1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of Greatbatch, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greatbatch Ltd. (collectively “Greatbatch” or the “Company”), for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The December 31, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31st. For 52-week years, each quarter contains 13 weeks. The third quarter of 2011 and 2010 each contained 13 weeks and ended on September 30, and October 1, respectively.

Revolving Line of Credit – On June 24, 2011, the Company amended and extended its revolving credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility provides a $400 million secured revolving credit facility, which can be increased to $600 million upon the Company's request and approval by a majority of the lenders. The 2011 Credit Facility also contains a $15 million letter of credit subfacility and a $15 million swingline subfacility. The 2011 Credit Facility has a maturity date of June 24, 2016; provided, however, if CSN II (defined below) is not repaid in full, modified or refinanced before March 1, 2013, the maturity date of the 2011 Credit Facility will be March 1, 2013.
The 2011 Credit Facility is secured by the Company's non-realty assets including cash, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest rates under the 2011 Credit Facility are, at the Company's option either at: (i) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 0.0% and 1.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate divided by a number equal to 1.0 minus the maximum aggregate Federal Reserve System “Euro-currency Liabilities” reserve requirement plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 1.5% and 3.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio. Loans under the swingline subfacility will bear interest at the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 0.0% and 1.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee which, varies between 0.175% and 0.25% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio.
The 2011 Credit Facility contains limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens and licensing of intellectual property, investments and certain payments. The 2011 Credit Facility permits the Company to: 1) engage in permitted acquisitions in the aggregate not to exceed $250 million; 2) make other investments not to exceed $60 million in the aggregate; 3) make stock repurchases not to exceed $60 million in the aggregate; and 4) retire up to $198 million of Greatbatch, Inc.'s CSN II. At any time that the total leverage ratio of the Company for the two most recently ended fiscal quarters is less than 2.75 to 1.0, the Company may make an election to reset each of the amounts specified in clauses (1) through (4) above. Additionally, these limitations can be waived upon the Company's request and approval of a majority of the lenders. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had available to it the full amount of the above limits.
The 2011 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a rolling four quarter ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense of at least 3.0 to 1.0, and a total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.5 to 1.0 through December 30, 2011, and not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 from December 31, 2011, and thereafter. The calculation of adjusted EBITDA and total leverage ratios excludes non-cash charges, extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring expenses or losses, non-cash stock-based compensation, and non-recurring expenses or charges incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The 2011 Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, a majority of the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011, was 1.97%. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $380 million of borrowing capacity available under the 2011 Credit Facility. This borrowing capacity may vary from period to period based upon the debt levels of the Company as well as the level of EBITDA, which impacts the covenant calculations described above.
Interest Rate Swaps –In 2008, the Company entered into three receive floating-pay fixed interest rate swaps indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate, in order to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on the Company's outstanding debt, which was also indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2011, none of these interest rate swaps remain outstanding. The receive variable leg of the interest rate swaps and the variable rate paid on the debt had the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and reset and paid interest on the same dates. No portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps during the 2011 or 2010 periods was considered ineffective. The amount recorded as Interest Expense related to the interest rate swaps for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 was zero and $0.3 million, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010.
Convertible Subordinated Notes – In May 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $170 million of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes, due June 15, 2013 (“CSN I”). In March 2007, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated agreements to exchange $117.8 million of CSN I for an equivalent principal amount of a new series of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (“CSN II”) (collectively the “Exchange”) at a 5% discount. The primary purpose of the Exchange was to eliminate the June 15, 2010 call and put option that was included in the terms of CSN I. In connection with the Exchange, the Company issued an additional $80 million aggregate principal amount of CSN II.
CSN II bear interest at 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually, and are due on June 15, 2013. The holders may convert the notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $34.70 per share, which is equivalent to a conversion ratio of 28.8219 shares per $1,000 of principal. The conversion price and the conversion ratio will adjust automatically upon certain changes to the Company's capitalization. The fair value of CSN II as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $193 million and is based on recent sales prices.
The effective interest rate of CSN II, which takes into consideration the amortization of the discount and deferred fees related to the issuance of these notes, is 8.5%. The discount on CSN II is being amortized to the maturity date of the convertible notes utilizing the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the discount related to the CSN II conversion option value was $16.5 million. As of September 30, 2011, the if-converted value of the CSN II notes does not exceed their principal amount as the Company's closing stock price of $20.01 per share did not exceed the conversion price of $34.70 per share.

Discount amortization | 2,602 | 2,434 | 7,676 | 7,182 |
The notes are convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the notes for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 of principal is less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive trading day period and the conversion rate per $1,000 of principal; (iii) the notes have been called for redemption; (iv) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the average closing price of common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the announcement of the distribution; (v) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock any form of dividend which has a per share value exceeding 5% of the price of the common stock on the day prior to such date of distribution; (vi) the Company effects a consolidation, merger, share exchange or sale of assets pursuant to which its common stock is converted to cash or other property; (vii) the period beginning 60 days prior to but excluding June 15, 2013; and (viii) certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture governing the notes, occur or are approved by the Board of Directors.
Conversions in connection with corporate transactions that constitute a fundamental change require the Company to pay a premium make-whole amount, based upon a predetermined table as set forth in the indenture agreement, whereby the conversion ratio on the notes may be increased by up to 7.0 shares per $1,000 of principal. The premium make-whole amount will be paid in shares of common stock upon any such conversion, subject to the net share settlement feature of the notes described below.
CSN II contains a net share settlement feature that requires the Company to pay cash for each $1,000 of principal to be converted. Any amounts in excess of $1,000 will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock, or at the Company's option, cash. The Company has a one-time irrevocable election to pay the holders in shares of its common stock, which it currently does not plan to exercise.
CSN II are redeemable by the Company at any time on or after June 20, 2012, or at the option of a holder upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture, affecting the Company. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debts and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.

(a) Orthopaedic facility optimization. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company began updating its Indianapolis, IN facility to streamline operations, consolidate buildings, increase capacity, further expand capabilities and reduce dependence on outside suppliers. Ultimately these updates will further reduce lead times, improve quality and allow the Company to better meet the needs of its customers.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company announced that it would construct an 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Allen County, IN and transfer the manufacturing operations currently being performed at its Columbia City, IN location into this new facility. The Company broke ground on this new facility in the second quarter of 2011 and is expected to be completed by mid-2012.
In October 2011, the Board of Directors approved a multi-faceted plan to further enhance, optimize and leverage the Company's manufacturing infrastructure. This plan includes the next phase of the Company's Orthopaedic facility optimization initiative and includes the opening of two Orthopaedic design centers, transferring production of certain Orthopaedic product lines to the Company's lower cost manufacturing facilities and the consolidation of the Company's Orthopaedic operations in Switzerland. These initiatives are expected to be completed over the next two to three years.
The total capital investment in connection with these initiatives is expected to be between $40 million and $45 million, of which approximately $8 million has been incurred to date. The total expense for these optimization projects is expected to be between $9 million and $11 million of which $0.7 million has been incurred to date. All expenses are cash expenditures, except accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs, and are recorded within the Greatbatch Medical segment. The remaining capital investment and expenses are expected to be incurred over the next two to three years.

(b) 2007 & 2008 facility shutdowns and consolidations. From 2007 to 2010, the Company completed the following facility shutdowns and consolidation initiatives:
The total expenses incurred for these facility shutdowns and consolidations was $17.3 million and included the following:
All categories of expenses were cash expenditures, except accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs. Costs incurred during 2010 primarily related to the Electrochem Solutions business segment.
(c) Integration costs. During 2010, the Company incurred costs related to the integration of companies acquired in 2007 and 2008. The integration initiatives include the implementation of the Oracle ERP system, training and compliance with Company policies, as well as the implementation of lean manufacturing and six sigma initiatives. These expenses were primarily for consultants, relocation and travel costs.
(d) Asset dispositions and other. During 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded (gains) write-downs in connection with various asset disposals, net of insurance proceeds received, if any.

9. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, business acquisitions, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 but is not expecting the audit to have a material impact on the effective tax rate when settled.
During the third quarter of 2011, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.9 million, primarily as a result of the reversal of uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. Approximately $1.0 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in the range of up to $0.8 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation and potential audit settlements.

The Company primarily leases buildings, which accounts for the majority of the future lease payments.
Purchase Commitments – Contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. As of September 30, 2011, the total contractual obligation related to such expenditures is approximately $27.2 million and will primarily be financed by existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, or draws under the 2011 Credit Facility over the next twelve months. We also enter into blanket purchase orders with vendors that have preferred pricing and terms, as well as contracts with vendors for outsourced services. However, the obligations under these purchase orders and service contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.
Foreign Currency Contracts – In December 2009 and February 2010, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 6.6 million and 3.3 million, respectively, Mexican pesos per month through December 2010 at an exchange rate of 13.159 pesos and 13.1595 pesos per one U.S. dollar, respectively. These contracts were entered into in order to hedge the risk of peso-denominated payments associated with the operations at the Company's Tijuana, Mexico facility for 2010 and were accounted for as cash flow hedges.
In July 2010 and February 2011, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 6.6 million and 3.7 million, respectively, Mexican pesos per month through December 2011 at an exchange rate of 13.2231 pesos and 12.2761 pesos per one U.S. dollar, respectively. These contracts were entered into in order to hedge the risk of peso-denominated payments associated with a portion of the operations at the Company's Tijuana, Mexico facility for 2011 and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges.
In September 2011, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase 6.5 million and 4.9 million Mexican pesos per month beginning in January 2012 through December 2012 at an exchange rate of 13.0354 pesos and 14.0287 pesos per one U.S. dollar, respectively. These contracts were entered into in order to hedge the risk of peso-denominated payments associated with a portion of the operations at the Company's Tijuana, Mexico facility for 2012 and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges.
As of September 30, 2011, these contracts had a negative fair value of $0.7 million, which is recorded within Accrued Expenses and Other Long-Term Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount recorded as a reduction of Cost of Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010 related to these forward contracts was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. No portion of the change in fair value of the Company's foreign currency contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or October 1, 2010 was considered ineffective.
Self-Insured Medical Plan – The Company self-funds the medical insurance coverage provided to its U.S. based employees. The risk to the Company is being limited through the use of stop loss insurance, which has an annual deductible of $0.2 million per covered participant. The maximum aggregate loss (the sum of all claims under the $0.2 million deductible) is limited to $14.2 million with a maximum benefit of $1.0 million. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has $2.8 million accrued related to the self-insurance of its medical plan, which is recorded in Accrued Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and is primarily based upon claim history.
Workers' Compensation Trust – The Company is a member of a group self-insurance trust that provides workers' compensation benefits to employees of the Company in Western New York (the “Trust”). Based on actual experience, the Company could receive a refund or be assessed additional contributions for workers' compensation claims. Under the Trust agreement, each participating organization has joint and several liability for Trust obligations if the assets of the Trust are not sufficient to cover those obligations. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company was notified by the Trust of its intentions to cease operations at the end of 2011 and was assessed $0.6 million as an estimate of its pro-rata share of future costs related to the Trust. As of September 30, 2011, this amount has been accrued and is recorded in Accrued Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Beginning in 2012, the Company will utilize traditional insurance to provide workers' compensation benefits.

Foreign currency contracts - The fair value of foreign currency contracts are determined through the use of cash flow models that utilize observable market data inputs to estimate fair value. These observable market data inputs include foreign exchange rate and credit spread curves. In addition to the above, the Company receives fair value estimates from the foreign currency contract counterparty to verify the reasonableness of the Company's estimates. The Company's foreign currency contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Convertible subordinated notes - The fair value of the Company's outstanding convertible subordinated notes described in Note 5 “Debt” was determined based upon recent third-party transactions for the Company's notes in an inactive market. The Company's convertible subordinated notes are valued for disclosure purposes utilizing Level 2 measurements of the fair value hierarchy.
Cost method investments - The Company holds certain cost method investments that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. The fair value of a cost method investment is only estimated if there are identified events or changes in circumstances that indicate impairment may be present. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company's cost method investments included in Other Assets was $5.7 million and $11.8 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a $0.3 million write-down of one of its cost method investments based upon a recent stock offering by that Company. On January 5, 2011, the Company sold its cost method investment in IntElect Medical, Inc. (“IntElect”) in conjunction with Boston Scientific's acquisition of IntElect. This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.5 million.

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND CONCENTRATION RISK INFORMATION
The Company operates its business in two reportable segments – Greatbatch Medical and Electrochem Solutions (“Electrochem”). The Greatbatch Medical segment designs and manufactures medical devices and components for the cardiac rhythm management (“CRM”), neuromodulation, vascular access and orthopaedic markets. Additionally, Greatbatch Medical offers value-added assembly and design engineering services for products that incorporate Greatbatch Medical components. As a result of the strategy put in place over three years ago, Greatbatch Medical now offers its customers complete medical devices including design, development, manufacturing, regulatory submission and supporting worldwide distribution. This medical device strategy is being facilitated through the Company's QiG Group and leverages the component technology of Greatbatch Medical and Electrochem in the Company's core markets: cardiovascular, neuromodulation and orthopaedic.
Electrochem designs, manufactures and distributes primary and rechargeable batteries, battery packs and wireless sensors for demanding applications in markets such as energy, security, portable medical, environmental monitoring and more.
The Company defines segment income from operations as sales less cost of sales including amortization and expenses attributable to segment-specific selling, general and administrative, research, development and engineering expenses, and other operating expenses. Segment income also includes a portion of non-segment specific selling, general and administrative expenses based on allocations appropriate to the expense categories. The remaining unallocated operating and other expenses are primarily administrative corporate headquarters expenses and capital costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. Transactions between the two segments are not significant.
An analysis and reconciliation of the Company's business segment, product line and geographic information to the respective information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements follows.

15. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Securities and Exchange Commission, Emerging Issues Task Force, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based upon this review except as noted below, management does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This ASU modifies the impairment test for goodwill intangibles. Under the revised guidance, entities performing their annual goodwill impairment test have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of this qualitative assessment, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) less than the carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test would be required. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing whether or not to adopt ASU No. 2011-08 for its 2011 annual goodwill impairment test. When adopted, this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as it only impacts the timing of when a company is required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU provides companies two choices for presenting net income and comprehensive income: in a single continuous statement, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Presenting comprehensive income in the statement of equity is no longer an option. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as it only changes the disclosures surrounding comprehensive income and as the Company already presents net income and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 establishes a global standard for applying fair value measurement. In addition to a few updates to the measurement guidance, ASU No. 2011-04 includes enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change for companies reporting under U.S. GAAP is an expansion of the disclosures required for “Level 3” measurements; that is, measurements based on unobservable inputs, such as a company's own data. This update is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2011-04 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
