Acquisition and Dispositions	1. Acquisition and Disposition On September 29, 2009, RBC Lubron Bearing Systems, Inc. acquired certain assets of Lubron Bearing Systems, a manufacturer of highly engineered self-lubricating bearings used in bridge building, power generation, subsea oil production and earthquake seismic isolation, located in Huntington Beach, California for $2,976. The purchase price included $1,943 in cash, a $775 note payable and the assumption of certain liabilities. The purchase price allocation is as follows: inventory ($103), fixed assets ($829), goodwill ($1,713) and intangible assets ($331).

On June 28, 2010, RBC France SAS, a subsidiary of Schaublin SA, sold certain assets relating to its J. Bovagnet sales branch. The assets sold included the trade name, inventory, equipment, and a building. Simultaneously, Schaublin SA entered into a long-term distribution agreement for the continued distribution of Schaublin products by the J. Bovagnet sales operation into a defined territory. A gain in the amount of $1.1 million was realized from the sale of the assets.

Net Income Per Common Share

2. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

	Three Months Ended
	July 3, 2010		June 27, 2009

Net income	$	9,061	$	5,067

Denominator for basic net income per common share—weighted-average shares		21,609,648		21,582,607

Denominator for diluted net income per common share — weighted-average shares		21,977,152		21,691,059

Basic net income per common share	$	0.42	$	0.23

Diluted net income per common share	$	0.41	$	0.23

Basic weighted-average common shares do not include 147,775 and 123,649 unvested restricted stock shares at July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively.

At July 3, 2010, 523,700 employee stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive. 860,700 such options were excluded at June 27, 2009.

KeyBank Credit Agreement, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility; amounts outstanding bear interest at LIBOR, plus a specified margin (LIBOR 0.375% and 0.25% at July 3, 2010 and April 3, 2010, respectively)	$	30,000	$	37,000

Long-Term Debt	$	750	$	37,000

The current portion of long-term debt includes notes payable related to the Lubron acquisition (Note 1). The KeyBank Credit Agreement expires on June 24, 2011, and all borrowings under the agreement are considered current.

On January 8, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of $30,000 to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate (3.64%) and receives interest at variable rates. The maturity date of the interest swap is June 24, 2011. The fair value of this swap at July 3, 2010 and April 3, 2010 was a liability of $927 and $1,131 respectively, included in other current liabilities, and was measured using observable market inputs such as yield curves. Based on these inputs, the swap is classified as a Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. This instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the gain o r loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings contemporaneously with the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. Earnings effect and the hedged item are reported in interest expense.

Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before March 31, 2004. A U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 was completed during the three months ended July 3, 2010. As a result of the audit, the Company recognized certain previously unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million in the quarter on the basis that the related tax positions have been effectively settled. The Company maintains reserves for certain other unrecognized tax benefits of $2.5 million related to this matter based on management 's judgment that the related tax positions have not yet been effectively settled. Management expects such tax positions to be settled by the end of the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 were 31.8% and 33.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 of 31.8% includes the reversal of the unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million due to the conclusion of the Company's IRS audit. The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 without this discrete item would have been 35.2%. The effective income tax rates are different from the U.S. statutory rate due to foreign income taxed at lower rates, state income taxes, and a special manufacturing deduction in the U.S.

Segment Information

9. Segment Information

The Company has three reportable business segments engaged in the manufacture and sale of the following:

Roller Bearings. Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of balls. The Company manufactures four basic types of roller bearings: heavy duty needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers and aircraft roller bearings.

Plain Bearings. Plain bearings are produced with either self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consists of several sub-classes, including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications, plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various mechanical components.

Ball Bearings. The Company manufactures four basic types of ball bearings: high precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball bearings which are used in high-speed rotational applications.

Certain other operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure and their information is combined and disclosed as "Other".

Other. Other consists of three minor operating locations that do not fall into the above segmented categories. The Company's precision machine tool collets provide effective part holding and accurate part location during machining operations. Additionally, the Company provides machining for integrated bearing assemblies and aircraft components for the commercial and defense aerospace markets and tight-tolerance, precision mechanical components for use in the motion control industry.

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment net sales and operating income. Items not allocated to segment operating income include corporate administrative expenses and certain other amounts.
