REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were 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, 2010, 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 2010 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

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following is a brief description of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”). Participants should refer to the Plan document and amendments for more complete information and for description of terms used herein.

General — The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain United States of America (“U.S.”) employees of Crane Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) serves as the trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan, and a Master Trust agreement between Crane Co. and Vanguard (“the Master Trust”) was set up to hold all Crane Co. common stock held by the Plan – see Note 6. The Master Trust consists solely of the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund which includes (a) Company matching contributions (which are non-participant-directed), and (b) participants’ deferred savings contributions that participants have elected to invest in the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund, and is qualified as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as defined in Section 4975 of the Code.

Plan Amendments —The Plan was originally effective January 1, 1985. The Plan was amended effective July 1, 2009 to reflect a reduction in the Company’s matching contribution to 25 percent of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings. The Plan was most recently amended on July 26, 2010, to be effective January 1, 2011. The amendments reflect an (i) increase in the Company’s matching contribution from 25 percent to 50 percent of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings, and (ii) extension of the 2% non-matching Company contribution to any participant not eligible to accrue a benefit under the Crane Pension Plan or the ELDEC Corporation and Interpoint Corporation Retirement Plan (the “ELDEC Plan”).

Administration of the Plan — The authority to manage, control and interpret the Plan is vested in the Administrative Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company. The Committee, which is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, appoints the Plan Administrator and is the named fiduciary within the meaning of ERISA.

Participation — Subject to certain conditions , U.S. employees of Crane Co. and participating Crane Co. subsidiaries whose terms of employment are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, or are not otherwise eligible to participate in a separate 401(k) plan of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completing the enrollment process following their date of hire.

Contributions and Funding Policy — Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from one to seventy-five percent of their annual compensation. The contribution limit for highly compensated employees, defined as those whose earnings equal at least $110,000 in 2010 and 2009, is limited to ten percent. Participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan year will be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limits of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Contributions are invested in funds selected by the participant. The Company contributes on a matching basis a percentage (as noted below) of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings, as follows:

Date Company Match
January 1, 2009 – June 30, 2009 50%
July 1, 2009 – December 31, 2010 25%

Matching contributions are automatically invested in Crane Co. common stock which is part of the Master Trust. In accordance with the Code, participant pretax contributions could not exceed $16,500 in 2010 and 2009. Discrimination tests are performed annually; any test discrepancies would result in refunds to the participants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

In addition to participant deferral contributions and Company matching contributions on those deferrals, the Plan provides a 2% non-matching Company contribution to certain participants who are not eligible to participate in the Company-sponsored defined benefit pension plan (the “Crane Pension Plan”) or the ELDEC Plan due to freezing of participation in those plans effective January 1, 2006.

Rollover Contributions — Rollover contributions from other qualified plans are accepted by the Plan. Rollover contributions represent participant account balances of new employees transferred from other non-company qualified plans.

Investments — Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers mutual funds, a money market fund, a common collective trust and the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund as investment options for participants in 2010. In 2009, the plan also offered the Huttig Stock Fund as an investment option.

Administrative Expenses — Plan administrative expenses that are not otherwise paid out of the Plan assets (except those associated with the Master Trust and the Huttig Stock Fund) are paid by the Company in compliance with the terms of the Plan and Department of Labor guidance. In addition, personnel and facilities of the Company used by the Plan for its accounting and other activities are provided at no charge to the Plan. Commission fees and administrative expenses incurred by the Master Trust and the Huttig Stock Fund are paid by the respective funds through automatic unit deductions. Participant loan fees are paid by the participant through automatic deductions.

Participant Accounts — Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching or other contribution and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or 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.

Vesting — Employee contributions are 100% vested. Vesting for Company contributions are as follows:

Years of Service
Less than 1 year None
1 year but fewer than 2 20%
2 year but fewer than 3 40%
3 year but fewer than 4 60%
4 year but fewer than 5 80%
5 years or more 100%

Participants whose employment terminates by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement are fully vested. Participants are fully vested upon the attainment of age sixty-five (65).

Forfeited Accounts — As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $220,216 and $112,466, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future Company contributions. Company contributions were reduced by $342,900 and $563,469 from forfeited non-vested accounts during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Payment of Benefits — Upon retirement, disability, termination of employment or death, a participant or designated beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to the participant’s account balance. If the participant’s account balance is greater than $1,000, the participant may elect to defer the withdrawal until reaching the age of 65. A participant may apply to the Committee for a distribution in cases of hardship. The Committee has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove hardship withdrawal requests, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. Any part of a participant’s unvested Company contribution at the time of termination of employment is forfeited and may be used to reduce future Company contributions or for other proper Plan purposes.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

Participant Loans — Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between investment funds and the Loan Fund. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prevailing prime lending rate as of the date the loan is made, plus two percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions and credited to the participant’s accounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in preparation of the financial statements of the Plan.

Basis of Accounting — The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Investment Valuation — The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is 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. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares published for the last business day of the year. Money market funds are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is a common collective trust fund administered by Vanguard. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III invests primarily in synthetic investment contracts backed by high-credit-quality fixed income investments and traditional investments issued by insurance companies and banks. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is stated at fair value and then adjusted to contract value as described below. Fair value of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is the net asset value of its underlying investments, and contract value is principal plus accrued interest. The investment in the Master Trust and Huttig Stock Fund are valued at the quoted market price of the respective company’s common stock on the last business day of the year.

The statements of assets available for benefits presents investment contracts at fair value, as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment of fully benefit-responsive contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is accounted for on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned. Total income of each fund is allocated monthly to participants’ accounts within the fund based on each participant’s relative beginning balance.

Notes Receivable from Participants — Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as benefits paid to participants based on the terms of the Plan document.

Payment of Benefits — Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, a money market fund, common stock funds and a common collective trust. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities

Page 6

AMENDED AND RESTATED CRANE CO. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. There is a concentration of investments in Crane Co. common stock and there is a possibility that changes in the value of Crane Co. common stock could occur and affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits.

Subsequent Events — Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Standards —

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , adding new disclosure requirements for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan prospectively adopted the new guidance in 2010, except for the Level 3 reconciliation disclosures, which are required in 2011. The adoption in 2010 did not materially affect, and the future adoption is not expected to materially affect, the Plan’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans — In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans . The ASU requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable rather than a plan investment and measured at unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest rather than fair value. The Plan retrospectively adopted the new accounting in 2010. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1, which refers to securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Plan’s policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

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

Mutual Funds: Valued at net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

Money Market Fund: Valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Collective Trust Fund: Valued at the NAV of shares of a bank collective trust held by the Plan at year-end. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund. Participant transactions (issuances and redemptions) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure the securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

Investment in Master Trust : Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

  1. INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

The Plan has a Master Trust to hold the Crane Co. Common Stock Fund. This trust account at Vanguard (“Trustee”) consists of an undivided interest in an investment account of the Master Trust, and is administered by the Trustee. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of trust assets with the assets of the Crane Co. Union Savings and Investment Plan as well as the ELDEC Plan with the Plan for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets of these plans are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the net gain or loss of the investment account to the participating plans. The net investment income of the investment assets is allocated by the Trustee to each participating plan based on the relationship of the interest of each plan to the total of the interests of the three participating plans. The net assets and investments of the Master Trust at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

2010 2009
Investment in Master Trust - at fair value Crane Co. Common Stock $ 75,084,827 $ 60,873,193
Percentage of Total Master Trust related to the Plan 97.1% 97.2%

Investment income of the Master Trust for the year ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 is summarized below:

2010 2009
Interest and dividend income, investments $ 94 $ 4,447
Net appreciation in fair value of investments 20,564,317 29,186,148
$ 20,564,411 $ 29,190,595
  1. COMMON COLLECTIVE TRUST

The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III (the “Fund”) is a collective trust fund sponsored by Vanguard. The beneficial interest of each participant is represented by units. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the Fund’s constant net asset value (“NAV”) of $1 per unit. Distributions to the Fund’s unit holders are 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 a stable net asset value of $1 per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this value.

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. 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, such as premature termination of the contracts by the Plan, plan termination, bankruptcy, mergers, and early retirement incentives. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Fund to transact at less than contract value is not probable.

  1. NET ASSET VALUE (“NAV”) PER SHARE

In accordance with ASU No. 2009-12, the Plan expanded its disclosures to include the category, fair value, redemption frequency, and redemption notice period for those assets whose fair value is estimated using the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2010.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

The following tables set forth a summary of the Plan’s investments with a reported NAV at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

| Investment | Fair Value Estimated Using Net Asset Value per
Share December 31, 2010 — Fair Value * | Unfunded Commitment | Redemption Frequency | Other Redemption Restrictions | Redemption Notice Period |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III (a) | $ 80,109,640 | None | Immediate | None | None |
| | Fair Value Estimated Using Net Asset Value per

| | Fair Value * | Unfunded Commitment | Redemption Frequency | Other Redemption Restrictions | Redemption Notice Period |
| Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III (a) | $ 76,706,429 | None | Immediate | None | None |

  • The fair value of the investment has been estimated using the net asset value of the investment.

(a) This fund seeks to provide participants with an attractive rate of interest and safety of principal by investing in investment contracts issued by financial institutions and in contracts that are backed by high quality bonds and bond mutual funds.

  1. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Vanguard. Vanguard is a trustee as defined by the Plan (see Note 1), and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Balances of these funds at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $169,897,277 and $142,796,426, respectively. These funds earned net investment income of $11,904,473 and $12,515,456 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Fees incurred for investment management services, if any, were paid by the Plan.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan held 1,774,755 and 1,931,692 shares, respectively, of common stock of Crane Co., the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $47,652,293 and $49,144,174, respectively, and fair value of $72,889,170 and $59,148,029, respectively. The shares held by the Plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009 reflect the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan recorded investment income of $19,994,064 and $27,985,691, respectively, related to its investment in the common stock of Crane Co.

Certain officers and employees of the Company (who may also be participants in the Plan) perform administrative services related to the operation and financial reporting of the Plan. The Company pays these individuals salaries and also pays other administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan. Certain fees, to the extent not paid by the Company, are paid by the Plan.

  1. PLAN TERMINATION

The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, which includes the right to vary the amount of, or to terminate, the Company’s contributions to the Plan. In the event of the Plan’s termination or discontinuance of contributions thereunder, the interest of each participant in benefits earned to such date, to the extent then funded, is fully vested and non-forfeitable. Subject to

Page 13

AMENDED AND RESTATED CRANE CO. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

the requirements of the Code, the Board of Directors shall thereupon direct either (i) Vanguard to hold the accounts of participants in accordance with the provisions of the Plan without regard to such termination until all funds in such accounts have been distributed in accordance with such provisions, or (ii) the Trustee to immediately distribute to each participant all amounts then credited to the participant’s account as a lump sum.

  1. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by letter dated November 14, 2003 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter and a request for an updated determination of the Plan and related trust’s qualified status is pending with the IRS. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Company and the Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

  1. ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE (“ADP”) TESTING

Based on non-discrimination tests, the Plan did not pass the ADP test in 2010. The ADP test is designed to limit the extent to which the elective contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees (per IRS regulations) may exceed the level of elective contributions made on behalf of non-highly compensated employees. The Company corrected this compliance issue in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (“EPCRS”), an amnesty program sponsored by the IRS. The correction involved remitting a portion of the elective contributions (and any earnings on those contributions) to the affected participants in an amount sufficient to pass the test.

The Plan also did not pass the ADP test in 2009. The Company corrected this compliance issue in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the EPCRS. The correction involved remitting a portion of the elective contributions (and any earnings on those contributions) to the affected participants in an amount sufficient to pass the test.

Considering the remedial actions taken and to be taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan document and the Code, management believes that this compliance issue will not affect the tax-exempt status of the Plan.
