Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business — John Bean Technologies Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“JBT Corporation” or “we”) provide global technology solutions 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 manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers.

Basis of Presentation— The preceding condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, together with the notes thereto (the “statements”), of JBT Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.

Reclassifications— Certain amounts in prior years’ financial information have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements— In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance that will simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. After assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) becomes optional. The guidance is effective January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The company will elect to adopt this guidance for the 2011 goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter.

In January 2011, the FASB temporarily deferred the disclosures regarding troubled debt restructurings which were included in the disclosure requirements concerning the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses which were issued in July 2010. In April 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance and clarifications to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance and the previously deferred disclosures became effective July 1, 2011 applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011. Prospective application is required for any new impairments identified as a result of this guidance. These changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

(In millions)	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Raw materials	$	81.4		$	65.8

Note 4: Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense was $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $4.2 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we granted the following restricted stock awards:

				Weighted Average
	Shares			Grant Date Fair Value
Time-based		177,946
Performance-based		185,582	*
Granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011		363,528		$	18.63

* Assumes target payout

We granted time-based restricted stock awards 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 awards with performance-based conditions. The vesting period for these awards is three years.

For current year performance-based awards, actual payouts may vary from zero to 371,164 shares and will be dependent upon our performance relative to prior year with respect to growth in earnings and net contribution (which is an economic value added measure calculated by determining the amount by which our net income from continuing operations, after adding back interest expense, exceeds our cost of capital) for the year ending December 31, 2011. Compensation cost is measured based on the current expected outcome of the performance conditions and may be adjusted until the performance period ends.

Note 5: Stockholders’ Equity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 0.5 million shares were issued in connection with our stock-based compensation plan. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 0.6 million shares were issued.

Comprehensive income consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
(In millions)	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net income	$	8.1		$	9.4		$	23.3		$	21.5

Comprehensive income	$	(4.6	)	$	21.0		$	17.8		$	23.7

Note 6: 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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations for the respective periods and our basic and dilutive shares outstanding:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Note 7: Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

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 made in the normal course of business. We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years. As of September 30, 2011, we held forward exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of $393.1 million. Many of our sales and purchase contracts are written contemplating this risk and therefore contain embedded derivatives, which we take into consideration as part of our risk management policy.

During 2010 and through January 31, 2011, we had an interest rate swap that fixed the annual interest rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility at 4.9%. For the period prior to January 30, 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 rate on $25 million of our borrowings.

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.

With the exception of the interest rate swap and certain foreign exchange derivatives entered into prior to our spin-off in July 2008, we do not apply hedge accounting. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. 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) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings, depending on whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge. Cash flows from derivatives are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments included within the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

	As of September 30, 2011				As of December 31, 2010
(In millions)	Asset Derivatives (1)		Liability Derivatives (2)		Asset Derivatives (1)		Liability Derivatives (2)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded in other income, net an immaterial amount of ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges.

As of September 30, 2011, we do not expect to reclassify a significant amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings within the next 12 months. All forecasted transactions are expected to occur by 2013.

The following table presents the location in the consolidated statements of income of the gain (loss) recognized on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

Refer to Note 8: Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a description of how the above financial instruments are valued.

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 collectability assessments.

Note 8: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels 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.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

	As of September 30, 2011								As of December 31, 2010
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Investments	$	9.7	$	9.7	$	-	$	-	$	9.9	$	9.9	$	-	$	-
Derivatives		5.8		-		5.8		-		11.9		-		11.9		-
Total assets	$	15.5	$	9.7	$	5.8	$	-	$	21.8	$	9.9	$	11.9	$	-
Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	7.8	$	-	$	7.8	$	-	$	8.8	$	-	$	8.8	$	-

Investments are classified as trading securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Investments are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, investments include an unrealized loss of $0.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2010, investments include an unrealized gain of $1.0 million. We use the income approach as the valuation technique 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.

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 carrying values and the estimated fair values of our debt financial instruments are summarized in the table below:

	As of September 30, 2011				As of December 31, 2010
(In millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
6.66% senior unsecured notes due July 31, 2015	$	75.0	$	84.0	$	75.0	$	84.8
Revolving credit facility, due 2013		58.8		58.8		68.7		68.7
4.5% Brazilian Real loan due December 31, 2012		1.8		1.7		3.2		2.8
Other		0.6		0.6		0.2		0.2

There is no active or observable market for our senior unsecured notes or our Brazilian Real loan. Therefore, the estimated fair values 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 estimates of the all-in interest rates 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 9: 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.

In connection with our spin-off from FMC Technologies, Inc. in 2008, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement with FMC Technologies, Inc. (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”). Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we have assumed liabilities related to specified legal proceedings arising from our business prior to the spin-off. As a result, although FMC Technologies, Inc. will in many cases remain the named defendant, we will manage the litigation and indemnify FMC Technologies, Inc. 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 business, results of operations or financial condition.

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 $93.0 million at September 30, 2011, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided approximately $6.4 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 September 30, 2011, the maximum future payment obligation of such guarantees was $1.9 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 warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated 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:

Total revenue increased by $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue was driven by $8.2 million of higher product sales in the JBT AeroTech segment and $6.9 million of higher revenue due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Operating income decreased by $2.2 million, or $2.7 million in constant currency, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, while operating income margin decreased from 7.6% to 6.2%. The decrease in operating income resulted from the following:

Gross profit increased by $1.0 million. However, excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, gross profit decreased by $1.1 million. A decrease in gross profit margin due to higher costs in the JBT FoodTech segment resulted in $2.9 million of lower gross profit but was partially offset by $1.8 million of higher gross profit from higher sales volume.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $1.8 million or by $0.5 million in constant currency. Selling expense increased by $0.5 million as a result of higher marketing expenditures. General and administrative expense remained relatively flat as $1.5 million of higher costs due to higher wages were offset by lower expense related to a non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Other expense (income), net was unfavorable by $1.4 million primarily as a result of losses on investments related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The losses on the investments offset the decrease in deferred compensation expense reported in selling, general and administrative expense.

Net interest expense was $0.5 million lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of lower debt level and lower interest rates.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2011 reflects an effective income tax rate for the full year of 35.6% compared to 36.0% in the same period in 2010. The difference in the rate is primarily attributable to higher anticipated earnings in lower tax jurisdictions relative to the prior year.

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.

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech’s revenue increased by $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. However, excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $6.4 million, revenue decreased by $1.7 million. Lower sales of freezing equipment in North America resulted in $8.9 million of lower revenue but were partially offset by higher sales of fruit processing equipment and aftermarket parts and services.

JBT FoodTech’s operating profit decreased by $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Operating profit margin decreased from 9.5% to 6.3% primarily as a result of lower gross profit margin. Gross profit margin declined primarily due to a combination of higher costs resulting from a stronger Swedish Krona and higher costs in the fruit processing business, and resulted in $3.1 million of lower operating profit. We have historically exported the majority of our freezing and chilling products out of Sweden. However, we are expanding our production capabilities in the U.S. and China to gain production flexibility and lower costs. Additionally, lower sales volume resulted in $0.5 million of lower operating profit.

JBT AeroTech

JBT AeroTech’s revenue increased by $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of improved market conditions and conversion of strong backlog of orders from previous periods into revenue. Revenue from sales of ground support equipment products and automated guided systems increased by $5.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

JBT AeroTech’s operating profit increased by $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Operating profit margin increased from 7.1% to 8.8% as a result of higher sales volume and higher gross profit margin. Higher sales volume resulted in $2.1 million of higher operating profit. Improved gross profit margins across most product lines resulted in $2.0 million of higher operating profit. Gross profit margin improved most notably in gate equipment products due to a favorable mix of products, while gross profit margin decreased most notably in airport services due to continued competitive pricing pressure. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by $0.3 million of higher selling expense as a result of higher marketing expenditures and $1.1 million of higher general and administrative costs due to higher compensation costs.

Corporate Items

Corporate items increased by $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in corporate items was driven by $0.3 million of higher LIFO charges due to an expected increase in annualized inventory cost inflation, $0.3 million of higher healthcare costs and $0.3 million higher costs incurred for margin improvement initatives. A decrease in interest expense partially offset the increase in corporate items.

Total revenue increased by $90.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue was driven by $51.2 million of higher product sales primarily in the JBT AeroTech segment, $11.7 million of higher aftermarket parts and services sales and $25.7 million of higher revenue due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Operating income increased by $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, while operating income margin decreased from 6.5% to 6.0%. The increase in operating income resulted from the following:

Gross profit increased by $10.7 million. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher sales volume, which resulted in an increase in gross profit of $17.2 million. This increase was partially offset by $13.5 million of lower profit due to lower gross profit margin, which resulted from the strengthening of the Swedish Krona and an unfavorable mix of products sold as compared to the same period in the prior year. The remaining difference was due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.7 million, but only by $2.5 million in constant currencies, and decreased as a percentage of revenue from 18.0% to 16.6%.

Research and development expense increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to expenditures on developing new gate equipment products.

Net interest expense was $1.0 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of a lower overall interest rate on our variable rate debt. During the periods prior to January 30, 2011, we had an interest rate swap that fixed the interest rate on $25 million of borrowings under our credit facility at 4.9%. We currently do not hold any interest rate swaps.

Income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects an effective income tax rate for the full year of 35.6% compared to 36.0% in the same period in 2010. The difference in the rate is primarily attributable to higher anticipated earnings in lower tax jurisdictions relative to the prior year.

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech’s revenue increased by $28.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $23.6 million, revenue increased by $5.2 million. Revenue increased by $13.5 million due to shipments of several large orders of tomato and fruit processing products, while higher sales of aftermarket parts and services resulted in $7.8 million of higher revenue. These increases were mostly offset primarily by lower sales of freezing and chilling products and protein processing products in North America.

JBT FoodTech’s operating profit decreased by $7.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Operating profit margins decreased from 9.8% to 7.1% as a result of lower gross profit margin and higher selling, general and administrative costs. Higher sales volume resulted in $1.6 million of higher operating profit but was more than offset by a decrease in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin declined due to an unfavorable mix of products sold compared to the same period in the prior year and the strengthening of the Swedish Krona, resulting in $9.9 million of lower operating profit. We have historically exported the majority of our freezing and chilling products out of Sweden. However, we are expanding our production capabilities in the U.S. and China to gain production flexibility and lower costs. Additionally, selling costs increased by $1.0 million due to higher costs associated with sales in emerging markets, while general and administrative costs increased by $0.8 million as a result of our initiative to align general and administrative support in the right geographic regions. The remaining difference was primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

JBT AeroTech

JBT AeroTech’s revenue increased by $61.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of improved market conditions and the conversion of the strong year-end 2010 order backlog into revenue. Revenue from gate equipment products, ground support equipment products and automated systems increased by $27.6 million, $17.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

JBT AeroTech’s operating profit increased by $9.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Operating profit margin increased from 6.6% to 8.3% as a result of better leverage of fixed costs. Higher sales volume resulted in an increase in profit of $12.3 million. Gross profit margin remained relatively unchanged. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by $0.9 million of higher selling costs driven by higher marketing expenditures, $1.2 million of higher general and administrative costs and $0.9 million of higher development costs related to new gate equipment products.

Corporate Items

Corporate items decreased by $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was driven primarily by higher gains on foreign currency transactions and lower interest expense.

Inbound Orders and Order Backlog

Inbound orders represent the estimated sales value of confirmed customer orders received during the reporting period.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
(In millions)	2011		2010		2011		2010

Total inbound orders	$	211.8	$	239.5	$	708.1	$	724.9

Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled, confirmed customer orders at the reporting date.

(In millions)	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010		September 30, 2010
JBT FoodTech	$	127.6	$	103.4	$	116.9
JBT AeroTech		183.0		183.4		225.4
Total order backlog	$	310.6	$	286.8	$	342.3

As of September 30, 2011, JBT FoodTech’s order backlog increased by $24.2 million since year-end 2010, reflecting historically higher new equipment sales in the fourth quarter as compared to the first quarter. The increase in backlog was driven by orders for our freezing and chilling products and protein processing products from customers primarily in the poultry industry in all regions, which resulted in $22.0 million of higher backlog, and by orders for our in-container processing equipment, which resulted in $10.3 million of higher backlog. JBT FoodTech’s order backlog increased by $10.7 million since September 30, 2010 primarily due to orders for our in-container processing equipment and fruit processing equipment. However, we are experiencing order delays in certain of our markets. We are concerned with this unfavorable trend and are developing cost reduction contingency plans, including restructuring options that may result in a material yearend charge.

As of September 30, 2011, JBT AeroTech’s order backlog decreased by $0.4 million since December 31, 2010 and by $42.4 million since September 30, 2010. Both decreases were driven by lower orders of gate equipment products and an unfavorable comparison of large orders. Backlog of orders for gate equipment products declined by $17.2 million since December 31, 2010 and by $36.2 million since September 30, 2010. The unfavorable comparison of backlog is driven by receipt of five large orders totaling $43 million in the third quarter of 2010. However, backlog of orders for ground support equipment products increased by $16.2 million since December 31, 2010.

Outlook

Based on year-to-date performance, continued JBT FoodTech operating margin compression and softening inbound order activity in JBT FoodTech, we project our 2011 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.30 to $1.36.

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 credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, 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.

On October 27, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30 million of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2014. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors.

Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(In millions)	2011			2010
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	44.2		$	6.0
Cash required by investing activities		(16.0	)		(12.9	)
Cash (required) provided by financing activities		(20.2	)		4.8
Cash required by discontinued operations		(0.4	)		(0.1	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(1.2	)		0.3
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	6.4		$	(1.9	)

Cash flows provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $44.2 million, representing a $38.2 million increase from the same period in 2010. The change in the cash flows is primarily attributable to an improvement in working capital. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 were significantly higher than in the same quarter in 2009, which resulted in $56.1 million of higher trade receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we collected a majority of these receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 we contributed $8.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively, to the U.S. pension and other postretirement plans.

Cash flows required by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $16.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, primarily consisting of amounts required to fund capital expenditures. Much of our spending supports the maintenance and upgrading of our installed base of leased equipment and operating facilities.

Cash flows required by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $20.2 million compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $4.8 million in the same period in 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reduced our debt by $10.7 million compared to an increase in debt of $12.7 million in the same period in 2010. Tax withheld on restricted stock granted in the year of our spin-off from FMC Technologies, Inc. and vested in 2011 was $1.3 million higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Financing Arrangements

We have a $225 million revolving credit facility that expires on July 31, 2013. 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 the 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. As of September 30, 2011, we had $58.8 million drawn on the credit facility, $12.3 million in letters of credit issued under the credit facility and $153.9 million of additional available funds.

We have $75 million of 6.66% senior unsecured notes. 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, a requirement to repay our borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants of our credit agreement and notes as shown in the following table:

Debt Instrument / Covenant		Measurement	Result as of September 30, 2011
Revolving credit facility
	Interest coverage ratio (1)	Not less than 3.5	14.3
	Leverage ratio (2)	Not greater than 3.0	1.4
	Capital expenditures (3)	Not greater than $33 million	$15.2 million
	Dividends paid	Not greater than $20 million	$6.4 million
6.66% senior unsecured notes
	Interest coverage ratio (1)	Not less than 2.75	14.3
	Leverage ratio (2)	Not greater than 3.25	1.4

(1)

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 percent 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 facilities. Additionally, it is possible we may spend up to $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 on construction of a new JBT FoodTech plant in Lakeland, Florida to replace our existing plant in the same area. We anticipate spending a total of $16 million to $19 million on the new facility and expect it to be operational by mid-2013.

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 facility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

John Bean Technologies Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 3, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
