REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2009 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CRANE CO. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following is a brief description of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”). Participants should refer to the Plan document and amendments for more complete information and for description of terms used herein.

 

  A. General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain United States of America (“U.S.”) employees of Crane Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Further, a portion of the Plan is invested in Crane Co. common stock, consisting of (a) Company matching contributions (which are non-participant directed), and (b) participants’ deferred savings contributions that participants have elected to invest in the Crane Co. Company Stock Fund, and is qualified as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as defined in Section 4975 of the Code. The Master Trust consists solely of the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund. In addition to participant deferral contributions and Company matching contributions on those deferrals, the Plan provides a 2% non-matching Company contribution to certain participants who are not eligible to participate in the Company-sponsored defined benefit pension plan or the ELDEC money purchase pension plan due to freezing of participation in those plans effective January 1, 2006. Effective June 19, 2008, the Plan changed its trustee and recordkeeper from Prudential Retirement Services (“Prudential”) to The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”), and a Master Trust agreement between Crane Co. and Vanguard (“the Master Trust”) was set up to hold all Crane Co. common stock held by the Plan – see Note 4.

 

  B. Plan Amendments The Plan was originally effective January 1, 1985. The Plan was most recently amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 (the “2008 Restatement”) to incorporate all prior amendments to the Plan since it was last restated in 2002, as well as to update Plan Administration as follows:

 

   

Increase the annual deferral limit for non-highly compensated employees from 25% to 75% of compensation;

 

   

Permit immediate diversification of a participant’s investment in the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund into other investment options;

 

   

Prohibit participants who take a hardship withdrawal from making any salary deferral contributions to the Plan for a period of 6 months following the withdrawal;

 

   

Permit in-service withdrawals of rollover monies at any time and for any reason;

 

   

Provide that changes in elective deferrals, including new enrollments, and investment elections will become effective as soon as administratively practical to reflect electronic administration of plan accounts; and

 

   

Other technical amendments reflecting recent statutory and regulatory changes

The Plan was most recently amended effective July 1, 2009 to reflect a reduction in the Company’s matching contribution to 25 percent of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings.

 

  C. Administration of the Plan The authority to manage, control and interpret the Plan is vested in the Administrative Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company. The Committee, which is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, appoints the Plan Administrator and is the named fiduciary within the meaning of ERISA.

Notes to Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

  D. Participation Subject to certain conditions, U.S. employees of Crane Co. and participating Crane Co. subsidiaries whose terms of employment are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, or are not otherwise, eligible to participate in a separate 401(k) plan of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completing the enrollment process following their date of hire.

 

  E. Contributions and Funding Policy Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from one to seventy-five percent of their annual compensation. The contribution limit for highly compensated employees, defined as those whose earnings equal at least $110,000 ($105,000 in 2008), is limited to ten percent. Participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan year will be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limits of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Contributions are invested in funds selected by the participant. The Company contributes on a matching basis an amount equal to 25 percent (50 percent in 2008 and through July 1, 2009), of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings. Matching contributions are automatically invested in Crane Co. common stock which is part of the Master Trust effective June 19, 2008. In accordance with the Code, participant pretax contributions could not exceed $16,500 and $15,500 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Discrimination tests are performed annually; any test discrepancies would result in refunds to the participants.

 

  F. Investments Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers mutual funds, a common collective trust and the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund as investment options for participants.

 

  G. Expenses Plan administrative expenses that are not otherwise paid out of the Plan assets (except those associated with the Master Trust and the Huttig Stock Fund) are paid by the Company in compliance with the terms of the Plan and Department of Labor guidance. In addition, personnel and facilities of the Company used by the Plan for its accounting and other activities are provided at no charge to the Plan. Commission fees and administrative expenses incurred by the Master Trust and the Huttig Stock Fund are paid by the respective funds through automatic unit deductions. Participant loan fees are paid by the participant through automatic deductions.

 

  H. Participant Accounts Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching or other contribution and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

  I. Vesting Employee contributions are 100% vested. Vesting for Company contributions are as follows:

 

Years of Service

   Vested
Interest
 

Less than 1 year

   None   

1 year but fewer than 2

   20

2 year but fewer than 3

   40

3 year but fewer than 4

   60

4 year but fewer than 5

   80

5 years or more

   100

Participants whose employment terminates by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement are fully vested. Participants are fully vested upon the attainment of age sixty-five (65).

 

  J. Forfeited Accounts As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $112,466 and $363,973, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future Company contributions. Company contributions were reduced by $563,469 and $687,480 from forfeited non-vested accounts during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

  K. Distributions Upon retirement, disability, termination of employment or death, a participant or designated beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to the participant’s account balance. If the participant’s account balance is greater than $1,000, the participant may elect to defer the withdrawal until reaching the age of 65. A participant may apply to the Committee for a distribution in cases of hardship. The Committee has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove hardship withdrawal requests, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. Any part of a participant’s unvested Company contribution at the time of termination of employment is forfeited and used to reduce future Company contributions or for other proper Plan purposes.

 

  L. Rollover Contributions Rollover contributions from other qualified plans are accepted by the Plan. Rollover contributions represent participant account balances of new employees transferred from other non-company qualified plans.

 

  M. Participant Loans Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between investment funds and the Loan Fund. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prevailing prime lending rate as of the date the loan is made, plus two percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions and credited to the participant’s account.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in preparation of the financial statements of the Plan.

 

  A. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

  B. Investment Valuation The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing composite price published for the last business day of the year. The Stable Value Fund and Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III are common collective trust funds administered by Wells Fargo Bank, and Vanguard, respectively. The Stable Value Fund invests in investment contracts, traditional guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and security-backed contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by diversifying among high-credit-quality investments and investment contracts that are structured to smooth market gains and losses over time. The fair value of a GIC is based on the present value of future cash flows using the current discount rate. The fair value of a security-backed contract includes the value of the underlying securities and the value of the wrapper contract. The fair value of a wrapper contract provided by a security-backed contract issuer is the replacement cost, and is based on the wrapper contract fees. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III invests primarily in synthetic investment contracts backed by high-credit-quality fixed income investments and traditional investments issued by insurance companies and banks. The investment in Crane Co. common stock and after June 19, 2008, the Master Trust and Huttig Stock Fund are valued at the quoted market price of the respective company’s common stock. The S&P 500 Index Fund is a pooled separate account that was administered by Prudential. As of the conversion to Vanguard on June 19, 2008, there no longer exists a pooled separate account. The units of the pooled separate accounts are stated at fair value as determined by the issuer of the pooled separate accounts based on the fair market value of the underlying investments. Participant loans are valued at outstanding loan balance, which approximates fair value.

The statements of assets available for benefits presents investment contracts at fair value, as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment of fully benefit-responsive contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis. Fair value of the contract is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.

Notes to Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

  C. Investment Transactions and Income Recognition Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is accounted for on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned. Total income of each fund is allocated monthly to participants’ accounts within the fund based on each participant’s relative beginning balance.

 

  D. Payment of Benefits Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

 

  E. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  F. Risks and Uncertainties The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, common stock funds and a common collective trust. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

 

  G. New Accounting Pronouncements The accounting standards initially adopted in the 2009 and 2008 financial statements described below affected certain note disclosures but did not impact the statements of net assets available for benefits or the statement of changes of net assets available for benefits.

Accounting Standards Codification — In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption changed certain disclosure references to U.S. GAAP, but did not have any other impact on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Subsequent Events — In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855-10, “Subsequent Events – Overall” (“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 defines the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Company has applied ASC 855-10 effective June 30, 2009.

Updates to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — In 2009, FASB Staff Position 157-4, Disclosures Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP), was issued and later codified into ASC 820, which expanded disclosures and required that major category for debt and equity securities in the fair value hierarchy table be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investments.

Notes to Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU No. 2010-06), which amends ASC 820, adding new disclosure requirements for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2010-06 will have on the financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”), which amended ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2009. ASU No. 2009-12 expands the required disclosures for certain investments with a reported net asset value (NAV). ASU No. 2009-12 permits, as a practical expedient, an entity holding investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent for which the fair value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of that net asset value per share or its equivalent without adjustment. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about the nature and risks of investments within its scope. Such disclosures include the nature of any restrictions on an investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments, and the investment strategies of the investee. The Plan has adopted ASU No. 2009-12 on a prospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption did not have a material impact on the fair value determination and disclosure of applicable investments. The effect of the adoption of the ASU had no impact on the statements of net assets available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

4. INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

On June 19, 2008, the Plan established a Master Trust to hold the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund. This trust account at Vanguard (“Trustee”) consists of an undivided interest in an investment account of the Master Trust, and is administered by the Trustee. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of trust assets with the assets of the Crane Co. Union Savings and Investment Plan as well as the Eldec Corporation and Interpoint Corporation Retirement Plan with the Plan for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets of these plans are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the net gain or loss of the investment account to the participating plans. The net investment income of the investment assets is allocated by the Trustee to each participating plan based on the relationship of the interest of each plan to the total of the interests of the three participating plans. The net assets and investments of the Master Trust at December 31, 2009, are summarized as follows:

6. STABLE VALUE FUND

The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III (the “Fund”) is a collective trust fund sponsored by Vanguard. The beneficial interest of each participant is represented by units. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the Fund’s constant net asset value (“NAV”) of $1 per unit. Distributions to the Fund’s unit holders are declared daily from the net investment income and automatically reinvested in the Fund on a monthly basis, when paid. It is the policy of the Fund to use its best efforts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this value.

Participants ordinarily may direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the Fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals. The Fund imposes certain restrictions on the Plan, and the Fund itself may be subject to circumstances that impact its ability to transact at contract value, such as premature termination of the contracts by the Plan, plant closings, layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy, mergers, and early retirement incentives. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Fund to transact at less than contract value is not probable.

 

7. NET ASSET VALUE (“NAV”) PER SHARE

In accordance with ASU No. 2009-12, the Plan expanded its disclosures to include the category, fair value, redemption frequency, and redemption notice period for those assets whose fair value is estimated using the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2009.

The following table for December 31, 2009, sets forth a summary of the Plan’s investments with a reported NAV.

8. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Prudential and Vanguard. Prudential and Vanguard are trustees as defined by the Plan (see Note 1), and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Balances of these funds at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $ 142,796,426 and $113,011,200, respectively. These funds earned net investment income (loss) of $12,515,456 and $(8,729,158) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Fees incurred for investment management services, if any, were paid by the Plan.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held 1,931,692 and 1,961,508 shares, respectively, of common stock of Crane Co., the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $49,144,174 and $51,839,529, respectively, and fair value of $59,148,029 and $33,816,406, respectively. The shares held by the Plan at December 31, 2009 and 2008 reflect the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan recorded investment (loss) income of $ 27,985,691 and $(42,716,922), respectively, related to its investment in the common stock of Crane Co.

Certain officers and employees of the Company (who may also be participants in the Plan) perform administrative services related to the operation and financial reporting of the Plan. The Company pays these individuals salaries and also pays other administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan. Certain fees, to the extent not paid by the Company, are paid by the Plan.

9. PLAN TERMINATION

The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, which includes the right to vary the amount of, or to terminate, the Company’s contributions to the Plan. In the event of the Plan’s termination or discontinuance of contributions hereunder, the interest of each participant in benefits earned to such date, to the extent then funded, is fully vested and non-forfeitable. Subject to the requirements of the Code, the Board of Directors shall thereupon direct either (i) Vanguard to hold the accounts of participants in accordance with the provisions of the Plan without regard to such termination until all funds in such accounts have been distributed in accordance with such provisions, or (ii) the Trustee to immediately distribute to each participant all amounts then credited to the participant’s account as a lump sum.

 

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated November 14, 2003 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Company and the Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

 

11. 402(g) COMPLIANCE

Certain participant deferrals in 2008 were made in excess of the applicable limitation on the total dollar amount per participant of such deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Company corrected this compliance issue in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS), an amnesty program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. The correction involved remitting the excess deferrals (and any earnings on those deferrals) to the affected Participants.

 

12. ADP TESTING

Based on preliminary testing, the Plan appears not to have passed the Actual Deferral Percentage (“ADP”) test in 2009. The ADP test is designed to limit the extent to which the elective contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees may exceed the level of elective contributions made on behalf of non-highly compensated employees. The Company is in the process of completing its testing and the correction of this compliance issue in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the EPCRS. The correction involves remitting a portion of the elective contributions (and any earnings on those contributions) to the affected Participants in an amount sufficient to pass the test.

The Plan did not pass the ADP test in 2008. The Company corrected this compliance issue in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the EPCRS. The correction involved remitting a portion of the elective contributions (and any earnings on those contributions) to the affected Participants in an amount sufficient to pass the test.

Considering the remedial actions taken and to be taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan document and the IRC, management believes that this compliance issue will not affect the tax-exempt status of the Plan.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Plan presents, in the Statement of Changes in Assets Available for Benefits, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gain or loss on the sale of investments and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments. The Plan classifies its investments into three Levels as presented in the following table. Level 1 refers to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets for which the Plan has the ability to access as of the reporting date. Financial assets valued using Level 1 inputs include Crane Co. common stock and Mutual Funds that are valued at the closing price reported by various stock exchanges. Level 2 refers to inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets valued using Level 2 inputs include The Common Collective Trust. Level 3 refers to unobservable inputs, such as internally-developed pricing models for the asset due to little or no market activity for the asset. As of December 31, 2009, the Plan’s participant loans were categorized as Level 3 investments. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The valuation methods as described in Note 2 may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
