Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2003
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Federal-Mogul Corporation (“Federal-Mogul” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Certain items in the 2002 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in 2003.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This pronouncement addresses accounting and financial reporting for costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring) or with the disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 94-3. Under SFAS No. 146, a liability is recorded for a cost associated with an exit activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 does not allow for the restatement of previously issued financial statements and grandfathers the accounting for liabilities previously recorded under EITF Issue No. 94-3. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities
Equity investments that comprise more than 20% but less than 50% of the outstanding equity of the investee are accounted for by the equity investment method and are not consolidated. Such investments aggregated $134.5 million and $129.7 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, and are included in the consolidated balance sheets as “other noncurrent assets”. Net income from non-consolidated equity investments was $8.9 million and $5.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net income from non-consolidated equity investments was $14.7 million and $11.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net income from non-consolidated equity investments is included in the statements of operations as “other income, net”.
2. | VOLUNTARY REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 AND ADMINISTRATION |
On October 1, 2001 (the “Petition Date”), Federal-Mogul Corporation and all of its wholly-owned United States subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “U.S. Restructuring”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Also on October 1, 2001, certain of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and petitions for Administration (the “U.K. Restructuring”) under the United Kingdom Insolvency Act of 1986 (the “Act”) in the High Court of Justice, Chancery division in London, England (the “High Court”). The Company and its U.S. and

Table of Contents
U.K. subsidiaries included in the U.S. Restructuring and U.K. Restructuring are herein referred to as the “Debtors”. The U.S. Restructuring and U.K. Restructuring are herein referred to as the “Restructuring Proceedings”. The Chapter 11 cases of the Debtors (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) have been consolidated for purposes of joint administration asIn re: Federal-Mogul Global Inc., T&N Limited, et. al (Case No. 01-10578(SLR)). The Chapter 11 Cases do not include any of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the U.K. subsidiaries mentioned above.
The Restructuring Proceedings were initiated in response to a sharply increasing number of asbestos-related claims and their related demand on the Company’s cash flows. Under the Restructuring Proceedings, the Debtors expect to develop and implement a plan for addressing the asbestos-related claims against them.
Consequences of the Restructuring Proceedings
The U.S. Debtors are operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The U.K. Debtors are continuing to manage their operations under the supervision of an Administrator approved by the High Court. All vendors will be paid for all goods furnished and services provided after the Petition Date. However, as a consequence of the Restructuring Proceedings, all pending litigation against the Debtors as of the Petition Date is stayed (subject to certain exceptions in the case of governmental authorities), and no party may take any action to pursue or collect pre-petition claims except pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or the High Court as applicable. It is the Debtors’ intention to address all pending and future asbestos-related claims and all other pre-petition claims through a unified plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or scheme of arrangement under the Act.
In the U.S., three committees, representing asbestos claimants, unsecured creditors and equity security holders have been appointed as official committees in the Chapter 11 Cases and, in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, have the right to be heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court. The appointed committees, together with the legal representative for the future asbestos claimants, play important roles in the Restructuring Proceedings. In the U.K., the Administrator has appointed a creditors committee, representing both asbestos claimants and general unsecured creditors.
As provided by the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors initially had the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization within 120 days following the Petition Date with the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors requested the Bankruptcy Court to extend the period of exclusivity to November 1, 2002, and the request was granted. On October 30, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court granted an additional extension of the period of exclusivity to March 3, 2003. This date was further extended by Federal District Court order until March 6, 2003, on which date a plan of reorganization was filed. With the filing of the plan of reorganization and due to unresolved issues as discussed below, the Bankruptcy Court extended the exclusivity period until August 11, 2003. On July 30, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court further extended this exclusivity period until October 13, 2003.
Although a number of issues remain to be resolved, the plan of reorganization provides that the noteholders and asbestos claimants, present and future, will convert all of their claims into equity of the reorganized Company. Specifically, 49.9% of newly authorized and issued stock will be distributed to the noteholders, and 50.1% of newly authorized and issued stock will be distributed to a trust established pursuant to Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code for the benefit of existing and future asbestos claimants. United States trade creditors are expected to receive yet to be determined distributions under the consensual plan. Subject to continued negotiation, the plan of reorganization currently provides for the cancellation of pre-petition equity interests. The filing of the plan of reorganization was followed by the Plan Disclosure Statement which details the reorganization transaction and the U.K. scheme of arrangement. The Plan Disclosure Statement was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 21, 2003. Additional critical documents, such as the U.K. scheme of arrangement and the trust distribution procedure document will follow later.
There are two possible types of U.K. schemes of arrangements. The first is under Section 425 of the Companies Act of 1985, which may involve a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or members or any class of them agree to the compromise or arrangement, it is binding if sanctioned by the High Court. Section 425 may be invoked where there is an Administration order in force in relation to the Company. The other possible type of scheme arises under Section 1 of the Insolvency Act of 1986 in relation to Company Voluntary Arrangements (“CVA”). If a majority in value representing more than three-fourths of the creditors agrees to the compromise or arrangement set out in the CVA proposal, it will be approved.

Table of Contents
The Company is unable to predict with a high degree of certainty at this time what treatment will be accorded under any such plan of reorganization to intercompany indebtedness, licenses, executory contracts, transfers of goods and services, and other intercompany arrangements, transactions and relationships that were entered into prior to the Petition Date. Various parties in the Chapter 11 Cases may challenge these arrangements, transactions, and relationships, and the outcome of those challenges, if any, may have an impact on the treatment of various claims under such plan of reorganization.
The Bankruptcy Court may confirm a plan of reorganization only upon making certain findings required by the Bankruptcy Code, and a plan may be confirmed over the dissent of non-accepting creditors and equity security holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are met. The payment rights and other entitlements of pre-petition creditors and equity security holders may be substantially altered by any plan of reorganization confirmed in the Chapter 11 Cases. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient assets to satisfy the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities in whole or in part, and the pre-petition creditors of some Debtors may be treated differently than those of other Debtors.
Chapter 11 Financing
In connection with the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company entered into a $675 million debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) credit facility to supplement liquidity and fund operations during the restructuring proceedings. The DIP credit facility expires in October 2003 and bears interest at either the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus 2½ percentage points or a formula based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3½ percentage points. The ABR is the greatest of either the bank’s prime rate or the base CD rate plus 1 percentage point or the federal funds rate plus ½ percentage point. The $675 million commitment is mandatorily reduced by a portion of the proceeds received from an asset or business divestiture. The Company is currently renegotiating its DIP credit facility and expects to complete this process and obtain the required Bankruptcy Court approval prior to the facility’s expiration.
The Company’s available borrowings under the DIP credit facility are determined by the underlying collateral at any point in time, consisting of its domestic inventories, domestic accounts receivable, domestic plant, and its equipment and real property. The DIP lenders received permission from the lenders of the Senior Credit Agreements to have priority over their collateral interest. The borrowing base available to the Company is calculated weekly based upon the value of this underlying collateral. The total commitment and amounts outstanding on the DIP credit facility are as follows (in millions of dollars):
June 30 2003 | December 31 2002 | |||||||
Original commitment | $ | 675.0 | $ | 675.0 | ||||
Mandatory commitment reductions—divestitures | (38.4 | ) | (27.0 | ) | ||||
Current commitment | $ | 636.6 | $ | 648.0 | ||||
Outstanding: | ||||||||
Current borrowings | $ | 289.5 | $ | 314.7 | ||||
Letters of credit | 18.0 | 14.0 | ||||||

Available to borrow | 256.6 | 200.3 | ||||||
Total borrowing base | $ | 564.1 | $ | 529.0 | ||||
The DIP credit facility contains restrictive covenants. The more significant of these covenants include the maintenance of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and limitations on quarterly capital expenditures. Additional covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on the early retirement of debt, additional borrowings, payment of dividends and the sale of assets or businesses.
Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 90-7 (“SOP 90-7”), “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy
11
Table of Contents
Code” and on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities, without substantial adjustments and/or changes of ownership, is highly uncertain. Given this uncertainty, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and Administration under the Act, and subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, Administrator or the High Court or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors, or some of them, may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for some amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization or scheme of arrangement could materially change the amounts and classifications in the historical consolidated financial statements.
Virtually all of the Company’s pre-petition debt is in default. At June 30, 2003, the Debtors’ pre-petition debt is classified under the caption “Liabilities subject to compromise.” This includes debt outstanding of $1,905.3 million under the pre-petition Senior Credit Agreements and $2,118.1 million of other outstanding debt, primarily notes payable at various unsecured rates, less capitalized debt issuance fees of $36.1 million. The carrying value of the pre-petition debt will be adjusted once it has become an allowed claim by the Bankruptcy Court to the extent the related carrying value differs from the amount of the allowed claim. Such adjustment may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company is in default to its affiliate holder of its convertible junior subordinated debentures and is no longer accruing interest expense or making interest payments on the debentures. As a result, the affiliate no longer has the funds available to pay distributions on the Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities and stopped accruing and paying such distributions on October 1, 2001. The affiliate is in default on the Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities. The Company is a guarantor on the outstanding debentures and, as a result of the default, the Company has become a debtor to the holders of the debentures directly. This liability is a pre-petition liability. As a result, the Company has classified these securities as “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the consolidated balance sheets.
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, “Liabilities subject to compromise” refers to Debtors’ liabilities incurred prior to the commencement of the Restructuring Proceedings. The amounts of the various liabilities that are subject to compromise are set forth below. These amounts represent the Company’s estimate of known or potential pre-petition claims to be resolved in connection with the Restructuring Proceedings. Such claims remain subject to future adjustments. Future adjustments may result from (i) negotiations; (ii) actions of the Bankruptcy Court, High Court or Administrator; (iii) further developments with respect to disputed claims; (iv) rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases; (v) the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims; (vi) proofs of claim; or (vii) other events. Payment terms for these claims will be established in connection with the Restructuring Proceedings.
Liabilities subject to compromise are comprised of (in millions of dollars):

Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have filed schedules with the Bankruptcy Court setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Debtors as of the Petition Date. March 3, 2003 was the property and general bar date for the filing of proofs of claim against the U.S. Debtors.
Approximately 10,500 proofs of claim totaling approximately $158.4 billion alleging a right to payment from a Debtor were filed in connection with the March 3, 2003 bar date as follows:
• | Approximately 1,900 claims, totaling approximately $144.1 billion, which the Company believes should be disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court primarily because these claims appear to be duplicate or unsubstantiated claims. |
• | Approximately 400 claims, totaling approximately $8.3 billion, associated with asbestos-related contribution, indemnity, or reimbursement claims. |
• | Approximately 3,700 claims, totaling approximately $0.2 billion, alleging asbestos-related property damage. Based on its review, the Company believes most of these claims are duplicative or unsubstantiated. |
The Company has not completed its evaluation of the approximate remaining 4,500 claims, totaling approximately $5.8 billion, alleging rights to payment for financing, environmental, trade accounts payable and other matters. The Company has previously recorded approximately $4.4 billion in liabilities for these claims. The Company continues to investigate these unresolved proofs of claim, and intends to file objections to the claims that are inconsistent with its books and records. To date, the Debtors have filed objections to more than 4,500 proofs of claim, and have obtained stipulations or orders involving more than 1,000 claims, which either (i) reduce the filed claims to an amount that is consistent with the Debtors books or records, or (ii) completely disallow the claims.
Because the Debtors have not completed an evaluation of all filed claims and will be continuing their objections to claims, the ultimate number and allowed amount of such claims are not presently known and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The resolution of such claims could result in a material adjustment to the Company’s financial statements.
The appropriateness of using the going concern basis for its financial statements is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the Company’s ability to comply with the terms of the DIP credit facility and any cash management order entered by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) the ability of the Company to maintain adequate cash on hand; (iii) the ability of the Company to generate cash from operations; (iv) confirmation of a plan(s) of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) the Company’s ability to achieve profitability following such confirmation.

3. | INCOME TAXES |
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded income tax expense of $39.1 million on a loss of $0.2 million before income taxes. This compares to income tax expense of $50.5 million on earnings of $25.3 million before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the same period of 2002. Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from the recognition of income tax expense on earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions without the recognition of income tax benefits on current losses in the United States and certain entities in the U.K.

Divested Operations include the historical operating results of the Company’s divestitures
The Company has aggregated certain individual product segments within its six reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as that of the Company. Revenues related to Powertrain, Sealing Systems and Systems Protection, and Friction product sold to OE customers are recorded within the respective segments. Revenues from such products sold to aftermarket customers are recorded within the Aftermarket segment.
The Company evaluates segment performance principally on a non-GAAP Operational EBIT basis. Operational EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and certain nonrecurring items such as restructuring and impairment charges, Chapter 11 and Administration related reorganization expenses, and gains or losses on the sales of businesses. Operational EBIT for each segment is shown below, as it is most consistent with the corresponding consolidated financial statements.

7. | INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS |
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock awards. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option grants, as the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the underlying stock price on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Base Compensation”, the Company’s net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in millions of dollars, except per share amounts):

8. | ASBESTOS LIABILITY AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
T&N Companies Asbestos Litigation
Background
The Company’s U.K. subsidiary, T&N Ltd., and two U.S. subsidiaries (the “T&N Companies”) are among many defendants named in numerous court actions in the U.S. alleging personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. T&N Ltd. is also subject to asbestos-disease litigation, to a lesser extent, in the United Kingdom and France. As of the Petition Date, T&N Ltd. was a defendant in approximately 115,000 pending personal injury claims. The two United States subsidiaries were defendants in approximately 199,000 pending personal injury claims. As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company includes as a pending claim open served claims, settled but not documented claims and settled but not paid claims. Notice of complaints continue to be received Post-petition and are in violation of the Automatic Stay.
Recorded Liability
In 2000, the Company increased its estimate of asbestos-related liability for the T&N Companies by $751 million and recorded a related insurance recoverable asset of $577 million. The revision in the estimate of probable asbestos-related liability principally resulted from a study performed by an econometric firm that specializes in these types of matters. The liability (approximately $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2003) represented the Company’s estimate prior to the Restructuring Proceedings for claims currently pending and those which were reasonably estimated to be asserted and paid through 2012. The Company did not provide a liability for claims that may be paid subsequent to this period as it could not reasonably estimate such claims. In estimating the liability prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company made assumptions regarding the total number of claims anticipated to be received in a future period, the typical cost of settlement (which is sensitive to the industry in which the plaintiff claims exposure, the alleged disease type and the jurisdiction in which the action is being brought), the rate of receipt of claims, the settlement strategy in dealing with outstanding claims and the timing of settlements. As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings (see Note 2), all pending asbestos-related litigation against the Company in the United States and the
21
Table of Contents
U.K. is stayed (subject to certain exceptions in the case of governmental authorities), and no party may take any action to pursue or collect on such asbestos claims absent specific authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the High Court. Since the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company has ceased making payments with respect to asbestos-related lawsuits. An asbestos creditors’ committee has been appointed in the U.S. representing asbestos claimants with pending claims against the Company, and the Bankruptcy Court has appointed a legal representative for the interests of potential future asbestos claimants. In the U.K. a creditors committee consisting in large part of representatives of asbestos claimants has been appointed. March 3, 2003 was the bar date for the filing of all asbestos-related property damage claims. As part of the Restructuring Proceedings, it will be determined which asbestos claims should be allowed, or compensated, and the aggregate value of such claims. The Company’s obligations with respect to present and future claims could be determined through litigation in Bankruptcy Court, the High Court, and/or through negotiations with each of the official committees appointed; that determination may provide the basis for a plan of reorganization or scheme of arrangement.
In December of 2000, the Company entered into $250 million of surety on behalf of the T&N Companies to meet certain collateral requirements for asbestos indemnity obligations associated with their prior membership in the Center for Claims Resolution (“CCR”). This amount was stepped down by contract to $225 million effective June, 2001. As a result of the filing, the Company has sought declaratory and injunctive relief in an adversary proceeding filed in the Bankruptcy Court, in order to enjoin any post-petition payments to asbestos claimants by the CCR and any post-petition draw by the CCR on $225 million in face amount of the surety bonds. The CCR now seeks to draw on the surety bonds to fund past and future payments although the basis of such draw, the validity of such claims under the pre-petition bond terms, and whether such draw may be utilized to pay obligations of other CCR members are all disputed. On March 28, 2003, the Federal District Court Judge held that, with respect to phase one, the CCR has the right to draw upon the bonds to the extent that a settlement between an individual and the CCR member was consummated, i.e., a release has been obtained from such individual. The CCR has appealed and the ruling was modified to require a state-by-state analysis of what constitutes a release. This is in process, as is a yet to be heard phase two, which will ultimately determine the amount of any such draw.
Except for effect of foreign currency, the Company has not adjusted its estimate of the asbestos liability since September 30, 2001. This liability is included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Liabilities subject to compromise” as of June 30, 2003 for the Company’s U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries.
While the Company believes that the liability recorded was appropriate for anticipated losses arising from asbestos-related claims against the T&N Companies through 2012, it is the Company’s view that, as a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, there is even greater uncertainty in estimating the future asbestos liability and related insurance recovery for pending and future claims. There are significant differences in the treatment of asbestos claims in a bankruptcy proceeding as compared to the tort litigation system. Among other things, it is uncertain at this time as to the number of asbestos-related claims that will be filed in the Restructuring Proceedings; the number of future claims that will be included in a plan of reorganization; how claims for punitive damages and claims by persons with no asbestos-related physical impairment will be treated and whether such claims will be allowed; and the impact that historical settlement values for asbestos claims may have on the estimation of asbestos liability in the bankruptcy proceeding.
No assurance can be given that the T&N Companies will not be subject to material additional liabilities and significant additional litigation relating to asbestos matters through 2012 or thereafter. In the event that such liabilities exceed the amounts recorded by the Company or the remaining insurance coverage, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected.
Insurance Recoverable
In 1996, T&N Ltd. (formerly T&N, plc) purchased for itself and its then defined global subsidiaries a £500 million layer of insurance which will be triggered should the aggregate costs of claims made or brought after June 30, 1996, where the exposure occurred prior to that date, exceed £690 million. During 2000, the Company concluded that the aggregate cost of the claims filed after June 30, 1996 would exceed the trigger point and recorded an insurance recoverable asset under the T&N policy of $577 million. As of June 30, 2003, the recorded insurance recoverable was $632.1 million. In December 2001, one of the three reinsurers filed suit in a London, England court to challenge the validity of its insurance contract with the T&N Companies. In December 2002, the remaining two
22
Table of Contents
reinsurers issued separate declaratory proceedings seeking clarification of policy requirements related to the Asbestos Liability Policy. The Company believes that, based on its review of the insurance policies and advice from outside legal counsel, it is probable that the T&N Companies will be entitled to receive payment from the reinsurers for the cost of the claims in excess of the trigger point of the insurance.
The ultimate realization of insurance proceeds is directly related to the amount of related covered claims paid by the Company. If the ultimate asbestos claims are higher than the recorded liability, the Company expects the ultimate insurance recoverable to be higher than the recorded amount, up to the cap of the insurance layer. If the ultimate asbestos claims are lower than the recorded liability, the Company expects the ultimate insurance recoverable to be lower than the recorded amount. While the Restructuring Proceedings will impact the timing and amount of the asbestos claims and the insurance recoverable, there has been no change, other than foreign exchange translation, to the recorded amounts since the Company initiated the Restructuring Proceedings. Accordingly, this asset could change significantly based upon events that occur from the Restructuring Proceedings.
The Company has reviewed the financial viability and legal obligations of the three reinsurance companies involved and has concluded that currently there is little risk that the reinsurers will not be able to meet their obligation to pay, once the claims filed after June 30, 1996 exceed the £690 million trigger point. The U.S. claims’ costs applied against this policy are converted at a fixed exchange rate of $1.69/£. As such, if the market exchange rate is less then $1.69/£, the Company will effectively have a discount from 100% recovery on claims paid. As of June 30, 2003, the $632.2 million insurance recoverable asset is net of an exchange rate discount of approximately $9.9 million.
Abex and Wagner Asbestos Litigation
Background
Two of the Company’s businesses formerly owned by Cooper Industries, Inc., known as Abex and Wagner, are involved as defendants in numerous court actions in the U.S. alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. These claims mainly involve friction products. As of the Petition Date, Abex and Wagner were defendants in approximately 66,000 and 33,000 pending claims, respectively. As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company includes as a pending claim open served claims, settled but not documented claims and settled but not paid claims. Notices of complaints continue to be received post-petition and are in violation of the Automatic Stay.
The liability of the Company with respect to claims alleging exposure to Wagner products arises from the 1998 stock purchase from Cooper Industries of the corporate successor by merger to Wagner Electric Company; the purchased entity is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and one of the Debtors in the Restructuring Proceedings. As a consequence, all claims against the Debtors, including asbestos-related claims, have been stayed.
The liability of the Company with respect to claims alleging exposure to Abex products arises from a contractual liability entered into in 1994 by the predecessor to the Company whose stock the Company purchased in 1998. Pursuant to that contract, prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company, through the relevant subsidiary, was liable for certain indemnity and defense payments incurred on behalf of an entity known as Pneumo Abex Corporation, the successor in interest to Abex Corporation. Effective as of the Petition Date, the Company has ceased making such payments and is currently considering whether to accept or reject the 1994 contractual liability.
As mentioned above, as of the Petition Date, all pending asbestos litigation of Abex (as to the Company only) and Wagner is stayed (subject to certain exceptions in the case of governmental authorities), and no party may take any action to pursue or collect on such asbestos claims absent specific authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the High Court.
Recorded Liability
The liability (comprised of $165.4 million in Abex liabilities and $49.1 million in Wagner liabilities as of June 30, 2003) represented the Company’s estimate prior to the Restructuring Proceedings for claims currently pending and those which were reasonably estimated to be asserted and paid through 2012. The Company did not
23
Table of Contents
provide a liability for claims that may be brought subsequent to this period as it could not reasonably estimate such claims. In estimating the liability prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company made assumptions regarding the total number of claims anticipated to be received in a future period, the typical cost of settlement (which is sensitive to the industry in which the plaintiff claims exposure, the alleged disease type and the jurisdiction in which the action is being brought), the rate of receipt of claims, the settlement strategy in dealing with outstanding claims and the timing of settlements.
As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings (see Note 2), all pending asbestos-related litigation is stayed as previously described for the T&N Companies.
While the Company believes that the liability recorded was appropriate for anticipated losses arising from asbestos-related claims related to Abex and Wagner through 2012, it is the Company’s view that, as a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, there is even greater uncertainty in estimating the future asbestos liability and related insurance recovery for pending and future claims. There are significant differences in the treatment of asbestos claims in a bankruptcy proceeding as compared to the tort litigation system. Among other things, it is uncertain at this time as to the number of asbestos-related claims that will be filed in the proceeding; the number of future claims that will be included in a plan of reorganization; how claims for punitive damages and claims by persons with no asbestos-related physical impairment will be treated and whether such claims will be allowed; and the impact historical settlement values for asbestos claims may have on the estimation of asbestos liability in the Restructuring Proceedings.
No assurance can be given that the Company will not be subject to material additional liabilities and significant additional litigation relating to Abex and Wagner asbestos matters through 2012 or thereafter. In the event that such liabilities exceed the amounts recorded by the Company or the remaining insurance coverage, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected.
Insurance Recoverable
Abex maintained product liability insurance coverage for most of the time that it manufactured products that contained asbestos. This coverage is shared with other third-party companies. The subsidiary of the Company that may be liable for certain indemnity and defense payments with respect to Abex has the benefit of that insurance up to the extent of that liability. Abex has been in litigation since 1982 with the insurance carriers of its primary layer of liability concerning coverage for asbestos claims. Abex also has substantial excess layer liability insurance coverage that is shared with other companies that, barring unforeseen insolvencies of excess carriers or other adverse events, should provide coverage for asbestos claims against Abex. The Abex insurance recoverable was $116.3 million as of June 30, 2003.
Wagner also maintained product liability insurance coverage for some of the time that it manufactured products that contained asbestos. This coverage is shared with other third-party companies. The subsidiary of the Company that may be liable for asbestos claims against Wagner has the benefit of that insurance, subject to the rights of other potential insureds under the policies. Primary layer liability insurance coverage for asbestos claims against Wagner is the subject of an agreement with Wagner’s solvent primary carriers. The agreement provides for partial reimbursement of indemnity and defense costs for Wagner asbestos claims until exhaustion of aggregate limits. Wagner also has substantial excess layer liability insurance coverage which, barring unforeseen insolvencies of excess carriers or other adverse events, should provide coverage for asbestos claims against Wagner. The Wagner insurance recoverable was $53.5 million as of June 30, 2003.
The ultimate realization of insurance proceeds is directly related to the amount of related covered claims paid by the Company. If the ultimate asbestos claims are higher than the recorded liability, the Company expects the ultimate insurance recoverable to be higher than the recorded amount. If the ultimate asbestos claims are lower than the recorded liability, the Company expects the ultimate insurance recoverable to be lower than the recorded amount. While the Restructuring Proceedings will impact the timing and amount of the asbestos claims and the insurance recoverable, there has been no change to the recorded amounts due to the uncertainties created by the Restructuring Proceedings. Accordingly, this asset could change materially based upon events that occur from the Restructuring Proceedings.

The Company believes that based on its review of the insurance policies, the financial viability of the insurance carriers, and advice from outside legal counsel, it is probable that Abex and Wagner will realize an insurance recoverable correlating with the respective liability.
Federal-Mogul and Fel-Pro Asbestos Litigation
Prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company was sued in its own name as one of a large number of defendants in multiple lawsuits brought by claimants alleging injury from exposure to asbestos due to its ownership of certain assets involved in gasket making. As of the Petition Date, the Company was a defendant in approximately 61,500 pre-petition pending claims. Over 40,000 of these claims were transferred to a federal court, where, prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, they were pending. Notices of complaints continue to be received post-petition and are in violation of the Automatic Stay.
Prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company’s Fel-Pro subsidiary also was named as a defendant in a number of product liability cases involving asbestos, primarily involving gasket or packing products. Fel-Pro was a defendant in approximately 34,000 pending claims as of the Petition Date. Over 32,000 of these claims were transferred to a federal court where, prior to the Restructuring Proceedings, they were pending. The Company was defending all such claims vigorously and believed that it and Fel-Pro had substantial defenses to liability and insurance coverage for defense and indemnity.
All claims alleging exposure to the products of the Company and of Fel-Pro have been stayed as a result of the Restructuring Proceedings.
Aggregate of Asbestos Liability and Insurance Recoverable Asset
The following is a summary of the asbestos liability and the insurance recoverable asset as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 (in millions of dollars):
T&N Companies | Abex | Wagner | Other | Total | |||||||||||

The Company’s estimate of asbestos-related liabilities for pending and expected future asbestos claims is subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities are influenced by numerous variables that are inherently difficult to predict. The Restructuring Proceedings significantly increase the inherent difficulties and uncertainties involved in estimating the number and cost of resolution of present and future asbestos-related claims against the Company and may have the effect of increasing the ultimate cost of the resolution of such claims.
Other Legal Matters
The Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its subsidiaries. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, management is of the opinion that the outcomes are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results, or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative orders issued, in various jurisdictions pursuant to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national or state environmental laws. These laws require responsible parties to
25
Table of Contents
pay for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were discharged into the environment by these parties, or by others to whom they sent such substances for treatment or other disposition. In addition, the Company has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various state agencies that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national and state environmental laws. PRP designation requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remediation activities.
At most of the sites that are likely to be costliest to remediate, which are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent waste, the Company’s exposure is expected to be limited. Despite the joint and several liability which may be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, the Company’s share of the total waste has generally been small. The other companies, often numbering in the hundreds or more, which also sent wastes to these sites, generally include large, solvent publicly owned companies, and in most such situations the government agencies and courts have imposed liability in some reasonable relationship to contribution of waste.
The Company has identified certain present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these matters. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such matters based upon current available information from site investigations and consultants.
Environmental reserves were $68.4 million and $64.6 million as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Management believes that such accruals will be adequate to cover the Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected. As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings, $27.4 million and $22.9 million of environmental reserves as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the consolidated balance sheet.

10. | RESTRUCTURING |
The Company recorded $20.2 million of restructuring charges during the first six months of 2003. These charges primarily consisted of severance costs for European and North American site consolidation and headcount reduction programs. Aftermarket recorded $9.9 million of these restructuring charges, including $2.4 million associated with restructuring programs initiated during the first six months of 2003. Powertrain recorded $6.4 million of these restructuring charges, including $4.7 million of costs relating to restructuring programs initiated during the first six months of 2003. Restructuring charges for Sealing Systems and Systems Protection totaled $3.9 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2003 primarily relating to previously announced programs.
Total employee reductions for all current Company restructuring programs are expected to be approximately 3,200 of which approximately 2,350 have been terminated as of June 30, 2003.

11. | ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURES |
On January 30, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire principally all of the Bendix friction materials business of Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”). The terms of the transaction are under negotiation, and the Company continues to assess the acquisition and work with Honeywell and the Company’s appointed committees in the Restructuring Proceedings to finalize the terms of the transaction. The Company continues to make progress on satisfying the regulatory conditions to the transaction. The consummation of this acquisition is expressly conditional upon Honeywell receiving a bankruptcy court-issued permanent injunction shielding it from all current and future asbestos liabilities related to the friction materials business. In addition, the completion of the acquisition is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. The Bendix friction business has annual sales of approximately $700 million, and includes 13 manufacturing plants and five major engineering facilities in nine countries.
During April 2003, the Company completed the divestitures of its U.S. camshaft operations and principally all of its original equipment lighting operations. The divested U.S. camshaft operations include Grand Haven, Michigan and Orland, Indiana, as well as the Company’s share of an assembled camshaft joint venture in Grand Haven. The original equipment lighting divestitures include operations in Matamoros, Mexico; Brownsville, Texas; and Toledo, Ohio.
Collectively, the divested operations had 2002 net sales of $147.1 million. The Company received aggregate net cash proceeds of $18.1 million and recognized an aggregate loss of $6.3 million for its divestitures in the second quarter of 2003.

In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Company has included the accompanying unaudited consolidating condensed financial statements based on the Company’s understanding of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation and application of Rule 3-10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X and Staff Accounting Bulletin 53. Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to investors. Therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
Subsequent to the Restructuring Proceedings, no dividends have been paid to the Federal-Mogul parent company by any of its subsidiaries.
As a result of the Restructuring Proceedings (see Note 2 “Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 and Administration”) certain pre-petition liabilities, as shown below, were liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2003 (in millions of dollars):

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company” or “Federal-Mogul”) is a vehicular parts manufacturer providing innovative solutions and systems to global customers in the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty and industrial markets. The Company manufactures engine bearings, pistons, piston pins, rings, cylinder liners, sintered products, connecting rods, sealing systems, systems protection sleeving products, fuel systems, wipers, ignition, brake, friction and chassis products. The Company’s principal customers include many of the world’s original equipment (“OE”) manufacturers of vehicles and industrial products. The Company also manufactures and supplies its products to the aftermarket.
VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY FILING
On October 1, 2001 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and all of its wholly-owned United States subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “U.S. Restructuring”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Also on October 1, 2001, certain of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and petitions for Administration (the “U.K. Restructuring”) under the United Kingdom Insolvency Act of 1986 (the “Act”) in the High Court of Justice, Chancery division in London, England (the “High Court”). The Company and its U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries included in the U.S. Restructuring and U.K. Restructuring are herein referred to as the “Debtors”. The U.S. Restructuring and U.K. Restructuring are herein referred to as the “Restructuring Proceedings”. The Chapter 11 cases of the Debtors (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) have been consolidated for purposes of joint administration asIn re: Federal-Mogul Global Inc., T&N Limited, et. al (Case No. 01-10578(SLR)). The Chapter 11 Cases do not include any of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the U.K. subsidiaries mentioned above.
The Restructuring Proceedings were initiated in response to a sharply increasing number of asbestos-related claims and their related demand on the Company’s cash flows. Under the Restructuring Proceedings, the Debtors expect to develop and implement a plan for addressing the asbestos-related claims against them. The Chapter 11 Cases are further discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, “Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 and Administration”.

Powertrain
Net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $475 million compared to $426 million in the same quarter of 2002. Favorable foreign currency approximating $54 million combined with increased European sales volumes of approximately $20 million were partially offset by reduced sales volumes in the Americas and by customer price reductions.
Gross margin was $72 million, or 15% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $72 million, or 17% of net sales, for the same quarter in 2002. The impact of favorable foreign currency, productivity programs, and increased production volumes in Europe were more than offset by reduced production volumes in the Americas, increased warranty and product costs, and customer price reductions.
Sealing Systems and Systems Protection
Net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $164 million compared to $171 million in the same quarter of 2002. Favorable foreign currency of approximately $8 million was more than offset by customer price reductions and decreased sales volumes.
Gross margin was $31 million, or 19% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $38 million, or 22% of net sales, for the same quarter in 2002. Favorable productivity and foreign currency were more than offset by the effects of decreased production volumes and customer price reductions.
Friction
Net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $110 million compared to $95 million in the same quarter of 2002. Favorable foreign currency of approximately $11 million combined with increased sales volumes more than offset the impact of customer price reductions.

Table of Contents
Gross margin was $33 million, or 30% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $28 million, or 29% of net sales, for the same quarter of 2002. Increased production volumes and favorable foreign currency more than offset customer price reductions.
Aftermarket
Net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $655 million compared to $665 million in the same quarter of 2002. Favorable foreign currency partially offset decreased sales volumes in both the Americas and Europe.
Gross margin was $160 million, or 24% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $149 million, or 22% of net sales, for the same quarter of 2002. Adverse production volumes were more than offset by productivity programs, product sourcing savings, and favorable foreign currency.
Other
Other primarily includes Asia Pacific and other Corporate functions. Net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $25 million compared to $20 million in the same quarter of 2002. This increase is primarily the result of increased sales volumes in the Asia Pacific region.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $229 million, or 16% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2003 as compared to $209 million, or 14% of net sales, for the same quarter of 2002. Foreign currency and increased current year pension expense due to lower than expected returns on the Company’s pension plan assets in the prior year were partially offset by operating and corporate cost reductions.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net was $22 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $30 million for the same quarter of 2002. The decline is principally attributable to interest income associated with U.S. tax refunds resulting from claims filed for prior years, combined with reduced interest expense on the DIP credit facility resulting from favorable interest rates and lower average outstanding borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded income tax expense of $20 million on earnings of $15 million before income taxes. This compares to income tax expense of $21 million on earnings of $37 million before income taxes in the same period of 2002. Income tax expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from the recognition of income tax expense on earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions without the recognition of income tax benefits on current losses in the United States and certain entities in the U.K.
Restructuring Charges
During the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $10 million and $2 million, respectively. Charges for 2003 primarily relate to severance charges for North American and European Powertrain, Aftermarket and Sealing Systems and Systems Protection restructuring programs initiated during the three months ended June 30, 2003 as well as severance charges for previously announced European distribution site consolidations and closures in the Sealing Systems and Systems Protection and Aftermarket businesses.
Chapter 11 and Administration Related Reorganization Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded Chapter 11 and Administration related reorganization expenses of $27 million and $23 million, respectively. These expenses consist of legal, financial and advisory fees, critical employee retention costs and other directly related internal costs, and

fluctuate largely based upon the necessity for professional services by third-party vendors in connection with the Restructuring Proceedings.

Favorable productivity and foreign currency were more than offset by the effects of decreased production volumes and customer price reductions.
Friction
Net sales for the first six months of 2003 were $215 million compared to $183 million in the same period of 2002. Favorable foreign currency of approximately $21 million combined with increased sales volumes more than offset the impact of customer price reductions.
Gross margin was $64 million, or 30% of net sales, for the first six months of 2003 compared to $52 million, or 29% of net sales, for the same period of 2002. Favorable production volumes and foreign currency more than offset customer price reductions.
Aftermarket
Net sales for the first six months of 2003 were $1,268 million compared to $1,265 million in the same period of 2002. The effects of favorable foreign currency marginally offset decreased sales volumes in both the Americas and Europe.
Gross margin was $307 million, or 24% of net sales, for the first six months of 2003 compared to $286 million, or 23% of net sales, for the same period of 2002. Gross margin was favorably impacted by productivity programs and favorable foreign currency, which were partially offset by a decline in production volumes.
Other
Other primarily includes Asia Pacific and other Corporate functions. Net sales for the first six months of 2003 were $45 million compared to $34 million in the same period of 2002. This increase is primarily the result of increased sales volumes in the Asia Pacific region.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $455 million, or 16% of net sales, for the first six months of 2003 as compared to $417 million, or 15% of net sales, for the same period of 2002. Foreign currency and increased current year pension expense due to lower than expected returns on the Company’s pension plan assets in the prior year were partially offset by operating and corporate cost reductions.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net was $51 million in the first six months of 2003 compared to $60 million for the same quarter of 2002. The decline is principally attributable to interest income associated with U.S. tax refunds resulting from claims filed for prior years, combined with reduced interest expense on the DIP credit facility resulting from favorable interest rates and lower average outstanding borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded income tax expense of $39 million on a loss of $0.2 million before income taxes. This compares to income tax expense of $51 million on earnings of $25 million before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the same period of 2002. Net income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from the recognition of income tax expense on earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions without the recognition of income tax benefits on current losses in the United States and certain entities in the U.K.

Restructuring Charges
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $20 million and $11 million, respectively. Charges for 2003 primarily relate to severance charges for North American and European Powertrain, Sealing Systems and Systems Protection, and Aftermarket restructuring programs initiated during the first six months of 2003 as well as severance charges for previously announced European distribution site consolidations and closures in the Powertrain, Sealing Systems and Systems Protection and Aftermarket businesses.
Chapter 11 and Administration Related Reorganization Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded Chapter 11 and Administration related reorganization expenses of $60 million and $43 million, respectively. These expenses consist of legal, financial and advisory fees, critical employee retention costs and other directly related internal costs, and fluctuate largely based upon the necessity for professional services by third-party vendors in connection with the pace and degree of the Restructuring Proceedings.
LITIGATION & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES
For a summary of material litigation and environmental contingencies, refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements, “Asbestos Liability and Legal Proceedings”.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Provided From Operating Activities
Cash flow provided from operating activities was $201 million for the first six months of 2003. Among the factors impacting operating cash flows were positive operational EBIT and working capital improvements, and are affected by timing issues on various accounts. Operational EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and certain items such as restructuring and impairment charges.
Cash Flow Used By Investing Activities
Cash flow used by investing activities was $119 million in the first six months of 2003. Investing cash flows were comprised principally of capital expenditures made for property, plant and equipment to implement process improvements, increase manufacturing capacity and production, and introduce new products.
Cash Flow Used By Financing Activities
Cash flow used by financing activities was $48 million for the first six months of 2003 resulting from a net paydown of the Company’s DIP credit facility of $25 million, combined with repayments of certain short-term and international debt.
In connection with the Restructuring Proceedings, the Company entered into a $675 million DIP credit facility to supplement liquidity and fund operations during the restructuring proceedings. The DIP credit facility expires in October 2003 and bears interest at either the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus 2½ percentage points or a formula based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 3½ percentage points. The ABR is the greatest of either the bank’s prime rate or the base certificate of deposit rate plus 1 percentage point or the federal funds rate plus ½ percentage point. The $675 million commitment is reduced by a portion of the proceeds received from an asset sale or business divestiture. The Company is currently renegotiating its DIP credit facility and expects to complete this process and obtain the required Bankruptcy Court approval prior to the facility’s expiration.
The Company has pledged 100% of the capital stock of certain U.S. subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries and certain intercompany loans to secure the Senior Credit Agreements of the

Company. Certain of such pledges also extend to the Notes, Medium-Term Notes and Senior Notes of the Company. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed the senior debt.
The Company’s ability to obtain cash adequate to fund its needs depends generally on the results of its operations, restructuring initiatives, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of management’s plans and the availability of financing. Management believes that cash on hand and cash flow from operations, in conjunction with borrowings available from its DIP credit facility, will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and meet its post-petition operating obligations in the short term. In the long term, the Company believes that the benefits from the previously announced restructuring programs and the favorable resolution of its asbestos liabilities through Chapter 11 and Administration should provide adequate long-term cash flows. However, there can be no assurance in this regard or that the terms available for any future financing, if required, would be favorable to the Company. Also, certain obligations, particularly asbestos obligations, can be impacted by factors outside the Company’s control.
As of June 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under its existing DIP credit facility. Based on current forecasts, the Company expects to be in compliance through the expiration of the facility. Changes in the business environment, market factors, macroeconomic factors, and the Company’s ability to achieve its forecasts and other factors outside of the Company’s control, could adversely impact its ability to remain in compliance with debt covenants. If the Company were to not be in compliance at a measurement date, the Company would be required to renegotiate its facility. No assurance can be provided as to the impact of such actions.
Item 3.Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its operations in foreign jurisdictions. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and distributes its products. The Company’s operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and European currencies.
As currency exchange rates change, translation of the statements of operations of the Company’s international businesses into United States dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. The Company does not generally hedge operating translation risks because cash flows from international operations are generally reinvested locally. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates are generally reported as a component of shareholders’ equity for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries reporting in local currencies, and as a component of income for its foreign subsidiaries using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. The Company’s equity was increased by $158 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to cumulative translation adjustments primarily resulting from changes in the U.S. dollar to the Euro and the British Pound.
Item 4.Disclosure Controls And Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Pursuant to ongoing integration efforts associated with previous acquisitions, the Company converted its financial systems at certain of it North American operating units to a pre-existing common information technology platform during the second quarter of 2003.
