1. | Financial Statements | ||
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2004. The September 30, 2004 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is derived from the audited financial statements, adjusted for discontinued operations (See Note 3). The results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the Companys 2005 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. | |||
2. | Inventories | ||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for most inventories at domestic locations. The cost of other inventories is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventories were comprised of the following: |

3. | Discontinued Operations | ||
On January 10, 2005, the Company announced that it intends to sell its engine electronics business to Valeo for approximately 330 million, or approximately $437 million. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This non-core business, which was a part of the Sagem SA automotive electronics business that was acquired in fiscal 2002, is reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the income statement components of the discontinued operations will be aggregated and presented on a single line in the Consolidated Statement of Income through the date of sale. |

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2004 includes assets of discontinued operations of $426.4 million, consisting of goodwill ($157.2 million), accounts receivable ($100.0 million), property, plant and equipment net ($60.7 million), other intangible assets net ($59.5 million) and other miscellaneous assets ($49.0 million). Liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 2004 totaled $119.8 million, consisting of accounts payable ($89.6 million), accrued compensation ($23.6 million) and other miscellaneous liabilities ($6.6 million). | |||
4. | Product Warranties | ||
The Company provides warranties to certain of its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. Most of the Companys product warranties are customer specific. A typical warranty program requires replacement of defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. While warranty costs have historically been within calculated estimates, it is possible that future warranty costs could exceed those estimates. The Companys product warranty liability is included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. |

5. | Stock-Based Compensation Stock Options | ||
Effective October 1, 2002, the Company voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FAS 123. In accordance with SFAS No. 148, the Company has adopted the fair value recognition provisions on a prospective basis and, accordingly, the expense recognized in the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 represents a pro rata portion of the fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 grants which are earned over a three-year vesting period. | |||

During December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. Stock-based payments include stock option grants and certain transactions |
9
under other Company stock plans. The Company grants options to purchase common stock to some of its employees and directors under various plans at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options were granted. SFAS 123R is effective for all interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. | |||
6. | Guarantees | ||
The Company has guaranteed the residual value related to the Company aircraft accounted for as synthetic leases. The guarantees extend through the lease maturity dates of September 2006. In the event the Company exercised its option not to purchase the aircraft for the remaining obligations at the scheduled maturity of the leases, the Company has guaranteed the majority of the residual values, not to exceed $53 million in aggregate. The Company has recorded a liability of approximately $3 million within Other noncurrent liabilities and a corresponding amount within Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position relating to the Companys obligation under the guarantees. These amounts are being amortized over the life of the guarantees. | |||

The higher foreign currency translation adjustments (CTA) for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to the approximate 8% increase in the euro compared to an approximate 7% increase in the euro for the same period a year ago. | |||
The Company has foreign currency-denominated debt obligations and cross-currency interest rate swaps which are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses, net of tax, attributable to these hedges are deferred as CTA within the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account. A net loss of approximately $41 million and $38 million was recorded for the three-month periods ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. | |||
10. | Segment Information (Restated) | ||
In response to comments raised by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is revising its segment disclosure. Revising the segment disclosure also requires the Company to update additional information that is disclosed based on the Companys reportable segments in other notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, primarily Note 8 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In addition, Note 11 Income Taxes, Note 14 Research and Development and Note 15 Contingencies, were added or amended to address additional comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. | |||
The Company operates in three primary businesses, the Controls Group, the Seating & Interiors Group, and the Battery Group. The Controls Group provides facility systems and services including comfort, energy and security management for the non-residential buildings market. The Seating & Interiors Group designs and manufactures interior systems and products for passenger cars and light trucks, including vans, pick-up trucks and sport/crossover vehicles. The Battery Group designs and manufactures automotive batteries for the replacement and original equipment markets. |
12
SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, (SFAS 131) establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in SFAS 131, the Company has determined that it operates in six operating segments, two within the Battery Group are aggregated under the accounting standard to arrive at the Companys five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. | |||
Managements evaluation of the performance of the Companys reportable segments excludes discontinued operations, significant restructuring costs and other significant non-recurring gains or losses. Financial information relating to the Companys reportable segments were as follows: |

11. | Income Taxes | ||
The Companys estimated effective tax rate for continuing operations declined to 26.1% from 28.8% for the prior year due to continuing global tax planning initiatives. The Company utilized an effective rate for discontinued operations of 35.4% both periods, which approximates the local statutory rate. The current quarter rate for continuing operations further benefited from an $11.5 million one time tax benefit related to a change in tax status of a French subsidiary during the quarter while the prior year first quarter benefited from a $17.0 million favorable tax settlement related to prior periods (1991-1996). The change in tax status resulted from a voluntary tax election that produced a deemed liquidation of the French subsidiary for US federal income tax purposes. The US shareholder received a tax benefit for the loss from the decrease in value from the original tax basis of this investment. This election changed the tax status of the French entitity from a controlled foreign corporation (i.e. taxable entity) to a branch (i.e. flow through entity similar to a partnership) for US federal income tax purposes and is thereby |

reported as a discrete period tax benefit in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. | |||
The Companys Federal income tax returns and certain foreign income tax returns for fiscal years 1997-2001 are currently under various stages of audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and respective foreign tax authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, management believes that its annual tax provisions include amounts sufficient to pay assessments, if any, which may be proposed by the taxing authorities. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the IRS may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. | |||
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (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 controlled foreign operations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. As such, we are not yet in a position to decide on whether, and to what extent, we might repatriate foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S. Based on our analysis to date, however, it is reasonably possible that we may repatriate some amount between $0 and $560 million, which represents the Companys cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries subject to the Act. The respective tax liability ranges from $0 to $60 million. We expect to be in a position to finalize our assessment by September 2005. | |||
12. | Restructuring Costs | ||
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company executed a restructuring plan (2004 Plan) involving cost structure improvement actions and recorded an $82.4 million restructuring charge included in Selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statement of Income. These charges primarily relate to workforce reductions of approximately 1,500 employees in the Seating & Interiors and Battery Groups and 470 employees in the Controls Group. In addition, the 2004 Plan called for four plants within the Seating & Interiors Group to be consolidated. Through December 31, 2004, substantially all impacted employees from the Controls Group and approximately 1,170 employees from the Seating & Interiors and Battery Groups have been separated from the Company. Employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee and on a lump sum basis when required in accordance with individual severance agreements. A significant portion of the Seating & Interiors and Battery Group actions were concentrated in Europe as the Company focuses on significantly improving profitability in the region. The Controls Group restructuring actions involved activities in both North America and Europe. No further costs related to these specific actions are anticipated. The majority of the restructuring activities are expected to be completed during the current fiscal year. |
