2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.  The following represents an addition to our accounting policies due to the acquisition of Coperion.

Revenue Recognition

With the acquisition of Coperion, a portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from long-term manufacturing contracts.  This revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method.  Under this method, revenue is recognized based upon the costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated cost of the project and are included in net revenues on the consolidated income statement.  Revenues in excess of billings are presented as unbilled receivables from long-term manufacturing contracts and deposits in excess of billings are presented as liabilities from long-term manufacturing contracts on the consolidated balance sheet.  For the three months ended December 31, 2012, approximately 10% of the Company’s revenue related to revenue from these long-term manufacturing contracts.  Revenue for components, replacement parts, and service is recognized on a completed contract basis when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity.  An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements.  Each component of net income and other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, must be displayed under either alternative. The new disclosure requirements became effective and were adopted as of October 1, 2012.  As the new standard relates to presentation only, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
