PART I
Item 1. Business of Textron
Textron Inc. is a global multi-industry company with operations in 33 countries and with approximately 37,000 employees in our continuing operations. Our business was founded in 1923 and reincorporated in Delaware on July 31, 1967. Today, we leverage our global network of aircraft, industrial and finance businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services.
Business Segments
We operate in four business segments – Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance. Our business segments include operations that are unincorporated divisions of Textron Inc. or its subsidiaries and others that are separately incorporated subsidiaries. A description of the business done and intended to be done by each of our business segments is set forth below. Financial information by business segment and geographic area appears in Note 21 of the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 74 through 75 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We also continue to operate in the Fastening Systems business, which was classified as a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Bell Segment
The Bell segment is comprised of Bell Helicopter and Textron Systems.
Bell Helicopter
Bell Helicopter is one of the largest suppliers of helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and helicopter-related spare parts and services in the world. Bell Helicopter manufactures for both military and commercial applications. Bell Helicopter’s revenues accounted for approximately 21%, 19% and 22% of our total revenues from continuing operations in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Bell Helicopter supplies advanced military helicopters and support (including spare parts, support equipment, technical data, trainers, pilot and maintenance training, component repairs, aircraft modifications, contractor maintenance and field and product support engineering services) to the U.S. Government and to military customers outside the United States. Bell Helicopter is one of the leading suppliers of helicopters to the U.S. Government and, in association with The Boeing Company, the only supplier of military tiltrotor aircraft. Bell Helicopter is teamed with The Boeing Company to develop, produce and support the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft for the U.S. Department of Defense. Tiltrotor aircraft are designed to provide the benefits of both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Through Production Lot 9, the U.S. Government has issued contracts for 83 production V-22 aircraft. The V-22 Operational Evaluation (“OPEVAL”) was successfully completed in 2005, which led to an Acquisition Decision Memorandum that authorized full-rate production for the V-22 in future production lots.
Bell Helicopter is nearing completion of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase of the H-1 Upgrade Program for the U.S. Marine Corps. This program will produce an advanced attack and a utility model helicopter, the AH-1Z and UH-1Y, respectively, both of which are designed to have 84% parts commonality, which meets the U.S. Government’s intent to reduce operational life cycle costs. Bell delivered the first two aircraft for OPEVAL training in October, and the OPEVAL is planned to begin shortly after the delivery of the remaining two aircraft in 2006. The U.S. Government has issued contracts for the production of ten UH-1Y aircraft and six AH-1Z aircraft through Low Rate Initial Production (“LRIP”) of Lots 1 and 2. This program calls for a total of 280 production units.
In July 2005, Bell Helicopter was awarded a U.S. Government contract for System Development and Demonstration of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter; this contract includes priced options for LRIP Lot 1 (6-12 aircraft) and Lot 2 (18-36 aircraft). This program calls for a total of 368 production units.
Bell Helicopter is also a leading supplier of commercially certified helicopters to corporate, offshore petroleum exploration and development, utility, charter, police, fire, rescue and emergency medical helicopter operators.
1
Bell Helicopter is a member of Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company LLC (“BAAC”), a joint venture with Agusta S.p.A. and two of its affiliated companies (collectively, “Agusta”), a leading helicopter manufacturer based in Italy, for the design, manufacture, sale and customer support of the revolutionary civil tiltrotor aircraft, the Model BA609. On December 20, 2005, Bell Helicopter and Agusta entered into a realignment of BAAC under which Bell sold its interest in the venture’s medium twin Model AB139 helicopter to Agusta so that Bell could focus on its own medium twin products and BAAC could focus exclusively on the Model BA609. The Model BA609 met a major milestone in 2005 by achieving forward flight in airplane mode for the first time. In 2005, the Model BA609 also achieved speeds in excess of 220 miles per hour and an altitude of over 15,000 feet.
Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland North America Inc. 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 and certain variations and derivatives thereof, to be offered and sold to departments or agencies of the U.S. Government. On January 28, 2005, Lockheed Martin, with AWB LLC as its principal subcontractor, was selected to design, develop, manufacture and support the Presidential helicopter for the U.S. Marine Corps Marine 1 Helicopter Squadron (VH-71) Program. Bell Helicopter plans to assemble the production aircraft at its Assembly & Integration Center in Amarillo, Texas.
Bell’s helicopter business competes against a number of competitors based in the United States and other countries, and its spare parts business competes against numerous competitors around the world. Competition is based primarily on price, quality, product support, performance, reliability and reputation.
Textron Systems
Textron Systems is a primary supplier to the defense, aerospace and general aviation markets. Its principal strategy is to address the emphasis being placed by the U.S. Department of Defense on network centric warfare and the leveraging of advances in information technology by focusing on the development and production of networked sensors, weapons and the associated algorithms and software. Textron Systems manufactures “smart” weapons, airborne and ground-based surveillance systems, aircraft landing systems, hovercraft, search and rescue vessels, armored vehicles and turrets, reciprocating piston aircraft engines, and aircraft and missile control actuators, valves and related components. Textron Systems is involved in supplying the U.S. Air Force with some of its premier smart weapons as prime contractor for the Sensor Fuzed Weapon and is a subcontractor to The Boeing Company for tail actuation systems on the Joint Direct Attack Munition and the next generation Small Diameter Bomb. Textron Systems is a tier one supplier of unattended ground sensors and intelligent munitions systems for the U.S. Army’s Future Combat System. While Textron Systems sells most of its products directly to U.S. customers, it also sells an increasing number of products in over 35 other countries through a growing, global network of sales representatives and distributors.
Actuation products for the aerospace, defense and industrial markets are sold under trade names of HR Textron and APCO. Specialty marine, land vehicle and turret products are sold under the trade names of Textron Marine & Land Systems and Cadillac Gage. The recognized need for armored vehicles for secure transport of U.S. and other armed forces has resulted in increased demand for the highly protected and cost effective vehicles offered by Textron Systems. Weapons, surveillance and landing systems are sold under the Textron Systems name. Reciprocating piston aircraft engines are sold under the Lycoming name directly to general aviation airframe manufacturers and in the aftermarket through domestic and international distributors. Lycoming also is the exclusive supplier of engines for Cessna’s product line of new single engine aircraft.
Textron Systems competes against a number of competitors in the United States and other countries on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality and reliability, product support, installed base and reputation.
Cessna Segment
Based on unit sales, Cessna Aircraft Company is the world’s largest manufacturer of general aviation aircraft. Cessna currently has four major product lines: Citation business jets, single engine turboprop Caravans, Cessna single engine piston aircraft and aftermarket services. Revenues in the Cessna segment accounted for approximately 35%, 30% and 29% of our total revenues from continuing operations in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The family of business jets currently produced by Cessna includes the Citation CJ1, Citation CJ1+, Citation CJ2, Citation CJ3, Citation Bravo, Citation Encore, Citation XLS, Citation Sovereign and Citation X. The Citation X is the world’s fastest business jet with a maximum operating speed of Mach .92. By the end of 2005, Cessna had delivered its 4,500th business jet. Currently, the entry-level Citation Mustang is under development. First customer deliveries of the Citation CJ1+, an upgrade to the CJ1, commenced in December 2005, and customer deliveries of the Citation CJ2+, an upgrade to the CJ2, are scheduled to commence in 2006. The first Mustang that will be finished on the production line at our
2
Independence, Kansas facility will be delivered to Cessna’s marketing department as a demonstrator in 2006. The first customer delivery of the Mustang will be in 2007. First deliveries of the Encore+, an upgrade of the Citation Encore, are scheduled to commence in 2007.
The Cessna Caravan is the world’s best selling utility turboprop. Through the end of 2005, more than 1,565 Caravans have been sold by Cessna since the first Caravan was delivered in 1985. Caravans are offered in three models: the Grand Caravan, the Super Cargomaster and the Caravan 675. Caravans are used in the United States. primarily to carry overnight express package shipments and also are used for personal transportation. International uses of Caravans include humanitarian flights, tourism and freight transport.
Cessna now has six models in its single engine piston product line: the four-place 172 Skyhawk and 172 Skyhawk SP, 182 Skylane and Turbo 182 Skylane, and the six-place 206 Stationair and T206 Turbo Stationair. Certification of the Garmin 1000 (“G1000”) avionics package has been completed for all single engine models. By the end of 2005, Cessna had delivered 6,382 single engine piston aircraft since deliveries were restarted in 1997.
The Citation family of aircraft is currently supported by a total of 10 Citation Service Centers owned and operated by Cessna, along with authorized independent service stations and centers in more than 18 countries throughout the world. The Wichita Citation Service Center is the world’s largest general aviation maintenance facility. The Cessna-owned Service Centers provide customers 24-hour service and maintenance. Cessna also provides 24-hour spare parts support for Citation aircraft. Cessna Caravan and single engine piston customers receive product support through independently owned service stations and 24-hour spare parts support through Cessna.
Cessna markets its products worldwide primarily through its own sales force, as well as through a network of authorized independent sales representatives, depending upon the product line. Cessna has several competitors in various market segments. Cessna’s aircraft compete with other aircraft that vary in size, speed, range, capacity, handling characteristics and price.
Cessna engages in the business jet fractional ownership market through a joint venture with TAG Aviation USA, Inc., a worldwide aircraft management and charter enterprise. This joint venture, called CitationShares, began in late 2000 and offers shares of Citation aircraft for operation in the entire contiguous United States, and in Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Bermuda. CitationShares also has a limited advance purchase jet aircraft charter offering, called the Vector Jetcard. Cessna’s current ownership interest in CitationShares is 82.2%.

In North America, Kautex produces metal fuel fillers and engine camshafts for the automotive market. In Germany, Kautex produces plastic containers for household and industrial uses.
Revenues of Kautex accounted for approximately 15%, 19% and 18% of our total revenues from continuing operations in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Kautex has a number of competitors worldwide, some of whom are owned by the automotive original equipment manufacturers that compose Kautex’s targeted customer base. Competition is typically based on a number of factors, including price, quality, reputation, prior experience and available manufacturing capacity.
Greenlee
Greenlee consists of Greenlee, Klauke and Tempo. These companies manufacture powered equipment, electrical test and measurement instruments, hand and hydraulic powered tools, and electrical and fiber optic connectors under the Greenlee, Fairmont, Klauke, Progressive and Tempo brand names. The products are principally used in the electrical construction and maintenance, telecommunications and plumbing industries. Greenlee distributes its products through a global network of sales representatives and distributors, and also directly to home improvement retailers and original equipment manufacturers. Rothenberger L.L.C., a 50-50 joint venture between Greenlee Plumbing Inc. and Rothenberger USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Rothenberger AG, sells hand and powered tools for the plumbing and mechanical industries in North America.

• Aircraft Finance provides financing for new and used Cessna business jets, single engine turboprops, piston-engine airplanes, Bell helicopters and other general aviation aircraft;
• Asset-Based Lending provides asset-based loans to middle-market companies in several industries, and provides factoring arrangements primarily for freight companies;
• Distribution Finance primarily offers inventory finance programs for dealers of products manufactured by Textron and for dealers of a variety of other household, housing, leisure, agricultural and technology products;
• Golf Finance primarily makes mortgage loans for the acquisition and refinancing of golf courses and provides term financing for E-Z-GO golf cars and Jacobsen turf-care equipment;
• Resort Finance primarily extends loans to developers of vacation interval resorts, secured primarily by notes receivable and interval inventory; and
• Structured Capital primarily engages in long-term leases of large-ticket equipment and real estate, primarily with investment grade lessees.
4
Textron Financial Corporation’s other financial services and products include transaction syndication, equipment appraisal and disposition, and portfolio servicing offered through Textron Business Services, Inc.
Textron Financial Corporation’s financing activities are confined almost exclusively to secured lending and leasing to commercial markets. Textron Financial Corporation’s services are offered primarily in North America. However, Textron Financial Corporation finances certain Textron products worldwide, principally Bell helicopters and Cessna aircraft.
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, Textron Financial Corporation paid Textron $0.8 billion, $0.9 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, relating to the sale of manufactured products to third parties that were financed by Textron Financial Corporation. Textron also received proceeds in those years of $41 million, $77 million and $56 million, respectively, from the sale of equipment from its manufacturing operations to Textron Financial for use under operating lease agreements.
The commercial finance environment in which Textron Financial Corporation operates is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. Textron Financial Corporation is subject to competition from various types of financing institutions, including banks, leasing companies, insurance companies, commercial finance companies and finance operations of equipment vendors. Competition within the commercial finance industry is primarily focused on price, terms, structure and service.
Textron Financial Corporation’s largest business risk is the collectibility of its finance receivable portfolio. See “Finance Portfolio Quality” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 23 for a detailed discussion of the credit quality of this portfolio.
Discontinued Operations – Fastening Systems
In December 2005, we committed to a plan to sell our Fastening Systems business, Textron Fastening Systems (“TFS”), in its entirety. This plan was approved by our Board of Directors on December 7, 2005, and the results of operations for TFS are now reported as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
TFS offers a full range of fastening technologies – which include fasteners, engineered assemblies and automation equipment – to global customers in the aerospace, automotive, computer, construction, electronics, electrical equipment, industrial equipment, non-automotive transportation, telecommunications and white good markets. Its customers are global and regional original equipment manufacturers, contract producers, component manufacturers and distributors. TFS provides products, services and solutions that simplify manufacturing processes and maximize efficiencies resulting in lower total system costs to its customers.
Revenues of TFS totaled $1.9 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are recorded within discontinued operations.
TFS is headquartered in Troy, Michigan, and has facilities located in the following 17 countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
TFS produces engineered threaded fasteners, fastening automation and installation tools, cold formed components, engineered assemblies, blind fastening systems and metal stampings, and sells the new Intevia intelligent fastening system. TFS’ Full Service Provider approach integrates its product offering with supply chain management services such as vendor managed inventory programs, plant provider programs and global sourcing. TFS provides a wide range of design and engineering services to its customers, and derives a portion of its income from licensing selected intellectual property assets to third parties.
TFS has hundreds of competitors in the global fastener market in essentially three tiers: global multinationals with a global market presence, typically strong in a market or in one or more product lines; mid-sized regionals with some global activity but primarily focused on regional markets; and small local firms with a limited range within a particular product category. Competition is based primarily on price, quality, delivery, service, support and reputation. TFS’ broad range of products, customers and markets reduces its risk of a business loss that would have a material adverse effect on Textron Inc.

Backlog
U.S. Government backlog was $3.3 billion at the end of 2005 and 2004, including backlog at Bell Helicopter of $2.2 billion in 2005 and $2.5 billion in 2004. Approximately 98% of the 2005 backlog was funded at December 31, 2005. Unfunded backlog represents the award value of U.S. Government contracts received, generally related to cost-plus type contracts, in excess of the funding formally appropriated by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government is obligated only up to the funded amount of the contract. Additional funding is appropriated as the contract progresses.
Commercial backlog from unaffiliated customers was $7.4 billion and $6.3 billion in 2005 and 2004, respectively, including backlog at Cessna of $6.3 billion in 2005 and $5.3 billion in 2004. A significant portion of Cessna’s backlog represents orders from a major fractional jet customer. Orders from this fractional aircraft operator are included in backlog when the customer enters into a definitive master agreement and has established preliminary delivery dates for the aircraft. Preliminary delivery dates are subject to change through amendment to the master agreement. Final delivery dates are established approximately 12 to 18 months prior to delivery. Orders from other customers are included in backlog upon the customer entering into a definitive purchase order and receipt of required deposits.
The 2005 year-end backlog with the major fractional jet customer was approximately $1.5 billion. The remaining $4.8 billion of Cessna’s backlog at the end of 2005 is with other commercial customers covering a wide spectrum of industries. This backlog includes $0.6 billion in orders for the new Mustang aircraft with the first customer deliveries in 2007.
Approximately 45% of our total backlog of $10.7 billion at December 31, 2005 represents orders which are not expected to be filled within our 2006 fiscal year.
U.S. Government Contracts
In 2005, 18% of our consolidated revenues were generated by or resulted from contracts with the U.S. Government. This business is subject to competition, changes in procurement policies and regulations, the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations, world events, and the size and timing of programs in which we may participate.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government generally may be terminated by the U.S. Government for convenience or default in whole or in part. If the U.S. Government terminates a contract for convenience, we normally will be entitled to payment for the cost of contract work performed before the effective date of termination plus reasonable profit on such work, adjusted to reflect any rate of loss had the contract been completed, plus reasonable costs of settlement of the work terminated. If, however, the U.S. Government terminates a contract for default, generally: (a) we will be paid the contract price for completed supplies delivered and accepted, an agreed-upon amount for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and preservation of property, and for partially completed products accepted by the U.S. Government; (b) the U.S. Government will not be liable for our costs with respect to unaccepted items and will be entitled to repayment of advance payments and progress payments related to the terminated portions of the contract; and (c) we may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.
Research and Development
Information regarding our research and development expenditures is contained in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 74 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Patents and Trademarks
We own, or are licensed under, numerous patents throughout the world relating to products, services and methods of manufacturing. Patents have been of value in the past and are expected to be of value in the future. However, the loss of any single patent or group of patents would not, in our opinion, materially affect the conduct of our business. We also own or license trademarks, trade names and service marks that are important to our business. Some of these trademarks, trade names and service marks are used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports, including: 429; AB Benzlers; AH-1Z; APCO; BA609; Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company, LLC (BAAC); Bell Helicopter; Bob-Cat; Boesner; Brouwer; Bunton; Cadillac Gage; Caravan 675; Cessna; Cessna Aircraft Company; Cessna Caravan; Citation; Citation Bravo; Citation CJ1; Citation CJ1+; Citation CJ2; Citation CJ2+; Citation CJ3; Citation Encore; Citation Encore+; Citation Mustang; CitationShares; Citation Sovereign; Citation X; Citation XLS; Cone Drive; Cushman; David Brown; David Brown Guinard Pump; David Brown Hydraulics; David Brown Union Pump; E-Z-GO; Fairmont; Gear Technologies; 429 Global Ranger; Global Technology Center; Grand Caravan; Greenlee; H-1; HR Textron; Hydraulics; Hydreco; Hydrocarbon Processing Products; Huey II; Intevia; Jacobsen; Kautex; Keylex; Kiowa Warrior; Klauke Progressive; 429 Light Twin; Lycoming; Maag; Modular Affordable Product Lines (MAPL); Polymer Systems; Powauto; Power Advantage Plus; ProParts Solution; Quick Draw Loan; Radicon; Ransomes; Rothenberger LLC; Ryan; Sensor Fuzed Weapon; 172 Skyhawk; 172 Skyhawk SP; 182 Skylane; ST 4X4; Small Business Direct; 206 Stationair; Steiner; Super Cargomaster; T206 Turbo Stationair; Tempo; Textron; Textron Business Systems; Textron Fastening Sys-

These marks and their related trademark designs and logotypes (and variations of the foregoing) are trademarks, trade names or service marks of Textron Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures.
Environmental Considerations
Our operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. Compliance with these laws and expenditures for environmental control facilities have not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Additional information regarding environmental matters is contained in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 71 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Employees
At December 31, 2005, we had approximately 37,000 employees in our continuing operations and approximately 9,000 employees in the discontinued operations of our Textron Fastening Systems business.
Available Information
We make available free of charge on our Internet website (http://www.textron.com) our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
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.
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
7
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.
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 from numerous suppliers, and even if our facilities are not directly affected by such events, we could be affected by interruptions of production 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.
8
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.
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.
9
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.
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 2. Properties
In December 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Textron Fastening Systems business as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2005, the Fastening Systems business included 19 plants located throughout the United States and 20 plants outside of the United States. Of the total of 39 plants operated in the Fastening Systems business, we owned 28, with the balance leased, and had total manufacturing space of approximately 10.7 million square feet.
On December 31, 2005, excluding Textron Fastening Systems’ plants, we operated a total of 77 plants located throughout the United States and 58 plants outside the United States. Of the total of 135 plants, we owned 65 and the balance was leased. In the aggregate, the total manufacturing space was approximately 21.4 million square feet.
We also own or lease offices, warehouse and other space at various locations. We consider the productive capacity of the plants operated by each of our business segments to be adequate. In general, our facilities are in good condition, are considered to be adequate for the uses to which they are being put and are substantially in regular use.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Two identical lawsuits purporting to be class actions were filed in 2002 in the United States District Court in Rhode Island against Textron and certain present and former officers of Textron and Bell Helicopter by Textron shareholders suing on their own behalf and on behalf of a purported class of Textron shareholders. A consolidated amended complaint alleged that the defendants failed to make certain accounting adjustments in response to alleged problems with Bell Helicopter’s V-22 and H-1 programs and that the company failed to timely write down certain assets of its OmniQuip unit. The complaint sought unspecified compensatory damages. On June 15, 2004, the District Court ruled that the plaintiffs could not maintain the claims that were based on allegations relating to the
H-1 program or to OmniQuip, and also ruled that all claims against one of the individual defendants should be dismissed. The District Court certified the class of shareholders on May 11, 2005. All claims in the litigation were subsequently settled for a cash amount to be paid by Textron’s insurer. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the District Court on January 31, 2006.
Separately, 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. Textron believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend this action vigorously.
We are subject to actual and threatened legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business. These proceedings include claims arising from private transactions, government contracts, product liability, employment and environmental, safety and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we believe that these legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7. 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.
The global economy continued to grow in most of our major markets in 2005, despite early weakness in some regions, including parts of Europe. The U.S. economy, in particular, proved resilient in the face of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Overall capital spending continued to grow at a steady and sustainable rate. Our company’s performance is strongly related to this key economic factor, which reflects investments in longer lasting items such as equipment, facilities and vehicles.
We had strong sales in 2005 – particularly in our aerospace and defense businesses. We were able to deliver exceptional organic growth (gains from existing business, excluding the effects of acquisitions and other changes) of 19%, which is the result of our commitment to bringing new products and services to our customers. Orders were strong, most notably at Bell, where a steady flow of military orders resulted from continued spending in the defense sector and we received robust orders in our commercial helicopter business. Cessna also saw a significant increase in new business jet orders as a result of strength in the aircraft sector and the popularity of its new model introductions, and our Finance segment experienced significant improvement in its portfolio credit quality with fewer charge-offs and a decrease in nonperforming assets. However, Industrial volumes were down slightly from 2004 largely due to a downturn in the North American automotive industry.
While we were impacted by inflation and higher pension costs in 2005, we were able to absorb the impact of these factors primarily as a result of the increased volumes and the benefit of our transformation strategy to reduce costs, introduce new products and enhance our portfolio of businesses. We will continue to execute our transformation strategy and position Textron to take advantage of the improved economic conditions.
To strengthen our overall position in our markets, we have continued to improve upon our portfolio of businesses. During 2005, we sold our interest in the Model AB139 helicopter program to Agusta, our partner in the BAAC venture. We also purchased US Helicopter to increase Bell’s ability to provide after-sales service, bought out Kautex’s Japanese joint venture partner to take advantage of a rapidly growing market, and set up a new joint venture with a German company, Rothenberger AG, to expand our presence in North American plumbing tools. In December 2005, our Board of Directors authorized management’s plan for the divestiture of our Textron Fastening Systems business. With this approval, we have committed to actively market this business and anticipate no significant changes to the approved plan and the completion of the sale within the next twelve months. As a result, this business was reclassified to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Consolidated Results of Operations
2005 Revenues – $10.0 Billion |
| 2005 Segment Profit* – $1.1 Billion |
|
|
|
|
* Segment profit represents the measurement used by Textron to evaluate performance for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for 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 interest income and expense and excludes special charges.
Revenues
Revenues increased $1.7 billion in 2005 primarily due to higher manufacturing sales volume of $1.3 billion, higher pricing of $159 million, the additional revenue of $115 million from acquisitions and higher revenue in the Finance segment of $83 million.
Revenues increased $263 million in 2004 primarily due to favorable foreign exchange of $167 million, the additional revenue of $76 million from the consolidation of CitationShares, higher manufacturing volume of $31 million and higher pricing of $30 million, partially offset by lower Finance revenues of $27 million.
15
Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $296 million in 2005 primarily due to higher sales volume of $319 million, higher pricing of $159 million and higher profit in the Finance segment of $26 million. These increases were partially offset by inflation of $227 million.
Segment profit increased $145 million in 2004 primarily due to $242 million in cost-reduction initiatives, a $50 million benefit from restructuring activities and $30 million of higher pricing. These increases were partially offset by inflation of $167 million.

Restructuring Program
Textron substantially completed its company-wide restructuring program at the end of 2005. Textron approved and committed to a restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2000 to improve returns at core businesses and to complete the integration of certain acquisitions. This program was expanded in 2001 and in 2002 as part of Textron’s strategic effort to improve operating efficiencies. Textron’s restructuring program included corporate and segment direct and indirect workforce reductions, consolidation of facilities, rationalization of certain product lines, outsourcing of non-core production activity, the divestiture of non-core businesses and the streamlining of sales and administrative overhead. Under this program, Textron reduced its workforce by approximately 8,000 employees from continuing operations, representing approximately 19% of its global workforce since the program was first announced, and has closed 85 facilities.
As of December 31, 2005, Textron had incurred total program costs of $306 million, which is composed of $164 million in severance costs, $44 million in contract termination costs, $34 million in asset impairment charges (net of gains on the sale of fixed assets) and $64 million in other associated costs. Total program costs incurred by segment include $219 million in the Industrial segment, $38 million in the Cessna segment, $29 million in the Bell segment, $9 million in the Finance segment and $11 million at Corporate.
Other Charges (Gain)
Textron records any charges incurred or gains realized in connection with the 2001 disposition of the Automotive Trim business (“Trim”) as Special Charges. In connection with this disposition of Trim to subsidiaries of Collins & Aikman Corporation (“C&A”), Textron Finance has recourse to Textron Manufacturing for equipment leases with the subsidiaries. The outstanding balance on these leases totaled approximately $70 million at December 31, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the lease term for these leases expired and C&A failed to make one of its lease payments. While Textron Finance is currently in negotiations with C&A to renew these leases, Textron Manufacturing recorded an additional reserve of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 based on uncertainties related to these leases.
In addition to the Textron Finance equipment leases, certain operating leases were transferred and assigned to subsidiaries of C&A upon the sale of Trim. As discussed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Textron has guaranteed C&A’s payments under these operating leases and certain environmental matters. In May 2005, C&A and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, including C&A Products Co. (“C&A Products”), 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. Based on C&A’s recent failure to pay certain leases, as well as the negotiations entered into as part of the potential sale of C&A’s European operations, Textron recorded $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cover its exposure under these leases, along with certain environmental and workers’ compensation matters.
Textron also acquired preferred stock in C&A Products and C&A common stock in connection with the Trim disposition. Based on C&A Products’ filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and relevant market considerations, Textron recorded charges of approximately $91 million in 2005 to write off the remaining book value of its investment in the preferred stock. In 2004, Textron sold its remaining investment in the C&A common stock for cash proceeds of $34 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million.
16
In 2003, Textron redeemed its 7.92% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2045. The debentures were held by Textron’s wholly owned trust, and the proceeds from their redemption were used to redeem all of the $500 million Textron Capital I trust preferred securities. Upon the redemption, $15 million of unamortized issuance costs were written off and recorded in Special Charges.
Corporate Expenses and Other, Net
Corporate expenses and other, net increased $42 million in 2005, principally due to $16 million for higher compensation and pension costs, $9 million for corporate initiatives and $7 million for the corporate portion of share-based compensation expense recorded under a newly adopted accounting standard.
Corporate expenses and other, net increased $34 million in 2004 primarily due to $14 million of nonrecurring income in 2003, $6 million in higher premiums for Directors and Officers insurance, $5 million in funding to Textron’s charitable trust and $4 million in higher executive compensation primarily related to improved operating results. The nonrecurring income in 2003 included $7 million related to an expired royalty agreement and $7 million in proceeds from life insurance policies.
Income from Continuing Operations
Fluctuations in income from continuing operations are primarily driven by segment profit changes as discussed above. In addition, Textron recorded certain items that affected the comparability of operating results in the last three years which are summarized in the table below:

Gain on sale of businesses includes a gain of $15 million on the sale of Textron’s remaining interest in a previously divested business.
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 Payment” (“SFAS No. 123-R”), using the modified prospective method. The adoption resulted in recognition of share-based compensation expense related primarily to the expensing of stock options in continuing operations of approximately $14 million ($10 million after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2005, including the net impact of the cumulative effect of adoption of approximately $1 million in the first quarter, and $2 million ($1 million after tax) in discontinued operations.

Discontinued Operations
In December 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Textron Fastening Systems business. With this approval, we have committed to actively market this business and anticipate no significant changes to the approved plan and the completion of the sale within the next twelve months.
17
Discontinued operations include Textron Fastening Systems and the InteSys, OmniQuip and small business direct businesses as discontinued operations, net of applicable income taxes, for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS. No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these divestiture activities.

In 2005, the loss from discontinued operations includes a $335 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Textron Fastening Systems business. In addition, we recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $52 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, which includes $37 million related to previously deferred foreign currency translation losses and $2 million of tax charges, both related to the non-U.S.-based business, as well as $7 million related to curtailment losses for employee retirement plans. After these charges, management assessed the estimated fair value of the business and determined that no further adjustment to the carrying value was required. In addition, approximately $6 million in after-tax deal-related costs primarily for professional services and advisory fees were incurred during the fourth quarter. In 2003, the loss from discontinued operations includes a $30 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge related to the OmniQuip business.
In 2005, Textron recorded a net $46 million gain on disposal, primarily related to a tax benefit recorded upon the sale of InteSys. There was no gain or loss on the sale of OmniQuip and the small business direct businesses in 2003.
Special charges represent restructuring costs incurred by Textron Fastening Systems, InteSys and OmniQuip in connection with the company-wide restructuring program.
Outlook
We expect higher revenues in 2006 as a result of revenue increases at Bell, Cessna and Finance, while the Industrial businesses are expected to be down slightly. At Bell, revenues are expected to increase primarily due to higher commercial helicopter deliveries. At Cessna, we expect an increase in revenue due to higher sales of jets based on our current delivery schedule.
Textron’s commercial backlog from unaffiliated customers was $7.4 billion and $6.3 billion at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and is primarily related to Cessna. U.S. Government backlog was $3.3 billion at the end of 2005 and 2004, which was substantially all in the Bell segment. See “Backlog” in Item 1. Business of Textron on page 6 for more information.

The Bell segment is a supplier of aircraft and weapon systems providing advanced product and service solutions to both military and commercial customers. Bell Helicopter is a leading manufacturer of military helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft for the U.S. Government and commercial helicopters for corporate, offshore petroleum exploration and development, utility, charter, police, fire, rescue and emergency medical customers. Textron Systems is a primary supplier to the defense, aerospace and general aviation markets.
Bell Helicopter participates in several major programs with the U.S. Government. In association with The Boeing Company, Bell Helicopter is the only supplier of military tiltrotor aircraft – the V-22. The U.S. Government has issued contracts for 83 production V-22 aircraft with a total requirement of 458 aircraft. In September 2005, Bell received authorization to proceed to full-rate production of the V-22.
Bell Helicopter is nearing completion of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (“EMD”) phase of the H-1 Upgrade Program for the U.S. Marine Corps. This program will produce an advanced attack and a utility model helicopter, the AH-1Z and UH-1Y, respectively. The Operational Evaluation for this program is planned to begin shortly after the delivery of the remaining two aircraft in 2006. The U.S. Government has also issued contracts for the production of ten UH-1Y aircraft and six AH-1Z aircraft through Low Rate Initial Production. A contract for an additional lot, along with a priced option for another lot, is planned to be exercised in the second quarter of 2006.
Additionally, Bell was awarded a contract for System Development and Demonstration of the Army’s Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (“ARH”) with an expected requirement of 368 aircraft. Bell will also participate in the production of the VH-71 Presidential helicopter fleet through AWB LLC.
During 2005, Bell Helicopter’s commercial business gained momentum with an increase in orders and deliveries. Bell continued to invest in commercial programs as evidenced by the significant progress made on the 429 Global Ranger and other program upgrades in response to customer requests to improve speed, lower operating costs and reduce noise.
Textron Systems’ principal strategy and focus is to address the emphasis being placed by the U.S. Department of Defense on network centric warfare and the leveraging of advances in information technology by focusing on the development and production of advanced weapon systems. Additionally, Textron Systems has received orders to deliver more than 1,100 armored security vehicles (“ASV”). Currently, production capacity is ramping up to meet these deliveries in spite of the disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Bell Revenues
U.S. Government Business
U.S. Government revenues increased $491 million in 2005 primarily due to higher revenue of $288 million from the V-22 program, higher ASV volume of $61 million, the benefit of $36 million from the US Helicopter acquisition, higher military spares volume of $32 million and increased sales of $20 million for air-launched weapons. Additionally, Bell recognized $21 million from the new ARH contract.
U.S. Government revenues decreased $166 million in 2004 largely due to lower revenue of $243 million on the V-22 program primarily as a result of lower effort on production lots three through six as these contracts neared completion and a decrease in development activities. Lower sales of $30 million related to the completion of a contract for training aircraft in 2003 and an $11 million reduction in revenue, related to a final agreement with the U.S. Government to settle an overhead cost rate matter, also contributed to the revenue decrease. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by $34 million of higher military spares volume, increased sales of $34 million for air-launched weapons and higher H-1 revenue of $34 million.
Commercial Business
Commercial revenues increased $136 million in 2005 primarily due to higher aircraft sales of $68 million, higher spares volume of $41 million and higher international military sales of $26 million due primarily to higher ASV deliveries to foreign customers of $58 million that were partially offset by lower helicopter volume of $32 million.
Commercial revenues increased $72 million in 2004 primarily due to higher international military sales of $64 million, increased volume in the aircraft engine business of $18 million and higher spares volume of $14 million. These increases were partially offset by lower Huey II kit sales of $16 million and lower aircraft sales of $6 million.
19
Bell Segment Profit
U.S. Government Business
Profit in the U.S. Government business increased $33 million in 2005 principally due to higher V-22 volume of $26 million, reflecting the delivery of 12 aircraft from Lots 7 and 8, higher volume and improved performance of air-launched weapons totaling $13 million, and increased ASV deliveries and improved performance of $10 million. These increases were partially offset by $18 million of costs associated with Hurricane Katrina.
Profit in the U.S. Government business decreased $31 million in 2004 primarily due to the $20 million impact of lower V-22 revenue, an $11 million settlement with the U.S. Government and lower volume of training aircraft of $11 million, partially offset by the $10 million impact of higher volume of air-launched weapons.
Commercial Business
Commercial profit increased $85 million in 2005 primarily due to the $30 million gain on the sale of our interest in the Model AB139 helicopter program, the $29 million impact of higher international military volume and improved performance, higher spares volume of $22 million and a $13 million impact upon resolution of uncertainties and receipt of cash related to a prior year collaborative research and development sharing agreement. In addition, commercial profit reflected a $16 million decrease in net research and development, as higher gross research and development expenses of $28 million were more than offset by the commercial share of reimbursements related to risk-sharing agreements from co-development partners. These increases were partially offset by $28 million of higher selling and administrative expense and $18 million in additional reserves recorded by Lycoming related to the retirement program discussed below and crankshaft service bulletins discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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. Accordingly, an additional reserve of $10 million was recorded in the fourth quarter to cover the expected cost of this planned retirement program.
Commercial profit increased $47 million in 2004 primarily due to the $34 million impact of the higher international military sales, favorable cost performance in the helicopter business of $31 million (including the favorable resolution of a $6 million warranty issue provided for in 2003), the $9 million benefit from a favorable mix of aircraft and the $5 million favorable impact of a nonrecurring 2003 charge related to a recall, inspection and customer care program at the aircraft engine business, partially offset by higher engineering expenses of $28 million.
Bell Outlook
Bell’s revenues are expected to increase in 2006, while margins are expected to drop slightly due to the certain nonrecurring items that benefited the 2005 results. The U.S. Government business is expected to benefit from an increase in ASV volume as well as higher revenues from the ARH and VH-71 program contracts, which is expected to be partially offset by lower V-22 revenue based on scheduled deliveries. Higher revenue is expected in our commercial business largely due to increased deliveries in 2005.

Cessna Aircraft Company is the world’s largest manufacturer of general aviation aircraft, based on unit sales. Cessna currently has four major product lines: Citation business jets, single engine turboprop Caravans, Cessna single engine piston aircraft and aftermarket services. Cessna provides dependable aircraft and premier service to corporate customers in over 75 countries. Cessna also engages in the business jet fractional ownership market through CitationShares, a venture with TAG Aviation USA, Inc. During 2005, the economy continued to strengthen, leading to a significant increase in business jet and single engine aircraft orders. At the same time, Cessna also realized the benefit of its continued strategy of investment in new product development receiving FAA certification for the CJ1+ and the CJ2+ in 2005. Cessna also expects to receive certification of the Mustang in 2006.
20
Cessna Revenues
The Cessna segment’s revenues increased $1.0 billion in 2005, compared with 2004, primarily due to higher Citation business jet volume of $737 million, higher pricing of $82 million and a benefit from the consolidation of CitationShares of $78 million. Citation business jet customer deliveries were 252 in 2005, compared with 179 jets in 2004.
The Cessna segment’s revenues increased $174 million in 2004, compared with 2003, primarily due to the $76 million increase from the consolidation of CitationShares, $39 million of higher pricing and a $12 million benefit from lower to used aircraft overtrade allowances. Citation business revenue jet deliveries were 179 in 2004, compared with 194 jets in 2003.
Cessna Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $190 million in 2005, compared with 2004, largely due to the $229 million impact of higher volume across all product lines and $82 million of higher pricing, partially offset by $99 million of inflation. Additionally, Cessna was able to significantly improve profit margins and overcome the challenges associated with ramping up production and increasing research and development expenses.
Segment profit increased $68 million in 2004, compared with 2003, largely due to $85 million of improved cost performance, $39 million of higher pricing, $18 million of lower used aircraft valuation adjustments, a $12 million benefit from lower used aircraft overtrade allowances and an $8 million benefit related to the expiration of prior year residual value guarantees, partially offset by $70 million of inflation and the unfavorable impact of lower business jet volume and unfavorable mix of $20 million. The benefit from lower used aircraft overtrade allowances and valuation adjustments was primarily due to fewer trade-ins and a stabilization in market values for used jets in 2004.
Cessna Outlook
Cessna anticipates another strong year of business jet deliveries in 2006 with total revenues expected to increase significantly. Indications are that 2007 will be a strong delivery year as well. In 2006, profit margins are expected to rise, primarily driven by the increase in revenue. Cessna will continue to invest in new products such as the Encore+ and the Mustang, broadening our product line to take advantage of the improving business jet market.

The Industrial segment is composed of five businesses, including E-Z-GO, Jacobsen, Kautex, Greenlee and Fluid & Power. Through these businesses, the segment provides its customers with innovative solutions and services, including golf cars and turf-care equipment, plastic fuel systems, wire and cable installation equipment, and industrial pumps and gears. These markets are highly competitive and price sensitive. Consequently, significant cost reductions are required not only to offset inflation and price concessions, primarily at Kautex, but also to improve margins.
Industrial Revenues
The Industrial segment’s revenues increased $8 million in 2005, compared with 2004, as higher pricing of $36 million and favorable foreign exchange of $31 million were largely offset by lower volume of $63 million. The lower sales volume primarily reflects decreases of $80 million at Kautex, largely due to product model changeovers, and $39 million at Jacobsen, primarily related to the strategic realignment of its North American commercial distribution network. These decreases were partially offset by higher volume of $31 million at Greenlee.
The Industrial segment’s revenues increased $210 million in 2004, compared with 2003, primarily due to a favorable foreign exchange impact of $167 million and higher sales volume of $61 million, partially offset by $17 million related to the divestiture of a non-core product line during the second quarter of 2004. The higher sales volume primarily reflects an increase of $44 million at Kautex, largely due to new product launches and growth in its international markets, and to a lesser degree increases of $18 million and $12 million at E-Z-GO and Jacobsen, respectively.
21
Industrial Segment Profit
Segment profit decreased $44 million in 2005, compared with 2004, largely due to inflation of $84 million and the impact of lower volume and an unfavorable mix of $21 million, partially offset by higher pricing of $36 million and improved cost performance of $24 million, primarily at Kautex.
Segment profit increased $44 million in 2004, compared with 2003, primarily due to $92 million of improved cost performance, improved credit performance of $16 million, the favorable foreign exchange impact of $13 million, the $10 million impact of higher volume and lower fair market value adjustments of $8 million for used golf cars. These increases were partially offset by inflation of $59 million and lower profit of $24 million at a North American Kautex plant due to increased costs from manufacturing inefficiencies.
Industrial Outlook
Industrial revenues are expected to decrease in 2006, while segment margins are forecasted to improve slightly. The forecasted decrease in revenues reflects a decline at Kautex, primarily as a result of model changeovers and the divestiture of a product line in 2005, which is expected to be partially offset by growth at Greenlee and, to a lesser extent, increases for the remaining businesses.

The Finance segment is a diversified commercial finance business with core operations in aircraft finance, asset-based lending, distribution finance, golf finance, resort finance and structured capital. Its financing activities are confined almost exclusively to secured lending and leasing to commercial markets. Within these core operations, this segment also provides financing programs for products manufactured by Textron. In 2005, management continued its focus on growing its core business while liquidating non-core assets.
Finance Revenues
The Finance segment’s revenues increased $83 million in 2005, compared with 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher finance charges and discounts of $95 million, partially offset by lower prepayment income of $10 million. The increase in finance charges and discounts was largely due to a higher interest rate environment, which accounted for $98 million of the increase, and $62 million related to higher average finance receivables of $855 million, partially offset by lower relative receivable pricing of $65 million. The increase in average finance receivables was primarily related to growth in distribution, golf and aircraft finance and asset-based lending, partially offset by reductions in the liquidating non-core portfolios.
The Finance segment’s revenues decreased $27 million in 2004, compared with 2003. The decrease was primarily due to lower finance charges and discounts of $35 million, largely due to the continued liquidation of non-core assets resulting in lower average finance receivables of $269 million, and a reduction of discount earnings in the distribution finance business. The decrease was partially offset by higher securitization gains of $13 million, primarily due to improved yield, and $20 million from an increase in average finance receivables sold to the distribution finance revolving conduit, partially offset by a $6 million reduction in resort finance gains.
Finance Segment Profit
Segment profit increased $32 million in 2005, compared with 2004, primarily due to a $29 million decrease in the provision for loan losses as a result of sustained improvements in portfolio quality, and an $18 million increase in net interest margin, which was partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses of $15 million. The increase in net interest margin was primarily attributable to portfolio growth. Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to $9 million in higher variable compensation associated with portfolio growth and $5 million related to improved profitability and increased pension and benefits cost.
Segment profit increased $17 million in 2004, compared with 2003, primarily due to a $23 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, reflecting an improvement in portfolio quality, partially offset by lower net interest margin of $10 million.

The Finance segment has experienced significant improvements in portfolio quality over the past two years. The improvements in credit quality were evident through lower nonperforming asset levels and 60+ days contractual delinquency.
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 for each of the last three year-ends by business are as follows:

We believe that nonperforming assets will generally be in the range of 1% to 4% of finance assets depending on economic conditions. Textron Finance experienced significant improvement in total nonperforming assets with a $29 million decrease in 2005 and a $22 million decrease in 2004. The decrease in 2005 was primarily attributable to core businesses, including $22 million in resort finance and $13 million in golf finance, largely related to improved general economic conditions. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in liquidating portfolios. These non-core businesses continue to compose a disproportionate amount of Textron Finance’s nonperforming assets accounting for 41% of total nonperforming assets while comprising less than 5% of the total finance assets at December 31, 2005.
Finance Outlook
In 2006, we expect the Finance segment’s profit to increase primarily as a result of improved net interest margin related to higher average finance receivables.

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 flows 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.
A portion of Textron Finance’s business involves financing retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by Textron Manufacturing. 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 Statements of Cash Flows when received.
Textron Inc. provides a support agreement to Textron Finance that requires Textron Inc. to maintain 100% ownership of Textron Finance. The agreement also requires Textron Finance to maintain fixed charge coverage of no less than 125% and consolidated shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million. Textron Finance’s bank agreements prohibit the termination of the support agreement.
Textron’s financial position continued to be strong at the end of 2005 and included aggregate cash and cash equivalents of $796 million, compared with $697 million at the end of 2004. During 2005, cash flows from operations were the primary source of funds for our operating needs, dividends and capital expenditures. Management analyzes operating cash flows for Textron Manufacturing by tracking free cash flow, which is calculated using net cash provided by operating activities, adding back proceeds on the sale of property, plant and equipment, then subtracting capital expenditures, including those financed with capital leases.

Operating cash flows on a consolidated basis have remained fairly consistent over the past few years. 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. In 2005 and 2004, this net captive financing activity increased Textron Manufacturing’s separate cash flows by $100 million and $165 million, respectively, while in 2003, cash flows were decreased by $86 million. Excluding these net changes from Textron Manufacturing’s cash flows, the increase in 2005 is largely due to increased income from operations, while the increase in 2004 is largely due to increased customer deposits in the Bell and Cessna segments resulting from an increase in orders for jets and commercial helicopters.
Textron Manufacturing’s operating cash flows include after-tax cash used to fund Textron’s restructuring program of $12 million in 2005, $24 million in 2004 and $34 million in 2003. This program was substantially completed at the end of 2005 with forecasted cash payments in 2006 of approximately $4 million.

Over the past three years, Textron’s consolidated cash flows used in investing activities have been largely driven by an increase in net financing activities at Textron Finance. The 2005 and 2004 increases in cash used in investing activities in the consolidated cash flows reflect a higher use of cash resulting from the increase in finance receivable originations, net of cash collections from repayments, sales and securitizations, of $198 million and $744 million, respectively.
Textron Manufacturing increased its use of cash for investing activities by $204 million in 2005 primarily with a $118 million increase in capital expenditures and a $38 million decrease in proceeds that were received in 2004 from the sale of C&A common stock. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily related to higher spending at the Bell segment in response to increased production demands. Capital expenditures for Textron Manufacturing totaled $371 million in 2005, $282 million in 2004 and $272 million in 2003, including expenditures purchased through capital leases of $15 million in 2005, $44 million in 2004 and $26 million in 2003.
The separate borrowing group cash flows of Textron Finance reflect investing activities that include $824 million, $892 million and $886 million in non-cash activity for finance receivables originated in connection with the sale of Textron Manufacturing’s inventory in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Cash received from customers and securitizations related to the sale of this inventory is also included within Textron Finance’s investing activities totaling $724 million, $727 million and $972 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows these amounts have been eliminated from investing activities and are recorded as a net amount in operating cash flows under the caption “Captive Finance Receivables, Net.”

The 2005 increase in cash provided by financing activities in the consolidated cash flows was largely due to an increase in debt outstanding at both Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. The increase in Textron Manufacturing principally reflects a retirement of debt of $300 million in 2004 and the issuance of $281 million in short term debt in 2005. Textron Finance increased its debt outstanding to fund asset growth. These
25
increases were partially offset by higher cash outflows from a $182 million increase in purchases of Textron common stock, $81 million in lower proceeds from employee stock ownership plans and a $54 million increase in dividend payments, primarily due to the timing of dividend payments with four quarters paid in 2005 and only three quarters paid in 2004.
In 2004, the decrease in cash used by financing activities in the consolidated cash flows principally reflects a $715 million increase in cash provided by Textron Finance reflecting an increase in debt outstanding to fund asset growth, partially offset by a decrease at Textron Manufacturing largely due to higher cash outflows from a $351 million increase in purchases of Textron common stock.
Principal Payments and Retirements of Long-Term Debt
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, Textron Manufacturing made principal payments of $417 million, $360 million and $503 million, respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, Textron Finance made principal payments on long-term debt of $0.8 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
On January 26, 2006, Textron’s Board of Directors authorized a new 12-million-share repurchase program. This program supercedes Textron’s previous authorization, which was exhausted in January. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, Textron repurchased approximately 8,035,000, 6,534,000 and 1,951,000 shares of common stock, respectively, under its Board-authorized share repurchase programs for an aggregate cost of $606 million, $425 million and $66 million, respectively.
Dividends
Textron’s Board of Directors approved dividends of $1.40 per common share in 2005. 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, a quarterly dividend of $0.3875 per share for holders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2006. Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $189 million, $135 million and $222 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The 2003 payments include an additional payment made for the fourth quarter dividend, which is typically paid in the following year.

Cash flows from discontinued operations include Textron Manufacturing’s Fastening Systems, OmniQuip and InteSys businesses, and Textron Finance’s small business finance operation. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details concerning these dispositions. In 2003, cash provided by investing activities included the receipt of $421 million in cash upon the sale of substantially all of the small business finance operation, and $198 million in tax refunds and cash proceeds related to the sale of the OmniQuip business, partially offset by $197 million in finance receivable originations, net of repayments.
Capital Resources
Textron Manufacturing’s debt (net of cash)-to-capital ratio as of December 31, 2005 was 26%, compared with 25% at January 1, 2005. Textron Manufacturing’s gross debt-to-capital ratio as of December 31, 2005 was 37%, compared with 33% at January 1, 2005. Textron Manufacturing has established a gross debt-to-capital ratio target in the mid-thirties. Consistent with the methodology used by members of the financial community, leverage of the manufacturing operations excludes the debt of Textron Finance. In turn, Textron Finance limits its borrowings to an amount, taking into account the risk profile of its assets, consistent with a single A credit rating. Surplus capital of Textron Finance is returned to Textron Inc.
Borrowings have historically been a secondary source of funds for Textron Manufacturing and, along with the collection of finance receivables, are a primary source of funds for Textron Finance. Both Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance utilize a broad base of financial sources for their respective liquidity and capital needs. Our credit ratings are predominantly a function of our ability to generate operating cash flow and satisfy certain financial ratios. Since high-quality credit ratings provide us with access to a broad base of global investors at an attractive cost, we target a long-term A rating from the independent debt-rating agencies. In November 2005, Fitch upgraded its outlook for Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance to positive, while Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have assessed the outlook for both groups as stable. The credit ratings of these three debt-ratings agencies are as follows:

For liquidity purposes, Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance have a policy of maintaining sufficient unused lines of credit to support their outstanding commercial paper. None of these lines of credit was used at December 31, 2005 or January 1, 2005. Textron Manufacturing has primary revolving credit facilities of $1.3 billion that expire in 2010. Textron Manufacturing’s credit facilities permit Textron Finance to borrow under those facilities. Textron Finance also has $1.5 billion in bank lines of credit, of which $500 million expires in July 2006 and $1.0 billion expires in 2010. Textron Finance’s facility that expires in 2006 includes a one-year term out option that effectively extends its expiration into 2007. At December 31, 2005, the lines of credit not reserved as support for commercial paper and letters of credit were $1.2 billion for Textron Manufacturing and $300 million for Textron Finance.
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 $4.0 billion. Under this registration statement, Textron Finance issued $1.4 billion of term debt and CAD 0.1 billion of term debt during 2005. The proceeds from these issuances were used to fund receivable growth and repay short-term debt. At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had $1.8 billion available under this registration statement. Textron Manufacturing may issue public debt and other securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $2.0 billion under its shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At December 31, 2005, Textron Manufacturing had $1.6 billion available under this registration statement.

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations included in the table above do not include interest payments. Operating leases represent undiscounted obligations under noncancelable leases.
Textron maintains defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans other than pensions as discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Included in the table above are discounted estimated benefit payments to be made by Textron related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Actual benefit payments are dependent on a number of factors, including mortality assumptions, expected retirement age, rate of compensation increases and medical trend rates, which are subject to change in future years. Textron also expects to make contributions to its funded pension plans in the range of $25 million to $30 million per year over the next five years, which are not reflected in this table.
27
Other Long-Term Liabilities primarily include undiscounted amounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 representing obligations under deferred compensation arrangements and estimated environmental remediation costs. Payments under deferred compensation arrangements have been estimated based on management’s assumptions of expected retirement age, mortality, stock price and rates of return on participant deferrals. Timing of cash flows associated with environmental remediation costs are largely based on historical experience.
Purchase obligations represent undiscounted obligations for which Textron is committed to purchase goods and services as of December 31, 2005. Textron’s ultimate liability for these obligations may be reduced based upon termination provisions included in certain purchase contracts, the costs incurred to date by vendors under these contracts or by recourse under firm contracts with the U.S. Government under normal termination clauses.
Effective January 2, 2005, Textron engaged a third-party service provider to assume oversight of its information technology infrastructure, including maintenance, operational oversight and purchases of hardware (the “IT Contract”). The IT Contract covers a 10-year period and is subject to variable pricing and quantity provisions for both purchases of computer hardware and system design modifications. Textron retains the right to approve significant design, equipment purchase and related decisions by the service provider. Textron has the ability to terminate the IT Contract prior to its full term and would consequently be subject to variable termination fees that decline over time and do not exceed $63 million in 2006.
In addition to the amounts included above, Textron Manufacturing has contractual obligations related to certain businesses reported as discontinued operations, primarily related to purchase obligations and post-retirement benefit obligations other than pensions. These amounts are estimated to be paid as follows: $54 million in less than one year, $11 million in two years, $1 million in three years, $1 million in four years, $1 million in five years and $27 million in more than five years.
The following table summarizes Textron Finance’s known contractual obligations to make future payments. Due to the nature of finance companies, Textron Finance also has contractual cash receipts that will be received in the future. Textron Finance generally borrows funds at various contractual maturities to match the maturities of its finance receivables. The contractual payments and receipts as of December 31, 2005 are detailed below:

Finance receivable receipts are based on contractual cash flows. These amounts could differ due to prepayments, charge-offs and other factors. Contractual receipts and payments exclude finance charges and discounts from receivables, debt interest payments, proceeds from sale of operating lease equipment and other items.
As shown in the preceding table, cash collections from finance assets are expected to be sufficient to cover maturing debt and other contractual liabilities. At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had $2.2 billion in debt and $439 million in Other Liabilities that are payable within the next 12 months.
28
At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had unused commitments to fund new and existing customers under $1.2 billion of committed revolving lines of credit, compared with $1.0 billion at January 1, 2005. Since many of the agreements will not be used to the extent committed or will expire unused, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Textron has joint venture agreements with external financing arrangements for which Textron has guaranteed approximately $15 million in debt obligations, including approximately $5 million related to discontinued operations. Textron would be required to make payments under these guarantees if a joint venture defaults under the debt agreements.
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 2005, AWB LLC’s maximum obligation is 20% of the total contract value, which equates to $232 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion. In 2006, AWB LLC’s maximum obligation increases to 40%, or $464 million, and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter’s liability under the guarantee is $114 million at December 31, 2005 and will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
Textron Manufacturing enters into a forward contract in Textron common stock on an annual basis. The contract is intended to hedge the earnings and cash volatility of stock-based incentive compensation indexed to Textron stock. The forward contract requires annual cash settlement between the counterparties based upon a number of shares multiplied by the difference between the strike price and the prevailing Textron common stock price. As of December 31, 2005, the contract was for approximately 1.7 million shares with a strike price of $70.80. The market price of the stock was $76.98 at December 31, 2005, resulting in a receivable of $10 million, compared with a receivable of $31 million at January 1, 2005.
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 subordinate interest in the finance receivables sold through securitizations, which may affect operating results through periodic fair value adjustments. These retained interests are more fully discussed in the Securitizations section of Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 $361 million and $394 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Proceeds from securitizations includes proceeds received related to incremental increases in the level of distribution finance receivables sold and excludes amounts received related to the ongoing replenishment of the outstanding sold balance of these receivables with short durations. Textron Finance has used the proceeds from these arrangements to fund the origination of new finance receivables and to retire commercial paper.
Whole-loan finance receivable sales in which Textron Finance maintains a continuing interest differ from securitizations as loans are sold directly to investors and no portion of the sale proceeds is deferred. Limited credit enhancement is typically provided for these transactions in the form of a contingent liability related to finance receivable credit losses and, to a lesser extent, prepayment risk. Textron Finance has a contingent liability related to the sale of equipment lease rents in 2003 and 2001. The maximum liability at December 31, 2005 was $42 million. Textron Finance has valued this contingent liability based on assumptions for annual credit losses and prepayment rates of 0.25% and 7.50%, respectively. An instantaneous 20% adverse change in these rates would have an insignificant impact on the valuation of this recourse liability.
Termination of Textron Finance’s off-balance sheet financing arrangements would significantly reduce its short-term funding alternatives. While these arrangements do not contain provisions that require Textron Finance to repurchase significant balances of receivables previously sold, there are risks that could reduce the availability of these funding alternatives in the future. Potential barriers to the continued use of these arrangements
29
include deterioration in finance receivable portfolio quality, downgrades in Textron Finance’s debt credit ratings and a reduction of new finance receivable originations in the businesses that utilize these funding arrangements. Textron Finance does not expect any of these factors to have a material impact on its liquidity or income from continuing operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make complex and subjective judgments in the selection and application of accounting policies. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of Textron’s financial condition and results of operations are listed below. We believe these policies require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties. This section should be read in conjunction with Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes other significant accounting policies.
Receivable and Inventory Reserves
We evaluate the collectibility of our commercial and finance receivables based on a combination of factors. For larger balance commercial loans, Textron Finance considers borrower specific information, industry trends and estimated discounted cash flows, as well as the factors reviewed for its homogeneous loan pools. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its short-term financial obligations to us (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit scores, geographic economic conditions, etc.), we record a specific reserve for bad debts for amounts we estimate to be potentially uncollectible. Receivables are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
For homogeneous loan pools and all other receivables, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on current delinquencies, the characteristics of the existing accounts, historical loss experience, the value of underlying collateral, and general economic conditions and trends. Textron Finance estimates that its losses will range from 0.5% to 4.0% of finance receivables depending on the specific homogeneous loan pool. Finance receivables are written down to the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of the related collateral at the earlier of the date when the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received for six months unless we deem the receivable collectible.
Reserves on certain finance receivables are determined using estimates of related collateral values based on historical recovery rates and current market conditions. Management reviews the market conditions for used equipment and aircraft inventories on a periodic basis. A deterioration in market conditions resulting in lower recovery rates would result in lower estimated collateral values, increasing the amount of reserves required on related receivables and used inventories on hand. Based on current market conditions and recovery rates, we believe our reserves are adequate as of December 31, 2005.
Long-Term Contracts
We recognize revenue and profit as work on certain government long-term engineering, development and production contracts progresses using the contract method of accounting, which relies on estimates of the total contract cost and revenue. Estimated contract cost and revenue are based on current contract specifications, expected engineering requirements and the achievement of contract milestones, including product deliveries. Contract costs are typically incurred over a period of several years, and the estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment. The cost estimation process is based on the professional knowledge and experience of engineers and program managers along with finance professionals. We update our projections of costs at least semiannually or when circumstances significantly change. Adjustments to projected costs are recognized in net earnings when determinable. Favorable changes in estimates result in additional profit recognition, while unfavorable changes in estimates result in the reversal of previously recognized earnings. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when identified. Earnings on long-term contracts could be reduced by a material amount resulting in a charge to income if (a) total estimated contract costs are significantly higher than expected due to changes in customer specifications prior to contract amendment, (b) total estimated contract costs are significantly higher than previously estimated due to cost overruns or inflation, (c) there is a change in engineering efforts required during the development stage of the contract or (d) we are unable to meet contract milestones.
Goodwill
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances, such as declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or material adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that the carrying value of an asset might be impaired. We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2005 using the estimates from our long-term strategic plans. No adjustment was required to the carrying value of our goodwill based on the analysis performed.
Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are primarily established using a discounted cash flow methodology using assumptions consistent with market participants. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts. The revenue growth rates included in the plans are management’s
30
best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost reductions. If different assumptions were used in these plans, the related undiscounted cash flows used in measuring impairment could be different, potentially resulting in an impairment charge.
Within our Industrial segment, the Fluid Handling Products component has assumed an annual operating profit growth rate of approximately 9% over the five-year planning period driven by anticipated revenue growth of approximately 4% annually along with increased profit margins from improvements resulting from ongoing transformation efforts. A 100-basis-point reduction in the estimated operating profit growth rate from those used in our discounted cash flow model to approximately 8% would reduce the estimated fair value by up to approximately $20 million, and may result in the carrying value of the business exceeding its estimated fair value, potentially resulting in an impairment charge. At December 31, 2005, the goodwill allocated to this business totaled approximately $200 million.
Securitized Transactions
Securitized transactions involve the sale of finance receivables to qualified special purpose trusts. While the assets sold are no longer on our balance sheet, our retained interests are included in Other Assets. We may retain an interest in the transferred assets in the form of interest-only securities, seller certificates, cash reserve accounts, and servicing rights and obligations. Our retained interests are subordinate to other investors’ interests in the securitizations. Generally, we do not provide legal recourse to third-party investors that purchase interests in our securitizations beyond the credit enhancement inherent in the retained interest only securities, seller certificates and cash reserve accounts.
We estimate the fair value of the retained interests based on the present value of future cash flows expected using our best estimates of prepayment speeds, credit losses and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. These assumptions are reviewed each quarter, and the retained interests are written down when the carrying value exceeds the fair value based on revised estimates and the decline is estimated to be other than temporary. Based on our sensitivity analysis, as discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a 20% adverse change in either the prepayment speed, expected credit losses or the residual cash flows discount rate would not result in a material charge to income.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
We maintain various pension and postretirement plans for our employees globally. These plans include significant pension and postretirement benefit obligations which are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Key assumptions used in determining these obligations and related expenses include expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates and healthcare cost projections. These assumptions are evaluated and updated annually by management in consultation with outside actuaries and investment advisors. Other assumptions used include employee demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and the rate of compensation increases.
To determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, we consider the current and expected asset allocation, as well as historical and expected returns on each plan asset class. A lower expected rate of return on plan assets will increase pension expense. For 2005, we have reduced the assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in calculating pension expense to 8.57% from 8.72% in 2004. While over the past ten years, returns for the largest pool of managed retirement assets have exceeded 9.97%, the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return assumption was lowered to reflect the generally expected moderation of long-term rates of return in the financial markets, as well as the change in our investment portfolio mix. Our qualified domestic plans compose over 83% of our total pension obligations. In 2005, the assumed rate of return for our qualified domestic plans was 8.75%. A 50-basis-point decrease in this long-term rate of return would result in a $21 million annual increase in pension expense for our qualified domestic plans.
The discount rate enables us to state expected future benefit payments as a present value on the measurement date, reflecting the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled. This rate should be in line with rates for high-quality fixed income investments available for the period to maturity of the pension benefits, which fluctuate as long-term interest rates change. A lower discount rate increases the present value of the benefit obligations and increases pension expense. In 2005, we decreased our weighted-average discount rate used in calculating pension expense to 5.69% from 6.17% in 2004. For our qualified domestic plans, the assumed discount rate was 5.75% for 2005. A 50-basis-point decrease in this discount rate would result in a $32 million annual increase in pension expense for our qualified domestic plans.
The estimated accumulated benefit obligations for certain pension plans exceeded the fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 2005. However, strong asset returns and contributions to the plans reduced the shortfall during 2005. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash adjustment to shareholders’ equity for the minimum pension liability of $34 million, net of income taxes, in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it has an important effect on postretirement liabilities. The 2005 medical and prescription drug healthcare cost trend rate, which is the weighted-average annual projected rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits, was 11%. The medical rate is assumed to decrease to 5% by 2009 and then remain at that level. The prescription drug rate is expected to rise to 12%
31
in 2006, then decrease to 5% by 2013 and then remain at that level. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of a one-percentage-point change in the cost trend rate.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, we recognized future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize these benefits. We periodically assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and reflect any changes in our estimates in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), as appropriate.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Our estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, or other relevant events. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123-R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123-R requires companies to measure compensation costs for share-based payments to employees, including stock options, at fair value and expense such compensation over the service period beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the transition date for companies to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, effectively delaying Textron’s required adoption of SFAS No. 123-R until the first quarter of 2006.
Textron elected to adopt SFAS No. 123-R in the first quarter of 2005 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized in 2005 includes: a) compensation cost for all stock options and restricted stock granted prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated and recognized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and b) compensation cost for all stock options and restricted stock granted subsequent to January 1, 2005, and all share-based compensation awards accounted for as liabilities, based upon the measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123-R. For awards granted or modified in 2005 and prospectively, compensation costs for awards with only service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Compensation costs for awards granted prior to 2005 are recognized using the attribution methods required under SFAS No. 123. Upon adoption, Textron re-measured its share-based compensation awards that are accounted for as liabilities at fair value. The cumulative effect of adoption upon this re-measurement resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $1 million in the first quarter of 2005, which is not considered to be material and is recorded in selling and administrative expense.
Adoption of SFAS No. 123-R resulted in recognition of stock option costs in 2005. The stock option costs are included primarily in selling and administrative expense and totaled approximately $15 million for continuing operations and $2 million for discontinued operations in 2005. In accordance with the modified prospective method, prior periods have not been restated. No compensation expense related to stock option grants has been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2003 and 2004, as all of the options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
As of December 31, 2005, $58 million represents the total compensation cost associated with unvested share-based compensation awards subject only to service conditions that has not yet been recognized. Textron expects that this compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. As of December 31, 2005, $25 million represents the total compensation cost associated with unvested share-based compensation awards subject to performance vesting conditions that has not yet been recognized. Textron expects that this compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.
32
SFAS No. 123-R requires that the excess tax benefits received related to stock option exercises be presented as financing cash inflows. For 2005, $14 million of these excess tax benefits have been presented as cash provided by financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The valuation of stock options requires numerous assumptions. Textron determines the fair value of each option as of the date of 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.
See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risks
Our financial results are affected by changes in U.S. and foreign interest rates. As part of managing this risk, we enter into interest rate exchange agreements to convert certain floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and vice versa. The overall objective of our interest rate risk management is to achieve a prudent balance between floating- and fixed-rate debt. We continuously monitor our mix of floating- and fixed-rate debt and adjust the mix, as necessary, based on our evaluation of internal and external factors. The difference between the rates Textron Manufacturing received and the rates it paid on interest rate exchange agreements did not significantly impact interest expense in 2005, 2004 or 2003.
Within the Finance segment, a strategy of matching floating-rate assets with floating-rate liabilities limits our risk to changes in interest rates. This strategy includes the use of interest rate exchange agreements. At December 31, 2005, floating-rate liabilities in excess of floating-rate assets were $156 million, net of $2.9 billion of interest rate exchange agreements which effectively converted fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate equivalent and $122 million of interest rate exchange agreements which effectively converted fixed-rate finance receivables to a floating-rate equivalent. For Textron Finance, interest rate exchange agreements designated as hedges of debt had the effect of decreasing interest expense by $11 million, $40 million and $43 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Foreign Exchange Risks
Our 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 2005, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes from 2004 increased revenues by approximately $31 million (0.4%) and decreased segment profit by approximately $3 million (0.4%).
Textron Manufacturing manages its exposures to foreign currency assets and earnings primarily by funding certain foreign currency denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency so that certain exposures are naturally offset. During 2005, Textron Manufacturing primarily used borrowings denominated in euro and British pound sterling for these purposes.
In managing its foreign currency transaction exposures, Textron Manufacturing also enters into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts. These contracts are generally used to fix the local currency cost of purchased goods or services or selling prices denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. The notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency options and currency swaps was approximately $699 million at the end of 2005 and $493 million at the end of 2004.
Quantitative Risk Measures
In the normal course of business, we enter into financial instruments for purposes other than trading. To quantify the market risk inherent in our financial instruments, we utilize a sensitivity analysis. The financial instruments that are subject to market risk (interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and equity price risk) include finance receivables (excluding lease receivables), debt (excluding lease obligations), interest rate exchange agreements, foreign exchange contracts, marketable equity securities and marketable security price forward contracts.
Presented below is a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of financial instruments outstanding at year-end. We estimate the fair value of the financial instruments using discounted cash flow analysis and independent investment bankers. This sensitivity analysis is most likely not indicative of actual results in the future. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a hypothetical change in the fair value of the financial instruments assuming a 10% decrease in interest rates, a 10% strengthening in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and a 10% decrease in the quoted market prices of applicable marketable equity securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Textron Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management, that Textron Inc. (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Textron’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Textron Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Textron Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Textron Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 of Textron Inc. and our report dated February 13, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedule
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Textron Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Textron Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule contained on page 77. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Textron Inc. at December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Textron Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 13, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
As discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2005 Textron adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, and as discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2003 Textron adopted SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.”

Principles of Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (more than 50%) along with variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-Revised” (“FIN 46-R”). FIN 46-R requires the consolidation of variable interest entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Variable interest entities are defined as entities with a level of invested equity insufficient to fund future activities to operate on a standalone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If an entity does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity under FIN 46-R, Textron accounts for the entity under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” which requires the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries where the company has the ability to exercise control.
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 flows 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. 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.
A portion of Textron Finance’s business involves financing retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by Textron Manufacturing. 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. For example, when product is sold to a customer and financed by Textron Finance, Textron Finance records the origination of the finance receivable within investing activities as a cash outflow. Textron Manufacturing records the cash received from Textron Finance on the customer’s behalf within operating activities. Although cash is transferred between the businesses, there is no cash transaction for the consolidated group at the time of the original financing. These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2005, 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 periods have been revised to conform to this presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these statements and accompanying notes. Some of the more significant estimates include inventory
44
valuation, residual values of leased assets, allowance for credit losses on receivables, product liability, workers’ compensation, actuarial assumptions for the pension and postretirement plans, estimates of future cash flows associated with goodwill and long-lived assets, environmental and warranty reserves, and amounts reported under long-term contracts. Management’s estimates are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and management’s assessments of the probable future outcomes of these matters. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generally recognized when products are delivered or services are performed. With respect to aircraft, delivery is upon completion of manufacturing, customer acceptance, and the transfer of the risk and rewards of ownership.
When a sale arrangement involves multiple elements, such as sales of products that include customization and other services, the deliverables in the arrangement are evaluated to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. This evaluation occurs at inception of the arrangement and as each item in the arrangement is delivered. The total fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting based on its relative fair value, taking into consideration any performance, cancellation, termination or refund type provisions. Fair value for each element is established generally based on the sales price charged when the same or similar element is sold separately. Revenue is recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
Revenue from certain qualifying noncancelable aircraft and other product lease contracts are accounted for as sales-type leases. The present value of all payments (net of executory costs and any guaranteed residual values) is recorded as revenue, and the related costs of the product are charged to Cost of Sales. Generally, these leases are financed through Textron Finance, and the associated interest is recorded over the term of the lease agreement using the interest method. Lease financing transactions that do not qualify as sales-type leases are accounted for under the operating method with the revenue recorded as earned over the lease period.
Aircraft sales with guaranteed minimum resale values are viewed as leases and are accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-1, “Revenue Recognition on Sales with a Guaranteed Minimum Resale Value.” To determine whether the transaction should be classified as an operating lease or as a sales-type lease, the minimum lease payments generally represent the difference between the proceeds upon the equipment’s initial transfer and the present value of the residual value guarantee to the purchaser as of the first exercise date of the guarantee. If residual value insurance is obtained, the present value of the residual value insurance is also included in the minimum lease payments. Textron assesses the market values of the aircraft using both industry publications as well as actual sales of used aircraft. For fixed-wing aircraft, specific information related to the individual aircraft such as hours and condition may be available, and market value assessments are adjusted accordingly. For rotor aircraft, the guarantee arrangements require certain physical condition minimums and/or require the aircraft to be covered under an extended maintenance plan. Rotor aircraft fair value estimates are valued accordingly. Losses are recorded currently if the estimated market value of the aircraft at the exercise date is less than the guaranteed amount.
Long-Term Contracts
Long-term contracts are accounted for under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Revenue under fixed-price contracts is generally recorded as deliveries are made under the units-of-delivery method. Certain long-term fixed-price contracts provide for periodic delivery after a lengthy period of time over which significant costs are incurred or require a significant amount of development effort in relation to total contract volume. Revenues under those contracts and all cost-reimbursement-type contracts are recorded as costs are incurred under the cost-to-cost method. Certain contracts are awarded with fixed-price incentive fees. Incentive fees are considered when estimating revenues and profit rates and are recorded when these amounts are reasonably determinable. Long-term contract profits are based on estimates of total sales value and costs at completion. Such estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the contract life. Revisions to contract profits are recorded when the revisions to estimated sales value or costs are made. Estimated contract losses are recorded when identified.
Bell Helicopter has a joint venture with The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) to provide engineering, development and test services related to the V-22 aircraft, as well as to produce the V-22 aircraft, under a number of separate contracts with the U.S. Government (the “V-22 Contracts”). The V-22 Contracts include the development contract and various production release contracts (i.e., lots) that may run concurrently with multiple earlier lots still being produced as new lots are started. The development contract and the first three production lots are under cost-reimbursement-type contracts, while subsequent lots are under fixed-price-type contracts. The first three lots under fixed-price incentive contracts have been accounted for under the cost-to-cost method, primarily as a result of the significant engineering effort required over a lengthy period of time
45
during the initial development phase in relation to total contract volume. The production releases on the first six production lots include separately contracted modifications to meet the additional requirements of the U.S. Government’s Blue Ribbon Panel. Beginning in 2003, the development effort was considered substantially complete for the new production releases and management believed a consistent production specification had been met as these units incorporate many of these modifications on the production line. Accordingly, revenue on the new production releases that began in 2003 is recognized under the units-of-delivery method.
Finance Revenues
Finance revenues include interest on finance receivables, which is recognized using the interest method to provide a constant rate of return over the terms of the receivables. Finance revenues also include direct loan origination costs and fees received, which are deferred and amortized over the contractual lives of the respective receivables using the interest method. Unamortized amounts are recognized in revenues when receivables are sold or prepaid. Accrual of interest income is suspended for accounts that are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection is not doubtful. In addition, detailed reviews of loans may result in earlier suspension if collection is doubtful. Accrual of interest is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current, and suspended interest income is recognized at that time.
Losses on Finance Receivables
Provisions for losses on finance receivables are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover losses in the existing receivable portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance by examining current delinquencies, the characteristics of the existing accounts, historical loss experience, the value of the underlying collateral, and general economic conditions and trends. Finance receivables are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Finance receivables are written down to the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of the related collateral at the earlier of the date the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received for six months unless management deems the receivable collectible.
Loan Impairment
Textron Finance periodically evaluates finance receivables, excluding homogeneous loan portfolios and finance leases, for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that Textron Finance will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In addition, Textron Finance identifies loans that are considered impaired due to the significant modification of the original loan terms to reflect deferred principal payments generally at market interest rates but which continue to accrue finance charges since full collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. Impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of a loan with its carrying amount. Fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or, if the loan is collateral dependent, at the fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. If the fair value of the loan is less than its carrying amount, Textron Finance establishes a reserve based on this difference. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may differ from actual results.
Securitized Transactions
Textron Finance sells or securitizes loans and leases and may retain an interest in the assets sold in the form of servicing responsibilities and subordinated interests, including interest-only securities, seller certificates and cash reserves. These retained interests are subordinate to other investors’ interests in the securitizations. A gain or loss on the sale of finance receivables depends, in part, on the previous carrying amount of the finance receivables involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. Retained interests are recorded at fair value as a component of Other Assets.
Textron Finance estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected cash flows using management’s best estimates of key assumptions: credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward interest rate yield curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Textron Finance reviews the fair values of the retained interests quarterly using updated assumptions and compares such amounts with the carrying value of the retained interests. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the retained interests and the decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the retained interest is written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to income. When a change in the fair value of the retained interest is deemed temporary, any unrealized gains or losses are included in Shareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
Investments
Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value as a component of Other Assets. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, net of income taxes, are included in Shareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Investments in non-marketable equity securities are accounted for under either the cost or equity method of accounting. Textron periodically reviews investment securities for impairment based on criteria that include the duration of the market value decline, Textron’s
46
ability to hold to recovery, information regarding the market and industry trends for the investee’s business, the financial strength and specific prospects of the investee, and investment analyst reports, if available. If a decline in the fair value of an investment security is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis is written down to fair value with a charge to earnings.
In the normal course of business, Textron has entered into various joint venture agreements that are not controlled by Textron but where Textron has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies. Textron’s investments in these ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, Textron Manufacturing’s investment in these unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $16 million and $13 million, respectively, and is included in Other Assets. In addition, at January 1, 2005, distributions from one of the joint ventures exceeded Textron’s investment by $18 million. Under the equity method, only Textron’s share of the ventures’ net earnings and losses is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Textron Manufacturing’s share of net income (loss) from these ventures totaled $1 million in 2005, $(11) million in 2004 and $(14) million in 2003. Since these amounts are not considered material for separate presentation, they are included within Cost of Sales.
Textron’s joint venture agreement with Boeing creates contractual, rather than ownership, rights related to the V-22. Accordingly, Textron does not account for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Textron accounts for all of Bell Helicopter’s rights and obligations under the specific requirements of the V-22 Contracts allocated to Bell Helicopter under the joint venture agreement. Revenues and cost of sales reflect Bell Helicopter’s performance under the V-22 Contracts. All assets used in performance of the V-22 Contracts owned by Bell Helicopter, including inventory and unpaid receivables, and all liabilities arising from Bell Helicopter’s obligations under the V-22 Contracts, are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The cost of approximately 70% of inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out method (“LIFO”). The cost of remaining inventories, other than those related to certain long-term contracts, is generally valued by the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”). Costs for commercial helicopters are determined on an average cost basis by model considering the expended and estimated costs for the current production release. Customer deposits are recorded against inventory when the right of offset exists. All other customer deposits are recorded as liabilities.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated primarily using the straight-line method. Land improvements and buildings are depreciated primarily over estimated lives ranging from five to 40 years, while machinery and equipment are depreciated primarily over three to 15 years. Expenditures for improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Management assesses the recoverability of the cost of the asset based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. If an asset is held for sale, management reviews its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using pertinent market information, including appraisals or brokers’ estimates and/or projected discounted cash flows.
Goodwill
Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances, such as declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or material adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired. The reporting unit represents the operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case such component is the reporting unit. In certain instances, components of an operating segment have been aggregated and deemed to be a single reporting unit based on similar economic characteristics of the components. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are established primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts. When available, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate discounted cash flow results.
47
Derivative Financial Instruments
Textron is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and securities pricing. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, Textron nets the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For the residual portion, Textron enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to Textron’s policies in areas such as counterparty exposure and hedging practices. All derivative instruments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. Designation to support hedge accounting is performed on a specific exposure basis. Changes in fair value of financial instruments qualifying as fair value hedges are recorded in income, offset in part or in whole, by corresponding changes in the fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income, net of deferred taxes. Changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in income. Textron does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars with the adjustments from the currency rate changes recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account in Shareholders’ Equity until the related foreign entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Foreign currency financing transactions, including currency swaps, are used to effectively hedge long-term investments in foreign operations with the same corresponding currency. Foreign currency gains and losses on the hedge of the long-term investments are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss with the offset recorded as an adjustment to the non-U.S. dollar financing liability.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and variable-rate receivables and debt approximate carrying value. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, including debt, equity and risk management instruments, have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flow analysis or independent investment bankers. The estimated fair value of nonperforming loans included in finance receivables is based on discounted cash flow analyses using risk-adjusted interest rates or the fair value of the related collateral. Because considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market.
Product and Environmental Liabilities
Product liability claims are accrued on the occurrence method based on insurance coverage and deductibles in effect at the date of the incident and management’s assessment of the probability of loss when reasonably estimable.
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimated. Textron’s environmental liabilities are undiscounted and do not take into consideration possible future insurance proceeds or significant amounts from claims against other third parties.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs not specifically covered by contracts and those related to Textron’s share of research and development activity in connection with cost-sharing arrangements are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs incurred under contracts with others are reported as cost of sales over the period that revenue is recognized, consistent with Textron’s contract accounting policy.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, Textron recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that management believes it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized. Management periodically assesses the likelihood that Textron will be able to recover its deferred tax assets and reflects any changes in estimates in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), as appropriate. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management looks to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income.
Note 2. Discontinued Operations
Textron’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures reflect Textron Fastening Systems and the InteSys, OmniQuip and small business direct businesses as discontinued operations, net of applicable income taxes, for all periods presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
48
Textron Manufacturing generally uses a centralized approach to the cash management and financing of its operations and, accordingly, does not allocate debt or interest expense to its discontinued businesses. Any debt and related interest expense of a specific entity within a business is recorded by the respective entity. General corporate overhead previously allocated to the businesses for reporting purposes is excluded from amounts reported as discontinued operations.
Textron Fastening Systems – During 2005, the Textron Fastening Systems business experienced declining sales volumes and profits. Volumes were down due to soft demand in the automotive market and operating difficulties. Profits were down due to the lower volumes, a lag in the ability to recover higher steel costs and inefficiencies associated with the consolidation of manufacturing operations in North America. Due to the continuation of these conditions, further softening of demand in the North American automotive market and an expected decline in the European automotive market, Textron’s Management Committee initiated a special review at the end of August to consider strategic alternatives for the segment, including the potential sale of all or portions of its operations.
On September 6, 2005, Textron’s Board of Directors approved management’s recommendation to explore strategic alternatives for the segment. Based on the approval of this recommendation and the likelihood of execution, Textron determined on September 6, 2005 that an impairment indicator existed for both the Fastening Systems’ goodwill and its long-lived assets. In its assessment of potential impairment of the goodwill, management estimated the fair value of the business using independent third-party valuations. This fair value amount was then compared to the carrying amount of the segment. As the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, management then measured the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The excess of the fair value of the segment over the fair value amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill. The carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill, resulting in an impairment loss of $335 million recorded in the third quarter of 2005.
In December 2005, Textron’s Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Textron Fastening Systems business. With this approval, Textron has committed to actively market the segment and anticipates no significant changes to the approved plan and the completion of the sale within the next twelve months. Textron recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $52 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, which includes $37 million related to previously deferred foreign currency translation losses and $2 million of tax charges, both related to the non-U.S.-based business, as well as $7 million related to curtailment losses for employee retirement plans. After these charges, management assessed the estimated fair value of the business and determined that no further adjustment to the carrying value was required. In addition, approximately $6 million in after-tax deal-related costs primarily for professional services and advisory fees were incurred during the quarter.
InteSys – Textron reached a final decision in the fourth quarter of 2004 to sell the remainder of its InteSys operations, which was previously included in the Industrial segment. The carrying value of this business approximated fair value at the date of the decision to sell. Textron sold this business in February 2005 and recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $49 million, primarily related to a tax benefit.
OmniQuip – On August 1, 2003, Textron consummated the sale of its remaining OmniQuip business to JLG Industries, Inc. for $100 million. Prior to this consummation, Textron recorded $30 million for the impairment of $15 million in intangible assets and $15 million in goodwill based on the fair value implied by the sale price under negotiation at that time.
Textron Manufacturing retained certain liabilities of the OmniQuip business. These liabilities totaled approximately $23 million at December 31, 2005 and included reserves related to a recourse liability to cover potential losses on approximately $30 million in finance receivables held by Textron Finance. See Note 5 for further discussion on transactions between Textron’s Manufacturing and Finance borrowing groups.
Small Business Direct – In 2003, Textron Finance sold its small business direct portfolio for $421 million in cash. Based upon the terms of the transaction, no gain or loss was recorded. Textron Finance entered into a loss-sharing agreement related to the sale, which requires Textron Finance to reimburse the purchaser for 50% of losses incurred on the portfolio above a 4% annual level. Due to the nature of the loss-sharing agreement, there is no maximum guarantee amount related to the remaining $380 million portfolio. Textron Finance originally recorded a liability of $14 million representing the estimated fair value of the guarantee, which expires in 2008. As of December 31, 2005, Textron Finance has reimbursed the purchaser a total of $4 million under this agreement, and has recorded an additional $4 million liability based on revisions to the estimated fair value of the guarantee. These revisions reflect management’s best estimate of the amounts potentially reimbursable to the purchaser based on historical loss experience and the estimated attrition of the portfolio. At December 31, 2005, the estimated fair value of the guarantee was a $13 million liability.

Note 3. Acquisitions
Textron has a joint venture, CitationShares, with TAG Aviation USA, Inc. (“TAG”) to sell fractional share interests in business jets and limited advance purchase jet charter. On June 30, 2004, Textron acquired an additional 25% interest in CitationShares from TAG for cash and the assumption of debt guarantees previously provided by TAG. Assets acquired of $47 million included $22 million of inventory, primarily Citation jets, and liabilities acquired of $59 million included $47 million of third-party debt that was immediately repaid. As a result of this transaction, Textron owned 75% of CitationShares and consolidated its financial results prospectively as of June 30, 2004.
Additional cash consideration may also be payable to TAG based on CitationShares’ future operating results. In 2005, Textron increased its ownership interest to 82.2% through additional capital contributions of $26 million. TAG has the right to sell its remaining interest to Textron in the years 2009 through 2011, and Textron has the right to purchase the remaining interest in 2010 or 2011, for an amount based on a multiple of earnings.

Unbillable receivables on U.S. Government contracts arise when the revenues based on performance attainment, though appropriately recognized, cannot be billed yet under terms of the contract. Unbillable receivables within Accounts Receivable totaled $125 million at December 31, 2005 and $133 million at January 1, 2005. Long-term contract receivables due from the U.S. Government do not include significant amounts billed but unpaid due to contractual retainage provisions or subject to collection uncertainty.
Note 5. Finance Receivables and Securitizations
Finance Receivables
Textron Finance provides financial services primarily to the aircraft, golf, vacation interval resort, dealer floorplan and middle market industries under a variety of financing vehicles with various contractual maturities.
Installment contracts generally require the customer to pay a significant down payment, along with periodic scheduled principal payments that reduce the outstanding balance through the term of the loan. Finance leases include residual values expected to be realized at contractual maturity. Finance leases with no significant residual value at the end of the contractual term are classified as installment contracts, as their legal and economic substance is more equivalent to a secured borrowing than a finance lease with a significant residual value. Installment contracts and finance leases have initial terms ranging from two to 20 years and are primarily secured by the financed equipment.
Distribution finance receivables are generally secured by the inventory of the financed distributor and include floor plan financing for third-party dealers for inventory sold by the E-Z-GO and Jacobsen businesses. Revolving loans are secured by trade receivables, inventory, plant and equipment, pools of vacation interval notes receivables, pools of residential and recreational land loans, and the underlying property. Distribution finance and revolving loans generally mature within one to five years.
Golf course and resort mortgages are secured by real property and are generally limited to 75% or less of the property’s appraised market value at loan origination. Golf course mortgages have initial terms ranging from five to seven years with amortization periods from 15 to 25 years. Resort mortgages generally represent construction and inventory loans with terms up to two years. Leveraged leases are secured by the ownership of the leased equipment and real property and have initial terms up to approximately 30 years.
The following table displays the contractual maturity of the finance receivables. It does not necessarily reflect future cash collections because of various factors, including the repayment or refinancing of receivables prior to contractual maturity:

Excluding receivables with recourse to Textron Manufacturing, at the end of 2005 and 2004, Textron Finance had nonaccrual finance receivables totaling $89 million and $119 million, respectively, of which $67 million and $85 million, respectively, were impaired. In addition, Textron Finance had impaired accrual finance receivables totaling $36 million at December 31, 2005 and $58 million at January 1, 2005. The allowance for losses on finance receivables related to impaired loans is determined using assumptions related to the fair market value of the underlying collateral and totaled $18 million and $16 million at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2005 was $113 million, compared with $145 million in 2004. No interest income was recognized on these loans using the cash basis method.
Textron Finance manages and services finance receivables for a variety of investors, participants and third-party portfolio owners. The total managed and serviced finance receivable portfolio, including owned finance receivables, was $9.9 billion at the end of 2005 and $9.3 billion at the end of 2004. Managed receivables include owned finance receivables and finance receivables sold in securitizations and private transactions where Textron Finance has retained some element of credit risk and continues to service the portfolio.
At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance’s receivables were primarily diversified geographically across the United States, along with 14% in other countries. The most significant collateral concentration was in general aviation aircraft, which accounted for 19% of managed receivables. Textron Finance also has industry concentrations in the golf and vacation interval industries, which each accounted for 17% and 13%, respectively, of managed receivables at December 31, 2005.

Operating agreements specify that Textron Finance has recourse to Textron Manufacturing for certain uncollected amounts related to these transactions. For those receivables for which collection has been guaranteed by Textron Manufacturing, reserves have been established for losses on Textron Manufacturing’s balance sheet and are recorded in current or long-term liabilities. These reserves are established for amounts that are potentially uncollectible or if the collateral values may be insufficient to cover the outstanding receivable. If an account is deemed uncollectible and the collateral is repossessed, Textron Finance will charge Textron Manufacturing for any deficiency. In some cases, the collateral is not repossessed by Textron Finance, and the receivable is transferred to Textron Manufacturing’s balance sheet for additional collection efforts. When this occurs, any related reserve previously established by Textron Manufacturing is reclassified from current or long-term liabilities to a contra asset account.
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, Textron Finance paid Textron Manufacturing $0.8 billion, $0.9 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, relating to the sale of manufactured products to third parties that were financed by Textron Finance, and $41 million, $77 million and $56 million, respectively, for the purchase of equipment on operating leases. At the end of 2005 and 2004, the amounts guaranteed by Textron Manufacturing totaled $344 million and $384 million, respectively. In addition, at the end of 2005 and 2004, Textron Finance had recourse to Textron Manufacturing for leases with Collins and Aikman Corporation (“C&A”) totaling approximately $70 million and $82 million, respectively.
For finance receivables guaranteed by Textron Manufacturing, Textron Finance continues to recognize income on past-due loans that meet the nonaccrual criteria. Accordingly, these past-due loans are not classified as nonaccrual by Textron Finance. Concurrently, Textron Manufacturing is charged for its obligation to Textron Finance under the guarantee so that there are no net interest earnings for the loans on a consolidated basis. At the end of 2005 and 2004, past-due loans guaranteed by Textron Manufacturing totaled $8 million and $31 million, respectively. Reserves for losses related to these guarantees are included in Textron Manufacturing’s Other Current Liabilities and Other Liabilities and totaled $36 million and $48 million at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Securitizations
Textron Finance received proceeds of $0.4 billion in both 2005 and 2004 from the securitization and sale (with servicing rights retained) of finance receivables. Gains from securitized trust sales were approximately $49 million in 2005, $56 million in 2004 and $43 million in 2003. At the end of 2005, $2.3 billion in securitized loans were outstanding, with $9 million in past-due loans. Textron Finance has securitized certain receivables for which it has retained full recourse to Textron Manufacturing.
Textron Finance retained subordinated interests in the trusts which are approximately 2% to 10% of the total trust. Servicing fees range from 75 to 150 basis points. During 2005, key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the date of each securitization included prepayment speeds ranging from 17.5% to 24.3%, weighted-average lives ranging from 0.3 to 3.2 years, expected credit losses ranging from 0.4% to 0.5% and residual cash flows discount rates ranging from 7.1% to 9.2%. At December 31, 2005, key economic assumptions used in measuring these retained interests were as follows:

53
Hypothetical adverse changes of 10% and 20% to either the prepayment speed, expected credit losses or residual cash flows discount rates assumptions would not have a material impact on the current fair value of the residual cash flows associated with the retained interests. These hypothetical sensitivities should be used with caution, as the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, a change in one factor may result in a change in another factor that may magnify or counteract the sensitivities losses. For example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses.

Inventories aggregating $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively, were valued by the LIFO method. Had such LIFO inventories been valued at current costs, their carrying values would have been approximately $251 million and $221 million higher at those respective dates. The remaining inventories, other than those related to certain long-term contracts, are valued primarily by the FIFO method. Inventories related to long-term contracts, net of progress/milestone payments were $350 million at the end of 2005 and $259 million at the end of 2004.

Textron Finance has committed bank lines of credit of $1.5 billion, of which $500 million expires in July 2006 and $1.0 billion expires in 2010. The $500 million facility includes a one-year term out option that can effectively extend its expiration into 2007. Textron Finance’s lines of credit, not reserved as support for outstanding commercial paper or letters of credit at December 31, 2005, were $300 million. None of these lines of credit was used at December 31, 2005 or January 1, 2005. Lending agreements limit Textron Finance’s net assets available for dividends and other payments to Textron Manufacturing to approximately $384 million of Textron Finance’s net assets of $1.1 billion at the end of 2005. These lending agreements also contain various restrictive provisions regarding additional debt (not to exceed 800% of consolidated net worth and qualifying subordinated obligations), minimum net worth ($200 million), creation of liens and the maintenance of a fixed charges coverage ratio (no less than 125%).
The following table shows required payments during the next five years on debt outstanding at the end of 2005. The payment schedule excludes amounts that are payable under or supported by the primary revolving credit facilities or revolving lines of credit:

Textron Manufacturing has agreed to cause Textron Finance to maintain certain minimum levels of financial performance. No payments from Textron Manufacturing were necessary in 2005, 2004 or 2003 for Textron Finance to meet these standards.
Cash paid for interest by Textron Manufacturing totaled $108 million, $106 million and $113 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and included $5 million, $4 million and $5 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, paid to Textron Finance. Cash paid for interest by Textron Finance totaled $204 million, $157 million and $182 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Note 10. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
Fair Value Interest Rate Hedges
Textron Manufacturing manages interest cost using a mix of fixed- and variable-rate debt. To manage this mix in a cost efficient manner, Textron Manufacturing enters into interest rate exchange agreements to swap, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These hedges are considered perfectly effective since the critical terms of the debt and the interest rate exchange match and the other conditions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” are met. The mark-to-market values of both the fair value hedge instruments and underlying debt obligations are recorded as equal and offsetting realized gains and losses in Interest Expense. At December 31, 2005, Textron Manufacturing had interest rate exchange agreements with a fair value liability of $10 million. In addition, Textron Manufacturing had $5 million of deferred gains related to discontinued hedges that are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest Expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt of 33 months.
Textron Finance enters into interest rate exchange agreements in order to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate portfolios of receivables and debt due to fluctuations in interest rates. These agreements convert the fixed-rate cash flows to floating-rate cash flows. At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had interest exchange agreements with a fair value liability of $43 million designated as fair value hedges, compared with $11 million at January 1, 2005.
Textron Finance utilizes foreign currency interest rate exchange agreements to hedge its exposure, in a Canadian dollar functional currency subsidiary, to changes in the fair value of $60 million U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate debt as a result of changes in both foreign currency exchange rates and Canadian Banker’s Acceptance rates. At December 31, 2005, these instruments had a fair value liability of $9 million, compared with $6 million at January 1, 2005. Textron Finance’s fair value hedges are highly effective, resulting in an immaterial net impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness.
Cash Flow Interest Rate Hedges
Textron Finance enters into interest rate exchange, cap and floor agreements to mitigate its exposure to variability in the cash flows received from its investments in interest-only securities resulting from securitizations, which is caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The combination of these instruments convert net residual floating-rate cash flows expected to be received by Textron Finance as a result of the securitization trust’s assets, liabilities and derivative instruments to fixed-rate cash flows. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded net of the income
56
tax effect in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). At December 31, 2005, these instruments had a fair value liability of $5 million, compared with $8 million at January 1, 2005. Textron Finance expects approximately $0.2 million of net tax deferred gains to be reclassified to earnings related to these hedge relationships in 2006.
At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had $4 million of deferred losses, net of income taxes, recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to terminated forward starting interest rate exchange agreements. These agreements were executed to hedge the exposure to the variability in cash flows from anticipated future issuances of fixed-rate debt and were terminated upon issuance of the debt. Textron Finance is amortizing the deferred losses into Interest Expense over the remaining life of the hedged debt of 26 months and expects approximately $2 million, in deferred losses, net of income taxes, to be reclassified to earnings in 2006.
For cash flow hedges, Textron Finance recorded an after-tax loss of $5 million in 2005 and $7 million in 2004 and a gain of $12 million in 2003 to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss with no impact to the Statements of Operations. Textron Finance has not incurred or recognized any significant net gain or loss in earnings as the result of the ineffectiveness, or the exclusion of any component from its assessment of hedge effectiveness, of its cash flow hedges in 2005 and 2004.
Textron had minimal exposure to loss from nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate exchange agreements at the end of 2005 and does not anticipate nonperformance by counterparties in the periodic settlements of amounts due. Textron currently minimizes this potential for risk by entering into contracts exclusively with major, financially sound counterparties having no less than a long-term bond rating of “A,” by continuously monitoring such credit ratings and by limiting exposure to any one financial institution. The credit risk generally is limited to the amount by which the counterparties’ contractual obligations exceed Textron’s obligations to the counterparty.
Cash Flow Foreign Exchange Rate Hedges
Textron manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The primary purpose of Textron’s foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases of materials, foreign currency sales of its products, and other assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. Textron primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts and purchased options with maturities of no more than 18 months that qualify as cash flow hedges. These are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses. The fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2005 was a $23 million receivable. At year-end 2005, a $21 million after-tax gain was reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss from qualifying cash flow hedges. This gain is generally expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months as the underlying transactions occur. Textron Manufacturing also enters into certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not meet hedge accounting criteria and are primarily intended to protect against exposure related to intercompany financing transactions and income from international operations. The fair value of these instruments at the end of 2005 and the net impact of the related gains and losses on selling and administrative expense in 2005 were not material.
Net Investment Hedging
Textron hedges its net investment position in major currencies and generates foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, Textron borrows directly in foreign currency and designates a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of net investments. Textron may also utilize currency forwards as hedges of its related foreign net investments. Currency effects of these hedges, which are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment account within Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), produced a $49 million after-tax gain during 2005, leaving an accumulated net income balance of $30 million.
Stock-Based Compensation Hedging
Textron manages the expense related to stock-based compensation awards using cash settlement forward contracts on its common stock. The use of these forward contracts modifies compensation expense exposure to changes in the stock price with the intent to reduce potential variability. The fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 was a receivable of $10 million and $31 million, respectively. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded as an adjustment to compensation expense when the award is charged to expense. These contracts impacted net income by $8 million in 2005, $28 million in 2004 and $23 million in 2003. Cash received or paid on the contract settlement is included in cash flows from operating activities, consistent with the classification of the cash flows on the underlying hedged compensation expense.

Note 11. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
Textron adopted SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” in the third quarter of 2003. Upon adoption, Textron Finance classified its obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities previously classified as equity as a liability.
In June 2004, Textron Financial Corporation redeemed all of its $26 million Litchfield 10% Series A Junior Subordinated Debentures, due 2029. The debentures were held by a trust sponsored and wholly owned by Litchfield Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron Financial Corporation. The proceeds from the redemption were used to redeem all of the $26 million Litchfield Capital Trust I 10% Series A Trust Preferred Securities at par value of $10 per share. There was no gain or loss on the redemption.
In July 2003, Textron redeemed its 7.92% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, due 2045. The debentures were held by Textron’s wholly owned trust, and the proceeds from their redemption were used to redeem all of the $500 million Textron Capital I trust preferred securities with a 7.92% dividend yield. Upon the redemption, $15 million in unamortized issuance costs were written off and recorded in Special Charges.
Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity
Capital Stock
Textron has authorization for 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of 12.5 cent per share par value common stock. Each share of $2.08 Preferred Stock ($23.63 approximate stated value) is convertible into 4.4 shares of common stock and can be redeemed by Textron for $50 per share. Each share of $1.40 Preferred Dividend Stock ($11.82 approximate stated value) is convertible into 3.6 shares of common stock and can be redeemed by Textron for $45 per share.
Reserved Shares of Common Stock
At the end of 2005, common stock reserved for the subsequent conversion of preferred stock and shares reserved for the exercise of stock options were 2,596,000 and 8,146,000, respectively.

Note 13. Share-Based Compensation
Summary of Share-Based Compensation Plans
Textron’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes awards to key employees of Textron in the form of options to purchase Textron shares and restricted stock. Options to purchase Textron shares have a maximum term of ten years and, beginning with 2004 grants, vest ratably over a three-year period. Grants awarded prior to 2004 vested ratably over two years. Restricted stock grants vest one-third each in the third, fourth and fifth year following the grant. The maximum number of shares authorized under the Plan includes 17.5 million options to purchase Textron shares and two million shares of restricted stock. Textron also provides share-based compensation awards payable in cash, including retention awards to certain executives and performance share units. Payouts under performance share units vary based on certain performance criteria measured over a three-year period. The performance share units vest at the end of three years.
The Deferred Income Plan for Textron Key Executives (the “DIP”) provides participants the opportunity to voluntarily defer up to 25% of their base salary and up to 100% of annual and long-term incentive compensation and other compensation. Elective deferrals may be put into either a stock unit account or an interest bearing account. Textron generally contributes a 10% premium on amounts deferred into the stock unit account. Executives who are eligible to participate in the DIP who have not achieved and/or maintained the required minimum stock ownership level are required to defer annual incentive compensation in excess of 100% of the executive’s annual target into a deferred stock unit account and are not entitled to the 10% premium contribution on the amount deferred. Participants cannot move amounts between the two accounts while actively employed by Textron and cannot receive distributions until termination of employment.
Change in Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123-R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). SFAS No. 123-R requires companies to measure compensation costs for share-based payments to employees, including stock options, at fair value and expense such compensation over the service period beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the transition date for companies to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, effectively delaying Textron’s required adoption of SFAS No. 123-R until the first quarter of 2006.
Prior to 2005, Textron accounted for share-based payments, including stock options issued under its Plan, using the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25.
Textron elected to adopt SFAS No. 123-R in the first quarter of 2005 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized in 2005 includes: a) compensation cost for all stock options and restricted stock granted prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated and recognized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and b) compensation cost for all stock options and restricted stock granted subsequent to January 1, 2005, and all share-based compensation awards accounted for as liabilities, based upon the measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123-R. For awards granted or modified in 2005
59
and prospectively, compensation costs for awards with only service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Compensation costs for awards granted prior to 2005 are recognized using the attribution methods required under SFAS No. 123. Upon adoption, Textron re-measured its share-based compensation awards that are accounted for as liabilities at fair value. The cumulative effect of adoption upon this re-measurement resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $1 million in the first quarter of 2005, which is not considered to be material and is recorded in selling and administrative expense. SFAS No. 123-R requires that the excess tax benefits received related to stock option exercises be presented as financing cash inflows. For 2005, $14 million of these excess tax benefits have been presented as cash provided by financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The compensation expense that has been recorded in net income for Textron’s share-based compensation plans is as follows:

Included in the table above are net compensation costs recorded in discontinued operations of $2 million in 2005 and $1 million in 2004. Share-based compensation costs have been reflected primarily in selling and administrative expenses. For 2005, the expense includes attribution of the fair value of options issued, as well as the portion of previously granted options for which the requisite service was rendered, totaling approximately $17 million. Of this amount, approximately $15 million has been recorded in continuing operations and $2 million in discontinued operations.

Impact of SFAS No. 123-R Adoption on Prior Periods
No compensation expense related to stock option grants has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, as all of the options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

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 $20, $14 and $10 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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:

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 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $71, $57 and $40 per share, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Awards Accounted for as Liabilities
The fair value of share-based compensation awards accounted for as liabilities includes performance share units, retention awards and DIP stock unit awards. The fair value of these awards is based on the trading price of Textron common stock, less adjustments to reflect the fair value of the award as dividends are not paid or accrued until vested, and is remeasured at each reporting period date.
Share-Based Compensation Awards
The value of the share-based compensation awards that vested and/or were paid during the respective periods is as follows:

As of December 31, 2005, $58 million represents the total compensation cost associated with unvested awards subject only to service conditions that has not yet been recognized. Textron expects that this compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. As of December 31, 2005, $25 million represents the total compensation cost associated with unvested share-based compensation awards subject to performance vesting conditions that has not yet been recognized. Textron expects that this compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.
Note 14. Pension Benefits and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Textron has defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans that together cover substantially all employees. The cost of the defined contribution plans amounted to approximately $45 million in 2005, $23 million in 2004 and $15 million in 2003. The increase in cost related to the defined contribution plans reflects changes to Textron’s matching contribution rate over the past three years. In April 2003, Textron temporarily suspended matching contributions to its U.S.-based defined contribution plans for non-bargained employees. Effective January 1, 2004, the matching contributions were partially reinstated, with Textron matching $0.25 for each $1.00 of employee contribution up to a maximum Textron matching contribution of 2.5% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions were raised to their original level of $0.50 for each $1.00 of employee contribution up to a maximum Textron matching contribution of 5% of eligible compensation in August 2004.
Defined benefits under salaried plans are based on salary and years of service. Hourly plans generally provide benefits based on stated amounts for each year of service. Textron’s funding policy is consistent with federal law and regulations. Textron also offers healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees, which are included below under the “Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” caption.

Pension Benefits
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $4.7 billion at December 31, 2005 and $5.0 billion at January 1, 2005. Pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets were as follows at year-end:

In addition to the plans in the above table, at January 1, 2005 Textron had plans with an aggregate fair value of plan assets of $40 million, a projected benefit obligation of $63 million and an accumulated benefit obligation of $41 million.
64
Textron’s pension assets are invested with the objective of achieving a total rate of return, over the long term, sufficient to fund future pension obligations and to minimize future pension contributions. Textron is willing to tolerate a commensurate level of risk to achieve this objective based on the funded status of the plans and the long-term nature of Textron’s pension liability. Risk is controlled by maintaining a portfolio of assets that is diversified across a variety of asset classes, investment styles and investment managers. All of the assets are managed by external investment managers, and the majority of the assets are actively managed. Where possible, investment managers are prohibited from owning Textron stock in the portfolios that they manage on behalf of Textron.
For U.S. plan assets, comprising the majority of plan assets, asset allocation target ranges were established consistent with the investment objectives, and the assets are rebalanced periodically. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was determined based on a variety of considerations, including the established asset allocation targets and expectations for those asset classes, historical returns of the plans’ assets and the advice of outside advisors. At December 31, 2005, the target allocation range is 44% - 70% for equity securities, 13% - 33% for debt securities and 7% - 13% for both real estate and for other assets. For foreign plan assets, allocations are based on expected cash flow needs and assessments of the local markets. Textron’s percentages of the fair value of total pension plan assets by major category are as follows:

Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
For measurement purposes, Textron has assumed an annual medical and prescription drug healthcare cost trend rate of 11% for covered healthcare benefits in 2005. The medical rate is assumed to decrease to 5% by 2009 and remain at that level. The prescription drug rate is expected to rise to 12% in 2006, then decrease to 5% by 2013 and remain at that level. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects:

During the third quarter of 2004, Textron adopted FASB Staff Position No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the “Act”). The Act provides for a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare benefit plans that provide benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Textron has determined that the benefits it provides meet the equivalency tests as defined in the Act and has included the effects of the subsidy as a reduction to the accumulated projected benefit obligation of approximately $50 million. The total impact of the subsidy on the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefits other than pensions in 2005 and 2004 was approximately $10 million and $7 million, respectively.
Estimated Future Cash Flow Impact
In 2006, Textron expects to contribute in the range of $25 million to $30 million to fund its qualified pension plans and does not expect to contribute to its other postretirement benefit plans. The benefit payments provided below reflect expected future employee service, as appropriate, that are expected to be paid, net of estimated participant contributions. The benefit payments are based on the same assumptions used to measure Textron’s benefit obligation at the end of fiscal 2005. Pension benefit payments will primarily be made out of qualified pension trusts. Postretirement benefits other than pensions are paid out of Textron’s assets.

At December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, Textron had non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $95 million and $94 million, respectively, of which $78 million and $82 million, respectively, can be carried forward indefinitely. The balance expires at various dates through 2020. At January 1, 2005, Textron had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $64 million that were utilized in 2005. At December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, Textron had federal and state credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of $23 million and $15 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal and state tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2015.
A valuation allowance at December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 of $116 million and $125 million, respectively, has been recognized to offset the related deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the deferred tax assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance was primarily related to deferred tax assets resulting from minimum pension liability adjustments recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for certain foreign jurisdictions and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by a valuation allowance related to contingent receipts.
Textron’s income taxes payable for federal and state purposes have been reduced by the tax benefits from employee stock options. Textron receives an income tax benefit for certain stock options calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the stock issued at the time of exercise and the option price, tax effected. See Note 13 for the net tax benefits to employee stock options.
The undistributed earnings of Textron’s foreign subsidiaries on which tax is not provided, which approximated $530 million at the end of 2005, are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. If the earnings of foreign subsidiaries were distributed, taxes, net of foreign tax credits, would be increased by approximately $111 million in 2005.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (“AJCA”) was signed into law and includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. During 2005, Textron repatriated $435 million in cash from foreign subsidiaries under this provision related to continuing operations. Tax expense of $0.9 million and $11 million was recognized in 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to this repatriation. In addition, Textron repatriated approximately $183 million in cash related to its discontinued operations and recorded related tax expense of $2 million in 2005.
67
Cash payments for taxes, net of tax refunds received, for Textron Manufacturing excluding discontinued operations totaled $107 million in 2005, $(16) million in 2004 and $(38) million in 2003. Cash payments for taxes, net of tax refunds, for discontinued operations totaled $(33) million in 2005, $(16) million in 2004 and $(120) million in 2003. Cash payments for taxes, net of tax refunds, for Textron Finance totaled $22 million in 2005, $61 million in 2004 and $(6) million in 2003.

Restructuring Program
Textron substantially completed its company-wide restructuring program at the end of 2005. Textron approved and committed to a restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2000 to improve returns at core businesses and to complete the integration of certain acquisitions. This program was expanded in 2001 and in 2002 as part of Textron’s strategic effort to improve operating efficiencies. Textron’s restructuring program included corporate and segment direct and indirect workforce reductions, consolidation of facilities, rationalization of certain product lines, outsourcing of non-core production activity, the divestiture of non-core businesses and the streamlining of sales and administrative overhead. Under this program, Textron reduced its workforce by approximately 8,000 employees from continuing operations, representing approximately 19% of its global workforce since the program was first announced, and has closed 85 facilities.
As of December 31, 2005, Textron had incurred total program costs of $306 million, which is composed of $164 million in severance costs, $44 million in contract termination costs, $34 million in asset impairment charges (net of gains on the sale of fixed assets) and $64 million in other associated costs. Total program costs incurred by segment include $219 million in the Industrial segment, $38 million in the Cessna segment, $29 million in the Bell segment, $9 million in the Finance segment and $11 million at Corporate.

Severance costs are generally paid on a monthly basis over the severance period granted to each employee or on a lump sum basis when required. Severance costs include outplacement costs, which are paid in accordance with normal payment terms. Contract termination costs are generally paid upon exiting the facility or over the remaining lease term. Other associated costs primarily include outsourcing certain operations, plant rearrangement, machinery and equipment relocation, and employee replacement and relocation costs, which are paid in accordance with normal payment terms.
Other Charges (Gain)
In connection with the disposition of Automotive Trim to subsidiaries of Collins & Aikman Corporation (“C&A”), Textron Finance has recourse to Textron Manufacturing for equipment leases with the subsidiaries. The outstanding balance on these leases totaled approximately $70 million at December 31, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the lease term for these leases expired and C&A failed to make one of its lease payments. While Textron Finance is currently in negotiations with C&A to renew these leases, Textron Manufacturing recorded an additional reserve of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 based on uncertainties related to these leases. Consistent with other C&A-related charges and gains, Textron recorded this charge in Special Charges.
In addition to the Textron Finance equipment leases, certain operating leases were transferred and assigned to subsidiaries of C&A upon the sale of Trim. As discussed in Note 18, Textron has guaranteed C&A’s payments under these operating leases and certain environmental matters. In May 2005, C&A and substantially all of its subsidiaries, including C&A Products Co. (“C&A Products”), 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. Based on C&A’s recent failure to pay certain leases, as well as the negotiations entered into as part of the potential sale of C&A’s European operations, Textron recorded $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cover its exposure under these leases, along with certain environmental and workers’ compensation matters. Consistent with other C&A-related charges and gains, Textron recorded this charge in Special Charges.
Textron also acquired preferred stock in C&A Products and C&A common stock in connection with the Trim disposition. In March 2005, Textron agreed to sell approximately 60 percent of its preferred stock in C&A Products to Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. (“Heartland”) for a combination of cash and other consideration with a total value of approximately $25 million. Heartland also had the option to purchase the remaining preferred shares for an aggregate price of $20 million. Textron recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $52 million in the first quarter of 2005 to write down the preferred shares to fair market value based on the value determined by the agreement and other market considerations. With C&A Products’ filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Heartland’s obligation to purchase the preferred stock was effectively terminated. Based on relevant market considerations, Textron recorded approximately $39 million in Special Charges in the second quarter of 2005 to write off the remaining book value of its investment in the preferred stock.
69
In 2004, Textron sold its remaining investment in C&A common stock for cash proceeds of $34 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million in Special Charges.
In 2003, Textron redeemed its 7.92% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2045. The debentures were held by Textron’s wholly owned trust, and the proceeds from their redemption were used to redeem all of the $500 million Textron Capital I trust preferred securities. Upon the redemption, $15 million of unamortized issuance costs were written off and recorded in Special Charges.
Note 17. 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. 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. On July 11, 2005, Lycoming issued a service bulletin covering certain non-turbocharged aircraft engines to replace crankshafts manufactured by the former supplier with new FAA-certified crankshafts. The service bulletin covers approximately 1,100 crankshafts and requires the affected crankshafts to be replaced within the earlier of the next 50 hours of operation or six months. An additional $5 million was accrued in the second quarter of 2005 to increase existing reserves for this matter. In November, this service bulletin was amended to include an additional 325 engines and an additional $3 million was recorded.
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. This program is being discussed with the FAA and is expected to be implemented in early 2006. 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 to cover the expected cost of this planned retirement program. As of December 31, 2005, reserves to cover costs directly related to crankshafts provided by the former supplier totaled $23 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 verdicts and believes that it is probable that they will be reversed through the appellate process.
Research and Development Arrangements
As part of the realignment of Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company LLC (“BAAC”) (see Note 19), Bell Helicopter, Agusta S.p.A. and two of its affiliated companies (collectively, “Agusta”) have agreed to share certain Model BA609 development costs. On behalf of BAAC, Agusta will incur development costs to enhance its investment in BAAC. These development costs will be recorded by Textron in consolidation as research and development expense, with a credit to minority interest for Agusta’s share. Agusta may also make cash contributions to reimburse portions of Bell Helicopter’s development costs incurred on behalf of BAAC. Based on development costs incurred, Bell received $43 million in cash contributions from Agusta, which were recorded in income in 2005.
70
During 2005, Bell Helicopter entered into four separate risk-sharing arrangements. Two of the arrangements are with commercial participants in the development of the Bell Model 429 aircraft. The arrangements require contributions from the participants totaling $20 million, which are due once the development effort reaches certain predetermined milestones, as well as in-kind development contributions from one participant. The other two arrangements are with Canadian governmental organizations. These arrangements, which currently include the Model 429 aircraft and may potentially include certain future aircraft, each require cash contributions of up to CAD 115 million from the participants, based on a percentage of qualifying research and development costs incurred.
Each of the participants under these arrangements is entitled to payments from Bell Helicopter, with the commercial participants also entitled to discounts, based on future sales of the Model 429 aircraft. In addition, there are certain requirements related to production of future Model 429 aircraft in Canada, and one of the commercial participants is entitled to perform certain manufacturing functions for the Model 429 aircraft. Based on the development activities completed and costs incurred in the current and prior periods through December 31, 2005, $35 million has been recorded in income related to these arrangements.
Environmental Remediation
As with other industrial enterprises engaged in similar businesses, Textron is involved in a number of remedial actions under various federal and state laws and regulations relating to the environment that impose liability on companies to clean up, or contribute to the cost of cleaning up, sites on which hazardous wastes or materials were disposed or released. Expenditures to evaluate and remediate contaminated sites approximated $6 million in each of the three years ended December 31, 2005.
Textron’s accrued estimated environmental liabilities are based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties. Accrued liabilities relate to disposal costs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency oversight costs, legal fees, and operating and maintenance costs for both currently and formerly owned or operated facilities. Circumstances that can affect the reliability and precision of the accruals include the identification of additional sites, environmental regulations, level of cleanup required, technologies available, number and financial condition of other contributors to remediation, and the time period over which remediation may occur. Textron believes that any changes to the accruals that may result from these factors and uncertainties will not have a material effect on Textron’s financial position or results of operations. Based upon information currently available, Textron estimates potential environmental liabilities to be in the range of $44 million to $143 million. At the end of 2005, environmental reserves of approximately $66 million, of which $12 million are classified as current liabilities, have been established to address these specific estimated potential liabilities. Textron estimates that its accrued environmental remediation liabilities will likely be paid over the next five to ten years.
Note 18. Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Textron enters into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, as discussed below.
Guarantees
Textron has joint venture agreements with external financing arrangements for which Textron has guaranteed approximately $15 million in debt obligations, including approximately $5 million related to discontinued operations. Textron would be required to make payments under these guarantees if a joint venture defaults under the debt agreements.
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.
71
For 2005, AWB LLC’s maximum obligation is 20% of the total contract value, which equates to $232 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion. In 2006, AWB LLC’s maximum obligation increases to 40%, or $464 million, and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter’s liability under the guarantee is $114 million at December 31, 2005 and will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
In the ordinary course of business, Textron enters into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions, principally to guarantee payment or performance to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. At December 31, 2005, there were $155 million of standby letters of credit outstanding and $91 million of surety bonds outstanding. Management knows of no event of default that would require Textron to satisfy these guarantees at the end of 2005.
Textron has a number of guaranteed minimum resale value contracts associated with certain past aircraft sales. These guarantees require Textron to make possible future payments to a customer in the event that the fair value of an aircraft falls below a minimum guaranteed amount or to stipulate a minimum trade-in value. The agreements generally include operating restrictions such as maximum usage over the guarantee period or minimum maintenance requirements. In addition, Textron has guaranteed the minimum resale value of certain customer-owned aircraft anticipated to be traded in upon completion of a model currently under development. Textron has recorded a $3 million liability related to the estimated fair value of the guarantee under these agreements. The total amount of resale value guaranteed under these agreements at December 31, 2005 was approximately $31 million. Based on the estimated fair values of the guaranteed aircraft prevailing at December 31, 2005, there was no additional liability related to Textron’s obligation under these agreements. The guarantee contracts expire as follows: $3 million in 2006, $2 million in 2008, $3 million in 2009, $2 million in 2010, $2 million in 2011 and $19 million in 2012.
Textron Finance sells receivables in whole-loan sales where limited credit enhancement is typically provided in the form of a contingent liability related to finance receivable credit losses and, to a lesser extent, prepayment risk. Textron Finance has a contingent liability related to the sale of equipment lease rental streams in 2003 and 2001. The maximum liability at December 31, 2005 was $42 million. Textron Finance has valued this recourse liability based on assumptions for annual credit losses and prepayment rates of 0.25% and 7.50%, respectively.
In connection with the sale of a note receivable in 2005, Textron Finance indemnified the purchaser against potential losses in limited circumstances. The maximum potential exposure of the indemnity is estimated to be $29 million, but due to the extremely low probability of occurrence and several other mitigating factors, including a specific indemnification from the original note issuer, no significant fair value has been attributed to the indemnity.
In connection with the disposition of Trim, certain operating leases were transferred and assigned to subsidiaries of 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 has an indemnification agreement with C&A for Textron’s guarantee to a third party related to a specific environmental matter. As discussed in Note 16, C&A’s filing for bankruptcy protection has 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. In the third quarter of 2005, Textron received a demand notice from the third party related to the specific environmental matter. Textron will seek indemnification from C&A for any amounts it is required to pay for this matter. Textron is required to make payments under the other guarantees upon default by C&A. 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, management anticipates ongoing negotiations related to the guarantee of a leased European facility. Management will continue to monitor C&A’s performance and Textron’s reserves related to these matters. Textron has reserved $8 million based on management’s best estimate of Textron’s exposure under these guarantees.
Leases
Rental expense approximated $89 million, $89 million and $86 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments for noncancelable operating leases in effect at the end of 2005 approximated $57 million for 2006, $42 million for 2007, $33 million for 2008, $30 million for 2009, $26 million for 2010 and a total of $120 million thereafter.
Loan Commitments
At December 31, 2005, Textron Finance had unused commitments to fund new and existing customers under $1.2 billion of committed revolving lines of credit, compared with $1.0 billion at January 1, 2005. Generally, interest rates on these commitments are not set until the loans are funded so Textron Finance is not exposed to interest rate changes. Since many of the agreements will not be used to the extent committed or will expire unused, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Note 19. Variable Interest Entities
BAAC is a joint venture established in 1998 between Bell Helicopter and a predecessor of Agusta S.p.A. to share certain costs and profits for the joint design, development, manufacture, marketing, sale, customer training and product support of the civil tiltrotor Model BA609 and until December 2005, the commercial helicopter Model AB139. This venture is a variable interest entity since it relies on its partners to fund the development and provide services for substantially all of the ventures’ operations.
On December 20, 2005, Bell Helicopter and Agusta entered into a realignment of BAAC, which included the sale by Bell Helicopter of its 25% profit interest in the Model AB139 medium twin helicopter program to Agusta. Agusta assumed ownership of all aspects of the Model AB139 program from BAAC, including all existing customer obligations. In exchange for its interest, Bell Helicopter received $10 million in cash, a $20 million note and a note for contingent payments from Agusta based on future Model AB139 sales. Bell Helicopter recognized a $30 million pre-tax gain upon the sale of its interest which is included in Segment Profit. The contingent receipts are expected to begin with aircraft deliveries in 2008 and will be recorded into income prospectively as the future sales occur.
In addition, the realignment allows Agusta to increase its profit interest in the Model BA609 from the original 25% to a maximum of 40% by increasing its investment during the development phase. These development activities may include cash contributions to reimburse Bell Helicopter for certain development costs incurred on behalf of BAAC (see Note 17). At year-end, Agusta’s profit interest was approximately 31%.
Prior to the realignment, only certain marketing and administrative costs were charged to BAAC, while development costs were recorded separately by the parties, with Bell Helicopter’s share of the development costs charged to Textron’s earnings as a period expense. As a result of the realignment, BAAC now includes only the Model BA609 tiltrotor, and Bell Helicopter has a controlling voting interest in BAAC. Accordingly, Bell Helicopter will absorb more than half of BAAC’s expected losses and residual returns. As a result, Textron has consolidated BAAC prospectively as of December 20, 2005.

Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts
Textron provides limited warranty and product maintenance programs, including parts and labor, for certain products for periods ranging from one to five years. Textron estimates the costs that may be incurred under warranty programs and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect this liability include the number of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Textron periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty and product maintenance liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Customer-funded research and development costs are primarily related to U.S. Government contracts, including the V-22 and H-1 development contracts.
Note 21. Segment Reporting and Geographic Data
Textron has four reportable segments: Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance. See Note 1 for the principal markets, and Item 1. Business of Textron on pages 1 through 5 for products, of the segments.
Textron’s reportable segments are strategically aligned based on the manner in which Textron manages its various operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Textron evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. Segment profit for Textron Manufacturing excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, special charges, and gains and losses from the disposition of significant business units. Textron Finance includes interest income and expense and excludes special charges and, in 2003, included distributions on preferred securities of the Finance subsidiary trust, as part of segment profit. 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.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures – We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (our “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 year 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
77
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.
Report of Management – See page 36.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting – See page 37.
Changes in Internal Controls – On January 2, 2005, Textron engaged a third-party service provider to assume operational control and day to day management of Textron’s information technology infrastructure. During the fourth quarter of 2005, Textron continued its transfer of operational control and day to day management of its information technology infrastructure to the third-party service provider. The third-party service provider has responsibilities, under Textron’s oversight, for managing Textron’s networks and help desks, and maintaining mainframes, midrange servers and workstations located at both Textron and the third-party service provider locations. This transfer has materially affected Textron’s internal control over financial reporting related to its information technology infrastructure. We believe that we have taken appropriate actions to ensure that effective internal controls over financial reporting associated with the transfer have been and will continue to be maintained during the transition period.
