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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013, 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 2013 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.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CRANE CO. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012



1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Amended and Restated Crane Co. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s information.
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 Fiduciary Trust Company (“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 Crane Co. common stock which includes (a) Company matching contributions, and (b) participants’ deferred savings contributions that participants have elected to invest in Crane Co. common stock, 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 most recently amended effective January 1, 2013 to extend the 2 percent non-matching Company contribution to any participant not eligible to accrue a benefit under the Crane Pension Plan (which was frozen in 2013 - see note under “Contributions and Funding Policy” below) or the ELDEC money purchase pension 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 pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. The contribution limit for highly compensated employees, defined as those whose earnings equal at least $115,000 in both 2013 and 2012, respectively, is limited to ten percent. Those participants, who meet the eligibility requirements, may contribute additional amounts (age 50 catch-up); these additional contributions are ineligible for a Company matching contribution. Contributions are invested in funds selected by the participant. Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations.
The Company contributes on a matching basis 50% of the first six percent of each participant’s deferred savings.

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 $17,500 and $17,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Discrimination tests are performed annually; any test discrepancies would result in refunds to the participants.
In addition to participant deferral contributions and Company matching contributions on those deferrals, the Plan provided a 2 percent non-matching Company contribution to certain participants who were 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. Effective January 1, 2013, employees no longer earn future benefits in the domestic defined benefit pension plan. As such, all domestic employees, will now receive the two percent non-matching Company contribution.
 
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 23 registered investment companies, a money market fund, a collective trust and Crane Co. Common Stock as investment options for participants. Although Company matching contributions are initially invested in Company stock, participants are permitted to direct such amounts into other investment options available under the Plan.
Participant Accounts — Individual accounts are maintained for each participant of the Plan. 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, Plan losses and administrative fees (see Note 2). 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.

4


Vesting — Participant contributions plus actual earnings, thereon, are immediately vested. Vesting for Company contributions are as follows: 
 
 
 
Years of Service
  
Vested Interest
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 — When certain terminations of participation in the Plan occur, the non-vested portion of the participant's account, as defined by the Plan, represent a forfeiture. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $241,662 and $128,272, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future Company contributions. Company contributions were reduced by $873,784 and $1,109,277 from forfeited non-vested accounts during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 Code.
Notes Receivable from Participants — Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Loans are secured by an assignment of the participant’s vested interest in the Plan, 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 payroll deductions. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Participants may not have more than two loans outstanding at any time. As of December 31, 2013, participant loans have maturities through 2028 at interest rates ranging from 5 percent to 10.5 percent.
 
 
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”).
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 registered investment companies, a money market fund, Crane Co. common stock and a collective trust fund. 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 will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
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. 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 which are intended to maintain a constant net asset value. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is stated at fair value and then

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012


adjusted to contract value as described below. Participants may ordinarily 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 credited earnings, less participant withdrawals. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
In accordance with GAAP, the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III is included at fair value in participant-directed investments in the statements of assets available for benefits, and an additional line item is presented representing the adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statements of changes in assets available for benefits are presented on a contract value basis.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition — Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the registered investment companies and common collective trust are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investment.
  
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.
Administrative Expenses — Plan administrative expenses that are not otherwise paid out of the Plan assets (except those associated with the Master Trust) are paid by the Company in compliance with the terms of the Plan Document 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 are paid by the respective funds through automatic unit deductions. Participant loan fees are paid by the participant through automatic deductions. If plan participants elect to participate in the Vanguard managed account program, they are required to pay the related fees.
Payment of Benefits — Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no participants, who have elected to withdraw from the Plan, but have not yet been paid at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Subsequent Events — Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.


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. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.  
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Investments in registered investment companies: Valued at net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year-end based on quoted market prices from active markets and categorized as Level 1.
Money Market Fund: Short-term money market accounts are categorized as Level 1. They are 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 used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, and is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. 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. Investments in the collective trust fund are categorized as Level 2.
Investment in Master Trust: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. The Master Trust is comprised solely of Crane Co. common stock and there is a possibility that changes in the value of the Crane Co. common stock could occur and affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits. The Company’s common stock is categorized as Level 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 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 participating plans. The net assets and investments of the Master Trust at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized as follows:

COLLECTIVE TRUST FUND
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 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 NAV 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 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, 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.

The fair value of the investment has been estimated using the NAV 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.

9.
EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies managed by Vanguard. Vanguard is a trustee as defined by the Plan (see Note 1), and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Balances of these funds at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $295,600,128 and $225,385,536, respectively. These funds earned net investment income of $31,484,532 and $16,142,695 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fees incurred for investment management services, if any, were paid by the Plan as a reduction in the return on investment.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan held 1,374,093 and 1,635,135 shares, respectively, of common stock of Crane Co., the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $47,972,591 and $51,927,603, respectively, and fair value of $92,407,750 and $75,674,045, respectively. The shares held by the Plan at December 31, 2013 and 2012 reflect the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan recorded investment income of $30,949,278 and an investment loss of $734,840, 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.

10.
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 hereunder, the interest of each participant in benefits earned to such date, to the extent then funded, is fully vested and non-forfeitable. Subject to 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

10

AMENDED AND RESTATED CRANE CO. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012


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.
 


11.
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.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
 
12.
ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE (“ADP”) TESTING
Based on non-discrimination tests, the Plan did not pass the ADP test in 2013. 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 requirements and procedures of the Code and 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 2012. The Company corrected this compliance issue in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements and procedures of the Code and 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.

Effective January 1, 2014, contributions to the ELDEC Plan were frozen and ELDEC Plan participants became eligible for the non-matching Company contribution, which also was increased from a 2% to a 3% non-matching contribution.
