FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
Tyco Electronics Ltd. ("Tyco Electronics" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, specialty products, and undersea telecommunication systems.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company established the Specialty Products Group from its existing businesses. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the results of this new organization are reported as a separate reporting segment. This new segment is comprised of the Medical Products, Circuit Protection, Touch Systems, and Aerospace, Defense, and Marine businesses which were formerly reported in the Electronic Components segment. See Note 20 for additional information regarding the Company's segments.
Change of Domicile
Effective June 25, 2009, the Company discontinued its existence as a Bermuda company as provided in Section 132G of The Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the "Bermuda Companies Act"), and, in accordance with article 161 of the Swiss Federal Code on International Private Law, continued its existence as a Swiss company under articles 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the "Change of Domicile"). The rights of holders of the Company's shares are now governed by Swiss law, the Company's Swiss articles of association, and its Swiss organizational regulations. The articles of association and organizational regulations were included as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 25, 2009.
The Separation
Effective June 29, 2007, the Company became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of its shares of Tyco Electronics, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "Separation").
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In management's opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in

conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2009.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 are to the Company's fiscal years ending September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.
Reclassifications
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reclassified certain expenses on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research, development, and engineering expenses, which were previously classified as cost of sales, are separately presented in this report. Also, intangible asset amortization expense, which was previously reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses, is now presented in cost of sales.
Research, development, and engineering expenses were $130 million and $152 million for the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and $405 million and $438 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense was $7 million and $9 million for the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and $23 million and $25 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported operating income (loss), net income (loss), or earnings (loss) per share. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
2. Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 165, "Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting and disclosure of events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to issuance of the financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 21 for the required disclosures related to subsequent events.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 28-1,"Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. It also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 for the required disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to provide improved transparency into the uses and financial statement impact of derivative instruments

and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 for the required disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In June 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 06-11, "Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards." EITF 06-11 requires that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalent units paid on non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units be reflected as an increase in contributed surplus and reflected as an addition to the Company's excess tax benefit pool, as defined under SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." The Company adopted EITF 06-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In March 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements." The Company adopted EITF 06-10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, the Company recognized accrued and other current liabilities of $1 million and other liabilities of $4 million on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated earnings of $5 million.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, on a contract-by-contract basis, to make an irrevocable election to account for certain types of financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value, rather than historical cost, with changes in the fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recognized in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company did not elect to value any existing assets or liabilities at fair value upon adoption, nor did it apply the fair value option to any eligible assets acquired or liabilities incurred during the quarter.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company will adopt the non-financial asset and liability fair value provisions in fiscal 2010. See Note 13 for additional information related to fair value measurements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162." SFAS No. 168 introduces the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") that will serve as the single source of authoritative GAAP. Use of the Codification is effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the Codification is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,"Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." SFAS No. 167 addresses accounting for variable interest entities, amending FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46(R). SFAS No. 167 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 167 will have on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

6. Goodwill (Continued)
The Company tests goodwill allocated to reporting units for impairment annually during the fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances exist that indicate that a reporting unit's carrying value may exceed its fair value. As a result of declines in sales and profitability of the Automotive and Communications and Industrial Solutions reporting units of the Electronic Components segment and the Circuit Protection reporting unit of the Specialty Products segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment had occurred and goodwill impairment testing of these reporting units was required. Significant judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including, among others, operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying each to the analysis of the recoverability of goodwill.
The testing for goodwill impairment is a two step process. In performing step I of impairment testing, the Company determined the fair value of the Automotive, Communications and Industrial Solutions, and Circuit Protection reporting units based on a discounted cash flows analysis incorporating the Company's estimate of future operating performance. The results of the step I goodwill impairment tests indicated that the book value of each of the reporting units exceeded its fair value. The failure of the step I goodwill impairment tests triggered step II goodwill impairment tests in which the Company determined the implied fair value of the reporting units' goodwill by comparing the reporting units' fair value determined in step I to the fair value of the reporting units' net assets, including unrecognized intangible assets. The step II goodwill impairment tests resulted in a full impairment charge of $2,088 million for the Automotive reporting unit and partial impairment charges of $1,347 million and $112 million for the Communications and Industrial Solutions and Circuit Protection reporting units, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

On June 9, 2009, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $150 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, up to $100 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and up to $100 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037. The debt subject to the tender offer is reflected as long-term on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2009. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 26, 2009, the Company completed the tender offer. See Note 21 for additional information regarding the tender offer.
In April 2007, TEGSA entered into a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). In the quarter ended March 27, 2009, $75 million of the commitment was assigned by

Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB to TEGSA, reducing the total effective commitment to $1,425 million. At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant that requires the Company to limit its ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to no more than 3.5 to 1.0. The Credit Facility and the Company's other debt agreements contain other customary covenants.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of the 6.55% senior notes and $200 million principal amount of the 6.00% senior notes. Prior to the termination, the interest rate swaps were marked to fair value, resulting in premiums of $49 million and $14 million associated with the 6.55% senior notes and 6.00% senior notes, respectively. The premiums will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the respective notes. See Notes 11 and 21 for additional information on interest rate swaps.
The fair value of the Company's debt was approximately $2,277 million and $3,115 million at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.
9. Guarantees
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement, upon Separation, the Company entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under these agreements, principally the Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco International, Covidien, and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters of Tyco International. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify the Company for 69% of certain liabilities settled by the Company with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, the Company has made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled by the companies with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, the Company would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. The Company's indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."
At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company had a FIN 45 liability representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement of $339 million which was reflected in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate

the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
At June 26, 2009, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $341 million, of which $50 million was related to its contract with the State of New York. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the State of New York contract.
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, except for the charges related to the contract with the State of New York discussed below, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
As disclosed in Note 12, in January 2009, the State of New York (the "State") drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge equal to the draw. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit which could result in additional charges and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

The Company anticipates that, at a minimum, it will make the minimum required contributions to its pension plans in fiscal 2009 of $4 million for U.S. plans and $77 million for non-U.S. plans.

10. Retirement Plans (Continued)
The Company expects to make contributions to its postretirement benefit plans of $2 million in fiscal 2009. During the nine months ended June 26, 2009, Company contributions to its postretirement benefit plans were $1 million.
Subsequent to fiscal year end 2008, conditions have significantly deteriorated in debt and equity markets globally. The deterioration has had a negative effect on the fair value of the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans' assets since September 26, 2008. The impact of the decline in plan assets on minimum required contributions or net periodic benefits cost in future periods could be material to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
11. Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value as of June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008. See Note 8 for disclosure of the fair value of debt and Note 13 for additional information on fair value measurements.
The Company uses derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity risks.
The Company accounts for derivative financial instrument contracts on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For instruments not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133, the changes in the instruments' fair value are recognized as selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For instruments designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge are recognized currently, based on the nature of the ineffectiveness, in cost of sales or selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company's derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as the Company deals with a variety of major financial institutions worldwide with long-term Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch credit ratings of A/A2 or higher. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are utilized. The Company is exposed to potential losses if a counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of its agreement. With respect to counterparty net asset positions recognized at June 26, 2009, the Company has assessed the likelihood of counterparty default as remote. At this time, the Company is not required, nor does it require, collateral or other security to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments.
The cash flows related to derivative financial instruments are reported in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other cash transactions.
At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company had net liabilities of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to foreign exchange instruments. The Company expects that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months as adjustments to cost of sales.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company issues debt, from time to time, in capital markets to fund its operations. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure and to minimize overall interest cost, the Company has used, and may use in the future, interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt into variable rate debt (fair value hedges) and/or convert a portion of its variable rate debt into fixed-rate debt (cash flow hedges).
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of the 6.55% senior notes and $200 million principal amount of the 6.00% senior notes. Prior to the termination, the interest rate swaps were marked to fair value, resulting in premiums of $49 million and $14 million associated with the 6.55% senior notes and 6.00% senior notes, respectively. The premiums will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the respective notes. The Company recognized reductions in interest expense relating to these swaps of $2 million and $7 million during the quarter and nine months ended June 26, 2009, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During fiscal 2007, in anticipation of issuing fixed-rate debt, the Company entered into and, concurrent with the Company's fixed-rate debt issuance, terminated forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest expense that would result from changes in interest rates between the date of the swap and the Company's anticipated date of issuing fixed-rate debt. These forward starting interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedges of the probable interest payments under SFAS No. 133. Upon the issuance of the Company's senior notes in September 2007, these swaps were terminated for a cash payment of $54 million. The effective portion of these swaps of $53 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is recognized in earnings as interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instruments. The Company recognized interest expense relating to these swaps of $2 million in the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, and $5 million in the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Hedges of Net Investment
The Company hedges its net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $1,279 million and $1,161 million at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively. As a result of the hedges of net investment, the Company reclassified a foreign exchange loss of $38 million and a gain of $54 million during the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and losses of $17 million and $283 million during the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. These amounts were recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, offsetting foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to the translation of the net investment. See additional information in Note 17.
Commodity Hedges
As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, the Company utilizes commodity swap contracts, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production.
At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company's commodity hedges, which related to purchases of gold, were in a gain position of $2 million and had a notional value of $9 million and $21 million, respectively. The Company expects that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the commodities hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months as adjustments to cost of sales. The Company did not engage in commodities hedges during the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

Tyco Electronics Legal Proceedings
Intellectual Property and Antitrust Litigation
The Company is a party to a number of patent infringement and antitrust actions that may require the Company to pay damage awards. The Company has assessed the status of these matters and has recorded liabilities related to certain of these matters where appropriate.
Other Matters
The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions, and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Legal Matters under Separation and Distribution Agreement
The Separation and Distribution Agreement provided for the allocation among the Company, Tyco International, and Covidien of Tyco International's assets, liabilities, and obligations attributable to periods prior to the Company's and Covidien's separations from Tyco International on June 29, 2007. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters at Separation related to the Company's business or assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify the other parties for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. Tyco Electronics will be responsible for 31% of certain potential liabilities that may arise from litigation pending or threatened at Separation that was not allocated to one of the three parties, and Tyco International and Covidien are responsible for 27% and 42%, respectively, of such liabilities. If any party defaults in payment of its allocated share of any such liability, each non-defaulting party will be responsible for an equal portion of the amount in default together with any other non-defaulting party, although any such payments will not release the obligation of the defaulting party. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco International manages and controls all the legal matters related to the shared contingent liabilities, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations. All costs and expenses that Tyco International incurs in connection with the defense of such litigation, other than the amount of any judgment or settlement, which will be allocated in the manner described above, will be borne equally by Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company.
Tyco International Legal Proceedings
Securities Class Actions and Settlement
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, prior to the announcement by Tyco International of the planned separation of Tyco Electronics and Covidien in January 2006, Tyco International and certain of its former directors and officers were named as defendants in over 40 purported securities class action lawsuits. As a part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any existing or potential liabilities related to the securities class actions were allocated among Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company. The Company is responsible for 31% of potential liabilities that may arise upon the resolution of the remaining pending litigation.

Most of the securities class actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings. A consolidated securities class action complaint was filed in these proceedings and on June 12, 2006, the court entered an order certifying a class "consisting of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Tyco securities between December 13, 1999 and June 7, 2002, and who were damaged thereby, excluding defendants, all of the officers, directors and partners thereof, members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, and any entity in which any of the foregoing have or had a controlling interest." As previously reported, Tyco International settled 32 of the purported securities class action lawsuits arising from the actions alleged to have been taken by its prior management, for which the Company was responsible for 31%. All legal contingencies that could have affected the final order entered in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire approving the settlement expired on February 21, 2008. As of the opt-out deadline for the settlement, Tyco International received opt-out notices from individuals and entities totaling approximately 4% of the shares owned by class members. A number of these individuals and entities filed actions separately against Tyco International and/or Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company. In addition, several securities cases remain outstanding, including several cases asserting claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").
Settlement of Securities Proceedings Not Covered by the Class Action Settlement
As previously reported, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company entered into definitive agreements to settle actions captionedHess v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. andSciallo v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and an opt-out case brought by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board. Pursuant to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company recorded charges of $9 million, for which no tax benefit was available.
As previously reported, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company settled opt-out cases with Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and related plaintiffs and the Public Employees' Retirement Association of Colorado. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company recorded charges of $19 million, for which no tax benefit was available. Additionally, as previously reported, the Company recorded reserves totaling $375 million representing the best estimate of probable loss for the remaining securities litigation claims subject to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including remaining opt-out cases and cases arising under ERISA. As a result, the Company recorded a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $116 million for its share of the reserves, for which no tax benefit was available.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company settled five of the remaining opt-out cases for $199 million. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company's share of the settlement amounts was $62 million. As the Company had previously established reserves for these opt-out cases, the settlements did not impact its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company agreed to settle for a total of $70 million, subject to the entry of a final order by the court approving the settlement, eight consolidated class actions brought under ERISA against Tyco International and

certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, which are subject to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company's share of the settlement amount is $22 million. As discussed above, the Company had previously established a reserve for this consolidated action.
Investigations
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, Tyco International and others received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the U.S. Department of Labor, the General Services Administration, and others seeking the production of documents in connection with various investigations into Tyco International's governance, management, operations, accounting, and related controls prior to the Separation. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco International and the administrators of certain of its benefit plans. Tyco International has advised the Company that it cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can it predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that Tyco International will be required to pay material fines or suffer other penalties, and pursuant to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, a portion of such payments may be allocated to the Company. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters. As a result, the Company's share of such potential losses also is not estimable and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Compliance Matters
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, Tyco International received and has responded to various allegations that certain improper payments were made by Tyco International subsidiaries, including Tyco Electronics subsidiaries, in recent years prior to the Separation. Tyco International reported to the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it had taken in response to the allegations, including that it retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls, and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and that it would continue to investigate and make periodic progress reports to these agencies. To date, the Company's baseline review has revealed that some of the Company's former business practices may not comply with FCPA requirements. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters and other allegations reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of these matters. However, it is possible that the Company may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties, or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Any judgment, settlement, or other cost incurred by Tyco International in connection with these matters not specifically allocated to Tyco International, Covidien, or the Company would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Income Taxes
In prior years, in connection with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audits of various fiscal years, Tyco International submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. The IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments for fiscal years 1997 through 2000 for which the IRS had completed its field work. On the basis of previously accepted amendments, the Company has determined that acceptance of adjustments presented for additional periods through fiscal 2005 is probable and, accordingly, has recorded them, as well as the impacts of the adjustments accepted by the IRS, on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During fiscal 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 1997 through 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agent Reports which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. Tyco International has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million. It is the Company's understanding that Tyco International has appealed other proposed adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion and is vigorously defending its prior filed tax return positions. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. Any penalty imposed would be subject to sharing with Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement. It is the Company's understanding that Tyco International is vigorously opposing the assertion of any such penalties. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to these matters are appropriate; however, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and, should Tyco International lose its appeal, it could result in a material impact to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Tyco International continues to complete proposed adjustments to the remainder of its U.S. federal income tax returns. In fiscal 2008, certain proposed adjustments to U.S. federal income tax returns were completed by Tyco International and presented to the IRS. In connection with the amendment process, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded the tax impacts of certain proposed adjustments to previously filed tax returns that resulted in a $31 million increase in income tax liabilities, a $5 million increase in deferred tax assets, an $18 million increase in the receivable from Tyco International and Covidien recorded in connection with the Tax Sharing Agreement, and an $8 million decrease in contributed surplus. In addition, in fiscal 2008, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company completed and filed certain fiscal 2007 U.S. consolidated federal and state income tax returns which included a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company's subsidiaries. As the Company's tax return positions continue to be updated, additional adjustments may be identified and recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, the Company believes that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Additionally, adjustments may be recorded to shareholders' equity in the future for the impact of filing final or amended income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and/or the Company's subsidiaries for the periods prior to the Separation.

Environmental Matters
The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 26, 2009, the Company concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $12 million to $25 million. As of June 26, 2009, the Company concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $16 million, of which $4 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $12 million is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $16 million, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Matters Related to the Company's Former Wireless Systems Business
Certain liabilities and contingencies related to the Company's Wireless Systems business were retained by the Company when this business was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. These include certain retained liabilities related to the State of New York contract and a contingent purchase price commitment related to the acquisition of Com-Net by the Wireless Systems business in 2001. See additional information below. Also, see Note 4 for additional information regarding the divestiture of the Wireless Systems business.
State of New York Contract
On September 19, 2005, the Company was awarded a twenty-year lease contract with the State of New York to construct, operate, and maintain a statewide wireless communications network for use by state and municipal first responders. On August 29, 2008, the Company was served by the State with a default notice related to the first regional network, pursuant to the contract. Under the terms of the contract, the Company had 45 days to rectify the purported deficiencies noted by the State. On October 16, 2008, the Company informed the State that all technical deficiencies had been remediated and the system was operating in accordance with the contract specifications and certified the system ready for testing. The State conducted further testing during November and December 2008. On January 15, 2009, the State notified the Company that, in the State's opinion, the Company had not fully remediated the issues cited by the State and it had determined that the Company was in default of the contract and that it had exercised its right to terminate the contract. The State contends that it has the right under the contract to recoup costs incurred by the State in conjunction with the implementation of the network, and as a result of this contention, on January 16, 2009, the State drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by the Company. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit, although the Company disputes that the State has any basis to do so.
On February 13, 2009, the Company filed a claim in the New York Court of Claims, seeking over $100 million in damages, and alleging a number of causes of action, including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, defamation, conversion, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, the imposition of a constructive trust, and seeking a declaration that the State terminated the contract "for

convenience." On April 8, 2009, the State filed a motion to dismiss all but the breach of contract claim, thereby automatically staying all discovery in the litigation. On April 27, 2009, the Company filed a motion to lift the automatic stay on discovery, and on May 14, 2009, the Company filed a brief in opposition to the State's motion to dismiss. The return date for both of these motions was set at May 20, 2009. Both motions are currently under consideration with the court.
As a result of these actions, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $111 million associated with this contract. These charges are reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of the Company's sale of the Wireless Systems business. See Note 4 for further discussion of discontinued operations and the sale of the Wireless Systems business. The charges included an impairment charge of $61 million to write-off all costs incurred in constructing the network as well as a charge equal to the amount drawn by the State against the standby letter of credit of $50 million. The assets related to the impairment charge were previously reflected primarily as inventory on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recognized any revenue related to the lease contract.
Com-Net
At June 26, 2009, the Company had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to its fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State of Florida has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company does not believe it has any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested the Company's position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which is in the motion pleading and discovery phase. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not believe that any payment is probable or estimable at this time.
13. Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," as of September 27, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) for one year. The Company will adopt the non-financial asset and liability fair value disclosures in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 157 specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources,
28
TYCO ELECTRONICS LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
13. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
- •
- Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
- •
- Level 2—Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
- •
- Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value were as follows:

The Company does not have significant financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the respective assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
- •
- Commodity swap contracts—Fair value of these assets and liabilities is determined using quoted futures exchanges (level 1).
- •
- Foreign currency contracts—Fair value of these assets and liabilities is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates (level 2).
- •
- Rabbi trust assets—Rabbi trust assets are comprised of marketable debt and equity securities that are marked to fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (level 1).
The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are valued using the over-the-counter quoted market prices for similar instruments. The Company does not believe that fair values of these

The Company recorded a tax provision of $3 million, an effective income tax rate of 9.7%, for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 and recorded a tax provision of $191 million, an effective income tax rate of 40.0%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2008. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 reflects the tax benefits recognized in connection with fiscal 2009 profitability in certain entities operating in lower tax rate jurisdictions partially offset by accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals related to the estimated tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends as well as accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.
For the nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $577 million, an effective income tax rate of 15.4%, and for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 recorded a tax provision of $502 million, an effective income tax rate of 25.8%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 was impacted by the $3,547 million pre-tax impairment of goodwill for which a tax benefit was not fully recognized, as well as a $144 million pre-tax charge related to pre-Separation securities litigation, for which no tax benefit was recorded. For the nine months ended June 27, 2008, the effective tax rate includes the impact of $572 million of pre-tax income recognized in connection with the adoption of FIN 48,"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," for which no tax was provided. In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company records accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of September 26, 2008, the Company had recorded $1,110 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,106 million was recorded in income taxes and $4 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. During the quarter and nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company recognized $38 million and $100 million, respectively, of interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 26, 2009, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,219 million, of which $1,217 million was recorded in income taxes and $2 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In fiscal 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000. Tyco International is in the process of appealing certain tax adjustments proposed by the IRS related to this period. In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the IRS commenced its field examination of certain Tyco International U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004. Tyco International's U.S. federal tax filings for years subsequent to 2004 also remain open to examination by the IRS. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the status of IRS examinations.

Change of Domicile
As discussed in Note 1, effective June 25, 2009, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to Switzerland. In connection with the Change of Domicile and in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, the par value of the Company's common shares increased from $0.20 per share to 2.60 Swiss Francs ("CHF") per share (or $2.40 based on an exchange rate in effect on June 22, 2009). The Change of Domicile was approved at a special meeting of shareholders held on June 22, 2009. The following steps occurred in connection with the Change of Domicile, which did not result in a change to total Shareholders' Equity:
- 1)
- the par value of common shares was increased from $0.20 to CHF 2.60 through a 1-for-12 reverse share split, followed by the issuance of 11 fully paid bonus shares so that the same number of shares were outstanding before and after the Change of Domicile but with an increased par value per share, which reduced contributed surplus by $1.1 billion with a corresponding increase to common shares;
- 2)
- the cancellation of approximately 32 million shares held in treasury;
- 3)
- the elimination of share premium with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus, all of which was designated as freely distributable reserves for Swiss corporate law purposes; and
- 4)
- the elimination of 125 million authorized preferred shares, none of which were issued and outstanding.
Preferred Shares
In connection with the Change of Domicile, as discussed above, all authorized preferred shares were eliminated. At September 26, 2008, the Company had authorized 125,000,000 preferred shares, par value of $0.20, none of which were issued and outstanding.
Common Shares
As a result of the adoption of the Company's new articles of association in connection with the Change of Domicile but prior to the distribution to shareholders discussed under "Distributions to Shareholders" below, the Company's ordinary share capital was $1,124 million with 468 million registered common shares and a par value of CHF 2.60 (or $2.40 based on an exchange rate in effect on June 22, 2009). Subject to certain conditions specified in the articles of association, the shareholders have authorized the Company's board of directors to increase the Company's share capital by issuing up to 234 million conditional shares and up to 234 million authorized shares (until June 22, 2011). Although the Company states its par value in Swiss Francs, it continues to use the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency for preparing its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Common Shares Held in Treasury
Prior to the Change of Domicile, approximately 32 million shares held by the Company in treasury were cancelled, leaving 10 million shares held in treasury as of June 26, 2009. At September 26, 2008, there were 37 million shares held in treasury.

16. Shareholders' Equity (Continued)
Share Premium and Contributed Surplus
As of September 26, 2008, the Company was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. Prior to the Change of Domicile, in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act, when the Company issued shares for cash at a premium to their par value, the resulting premium was an increase to a share premium account, a non-distributable reserve. Contributed surplus, subject to certain conditions, is a distributable reserve.
Distributions to Shareholders
Under current Swiss law, distributions to shareholders made in the form of a reduction of registered share capital are exempt from Swiss withholding tax. Beginning on January 1, 2011, subject to the adoption of implementing regulations and amendments to Swiss tax law, distributions to shareholders made out of contributed surplus will be exempt from Swiss withholding tax. Distributions or dividends on the Company's shares must be approved by the Company's shareholders.
On June 22, 2009, the Company's shareholders approved a cash distribution to shareholders in the form of a capital reduction to the par value of the Company's common shares of CHF 0.17 per share, which will be paid to holders of record on the record date upon effectiveness of the capital reduction. The record date and the payment date are expected to occur in the quarter ending September 25, 2009. This capital reduction will reduce the par value of the Company's common shares from CHF 2.60 (equivalent to $2.40) to CHF 2.43 (equivalent to $2.24). The distribution will be paid in U.S. Dollars at a rate of $0.16 per share.
Upon approval by the shareholders of the cash distribution, the Company recorded a liability of $75 million with a corresponding charge to common shares in the quarter ended June 26, 2009. Unpaid dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company did not purchase any of its common shares under its share repurchase program. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company purchased approximately 6 million of its common shares for $125 million. Also, during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company settled purchases of $27 million of its common shares which occurred prior to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Since inception of the share repurchase program, which has a current authorization of $2,000 million, the Company has purchased approximately 43 million shares for $1,394 million.

For the nine months ended June 26, 2009, non-vested restricted share awards and non-vested options to purchase Tyco Electronics' common shares with underlying exercise prices less than the average market prices were outstanding, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion of these securities would have been antidilutive. Such shares not included in the computation of diluted loss per share were 1 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009.
Certain share options were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share because the instruments' underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of Tyco Electronics' common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive. Such shares not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share were 21 million and 16 million as of June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively.

21. Subsequent Events
On June 9, 2009, TEGSA commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $150 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, up to $100 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and up to $100 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037. On July 7, 2009, the tender offer expired and on July 9, 2009, TEGSA purchased and cancelled $86 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, $42 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and $23 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037 for an aggregate payment of $141 million, plus paid accrued interest through July 7, 2009 of $3 million to the sellers of the notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the accompanying notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2009. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading "Forward-Looking Information" and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors."
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Change of Domicile
Effective June 25, 2009, Tyco Electronics Ltd. ("Tyco Electronics" or the "Company", which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") discontinued its existence as a Bermuda company as provided in Section 132G of The Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, and, in accordance with article 161 of the Swiss Federal Code on International Private Law, continued its existence as a Swiss company under articles 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the "Change of Domicile"). The rights of holders of our shares are now governed by Swiss law, our Swiss articles of association, and our Swiss organizational regulations.
The Separation
Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of its shares of Tyco Electronics, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "Separation").
Overview
We are a leading global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, specialty products, and undersea telecommunication systems. We design, manufacture, and market approximately 500,000 different products for customers in a broad array of industries including automotive; data communication systems and consumer electronics; telecommunications; aerospace, defense, and marine; medical; energy; and lighting. We believe the end markets that we sell into are balanced with the total end market demand for our products.
We operate through four reporting segments: Electronic Components, Network Solutions, Specialty Products, and Undersea Telecommunications. See Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segment reporting structure. We sold our Wireless Systems business in May 2009, and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Wireless Systems business has been reclassified as discontinued operations. Prior to reclassification to held for sale and discontinued operations, this business was reported as our former Wireless Systems segment. Also, effective January 1, 2009, we established the Specialty Products Group from our existing businesses. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the results of this new organization are reported as a separate reporting segment. This new segment is comprised of the Medical Products, Circuit Protection, Touch Systems, and Aerospace, Defense, and Marine businesses which were formerly reported in the Electronic Components segment. Prior period segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
48
We have an established worldwide manufacturing presence with facilities in approximately 25 countries, and we operate in approximately 50 countries and territories. Our direct sales force, supported by approximately 7,000 engineers, serves customers in over 150 countries. Through our sales force and engineering resources, we are able to collaborate with our customers anywhere in the world to provide highly engineered products and solutions to meet their needs.
Our strategic objective is to increase our revenue and profitability across all of our segments in the markets we serve. This strategy is dependent upon the following strategic priorities:
- •
- leverage our market leadership position to increase our market share;
- •
- achieve market leadership in attractive and under-penetrated industries;
- •
- extend our leadership in key emerging markets;
- •
- supplement organic growth with strategic acquisitions;
- •
- improve operating margins; and
- •
- accelerate new product development through research and development excellence.
Key business factors that influenced our results of operations for the periods discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include:
- •
- Raw material prices. We expect to purchase approximately 125 million pounds of copper and approximately 125,000 troy ounces of gold in fiscal 2009. During the periods shown, gold prices, as well as the prices of certain other raw materials, have been volatile; however, current year prices have decreased from prior year levels. Copper prices remain high relative to historic levels but have declined over the past year. The following table sets forth the average prices incurred related to copper and gold during the periods presented:

- Foreign exchange. Approximately 50% of our net sales are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our results of operations are influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. Dollar, compared to other currencies, will directly affect our reported results as we translate those currencies into U.S. Dollars at the end of each fiscal period. The percentage of net sales in the nine months ended June 26, 2009 by major currencies invoiced was as follows:
U.S. Dollar | 50 | % | ||
Euro | 28 | |||
Japanese Yen | 7 | |||
Chinese Renminbi | 4 | |||

Total | 100 | % | ||
Economic Conditions
Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by worldwide economic conditions. Our sales are dependent on certain end markets that are impacted by consumer
49
as well as industrial and infrastructure spending, and our operating results can be adversely affected by reduced demand in those markets. As a result of economic trends, we experienced a 33.7% and 30.0% decrease in net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008. We also anticipate a decrease in net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to declines in end market demand. We expect net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 to increase slightly from third quarter fiscal 2009 levels as a result of continued improvement in consumer end markets, partially offset by a decline in our Undersea Telecommunications segment.
We are monitoring the current environment and its potential effects on our customers and on the end markets we serve. Additionally, we continue to closely manage our costs in order to respond to changing conditions. We are also managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund our future capital needs. (See further discussion in "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capitalization.")
We test goodwill allocated to reporting units for impairment annually during the fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances exist that indicate that a reporting unit's carrying value may exceed its fair value. As a result of declines in sales and profitability of the Automotive and Communications and Industrial Solutions reporting units of the Electronic Components segment and the Circuit Protection reporting unit of the Specialty Products segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we determined that an indicator of impairment had occurred and goodwill impairment testing of these reporting units was required. Significant judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. In making this assessment, we rely on a number of factors including, among others, operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying each to the analysis of the recoverability of goodwill.
The testing for goodwill impairment is a two step process. In performing step I of impairment testing, we determined the fair value of the Automotive, Communications and Industrial Solutions, and Circuit Protection reporting units based on a discounted cash flows analysis incorporating our estimate of future operating performance. The results of the step I goodwill impairment tests indicated that the book value of each of the reporting units exceeded its fair value. The failure of the step I goodwill impairment tests triggered step II goodwill impairment tests in which we determined the implied fair value of the reporting units' goodwill by comparing the reporting units' fair value determined in step I to the fair value of the reporting units' net assets, including unrecognized intangible assets. The step II goodwill impairment tests resulted in a full impairment charge of $2,088 million for the Automotive reporting unit and partial impairment charges of $1,347 million and $112 million for the Communications and Industrial Solutions and Circuit Protection reporting units, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Given current economic conditions and the impairment charges taken in the second quarter, we performed a sensitivity analysis of the estimated fair value of its reporting units using the income approach during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Key assumptions used in the income approach include, but are not limited to, expected cash flows from the reporting unit operations and the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting such cash flow estimates. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, we determined that there was no further goodwill impairment as of June 26, 2009.
Discontinued Operations and Divestitures
In April 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Wireless Systems business. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we completed the sale for $665 million in net cash proceeds and recognized a pre-tax gain of $55 million on this transaction. The proceeds and gain on sale are subject to a final working capital adjustment. The divestiture of the Wireless Systems business substantially completes the streamlining of our portfolio that we began two years ago.
50
During the nine months ended June 26, 2009, we received additional cash proceeds related to working capital of $29 million in connection with the fiscal 2008 sale of the Radio Frequency Components and Subsystem and Automotive Radar Sensors businesses. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected the $29 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets at September 26, 2008.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, in connection with the sale of our Power Systems business, we received $102 million in net cash proceeds and recorded a $56 million pre-tax gain on the sale.
The Wireless Systems, Radio Frequency Components and Subsystem, Automotive Radar Sensors, and Power Systems businesses have been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to reclassification to held for sale and discontinued operations, the Wireless Systems, Radio Frequency Components and Subsystem, and Automotive Radar Sensors businesses were components of the former Wireless Systems segment. The Power Systems business was a component of the Other segment, which was subsequently renamed the Undersea Telecommunications segment. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we completed the sale of the Battery Systems business, which was part of the Electronic Components segment, for net cash proceeds of $14 million after working capital adjustments. The divestiture resulted in a $7 million pre-tax loss on sale which is reflected in restructuring and other charges, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have presented the loss on sale and the operations of the Battery Systems business in continuing operations due to immateriality.
Manufacturing Simplification and Cost Actions due to Current Economic Environment
We plan to continue to simplify our global manufacturing footprint, by migrating facilities from higher-cost to lower-cost countries, consolidating within countries, and transferring product lines to lower-cost countries. These initiatives are designed to help us maintain our competitiveness in the industry, improve our operating leverage, and position us for profitability growth in the years ahead.
We have closed a number of manufacturing facilities since we began our simplification program in 2007. By the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we will have fewer than 100 manufacturing sites.
As a result of the current economic environment, we have accelerated workforce reductions through the elimination of temporary workers, attrition, and reductions in force. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we have reduced our headcount by 22%, or approximately 21,000 positions.
In connection with our manufacturing rationalization plan and in response to the current economic environment, we expect to incur total restructuring charges of approximately $375 million in fiscal 2009. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, cash spending related to restructuring was approximately $200 million. We expect total restructuring spending to be approximately $300 million in fiscal 2009. Cost savings related to these actions are expected to be $200 million in fiscal 2009. We expect annualized savings of approximately $300 million, consisting of $200 million of manufacturing cost reductions and $100 million of savings in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic net sales growth, which is included in the discussion below, is a non-GAAP financial measure. The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and organic net sales growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and divestitures. Organic net sales growth is a useful measure of the underlying results and trends in our business. It excludes items that are not completely under management's control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity.
51
We believe organic net sales growth provides useful information to investors because it reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business. Furthermore, it provides investors with a view of our operations from management's perspective. We use organic net sales growth to monitor and evaluate performance, as it is an important measure of the underlying results of our operations. Management uses organic net sales growth together with GAAP measures such as net sales growth and operating income in its decision making processes related to the operations of our reporting segments and our overall company. Organic net sales growth is also a component of our compensation programs. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating operations. The discussion and analysis of organic net sales growth in Results of Operations below utilizes organic net sales growth as management does internally. Because organic net sales growth calculations may vary among other companies, organic net sales growth amounts presented below may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. The primary limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on our net sales. This limitation is best addressed by evaluating organic net sales growth in combination with our GAAP net sales. The tables presented in Results of Operations below provide reconciliations of organic net sales growth to net sales growth calculated under GAAP.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased $1,274 million, or 33.7%, to $2,508 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $3,782 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, net sales decreased $3,239 million, or 30.0%, to $7,558 million, from $10,797 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. On an organic basis, net sales decreased 28.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 25.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, primarily as a result of declines in our Electronic Components, Specialty Products, and Network Solutions segments. Price erosion adversely affected net sales by $54 million and $136 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
52
2009, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro, negatively impacted net sales by $166 million, or 4.4%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and $429 million, or 4.0%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Gross Income. Gross income decreased by $512 million and gross income as a percentage of net sales decreased by 570 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, gross income decreased by $1,320 million and gross income as a percentage of net sales decreased by 490 basis points as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The decrease in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 over the same periods of fiscal 2008 was due to sales declines and unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs associated with reduced production levels related to lower sales and our efforts to reduce inventory levels. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009, our inventory has been reduced to levels we believe are appropriate given current business conditions.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 10.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 14.2% from 10.9% in the first nine months in fiscal 2008. Results for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 included a net loss of approximately $50 million primarily associated with economic hedges of certain anticipated future transactions and resulting primarily from the devaluation of certain eastern European currencies. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, selling, general, and administrative expenses included a $36 million gain on the sale of real estate related to our Electronic Components segment. Excluding these items, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 over the same periods of fiscal 2008, but increased as a percentage of net sales primarily due to decreases in sales volume.
Research, Development, and Engineering Expenses. Research, development, and engineering expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 5.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 4.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, research, development, and engineering expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 5.4% from 4.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The increase as a percentage of net sales in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 over the same periods of fiscal 2008 was due to decreases in sales volume as well as our continued focus on future technologies within all four of our operating segments.
Pre-Separation Litigation Charges, Net. We recorded charges of $7 million related to pre-Separation securities litigation in the quarter ended June 27, 2008. There were no such charges in the quarter ended June 26, 2009. In the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, we
54
recorded charges of $144 million and $30 million, respectively, related to pre-Separation securities litigation.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien settled five opt-out cases for $199 million. Pursuant to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, our share of the settlement amounts was $62 million. As we had previously established reserves for these opt-out cases, the settlements did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien agreed to settle for a total of $70 million, subject to the entry of a final order by the court approving the settlement, eight consolidated class actions brought under Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") against Tyco International and certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, which are subject to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the sharing formula, our share of the settlement amount is $22 million. As discussed below, we had previously established a reserve for this consolidated action.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded $11 million of charges related to the settlement of securities litigation captionedBallard v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and $4 million of income related to the recovery of certain costs from insurers.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien entered into definitive agreements to settle actions captionedHess v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. andSciallo v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and opt-out cases brought by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and related plaintiffs, and the Public Employees' Retirement Association of Colorado. Pursuant to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we recorded charges of $28 million for which no tax benefit was available. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded reserves totaling $375 million representing the best estimate of probable loss for the remaining securities litigation claims subject to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including remaining opt-out cases and cases arising under ERISA. As a result, we recorded a charge in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 of $116 million for our share of the reserves, for which no tax benefit was available.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we recorded charges of $23 million related to the settlement of securities litigation with the State of New Jersey. In addition, as discussed above, we recorded $11 million of charges related to the settlement of securities litigation captionedBallard v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and $4 million of income related to the recovery of certain costs from insurers.
These charges represent our share of the settlement costs in accordance with the sharing percentages included in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. See "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings" and Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement of pre-Separation securities litigation.
Restructuring and Other Charges, Net. Net restructuring and other charges were $63 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $16 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, net restructuring and other charges were $329 million as compared to $62 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Total charges, including amounts reflected in cost of sales, were $328 million and $63 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Increases resulted primarily from new actions initiated in fiscal 2009 to reduce costs in response to market conditions and primarily related to headcount reductions in the Electronic Components, Network Solutions, and Specialty Products segments. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding net restructuring and other charges.
Impairment of Goodwill. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3,435 million in our Electronic Components segment, of which $2,088 million
55
and $1,347 million related to the Automotive and Communications and Industrial Solutions reporting units, respectively. We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $112 million in our Specialty Products segment related to the Circuit Protection reporting unit. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impairment of goodwill.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $64 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $515 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. As discussed above, results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included restructuring and other charges of $63 million. Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 included restructuring and other charges of $16 million and pre-Separation litigation charges of $7 million. Excluding these items, lower sales levels and unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs associated with reduced production levels and the focus on reducing inventories, partially offset by cost reduction programs, drove the decrease in operating income.
Operating loss was $3,650 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to operating income of $1,458 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included goodwill impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, and pre-Separation litigation charges of $3,547 million, $328 million, and $144 million, respectively. In addition, results for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included a net loss of approximately $50 million primarily associated with economic hedges of certain anticipated future transactions and resulting primarily from the devaluation of certain eastern European currencies. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, operating income included a gain on the sale of real estate of $36 million, restructuring and other charges of $63 million, and pre-Separation litigation charges of $30 million. Excluding these items, the decreases in operating income resulted from lower sales levels and unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs associated with reduced production levels and the focus on reducing inventories, which were partially offset by cost reduction programs.

Organic net sales decreased $98 million, or 17.2%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
In the energy industry end market, our organic net sales decrease of 14.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to declines in the EMEA region driven by slower investment levels by utilities. In the service providers market, our organic net sales decrease of 12.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 reflected decreased capital spending of telecommunications companies. Our organic net sales in the enterprise networks market decreased 27.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 largely due to global declines in commercial construction and delayed investment in network upgrades.
59
Network Solutions' operating income decreased $35 million, or 53.0%, to $31 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $66 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline resulted from decreases in sales and unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs associated with reduced production levels and our targeted inventory reductions, which were partially offset by cost reduction programs and increased restructuring and other charges of $11 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Nine Months Ended June 26, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 27, 2008

Our organic net sales decrease of 6.8% in the energy industry end market in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was due to declines in Europe that were partially offset by increases in North America. Sales in Europe were negatively impacted by slower investment levels by utilities and reduced customer inventory levels. In North America, growth resulted from the upgrade of aging grids and the demand for alternate energy sources. In the service providers market, our organic net sales decline of 9.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was largely due to decreased spending levels at certain U.S. carriers and a general slowing of capital spending of telecommunications companies. In the enterprise networks market, our organic net sales decreased 18.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 as a result of global declines in commercial construction and delayed investment in network upgrades.
Network Solutions' operating income decreased $90 million, or 48.4%, to $96 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $186 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

Quarter Ended June 26, 2009 Compared to Quarter Ended June 27, 2008
Undersea Telecommunications' net sales increased $41 million, or 14.7%, to $319 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $278 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Undersea Telecommunications' organic net sales increased 14.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 reflecting project execution and progress on contracts in backlog.
62
Undersea Telecommunications' operating income increased $33 million, or 82.5%, to $73 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $40 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase was the result of project execution and a more favorable project mix as well as an increase in net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Nine Months Ended June 26, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 27, 2008
In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, Undersea Telecommunications' net sales increased $30 million, or 3.5%, to $893 million from $863 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Undersea Telecommunications' organic net sales increased 3.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 as revenue from new projects more than offset the reduction caused by the completion, in fiscal 2008, of a transoceanic system that connects the U.S. and China.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, Undersea Telecommunications' operating income increased $43 million, or 35.2%, to $165 million from $122 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Increased restructuring and other charges of $1 million and the decrease in income from the transoceanic system were more than offset by income from new projects and favorable project mix in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
Non-Operating Items
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $38 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, net interest expense was $112 million as compared to $119 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The decrease in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was driven by lower average debt levels resulting in lower interest expense offset by lower interest income.
Other Income, Net
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, we recorded net other income of $5 million and $1 million, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. In the nine months ended June 26, 2009, we recorded net other income of $7 million, primarily consisting of $9 million of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien offset by $2 million of unrealized losses on rabbi trust assets. In the nine months ended June 27, 2008, we recorded other income of $606 million, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien, of which $572 million related to certain incremental tax liabilities recorded by us upon the initial adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."
Income Taxes
We recorded a tax provision of $3 million, an effective income tax rate of 9.7%, for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 and recorded a tax provision of $191 million, an effective income tax rate of 40.0%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2008. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 reflects the tax benefits recognized in connection with fiscal 2009 profitability in certain entities operating in lower tax rate jurisdictions partially offset by accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals related to the estimated tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends as well as accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.
63
For the nine months ended June 26, 2009, we recognized a tax benefit of $577 million, an effective income tax rate of 15.4%, and for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 recorded a tax provision of $502 million, an effective income tax rate of 25.8%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 was impacted by the $3,547 million pre-tax impairment of goodwill for which a tax benefit was not fully recognized, as well as a $144 million pre-tax charge related to pre-Separation securities litigation, for which no tax benefit was recorded. For the nine months ended June 27, 2008, the effective tax rate includes the impact of $572 million of pre-tax income recognized in connection with our adoption of FIN 48, for which no tax was provided. In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes
Loss from discontinued operations was $100 million and income from discontinued operations was $45 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, loss from discontinued operations was $166 million and income from discontinued operations was $141 million, respectively.
In April 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Wireless Systems business. We completed the sale for $665 million in net cash proceeds and recognized a pre-tax gain of $55 million on this transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The proceeds and gain on sale are subject to a final working capital adjustment.
Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 included pre-tax charges of $111 million related to the Wireless Systems business's contract with the State of New York. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the State of New York contract. The income tax provision on discontinued operations for the quarter and nine months ended June 26, 2009 includes $68 million relating to the impact of $319 million of goodwill written off in connection with the divestiture of the Wireless Systems business, for which a tax benefit was not fully realized, as well as $35 million of adjustments to the estimated tax provision on a previously divested business as a result of the finalization of the tax basis of assets sold upon the filing of the fiscal 2008 income tax returns.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, in connection with the sale of our Power Systems business, we received $102 million in net cash proceeds and recorded a $56 million pre-tax gain on the sale.
See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Quarter Ended June 26, 2009 Compared to Quarter Ended June 27, 2008
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities decreased to $336 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $421 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily a result of lower income levels partially offset by working capital improvements.
We continue to fund capital expenditures to support new programs and to invest in machinery and our manufacturing facilities to further enhance productivity and manufacturing capabilities. Capital spending decreased $104 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to $61 million as compared to $165 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as we continue to closely manage our capital. We expect fiscal 2009 capital spending levels to be approximately $350 million.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we received net cash proceeds of $665 million related to the sale of our Wireless Systems business. Also, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we received additional cash proceeds of $10 million primarily related to the divestiture of the Battery Systems business.
The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was $15 million and $105 million, respectively. The decrease reflects lower taxable earnings levels.
Nine Months Ended June 26, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 27, 2008
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased to $829 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $325 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily driven by the class action settlement of $936 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
65
The finalization of the class action settlement resulted in a decrease to cash flows from operating activities and an increase to cash flows from investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2008. It did not affect the cash balance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet because we had previously fully funded our portion of the class action settlement into an escrow account intended to be used to settle the liability. Excluding the class action settlement, net cash provided by continuing operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was lower as compared to the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to lower income levels partially offset by working capital improvements.
Capital spending decreased $175 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to $270 million as compared to $445 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we received net cash proceeds of $665 million related to the sale of our Wireless Systems business. Also, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we received additional cash proceeds related to working capital of $29 million in connection with the sale of the Radio Frequency Components and Subsystem and Automotive Radar Sensors businesses which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and $16 million primarily related to the divestiture of the Battery Systems business.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we received $102 million in net cash proceeds related to the sale of the Power Systems business.
The amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was $87 million and $297 million, respectively. Refunds received in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included $15 million which was remitted to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Capitalization
Total debt at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008 was $2,579 million and $3,181 million, respectively. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding debt.
On June 9, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $150 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, up to $100 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and up to $100 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037. On July 7, 2009, the tender offer expired and on July 9, 2009, TEGSA purchased and cancelled $86 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, $42 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and $23 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037 for an aggregate payment of $141 million, plus paid accrued interest through July 7, 2009 of $3 million to the sellers of the notes. As a result of the transaction, in the quarter ending September 25, 2009, we will record a pre-tax gain of approximately $22 million, including the write-off of unamortized discounts and fees of $1 million and the recognition of a gain of $12 million associated with terminated interest rate swaps previously designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, as a result of the re-purchase and cancellation, unamortized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income of $3 million related to terminated starting forward interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges will be recognized as interest expense.
In April 2007, TEGSA entered into a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). In the quarter ended March 27, 2009, $75 million of the commitment was assigned by Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB to TEGSA, reducing the total effective commitment to $1,425 million. At June 26, 2009, TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.
66
At September 26, 2008, TEGSA had $647 million of commercial paper outstanding at an average interest rate of 4.01%. We have repaid and suspended our borrowings under the commercial paper program as a result of unfavorable market conditions.
Our Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant that requires us to limit our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to no more than 3.5 to 1.0. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. None of our covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations. As of June 26, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and believe that we will continue to be in compliance with our existing covenants for the foreseeable future.
On June 22, 2009, our shareholders approved a cash distribution to shareholders in the form of a capital reduction to the par value of our common shares of CHF 0.17 per share, which will be paid to holders of record on the record date upon effectiveness of the capital reduction. The record date and the payment date are expected to occur in the quarter ending September 25, 2009. This capital reduction will reduce the par value of our common shares from CHF 2.60 (equivalent to $2.40) to CHF 2.43 (equivalent to $2.24). The distribution will be paid in U.S. Dollars at a rate of $0.16 per share. In July 2009, our board of directors approved a capital reduction recommendation of $0.16 per share cash distribution for each of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2010. This capital reduction, and future distributions or dividends on our common shares, if any, must be approved by our shareholders. In exercising their discretion to recommend to the shareholders that such distributions or dividends be approved, our board of directors will consider our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, statutory requirements of applicable law, contractual restrictions, and other factors that they may deem relevant.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we did not purchase any of our common shares under our share repurchase program. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we purchased approximately 6 million of our common shares for $125 million. Also, during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we settled purchases of $27 million of our common shares which occurred prior to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Since inception of the share repurchase program, which has a current authorization of $2,000 million, we have purchased approximately 43 million shares for $1,394 million.
Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and our ability to access the capital markets, money markets, or other sources of financing, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements. We believe that cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, these other sources of potential funding are sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs for the foreseeable future. Also, we may use excess capital to reduce our outstanding debt levels, including the possible repurchase of our public debt in accordance with applicable law. Current economic conditions have negatively impacted cash generated from operations; however, we continue to believe that actions taken by management to reduce costs and working capital, along with other sources of liquidity, will enable us to meet our future capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future financing will not be impacted by continued financial market instability. We will continue to monitor financial markets, to respond as necessary to changing conditions.

Backlog
At June 26, 2009, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of $2,523 million compared to a backlog of $3,122 million at September 26, 2008. Backlog by reportable segment was as follows:

Income Tax Matters
In prior years, in connection with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audits of various fiscal years, Tyco International submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. The IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments for fiscal years 1997 through 2000 for which the IRS had completed its field work. On the basis of previously accepted amendments, we have determined that acceptance of adjustments presented for additional periods through fiscal 2005 is probable and, accordingly, have recorded them, as well as the impacts of the adjustments accepted by the IRS, on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During fiscal 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 1997 through 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agent Reports which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. Tyco International has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million. It is our understanding that Tyco International has appealed other proposed adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion and is vigorously defending its prior filed tax return positions. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. Any penalty imposed would be subject to sharing with Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement. It is our understanding that Tyco International is vigorously opposing the assertion of any such penalties. We continue to believe that the amounts recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to these matters are appropriate; however, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and, should Tyco International lose its appeal, it could result in a material impact to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Tyco International continues to complete proposed adjustments to the remainder of its U.S. federal income tax returns. In fiscal 2008, certain proposed adjustments to U.S. federal income tax returns were completed by Tyco International and presented to the IRS. In connection with the amendment process, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded the tax impacts of certain proposed adjustments to previously filed tax returns that resulted in a $31 million increase in income tax liabilities, a $5 million increase in deferred tax assets, an $18 million increase in the receivable from Tyco International and Covidien recorded in connection with the Tax Sharing Agreement, and an $8 million decrease in contributed surplus. In addition, in fiscal 2008, Tyco International, Covidien, and we completed and filed certain fiscal 2007 U.S. consolidated federal and state income tax returns which included a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and our subsidiaries. As our tax return positions continue to be updated, additional adjustments may be identified and recorded on the
68
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, we believe that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Additionally, adjustments may be recorded to shareholders' equity in the future for the impact of filing final or amended income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and/or our subsidiaries for the periods prior to the Separation.
Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, antitrust claims, product liability matters, environmental matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, and other commercial disputes. Management believes that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, one or more of the proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a future period. See "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings" and Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding legal proceedings.
Prior to the announcement of the planned separation in January 2006, Tyco International and certain former directors and officers were named as defendants in several lawsuits relating to securities class action, shareholder lawsuits, and ERISA related litigation. As a part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any existing or potential liabilities related to this outstanding litigation have been allocated among Tyco International, Covidien, and us. We are responsible for 31% of potential liabilities that may arise upon the settlement of the pending litigation. If Tyco International or Covidien were to default on their obligation to pay their allocated share of these liabilities, however, we would be required to pay additional amounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco International will manage and control all the legal matters related to assumed contingent liabilities, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations. The liability sharing provisions regarding these class actions are set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement among Tyco International, Covidien, and us.
Class Action Settlement
As previously reported, Tyco International settled 32 purported securities class action lawsuits arising from actions alleged to have been taken by its prior management. All legal contingencies that could have affected the final order approving the settlement expired on February 21, 2008. The settlement did not resolve all securities cases, and several remain outstanding. See "Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008 and Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings" of this report for additional information about these proceedings.
Settlement of Securities Proceedings Not Covered by the Class Action Settlement
As previously reported, in the first six months of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien entered into definitive agreements to settle actions captionedHess v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. andSciallo v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and opt-out cases brought by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and related plaintiffs, and the Public Employees' Retirement Association of Colorado. Pursuant to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we recorded charges of $28 million for which no tax benefit was available. Additionally, as previously reported, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded reserves totaling $375 million representing the best estimate of probable loss for the
69
remaining securities litigation claims subject to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. As a result, we recorded a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $116 million for our share of the reserves, for which no tax benefit was available.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien settled five of the remaining opt-out cases for $199 million. Pursuant to the sharing formula, our share of the settlement amounts was $62 million. As we had previously established reserves for these opt-out cases, the settlements did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien agreed to settle for a total of $70 million, subject to the entry of a final order by the court approving the settlement, eight consolidated class actions brought under ERISA against Tyco International and certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, which are subject to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the sharing formula, our share of the settlement amount is $22 million. As discussed above, we had previously established a reserve for this consolidated action.
Matters Related to the Company's Former Wireless Systems Business
Certain liabilities and contingencies related to our Wireless Systems business were retained by us when this business was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. These include certain retained liabilities related to the State of New York contract and a contingent purchase price commitment related to the acquisition of Com-Net by the Wireless Systems business in 2001. See additional information below. Also, see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the divestiture of the Wireless Systems business.
State of New York Contract
On September 19, 2005, we were awarded a twenty-year lease contract with the State of New York (the "State") to construct, operate, and maintain a statewide wireless communications network for use by state and municipal first responders. On August 29, 2008, we were served by the State with a default notice related to the first regional network, pursuant to the contract. Under the terms of the contract, we had 45 days to rectify the purported deficiencies noted by the State. On October 16, 2008, we informed the State that all technical deficiencies had been remediated and the system was operating in accordance with the contract specifications and certified the system ready for testing. The State conducted further testing during November and December 2008. On January 15, 2009, the State notified us that, in the State's opinion, we had not fully remediated the issues cited by the State and it had determined that we were in default of the contract and that it had exercised its right to terminate the contract. The State contends that it has the right under the contract to recoup costs incurred by the State in conjunction with the implementation of the network, and as a result of this contention, on January 16, 2009, the State drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by us. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit, although we dispute that the State has any basis to do so.
On February 13, 2009, we filed a claim in the New York Court of Claims, seeking over $100 million in damages, and alleging a number of causes of action, including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, defamation, conversion, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, the imposition of a constructive trust, and seeking a declaration that the State terminated the contract "for convenience." On April 8, 2009, the State filed a motion to dismiss all but the breach of contract claim, thereby automatically staying all discovery in the litigation. On April 27, 2009, we filed a motion to lift the automatic stay on discovery, and on May 14, 2009, we filed a brief in opposition to the State's motion to dismiss. The return date for both of these motions was set at May 20, 2009. Both motions are currently under consideration with the court.
70
As a result of these actions, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded pre-tax charges totaling $111 million associated with this contract. These charges are reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of our sale of the Wireless Systems business. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of discontinued operations and the sale of the Wireless Systems business. The charges included an impairment charge of $61 million to write-off all costs incurred in constructing the network as well as a charge equal to the amount drawn by the State against the standby letter of credit of $50 million. The assets related to the impairment charge were previously reflected primarily as inventory on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have not recognized any revenue related to the lease contract.
Com-Net
At June 26, 2009, we had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State of Florida has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, we do not believe we have any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested our position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which is in the motion pleading and discovery phase. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as we do not believe that any payment is probable or estimable at this time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Certain of our segments have guaranteed the performance of third parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from fiscal 2009 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
At June 26, 2009, we had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $341 million, of which $50 million was related to our contract with the State of New York. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the State of New York contract.
We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.
In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, except for the charges related to the contract with the State of New
71
York discussed below, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
As disclosed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in January 2009, the State of New York drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by us. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax charge equal to the draw. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit which could result in additional charges and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement, upon Separation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under these agreements, principally the Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco International, Covidien, and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters of Tyco International. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify us for 69% of certain liabilities settled by us with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, we have made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled by the companies with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. These arrangements have been valued upon our separation from Tyco International in accordance with FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," and, accordingly, liabilities amounting to $339 million were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008. See Notes 9 and 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We record estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding estimated product warranty.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.
Our accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, pension and postretirement benefits, and share-based compensation are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management. During the nine months ended June 26, 2009, there were no significant changes to these policies or to the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in these policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2009.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 165, "Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting and disclosure of events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to issuance of the financial statements. We adopted SFAS No. 165 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the required disclosures related to subsequent events.
72
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 28-1,"Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. It also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. We adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the required disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to provide improved transparency into the uses and financial statement impact of derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 was adopted by us in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the required disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In June 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 06-11, "Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards." EITF 06-11 requires that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalent units paid on non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units be reflected as an increase in contributed surplus and reflected as an addition to our excess tax benefit pool, as defined under SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." We adopted EITF 06-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In March 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements." We adopted EITF 06-10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, we recognized accrued and other current liabilities of $1 million and other liabilities of $4 million on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated earnings of $5 million.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, on a contract-by-contract basis, to make an irrevocable election to account for certain types of financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value, rather than historical cost, with changes in the fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recognized in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We did not elect to value any existing assets or liabilities at fair value upon adoption, nor did we apply the fair value option to any eligible assets acquired or liabilities incurred during the quarter.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We will adopt the non-financial asset and liability fair value provisions in fiscal 2010. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to fair value measurements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162." SFAS No. 168 introduces the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") that will serve as the single source of authoritative GAAP. Use of the Codification is effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the Codification is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
73
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,"Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." SFAS No. 167 addresses accounting for variable interest entities, amending FIN 46(R). SFAS No. 167 is effective us in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We are currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 167 will have on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1,"Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies." FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 addresses initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently assessing the impact that FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 will have on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, "Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets." FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 enhances disclosures regarding assets in defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 is effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently assessing the impact that FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following risks, which are described in greater detail in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008 and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 26, 2008 and March 27, 2009 and in this quarterly report could also cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements:
- •
- Current and future conditions in the global economy and global capital and credit markets;
- •
- Conditions affecting demand for products in the industries we serve, particularly the automotive industry and the telecommunications, computer, and consumer electronics industries;
- •
- Risk of future goodwill impairment;
- •
- Competition and pricing pressure;
- •
- Market acceptance of new product introductions and product innovations and product life cycles;
- •
- Financial condition and consolidation of customers and vendors;
- •
- Raw material availability, quality, and cost;
74
- •
- Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
- •
- Divestitures of businesses or product lines;
- •
- Declines in the market value of our pension plans' investment portfolios;
- •
- Reliance on third party suppliers;
- •
- Our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel;
- •
- Our ability to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for income taxes;
- •
- Risks of political, economic, and military instability in countries outside the U.S.;
- •
- Risks related to compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations;

- •
- Risks relating to our separation on June 29, 2007 from Tyco International Ltd.;

- •
- The impact of fluctuations in the market price of our shares; and
- •
- The impact of certain provisions of our articles of association on unsolicited takeover proposals.
There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, except the items discussed below. For further discussion of our exposures to market risk, refer to "Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008.
Foreign Currency Exposures
As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we use foreign exchange forward and swap contracts. The objective is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other cash transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar from the June 26, 2009 market rates would increase the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $2 million, while a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar would decrease the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $3 million. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar from the September 26, 2008 market rates would increase the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $95 million, while a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar would decrease the unrealized value of our forward contracts by $116 million. However, such gains or losses on these contracts would be generally offset by the gains or losses on the revaluation or settlement of the underlying transactions.
75
Interest Rate Exposures
We issue debt, from time to time, in capital and money markets to fund our operations. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure and to minimize overall interest cost, we have used, and may in the future use, interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the fixed-rate debt into variable rate debt (fair value hedges) and/or convert a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed-rate debt (cash flow hedges). During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of our 6.55% senior notes and $200 million principal amount of our 6.00% senior notes that had been outstanding as of September 26, 2008. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the termination of the interest rate swaps. At June 26, 2009, we had no floating rate debt outstanding. Based on our floating rate debt balance of $1,147 million at September 26, 2008, an increase in the levels of the U.S. Dollar interest rates by 0.5%, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase of annual interest expense of approximately $6 million at September 26, 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 26, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As discussed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008, we disclosed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for income taxes in our Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K on June 8, 2007. As a result of this material weakness, which was not remediated as of June 26, 2009, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 26, 2009.
Remediation Plan
During fiscal 2008, we enhanced our tax accounting resources and capabilities to remediate the material weakness indicated above and implemented new control processes and procedures. Improvements to our control processes included the following:
- •
- We implemented appropriately designed processes and controls and instituted multi-level management reviews.
- •
- We completed analysis and reconciliation of our tax accounts and recorded necessary adjustments while implementing sustainable reconciliation processes to ensure continued accuracy of these accounts.
- •
- We enhanced policies and procedures relating to tax account reconciliation and analysis.
- •
- We expanded tax accounting resources at both the corporate and regional levels with personnel experienced in accounting for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
76
- •
- We conducted training for both existing and newly hired tax accountants along with other accounting and finance personnel who are responsible for analyzing, documenting and accounting for taxes in their jurisdiction.
- •
- We increased accountability for accounting for income taxes by recording tax accounting at the legal entity, developed and communicated clear responsibilities and expectations, and implemented a multi-level review process.
- •
- We invested in additional information systems to improve control around newly implemented processes and enable more effective review.
Although we believe that the improvements in our control processes as designed are adequate to remediate the material weakness, we will not consider the material weakness to be remediated until the new processes operate for a sufficient period of time, and we are confident that they are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 26, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
77
Except as discussed below, there have been no material developments in our legal proceedings since we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 27, 2009. For a description of our previously reported legal proceedings, refer to "Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008 and to "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 26, 2008 and March 27, 2009.
Securities Proceedings
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien settled five of the remaining opt-out cases for which the plaintiffs had opted out of the class action settlement described under "Part 1. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Commitments and Contingencies-Class Action Settlement." Pursuant to the sharing formula contained in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, our share of the settlement amounts was $62 million. As we had previously established reserves for these opt-out cases, the settlements did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we, Tyco International, and Covidien agreed to settle for a total of $70 million, subject to the entry of a final order by the court approving the settlement, eight consolidated class actions brought under ERISA against Tyco International and certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, which are subject to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the sharing formula, our share of the settlement amount is $22 million. We had previously established a reserve for this consolidated action.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2008 and in "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 26, 2008 and March 27, 2009. The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, could materially affect our business operations, financial condition, or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
