*Textron is segregated into two borrowing groups, Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Textron Manufacturing's cash flows exclude the pre-tax income from Textron Finance in excess of dividends paid to Textron Manufacturing. All significant transactions between Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance have been eliminated from the Consolidated column provided on page 4.
See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
TEXTRON INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Textron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of Textron's consolidated financial position at April 1, 2006, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The results of operations for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Textron's financings are conducted through two borrowing groups: Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. This framework is designed to enhance Textron's borrowing power by separating the Finance segment. Textron Manufacturing consists of Textron Inc., the parent company, consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial business segments. Textron Manufacturing's cash flows include dividends received from Textron Finance but exclude its pre-tax income. Textron Finance consists of Textron's wholly owned commercial finance subsidiary, Textron Financial Corporation, consolidated with its subsidiaries, which are the entities through which Textron operates its Finance segment. Textron Finance obtains financing for its operations by borrowing from its own group of external creditors. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by Textron Manufacturing that is financed by Textron Finance.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, and in 2006, Textron has separately disclosed the operating, investing and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations, which in prior periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount. Prior 2005 interim periods have been revised to conform to this presentation.

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Stock Options
The stock option compensation cost calculated under the fair value approach is recognized over the vesting period of the stock options. The weighted-average fair value of options granted per share was $25 and $20 in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair values of options granted are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on Textron common stock, historical volatilities and other factors. Textron uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior, adjusted to reflect anticipated increases in expected life.
The weighted-average assumptions used in Textron's Black-Scholes option-pricing model for awards issued during the respective periods are as follows:
| |
| Three Months Ended |
| April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 |
Dividend yield | 2% | 2% |
Expected volatility | 25% | 25% |
Risk-free interest rate | 4% | 4% |
Expected lives (In years) | 6.0 | 6.0 |
The following table summarizes information related to stock option activity for the respective periods:
| |
| Three Months Ended |
(In millions) | April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 |
Intrinsic value of options exercised | $ 71 | $ 25 |

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Restricted Stock
The fair value of restricted stock is based on the trading price of Textron common stock on the date of grant, less required adjustments to reflect the fair value of the award as dividends are not paid or accrued until the restricted stock vests. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted in the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005 was approximately $82 and $71 per share, respectively.
Restricted stock activity under the Plan during the three months ended April 1, 2006 is as follows:
| | | | |
(Shares in thousands) | | Number of Shares
| | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at beginning of year, nonvested | | 1,156 | | $ 55.99 |

There were no special charges for the first quarter of 2006.
Textron continues to make payments against the restructuring reserves previously established. During the first quarter of 2006, $1 million of severance payments were made leaving $2 million of reserves for severance as of April 1, 2006. An additional $34 million of reserves for contract terminations also remain at April 1, 2006.

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies
Textron is subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of Textron's business, including proceedings and claims relating to private sector transactions; government contracts; production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental, safety, and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings and claims seek damages, fines, or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. As a government contractor, Textron is subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether its operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in Textron's suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, Textron believes that these proceedings and claims will not have a material effect on Textron's financial position or results of operations.
During 2002, the Lycoming aircraft engine business, in conjunction with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), recalled approximately 950 turbocharged airplane engines and mandated the inspection of another 736 engines to replace potentially faulty crankshafts manufactured by a former third-party supplier. Lycoming initiated a comprehensive customer care program to replace the defective crankshafts, make any necessary related repairs, and compensate its customers for the loss of use of their aircraft during the recall. This program has been completed. Textron has continued to monitor the performance of the crankshafts previously supplied by the former supplier to ensure their continued suitability for their intended use and to ensure that the existing reserves are adequate to cover the costs directly related to potential crankshaft issues that may not specifically be a part of the prior recall program. In 2005, Lycoming issued a service bulletin covering certain non-turbocharged aircraft engines, amended later in 2005 to include additional engines, to replace crankshafts manufactured by the former supplier with new FAA-certified crankshafts. Including the amendment, the service bulletin covers approximately 1,425 crankshafts and requires the affected crankshafts to be replaced within the earlier of the next 50 hours of operation or six months. An additional $8 million was accrued in 2005 to increase existing reserves.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, Lycoming developed a plan to institute a retirement program for approximately 5,100 crankshafts, representing the remaining crankshafts manufactured by the former supplier using the same forging technique as the crankshafts covered by prior service bulletins. A service bulletin was issued in the first quarter of 2006 implementing this plan, which requires the retirement of an affected crankshaft at the next crankshaft access or scheduled overhaul, whichever occurs first, but not to exceed three calendar years from the issuance of the service bulletin. There have been no accidents involving these crankshafts, and they have not been the subject of a recall. An additional reserve of $10 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cover the expected cost of this planned retirement program. As of April 1, 2006, reserves to cover costs directly related to crankshafts provided by the former supplier totaled $21 million.
In connection with the recall, the former supplier filed a lawsuit against Lycoming claiming that the former supplier had been wrongly blamed for aircraft engine failures resulting from its crankshaft forging process and that Lycoming's design was the cause of the engine failures. In February 2005, a jury returned a verdict against Lycoming for $86 million in punitive damages, $2.7 million in expert fees and $1.7 million in increased insurance costs. The jury also found that the former supplier's claim that it had incurred $5.3 million in attorneys' fees was reasonable. Judgment was entered on the verdict on March 29, 2005, awarding the former supplier $9.7 million in alleged compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and $86 million in alleged punitive damages. While the ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot be assured, management strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes that it is probable that the verdict will be reversed through the appellate process.

Note 9: Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland North America Inc. ("AWNA") formed the AgustaWestlandBell LLC ("AWB LLC") in January 2004 for the joint design, development, manufacture, sale, customer training and product support of the US101 helicopter, recently designated the VH-71 helicopter, and certain variations and derivatives thereof, to be offered and sold to departments or agencies of the U.S. Government.
In March 2005, AWB LLC received a $1.2 billion cost reimbursement-type subcontract from Lockheed Martin for the System Development and Demonstration phase of the U.S. Marine Corps Marine 1 Helicopter Squadron (VH-71) Program. On March 11, 2005, Bell Helicopter guaranteed to Lockheed Martin the due and prompt performance by AWB LLC of all its obligations under this subcontract, provided that Bell Helicopter's liability under the guaranty shall not exceed 49% of AWB LLC's aggregate liability to Lockheed Martin under the subcontract. AgustaWestland N.V., AWNA's parent company, has guaranteed the remaining 51% to Lockheed Martin. Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland N.V. have entered into cross-indemnification agreements in which each party indemnifies the other related to any payments required under these agreements that result from the indemnifying party's workshare under any subcontracts received.
For 2006, AWB LLC's maximum obligation is 40% of the total contract value, which equates to $464 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion, and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter's liability under the guarantee will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
In connection with the disposition of Trim, certain operating leases were transferred and assigned to Collins & Aikman Corporation ("C&A"). Textron has guaranteed C&A's payments under these operating leases and an environmental matter up to an aggregate remaining amount of approximately $24 million. Textron would be required to make payments under the guarantees upon default by C&A. The original purchase and sale agreement provided an indemnification agreement with C&A for Textron's guarantees of the leases and the environmental matter. In May 2005, C&A and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and in July 2005, C&A's European subsidiaries filed a group-wide administration order in the United Kingdom. These filings effectively reduced Textron's ability to seek recourse from C&A under the indemnity provisions of the purchase and sale agreement, should a default occur. Textron has not received any significant default notices related to these leases, and management believes C&A will continue to make payments. As part of C&A's announced plan to sell its European operations, Textron has reached a tentative agreement to settle its guarantee related to C&A's lease of certain European facilities. To the extent possible, Textron will seek reimbursement from C&A for any amounts it is required to pay for these matters. Management will continue to monitor C&A's performance and Textron's reserves related to these matters. Textron's reserves totaled $9 million at April 1, 2006 based on management's best estimate of Textron's exposure under these guarantees.
As disclosed under the caption "Guarantees" in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Textron has issued or is party to certain other guarantees. As of April 1, 2006, there has been no material change to these other guarantees.

Note 10: Segment Information
Textron reports under the following segments: Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance. Textron evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. Segment profit for the Manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, special charges, and gains and losses from the disposition of significant business units. The measurement for the Finance segment includes both interest income and expense and excludes special charges. Provisions for losses on finance receivables involving the sale or lease of Textron products are recorded by the selling manufacturing division when Textron Finance has recourse to Textron Manufacturing.
A summary of continuing operations by segment for the three-month periods ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005 is as follows:

Note 11: Subsequent Events
In December 2005, Textron's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Textron Fastening Systems business. With this approval, Textron committed to actively market the segment and expected to complete the sale within 12 months. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Fastening Systems segment was reported as a discontinued operation.
In the first quarter of 2006, Textron's management commenced its marketing efforts including establishing the proposed deal structure and identifying potential buyers. Formal negotiations have been commenced with a number of potential purchasers and specific terms and conditions have been discussed including the impact on the sales price of depreciation, currency exchange fluctuation, the assumption of liabilities, as well as the transfer of pension related obligations and assets.
13.
Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On May 4, 2006, as a result of the offers received from potential purchasers of substantially all of the business of the segment, and the additional obligations that Textron now estimates will need to be settled as part of the sale, Textron determined that the net assets of discontinued operations related to the Textron Fastening Systems business may exceed the fair value less costs to sell. Consequently, Textron determined that it will incur a non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006 in the range of $75 million to $150 million.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Business Overview
Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that leverages its global network of businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services in four business segments: Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance. Textron is known around the world for its powerful brands spanning the business jet, aerospace and defense, plastic fuel systems, golf car and turf-care markets, among others.
We had a strong start to the year as we were able to deliver organic growth (sales from existing business, excluding the effects of foreign exchange and mergers and acquisition activity) of 18%, which is the result of our commitment to bring new products and services to our customers and strong end markets. Backlog in the aircraft businesses grew to nearly $10 billion in the first quarter. Industrial business volume increased as a result of improvements in end markets. Additionally, the Finance segment's average finance receivables increased.
During the first quarter of 2006, the higher manufacturing sales volume and increased pricing more than offset inflation, higher pension costs and the impact of increased costs on the H-1 contract at Bell. At Textron Systems, production of armored vehicles is on track to reach our production goal of approximately 450 units this year.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues increased $362 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher volume of $315 million across all the manufacturing segments, especially in the aircraft businesses and higher pricing of $52 million. Higher Finance revenues also contributed $41 million to the increase. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange of $28 million and the 2005 divestiture of non-core product lines in the Industrial segment of $28 million.
Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $34 million. Major drivers included a $67 million contribution from higher manufacturing sales volume, increased manufacturing pricing of $52 million and higher profit in the Finance segment of $16 million, partially offset by inflation of $62 million, an unfavorable mix of $16 million and the impact of the H-1 program of $13 million.
Special Charges
Special charges for the first quarter of 2005 included a $52 million impairment charge of preferred shares in Collins & Aikman Products Co. and $2 million in restructuring costs related to Textron's company-wide restructuring program that was completed as of the end of 2005. There were no special charges for the first quarter of 2006.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate is provided below:
| Q1 2006 | Q1 2005 |
Federal statutory income tax rate | 35.0% | 35.0% |
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: | | |
State income taxes | 1.6 | 1.4 |
C&A impairment valuation allowance | - | 6.9 |
Foreign tax rate differential | (3.1) | (4.3) |
Favorable tax settlements | (5.6) | - |
ESOP dividends | (0.7) | (0.9) |
Export sales benefit | (1.1) | (1.0) |
Other, net | (0.3) | (2.2) |
Effective income tax rate | 25.8% | 34.9% |
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2006 was lower primarily due to a $12 million benefit as a result of a favorable tax settlement of a prior year tax dispute. The effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 29% to 30%.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations include the Textron Fastening Systems business in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, and the InteSys business in the first quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, Textron Fastening Systems' net income increased $15 million, compared to 2005, primarily due to the $10 million after-tax impact of suspending depreciation and amortization of assets held for sale and an after-tax foreign exchange translation gain of $5 million. In the first quarter of 2005, Textron recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $47 million associated with the sale of the InteSys business.
Outlook
We expect continued revenue growth for the balance of 2006 and overall segment profit for the year is expected to increase over 2005 as we continue to implement our transformation strategy. At Cessna, we anticipate another strong year of business jet deliveries in 2006 resulting in increases in total revenues and profits. At the Industrial segment, our outlook on profit margins has improved with higher margins expected in 2006 compared with 2005, while revenues remain essentially flat. At Bell, we expect revenues for the full year to increase over 2005, while profit margins are expected to decrease primarily due to certain nonrecurring items that benefited the 2005 results as well as higher estimated costs on Lot 1 of the H-1 Low Rate Initial Production contract ("H-1 LRIP"). Finance segment revenues and profits are expected to increase with growth in the managed Finance receivable portfolio and relative stability in credit quality.

Bell | | |
| Three Months Ended | |
(In millions) | April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 | | |
Revenue | $ 783 | $ 616 | | |
Segment profit | 69 | 75 | | |
Bell Revenues
U.S. Government Business
U.S. Government revenues increased $177 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher volume of $86 million from the V-22 program, increased deliveries of armored security vehicles ("ASV") worth $53 million and $28 million in revenue for the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter ("ARH") program.
Commercial Business
Commercial revenues decreased $10 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to lower international military sales of $73 million, partially offset by higher other commercial aircraft volume of $67 million.
Bell Segment Profit
U.S. Government Business
Profit in the U.S. Government business increased $10 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher profit on the V-22 program resulting from the $6 million impact of higher volume and $6 million of favorable performance, and the $5 million impact of higher ASV volume. These increases were partially offset by $13 million to reflect the impact of estimated incremental costs for resources added to the H-1 LRIP contract to meet customer schedule requirements. While the related costs will be expended over the next several quarters, the full impact was recorded in the first quarter as the H-1 LRIP contract is in a loss position. Operational Evaluation of the H-1 aircraft is scheduled to begin in early May and a Defense Acquisition Board meeting is scheduled at the end of May to assess overall performance of the H-1 program. As with any government contract, the U. S. Government can terminate or modify the contract for its convenience, however management believes that Bell will meet the contract and customer requirements.
The ARH contract did not have a significant profit impact in the first quarter and is not expected to significantly affect profit during the System Development and Demonstration phase.
17.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
During the first quarter, the U.S. Government completed a review of Bell Helicopter's earned value management system. This review identified deficiencies in certain areas. As a result, Bell Helicopter is not allowed to claim it has a compliant earned value management system in proposals, and it also is subject to increased withholding on progress payments. Textron does not expect this issue to have a material financial impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations, and is working with the U.S. Government to develop a corrective action plan that will address all the deficiencies identified in this review.
Commercial Business
Commercial profit decreased $16 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to the $29 million impact of lower international military sales volume and higher net research and development expense of $5 million, partially offset by the $23 million impact from higher volume in other commercial aircraft and mix.
Bell Helicopter Backlog
Bell Helicopter's backlog was $3.0 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2006, compared to $2.8 billion as of year-end 2005.
Cessna | | |
| Three Months Ended | |
(In millions) | April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 | | |
Revenue | $ 869 | $ 713 | | |
Segment profit | 117 | 87 | | |
Cessna Revenues
Cessna revenue increased $156 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher Citation business jet and used aircraft volume of $85 million and $22 million, respectively, and favorable pricing of $35 million.
Cessna Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $30 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher pricing of $35 million and impact of higher volume of $26 million. These increases were partially offset by inflation of $23 million and capabilities investment of $8 million, including higher start-up costs for new models, increased infrastructure costs and Lean initiatives. During the first quarter, Cessna recorded a benefit of $9 million reflecting favorable warranty performance compared to a benefit of $8 million recorded in 2005.
Cessna Backlog
Cessna's backlog was $6.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2006, compared to $6.3 billion as of year-end 2005.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Industrial Revenues
The Industrial segment's revenues decreased $2 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to the unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $28 million and the divestiture of non-core product lines of $28 million, partially offset by higher volume of $48 million and higher pricing of $6 million.
Industrial Segment Profit
Segment profit decreased $6 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, mainly due to $ 22 million of inflation, offset by the impact of higher volume of $16 million and higher pricing of $6 million.
Finance | | |

Revenue | $ 182 | $ 141 | | |
Segment profit | 49 | 33 | | |
Finance Revenues
The Finance segment's revenues increased $41 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with 2005. The increase was due to a higher interest rate environment, which accounted for $24 million of the increase, and $17 million related to $948 million in higher average finance receivables. The increase in average finance receivables was related to core portfolio growth, partially offset by a $98 million reduction in the liquidating portfolios.
Finance Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $16 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with 2005, primarily due to a $13 million increase in net interest margin, primarily attributable to the growth in core receivables, and a $3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses as a result of sustained improvements in portfolio quality. Operating expenses were unchanged, reflecting an improvement in operating expenses as a percentage of average managed and serviced receivables to 1.91% from 2.03% in the corresponding period of 2005. This improvement in operating performance reflects continued process improvement initiatives, which have enabled us to leverage our infrastructure while we grow our Finance receivable portfolio.
Finance Portfolio Quality
The following table presents information about the credit quality of the Finance segment's portfolio:
| | |
| April 1, | December 31, |
(In millions, except for ratios) | 2006 | 2005 |
| | |
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of finance assets | 1.55% | 1.53% |
Allowance for losses on finance receivables as a percentage of finance receivables | 1.39%
| 1.43%
|
Allowance for losses on finance receivables as a percentage of nonaccrual finance receivables | 102.1%
| 108.6%
|
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables | 0.67% | 0.79% |
19.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Textron Finance's nonperforming assets include nonaccrual accounts that are not guaranteed by Textron Manufacturing, for which interest has been suspended, and repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets by business are as follows:
| | |
| April 1, | December 31, |
(In millions) | 2006 | 2005 |
Resort finance | $ 28 | $ 31 |
Asset-based lending | 23 | 6 |
Golf finance | 13 | 13 |
Aircraft finance | 11 | 14 |
Distribution finance | 2 | 2 |
Other | 43 | 45 |
Total nonperforming assets | $ 120 | $ 111 |
We believe that nonperforming assets will generally be in the range of 1% to 4% of finance assets depending on economic conditions. Nonperforming asset levels remained relatively unchanged from the end of 2005 in most of the businesses, with the exception of Asset-based lending. The increase in this business is primarily attributable to two loans, which we do not believe represents a trend.
Share-Based Compensation
During the first quarter of 2005, Textron elected to adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123-R"), using the modified prospective method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123-R resulted in recognition of stock option expense for continuing operations of approximately $4 million and $3 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively.
Textron granted approximately 991,000 and 1,201,000 options in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, at weighted average grant date fair values per option of $25 and $20. The valuation of stock options requires numerous assumptions. Textron determines the fair value of each option as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires inputs for the expected volatility of Textron's common stock price, expected life of the option, and expected dividend yield, among others. In addition, we estimate the number of options expected to eventually vest. Expected volatility estimates are based on implied volatilities from traded options on Textron common stock, historical volatilities and other factors. Textron uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior, adjusted to reflect anticipated increases in expected life.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Textron's financings are conducted through two borrowing groups: Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. This framework is designed to enhance Textron's borrowing power by separating the Finance segment. To support creditors in evaluating the separate borrowing groups, Textron presents separate balance sheets and statements of cash flow for each borrowing group. Textron Manufacturing consists of Textron Inc., the parent company, consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial business segments, whose financial results are a reflection of the ability to manage and finance the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services. Textron Finance consists of Textron's wholly owned commercial finance subsidiary, Textron Financial Corporation, consolidated with its subsidiaries. The financial results of Textron Finance are a reflection of its ability to provide financial services in a competitive marketplace, at appropriate pricing, while managing the associated financial risks. The fundamental differences between each borrowing group's activities result in different measures used by investors, rating agencies and analysts.
20.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
A portion of Textron Finance's business involves financing retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by Textron Manufacturing's Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments. The cash flows related to these captive financing activities are reflected as operating activities (by Textron Manufacturing) and as investing activities (by Textron Finance) based on each group's operations. These captive financing transactions have been eliminated and cash from customers or from securitizations is recognized in operating activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows when received.
Textron Manufacturing's debt (net of cash)-to-capital ratio as of April 1, 2006 was 29%, compared with 26% at December 31, 2005. Textron Manufacturing's gross debt-to-capital ratio as of April 1, 2006 was 36%, compared with 37% at December 31, 2005. Textron Manufacturing has established a gross debt-to-capital ratio target in the mid-thirties.
For liquidity purposes, Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance have a policy of maintaining sufficient unused lines of credit to support their outstanding commercial paper. Textron Manufacturing has a primary revolving credit facility of $1.3 billion that was set to expire in 2010. In April 2006, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date to 2011. Textron Finance is permitted to borrow under this facility. Textron Finance also has bank lines of credit of $1.5 billion, of which $500 million was set to expire in July 2006 and $1.0 billion in 2010. In April 2006, these facilities were combined into a single facility expiring in 2011, and the amount of available credit was increased to $1.75 billion. None of these lines of credit were drawn at April 1, 2006 or at December 31, 2005. At April 1, 2006, the lines of credit not reserved as support for commercial paper or letters of credit were $1.2 billion for Textron Manufacturing and $354 million for Textron Finance, compared with $1.2 billion and $300 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.
At April 1, 2006, Textron Finance had $2.2 billion in debt and $453 million in other liabilities that are due within the next twelve months.
Operating Cash Flows of Continuing Operations | Three Months Ended |
(In millions) | April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 |
Consolidated | $ 77 | $ 79 |
Textron Manufacturing | $ 128 | $ 159 |
Textron Finance | $ 100 | $ 75 |
In the first quarter of 2006, operating cash flows of continuing operations on a consolidated basis were consistent with the first quarter of 2005. These consolidated cash flows exclude net captive financing activity (cash outflows from finance receivable originations, net of cash inflows from repayments, sales and securitizations) between Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. Textron Manufacturing's cash flows included $73 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $52 million in the first quarter of 2005, of cash received as a result of Textron Finance financing sales of Textron Manufacturing products. The decrease in Textron Manufacturing's cash flows was attributed largely to a decrease in dividends from Textron Finance that was only partially offset by an increase in income from operations.
Dividends received by Textron Manufacturing from Textron Finance have been eliminated from the consolidated operating cash flows, and net captive financing activities have been reclassified from investing cash flows, as discussed below.
Investing Cash Flows of Continuing Operations | Three Months Ended |
(In millions) | April 1, 2006 | April 2, 2005 |

Textron Finance | $ (488) | $ (403) |
21.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
The consolidated cash flows used for investing activities increased largely due to finance receivable originations, net of cash collections from repayments, sales and securitizations at Textron Finance.
The consolidated investing cash flows include the reclassification of net captive financing activities to operating cash flows of $73 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $52 million in the first quarter of 2005.
Financing Cash Flows of Continuing Operations | Three Months Ended |

Consolidated | $ 157 | $ 184 |
Textron Manufacturing | $ (293) | $ (178) |
Textron Finance | $ 388 | $ 265 |
The consolidated cash flows provided by financing activities in 2006 decreased primarily due to additional purchases of Textron common stock, offset by an increase in proceeds from employee stock ownership plans. In 2005, long-term debt issuances were primarily utilized to retire maturing long-term debt. In 2006 long-term debt issuances at Textron Finance were used to fund receivable growth.
Principal Payments on Long-Term Debt
In the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, Textron Manufacturing made principal payments of $2 million and $413 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, Textron Finance made principal payments of $50 million and $324 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchases and Proceeds from Stock Option Exercises
In the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, Textron repurchased 2,576,572 and 1,671,428 shares of common stock, respectively, under its Board authorized share repurchase programs for an aggregate cost of $219 million and $124 million, respectively. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options increased $60 million to $107 million in the first quarter of 2006 as more options were exercised.
Dividends
On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a $0.15 per share increase in Textron's annualized common stock dividend to $1.55 per share and, accordingly, approved a quarterly dividend of $0.3875 for holders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2006. Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $97 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $95 million in the first quarter of 2005.

Cash flows from discontinued operations include Textron Manufacturing's Fastening Systems, Omniquip, and InteSys businesses. The change in operating cash flow is primarily attributable to Textron Fastening Systems. In the first quarter of 2005, investing cash flows include the receipt of $15 million related to the sale of the remainder of the InteSys operations.
22.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Capital Resources
Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Textron Finance may issue public debt securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $4 billion. Under this registration statement, Textron Finance issued $470 million of term debt and CAD 87 million of term debt during the first quarter of 2006. The proceeds of these issuances were used to fund receivable growth and repay short-term debt. At April 1, 2006, Textron Finance had $1.2 billion available under this registration statement. Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Textron Manufacturing may issue public debt securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $2.0 billion. At April 1, 2006, Textron Manufacturing had $1.6 billion available under this registration statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Textron Manufacturing enters into a forward contract in Textron common stock on an annual basis. The contract is intended to hedge the cash volatility of stock-based incentive compensation indexed to Textron common stock. The forward contract requires an annual cash settlement between the counter parties based upon a number of shares multiplied by the difference between the strike price and the prevailing Textron common stock price. A cash payment of approximately $12 million was received in January 2006 upon the settlement of the contract held at year-end. As of April 1, 2006, the contract was for approximately 1.6 million shares with a strike price of $77.62. The market price of Textron's common stock was $93.39 at April 1, 2006, resulting in a receivable of $25 million.
Textron Finance sells finance receivables utilizing both securitizations and whole-loan sales. As a result of these transactions, finance receivables are removed from the balance sheet and the proceeds received are used to reduce the recorded debt levels. Despite the reduction in the recorded balance sheet position, Textron Finance generally retains a subordinated interest in the finance receivables sold through securitizations, which may affect operating results through periodic fair value adjustments. Textron Finance utilizes these off-balance sheet financing arrangements (primarily asset-backed securitizations) to further diversify funding alternatives. These arrangements are an important source of funding that provided net proceeds from continuing operations of $26 million in the first quarter of 2005. Textron Finance did not increase its utilization of these arrangements in the first quarter of 2006.
Guarantees
Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland North America Inc. ("AWNA") formed the AgustaWestlandBell LLC ("AWB LLC") in January 2004 for the joint design, development, manufacture, sale, customer training and product support of the US101 helicopter, recently designated the VH-71 helicopter, and certain variations and derivatives thereof, to be offered and sold to departments or agencies of the U.S. Government.
In March 2005, AWB LLC received a $1.2 billion cost reimbursement-type subcontract from Lockheed Martin for the System Development and Demonstration phase of the U.S. Marine Corps Marine 1 Helicopter Squadron (VH-71) Program. On March 11, 2005, Bell Helicopter guaranteed to Lockheed Martin the due and prompt performance by AWB LLC of all its obligations under this subcontract, provided that Bell Helicopter's liability under the guaranty shall not exceed 49% of AWB LLC's aggregate liability to Lockheed Martin under the subcontract. AgustaWestland N.V., AWNA's parent company, has guaranteed the remaining 51% to Lockheed Martin. Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland N.V. have entered into cross-indemnification agreements in which each party indemnifies the other related to any payments required under these agreements that result from the indemnifying party's workshare under any subcontracts received.
23.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
For 2006, AWB LLC's maximum obligation is 40% of the total contract value, which equates to $464 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion, and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter's liability under the guarantee will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
As disclosed under the caption "Guarantees" in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Textron has issued or is party to certain other guarantees. As of April 1, 2006, there has been no material change to these other guarantees.
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In the first quarter of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-An amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" ("SFAS 155"). SFAS 155 requires evaluation of all interests in securitized financial assets to determine whether they represent either freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. These interests were previously exempted from such evaluation in Statement No. 133. The statement permits any hybrid instrument, such as an interest in securitized financial assets containing an embedded derivative, to be accounted for at fair value as opposed to bifurcating and accounting for the embedded derivative separately from the host instrument. The statement also amends Statement No. 140 by eliminating restrictions on a qualifying special purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests that are, or contain, a derivative financial instrument. Textron will adopt SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007. At April 1, 2006, Textron has not completed its evaluation of the impact of this statement on its interests in securitized financial assets.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 156") in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to, and over, the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation. The option to subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value will allow entities which utilize derivative instruments to hedge their servicing rights to account for such hedging relationships at fair value and avoid the complications of hedge accounting under Statement No. 133. Textron does not utilize derivative instruments to hedge its servicing rights as of April 1, 2006. Textron will adopt SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007 and will likely utilize the amortization method to subsequently measure its servicing rights. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations as the consolidated balance sheets do not contain a significant balance of servicing assets at April 1, 2006.
Foreign Exchange Risks
Textron's financial results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which products are manufactured and/or sold. For the first quarter of 2006, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes from the first quarter of 2005 decreased revenues by approximately $28 million (1.2%) and decreased segment profit by approximately $2 million (0.9%).

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK | |
| There has been no significant change in Textron's exposure to market risk during the first quarter of 2006. For discussion of Textron's exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk contained in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES | |
| We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. | |
| There were no changes in Textron's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. | |
26.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
As previously reported in Textron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, two identical lawsuits, purporting to be class actions on behalf of Textron benefit plans and participants and beneficiaries of those plans during 2000 and 2001, were filed in 2002 in the United States District Court in Rhode Island against Textron, the Textron Savings Plan and the Plan's trustee. A consolidated amended complaint alleges breach of certain fiduciary duties under ERISA, based on the amount of Plan assets invested in Textron stock during 2000 and 2001. The complaint seeks equitable relief and compensatory damages on behalf of various Textron benefit plans and the participants and beneficiaries of those plans during 2000 and 2001 to compensate for alleged losses relating to Textron stock held as an asset of those plans. Textron's Motion to Dismiss the consolidated amended complaint was granted on June 24, 2003. On May 7, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed dismissal of all claims against the Plan's trustee and against the Plan itself, and also affirmed dismissal of certain other claims against Textron. However, the Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs should be permitted to attempt to develop their breach of fiduciary duty claims, and remanded those claims to the District Court. On March 1, 2006, the District Court entered summary judgment for Textron. The plaintiff has subsequently filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the First Circuit. Textron believes this lawsuit is without merit and will defend the appeal vigorously.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those discussed below, which may affect the value of our securities. The risks discussed below are those that we believe are currently the most significant, although additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant may also impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially.
We may be unable to effectively mitigate pricing pressures.
In some markets, particularly where we deliver component products and services to original equipment manufacturers, we face ongoing customer demands for price reductions, which are sometimes contractually obligated. In some cases, we are able to offset these reductions through technological advances or by lowering our cost base through improved operating and supply chain efficiencies. However, if we are unable to effectively mitigate future pricing pressures, our financial results of operations could be adversely affected.
Delays in aircraft delivery schedules or cancellation of orders may adversely affect our financial results.
Aircraft customers, including sellers of fractional share interests, may respond to weak economic conditions by delaying delivery of orders or canceling orders. Weakness in the economy may also result in fewer hours flown on existing aircraft and, consequently, lower demand for spare parts and maintenance. Weak economic conditions may also cause reduced demand for used business jets. We may accept used aircraft on trade-in that would be subject to fluctuations in the fair market value of the aircraft while in inventory. Reduced demand for new and used business jets, spare parts and maintenance can have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
27.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.
Delays or cost overruns in the development and acceptance of new products, or certification of new aircraft products and other products, could affect our financial results of operations. These delays could be caused by unanticipated technological hurdles, production changes to meet customer demands, coordination with joint venture partners or failure on the part of our suppliers to deliver components as agreed. We also could be adversely affected if the general efficacy of our research and development investments to develop products is less than expected.
We have customer concentration with the U.S. Government.
During 2005, we derived approximately 18% of our revenue from sales to a variety of U.S. Government entities. Our ability to compete successfully for and retain this business is highly dependent on technical excellence, management proficiency, strategic alliances, cost-effective performance and the ability to recruit and retain key personnel. U.S. Government programs are subject to uncertain future funding levels, which can result in the extension or termination of programs. Our business is also highly sensitive to changes in national and international priorities and U.S. Government budgets.
U.S. Government contracts may be terminated at any time and may contain other unfavorable provisions.
The U.S. Government typically can terminate or modify any of its contracts with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.
If any of our contracts are terminated by the U.S. Government, our backlog would be reduced by the expected value of the remaining terms of such contracts, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, on those contracts for which we are teamed with others and are not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate a prime contract under which we are a subcontractor, irrespective of the quality of our services as a subcontractor.
In addition to unfavorable termination provisions, our U.S. Government contracts contain provisions that allow the U.S. Government to unilaterally suspend us from receiving new contracts pending resolution of alleged violations of procurement laws or regulations, reduce the value of existing contracts, issue modifications to a contract, and control and potentially prohibit the export of our products, services and associated materials.
28.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
Cost overruns on U.S. Government contracts could subject us to losses or adversely affect our future business.
Contract and program accounting require judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. Incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees are also used in estimating sales and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards.
Because of the significance of the estimates described above, it is likely that different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future financial results of operations.
Under fixed-price contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur, and consequently, any costs in excess of the fixed price are absorbed by us. Under time and materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses. Under cost reimbursement contracts, which are subject to a contract-ceiling amount, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance based. However, if our costs exceed the contract ceiling or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or applicable regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all such costs. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control costs we incur in performing under the contract, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Cost overruns also may adversely affect our ability to sustain existing programs and obtain future contract awards.
We may make acquisitions that increase the risks of our business.
We may enter into acquisitions in the future in an effort to enhance shareholder value. Acquisitions involve a certain amount of risks and uncertainties that could result in our not achieving expected benefits. Such risks include difficulties in integrating newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner; challenges in achieving expected strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits; the risk that the acquired businesses' markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets; the risk that we pay a purchase price that exceeds what the future results of operations would have merited; the potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses; and the risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations.
Our operations could be adversely affected by interruptions of production that are beyond our control.
Our business and financial results may be affected by certain events that we cannot anticipate or that are beyond our control, such as natural disasters and national emergencies, that could curtail production at our facilities and cause delayed deliveries and cancelled orders. In addition, we purchase components and raw materials and information technology and other services from numerous suppliers, and even if our facilities are not directly affected by such events, we could be affected by interruptions at such suppliers. Such suppliers may be less likely than our own facilities to be able to quickly recover from such events, and may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations.
29.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
Our business could be adversely affected by strikes or work stoppages and other labor issues.
Approximately 18,500 of our employees are unionized, which represented approximately 40% of our employees at December 31, 2005, including employees of the discontinued business of Textron Fastening Systems. As a result, we may experience work stoppages, which could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, resulting in strain on our relationships with our customers and a loss of revenues. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in responding to competitive pressures in the marketplace, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
In addition to our workforce, the workforces of many of our customers and suppliers are represented by labor unions. Work stoppages or strikes at the plants of our key customers could result in delayed or cancelled orders for our products. Work stoppages and strikes at the plants of our key suppliers could disrupt our manufacturing processes. Any of these results could adversely affect our financial results of operations.
Our Textron Finance borrowing group's business is dependent on its continuing access to the capital markets.
Our financings are conducted through two borrowing groups, Textron Finance and Textron Manufacturing. Textron Finance consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, which are the entities through which we operate in the Finance segment. Textron Finance relies on its access to the capital markets to fund asset growth, fund operations and meet debt obligations and other commitments. Textron Finance raises funds through commercial paper borrowings, issuances of medium-term notes and other term debt securities, and syndication and securitization of receivables. Additional liquidity is provided to Textron Finance through bank lines of credit. Much of the capital markets funding is made possible by the maintenance of credit ratings that are acceptable to investors. If the credit ratings of Textron Finance were to be lowered, it might face higher borrowing costs, a disruption of its access to the capital markets or both. Textron Finance could also lose access to financing for other reasons, such as a general disruption of the capital markets. Any disruption of Textron Finance's access to the capital markets could adversely affect its business and our profitability.
If Textron Finance is unable to maintain portfolio credit quality, our financial performance could be adversely affected.
A key determinant of financial performance at Textron Finance will be its ability to maintain the quality of loans, leases and other credit products in its finance asset portfolios. Portfolio quality may adversely be affected by several factors, including finance receivable underwriting procedures, collateral quality, geographic or industry concentrations, or general economic downturns. Any inability by Textron Finance to successfully collect its finance receivable portfolio and to resolve problem accounts may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability, and financial condition.
30.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims.
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims relating to private sector transactions; government contracts; production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental contamination. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our being suspended or debarred from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect our financial position or our results of operations in any particular period.
The levels of our reserves are subject to many uncertainties and may not be adequate to cover writedowns or losses.
In addition to reserves at Textron Finance, we establish reserves in our manufacturing segments to cover uncollectible accounts receivable, excess or obsolete inventory, fair market value writedowns on used aircraft and golf cars, recall campaigns, warranty costs and litigation. These reserves are subject to adjustment from time to time depending on actual experience and are subject to many uncertainties, including bankruptcy or other financial problems at key customers.
In the case of litigation matters for which reserves have not been established because the loss is not deemed probable, it is reasonably possible such matters could be decided against us and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are not presently estimable.
The effect on our financial results of many of these factors depends in some cases on our ability to obtain insurance covering potential losses at reasonable rates.
Currency, raw material price and interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, raw material prices and interest rates. We monitor and manage these exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we purchase derivatives or enter into contracts to insulate our financial results of operations from these fluctuations. Nevertheless, changes in currency exchange rates, raw material prices and interest rates can have substantial adverse effects on our financial results of operations.
The increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect our results.
Our earnings and cash flow may be impacted by the amount of income or expense we expend or record for employee benefit plans. This is particularly true for our pension plans, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns and factors used to determine the value and current costs of plan benefit obligations.
In addition, medical costs are rising at a rate faster than the general inflation rate. Continued medical cost inflation in excess of the general inflation rate increases the risk that we will not be able to mitigate the rising costs of medical benefits. Increases to the costs of pension and medical benefits could have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
31.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
Unanticipated changes in Textron's tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, and our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among these different jurisdictions. Our effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or in tax laws, which could affect our profitability. In particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income. In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to audits in various jurisdictions, and a material assessment by a tax authority could affect our profitability.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
(a) Because this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed within four business days from the date of the reportable events, we have elected to make the following disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q instead of in a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 4, 2006, Textron and Mary L. Howell, John D. Butler and Terrence O'Donnell entered into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements, amending the Employment Agreements dated July 23, 1998, July 23, 1998 and March 10, 2000, respectively. The intent of these Amended and Restated Employment Agreements, which was mutually agreed upon by the executives and the Board of Directors, was to eliminate the inclusion of any performance share units granted after 2005 from the calculation of the executives' benefits under the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Textron Key Executives (the "SERP").
32.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
In consideration of this elimination of performance share units granted after 2005 from the calculation of SERP benefits, the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements for Ms. Howell and Mr. Butler each provide that, in the event of the executive's death, disability, termination without "cause" or resignation for "good reason," the executive will become fully vested in the maximum annual benefit payable under the SERP (i.e., 50% of highest consecutive five-year compensation reduced by benefits payable under other plans). Except in the case of death or a termination following a change of control, the SERP benefits so calculated, to the extent they exceed the benefits calculated without regard to such accelerated vesting provision, will not be payable until two and one-half years following termination.
In the case of Mr. O'Donnell, in consideration for the elimination of performance share units granted after 2005 from the calculation of SERP benefits, Textron has agreed to credit Mr. O'Donnell's account under the Deferred Income Plan for Textron Key Executives with an additional $157,465 as of January 1, 2006, and as of each anniversary of such date ending with January 1, 2009. Such amounts will be credited only if Mr. O'Donnell remains employed on the relevant dates, or if his employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, in which case the discounted present value of any installment not yet credited to Mr. O'Donnell's account will be accelerated and paid to Mr. O'Donnell in cash.
The Amended and Restated Employment Agreements also clarify certain language to reflect historic interpretations of the provisions so to avoid any future ambiguity, supply a previously absent definition of compensation for purposes of post-termination deemed years of service under Textron's pension plans and add a provision to make adjustments necessary to bring the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements in compliance with the new requirements with regard to deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Also on May 4, 2006, Textron entered into a Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement with Lewis B. Campbell entered into as of July 23, 1998 (as amended by the First Amendment dated as of May 6, 2005). This Amendment implements clarifying changes substantially identical to those referred to above in the description of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with Ms. Howell and Messrs. Butler and O'Donnell.
Copies of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with Ms. Howell and Messrs. Butler and O'Donnell are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively. A copy of the Campbell Second Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4.
Material Impairments
In December 2005, Textron's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Textron Fastening Systems business. With this approval, Textron committed to actively market the segment and expected to complete the sale within 12 months. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Fastening Systems segment was reported as a discontinued operation.
In the first quarter of 2006, Textron's management commenced its marketing efforts including establishing the proposed deal structure and identifying potential buyers. Formal negotiations commenced with a number of potential purchasers and specific terms and conditions have been discussed including the impact on the sales price of depreciation, currency exchange fluctuation, the assumption of liabilities, as well as the transfer of pension related obligations and assets.
On May 4, 2006, as a result of the offers received from potential purchasers of substantially all of the business of the segment, and the additional obligations that Textron now estimates will need to be settled as part of the sale, Textron determined that the net assets of discontinued operations related to the Textron Fastening Systems business may exceed the fair value less costs to sell. Consequently, Textron determined that it will incur a non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006 in the range of $75 million to $150 million.
