Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Benefits Committee
Twin Disc, Incorporated - The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan
Racine, Wisconsin


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Twin Disc, Incorporated - The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2011 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2011 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements



Note 1

Plan Description
The following brief description of the Twin Disc, Incorporated – The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan, established April 1, 1986, is a defined-contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

Eligibility and Participation

Substantially all domestic employees of Twin Disc, Incorporated, (“the Company”) are eligible to participate in the plan after completing two months of employment.

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute up to 100% of annual gross income with contributions limited under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
For participants who are employed by Twin Disc, Inc., the Company contributes an amount equal to a percentage of each participant’s 401(k) contributions, up to 6% of compensation.  The contribution percentages for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 50%.  For participants who are employed by the Twin Disc South East subsidiary, the Company contributes a matching contribution equal to 25% of each participant’s 401(k) contributions, up to 6% of compensation, and a profit sharing contribution equal to 2.5% of each participant’s compensation.  Participants may contribute to the plan via wage deferrals.  The annual maximum contribution is limited by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). In addition, participants may contribute distributions from other qualified plans (“rollovers”).
 
Participants allocate their contributions and account balances among various investment options offered by the Plan.  Assets of the Plan are segregated and invested based upon the total allocation of the participants’ accounts.  Participants may direct such allocations in any whole percentage increment and allocations can be changed at any time.

Plan Description (Continued)

Withdrawals

After-tax contributions may be withdrawn at any time upon receipt of written notice by the Trustee.  Pre-tax and Roth contributions may only be withdrawn, prior to employment termination, in the event of severe financial hardship or once annually upon attainment of age 59½.  A final distribution is paid to the participant upon termination of employment with the Company. Final distributions in excess of $5,000 may be deferred as elected by the participant until age 70½.

Participant Accounts

The Trustee of the Plan is T. Rowe Price Trust Company, and the recordkeeping services for the Plan are provided by T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”).   T. Rowe Price maintains individual accounts for each participant for their respective investment in each of twenty-four available investment funds.  For all investment programs which are mutual funds or collective trust funds, participant balances are maintained on a share or unit method, as appropriate.  Participant investments in the Twin Disc, Inc. Stock were accounted for on a share method.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may be granted a loan against their individual account balance limited to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the account balance.  Loans are granted in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner based on the loan policy as set forth by the Benefits Committee.  The note proceeds are made pro-rata from the investment elections of the participant.  Each participant's individual account and the interest and principal paid on the loan shall be credited only to such participant's account balance.  Any such note shall be repaid over a period not exceeding five years unless the loan is used to purchase a principal residence, in which case the loan shall be repaid over a period not exceeding fifteen years.

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes are treated as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.

Funding Policy

The Company remits participant elective contributions as soon as practical after participants’ contributions have been withheld from the participant wages.  The Company’s matching contribution and profit sharing is remitted to the Plan on a per payroll basis.

Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires investment contract held by a defined contribution plan to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  The Plan invests in investment contracts through a common collective trust. Contract value for this common collective trust is based on the net asset value as reported by the investment advisor.  The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contract as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract from fair value to contract value.  The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments are stated at fair value, with investments in fully benefit-responsive contracts adjusted to contract value.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are recorded in the accompanying financial statements as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that directly affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and are subject to change in the near term.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are loan processing fees charged directly to the account of the participant to whom the loan is made.  Any remaining administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company at its discretion.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards” (“ASU 2011-04”), which was issued to create a consistent framework for the application of fair value measurement across jurisdictions.  The amendments include wording changes to GAAP in order to clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements, as well as to change a particular principle or existing requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements.  There are no additional fair value measurements required upon the adoption of ASU 2011-04.  The amendments are effective, prospectively, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Plan will adopt the provisions of ASU 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012.  The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Plan.


Note 3

Fair Value Measurements

A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

Level 2
Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
·  
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
·  
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
·  
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
·  
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Notes to Financial Statements



Note 3

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Level 3
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

Mutual funds:  Valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) based on the underlying fair value of the net assets owned by the fund.  The NAV is a quoted price in an active market.

Common Stock:  Valued using quoted market price on nationally recognized security exchanges.

Common collective trust:  T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund (“Fund”) is valued by discounting the scheduled future payments required under the contract using an interpolated market rate for contracts with maturities comparable to the average remaining life of the contract being valued.  Fair value reflects interest accrued on the contract, assuming the contract is held to maturity and, therefore, not subject to any adjustments that could be assessed by the issuer for certain types of withdrawals or early surrender by the trust.  The fair value of wrap contracts reflects the discounted present value of the difference between the current wrap contract cost and its replacement cost, based on issuer quotes.  Market value events may limit the ability of the Fund to transact at contract value.

The beneficial interest of each participant is represented by units. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the stable value funds constant net asset value (NAV).   Distribution to the Fund’s unit holders is declared daily from the net investment income and automatically reinvested in the Fund on a monthly basis, when paid. It is the policy of the Fund to use its best efforts to maintain the stable NAV per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this value.

Note 3

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair value. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 5


Stable Value Fund

The Fund invests primarily in conventional guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts issued by life insurance companies, banks, and other financial institutions, with the objective of providing a high level of return that is consistent with also providing stability of investment return, preservation of capital, and liquidity to pay plan benefits of its retirement plan investors.

Participants ordinarily may direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the Fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The Fund imposes certain restrictions on the Plan, and the Fund itself may be subject to circumstances that impact its ability to transact at contract value. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Fund to transact at less than contract value is remote.

The average yields of the Fund for the years ended December 31, were as follows:

(1) The stable value fund strategies seek to maximize current income while maintaining invested principal. The Plan is required to give notice one day in advance of a partial or total liquidation of the investment for any purpose other than for benefit payments, participant-directed investment transfers and payment of administrative fees. The Plan administrator is also required to give a 30-day notice of the liquidation of the Fund due to the termination of the Plan.


Note 6


Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to discontinue contributions and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.


Note 7

Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined by a letter dated June 19, 2012, that the Plan was designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).  The Plan administrator believes the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.  Accordingly, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is exempt from federal and state income taxes.  Plan management evaluates uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions and there are currently no audits in progress.  The Plan administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

The Plan’s investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.


Note 9

Party-In-Interest Transactions

The Plan holds shares of mutual funds and units in a common collective trust managed by an affiliate of the plan trustee.  The Plan also invests in the common stock of the Company and issues notes receivable to participants.  These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  These transactions are not considered prohibited transactions under 29 CFR 480(b) of the ERISA regulations.
