(4) The Company's provisions for income taxes for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are based upon estimated annual tax
rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The
effective rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to
a)state income taxes, b)foreign rates which differ from those in the
U.S., c)realization of certain business tax credits, including foreign
tax credits and research and development credits and d)other non-deductible
expenses, such as goodwill.

The Company maintains a $350 million revolving credit facility. At June
30, 2000, the facility was unused. At December 31, 1999, $66.0 million
of borrowings under the facility were outstanding. The facility was
revised and extended until July 21, 2005.
The credit agreement contains numerous financial and operating covenants
including, among others, covenants requiring the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios and restricting its ability to incur additional
foreign indebtedness.
(6) The Company and certain of its current and former direct and
indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been
identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") at various hazardous waste disposal sites
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state laws and, as such, may
be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 42
such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at
a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation
formula.
Based on information available to the Company which, in most cases,
includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the
probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public
companies, will fully pay the costs apportioned to them; currently
available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental
agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimate remediation
costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other
factors, the Company has established a reserve in its financial
statements for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at
June 30, 2000 of approximately $14.0 million. The Company expects this
amount to be expended over the next three to five years.
The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position
or future operating results, generally either because estimates of the
maximum potential liability at a site are not large or because liability
will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with
respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matters.
As of June 30, 2000, and at December 31, 1999, the Company had sold
$150.0 million of receivables under a $153.0 million Receivables
Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse.
(7) Comprehensive income is a measurement of all changes in
stockholders' equity that result from transactions and other economic
events other than transactions with stockholders. For the Company, this
includes foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in minimum
pension liability adjustments and net earnings. The amounts presented
as other comprehensive income, net of related taxes, are added to net
income which results in comprehensive income.

in Morse TEC and 3) the forged powder metal race business sold in 1999
which had previously been included in the results of the Transmission
Systems segment. Also, effective January 1, 2000, the Company's
instrumentation business has been transferred from the Morse TEC segment
to Air/Fluid Systems.
(9) Announcement to Sell Fuel Systems and Kysor-Westran
In April 2000, the Company announced its intention to sell two non-core
businesses, which did not fit the Company's strategic focus on
powertrain technology, Fuel Systems and Kysor-Westran Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"). These businesses were
acquired as part of the vehicle products business of Kuhlman Corporation
in March of 1999. Both divisions have been reclassified for segment
sales and EBIT reporting to divested operations. The Fuel Systems unit,
previously reported as part of Air/Fluid Systems, produces metal tanks
for the heavy truck market in North America. Kysor-Westran HVAC,
previously reported as part of Morse TEC, serves the agricultural/off
highway market in North America and Europe. Proceeds from the sales are
expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying
indebtedness or repurchasing the Company's stock on the open market.
In May 2000, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized the purchase of up to 1.2 million shares of the Company's
common stock. The shares will be repurchased in the open market at
prevailing prices and at times and amounts to be determined by
management as market conditions and its capital position warrant.
Purchased shares will be placed in treasury and may subsequently be
reissued for general corporate use. Between January 1 and June 30,
2000, the Company repurchased 494,700 shares and placed them in treasury
under this program and a previous share repurchase authorization.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
BorgWarner Inc. (the "Company") is a leading global supplier of highly
engineered systems and components for powertrain applications. Its
products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of passenger cars, sport-utility
vehicles, trucks, commercial transportation products and industrial
equipment. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving
customers in North America, Europe and Asia, and is an original
equipment supplier to every major OEM in the world.
The following discussion covers the results of operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and financial condition as
of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's products fall into five reportable operating segments:
Air/Fluid Systems, Cooling Systems, Morse TEC, TorqTransfer Systems and
Transmission Systems. Two businesses are currently for sale and have
been reclassified to divested operations: the Fuel Systems business,
previously reported in Air/Fluid Systems, and Kysor-Westran, previously
reported in Morse TEC. The following tables present net sales and
earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") by segment for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 in millions of dollars.

Consolidated sales of $700.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were 9% higher than the second quarter sales in the prior year.
Internal growth in sales, comparing businesses owned for both periods,
accounted for 6% or two-thirds of the growth. This was in line with
worldwide automobile and truck production, which increased by 2%, 6%,
and 8% in North America, Europe and Asia, respectively. As shown in the
above table, the improvement was spread across all of the operating
segments. Overall, the Company's increase is attributable to strong
worldwide vehicle production, the continued popularity of trucks and
sport utility vehicles, the trend toward turbocharged direct injected
diesel engines in Europe, and increased demand for emission control
products.
The Air/Fluid Systems segment generated 8% growth in sales and 13%
improvement in EBIT for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
prior year. The main driver was increased emission control business in
North America. Although demand is expected to soften after the strong
pace exhibited in the first half of the year, continued growth is
expected due to the worldwide emphasis on improved operating efficiency
and reduced emissions, both of which can be realized through improved
air and fuel management.
Cooling Systems' results are not fully comparable to the prior year
because of the October 1999 acquisition of the Eaton Fluid Power
Division. Quarter to date EBIT margin of 13.3% compares favorably with
the full year 1999 margin of 12.7%. The heavy truck market in North
America is softening, but light truck continues very strong.
Morse TEC sales and EBIT for the second quarter increased by 8% and 12%,
respectively, over the second quarter in the prior year despite being
negatively affected by the weak Euro, both for the German turbocharger
business and the Italian timing chain business. This segment's growth
came from new and expanded engine timing programs in each geographical
region, and continued penetration of turbochargers on direct injected
diesel engines as well as gasoline engines.
TorqTransfer Systems experienced a modest sales increase over the prior
year as unit volumes were slightly higher than the prior year, but
certain price concessions to customers and some cost economics weakened
EBIT comparisons. The segment was successful in cost containment to keep
the decline in EBIT to a minimum. Sales are expected to remain fairly
flat throughout 2000.
Excluding businesses sold in 1999, Transmission Systems increased sales
by 9% due to a strong market and market share gains in shift quality
components. However, price concessions, cost economics and R&D spending
adversely affected the EBIT comparison. EBIT comparisons are expected
to improve somewhat as a result of cost containment efforts.
Sales for the first six months of 2000 increased 20% to $1,431.1 million
from $1,192.1 million for the first six months of 1999. Adjusted for
the effects of acquisitions and divested operations, sales increased by
10%. The Company is expecting many of the favorable industry trends to
continue and anticipates sales to remain strong throughout the year,
despite an anticipated moderation in vehicle builds.
Consolidated gross margin through the first six months of 2000 was
24.4%, up from 23.2% in the first half of 1999. Higher sales volume with
a favorable mix, successful implementation of cost reduction programs
and productivity improvements, inclusion of higher margin businesses
from acquisitions, and divestiture of lower margin operations in 1999
drove the improvement. Partially offsetting the margin gain was an
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A").
Through June 2000, the Company increased its spending on research and
development ("R&D") to 4.1% of sales from 3.5% in 1999 as the Company
continued to invest in its product leadership position. In part, the
results reflect the mix impact from the newly acquired businesses, which
generate a higher level of R&D expenditures. Nevertheless, efforts are
being made to keep SG&A and R&D levels more consistent with historical
levels. SG&A spending is expected to be approximately 8 - 8 1/2% of
sales, while R&D spending is targeted in the 4% of sales range.
Goodwill amortization and interest both increased over last year as a
result of the acquisition of the Eaton Fluid Power Division in October,
1999. Other factors influencing interest expense were strong operating
cash flow and proceeds from divestitures, both of which reduced debt
levels. The macroeconomic increase in interest rates did not impact
interest expense significantly since most of the Company's debt has
fixed interest rates.
The increase in equity in affiliate earnings and other income is mainly
attributable to the Company's 50% owned Japanese joint venture, NSK-Warner.
The Company's share of NSK-Warner's income for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, amounted to $4.6 million and $4.1 million,
respectively. June 2000 year to date totaled $8.0 million versus $6.1
million in 1999.
The Company's income taxes are based upon estimated annual tax rates for
the year. The anticipated effective income tax rate for 2000 is lower
than the standard federal and state tax rates due to the expected
realization of certain R&D and foreign tax credits, due to foreign rates
which differ from those in the U.S. and due to other non-deductible
expenses, such as goodwill. The Company expects taxes to be in the
range of 37 - 38% of sales throughout 2000.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported net earnings
of $40.1 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, an increase of $3.8
million and $0.16, respectively, compared to 1999. Year to date
earnings of $81.1 million, or $3.04 per diluted share, exceeded 1999
earnings for the same period of $68.4 million, or $2.69 per diluted
share. The factors discussed above are responsible for the change.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.4 million at
June 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. Cash generated from
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $114.6 million
and consisted of net earnings of $81.1 million and non-cash charges of
$66.4 million, partially offset by a $32.9 million increase in net
operating assets and liabilities. The primary non-cash charges,
depreciation and amortization, increased in comparison to the prior year
mainly due to the acquisitions made in 1999 and the increased capital
spending in recent years. Increases in the net operating assets and
liabilities line items are consistent with the higher levels of business
the Company has experienced in 2000 relative to 1999. 1999 cash flows
were also enhanced by the collection of $33 million in payments a major
customer had deferred in December 1998.
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $2.5 million. The sale of
Coleman Cable Systems, Inc., one of the electrical products businesses
acquired from Kuhlman Corporation in March 1999, cleared escrow in
January 2000. The total sales price of $137 million included debt
securities with a face value of $15 million and $122 million in cash.
Partially offsetting this inflow was $43 million in tax payments related
to the sales of the electrical products businesses.
Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by
$20.7 million to $78.6 million compared to the same period of 1999,
reflecting several expansion projects being launched to support the
Company's strong order book and the land purchase for the BorgWarner
Powertrain Technical Center. Of the capital spending, about 60% is
related to expansion projects with the remaining funds being applied to
cost reduction programs. The Company anticipates that capital spending
for full-year 2000 will continue to be higher than in 1999 in order to
fund existing and new programs, but remain at about 6.5% of sales.
In the first half of 2000, the Company repaid $66.0 million of
borrowings under its $350 million facility, which is unused as of June
30, 2000. The Company also repurchased $13.8 of its long-term fixed
interest rate debt and spent $18.6 million to repurchase shares into
treasury during the first half of 2000.
As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had sold $150
million of receivables under a $153 million Receivables Transfer
Agreement for face value without recourse.
The Company believes that the combination of cash from its operations
and available credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy cash needs
for its current level of operations and planned operations for the
remainder of 2000 and for the foreseeable future.
OTHER MATTERS
Announcement to Sell Fuel Systems and Kysor-Westran
In April 2000, the Company announced its intention to sell two non-core
businesses, which did not fit the Company's strategic focus on
powertrain technology, Fuel Systems and Kysor-Westran Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"). These businesses were
acquired as part of the vehicle products business of Kuhlman Corporation
in March of 1999. Both divisions have been reclassified for segment
sales and EBIT reporting to divested operations. The Fuel Systems unit,
previously reported as part of Air/Fluid Systems, produces metal tanks
for the heavy truck market in North America. Kysor-Westran HVAC,
previously reported as part of Morse TEC, serves the agricultural/off
highway market in North America and Europe. Proceeds from the sales are
expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying
indebtedness or repurchasing the Company's stock on the open market.
Authorization of Share Repurchase Program
In May 2000, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized the purchase of up to 1.2 million shares of the Company's
common stock. The shares will be repurchased in the open market at
prevailing prices and at times and amounts to be determined by
management as market conditions and its capital position warrant.
Purchased shares will be placed in treasury and may subsequently be
reissued for general corporate use. Between January 1 and June 30,
2000, the Company repurchased 494,700 shares and placed them in treasury
under this program and a previous share repurchase authorization.
Litigation
As discussed more fully in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, various claims and suits seeking money damages
arising in the ordinary course of business and involving environmental
liabilities have been filed against the Company. In each of these
cases, the Company believes that it has a defendable position and has
made adequate provisions to protect the Company from material losses.
The Company believes that it has established adequate provisions for
litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position
or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with
respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.
Dividends
On July 21, 2000, the Company declared a $0.15 per share dividend to be
paid on August 15, 2000 to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2000.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") The
effective date of SFAS 133 was extended to those fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000 by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" in June 1999.
SFAS 133 established accounting and reporting requirements for
derivative instruments, including the recognition of all derivative
instruments in the statement of financial condition as either assets or
liabilities, measured at fair value. This statement additionally
requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to be recorded each
period in current earnings or comprehensive income depending on the
intended use of the derivatives. The Company is currently performing an
assessment of the impact of SFAS 133 on its results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
