Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Timken Company, Administrator of

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Hourly Pension Investment Plan as of June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the period from January 1, 2012 to June 29, 2012. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the period from January 1, 2012 to June 29, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and

Six Months Ended June 29, 2012

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of The Hourly Pension Investment Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to their Total Rewards handbook (Summary Plan Description) for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Copies of the handbook are available from The Timken Company (Timken, the Company, and Plan Administrator).

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering nonbargaining hourly employees of the Company’s manufacturing facilities located in Canton, Ohio; Bucyrus, Ohio; Lincolnton, North Carolina; and Gaffney, South Carolina and employees working as Brickmasons at any Ohio facility. Employees of the Company become eligible to participate in the Plan the first of the month following the completion of one full calendar month of full-time service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Plan Merger

Effective June 29, 2012, the assets and liabilities of the Plan were transferred to and merged into The Timken Company Savings and Investment Pension Plan. The net assets transferred out of the Plan are reflected on the June 29, 2012 statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as a transfer out to The Timken Company Savings and Investment Plan.

Contributions

Under the provisions of the Plan, participants may elect to contribute up to 20% of their gross earnings directly to the Plan subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations. Participants may also roll over amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Company matches employee contributions, “Matching Contributions,” at an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of the participant’s gross earnings and 50% of the excess of 3% up to the next 3% of the participant’s gross earnings.

The Plan provides for a quarterly “Core Contribution” by the Company for employees who did not have five years of Continuous Service and 50 points (in Continuous Service and age) as of December 31, 2003. This contribution is based on the participant’s full years of service and age as of December 31 of the previous calendar year. Core Contribution amounts range from 1.0% to 4.5% of the participant’s eligible compensation.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Upon enrollment, a participant must direct the percentage of his or her contribution to be invested in each fund in increments of 1%. If a participant fails to make a deferral election, he/she will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a 3% deferral rate.

Effective April 15, 2010, any employee hired prior to 2007 who had not enrolled as a participant in the Plan as of February 22, 2010; and any employee hired after 2006 who, prior to February 22, 2010, had elected not to participate in the Plan, were automatically enrolled in the Plan at a 3% deferral rate. If the participant makes no further changes to his/her deferral rate, then each year following the year in which the participant was automatically enrolled in the Plan the participant’s deferral rate will be increased by 1% until a deferral rate of 6% has been attained. All Matching Contributions are made in Timken common shares.

Participants are not allowed to direct the investment of the Matching Contributions made in Timken common shares until (i) attaining age 55, (ii) the third anniversary of the date on which such participant is hired, (iii) the date such participant obtains three years of Continuous Service, or (iv) following retirement. Core Contributions are invested based on the participant’s investment election. If a participant fails to make investment elections, his/her deferrals will default to an appropriate Vanguard Target Retirement Fund, based on the participant’s age.

Participants have access to their account information and the ability to make account transfers and contribution changes daily through an automated telecommunications system and through the Internet.

Participants may elect to have their dividends in The Timken Company Common Stock Fund distributed to them in cash rather than automatically reinvested in Timken common shares.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings, and is charged administrative expenses, as appropriate. Plan earnings are allocated based on the participant’s share of net earnings or losses of their respective elected investment options. Allocations of administrative expenses are based on the participant’s account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and Matching Contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participants vest in the Core Contributions after the completion of three years of service.

Forfeitures

Under the provisions of the Plan, if a participant leaves the Company with less than three years of continuous service, all Core Contributions, and any earnings on those contributions, are forfeited and used to fund other Company contributions for eligible associates. Unallocated forfeitures balances as of June 29, 2012 or December 31, 2011 were approximately $0 and $124,000, respectively.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan terms generally cannot exceed five years for general purpose loans and 30 years for residential loans.

The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at an interest rate of 1% in excess of the prime rate, as published the first business day of each month in the Wall Street Journal. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested balance of their account, or elect to receive installment payments over a period of time not to exceed their life expectancy. If a participant’s vested balance is greater than $1,000, they may leave their assets in the Plan until age 70¹/₂.

Hardship withdrawals are allowed for participants incurring an immediate and severe financial need, as defined by the Plan. Hardship withdrawals are strictly regulated by the IRS and a participant must exhaust all available loan options and distributions prior to requesting a hardship withdrawal.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participant notes receivable represents participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of June 29, 2012 or December 31, 2011. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value and are invested in The Master Trust Agreement for The Timken Company Defined Contribution Plans (Master Trust), which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and the seven other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company. The Plan’s trustee maintains a collective investment trust of Timken common shares in which the Company’s defined contribution plans participate on a unit basis. Timken common shares are traded on a national securities exchange and participation units in The Timken Company Common Stock Fund are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. The valuation per unit of The Timken Company Common Stock Fund was $24.84 and $21.05 at June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures although certain of these new disclosures will not be required for nonpublic entities. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-04 only clarifies existing fair value measurements and affects fair value measurement disclosures, adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not affect the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Investments

The Plan’s assets are held in the Master Trust, commingled with assets of other Company-sponsored benefit plans.

Each participating plan’s interest in the investment funds (i.e., separate accounts) of the Master Trust is based on account balances of the participants and their elected investment funds. The Master Trust assets are allocated among the participating plans by assigning to each plan those transactions (primarily contributions, benefit payments, and plan-specific expenses) that can be specifically identified and by allocating among all plans, in proportion to the fair value of the assets assigned to each plan, income and expenses resulting from the collective investment of the assets of the Master Trust. The Plan’s interest in the Master Trust as of June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 0% and 11.57% respectively.

At June 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, The Timken Company Common Stock Fund consisted of 12,658,072 and 14,235,559 units, respectively, of The Timken Company’s common stock held within the Master Trust.

4. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting guidance that classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Timken Company Stock Fund participates in units and is valued based on the closing price of Timken common shares traded on a national securities exchange.

Registered investment companies are valued based on quoted market prices reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

The JP Morgan S&P 500 Index fund and the JP Morgan Equity Index fund include investments that provide exposure to a broad equity market and are designed to mirror the aggregate price and dividend performance of the S&P 500 Index. The fair value of the investments in this category have been determined using the net asset value per share.

The JP Morgan Core Bond fund includes investments that seek to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of intermediate- and long-term debt securities. The fair value of the investments in this category has been determined using the net asset value per share.

The SSgA Russell 2000-A Index fund includes investments seeking an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000 Index over the long term. The fund includes exposure to stocks of small U.S. companies. The fair value of the investments in this category has been determined using the net asset value per share.

The Nuveen Winslow Large-Cap Growth fund is a portfolio that invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalization in excess of $4 billion at the time of purchase. The fair value of the investments in this category has been determined using the net asset value per share on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Investment contracts include a common collective trust fund that is designed to deliver safety and stability by preserving principal and accumulating earnings. This fund is primarily invested in guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts. See Note 6 – Investment Contracts for further discussion.

6. Investment Contracts

The Master Trust invests in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), or a Stable Value Fund, that credit a stated interest rate for a specified period of time. The Stable Value Fund provides principal preservation plus accrued interest through fully benefit-responsive wrap contracts issued by a third party which back the underlying assets owned by the Master Trust. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal at a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

The Plan’s wrapper contracts permit all allowable participant-initiated transactions to occur at contract value. There are no events known to the Plan that are probable of occurring and which would limit its ability to transact at contract value with the issuer of the wrapper contract, which also limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with participants.

The Hourly Pension Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

6. Investment Contracts (continued)

The wrapper contracts cannot be terminated by its issuer at a value other than contract value or prior to the scheduled maturity date, except under a limited number of very specific circumstances including termination of the Plan or failure to qualify, material misrepresentations by the Plan sponsor or investment manager, failure by these same parties to meet material obligations under the contract, or other similar types of events.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rates for the wrap contracts are calculated on a quarterly basis (or more frequently if necessary) using contract value, market value of the underlying fixed income portfolio, the yield of the portfolio, and the duration of the index, but cannot be less than zero.


	June 29, 2012			December 31, 2011
Average Yields for Synthetic GICS
Based on actual earnings		2.0	%		2.0	%
Based on interest rate credited to participants		2.0	%		2.0	%

7. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to the Form 5500

Total income per the Form 5500	$	17,575,364

8. Risks and Uncertainties

The Master Trust invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

9. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated April 3, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require plan management to evaluate 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

9. Income Tax Status (continued)

The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of June 29, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

10. Related-Party Transactions

Related-party transactions included the investments in the common stock of the Company and the investment funds of the Trustee. Such transactions are exempt from being prohibited transactions.

The following is a summary of transactions in Timken common shares with the Master Trust for the period from January 1, 2012 to June 29, 2012:


	Shares		Dollars
Purchased		695,127	$	44,754,668
Issued to participants for payment of benefits		52,439	$	750,438

Benefits paid to participants include payments made in Timken common shares valued at quoted market prices at the date of distribution.

Certain legal and accounting fees and certain administrative expenses relating to the maintenance of participant records are paid by the Company. Fees paid during the year for services rendered by parties in interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services.
