Letter to Stockholders
2011 – A year of continued recovery in the vehicle
production and sales levels in the North American
Automotive and Heavy Truck Industries.
Gradually improving consumer confidence levels along
with rising pent-up demand, available credit, and
excellent product offerings from all automakers resulted
for the second year in a row, as expected, in higher levels
of production volumes. Year over year, North American
production volumes increased from 11.8 million to 12.8
million cars and light trucks, as you can see in Chart #1.
Similarly, the heavy truck and trailer production volumes
increased year over year from 272 thousand to 422
thousand units, reinforcing the momentum of the
recovery.

Recognizing that the foundation to sustainable success for

continuously innovate, generate and deliver to our
customers the competitive advantage they seek and that
by doing so we ensure our profitable growth, we have
focused our operating strategies in three key priorities:
Operational Excellence
Product Leadership
Customer Loyalty
The pursuit of these three operating strategies has created
the culture, skills and disciplines that allow us to identify,
evaluate, develop and deliver solutions to our customers
that can make the difference.
In 2011, our Company was invited to work closely with
several customers focusing on making vehicles lighter
and stronger, reducing the level of complexity for

Special dividends to Shareholders
In April 2011, the Company entered into an amended and
restated Credit and Security Agreement that secured an
$80 million revolving line of credit with a five-year term
and favorable borrowing rates thereby reducing our
overall cost of borrowing.
Moving Forward:
Fiscal 2011 reinforced our belief that we are in an
improving vehicle production cycle that should eventually
bring us to the pre-crisis levels of around 15 million units
by 2014. Based on publicly available information, the
average life of a car on the U.S. roads is 11.1 years, while
light trucks average 10.4 years.
Even though there are some serious macroeconomic
concerns regarding the global economy, most automotive
industry forecasters agree that the demand momentum
will continue in 2012 and beyond, and the 2012 vehicle
production volume is expected to be between 13.5 – 14.0
million cars and light trucks and approximately 450
thousand units for heavy truck production in North
America.
In addition, the improving strength of the U.S. economy,
the sharp focus of our OEM customers in vehicle weight
reduction, improved fuel economy, improved functional
performance and the excellent quality and appeal of the
new product offerings, provide more choices to the
consumers than ever before.
We are optimistic on the prospects for 2012 because our
Company’s technology and manufacturing capabilities
will play a contributing role that is appreciated by our
customers. With a sound Balance Sheet, a strong
Management Team and a highly trained and dedicated
workforce, we are moving forward with confidence and
consistency in the execution of our operational and
strategic priorities.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to express
my thanks and appreciation to our Board of Directors for
their leadership, guidance and support throughout another
successful year. I also would like to express my thanks
and appreciation to all our dedicated associates and to
you, our stockholders for your continued support.
your
you,

2011 Results:
Sales for fiscal 2011 were $517.7 million, an increase of
$60.4 million, or 13.2%, from sales of $457.3 million in
fiscal 2010. Sales increased during fiscal 2011 as a result
of increased production volumes experienced by the
North American automotive and heavy truck industries
for which the Company supplies parts as well as sales that
resulted from business awarded to the Company for new
model introductions and new conquest business awarded
and launched during fiscal 2011. For fiscal year 2011,
North American automotive car and light truck
production was 8.1% above the production levels of 2010,
and production of the traditional domestic manufacturers
was 11.3% above the prior year.
Operating income for fiscal 2011 was $14.8 million,
including net asset impairment charges of $0.1 million
and restructuring charges of $0.4 million compared to an
operating income of $9.9 million, including the asset
impairment charges of $4.5 million and restructuring
charges of $0.3 million, all representing charges for the
closure of the Mansfield, OH facility announced in fiscal
2010. The Manufacturing and Selling, General and
Administrative costs increased in fiscal 2011 as expected,
compared to the prior year as a result of increased labor
costs associated with higher production volumes,
preparation for new program launches, the phase out of
the Company’s Mansfield facility and the start-up costs
related to the Company’s new Bowling Green facility. In
addition, the Company restored to pre-crisis levels payroll
reductions and benefit contributions at the beginning of
the fiscal year, resulting in increases costs year-over-year.
The Company reported net income for fiscal 2011 of $7.8
million or $0.47 per share diluted including the
impairment and restructuring charges, compared to $3.9
million or $0.23 per share diluted including the
impairment and restructuring charges in fiscal 2010.
For fiscal 2011, the Company generated cash flow from
operations of $20.6 million. The Company invested $18.5
million in new capital projects, including $8.7 million for
the launch of the new Bowling Green, KY facility, which
began operations in April 2011. In addition, on December
10, 2010 the Board of Directors declared a special
dividend of $0.12 per share, which was paid on December
29, 2010, resulting in a use of cash of $2.0 million. The
Company repaid funds borrowed to pay this special
dividend and further reduced debt since the end of the
previous year by an additional $1.5 million to $26.1
million as shown in Chart #2.

The Company produces engineered welded blanks using both the mash seam resistance and laser weld processes. The
engineered welded blanks that are produced generally consist of two or more sheets of steel of the same or different material grade,
thickness or coating welded together into a single flat panel. The primary distinctions between mash seam resistance and laser
welding are weld bead appearance and cost.
The Company's complex stamping operations produce engineered stampings and modular assemblies. Stamping is a process
in which steel is passed through dies in a stamping press in order to form the steel into three-dimensional parts. The Company
produces complex stamped parts using precision single stage, progressive, deep draw and transfer dies, which the Company either
designs and manufactures or sources from third parties. Some stamping operations also provide value-added processes such as
welding, assembly and painting capabilities. The Company's complex stampings and assemblies are principally used as components
for body-in-white, powertrain, seat frames and other structural body components for automobiles.
The Company produces steel blanks in its blanking operations. Blanking is a process in which flat-rolled steel is cut into
precise two-dimensional shapes by passing steel through a press, employing a blanking die. These blanks, which are used principally
by manufacturers in the automobile, heavy truck, and lawn and garden industries, are used by the Company's automotive and
heavy truck customers for automobile exterior and structural components, including fenders, hoods, doors and side panels, and
heavy truck wheel rims and brake components and by the Company's lawn and garden customers for lawn mower decks.
To a lesser extent, the Company provides the service of steel processing and processes flat-rolled steel principally for primary
steel producers and manufacturers that require processed steel for end-product manufacturing purposes. The Company also
processes flat-rolled steel for internal blanking and stamping operations. The Company either purchases hot-rolled, cold-rolled or
coated steel from primary steel producers located throughout the Midwest or receives the steel on a toll-processing basis and does
not acquire ownership of it. Cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel often go through additional processing operations to meet the
requirements of end-product manufacturers. The Company's additional processing operations include slitting, cutting-to-length,
edge trimming, roller leveling and quality inspecting of flat-rolled steel.
Slitting is the cutting of coiled steel to precise widths. Cutting-to-length produces steel cut to specified lengths ranging from
12 inches to 168 inches. Edge trimming removes a specified portion of the outside edges of the coiled steel to produce a uniform
width. Roller leveling flattens the steel by applying pressure across the width of the steel to make the steel suitable for blanking
and stamping. To achieve high quality and productivity and to be responsive to customers' just-in-time supply requirements, most
of the Company's steel processing operations are computerized and have combined several complementary processing lines, such
as slitting and cutting-to-length at single facilities. In addition to cleaning, leveling and cutting steel, the Company inspects steel
to detect mill production flaws and utilizes computers to provide both visual displays and documented records of the thickness
maintained throughout the entire coil of steel. The Company also performs inventory control services for some customers.
The Company also designs, engineers and produces precision tools and dies, and weld and secondary assembly equipment.
To support the manufacturing process, the Company supplies or sources from third parties the tools and dies used in the blanking
and stamping operations and the welding and secondary assembly equipment used to manufacture modular systems. Advanced
technology is maintained to create products and processes that fulfill customers' advanced product requirements. The Company
has computerized most of the design and engineering portions of the tool and die production process to reduce production time
and cost.

International Operation
The Company's international operation, which is located in Mexico, is subject to various risks that are more likely to affect
this operation than the Company's domestic operations. These include, among other things, exchange rate controls and currency
restrictions, currency fluctuations, changes in local economic conditions, unsettled political conditions, security risk and foreign
government-sponsored boycotts of the Company's products or services for noncommercial reasons. The identifiable assets
associated with the Company's international operation are located where the Company believes the risks to be minimal.
Customers
The Company produces blanked and stamped parts and processed flat-rolled steel for a variety of industrial customers. The
Company supplies steel blanks, stampings and modular assemblies primarily to North American automotive manufacturers and
stampings to Tier I automotive suppliers. The Company also supplies blanks and stampings to manufacturers in the lawn and
garden and heavy duty truck and trailer industries. Finally, the Company processes flat-rolled steel for a number of primary steel
producers.
The Company's largest customer is General Motors Company (“General Motors”). The Company has been working with
General Motors for more than 25 years and operates a vendor-managed program to supply blanks, which program includes on-
site support staff, electronic data interchange, logistics support, a just-in-time delivery system and engineered welded blanks. As
a result of the acquisition of MTD Automotive in November 1999, Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) became another significant
customer. The Company supplies Ford with blanks, deep draw stampings and modular assemblies. The Company also does business
with Chrysler Group LLC (“Chrysler”), and supplies Chrysler with engineered welded blanks, blanks, and deep draw stampings.
In addition, the Company also supplies complex stampings and modular assemblies to Nissan USA ("Nissan").
In fiscal 2011, General Motors and Chrysler accounted for approximately 28.8% and 15.1%, respectively of the Company's
revenues. No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues in fiscal 2011. At October 31,
2011 and 2010, General Motors accounted for 31.4% and 33.3% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively and Chrysler
accounted for 18.7% and 17.5% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively.
Sales and Marketing
The Company operates a sales and technical center in Canton, Michigan, which center is in close proximity to certain of its
automotive customers. The sales and marketing organization is structured to efficiently service all of the Company's key customers
and directly market the Company's automotive and steel processing products and services. The sales force is organized to enable
the Company to target sales and marketing efforts at four distinct types of customers, which include OEM customers, Tier I
suppliers and steel consumers and producers.
The Company's engineering staff provides total program management, technical assistance and advanced product
development support to customers during the product development stage of new vehicle design.
Operations and Engineering
The Company operates eight manufacturing facilities in the United States and one manufacturing facility in Mexico, along
with technical centers in Canton, Michigan and Valley City, Ohio that coordinate advanced product and process development and
applications with its customers and its manufacturing facilities. The Company's manufacturing facilities and technical centers are
strategically located close to its customers' engineering organizations and fabricating-assembly plants. Each facility of the Company
is focused on meeting the business strategy of the Company by optimizing its performance in quality, cost and delivery.
Raw Materials
The basic materials required for the Company's operations are hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated steel. The Company obtains
steel from a number of primary steel producers and steel service centers. The majority of the steel is purchased through customers'
steel buying programs. Under these programs, the Company purchases steel at the steel price that its customers negotiated with
the steel suppliers. These suppliers include AK Steel, AreclorMittal, Severstal and U.S. Steel. Although the Company takes
ownership of the steel, the customers are responsible for all steel price fluctuations. Most of the steel owned by the Company is
purchased domestically. A portion of the steel processing products and services is provided to customers on a toll processing basis.
Under these arrangements, the Company charges a specified fee for operations performed without acquiring ownership of the steel
and being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Through centralized purchasing, the Company attempts
to purchase raw materials at the lowest competitive prices for the quantity purchased. The amount of steel available for processing
is a function of the production levels of primary steel producers.
Competition
Competition for sales of steel blanks and engineered welded blanks is intense, coming from numerous companies, including
independent domestic and international suppliers, and from internal divisions of OEMs, as well as independent domestic and
5
international Tier I and Tier II suppliers, some of which have blanking facilities. Competitors for engineered welded blanks include
TWB Company, LLC, ArcelorMittal Tailores Blanks Americas, Delaco AMTB,and Procoil Company LLC. Competition for sales
of automotive stamping and assemblies is also intense. Primary competitors in North America for the engineered stamping and
assembly business are L&W Inc., Flex-n-Gate, Midway Products Group., Narmco Group and Van -Rob. The methods of competition
with these companies in blanks, engineered welded blanks and automotive stampings and assemblies are product quality, price,
delivery, location and engineering capabilities. Shiloh is the only supplier of engineered welded blanks that is not affiliated with
a steel company.
Employees
As of November 30, 2011, the Company had approximately 1,270 employees. A total of approximately 50 employees at
one of the Company's subsidiaries are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that is due to expire in November 2014.
Backlog
A significant portion of the Company's business pertains to automobile platforms for various model years. Orders against
these platforms are subject to releases by the customer and are not considered technically firm. Backlog, therefore, is not a
meaningful indicator of future performance.
Seasonality
The Company typically experiences decreased revenue and operating income during its first fiscal quarter of each year,
usually resulting from generally lower overall automobile production during November and December. The Company's revenues
and operating income in its third fiscal quarter can also be affected by the typically lower automobile production activities in June
and July due to manufacturers' plant shutdowns and new model changeovers of production lines.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to waterways
and generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and hazardous materials.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations that can require the remediation of contamination that exists at current
or former facilities. In addition, the Company is subject to other federal and state laws and regulations regarding health and safety
matters. Each of the Company's production facilities has permits and licenses allowing and regulating air emissions and water
discharges. While the Company believes that at the present time its production facilities are in substantial compliance with
environmental laws and regulations, these laws and regulations are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict whether
compliance with these laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
ISO 14001 is a voluntary international standard issued in September 1996 by the International Organization for
Standardization. ISO 14001 identifies the elements of an Environmental Management System (“EMS”) necessary for an
organization to effectively manage its effect on the environment. The ultimate objective of the standard is to integrate the EMS
with overall business management processes and systems so that environmental considerations are a routine part of business
decisions. All of the Company's facilities are ISO 14001 certified. The Company has completed the certification process at each
of its nine manufacturing facilities for the latest and highest international quality standard for the automotive industry, ISO/TS
16949:2002. The Company believes this certification is a market requirement for doing business in the automotive industry.
Segment and Geographic Information
The Company conducts its business and reports its information as one operating segment-Automotive Products. The Chief
Executive Officer of the Company has been identified as the chief operating decision maker because he has final authority over
performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, the Company
considered the nature of the business activities, the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities and information
presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration and advice. Furthermore, the Company is a full service manufacturer of
first operation blanks, engineered welded blanks, complex stampings and modular assemblies predominately for the automotive
and heavy truck markets. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same among operations, and all processes entail the
acquisition of steel and the processing of the steel for use in the automotive industry.
Revenues from the Company's foreign subsidiary in Mexico were $29,740 and $23,309 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010,
respectively. These revenues represent 5.7% of total revenues for fiscal 2011 and 5.1% of total revenues for fiscal year 2010.
Long-lived assets consist primarily of net property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets of the Company's foreign subsidiary
totaled $14,708 and $16,078 at October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The consolidated long-lived assets of the Company totaled
$123,971 and $127,252 at October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

General
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Shiloh is a supplier of numerous parts to both automobile original equipment manufactures (“OEMs”) and, as a Tier II
supplier, to Tier I automotive part manufacturers who in turn supply OEMs. The parts that the Company produces supply many
models of vehicles manufactured by nearly all vehicle manufacturers that produce vehicles in North America. As a result, the
Company’s revenues are heavily dependent upon the North American production of automobiles and light trucks, particularly
production of traditional domestic manufacturers, such as General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. According to industry statistics,
traditional domestic manufacturer production for fiscal 2011 increased by 11.3% and total North American car and light truck
production for fiscal 2011 increased by 8.1%, in each case compared with production for fiscal 2010. The continued viability of
the traditional domestic manufacturers is critical to the profitability of the Company.
Another significant factor affecting the Company’s revenues is the Company’s ability to successfully bid on the production
and supply of parts for models that will be newly introduced to the market by the OEMs. These new model introductions typically
go through a start of production phase with build levels that are higher than normal because the consumer supply network is filled
to ensure adequate supply to the market, resulting in an increase in the Company’s revenues for related parts at the beginning of
the cycle.
Plant utilization levels are very important to profitability because of the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s
operations. At October 31, 2011, the Company’s facilities were operating at approximately 46.8%, compared to 41.1% capacity
at October 31, 2010. The Company defines capacity as 20 working hours per day and five days per week (i.e. 3-shift operation).
Utilization of capacity is dependent upon the releases against customer purchase orders that are used to establish production
schedules and manpower and equipment requirements for each month and quarterly period of the fiscal year.
The significant majority of the steel purchased by the Company’s stamping and engineered welded blank operations is
purchased through the customers’ steel programs. Under these programs, the customer negotiates the price for steel with the steel
suppliers. The Company pays for the steel based on these negotiated prices and passes on those costs to the customer. Although
the Company takes ownership of the steel, these customers are responsible for all steel price fluctuations under these programs.
The Company also purchases steel directly from domestic primary steel producers and steel service centers. Domestic steel pricing
has generally been rising on increased demand. Finally, the Company blanks and processes steel for some of its customers on a
toll processing basis. Under these arrangements, the Company charges a tolling fee for the operations that it performs without
acquiring ownership of the steel and being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Toll processing
operations result in lower revenues but higher gross margins than operations where the Company takes ownership of the steel.
Revenues from operations involving directly owned steel include a component of raw material cost whereas toll processing revenues
do not.
Engineered scrap steel is a planned by-product of the Company’s processing operations and part of our quoted cost to
each customer. Net proceeds from the disposition of scrap steel contribute to gross margin by offsetting the increases in the cost
of steel and the attendant costs of quality and availability. Changes in the price of steel impact the Company’s results of operations
because raw material costs are by far the largest component of cost of sales in processing directly owned steel. The Company
actively manages its exposure to changes in the price of steel, and, in most instances, passes along the rising price of steel to its
customers.

Company’s Response to Current Economic Conditions Affecting the Automotive Industry
The production of cars and light trucks for fiscal year 2011 in North America according to industry forecasts (published
by IHS Automotive), was approximately 12,780,000 units, which reflects an improvement of 8.1% over fiscal year 2010’s vehicle
production of approximately 11,820,000 units. The increased production units for fiscal year 2011 is still 14.4% below the industry
average production for the fiscal years 2005 to 2008 of 14,928,000 units. Although overall production was up in fiscal year 2011,
production levels were substantially higher for the traditional domestic manufacturers, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler,
collectively the "Detroit Three," while the Japanese OEM's production levels increased at a significantly lower rate as a result of
supply shortages related to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the
production mix between the Detroit Three and Japanese OEM's began to reverse as the supply shortages subside and the Japanese
OEM's increased their production levels. The increased production market share of the Detroit Three generally benefits our financial
results due to our higher sales content for domestic vehicles compared to Japanese OEM's. The improved vehicle production
reflects an improvement in economic conditions and consumer demand; however the automotive industry’s recovery remains
susceptible to the impacts that consumer income and confidence levels, housing sales, gasoline prices, automobile discount and
incentive offers, and perceptions about global economic stability have on consumer spending.
The Company continues its approach of monitoring closely the customer release volumes as the overall outlook for the
global economy has begun to soften amid concerns of continued high levels of unemployment, the European debt crisis and
geopolitical unrest. These uncertainties may impact the sustainability of improved forecasted production volumes.
The Company continues to follow its previously implemented action plans to respond to changes in customer production
volumes. These include:
•
•
•
•
Challenging customer releases. The Company’s production scheduling is based on releases that are received
weekly for thirteen week periods. The releases drive manning levels and inventory purchases. The Company’s
operations personnel review the releases each week to ensure that the releases are not overly optimistic, a
problem that seems to impact Tier I customers and not OEM manufacturing plants.
Inventory orders. The Company’s operations personnel monitor daily the ordering and receipt of production
material to ensure that inventory will be readily consumed in the manufacturing process and that cash outlays
for purchases coincide with receipts for sale of parts to the Company’s customers.
Manning levels. The Company’s operations personnel also monitor daily the level of personnel required to
fulfill the production schedule by operating the equipment that produces the parts (direct personnel) and to
support the direct personnel efforts (indirect, technical, and administrative staff). Manning is reviewed daily
to react as necessary.
Discretionary spending in support of operations. The Company’s operating personnel also monitor the
spending required for repair and maintenance, purchases of supplies consumed in operating production
equipment and indirect support of operations, such as material handling equipment and utilities.
These daily activities are factored into forecasts for each plant, and are consolidated to provide forecasts of operating
results on a weekly and monthly basis, to reflect the latest developments in terms of customer intelligence and new awards of
business. This process is intended to address the cash needs of the Company considering capital asset and tooling needs related
to new business as well as ongoing cash requirements for operations, payroll, pension contributions, debt repayment requirements,
contingencies and other matters.
All of the above actions are intended to ensure that controllable variable spending is in line with the forecast of sales as
indicated by the customer releases against open purchase orders. Actions are also initiated to monitor selling, general and
administrative costs as well.
The Company also assesses the level of working capital risk with each customer by monitoring accounts receivable and
payable levels to ensure that net balances are either equal or in favor of the Company. The Company also reviews compliance of
the Company’s customers with terms and conditions of their purchase orders and gathers market intelligence on the customers to
consider in assessing any risk in the collection process.
With the conclusion of fiscal 2011, the Company continues to exercise caution as the next fiscal year has begun. The
same disciplined approach that was followed in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 remains in place. According to industry forecasts, car
and light truck production is predicted to increase to approximately 13,720,000 units, which represents a 7.4% improvement over
11
fiscal year 2011's production levels. The Company's approach to monitoring customer release volumes and the adjustment of the
Company's cost structure, as described above, remains appropriate to aid the Company in controlling costs and maintaining or
improving profitability. The Company therefore intends to adjust manning levels and discretionary spending in support of operations
as necessary in relation to customer releases as the releases are updated. In addition, these steps demonstrate the Company’s intent
to stay focused on efficient cost management, to generate cash with a focus on working capital management and capital investment
efficiency and to maintain liquidity and covenant compliance with its amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement dated
April 19, 2011.
Due to uncertain market conditions for industrial real estate, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded
an asset impairment charge of $324 to reduce the carrying value of real property of the Company's VCS Properties facility to a
fair value of $1,900 based primarily on an independent assessment that considered recent sales of similar properties, as well as
an income approach.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $352 based on a negotiated
settlement for approximately 90 employees for severance and health insurance related to the previously announced planned closure
of the Company's plant in Mansfield, Ohio.
The Company has also evaluated plant operations in relation to our customers’ respective geographic footprints. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s plan to purchase a plant site in Bowling Green,
Kentucky for the manufacture of first operation precision blanks and other complementary products that were manufactured at
the Company’s Mansfield, Ohio plant. The plan also included the transfer of other Mansfield business to the Company’s Medina
Blanking facility in Valley City, OH. The Company, therefore, ceased operations of its Mansfield Blanking Division during fiscal
2011 as its work has been relocated to these other plants. The Company has relocated certain machinery and equipment to Bowling
Green or Valley City to support the ongoing business and to service the new business in the Kentucky area. As a result, during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,480 to reduce long lived assets that would
not be transferred to their estimated fair value. The fair value of machinery and equipment, as determined using level 3 inputs,
was zero as the items were old equipment for which the Company has no further use and which had limited use and limited value
in the used equipment market. The Mansfield real property was reduced by $2,095 to a fair value of $3,300 based on an independent
assessment by a real estate firm that considered recent sales of similar properties, tax valuation, and replacement cost value. The
Company also recorded in fiscal year 2010 a restructuring charge of $309 representing the curtailment of the retirement plan of
Mansfield Blanking employees. The Bowling Green, Kentucky plant facility started operations in April 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable;
however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates. The Company has
identified the following items as critical accounting policies and estimates utilized by management in the preparation of the
Company’s preceding financial statements. These estimates were selected because of inherent imprecision that may result from
applying judgment to the estimation process. The expenses and accrued liabilities or allowances related to these policies are initially
based on the Company’s best estimates at the time they are recorded. Adjustments are charged or credited to income and the related
balance sheet account when actual experience differs from the expected experience underlying the estimates. The Company makes
frequent comparisons of actual experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood that material adjustments
will be required.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue both for sales from toll processing and sales of products made
with Company owned steel when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed
or determinable and collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues upon shipment of product to
customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. Price adjustments, including those arising from resolution of
quality issues, price and quantity discrepancies, surcharges for fuel and/or steel and other commercial issues are recognized in the
period when management believes that such amounts become probable, based on management’s estimates.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on several
factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific
allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company
reasonably believes will be collected. Additionally, a general allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical
experience of write-offs and the current financial condition of customers. The financial condition of the Company’s customers is
dependent on, among other things, the general economic environment, which may substantially change, thereby affecting the
recoverability of amounts due to the Company from its customers.
The Company carefully assesses its risk with each of its customers and considers compliance with terms and conditions,
aging of the customer accounts, intelligence learned through contact with customer representatives and its net account receivable /
account payable position with customers, if applicable, in establishing the allowance.
Inventory Reserves. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out
basis. Where appropriate, standard cost systems are used to determine cost and the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure
they approximate actual costs. Estimates of lower of cost or market value of inventory are based upon current economic conditions,
historical sales quantities and patterns, and in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories.
The Company values inventories on a regular basis to identify inventories on hand that may be obsolete or in excess of
current future projected market demand. For inventory deemed to be obsolete, the Company provides a reserve for the full value
of the inventory, net of estimated realizable value. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance
to a level that approximates future demand. Additional inventory reserves may be required if actual market conditions differ from
management’s expectations.
The Company continues to monitor purchases of inventory to insure that receipts coincide with shipments, thereby
reducing the economic risk of holding excessive levels of inventory that could result in long holding periods or in unsalable
inventory leading to losses in conversion.
Income Taxes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Income tax expense
includes U.S. and international income taxes minus tax credits and other incentives that will reduce tax expense in the year they
are claimed. Deferred taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for temporary differences between the financial accounting
and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company assesses both positive and
negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Evidence typically assessed includes the operating results
for the most recent three-year period and, to a lesser extent because of inherent uncertainty, the expectations of future profitability,
available tax planning strategies, the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse and taxable income in prior
carryback years if carryback is permitted under the tax law. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities also involves dealing
with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income
tax positions based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be required. The Company
13
reports interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company has historically performed an annual impairment analysis of long-lived
assets, which only includes property, plant and equipment since the Company has no intangible assets. However, when significant
events, which meet the definition of a “triggering event” in the context of assessing asset impairments, occur within the industry
or within the Company’s primary customer base, an interim impairment analysis is performed. The analysis consists of reviewing
the next five years outlook for sales, profitability, and cash flow for each of the Company’s manufacturing plants and for the overall
Company. The five-year outlook considers known sales opportunities for which purchase orders exist, potential sale opportunities
that are under development, third party forecasts of North American car builds (published by IHS Automotive), and the potential
sales that could result from new manufacturing process additions and lastly, strategic geographic localities that are important to
servicing the automotive industry. All of this data is collected as part of our annual planning process and is updated with more
current Company specific and industry data when an interim period impairment analysis is deemed necessary. In concluding the
impairment analysis, the Company incorporates a sensitivity analysis by probability weighting the achievement of the forecasted
cash flows by plant and achievements of cash flows that are 20% greater and less than the forecasted amounts.
The property, plant and equipment included in the analysis for each plant represents factory facilities devoted to the
Company’s manufacturing processes and the related equipment within each plant needed to perform and support those processes.
The property, plant and equipment of each plant form each plant’s asset group and typically certain key assets in the group form
the primary processes at that plant that generate revenue and cash flow for that facility. Certain key assets have a life of ten to
twelve years and the remainder of the assets in the asset group are shorter-lived assets that support the key processes. When the
analysis indicates that estimated future undiscounted cash flows of a plant are less than the net carrying value of the long-lived
assets of such plant, to the extent that the assets cannot be redeployed to another plant to generate positive cash flow, the Company
will record an impairment charge, reducing the net carrying value of the fixed assets (exclusive of land and buildings, the fair
value of which would be assessed through appraisals) to zero. Alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset group are typically not considered due to the limited-use nature of the equipment and the full utilization of their
useful life. Therefore, the equipment is of limited value in a used-equipment market. The depreciable lives of the Company’s fixed
assets are generally consistent between years unless the assets are devoted to the manufacture of a customized automotive part
and the equipment has limited reapplication opportunities. If the production of that part concludes earlier than expected, the asset
life is shortened to fully amortize its remaining value over the shortened production period.
The Company cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events. Such events may include, but are
not limited to, significant industry or economic trends and strategic decisions made in response to changes in the economic and
competitive conditions impacting the Company’s business. Based on the current facts, the Company recorded an impairment
charge related to long-lived assets of $324 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and $4,575 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. See
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.
The Company continues to assess impairment to long-lived assets based on expected orders from the Company’s customers and
current business conditions.
The key assumptions related to the Company’s forecasted operating results could be adversely impacted by, among other
things, decreases in estimated North American car builds during the forecast period, the inability of the Company or its major
customers to maintain their respective forecasted market share positions, the inability of the Company to achieve the forecasted
levels of operating margins on parts produced, and a deterioration in property values associated with manufacturing facilities.
Group Insurance and Workers’ Compensation Accruals. The Company is self-insured for group insurance and workers’
compensation claims and reviews these accruals on a monthly basis to adjust the balances as determined necessary. The Company
reviews historical claims data and lag analysis as the primary indicators of the accruals.
Additionally, the Company reviews specific large insurance claims to determine whether there is a need for additional
accrual on a case-by-case basis. Changes in the claim lag periods and the specific occurrences could materially impact the required
accrual balance period-to-period. The Company carries excess insurance coverage for group insurance and workers’ compensation
claims exceeding a range of $160-170 and $100-500 per plan year, respectively, dependent upon the location where the claim is
incurred. At October 31, 2011 and 2010, the amount accrued for group insurance and workers’ compensation claims was $2,233
and $2,160, respectively. The self-insurance reserves established are a result of safety statistics, changes in employment levels,
number of open and active workers’ compensation cases, and group insurance plan design features. The Company does not self-
insure for any other types of losses.
Share-Based Payments. The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards
over the remaining vesting period. The Company has elected to use the simplified method to calculate the expected term of the
stock options outstanding at five to six years and has utilized historical weighted average volatility. The Company determines the
14
volatility and risk-free rate assumptions used in computing the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, in
consultation with an outside third party.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected
life of the stock-based award and stock price volatility. The assumptions used are management’s best estimates, but the estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the
recorded stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different from that depicted in the financial statements.
In addition, the Company has estimated a 20% forfeiture rate. If actual forfeitures materially differ from the estimate, the share-
based compensation expense could be materially different.
Pension and Other Post-retirement Costs and Liabilities. The Company has recorded significant pension and other post-
retirement benefit liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. The determination of the Company’s pension liabilities
requires key assumptions regarding discount rates used to determine the present value of future benefit payments and the expected
return on plan assets. The discount rate is also significant to the development of other post-retirement liabilities. The Company
determines these assumptions in consultation with, and after input from, its actuaries.
The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which the pension and other post-retirement liabilities could be settled at
the end of the year. Beginning in 2010, the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") has replaced the Citigroup
Pension Discount Curve ("Citigroup Curve") as the basis for determining the discount rate for reporting pension and retiree medical
liabilities. The Principal Curve has several advantages to the Citigroup Curve that was used in fiscal 2009, including: transparency
of construction, lower statistical errors, and continuous forward rates for all years. At October 31, 2011, the resulting discount
rate from the use of the Principal Curve was 5.00%, a decrease of .50% from a year earlier that resulted in an increase of the benefit
obligation of approximately $4,297. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate at October 31, 2011 would increase or decrease
expense on an annual basis by approximately $18.
The assumed long-term rate of return on pension assets is applied to the market value of plan assets to derive a reduction
to pension expense that approximates the expected average rate of asset investment return over ten or more years. A decrease in
the expected long-term rate of return will increase pension expense whereas an increase in the expected long-term rate will reduce
pension expense. Decreases in the level of plan assets will serve to increase the amount of pension expense whereas increases in
the level of actual plan assets will serve to decrease the amount of pension expense. Any shortfall in the actual return on plan
assets from the expected return will increase pension expense in future years due to the amortization of the shortfall, whereas any
excess in the actual return on plan assets from the expected return will reduce pension expense in future periods due to the
amortization of the excess. A change of 25 basis points in the assumed rate of return on pension assets would increase or decrease
pension assets by approximately $119.
The Company’s investment policy for assets of the plans is to maintain an allocation generally of 0% to 70% in equity
securities, 0% to 70% in debt securities, and 0% to 10% in real estate. Equity security investments are structured to achieve an
equal balance between growth and value stocks. The Company determines the annual rate of return on pension assets by first
analyzing the composition of its asset portfolio. Historical rates of return are applied to the portfolio. The Company’s investment
advisors and actuaries review this computed rate of return. Industry comparables and other outside guidance are also considered
in the annual selection of the expected rates of return on pension assets.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2011, the actual return on pension plans’ assets for all of the Company’s plans
approximated 3.83% to 3.90%, which is below the expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.50% used to derive pension expense.
The long term expected rate of return takes into account years with exceptional gains and years with exceptional losses.
Actual results that differ from these estimates may result in more or less future Company funding into the pension plans
than is planned by management. Based on current market investment performance, the Company anticipates that contributions to
the Company’s defined benefit plans will increase in fiscal 2012, and that pension expense will increase in fiscal 2012 as well.

Results of Operations
Year Ended October 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 2010
REVENUES. Sales for fiscal 2011 were $517,743, an increase of $60,471 over fiscal 2010 of $457,272, or 13.2%. Sales
increased during fiscal 2011 as a result of increased production volumes of the North American car and light truck manufacturers,
especially the traditional domestic manufacturers, the Company’s major customers. According to industry statistics, North
American car and light truck production for fiscal 2011 increased 8.1% from production levels of fiscal 2010 and traditional
domestic manufacturer production for fiscal 2011 increased by 11.3% compared with production levels in fiscal 2010. Sales also
increased due to improving demand of the heavy truck industry that the Company also serves.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for fiscal 2011 was $38,936 compared to gross profit of $34,662 in fiscal 2010, an increase
of $4,274. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 7.5% for fiscal 2011 and 7.6% fiscal 2010. Gross profit in fiscal 2011 was
favorably impacted by approximately $13,500 from the increased sales volume. Gross profit margin was unfavorably affected by
a change in sales mix to increased sales with steel ownership and increasing material costs, net of revenue realized from the sales
of engineered scrap during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, resulting in a net material increase of approximately $2,900. In
addition, manufacturing expenses increased by approximately $6,330 during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Personnel and
personnel related expenses, including the restoration of certain benefits, like the 401k Company match, were responsible for the
growth in these expenses by approximately $6,540 as the Company’s workforce was increased in anticipation of improved
production volumes, planning for future launches, and planning for further increases in North American vehicle production volumes.
Expenses for repairs and maintenance and manufacturing supplies increased by approximately $4,160. These increases were offset
by a reduction in depreciation and utilities of approximately $4,380.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $23,658
for fiscal 2011 were $3,742 more than selling, general and administrative expenses of $19,916 for the prior year. As a percentage
of sales, these expenses were 4.6% of sales for fiscal 2011 and 4.4% for fiscal 2010. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses reflects higher personnel and personnel related expenses of approximately $2,960 as result of the restoration
of certain benefits, like the 401k Company match.
ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company
recorded an asset impairment charge of $324 to reduce the real property of the Company's VCS Properties facility to a fair value
of $1,900 based primarily on an independent assessment that considered recent sales of similar properties, and an income based
valuation approach.
Impairment recoveries of $230 were recorded during fiscal 2011 for cash received upon sales of assets from the Company's
Liverpool Stamping facility that was impaired in fiscal 2009.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $352 based on a negotiated
settlement with approximately 90 employees for severance and health insurance related to the previously announced planned
closure of the Company's plant in Mansfield, Ohio.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s plan to purchase a plant site in
Bowling Green, Kentucky for the manufacture of first operation precision blanks and other complementary products that were
manufactured at the Company’s Mansfield, Ohio plant. The plan also included the transfer of other Mansfield business to the
Company’s Medina Blanking facility in Valley City, OH. The Company, therefore, ceased operations of its Mansfield Blanking
Division during fiscal 2011 as its work has been relocated to these other plants. The Company has relocated certain machinery
and equipment to Bowling Green or Valley City to support the ongoing business and to service the new business in the Kentucky
area. As a result, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,480 to reduce
long lived assets that will not be transferred to their estimated fair value. The fair value of machinery and equipment, as determined
using level 3 inputs, was zero as the items are old equipment for which the Company has no further use and it has limited use and
limited value in the used equipment market. The Mansfield real property was reduced by $2,095 to a fair value of $3,300 based
on an independent assessment by a real estate firm that considered recent sales of similar properties, tax valuation, and replacement
cost value. The Company also recorded a restructuring charge of $309 representing the curtailment of the retirement plan of
Mansfield Blanking employees. Recovery of previously impaired assets from the sales of equipment from a former Company
facility of $48 reduced the Mansfield impairment charge to a net amount of $4,527.
OTHER. Interest expense for fiscal 2011 was $1,714, compared to interest expense of $3,757 for fiscal 2010. Interest
expense decreased from the prior year as a result of a reduced level of average borrowed funds and the impact of the amended
and restated Credit and Security Agreement, which lowered the weighted average interest rate during fiscal 2011 compared to the
16
prior year. Borrowed funds averaged $28,552 during fiscal 2011 and the weighted average interest rate was 3.03%. In fiscal 2010,
borrowed funds averaged $40,364 while the weighted average interest rate was 6.51%.
Other expense, net was $40 for fiscal 2011 compared to a net expense of $253 for fiscal 2010. Other income and other
expense in both fiscal 2011 and 2010 is the result of currency transaction losses realized by the Company's Mexican subsidiary.
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2011 was an expense of $5,236 on income before taxes of $13,081 for an effective
tax rate of 40.0%. In fiscal year 2010 the provision for income taxes was $2,041 on income before taxes of $5,902 for an effective
tax rate of 34.6%. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 and 2010 included the losses of the Company's Mexican subsidiary, for
which no tax benefit could be recorded. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 has increased 5.4 percentage points compared to
fiscal 2010 primarily from a decrease in domestic production activities deduction expected for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal
2010, for adjustments to previously filed tax returns and an offsetting decrease in state income taxes.
NET INCOME. The net income for fiscal 2011 was $7,845, or $0.47 per share, diluted compared to net income in fiscal
year 2010 of $3,861 or $0.23 per share, diluted.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 1, 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders with PNC Bank National
Association, successor of National City Bank, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent and The Privatebank
and Trust Company as co-lead arranger and syndication agent. The initial agreement provided the Company with a revolving line
of credit up to $120 million with the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $80 million at then current market rates. The Credit
Agreement also established limits for additional borrowings, dividends, investments, acquisitions or mergers and sales of assets.
On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) of the Credit
Agreement. The Fifth Amendment provided the Company with a revolving line of credit up to $80 million through July 31, 2012.
The Company also had the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $80 million, at the current market rates. The Company was
permitted to prepay the borrowings under the revolving credit facility without penalty. Under the Fifth Amendment, the Company
had the option to select the applicable interest rate based upon two indices – a Base Rate, a daily rate based on the highest of the
prime rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate plus one-half of one percent or the daily LIBOR plus one percent, as defined in the Fifth
Amendment, or the Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Fifth Amendment. The selected index was combined with a designated
margin from an agreed upon pricing matrix.
On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with a syndicate of lenders led by The Privatebank and Trust Company, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative
agent and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as co-lead arranger and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. The Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008.
The Agreement has a five-year term and provides for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit which may be
increased up to $120 million subject to the Company’s pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent’s
approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase. The Company is permitted to prepay the borrowings under
the revolving credit facility without penalty.
Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the LIBOR or the base (or “prime”) rate
established from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable margin set forth in a matrix based on
the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition to interest charges, the Company will pay in arrears a quarterly commitment fee ranging
from 0.375% - 0.750% based on the Company’s daily revolving exposure. At October 31, 2011, the interest rate for the credit
facility was 2.75% for Eurodollar rate loans and 4.25% for base rate loans.
The Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding the Company’s
outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Agreement specifies that the leverage
ratio shall not exceed 2.25 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement. Also, the Agreement specifies that the fixed charge ratio
shall not be less than 2.50 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants
as October 31, 2011.
The Agreement specifies that upon the occurrence of an event or condition deemed to have a material adverse effect on
the business or operations of the Company, as determined by the administrative agent of the lending syndicate or the required
lenders, defined as 51% of the aggregate commitment under the Agreement, the outstanding borrowings become due and payable
at the option of the required lenders. The Company does not anticipate at this time any change in business conditions or operations
that could be deemed a material adverse effect by the lenders.
Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible
and intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
After considering letters of credit of $1,748 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Credit Agreement
were $52,552 at October 31, 2011.
In July 2011, the Company entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that
bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.67% and requires monthly payments of $65 through April 2012. As of October 31, 2011, $428
remained outstanding under this agreement and were classified as current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
In June 2004, the Company issued a $2,000 promissory note to the State of Ohio related to specific machinery and
equipment at one of the Company’s Ohio facilities. The promissory note bears interest at 1% for the first year of the term and
3% per annum for the balance of the term, with interest only payments for the first year of the term. Principal payments began in
18
August 2005 in the amount of $25, and monthly principal payments continued increasing annually thereafter until July 2011, when
the loan matured. The balance due the State of Ohio at October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 was $0 and $270, respectively.
Scheduled repayments under the terms of the Credit Agreement plus repayments of other debt for the next five years are

At October 31, 2011, total debt was $26,128 and total equity was $107,652, resulting in a capitalization rate of 19.5%
debt, 80.5% equity. Current assets were $116,703 and current liabilities were $81,375 resulting in positive working capital of
$35,328.
For fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, operations generated $33,519 of cash flow compared to $32,928 in fiscal year
2010.
Working capital changes since October 31, 2010 were a use of funds of $12,958. During fiscal 2011, accounts receivable
have increased by $4,006 in connection with the increased sales volume experienced in fiscal 2011. Inventory increased by $13,057
since the end of fiscal 2010. Considering the increase in overdraft balances of $1,436, accounts payable, net have increased $3,042.
The increase in raw material inventories of approximately $6,400 is a result of increased sales volumes along with
increased sales with steel ownership. The increase in finished goods inventory of approximately $2,300 includes approximately
$1,700 of a bank of parts produced by the Company's Mansfield facility to facilitate its closure as of October 2011 and supply a
two to fourteen week requirement of parts for certain customers that will ship throughout the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Tooling
inventories increased approximately $4,000 for customer reimbursed production tooling related to new program awards that go
into production throughout fiscal 2012.
Cash capital expenditures in fiscal 2011 were $18,452. The Company had unpaid capital expenditures of approximately
$614 at the end of fiscal 2011 and such amounts are included in accounts payable and excluded from capital expenditures in the
accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company continues to closely monitor business conditions that are currently affecting the automotive industry and
therefore, to closely monitor the Company's working capital position to insure adequate funds for operations. The Company
anticipates that funds from operations will be adequate to meet the obligations of the amended and restated Credit and Security
Agreement through maturity of the agreement in April 2016, as well as pension contributions of $5,910 during fiscal 2012, capital
expenditures for fiscal 2012 and repayment of the other debt of $428.
As of October 31, 2011, the Company has $621 of commitments for capital expenditures and $7,615 of commitments
under non-cancelable operating leases. These capital expenditures in 2012 are for the support of current and new business, expected
increases in existing business and enhancements of production processes.
Effect of Inflation, Deflation
Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing
the cost of labor, equipment and raw materials. Inflation has not generally had a material effect on the Company’s financial results.
In periods of decreasing prices, deflation occurs and may also affect the Company’s results of operations. With respect
to steel purchases, the Company’s purchases of steel through customers’ resale steel programs protects recovery of the cost of
steel through the selling price of the Company’s products. For non-resale steel purchases, the Company coordinates the cost of
steel purchases with the related selling price of the product.
19
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.
New Accounting Standards
During fiscal 2011, several new accounting standards became effective for the Company. These new standards are included
in the following topics of the FASB ASC: Topic 310, “Receivables,” Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” and Topic 220
"Comprehensive Income." The first two standards were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the changes did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The last standard, "Comprehensive Income", becomes effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company would be the first quarter ended January 31, 2013.
This standard requires that other comprehensive income be presented as either a separate statement, or as an addition to the
statement of income and prohibits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity. As
the Company has historically presented other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity, the Company
will have to retroactively restate its financial statements for this change upon adoption of this accounting standard.
Effect of Inflation, Deflation
Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing
the cost of labor, equipment and raw materials. The level of inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's financial
results for the past three years.
In periods of decreasing prices, deflation occurs and may also affect the Company's results of operations. With respect to
steel purchases, the Company's purchases of steel through customers' resale steel programs protects recovery of the cost of steel
through the selling price of the Company's products. For non-resale steel purchases, the Company coordinates the cost of steel
purchases with the related selling price of the product.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Shiloh Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shiloh Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation)
and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Our audits of the basic consolidated
financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)(2).
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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
Company'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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

engineered welded blanks. Engineered welded blanks generally consist of two or more sheets of steel of the same or different
material grade, thickness, or coating that are welded together utilizing both mash seam resistance and laser welding. The Company's
stampings are principally used as components in mufflers, seat frames, structural rails, window lifts, heat shields, vehicle brakes
and other structural body components.
The Company also builds modular assemblies, which include components used in the structural and powertrain systems of
a vehicle. Structural systems include bumper beams, door impact beams, steering column supports, chassis components and
structural underbody modules. Powertrain systems consist of deep draw components, such as oil pans, transmission pans and
valve covers. Additionally, the Company provides a variety of intermediate steel processing services, such as oiling, leveling,
cutting-to-length, multi-blanking, slitting, edge trimming of hot and cold-rolled steel coils and inventory control services for
automotive and steel industry customers. The Company has fourteen wholly-owned subsidiaries at locations in Ohio, Michigan,
Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mexico.
More than 50% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock are owned by MTD Holdings Inc and the MTD
Products Inc Master Employee Benefit Trust, a trust fund established and sponsored by MTD Products, making MTD a related
party of the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue both for sales from toll processing and sales of products made with Company owned steel
when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues upon shipment of product to customers and transfer
of title under standard commercial terms. Price adjustments including those arising from resolution of quality issues, price and
quantity discrepancies, surcharges for fuel and/or steel and other commercial issues are recognized in the period when management
believes that such amounts become probable, based on management's estimates.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies all amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as revenue
and the costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as costs of sales.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals are charged to expense
as incurred, while major improvements are capitalized. The cost of these improvements is depreciated over their estimated useful
lives. Useful lives range from three to twelve years for furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment, or if the assets are
dedicated to a customer program, over the estimated life of that program, ten to twenty years for land improvements and twenty
to forty years for buildings and their related improvements. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss on the disposition is included in the earnings
for the current period.
Employee Benefit Plans
The Company accrues the cost of defined benefit pension plans, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 715 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.” The
plans are funded based on the requirements and limitations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The majority
of employees of the Company also participate in discretionary profit sharing plans administered by the Company. The Company
also provides postretirement benefits to approximately 32 former employees.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation cost for share-based awards based upon fair value. The Company has elected to use
the simplified method of calculating the expected term of the stock options and historical volatility to compute fair value under
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S.
zero coupon Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. Forfeitures have been estimated based upon the Company's historical
experience.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Income tax expense includes U.S.
and international income taxes minus tax credits and other incentives that will reduce tax expense in the year they are claimed.
Deferred taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for temporary differences between the financial accounting and income
tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce
net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company assesses both positive and negative
evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Evidence typically assessed includes the operating results for the
most recent three-year period and, to a lesser extent because of inherent uncertainty, the expectations of future profitability, available
tax planning strategies, the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse and taxable income in prior carryback
years if carryback is permitted under the tax law. The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities also involves dealing with
uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income tax
positions based on the Company's estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be required. The Company
reports interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.
Impairment
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances which
could cause an impairment include significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results,
significant changes in the manner of the use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business or significant negative industry
or economic trends. The Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as net income (loss) and changes in stockholders' equity from non-owner sources which,
for the Company in the periods presented, consists of pension related liability adjustments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Statement of Cash Flows Information
Cash and cash equivalents include checking accounts and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less.
Concentration of Risk
The Company sells products to customers primarily in the automotive and heavy truck industries. Financial instruments,
which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, are primarily accounts receivable. The Company performs
on-going credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The allowance for non-collection of accounts receivable is based
on the expected collectability of all accounts receivable. Losses have historically been within management's expectations. The
Company does not have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Refer to Note 14-Business Segment Information for
discussion of concentration of revenues.
As of October 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 1,273 employees. A total of approximately 50 employees at one
of the Company's subsidiaries are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that is due to expire in November 2014.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the Company's debt is considered to approximate the fair value of these
instruments based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not engage in derivatives trading, market-making or other speculative activities. The intent of any
contracts entered by the Company is to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting foreign currency purchase commitments.
The Company's risks related to foreign currency exchange risks have historically not been material. The Company does not expect
the effects of these risks to be material in the future based on current operating and economic conditions in the countries and
markets in which it operates. These contracts are marked-to-market and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations. As of October 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding.
Guarantees
The Company has certain indemnification clauses within its credit facility and certain lease agreements that are considered
to be guarantees within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 460, “Guarantees”. The Company does not consider these guarantees to be
probable and the Company cannot estimate the maximum exposure. Additionally, the Company's exposure to warranty-related
obligations is not material.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon current
available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Prior Year Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Other New Accounting Standards
During fiscal 2011, several new accounting standards became effective for the Company. These new standards are included
in the following topics of the FASB ASC: Topic 310, “Receivables,” Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” and Topic 220
"Comprehensive Income." The first two standards were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the changes did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The last standard, "Comprehensive Income," becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company would be the first quarter ended January 31,
2013. This standard requires that other comprehensive income be presented as either a separate statement, or as an addition to
the statement of income and prohibits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity.
29
SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
As the Company has historically presented other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity, the
Company will have to retroactively restate its financial statements for this change upon adoption of this accounting standard.
Note 2—Asset Impairment and Restructuring Charges
Due to uncertain market conditions for industrial real estate, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded
an asset impairment charge of $324 to reduce the carrying value of real property of the Company's VCS Properties facility to a
fair value of $1,900 based primarily on an independent assessment that considered recent sales of similar properties, as well as
an income approach.
Impairment recoveries of $230 were recorded during fiscal 2011 for cash received upon the sales of assets from the
Company's Liverpool Stamping facility that was impaired in fiscal 2009.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $352 based on a negotiated
settlement with approximately 90 employees for severance and health insurance related to the previously announced planned
closure of the Company's plant in Mansfield, Ohio.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to purchase a plant site in
Bowling Green, Kentucky for the manufacture of first operation precision blanks and other complementary products that were
manufactured at the Company's plant in Mansfield, Ohio. The plan also included the transfer of other Mansfield business to the
Company's Medina Blanking facility in Valley City, Ohio. The Company, therefore, ceased operations of its Mansfield Blanking
Division during fiscal 2011 as its work has been relocated to these other plants. The Company has relocated certain machinery
and equipment to Bowling Green or Valley City to support the ongoing business and to service the new business in the Kentucky
area. As a result, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,480 to reduce long
lived assets that would not be transferred to their estimated fair value. The fair value of machinery and equipment, as determined
using level 3 inputs, was zero as the items were worn equipment for which the Company had no further use and they have limited
use and limited value in the used equipment market. The Mansfield real property was reduced by $2,095 to a fair value of $3,300
based on an independent assessment by a real estate firm that considered recent sales of similar properties, tax valuation, and
replacement cost value. The Company also recorded a restructuring charge of $309 in fiscal year 2010 representing the curtailment
of the retirement plan of Mansfield Blanking employees. Recovery of previously impaired assets from the sale of equipment from
a former Company facility of $48 reduced the Mansfield impairment charge to a net amount of $4,527.

aggregated $566 and $1,393 at October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The increase in raw material inventories of approximately $6,400 is a result of increased sales volumes along with
increased sales with steel ownership. The increase in finished goods inventory of approximately $2,300 includes approximately
$1,700 of a bank of parts produced by the Company's Mansfield facility to facilitate its closure as of October 2011 and supply a
two to fourteen week requirement of parts for certain customers that will ship throughout the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Tooling
inventories increased approximately $4,000 for customer reimbursed production tooling related to new program awards that go
into production throughout fiscal 2012.

The weighted average interest rate of all debt was 3.03% and 6.51% for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.
On August 1, 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders with PNC Bank National
Association, successor of National City Bank, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent and The Privatebank
and Trust Company as co-lead arranger and syndication agent. The initial agreement provided the Company with a revolving line
of credit up to $120 million with the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $80 million at the current market rates. The Credit
Agreement also established limits for additional borrowings, dividends, investments, acquisitions or mergers and sales of assets.
On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) of the Credit
Agreement. The Fifth Amendment provided the Company with a revolving line of credit up to $80 million through July 31, 2012.
The Company also had the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $80 million, at the current market rates. The Company was
permitted to prepay the borrowings under the revolving credit facility without penalty. Under the Fifth Amendment, the Company
had the option to select the applicable interest rate based upon two indices – a Base Rate, a daily rate based on the highest of the
prime rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate plus one-half of one percent or the daily LIBOR plus one percent, as defined in the Fifth
Amendment, or the Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Fifth Amendment. The selected index is combined with a designated margin
from an agreed upon pricing matrix.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with a syndicate of lenders led by The Privatebank and Trust Company, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative
agent and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as co-lead arranger and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. The Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008.
The Agreement has a five-year term and provides for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit (which may be
increased up to $120 million subject to the Company’s pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent’s
approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase). The Company is permitted to prepay the borrowings under
the revolving credit facility without penalty.
Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the LIBOR or the base (or “prime”) rate
established from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable margin set forth in a matrix based on
the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition to interest charges, the Company will pay in arrears a quarterly commitment fee ranging
from 0.375% - 0.750% based on the Company’s daily revolving exposure. At October 31, 2011, the interest rate for the credit
facility was 2.75% for Eurodollar rate loans and 4.25% for base rate loans.
The Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding the Company’s
outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Agreement specifies that the leverage
ratio shall not exceed 2.25 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement. Also, the Agreement specifies that the fixed charge ratio
shall not be less than 2.50 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants
as of October 31, 2011.
The Agreement specifies that upon the occurrence of an event or condition deemed to have a material adverse effect on
the business or operations of the Company, as determined by the administrative agent of the lending syndicate or the required
lenders, defined as 51% of the aggregate commitment under the Agreement, the outstanding borrowings become due and payable
at the option of the required lenders. The Company does not anticipate at this time any change in business conditions or operations
that could be deemed a material adverse effect by the lenders.
After considering letters of credit of $1,748 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Credit Agreement
were $52,552 at October 31, 2011.
Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible
and intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
In July 2011, the Company entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that
bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.67% and requires monthly payments of $65 through April 2012. As of October 31, 2011, $428
remained outstanding under this agreement and was classified as current debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
In June 2004, the Company issued a $2,000 promissory note to the State of Ohio related to specific machinery and
equipment at one of the Company’s Ohio facilities. The promissory note bore interest at 1% for the first year of the term and
3% per annum for the balance of the term, with interest only payments for the first year of the term. Principal payments began in
August 2005 in the amount of $25, and monthly principal payments continued increasing annually thereafter until July 2011, when
the loan matured. The balance due the State of Ohio at October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 was $0 and $270, respectively.

The Company leases material handling, manufacturing and office equipment under operating leases with terms that range
from three to ten years at inception. The leases do not include step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvement funding
or other lease concessions that qualify the leases as a contingent rental. Also, the leases do not include a variable related to a
published index. The Company's operating leases are charged to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
The longest lease term of the Company's current leases extends to November 2016. Rent expense under operating leases for
fiscal years 2011 and 2010 was $2,382 and $2,977, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases are as
follows at October 31, 2011:

These assumptions are used to develop the projected obligation at fiscal year end and to develop net periodic benefit cost
for the subsequent fiscal year. Therefore, for fiscal 2011, the assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit costs were
established at October 31, 2010, while the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations were established at October 31,
2011. Beginning in 2010, the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") has replaced the Citigroup Pension
Discount Curve ("Citigroup Curve") as the basis for determining the discount rate for reporting pension and retiree medical
liabilities. The Principal Curve has several advantages to the Citigroup Curve including: transparency of construction, lower
statistical errors, and continuous forward rates for all years. At October 31, 2011 the resulting discount rate from the use of the
Principal Curve was 5.00%, a decrease of .50% from a year ago that resulted in an increase of the benefit obligation of approximately
$4,297.
The Company determines the annual rate of return on pension assets by first analyzing the composition of its asset portfolio.
Historical rates of return are applied to the portfolio. The Company's outside investment advisors and actuaries review the computed
rate of return. Industry comparables and other outside guidance are also considered in the annual selection of the expected rates
of return on pension assets. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets takes into account years with exceptional gains
and years with exceptional losses.

The Company's investment policy for assets of the plans is to obtain a reasonable long-term return consistent with the
level of risk assumed. The Company also seeks to control the cost of funding the plans within prudent levels of risk through the
investment of plan assets and the Company seeks to provide diversification of assets in an effort to avoid the risk of large losses
and to maximize the return to the plans consistent with market and economic risk.

Fair Value
The plans' investments are reported at fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
basis.
Dividends are recorded on the
date.
Fair value is the price that would be received by the plans for an asset or paid by the plans to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in the plans' principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are determined by maximizing the use of observable
inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy places the highest priority on
unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and gives the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are defined as
follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the plans have the ability to
access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the plans' own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In some cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value may include inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The following descriptions of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the plans to estimate the fair values of
investments apply to investments held directly by the plans.
Mutual funds: The fair values of mutual fund investments are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally
recognized securities exchanges (level 1 inputs).
Pooled separate accounts: The fair values of participation units held in pooled separate accounts are based on their net
asset values, as reported by the managers of the pooled separate accounts as supported by the unit prices of actual purchase and
sale transactions occurring as of or close to the financial statement date (level 2 inputs). With the exception of the Principal U.S.
Property Separate Account, a fund sponsored by Principal Financial Group, investment and actuarial advisors of the Company,
each of the pooled separate accounts invests in multiple securities. With the exception of the Principal U.S. Property Separate
Account, each pooled separate account provides for daily redemptions by the plans with no advance notice requirements, and has
redemption prices that are determined by the fund's net asset value per unit. Due to illiquidity of the underlying assets of the
Principal U.S. Property Separate Account, which is an open-end, commingled real estate account and a separate account of Principal
Life Insurance Company (Principal), Principal has imposed a withdrawal limitation which delays the payment of withdrawal
requests and provides for payment of such requests on a pro rata basis as cash becomes available for distribution, as determined
by Principal. While the fair value of the plans' interest in the Principal U.S. Property Separate Account has been determined based
upon the net asset value of the Principal U.S. Property Separate Account, this fair value measurement is reported as including
level 3 inputs because of the nature of the redemption restrictions.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company 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.

Defined Contribution Plans
In addition to the defined benefit plans described above, the Company maintains a number of defined contribution plans.
Under the terms of the plans, eligible employees may contribute a selected percentage of their base pay. The Company matches
a percentage of the employees' contributions up to a stated percentage, subject to statutory limitations. During fiscal 2007, the
Company began automatically enrolling new employees in the defined contribution plan as well as automatically increasing
employee contributions by 1% annually, unless the employee opts out of the enrollment or contribution increases. Additionally,
the Company increased the match of employee contributions to 100% of the first 3% of employee deferrals, and to contribute an
additional 50% of deferrals of 4-5% of employee contributions. For fiscal 2010, the Company temporarily suspended the match
of employee contributions in recognition of the economic conditions that were affecting the automotive industry and the Company
at that time. Therefore, the Company recorded no expense during fiscal year 2010 for its defined contribution plans. Effective
November 1, 2010, the Company reinstated the matching program and recorded an expense of $1,278 during fiscal 2011.
Note 10-Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. In addition, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to stock options
outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan are included in the diluted earnings
per share calculation to the extent they are dilutive. For the years ended October 31, 2011and 2010, approximately 240,000 and 457,000
stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The
following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for net income
per share:

Note 11—Stock Options and Incentive Compensation
For the Company, FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” affects the stock options that have been
granted and requires the Company to expense share-based payment (“SBP”) awards with compensation cost for SBP transactions
measured at fair value. The Company has elected to use the simplified method of calculating the expected term of the stock options
and historical volatility to compute fair value under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate for periods within
the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. zero coupon Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. Forfeitures have
been estimated based upon the Company’s historical experience.
1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Program (as amended and
restated December 12, 2002 and December 10, 2009) (the “Incentive Plan”), which authorizes grants to officers and other key
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries of (i) stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options,
(ii) nonqualified stock options and (iii) restricted stock awards. An aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment upon occurrence of certain events to prevent dilution or expansion of the rights of participants that might otherwise
result from the occurrence of such events, has been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. An individual’s award is
limited to 500,000 shares in a five-year period.
Non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options have been granted to date and all options have been granted at
an exercise price at least equal to market price at the date of grant. Options expire over a period not to exceed ten years from the
date of grant and vest ratably over a three year period. In December 2010 options to purchase 154,000 shares were awarded to
several officers and employees at an exercise price of $12.04 for stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock
options and $13.24 for nonqualified stock options. A summary of option activity under the plans is as follows:

For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense related to the stock
options currently vesting, effectively reducing pretax income by $799 and $646, respectively. The impact on earnings per share
for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was a reduction of $.03 per share basic and diluted. The total
compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 is a total of $1,191 and $782,
respectively, which will be recognized over the next two fiscal years.
The fair values of these options were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions used for grants awarded during fiscal year 2011:

Executive Incentive Bonus Plans
The Company maintains a Senior Management Bonus Plan (the “Management Plan”) to provide the Chief Executive Officer
and certain eligible executive officers incentives for superior performance. The Management Plan, which was reapproved by the
stockholders of the Company and is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, entitles the executives
to be paid a cash bonus based upon the attainment of objective performance criteria established annually by the Compensation
Committee. In accordance with the Plan, the Compensation Committee has typically established performance goals. However,
because of the economic conditions that were affecting the automotive industry during 2008, 2009, and the beginning of 2010, a
cash bonus for the executives who are members of the Management Plan was not earned in fiscal 2009 and performance criteria
were not established for 2010 and therefore no expense was incurred. For fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee established
goals based on the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), entitling these executives
42
SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
to be paid a bonus based upon varying percentages of their respective base salaries and the level of achievement of EBITDA in
relation to the target established by the Compensation Committee. For fiscal 2011, these executives are entitled to receive an
aggregate of $719 under the Management Plan.
The Company maintains a Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), which provides annual incentive bonuses to
its eligible employees (other than those employees that participate in the Management Plan). The measurement criteria for the
Bonus Plan, including eligible employees, is determined annually by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board
of Directors. Payments are made to participants of the Bonus Plan based upon the achievement of defined objectives. In the case
of corporate executives eligible for the Bonus Plan, 100% of the incentive depends upon meeting the goals for Company
performance. Finally, in the case of the remaining employees eligible for the Bonus Plan, 50% of the incentive depends upon
meeting the operating targets and metrics of the employees' operating unit including specific individual goals as established by
the Chief Executive Officer and 50% is based upon attaining the corporate goals for Company performance.

As required by FASB ASC Topic 740, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only
after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position. For tax positions meeting the
more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than
50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate was $695 at October 31,
2011 and $553 at October 31, 2010. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as part of income tax expense. The Company recognized $173 of expense in 2011 and $77 of benefit in 2010 for interest and
penalties. The Company had accrued $860 at October 31, 2011 and $687 at October 31, 2010, for the payment of interest and
penalties.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions.
Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant
judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations
by tax authorities for the years ending prior to October 31, 2008 and no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for
calendar years ending prior to December 31, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that within the next 12 months the total
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statute of limitations.
During October 2007, the Mexican Congress passed the Initiative to Amend the Tax Coordination Law and Income Tax
Law. Effective January 1, 2008, a flat tax supplements the regular income tax. In conjunction with this law change, a deferred tax
asset for Mexican tax credits in the amount of $1,037 was recorded as of October 31, 2008. While future projections for taxable
income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies have been considered in assessing the need for the valuation
allowance, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax credits will not be realized. Therefore, a valuation
allowance in the amount of $1,037 was recorded in fiscal 2008. The comparable amount in fiscal 2011 and 2010 was $786 and
$901, respectively.
A valuation allowance of approximately $4,263 remains at October 31, 2011 for deferred tax assets whose realization
remains uncertain at this time. The comparable amount of the valuation allowance at October 31, 2010 was $4,499. The net decrease
in the valuation allowance of $236 relates to a decrease of $115 for flat tax credits associated with foreign jurisdictions, a $111
decrease related to other foreign deferred tax assets and a decrease of $10 related to state and local operating loss carryforwards.
The Company assesses both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation
allowance has been established by the Company due to the uncertainty of realizing certain loss carryforwards and tax credits in
Mexico and loss carryforwards in various state and local jurisdictions in the United States. The Company believes the remaining
deferred tax assets will be realizable based on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences that would generate
ordinary income in the U.S. and available tax planning strategies that would be implemented to recognize the deferred tax assets.
The Company intends to maintain the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets until such time that sufficient positive
evidence exists to support realization of the deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able
to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would
increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able
to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income
in the period such determination was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
At October 31, 2011, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforward benefits of approximately $2,246 with a
valuation allowance to the extent of their net deferred tax assets, which will expire between 2016 and 2020. At October 31, 2010,
the Company had foreign operating loss carryforward benefits of approximately $3,452 with a valuation allowance to the extent
of their net deferred tax assets. The Company has various state and local net operating loss and tax credit carryforward benefits.
As of October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had state and local net operating loss carryforward benefits of $929 and $941

The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $3,202 and $(285) in 2011 and 2010, respectively. U.S. income
taxes and foreign withholding taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it is expected such
earnings will be permanently reinvested in the operations of such subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of income
tax liability that would result had such earnings been repatriated. As of October 31, 2011, there was $760 of undistributed foreign
subsidiary earnings.
Note 13—Related Party Transactions
The Company had sales to MTD Products Inc and its affiliates of $8,308 and $9,517 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010,
respectively. At October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had receivable balances of $434 and $984, respectively, due from MTD

In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, management has made assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Not considering
the asset impairment and restructuring charges recorded in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company refined its estimates and assumptions for several asset and liability accounts. As a
result, the Company recorded net favorable adjustments of $288 and $418, net of tax, in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2011 and
2010. For fiscal 2011 and 2010, these adjustments were normal recurring adjustments of accrued estimates and adjustments related
to sales discounts, inventory valuation, pension and contingencies.
Note 16-Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to several lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of its business with customers, vendors,
employees and other third parties. In the opinion of management, the Company's liability or recovery, if any, under pending
litigation and claims would not materially affect its financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Note 17-Subsequent Events
On December 8, 2011, the Board of Directors recommended and granted the issuance of stock options totaling 56,500
at the closing price of $8.10 to certain officers and other key employees.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. As of
October 31, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management,
including the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of October 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act. The internal control system of the Company was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management
and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting
as of October 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework.” Based on the evaluation of
internal control over financial reporting management has concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting
were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of October 31, 2011.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm
regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the
Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
