TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of PresentationThe unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter "we," the "Company" or "Tyco").
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2004, which present segment information previously included in Tyco International Ltd.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2003 to reflect the reclassification of information regarding the transfer of a business division from one segment to another and to present the results of the Tyco Global Network business held for sale within Corporate and Other segment data.
The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have not been audited by independent auditors in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. All references in this Form 10-Q to "$" are to U.S. dollars.
Revenue RecognitionIn providing services under certain contracts, Infrastructure Services (a business unit within the Engineered Products and Services segment) incurs sub-contract and other costs that are paid by Infrastructure Services and re-billed to their customers. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not included in reported revenue and cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. Effective January 1, 2004, retroactive to October 1, 2003, the Company began reflecting these sub-contract costs in both revenue and cost of revenue for Infrastructure Services, resulting in incremental revenue and cost of revenue of $168.8 million and $347.8 million for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004, respectively. The Company has not adjusted revenue or cost of revenue for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2003 because such change was not material. Further, such adjustment would have no impact on previously reported operating income, net income or cash flow.
Employee Share Option PlansTyco measures compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using the intrinsic value based method and accordingly does not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the time of grant. Had the fair value based method been adopted by Tyco, the effect

on net income and earnings per common share for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been as follows ($ in millions):

Accounting PronouncementsIn November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," regarding the issue of disclosures for marketable equity securities and debt securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The EITF requires additional quantitative disclosure related to unrealized losses, specifically presentation of the aging of such losses. It also requires additional qualitative disclosures to help users understand why the quantitative disclosures are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The adoption of these disclosure requirements is effective for companies with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R further explains how to identity variable interest entities ("VIE") and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of VIE in its financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004. As a result, the joint ventures that were previously consolidated under FIN 46 were deconsolidated effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," to improve financial statement disclosure for defined benefit plans. This statement requires additional disclosures about the assets (including plan assets by
5
category), obligations and cash flows of defined pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans in our annual report. It also requires reporting of various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis. Generally, the disclosures required are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003; however, information about foreign plans are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Tyco adopted the revised SFAS No. 132 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. See Note 11 for disclosure on retirement plans. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not have any impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21; the other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
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 occur 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.
2. Consolidated Segment Data
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our Precision Interconnect business was transferred from the Healthcare segment to the Electronics segment. In addition, the results of the Tyco Global Network ("TGN") business held for sale are presented within Corporate and Other. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect these changes.

5. Other Expense, Net
During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized a $75.6 million loss on various equity investments when it became evident that the declines in the fair value of the investments were other than temporary, primarily due to the continuing depressed economic conditions specifically within the telecommunications industry. In addition, during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized other expense of $8.5 million in connection with a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee. These amounts were partially offset by other income from the early retirement of debt of $22.7 million and $24.1 million for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2003, respectively.

Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio; minimum levels of net worth; and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are presently considered restrictive to our operations.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Except as disclosed elsewhere in this document, our contractual obligations, contingencies and commitments for minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases have not changed materially from September 30, 2003.
The Company has obligations under an off-balance sheet leasing arrangement for five cable laying sea vessels. Upon expiration of this lease in fiscal 2007, a subsidiary of the Company has the option to buy these vessels for approximately $280 million, or return the vessels to the lessor and, under a residual guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds to the lessor from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million. As of March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003, $17.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively, has been accrued for this obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of the vessels resulting from a third-party valuation.
At March 31, 2004, the Company had a contingent liability of $80 million related to the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by the Electronics segment. The $80 million is the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. The $80 million was not accrued at March 31, 2004, as the outcome of this contingency cannot be reasonably determined.
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions.
15
In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision.
Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), subsidiaries of Tyco, are parties to a consolidated patent infringement action against Masimo Corporation ("Masimo"), et al., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in which Nellcor alleges that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in this action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement. The trial court may, in its discretion,
16
treble the damages awarded to Masimo by the jury for willful infringement. Nellcor will challenge the jury's decisions in post-trial motions, and, if necessary, will appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, the Company intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.
Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, subsidiaries of Tyco, are defendants in a separate lawsuit brought by Masimo also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2004. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that we will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.
U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In February 2003, the court held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial on damages for the earlier infringement ruling is currently scheduled for July 13, 2004. Based on the parties respective positions, damages could range from approximately $23 million to $69 million, with the possibility of enhanced damages up to treble damages if there is a finding of willful infringement. We currently do not expect, however, to incur losses beyond what we have already accrued.
On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.
The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
As new internal controls and procedures are implemented, any reported allegations or violations of our guide to ethical conduct are investigated and appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures are taken. An allegation was brought to our attention that during the period from 1999 through 2003
17
certain improper payments were made by a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco with fiscal 2003 revenue of $24 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into these allegations and whether certain payments were correctly recorded in the books and records of the subsidiary. We have taken remedial steps and have reported the results of our investigation to the Department of Justice and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiry. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of March 31, 2004, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $455 million. As of March 31, 2004, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately $271 million, of which $49 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $222 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and accruals for environmental matters of $271 million, the Company has concluded that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare segment and our Engineered Products and Services segment. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.
Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. Our vigorous defense of these lawsuits has resulted in judgments in our favor in all cases tried to verdict. We have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.
When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of March 31, 2004, there were approximately 13,500 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.
We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

15. Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions.
21
Management does not believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 10 for a discussion of these liabilities.
Due to the Company's exiting of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, the Company has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, the Company would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. The Company believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
The Company generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., consumable products) up to 20 years (e.g., power system batteries). The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage.
Following is a roll forward of the Company's warranty accrual for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004 ($ in millions).

Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
Information for all periods presented below reflects the grouping of Tyco's businesses into five segments, consisting of Fire and Security, Electronics, Healthcare, Engineered Products and Services, and Plastics and Adhesives.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our Precision Interconnect business was transferred from the Healthcare segment to the Electronics segment. In addition, the results of the Tyco Global Network ("TGN") business held for sale are presented within Corporate and Other. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect these changes.
Overview
Net revenue increased 11.7% during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $10,041.2 million from $8,988.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Tyco had income from continuing operations of $782.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, up from $124.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included net charges totaling $137.7 million, consisting of losses and impairment on divestitures totaling $85.4 million, net restructuring and other charges of $36.3 million, of which a charge of $0.5 million is included in cost of sales, and charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $16.0 million. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 included net charges totaling $557.2 million, consisting of charges recorded for changes in estimates of $388.7 million resulting from the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews, a charge of $91.5 million for a retroactive, incremental premium on prior period directors and officers insurance, and a charge of $77.0 million related to the impairment of intangible assets.
Net revenue increased 11.2% during the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $19,920.9 million from $17,915.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2003. Tyco had income from continuing operations of $1,501.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004, up from $690.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2003. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 included net charges totaling $166.2 million, consisting of losses and impairment on divestitures totaling $85.4 million, net restructuring and other charges of $41.7 million, of which a charge of $0.6 million is included in cost of sales, and charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $39.1 million. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2003 included net charges totaling $553.7 million, consisting of charges recorded for changes in estimates of $388.7 million resulting from the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews, a charge of $91.5 million for a retroactive, incremental premium on prior period directors and officers insurance, charge of $77.0 million related to the impairment of intangible assets, and restructuring credits of $3.5 million.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, net revenue increased at each segment, except Plastics and Adhesives. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $1,251.6 million as compared to $635.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in operating income and margins at Fire and Security, Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services, in the aggregate, exceeded the decrease in operating income and margins in our Plastics and Adhesives and Electronics segments, resulting in an overall increase in operating income. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was an increase in net revenue of $571.8 million, primarily in the Fire and Security and Electronics segments and, to a lesser extent, in the Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services segments. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on operating income during the quarter was an increase of $88.9 million, primarily in the Electronics and Healthcare segments.
For the six months ended March 31, 2004, net revenue increased at each segment, except Plastics and Adhesives. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 was $2,489.2 million as compared to $1,685.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003. Operating income and margins increased at each segment, except Plastics and Adhesives. Foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 contributed to an increase in net revenue of $1,153.8 million, primarily in the Fire and Security and Electronics segments and, to a lesser extent, in the Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services segments. Foreign currency exchange rates during the six months contributed to an increase in operating income of $138.1 million, primarily in the Electronics and Healthcare segments partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other.
We expect net revenue and operating income to continue to increase during the next quarter primarily as a result of our continued focus on increasing growth in Tyco's existing businesses, the timing of backlog executions, and cost-cutting initiatives implemented in prior periods.
32
Additionally, Tyco is continuing to pursue the divestiture of some non-core businesses. As part of this divestiture program, Tyco intends to sell the TGN, its undersea fiber optic telecommunications network, which was written down to its net realizable value during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The remaining businesses being considered for sale had combined annualized revenue of approximately $2.0 billion in fiscal 2003, which represents about 6% of the Company's annual net revenue. Measured on the basis of revenue, more than half of the businesses are in the Fire and Security segment. We expect our assessment of potential divestitures to accelerate during the remainder of fiscal 2004 and based on such assessments, as well as development in potential transactions, we may be required to take future charges with respect to these businesses considered for disposition.
During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004, we made progress with respect to the comprehensive cost reduction program that began in fiscal 2003. Restructuring activities during the quarter and six months are discussed within the segment data below. While the program is still in the early stages of execution, we expect increased activity during the remainder of fiscal 2004.

Net revenue for the Fire and Security segment increased 7.9% in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003, consisting of a 9.8% increase in product revenue and a 6.3% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($198.4 million).
Operating income and margins significantly increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in the prior year due to charges of $351.9 million which were recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The $351.9 million includes net charges of $274.9 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed last fiscal year and a $77.0 million charge primarily related to the impairment of intangible assets in two geographic regions associated with the ADT dealer program.
To a lesser extent, the increase in operating income and margins was due to improvements within worldwide security related primarily to the combined impact of a stronger retailer market environment and continued cost reductions. Also contributing to the increase was an increase at Continental Europe Security as a result of continued cost savings initiatives and a changing business model whereby customers are of a higher credit rating and improved manufacturing efficiencies at Tyco Safety Products. The manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions partly reflect the benefits of the restructuring activities described below. These increases were partially offset by net restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges totaling $63.4 million, substantially all of which is associated with
33
the comprehensive cost reduction measures that began during fiscal 2003. In addition, operating income at Worldwide Fire Services decreased due to lower volume and increased product liability insurance costs as compared to the prior year quarter.
Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business increased slightly to an average of 15.9% on a trailing twelve-month basis as of March 31, 2004, as compared to 15.7% as of December 31, 2003.

Net revenue for the Electronics segment increased 12.1% in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net revenue was primarily a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($176.3 million) and growth in our existing businesses within all markets except for the telecommunication service providers and commercial construction markets, which continued to experience softness in demand.
Operating income and margins decreased over the prior year period due to net restructuring and divestiture costs totaling $34.9 million. These charges consist of $43.6 million related to losses and impairment on divestitures, offset by $8.7 million of net credits for changes in estimates of severance, facility-related charges, and distributor and supplier cancellation fees recorded in prior periods. Operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 includes a net credit of $30.3 million, consisting of net restructuring and other credits of $59.1 million, of which $12.9 million has been included in cost of sales, due to completion of restructuring actions for less than originally anticipated. Offsetting these credits are charges totaling $28.8 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by the increase in revenue discussed above.

Net revenue for the Healthcare segment increased 8.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net revenue resulted primarily from favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($96.9 million) and growth in our existing businesses. Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was primarily within the Medical Devices and Supplies and the Pharmaceuticals business units due to higher volume. The increase at Medical Devices and Supplies was largely driven by higher sales volume within the Medical division resulting primarily from new SharpSafety product launches and gain in market share within the wound care market. Also contributing to the increase at Medical Devices and Supplies was higher sales at our International division, particularly in Europe, and to a lesser extent, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America.
The 13.0% increase in operating income and the 0.9 percentage point increase in margins in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were due primarily to the increased sales discussed above, favorable manufacturing variances and improved product mix. Operating income and margins for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 include net restructuring and impairment charges of $1.6 million. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 included a net charge of $7.8 million, consisting primarily of charges of $11.7 million related to asset reserves for inventory and restructuring credits of $4.6 million. These charges were recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year.

Net revenue for the Engineered Products and Services segment increased $355.5 million or 32.6% in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003, of which $168.8 million or 15.5% represents the impact of certain sub-contract and other costs that are paid by Infrastructure Services and re-billed to their customers. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not included in reported revenue and cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. Effective January 1, 2004, retroactive to October 1, 2003, the Company began reflecting these sub-contract costs in both revenue and cost of revenue for Infrastructure Services. The Company has not adjusted revenue or cost of revenue for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2003 because such change was not material. Further, such adjustment would have no impact on previously reported operating income, net income or cash flow. In addition, $9.4 million of the increase in revenue relates to revenue which resulted from the consolidation under FIN 46 of several joint ventures in Infrastructure Services.
35
The remaining increase in net revenue resulted primarily from favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($91.9 million) and increased demand and higher selling prices as a result of increased raw material costs at Electrical & Metal Products in North America. Also contributing to the increase, although to a lesser extent, were improved levels of activity in North America at Infrastructure Services and sales increases at Fire & Building Products due primarily to a slightly improved commercial construction market and an increase in market share. Revenue for the segment was negatively impacted by continued weak non-residential construction markets at Flow Control in North America and continued low levels of capital spending, specifically from state and local governments and industrial customers.
The increases in operating income and margins in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were due to the increased sales volume and higher selling prices discussed above and the impact of cost reduction programs. These increases were partially offset by restructuring and divestiture charges of $8.2 million included in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The revenue reclassification at Infrastructure Services in the current quarter had no impact on operating income; however, this adjustment lowered operating margins for the current quarter by 1.1 percentage points. Operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 includes charges of $33.1 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews performed in the prior fiscal year.

Net revenue at Tyco Plastics and Adhesives decreased 3.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to higher than normal sales volume of plastic sheeting and duct tape in the prior year quarter due to the heightened level of national security and declines at the hanger business within A&E Products. These decreases were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $8.3 million.
The decreases in operating income and operating margins in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 over the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were primarily due to net restructuring and impairment charges incurred during the current quarter totaling $27.5 million associated with the closure of 18 facilities. Lower sales volume discussed above and margin declines at A&E also contributed to the decreases. Operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 includes a net charge of $5.2 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews performed in the prior fiscal year.
Corporate and Other
Corporate revenue of $6.8 million and $2.4 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, relates to the TGN business, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2003. Corporate expenses were $61.9 million and $209.1 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which include operating losses of $13.6 million and $30.6 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. Corporate expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 also include charges of $105.0 million, consisting of $91.5 million for a retroactive, incremental premium on prior period directors and officers
36
insurance, $19.9 million of charges related to changes in estimates primarily related to a severance accrual for certain terminated corporate employees, and a net restructuring credit of $6.4 million due to costs being less than anticipated, which is also a change in estimate. These changes in estimate were recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed last fiscal year.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was $14.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $21.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Interest expense was $226.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $299.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower debt balances and the favorable impact of interest rate swaps executed to achieve an appropriate balance between fixed and floating rate debt obligations.
Other Expense, Net
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a loss of $75.6 million related to the write-down of various equity investments and $8.5 million of other expense related to a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee. These charges were recorded in connection with the Company's ongoing program of intensified internal audits, and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates and detailed controls and operating reviews, and are considered to be changes in estimates. Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded other income from the early retirement of debt totaling $22.7 million.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $258.2 million on pretax income of $1,045.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to income tax expense of $170.4 million on pretax income of $295.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Our effective income tax rate was 24.7% and 57.6% during the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference in the rate is primarily the result of increased profitability in operations outside of the U.S., a decrease in non-deductible charges and a retroactive adjustment to our non-U.S. tax rate as a result of a favorable ruling.

The increase in net revenue was primarily due to favorable currency exchange rates ($393.0 million).
37
Operating income and margins increased significantly in the six months ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in the prior year due to total charges of $351.9 million which were recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2003. The $351.9 million includes net charges of $274.9 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews performed last fiscal year and a $77.0 million charge primarily related to the impairment of intangible assets in two geographic regions associated with the ADT dealer program. To a lesser extent, the increase in operating income and margins was due to improvements within worldwide security related primarily to the combined impact of a stronger retailer market environment and cost reductions. Also contributing to the increase were improvements within Tyco Safety Products due primarily to improved manufacturing efficiencies and increased sales of breathing systems, access control equipment, and video surveillance to third parties and an increase at Continental Europe Security as a result of cost saving initiatives and a changing business model whereby customers are of a higher credit rating. The manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions partly reflect the benefits of the restructuring activities described below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating income at Worldwide Fire Services, primarily due to lower sales volume and increased product liability insurance costs as compared to the prior year period. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 also includes net restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges totaling $79.7 million, consisting primarily of restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges of $81.8 million, substantially all of which is associated with the comprehensive cost reduction measures that began during fiscal 2003.
Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security business as of March 31, 2004 remained level compared to September 30, 2003 at an average of 15.9% on a trailing twelve-month basis.

The increase in net revenue was primarily a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($364.4 million) and growth in our existing businesses within all markets except for the telecommunication service providers and commercial construction markets, which continued to experience softness in demand.
Operating income increased 12.1% over the prior year, while margins remained level. The increase in operating income is primarily due to the increase in revenue discussed above and cost savings initiatives that were executed in fiscal 2003. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 includes net restructuring and divestiture costs totaling $14.8 million, of which $43.6 million related to charges resulting from divestitures. This charge was offset by $28.8 million of net restructuring credits related to changes in estimates of severance, facility-related charges, and distributor and supplier cancellation fees recorded in prior periods. Operating income in the six months ended March 31, 2003 includes a net credit of $30.3 million, consisting of net restructuring and other credits of $59.1 million,
38
of which $12.9 million has been included in cost of sales, due to completion of restructuring actions for less than originally anticipated. Offsetting these credits are charges of $14.1 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed last fiscal year. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2003 also includes net restructuring credits of $2.5 million.

Net revenue for the Healthcare segment increased 9.7% in the six months ended March 31, 2004 over the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net revenue resulted primarily from growth in our existing businesses and favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($192.2 million). Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was primarily a result of increased revenue within Medical Devices and Supplies, and to a lesser extent, increases at the Pharmaceuticals division due to higher volume. The increase within Medical Devices and Supplies was largely driven by increased sales volume at our International division, particularly in Europe, and to a lesser extent, the Asia Pacific region, Latin America and Japan, as well as at our Medical and Respiratory divisions. Increased sales volume within the Medical division resulted primarily from new SharpSafety product launches and increased market share within the wound care market.
The 16.9% increase in operating income and the 1.6 percentage point increase in margins in the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 were due primarily to the favorable margin impact of the increased sales discussed above, improved product mix and a continued focus on maximizing operating efficiencies. Operating income and margins for the six months ended March 31, 2004 include net restructuring and other charges of $4.5 million. Operating income in the six months ended March 31, 2003 includes a net charge of $7.8 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year. Operating income in the six months ended March 31, 2003 also includes restructuring credits of $1.2 million.

Net revenue for the Engineered Products and Services segment increased $606.3 million or 26.7% in the six months ended March 31, 2004 over the six months ended March 31, 2003, of which $347.9 million or 15.3% represents the impact of certain sub-contract costs and other costs previously treated as "pass through" to customers at Infrastructure Services discussed above. In addition, $18.0 million relates to revenue which resulted from the consolidation under FIN 46 of several joint ventures in Infrastructure Services. The remaining increase in net revenue resulted primarily from favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($188.8 million) and increased demand and higher selling prices as a result of increased raw material costs at Electrical & Metal Products in North America. Also contributing to the increase, although to a lesser extent, were improved levels of activity in North America at Infrastructure Services and sales increases at Fire & Building Products due primarily to a slightly improved commercial construction market and an increase in market share. These revenue increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue at Flow Control resulting primarily from continued weak non-residential construction markets in certain geographic regions, the completion of a large thermal controls project during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, and continued low levels of capital spending, specifically from state and local governments and industrial customers.
Operating income increased in the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003 due to charges of $33.1 million recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to net restructuring and other charges of $9.4 million recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2004. The charges of $33.1 million were recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year. The remaining increase to operating income was due to increased sales. This increase was partially offset by increased pension expense and increased raw material costs in certain product lines. The revenue reclassification at Infrastructure Services discussed above had no impact on operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2004; however, this adjustment lowered operating margins for the six months ended March 31, 2004 by 1.0 percentage point.

Net revenue at Tyco Plastics and Adhesives decreased 1.0% in the six months ended March 31, 2004 over the six months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to sales declines at A&E Products. Sales declines at Adhesives, most notably in Italy, also contributed to the decrease in revenue. These decreases were partially offset by an increase at Plastics primarily within the do-it-yourself, stretch and retail markets and the $15.4 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
The significant decreases in operating income and operating margins in the six months ended March 31, 2004 over the six months ended March 31, 2003 were primarily due to impairment and restructuring charges incurred during the current period totaling $57.9 million associated with the closure of 22 facilities. The decrease in revenue discussed above and margin declines at A&E due to lower volumes and pricing pressure also contributed to the decrease in operating income and margins. These decreases were slightly offset by margin improvements at Plastics, Ludlow Coated Products and North American Adhesives resulting primarily from ongoing productivity efforts. Operating income in the six months ended March 31, 2003 includes a net charge of $5.2 million, recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed in the prior fiscal year.

Corporate and Other
Corporate revenue of $11.5 million and $3.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, relates to the TGN business, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2003. Corporate expenses were $154.6 million and $306.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which include operating losses of $31.4 million and $57.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. Corporate expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2003 include net charges of $105.0 million recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews which were performed last fiscal year. Also included within the $306.3 million are charges of $38.5 million related to internal investigation fees and charges associated with the severance of corporate employees.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was $39.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $47.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2003. Interest expense was $491.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $588.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower debt balances and the favorable impact of interest rate swaps executed to achieve an appropriate balance between fixed and floating rate debt obligations.
Other Expense, Net
During the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a loss of $75.6 million related to the write-down of various equity investments and $8.5 million of other expense related to a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee. These charges were recorded in connection with the Company's ongoing program of intensified internal audits, and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates and detailed controls and operating reviews, and are considered to be changes in estimates. Also, during the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded other income from the early retirement of debt totaling $24.1 million.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $526.1 million on pretax income of $2,036.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to income tax expense of $392.3 million on pretax income of $1,084.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003. Our effective income tax rate was 25.8% and 36.2% during the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference in the rate is primarily the result of increased profitability in operations outside of the U.S., a decrease in non-deductible charges and a retroactive adjustment to our non-U.S. tax rate as a result of a favorable ruling.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.
Long-Lived AssetsManagement periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash
41
flows. We carry long-lived assets at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated.
Tyco generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program (discussed below under "Amortization Method for Customer Contracts").
With respect to the Tyco's depreciation policy for security monitoring systems installed in residential and commercial customer premises, the costs of these systems are combined in separate pools for internally generated residential and commercial account customers, and generally depreciated over ten to fourteen years. Tyco concluded that for residential and commercial account pools the straight-line method of amortization over a ten to fourteen-year period continues to be appropriate given the observed actual attrition data for these pools.
The determination of the depreciable lives of subscriber systems included in property, plant and equipment, and the amortizable lives of customer contracts and related customer relationships included in intangible assets, are primarily based on historical attrition rates, third-party lifing studies and the useful life of the underlying tangible asset. The realizable value and remaining useful lives of these assets could be impacted by changes in customer attrition rates. If the attrition rates were to rise, Tyco might be required to further accelerate the amortization.
GoodwillIn performing our annual goodwill assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Since management's judgment is involved in performing goodwill valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of our goodwill may be overstated or understated.
We elected to make July 1 the annual assessment date for all reporting units. Goodwill valuations have historically been calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. This approach includes many assumptions related to future growth rates, discount factors, future tax rates, etc. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in a goodwill impairment in future periods.
Disruptions to our business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, downgrades in our credit ratings, and market capitalization declines may result in our having to perform a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 first step valuation analysis for all of our reporting units prior to the required annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments in the future.
Amortization Method for Customer ContractsTyco purchases residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under the ADT dealer program. The purchase price of these customer contracts is recorded as an intangible asset (i.e., contracts and related customer relationships).
As discussed above in "Long-Lived Assets," Tyco generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program. Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the month of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of economic benefit which is expected to be obtained from the customer relationship. Tyco believes that the accelerated method that generally best achieves
42
the matching objective described above is the double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for the first eight years of the estimated life of the customer relationships converting to the straight-line method of amortization for the remaining four years of the estimated relationship period. Actual attrition data is regularly reviewed in order to assess the continued applicability of the accelerated method of amortization described above.
Revenue RecognitionContract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems, undersea cable systems and other construction related projects are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon contracted revenue and related estimated cost to completion. The risk of this methodology is its dependence upon estimates of costs to completion, which are subject to the uncertainties inherent in long-term contracts. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. If estimates are inaccurate, there is risk that our revenue and profits for the period may be overstated or understated.
Income TaxesEstimates of full year taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the tax rate calculation, which change throughout the year. Management uses judgment in estimating what the income will be for the year. Since judgment is involved, there is risk that the tax rate may significantly increase or decrease in any period.
In determining income (loss) for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. SFAS No. 109 also requires that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and international pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.
We currently have recorded significant valuation allowances that we intend to maintain until it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent of offsetting decreases in our valuation allowance. The realization of our remaining deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.
In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result.

The net change in working capital, net of the effects of divestitures and acquisitions, was an increase of $300.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004, including cash paid for restructuring and other charges of $118.1 million. The components of this change are set forth in detail in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The significant changes in working capital included a $146.4 million increase in inventories and an $81.8 million increase in accounts receivable.
During the first six months of fiscal 2004, the Company divested nine businesses within the Fire and Security, Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services segments for aggregate proceeds of $113.5 million in cash, of which $15.0 million of the proceeds are currently held in escrow. Total assets and total liabilities of the divested businesses were $170.5 million and $56.6 million, respectively. The total assets include cash retained by businesses sold of $10.9 million. Net revenue and net income of the divested companies through the date of disposition were $36.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and $37.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2003. In connection with these dispositions, the Company recorded
45
losses totaling $4.5 million. In addition, during the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded charges related to certain businesses to be divested aggregating $80.9 million to reflect the amount by which the carrying value of such assets exceeded its estimated fair value.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we paid $33.2 million in cash that was charged against liabilities established in connection with acquisitions. In addition, we paid $38.8 million relating to holdback/earn-out liabilities related to certain prior period acquisitions. Holdback liabilities represent a portion of the purchase price that is withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquisition balance sheet. Certain acquisitions have provisions which require Tyco to make additional "earn-out" payments to the sellers if the acquired company achieves certain milestones subsequent to its acquisition by Tyco. These earn-out payments are tied to certain performance measures, such as revenue, gross margin or earnings growth. Both of these amounts are included in "Cash paid for purchase accounting and holdback/earn-out liabilities" under Cash Flows From Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. At March 31, 2004, there remained $156.8 million in purchase accounting liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $53.2 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $103.6 million is included in other long-term liabilities. In addition, $183.1 million of holdback/earn-out liabilities remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $62.1 million are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $121.0 million are included in other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2004.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we paid $118.1 million in cash relating to liabilities for restructuring and other charges and recorded a net restructuring charge of $41.1 million. At March 31, 2004, there were liabilities of $242.3 million remaining for restructuring and other charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $108.5 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $133.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, we purchased approximately 156,000 customer contracts for electronic security services through our dealers program for cash of $130.6 million.
Capitalization
Shareholders' equity was $28,720.6 million, or $14.33 per share, at March 31, 2004, compared to $26,369.0 million, or $13.20 per share, at September 30, 2003. The increase in shareholders' equity was due primarily to net income of $1,501.6 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $681.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004.
Tangible shareholders' deficit was $3,060.1 million at March 31, 2004, as compared to $5,359.7 million at September 30, 2003. Goodwill and intangible assets were $31,780.7 million at March 31, 2004, compared to $31,728.7 million at September 30, 2003.
At March 31, 2004, total debt was $17,714.4 million, as compared to $20,969.1 million at September 30, 2003. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and shareholders' equity) was 38.1% at March 31, 2004 and 44.3% at September 30, 2003. Our cash balance decreased to $3,103.3 million at March 31, 2004, as compared to $4,186.7 million at September 30, 2003. Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) as a percent of net capitalization (net debt and shareholders' equity) was 33.7% and 38.9% at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively.

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Net debt is total debt (the most comparable GAAP measure) minus cash and cash equivalents. Management believes net debt is an important measure of liquidity which it uses as a tool to measure its ability to meet its future debt obligations. Cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce our debt obligations.
The limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash items and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates and may exclude certain cash items that are not readily available for repaying debt. This limitation is best addressed by using net debt in combination with the total debt figure because the net debt figure may be significantly lower than the GAAP figure. Net debt should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures.
In November 2003, holders of principal amount at maturity of $3,196.7 million of zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 notified Tyco that they had exercised their option to require Tyco to repurchase their debentures at a price of $775.66 per $1,000 principal at maturity representing the accreted value of the debentures on that date. On November 18, 2003, Tyco purchased these debentures for cash of $2,479.6 million.
In November 2003, Tyco International Group S.A. ("TIG") issued $1.0 billion 6% Notes due 2013 in a private placement offering. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. The net proceeds of approximately $987.7 million were used to repay a portion of the $2.0 billion outstanding under the 5-year revolving credit facility due 2006. These Notes have been exchanged for registered Notes with substantially identical terms in an exchange offer that expired on May 3, 2004.
In December 2003, TIG entered into a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving bank credit facility which includes a one year term-out option and a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility. As of
47
March 31, 2004, $125.0 million had been drawn under the 3-year revolving bank credit facility. These facilities have a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIG can vary based on changes in its credit rating. These new facilities replaced the $1.5 billion undrawn 364-day revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in January 2004, and the $2.0 billion drawn 5-year revolving credit facility, which had been due to expire in February 2006.
Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio; minimum levels of net worth; and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants is presently considered restrictive to our operations.
As a result of the rating agencies' downgrade of Tyco's debt to below investment grade status in fiscal 2002, investors in one of our accounts receivable programs have the option to discontinue reinvestment in new receivables. The amount outstanding under this program was $83.1 million at March 31, 2004.
Commitments and Contingencies
Except as disclosed elsewhere in this document, our contractual obligations, contingencies and commitments for minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases have not changed materially from September 30, 2003.
Tyco has obligations under an off-balance sheet leasing arrangement for five cable laying sea vessels. Upon expiration of this lease in fiscal 2007, a subsidiary has the option to buy these vessels for approximately $280 million, or return the vessels to the lessor and, under a residual guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds to the lessor from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million. As of March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003, $17.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively, has been accrued for this obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of the vessels resulting from a third-party valuation.
At March 31, 2004, Tyco had a contingent liability of $80 million related to the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by the Electronics segment. The $80 million is the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. The $80 million was not accrued at March 31, 2004, as the outcome of this contingency cannot be reasonably determined.
In the normal course of business, Tyco is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, or annual results of operations or liquidity.
As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an
48
SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity. At this time it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. Management believes, that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), subsidiaries of Tyco, are parties to a consolidated patent infringement action against Masimo Corporation ("Masimo"), et al., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in which Nellcor alleges that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in this action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement. The trial court may, in its discretion, treble the damages awarded to Masimo by the jury for willful infringement. Nellcor will challenge the jury's decisions in post-trial motions, and, if necessary, will appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more
49
likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, the Company intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.
Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, subsidiaries of Tyco, are defendants in a separate lawsuit brought by Masimo also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2004. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that we will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.
U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In February 2003, the court held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial on damages for the earlier infringement ruling is currently scheduled for July 13, 2004. Based on the parties respective positions, damages could range from approximately $23 million to $69 million, with the possibility of enhanced damages up to treble damages if there is a finding of willful infringement. We currently do not expect, however, to incur losses beyond what we have already accrued.
On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.
Tyco is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. Tyco does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
As new internal controls and procedures are implemented, any reported allegations or violations of our guide to ethical conduct are investigated and appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures are taken. An allegation was brought to our attention that during the period from 1999 through 2003 certain improper payments were made by a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco with fiscal 2003 revenue of $24 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into these allegations and whether certain payments were correctly recorded in the books and records of the subsidiary. We have taken remedial steps and have reported the results of our investigation to the Department of Justice and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiry. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
50
Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of March 31, 2004, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $455 million. As of March 31, 2004, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately $271 million, of which $49 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $222 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of Tyco's financial position and accruals for environmental matters of $271 million, Tyco has concluded that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare segment and our Engineered Products and Services segment. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.
Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. Our vigorous defense of these lawsuits has resulted in judgments in our favor in all cases tried to verdict. We have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.
When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of March 31, 2004, there are approximately 13,500 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.
We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

Backlog
At March 31, 2004, Tyco had a backlog of unfilled orders of $13,774.5 million compared to a backlog of $13,949.1 million at December 31, 2003 and $11,533.9 million at September 30, 2003. Backlog by industry segment is as follows ($ in millions):
|
March 31, 2004 |
September 30, 2003(1) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fire and Security | $ | 7,060.2 | $ | 6,964.7 | ||
Engineered Products and Services | 3,670.6 | 2,061.4 | ||||
Electronics | 2,536.3 | 2,024.7 | ||||
Healthcare | 317.7 | 297.1 | ||||
Plastics and Adhesives | 93.2 | 109.4 | ||||
Corporate and Other | 96.5 | 76.6 | ||||
$ | 13,774.5 | $ | 11,533.9 | |||
Within the Fire and Security segment, backlog increased primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Backlog for the Fire and Security segment includes recurring "revenue-in-force," which represents twelve months' fees for monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security business. The amount of recurring revenue-in-force at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003 was $3,610.2 million and $3,606.7 million, respectively. Within the Engineering Products and Services segment, backlog increased primarily as a result of a $1,419.0 million adjustment to sub-contract costs at Infrastructure Services in backlog consistent with the presentation of revenue. These costs have historically been treated as "pass through" and were therefore not included in reported revenue and cost of revenue of Infrastructure Services. Within the Electronics segment, backlog increased primarily due to stronger orders resulting from an overall improvement in business conditions across the vast majority of its end markets. Backlog in the Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives segments represents unfilled orders, which, in the nature of the business, are normally shipped shortly after purchase orders are received. We do not view backlog in the Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives segments to be a significant indicator of the level of future sales activity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, Tyco is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect Tyco's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
In disposing of assets or businesses, Tyco often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. Tyco does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. Management does not believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on Tyco's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
Tyco has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCommitments and Contingencies" above.
52
Due to Tyco's exiting of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, Tyco has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, Tyco would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. Tyco believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to Tyco's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.
Tyco generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., consumable products) up to 20 years (e.g., power system batteries). The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage. The liability, which was $339.9 million as of March 31, 2004, is reviewed for reasonableness at least quarterly.
Accounting and Technical Pronouncements
In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," regarding the issue of disclosures for marketable equity securities and debt securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The EITF requires additional quantitative disclosure related to unrealized losses, specifically presentation of the aging of such losses. It also requires additional qualitative disclosures to help users understand why the quantitative disclosures are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The adoption of these disclosure requirements are effective for companies with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R further explains how to identity variable interest entities ("VIE") and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of VIE in its financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004. As a result, the joint ventures that were previously consolidated under FIN 46 were deconsolidated effective March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," to improve financial statement disclosure for defined benefit plans. This statement requires additional disclosures about the assets (including plan assets by category), obligations and cash flows of defined pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans in our annual report. It also requires reporting of various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis. Generally, the disclosures required are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003, however, information about foreign plans are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Tyco adopted the revised SFAS No. 132 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which supercedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of
53
EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21; the other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
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 occur 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.
You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as competition, technological obsolescence, labor relations, general economic conditions, geopolitical events and international operations. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and our liquidity.
Risks Relating to Recent Developments at Tyco
Continuing negative publicity may adversely affect our business.
As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco has been the subject of continuing negative publicity focusing on former senior corporate management's actions. This negative publicity contributed to significant declines in the prices of our publicly traded securities in 2002 and has brought increased regulatory scrutiny upon us. We also believe that many of our employees are operating under stressful conditions, which reduces morale and could lead to increased employee turnover. Continuing negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and liquidity and the market price of our publicly traded securities.
Pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, members of our current Board of Directors have been added to the case as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several ERISA class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and some members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York County. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the SEC civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions, derivative actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are also named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of
54
these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
Our senior corporate management team is required to devote significant attention to matters arising from actions of prior management.
We have replaced our senior corporate executives with an entirely new team, and our entire Board of Directors determined not to stand for reelection in March 2003. A new Board of Directors was elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2003. It will take some time for our new management team and our new Board of Directors to learn about our various businesses and to develop strong working relationships with our cadre of operating managers at our various subsidiary companies. We cannot assure you that this major restructuring of our Board of Directors and senior management team, and the accompanying distractions, in this environment, will not adversely affect our annual results of operations.
Continued scrutiny resulting from ongoing investigations may have an adverse effect on our business.
We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in our Fire and Security segment received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. As disclosed in our restated financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A on July 29, 2003, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. We are also subject to ongoing audits by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax authorities. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that the effects and results of these or other investigations will not be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, annual results of operations or liquidity.
Tyco and our subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. We believe, but we cannot assure you, that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, annual results of operations or liquidity.
An ongoing SEC inquiry may require us to further amend or restate our public disclosures.
We are subject to an inquiry by the SEC's Division of Enforcement. We cannot assure you the resolution of the Division of Enforcement's inquiry will not necessitate further amendments or restatements to our previously-filed periodic reports or lead to some enforcement proceedings against Tyco. The SEC Division of Enforcement has not completed its review of prior management's actions
55
and our accounting, including the matters covered by the Company's Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2002.
Further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures could have an adverse effect on us.
New management has determined that, in the past, Tyco in general suffered from: poor documentation; inadequate policies and procedures to prevent the misconduct of senior corporate executives; inadequate procedures for proper corporate authorizations; inadequate approval procedures and documentation; a lack of oversight by senior management at the corporate level; a pattern of using aggressive accounting that, even when in accordance with GAAP, was intended to increase reported earnings above what they would have been if more conservative accounting had been employed; pressure on, and inducements to, segment and unit managers to increase current earnings, including decisions as to what accounting treatment to employ; and a lack of a stated and demonstrable commitment by former senior corporate management to set high standards of ethics, integrity, accounting, and corporate governance. While we have implemented new procedures, we cannot assure you that we will not discover that there have been further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures.
Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.
We estimate that our available cash and our cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our operations and service our debt for the forseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with our pending litigation. Any material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from our pending investigations and litigations could require additional funding. If such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and liquidity.
Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:
Covenants in our debt instruments may adversely affect us.
Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as a debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio; minimum levels of net worth; and other covenants that limit our ability to pledge assets and to make substantial payments in connection with our capital shares. We have three synthetic lease facilities with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions.
56
Although we believe none of these covenants are presently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet these financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements or indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities or indentures, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our credit facilities and our other indebtedness. Acceleration of any obligation under any of our material debt instruments will permit the holders of our other material debt to accelerate their obligations.
Downgrades of our ratings would adversely affect us.
Certain downgrades by Moody's and S&P would permit the providers of our receivables facilities to cease further purchases under the facilities and would increase the interest cost of our credit facility borrowings. Downgrades may also increase our cost of capital and make it more difficult for us to obtain new financing.
Risks Relating to Our Businesses
Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating results in some of our segments are affected adversely by the general cyclical pattern of the industries in which they operate. For example, demand for the products and services of our Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services segments is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. Also, our Plastics and Adhesives segment and the electronic components business within our Electronics segment are heavily dependent on the end markets they serve and therefore can be affected by the demand and capital investment patterns of these markets which could impact the margins in these businesses. This cyclical impact can be amplified because some of our business segments purchase products from other business segments. For example, our Fire and Security segment purchases certain products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment. Therefore, a drop in demand for our fire prevention products, due to lower new residential or office construction or other factors, can cause a drop in demand for certain of our products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment.
Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.
We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things: the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees. There can be no assurances that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with environmental and health and safety laws. If we violate these laws, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. For example, on April 29, 2004, in Federal Court for the District of Connecticut, one of our subsidiaries in our Electronics segment pled guilty to felony violations of the Clean Water Act at three of its manufacturing plants in Connecticut. See "Part IIOther InformationItem 1Legal ProceedingsEnvironmental Litigation."
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances and costs to restore damage to natural resources. In addition to cleanup costs resulting from environmental laws, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored or disposed of by us or contained in our products.
57
We have been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain foreign and state environmental agencies that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and for natural resource damages. We also have a number of projects underway at several of our current and former manufacturing facilities in order to comply with environmental laws. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including radioactive materials decontamination and decommissioning, solvent and metal contamination cleanup and oil spill equipment upgrades and replacement. These projects, some of which are voluntary and some of which are required under applicable law, involve both remediation expenses and capital improvements. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations sold by us.
The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. We have concluded that it is probable that we will incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $150 million to $455 million. We concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $271 million, of which $49 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $222 million is included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2004. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition and annual results of operations or that we will not be subject to additional environmental claims for personal injury or cleanup in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.
We may be required to recognize additional impairment charges.
Pursuant to GAAP, we are required to periodically assess our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets to determine if they are impaired. Further disruptions to our business, end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, and market capitalization declines may result in additional charges to goodwill and other asset impairments. Future impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the period of such charge. In addition, such charges would reduce our consolidated net worth and our shareholders' equity, increasing our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio. Such reduction in consolidated net worth and increase in debt as a percentage of total capitalization could result in a default under our credit facilities.
We are subject to a variety of litigation in the course of our business that could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to a significant amount of litigation, including litigation alleging the infringement of intellectual property rights, litigation alleging anti-competitive behavior and product liability litigation. Patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful plaintiffs to recover treble damages. As described in "Part IIOther InformationItem 1Legal ProceedingsIntellectual Property Litigation," the jury in a patent infringement case awarded $134.5 million in damages for the alleged infringement by one of our subsidiaries and the court may treble those damages. In addition, our Healthcare business is subject to regulation and potential litigation. The defense of these lawsuits may divert our management's attention, and we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits. In addition, we may be required to pay awards or settlements that could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition and annual results of operations.
58
Our healthcare business is subject to extensive regulation by the government and failure to comply with those regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates the approval, manufacturing and sale and marketing of many of our healthcare products. Failure to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices and other applicable regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary manufacturing shutdowns, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an increase in trends of adverse events in the marketplace, and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to our products could lead to product recalls, withdrawals or declining sales.
Our ADT business has experienced higher rates of customer attrition, which may reduce our future revenue and has caused us to change the useful life of accounts, increasing our depreciation and amortization expense.
Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business were 15.9%, 13.2% and 12.3% on a trailing 12-month basis as of September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The attrition rate has remained relatively constant at 15.9% on a trailing 12-month basis as of March 31, 2004. If attrition rates show an upward trend, ADT's recurring revenue and results of operations will be adversely affected. Tyco amortizes the costs of ADT's contracts and related customer relationships purchased through the ADT dealer program using a double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for the first eight years of the estimated life of the customer relationships, converting to the straight-line method of amortization to completely amortize the asset pool by the end of the twelfth year. Internally generated residential and commercial account pools are amortized using a straight-line method over ten to fourteen years. If the attrition rates were to rise for these account pools, then Tyco may be required to accelerate the amortization of the costs related to these pools.
Risks Relating to Our Jurisdiction of Incorporation
Legislation and negative publicity regarding Bermuda companies could increase our tax burden and affect our operating results.
Legislation Relating to Government Contracts
We are currently assessing the potential impact of various U.S. federal and state legislative proposals that would deny government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. The legislative proposals could cover the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, by ADT Limited (a public company that had been located in Bermuda since the 1980's with origins dating back to the United Kingdom since the early 1900's), as a result of which ADT changed its name to Tyco International Ltd. and became the parent to the Tyco group.
In 2003, the State of California adopted legislation intended to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other foreign-chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. Although the California legislation provides that waivers may be issued permitting such foreign-chartered companies to participate in state contracts under certain circumstances, it is unclear how that waiver authority will be exercised.
In addition, various other states and municipalities in the U.S. have proposed similar legislation. We are unable to predict, with any level of certainty, the likelihood or final form in which any such proposed legislation might become law, or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any future legislative enactments or the impact such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our business.
59
Tyco's revenues related to direct sales to the U.S. federal government and the State of California accounted for less than 2% and 0.1%, respectively, of our total net revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2004. We are unable to predict, however, whether the final form of the proposed legislation discussed above would also affect Tyco's indirect sales to the U.S. federal or state governments or the willingness of Tyco's non-governmental customers to do business with us. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the potential impact on us of any proposed legislation in this area and can provide no assurance that the impact will not be materially adverse.
Tax Legislation
There also is proposed tax legislation in the United States, which, if enacted, could substantially increase our corporate income taxes and, consequently, decrease future net income and increase our future cash outlay for taxes. The U.S. Senate has passed and the U.S. House of Representatives is considering bills relating to the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions, which could be deemed to cover the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd. by ADT Limited described above. If either of these bills becomes law, it could have the effect of substantially reducing the tax benefits of our corporate structure and materially increasing our tax burden or otherwise adversely affecting our business. In addition, even if no tax legislation is ultimately enacted that specifically covers our 1997 combination, the enactment of other tax proposals that have been or may be made in the future to address expatriation transactions could have a material impact on our future tax burden.
Negative Publicity
There has recently been negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, U.S. companies' use of, or relocation to, offshore jurisdictions, including Bermuda. As a Bermuda company, this negative publicity could harm our reputation and impair our ability to generate new business if companies or government agencies decline to do business with us as a result of the negative public image of Bermuda companies or the possibility of our customers receiving negative media attention from doing business with a Bermuda company.
Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.
Holders of Tyco securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. See "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities."
As a Bermuda company, Tyco is governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are generally owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies do not generally have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may only exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company in limited circumstances. Under Bermuda law, a company may also agree to indemnify directors and officers for any personal liability, not involving fraud or dishonesty, incurred in relation to the company.

61
Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from our exposure during the year ended September 30, 2003. In order to achieve an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of swaps, Tyco has swapped $2.91 billion notional amount of its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. We are currently receiving a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.27% and paying a weighted-average variable rate of six-month LIBOR plus 1.40% under these swap arrangements.
Item 4Controls and Procedures
During fiscal 2002 we learned of instances of breakdowns of certain internal controls. As a result, our former Board of Directors retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation of Tyco's accounting and financial reporting. The findings of the investigation were reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K on September 17, 2002 and December 30, 2002. The restatement filed in July 2003 with the SEC includes adjustments to reverse the charges recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and reflect those charges in the historic periods to which they relate.
Additionally, our new senior management team in conjunction with our new Board of Directors reviewed overall company policies and procedures in areas that were viewed as important. Specific areas of focus included acquisition accounting, restructuring, financial and legal controls, reserve utilization, incentive compensation and a number of other areas relevant to our financial statements. Senior management determined that Tyco's existing policies and standards of approval needed substantial improvement and found that there were instances in which documentation of important financial reporting matters was substandard; there had been limited review of bonuses and incentive compensation across Tyco; and the manner in which former senior management managed Tyco did not reflect a commitment to sound corporate governance nor the processes required to ensure the highest standards of financial integrity and accounting rigor to which the new senior management team and our Board of Directors is committed and our shareholders deserve.
Senior management is committed to continuing to improve the state of our internal controls, corporate governance and financial reporting. In fiscal 2003, our new Board of Directors and senior management initiated the following actions:
62
Furthermore, in the first six months of fiscal 2004, management initiated the following actions:
Although the framework has been put in place to materially improve the control structure of Tyco, it will take some time to realize all of the benefits from our initiatives. Our Board of Directors and senior management are committed not only to a sound internal control environment but also to be recognized as a leader in corporate governance. We have committed considerable resources to date on the reviews and remedies discussed above. A review of controls of a company the size of Tyco, which includes approximately 2,300 subsidiaries, is not a one-time event. We are committed to ongoing periodic reviews of our controls and their effectiveness, the results of which will be reported to our shareholders. We are undertaking a thorough review of our internal and disclosure controls including, but not limited to, information technology systems and financial reporting as part of Tyco's compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, but at this time we have not completed our review of the existing controls and their effectiveness.
63
Our controls are continuing to improve and senior management has no reason to believe that the financial statements included in this report are not fairly stated in all material respects. There can be no assurances, however, that new problems will not be found in the future. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud because a control system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Tyco have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some person or by collusion of two or more people. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We expect to continue to improve our controls with each passing quarter. It will take some time, however, before we have in place the rigorous controls that our Board of Directors and senior management desire and our shareholders deserve.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Tyco's disclosure controls and procedures by senior management. Based on that evaluation, Tyco's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that these procedures and controls are effective, given the cautions stated above. Other than as described above, this quarter, there have been no significant changes in Tyco's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. Tyco will continue to make ongoing assessments of these controls and procedures periodically.

Securities Class Actions
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Tyco and certain of our former directors and officers have been named as defendants in more than two dozen securities class actions.
An action was filed on January 20, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Ballard v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. Plaintiffs are former AMP shareholders who received Tyco stock in connection with Tyco's merger with AMP. Plaintiffs name as defendants Tyco International Ltd., PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, former officers L. Dennis Kozlowski, Mark Swartz, Mark Belnick and former directors Frank Walsh and Michael Ashcroft. The complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sections 11 and 12 (a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The complaint seeks an award of compensatory and exemplary damages. Tyco has requested the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, a class action was filed on December 9, 2003, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Davis v. Kozlowski, et.al. purporting to represent a class of persons who held Tyco securities prior to December 13, 1999 through June 3, 2003. Plaintiff names as defendants L. Dennis Kozlowski, Mark Swartz, Mark Belnick, Frank Walsh, Michael Ashcroft, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Phua Young and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. The complaint asserts claims of common law fraud against all defendants, breach of fiduciary duties against individual defendants, negligent misrepresentation against PricewaterhouseCoopers and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty against PricewaterhouseCoopers and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith. The Company has removed the complaint to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and has requested the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, five actions have been filed purporting to bring suit derivatively on behalf of Tyco against certain former officers and certain former directors of Tyco and against Tyco as a nominal defendant. One derivative action has been voluntarily dismissed.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File their Verified Stockholders' Second Consolidated and Amended Derivative Complaint on June 12, 2003. The proposed second amended complaint drops as a defendant PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and adds as defendants each of the members of the current Board of Directors of Tyco. The second amended complaint alleges that the defendants who are current directors of Tyco engaged in, permitted and/or acquiesced in the following alleged improper conduct: making misstatements and omissions in order to disclose certain accounting issues slowly over time in order to artificially inflate Tyco's share price; making misstatements and omissions in the February 2003 proxy statement against reincorporation in Delaware and against a proposal to separate the positions of CEO and Chairman; and other allegedly improper conduct. Plaintiffs seek money damages and attorneys' fees and expenses. On December 29, 2003, the Court granted plaintiffs' motion for leave to file their second consolidated and amended derivative complaint.
65
ERISA Litigation and Investigation
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Tyco and certain of our current and former employees, officers and directors, have been named as defendants in eight class actions brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). The complaints purported to bring claims on behalf of the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plans and the participants therein.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, on April 4, 2003, Tyco and several other defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint. Shortly thereafter the other defendants also moved to dismiss. Tyco's motion to dismiss remains pending before the court. Recently, on November 6, 2003, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to add eleven current and former employees as defendants. The motion remains pending before the court.
Intellectual Property Litigation
Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), plaintiffs/counter-defendants v. Masimo Corporation ("Masimo") et al., defendants/counter-claimants, is a consolidated patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Nellcor alleges that Masimo infringed one Nellcor patent related to pulse oximeters, which are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen levels in patients, and Masimo alleges that Nellcor infringed four Masimo patents related to pulse oximeters. Trial in the action commenced on February 18, 2004. On March 16, 2004, the jury returned a liability finding that Nellcor willfully infringed the four Masimo patents and that Masimo did not infringe the one Nellcor patent. On March 26, 2004, the jury awarded Masimo $134.5 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement. The trial court may, in its discretion, treble the damages awarded to Masimo by the jury for willful infringement. Nellcor will challenge the jury's decisions in post-trial motions, and, if necessary, will appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will be overturned and, further, the Company intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in Tyco's consolidated financial statements with respect to this damage award.
Masimo Corporation v. Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, Incorporated is a separate lawsuit also pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt are subsidiaries of Tyco. In this lawsuit, Masimo alleges violations of antitrust laws against Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt in the markets for pulse oximeter products. Masimo alleges that Tyco Healthcare and Mallinckrodt have used their market position to prevent hospitals from purchasing Masimo's pulse oximetry products. Masimo seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including treble damages. Trial is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2004. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of the antitrust case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or the range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter. It is possible that we will be required to pay an award of damages in the antitrust lawsuit.
Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") v. U.S. Surgical Corp. is a patent infringement action in which U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant. In February 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California held that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is no longer on the market. In October 2003, the district court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other patents involved in the case were invalid. A trial
66
on damages for the earlier infringement ruling is currently scheduled for July 13, 2004. Based on the parties respective positions, damages could range from approximately $23 million to $69 million, with the possibility of enhanced damages up to treble damages if there is a finding of willful infringement. We currently do not expect, however, to incur losses beyond what we have already accrued.
On July 31, 2003, Applied Medical filed another patent infringement suit against U.S. Surgical in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that U.S. Surgical's Versaseal Plus trocar product infringes Applied Medical's U.S. Patent No. 5,385,533. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which the district court denied on December 23, 2003. Trial is currently scheduled to commence in March 2005. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this patent infringement case and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or range of potential losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement in this matter.
Environmental Litigation
Tyco Printed Circuit Group, Limited Partnership ("TPCG"), a business in our Electronics segment, was advised in June 2001 by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut that it was the target of a federal criminal investigation concerning alleged Clean Water Act violations at three manufacturing plants, one of which has since been closed for economic reasons unrelated to this investigation. Three former employees at one of these plants previously pled guilty to felony violations of the Clean Water Act. In 2003, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut identified a then current employee at one of these plants as a target of this investigation.
As soon as TPCG learned of the government's investigation, TPCG took prompt corrective actions, and began to cooperate with authorities. Throughout the federal investigation, TPCG has cooperated fully with the government. On April 29, 2004, TPCG pled guilty to violations of the federal Clean Water Act at these three plants in Connecticut. The violations charged occurred between 1999 and 2001. Pursuant to this plea agreement, TPCG will: (a) pay a $6 million fine; (b) pay an additional $4 million to fund environmental projects designed to improve the environment for Connecticut residents; (c) pay an additional $4,800 mandatory special assessment; (d) implement an Environmental Compliance Plan at all TPCG locations to formalize existing environmental compliance programs; and (e) engage an independent third party to conduct an environmental audit of two Connecticut facilities. The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut has stated in a publicly filed court submission that there was no concrete evidence of environmental harm as a result of these violations, and that no one above the position of environmental health and safety manager at TPCG knew of, or was involved in, these violations.
In addition, the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection has filed a civil action against the same subsidiary in Hartford Superior Court alleging violations of Connecticut environmental statutes and regulations arising out of the same conduct in the federal criminal investigation at these plants. We are also cooperating with the state in its investigation.
We have learned that on certain dates in 2002 and 2003, a business within our Engineered Products and Services segment reported purportedly incorrect data relating to landfill gas monitoring at four landfill sites in Ohio. Our business is the contractor providing landfill gas monitoring and operations services at those sites. The reporting of this purportedly incorrect data may form the bases for potential violations of the Clean Air Act and related state laws and regulations. To our knowledge, no action or proceeding has been filed by any state or federal authority in this matter to date. We have disclosed this matter to our clients involved and to the City of Toledo, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
