 BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
 JBT FoodTech
 
 Overview
 
 JBT FoodTech is a leading supplier of customized industrial food processing solutions and services used in the food processing industry. We design, manufacture and service technologically sophisticated food processing systems for the preparation of ready-to-eat meals, shelf stable packaged foods, meat, seafood and poultry products, bakery products, juice and dairy products, and fruit and vegetable products.
 
 We believe our success is derived from our continued technological innovation. We broadly categorize our technology solutions offerings into freezing and chilling, protein processing, in-container processing and fruit processing. We apply these differentiated and proprietary technologies to meet our customers’ food processing needs. We continually strive to improve our existing solutions and develop new solutions by working closely with our customers.
 
 Our historically strong position in the markets we serve has provided us with a large installed base of systems and equipment. Throughout our history, we have delivered over 40,000 pieces of food processing equipment which includes more than 8,000 industrial freezers, 2,400 industrial citrus juice extractors, 3,000 industrial sterilization systems and 8,000 coating systems. We estimate that the installed base of our equipment collectively processes approximately 75% of the global production of citrus juices, freezes approximately 50% of commercially frozen foods on a global basis and sterilizes approximately 50% of the world’s canned foods. This installed base provides a stream of recurring revenue from aftermarket products, parts, services and lease arrangements. Recurring revenue accounted for approximately 47% of our JBT FoodTech total revenue in 2010. Our installed base also provides us with strong, long-term customer relationships from which we derive information for new product development to meet the evolving needs of our food processing customers.
 
 We have operations positioned around the world to serve our existing JBT FoodTech equipment base located in more than 100 countries. Our principal production facilities are located in the United States (California, Ohio and Florida), Belgium, Brazil, China, Italy, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In addition to sales and services offices based in more than 25 countries, we also support our customers in their development of new food products and processes as well as the refinement and experimentation of their current applications through eight technical centers located in the United States (California, Ohio and Florida), Brazil, Sweden, Belgium, Italy and China. Our global presence allows us to provide direct customized support to customers virtually anywhere they process foods.
 
 Solutions, Products and Services
 
 We offer a broad portfolio of systems, equipment and services to our customers which are often sold as part of a fully integrated processing line solution. Our systems are typically customized to meet the specific customer application needs. Thus, actual production capacity ranges vary and are dependent on the food and product packaging type being processed.
 
 Freezing and Chilling. We developed the first commercial food processing freezers in the 1960s, and we remain the world’s leading supplier of freezing and chilling solutions to the food processing industry. We design, assemble, test and install industry-leading technologies that include individual quick freezing (IQF), self-stacking spiral, linear/impingement and contact freezers and chillers. Our freezers are designed to meet the most stringent demands for quality, economy, hygiene and user-friendliness.

 Government Contracts
 
 We currently supply the Halvorsen cargo loader, aircraft tow tractors and trailer mounted air conditioning units to the U.S. Department of Defense. The amount of equipment built for these programs is dependent upon annual government appropriations and levels of military spending. In addition, United States defense contracts are unilaterally terminable at the option of the United States government with compensation for work completed and costs incurred. Contracts with the United States government are subject to special laws and regulations, the noncompliance with which may result in various sanctions that could materially affect our ongoing government business.
 
 Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters
 
 Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of environmental quality. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, administrative, civil and criminal penalties may be imposed, and we may become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. We may also be subject to civil claims arising out of an accident or other event causing environmental pollution. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for our own acts even though these actions were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed.
 
 Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, referred to as CERCLA, and related state laws and regulations, joint and several liability can be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner and operator of a contaminated site where a hazardous substance release occurred and any company that transported, disposed of or arranged for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, and including hazardous substances generated by any closed operations or facilities. In addition, neighboring landowners or other third parties may file claims for personal injury, property damage and recovery of response cost. We may also be subject to the corrective action provisions of the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and analogous state laws that require owners and operators of facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste to clean up releases of hazardous waste constituents into the environment associated with their operations.
 
 Some of our facilities and operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to worker health and workplace safety, including the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA. We believe that appropriate precautions are taken to protect our employees and others from harmful exposure to potentially hazardous materials handled and managed at our facilities, and that we operate in substantial compliance with all OSHA or similar regulations.

 ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
 You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be materially adversely affected.
 
 Risk Factors Relating to Our Business
 
 Our financial results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could result in our failing to achieve anticipated financial results.
 
 Our quarterly and annual financial results have varied in the past and are likely to continue to vary in the future due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In particular, the capital goods industries in which we compete can have significant variations in the number, contractual terms and size of orders. The timing of our receipt of orders and our shipment of the products or provision of services can significantly impact the sales and income of a period. These and any one or more of the factors listed below, among other things, could cause us not to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations. The resulting failure to meet market expectations could cause a drop in our stock price. These factors include the risks discussed elsewhere in this section and the following:
 
 •
Changes in demand for our products and services, including changes in growth rates in the food processing and air transportation industries;•
Downturns in our customers’ businesses resulting from deteriorating  domestic and international economies where our customers do substantial business;•
Changes in commodity prices resulting in increased manufacturing costs, such as petroleum-based products, metals or other raw materials we use in significant quantities;  14
  •
Changes in pricing policies resulting from competitive pressures, such as aggressive price discounting by our competitors and other market factors;•
Our ability to develop and introduce on a timely basis new or enhanced versions of our products and services;•
Unexpected needs for capital expenditures or other unanticipated expenses;•
Changes in the mix of revenue attributable to domestic and international sales;•
Changes in the mix of products and services that we sell;•
Seasonal fluctuations in buying patterns; and•
Future acquisitions and divestitures of technologies, products and businesses.
 
 Unanticipated delays or acceleration in our sales cycles make accurate estimation of our revenue difficult and could result in significant fluctuation in quarterly operating results.
 
 The length of our sales cycle varies depending on a number of factors over which we may have little or no control, including the size and complexity of a potential transaction, the level of competition that we encounter in our selling activities and our current and potential customers’ internal budgeting and approval process. As a result of a generally long sales cycle, we may expend significant effort over a long period of time in an attempt to obtain an order, but ultimately not obtain the order, or the order ultimately received may be smaller than anticipated. Our revenue from different customers varies from quarter to quarter, and a customer with a large order in one quarter may generate significantly lower revenue in subsequent quarters. Due to resulting fluctuations, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results may not be meaningful, and that these comparisons may not be an accurate indicator of our future performance.
 
 Deterioration of economic conditions could negatively impact our business.
 
 Our business may be adversely affected by changes in current or future national or global economic conditions, including interest rates, availability of capital, consumer spending rates, foreign currency exchange rates, energy availability and costs and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Any such changes could adversely affect the demand for our products or the cost and availability of our required raw materials, thereby negatively affecting our financial results. Until economic conditions return to levels experienced prior to the recent disruptions in credit and other financial markets,  national and global economic conditions could, among other things:
 
 ·
make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain increased financing for our operations or investments or to refinance our debt in the future;
  ·
render our lenders or other financial instrument counterparties unable to honor their commitments or otherwise default under a financing agreement;
  ·
impair the financial condition of some of our customers, thereby hindering our customers’ ability to obtain financing to purchase our products and/or increasing customer bad debts;
  ·
impair the financial condition of some of our suppliers thereby potentially increasing both the likelihood of having to renegotiate supply terms and the risk of non-performance by suppliers;
  ·
negatively impact global demand for air transportation services as well as protein food products and processed food products, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income and cash flows in our JBT AeroTech and JBT FoodTech segments, respectively;
  ·
negatively affect our currency hedges; or
  ·
impair the financial viability of our insurers.
 A downturn or slow recovery from the recent global economic crisis in certain of the major markets we serve could materially adversely affect results.
 
 The recent global economic crisis has caused downturns in many industrial and/or regional markets, including the food processing and air transportation markets. Although we have been experiencing a slow recovery from the economic crisis, there can be no assurance as to when economic conditions will recover fully. A further or unexpectedly sustained downturn, or a slow recovery from the recent downturn, in one or more of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
  15
  Our customers may not be able to meet their financial obligations to us or we may experience less business as a result of the recent global economic environment, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 Some of our existing and prospective worldwide customers continue to suffer from the recent problems affecting the global economy. As a result, we may sell less new equipment and fewer parts and services to these customers and certain of these customers could pose credit risks to us. Our inability to collect receivables from one or more important customers could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
 Some of our business segments are cyclical or are otherwise sensitive to volatile or variable factors. A downturn or weakness in overall economic activity or fluctuations in those other factors may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 Historically, sales of products that we manufacture and sell have been subject to cyclical variations caused by changes in general economic conditions and other factors. The strength of the economy generally may affect the rates of expansion, consolidation, renovation and equipment replacement within the air transportation industry and within the food processing industry, which may affect the performance of our JBT AeroTech and JBT FoodTech segments, respectively.
 
 Similarly, our sales depend in part upon our customers’ replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions may cause customers to forgo or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing equipment and machinery, and delay or reduce preventative maintenance, thereby reducing our revenue and/or profits.
 
 The air transportation industry is particularly sensitive to changes in economic condition; negative economic conditions likely may have a negative impact on our JBT AeroTech segment and our results of operations.
 
 The air transportation industry in general is particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a constrained credit market, reduced consumer confidence, higher unemployment rates and increased business operating costs, particularly fuel costs, can reduce spending for both passenger travel and decrease demand for cargo air carrier services. Unfavorable economic conditions can also impact our customers’ ability to raise pricing to counteract increased fuel, labor, and other costs, making it less likely that they will expend resources on JBT AeroTech equipment as they have in the past.
 
 Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the foreign countries in which we conduct business or fluctuations in currency exchange rates could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 We operate manufacturing facilities in nine countries other than the United States, and our international sales accounted for a significant portion of our 2010 revenue. Multiple factors relating to our international operations and to particular countries in which we operate or seek to expand our operations could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. These factors include:
  •
nationalization and expropriation;•
potentially burdensome taxation;•
increased growth in our international business operations and revenue relative to our domestic operations may result in increasing tax liabilities resulting from repatriation of income generated outside of the United States;•
continuing economic downturns, inflationary and recessionary markets, including capital and equity markets;•
civil unrest, political instability, terrorist attacks and wars;•
seizure of assets;•
trade restrictions, trade protection measures or price controls;•
foreign ownership restrictions;•
import or export licensing requirements;•
restrictions on operations, trade practices, trade partners and investment decisions resulting from domestic and foreign laws and regulations;•
changes in governmental laws and regulations;•
inability to repatriate income or capital; and•
reductions in the availability of qualified personnel.
 
 Because a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in foreign currencies, changes in exchange rates will result in increases or decreases in our costs and earnings and may also affect the book value of our assets located outside the United States and the amount of our stockholders’ equity. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in U.S. dollars, but these results may fluctuate due to the fact that a significant portion of our earnings and expenditures are denominated in other currencies. Although we may seek to minimize our currency exposure by engaging in hedging transactions where we deem it appropriate, we cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful. To the extent we sell our systems and services in foreign markets, currency fluctuations may result in our systems and services becoming too expensive for foreign customers.
  16
 
 Our inability to obtain raw materials, component parts, and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.
 We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers for use in manufacturing our products. We also purchase certain finished goods from suppliers. Changes in our relationships with suppliers or increases in our costs for raw materials, component parts or finished goods we purchase could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies or our inability to market products. In addition, our profit margins could decrease if prices of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on those increases to customers.
 
 The increase in energy or raw material prices may reduce the profitability of our customers, which ultimately could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 In recent years, energy prices have hit historically high levels. These increases had a negative trickledown effect on many areas involved in running a business, straining profitability through increased operating costs. Our customers require large amounts of energy to run their businesses, particularly in the air transportation industry. Energy prices can affect the profitability of passenger and cargo air carriers through increased jet and ground support equipment fuel prices. Energy prices also affect food processors through increased energy and utility costs to run the plant, chemical and petroleum based raw materials used in production and fuel costs to run logistics and service fleet vehicles.
 
 Food processors are also dependent upon the cost and supply of raw materials such as feed grains, livestock, produce and dairy products. Recent rises in the cost and limitations in availability of these commodities can negatively affect the profitability of their operations.
 
 A reduction in profitability due to increased energy or raw material prices within our customer base may reduce their future investments in food processing equipment or airport equipment. This reduction in investment may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Changes in food consumption patterns due to diet trends or economic conditions may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Dietary trends can create demand for protein food products but negatively impact high-carbohydrate foods, or create demand for easy to prepare, transportable meals but negatively impact traditional canned products. Because various food types and packaging can quickly go in and out of style as a function of health, dietary or convenience trends, food processors can be challenged in forecasting the needed capacity and related equipment and services for their food plants. During periods of economic uncertainty, consumer demand for protein products or processed food products may also be negatively impacted by increases in food prices. Shifting consumer demand for protein products or processed foods may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 An outbreak of animal borne diseases (H5N1, BSE or other virus strains affecting poultry or livestock) may negatively affect protein processors.
 
 An outbreak or pandemic stemming from H5N1 (avian flu) or BSE (mad cow disease) or any other animal related disease strains could reduce the availability of poultry or beef that is processed for the restaurant, food service, wholesale or retail consumer. Should a pandemic break out, eradication of entire regional animal populations could be mandated.
 
 Any limitation on raw material could discourage producers from making additional capital investments in processing equipment, aftermarket products, parts and services. Such a decrease in demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 An outbreak of food borne illness or other food safety or quality concerns may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Should an E. coli or other food borne illness cause a recall of meat or produce, the companies supplying those fresh, further processed or canned forms of these products could be severely financially affected. This type of recall, whether voluntary or mandatory, could have broad ranging and long lasting negative effects on growers, packers, retailers, wholesalers and/or restaurants. If a consumer were to become critically ill due to the outbreak, the food provider’s reputation and brand could be permanently tarnished. Any affect on the financial viability of our customer base of fresh or processed food providers could seriously affect and reduce our immediate and recurring revenue base.
  17
 
 Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected if consumers were to lose confidence in the safety or quality of certain food products or ingredients. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, whether or not valid, may discourage consumers from buying processed food products or cause production and delivery disruptions. Any disruption within the food supply chain could have a negative effect on the demand for our food processing machinery and on our financial results.
 
 Freezes, hurricanes, droughts or other natural disasters may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Should a natural disaster negatively affect the production of growers or farms, the food processing industry may not have the fresh foods necessary to meet consumer demand. The crops of entire groves or fields can be severely impacted by a drought, freeze or hurricane. Should a drought or freeze continue for an extended duration or high category hurricane directly impact a tree crop area, the trees themselves could be permanently damaged. If orchards had to be replanted, the trees may not produce viable product for several years. Since our revenue generation is dependent on a farmer’s ability to provide high quality crops to some of our customers, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.
 
 Citrus tree diseases may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 The success of our citrus business is directly related to the viability and health of citrus crops. The citrus industries in Florida, Brazil and other countries are facing increased pressure on their harvests and citrus bearing acreage due to citrus canker and greening diseases. These citrus tree diseases are often incurable once a tree has been infested and the end result can be the destruction of the tree.
 
 We realize operating lease revenue based partially upon capacity or throughput that a citrus processor or produce packinghouse produces. Reduced amounts of available fruit for the processed or fresh markets could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Our failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing our U.S. government contracts or the loss of production funding of any of our U.S. government contracts could harm our business.
 
 The federal government is the largest contractor in the United States. Our JBT AeroTech business enters into contracts with the U.S. government, including a long-term contract relating to the sale and logistics support of our Halvorsen Loader, which is a military air cargo loader, to the U.S. Air Force. As a result we are subject to various laws and regulations that apply to companies doing business with the U.S. government. The laws governing U.S. government contracts differ in several respects from the laws governing private contracts. They are heavily regulated to curb misappropriation of funds and ensure uniform policies and practices across agencies. Their ongoing funding is tied to National Defense Budgets and Procurement Programs that are annually negotiated and approved or disapproved by the U.S. Department of Defense, Executive Branch and the Congress. For example, if there were any shifts in spending priorities or if funding for the U.S. Air Force cargo loader program were reduced or cancelled, the resulting loss of revenue may have a material adverse impact on our JBT AeroTech business. Many U.S. government contracts contain pricing terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. Moreover, U.S. defense contracts, in particular, are unilaterally terminable at the option of the U.S. government with compensation for work completed and costs incurred.
 
 Contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to special laws and regulations, the noncompliance with which may result in various sanctions. If, for any reason, we were now or at any time in the future found to be non-compliant to any laws or regulations governing U.S. government contracts, our earnings could be negatively impacted. In addition, any delays of deliverables due to our non-performance would also have a negative impact on these contracts.
 
 Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity in response to such attacks or acts of war may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity in response to such attacks or acts of war may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States or its allies, or military or trade disruptions affecting our customers or the economy as a whole may materially adversely affect our operations or those of our customers. As a result, there could be delays or losses in transportation and deliveries to our customers, decreased sales of our products and extension of time for payment of accounts receivable from our customers. Strategic targets such as those relating to transportation and food processing may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in the United States. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  18
 
 Due to the type of contracts we enter into, the cumulative loss of several major contracts may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 We often enter into large, project-oriented contracts or long-term equipment leases and service agreements. These agreements may be terminated or breached, or our customers may fail to renew these agreements. If we were to lose several key agreements over a relatively short period of time and if we were to fail to develop alternative business opportunities, we could experience a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
 
 As is customary for several of the business areas in which we operate, we agree, in some cases, to provide products and services under fixed-price contracts. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for cost overruns. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. There is inherent risk in the estimation process, including significant unforeseen technical and logistical challenges or longer than expected lead times. A fixed-price contract may prohibit our ability to mitigate the impact of unanticipated increases in raw material prices (including the price of steel) through increased pricing. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  We operate in highly competitive industries, and competitive pressures may adversely affect us.
  Our businesses compete in highly competitive markets where differentiation is based on product features and design, brand recognition, reliability, durability, technology, energy efficiency, breadth of product offerings, price, customer relationships, delivery lead times, serviceability and aftermarket parts and services.  We have a number of domestic and international competitors in most of the product lines we offer. Many of our competitors are focused on particular product lines or geographical regions or emphasize their local manufacturing presence or local market knowledge. Some of our competitors have different pricing structures and may be able to deliver their products at lower prices. Although we believe that the performance and price characteristics of our products will provide competitive solutions for our customers' needs, there can be no assurance that our customers will continue to choose our products over products offered by competitors.These competitive pressures could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
 Customer sourcing initiatives may negatively affect new equipment and aftermarket businesses.
 
 Integration of the supply chain to provide a sustainable competitive advantage has become an objective for many multi-national companies. With continued price pressure from consumers, wholesalers and retailers, manufacturers are focusing their efforts on ways to reduce costs, improve sourcing processes and enhance profitability.
 
 Although these inherently are good practices, it can depersonalize the sales process and result in a shift in focus to short term cost savings as opposed to fully understanding all of the cost components that are associated with capital goods and aftermarket products, parts and services purchases over the lifetime of the investment. If customers implement sourcing initiatives focused solely on immediate cost savings and not on total cost of ownership, our new equipment and aftermarket sales could be negatively affected.
 
 The solutions we sell are very complex, and we need to rapidly and successfully develop and introduce new solutions in a global, competitive, demanding and changing environment.
 
 To succeed in the globally competitive food processing and air transportation industries, we must continually develop our product and service offerings. This requires a high level of innovation. In addition, bringing new solutions to the market entails a costly and lengthy process and requires us to accurately anticipate customer needs and technology trends. We must continue to respond to demands and develop leading technologies in the food processing and air transportation industries, or our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
 
 There can be no assurance that our innovations will be profitable, and if we cannot successfully market and sell both existing and newly developed solutions, our business and operating results could be impacted. Significant investments in unsuccessful research and development efforts could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we were to lose our significant technology advantage, our market share and growth could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to deliver products, features and functionality as projected, we may be unable to meet our commitments to customers, which could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation and business.
  19
 
 Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by competing technology. Some of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have greater financial resources than us, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services and technologies than we are able to do. Moreover, some of our competitors operate in narrow business areas, allowing them to concentrate their research and development efforts directly on products and services for those areas.
 
 When we develop new products with higher capacity and more advanced technology, the increased difficulty and complexity associated with producing these products increases the likelihood of reliability, quality or operability problems.
 
 Despite rigorous testing prior to their release and superior quality processes, newly developed or enhanced products and solutions may have some start up issues which may be found after the products are introduced and shipped. This risk is enhanced when products are first introduced, as well as when we develop products with more advanced technology, since the increased difficulty and complexity associated with producing these products increases the likelihood of reliability, quality or operability problems. The correction and detection of issues may cause delays, lost revenue and incremental costs. While we attempt to remedy errors that we believe would be considered critical by our customers prior to shipment, we may not be able to detect or remedy all such errors.
 
 Our customers who rely on our solutions for business-critical applications are more sensitive to product errors, which could expose us to product liability, performance and warranty claims, as well as harm to our reputation. These and other risks associated with new product and service offerings may have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Product introductions and certain enhancements of existing products by us in future periods may also reduce demand for our existing products or could delay purchases by customers awaiting arrival of our new products. As new or enhanced products are introduced, we must successfully manage the transition from older products.
 
 In the ordinary course of business, we continually evaluate opportunities for new product and service offerings, new markets and new geographic sectors, and development of such opportunities could entail certain business risks which could affect our financial condition.
 
 If we are unable to develop, preserve and protect our intellectual property assets, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected.
 
 As a technology company, our intellectual property portfolio is crucial to our continuing ability to be a leading solutions and services provider to the food processing and air transportation industries. We strive to protect and enhance our proprietary intellectual property rights through patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as through technological safeguards and operating policies. To the extent we are not successful, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using our technology without our authorization or independently developing technology that is similar to ours, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. With respect to our pending patent applications, we may not be successful in securing patents for these claims, and our competitors may already have applied for patents that, once issued, will prevail over our patent rights or otherwise limit our ability to sell our products.
 
 While we take steps to provide for confidentiality obligations of employees and third parties with whom we do business (including customers, suppliers and strategic partners), there is a risk that such parties will breach such obligations and jeopardize our intellectual property rights. Although we have agreements in place to mitigate this risk in many cases, there can be no assurance that such protections will be sufficient.
 
 We are actively engaged in efforts to protect the value of our intellectual property and to prevent others from infringing our intellectual property rights. However, due to the complex and technical nature of such efforts and the potentially high stakes involved, such enforcement activity can be expensive and time consuming, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
 
 Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 We have seen a trend towards aggressive enforcement of intellectual property rights as the functionality of products in our industry increasingly overlaps and the volume of issued patents continues to grow. As a result, there is a risk that we could be subject to infringement claims which, regardless of their validity, could:
  20
 
 •
Be expensive, time consuming and divert management attention away from normal business operations;•
Require us to pay monetary damages or enter into non-standard royalty and licensing agreements;•
Require us to modify our product sales and development plans; or•
Require us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.
 
 Regardless of whether these claims have any merit, they can be burdensome to defend or settle and can harm our business and reputation.
 
 Our information systems, computer equipment and information databases are critical to our business operations, and any damage or disruptions could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer equipment and the information stored in our databases from damage by, among other things, earthquake, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusions and other catastrophic events. A part of our operations is based in an area of California that has experienced power outages and earthquakes, while another part of our operations is based in an area of Florida that has experienced power outages and hurricanes. Despite our best efforts at planning for such contingencies, catastrophic events of this nature may still result in system failures and other interruptions in our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 In addition, it is periodically necessary to replace, upgrade or modify our internal information systems. If we are unable to do this in a timely and cost-effective manner, especially in light of demands on our information technology resources, our ability to capture and process financial transactions and therefore our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted.
 
 Inadequate internal controls and accounting practices could lead to errors, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 We have internal controls and management oversight systems in place, however, we may not be able to prevent or detect misstatements in our reported financial statements due to system errors, the potential for human error and unauthorized actions of employees or contractors, inadequacy of controls, temporary lapses in controls due to shortfalls in transition planning and oversight of resource contracts and other factors. In addition, due to their inherent limitations, such controls may not prevent or detect misstatements in our reported financial results as required under SEC and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules, which could increase our operating costs or impair our ability to operate our business. Controls may also become inadequate due to changes in circumstances, and as it is necessary to replace, upgrade or modify our internal information systems from time to time. If we are unable to implement these changes in a timely and cost-effective manner, our ability to capture and process financial transactions and support our customers as required may be materially adversely impacted and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 We may supplement our internal growth through strategic combinations, and our success depends on our ability to successfully integrate, operate and manage these acquired businesses and assets.
 
 We may supplement our internal growth through strategic combinations, asset purchases and other transactions that complement or expand our existing businesses. Each of these transactions involves a number of risks, including:
 
 •
The diversion of our management’s attention from our existing businesses to integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired or combined business;•
Possible material adverse effects on business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the integration process; and•
Our possible inability to achieve the intended objectives of the transaction.
 
 We may hire additional employees in connection with these acquisitions. We may not be able to successfully integrate all of the newly hired employees, or profitably integrate, operate, maintain and manage our newly acquired operations in a competitive environment. We may not be able to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and this may lead to operational inefficiencies.
 
 We may seek to finance an acquisition through borrowings or through the issuance of new debt or equity securities. If we make a relatively large acquisition, we could deplete a substantial portion of our financial resources to the possible detriment of our other operations. Any future acquisitions could also dilute the equity interests of our stockholders, require us to write off assets for accounting purposes or create other undesirable accounting results, such as significant expenses for amortization or impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.
 21
 
 Loss of our key management and other personnel could impact our business.
 
 We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel. The loss of any of these officers or key personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, competition for skilled and non-skilled employees among companies that rely heavily on engineering, technology and manufacturing is intense, and the loss of skilled or non-skilled employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional skilled and non-skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully, develop new products and services and meet our customers’ requirements.
 
 The industries in which we operate expose us to potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our systems that could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Our businesses supply equipment and systems for use in food processing as well as equipment, systems and services used in airports all over the world, which creates potential exposure for us to liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, commercial claims, property damage, pollution and other environmental damages. Although we have obtained business and related risk insurance, we cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover all potential liabilities. Further, we cannot assure you that insurance will generally be available in the future or, if available, that premiums to obtain such insurance will be commercially justifiable. If we incur substantial liability and the damages are not covered by insurance or are in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
 
 Environmental protection initiatives may negatively impact the profitability of our business.
 
 Global initiatives to protect and steward the environment have moved to center stage. From global warming and climate change to urban sprawl and resource depletion, corporations and consumers are becoming more aware and concerned about the impact of human activity on the environment. Comprehensive global and national greenhouse gas reduction programs have been proposed and are being discussed within legislatures, boardrooms and households. The ultimate costs, implementation and success of such broad reaching programs will be dependent on the precise emissions targets, the timing for the reductions and the means of implementation.
 
 Pressures to reduce the footprint of carbon emissions impact the air transportation and manufacturing sectors. Airports, airlines and air cargo providers are continually looking for new ways to become more energy efficient and reduce pollutants. Manufacturing plants are seeking means to reduce their heat-trapping emissions and minimize their energy and water usage. All of the initiatives come at a cost both to our customers’ operations as well as to our operating costs and therefore may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Our operations and industries are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws, which laws can change. We therefore face uncertainties with regard to lawsuits, regulations and other related matters.
 
 In the normal course of business, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including those that relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, export compliance, intellectual property, product liability, tax matters and regulatory compliance. For example, we are subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require us to hire local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular non-U.S. jurisdiction. In addition, environmental laws and regulations affect the systems and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our systems. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future.
 
 There is an increased focus by the SEC and Department of Justice on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). Given the breadth and scope of our international operations, we may not be able to detect or prevent improper or unlawful conduct by our international partners and employees, despite our ethics, governance and compliance standards, which could put us at risk regarding possible violations of laws, including the FCPA.
 
 Considerable management time and resources may be spent to understand and comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, public disclosure (including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), SEC regulations and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange where our shares are listed. Although we do not believe that any recent regulatory and legal initiatives will result in significant changes to our internal practices or our operations, rapid changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and federal securities laws and regulations, among others, may substantially increase costs to our organization and could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  22
 
 Unfavorable tax law changes and tax authority rulings may adversely affect results.
 
 We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets or tax laws. The amount of income taxes and other taxes are subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts we record, future financial results may include unfavorable tax adjustments.
 
 The market price of our Common Stock may be subject to significant volatility.
 
 The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile because of a number of factors, including the following:
 
 •
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 •
changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
 •
transactions related to complimentary technology, technology rights, product lines or businesses;
 •
announcements by us or our competitors of new products or significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 •
changes in interest rates;
 •
additions or departures of key personnel; and
 •
future sales or issuances of our Common Stock.
 
 Our existing financing agreements include restrictive and financial covenants.
  Certain of our loan agreements require us to comply with various restrictive covenants and some contain financial covenants that require us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Our failure to meet these covenants could result in default under these loan agreements and would result in a cross-default under other loan agreements. In the event of a default and our inability to obtain a waiver of the default, all amounts outstanding under loan agreements could be declared immediately due and payable. Our failure to comply with these covenants could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  Significant changes in actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates, and other factors could affect our results of operations, equity, and pension contributions in future periods.
 
 Our results of operations may be positively or negatively affected by the amount of income or expense we record for our defined benefit pension plans. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that we calculate income or expense for the plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions about financial market and other economic conditions, which may change based on changes in key economic indicators. The most significant year-end assumptions we use to estimate pension income or expense are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plans assets. In addition, we are required to make an annual measurement of plan assets and liabilities, which may result in a significant change to equity through a reduction or increase to accumulated gains (losses) – net, benefit plans. At the end of 2010, the projected benefit obligation of our pension plans was $275.2 million and assets were $207.5 million. For a discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension plan accounting policies, see Critical Accounting Estimates – Pension Assumptions in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K Report. Although GAAP expense and pension funding contributions are not directly related, key economic factors that affect GAAP expense would also likely affect the amount of cash we would contribute to pension plans as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
 
 We could be liable to FMC Technologies for adverse tax consequences resulting from certain change-in-control transactions and therefore could be prevented from engaging in strategic or capital raising transactions.
 
 FMC Technologies could recognize a taxable gain if the spin-off is determined to be part of a plan or series of related transactions pursuant to which one or more persons acquire, directly or indirectly, stock representing a 50% or greater interest in either FMC Technologies or JBT Corporation. Under the Code, any acquisitions of FMC Technologies or JBT Corporation within the four-year period beginning two years before the date of the spin-off are presumed to be part of such a plan. Regulations issued by the IRS, however, provide mitigating rules in many circumstances. Nonetheless, a merger, recapitalization or acquisition, or issuance or redemption of our common stock could, in some circumstances, be counted toward the 50% change of ownership threshold. The tax sharing agreement between FMC Technologies and us precludes us from engaging in some of these transactions unless we first obtain a tax opinion acceptable to FMC Technologies or an IRS ruling to the effect that such transactions will not result in additional taxes. The tax sharing agreement further requires us to indemnify FMC Technologies for any resulting taxes owed by FMC Technologies regardless of whether we first obtain such opinion or ruling. As a result, we may be unable to engage in strategic or capital raising transactions that stockholders might consider favorable or to structure potential transactions in the manner most favorable to us.
  23
 
 Our corporate governance documents, our rights plan and Delaware law may delay or discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider in their best interests.
 
 Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws may make it difficult and expensive for a third-party to pursue a tender offer, change-in-control or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management and Board of Directors. These provisions include, among others:
 
 •
A Board that is divided into three classes with staggered terms;•
Limitations on the right of stockholders to remove directors;•
The right of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;•
Inability of our stockholders to act by written consent; and•
Rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors at stockholders meetings.
 
 Public stockholders who might desire to participate in this type of transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change-in-control or a change in our management or Board and, as a result, may adversely affect the marketability and market price of our common stock.
 
 In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan intended to deter hostile or coercive attempts to acquire us. Under the plan, if any person or group acquires, or begins a tender or exchange offer that could result in such person acquiring 15% or more of our common stock, without approval of our Board under specified circumstances, our other stockholders will have the right to purchase shares of our common stock, or shares of the acquiring company, at a substantial discount to the public market price. Therefore, the rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our Board, except pursuant to any offer conditioned on a substantial number of rights being acquired.
 
 We are also subject to the provisions of Delaware law described below regarding business combinations with interested stockholders. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law applies to a broad range of business combinations between a Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder. The Delaware law definition of “business combination” includes mergers, sales of assets, issuances of voting stock and certain other transactions. An “interested stockholder” is defined as any person who owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation.
 
 Section 203 prohibits a corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
 
 •
The Board approved the business combination before the stockholder became an interested stockholder, or the Board approved the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;•
Upon completion of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, such stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock outstanding when the transaction began other than shares held by directors who are also officers and other than shares held by certain employee stock plans; or•
The Board approved the business combination after the stockholder became an interested stockholder and the business combination was approved at a meeting by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by such stockholder.
 
 Although we believe these provisions protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics and thereby provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our Board of Directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
 Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement we entered into with FMC Technologies, as of the time of our separation from FMC Technologies, we have assumed liabilities related to specified legal proceedings arising from our business prior to separation. Although FMC Technologies may remain the named defendant in certain of these proceedings, we will manage the litigation and are required to indemnify FMC Technologies for costs, expenses and judgments arising from this existing litigation. We do not believe that any existing litigation we have assumed will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
 We are involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Executive Overview
 
 We are a global technology solutions provider for the food processing and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture, test and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers through our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. We have established a large installed base of food processing equipment as well as airport equipment and have built a strong global presence with manufacturing, sourcing, sales and service organizations located on six continents to support equipment that has been delivered to more than 100 countries.
 
 We have developed close working relationships with our customers, which we believe enhances our competitive advantage, strengthens our market position and improves our results. We serve customers from around the world. During 2010, a significant portion of our total sales were to locations outside of the United States. We evaluate international markets and pursue opportunities that fit our technological capabilities and strategies.
 
 The food processing and air transportation industries in which we operate are susceptible to significant changes in the strength of the global or regional economies. This impacts the economic health of companies who make capital commitments for our products and services. We focus on economic and industry-specific drivers and key risk factors affecting each of our businesses as we formulate our strategic plans and make decisions related to allocating capital and human resources. These factors include risks associated with the global economic outlook, product obsolescence, and the competitive environment.
 
 As we evaluate our operating results, we consider performance indicators like segment revenue and operating profit in addition to the level of inbound orders and order backlog.
 
 Separation from FMC Technologies
 
 Prior to July 31, 2008, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMC Technologies. On July 31, 2008, FMC Technologies was separated into two independent publicly-traded companies through the distribution of 100% of its ownership of JBT Corporation, containing the FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses, to its shareholders (the “Separation”).
 
 Our capital structure and financial condition significantly changed at the date of the Separation. The financial statements prior to the Separation do not reflect the debt or interest expense JBT Corporation might have incurred if we were a stand-alone company.

 2010 Compared With 2009
 
 Total revenue increased by $38.8 million (approximately 5%) in 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of higher product sales. JBT AeroTech’s revenue increased by $30.5 million as a result of higher demand for our ground support equipment and gate equipment products. JBT FoodTech’s revenue in constant currency remained relatively unchanged as higher sales of freezing and chilling products and protein processing products were offset by lower sales of fruit processing products and in-container processing products. Favorable impact of foreign currency translation resulted in $5.8 million of higher revenue.
 
 Gross profit increased by $10.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009. Higher sales volume and a slight improvement in gross profit margins resulted in an increase in gross profit of $8.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Savings in retirement benefit costs due to the freeze of the U.S. pension plan at the end of 2009 were partially offset by higher healthcare costs. Favorable impact of foreign currency translation resulted in higher gross profit of $1.1 million.
 
 Operating income increased by $9.4 million in 2010 compared to 2009 while operating income margins improved from 6.9% to 7.6%. The increase in operating income was driven by higher gross profit. Additionally, we were able to better leverage selling, general and administrative expenses as these expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue from 17.6% to 16.8%. Research and development expenses remained relatively unchanged as a percentage of revenue. Gains on investments in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which are reported in other (income) expense, net, were $0.6 million lower in 2010 compared to 2009.
 
 Net interest expense was $1.0 million lower in 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease in net interest expense was a result of a lower overall interest rate on our variable rate debt due to maturity of a $25 million interest rate swap on January 30, 2010. The interest rate swap previously fixed the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility at 4.9%.
 
 Income tax expense for 2010 reflects an effective income tax rate of 36.1%compared to 32.9% for 2009. The difference in the rate is attributable to higher earnings in higher tax jurisdictions relative to the prior year and the absence of a comparable reversal of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets recorded in 2009.
 
 2009 Compared With 2008
 
 Our total revenue decreased by $186.5 million (approximately 18%) in 2009 compared to 2008. Both of our segments were affected by the challenging industry and economic conditions that began in 2008. JBT AeroTech revenue decreased by $126.2 million, primarily due to a decline in sales volume of our ground support equipment. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $18.2 million, JBT FoodTech revenue decreased by $50.0 million, primarily due to a decline in sales volume of our freezing and chilling products and protein processing products in Europe and Latin America. Additionally, gains on foreign currency transactions primarily related to derivative instruments resulted in $8.0 million of higher revenue.
  29
 
 Gross profit decreased by $31.4 million in 2009 compared to 2008. The decrease in gross profit was driven by lower sales volume and unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, resulting in lower gross profit of $39.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively. However, the decrease in gross profit was partially offset by improved gross profit margins due to a higher proportion of revenue from aftermarket parts and services along with product margin improvement in some of JBT AeroTech’s products. This resulted in $18.8 million of incremental gross profit, despite $3.9 million of charges incurred in 2009 related to our cost reduction programs.
 
 Operating income decreased by $12.6 million in 2009 compared to 2008 while operating income margins improved slightly from 6.8% to 6.9%. The decrease in operating income was driven by lower gross profit. However, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses partially offset the decrease by $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Selling costs decreased as a result of lower sales volume while the other costs decreased due to a reduction in staffing levels in our operations and lower spending as a result of cost reduction programs. Additionally, other (income) expense, net had a favorable impact of $8.8 million as we recognized a gain of $1.7 million on investments in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan in 2009 compared to a loss of $3.2 million in 2008, and a gain of $0.5 million on foreign currency transactions compared to a loss of $3.3 million mostly allocated to us from our former parent in 2008.
 
 Net interest expense was $5.0 million higher in 2009 compared to 2008. The expense in 2009 reflects the full year interest expense on the senior unsecured notes we issued and the credit facility we entered into in July 2008 in connection with the Separation, while the expense in 2008 reflects interest expense on the same debt for only the period after the Separation, as we did not have significant amounts of debt outstanding prior to the Separation.
 
 Income tax expense for 2009 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 32.9%, compared to an effective rate of 33.7% for 2008.The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by a reversal of a $1.1 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to one of our foreign operations.
 
 Changes in Retirement Benefits
 
 In September 2009, we amended the retirement benefits offered to our employees in an attempt to reduce the future financial risk of our defined benefit pension plans and provide a competitive and sustainable retirement program that allows us to successfully attract and retain a skilled workforce. Effective January 1, 2010, we discontinued future benefit accruals for active non-union participants in our domestic defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2009 and froze future participation in our domestic defined benefit pension plans by non-union employees. Additionally, effective January 1, 2010, we enhanced our defined contribution savings plans by adding a 3% company non-elective contribution with immediate vesting to all eligible non-union employees in addition to the current company match (of up to 5%) that vests over time.
 
 As a result of the amendments to our domestic defined benefit pension plans, in 2009 we recognized a curtailment gain of $0.8 million to recognize all previously unrecognized prior service benefits. Additionally, as a result of discontinuing future benefit accruals for active non-union employees, our projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2009 was reduced by $25.6 million.
 
 In October 2010, we announced to participants in the John Bean Technologies Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the “Savings Plan”) that the JBT Corporation stock fund would be removed from the list of investment options available to participants in the Savings Plan, effective as of January 1, 2011. This measure is being instituted in order to promote greater diversity of participants’ retirement savings among a variety of Savings Plan investments. All amounts invested by Savings Plan participants in our common stock held under the Savings Plan will be transferred to other Savings Plan investments by December 31, 2011, either by voluntary participant-directed transfers or by automatic quarterly transfers to be effected by us in 2011 to the extent participants continue to hold JBT Corporation common stock under the Savings Plan. As of December 31, 2010, 444,771 shares of our common stock were issued to participants under the Savings Plan.
 
 Outlook
 
 We expect continued improvement in market conditions for most of our product lines, with improvements varying significantly by region. Our backlog at December 31, 2010 is significantly higher than it was at December 31, 2009, which provides some visibility into 2011.  However, we remain concerned over continued high levels of global economic and political uncertainty as well as the impact of higher fuel and other commodity costs in 2011.  Our full year effective tax rate for 2011 is expected to be approximately 34% to 36%.

  Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign currency related gains and losses, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the method we use to measure segment operating profit by excluding restructuring costs. As a result, all prior year measurements of segment operating profit have been restated for comparative purposes. Restructuring costs included in other expense, net were:

 JBT FoodTech
 
 2010 Compared With 2009
 
 JBT FoodTech’s revenue of $520.8 million represented an increase of $5.0 million in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by a favorable impact of foreign currency translation, resulting in $6.6 million of higher revenue. Despite smaller order sizes relative to prior year, sales of freezing and chilling products and protein processing products in all geographic regions increased by $34.6 million. However, this increase was offset by an unfavorable year-over-year comparison of sales of large orders of fruit processing products and in-container processing products. During 2009, we sold $38.5 million of large orders of fruit processing products and in-container processing products received in 2008 and early part of 2009.
 
 JBT FoodTech’s operating profit of $55.8 million represented an increase of $3.4 million in 2010 compared to 2009. Operating profit margins increased from 10.2% to 10.7%. The increase in operating profit was driven primarily by an improvement in gross profit margins, which resulted in $7.3 million of higher profit. Gross profit margins improved due to higher proportion of higher margin smaller sized projects and aftermarket sales as well as lower expenses related to retirement benefits and non-recurring costs. A slight decrease in sales volume resulted in $0.5 million of lower profit. Additionally, higher selling, general and administrative, and research and development costs resulted in $3.4 million of lower profit.
  31
 
 
 2009 Compared With 2008
 
 JBT FoodTech’s revenue of $515.8 million represented a decrease of $68.2 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Continued challenging economic conditions in Europe and Latin America affected sales of our JBT FoodTech products. Sales of our freezing and chilling products and protein processing products declined in Europe by $29.5 million and in Latin America by $31.0 million. However, sales of our freezing and chilling products and protein processing products in Asia increased by $7.8 million. Sales of our freezing and chilling products and protein processing products in North America increased by $8.0 million in the ready meals market and by $5.6 million in the poultry market driven by shipments of large orders in 2009, however these increases were offset by lower sales in the meat and other markets. Sales of our in-container and fruit processing product lines improved slightly compared to the prior year period due to completion of large projects. Unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation resulted in $18.2 million of lower revenue.  The remaining difference was primarily due to favorable impact of foreign currency transactions.
 
 JBT FoodTech’s operating profit of $52.4 million represented a decrease of $8.7 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Lower sales volume resulted in $15.7 million of lower profits. However, gross profit margins improved due to a higher proportion of revenue from aftermarket parts and services resulting in $2.9 million of incremental profits. Research and development costs decreased by $2.8 million while general and administrative costs decreased by $1.9 million primarily due to a cost reduction program we implemented in the first quarter of 2009. Selling costs decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to lower sales volume. The remaining difference was primarily due to an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
 
 JBT AeroTech
 
 2010 Compared With 2009
 
 JBT AeroTech’s revenue of $351.2 million represented an increase of $30.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase in revenue was a result of higher demand for our ground support equipment and gate equipment products. Revenue from ground support equipment sales increased by $26.6 million, while revenue from gate equipment product sales increased by $23.8 million. These increases in revenue were partially offset by lower sales of Halvorsen loaders due to completion of a U.S. Air Force production contract.
 
 JBT AeroTech’s operating profit of $28.6 million represented an increase of $1.4 million in 2010 compared to 2009. Operating profit margin decreased from 8.5% to 8.1%. Higher sales volume resulted in an increase in profit of $7.1 million while lower costs primarily due to cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2009 resulted in an increase in profit of $2.1 million. Gross profit margins declined due to the lower proportion of revenue from Halvorsen loaders and competitive pricing pressure in Airport Services, which together resulted in a decrease in profit of $7.8 million.
 
 2009 Compared With 2008
 
 JBT AeroTech’s revenue of $320.7 million represented a decrease of $126.2 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Weak demand for our ground support equipment due to the global recession, combined with very strong results in 2008 driven by conversion of 2007 year-end order backlog, resulted in a decrease in revenue of $105.1 million. Lower sales of our gate equipment products resulted in a decrease in revenue of $24.5 million primarily driven by fewer shipments of pre-conditioned air units to the U.S. military. Higher sales of our Halvorsen loaders resulted in an increase in revenue of $4.7 million, but were mostly offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
 
 JBT AeroTech’s operating profit of $27.2 million represented a decrease of $11.3 million in 2009 compared to 2008. Lower sales volume resulted in a decrease in profits of $24.7 million. However, gross profit margins improved by 2.4 percentage points due to a more favorable product mix resulting in $7.8 million of incremental gross profit. Selling costs decreased by $2.7 million primarily due to lower sales volume. Research and development costs decreased by $1.5 million while general and administrative costs decreased by $1.2 million primarily due to a cost reduction program we implemented in the first quarter of 2009.
 
 Corporate Items
 
 2010 Compared With 2009
 
 Corporate items of $25.1 million represented a decrease of $5.6 million in 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease was driven by favorable pension expenses due to the freeze of the U.S. pension plan at the end of 2009, which resulted in $3.1 million of lower corporate items. Additionally, a decline in inventory levels required a reduction in the LIFO reserve resulting in $2.4 million of lower corporate items.
  32
  2009 Compared With 2008
 
 Corporate items of $30.7 million represented a decrease of $2.4 million in 2009 compared to 2008. The decrease was driven by the impact of foreign currency transactions. In the third quarter of 2008, we elected to discontinue designating our new foreign currency derivative instruments as hedging instruments. Therefore, during 2009 all changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments were recognized in earnings. Foreign currency transactions resulted in $6.3 million of gains in 2009 compared to $5.8 million of losses in 2008. The gains in 2009 were driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar primarily against the Brazilian real. The impact of foreign currency transactions was partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in interest expense. The interest expense in 2009 reflects the interest expense on the senior unsecured notes we issued and the credit facility we entered into in July 2008 in connection with the Separation. The expense in 2008 reflects interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and the credit facility for only the period after the Separation, as we did not have significant amounts of debt outstanding prior to the Separation. Additionally, we recognized $3.9 million of restructuring costs in 2009 compared to $0.9 million in 2008.

  Order backlog in our JBT FoodTech segment at December 31, 2010 increased by $6.7 million since year-end 2009 due to several large orders received in 2010. We expect to convert the entire JBT FoodTech backlog at December 31, 2010 into revenue during 2011.
 
 Order backlog in our JBT AeroTech segment at December 31, 2010 increased by $68.7 million since year-end 2009 due to large orders received for gate equipment products and ground support equipment. We expect to convert approximately 82% of the JBT AeroTech backlog at December 31, 2010 into revenue during 2011.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities and our credit facility. We believe cash flows from operations and the credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital, research and development activities, capital expenditures, pension contributions and other financing requirements. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors.
 
 Cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended on December 31, 2010 were as follows:

 Cash flows provided by continuing operating activities in 2010 were $17.6 million, representing a $36.5 million decrease compared to 2009. The change in cash flows is primarily attributable to changes in working capital. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were approximately $41 million higher than in the same quarter in 2009, resulting in significantly higher levels of trade receivables and accounts payable at year end. Part of the increase in trade receivables was due to approximately $25 million of higher unbilled receivables for long-term projects, such as those in JBT AeroTech. We strive to obtain advance payments for all projects. However, our billings in excess of revenue recognized were approximately $5 million lower as of December 31, 2010 compared to the same date in 2009. Additionally, we made a voluntary contribution of $10.2 million to our U.S. defined benefit plan in 2010 compared to a contribution of $14.0 million in 2009. Cash flows from continuing operating activities in 2009 were $27.7 million lower than in 2008 driven by an $11.3 million decrease in income from continuing operations and $15.4 million of higher pension plan contribution.
 
 The majority of our investing activities support the maintenance and upgrading of our installed base of leased equipment. Our annual capital spending typically ranges from $20.0 million to $25.0 million.
 
 Our financing activities in 2010 consisted primarily of $11.8 million of net proceeds from our credit facility partially offset by dividends paid to our shareholders. Our financing activities in 2009 consisted primarily of payments to reduce our debt by $53.4 million.
 
 Financing Arrangements
 
 We have a $225 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of financial institutions at December 31, 2010. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or an alternative base rate, which is the greater of JPMorgan Chase, N.A.’s Prime Rate or Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. We are required to make periodic interest payments on the borrowed amounts and pay an annual facility fee ranging from 17.5 to 35 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility expires on July 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2010, we had $68.7 million drawn on the credit facility, approximately $28 million in letters of credit issued under the credit facility and approximately $128 million of additional available funds.
 
 We had an interest rate swap which fixed the annual interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility at 4.9%. For the period from July 31, 2008 to January 29, 2010, the interest rate swap fixed the interest rate on $50 million of our borrowings and for the period from January 30, 2010 to January 31, 2011, the interest rate swap fixed the interest on $25 million of our borrowings.
 
 Additionally, we have $75 million of 6.66% senior unsecured notes outstanding. The senior unsecured notes are due on July 31, 2015 and require us to make semiannual interest payments.
 
 Our credit agreement and notes include restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines, requirement to repay our borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants of our contractual obligations as shown in the following table:

Interest coverage ratio is a comparison of the trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, defined as net income plus interest expense plus income tax expense plus depreciation and amortization plus non-cash expenses and extraordinary, unusual and non-recurring items, to trailing twelve months interest expense.(2)
Leverage ratio is a comparison of the total indebtedness, defined as total debt plus guarantees of indebtedness of others plus obligations under financial letters of credit issued against the credit facility, to the trailing twelve month Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above.(3)
Capital expenditures are limited to $30 million plus 50% of the unutilized amount from prior year.
 We expect to remain in compliance with all restrictive covenants in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that continued or increased volatility in the global economic conditions will not impair our ability to meet our restrictive covenants, or the volatility in the capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 Outlook
 
 We plan to meet our cash requirements in future periods with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. On February 23, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of outstanding common stock, or approximately $2.0 million. The dividend will be paid on March 25, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 4, 2011. We estimate that we will contribute approximately $11.5 million in 2011 to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, primarily reflecting discretionary contributions to our U.S. qualified pension plan.
 
 We continue to evaluate acquisitions in the normal course of business which we expect to fund with cash generated from operations or borrowings under our credit agreements.

Our available long-term debt is dependent upon our compliance with covenants described in the previous section. Any violations of covenants or other events of default, which are not waived or cured, could have a material impact on our ability to maintain our committed financial arrangements.(b)
In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with our suppliers to purchase raw materials or services. These agreements include a requirement that our supplier provide products or services to our specifications and require us to make a firm purchase commitment to our supplier. As substantially all of these commitments are associated with purchases made to fulfill our customers’ orders, the costs associated with these agreements will ultimately be reflected in cost of sales on our statements of income.(c)
We expect to make approximately $11.5 million in contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during 2011. This amount primarily reflects discretionary contributions to our U.S. qualified pension plan. Required contributions for future years depend on factors that cannot be determined at this time.

 To provide required security regarding our performance on certain contracts, we provide letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees, for which we are contingently liable. In order to obtain these financial instruments, we pay fees to various financial institutions in amounts competitively determined in the marketplace. Our ability to generate revenue from certain contracts is dependent upon our ability to obtain these off-balance sheet financial instruments.
 
 Our off-balance sheet financial instruments may be renewed, revised or released based on changes in the underlying commitment. Historically, our commercial commitments have not been drawn upon to a material extent; consequently, management believes it is not likely that there will be claims against these commitments that would result in a negative impact on our key financial ratios or our ability to obtain financing.
 
 Critical Accounting Estimates
 
 We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, our management re-evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions for reasonableness because of the critical impact that these factors have on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewedthis disclosure. We believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in preparing our financial statements.
  35
 
 Inventory Valuation
 
 Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In order to determine net realizable value, we evaluate each component of inventory on a regular basis to determine whether it is excess or obsolete. We record the decline in the carrying value of estimated excess or obsolete inventory as a reduction of inventory and as an expense included in cost of sales in the period in which it is identified. Our estimate of excess and obsolete inventory is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period. In addition, it requires management to make judgments about the future demand for inventory.
 
 In order to quantify excess or obsolete inventory, we begin by preparing a candidate listing of the components of inventory that have not demonstrated usage within the most recent two-year period. This list is then reviewed with sales, production and materials management personnel to determine whether this list of potential excess or obsolete inventory items is accurate. Management considers as part of this evaluation whether there has been a change in the market for finished goods, whether there will be future demand for on-hand inventory items and whether there are components of inventory that incorporate obsolete technology. Then management assigns a reserve requirement, which is determined based on its assessment of cost recoverability, to the items on the candidate listing. As a result, our estimate of excess or obsolete inventory is sensitive to changes in assumptions about future demand for the inventory. Since the determination of the reserve requirement is based on management judgment rather than a formulaic approach, we are unable to quantify with a high level of precision the effect that a change in demand assumptions would have on management’s assessment of the excess and obsolete inventory reserve, although lower demand assumptions would generally result in an increase in excess and obsolete inventory.
 
 Goodwill
 
 Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to the net assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
 
 Significant judgment is applied when determining the fair value of a reporting unit. We use an income approach to determine the fair value. The income approach is based on discounted cash flows which are derived from internal forecasts for each respective reporting unit. Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We develop our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results, trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches, and customer sales commitments. We also apply judgment when selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions and selecting an appropriate control premium.
 
 We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2010 and determined there was no impairment. We currently believe that there is no significant risk of future material goodwill impairment in any of our reporting units.
 
 Self-Insurance Reserves
 
 We purchase third-party insurance for workers’ compensation, automobile, product and general liability claims that exceed a certain level. We are responsible for the payment of claims under these insured limits as well as claims under our self-insured healthcare plans. The obligations associated with the incurred losses are determined using actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for medical costs, environmental hazards, and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change which could potentially be material to our results of operation and financial condition.
 
 Accounting for Income Taxes
 
 In determining our current income tax provision, we assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. When we maintain deferred tax assets, we must assess the likelihood that these assets will be recovered through adjustments to future taxable income. To the extent we believe recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We record an allowance reducing the asset to a value we believe will be recoverable based on our expectation of future taxable income. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period as it requires management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of the deferred tax assets, and the impact of increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance is potentially material to our results of operations.
  36
 
 Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We develop our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results, trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our segments’ performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches, and customer sales commitments. Significant changes in the expected realizability of the net deferred tax assets would require that we adjust the valuation allowance, resulting in a change to net income.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, we estimated that it is not likely that we will realize income tax deductions for certain uncollectible receivables and, therefore, we have provided a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. We have estimated that it is likely that we will generate future taxable income in the U.S. and most foreign jurisdictions, and have therefore not provided a valuation allowance against most of our deferred tax assets.
 
 Retirement Benefits
 
 We provide most of our employees with certain retirement (pension) and postretirement (health care and life insurance) benefits. In order to measure the expense and obligations associated with these retirement benefits, management must make a variety of estimates, including discount rates used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets set aside to fund these costs, employee turnover rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. We update these estimates on an annual basis or more frequently upon the occurrence of significant events. These accounting estimates bear the risk of change due to the uncertainty attached to the estimate as well as the fact that these estimates are difficult to measure. Different estimates used by management could result in our recognizing different amounts of expense over different periods of time.
 
 We use third-party specialists to assist management in evaluating our assumptions as well as appropriately measuring the costs and obligations associated with these retirement benefits. The discount rate and expected return on plan assets are based primarily on investment yields available and the historical performance of our plan assets. They are critical accounting estimates because they are subject to management’s judgment and can materially affect net income.
 
 For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, pension costs were a benefit of $1.7 million and expense of $8.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Pension expense reported in the periods prior to the Separation includes an allocation of expense from FMC Technologies.
 
 The discount rate used affects the periodic recognition of the interest cost component of net periodic pension cost. The discount rate is based on rates at which the pension benefit obligation could effectively be settled on a present value basis. To determine the weighted average discount rate, we review long-term, high quality corporate bonds at December 31 of each year and use a model that matches the projected benefit payments for our plans to coupons and maturities from high quality bonds. Significant changes in the discount rate, such as those caused by changes in the yield curve, the mix of bonds available in the market, the duration of selected bonds, and the timing of expected benefit payments may result in volatility in pension expense and pension liabilities.
 
 Our pension expense is typically sensitive to changes in our estimate of discount rate. However, holding other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point reduction or increase in the discount rate would not significantly change the annual pension expense for 2010.
 
 Net periodic pension cost includes an underlying expected long-term rate of asset return. Our estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets, current market conditions, our asset allocation and long-term growth expectations. Our estimated long-term rate of asset return at December 31, 2010 was approximately 8.6%. The expected return on plan assets is recognized as part of the net periodic pension cost. The difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets is amortized over the expected remaining life of participants, so there is a lag time between the market’s performance and its impact on plan results.
 
 Our pension expense is sensitive to changes in our estimate of expected rate of return on plan assets. Holding other assumptions constant, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points in the expected rate of return on plan assets would decrease or increase annual pension expense by approximately $1.1 million before taxes.
 
 ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
 We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In order to manage and mitigate our exposure to these risks, we may use derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. We do not use derivative financial instruments where the objective is to generate profits solely from trading activities. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, our derivative holdings consisted of foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts and an interest rate swap agreement. We do not hedge foreign currency translation risk.
  37
 
 These forward-looking disclosures address potential impacts from market risks only as they affect our financial instruments. They do not include other potential effects which could impact our business as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices or equity prices.
 
 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
 During 2010, our foreign subsidiaries generated approximately 37% of our revenue, driven by our operations in Sweden which generated approximately 14% of our revenue. Financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation risk.
 
 When we sell or purchase products or services, transactions are frequently denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency. When foreign currency exposures exist, we may enter into foreign exchange forward instruments with third parties to economically hedge foreign currency exposures. Our hedging policy reduces, but does not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. We do not apply hedge accounting for our foreign currency forward instruments.
 
 We economically hedge our recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We expect any gains or losses in the hedging portfolio to be substantially offset by a corresponding gain or loss in the underlying exposures being hedged. We also economically hedge firmly committed anticipated transactions in the normal course of business. As these are not offset by an underlying balance sheet position being hedged, our earnings can be significantly impacted on a periodic basis by the change in unrealized value of these hedges.
 
 We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and all other variables are held constant. We expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments will offset the changes in fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. A 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates would reduce the value of our derivative instruments for which we do not apply hedge accounting by approximately $6.9 million as of December 31, 2010. This amount would be reflected in our net income but would be significantly offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.
 
 Interest Rate Risk
 
 Our debt instruments subject us to market risk associated with movements in interest rates. We had $68.9 million in variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2010. We have entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap related to a portion of the variable rate debt. The swap provides for payment at an average fixed interest rate of4.9%until its maturity on January 31, 2011. For the period from July 31, 2008 to January 29, 2010, the notional amount of the swap was $50 million. For the period from January 30, 2010 to January 31, 2011, the notional amount of the swap is $25 million.
 
 We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact on fair value of the interest rate swap of an immediate adverse movement in the interest rates of 50 basis points. This analysis was based on a modeling technique that measures the hypothetical market value resulting from a 50 basis point change in interest rates. This adverse change in the applicable interest rates would result in an immaterial decrease in the net fair value of our interest rate swap at December 31, 2010. We account for the interest rate swap using hedge accounting where the fair value of the swap is recorded in other accumulated income and is amortized into income as variable interest expense is recorded.
 
 At December 31, 2010 we had $43.9 million of unhedged variable rate debt. Using sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement in the interest rate, or 16 basis points, would result in an immaterial increase to the annual interest expense.

 JOHN BEAN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Description of Business—John Bean Technologies Corporation (“JBT Corporation,” the “Company” or “we”) designs, manufactures and services sophisticated machinery and systems for, and provides services to, customers in the food processing and air transportation industries. We have manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers. We report our results through two business segments—JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech.
 
 The Separation—In October 2007, FMC Technologies, Inc. (“FMC Technologies”) announced an intention to separate into two independent publicly-traded companies through the distribution of 100% of its FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses to the shareholders of FMC Technologies (the “Separation”).
 
 In preparation for the Separation, FMC Technologies contributed all of the assets and liabilities of the FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses to JBT Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMC Technologies. FMC Technologies accomplished the Separation through a distribution of .216 of a share of JBT Corporation common stock for every share of FMC Technologies common stock on July 31, 2008, to FMC Technologies shareholders of record as of July 22, 2008.
 
 Basis of Presentation—The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of JBT Corporation as an independent publicly-traded company subsequent to the Separation and a combined reporting entity comprising the assets and liabilities used in managing and operating the FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses of FMC Technologies for the periods prior to the Separation.
 
 The financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States (“GAAP”) on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements of FMC Technologies using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the transferred businesses and including allocations from FMC Technologies. This presentation incorporates the same principles used when preparing consolidated financial statements, including elimination of intercompany transactions. Allocated expenses include general and administrative services such as accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, information technology and other corporate and infrastructure services. Many assets, liabilities and expenses could be specifically identified with our businesses or personnel and were directly allocated. To the extent amounts could not be specifically identified and allocated, we primarily used our proportion of FMC Technologies’ total revenue as a reasonable allocation method. Allocations have been determined on the basis of assumptions and estimates that management believes to be a reasonable reflection of our utilization of those services. These allocations and estimates, however, are not necessarily indicative of the assets, liabilities and expenses that would have resulted if we had operated as a separate entity in the past, or that may result in the future.
 
 Upon the effectiveness of the Separation, we significantly changed our capital structure. The financial statements prior to the Separation do not reflect the debt or interest expense we might have incurred if we were a stand-alone entity. In addition, the financial statements may not be indicative of our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows in the future or what our financial position, operating results and cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
  Reclassifications—Certain amounts in prior years' financial information have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be relevant under the circumstances.
 
 Revenue recognition—Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
 •
there is evidence of a customer arrangement with a fixed or determinable fee,•
delivery has occurred, and•
there is reasonable assurance of collectibility.
 
 Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if there is a customer acceptance provision, the associated revenue is deferred until we have satisfied the acceptance provision.
  44
 
 Certain of our product sales recorded in the JBT AeroTech segment relate to construction-type contracts and are recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. However, revenue recognition does not begin until a substantial portion of the labor hours are incurred to ensure that revenue is not accelerated for materials procurement. We primarily measure progress toward completion by the cost-to-cost method. Any expected losses are charged to earnings, in total, in the period the losses are identified.
 
 Progress billings generally are issued contingent on completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. Revenue in excess of progress billings on contracts amounted to $ 50.5 million and $ 25.8million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These unbilled receivables are reported in trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Progress billings and cash collections in excess of revenue recognized on a contract are classified as advance and progress payments on the balance sheets. All unbilled trade payables are accrued in other current liabilities when revenue is recognized. Unbilled trade payables were $14.2 million and $11.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 Service revenue is recognized either when performance is complete or proportionately over the period of the underlying contract, depending on the type of contract. If current period revenue is dependent on future obligations, such revenue is deferred until performance is complete.
 
 Some of our operating lease revenue is earned from full-service leases for which we are paid annual fixed rates plus, in some cases, payment based on production volumes. Revenue from production volumes is recognized when determinable and collectible.
 
 Each customer arrangement is evaluated to determine the presence of multiple deliverables that represent separate elements of revenue recognition. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, such as the sale of equipment with a service agreement, we generally allocate the contract value to the various elements based on relative selling price for each element and recognize revenue consistent with the nature of each deliverable. Where separate deliverables are contractually contingent on future obligations, revenue is deferred until performance is complete for all contingent elements.
 
 Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
 Trade receivables—We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on historical collection experience and a specific review of each customer’s trade receivable balance.
 
 Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes an estimate for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for all domestic inventories, except certain inventories relating to construction-type contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.
 
 Impairment of long-lived and intangible assets—Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and capitalized software costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
 
 Property, plant, and equipment—Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements—20 to 35 years, buildings—20 to 50 years; and machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are reflected in income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset.
 
 Capitalized software costs—Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software (including Internet web sites). The assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and totaled $ 5.5million and $ 6.5million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These software costs include significant purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to ten years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed three years.
  45
 
 Goodwill and other intangible assets—Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment on an annual basis (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). We have established October 31 as the date of our annual test for impairment of goodwill. Impairment losses are calculated at the reporting unit level, and represent the excess of the carrying value of reporting unit goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by a two-step process. The first compares the fair value of the reporting unit (measured as the present value of expected future cash flows) to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a second step is performed. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of goodwill, which is used to measure the impairment loss.
 
 Our acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 7 to 15 years. None of our acquired intangible assets have indefinite lives.
 
 Income taxes—Income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between financial statement reporting and income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
 
 A liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded whenever management believes it is more likely than not that the position will not be realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense.
 
 Income taxes are not provided on the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.
 
 For the periods prior to the Separation, our operating results were included in FMC Technologies’ consolidated U.S. and state income tax returns and in tax returns of certain FMC Technologies foreign subsidiaries. For the periods prior to the Separation, the provision for income taxes has been computed as if JBT Corporation was a stand-alone entity and filed separate tax returns. The provision was impacted by FMC Technologies’ tax structure and strategies, which were designed to optimize an overall tax position and not that of JBT Corporation as part of its multiple businesses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.
 
 Stock-based employee compensation—We measure compensation cost on restricted stock awards based on the market price at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The compensation cost for each award is recognized ratably over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee becomes retirement eligible, after taking into account estimated forfeitures. For the periods prior to the Separation, stock-based compensation represents the costs related to FMC Technologies’ share-based awards granted to employees of JBT Corporation.
 
 Foreign currency—Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated to the U.S. dollar prior to consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated.
 
 Derivative financial instruments—Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. We do not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge.
 
 Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time related deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in operating earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. Effectiveness of forward contract cash flow hedges is assessed based solely on changes in fair value attributable to the change in the spot rate. The change in the fair value of the contract related to the change in forward rates is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in this excluded component of the derivative instrument, along with any ineffectiveness identified, are recorded in operating earnings as incurred. We document our risk management strategy and method for assessing hedge effectiveness at the inception of and throughout the term of each hedge.
  46
 
 We elected to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for all foreign currency derivative positions entered into after our Separation from FMC Technologies. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and, to the extent derivatives economically hedge existing assets or liabilities as opposed to anticipated transactions, offset gains or losses on the remeasurement of the related asset or liability. In the consolidated statements of income, earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to sales and remeasurement of sales related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in revenue, while earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to purchases and remeasurement of purchase related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in cost of sales. These gains and losses are recorded in other expense, net in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.
 
 Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions.
 
 Recently issued accounting pronouncements— On January 1, 2010, we adopted the updated guidance related to revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and provides guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration between the identified units of accounting. We elected to adopt the updated guidance on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or modified after December 31, 2009. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
 On January 1, 2010, we adopted the updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and a separate description of the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a separate disclosure is required of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance also requires fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. We have not yet adopted the guidance with respect to the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements as it is not effective until our first quarter of 2011. We have updated our disclosures to comply with the updated guidance, which did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
 During the fourth quarter of 2010, we adopted the new disclosure guidance related to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. This guidance requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
 NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
 We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group and the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next 12 months.

 Inventories accounted for under the LIFO method totaled $100.4 million and $103.7 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The current replacement costs of LIFO inventories exceeded their recorded values by $44.7 million and $46.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Certain inventory quantity reductions caused a liquidation of LIFO layers resulting in a benefit to our net income of $1.7 million and $0.3 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 In 2009, we acquired U.K.-based Double D Food Engineering Ltd. (“Double D”) for $6.7 million. Double D designs, manufactures and services custom-built ovens for bakery and protein products. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded $1.1 million of goodwill and $3.4 million of intangible assets, reflecting primarily a customer list. Double D is included in the JBT FoodTech reporting segment.
 
 NOTE 7. DEBT
 
 On July 31, 2008, we issued 6.66% senior unsecured notes and entered into a $225 million, 5-year revolving credit facility. The senior unsecured notes are due on July 31, 2015 and require us to make semiannual interest payments. The note purchase agreement contains customary covenants including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The leverage ratio covenant restricts the amount of Consolidated Total Indebtedness we may have compared to Consolidated EBITDA, according to the terms defined in the note purchase agreement. The interest coverage ratio covenant restricts the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense we may have compared to Consolidated EBITDA, according to the terms defined in the note purchase agreement. The revolving credit facility similarly contains certain customary covenants including similar leverage and interest coverage ratios and also limits the annual amounts we may spend on dividends and capital expenditures. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either the London Interbank Offered Rate or an alternative base rate, which is the greater of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Prime Rate and Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. We are required to make periodic interest payments on the borrowed amounts and pay an annual facility fee ranging from 17.5 to 35 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Borrowings on the revolving credit facility are shown as a long-term obligation on the consolidated balance sheets because we have both the ability and the intent to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis under the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2010, we are in compliance with all restrictive covenants and expect to remain in compliance in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that continued or increased volatility in the global economic conditions will not impair our ability to meet our restrictive covenants, or the volatility in the capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 Interest rate swap—As of December 31, 2010, we had an interest rate swap which fixed the annual interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility at 4.9%. For the period from July 31, 2008 to January 29, 2010, the interest rate swap fixed the interest rate on $50 million of our borrowings and for the period from January 30, 2010 to January 31, 2011, the interest rate swap fixed the interest on $25 million of our borrowings.

 Net operating loss carryforwards are related to our foreign operations. At December 31, 2010, we had $16.7 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income in several foreign jurisdictions indefinitely, and $6.7 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income through 2031. Foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3.3 million at December 31, 2010 will expire between 2015 and 2018 if unused.
 
 Included in our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010, are tax benefits related to accrued expenses and accounts receivable allowances. A portion of the accrued expenses and accounts receivable allowances are due to uncollectible accounts receivable of a foreign operation for which it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize a tax benefit. Therefore, we continue to carry a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets.

 U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $70.6 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 as these amounts are considered permanently invested. A liability could arise if our intention to permanently invest such earnings were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to the hypothetical distribution of permanently invested earnings.
 
 During 2010, we recorded $0.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken in prior years. We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits prior to 2010. The entire balance would affect the effective tax rate, if ultimately recognized, and is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as resolution is not anticipated in the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2010, amounts related to interest and penalties were less than $0.1 million.
 
 We are a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement with FMC Technologies whereby we have agreed to indemnify FMC Technologies for any additional tax liability resulting from JBT Corporation businesses. We are not aware of any additional tax liability.

 NOTE 9. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
 
 We sponsor qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans that together cover substantially all of our U.S. employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. In addition, we sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans that cover some of our U.S. employees. The postretirement health care plans are contributory while the postretirement life insurance plans are noncontributory. Foreign-based employees are eligible to participate in JBT Corporation-sponsored or government sponsored benefit plans to which we contribute. We also sponsor a separate defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of our U.S. employees.
 
 Prior to the Separation, our employees were eligible to participate in pension and other postretirement benefit plans sponsored by FMC Technologies. Accordingly, we accounted for pension and other postretirement benefit costs prior to the Separation under the multiemployer plan approach, and have recognized the pension and other postretirement costs allocated to us by FMC Technologies as expense, and recorded a corresponding contribution in parent company investment. Pension and other postretirement benefit costs were allocated to us based on the projected benefit obligation associated with JBT Corporation-specific employees. In conjunction with the Separation, certain pension and other postemployment benefit obligations and plan assets related to our employees and retirees were contributed to us.
 
 On September 15, 2009, we amended our domestic defined benefit pension plans to discontinue future benefit accruals for active non-union participants after December 31, 2009. Additionally, the domestic defined benefit pension plans were amended to freeze any future participation in such plans by non-union employees as of January 1, 2010.
 
 As a result of the amendments to our domestic defined benefit pension plans, we recognized in 2009 a curtailment gain of $0.8 million to recognize all previously unrecognized prior service benefits. Additionally, as a result of discontinuing future benefit accruals for active non-union employees, our projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2009 was reduced by $25.6 million.
 
 The funded status of our U.S. qualified and nonqualified pension plans, certain foreign pension plans and U.S. postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans, together with the associated balances recognized in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, were as follows:

 The estimated net actuarial loss for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $1.5 million. The estimated prior service credit for the other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $0.9 million. Prior service credits are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees eligible to receive benefits under the plan. Unrecognized actuarial losses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining lifetime of employees eligible to receive benefits under the frozen plans and over the average remaining service period of employees eligible to receive benefits under all other plans.

 The estimate of expected rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets, current market conditions and long-term growth expectations.
 
 Assumed health care cost trend rates for future periods will not have an effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement health care plan since our benefit obligation under the plan was fully capped at the 2002 benefit level. Accordingly, a one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a significant effect on total service and interest costs or on our postretirement health care obligation under this plan.
 
 Plan assets –Our pension investment strategy balances the requirements to generate returns, using higher-returning assets such as equity securities, with the need to control risk in the pension plan with less volatile assets, such as fixed-income securities. Risks include, among others, the likelihood of the pension plans becoming underfunded, thereby increasing their dependence on Company contributions. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated against specific benchmarks. Our target asset allocations and actual allocation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

 The fair value of assets classified as Level 1 is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of assets classified as Level 2 is based on quoted prices for similar assets or based on inputs either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Such inputs include net asset values reported at a minimum on a monthly basis by investment funds or contract values provided by the issuing insurance company. We are able to sell any of our investment funds with notice of no more than 30 days. For more information on a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 14.
 
 Contributions—We expect to contribute approximately $11.5 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2011. The pension contributions will be primarily for the U.S. qualified pension plan. All of the contributions are expected to be in the form of cash.

 Savings Plans—Our U.S. and some international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans that we sponsor. These plans generally provide either a specified percent of pay or a matching contribution on participants’ voluntary contributions. Additionally, certain highly compensated employees participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which also allows for company matching contributions up to predetermined limits. Prior to the Separation, our employees participated in similar plans sponsored by FMC Technologies. Expenses from the defined contribution savings plans prior to the Separation were allocated to us by FMC Technologies. The expense for matching contributions, including allocated amounts, was $8.2 million, $4.4 million and $4.5 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had investments classified as trading securities for a non-qualified deferred compensation plan totaling $9.8 million, recorded at their fair market value. We recorded unrealized gains on these investments of $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are reported in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of income.

  For the period prior to the Separation, stock-based compensation expense includes an allocation of expense for awards granted to FMC Technologies’ corporate employees and directors.
 
 Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan
 
 As part of the Separation, we adopted the John Bean Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (“Incentive Compensation Plan”). The Incentive Compensation Plan provides certain incentives and awards to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Incentive Compensation Plan allows our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to make various types of awards to non-employee directors and the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board to make various types of awards to other eligible individuals. Awards that may be issued include common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units.
 
 Grants of common stock options may be incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. Under the Incentive Compensation Plan, the exercise price for options cannot be less than the market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options vest in accordance with the terms of the award as determined by the Committee, which is generally after three years of service, and expire not later than 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock grants specify any applicable performance goals, the time and rate of vesting and such other provisions as determined by the Committee. Restricted stock grants generally vest after three years of service. Additionally, most awards vest immediately upon a change of control as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan agreement. A total of 3.7 million shares of our common stock are authorized to be issued under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
 
 Restricted Stock Units—A summary of the nonvested restricted stock units of JBT Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and changes during the year are presented below:

  We granted time-based restricted stock units that vest after three years. The fair value of these time-based awards was determined using the market value of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee reaches age 62, the retirement eligible age under the plan. We also granted restricted stock units with performance-based conditions. The vesting period for these awards is three years.
 
 For current year performance-based awards, the issuance was dependent upon our performance relative to prior year with respect to earnings growth and return on investment for the year ending December 31, 2010. Based on results for the performance period, the issuance will be 98,681 shares at the vesting date in January 2013. Compensation cost has been measured for 2010 based on the actual outcome of the performance conditions.
 
 The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted in 2009 was $11.00.
 
 Stock Options—We have not granted any stock options. Outstanding options held by employees prior to the Separation remain outstanding and are all exercisable. The following is a summary of the stock options held by our employees as of December 31, 2010:

 The aggregate intrinsic value reflects the value to the option holders, or the difference between the market price as of December 31, 2010 and the exercise price of the option, which would have been received by the option holders had all options been exercised as of that date. While the intrinsic value is representative of the value to be gained by the option holders, this value is not indicative of our compensation expense. Compensation expense on stock options was calculated on the date of grant using the fair value of the options, as determined by a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the number of options granted, reduced by estimated forfeitures.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.5 million in 2010 and $0.9 million in 2009.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, there was $5.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for outstanding awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

 On July 31, 2008, our Board declared a dividend distribution to each recordholder of common stock of one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each share of common stock outstanding on that date. Each right entitles the holder to purchase, under certain circumstances related to a change in control of the Company, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, at a price of $72 per share (subject to adjustment), subject to the terms and conditions of a Rights Agreement dated July 31, 2008. The rights expire on July 31, 2018, unless redeemed by us at an earlier date. The redemption price of $0.01 per right is subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. We have reserved 1,500,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for possible issuance under the agreement.

 NOTE 12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
 Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.
 
 As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the Separation, on July 31, 2008 FMC Technologies distributed to its shareholders 27.5 million shares of our common stock. This share amount is being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented prior to the Separation as our common stock was not traded prior to July 31, 2008, and there were no dilutive securities in the prior periods.
 
 The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS utilizing the income from continuing operations for the respective periods and our basic and dilutive shares outstanding:

  NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
 
 Derivative financial instruments— We hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging foreign currency risks and interest rate risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions.
 
 We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the economic impact of exchange rate volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business. We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years. As of December 31, 2010, we held forward exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of $319.0 million. Many of our sales and purchase contracts are written contemplating this risk and therefore contain embedded derivatives, which we consider part of our risk management policy.
 
 Additionally, we have entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of our variable rate debt described in Note 7.
 
 Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks and not for trading purposes where the objective is solely to generate profit. Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of items and transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives.
 
 The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments included within the consolidated balance sheets:

 Credit risk — By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectibility assessments.
 
 NOTE 14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
 The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into a three level hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
  •
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 •
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
 •
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

 Investments are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. We use the income approach to measure the fair value of derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency and interest rates, multiplied by the contract notional values, and includes a factor of credit risk.
 
 In addition to the methods and assumptions we use for the financial instruments recorded at fair value as discussed above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value for our other financial instruments which are not marked to market on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.
 
 The following are carrying values and estimated fair values of our debt financial instruments as of December 31:

 There is no active or observable market for our senior unsecured notes or our Brazilian Real loan. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the notes and the loan are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimate of the all-in interest rate for discounting the notes and the loan are based on a broker quote for notes and a loan with similar terms. We do not have a rate adjustment for risk profile changes, covenant issues or credit rating changes, therefore the broker quote is deemed to be the closest approximation of current market rates. The carrying value of the remaining borrowings approximates their fair value due to their variable interest rates.
 
 NOTE 15. TRANSACTIONS WITH FMC TECHNOLOGIES
 
 Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 include $12.6 million of allocations from FMC Technologies for providing us with the following services prior to the Separation: legal, tax, general accounting, communications, corporate development, benefits and human resources, information systems, payroll services, web hosting services and other public company costs.
 
 In connection with our Separation from FMC Technologies, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement with FMC Technologies (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) and several ancillary agreements to complete the separation of our businesses from FMC Technologies. These agreements defined key provisions related to the Separation and the relationship between the two companies after the Separation.
  NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
  59
 
 Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement with FMC Technologies, we have assumed liabilities related to legal proceedings arising from our business prior to the Separation. As a result, although FMC Technologies will remain the named defendant, we will manage the litigation and indemnify FMC Technologies for costs, expenses and judgments arising from litigation. We do not believe that resolution of any existing litigation we have assumed will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
 Guarantees and Product Warranties—In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled approximately $94.5 million at December 31, 2010, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided approximately $11.6 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of our existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; we expect to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. In some instances, we guarantee a small portion of our customers’ financing arrangements and retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of December 31, 2010, the maximum future payment obligation of such guarantees was $1.3 million and the associated liability balance was $0.3 million. Historically, we have not made significant payments associated with guarantees of our customers’ financing arrangements.
 
 We provide warranties of various lengths and terms to certain of our customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. We provide for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. We also provide a warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the balance sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information is as follows:

 Leases—We lease office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases of real estate generally provide that we pay for repairs, property taxes and insurance. Substantially all leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $10.1 million, $8.6 million and $9.3 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 NOTE 17. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
 Our determination of the two reportable segments was made on the basis of the Company’s strategic business units and the commonalities among the products and services within each segment, and corresponds to the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. Certain similar operating segments that meet applicable criteria established in the guidance for segment reporting have been combined.
 
 Our reportable segments are:
 
 •
JBT FoodTech—designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated food processing systems used for, among other things, fruit juice production, frozen food production, in-container food production and convenience food preparation by the food industry.
  •
JBT AeroTech—designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated ground support equipment, airport gate equipment, automated systems and services for airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, the military and other industries.
 
 60
 
 Total revenue by segment includes intersegment sales, which are made at prices that reflect, as nearly as practicable, the market value of the transaction. Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign currency related gains and losses, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the method we use to measure segment operating profit by excluding restructuring costs. As a result, all prior year measurements of segment operating profit have been restated for comparative purposes.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 (a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 (b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2010.



Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
  The Board of Directors and Stockholders
  John Bean Technologies Corporation:
 
  We have audited John Bean Technologies Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). John Bean Technologies Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Item 9A: Controls and Procedures. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
  We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
  A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
  In our opinion, John Bean Technologies Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
  We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated and combined statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 3, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated and combined financial statements.
