year, emphasis on cost reductions and price increases to customers within
each business unit are expected to offset anticipated increased costs for energy and purchased
materials, primarily metal and petroleum-based products, freight, energy and employee benefits.
These costs for the Company may change significantly based on future changes in the U.S. and world
economies. While the Company fully anticipates that sales and profits will improve as a result of
sales initiatives and cost reductions, the Company has contingency plans to reduce discretionary
spending if necessary.
Engine/Mobile Filtration segment sales growth and increased operating profits at higher levels
during the remainder of fiscal 2007 than it recorded in the first quarter 2007 are expected as
product demand for aftermarket heavy-duty filtration products remains solid and the slowdown in
freight transport experienced in first quarter is not anticipated to continue. Also, growth is
expected due to the Sinfa SA acquisition, to new product introductions and from sales and marketing
initiatives, including growth in sales to OEM dealers and increased sales of off-road filter
applications for construction, mining and agricultural equipment. Since the Company focuses on the
after-market maintenance filter sale, the new emissions regulations for heavy-duty trucks are not
expected to have a material impact on sales.
Sales growth for the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment is also expected primarily due to
continued growth in sales of specialty process liquid filters and as a result of the HVAC
restructuring strategy. The Company expects to begin manufacturing dust collector cartridges and
filters used in oil drilling and fiber resin manufacturing in its plant in China later in fiscal
2007. The Company also remains optimistic that there will be a continued increase in demand for
filtration systems sold into the capital goods markets and for filters sold into the oil and gas
market and for plastic and polymer applications
The Company expects to continue to make capital investments to improve productivity, increase
manufacturing and distribution capacity, develop new filter media and products and implement new
enterprise planning systems. It also continues to assess acquisition opportunities, primarily in
related filtration businesses. It is expected that these acquisitions, if completed, would expand
the Companys market base, distribution coverage or product offerings.

Part I Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
The information required hereunder is set forth on Page 20 of the Quarterly Report under
the captions Managements Discussion and Analysis Other Matters Market Risk.
Part I Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. The Companys management,
with the participation of Norman E. Johnson, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive
Officer and Bruce A. Klein, Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 3, 2007. Based on
their evaluation, such officers concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of March 3, 2007 in achieving the objectives for which they were designed. No
change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Companys
most recent fiscal quarter ended March 3, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There were no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the Companys 2006 Form
10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On June 17, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a two-year Stock Repurchase
Program, pursuant to which the Company from time to time may purchase up to $150 million
of shares of the Companys Common Stock in the open market or through privately negotiated
transactions. The Company has no obligation to repurchase stock under the program, and
the timing, actual number and value of shares to be purchased depend on market conditions
and the Companys then-current liquidity needs. As set forth in the table below, the
Company repurchased no shares during the fiscal quarter ended March 3, 2007, and shares in
the amount of $110,629,836 remained available for purchase under such program at the end
of the first quarter of 2007.
