    Note A - As we disclosed in previous periodic filings, one of our subsidiaries, Ajax Tocco Magnethermic ("ATM"), was a party to a binding
     arbitration proceeding pending in South Africa with a customer. The arbitration involved a dispute over the design and installation of a melting
     furnace. The customer sought binding arbitration in September 2011 for breach of contract and sought compensatory damages in the amount of $37.0
     million, as well as fees and expenses related to the arbitration. ATM counterclaimed in the arbitration, alleging breach of contract for non-
     payment of $2.7 million as well as fees and expenses related to the arbitration.

    In June 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement with the customer pursuant to which we agreed to settle all claims subject to the arbitration
     proceeding by paying the customer $13.0 million in cash, which payment was made in June 2012.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Note B - EBITDA, as defined, reflects earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and excludes depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash
     charges and corporate-level expenses as defined in the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under
     generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from
     operating, investing and financing activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of
     profitability or liquidity. The Company presents EBITDA because management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indication of the
     Company's satisfaction of its Debt Service Ratio covenant in its Revolving Credit Agreement and because EBITDA is a measure used under the
     Company's revolving credit facility to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt under such facility. EBITDA as defined herein may
     not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA, as defined:

    Note A -On March 23, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Fluid Routing Solutions Holding Corp. ("FRS"), a leading manufacturer of automotive and industrial rubber and thermoplastic hose products and fuel filler and hydraulic
     fluid assemblies for the automotive and industrial industries. FRS will expand the Company's sales of assembled components.

    During the second quarter, as a result of the FRS acquisition, the Company realigned its segments in order to better align its business with the underlying markets and customers that the Company serves. In so doing, we combined Aluminum
     Products, Rubber Products (previously included in the former Manufactured Products segment), and Delo Screw Products (previously included in the Supply Technologies segment) along with FRS to form the Assembly Components segment. The
     former Manufactured Products segment will now be referred to as Engineered Products. The results of operations of FRS from the date of the acquisition through June 30, 2012 are included in the Assembly Components segment. The business
     segment results for the prior year have been reclassified to reflect these changes.
