Ball Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ball Corporation and its controlled affiliates, including its consolidated variable interest entities (collectively Ball, the company, we or our), and have been prepared by the company. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted for this presentation.
Results of operations for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the year, particularly in view of the seasonality in the packaging segments and the irregularity of contract revenues in the aerospace and technologies segment. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2011, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (annual report).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and various assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. However, we believe that the financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. On January 26, 2011, the company’s board of directors declared a two-for-one split of Ball’s common stock, which was effective on February 15, 2011, for all shareholders of record on February 4, 2011. As a result of the stock split, all 2010 amounts related to shares, share prices and earnings per share have been retrospectively adjusted throughout this report.
2. Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In April 2010, accounting guidance was issued to outline the criteria that should be met for determining when the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate in research or development transactions. The new guidance was effective as of January 1, 2011, and did not have a significant impact on Ball’s financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding fair value measurements, specifically requiring the disclosure of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities (previously only required for those in Level 3) and more specific detailed disclosure of the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (on a gross basis rather than a net basis). The new guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation of asset and liability classes, as well as the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The disclosure requirement for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities was effective for Ball on January 1, 2010, and had no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The reporting of Level 3 activity on a gross basis was effective for Ball as of January 1, 2011, and affects only the Level 3 pension plan assets, which do not represent a significant component of the total pension assets.
Ball Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
New Accounting Guidance
In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued to allow companies to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test described in current accounting guidelines. The guidance is effective for Ball on January 1, 2012, although early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Also in September 2011, revised accounting guidance was issued to enhance disclosures related to multiemployer pension plans. Ball is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance, which will be effective for the company in its 2011 year-end reporting, but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, accounting guidance was issued requiring that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive earnings or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance also requires the company present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive earnings to net earnings. Ball has historically presented comprehensive earnings within the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and is evaluating which acceptable method of presentation included in the guidance it will adopt once the statement becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2012. The company does not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, amendments to existing accounting guidance were issued that result in a more consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of, and disclosure about, fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in the new guidance provide explanations on how to measure fair value but do not require additional fair value measurements. The new fair value guidance will be effective for Ball as of January 1, 2012, and is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s financial statements or disclosures.
3. Business Segment Information
Ball’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines and presented in the following four reportable segments.
Metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia: Consists of the metal beverage packaging, Americas, operations in the U.S., Canada and Brazil (see Note 4), and the metal beverage packaging, Asia, operations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Americas and Asia segments have been aggregated based on similar economic and qualitative characteristics. The operations in this reporting segment manufacture and sell metal beverage containers, and also manufacture and sell non-beverage plastic containers in the PRC.
Metal beverage packaging, Europe: Consists of operations in several countries in Europe, which manufacture and sell metal beverage containers, extruded aluminum aerosol containers and aluminum slugs.
Metal food and household products packaging, Americas: Consists of operations in the U.S. and Argentina, which manufacture and sell metal food, aerosol, paint and general line containers, as well as decorative specialty containers and aluminum slugs.
Aerospace and technologies: Consists of the manufacture and sale of aerospace and other related products and the providing of services used in the defense, civil space and commercial space industries.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the company’s critical and significant accounting policies can be found in Ball’s annual report. The company also has investments in companies in the U.S. and the PRC, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, those results are not included in segment sales or earnings. The company’s investment in a Brazilian joint venture was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting. However, during August 2010, Ball acquired an additional economic interest in the joint venture partner and its results are now consolidated.

4. Acquisitions
Aerocan S.A.S. (Aerocan)
In January 2011, the company acquired Aerocan for €221.7 million ($295.2 million) in cash and assumed debt, net of $26.2 million of cash acquired. Aerocan is a leading European manufacturer of extruded aluminum aerosol containers, and the aluminum slugs used to make them, for customers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, beverage and food industries. It operates three aerosol container manufacturing plants — one each in the Czech Republic, France and the United Kingdom — and is a 51 percent owner of a joint venture aluminum slug plant in France. The four plants employ approximately 560 people. The acquisition of Aerocan allows Ball to enter a growing part of the metal packaging industry and to broaden the company’s market development efforts into a new customer base. The acquired operations have been included in the metal beverage packaging, Europe, segment since the acquisition date.
Management’s preliminary fair market valuation of acquired assets and liabilities is summarized below. The preliminary valuation was based on market and income approaches.

4. Acquisitions (continued)
Latapack-Ball Embalagens, Ltda. (Latapack-Ball)
In August 2010, the company paid $46.2 million to acquire an additional 10.1 percent economic interest in its Brazilian beverage packaging joint venture, Latapack-Ball, through a transaction with the joint venture partner, Latapack S.A. This transaction increased the company’s overall economic interest in the joint venture to 60.1 percent and expands and strengthens Ball’s presence in the growing Brazilian market. As a result of the transaction, Latapack-Ball became a variable interest entity (VIE) under consolidation accounting guidelines with Ball being identified as the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidating the joint venture. Latapack-Ball operates two metal beverage can manufacturing plants in Tres Rios, Rio de Janeiro; and Jacarei, Sao Paulo; as well as a can end manufacturing plant in Simoes Filho (Salvador), Bahia. Latapack-Ball has been included in the metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia, reporting segment. In connection with the acquisition, the company recorded a noncash gain of $81.8 million in the equity in results of affiliates line on the statement of earnings on its previously held equity investment in Latapack-Ball as a result of required purchase accounting.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of the Latapack-Ball assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest recognized, as well as the related investment in Latapack S.A., as of the acquisition date. The valuation was based on market and income approaches.

Neuman Aluminum (Neuman)
In July 2010, the company acquired Neuman for approximately $62 million in cash and became the leading North American manufacturer of aluminum slugs used to make extruded aerosol cans, beverage bottles, collapsible tubes and technical impact extrusions. Neuman operates two plants, one in the U.S. and one in Canada, that employ approximately 180 people. The acquisition of Neuman is not material to the metal food and household products packaging, Americas, segment, in which its results of operations have been included since the acquisition date.
Guangdong Jianlibao Group Co., Ltd (Jianlibao)
In June 2010, the company acquired Jianlibao’s 65 percent interest in a joint venture metal beverage can and end plant in Sanshui (Foshan), PRC, for $86.9 million in cash (net of cash acquired) and assumed debt, and also entered into a long-term supply agreement. The company recorded equity earnings of $24.1 million, which was composed of equity earnings and a gain realized on the fair value of Ball’s equity investment as a result of the required purchase accounting. The acquisition of the remaining interest is not material to the metal beverage packaging, Americas and Asia, segment.

6. Business Consolidation Activities
2011
Metal Beverage Packaging, Americas and Asia
In January 2011, Ball announced plans to close its Torrance, California, beverage can manufacturing plant; relocate a
12-ounce can line from the Torrance plant to its Whitby, Ontario, plant; and expand specialty can production in its Fort
Worth, Texas, plant. The company recorded charges of $1.4 million and $14.2 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, in connection with these activities. Of the total $14.2 million recorded in the first nine months, $10.1 million represented severance, pension and other employee benefits; $2.4 million represented accelerated depreciation; and $1.7 million represented other costs. The first quarter of 2011 also included an impairment charge of $2.3 million to reduce the plant to its estimated net realizable value. The impairment charge was reversed during the third quarter based on information received during the quarter regarding the saleable value of the plant. In October 2011, the land and building at the Torrance location were sold for net proceeds of $23.4 million, resulting in a gain of $6.9 million, which will be reported in the fourth quarter.
An additional $0.6 million of net charges were recorded in the first nine months of 2011, primarily to reflect individually insignificant charges related to previously announced plant closures.
Metal Beverage Packaging, Europe
In connection with the acquisition of Aerocan discussed in Note 4, the company recorded charges totaling $2.9 million for transaction costs, which are required to be expensed as incurred.
Metal Food and Household Products Packaging, Americas
In September 2011, the company discontinued production of certain products in a facility and recorded a charge of $1.4 million in connection with this discontinuance.
Ball Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
6. Business Consolidation Activities (continued)
Corporate and Other Costs
Net charges of $0.6 million were recorded during the first nine months of 2011 primarily to reflect individually insignificant charges related to previously announced plant closures.
2010
Metal Beverage Packaging, Americas and Asia
Net earnings of $0.4 million were recorded in the first nine months of 2010 to reflect individually insignificant costs and gains related to previously announced plant closures.
Metal Food and Household Products Packaging, Americas
In September 2010, Ball announced the closure of its metal food container manufacturing plant in Richmond, British Columbia, and the plant ceased production in the first quarter of 2011. In connection with the closure, the company recorded a charge of $4.6 million primarily for severance and other employee benefits.
During the third quarter of 2010, the company identified an accrual of a pension liability related to a Canadian plant closure that occurred in 2006. The amount of the accrual was $17.8 million and was the result of recognizing the final settlement of the pension plan prior to the actual settlement of the pension obligation as defined in the pension accounting guidance. A third quarter 2010 out-of-period adjustment eliminated the excess pension liability balance related to the final settlement. The accrual for the pension settlement liability, as determined at that time, will be charged to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) upon final settlement of the related pension obligation when the criteria in the accounting guidance are deemed to have been met and all regulatory clearances have been given. Management has assessed the impact of this adjustment and does not believe these amounts were quantitatively or qualitatively material, individually or in the aggregate, to any previously issued financial statements, including the results of operations for 2006, or to the third quarter, first nine months or full year of 2010 .
Corporate and Other Costs
In the third quarter of 2010, $0.7 million of transaction costs were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Neuman (discussed in Note 4). In the second quarter, charges of $3.1 million were recorded to establish a reserve associated with an environmental matter at a previously owned facility.

The senior credit facilities bear interest at variable rates and include the term loans described in the table above, as well as a long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facility that provides the company with up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1 billion. The revolving credit facilities expire in December 2015. The Latapack-Ball debt facilities contain various covenants and restrictions but are non-recourse to Ball Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Ball Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
12. Debt (continued)
At October 2, 2011, taking into account outstanding letters of credit, approximately $730 million was available under the company’s long-term, multi-currency committed revolving credit facilities, which are available until December 2015. In addition to the long-term, multi-currency committed credit facilities, the company had approximately $526 million of short-term uncommitted credit facilities available at the end of the quarter, of which $149.4 million was outstanding and due on demand.
On August 1, 2011, the company entered into an accounts receivable securitization agreement for a term of three years. The maximum the company can borrow under this agreement can vary between $150 million and $275 million depending on the seasonality of the company’s business. At October 2, 2011, $265.8 million of accounts receivable were sold under this agreement. Borrowings under the securitization agreement are included within the short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt line on the balance sheet. There were no accounts receivable sold at December 31, 2010, under the company’s previous securitization program that allowed for borrowings of between $125 million and $175 million.
The fair value of the long-term debt at October 2, 2011, and at December 31, 2010, approximated its carrying value. The fair value reflects the market rates at each period end for debt with credit ratings similar to the company’s ratings. Rates currently available to the company for loans with similar terms and maturities are used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on discounted cash flows.
On March 22, 2010, Ball issued $500 million of new 6.75 percent senior notes due in September 2020. On April 21, 2010, the company redeemed $509 million of its 6.875 percent senior notes due December 2012 at a redemption price of 101.146 percent of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. The redemption resulted in a charge of $8.1 million for the call premium and the write off of unamortized financing costs and unamortized premiums. The charge is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.
The senior notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Certain foreign denominated tranches of the senior credit facilities are similarly guaranteed by certain of the company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is presented in Exhibit 20 to this Form 10-Q. Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements are not required by the current regulations.
The U.S. note agreements, bank credit agreement, industrial development revenue bond agreements and the new accounts receivable securitization agreement contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, share repurchases, investments, financial ratios, guarantees and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The most restrictive of the company’s debt covenants require the company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the agreements) of no less than 3.50 and a leverage ratio (as defined) of no greater than 4.00. The company was in compliance with all loan agreements and debt covenants at October 2, 2011, and December 31, 2010, and has met all debt payment obligations.

Contributions to the company’s defined global benefit pension plans, not including the unfunded German plans, were $20.6 million in the first nine months of 2011 ($51.9 million in 2010). The total contributions to these funded plans are expected to be approximately $30 million for the full year. This estimate may change based on changes in the Pension Protection Act and actual plan asset performance, among other factors. Payments to participants in the unfunded German plans were $18.7 million (€13.3 million) in the first nine months of 2011 and are expected to be approximately $25 million (approximately €18 million) for the full year.

14. Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Earnings (continued)
Share Repurchase Agreements
On August 2, 2011, in a privately negotiated transaction, Ball entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy $125 million of its common stock using cash on hand and available borrowings. The company advanced the $125 million on August 5, 2011, and received 3,077,976 shares, which represented 90 percent of the total shares as calculated using the previous day’s closing share price. The agreement was settled on September 15, 2011, and the company received an additional 526,532 shares.
In February 2010, in a privately negotiated transaction, Ball entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy $125 million of its common stock using cash on hand and available borrowings. The company advanced the $125 million on February 22, 2010, and received 4,323,598 shares, which represented 90 percent of the total shares as calculated using the previous day’s closing price. The agreement was settled in May 2010, and the company received an additional 398,206 shares.
15. Stock-Based Compensation Programs
The company has shareholder-approved stock option plans under which options to purchase shares of Ball common stock have been granted to officers and employees at the market value of the stock at the date of grant. Payment must be made at the time of exercise in cash or with shares of stock owned by the option holder, which are valued at fair market value on the date exercised. In general, options vest in four equal one-year installments commencing one year from the date of grant and terminating 10 years from the date of grant.

(a) Amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for the two-for-one stock split that was effective on February 15, 2011.
The options granted in January 2011 included 679,310 stock-settled stock appreciation rights, which have the same terms as the stock options. The weighted average remaining contractual term for all options outstanding at October 2, 2011, was 6.3 years and the aggregate intrinsic value (difference in exercise price and closing price at that date) was $83.5 million. The weighted average remaining contractual term for options vested and exercisable at October 2, 2011, was 5.2 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was $71.8 million.
The company received $2.5 million from options exercised during the three months ended October 2, 2011. The intrinsic value associated with these exercises was $3.5 million, and the associated tax benefit of $0.9 million was reported as other financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, the company received $14.3 million from options exercised. The intrinsic value associated with exercises for that period was $18.2 million, and the associated tax benefit of $4.7 million was reported as other financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
15. Stock-Based Compensation Programs (continued)
Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, options granted in January and April 2011 have an estimated weighted average fair value at the date of grant of $9.78 per share. The actual value an employee may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by an employee will be at or near the value estimated. The fair values were estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:
|
Expected dividend yield |
|
0.78 |
% |
|
Expected stock price volatility |
|
30.04 |
% |
|
Risk-free interest rate |
|
1.97 |
% |
|
Expected life of options |
|
5.0 years |
|
In addition to stock options, the company may issue to officers and certain employees restricted shares and restricted stock units, which vest over various periods. Other than the performance-contingent grants discussed below, such restricted shares and restricted stock units generally vest in equal installments over five years. Compensation cost is recorded based upon the estimated fair value of the shares at the grant date.

In January 2011 and 2010, the company’s board of directors granted 210,330 and 362,300 performance-contingent restricted stock units, respectively, to key employees, which will cliff-vest if the company’s return on average invested capital during a 36-month performance period is equal to or exceeds the company’s cost of capital. If the performance goals are not met, the shares will be forfeited. Current assumptions are that the performance targets will be met and, accordingly, grants under the plan are being accounted for as equity awards and compensation expense is recorded based upon the closing market price of the shares at the grant date. On a quarterly basis, the company reassesses the probability of the goals being met and adjusts compensation expense as appropriate. No such adjustment was considered necessary during the first nine months of 2011 for either grant.
For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, the company recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses pretax expense of $5.3 million ($3.2 million after tax) and $17.6 million ($10.7 million after tax) for share-based compensation arrangements, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, the company recognized pretax expense of $5.5 million ($3.4 million after tax) and $19.3 million ($11.8 million after tax), respectively, for such arrangements. At October 2, 2011, there was $46.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized in earnings over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
