Xerium Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. Company History

Xerium Technologies, Inc. (the Company) is
a leading global manufacturer and supplier of two types of consumable products used primarily in the production of paper  clothing and roll covers. Operations are strategically located in the major paper-making regions of the world, including
North America, Europe, South America and Asia-Pacific.

Chapter 11 Filing, Emergence and Plan of Reorganization

On March 30, 2010, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the Debtor Subsidiaries) filed
voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (as amended, the Bankruptcy Code), and on April 1, 2010, the Company entered into a debtor-in-possession
financing facility consisting of a $20,000 revolving credit facility and $60,000 term loan (the DIP Facility). On May 25, 2010 (the Effective Date), the Companys amended joint prepackaged plan of reorganization
(the Plan) became effective and the Company and the Debtor Subsidiaries emerged from chapter 11. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date:



| |  |  | 20 million shares of new common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the New Common Stock) were authorized, of which an aggregate
of 14,970,050 shares were issued and outstanding, as described below. In addition, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.001, were authorized, of which 20,000 shares are designated as Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | All of the shares of the Companys common stock outstanding (the Old Common Stock), par value $0.01, were cancelled and replaced with
2,566,150 shares of New Common Stock, which was equivalent to a 20 to 1 reverse split of the Old Common Stock;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Companys lenders under its pre-petition credit facility and the interest rate swap termination counterparties (collectively, the
Lenders) received, among other things, their ratable shares of (a) $10,000 in cash, (b) $410,000 in principal amount of term notes, to be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (defined below), and
(c) 12,403,900 shares of New Common Stock; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Holders of the Companys Old Common Stock also received four-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,663,760 shares of New Common Stock (the
Warrants) at an exercise price of $19.55 per share, representing approximately 0.0324108 Warrants for each share of Old Common Stock.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a number of material agreements and engaged in a series of transactions on the Effective Date, including (i) the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility (defined below) (ii) the Exit Facility (defined below), (iii) a Rights Agreement, (iv) a Registration Rights Agreement with certain of the Companys stockholders, and (v) Director Nomination Agreements with
certain of the Companys stockholders. The terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Exit Facility are described below.

Amended and Restated Credit Facility

Pursuant
to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Companys existing senior credit facility was amended and restated as the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Facility), dated as of
May 25, 2010, by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and other agents and banks party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for a term
loan that has a principal amount of $410,000, and a maturity date that is five years following May 25, 2010, the closing date of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The $410,000 is denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Canadian Dollars
representing approximately 56%, 32% and 12% of this amount, respectively, at the Effective Date. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by second priority liens against, and security interests in, substantially all of the Companys
assets and the assets of most of its subsidiaries, subject to legal and tax considerations and requirements. In addition, most of the Companys U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility, provided that non-U.S. guarantors will only be liable for obligations of non-U.S borrowers and non-U.S. guarantors.

##### Table of Contents

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility term loans bear interest as
follows:



| |  |  | in the case of Xerium Canada Inc., at the CDOR (Canada Dollar) Rate plus (i) 6.25% if the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00
or (ii) 5.75% if the leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of Xerium Technologies, Inc. the LIBOR Rate plus (i) 6.25% if the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00 or (ii) 5.75% if the
leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of XTI LLC, Xerium Italia S.p.A., Huyck Wangner Austria GmbH and Xerium Germany Holding GmbH, at the Euribor Rate plus (i) 6.25% if
the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00 or (ii) 5.75 % if the leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The terms CDOR Rate, LIBOR Rate, and Euribor Rate have the same meanings as set forth in the Companys pre-petition credit facility except that the CDOR Rate, the
LIBOR Rate and the Euribor Rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum. Interest periods will be 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, then interest on the unpaid balance of the outstanding term loans will
accrue at a per annum rate of two percent greater than the rate of interest specified above.

The Amended and Restated Credit
Facility requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments under the following circumstances, subject to inter-creditor sharing arrangements with the lenders under the Exit Facility (as defined below) and on a pro rata basis with the Exit Facility:

(a) with 100% of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from any sale of any assets (50% of the net cash proceeds of
the sale of assets belonging to our Australian and Vietnamese subsidiaries) for any transaction or series of transactions exceeding $250 outside the ordinary course of business (subject to certain exceptions regarding discontinued manufacturing
facilities and exempting the first $3,000 if invested in other assets, except for the sale of assets belonging to the Companys Australian and Vietnamese subsidiaries);

(b) with 100% of insurance and condemnation award payments, subject to certain exemptions;

(c) with 100% of the cash proceeds from debt issuances, subject to certain exemptions; and

(d) with 50% of its excess cash after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year 2011; that is, Adjusted EBITDA plus a working capital adjustment, minus consolidated interest expense, cash
income tax expense, consolidated capital expenditures (subject to certain exceptions), consolidated restructuring costs, cash payments of withholding taxes from proceeds of the repurchase, redemption or retention of common stock and the aggregate
amount of scheduled and voluntary payments made during the past fiscal year.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility
requires that the Company observe and perform numerous affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also prohibits the payment of dividends on the New Common Stock.

Exit Facility

On the Effective Date, the DIP Facility was converted into an exit facility consisting of a $20,000 revolving credit facility and a $60,000 term loan (collectively, the Exit Facility) that was
used to satisfy the Companys and Debtor Subsidiaries obligations under the Plan and for ongoing working capital (including letters of credit) requirements. The revolving credit facility matures on a date that is three years following
May 25, 2010, the closing date of the Exit Facility, and the term loan will mature on a date that is four and one-half years following May 25, 2010. The Exit Facility is secured by first priority liens against, and security interests in,
substantially all of the Companys assets and the assets of most of its subsidiaries, subject to legal and tax considerations and requirements. All loans under the Exit Facility are senior to the amounts owing under the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility. In addition, most of the Companys U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Exit Facility, provided that non-U.S. guarantors will only be liable for obligations of non-U.S borrowers
and non-U.S. guarantors. The Company deferred costs of $3,645 related to the Exit Facility to be amortized over the life of the facility.

The loans under the Exit Facility are LIBOR Loans and bear interest at the annual rate equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin, 4.5% per year, with a LIBOR floor of 2.00% per
annum. Interest periods will be 1, 2, 3 or 6

months. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, then interest on the unpaid balance of the outstanding Exit Facility loans will accrue at a per annum rate of two percent greater than
the rate of interest specified above. If any event of default occurs and is continuing under the Exit Facility, each LIBOR Loan will convert to an ABR Loan at the end of the interest period then in effect for such LIBOR Loan.

The Exit Facility requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments under the same circumstances as with respect to the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility on a pro rata basis, which are described above. In addition, with limited exceptions, the Exit Facility requires that the Company observe and perform the same affirmative and negative covenants, including financial
covenants, as required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Accounting for the Reorganization

Subsequent to the Commencement Date and through the Effective Date, the Companys financial statements were prepared in accordance
with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 852, Reorganizations (Topic 852). Topic 852 does not change the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the preparation
of the Companys financial statements. However, for periods including and subsequent to the filing of a chapter 11 petition, Topic 852 does require that the financial statements distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated
with the reorganization from those that are associated with the ongoing operations of the business. Because the reorganization value of the Companys assets was greater than the sum of its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, the
Company did not adopt the fresh-start reporting principles of Topic 852.

In accordance with Topic 852, the Company
(i) separated liabilities that are subject to compromise from liabilities that are not subject to compromise, during the period subsequent to the Commencement Date and prior to the Effective Date; and (ii) distinguished transactions and
events that were directly associated with the reorganization from those that are associated with the ongoing operations of the business.

Reorganization items are presented separately in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent expenses that the Company identified as directly relating to the
chapter 11 case. These items for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are summarized below. As the reorganization occurred in 2010, there were no reorganization items in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $13,961 and $13,701 of restricted cash, respectively, which were classified as a current asset. The restricted cash serves as collateral
for letters of credit and no letter of credit has a maturity greater than one year, although certain of them can be renewed for another year. The cash is held in custody by the issuing bank, is restricted as to withdrawal or use and is currently
invested in money market funds. Income from these funds is paid to the Company.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements at March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. In managements
opinion, these unaudited condensed

##### Table of Contents

consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 as reported on Form 10-K filed on
March 11, 2011. Additionally, as discussed in Note 1, in 2010, the Company had a 20 to 1 reverse split of its Old Common Stock; accordingly the effect of the split has been reflected retroactively for all periods presented.

3. Accounting Policies

Derivatives and Hedging

As required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria
necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk are considered fair value hedges.
Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge
accounting under Topic 815.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other Intangible Assets(Topic 350). Topic 350
requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized but, instead, must be tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or business conditions warrant. During the three months ended March 31,
2011, the Company evaluated events and business conditions to determine if a test for an impairment of goodwill was warranted. No such events or business conditions took place during this period, therefore, no test was determined to be warranted at
March 31, 2011.

Warranties

The Company offers warranties on certain products that it sells. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product sold, the country in which the product is sold and
arrangements with the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability for such costs. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical
and anticipated rates of warranty claims, cost per claim and new product introduction. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty claims and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Below represents the changes in the
Companys warranty liability for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

Net Income (loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed and presented pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share(Topic 260). Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had outstanding restricted

stock units (RSUs), warrants and options. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company excluded the dilutive impact of potential future issuances of common stock
underlying the Companys RSUs, stock options and warrants from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive as the Company had a net loss for this period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares. As discussed in Note 1, in 2010, the Company
had a 20 to 1 reverse split of its Old Common Stock; accordingly, the effect of the split has been reflected retroactively for all periods presented.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-28, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts(ASU No. 2010-28). The amendments in this ASU modify
Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill
impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are
consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests 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. Amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. As both the Rolls and Clothing reporting units have positive carrying
values, this statement will have no impact on the Companys financial statements.

4. Derivatives and Hedging

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks
through management of its core business activities. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known cash
amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates or foreign exchange rates. Specifically, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps to hedge variable interest related to its prior senior debt and foreign exchange contracts to
protect the U.S. dollar value of certain assets and obligations. On December 31, 2009, the Company terminated with the counterparties all of its outstanding interest rate swap liabilities of $20,036 and converted them into notes payable to such
counterparties. No new interest rate swaps have been entered into by the Company.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate
Risk

The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives through December 31, 2009 were to add
stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps

designated as cash flow hedges involved the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without
exchange of the underlying notional amount.

As previously discussed, the Company terminated its outstanding interest rate
swaps at December 31, 2009 and has not entered into any new interest rate swap agreements since that time. Consequently, the Companys financial statements are exposed to the effects of interest rate fluctuations which could have a
material impact on its results of operations. However, under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the BA Rate, the LIBOR Rate and the Euribor Rate are subject to a minimum base rate of 2.00% per annum, which is currently higher than the
respective base rates.

The Companys interest rate swaps were considered designated hedging instruments through
August 31, 2009. Effective September 1, 2009, the interest rate swaps were no longer designated hedging instruments. During 2010, the Company amortized the mark to market balances related to these interest rate swaps from accumulated
other comprehensive income. The Company recognized an expense of $3,211 related to its derivative financial instruments in the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was included in interest expense in its Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations for that same period. This amount included the amortization of an additional $735 from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, as the Company determined it was probable that interest payments on
certain debt would not occur.

Although these interest rate swaps were subject to mark to market accounting through earnings
effective September 1, 2009, prior to their termination with the counterparties as discussed above, they effectively fixed, from a cash flow hedge perspective through December 31, 2010, the interest rate at 10.75% on approximately 79% of
the term loan portion of the Companys pre-petition credit facility. As a result of the termination of the interest rate swaps, the interest rate on the term loan portion of the credit facility was no longer effectively fixed through
December 31, 2010, the original term of the swaps.

Non-designated Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Companys exposure to foreign exchange rates but
do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of Topic 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly to earnings.

The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix currencies at specified rates based on expected
future cash flows to protect against the fluctuations in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in foreign currencies (cash flow hedges). Additionally, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency on intercompany balances and
certain purchase commitments, the Company from time to time uses foreign exchange forward contracts (fair value hedges).

As
of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships. The value of these contracts is recognized at fair value based on market
exchange forward rates and is recorded in other assets (liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these derivatives at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $(701) and $(222), respectively. The change
in fair value of these contracts as included in foreign exchange loss was $(592) and $(22) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Derivatives Under
ASC Topic 820

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(Topic 820), emphasizes that
fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for
considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting
entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability
to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entitys own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The
Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company determined that its derivative valuations, which are based on market exchange forward rates, fall within Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy. The Company does not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

6. Debt

As discussed in Note 1, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Commencement Date, and the Company and the Debtor
Subsidiaries emerged from chapter 11 on the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its senior credit facility pursuant to which, among other things, the total outstanding debt obligations
under the senior credit facility, which at May 25, 2010 were $603,590 were reduced to $410,000. Also on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the DIP Facility was converted into an exit facility consisting of a $20,000 revolving credit
facility and a $60,000 term loan used to fund the Companys emergence from chapter 11 and ongoing working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2011, no borrowings have been made under the revolving credit facility. See Note 1 for
additional information related to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the Exit Facility.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to scheduled quarterly principal payments on the term loans and approximately
$57,300 and $387,800 due at maturity in November 2014 and May 2015, respectively, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31,
2011, the Company made payments under its credit facility agreements as shown in the table below.



|                                  |  |                            |       |  |               |   |   |

As of March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the term debt under the Companys senior credit facility is $483,168 and $475,563, respectively, and exceeds its fair value of approximately $482,029 and $464,563, respectively. The Company
determined the fair value of its debt utilizing quoted prices in active markets for its own debt (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy).

7.
Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC
Topic 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Under Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their financial reporting and tax bases. The assets and liabilities are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company evaluates all available information including the Companys financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years,
as well as any available projected information for future years.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had a valuation
allowance in place for certain of its deferred tax assets due to the Companys accumulated loss position and its uncertainty around the future profitability in certain of its tax jurisdictions. The valuation allowance primarily relates to
available net operating loss carry forwards in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Sweden, France and Australia. While we believe we have adequately provided for our income tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the FASB
income tax guidance, we recognize that adverse determinations by taxing authorities, or changes in tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the provision for income taxes was $3,418 and $2,136, respectively. The increase
from the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was principally due to increased income being earned in 2011 as compared with 2010 in the jurisdictions where we currently pay income taxes. We continue to
incur net operating losses both domestically and in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no corresponding tax benefits are recognized as the losses are fully reserved for financial accounting purposes.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had a gross unrecognized tax benefit of $9,772. The unrecognized tax benefit increased by
approximately $485 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of foreign currency effects, statute expirations and ongoing changes in currently reserved positions.

The Companys policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense, which were
immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The tax years 2000 through 2010 remain open to examination by most of the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 25, 2010. The Companys review of
the potential impact of the overall plan of reorganization resulted in no material change in

its tax position. In December 2010, as a result of the debt reorganization, the Company impaired a portion of the deferred tax asset related to its German federal and trade loss carry forwards;
however, the impaired amount was not deemed material to the overall financial statements.

8. Pensions, Other Postretirement and
Postemployment Benefits

The Company accounts for its pension, postretirement and postemployment benefit plans in
accordance with ASC Topic 715, CompensationRetirement Benefits(Topic 715)

The Company has defined
benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its U.S. and Canadian employees and employees of certain subsidiaries in other countries. Benefits are generally based on the employees years of service and compensation. These plans are
funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations.

The Company has postemployment plans
in various countries which consist primarily of payments to be made to employees upon termination of employment, as defined, and are accrued according to local statutory laws in the respective countries.

The Company also sponsors various unfunded defined contribution plans that provide for retirement benefits to employees, some in
accordance with local government requirements.

The Company also maintains a funded retirement savings plan for U.S. employees
which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their compensation (plus catch-up contributions for participants over age 50), with the Company matching
200% of the first 1% of employee compensation and 100% of the next 4% of employee compensation. The matching contribution expense was $444 and $421 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As required by Topic 715, the following tables summarize the components of net periodic benefit cost:

10. Restructuring and Impairments Expense

Restructuring and impairments expense included in the Companys Statements of Operations are the result of its long-term strategy to reduce production costs and improve long-term competitiveness.
Restructuring and impairments expense consists principally of severance costs related to reductions in work force and of facility costs and impairments of assets principally related to closing facilities and/or shifting production from one facility
to another. Facility costs are principally comprised of costs to relocate assets to the Companys other facilities, operating lease termination costs and other associated costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded restructuring expenses of $168. The Company expects to incur
restructuring expenses of approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million in the aggregate during 2011, with 60% of the range of expected costs to be incurred in the clothing segment, and 40% of the range of expected costs to be incurred in the roll covers
segment. These costs are primarily related to the continuation of the streamlining of its operations. In addition, in the first quarter of 2011, the Company completed the sale of its Sherbrooke, Canada facility, with net proceeds of approximately
$1.6 million and a gain of $278. This facility was held for sale at December 31, 2010.

The table below sets forth for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the significant components and activity under restructuring programs and asset impairments:

##### Table of Contents

11. Business Segment Information

The Company is a global manufacturer and supplier of consumable products used primarily in the production of paper and is organized into
two reportable segments: Clothing and Roll Covers. The Clothing segment represents the manufacture and sale of synthetic textile belts used to transport paper along the length of papermaking machines. The Roll Covers segment primarily represents the
manufacture and refurbishment of covers used on the steel rolls of papermaking machines. The Company manages each of these operating segments separately.

Management evaluates segment performance based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before allocation of corporate charges. Such measure is then adjusted to exclude items
that are of an unusual nature and are not used in measuring segment performance or are not segment specific (Segment Earnings (Loss)). The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole.
Inter-segment net sales and inter-segment eliminations are not material for any of the periods presented.

Summarized
financial information for the Companys segments is presented in the tables that follow for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal matters, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Environmental Matters

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company, while evaluating its facility in Australia, discovered the possibility of contamination at
the facility. Subsequently the Company had a preliminary evaluation performed, which confirmed the existence of contamination and estimated preliminary costs to remediate this facility. Based

##### Table of Contents

upon this evaluation, the Company accrued $4,100 in 2008 as its best estimate of the remediation costs it expected to incur. A Phase II assessment of the groundwater contamination performed for
the Company during the second quarter of 2009 indicated the costs to remediate the contamination would be significantly less than originally estimated and accordingly, the Company reduced the accrual by $3,400 during the second quarter of 2009 based
on this assessment. At the end of the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a contingent purchase and sale agreement with a third party whereby the third party could purchase the Australian facility after two years from the date of the
purchase and sale agreement. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the environmental liability would transfer to the third party at the time of such purchase.

The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of amounts provided which may result from the resolution of environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, liquidity or cash flow of the Company.

13. Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders Equity

As discussed in Note 1, in 2010, the Company had a 20 to 1 reverse split of its Old Common Stock, accordingly the effect of the split has
been reflected retroactively for all periods presented.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in accordance
with Topic 718 and has used the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for time-based RSUs. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

period ended December 31, 2013.

Summary of Activity Under the MIC Plans

2010

On
September 22, 2010, the Board approved the 2010 MIC, which was an amendment and restatement of the Companys Performance Award Program for 2010. Under the 2010 MIC, payouts were determined by the Companys performance against a
specified Adjusted EBITDA metric for the 2010 fiscal year. Fifty percent (50%) of the 2010 MIC award earned was paid in cash of $2.5 million in March 2011 and 50% will be paid in the form of approximately 164,000 of common stock on June 3,
2011, based on an average per-share price within a collar. The 2010 MIC awards were paid out based on a sliding scale ranging from 35% if the metric is achieved at 95% of target up to 200% if the metric is achieved at 125% of target. The Adjusted
EBITDA metric was adjusted to reflect currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. Dollar.

2011

On March 15, 2011, the Board approved the 2011 Management Incentive Plan (2011 MIC). Under the 2011 MIC, payouts will be
determined by the Companys performance against a specified Adjusted EBITDA metric for the 2011 fiscal year. Fifty percent (50%) of any 2011 MIC award earned will be paid in cash and 50% is expected to be paid in the form of common stock
based on an average per-share price within a collar. The 2011 MIC awards will be paid out based on a sliding scale ranging from 35% if the metric is achieved at 95% of target up to 200% if the metric is achieved at 120% of target. The Adjusted
EBITDA metric will be adjusted to reflect currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. Dollar. The awards will be fully vested at the grant date and payable 90 days later.

Summary of Activity under the Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan

On March 15, 2011, the Board approved a new compensation plan for non-management directors (the 2011 DSU Plan). Under this plan, each director is to receive an annual retainer of $112, to
be paid on a quarterly basis in arrears beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Half of the annual retainer is payable in deferred stock units (DSUs), with the remaining half payable in cash. The non-management directors
were awarded an aggregate 3,492 DSUs under the 2011 DSU Plan for service during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Company Overview

We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of two categories of consumable products used primarily in the production of
paperclothing and roll covers. Our operations are strategically located in the major paper-producing regions of North America, Europe, South America and Asia-Pacific.

Our products play key roles in the formation and processing of paper along the length of a paper-making machine. Paper producers rely on our products and services to help improve the quality of their
paper, differentiate their paper products, operate their paper-making machines more efficiently and reduce production costs. Our products and services typically represent only a small fraction of a paper producers overall production costs, yet
they can reduce costs by permitting the use of lower-cost raw materials and reducing energy consumption. Paper producers must replace clothing and refurbish or replace roll covers regularly as these products wear down during the paper production
process. Our products are designed to withstand extreme temperature, chemical and pressure conditions, and are the result of a substantial investment in research and development and highly sophisticated manufacturing processes.

We operate in two principal business segments: clothing and roll covers. In our clothing segment, we manufacture and sell highly
engineered synthetic textile belts that transport paper as it is processed on a paper-making machine. Clothing plays a significant role in the forming, pressing and drying stages of paper production. Because paper-making processes and machine
specifications vary widely, the clothing size, form, material and function is selected to fit each individual paper-making machine and process. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our clothing segment represented 66% of our net sales.

Our roll cover products provide a surface with the mechanical properties necessary to process the paper sheet in a
cost-effective manner that delivers the sheet qualities desired by the paper producer. Roll covers are tailored to each individual paper-making machine and process, using different materials, treatments and finishings. In addition to manufacturing
and selling new roll covers, we also provide refurbishment services for previously installed roll covers and manufacture spreader rolls. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our roll covers segment represented 34% of our net sales.

Industry Trends and Outlook

Historically, demand for our products has been driven primarily by the volume of paper produced on a worldwide basis. We expect the growth of global paper production from 2011 to 2014 to be between 3 and
4% per annum. Generally, and over time, we expect growth in paper production to be greater in Asia-Pacific, South America and Eastern Europe than in the more mature North American and Western European regions. Between 2008, especially the latter
part of the year, and 2009, the global paper industry experienced a sharp reduction in production levels, caused by the general slowdown in economic activity and related paper consumption during the same period. In 2010, however, global paper and
board production began to recover, with growth estimated to have rebounded 5.7% in 2010, following a general recovery in global economic conditions. This growth was most prevalent in developing countries. We believe that our increase in net sales
volume in the first quarter of 2011 as compared with the first quarter of 2010 reflects this ongoing recovery, as well as the success of our new products.

The profitability of paper producers has historically been cyclical based on the price of paper, driven to a high degree by the periods when paper producers have more aggregate capacity than the market
requires. A sustained

##### Table of Contents

downturn in the paper industry, either globally or in a particular region, can cause paper manufacturers to reduce production or cease operations. Since 2000, paper producers have taken actions
that seek to structurally improve the balance between the geographical supply of and demand for paper. As part of these efforts, they have permanently shut down many paper-making machines or entire manufacturing facilities. Some papermakers continue
to experience low levels of profitability, and we believe that the industry will see further consolidation among papermakers. The reduction in the number of paper producers, and shutdowns of paper-making machines and facilities occurred largely in
Europe and North America, while producers moved operations to lower-cost regions such as Asia and South America, leading to better balance between supply and demand for paper. Over a number of years, consumption growth of paper, particularly in
South America and Asia-Pacific, is expected to drive an increase in the global production rates.

Global paper production
growth that does occur would be moderated by the level of industry consolidation and paper-machine shutdown activity that is a continuing underlying trend in North America and Europe. We also believe that, in addition to industry consolidation and
paper machine shutdown activity in North America and Europe, the trend towards new paper machine designs which have fewer rolls and market recognition of extended life of our roll cover products has and may continue to impact demand for these
products. Volume potential for the roll covers business may slowly diminish, but we feel that volume declines would be at least partially offset by our introduction of new products and increasing market share of proprietary products such as our
SmartRoll. Also affecting machine curtailments are structural productivity gains from improved products that we and our competitors supply. Additionally, we are seeing a trend that paper producers are placing an increasing emphasis on
maintenance cost reduction and, as a result, are extending the life of roll covers through additional maintenance cycles before replacing them.

Though an economic recovery appears to be underway, we believe that the paper industry will experience increased emphasis on cost reduction, continued paper-machine shutdown activity, and reduced
availability of credit than would have been the case in the absence of the economic downturn.

Net sales and Expenses

Net sales in both our clothing and roll covers segments are primarily driven by the following factors:



| |  |  | The volume of worldwide paper production;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Advances in the technology of our products, which can provide value to our customers by improving the efficiency of paper-making machines and reducing
manufacturing costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to provide products and services which reduce paper-making machine downtime, while at the same time allowing the manufacture of high
quality paper products; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The impact of currency fluctuations.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------

Net sales in our roll covers segment include our mechanical services business. We have expanded this business in response to demand from paper producers that we perform work on the internal mechanisms of
a roll while we refurbish or replace a roll cover. In our clothing segment, a small portion of our business has been conducted pursuant to consignment arrangements under which we do not recognize a sale of a product to a customer until the customer
places the product into use, which typically occurs some period after the product is shipped to the customer or to a warehouse location near the customers facility. We are striving to reduce the number of consignment arrangements and increase
the use of standard terms of sale under which we recognize a sale upon product shipment. We expect this effort to be successful over the next several years.

Our operating costs are primarily driven by total sales volume, the impact of inflation, foreign currency fluctuations and the level and impact of cost reduction programs.

The level of our cost of products sold is primarily attributable to labor costs, raw material costs, product shipping costs, plant
utilization and depreciation, with labor costs constituting the largest component. We invest in facilities and equipment that enable innovative product development and improve production efficiency and costs. Recent examples of capital spending for
such purposes include faster weaving looms and seaming machines with accurate electronic controls, automated compound mixing equipment and computer-controlled lathes and mills.

##### Table of Contents

The level of research and development spending is driven by market demand for technology
enhancements, including both specific customer needs and general market requirements, as well as by our own analysis of applied technology opportunities. With the exception of purchases of equipment and similar capital items used in our research and
development activities, all research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Foreign Exchange

We
have a geographically diverse customer base. In the first quarter of 2011, approximately 36% of our net sales was in North America, 34% was in Europe, 9% was in South America, 19% was in Asia-Pacific and 2% was in the rest of the world.

A substantial portion of our net sales is denominated in Euros or other currencies. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S.
Dollars, Euros and other currencies affect our reported levels of net sales and profitability as the results are translated into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, increases in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the value
of the Euro and these other currencies negatively impact our levels of revenue and profitability because the translation of a certain number of Euros or units of such other currencies into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting purposes will represent
fewer U.S. Dollars.

For certain transactions, our net sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars but all or a substantial portion
of the associated costs are denominated in a different currency. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. Dollars, Euros and other currencies can affect the level of the profitability of these transactions. The largest proportion of such
transactions consist of transactions in which the net sales are denominated in or indexed to U.S. Dollars and all or a substantial portion of the associated costs are denominated in Euros, Brazilian Reals or other currencies.

Currency fluctuations have a greater effect on the level of our net sales than on the level of our income (loss) from operations. For
example, in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, the change in the value of the U.S. Dollar against most of the currencies we conduct our business in resulted in net currency increases in net sales of $1.3 million
and net currency decreases in income from operations of $(0.5) million. Although the first quarter of 2011 results reflect a period in which the value of the U.S. Dollar increased against the Euro as compared to the first quarter of 2010, we
would expect an opposite effect in a period in which the value of the U.S. Dollar decreases.

During the first quarter of
2011, we conducted business in 9 foreign currencies. The following table provides the average exchange rate in the first quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2010 of the U.S. Dollar against each of the four foreign currencies in which we
conduct the largest portion of our operations.

In the first quarter of 2011, approximately 42% of our operations were conducted in Euros, approximately 8% in the Brazilian Real (although a significant portion of Brazil net sales are in U.S. Dollars)
and approximately 6% in the Canadian Dollar.

To mitigate the risk of transactions in which a sale is made in one currency and
associated costs are denominated in a different currency, we utilize forward currency contracts in certain circumstances to lock in exchange rates with the objective that the gain or loss on the forward contracts will approximate the loss or gain
that results from the transaction or transactions being hedged. We determine whether to enter into hedging arrangements based upon the size of the underlying transaction or transactions, an assessment of the risk of adverse movements in the
applicable currencies and the availability of a cost effective hedge strategy. To the extent we do not engage in hedging or such hedging is not effective, changes in the relative value of currencies can affect our profitability.

Due to reduced credit limits at some of our banks, we have been entering into fewer foreign
currency hedging arrangements than we had historically and may not be able to enter into as many hedging arrangements in the future. As a result, our financial statements are more exposed to the effects of currency fluctuations, both favorable and
unfavorable, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Chapter 11 Filing, Emergence and Plan of Reorganization

On March 30, 2010, we and certain of our subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, and on April 1, 2010, we entered into a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the DIP Facility) consisting of a $20 million revolving credit facility and $60
million term loan. On May 25, 2010 (the Effective Date), our amended joint prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Plan) became effective, at which time we emerged from chapter 11. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective
Date:



| |  |  | 20,000,000 shares of our new common stock, par value $0.001 (the New Common Stock), were authorized, of which an aggregate of 14,970,050
shares were issued and outstanding, as described below. In addition, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, were authorized, of which 20,000 shares were designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | All of the shares of our common stock then outstanding, par value $0.01 (the Old Common Stock), were cancelled and replaced with 2,566,150
shares of New Common Stock, which was equivalent to a 20-to-1 reverse split of our Old Common Stock;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lenders under our pre-petition credit facility and the interest rate swap termination counterparties received, among other things, their ratable
shares of (a) $10 million in cash, (b) $410 million in principal amount of term notes, to be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (defined below), and (c) 12,403,900 shares of New Common Stock;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Holders of our Old Common Stock also received four-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,663,760 shares of New Common Stock (the
Warrants) at an exercise price of $19.55 per share, representing approximately 0.0324108 Warrants for each share of Old Common Stock.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, we entered into a number of material agreements and engaged in a series of transactions on the Effective Date, including (i) the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility (ii) the Exit Facility (defined below), (iii) a Rights Agreement, (iv) a Registration Rights Agreement with certain of our stockholders, and (v) Director Nomination Agreements with certain of our
stockholders. See Credit Facilities for a discussion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Exit Facility.

Cost Reduction Programs

An important part of our strategy is to seek to reduce our overall costs and improve our competitiveness. As a part of this effort, we engage in cost reduction programs, which are designed to improve the
cost structure of our global operations in response to changing market conditions. These cost reduction programs include headcount reductions throughout the world, as well as plant closures that have rationalized production among our facilities to
better enable us to meet customer demands.

During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded restructuring and impairment
expenses of approximately $168,000. We expect to incur restructuring expenses of approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million in the aggregate during 2011, primarily related to the continuation of streamlining our operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $8.2 million, or 6.1%, to $143.2 million from
$135.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, 66% of our net sales were in our clothing segment and 34% were in our roll covers segment.

In our clothing segment, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $5.3 million, or 6.0%, to $93.9 million
from $88.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to increased sales volume in North America and Asia-Pacific and favorable currency effects of $1.1 million. These increases were partially offset by decreased sales
volume in Europe and South America and unfavorable mix and price changes of $1.1 million.

In our roll covers segment, net
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $2.9 million or 6.3%, to $49.3 million from $46.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily due to higher sales volume of $2.1 million in all
regions, improved price changes and product mix of $0.5 million and favorable currency effects of $0.2 million.

Cost of
Products Sold.Cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $6.0 million, or 7.2%, to $89.3 million from $83.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

In our clothing segment, cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 0.3% to 61.9% in the three months ended
March 31, 2011 from 61.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily a result of unfavorable product mix and higher freight costs.

In our roll covers segment, cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.3% to 64.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 63.1% in the three months ended
March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily a result of unfavorable product mix and higher material costs from petroleum-based products.

Selling Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, selling
expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 8.3%, to $19.5 million from $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to $0.8 million increase in salaries as a result of additional headcount, $0.4 million higher sales
commissions and unfavorable currency effects of $0.3 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three
months ended March 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased by $9.5 million, or 35.3%, to $17.4 million from $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to consulting, legal and
bank fees of $9.5 million that were incurred in 2010 relating to initiatives that were undertaken to resolve the companys credit issues in the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, salaries decreased by $0.7 million, mostly due
to a cash payment of $0.8 million to Mr. Light in 2010 with which he was obligated to purchase shares of common stock from us. These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable currency effects of $0.2 million and an increase in bad debt
expense of $0.8 million which was due to a credit in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of a change in estimating the bad debt reserve.

Restructuring and Impairments Expenses.For the three months ended March 31, 2011, restructuring and impairments expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or 87.5%, to $0.2 million from $1.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the most part, restructuring expenses 2011 and 2010 resulted from our long-term strategy to reduce production costs and improve long-term competitiveness as described above under Cost
Reduction Programs by closing and/or transferring production from certain of our manufacturing facilities and through headcount reductions. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, restructuring expenses included $0.5 million for cost
reduction programs offset by a $0.3 million gain due to the sale of the Sherbrooke, Canada facility.

Research and
Development Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 6.9%, to $3.1 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to
increased research and development efforts.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $5.7 million or 36.5%, to $9.9 million from $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to $1.2 million lower interest expense due to lower debt
balances under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility in 2010, $1.3 million lower amortization of deferred financing costs in 2011 and $3.2 million due to the interest rate swaps being fully amortized at December 31, 2010.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2011 we had a foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had a foreign exchange loss of $(0.4) million. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of hedging activities, intercompany activities and US Dollar denominated debt held by foreign
entities.

Reorganization Items. Reorganization items amounting to $14.4 million are presented separately in our
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and primarily represent expenses that we have identified as directly relating to the write off of certain deferred financing costs in connection with the chapter 11
proceedings in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had no reorganization expenses.

Provision for
Income Taxes.For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the provision for income taxes was $3.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the quarter ended
March 31, 2011 was principally due to increased income being earned in 2011 as compared with 2010 in the jurisdictions where we currently pay income taxes. We continue to incur net operating losses both domestically and in certain foreign
jurisdictions for which no corresponding tax benefits are recognized as the losses are fully reserved for financial accounting purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal liquidity requirements are for debt service, working capital and capital expenditures. We plan to use unrestricted cash on hand, cash generated by operations and, should it become necessary,
access to our revolving credit facility, as our primary sources of liquidity. Our operations are highly dependent upon the paper production industry and the degree to which the paper industry is affected by global economic conditions and the
availability of credit. Demand for our products could decline if paper manufacturers are unable to obtain required financing or if economic conditions cause additional mill closures. In addition, the impact of the most recent global economic
recession and the ensuing lack of availability of credit may affect our customers ability to pay their debts.

We regularly evaluate our debt arrangements, as well as market conditions, and from time to
time may explore opportunities to modify our existing debt arrangements or pursue additional debt financing arrangements that could result in the issuance of new debt securities by us in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
complete any such alternative financing arrangements or other transactions or that the terms of any financing transactions would be more favorable to us than our existing debt financing arrangements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $5.0 million decrease is due to an increase in working capital, partially offset by improved cash earnings from the three months ended March 31, 2010 to the three
months ended March 31, 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of $0.1 million was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, primarily offset by a $1.7 million increase in
capital equipment expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $3.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of $1.1 million was primarily the result of an increase in net principal payments on debt of $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the three months ended March 31, 2010,
partially offset by higher deferred financing costs of $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

As of
March 31, 2011, there was a $483.2 million balance of term loans outstanding under our senior credit facility, In addition, as of March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under our current revolving lines of credit, including the
revolving credit facility under our senior credit facility and lines of credit in various foreign countries that are used to facilitate local short-term operating needs. An aggregate of $26.4 million is available for additional borrowings under
these revolving lines of credit. We had cash and cash equivalents of $32.8 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $38.7 million at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011 we also had $14.0 million of restricted cash which is classified as
a current asset. The restricted cash serves as collateral for letters of credit and no letter of credit has a maturity greater than one year, although certain of these letters of credit can be renewed for another year. The cash collateral is held in
custody by the issuing bank, is restricted as to withdrawal or use and is currently invested in money market funds. Income from these funds is paid to us.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

For the three months ended March 31,
2011, we had capital expenditures of $4.2 million consisting of growth capital expenditures of $0.7 million and maintenance capital expenditures of $3.5 million. Growth capital expenditures consist of items that are intended to increase the
manufacturing, production and/or distribution capacity or efficiencies of our operations in conjunction with the execution of our business strategies. Maintenance capital expenditures are designed to sustain the current capacity or efficiency of our
operations and include items relating to the renovation of existing manufacturing or service facilities, the purchase of machinery and equipment for safety and environmental needs and information technology. For the three months ended March 31,
2010, we had capital expenditures of $2.5 million consisting of growth capital expenditures of $0.4 million and maintenance capital expenditures of $2.1 million.

We target capital expenditures for 2011 to be approximately $32.3 million. We analyze our planned capital expenditures based on investment opportunities available to us and our financial and operating
performance, and accordingly, actual capital expenditures may be more or less than this amount.

See Credit
Facilities below for a description on limitations on capital expenditures imposed by our Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Exit Facility.

CREDIT FACILITIES

Amended and Restated Credit Facility

Pursuant to the Plan, on the
Effective Date, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Facility), dated as of May 25, 2010 by and among us, certain subsidiaries of ours, Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. as Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and other agents and banks party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for a term loan that has a principal amount of $410 million, and a maturity date that is five years following
May 25, 2010, the closing date of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The $410 million is denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Canadian Dollars representing approximately 56%, 32% and 12% of this amount, respectively, at the Effective
Date. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by second priority liens against, and security interests in, substantially all of our assets and the assets of most of our subsidiaries, subject to legal and tax considerations and
requirements. In addition, most of our U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, provided that non-U.S. guarantors will only be liable for obligations of non-U.S
borrowers and non-U.S. guarantors.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility term loans bear interest as
follows:



| |  |  | in the case of Xerium Canada Inc., at the CDOR (Canadian dollar) Rate plus (i) 6.25% if the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00
or (ii) 5.75% if the leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of Xerium Technologies, Inc. the LIBOR Rate plus (i) 6.25% if the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00 or (ii) 5.75% if the
leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in the case of XTI LLC, Xerium Italia S.p.A., Huyck Wangner Austria GmbH and Xerium Germany Holding GmbH, at the Euribor Rate plus (i) 6.25% if
the leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.75:1.00 or (ii) 5.75 % if the leverage ratio is less than 2.75:1.00.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The terms CDOR Rate, LIBOR Rate, and Euribor Rate have the same meanings as set forth in the our pre-petition credit facility except that the CDOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate
and the Euribor Rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum. Interest periods will be 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, then interest on the unpaid balance of the outstanding term loans will accrue at a per
annum rate of two percent greater than the rate of interest specified above.

The Amended and Restated Credit facility
provides that we will make scheduled principal payments totaling approximately $2.0 million each quarter through May 2015.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires us to make mandatory prepayments under the following circumstances, subject to
intercreditor sharing arrangements with the lenders under the Exit Facility:

(a) with 100% of the net cash proceeds we receive
from any sale of any assets (50% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of assets belonging to our Australian and Vietnamese subsidiaries) for any transaction or series of transactions exceeding $250,000 outside the ordinary course of business
(subject to certain exceptions regarding discontinued manufacturing facilities and exempting the first $3 million if invested in other assets, except for the sale of assets belonging to our Australian and Vietnamese subsidiaries);

(b) with 100% of insurance and condemnation award payments, subject to certain exemptions;

(c) with 100% of the cash proceeds from debt issuances, subject to certain exemptions; and

(d) with 50% of our excess cash after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year 2011; that is, Adjusted EBITDA plus a
working capital adjustment, minus consolidated interest expense, cash income tax expense, consolidated capital expenditures (subject to certain exceptions), consolidated restructuring costs, cash payments of withholding taxes from proceeds of the
repurchase, redemption or retention of common stock and the aggregate amount of scheduled and voluntary payments made during the past fiscal year.

For the four fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2011 our interest coverage ratio was 2.99:1 and our leverage ratio was 4.11:1. Each of these covenants is calculated at the end of each quarter, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and is based on
a rolling twelve month period. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense, net of mark-to-market movements on hedging instruments and amortization of deferred financing costs. The leverage ratio is
calculated by dividing our total gross debt, at average currency exchange rates for the last twelve months, by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility defines consolidated capital expenditures for a particular fiscal year as all expenditures
required under GAAP to be included in purchase of property and equipment or similar items included in our cash flow. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility limits our consolidated capital expenditures to (i) in 2011, an amount not
exceeding $38.1 million, which includes the original limit of $33.4 million and an additional $4.7 million in amounts carried over from 2010 as permitted by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, (ii) $33.8 million for fiscal year 2012, and
(iii) $33.1 million for each of fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, in each case, exclusive of capital expenditures paid with net insurance and condemnation proceeds, provided that the maximum amount of consolidated capital expenditures permitted
in each fiscal year shall be increased by 50% of the amount below the maximum not spent in the prior fiscal year (determined without reference to any carryover amount).

Exit Facility

On the Effective Date, the DIP Facility was converted
into an exit facility consisting of a $20 million revolving credit facility and a $60 million term loan (collectively, the Exit Facility) that was used to satisfy our obligations under the Plan and for ongoing working capital (including
letters of credit) requirements. The revolving credit facility matures May 25, 2013, the closing date of the Exit Facility, and the term loans mature November 25, 2014. The Exit Facility is secured by first priority liens against, and
security interests in, substantially all of our assets and the assets of most of our subsidiaries, subject to legal and tax considerations and requirements. All loans under the Exit Facility are senior to the amounts owing under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility. In addition, most of our U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Exit Facility, provided that non-U.S. guarantors will only be liable for obligations of non-U.S borrowers and
non-U.S. guarantors.

The loans under the Exit Facility are LIBOR Loans and bear interest at the annual rate equal
to LIBOR plus the applicable margin, 4.5% per year, with a LIBOR floor of 2% per annum. Interest periods will be 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, then interest on the unpaid balance of the outstanding
Exit Facility loans will accrue at a per annum rate of two percent greater than the rate of interest specified above. If any event of default occurs and is continuing under the Exit Facility, each LIBOR Loan will convert to an ABR Loan at the end of
the interest period then in effect for such LIBOR Loan.

The Exit Facility provides that we will make scheduled principal
payments totaling approximately $0.15 million each quarter through September 2014.

##### Table of Contents

The Exit Facility requires us to make mandatory prepayments under the same circumstances as
with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which are described above. In addition, with limited exceptions, the Exit Facility requires that we observe and perform the same affirmative and negative covenants, including financial
covenants, as required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, the Exit Facility
and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility provide for scheduled principal payments, to be made on a quarterly basis, in the aggregate amount of approximately $38.1 million over the remaining term of the facilities as outlined below. Additionally,
balloon payments of approximately $57.3 million and $387.8 million are due at the maturity date of the term loans under the Exit Facility in November 2014 and at the maturity date of the term loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility in
May 2015, respectively, assuming no prior voluntary or mandatory payments have been made. The aggregate scheduled quarterly principal payments over the term of the facilities are shown below:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

##### Table of Contents

Our significant policies are described in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. There have been no material changes to the
critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) as supplementary non-GAAP liquidity measures to assist us in evaluating our liquidity and financial performance, specifically our ability to service indebtedness and to fund ongoing capital expenditures.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility includes covenants based on Adjusted EBITDA. If our Adjusted EBITDA declines below certain levels, we may violate the covenants resulting in a default condition under the credit facility or be required to
prepay the credit facility. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income (loss) from operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation (including non-cash
impairment charges) and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility as the total of
(A) Consolidated Net Income, as defined below, plus (B), without duplication, to the extent that any of the following were deducted in computing consolidated net income: (i) provision for taxes based on income or profits,
(ii) consolidated interest expense, (iii) consolidated depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) reserves for inventory in connection with plant closures, (v) consolidated operational restructuring costs, not to exceed $6
million in fiscal year 2011, and $5 million in any of the 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 fiscal years, (vi) consolidated financial restructuring costs incurred in connection with the reorganization (vii) non-cash charges or gains resulting from
the application of purchase accounting, including push-down accounting, (viii) non-cash expenses resulting from the granting of common stock, stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards under equity compensation programs
solely with respect to common stock, and cash expenses for compensation mandatorily applied to purchase common stock, (ix) non-cash items related to a change in or adoption of accounting policies, (x) expenses incurred as a result of the
repurchase, redemption or retention by us of common stock earned under equity compensation programs solely in order to make withholding tax payments, and (xi) amortization or write-offs of deferred financing costs, minus (C) without
duplication, to the extent any of the following were included in computing consolidated net income for such period, (i) non-cash gains with respect to the items described in clauses (vii), (viii) and (ix) of clause (B) above and
(ii) provisions for tax benefits based on income or profits. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility and calculated below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements used by other companies.

Consolidated Net Income is defined as net income (loss) determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided,
however, that the following, without duplication, shall be excluded in determining Consolidated Net Income: (i) any net after-tax extraordinary or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses (less all fees and expenses relating thereto),
(ii) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, (iii) any fees and expenses incurred during such period in connection with the issuance or repayment of indebtedness, any refinancing transaction or amendment or modification
of any debt instrument, in each case, as permitted under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and (iv) any gains resulting from the returned surplus assets of any pension plan.

The following table provides reconciliation from net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Our foreign currency exposure and interest rate risks as of March 31, 2011 have not materially changed from December 31, 2010 (see Item 7A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010).



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of March 31, 2011 under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. No evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that these controls and procedures will operate effectively under all circumstances. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as
set forth above.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.No change in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The risks
described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 have not materially changed, except for the risk factor included below:

Energy price increases may negatively impact our results of operations.

Certain of the components that we use in our manufacturing activities are petroleum-based. In addition, we, along with our suppliers and customers, rely on various energy sources (including oil) in our
transportation activities. While significant uncertainty currently exists about the future levels of energy prices, a significant increase is possible. Increased energy prices could cause an increase to our raw material costs and transportation
costs. In addition, increased transportation costs of certain of our suppliers could be passed along to us. We may not be able to increase our prices enough to offset these increased costs. In addition, any increase in our prices may reduce our
future customer orders and profitability.
