PART I. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 5.
Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements (unaudited) for
The Timken Company (the company) have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 2004 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Note 2 -- Stock-Based Compensation
The company utilizes the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
The company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
in accounting for its stock options to key associates and directors. Under APB
Opinion No. 25, if the exercise price of the company's stock options equals
the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is required.
The effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is as follows:

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on manage-
ment's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because
these are subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results
are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Refer to Note 10 - Equity Investments for a discussion of PEL's debts, which are
included above.
Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization financing agreement
(Asset Securitization), which provides for borrowings up to $125 million subject
to certain borrowing base limitations, are secured by certain trade receivables.
Under the terms of the Asset Securitization, the company sells, on an ongoing
basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a
wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, that in turn uses the trade receivables to
secure the borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial
paper in the short-term market. As of September 30, 2005, there was $78.5 million
outstanding under this facility, which reduced the availability to
$46.5 million. This balance is reflected on the company's consolidated
condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 in short-term debt. The yield on
the commercial paper, which is the commercial paper rate plus program fees, is
considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense on the
consolidated statements of income.
The lines of credit of the company's European subsidiaries provide for
borrowings up to $132.4 million. At September 30, 2005, the company had
outstanding borrowings of $76.5 million, which reduced the availability
under these facilities to $55.9 million.

On June 30, 2005, the company entered into a $500 million Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) that replaced the company's previous credit
agreement dated as of December 31, 2002. The Credit Agreement matures on
June 30, 2010 and provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility. Under
this credit facility, the company has two financial covenants: a consolidated
leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2005,
the company was in compliance with the covenants under this credit facility and
its other debt agreements.
At September 30, 2005, the company had no borrowings and letters of credit totaling
$77.1 million outstanding under the $500 million revolving credit facility,
which reduced the availability under that facility to $422.9 million.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the effective tax rate was 18.2%. The
decrease in the effective tax rate in the quarter was due primarily to the
recognition of additional U.S. tax benefits on export sales for the years
2003 through 2005, and the elimination of a valuation allowance on certain foreign
deferred tax assets because of improved profitability in the affected jurisdiction.
For the first nine months of 2005, the effective tax rate of 31.4% was less than
the U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to beneficial foreign tax rates, tax
holidays and other U.S. tax benefits, including export tax incentives. These
benefits were offset partially by losses at certain foreign operations that were not
available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to U.S. state and local
jurisdictions and tax on foreign remittances.
In 2004, the effective tax rate exceeded the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of
losses at certain foreign operations that were not available to reduce overall tax
expense, taxes paid to U.S. state and local jurisdictions and tax on foreign
remittances. These unfavorable items were offset partially by beneficial foreign tax
rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax benefits.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2005 decreased from the same
period in 2004 due primarily to increased benefits from export tax incentives in the
U.S., improved performance in certain foreign subsidiaries that reduced the amount of
foreign losses without tax benefit and increased income in jurisdictions with lower
foreign tax rates.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(the Act). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to
repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends
received deduction for certain dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The deduction
is subject to a number of limitations and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued
guidance related to the domestic reinvestment plans on January 13, 2005 and May 10,
2005. However, uncertainty remains on other provisions of the Act. As of
September 30, 2005, the company estimates that it may repatriate approximately up
to an additional $120 million, which could result in an estimated tax liability
of $8 million.

During the third quarter of 2005, the company announced a global
restructuring within its automotive segment to reduce fixed costs.
This restructuring is expected to take approximately two years to
complete. As a part of this announcement, the company will close its
plant in Clinton, South Carolina, with production being phased out during
the next two years. In addition, the company is restructuring its
automotive powertrain engineering resources, which includes creating a new
worldwide powertrain engineering center of expertise at Clemson University's
International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) in Greenville, South
Carolina. These announced restructuring efforts, along with other
future actions are targeted to deliver annual pretax savings of
approximately $40 million, with expected net workforce reductions of
approximately 400 to 500 positions and pretax restructuring costs of
$80 to $90 million. During the third quarter, the company recorded
approximately $21.6 million of severance and related benefit costs and
$2.8 million of exit costs. This included $7.8 million related to curtailment
of pension and postretirement benefit plans.
In May 2004, the company announced a plan to begin closing its three bearing
plants in Canton, Ohio within its industrial segment. In June 2004, the
company and the United Steelworkers of America (union) began the effects
bargaining process. In July 2004, the company and the union agreed to enter
into early formal negotiations over the labor contract that expired
on September 25, 2005 and covered approximately 2,700 associates at the
company's steel and bearing plants in the Canton, Ohio area. On
September 15, 2005, the company reached a new four-year agreement with the
union, which went into effect on September 26, 2005 when the prior contract
expired. As a result of the contract settlement, the company has refined
its plans to rationalize the Canton bearing operations. This initiative
is expected to deliver annual pretax savings of approximately
$25 million through streamlining operations and workforce reductions, with
costs of approximately $35 to $40 million over the next four years. As of
September 30, 2005 the company had not recorded any restructuring charges
related to the Canton bearing plants.

Note 9 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)
Amortization expense for intangible assets was approximately $2.5 million and
$7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively,
and is estimated to be approximately $8.5 million annually for the next five
fiscal years.
Note 10 - Equity Investments
The balances related to investments accounted for under the equity method are
reported in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, which
were approximately $26.7 million and $29.8 million at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively.
Equity investments are reviewed for impairment when circumstances (such as lower
than expected financial performance or change in strategic direction) indicate
that the net book value of the investment may not be recoverable. If an
impairment does exist, the equity investment is written down to its fair value
with a corresponding charge to the statement of income.
During 2000, the company's Steel Group invested in a joint venture, PEL
Technologies (PEL), to commercialize a proprietary technology that converts iron
units into engineered iron oxides for use in pigments, coatings and abrasives.
The company concluded that PEL is a variable interest entity and that the
company is the primary beneficiary. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No.
46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51," (FIN 46), the company consolidated PEL
effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 resulted in a charge,
representing the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, of
$0.9 million, which is reported in other expense on the consolidated statement
of income. Also, the adoption of FIN 46 increased the consolidated condensed
balance sheet as follows: current assets by $1.7 million; property, plant and
equipment by $11.3 million; short-term debt by $11.6 million; accounts payable
and other liabilities by $0.6 million; and other non-current liabilities by
$1.7 million. All of PEL's assets are pledged as collateral for its obligations.
Except for PEL's indebtedness for which the company is a guarantor, PEL's
creditors have no recourse to the general credit of the company. The company is
the guarantor of certain debt for PEL. During 2003, the company recorded the
aggregate amount outstanding at that time on the debt underlying these
guarantees. The amount outstanding at September 30, 2005 of PEL's debt guaranteed
by the company is $23.0 million, which is reported as short-term debt on the
consolidated condensed balance sheet.
Note 11 - Subsequent Events
On October 6, 2005, the company acquired Bearing Inspection, Inc., which
provides bearing inspection and reconditioning services to the aerospace
industry for approximately $40 million. The financial results of the
acquisition, which the company expects to be accretive, will be included in the
company's 2005 consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Pro Forma
results of operations will not be presented because the effect of the
acquisition is not expected to be material.

Note 12 - Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans
The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost for the company's
retirement and postretirement benefit plans. The amounts for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005 are based on actuarial calculations prepared
during 2005. Consistent with prior years, these calculations will be updated
later in the year. These updated calculations may result in different net
periodic benefit cost for 2005. The net periodic benefit cost recorded for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 is the company's best estimate of
each period's proportionate share of the amounts to be recorded for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
OVERVIEW
- --------
Introduction:
The Timken Company is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered
antifriction bearings and alloy steels and a provider of related products and
services. Timken operates under three segments: Industrial Group, Automotive
Group and Steel Group.
The Industrial and Automotive Groups design, manufacture and distribute a range
of bearings and related products and services. Industrial Group customers
include both original equipment manufacturers and distributors for agriculture,
construction, mining, energy, mill, machine tooling, aerospace, and rail
applications. The Industrial Group also includes aftermarket distribution
operations, including automotive applications, for products other than steel.
Automotive Group customers include original equipment manufacturers of passenger
cars, light trucks, and medium- to heavy-duty trucks and their suppliers.
Steel Group products include steels of intermediate alloy, low alloy and carbon
grades in both solid and tubular sections, as well as custom-made steel
products, for both industrial and automotive applications, including bearings.
Financial Overview:
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Timken Company reported net
sales of approximately $1.3 billion, an increase of approximately 15 percent
from the third quarter of 2004. Sales were higher across all three business
segments. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, earnings per diluted
share were $0.43, compared to $0.19 per diluted share for the third quarter of
2004.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net sales were approximately
$3.9 billion, an increase of approximately 17 percent from the same period last
year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, earnings per diluted share
were $1.79, compared to $0.79 for the same period last year.
The company benefited from continued strength in global industrial markets,
leading to improved performance in the Industrial and Steel Groups. The Auto-
motive Group's results were negatively impacted by the impact of currency,
the impact of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by Delphi Corporation and high raw
material costs.
Demand in the Industrial Group's segments continued to be strong with the
largest increases in industrial distribution and rail. Profitability improved
due to increased volume, improved pricing and favorable mix.
The Automotive Group's net sales increased from the same period last year due
to improved pricing and increased demand for heavy truck products. While the
Automotive Group's profitability was positively impacted by improved volume and
pricing, it was more than offset by the impact of currency, the impact of
Delphi's Chapter 11 filing and high raw material costs.
The Steel Group benefited from strong performance in both its alloy steel and
specialty steel businesses. The increase in the Steel Group's net sales over
18.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
last year reflected strong demand from industrial customers as well as price
increases and surcharges. The strongest market sectors were industrial, aero-
space and energy. The Steel Group's improved profitability reflects increased
volume, price increases, surcharges to recover high raw material costs,
improved mix and continued high labor productivity.

sales increased from the same period last year due to improved pricing and
increased demand for heavy truck products. The increase in the Steel Group's
net sales over last year was primarily due to price increases, surcharges to
recover high raw material costs and volume. The strongest market sectors for

Gross profit benefited from price increases and surcharges, favorable sales

higher raw material costs, although the company recovered a significant portion
through price increases and surcharges.
In 2005, manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges
related to the start of the rationalization of the company's Canton, Ohio
bearing facilities and integration/reorganization costs for certain facilities
acquired as part of the Torrington acquisition in February 2003. In 2004, manu-
facturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges related primarily
to expenses associated with the integration of Torrington.

charges included in selling,

The increase in selling, administrative and general expenses in 2005, compared
to last year was due primarily to higher accruals for performance-based compen-
sation and costs for growth initiatives, partially offset by lower manufacturing
rationalization/integration/reorganization charges. The decrease between year-
to-date periods in the percentage of selling, administrative and general
expenses to net sales was primarily the result of the company's ability to
leverage expenses on higher sales.
In 2005, the manufacturing rationalization/integration/reorganization charges
primarily related to the rationalization of the company's Canton, Ohio bearing
facilities. In 2004, the manufacturing rationalization/integration/
reorganization charges related primarily to expenses associated with the
integration of Torrington, primarily for information technology and purchasing
initiatives.

During the third quarter of 2005, the company announced a global restructuring
within its automotive segment to reduce fixed costs. This restructuring is
expected to take approximately two years to complete. As a part of this
announcement, the company will close its plant in Clinton, South Carolina,
with production being phased out during the next two years. In addition, the
company is restructuring its automotive powertrain engineering resources, which
includes creating a new worldwide powertrain engineering center of expertise at
Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) in
Greenville, South Carolina. These announced restructuring efforts, along with
other future actions are targeted to deliver annual pretax savings of
21.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
approximately $40 million, with expected net workforce reductions of
approximately 400 to 500 positions and pretax restructuring costs of
$80 to $90 million. During the third quarter, the company recorded
approximately $21.7 million of severance and related benefit costs and
$2.8 million of exit costs related to the announcement. This included
$7.8 million related to curtailment of pension and postretirement benefit
plans.
In 2004, restructuring charges related primarily to severance and related
benefit costs for associates who exited the company as a result of the
integration of Torrington.
In May 2004, the company announced a plan to begin closing its three bearing
plants in Canton, Ohio within its industrial segment. In June 2004, the company
and the United Steelworkers of America (union) began the effects bargaining
process. In July 2004, the company and the union agreed to enter into early
formal negotiations over the labor contract that expired on
September 25, 2005 and covered approximately 2,700 associates at the company's
steel and bearing plants in the Canton, Ohio area. On September 15, 2005, the
company reached a new four-year agreement with the union, which went into effect
September 26, 2005 when the prior contract expired. As a result of the contract
settlement, the company has refined its plans to rationalize the Canton bearing
operations. This initiative is expected to deliver annual pretax savings of
approximately $25 million through streamlining operations and workforce
reductions, with costs of approximately $35 to $40 million over the next four
years. As of September 30, 2005 the company had not recorded any restructuring
charges related to the Canton bearing plants.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005, other expense included losses on
the disposal of assets, losses from equity investments, donations, minority
interests, and foreign currency exchange gains. For the three months ended
September 30, 2004, other expense included losses on the disposal of assets and
foreign currency exchange gains. The decrease in other expense for the three
months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004, was due
primarily to a gain on the sale of non-strategic assets in 2005 and foreign
currency gains in 2005 offset by increased losses from equity investments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, other expense included losses on
the disposal of assets, losses from equity investments, donations, minority
interests and foreign currency exchange losses. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, other expense included losses from equity investments,
losses on the disposal of assets and foreign currency exchange losses. Other
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 also included the adoption
of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51" (FIN 46). The decrease in other expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004 was due
primarily to lower losses from equity investments in 2005, a gain on the sale of
non-strategic assets in 2005, lower foreign currency exchange losses in 2005,
lower losses on the disposals of assets in 2005 and the adoption of FIN 46 in
2004, partially offset by higher donations in 2005.
U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) receipts are reported net
of applicable expenses. CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by
U.S. Customs from antidumping cases to qualifying domestic producers where the
domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and
people. The $7.7 million received in the first quarter of 2004 related to
Torrington's bearing business. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement under
which the company purchased Torrington, Timken delivered to the seller of the
Torrington business 80% of the CDSOA payments received in 2004 for Torrington's
bearing business. Timken is under no further obligation to transfer any CDSOA
payments to the seller of the Torrington business. In September 2002, the
World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that such payments are inconsistent with
international trade rules. The U.S. Trade Representative appealed this ruling,
but the WTO upheld the ruling on January 16, 2003. Although CDSOA continues to
be in effect in the United States at this time, there is proposed legislation
that could impact the company's ability to receive CDSOA payments in 2005 and
beyond. The company cannot predict whether it will receive any payments under
CDSOA in 2005 or, if so, in what amount. If the company does receive payments
under CDSOA in 2005, they will likely be received in the fourth quarter.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the effective tax rate was less than
the U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to the recognition of additional U.S.
tax benefits on export sales for the years 2003 through 2005 and the elimination
of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets because of
improved profitability in the affected jurisdiction.
For the first nine months of 2005, the effective tax rate was less than the
U.S. statutory tax rate due primarily to beneficial foreign tax rates, tax
holidays and other U.S. tax benefits, including export tax incentives. These
benefits were offset partially by losses at certain foreign operations that were
not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to U.S. state and local
jurisdictions and tax on foreign remittances.
For the first nine months of 2004, the effective tax rate exceeded the U.S.
statutory tax rate as a result of losses at certain foreign operations that were
not available to reduce overall tax expense, taxes paid to U.S. state and local
jurisdictions and tax on foreign remittances. These unfavorable items were offset
partially by beneficial foreign tax rates, tax holidays and other U.S. tax
benefits.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2005 decreased from the same
period in 2004 due primarily to increased benefits from export tax incentives in the
U.S., improved performance in certain foreign subsidiaries that reduced the amount of
foreign losses without tax benefit and increased income in jurisdictions with lower
foreign tax rates.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(the "Act"). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to
repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends
received deduction for certain dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The
deduction is subject to a number of limitations and the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) issued guidance related to the domestic reinvestment plans on January 13,
2005 and May 10, 2005. However, uncertainty remains on other provisions of the
Act. As of September 30, 2005, the company estimates that it may repatriate up
to an additional $120 million, which could result in an estimated tax liability
of approximately $8 million.
Business Segments:
The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of
each Group is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes, excluding the
effect of amounts related to certain items that management considers not
representative of ongoing operations such as impairment and restructuring, manu-
facturing rationalization/integration/reorganization costs, allocated receipts
received under the CDSOA and gain on the sale of non-strategic assets). Refer
to Note 8 - Segment Information in the notes to the consolidated condensed
financial statements for the reconciliation of adjusted EBIT by Group to
consolidated income before income taxes.

Sales by the Industrial Group include global sales of bearings and other
products and services (other than steel) to a diverse customer base, including:
industrial equipment; construction and agriculture; rail; and aerospace and
defense customers. The Industrial Group also includes aftermarket distribution
operations, including automotive applications, for products other than steel.
The Industrial Group's net sales increased due to stronger demand in end
markets, with the largest increases in industrial distribution and rail.
Profitability improved due to increased volume, improved pricing and favorable
mix. The Industrial Group continues to focus on improving capacity utilization,
product availability and customer service in response to strong industrial
demand. During the quarter, operations were expanded in Wuxi, China to serve
industrial customers with spherical bearings. The capacity at two large-bore
bearings operations located in Ploiesti, Romania and Asheboro, North
Carolina has been increased. The company expects the Industrial Group to
benefit from continued strength in global industrial markets.

more than offset by the impact of currency, Delphi's Chapter 11 filing and high
raw material costs. The Automotive Group continues to make progress in its
ability to recover higher raw material costs through price increases. During
the third quarter, the Automotive Group announced restructuring plans, including
closing of facilities, workforce reductions and combining and relocating
engineering resources. The restructuring initiative is targeted to deliver
annual savings of approximately $40 million, with restructuring costs of approx-
imately $80 to $90 million over two years. The Automotive Group's adjusted EBIT
will exclude these restructuring costs as it is not representative of ongoing
operations. The company expects to see improvement in the Automotive Group,
despite the challenging environment in the North American automotive industry.

The Steel Group's products include steels of intermediate alloy, low alloy and
carbon grades in both solid and tubular sections, as well as custom-made steel
products, for both industrial and automotive applications, including bearings.
The increase in the Steel Group's net sales over last year was due to price
increases, surcharges to recover high raw material costs and volume. The
strongest market sectors for the Steel Group were industrial, aerospace and
energy. The Steel Group's improved profitability reflects price increases and
surcharges to recover high raw material costs, improved volume and mix, as well
as, continued high labor productivity. The Steel Group's profitability for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 was negatively impacted by approximately
$7.2 million as a result of the unplanned shutdown of the Faircrest steel plant
that occurred in the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2004, the
company incurred clean-up costs of $2.5 million, which were more than offset by
a reimbursement of $3.0 million received from the company's insurer. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Steel Group's results benefited from
raw material surcharges in excess of costs. For the remainder of 2005, the
company expects the Steel Group to benefit from continued strength in global
industrial markets. The company expects profitability for the Steel Group in
the fourth quarter to decline due to seasonality. Operating rates should return
to historically high levels in the first quarter of 2006 as the industrial
market continues to show broad-based strength.
THE BALANCE SHEET
- -----------------
Total assets as shown on the consolidated condensed balance sheet at
September 30, 2005 increased by $193.8 million from December 31, 2004. This
increase was due primarily to increased accounts receivable and inventory
to support higher sales.

The increase in short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt was due
primarily to the reclassification of long-term debt to current, which will
mature within the next twelve months, and additional borrowings, mainly under
the company's asset securitization facility, as a result of seasonal working
capital requirements and cash contributions to its U.S.-based pension plans.
The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities was due primarily to an
increase in trade accounts payable resulting from increased volume. The
increase in accrued expenses was due primarily to a reclassification from the
long-term portion of accrued pension cost to the current portion based upon the
company's estimate of contributions to its pension plans in the next twelve
months and an increase in income taxes payable due to current year income tax
expense.

The increase in common stock was due primarily to stock option exercises by

business were increased by net income and reduced by dividends declared. The
increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was due primarily to foreign
currency translation and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other

compared to net income of $71.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items of
$163.1 million in the same period of 2004. The non-cash items include
depreciation and amortization expense, gain or loss on disposals of assets,
deferred income tax provision and amortization of restricted share awards. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating
activities was negatively impacted by accounts receivable and inventory for
increased sales volume, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Accounts receivable was a use of cash of $110.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, compared to a use of cash of $121.3 million in the
same period of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, inventory
was a use of cash of $162.1 million, compared to a use of cash of $91.7 million
in the same period of 2004. Excluding cash contributions to the company's U.S.-
based pension plans, accounts payable and accrued expenses was a source of cash
of $204.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to a
source of cash of $135.0 million in the same period of 2004. The company made
cash contributions to its U.S.-based pension plans in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 of $125.0 million, compared to $185.0 million in the same
period of 2004.
The increase in net cash used by investing activities was due primarily to
higher capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
compared to the same period of 2004, partially offset by the net cash proceeds
from the sale of the Industrial Group's Linear Motion Systems business.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to lower
net borrowings on credit facilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
compared to the same period of 2004.

was 34.5% at September 30, 2005, compared to 36.5% at December 31, 2004. The
company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash generated from
operating activities will be met by the availability under the accounts
receivable securitization facility and the revolving credit facility. The
company expects to continue to reduce its debt levels and leverage during the
fourth quarter of 2005. In addition, the company believes it has sufficient
liquidity to meet its obligations in the immediate future.

During the first nine months of 2005, the company did not purchase any shares of
its common stock as authorized under the company's 2000 common stock purchase
plan. This plan authorizes the company to buy in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions up to four million shares of common stock,
which are to be held as treasury shares and used for specified purposes. The
company may exercise this authorization until December 31, 2006. The company
does not expect to be active in repurchasing its shares under this plan in the
near-term.
The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated
entities or other persons.

OTHER INFORMATION
- ------------------
Foreign Currency:
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange
in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the
average rates of exchange prevailing during the quarter. Related translation
adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from trans-
actions are included in the consolidated results of operations.
Foreign currency exchange gains included in the company's operating results for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $1.5 million, compared to
gains of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Foreign
currency exchange gains included in the company's operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $6.2 million, compared to losses of
$1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the three
months ended September 30, 2005, the company recorded a positive non-cash
foreign currency translation adjustment of $14.0 million that increased share-
holders' equity, compared to a positive non-cash foreign currency translation
adjustment of $17.0 million that increased shareholders' equity in the three
months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
the company recorded a negative non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment
of $34.7 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared to a positive
non-cash foreign currency translation adjustment of $3.5 million that increased
shareholders' equity in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The nine
months ended September 30, 2005 were negatively impacted by the effect of
currency exchange rates, primarily the weakening of the Euro, Polish Zloty,
Romanian Leu and South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar, compared to
December 31, 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment
of ARB 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 requires certain inventory costs to be
recognized as current period expenses. SFAS No. 151 also provides guidance for
the allocation of fixed production costs. This standard is effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2005.
Accordingly, the company will adopt this standard in 2006. The company has
determined that SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on its results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." SFAS
No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and amends SFAS No. 95,
"Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach to accounting for share-
based payments in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS
No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
consolidated statement of income based on their fair values. Pro forma
disclosure is no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and
Exchange Commission deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 123R until the
beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2005. Early
adoption is permitted. The company expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
123R effective January 1, 2006.
32.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
SFAS No. 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using either
the "modified prospective" method or "modified retrospective" method. Under the
"modified prospective" method, compensation cost is recognized, beginning with
the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-
based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the require-
ments of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective
date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The "modified
retrospective" method includes the requirements of the "modified prospective"
method, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously
recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either all
periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the "modified prospective" method.
As permitted by SFAS 123, the company currently accounts for share-based
payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25's intrinsic value method and, as
such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options.
Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R's fair value method will have an
impact on the company's results of operations, although it will have no impact
on the company's overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS
No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of
share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the company adopted
SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have
approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro
forma net income and earnings per share in Note 1 to the company's consolidated
financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax
deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a
financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under
current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and
increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the company
cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend
on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of
operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions
were $3.1 million, $1.1 million and $0 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
The company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the periods presented. The company reviews its critical accounting policies
throughout the year. The company has concluded that there have been no changes
to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, during the nine months
ended September 30, 2005.
Subsequent Events:
On October 6, 2005, the company acquired Bearing Inspection, Inc., which
provides bearing inspection and reconditioning services to the aerospace
industry for approximately $40 million. The financial results of the
acquisition, which the company expects to be accretive, will be included in the
company's 2005 consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Pro Forma
results of operations will not be presented because the effect of the
acquisition is not expected to be material.
Other:
On November 8, 2005, the company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on December 2, 2005 to shareholders of
record as of November 18, 2005. This will be the 334th consecutive dividend
paid on the common stock of the company.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
The company continues to evaluate the competitiveness of its operations and may
from time to time determine to close those operations that are not competitive.
The company may incur charges associated with the closure of such operations in
future periods that may be material.
Certain statements set forth in this document (including the company's
forecasts, beliefs and expectations) that are not historical in nature are
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the statements related to
expected savings and costs of the company's initiatives and expectations
concerning the company's financial performance are forward looking. The
company cautions readers that actual results may differ materially from those
projected or implied in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
company due to a variety of important factors, such as:
a) changes in world economic conditions, including additional adverse effects
from terrorism or hostilities. This includes, but is not limited to,
political risks associated with the potential instability of governments and
legal systems in countries in which the company or its customers conduct
business and significant changes in currency valuations.
b) the effects of fluctuations in customer demand on sales, product mix and
prices in the industries in which the company operates. This includes the
ability of the company to respond to the changes in the industrial
market, the effects of customer strikes, the impact of changes in
industrial and automotive business cycles and whether conditions of fair
trade continue in the U.S. market.
c) the effects of adverse changes in the financial health of customers,
including the ability of the company to limit its exposure to customers
experiencing financial difficulty.
d) competitive factors, including changes in market penetration, increasing
price competition by existing or new foreign and domestic competitors, the
introduction of new products by existing and new competitors and new
technology that may impact the way the company's products are sold or
distributed.
34.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
e) changes in operating costs. This includes: the effect of changes in the
company's manufacturing processes; changes in costs associated with varying
levels of operations; higher cost and availability of raw materials and
energy; the company's ability to mitigate the impact of higher material
costs through surcharges and/or price increases; changes resulting from
inventory management and cost reduction initiatives and different levels of
customer demands; the effects of unplanned work stoppages; and changes in
the cost of labor and benefits.
f) the success of the company's operating plans, including its ability to
achieve the benefits from its manufacturing and administrative cost
reduction initiatives as well as its ongoing continuous improvement and
rationalization programs; and the ability of acquired companies to achieve
satisfactory operating results.
g) the company's ability to maintain appropriate relations and successfully
negotiate with unions that represent company associates in certain locations
in order to avoid disruptions of business.
h) the success of the company's plans concerning the rationalization of the
company's Canton bearing operations, including the possibility that the
rationalization or the transfer of production will not achieve the desired
results and the possibility of disruption in the supply of bearings during
the process.
i) the success of the company's plans concerning the implementation of its
Automotive Group rationaliztion activities.
j) unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments. This includes, but is not
limited to, claims or problems related to intellectual property, product
liability or warranty and environmental issues.
k) changes in worldwide financial markets, including interest rates, to the
extent they affect the company's ability to raise capital or increase the
company's cost of funds, have an impact on the overall performance of the
company's pension fund investments and/or cause changes in the economy
which affect customer demand.
Additional risks relating to the company's business, the industries in which the
company operates or the company's common stock may be described from time to
time in the company's filings with the SEC. All of these risk factors are
difficult to predict, are subject to material uncertainties that may affect
actual results and may be beyond the company's control.
Except as required by the federal securities laws, the company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Refer to information appearing under the caption "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" on pages 17-34 of this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, a
discussion of market risk exposures is included in Part II,
Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk," of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004. There have been no material changes in reported
market risk since the inclusion of this discussion in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K referenced above.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the company's management, including the company's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined by in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that the company's
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of
the period covered by this report. During the company's most recent
fiscal quarter there have been no changes in the company's
internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
36.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The company is normally involved in various claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
The company is currently in discussions with the State of Ohio
concerning a violation of Ohio air pollution control laws which was
discovered by the company and voluntarily disclosed to the State of
Ohio approximately eight years ago. Although no final settlement has
been reached, the company believes that the final settlement will not
be material to the company or have a material adverse effect on the
company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
