COMPETITION Substantially all of our operations are in highly competitive businesses. The nature of the competition varies across all business segments. A number of large companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of similar lines of products and the provision of similar services are included in the competition, as are many small enterprises with only a few products or services. Technological innovation, price, quality, reliability, and service are primary factors in the markets served by the various segments of our businesses. The Company's many products and services go to market collectively linked by the ITT Industries brand, the engineered blocks symbol, and the tagline "Engineered for Life." The brand has been enhanced and strengthened over the years through a coordinated effort that includes advertising, public relations activities, trade exhibits, and point of sale material. The Fluid Technology segment is affected by strong competition, changing economic conditions, industry overcapacity that leads to intense pricing pressures, and public bidding in some markets. Management of Fluid Technology responds to competitive pressures by utilizing strong distribution networks, strong brand names, broad product lines focused on market niches, a global customer base, a continuous stream of new products developed from a strong technology base, a focus on quality and customer service, and through continuous cost improvement programs and life cycle cost initiatives. In Defense Electronics & Services, government defense budgets, particularly in the United States, generally have begun to increase after years of significant declines. Business consolidations continue to change the competitive environment. We have adjusted to these changes by focusing on the defense electronics and services markets, by making process improvements, and through capacity rationaliza- 9 tion. In most of the markets served by Defense Electronics & Services, competition is based primarily upon price, quality, technological expertise, cycle time, and service. In Motion & Flow Control, competition is a significant factor which has resulted in increased pressure to reduce prices and, therefore, costs. Product capability, quality, engineering support, and experience are also important competitive factors. In Electronic Components, competitive pressures continue on a global basis. In most of the markets served, competition is based primarily upon price, quality, technical expertise, and customer service. EXPOSURE TO CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS Our companies conduct operations worldwide. We, therefore, are exposed to the effects of fluctuations in relative currency values. Although our companies engage in various hedging strategies with respect to their foreign currency exposure where appropriate, it is not possible to hedge all such exposure. Accordingly, our operating results may be impacted by fluctuations in relative currency values. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- MARKET RISK EXPOSURES" and Note 18, "FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS," in the NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CYCLICALITY Many of the markets in which our businesses operate are cyclical and can be affected by general economic conditions in those markets. Since we manufacture and sell products used in historically cyclical industries, such as the construction, mining and minerals, transportation, automotive, and aerospace industries, as well as other industries served by our Electronic Components business, we could be adversely affected by negative cycles affecting those and other industries. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND RELATED MATTERS A number of our businesses are subject to governmental regulation by law or through contractual arrangements. Our Defense Electronics & Services businesses perform work under contracts with the United States Department of Defense or other agencies of the United States government and similar agencies in certain other countries. These contracts are subject to security and facility clearances under applicable governmental regulations, including regulations requiring background investigations for high-level security clearances for our executive officers. Most of such contracts are subject to termination by the respective governmental parties on various grounds, although such terminations have rarely occurred in the past. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS We are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations concerning air emissions, water discharges and waste disposal. In the United States such environmental laws and regulations include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA" or "Superfund"). Environmental requirements are significant factors affecting all operations. Management believes that our companies closely monitor all of their respective environmental responsibilities, together with trends in environmental laws. We have established an internal program to assess compliance with applicable environmental requirements for all of our facilities, both domestic and overseas. The program is designed to identify problems in a timely manner, correct deficiencies and prevent future noncompliance. Over the past several years we have conducted regular, thorough audits of our major operating facilities. As a result, management believes that our companies are in substantial compliance with current environmental regulations. Management does not believe, based on current circumstances, that we will incur compliance costs pursuant to such regulations that will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we have purchased insurance protection against certain unknown risks. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES -- ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS" and "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS". RAW MATERIALS All of our businesses require various raw materials (e.g., metals and plastics), the availability and prices of which may fluctuate. Although some cost increases may be recovered through increased prices to customers, our operating results are exposed to such fluctuations. We attempt to control such costs through purchasing and various other programs. In re- 10 cent years, our businesses have not experienced significant difficulties in obtaining an adequate supply of raw materials necessary for our manufacturing processes. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGINEERING Our businesses require substantial commitment of resources for research, development, and engineering activities to maintain significant positions in the markets we serve. Such activities are conducted in laboratory and engineering facilities at several of our major manufacturing locations. Although most of our funds dedicated to research, development, and engineering activities are applied to areas of high technology, such as aerospace and applications involving electronic components, these activities are important in all of our business segments. Expenditures by ITT Industries for research, development, and engineering relating to our on-going lines of business totaled $559.4 million in 2003, $519.1 million in 2002 and $424.7 million in 2001. Of those amounts 78.3% in 2003, 78.0% in 2002 and 76.4% in 2001 was expended pursuant to customer contracts. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY While we own and control a number of patents, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights which, in the aggregate, are of material importance to our business, management believes that our business, as a whole, is not materially dependent upon any one intellectual property or related group of such properties. We are licensed to use certain patents, technology, and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by others, and, similarly, other companies are licensed to use certain patents, technology, and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by us. Patents, patent applications, and license agreements will expire or terminate over time by operation of law, in accordance with their terms or otherwise. Such expiration or termination of patents, patent applications, and license agreements is not expected by our management to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At the time of the Distribution (see -- "COMPANY HISTORY AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS"), we obtained from ITT Destinations certain exclusive rights and licenses to use the "ITT" name, mark, and logo. In 1999, we acquired all right, title, and interest in and to the "ITT" name, mark, and logo and an assignment of certain agreements granting The Hartford and ITT Educational Services, Inc. (ESI) limited rights to use the "ITT" name, mark, and logo in their businesses. These agreements are perpetual, and the licenses are subject to maintenance of certain quality standards by both The Hartford and ESI. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2003, ITT Industries and its subsidiaries employed an aggregate of approximately 39,000 people. Of this number, approximately 17,500 are employees in the United States, of whom approximately 25% are represented by labor unions. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner. COMPANY HISTORY AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS ITT Industries, Inc. is an Indiana corporation incorporated on September 5, 1995 as ITT Indiana, Inc. It is the successor pursuant to a statutory merger of ITT Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("ITT Delaware"), into ITT Indiana, Inc. effective December 20, 1995, whereupon its name became ITT Industries, Inc. ITT Delaware, originally incorporated in Maryland in 1920 as International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, was reincorporated in Delaware in 1968. It changed its name to ITT Corporation in 1983. On December 19, 1995, ITT Delaware made a distribution (the "Distribution") to its stockholders consisting of all the shares of common stock of ITT Destinations, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("ITT Destinations"), and all the shares of common stock of ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. or "The Hartford"), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of ITT Delaware. In connection with the Distribution, ITT Destinations changed its name to ITT Corporation. On February 23, 1998, ITT Corporation was acquired by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ITT Delaware, ITT Destinations, and The Hartford entered into a Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") providing for, among other things, certain corporate transactions required to effect the Distribution and other arrangements among the three parties subsequent to the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement provides for, among other things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities generally designed to allocate the financial responsibility for the liabilities arising out of or in connection with (i) the 11 former automotive, defense & electronics, and fluid technology segments to ITT Industries and its subsidiaries, (ii) the hospitality, entertainment, and information services businesses to ITT Destinations and its subsidiaries, and (iii) the insurance businesses to The Hartford and its subsidiaries. The Distribution Agreement also provides for the allocation of the financial responsibility for the liabilities arising out of or in connection with former and present businesses not described in the immediately preceding sentence to or among ITT Industries, ITT Destinations, and The Hartford on a shared basis. The Distribution Agreement provides that neither ITT Industries, ITT Destinations nor The Hartford will take any action that would jeopardize the intended tax consequences of the Distribution. ITT Industries, ITT Destinations, and The Hartford also entered into agreements in connection with the Distribution relating to intellectual property, tax, and employee benefit matters. One member of the Board of Directors of ITT Industries also serves on the Board of Directors of The Hartford. INTERNET ADDRESS AND INTERNET ACCESS TO CURRENT AND PERIODIC REPORTS ITT Industries' website address is http:/ /www.itt.com. ITT Industries makes available free of charge on or through http:/ www.itt. com/ ir/secfilings frameset.html our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). ------------------------ See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" for information regarding forward-looking statements and cautionary statements relating thereto. ------------------------ ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal executive offices are in leased premises located in White Plains, NY. We consider the many offices, plants, warehouses, and other properties that we own or lease to be in good condition and generally suitable for the purposes for which they are used. These properties are located in several states in the United States, as well as in numerous countries throughout the world. See "BUSINESS" for further information with respect to properties in each of our business segments, including the numbers of facilities and countries in which they are located. See also Note 15, "Leases and Rentals," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries from time to time are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commerical or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future. The Company is responsible, in whole or in part, or is alleged to be responsible for environmental investigation and remediation at 104 sites in various countries. Of those sites, it has received notice that it is considered a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") at a limited number of sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and/or a similar state agency under CERCLA or its state equivalent. Other situations generally involve either actions brought by private parties relating to sites formerly owned or operated by subsidiaries of the Company seeking to recoup incurred costs or shift environmental liability to the Company pursuant to contractual language, or situations discovered by the Company through its internal environmental assessment program. In Glendale, California the Company has been involved in an environmental proceeding relating to the San Fernando Valley aquifer. The Company is one of numerous PRPs who are alleged by the EPA to have contributed to the contamination of the aquifer. In January 1999, 12 the EPA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against ITT Industries and Lockheed Martin Corporation, United States v. ITT Industries, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corp. CV99-00552 SVW AIJX, to recover costs it has incurred in connection with the foregoing. In May 1999, the EPA and the PRPs, including ITT Industries and Lockheed Martin, reached a settlement, and a consent decree requiring the PRPs to perform additional remedial activities. Under the settlement the PRPs including the Company, have constructed and are operating a water treatment system. The PRPs have agreed to operate the system for an additional 10 years. ITT Corporation operated a facility in Madison County, Florida from 1968 until 1991. In 1995, elevated levels of contaminants were detected at the site. Since then, the Company has completed the investigation of the site and is in the process of evaluating various remedies in coordination with state and federal environmental authorities. The Company has been involved with a number of PRPs regarding property in the City of Bronson, Michigan operated by a former subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Higbie Manufacturing, prior to the time it was acquired by ITT. The Company and other PRPs are investigating and remediating discharges of industrial waste which occurred in the 1930s. In a suit filed in 1991 by ITT Corporation in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al. against its insurers, the Company is seeking recovery of costs it incurred in connection with its environmental liabilities including the three listed above. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. Currently, the matter is before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims of the Company. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. A hearing is expected in 2004. In the event the appeal is successful, the Company will pursue the administrative claims against its excess insurers. During the course of the litigation the Company has negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and is prepared to pursue its legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive. A portion of the recoveries from the insurance settlements have been placed in a trust and are used to reimburse the Company for its environmental costs. The Company and its subsidiary Goulds have been joined as defendants with numerous other industrial companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These actions against the Company have been managed by our historic product liability insurance carriers, and substantially all claims, including all defense and settlement costs, have been covered by those same carriers. These claims stem primarily from products sold prior to 1985 that contained a part manufactured by a third party, e.g., a gasket, which allegedly contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers' products that may have contained asbestos. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During 2003, the Company and Goulds resolved approximately 2,000 claims through settlement or dismissal. The average amount of settlement per claim has been nominal. The Company is involved in two actions, Cannon Electric, Inc. et al. v. Ace Property & Casualty Company et al. Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, CA, Case No. BC 290354, and Pacific Employers Insurance Company et al., v. ITT Industries, Inc., et al., Supreme Court, County of New York, N.Y., Case No. 03600463. The parties in both cases are seeking an appropriate allocation of responsibility for the Company's historic asbestos liability exposures among its insurers. The California action is filed in the same venue where the Company's environmental insurance recovery litigation has been pending since 1991. Both actions have been stayed to allow the parties to negotiate an acceptable allocation arrangement. In addition, Utica National, Goulds historic insurer, has requested that the Company negotiate a coverage in place agreement to allocate the Goulds' asbestos liabilities between insurance policies issued by Utica and others. The parties are currently negotiating the terms of such an agreement. The Company is continuing to receive insurance payments during the pendency of these proceedings. 13 The Company has received notice of a suit filed in El Paso, Texas relating to its Gilfillian Division, Bund zur Unterstutzung Radargeschadigter et al. v. ITT Industries et al., Sup. Ct., El Paso, Texas C.A. No. 2002-4730. This Complaint, filed by both U.S. and German citizens, alleges that ITT and four other major companies failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers associated with exposure to x-ray radiation from radar devices. The Complaint also seeks the certification of a class of similarly injured persons. The Company's aviation insurers are contributing to the defense of this matter. The Company has received notice of a product liability suit filed in Superior Court of New York, Danis v. Rule Industries et al., Sup. Ct. N.Y., C.A. No. 115975-02, seeking damages for injuries sustained in a boat explosion. The suit contains a number of causes of action against various defendants including the boat manufacturer, the marina operator, and individuals working at the marina. As to the Company, the Complaint alleges malfunction of a fume detector manufactured by ITT's subsidiary Rule Industries, Inc., prior to the date the Company acquired Rule. The Company's insurer is on notice of this matter. The Company has received a claim from Rayonier, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company's predecessor, ITT Corporation. This claim stems from the 1994 Distribution Agreement for the spinoff of Rayonier by ITT Corporation and seeks an allocation of proceeds from certain settlements in connection with the Company's environmental insurance recovery litigation. The parties are currently in arbitration. Reference is made to "BUSINESS -- COMPANY HISTORY AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS" for information concerning the allocation of certain liabilities among the parties to the Distribution Agreement. ITEM 4.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Consolidated Results 2003 was a year in which the Company met or exceeded most of its financial goals. The Company's revenues grew almost 13% from prior year results. The contribution from acquisitions accounted for growth of 3%, while the effects of foreign currency translation contributed growth of almost 5% of the improvement. The remaining increase of 5% was generated by the Company's existing businesses and outpaced initial Company expectations, especially given mixed end market conditions. The Company also reported strong operating income performance of $528.5 million. This amount decreased $9.1 million from prior year due to increased spending on corporate initiatives and increased restructuring expense in 2003 of $34.0 million. The increased investment in corporate initiatives include: the Value-Based Six Sigma (VBSS) program, which allows for continuous process improvement and drives operational excellence throughout the organization; the Value-Based Leadership Development (VBLD) process, which develops the Company's leadership, at every level, and allows for more effective strategic and operational decision making in an organized and decisive manner; and the upgrade of the Company's information technology infrastructure, including increased bandwith across ITT's wide area network, enhanced security and the strategic positioning of global data centers. In 2003, the Company reported Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) of $4.29, which increased $0.23, or 5.7%, from the prior year. It is important to note that both periods contained special items that Management considers separately from core operations. These items in- 18 clude: restructuring, tax settlements and related interest, other items and results from discontinued operations. The net effect of these items accounted for $0.07 per share of the increase from prior year results. Cash from Operating Activities of $575.6 million dramatically exceeded Company expectations for 2003. This amount decreased $19.2 million from the prior year, but the decrease was largely due to $200.0 million of pension pre-funding in 2003 versus $50.0 million in 2002. The Company contributed an additional $100.0 million of pension pre-funding in the first quarter of 2004 and has determined that this pre-funding strategy will allow the Company to avoid any substantial, mandatory contributions in 2004 and 2005, under current IRS contribution rules. BUSINESS SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS Fluid Technology The Fluid Technology segment had a strong year with revenues of $2.25 billion being up 15.0% from 2002. Revenues from acquisitions contributed growth of 6.0% and foreign currency translation provided growth of 6.7%. The remaining revenue growth of 2.3% represented contributions from existing businesses. Water/wastewater businesses were the largest contributor to organic growth. The reported results reflect the Company's focus, which is to grow existing businesses through new product introductions and to perform strategic acquisitions to build on core competencies. The Company anticipates the trend of revenue growth to continue with strong performances from the water/wastewater businesses and the impact of WEDECO AG Water Technology ("Wedeco"), a first quarter 2004 acquisition. Wedeco is projected to add between $125 million and $140 million of revenue to the segment during 2004. Total segment revenue is projected to be between $2.45 billion and $2.51 billion in 2004. Operating income increased 7.9% during 2003 to $271.4 million primarily reflecting increased volume. Operating income is projected to be between $304 million and $317 million in 2004. DEFENSE ELECTRONICS & SERVICES The Defense Electronics & Services segment increased sales 18.3% in 2003 to $1.79 billion. This increase reflects increased revenues in all businesses, particularly in the service sectors which includes revenues from Middle East support and classified programs. The segment's backlog, which management regards as an important indicator of future performance, increased from $2.85 billion in 2002 to $3.19 billion in 2003. Revenue is projected to grow approximately 20% to 24% in 2004 resulting in revenue between $2.15 billion and $ 2.23 billion. The largest contributing factor to the forecast increase is the acquisition of Eastman Kodak Company's Remote Sensing Systems business, which is expected to provide revenues between $250 million and $275 million after closing the transaction. Forecast 2004 revenue growth, excluding the perspective 2004 acquisition, is expected to be more in line with the segment's historical performance (i.e. approximately 6%-9%). This growth will be led by increased services revenue, reflecting a broader range of offerings. Operating income was $187.1 million in 2003, or 21.5% higher than 2002. This increase reflects increased volume. Operating income is projected to be between $213 million and $229 million in 2004. MOTION & FLOW CONTROL Motion & Flow Control revenues were $992.3, or 6.1% greater than 2002. The improvement was mainly due to increased revenues in the marine and friction material businesses, as well as the positive contribution of foreign currency translation. Decreased volume in the automotive fluid handling business, reflecting certain platform losses, partially offset the above mentioned items. These platform losses are expected to impact 2004 performance resulting in revenue between $935 million and $975 million for the segment. New product revenue from the marine, friction material and shock absorber businesses are expected to partially offset the 2004 revenue decline in the fluid handling business. Operating income increased 10% to $134.7 million. The increase reflects increased volume and a change in product mix. Operating income is projected to be between $136 million and $146 million in 2004. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS The Electronic Components segment's revenue increased 2.9% to $600.3 million primarily due to the contribution of an acquisition and the 19 impact of foreign currency translation. These factors were partially offset by weakness in the telecommunications and aerospace markets. The segment was also impacted by delays in the introduction of new products. Management believes that the end markets serviced by the Electronic Components segment are showing signs of modest growth and that the segment's 2004 performance will reflect industry performance. This belief is supported by book to bill ratios of 1.02 and 1.05 in the third and fourth quarters of 2003, respectively. Additionally, new products introduced late in the fourth quarter of 2003 and expected 2004 introductions are forecasted to add to the segment's positive momentum. Revenues for 2004 are projected to be between $600 million and $640 million. Operating income was $10.0 million in 2003, and operating margin was 1.7%. The 10.4% decline from 2002 is due to changes in product mix, pricing pressures, 2003 restructuring initiatives and higher marketing and administrative costs. Operating margin for 2004 is forecast to increase approximately 430 basis points due to the benefit of 2003 restructuring initiatives, process improvement initiatives and the introduction of new products. Operating income is projected to be between $36 million and $45 million in 2004. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002: Sales and revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $5.63 billion, an increase of $641.3 million, or 12.9%, from 2002. Costs of sales and revenues of $3.68 billion for 2003 increased $471.6 million, or 14.7%, from the comparable 2002 period. The increases in sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues are primarily attributable to higher volume in the Defense Electronics & Services and Fluid Technology segments, contributions from acquisitions made by the Fluid Technology and Electronic Components segments and the impact of foreign currency translation. Product mix changes in the Defense Electronic & Services and Electronic Components segments also contributed to the increase in costs of sales and revenues. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses during 2003 were $824.7 million, an increase of $104.5 million, or 14.5%, from the comparable prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased marketing expense in all segments, reflecting expenditures from newly acquired companies, additional employee benefit costs, costs of process improvement initiatives and other increased administrative expenses. Research, development and engineering ("RD&E") expenses for 2003 increased $40.3 million, or 7.8%, compared to 2002. The increase is attributable to increased spending in all segments. During 2003, the Company recorded a $33.8 million restructuring charge to reduce operating costs and streamline its structure. The charge primarily reflects the planned reduction of 986 persons. Additionally, management reviewed the Company's remaining restructuring actions and determined that certain 2003 and 2001 actions would be completed for $4.7 million less than planned at the Electronic Components segment. Accordingly, restructuring accruals totaling $4.7 million were reversed into income during 2003. The Company also recorded an asset impairment charge of $1.4 million primarily to write-off a technology license that will not be utilized in the foreseeable future due to projected market conditions. During 2002, the Company reversed $13.1 million of restructuring accruals into income as it was determined that certain 2001 actions would be completed for less than planned. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $9.6 million restructuring charge related to the planned termination of 292 persons and the planned closure of two facilities. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Operating income for 2003 was $528.5 million compared to $537.6 million for 2002. The decrease is primarily due to increased SG&A and RD&E expenses and increased net restructuring and asset impairment charges by $34.0 million, partially offset by increased sales and revenues at each of the segments. Segment operating margin for 2003 was 10.7%, or 1.3% below the segment operating margin for the comparable 2002 period. The decrease reflects changes in product mix in the Defense Electronics & Services and Electronic Components segments, increased SG&A expenses and 2003 restructuring and asset impairment charges. Interest income was $10.1 million (net of interest expense of $20.9 million) for 2003. The 20 Company recognized $32.4 million of interest expense (net of interest income of $11.0 million) during 2002. The variance between years is primarily due to interest income of $32.3 million, related to two 2003 tax settlements, and the collection of interest income from a cost based investment that management had previously believed would not be received. Upon collection, the Company reversed the related valuation allowance into income. Additionally, lower average debt levels also contributed to the variance in interest expense. Miscellaneous expense was $7.9 million in 2003 compared to $3.6 million of income in 2002. The $11.5 million increase in expense is primarily due to higher employee benefit costs for disposed companies. Income tax expense was $139.8 million in 2003, an increase of $10.9 million from 2002. The increase is primarily due to $10.1 million of interest income during 2003 (versus $32.4 million of interest expense in 2002), and a higher effective tax rate in 2003, partially offset by lower operating income in 2003. The effective income tax rate for 2003 was 26.3% compared to 25.3% in 2002. The increase is primarily due to a $61.2 million tax refund received during 2002, of which $30.6 million was reflected as a reduction of tax expense. Several favorable 2003 tax settlements partially offset the impact of the 2002 refund. Income from continuing operations in 2003 was $390.9 million, or $4.15 per diluted share, compared to $379.9 million or $4.06 per diluted share for 2002. The increase reflects the results discussed above. The Company recognized $13.0 million of income from discontinued operations in 2003. The income primarily relates to the collection of a disputed receivable related to the Company's disposed automotive businesses. Upon collection, the Company reversed the related valuation allowances, which had been previously established for the assets, resulting in the above mentioned income. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001: Sales and revenues in 2002 were $4.99 billion, an increase of $309.6 million, or 6.6%, from 2001. Costs of sales and revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased $167.4, or 5.5%, from 2001. The increases were primarily attributable to increased sales in the Defense Electronics & Services, Fluid Technology, and Motion & Flow Control segments partially offset by volume declines in the Electronic Components segment. SG&A expenses in 2002 were $720.2 million, an increase of $48.9 million, or 7.3%, from 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to increased marketing expenses in the Fluid Technology segment and costs associated with process improvement initiatives, increased information technology spending and increased other administrative expenses across all businesses. RD&E expenses increased $94.4 million, or 22.2%, in 2002 compared to 2001, primarily due to increased spending in the Defense Electronics & Services segment. During 2002 management conducted quarterly progress reviews of the Company's remaining restructuring actions and determined that $13.1 million of planned cash expenditures would not be incurred. Accordingly, $13.1 million of restructuring accruals, primarily relating to the 2001 Restructuring Plan, were reversed into income. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $9.6 million related to the termination of 292 persons and the closure of two facilities. During 2001 the Company recorded a $97.7 million restructuring and asset impairment charge to reduce structural costs and improve profitability. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these matters. Operating income of $537.6 million in 2002 was $140.8 million, or 35.5%, higher than the prior year (excluding goodwill amortization expense the increase was $100.1 million, or 22.9%). Operating margin of 10.8%, was 230 basis points higher than the margin for 2001 (approximately 140 basis points higher than 2001, excluding goodwill amortization expense). Excluding goodwill amortization expense, the increases were primarily due to the $97.7 million restructuring and asset impairment charge recorded in 2001 and increased segment volume. These items were partially offset by lower operating margins in the Electronic Components segment, reflecting higher SG&A expenses. Increased corporate expenditures reflecting the 21 cost of process improvement initiatives, increased information technology spending, and increased administrative expenses, also offset the improved margin. Interest expense of $32.4 million (net of interest income of $11.0 million) decreased $29.6 million from 2001 primarily due to a favorable change in average interest rates and lower average debt levels as a result of increased cash from operations. The effective income tax rate for 2002 was 25.3% compared to 35.0% for 2001. The decrease in the 2002 effective tax rate was due to approximately $31 million of tax gains related to a capital loss carryback and the benefit of several foreign tax planning initiatives initiated in 2002 and 2001 to reduce the structural rate. The elimination of goodwill expense, pursuant to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") also contributed to the decline in the effective tax rate. Income from continuing operations in 2002 was $379.9 million, or $4.06 per diluted share, compared to $216.7 million, or $2.39 per diluted share in 2001. The increase was due to higher operating income and lower interest expense. These items were partially offset by higher income tax expense. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company reassessed accruals for discontinued operations, determined that activities related to those accruals would be completed for $60.0 million less than originally estimated and reversed the related accruals into income. The excess was primarily related to favorable foreign tax rulings. See the section entitled "Discontinued Operations" and Note 5, "Discontinued Operations," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002: Fluid Technology sales and revenues of $2.25 billion increased $293.6 million, or 15.0%, from 2002. Costs of sales and revenues increased $209.6 million, or 16.3%, from 2002. Higher volume in the water/wastewater markets, acquisition revenue from the water/wastewater and engineered process solutions businesses and the impact of foreign currency translation were the primary factors for the increases. SG&A expenses during 2003 increased $51.6 million, or 13.8%, compared to 2002, mainly due to increased marketing expenses, reflecting expenditures from newly acquired companies, and increased administrative costs in most markets. During 2003, the segment recorded a $13.8 million restructuring charge mainly related to a planned reduction in headcount. Restructuring charges recorded during 2002 totaled $6.0 million for workforce reductions. Additionally, the segment reversed $1.5 million of restructuring accruals in 2002 that management deemed unnecessary. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Operating income for 2003 was up $19.9 million, or 7.9%, compared to 2002 due to the activity discussed above. Defense Electronics & Services sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues for 2003 increased $277.0 million, or 18.3%, and $199.8 million, or 23.6%, respectively, from the prior year. The increases are due to increased revenue in all businesses including higher service revenue reflecting Middle East support and classified programs. Product mix issues also contributed to the increase in costs of sales and revenues. SG&A expenses increased $12.9 million, or 12.9%, primarily due to higher marketing expenses and increased employee benefit and administrative costs in most businesses. During 2003, the segment recorded a $1.0 million restructuring charge related to the reduction in headcount. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. RD&E expenses during 2003 increased $29.2 million, or 7.0%, due to increased spending in most businesses. Operating income for 2003 was $187.1 million, an increase of $33.1 million, or 21.5%, compared to 2002. The increase reflects the results discussed above. Motion & Flow Control recorded sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues of $992.3 million and $721.6 million, respectively, during 2003, reflecting increases of $56.8 million, or 6.1%, and $28.8 million, or 4.2%, from 2002. The increases were mainly due to increased sales in the marine and friction material businesses and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by volume declines in 22 the automotive fluid handling business. SG&A expenses increased $9.2 million, or 10.7%, reflecting higher marketing costs in the marine business and increased administrative costs in most businesses. RD&E expenses were $3.6 million, or 11.0% higher than the comparable 2002 period as spending increased in most businesses. During 2003, the segment recorded a net restructuring charge of $4.4 million mainly related to a planned reduction in headcount and the closure of one facility. Restructuring charges recorded during 2002 totaled $3.0 million primarily for a reduction in headcount and the closure of one facility. Additionally, the segment reversed $1.5 million of restructuring accruals in 2002 that management deemed unnecessary. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Operating income of $134.7 million was $12.3 million, or 10.0%, higher in 2003 compared to 2002, primarily due to the items mentioned above. Electronic Components sales and revenues of $600.3 million and costs of sales and revenues of $429.9 million in 2003, increased $16.8 million, or 2.9%, and $36.3 million, or 9.2%, respectively, from the comparable prior year period. The increases reflect the contribution from an acquisition and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by weaknesses in the telecommunication and commercial aerospace markets. Product mix issues also contributed to the increase in costs of sales and revenues. SG&A expenses increased $18.5 million due to increased marketing, reflecting expenditures from a newly acquired company, employee benefit and administrative expenses, including the impact of a 2003 first quarter acquisition. During 2003, the segment recorded a $13.2 million restructuring charge primarily relating to planned headcount reductions and reversed $4.6 million of restructuring accruals into income as management deemed certain 2003 and 2001 actions would be completed for less than originally planned. Additionally, in 2003 the segment recorded a $1.4 million asset impairment charge mainly to write-off a license agreement for technology, which will not be utilized in the foreseeable future due to projected market conditions. Restructuring charges recorded by the segment during 2002 totaled $0.6 million (refer to the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Operating income for 2003 decreased $60.4 million, or 85.8%, from 2002. The decline was due to the factors discussed above. Corporate expenses increased $14.0 million during 2003, primarily due to costs related to process improvement initiatives, a $1.3 million restructuring charge for planned headcount reductions (refer to the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) and increased administrative expenses. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001: Fluid Technology sales and revenues of $1.96 billion increased $126.6 million, or 6.9%, from 2001. Costs of sales and revenues increased $82.6 million, or 6.9%. The increases reflect increased volume in the Water/Wastewater and Engineered Process Solutions Group businesses, and the contribution of 2002 acquisitions, partially offset by volume declines in the Industrial Pump business. SG&A expenses increased $20.3 million, or 5.8%, during 2002 primarily due to increased marketing costs. During 2002, management conducted quarterly progress reviews of the remaining restructuring actions and reversed $1.5 million of the segment's restructuring accruals that were deemed unnecessary. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Fluid Technology segment recorded a restructuring charge of $6.0 million, primarily for the reduction of 147 employees and the closure of one facility. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the segment recorded a $16.0 million restructuring charge. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this topic. Operating income, for 2002 excluding goodwill amortization expense increased $30.9 million, or 14.0%, due to the factors discussed above. Defense Electronics & Services sales and revenues of $1.51 billion increased $209.1 million, or 16.0%, compared to 2001. Costs of sales and revenues increased $99.8 million, or 13.4% from 2001. The increases were primarily 23 attributable to increased volume across all businesses. SG&A expenses were flat with prior year. RD&E costs increased $86.8 million, or 26.5%, in 2002 due to the fulfillment of increased expenditures related to customer contracts across all businesses. During the fourth quarter of 2002, management reviewed the remaining restructuring actions and reversed $1.0 million of the segment's restructuring accruals that were deemed unnecessary. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this topic. Operating income for 2002 was $21.9 million, or 16.6%, greater than 2001 operating income, excluding goodwill amortization, due to the factors mentioned above. The Defense Electronics & Services segment's total backlog was $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company generally records new contract awards into backlog when funding has been authorized and appropriated by the customer. Management utilizes the backlog measurement when analyzing the operations of the Defense Electronics & Services segment and believes that it is a good indicator of the future performance of our defense businesses. Motion & Flow Control recorded sales and revenues of $935.5 million and costs of sales and revenues of $692.8 million for the year, representing increases of $36.8 million, or 4.1%, and $26.5 million, or 4.0%, respectively, over 2001. The increases were primarily due to increased volume in the automotive fluid handling systems business due to higher North American build rates in 2002, market share gains in the friction materials business and market growth in the leisure marine business, partially offset by declines at Aerospace Controls. SG&A expenses increased $4.9 million, or 6.0%, due to higher marketing expense and fixed asset losses during 2002, partially offset by decreased administrative expenses. During the second half of 2002, management reviewed the remaining restructuring actions and reversed $1.5 million of the segment's restructuring accruals that were deemed unnecessary. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Motion & Flow Control segment recorded a restructuring charge of $3.0 million, primarily for the reduction of 140 employees, the closure of one facility, and the consolidation of selected functions. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the segment recorded a restructuring charge of $8.1 million. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this topic. Excluding goodwill amortization expense, operating income of $122.4 million for 2002 increased $8.3 million, or 7.3%, from 2001 due to the above mentioned factors. Electronic Components sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues declined $63.5 million, or 9.8%, and $41.8 million, or 9.6%, respectively, from 2001. The declines reflect general softness in all of the segment's markets. SG&A expenses increased $11.8 million, or 13.5%, during 2002 due to increased general and administrative costs. During the second half of 2002, management reviewed the remaining restructuring actions and reversed $8.7 million of the segment's restructuring accruals that related to favorable completion of planned actions and the determination that certain planned actions were not economically feasible. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2002, the segment recorded a restructuring charge of $0.6 million. During 2001, the segment recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $55.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively. See the section entitled "Status of Restructuring and Asset Impairments" and Note 4, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these topics. Excluding goodwill amortization expense, operating income of $70.4 million for 2002 was up $44.6 million from 2001 due to the above mentioned factors. STATUS OF RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS 2003 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES As discussed in the "Accounting Pronouncements" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company recorded restructuring charges related to 2003 actions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities."

The reversals primarily reflect lower than anticipated severance costs on completed actions and favorable employee attrition at the Electronic Components segment. Additionally, certain actions were not completed as they were no longer deemed feasible. The Company also reversed other non-cash charges totaling $0.2 million. During 2003 headcount was reduced by 690 persons and the Company experienced employee attrition, leaving a balance of 192 planned reductions related to the 2003 restructuring plans. In addition, one facility remains to be closed related to 2003 restructuring plans. Actions announced during 2003 will be substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2004. During 2004 the Company anticipates approximately $15 million of restructuring payments associated with all 2003 restructuring plans. The balance of restructuring payments of approximately $1 million is planned for 2005. Future restructuring payments will be funded with cash from operations, supplemented as required with commercial paper borrowings. 2003 OTHER ASSET IMPAIRMENTS During 2003, the Company recorded a $1.4 million asset impairment charge primarily for the write-off of a technology license that will not be utilized based on management's projections of future market conditions. The applicable assets were written down to their fair values based on management's comparison of projected future discounted cash flows generated by each asset to the applicable asset's carrying value. These impairments were unrelated to the Company's restructuring activities. 2002 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES During the fourth quarter of 2002 the Company recorded a $9.6 million restructuring charge primarily for the closure of two facilities and the planned severance of 292 persons. Severance of $8.5 million represents a majority of the charge and lease payments and other costs represent the remainder. Listed below, by business segment, is background information on the 2002 restructuring plan (in millions). <Table> <Caption> CASH CHARGES ---------------------------------------- LEASE PAYMENTS/ SEVERANCE TERMINATIONS OTHER TOTAL --------- ------------ ----- ----- Fluid Technology.......................................... $5.4 $0.4 $0.2 $6.0 Motion & Flow Control..................................... 2.5 -- 0.5 3.0 Electronic Components..................................... 0.6 -- -- 0.6 ---- ---- ---- ---- Total 2002 Charges........................................ $8.5 $0.4 $0.7 $9.6 ==== ==== ==== ==== </Table> The actions within the Fluid Technology segment represent a reduction of its cost structure that management deemed necessary in response to continued weakness within certain of the segment's markets. Planned measures include the closure of one facility in Fairfield, N.J. and the termination of 147 persons, comprised of 78 office workers, 65 factory workers and four management employees. The restructuring plan within the Motion & Flow Control segment was driven by the anticipated loss of certain platforms in the automotive fluid handling systems business during 2003 and the resulting excess capacity. Planned actions include the closure of one facility in Rochester, N.Y., the consolidation of manufacturing and administrative processes, and the termination of 140 employees, comprised of 40 office workers, 97 factory workers and three management employees. The actions within the Electronic Components segment represent cost control actions required by continuing difficult market conditions. These actions include the termination of five employees, comprised of three office workers and two management employees. 27 The following table displays a rollforward of the restructuring accruals for the 2002 restructuring program (in millions): <Table> <Caption> CASH CHARGES --------------------------------------- LEASE SEVERANCE COMMITMENTS OTHER TOTAL --------- ----------- ----- ----- Establishment of 2002 Plan.......................... $ 8.5 $ 0.4 $ 0.7 $ 9.6 Payments............................................

Some severance run-off payments will occur in 2004 and closed facility costs will continue through 2007. Future restructuring expenditures will be funded with cash from operations, supplemented, as required, with commercial paper borrowings. The remaining projected future cash savings from the 2002 restructuring plan are approximately $12 million in 2004 and approximately $34 million between 2005 and 2007. The savings represents lower salary and wage expenditures and decreased facility operating costs. The impact will be reflected in "Costs of Sales and Revenues" and "Selling, General and Administrative Expenses." Actual savings approximated plan in 2003 and 2002. During 2004, the Company anticipates $2.0 million of restructuring payments associated with the 2002 restructuring plan. Future restructuring payments will be funded with cash from operations, supplemented as required with commercial paper borrowings. 2001 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES On December 14, 2001, the Company announced a restructuring program to reduce structural costs and improve profitability whereby the Company recorded a charge of $83.3 million related to the closure of five facilities, the discontinuance of 21 products (10 in the Switch product group and 11 in the Connectors group), the severance of 3,400 persons and other asset impairments. The cash portion of the charge of $61.0 million primarily relates to severance and lease termination costs. The non-cash portion of the charge of $22.3 million primarily relates to machinery and equipment that became impaired as a result of the announced plans. Listed below, by business segment, is background information on the 2001 restructuring plan (in millions). <Table> <Caption> CASH CHARGES -------------------------------- LEASE PAYMENTS/ ASSET SEVERANCE TERMINATIONS OTHER IMPAIRMENTS TOTAL --------- ------------ ----- ----------- ----- Electronic Components.................... $33.0 $1.5 $2.5 $18.2 $55.2 Fluid Technology......................... 10.5 1.8 0.8 2.9 16.0 Motion & Flow Control.................... 4.9 2.1 0.3 0.8 8.1 Corporate and Other...................... 3.5 -- 0.1 0.4 4.0 ----- ---- ---- ----- ----- Total 2001 Charges....................... $51.9 $5.4 $3.7 $22.3 $83.3 ===== ==== ==== ===== ===== </Table> In 2001, sales in the Electronic Components segment decreased $127.6 million, or 16.5%, and operating income, excluding restructuring, decreased $13.1 million, or 13.2%. Excluding the contribution of acquisitions made in 2001, sales decreased approximately $192 million. The decrease was primarily due to a downturn in the communication and industrial 28 markets. In addition, management expected further sales declines in 2002, specifically in the communications, industrial, and commercial aircraft markets. The combination of the downturn in these markets and the businesses acquired in 2000 and late 1999 resulted in excess capacity and prompted management to seek opportunities to reduce costs. As a result of this review, management decided to consolidate manufacturing functions as well as other administrative tasks throughout the segment. These planned actions included the outsourcing of production operations from Weinstadt, Germany to third party suppliers in Poland and Hungary, the transfer of ten product lines from five locations in North America and Europe (Loveland, Colorado; Santa Ana, California; Weinstadt, Germany; Basingstoke, UK; and Dole, France) to two locations in China (Shenzhen and Tianjin), the consolidation of European administrative functions, the transfer of production operations from Santa Ana, California to Nogales, Mexico, the closure of manufacturing facilities in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Watertown, Massachusetts and other smaller actions consisting primarily of the elimination of administrative functions. In addition, management also decided to discontinue 21 older connector and switch products. Revenue in 2001 from these products totaled $29.3 million. The above planned actions included the termination of 2,753 persons, comprised of 2,395 factory workers, 348 office workers and 10 management employees, and resulted in a cash charge of $37.0 million (which included $33.0 million for severance) and an asset impairment charge of $18.2 million (primarily for machinery and equipment that will be disposed of as a result of the restructuring activities). Actions within the Fluid Technology segment, the Motion & Flow Control segment and Corporate Headquarters were identified as cost improvement opportunities. Processes and functions were identified that could be outsourced, performed at other existing facilities, or eliminated as redundant. These measures were prompted primarily by management's efforts to reduce costs and their projections of no recovery in the Industrial Pumps businesses and anticipated declines in worldwide automotive build rates. The planned actions within the Fluid Technology segment included the outsourcing of manufacturing functions in City of Industry, California, Seneca Falls, New York and Ashland, Pennsylvania to third party suppliers in the United States, Mexico and China, the consolidation of tasks throughout the segment and the closure of a foundry in Nanjing, China. These actions incorporated the termination of 436 persons, comprised of 236 factory workers, 189 office workers and 11 management employees, and resulted in a cash charge of $13.1 million (which included $10.5 million for severance) and asset impairment charges of $2.9 million (primarily for machinery and equipment that was scrapped). The planned actions in the Motion & Flow Control segment included the closure of a manufacturing facility in Costa Mesa, California, where the operations were to be consolidated into three existing facilities, the closure of a manufacturing facility in Saffron Walden, England, where the operations were to be consolidated into a facility in Denmark, the closure of a sales office in Germany and the consolidation of other administrative tasks. These actions included the projected termination of 183 persons comprised of 144 factory workers, 28 office workers and 11 management employees and resulted in a cash charge of $7.3 million (which included $4.9 million for severance) and asset impairment charges of $0.8 million (primarily for machinery and equipment that was discarded). The planned actions at the Company's corporate headquarters and other shared service facilities consisted of the consolidation of administrative tasks which included the termination of 28 persons comprised of 26 office workers and two management employees and resulted in a cash charge of $3.6 million (which included $3.5 million for severance) and an asset impairment charge of $0.4 million. During 2004, the Company anticipates $1.3 million of restructuring payments associated with the 2001 restructuring plan. The remaining $0.5 million of payments are expected to be incurred evenly in 2005 and 2006. Future restructuring payments will be funded with cash from operations, supplemented as required with commercial paper borrowings. 29 The following table displays a rollforward of the restructuring accruals for the 2001 restructuring program (in millions): <Table> <Caption> CASH CHARGES ------------------------------- LEASE ASSET SEVERANCE COMMITMENTS OTHER IMPAIRMENTS TOTAL --------- ----------- ----- ----------- ------ Establishment of 2001 Plan............. $ 51.9 $ 5.4 $ 3.7 $ 22.3 $ 83.3 Payments...............................

The reversals primarily reflect less than anticipated severance costs on completed actions at the Electronic Components segment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2002, $1.7 million and $10.1 million of restructuring accruals were reversed into income as a result of quarterly reviews of the Company's remaining restructuring actions, respectively. The reversals primarily reflect less than anticipated severance costs on completed actions at each of the segments, the decision not to transfer five product lines (from Santa Ana, California; Weinstadt, Germany; Dole, France, and Basingstoke, UK, to Shenzhen and Tianjin, China), as supply chain issues eliminated the financial viability of the transfers, and the decision to continue partial operations at one of the Electronic Component's facilities. In addition, management determined that one facility within the Fluid Technology segment would remain operational as a suitable outsource supplier could not be identified. During 2003, the Company reduced headcount by 24 persons and closed one facility, effectively completing all remaining actions contemplated under the 2001 restructuring program. Severance run-off payments will occur in 2004 and closed facility expenditures will continue to be incurred through 2004. Remaining future cash and non-cash savings are projected to be approximately $211 million and $16 million, respectively, for the period from 2004 to 2006. OTHER ASSET IMPAIRMENTS In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company initiated a full review of long-lived assets in the Electronic Components segment because of significant volume declines and pricing pressures in the business and because management expected further volume declines in 2002, specifically in the communications market and the industrial and commercial aircraft markets. As a result of this review, the Company recorded impairments on machinery and equipment of $13.9 million and an impairment of $0.5 million on a cost based investment. The applicable assets were written down to their fair values based on management's comparison of projected future discounted cash flows generated by each asset to the applicable asset's carrying value. These impairments were unrelated to the Company's restructuring activities. SUMMARY OF 2001 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The total impact of the restructuring initiative and the asset impairment review was a charge of $97.7 million, or $63.5 million after-tax recorded in 2001. The remaining projected aggregate future cash and non-cash savings of the above mentioned actions are approximately $211 million and $16 million, respectively, for the period from 2004 to 2006. These figures include total savings of approximately $78 million in 2004. The savings will be reflected primarily in costs of sales and revenues and 30 selling, general and administrative expenses. Actual savings approximated plan in 2003 and 2002. As a result of quarterly reviews of the progress of the Company's remaining restructuring actions, during the second half of 2003 and 2002 management determined that $0.9 million and $11.8 million of cash expenditures would not be incurred, respectively. Accordingly, $0.9 million and $11.8 million of restructuring accruals relating to the 2001 Restructuring Plan were reversed into the restructuring and asset impairments line of the Consolidated Income Statements in 2003 and 2002, respectively. In connection with the restructuring activities and the asset impairment charge, the Company identified assets with a total book value of $26.2 million, primarily machinery and equipment, for disposal. The Electronic Components segment identified $22.0 million, the Fluid Technology segment identified $3.4 million and the Motion & Flow Control segment identified $0.8 million for disposal. All assets were disposed of by the end of 2003. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In September of 1998, the Company completed the sales of its automotive Electrical Systems business to Valeo SA for approximately $1,700 million and its Brake and Chassis unit to Continental AG of Germany for approximately $1,930 million. These dispositions were treated as discontinued operations. In connection with the sale of these businesses, the Company established accruals for taxes of $972.7 million, representation and warranty and contract purchase price adjustments of $148.8 million, direct costs and other accruals of $102.0 million and environmental obligations of $16.1 million. In 1998 and 1999, the Company received notifications of claims from the buyers of the automotive businesses requesting post-closing adjustments to the purchase prices under the provisions of the sales agreements. During 1999, those claims were submitted to arbitration. The following tables display a rollforward of the automotive discontinued operations accruals from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2003 (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> AUTOMOTIVE DISCONTINUED BEGINNING BALANCE 2001 2001 2001 ENDING BALANCE OPERATIONS ACCRUALS JANUARY 1, 2001 SPENDING SETTLEMENTS OTHER ACTIVITY DECEMBER 31, 2001 - ----------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- -------------- ----------------- Direct Costs/Other........ $ 52 $ -- $ -- $ 755 $ 807 Representation & Warranty................ 6,960 (9,827) (5,793) 18,160 9,500 Environmental............. 14,747 (135) -- -- 14,612 Income Tax................ 236,316 -- -- (82,165) 154,151 -------- ------- ------- -------- -------- Total..................... $258,075 $(9,962) $(5,793) $(63,250) $179,070 ======== ======= ======= ======== ======== </Table> In 2001, the Company disbursed approximately $10 million primarily for legal defense costs related to the claims filed by the buyers. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company settled the Continental AG claim. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the arbitration hearing with Valeo SA concluded. The Company also reassessed its obligations related to the disposal of the automotive businesses and determined that it would spend $63.3 million less on the disposition, primarily due to favorable foreign tax rulings. Based on this assessment, $63.3 million was reversed into the 2001 Consolidated Income Statement under income from discontinued operations. <Table> <Caption> AUTOMOTIVE DISCONTINUED BEGINNING BALANCE 2002 2002 2002 ENDING BALANCE OPERATIONS ACCRUALS JANUARY 1, 2002 SPENDING SETTLEMENTS OTHER ACTIVITY DECEMBER 31, 2002 - ----------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- -------------- ----------------- Other Deferred Liabilities......... $ 807 $ (46) $-- $ -- $ 761 Accrued Expenses...... 9,500 (909) -- 12,007 20,598 Environmental......... 14,612 (75) -- -- 14,537 Income Tax............ 154,151 -- -- -- 154,151 -------- ------- -- ------- -------- Total................. $179,070 $(1,030) $-- $12,007 $190,047 ======== ======= == ======= ======== </Table> 31 In the first quarter of 2002, the arbitrator ruled that Valeo SA must pay the Company monies to settle the claim related to the sale of the Electrical Systems business. <Table> <Caption> AUTOMOTIVE DISCONTINUED BEGINNING BALANCE 2003 2003 2003 ENDING BALANCE OPERATIONS ACCRUALS JANUARY 1, 2003 SPENDING SETTLEMENTS OTHER ACTIVITY DECEMBER 31, 2003 - ----------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- -------------- ----------------- Other Deferred Liabilities......... $ 761 $ -- $-- $ (761) $ -- Accrued Expenses...... 20,598 (1,668) -- (1,244) 17,686 Environmental......... 14,537 (94) -- (195) 14,248 Income Tax............ 154,151 -- -- -- 154,151 -------- ------- -- ------- -------- Total................. $190,047 $(1,762) $-- $(2,200) $186,085 ======== ======= == ======= ======== </Table> In 2003, the Company reassessed its obligations related to the disposal of the automotive businesses and determined that it would spend $2.2 million less on the disposition, related to favorable spending on professional fees and adjustments to its environmental exposures. Based on this assessment, $2.2 million was reversed into the 2003 Consolidated Income Statement under income from discontinued operations. At December 31, 2003, the Company has automotive discontinued operations accruals of $186.1 million that primarily relate to the following: taxes $154.2 million -- which are related to the original transaction and are recorded in Accrued Taxes; product recalls $7.8 million -- related to nine potential product recall issues which are recorded in Accrued Expenses; environmental obligations $14.3 million -- for the remediation and investigation of groundwater and soil contamination at thirteen sites which are recorded in Other Liabilities; employee benefits $9.9 million -- for workers compensation issues which are recorded in Accrued Expenses. In 2003, the Company has spent approximately $1.8 million of the automotive discontinued operations accruals. The Company expects that it will cash settle $154.2 million of tax obligations in 2004 or 2005. The Company projects that it will spend between $3.0 million and $4.0 million in 2004 related to its remaining automotive obligations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CASH FLOW OVERVIEW: The Company generated $575.6 million of cash from operating activities during 2003. Income from continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization contributed approximately $579.0 million of cash flow. The liquidation of approximately $87.0 million of working capital and the deferral of $167.2 million of tax payments were also positive contributors of cash. Cash from operating activities during 2003 also reflects a $200.0 million pre-funding of pension obligations. The Company utilized the cash generated from operating activities for $153.6 million of capital expenditures, $46.2 million of strategic acquisitions, and the reduction of debt ($186.8 million). Additionally, dividend payments totaled $58.0 million and $69.7 million was utilized to purchase the Company's common stock. The Company made an additional $100 million pre-funding of pension obligations in the first quarter of 2004 and anticipates significant tax payments during 2004. After consideration of these items, cash from operating activities during 2004 is projected to be between $460 million and $510 million. For 2004, cash requirements will be funded with future cash from operations supplemented, as required, by commercial paper borrowings. CASH FLOWS: COMPARISON OF 2003 TO 2002 Cash flows from operating activities during 2003 decreased $19.2 million, or 3.2%, from the comparable 2002 period. The decrease is primarily attributable to $150.0 million of incremental pre-funding of pension obligations ($200.0 million in 2003 vs. $50.0 million in 2002), partially offset by lower tax payments, increased payable levels and a reduction in inventory levels. 32 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS: The Company's commitment to make future payments under long-term contractual obligations was as follows, as of December 31, 2003. <Table> <Caption> PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD --------------------------------------------- LESS THAN MORE THAN CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TOTAL 1 YEAR 1-3 YEARS 3-5 YEARS 5 YEARS - ----------------------- -------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Long-Term Debt (1)..................... $ 408.1 $ 2.9 $ 8.6 $ 17.0 $379.6 Operating Leases (2)................... 434.6 72.2 111.2 72.0 179.2 Purchase Obligations (3)............... 235.1 198.2 34.7 2.2 -- Other Long-Term Obligations Reflected on Balance Sheet (4)................. 114.1 10.8 21.5 20.4 61.4 -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ Total.................................. $1,191.9 $284.1 $176.0 $111.6 $620.2 ======== ====== ====== ====== ====== </Table> - --------------- (1) See Note 16, "Debt," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for discussion of the use and availability of debt and revolving credit agreements. (2) Refer to Note 15, "Leases and Rentals," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion of lease and rental agreements. (3) The unconditional purchase commitments are principally take or pay obligations related to the purchase of certain raw materials and subcontract work. (4) Other long-term liabilities primarily consists of estimated environmental payments. The Company estimates, based on historical experience, that it will spend between $8.0 million and $11.0 million per year on environmental investigation and remediation of its 104 sites. The Company is contractually required to spend a portion of these monies based on existing agreements with various governmental agencies and other entities. At December 31, 2003, ITT has calculated a best estimate to remediate ground water and soil of $108.0 million and has recorded an accrual that approximates the estimate. ADDITIONS TO PLANT, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Capital expenditures were $153.6 million during 2003, and flat with the comparable prior year period. ACQUISITIONS: During 2003, the Company spent $46.2 million primarily for the acquisition of two entities, one in the Electronic Components segment and one in the Fluid Technology segment. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired of $30.5 million was recorded as goodwill. All of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of each acquired company are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition. The Company does not believe the acquisitions are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operation or financial condition; however the larger of the acquisitions were as follows: - - The VEAM/TEC Division of the Northrop Grumman Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of cylindrical, filter and fiber optic connectors for the military/aerospace, industrial, transit, entertainment and nuclear markets. - - Uniservice Wellpoint Srl., a manufacturer of high quality diesel and electric powered, vacuum primed centrifugal pumps, along with spear or well point dewatering systems for the rental market and sale. The purchase price allocations for the 2003 acquisitions were based on preliminary data and changes are expected as evaluations are finalized and as additional information becomes available. Additionally, the Company also finalized purchase price allocations related to the 2002 acquisitions, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $5.1 million. During 2002, the Company spent $159.2 million primarily for the acquisition of nine entities. Eight of the entities were additions to the Fluid Technology segment and one was within the Defense Electronics & Services segment. The Company does not believe the acquisitions are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operation or financial 33 condition; however the larger of the acquisitions were as follows: - - Flowtronex PSI Inc. ("Flowtronex"), a manufacturer of modular pumping systems for golf courses and other turf irrigation, sports fields, municipal and commercial properties. - - PCI Membranes, a provider of membrane filtration and chlorine disinfection systems for water treatment and industrial water reuse. - - The Biopharm Manufacturing Division of Martin Petersen Company, Inc., a leading manufacturer of process systems for the biopharmaceutical industry. All of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of each acquired company are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase prices over the fair values of net assets acquired of $117.2 million was recorded as goodwill. Additionally, the Company also finalized purchase price allocations related to the 2001 acquisitions, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $9.2 million. During 2001, the Company spent approximately $91 million for several small acquisitions and investments, which were not considered material individually or in the aggregate. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired of $72.1 million was recorded as goodwill. Additionally during 2001, the Company completed purchase price allocations related to acquisitions made during 2000, which resulted in an increase of goodwill of $18.3 million. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company ceased recording goodwill amortization in accordance with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). Acquisitions made during the second half of 2001 had no goodwill amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Goodwill associated with acquisitions made in the first half of 2001 was amortized over periods up to 40 years (See "Accounting Pronouncements" for further discussion of the impact of SFAS No. 142). Refer to Note 2, "Changes in Accounting Pronouncements," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the impacts of this statement. SALE OF INVESTMENT: During 2003, the Company sold substantially all its investment in a defense related business for $43.5 million. DIVESTITURES: During 2003, the Company generated $17.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale of plant, property and equipment. This is primarily due to the sale of land for $7.3 million at Defense Electronics & Services and the sale of a building at Electronic Components for $2.8 million. The remaining $6.9 million of cash proceeds from the sale of assets represents plant, property and equipment sales across all businesses. During 2002, the Company sold its interest in a defense-related joint venture for approximately $6 million and other property and equipment for $5.6 million. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company sold two corporate planes for $30.7 million and other plant, property, and equipment across all businesses for $11.8 million. SHARE REPURCHASE: In 2003, 2002 and 2001, 1.0 million, 0.7 million and 3.5 million shares, respectively, were repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of exercised stock options. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES: Debt at December 31, 2003 was $602.4 million, compared with $791.8 million at December 31, 2002. The change in debt levels primarily reflects the Company's utilization of cash from operating activities to pay down debt. Cash and cash equivalents were $414.2 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $202.2 million at December 31, 2002. The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement, which expires in November 2005, with 20 domestic and foreign banks providing aggregate commitments of $1.0 billion. The interest rate for borrowings under these agreements is generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a spread, which reflects the Company's debt rating. The provisions of these agreements require that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 3.75 times. At December 31, 2003, the Company's coverage ratio was well in excess of the minimum require- 34 ment. The commitment fee on the revolving credit agreement is .125% of the total commitment, based on the Company's current debt ratings. The revolving credit agreement serves as backup for the commercial paper program. Borrowing through commercial paper and under the revolving credit agreement may not exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate outstanding at any time. At December 31, 2003, commercial paper borrowings were $120.0 million. STATUS OF AUTOMOTIVE DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: During 2003, the Company spent $1.8 million on matters attributable to its automotive discontinued operations. Tax obligations of $154.2 million are expected to be resolved in 2004 or 2005. In addition, the Company projects between $3.0 million and $4.0 million of annual spending related to its remaining automotive obligations. All payments will be paid with future cash from operations supplemented, as required, by commercial paper borrowings. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS GUARANTEES & INDEMNITIES: In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its automotive electrical systems business to Valeo SA for approximately $1,700 million. As part of the sale, the Company provided Valeo SA with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of that business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Valeo SA for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Valeo SA may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Valeo SA on an undiscounted basis is $680.0 million. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at December 31, 2003, the Company has an accrual of $7.8 million, which is its best estimate of the potential exposure. In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its brake and chassis unit to Continental AG for approximately $1,930 million. As part of the sale, the Company provided Continental AG with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of that business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Continental AG for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Continental AG may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Continental AG on an undiscounted basis is $950.0 million. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at December 31, 2003, the Company has an accrual of $14.3 million, which is its best estimate of the potential exposure. Since its incorporation in 1920, the Company has acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. The Company has separately discussed material indemnities provided within the last eight years. The Company provided three guarantees with respect to its real estate development activities in Flagler County, Florida. Two of these guarantee bonds were issued by the Dunes Community Development District (the District). The bond issuances were used primarily for the construction of infrastructure, such as water and sewage utilities and a bridge. The Company would be required to perform under these guarantees if the District failed to provide interest payments or principal payments due to the bond holders. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments on these guarantees equals $28.9 million. At December 31, 2003, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable for these guarantees 35 and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements. The third guaranty is a performance bond in the amount of $10.0 million in favor of Flagler County, Florida. The Company would be required to perform under this guarantee if certain parties did not satisfy all aspects of the development order, the most significant aspect being the expansion of a bridge. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments on the third guarantee equals $10.0 million. At December 31, 2003, the Company has an accrual related to the expansion of a bridge in the amount of $10.0 million. In December of 2002, the Company entered into a sales-type lease agreement for its corporate aircraft and then leased the aircraft back under an operating lease agreement. The Company has provided, under the agreement, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $44.8 million, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. The Company would have to make payments under the residual value guarantee only if the fair value of the aircraft was less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. At December 31, 2003, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable, and, therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements. MARKET RISK EXPOSURES The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the risks associated with changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. To limit the risks from such fluctuations, the Company enters into various hedging transactions that have been authorized pursuant to the Company's policies and procedures. See Note 1, "Accounting Policies," and Note 18, "Financial Instruments," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. To manage exposure to interest rate movements and to reduce its borrowing costs, the Company has borrowed in several currencies and from various sources. The Company has several fixed to floating interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $336.8 million. As a result of the swaps, the interest expense on substantially all of the Company's long-term debt is calculated on a variable, rather than fixed rate, basis. Terms of the agreements match the terms of the fixed debt and reference the three-month LIBOR. The carrying value of these swaps at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $81.6 million and $97.0 million, including $4.0 million of accrued interest in each period. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's short-term and long-term debt obligations were $602.4 million and $791.8 million, respectively. In addition, the Company's cash balances at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $414.2 million and $202.2 million, respectively. Based on these positions and the Company's overall exposure to interest rates, changes of 13 and 15 basis points (equivalent to 10% of the Company's weighted average short-term interest rates, including the rates associated with the Company's interest rate swaps, at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively) on the Company's cash and marketable securities and on its floating rate debt obligations and related interest rate derivatives would have a $0.1 million and $0.8 million effect on the Company's pretax earnings for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Increases of 74 and 78 basis points in long-term interest rates (equivalent to 10% of the Company's weighted average long-term interest rates at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively) would have a $0.6 million and $0.5 million reduction in the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The multinational operations of the Company are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company utilizes foreign currency denominated forward contracts to hedge against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. Such contracts generally have durations of less than one year. The Company has utilized foreign currency denominated derivative instruments to selectively hedge certain transactions in foreign countries. During 2003, the Company's largest exposures to foreign exchange rates existed primarily with the Euro, Swedish Krona, and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. At December 31, 2003, the Company had seven foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding for a total notional amount of $81.1 million. A 10% depreciation of the Euro against all other currencies related to the Company's foreign currency derivatives, held as of December 31, 2003, would cause a net reduction of $2.5 million on the fair value of such instruments. During 2002, the Company's largest exposures to foreign exchange rates existed primarily with the Euro, Swedish Krona, and British Pound against the 36 U.S. Dollar. At December 31, 2002, the Company had nine foreign currency derivatives outstanding for a total notional amount of $109.1 million. A 10% depreciation of the Euro against all other currencies related to the Company's foreign currency derivatives, held as of December 31, 2002, would cause a net reduction of $4.3 million on the fair value of such instruments. During 2001, the Company's largest exposures to foreign exchange rates exist primarily with the Euro, Swedish Krona, and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. At December 31, 2001, the Company had seven foreign currency derivatives outstanding for a total notional amount of $50.3 million. A 10% depreciation of the Euro against all other currencies related to the Company's foreign currency derivatives contracts held as of December 31, 2001, would cause a net reduction of $1.2 million on the fair value of such instruments. The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge exposures and, as such, the quantification of the Company's market risk for foreign exchange financial instruments does not account for the offsetting impact of the Company's underlying investment and transactional positions. INCOME TAXES FOREIGN TAX CREDITS: As a global company, the Company makes provisions for, and pays taxes in, numerous jurisdictions, some of which impose income taxes in excess of equivalent U.S. domestic rates. Credit for such taxes is generally available under U.S. tax laws when earnings are remitted, or deemed to be remitted, to the United States. The Company expects to utilize all credits generated through December 31, 2003 for income taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions that currently do not have a valuation allowance. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: The Company had net deferred tax assets of $335.1 million and $532.9 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The deferred tax assets for both periods are composed of U.S., foreign, state and local deferred tax assets. These net deferred tax assets arise from temporary differences between assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes and primarily relate to the timing of accrual payments, employee benefits, and accelerated depreciation. It is management's expectation that the Company will have sufficient future taxable income from continuing operations to utilize its deductions in future periods. As of December 31, 2003, a valuation allowance of approximately $40.7 million exists for deferred income tax benefits related to certain U.S. subsidiary loss carryforwards and certain foreign tax credits that may not be realized. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported value of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company has identified three accounting policies where estimates are used that require assumptions or factors that are of an uncertain nature, or where a different estimate could have been reasonably utilized or changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. ENVIRONMENTAL: Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company calculates the liability by utilizing a cost estimating and weighting matrix that separates costs into recurring and non-recurring categories. The Company then uses internal and external experts to assign confidence levels based on the site's development stage, type of contaminant found, applicable laws, existing technologies and the identification of other potentially responsible parties. This methodology produces a range of estimates, including a best estimate. At December 31, 2003, the Company's best estimate is $108.0 million, which approximates the accrual related to the remediation of ground water and soil. The low range estimate for environmental liabilities is $80.0 million and the high range estimate is $171.0 million. On an annual basis the Company spends between $8.0 million and $11.0 million on its environmental remediation liabilities. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for environmental 37 expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. The Company is currently involved in the environmental investigation and remediation of 104 sites, including certain instances where it is considered to be a potentially responsible party by the EPA or similar state agency. At present, the Company is involved in litigation against its insurers for reimbursement of environmental response costs. Recoveries from insurance companies or other third parties are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that they will be realized. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of the amounts accrued, management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. See Note 21, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on environmental matters. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company sponsors numerous employee pension and welfare benefit plans. These plans utilize various assumptions in the determination of projected benefit obligations and expense recognition related to pension and other postretirement obligations. These assumptions include: discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, mortality, termination, and health care inflation trend rates, some of which are disclosed in Note 19, "Employee Benefit Plans," within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Key Pension Assumptions: The Company determines its expected return on plan assets assumption by evaluating both historical returns and estimates of future returns. Specifically, the Company analyzes the Plan's actual historical annual return on assets over the past 10, 15, 20 and 25 years; makes estimates of future returns using a Capital Asset Pricing Model; and evaluates historical broad market returns over the past 75 years based on the Company's strategic asset allocation, which is detailed in Note 19, "Employee Benefit Plans," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on the approach described above, the Company estimates the long-term annual rate of return on assets for domestic pension plans at 9.0%. For reference, the Company's actual geometric average annual return on plan assets for domestic pension plans stood at 10.1%, 11.2%, 11.8%, and 12.6%, for the past 10, 15, 20, and 25 year periods, respectively. The Company's weighted average expected return on plan assets for all pension plans, including foreign affiliate plans, at December 31, 2003, is 8.86%. The Company utilizes the assistance of its plan actuaries in determining the discount rate assumption. As a service to its clients, the plan actuaries have developed and published an interest rate yield curve to enable companies to make judgments pursuant to EITF Topic No. D-36, "Selection of Discount Rates Used for Measuring Defined Benefit Pension Obligations and Obligations of Post Retirement Benefit Plans Other Than Pensions." The yield curve is comprised of AAA/AA bonds with maturities between zero and thirty years. The plan actuaries then discount the annual benefit cash flows of the Company's pension plan using this yield curve and develop a single-point discount rate matching the plan's characteristics. At December 31, 2003, the Company lowered the discount rate on all of its domestic pension plans, which represent about 90% of the Company's total pension obligations, from 6.50% to 6.25%. The Company's weighted average discount rate for all pension plans, including foreign affiliate plans, at December 31, 2003, is 6.18%. At December 31, 2003, the Company also lowered its expected rate of future compensation increases for its domestic plan participants to 4.5%, from 5.0%, based on recent historical experience and expectations for future economic conditions. <Table> <Caption> ASSUMPTION 2003 2002 - ---------- ---- ---- Long-Term Rate of Return on Assets...... 8.86% 9.61% Discount Rate used to determine benefit obligation at Dec. 31................. 6.18% 6.44% Discount Rate used to determine net periodic benefit cost................. 6.44% 7.14% Rate of future compensation increase used to determine benefit obligation at Dec. 31............................ 4.42% 4.88% </Table> Management develops each assumption using relevant Company experience in conjunction with market related data for each individual 38 country in which such plans exist. All assumptions are reviewed periodically with third party actuarial consultants and adjusted as necessary. Pension Plan Accounting and Information: The Company's strategic asset allocation target for its U.S. domestic plans apportions 70% of all assets to equity instruments and the remaining 30% to fixed income instruments. At December 31, 2003, the Company's actual asset allocation was 68.5% in equity instruments, 21.6% in fixed income instruments and 9.7% in hedge funds, with the remainder in cash and other. On an annual basis, the Company's long-term expected return on plan assets will often differ from the actual return on plan assets. The chart below shows actual returns versus the expected long-term returns for the Company's domestic pension plans that are utilized in the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost. Please see Note 19, "Employee Benefit Plans," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. <Table> <Caption> 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 ---- ----- ---- ---- ---- Expected Return on Assets............. 9.00% 9.75% 9.75% 9.75% 9.75% Actual Return on Assets............. 28.3% (10.9)% (4.0)% (0.7)% 22.4% </Table> The Company's Defense Electronics & Services segment represents approximately 50% of the active U.S. Salaried Plan participants. As a result, the Company has sought and will continue to seek reimbursement from the Department of Defense for a portion of its pension costs, in accordance with government regulations. U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) govern the extent to which pension costs are allocable to and recoverable under contracts with the U.S. Government. Reimbursements of pension costs are made over time through the pricing of the Company's products and services on U.S. Government contracts. Funding requirements under IRS rules are a major consideration in making contributions to our pension plan. The Company contributed $206.3 million to the U.S. Master Trust in 2003, and an additional $100.0 million in the first quarter of 2004. As a result, the Company will not face material minimum required contributions to its U.S. Salaried Plan in 2004 and 2005, under current IRS contribution rules. Furthermore, we currently estimate that we will not make significant additional contributions to the Company's U.S. Salaried Pension Plan during the remainder of 2004. Depending on market conditions, and assuming that current IRS contribution rules continue to apply in the future, the Company estimates that it may be required to contribute an additional zero to $400 million in the 2005 to 2006 timeframe. Funded Status: Funded status is derived by subtracting the value of the projected benefit obligations at December 31, 2003 from the end of year fair value of plan assets. The Company's U.S. Salaried Pension Plan represents approximately 80% of the Company's total pension obligation, and therefore the funded status of the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan has a considerable impact on the overall funded status of the Company's pension plans. During 2003, the Company's U.S. Salaried Pension Plan assets grew by $647.0 million to $2,989.2 million at the end of 2003. This increase primarily reflected return on assets of $659.0 million, and company contributions of $200.0 million, offset by payments to plan beneficiaries of $206.8 million. Also during 2003, the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan increased by $152.0 million to $3,448.8 million. The increase included the $104.3 million impact of a 25 basis point decline in the discount rate at year-end, as well as the $(28.3) million impact of a 50 basis point decrease in the expected rate of future compensation increases. As a result, the funded status for the Company's U.S. Salaried Plan improved by $495.4 million to $(459.6) million at the end of 2003. Funded status for the Company's total pension obligations, including foreign and affiliate plans, improved by $452.6 million to $(871.3) million at the end of 2003. Funded status at the end of 2004 will depend primarily on the actual return on assets during the year and the discount rate at the end of the year. The Company estimates that every 25 basis points change in the discount rate impacts the funded status of the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan, which represents about 80% of the Company's pension obligations, by approximately $104 million. Similarly, every five per- 39 centage point change in the actual 2004 rate of return on assets impacts the same plan by approximately $150 million. Minimum Pension Liability: SFAS No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," ("SFAS No. 87"), requires that a minimum pension liability be recorded if a plan's market value of assets falls below the plan's accumulated benefit obligation. In 2002, the combination of a decline in the discount rate and a decline in assets caused several of the Company's plans to be in a deficit position. Accordingly, during 2002, the Company recorded a total after-tax reduction of $765.5 million to its total shareholders' equity. As a result of the improved financial markets in 2003, the Company recorded a total after-tax increase of $182.5 to its shareholders' equity at year-end 2003. It is important to note that these actions did not cause a default in any of the Company's debt covenants. Future recognition of additional minimum pension liabilities will depend primarily on the rate of return on assets and the prevailing discount rate. Pension Expense: The Company uses the market-related value of assets method, as described in paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 87, for the calculation of pension expense. This method recognizes investment gains or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they occur. In addition, in accordance with paragraph 32 of SFAS No. 87, a portion of the Company's unrecognized net actuarial loss is amortized and this cost is included in the net periodic benefit cost. The Company recorded $33.0 million of net periodic pension cost ($35.4 million after considering the effects of curtailment losses) into its Consolidated Income Statement in 2003, compared with pension income of $10.4 million in 2002. The 2003 net periodic pension cost reflected benefit service cost of $73.3 million and interest cost on accrued benefits of $256.5 million, offset by the expected return on plan assets of $327.0 million. In addition, the 2003 pension expense included $23.5 million of amortization of past losses, up from $3.2 million in 2002. The primary drivers behind the increase in the net periodic pension cost were the effect of the change in the discount rate, the effect of the lowered assumption as to expected return on assets and the increase in amortization of past losses in 2003. In 2004, the Company expects to incur approximately $65.0 million of pension expense that will be recorded into its Consolidated Income Statement. The increase in pension expense is primarily due to the effect of the change in discount rate and higher amortization of past losses. REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered and when title transfers for products, subject to any special terms and conditions of specific contracts. For the majority of the Company's sales, title transfers when products are shipped. Under certain circumstances, title passes when products are delivered. In the Defense Electronics & Services segment, certain contracts require the delivery, installation, testing, certification and customer acceptance before revenue can be recorded. Further, some sales are recognized when the customer picks up the product. The Defense Electronics & Services segment typically recognizes revenue and anticipated profits under long-term, fixed-price contracts based on units of delivery or the completion of scheduled performance milestones. Estimated contract costs and resulting margins are recorded in proportion to recorded sales. During the performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs (design, manufacturing, and engineering and development costs) are periodically reviewed and revisions are made when necessary. The effect of these revisions to estimates is included in earnings in the period in which revisions are made. There were no material revisions to estimates in the covered periods. Accruals for estimated expenses related to warranties are made at the time products are sold or services are rendered. These accruals are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and estimates of future costs. Management believes the warranty accruals are adequate; however, actual warranty expenses could differ from estimated amounts. The accrual for product warranties at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $34.5 million and $40.4 million, respectively. See Note 22, "Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties," in the 40 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 132 (revised December 2003) "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits." This revised SFAS retains the disclosure requirements of SFAS 132. Additionally, the pronouncement requires additional disclosures regarding the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, plan obligations, cash flows and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit post retirement plans. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective December 31, 2003. Adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"), effective July 1, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires intangible assets other than goodwill be identified. Such intangibles are required to be amortized over their economic useful lives. The adoption of SFAS No. 141, in 2001, did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, which changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. The amortization of goodwill from past business combinations ceased upon adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test that compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value and determined that no impairment existed. Both tests were conducted in the first quarter of 2002. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). The standard requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets be recorded at fair value when incurred. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 outlines accounting and financial reporting guidelines for the sale or disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at its fair value in the period it is incurred and applies prospectively to such activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Statement also requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective December 2002 and continues to account for its plans under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees." In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 clarifies the circumstances under which a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No 133. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies 41 when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 were effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company did not have any financial instruments that met the provisions of SFAS No. 150; therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires the recognition of liabilities for guarantees that are issued or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002. The liabilities should reflect the fair value, at inception, of the guarantors' obligations to stand ready to perform, in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The interpretation also requires disclosure of accounting policies and methodologies with respect to warranty accruals, as well as a reconciliation of the change in these accruals for the reporting period. Refer to Note 22, "Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks and rewards of ownership among their owners and other parties involved. The provisions of FIN 46 are applicable to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For variable interest entities created before January 31, 2003, the provisions were effective December 31, 2003. The Company did not create or obtain any variable interest entities during 2003. The Company elected early adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 related to variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003 as of July 1, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Interpretation No. 46; however, it had no impact on ITT's adoption. In January 2004, FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP No. 106-1") was issued. FSP No. 106-1 permits the deferral of recognizing the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) in the accounting for postretirement health care plans under SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and in providing disclosures related to the plan required by SFAS No. 132. The deferral of the accounting for the Act continues to apply until authoritative guidance is issued on the accounting for the federal subsidiary provided by the Act or until certain other events requiring plan remeasurement. The Company has elected the deferral provided by this FSP and is evaluating the magnitude of the potential favorable impact of this FSP on the financial statements. The authoritative guidance, when issued, could require a change to previously reported information. See Note 19, "Employee Benefits," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of postretirement benefits. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations that affect its operating facilities and impose liability for the cleanup of past discharges of hazardous substances. In the United States, these laws include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environ- 42 mental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with these and all other applicable environmental requirements. Environmental compliance costs are accounted for as normal operating expenses. In estimating the costs of environmental investigation and remediation, the Company considers, among other things, regulatory standards, its prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, and the professional judgment of environmental experts. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company's share, if any, of liability for such problems, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in cleanup standards. When it is possible to create reasonable estimates of liability with respect to environmental matters, the Company establishes accruals in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States. Insurance recoveries are included in other assets when it is probable that a claim will be realized. Although the outcome of the Company's various remediation efforts presently cannot be predicted with a high level of certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For disclosure of the Company's commitments and contingencies, see Note 21, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. EURO CONVERSION: The Company successfully implemented its Euro conversion plans and has not experienced any problems related to the conversion. 2004 OUTLOOK: The Company expects 2004 revenues and earnings to exceed the financial results reported in 2003. Overall, revenues are projected to grow between 9% and 13% from 2003. The anticipated financial performance of the Defense Electronics & Services and Fluid Technology segments are the primary factors for this increase. Growth in the Defense Electronics & Services segment is expected to be 20% to 24% over 2003, driven by higher service revenue, reflecting a broader range of offerings/capabilities, and acquisition revenue related to a second quarter 2004 acquisition. Expected revenue growth of 9% to 11% from 2003, in the Fluid Technology segment is due to continued growth in the water/wastewater business and acquisition revenue associated with a first quarter 2004 acquisition. Revenue, from the introduction of new products, is expected to increase results in the Electronic Components segment. Platform losses in the automotive tubing business will drive a revenue decline of 2% to 6% from 2003, in the Motion & Flow Control Segment. Sales growth in the leisure marine business, resulting from new products, will partially offset the decline. Operating income is projected to increase between 15% and 24% in 2004 due to the revenue growth discussed above. Segment operating margin is projected to increase between approximately 50 and 100 basis points over 2003 due to the benefits of 2003 restructuring actions and the Company's shift in its manufacturing footprint. New products will also increase operating margins.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE In April 2002, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") to serve as ITT's independent auditor for 2002. Prior to that date, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") had served as the Company's independent public accountants. The report by Andersen on the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Andersen's report on ITT's consolidated financial statements for 2001 was issued on an unqualified basis in conjunction with the publication of ITT's 2001 Annual Report to Shareowners and the filing of ITT's Annual Report on Form 10-K. During 2001 and through the date of the change, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2002. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2003 and 2002 and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of such period in identifying, on a timely basis, material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. (b) There have been no changes during the period covered by this Annual Report in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 45 PART III ITEM 10.

S-1 </Table> F-1 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of ITT Industries, Inc. is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the information contained in the consolidated financial statements and other sections of this document. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, where necessary, include amounts that are based on management's informed judgments and estimates. Other information herein is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. ITT Industries' consolidated financial statements are audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, whose appointment is ratified by the shareholders. Management has made ITT Industries' financial records and related data available to Deloitte & Touche LLP, and believes that the representations made to the independent auditors are valid and complete. ITT Industries' system of internal controls is a major element in management's responsibility to assure that the consolidated financial statements present fairly the Company's financial condition. The system includes both accounting controls and the internal auditing program, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's assets are safeguarded, that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management's authorization, and that fraudulent financial reporting is prevented or detected. ITT Industries' internal controls provide for the careful selection and training of personnel and for appropriate divisions of responsibility. The controls are documented in written codes of conduct, policies, and procedures that are communicated to ITT Industries' employees. Management continually monitors the system of internal controls for compliance. In addition, based upon management's assessment of risk, both operational and financial, special reviews are performed by contracted auditors to periodically test the effectiveness of selected controls. The independent auditors also consider internal controls and perform tests of accounting records to enable them to express their opinion on ITT Industries' consolidated financial statements. They also make recommendations for improving internal controls, policies, and practices. Management takes appropriate action in response to each recommendation. In 2002, ITT Industries established a Disclosure Committee with responsibility for considering and evaluating the materiality of information and reviewing disclosure obligations on a timely basis. The Disclosure Committee meets regularly, reports to the General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer and assists the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in designing, establishing, reviewing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of independent, non-employee directors, meets periodically with management and, also separately and privately, with the independent auditors and contracted auditors to evaluate the effectiveness of the work performed by them in discharging their respective responsibilities. <Table> /s/ Louis J. Giuliano /s/ Edward W. Williams Louis J. Giuliano Edward W. Williams Chairman, President and Senior Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer </Table> F-2 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors and Shareholders of ITT Industries, Inc. White Plains, New York We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ITT Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated January 23, 2002. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142. As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Notes 6, 13 and 17 of these financial statements include additional disclosures related to 2001. The additional disclosures and the audit procedures performed by us on those additional disclosures are described below. Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes additional disclosures relating to the components comprising sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 6 with respect to 2001 included (i) agreeing the previously reported sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues to previously issued financial statements (ii) agreeing the product sales, service revenues, costs of product sales and costs of service revenues to the Company's underlying sales and revenues and costs of sales and revenues records obtained from management, (iii) agreeing the service revenues and costs of service revenues by segment to the Company's underlying service revenues and costs of service revenues records obtained from management, and (iv) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of the product sales, service revenues, costs of product sales and costs of service revenues. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 in Note 6 are appropriate. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 have been revised to include the transitional disclosures required by SFAS No. 142, which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2002. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures on the consolidated income statement with respect to 2001 included (i) agreeing the previously reported net income to the previously issued financial statements and the adjustments to reported net income, representing amortization expense (including any related tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill and intangible assets that are no longer being amortized, to the Company's underlying records obtained from management, and (ii) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income, and the related earnings per share amounts. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 on the consolidated income statement are appropriate. F-3 Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes additional disclosures relating to the cash flow components comprising the individual changes in receivables, inventories, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 17 with respect to 2001 included (i) agreeing the previously reported cumulative change in accounts receivables, inventories, and accounts payable and accrued expenses to previously issued financial statements, (ii) agreeing the change in receivables, change in inventories, and change in accounts payable and accrued expenses to the Company's underlying records obtained from management, and (iii) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of the change in receivables, inventories, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 in Note 17 are appropriate. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such disclosures mentioned above and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 2003 and 2002 financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the table of contents on page S-1 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. The 2003 and 2002 schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The 2001 schedule was subjected to auditing procedures by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on that financial statement schedule in their report dated January 23, 2002. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Stamford, Connecticut March 11, 2004 F-4 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES To the Shareholders of ITT Industries, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ITT Industries, Inc. (an Indiana corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, as set forth on the accompanying Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedule. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ITT Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

F-10 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ITT Industries, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Company consolidates companies in which it owns more than 50% of the voting shares. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the fiscal year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. See Note 23, "Business Segment Information," for a description of the Company's segments. SALES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenues as services are rendered and when title transfers for products, subject to any special terms and conditions of specific contracts. Our Defense Electronics & Services segment generally recognizes sales and anticipated profits under long-term fixed-price contracts based on the units of delivery or the completion of scheduled performance milestones. Estimated contract profits are recorded into earnings in proportion to recorded sales. During the performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The effect of these revisions to estimates is included in earnings in the period in which the revisions are made. Sales under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees or profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours incurred plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded when first identified by the Company. Revenue arising from the claims process is not recognized either as income or as an offset against a potential loss until it can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING: Significant costs are incurred each year in connection with research, development, and engineering ("RD&E") programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are charged to income as incurred, except to the extent recoverable under existing contracts. Approximately 78.3%, 78.0% and 76.4% of total RD&E costs were expended pursuant to customer contracts for each of the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES: Most inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or "FIFO") or market. A full absorption policy is employed using standard cost techniques that are periodically reviewed and adjusted when required. Potential losses from obsolete and slow-moving inventories are recorded when identified. Domestic inventories valued under the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method represent 11.7% and 11.4% of total 2003 and 2002 inventories, respectively. There would not have been a material difference in the value of inventories if the FIFO method had been used by the Company to value all inventories. LONG-LIVED ASSET IMPAIRMENT LOSSES: The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. When the undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, losses are recorded for the difference between the discounted net cash flows of the assets and the carrying amount. Certain losses recognized in 2003 and 2001 were recorded in restructuring and asset impairments. See Note 4, F-11 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges," for further discussions on these losses. PLANT, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Plant, property and equipment, including capitalized interest applicable to major project expenditures, are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the economic useful lives of the assets involved as follows: buildings and improvements -- five to 40 years, machinery and equipment -- two to 10 years, furniture and office equipment -- three to seven years, and other -- five to 40 years. Gains or losses on sale or retirement of assets are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill, the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant. As of January 1, 2002, pursuant to SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of all goodwill and indefinite-lived assets. During 2001, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years, and purchased intangible assets including patents, trademarks and non-compete agreements were amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic useful lives not to exceed 40 years. See Note 2, "Changes in Accounting Pronouncements," for the impact of changes in accounting pronouncements on goodwill amortization. INVESTMENTS: Investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable market value are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Such investments were recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value as of year-end. For investments in which the Company owns or controls 20% or more of the voting shares, or over which it exerts significant influence over operating and financial policies, the equity method is used. The Company's share of net income or losses of equity investments is included in miscellaneous (income) expense in the Consolidated Income Statements and was not material in any period presented. Investments are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each year-end; income accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustments component of shareholders' equity. The national currencies of the foreign companies are generally the functional currencies. Net gains from foreign currency transactions are reported currently in selling, general and administrative expenses and were $4.2, $0.3 and $2.9 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts and/or swaps, as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. Changes in the spot rate of instruments designated as hedges of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustments component of shareholders' equity. The Company and its subsidiaries are end-users and do not utilize these instruments for speculative purposes. The Company has rigorous standards regarding the financial stability and credit standing of its major counterparties. Additionally, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as derivative assets or derivative liabilities. Subject to certain specific qualifying conditions in SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments F-12 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), a derivative instrument may be designated either as a hedge of the fair value of an asset or liability (fair value hedge), or as a hedge of the variability of cash flows of an asset or liability or forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). For a derivative instrument qualifying as a fair value hedge, fair value gains or losses on the derivative instrument are reported in net income, together with offsetting fair value gains or losses on the hedged item that are attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument qualifying as a cash flow hedge, fair value gains or losses associated with the risk being hedged are reported in other comprehensive income and released to net income in the period(s) in which the effect on net income of the hedged item is recorded. Fair value gains and losses on a derivative instrument not qualifying as a hedge are reported in net income. Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. Net payments are recognized as an adjustment to interest. If the swaps were terminated, unrealized gains or losses would be deferred and amortized over the shorter of the remaining original term of the hedging instrument or the remaining life of the underlying debt instrument. Such gains or losses would be reflected in net interest expense. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS: Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. The Company's estimated liability is reduced to reflect the anticipated participation of other potentially responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their respective shares of the relevant costs. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from the estimates, given inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures. Accruals for environmental liabilities are generally included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance companies or other third parties. Recoveries from insurance companies or other third parties are included in other assets when it is probable that a claim will be realized. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION: At December 31, 2003, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan that is issuing new options and restricted shares. The Company also has two stock-based employee compensation plans and two stock-based non-employee director's compensation plans that have options and restricted shares outstanding, but will not be issuing additional stock-based compensation. These plans are described more fully in Note 20, "Shareholders' Equity." The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based on the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts: <Table> <Caption> 2003 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------ Net income As reported........................ $403.9 $379.9 $276.7 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for awards not reflected in net income -- net of tax...............

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) volatility of 28.72%, 28.30% and 27.61%, respectively; expected life of six years; and risk-free interest rates of 3.37%, 4.78% and 4.91%, respectively. The value of stock-based compensation that was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Income Statements during the periods ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $0.7, $0.6, and $0.9, respectively. EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares, which include stock options. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 132 (revised December 2003) "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"). The revised standard retains the disclosure requirements of SFAS 132. Additionally, the pronouncement requires additional disclosures regarding the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, plan obligations, cash flows and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit post retirement plans. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective December 31, 2003. Adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"), effective July 1, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires intangible assets other than goodwill be identified. Such intangibles are required to be amortized over their economic useful lives. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 in 2001 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, which changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. The amortization of goodwill from past business combinations ceased upon adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test that compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value and determined that no impairment existed. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). The standard requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets be recorded at fair value when incurred. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 outlines accounting and financial reporting F-14 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) guidelines for the sale or disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at its fair value in the period it is incurred and applies prospectively to such activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective December 2002 and continues to account for its plans under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees." In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 149 clarifies the circumstances under which a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 were effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company did not have any financial instruments that met the provisions of SFAS No. 150; therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires the recognition of liabilities for guarantees that are issued or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002. The liabilities should reflect the fair value, at inception, of the guarantors' obligations to stand ready to perform, in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. This interpretation also requires disclosure of accounting policies and methodologies with respect to warranty accruals, as well as a reconciliation of the change in these accruals for the reporting period. Refer to Note 22, "Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties," for additional information. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires unconsolidated variable interest entities to be F-15 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks and rewards of ownership among their owners and other parties involved. The provisions of FIN 46 were applicable to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest in after that date. For variable interest entities created before January 31, 2003, the provisions were effective December 31, 2003. The Company did not create or obtain any variable interest entities during 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Interpretation No. 46; however, it had no impact on ITT's adoption. In January 2004, FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP No. 106-1") was issued. FSP No. 106-1 permits the deferral of recognizing the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) in the accounting for postretirement health care plans under SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and in providing disclosures related to the plan required by SFAS No. 132. The deferral of the accounting for the Act continues to apply until authoritative guidance is issued on the accounting for the federal subsidy provided by the Act or until certain other events requiring plan remeasurement. The Company has elected the deferral provided by this FSP and is evaluating the magnitude of the potential favorable impact of this FSP on the financial statements. The authoritative guidance, when issued, could require a change to previously reported information. See Note 19, "Employee Benefits," for discussion of postretirement benefits. NOTE 3 ACQUISITIONS During 2003, the Company spent $46.2 primarily for the acquisition of two entities, one in the Electronic Components segment and one in the Fluid Technology segment. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired of $30.5 was recorded as goodwill, of which $5.6 was tax deductible. The Electronic Components segment was assigned $24.0 of the goodwill balance and the Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control segments were assigned $5.4 and $1.1, respectively. The purchase price allocations for the 2003 acquisitions were based on preliminary data and changes are expected as evaluations are finalized and additional information becomes available. All of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of each acquired company are included in the Consolidated Income Statement from the date of acquisition. The Company does not believe the acquisitions are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operation or financial condition; however, the larger of the acquisitions were as follows: - - The VEAM/TEC Division of the Northrop Grumman Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of cylindrical, filter and fiber optic connectors for the military/aerospace, industrial, transit, entertainment and nuclear markets. - - Uniservice Wellpoint Srl., a manufacturer of high quality diesel and electric powered, vacuum primed centrifugal pumps, along with spear or well point dewatering systems for the rental market and sale. Additionally, the Company also finalized purchase price allocations related to the 2002 acquisitions, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $5.1. During 2002, the Company spent $159.2 primarily for the acquisition of nine entities. Eight of the entities were additions to the Fluid Technology segment and one was within the Defense Electronics & Services segment. The Company does not believe the acquisitions are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operations or financial condition; however, the larger of the acquisitions were as follows: - - Flowtronex PSI Inc. ("Flowtronex"), a manufacturer of modular pumping systems for golf courses and other turf irrigation, F-16 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) sports fields, municipal and commercial properties. - - PCI Membranes, a provider of membrane filtration and chlorine disinfection systems for water treatment and industrial water reuse. - - The Biopharm Manufacturing Division of Martin Petersen Company, Inc., a leading manufacturer of process systems for the biopharmaceutical industry. The Company recognized $117.2 of goodwill from these acquisitions, of which approximately $69 was tax deductible. The Fluid Technology segment was assigned $116.6 of goodwill and the Defense Electronics & Services segment was assigned the remaining $0.6. In addition, in 2002, the Company finalized purchase price allocations associated with a 2001 acquisition which reduced goodwill by $9.2. During 2001, the Company completed several small acquisitions for a total of $90.9, none of which exceeded $50.0. The aggregate acquisition costs exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $72.1 and this excess has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill related to acquisitions made before June 30, 2001 was amortized over periods up to 40 years. Goodwill related to acquisitions made after June 30, 2001 was not amortized, in accordance with SFAS No. 142. In 2001, the Company also finalized purchase price allocations related to acquisitions made prior to 2001, which resulted in an increase to goodwill of $18.3. NOTE 4 RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES 2003 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES The Company recorded restructuring charges related to 2003 actions in accordance with SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Restructuring actions initiated prior to January 1, 2003 were recorded in accordance with the guidelines of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Benefits (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." During the fourth quarter of 2003 the Company announced actions to reduce operating costs primarily through the reduction of headcount. The new $15.4 restructuring charge primarily reflects the severance of 301 employees. The actions by segment are as follows: - - The Electronic Components segment recorded $1.5 of the charge for the termination of 132 employees, including 113 factory workers, 14 office workers and five management employees. - - The Fluid Technology segment recognized $12.4 of the charge for the severance of 134 employees, including 39 factory workers, 90 office workers and five management employees. Lease and other costs represent $0.3 of the charge. The segment also recorded a $0.2 charge associated with the disposal of machinery and equipment. - - The Defense Electronics & Services segment recorded a $1.0 charge for the severance of 35 employees, including seven factory workers, 19 office workers and nine management employees. In addition to the new restructuring actions announced during the fourth quarter, the Motion & Flow Control segment recognized $0.5 of severance and employee benefit costs related to actions announced during the first quarter and the Electronic Components segment recognized $0.2 of outplacement related to actions announced earlier in 2003. During the third quarter of 2003 the Company announced actions to reduce operating costs primarily through the reduction of headcount. The new $2.6 restructuring charge primarily reflects the planned severance of 72 employees. The actions by segment are as follows: - - The Electronic Components segment recorded $1.2 of the charge for the planned termination of 40 employees, including 15 factory workers and 25 office workers. The segment also recorded a $0.1 charge F-17 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) associated with the disposal of machinery and equipment. - - The Fluid Technology segment recognized a $0.5 charge for the planned severance of 13 factory workers and 14 office workers. Lease and other costs represent $0.4 of the charge. - - The Motion & Flow Control segment recorded a $0.4 charge for the planned severance of one management employee and four factory workers. In addition to the new restructuring actions announced during the third quarter, the Motion & Flow Control segment recognized $0.2 of severance and employee benefit costs related to actions announced during the first quarter. During the second quarter of 2003 the Company continued its program to reduce structural costs and increase profitability. New restructuring actions totaling $4.7 were announced during the period. The charge primarily reflected the planned severance of 148 employees and the cancellation of an operating lease. The actions by segment are as follows: - - The Electronic Components segment comprises $2.7 of the charge and the actions taken at this segment include the planned termination of six management employees, 19 factory workers and 71 office workers. - - The Motion & Flow Control segment recognized $1.0 for the planned severance of 50 employees, including six management employees, 31 factory workers and 13 office workers. Lease termination fees of $0.7 and asset disposal costs of $0.1 were also reflected in the charge. - - At Corporate Headquarters, a charge of $0.2 was recorded for the planned termination of one management employee and one office worker. In addition to the new restructuring actions announced during the second quarter, the Motion & Flow Control segment recognized $1.2 of severance and employee benefit costs related to actions announced during the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2003 the Company recorded a $9.0 restructuring charge primarily for the planned severance of 465 persons. Severance of $8.3 represents the majority of the charge. The actions by segment are as follows: - - The Electronic Components segment recorded $6.8 of the charge for the planned termination of 226 persons, comprised of 101 office workers, 116 factory workers and nine management employees. Idle facility costs of $0.3 and asset disposal costs of $0.4 were also reflected in the charge. The actions were prompted by management's projections of continued weakness in certain businesses. - - Corporate Headquarters recorded $1.1 of the charge for the consolidation of administrative tasks, including the planned termination of two management employees. - - The Motion & Flow Control segment recorded $0.4 of the charge for the planned termination of 237 employees, comprised of 21 office workers and 216 factory workers. The charge relates to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Arkansas. The actions will be completed during 2003 and 2004 and the total estimated charge of approximately $2.6 will be recognized ratably over the restructuring period as the terminations become effective. Management deemed the restructuring actions necessary to address the anticipated loss of certain platforms during the second half of 2003. Also during 2003, the Company recorded a $1.4 asset impairment charge primarily for a technology license that will not be utilized based on management's projections of future market conditions. The applicable assets were written down to their fair values based on management's comparison of projected future discounted cash flows generated by each asset to the applicable asset's carrying value. These impairments were unrelated to the Company's restructuring activities. F-18 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2002 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 2002 are detailed in the following table: <Table> <Caption> CASH RESTRUCTURING ------------- Electronic Components......................... $0.6 Fluid Technology.............................. 6.0 Motion & Flow Control......................... 3.0 ---- Total 2002 charges............................ $9.6 ==== </Table> During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $9.6 restructuring charge primarily for the closure of two facilities and the planned severance of 292 persons. Severance of $8.5 represents a majority of the charge and lease payments and other costs represent the remainder. The actions primarily occurred in the Fluid Technology and the Motion & Flow Control segments. The actions within the Fluid Technology segment represent a reduction of its cost structure that management deemed necessary in response to continued weakness within certain of the segment's markets. Planned measures include the closure of the Fairfield, NJ facility and the termination of 147 persons, comprised of 78 office workers, 65 factory workers and four management employees. The restructuring plan within the Motion & Flow Control segment was driven by the anticipated loss of certain platforms in the automotive fluid handling systems business during 2003 and the resulting excess capacity. Planned actions include the closure of the Rochester, NY facility, the consolidation of manufacturing and administrative processes, and the termination of 140 employees, comprised of 40 office workers, 97 factory workers and three management employees. The actions within the Electronic Components segment represent cost control actions and include the termination of five employees, comprised of three office workers and two management employees. 2001 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Restructuring and asset impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2001 are detailed in the following table: <Table> <Caption> CASH NON-CASH ASSET RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING IMPAIRMENTS TOTAL ------------- ------------- ----------- ----- Electronic Components.......... $37.0 $18.2 $14.4 $69.6 Fluid Technology..... 13.1 2.9 -- 16.0 Motion & Flow Control............. 7.3 0.8 -- 8.1 Corporate and Other............... 3.6 0.4 -- 4.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total 2001 charges... $61.0 $22.3 $14.4 $97.7 ===== ===== ===== ===== </Table> On December 14, 2001, the Company announced a restructuring program to reduce structural costs and improve profitability. The program primarily impacted the Electronic Components segment where a significant decline in sales volume occurred from 2000 to 2001 and where management expected a further sales decline in 2002. The restructuring actions at the other locations primarily related to process improvements. The planned restructuring activities involved the closure of five facilities, the discontinuance of 21 products and the termination of approximately 3,400 persons. In the Electronic Components segment, the planned actions included the closure of two facilities, the discontinuance of 21 older products, and workforce terminations of 2,753 persons through the consolidation and outsourcing of functions. Activities in the Fluid Technology segment consisted of the closure of one facility, and workforce reductions of 436 persons through the consolidation and outsourcing of functions. In the Motion & Flow Control segment, planned actions included the closure of two facilities and workforce reductions of 183 through the consolidation of functions. In addition, 28 Corporate and shared services positions were to be eliminated. Also in the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded asset impairments amounting to $14.4 for machinery and equipment and a cost based investment. These assets were written down to their fair values based on management's projections of the individual future cash flows to be generated by each of the assets. These assets were reviewed F-19 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2001, because at that time business events indicated that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recovered. Management deemed the market decline experienced in 2001 for certain products to be other than temporary and recognized that there exists significant pricing pressure in the Electronic Components segment that is expected to continue. The cash portion of the restructuring charge included approximately $52 for severance and $9 of other, primarily for facility carrying costs to be incurred after the operations cease at the facilities. The non-cash portion of the restructuring charge represents asset impairments that were recorded based on management's projection of the cash flows to be generated by the assets until operations cease. F-20 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The following table displays a rollforward of the cash restructuring accruals: <Table> <Caption> DEFENSE MOTION CORPORATE FLUID ELECTRONICS & FLOW ELECTRONIC AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES CONTROL COMPONENTS OTHER TOTAL - ----------------------- ---------- ----------- ------- ---------- --------- ------ Balance December 31, 2000......... $ 2.5 $ 1.9 $ 0.3 $ 12.8 $ 1.0 $ 18.5 Payments and other related to prior charges...................

The reversals applicable to 2001 planned restructuring actions totaled $11.8 and primarily reflect less than anticipated severance costs on completed actions at each of the segments, the decision not to transfer five product lines (from Santa Ana, California; Weinstadt, Germany; Dole, France, and Basingstoke, UK, to Shenzhen and Tianjin, China), as supply chain issues eliminated the financial viability of the transfers, and the decision to continue partial operations at one of the Electronic Components' facilities. In addition, management determined that one facility within the Fluid Technology segment would remain operational as a suitable outsource supplier could not be identified. The remaining $1.3 of restructuring reversals represents accruals under earlier restructuring plans that management determined will not be incurred. At December 31, 2002, the accrual balance for restructuring activities was $16.3. Cash payments of $25.0 and additional cash charges of $33.0 were recorded in 2003. Also, management reviewed the Company's remaining restructuring actions and determined that certain 2003, 2002 and 2001 actions at the Electronic Components segment totaling $4.4 would be completed for less than planned or deemed no longer feasible. Additionally, actions at the Motion & Flow Control segment were completed for $0.1 less than planned. Accordingly, restructuring accruals totaling $4.5 were reversed into income during 2003. The accrual balance increased by $0.3 due to the effect of foreign currency translation. The accrual balance at December 31, 2003 is $20.1, which includes $17.7 for severance and $2.4 for facility carrying costs and other. During 2003, $0.2 of other non-cash charges were reversed. As of December 31, 2002, remaining actions under restructuring activities announced in 2001 and 2002 were to close three facilities and reduce headcount by 256. During 2003, the Company closed three facilities and reduced headcount by 919 persons related to actions taken on all plans. The Company also F-21 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) experienced employee attrition, leaving a balance of 208 planned reductions (including the 2003 plans). Additionally, one facility related to the first quarter 2003 actions remains to be closed. Actions announced during 2003 will be substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2004. The actions contemplated under the 2001 plan are completed and actions contemplated under the 2002 plan were substantially completed by the close of 2003. Closed facility expenditures related to the 2001 plan will continue to be incurred in 2004. There will also be severance run-off related to the 2001 plan during 2004. Future restructuring expenditures will be funded with cash from operations, supplemented, as required, with commercial paper borrowings. NOTE 5 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In September of 1998, the Company completed the sales of its automotive Electrical Systems business to Valeo SA for approximately $1,700 and its Brake and Chassis unit to Continental AG of Germany for approximately $1,930. These dispositions were treated as discontinued operations. In 1998, the Company received notifications of claims from the buyers of the automotive businesses requesting post-closing adjustments to the purchase prices under the provisions of the sales agreements. In 1999, those claims were submitted to arbitration. In 2001 and early in 2002, both claims were favorably resolved. During the fourth quarter of 2001 the Company reassessed its automotive discontinued operations accruals and determined that it had excess accruals on an after-tax basis of approximately $60. The Company reversed these accruals into the Consolidated Income Statement under income from discontinued operations. The excess was primarily related to favorable foreign tax rulings. At December 31, 2003, the Company had automotive discontinued operations accruals of $186.1 that are primarily related to taxes ($154.2), product recalls ($7.8), environmental obligations ($14.3) and employee benefits ($9.9). In 2003, the Company spent $1.8. The Company expects that it will cash settle $154.2 of tax obligations in 2004 or 2005.

While the amount of federal income taxes, if such earnings are distributed in the future, cannot now be determined, such taxes may be reduced by tax credits and other deductions. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $46.2 of foreign tax credit carryforwards. The credit carryforwards will expire as follows: $0.2 on December 31, 2004, $33.9 on December 31, 2005 and $12.1 on December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2003, a valuation allowance of approximately $40.7 exists for deferred income tax benefits related to certain U.S. subsidiary loss carryforwards and certain foreign tax credits that may not be realized. During 2003, the valuation allowance increased by $15.2. Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2003 and 2002 reflects tax benefits related to the stock options exercised in 2003 and 2002 of approximately $18.1 and $40.2, respectively. The IRS is currently examining the federal consolidated tax returns of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1998 through December 31, 2000. The IRS has completed its examination of all years through 1997. As of December 31, 2003, the Company believes the accrual for income taxes payable is sufficient to cover potential liabilities arising from these examinations.

SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001. As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, and that they no longer be amortized. The provisions of the standard also require the completion of a transitional impairment test in the year of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a transitional and initial goodwill impairment test at its 12 identified reporting units and determined that no impairment exists. Both tests were conducted in the first quarter of 2002. The Company also conducted its annual impairment test in the first quarter of 2003 (as of the beginning of the year) and determined that no impairment exists. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill associated with acquisitions consummated after June 30, 2001 is not amortized and the amortization of goodwill from business combinations consummated before June 30, 2001 ceased on January 1, 2002. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization is reflected on the face of the Consolidated Income Statements included herein. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 by operating segment are as follows: <Table> <Caption> DEFENSE MOTION FLUID ELECTRONICS & FLOW ELECTRONIC CORPORATE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES CONTROL COMPONENTS AND OTHER TOTAL - ----------------------- ---------- ----------- ------- ---------- --------- -------- Balance as of December 31, 2002......................... $769.9 $303.7 $176.1 $295.8 $5.0 $1,550.5 Goodwill acquired during the period....................... 5.4 -- 1.1 24.0 -- 30.5 Other, including foreign currency translation......... 34.1 -- 4.4 9.6 -- 48.1 ------ ------ ------ ------ ---- -------- Balance as of December 31, 2003......................... $809.4 $303.7 $181.6 $329.4 $5.0 $1,629.1 ====== ====== ====== ====== ==== ======== </Table> F-25 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years is approximately $3 per year. NOTE 14 OTHER ASSETS At December 31, 2003 and 2002, other assets primarily consist of prepaid pension expense, employee benefit plan costs, investments in unconsolidated companies, assets held in trusts and other receivables. Assets held in trusts are restricted for specified reasons, primarily environmental remediation costs and employee benefits and totaled $29.4 and $44.6 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Investments in unconsolidated companies consist of the following: <Table> <Caption> December 31, -------------- 2003 2002 ----- ----- Investments accounted for under the equity method: Motion & Flow Control 50% ownership of HiSAN joint venture............ $ 9.0 $ 9.3 Fluid Technology 40% ownership in Sam McCoy, Malaysia............... 3.2 3.0 Fluid Technology other investments....................... 3.1 2.9 Investments accounted for under the cost method: Defense Electronics & Services investment in DigitalGlobe Inc. securities........................ -- 43.5 Defense Electronics & Services investment in Mesh Networks....... 11.4 8.9 Other............................... 1.1 2.9 ----- ----- $27.8 $70.5 ===== ===== </Table> During 2003 the Company sold substantially all of its interest in DigitalGlobe Inc., a developmental stage company that recently launched a satellite capable of collecting high-resolution digital imagery, for $43.5. The Company recorded sales to unconsolidated affiliates during 2003, 2002 and 2001 totaling $21.0, $24.2 and $22.6, respectively. In addition, the Company provided services to unconsolidated affiliate companies in 2003, 2002 and 2001 and received $0.5, $0.5 and $0.4, respectively, in exchange for these services. For all investments in unconsolidated companies, the Company's exposure is limited to the amount of the investment. All investments accounted for under the cost method represent voting right interests of less than 20%. The HiSAN joint venture is a brake and fuel line supplier to Asian transplant OEM's in the United States. Annual sales of HiSAN are approximately $133. NOTE 15 LEASES AND RENTALS The Company leases certain offices, manufacturing buildings, land, machinery, automobiles, aircraft, computers and other equipment. Such leases expire at various dates and may include renewals and escalations. The Company often pays maintenance, insurance and tax expense related to leased assets. Rental expenses under operating leases were $66.7, $60.2 and $50.1 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Future minimum operating lease payments under long-term operating leases as of December 31, 2003 are shown below. <Table> 2004................................ $ 72.2 2005................................ 60.8 2006................................ 50.4 2007................................ 39.1 2008................................ 32.9 2009 and thereafter................. 179.2 ------ Total minimum lease payments........ $434.6 ====== </Table> F-26 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC.

Principal payments required on long-term debt for the next five years are: <Table> <Caption> 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 - ---- ---- ---- ---- ----- $2.9... $4.6 $4.0 $2.6 $14.4 ==== ==== ==== ==== ===== </Table> The weighted average interest rate for short-term borrowings was 1.53% and 1.73% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of the Company's short-term loans approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on comparable corporate debt with similar remaining maturities. As of December 31, 2003, the fair value of long-term debt was $484.0, compared to the fair value of $517.9 at December 31, 2002. The year-over-year decrease in fair value primarily reflects the impact of the decrease in long-term debt levels and an upward shift in the yield curve experienced during 2003. In November 2000, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement, which expires in November 2005, with 20 domestic and foreign banks providing aggregate commitments of $1.0 billion. The interest rate for borrowings under these agreements is generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a spread, which reflects the Company's debt rating. The provisions of these agreements require that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 3.75 times. At December 31, 2003, the Company's coverage ratio was well in excess of the minimum requirement. The commitment fee on the revolving credit agreement is .125% of the total commitment, based on the Company's current debt ratings. The revolving credit agreement serves as backup for the commercial paper program and is not otherwise restricted. Assets pledged to secure indebtedness amounted to $36.1 as of December 31, 2003. NOTE 17 CASH FLOW INFORMATION The change in receivables, inventories, payables and accrued expenses listed on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 consist of the following: <Table> <Caption> TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 2002 2001 - ------------------- ------ ------- ------ Change in accounts receivable............... $(61.3) $ 3.7 $ 69.1 Change in inventories...... 31.0 (3.5) (2.4) Change in accounts payable and accrued expenses..... 28.4 34.0 (135.2) ------ ------- ------ Change in receivables, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses................. $ (1.9) $ 34.2 $(68.5) ====== ======= ====== </Table> F-27 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 18 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and/or swaps, and on a limited basis, commodity collar contracts, as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate, foreign currency and commodity price risks. The Company's credit risk associated with these derivative contracts is generally limited to the unrealized gain on those contracts with a positive fair market value, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements, should any counterparty fail to perform as contracted. The counterparties to the Company's derivative contracts consist of a number of major, international financial institutions. The Company continually monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and does not expect non-performance by any counterparty. FINANCING STRATEGIES AND INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT: The Company maintains a multi-currency debt portfolio to fund its operations. The Company at times uses interest rate swaps to manage the Company's debt portfolio, the related financing costs and interest rate structure. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had interest rate swaps outstanding with notional values totaling $336.8 and $349.4, respectively. The carrying value of the swaps at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $81.6 and $97.0, respectively, including $4.0 of accrued interest in each period. The swaps were designed to manage the interest rate exposure associated with certain long-term debt. The swaps mature at various dates through 2025 and effectively convert much of the long-term debt, mentioned in Note 16 above, from fixed to variable rate borrowings. The variable interest rates are based on three-month LIBOR rates plus a spread, which reflects the Company's debt rating, and the coupon of the underlying long-term obligations. The weighted average variable and fixed interest rates were 1.22% and 7.40% at December 31, 2003. There were no ineffective portions of the interest rate swaps and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT: The Company has significant foreign operations and conducts business in various foreign currencies. The Company may periodically hedge net investments in currencies other than its own functional currency and non-functional currency cash flows and obligations, including intercompany financings. Changes in the spot rate of debt instruments designated as hedges of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment component of shareholders' equity. The Company regularly monitors its foreign currency exposures and ensures that hedge contract amounts do not exceed the amounts of the underlying exposures. There were no foreign currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. There were no changes in the forecasted transactions during 2003 or 2002 regarding their probability of occurring, which would require amounts to be reclassified to earnings. There were no ineffective portions of changes in fair values of cash flow hedge positions reported in earnings for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and no amounts were excluded from the measure of effectiveness reported in earnings during these periods. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $81.1 and $109.1, respectively, to hedge the value of recognized assets, liabilities and firm commitments. The fair values of the contracts were $0.2 and $0.6 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The ineffective portion of changes in fair values of such hedge positions reported in operating income during 2003, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $(0.3), $(0.1) and $0.6, respectively. There were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness. F-28 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The fair values associated with the foreign currency contracts have been valued using the net position of the contracts and the applicable spot rates and forward rates as of the reporting date. NOTE 19 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLANS: The Company sponsors numerous defined benefit pension plans. The Company funds employee pension benefits, except in some countries outside the U.S. where funding is not required. In addition to Company sponsored pension plans, certain employees of the Company participate in multi-employer pension plans sponsored by local or national unions. The Company's contribution to such plans amounted to $0.7, $0.4 and $0.4 for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS: The Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retired employees. The Company has pre-funded a portion of the health care and life insurance obligations, where such pre-funding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis. INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLANS: The Company sponsors numerous defined contribution savings plans, which allow employees to contribute a portion of their pretax and/or after-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines. Several of the plans require the Company to match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. Matching contributions charged to income amounted to $27.2, $25.3 and $23.9 for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Changes in the benefit obligations, changes in plan assets, the weighted-average assumptions and the components of net periodic benefit cost for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001 were as follows: <Table> <Caption> PENSION OTHER BENEFITS ---------------------- ------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------- --------- ------- ------- CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION Benefit obligation at beginning of year................... $4,058.7 $ 3,617.0 $ 588.1 $ 496.6 Service cost.............................................. 73.3 61.9 6.7 4.9 Interest cost............................................. 256.5 251.2 38.7 37.7 Amendments made during the year/other..................... 7.4 4.0 -- -- Actuarial (gain) loss..................................... 139.0 332.6 55.1 90.3 Benefits paid.............................................

CASH FLOWS: ESTIMATED FUTURE BENEFIT PAYMENTS The following benefit payments covering domestic pension and other benefit plans have been projected based on benefits earned to date and the expectation that certain future service will be earned by currently active employees: <Table> <Caption> PENSION OTHER BENEFITS BENEFITS -------- -------- 2004.............................. $ 236.4 $45.5 2005.............................. 240.1 47.9 2006.............................. 244.6 50.1 2007.............................. 249.6 52.0 2008.............................. 255.3 53.8 2009 - 2013....................... 1,372.9 293.2 </Table> The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the health care trend rate) was 9.0% for 2003. The rate was assumed to be 8.0% for 2004, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in 2007. Increasing the table of health care trend rates by one percent per year would have the effect of increasing the benefit obligation by $38.3 and the aggregate service and interest cost components by $2.8. A decrease of one percent in the trend rate would reduce the benefit obligation by $33.5 and the aggregate service and interest cost components by $2.4. To the extent that actual experience differs from the inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future service of the covered active employees. The determination of the assumptions shown in the table above and the discussion of health care trend rates is based on the provisions of the applicable Financial Accounting Standards, the review of various indexes, discussion with our consulting actuaries and the review of competitive surveys in the geographic areas where the plans are sited. Changes in these assumptions would affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) that provides several options for Medicare eligible participants and employers, including a federal subsidy to companies that elect to provide a retiree prescription drug benefit which is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Act provides for a two year transitional period to allow for, among other items, the possibility that companies may amend existing plans. There are significant uncertainties regarding the eventual regulations required to implement the Act as well as the Act's overall effect on plan participant's coverage choices and the related impact on their health care costs. As such, the effects of the Act are not reflected in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2003, or in the 2003 net periodic postretirement benefit cost. ITT is currently evaluating the provisions of the Act and its potential impact to our postretirement medical plans which we believe will ultimately reduce our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and other postretirement benefit costs.

This plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The number of shares initially available for awards under this plan was 6,100,000. As of December 31, 2003, 6,055,811 shares were available for future grants. During 2003, the Company awarded 9,489 restricted shares with five-year restriction periods in payment of the annual retainer for non-employee directors. The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan replaces the 2002 ITT Industries Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the ITT Industries 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the 1994 ITT Industries Incentive Stock Plan on a prospective basis. All awards granted under these prior plans will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with their original terms; however, no future grants will be made from these prior plans. The 1994 incentive stock plan provides for awarding restricted stock subject to a restriction period in which the stock cannot be sold, exchanged or pledged. There were no restricted shares awarded in 2003, 10,000 restricted shares awarded in 2002 and no restricted shares awarded in 2001 under this plan. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, pursuant to the ITT Industries 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the Company awarded zero, 6,098 and 7,469 restricted shares with five-year restriction periods, respectively, in payment of the annual retainer for such directors. Restrictions may lapse earlier depending on certain circumstances. F-33 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 21 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Accruals have been established where the outcome of the matter is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future. ENVIRONMENTAL: The Company has accrued for environmental remediation costs associated with identified sites consistent with the policy set forth in Note 1, "Accounting Policies." In management's opinion, the total amount accrued and related receivables are appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company's share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in clean-up standards. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In the ordinary course of business, and similar to other industrial companies, the Company is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company has received notice that it is considered a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at a limited number of sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and/or a similar state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA" or "Superfund") or its state equivalent. As of December 31, 2003, the Company is responsible, or is alleged to be responsible, for 104 environmental investigation and remediation sites in various countries. In many of these proceedings, the Company's liability is considered de minimis. At December 31, 2003, the Company calculated a best estimate of $108.0, which approximates its accrual, related to the cleanup of soil and ground water. The low range estimate for its environmental liabilities is $80.0 and the high range estimate for those liabilities is $171.0. On an annual basis the Company spends between $8.0 and $11.0 on its environmental remediation liabilities. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. The Company is involved in an environmental proceeding in Glendale, California relating to the San Fernando Valley aquifer. The Company is one of numerous PRPs who are alleged by the EPA to have contributed to the contamination of the aquifer. In January 1999, the EPA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, United States v. ITT Industries, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corp. CV99-00552 SVW AIJX, to recover costs it incurred in connection with the foregoing. In May 1999, the EPA and the PRPs, including the Company and Lockheed Martin, reached a settlement, embodied in a consent decree, requiring the PRPs to perform additional remedial activities. Pursuant to the settlement, the PRPs, including the Company, have constructed and are operating a water treatment system. The operation of the water F-34 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) treatment system is expected to continue until 2013. ITT and the other PRPs continue to pay their respective allocated costs of the operation of the water treatment system and the Company does not anticipate a default by any of the PRPs which would increase its allocated share of the liability. As of December 31, 2003, the Company's accrual for this liability was $10.9 representing its best estimate; its low estimate for the liability is $7.4 and its high estimate is $16.4. ITT Corporation operated a facility in Madison County, Florida from 1968 until 1991. In 1995, elevated levels of contaminants were detected at the site. Since then, ITT has completed the investigation of the site in coordination with state and federal environmental authorities and is in the process of evaluating various remedies. A remedy for the site has not yet been selected. Currently, the estimated range for the remediation is between $5.9 and $20.0 with a best estimate of $10.5. The Company has accrued $10.5 for this matter, which approximates its best estimate. The Company is involved with a number of PRPs regarding property in the City of Bronson, Michigan operated by a former subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Higbie Manufacturing, prior to the time ITT acquired Higbie. The Company and other PRPs are investigating and remediating discharges of industrial waste which occurred in the 1930's. The Company's current estimates for its exposure are between $3.9 and $13.2. It has an accrual for this matter of $9.8 which represents its best estimate of its current liabilities. The Company does not anticipate a default on the part of the other PRPs. In a suit filed in 1991 by the Company, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al., against its insurers, the Company is seeking recovery of costs it incurred in connection with its environmental liabilities including the three listed above. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. Currently, the matter is before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims of the Company. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. A hearing is expected in 2004. In the event the appeal is successful, the Company will pursue the administrative claims against its excess insurers. During the course of the litigation the Company has negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and is prepared to pursue its legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive. A portion of the recoveries from the insurance settlements have been placed in a trust and are used to reimburse the Company for its environmental costs. PRODUCT LIABILITY: The Company and its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. ("Goulds") have been joined as defendants with numerous other industrial companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These actions against the Company have been managed by our historic product liability insurance carriers. These claims stem primarily from products sold prior to 1985 that contained a part manufactured by a third party, e.g., a gasket, which allegedly contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers' products that may have contained asbestos. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During 2003, ITT and Goulds resolved approximately 2,000 claims through settlement or dismissal. The average amount of settlement per plaintiff has been nominal and substantially all defense and settlement costs have been covered by insurance. Based upon past claims experience, available insurance coverage, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company is involved in two actions, Cannon Electric, Inc. et al. v. Ace Property & F-35 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Casualty Company et al. Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, CA., Case No. BC 290354, and Pacific Employers Insurance Company et al., v. ITT Industries, Inc., et al., Supreme Court, County of New York, N.Y., Case No. 03600463. The parties in both cases are seeking an appropriate allocation of responsibility for the Company's historic asbestos liability exposure among its insurers. The California action is filed in the same venue where the Company's environmental insurance recovery litigation has been pending since 1991. Both actions have been stayed to allow the parties to negotiate an acceptable allocation arrangement. In addition, Utica National, Goulds' historic insurer, has requested that the Company negotiate a coverage in place agreement to allocate the Goulds asbestos liabilities between insurance policies issued by Utica and those issued by others. The parties are currently negotiating the terms of such an agreement. The Company is continuing to receive the benefit of insurance payments during the pendency of these proceedings. The Company believes that these actions will not materially affect the availability of its insurance coverage and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is one of several defendants in a suit filed in El Paso, Texas Bund zur Unterstutzung Radargeschadigter et al. v. ITT Industries et al., Sup. Ct., El Paso, Texas, C.A. No. 2002-4730. This Complaint, filed by both U.S. and German citizens, alleges that ITT and four other major companies failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers associated with exposure to x-ray radiation from radar devices. The Complaint also seeks the certification of a class of similarly injured persons. The Company's aviation insurers are contributing to the defense of this matter. Management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has received notice of a product liability suit filed in Superior Court of New York, Danis v. Rule Industries et al., Sup. Ct. N.Y., C.A. No. 115975-02, seeking damages for injuries sustained in a boat explosion. The suit contains a number of causes of action against various defendants including the boat manufacturer, the marina operator, and individuals working at the marina. As to the Company, the Complaint alleges that a fume detector, manufactured by ITT's subsidiary Rule Industries, Inc. prior to the date the Company acquired Rule, malfunctioned. The Company's insurer is on notice of this matter. Management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has received demands from U.S. Silica for partial indemnity regarding personal injury actions alleging injury due to silica. In 1985, the Company sold the stock of its subsidiary Pennsylvania Glass Sand to U.S. Silica. As part of that transaction, the Company provided an indemnity to U.S. Silica for silica personal injury suits. That indemnity expires in September 2005. Costs incurred in these matters related to the defense, settlements or judicial awards are allocated between U.S. Silica and the Company. The Company's allocated portion is paid in part by its historic product liability carriers and then shared pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. See "Company History and Certain Relationships" within Part 1, Item 1 of this Annual Report for a description of the Distribution Agreement. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. OTHER: The Company has received a Notice of Claim from Rayonier, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company's predecessor ITT Corporation. This claim stems from the 1994 Distribution Agreement for the spinoff of Rayonier by ITT Corporation and seeks an allocation of proceeds from certain settlements in connection with the Company's environmental insurance recovery litigation. The parties are seeking a resolution of this matter through arbitration. The Company believes the claim is grossly overstated and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. F-36 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 22 GUARANTEES, INDEMNITIES AND WARRANTIES GUARANTEES & INDEMNITIES: In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its automotive electrical systems business to Valeo SA for approximately $1,700. As part of the sale, the Company provided Valeo SA with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of the Business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Valeo SA for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Valeo SA may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Valeo SA on an undiscounted basis is $680. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at December 31, 2003 the Company has an accrual of $7.8 which is its best estimate of the potential exposure. In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its brake and chassis unit to Continental AG for approximately $1,930. As part of the sale, the Company provided Continental AG with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of that Business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Continental AG for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Continental AG may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Continental AG on an undiscounted basis is $950. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at December 31, 2003 the Company has an accrual of $14.3 which is its best estimate of the potential exposure. Since its incorporation in 1920, the Company has acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. The Company has separately discussed material indemnities provided within the last eight years. The Company provided three guarantees with respect to its real estate development activities in Flagler County, Florida. Two of these guarantee bonds were issued by the Dunes Community Development District (the District). The bond issuances were used primarily for the construction of infrastructure, such as water and sewage utilities and a bridge. The Company would be required to perform under these guarantees if the District failed to provide interest payments or principal payments due to the bond holders. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments on these guarantees equal $28.9. At December 31, 2003, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable for these guarantees and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements. The third guaranty is a performance bond in the amount of $10.0 in favor of Flagler County, Florida. The Company would be required to perform under this guarantee if certain parties did not satisfy all aspects of the development order, the most significant aspect being the expansion of a bridge. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments on the third guarantee equals $10.0. At December 31, 2003, the Company has an accrual related to the expansion of a bridge in the amount of $10.0. F-37 ITT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) In December of 2002, the Company entered into a sales-type lease agreement for its corporate aircraft and then leased the aircraft back under an operating lease agreement. The Company has provided, under the agreement, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $44.8, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. The Company would have to make payments under the residual value guarantee only if the fair value of the aircraft was less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. At December 31, 2003, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements. PRODUCT WARRANTIES: Accruals for estimated expenses related to warranties are made at the time products are sold or services are rendered. These accruals are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. The Company warrants numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, the Company warrants its products against defect and specific non- performance. In the automotive businesses, liability for product defects could extend beyond the selling price of the product and could be significant if the defect shuts down production or results in a recall. At December 31, 2003, the Company has a product warranty accrual in the amount of $34.5.
