PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Ingersoll-Rand Company (the company) was organized in
1905 under the laws of the State of New Jersey as a consolidation
of Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company and the Rand Drill Company,
whose businesses were established in the early 1870's. Over the
years, the company has supplemented its original business, which
consisted primarily of the manufacture and sale of rock drilling
equipment, with additional products which have been developed
internally or obtained through acquisition.
The following acquisitions have been accounted for as
purchases and, accordingly, each purchase price was allocated to
the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their
estimated fair values. The results of operations since the dates
of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial
statements.
o On October 31, 1997, the company purchased all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Thermo King Corporation
(Thermo King) together with other equity interests and assets
related to Thermo King, from Westinghouse Electric Corporation,
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.56 billion
in cash. Thermo King designs, manufactures and distributes
transport temperature control systems and service parts for a
variety of mobile applications, including trailers, truck
bodies, seagoing containers, buses and light-rail cars.
o In April 1997, the company completed the acquisition of Newman
Tonks Group PLC (Newman Tonks), a United Kingdom-based
producer of architectural hardware products headquartered in
Birmingham, England. Newman Tonks is a leading manufacturer,
specifier and supplier of branded architectural hardware
products.
o On August 27, 1996, the company acquired for $34.3 million in
cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, substantially
all of the assets of Zimmerman International Corp. (Zimmerman).
Zimmerman manufactures equipment and systems that assist in
handling or lifting tools, components and materials for a
variety of industrial operations.
o On January 31, 1996, the company acquired for $95.4 million in
cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, the Steelcraft
Division of MascoTech, Inc. Steelcraft manufactures a wide
range of cold-rolled and galvanized steel doors for use
primarily in nonresidential construction.
o In May 1995, the company acquired Clark Equipment Company
(Clark) for approximately $1.5 billion in cash. Clark's
business is the design, manufacture and sale of skid-steer
loaders, compact excavators, agricultural equipment, asphalt
paving equipment, transmissions for off-highway equipment
(subsequently sold), golf cars and light utility vehicles.
Dispositions that the company has made in recent years
are as follows:
o On February 14, 1997, the company sold Clark-Hurth Components
Group to Dana Corporation. At December 31, 1996, the net
assets subject to sale totalled $265.7 million and were
classified as current assets on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Clark-Hurth Components had been reported as part of
the Engineered Equipment Segment.
o During 1996, the company sold the Process Systems Group in
two separate transactions at a price of approximately $180.3
million. The company recorded a pretax gain of $55 million.
The Process Systems Group had been reported as part of the
Engineered Equipment Segment.
o In May 1995, the company sold the domestic paving equipment
business to Champion Road Machinery Limited of Canada. The
sale was a preacquisition requirement, in order to satisfy
concerns of the United States Justice Department, prior to the
Clark acquisition. The company incurred a $7.1 million pretax
loss associated with this sale.

Coupe, Steelcraft, Tensor I, Thermo King, Titan, Torrington, Von
Duprin, Worthington and Zimmerman.
During the past three years, the division of the
company's sales between capital goods and expendables has been in
the approximate ratio of 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively.
The company generally defines as expendables those products which
are not capitalized by the ultimate user. Examples of such
products are parts sold for replacement purposes, power tools and
needle bearings.
Additional information on the company's business and
financial information about industry segments is presented in
Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1997, incorporated by
reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report.
Distribution
The company's products are distributed by a number of
methods which the company believes are appropriate to the type of
product. Sales are made domestically through branch sales
offices and through distributorships and dealers across the
United States. International sales are made through
approximately 60 subsidiary sales and service companies with a
supporting chain of distributors in over 100 countries.
Working Capital
The working capital requirements of the company vary with
respect to the many products and industries in which it is
involved. In general, the requirements of its Engineered
Equipment Segment, which manufactures machinery for specialized
customer needs, involve a relatively long lead time and, at
times, more significant company investment with respect to the
particular product or order. Historically, these orders are
generally covered by progress payments, which reduce the
company's investment in the amount of inventory maintained by
this segment. The products manufactured by the company's
Standard Machinery and Bearings, Locks and Tools segments are
more in the nature of standard equipment. Consequently, a wider
variety must usually be more readily available to meet rapid
delivery requirements. Such working capital requirements are
not, however, in the opinion of management, materially different
from those experienced by the company's major competitors.
Customers
No material part of the company's business is dependent
upon a single customer or very few customers, the loss of any one
of which would have a material adverse effect on the company's
operations.
Competitive Conditions
The company's products are sold in highly competitive
markets throughout the world against products produced by both
foreign and domestic corporations. The principal methods of
competition in these markets relate to price, quality and
service. The company believes that it is one of the leading
manufacturers in the world of a broad line of air compression
systems, anti-friction bearings, construction equipment,
transport temperature control products, air tools, pumps, golf
cars and utility vehicles. In addition, the company believes it
is a leading supplier in domestic markets for locks, other door
hardware products, skid-steer loaders and asphalt paving
equipment.
International Operations
Sales to customers outside the United States, including
domestic sales for export, accounted for approximately 39 percent
of the consolidated net sales in 1997. Information as to
operating income by geographic area is set forth in Note 15 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for 1997, incorporated by reference
in this Form 10-K Annual Report. Sales outside of the United
States are made in more than 100 countries; therefore, the
attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular
country, such as nationalization and establishment of common
markets, would not have a significant effect on the company's
international operations.
Raw Materials
The company manufactures many of the components included
in its products. The principal raw materials required for the
manufacture of the company's products are purchased from numerous
suppliers, and the company believes that available sources of
supply will generally be sufficient for its needs for the
foreseeable future.
Backlog
The company's approximate backlog of orders at December
31, 1997, believed by it to be firm, was $398 million for the
Standard Machinery Segment, $399 million for the Engineered
Equipment Segment and $576 million for the Bearings, Locks and
Tools Segment as compared to $335 million, $369 million and $638
million, respectively, at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of
Thermo King added an additional $172 million in backlog. These
backlog figures are based on orders received. While the major
portion of the company's products are built in advance of order
and either shipped or assembled from stock, orders for
specialized machinery or specific customer application are
submitted with extensive lead time and are often subject to
revision, deferral, cancellation or termination. The company
estimates that approximately 90 percent of the backlog will be
shipped during the next twelve months.
Research, Engineering and Development
The company maintains extensive research, engineering and
development facilities for experimenting, testing and developing
high quality products. The company employs approximately 1,744
professional employees for its research, engineering and
development activities. The company spent $216 million in 1997,
$209 million in 1996 and $190 million in 1995 on research,
engineering and development.
Patents and Licenses
The company owns numerous patents and patent applications
and is licensed under others. While it considers that in the
aggregate its patents and licenses are valuable, it does not
believe that its business is materially dependent on its patents
or licenses or any group of them. In the company's opinion,
engineering and production skills, and experience are more
responsible for its market position than patents or licenses.
Environmental Matters
The company has been and continues to be dedicated to an
environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of
hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to
remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter,
the company currently is engaged in site investigations and
remedial activities to address environmental cleanup from past
operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.
During 1997, the company spent approximately $9 million
on capital projects for pollution abatement and control and an
additional $5 million for environmental remediation expenditures
at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company.
It should be noted that these amounts are difficult to estimate
because environmental improvement costs are generally a part of
the overall improvement costs at a particular plant, and the
accurate estimate of which portion of an improvement or a capital
expenditure relates to an environmental improvement is difficult
to ascertain. The company believes that these expenditure levels
will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving
nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the
ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.
The company is a party to environmental lawsuits and
claims, and has received notices of potential violations of
environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental
Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It is
identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup
costs associated with off-site waste disposal at approximately 38
federal Superfund and state remediations sites, excluding sites
as to which the company's records disclose no involvement or as
to which the company's liability has been fully determined. For
all sites there are other PRPs and in most instances, the
company's site involvement is minimal. In estimating its
liability, the company has assumed it will not bear the entire
cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs
who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other
PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally
on the parties' financial condition and probable contribution on
a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving
environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in
the future.
Although uncertainties regarding environmental
technology, state and federal laws and regulations and individual
site information make estimating the liability difficult,
management believes that the total liability for the cost of
remediation and environmental lawsuits and claims will not have a
material effect on the financial condition, results of operations
liquidity or cash flows of the company for any year. It should
be noted that when the company estimates its liability for
environmental matters, such estimates are based on current
technologies and the company does not discount its liability or
assume any insurance recoveries.
Employees
There are approximately 46,600 employees of the company
throughout the world, of whom approximately 29,100 work in the
United States and 17,500 in foreign countries. Approximately 31%
percent of the company's United States production and maintenance
employees, who work in 14 plants, are represented by 8 unions.
The company believes relations with its employees are good.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The company's executive offices are located at Woodcliff
Lake, New Jersey. Manufacturing and assembly operations are
conducted in 61 plants in the United States; 5 plants in Canada;
39 plants in Europe; 11 plants in Asia; 7 plants in Latin America
and 1 plant in Africa. The company also maintains various
warehouses, offices and repair centers in the United States,
Canada and abroad.
Substantially all plant facilities are owned by the
company and the remainder are under long-term lease. The company
believes that its plants and equipment have been well-maintained
and are generally in good condition. The company has several
closed facilities that it is actively marketing with the intent
of selling them at their net realizable value.
The operating segments for which the facilities are
primarily used are as described below. Facilities that produce
products in several operating segments are classified by the
products which they primarily manufacture. Facilities under
long-term lease are included below and are not significant to
each operating segment's total number of plants or square
footage.
Standard Machinery
This segment's products include machinery regularly used
in general manufacturing and in industries such as mining and
construction. Products range from blasthole drills used in
mining and construction, small air compressors found worldwide in
auto service stations, skid-steer loaders and golf cars. The

with 623,000 square feet as well as 10 international plants with
512,000 square feet.
Thermo King
This segment principally operates in one industry that includes
the design, manufacture, and distribution of transport
temperature control equipment. These products are primarily used
in the transport temperature control business for trailers, truck
bodies, seagoing containers, buses and light-rail cars. Thermo
King was acquired on October 31, 1997.
Approximate
Number of Plants Square Footage
Domestic 6 1,457,000
International 10 1,234,000
Total 16 2,691,000
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the company is involved
in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including
proceedings for off-site waste disposal cleanup of approximately
38 sites under federal Superfund and similar state laws. In the
opinion of the company, pending legal matters are not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
