TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of PresentationThe unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Tyco").
The financial statements have been prepared in United States Dollars and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (the "2004 Form 10-K").
The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited, 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 for the interim period. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
Change in Fiscal Year and Reporting Calendar AlignmentEffective October 1, 2004, Tyco changed its fiscal year end from a calendar fiscal year ending September 30 to a "52-53 week" year ending on the last Friday of September, such that each quarterly period will be 13 weeks in length. For fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, the fourth quarter reporting period will be 14 weeks, with the first such occurrence taking place in fiscal 2011. In addition, certain of the Company's subsidiaries had consistently closed their books up to one month prior to the Company's fiscal period end. These subsidiaries now report results for the same period as the reported results of the consolidated Company. The impact of this change was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This change is also consistent with the Company's ongoing efforts to enhance controls and improve the transparency of its reporting, as this change better aligns the Company's external reporting with the Company's internal operational processes. Net income for the transition period related to this change was $26 million and was reported within Shareholders' Equity.
Employee Share Option PlansTyco measures compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using the intrinsic value based method and accordingly does not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the date of grant. Had the fair value based method been applied by Tyco, the effect on
5
net income and earnings per share would have been as follows ($ in millions, except for per share data):

ReclassificationsCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Accounting PronouncementsIn September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share." This EITF requires that contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger be included in diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF No. 04-8 became effective for Tyco on October 1, 2004 and required retroactive restatement of previously reported earnings per share. The adoption of this EITF did not impact diluted earnings per share for any period presented and is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings per share for the current and prior fiscal year.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for Tyco. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS No. 123R") that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to
6
be recognized in the financial statements. The compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value and will be recognized over the service period. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Pro-forma disclosure regarding the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation is presented in the Employee Share Option Plans section above. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") delayed the effective date for SFAS No. 123R so that it will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for Tyco. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the new standard will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 regarding the Staff's interpretation of SFAS No. 123R. This interpretation provides the Staff's views regarding interactions between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The interpretive guidance is intended to assist companies in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and investors and users of the financial statements in analyzing the information provided. The Company will follow the guidance prescribed in SAB No. 107 in connection with its adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143." This Interpretation clarifies the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement when the timing and (or) method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FIN No. 47 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.
2. Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment Charges, Net
2005 Charges
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, the Company recorded net restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges of $52 million, which is comprised of impairment of long-lived asset charges of $40 million in the Plastics and Adhesives business and net restructuring charges of $12 million. See Note 6 for further discussion of the long-lived asset impairment charges. Restructuring charges during the six months ended April 1, 2005 were $27 million, which consisted of $15 million of severance, $6 million of facility exit charges and $6 million of other charges. The Company completed restructuring activities announced in prior years for amounts less than originally anticipated resulting in a reversal of $11 million of restructuring reserves. The Company also recorded other net non-cash credits of $4 million.
2004 Charges
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded net restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges of $80 million.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, Plastics and Adhesives recorded net restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges of $58 million. This charge consists of impairment charges of $37 million associated with management's decision to exit 22 facilities primarily in the United States,
7
$10 million for facility exit costs in connection with the elimination of these facilities, and $11 million for employee severance and benefits.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, Fire and Security recorded net restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges of $42 million associated with streamlining the business. The charges consist primarily of $32 million for employee severance and benefits and $9 million for facility exit costs in connection with the elimination of 67 facilities in Europe, the United States, Latin America and Australia.
During the six months ended March 31, 2004, Electronics recorded net restructuring credits of $29 million, consisting of credits of $33 million related to completing certain restructuring activities for amounts less than originally estimated, partially offset by charges of $4 million for employee severance and benefits.

3. Divestitures and Acquisitions
Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
In May 2005, Tyco announced its intent to explore the divesture of its Plastics and Adhesives business segment. Plastics and Adhesives is a global manufacturer of plastic film, specialty tapes and adhesives, coated products and garment hangers. Net revenue and operating income for fiscal 2004 for this business were $1.7 billion and $69 million, respectively. During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company recorded $202 million ($181 million after tax) of goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges in the A&E Products business unit of Plastics and Adhesives. See Note 6 for further discussion of the impairment charges.
In November 2004, Tyco agreed to sell the Tyco Global Network ("TGN"), its undersea fiber optic telecommunication network, to one of India's telephone and internet service providers for $130 million. Tyco has progressed in obtaining the various governmental approvals in the United States, India and other countries that are required prior to completing this sale. The Company has presented the results of the TGN in continuing operations because the criteria for discontinued operations have not been met.
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, the Company divested six businesses that were reported as continuing operations in Fire and Security, Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services for aggregate proceeds of $35 million in cash. The Company recorded net losses and impairments on divestitures of $20 million, including $3 million reflected in cost of sales, in connection with the divestiture and liquidation of these businesses, as well as the write-down to estimated fair value of certain held for sale businesses. Total assets and total liabilities of these divested businesses were $88 million and $53 million, respectively. The total assets included cash retained by the businesses sold of $9 million.
Net revenue and operating income for the six months ended April 1, 2005 related to these businesses were $59 million and $1 million, respectively. Net revenue and operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2004 related to businesses divested in fiscal 2004 and 2005 were $419 million and $6 million, respectively.
During the first six months of fiscal 2005, the Company divested six businesses that were reported as discontinued operations within Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services for aggregate proceeds of $156 million in cash. The Company recorded losses on the sale of discontinued operations of $80 million ($56 million after tax) to reflect the estimated losses on sale, including costs to sell, and to write down the carrying value of such assets to their estimated fair value. Total assets and total liabilities of the divested businesses were $364 million and $166 million, respectively. Net revenue of discontinued operations for the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was $172 million and $435 million, respectively. Pretax operating loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was $6 million and $8 million, respectively.

In addition, the quarter ended April 1, 2005 excludes the effect of the assumed exchange of convertible debt due 2010, 2018 and 2023 of 1 million shares, 88 million shares and 63 million shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 71 million shares and 89 million shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, as a result of consideration for potential sale and deteriorating operating results in the A&E Products business, the Company performed an interim assessment of the recoverability of both goodwill and long-lived assets in the Plastics and Adhesives segment. Estimated fair values of the reporting units and long-lived assets at Plastics and Adhesives were developed based on probability-weighted expected future cash flows of these assets. As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that the book value of certain long-lived assets in the A&E Products reporting unit of Plastics and Adhesives was greater than their estimated fair value and consequently recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $40 million. The Company also determined that the book value of the A&E Products reporting unit was in excess of its estimated fair value which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $162 million.

On December 16, 2004, Tyco International Group S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of Luxembourg ("TIGSA"), entered into a $1.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility expiring on December 16, 2009. This facility replaced TIGSA's $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility, which was terminated prior to its scheduled expiration date of December 20, 2004. There were no amounts outstanding under the 364-day revolving credit facility on the date of its termination. TIGSA also holds a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility expiring on December 22, 2006 and a $500 million 3-year unsecured letter of credit facility expiring on June 15, 2007. At April 1, 2005 there were no amounts drawn on any of these facilities.
In the first six months of fiscal 2005, the Company repurchased $813 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.75% convertible senior debentures due 2018 with a 2008 put option for $1,269 million and $375 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.125% convertible senior debentures due 2023 with a 2015 put option for $627 million. These repurchases resulted in a $729 million loss on the retirement of debt, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which is reflected in other (expense) income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
At April 1, 2005, the Company had a contingent purchase price liability of $80 million related to the 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by Electronics. This represents 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. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded in Tyco's Consolidated Financial Statements 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, results of operations or cash flows.
Class Actions
As a result of actions taken by the Company's former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of the Company's former senior corporate management, former members of the Company's Board of Directors and the Company's current Chief Executive Officer and Special Advisor to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. Tyco, certain of the Company's current and former employees, some members of the Company's former senior corporate management and some current and former members of the Board of Directors of Tyco International (US), Inc. also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of the Company's former senior corporate management are subject to a SEC inquiry, and some members of the Company's 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
15
civil action may affect the course of the purported securities class actions and ERISA class actions pending against Tyco. The Company is generally obligated to indemnify its directors and officers and its 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, the Company's insurance carriers may decline coverage, or the Company's coverage may be insufficient to cover its expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. The Company is unable at this time to estimate what its ultimate liability in all of these matters may be, and it is possible that the Company 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 its financial position, 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.
Investigations
The Company and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the United States Department of Labor and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into the Company's governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in Fire and Security received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices regarding the ADT dealer connect fees. As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of its benefit plans. The Company cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can the Company predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that the Company 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 the Company's business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 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 the matters raised in the investigations by the District Attorney or Department of Labor.
During the quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $50 million, which represents the Company's best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties management believes the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. The Company is engaged in discussions with the SEC's Division of Enforcement to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. Final resolution of these matters is subject to a number of uncertainties, including finalizing the terms of a settlement that the Enforcement Staff will agree to recommend to the Commission, the Company's submission of an offer of settlement approved by the Tyco Board of Directors, and the Commission's approval of the settlement offer. Until such events have occurred, the charge is subject to change.

Intellectual Property Litigation
The Company is party to a number of patent infringement and antitrust actions that may require the Company to pay damage awards. Tyco has assessed the status of these matters and has recorded liabilities related to certain of these matters where appropriate.
Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), plaintiffs/counterdefendants 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 is a subsidiary of Tyco. 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 $135 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement through December 31, 2003. After hearing post-trial motions, the district court issued an order on July 14, 2004 which (i) denied Masimo's request to impose an injunction on the sale of pulse oximeters; (ii) reversed the jury finding of patent infringement for one of the four patents at issue; (iii) ruled that a second patent was unenforceable due to Masimo's inequitable conduct in seeking the patent; and (iv) overturned the jury finding that the infringement was "willful." On August 6, 2004, the district court entered final judgment that included additional damages of $30 million for Nellcor's alleged infringement from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004. Nellcor is appealing the jury's infringement finding on the remaining two Masimo patents to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The briefing for the appeal is completed. The Court of Appeals has not yet scheduled oral argument for the appeal. Tyco 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, Tyco 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. Also in connection with this patent litigation, Nellcor asserts that Masimo infringes a second Nellcor patent (U.S. Patent No. 4,934,372the "'372 patent"). On April 8, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in Nellcor's favor that reversed the district court's summary judgment finding of noninfringement regarding the '372 patent claim against Masimo. The Court of Appeals remanded Nellcor's '372 patent claim to the district court for further proceedings.
Masimo Corporation v. Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, Inc. 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 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 in this case began on February 22, 2005. The jury returned its verdict on March 21, 2005, and awarded Masimo $140 million in damages. The damages are automatically trebled under the antitrust statute to an award of $420 million. Masimo's attorneys are entitled to an award of reasonable fees and costs in addition to the verdict amount. Tyco has assessed the status of this matter and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the jury's decision will
17
be overturned, and, further, Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to this damage award.
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") v. United States Surgical ("U.S. Surgical") is a patent infringement action in which U.S. Surgical, a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant. In February 2002, the United States 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 district court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The United States 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 in the district court concluded on July 27, 2004. The jury awarded Applied Medical $44 million in damages and returned a finding that the earlier infringement was willful, giving the district court discretion to enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to Applied Medical by the jury. On October 1, 2004, the district court issued post-trial rulings that (i) denied U.S. Surgical's motion to set aside the jury's finding on willfulness; and (ii) granted Applied Medical's motion for enhanced damages, enhancing the jury's damages award by 25%, or $11 million. On January 27, 2005, the district court awarded Applied Medical $10 million in costs, prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees. Thus, Applied Medical's total award is $65 million. U.S. Surgical will appeal the damages award and the willfulness finding to the court of appeals. Tyco has recorded a liability related to this matter and does not expect to incur material losses beyond what has already been 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. On February 7, 2005, the district court granted U.S. Surgical's motion for summary judgment. Applied Medical is appealing the summary judgment ruling.
Environmental
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 April 1, 2005, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $167 million to $491 million. As of April 1, 2005, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $260 million, of which $36 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $224 million is included in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In view of the Company's financial
18
position and reserves for environmental matters of $260 million, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Asbestos
Tyco and some of its 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, the Company has 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 Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. A majority 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 its subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in the Company's experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. The Company will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and the Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims. When appropriate, the Company settles claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of April 1, 2005, there were approximately 16,000 asbestos liability cases pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.
During the first half of 2005, the Company undertook a detailed study of its pending asbestos claims and also developed an estimate of asbestos claims that were incurred but not reported, as well as related insurance and indemnification recoveries. The impact of this study was not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company believes that it has adequate amounts recorded related to these matters. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, the Company believes that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account its substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the United States Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. The Company is reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and is 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 recorded through the income tax provision or goodwill, as appropriate.
19
Compliance Matters
In 2003 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 2004 revenue of $40 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into this allegation to determine 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 U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiries.
On March 29, 2005, Tyco reported to the DOJ and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to a number of recent allegations of improper payments. Tyco also informed the DOJ and the SEC that it has retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, that it would make periodic progress reports to them, and that it would present its factual findings upon conclusion of the baseline review.
At this time, Tyco cannot determine the outcome of these matters reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of any or all of these matters.
Other Matters
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, results of operations or cash flows.

As previously discussed in the 2004 Form 10-K, the Company anticipates that at a minimum it will contribute the minimum required to its pension plans in 2005 of $9 million for U.S plans and $185 million for non-U.S. plans. As of April 1, 2005, the Company has contributed $64 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans. During the six months ended April 1, 2005 the Company completed the merger of certain pension plans in the United Kingdom.
As a result of merging certain pension plans, the Company increased its minimum pension liability with a corresponding reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income of $21 million (net of tax) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

12. Guarantees
The Company's guarantees have not changed significantly from those previously discussed in the 2004 Form 10-K.
The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. 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 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 warranty accrual, shown in the following table, is reviewed for reasonableness at least quarterly.
The following table reflects the roll forward of the Company's warranty accrual for the quarter and six months ended April 1, 2005 ($ in millions).

Net revenue increased $0.6 billion, or 6.5%, for the second quarter and $1.0 billion, or 5.3%, for the first half of 2005 as compared to the same periods last year. Net revenue increased in all segments for both the quarter and year to date. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably effected each period by $217 million and $561 million, respectively.
Operating income increased $83 million, or 6.6%, for the second quarter while operating margin remained at 12.8% as compared to the same period last year. Operating income increased $240 million, or 9.6%, for the first half of 2005 while operating margins increased 0.5 percentage points to 13.3%. Both current year periods were unfavorably impacted by asset impairment charges of $202 million and an estimated SEC enforcement action charge of $50 million. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably effected each period by $27 million and $88 million, respectively.
We continued to utilize cash to fund internal growth and strengthen the balance sheet, as well as return capital to shareholders. During the first six months of 2005, we utilized $1.9 billion, including a $0.7 billion cash premium, to repurchase $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of our convertible debentures prior to their scheduled maturities. These repurchases reduced our diluted share count by approximately 53 million shares on an annualized basis with the added benefit of reducing our debt and interest expense. In addition, we utilized $1.0 billion in cash for scheduled repayments of debentures during the first half of 2005.
During the first quarter of 2005, we also announced a substantial increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.0125 cents per share to $0.10 cents per share. As a result, dividend payments for the six months ended April 1, 2005 increased to $225 million from $50 million in the comparable prior year period.
In May 2005, we announced our intent to explore the divestiture of our Plastics and Adhesives business segment. This action is a continuation of our ongoing portfolio refinement. We will continue
33
to assess the strategic fit of our various businesses and will consider additional divestitures where businesses do not align with our long-term vision.

Net revenue for Fire and Security remained relatively level in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net revenue increased as a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($68 million). In addition, net revenue increased at Tyco Safety Products due to increased sales of breathing, intrusion and suppression products and within our fire protection business. However, these increases were offset by the impact of divestitures ($105 million) and lower net revenue in our security business in continental Europe.
Operating income increased $93 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 over the same period in the prior year. Operating income and margins for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included restructuring, impairment and divestiture related charges of $63 million. The remaining increase in operating income and margins was due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher installation margins and operating efficiencies within our global security business, partially offset by increased investment in sales and marketing.
Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business improved to an average of 15.0% on a trailing twelve-month basis as of April 1, 2005, as compared to 15.4% as of December 31, 2004, as gross attrition has declined and resale rates have increased.

Net revenue for Electronics increased $287 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 over the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net revenue was positively impacted by the change in fiscal year and conforming the reporting calendar of certain subsidiaries which resulted in the December holiday related slow-down shifting from the second quarter into the first quarter. In addition, the increase in net revenue was a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($75 million), as well as growth in Electronic Components, driven primarily by sales to the automotive, communications and utilities markets. These increases to net revenue were partially offset by the divestiture of the Electrical Contracting Services business ($84 million).
Operating income and operating margin for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 increased as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to the change in fiscal year and conforming the reporting calendar of certain subsidiaries, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and increased sales volume. In addition, operating income and margins in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 benefited as a result of $35 million of restructuring and divestiture charges recorded in the comparable prior period. These increases were partially offset by increased raw material costs and weakness at certain business units which are largely tied to the telecommunications industry.

Net revenue for Healthcare increased 3.7% in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 over the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This increase resulted primarily from growth in existing businesses and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($38 million). Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was primarily driven by increased revenue within Medical Devices and Supplies largely driven by increased sales volume in the International division, primarily in Europe and Japan. Additionally, Surgical also experienced increased sales, although to a lesser extent. These increases were slightly offset by decreased sales in Retail primarily as a result of aggressive pricing and promotional activity by some of our trade brand competitors coupled with customer consolidations.
Despite significant increases in raw material pricing within Medical Devices and Supplies, operating income and operating margin in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased as a result of the favorable sales performance noted above, improved product mix and continuing cost reduction programs. In addition, operating income and margins benefited $20 million from the refinement of litigation liabilities and related insurance recoveries.

Net revenue for Engineered Products and Services increased 15.4% in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 over the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as a result of increased selling prices in Electrical and Metal Products due to higher costs of steel and other raw materials. Revenue was positively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates ($33 million) as well as the change in fiscal year and conforming the reporting calendar of certain subsidiaries. In addition, Flow Control experienced increased sales resulting from improved market conditions and increased demand in the Asia-Pacific, North American, and Latin American regions. These increases were partially offset by lower volume in Electrical and Metal Products and a decrease in revenues at Infrastructure Services.
The increases in operating income and operating margin in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were due primarily to higher selling prices, net of higher raw material costs, as well as the impact of operational excellence initiatives and cost reductions from prior period restructuring. In addition, operating income increased as a result of improved volume at Flow Control discussed above, largely offset by decreased operating income at Infrastructure Services.

Operating margin | (40.4 | )% | 3.5 | % |
Net revenue for Tyco Plastics and Adhesives increased 7.7% in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 over the quarter ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to the reclassification of customer reimbursed freight costs from a reduction of revenue to cost of sales ($20 million). Increased selling prices at Plastics resulting from higher raw material costs and increased sales at Adhesives and Ludlow Coated Products also contributed to the revenue increase. In addition, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates positively impacted revenue ($3 million). These increases in revenue were partially offset by a net decline at A&E Products primarily due to a decrease in volume across America, Asia and Europe.
Operating income and margin decreased in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, as a result of long-lived asset impairment charges of $202 million in the current
36
period (see "Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments" below) as compared to $27 million of restructuring and impairment charges in the prior year. Weak performance at A&E Products along with the inability to fully recover higher raw materials costs also contributed to the decreases.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses were $133 million and $62 million in the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively, which included operating losses of $21 million and $14 million, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. In addition, corporate expense for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 included a $50 million charge representing the best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties that the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC investigation that commenced in June 2002.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was $31 million and $14 million in the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Interest expense was $209 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as compared to $226 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by lower debt balances, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates on our interest rate swap program compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company recorded losses from the retirement of debt of $573 million.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 62.2% and 24.7% during the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The substantial increase in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of an increase in charges that cannot be benefited related to the loss on retirement of debt, asset impairments and the estimated settlement of the SEC enforcement action. This was partially offset by increased profitability in operations in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Net revenue for Fire and Security remained relatively level in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the six months ended March 31, 2004. Net revenue increased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($175 million) and increased sales of breathing, intrusion and
37
suppression products at Tyco Safety Products. These increases were offset by the impact of divestitures ($164 million) and decreased sales at our security business in Europe.
Operating income increased $129 million in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the same period in the prior year. Results for the current period included net restructuring and divestiture related charges of $13 million as compared to net restructuring, impairment and divestiture charges of $80 million in the comparable prior period. The remaining increase in operating income in the six months ended April 1, 2005 was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, cost control measures related to operational excellence initiatives and prior year restructuring programs, partially offset by increased investment in sales and marketing.
Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business slightly improved to an average of 15.0% on a trailing twelve-month basis as of April 1, 2005, as compared to 15.1% as of September 30, 2004.

Net revenue for Electronics increased 5.8% in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to strong results in Electronic Components, driven primarily by sales to the automotive, aerospace and defense, communications, household appliance and utilities markets. In addition, revenue increased substantially due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($195 million). The change in fiscal year and conforming the reporting calendar of certain subsidiaries also contributed to the increase in revenue, although to a lesser extent. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Electrical Contracting Services business ($172 million).
Operating income for the six months ended April 1, 2005 included net restructuring and other credits of $3 million, as compared to net restructuring and divestiture costs of $15 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004. Operating income and operating margin for the six months ended April 1, 2005 increased as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and increased sales volume, partially offset by increased commodity costs.

Net revenue for Healthcare increased 5.0% in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the six months ended March 31, 2004. This increase resulted primarily from growth in existing businesses and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($94 million). Growth in Healthcare's underlying businesses was principally driven by increased revenue within Medical Devices and Supplies which was largely a result of increased sales volume in the International division, primarily in Europe, due to a salesforce investment and growth in the underlying businesses. Increases at Pharmaceuticals due to higher volume also contributed to the increase, although to a lesser extent. These increases were partially offset by decreased sales in Retail primarily due to a difficult competitive environment and consolidation within the retail sector.
The increases in operating income and operating margin in the six months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2004 were due primarily to the favorable margin impact of the increased sales discussed above and a continued focus on maximizing operating efficiencies. In addition, operating income and margin benefited $20 million from the refinement of litigation liabilities and related insurance recoveries.

Operating margin | 10.8 | % | 8.5 | % |
Net revenue for Engineered Products and Services increased 12.3% in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by increased selling prices in Electrical and Metal Products due to higher costs of steel and other raw materials. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($91 million) also contributed to the increase in revenue. In addition, Flow Control experienced increased sales in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region with growth in both the water and industrial markets and high levels of project activity. The above increases in revenue were partially offset by lower volume in Electrical and Metal Products, a slight decrease of Infrastructure Services due to project timing and a
39
decline in the Thermal Controls division, particularly in the North American market for the turnkey design and installation business.
The increases in operating income and operating margin in the six months ended April 1, 2005 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2004 were due primarily to higher selling prices, net of higher raw material costs, as well as the impact of operational excellence and cost reductions from prior period restructuring, and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net revenue for Tyco Plastics and Adhesives increased 8.5% in the six months ended April 1, 2005 over the six months ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to the reclassification of customer reimbursed freight costs from a reduction of revenue to cost of sales ($40 million). Higher selling prices as a result of increased material costs more than offset volume declines at Plastics, and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($6 million) also contributed to the increase. Additionally, Adhesives and Ludlow Coated Products also experienced higher sales, while revenue at A&E Products declined primarily due to a decrease in volume across all regions.
Operating income and operating margin both decreased significantly in the six months ended April 1, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. This was primarily due to long-lived asset impairment charges of $202 million during the current period (see "Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments" below) as compared to $57 million of restructuring, impairment and other charges in the prior year. This decrease was slightly offset by the favorable margin impact of the increased sales discussed above.

Corporate expenses were $210 million and $155 million in the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively, which included operating losses of $42 million and $31 million, respectively, related to the TGN business held for sale. In addition, corporate expense for the six months ended April 1, 2005 included a $50 million charge representing the best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties that the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC investigation that commenced in June 2002.
40
Interest income was $68 million and $40 million in the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Interest expense was $427 million in the six months ended April 1, 2005 as compared to $491 million in the six months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by lower debt balances, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates on our interest rate swap program compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, the Company recorded losses from the retirement of debt of $729 million.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 41.1% and 25.8% during the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of an increase in charges that cannot be benefited related to the loss on retirement of debt, asset impairments and the estimated settlement of the SEC enforcement action. This was partially offset by increased profitability in operations in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.
Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
In May 2005, Tyco announced its intent to explore the divesture of its Plastics and Adhesives business segment. Plastics and Adhesives is a global manufacturer of plastic film, specialty tapes and adhesives, coated products and garment hangers. Net revenue and operating income for fiscal 2004 for this business were $1.7 billion and $69 million, respectively. During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company recorded $202 million ($181 million after tax) of goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges in the A&E Products business unit of Plastics and Adhesives. See "Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments" below for further discussion of these charges. As we continue to explore the divestiture of the Plastics and Adhesives business, we may incur additional impairment charges.
In November 2004, we agreed to sell the TGN, our undersea fiber optic telecommunication network, to one of India's telephone and internet service providers for $130 million. We have progressed in obtaining the various governmental approvals in the United States, India and other countries that are required prior to completing this sale. We anticipate that this sale will be completed during this fiscal year, and expect to record a gain on sale at that time.
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, the Company divested six businesses that were reported as continuing operations in Fire and Security, Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services for aggregate proceeds of $35 million in cash. The Company recorded net losses and impairments on divestitures of $20 million, including $3 million reflected in cost of sales, in connection with the divestiture and liquidation of these businesses, as well as the write-down to estimated fair value of certain held for sale businesses. Total assets and total liabilities of these divested businesses were $88 million and $53 million, respectively. The total assets included cash retained by the businesses sold of $9 million.
Net revenue and operating income for the six months ended April 1, 2005 related to these businesses were $59 million and $1 million, respectively. Net revenue and operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2004 related to businesses divested in fiscal 2004 and 2005 were $419 million and $6 million, respectively.
During the first six months of fiscal 2005, the Company divested six businesses that were reported as discontinued operations within Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services for
41
aggregate proceeds of $156 million in cash. The Company recorded losses on the sale of discontinued operations of $80 million ($56 million after tax) to reflect the estimated losses on sale, including costs to sell, and to write down the carrying value of such assets to their estimated fair value. Total assets and total liabilities of the divested businesses were $364 million and $166 million, respectively. Net revenue of discontinued operations for the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was $172 million and $435 million, respectively. Pretax operating loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was $6 million and $8 million, respectively.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments
During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, as a result of consideration for potential sale and deteriorating operating results in the A&E Products business, the Company performed an interim assessment of the recoverability of both goodwill and long-lived assets in the Plastics and Adhesives segment. Estimated fair values of the reporting units and long-lived assets at Plastics and Adhesives were developed based on probability-weighted expected future cash flows of these assets. As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that the book value of certain long-lived assets in the A&E Products reporting unit of Plastics and Adhesives was greater than their estimated fair value and consequently recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $40 million. The Company also determined that the book value of the A&E Products reporting unit was in excess of its estimated fair value which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $162 million.
Change in Fiscal Year and Reporting Calendar Alignment
Effective October 1, 2004, Tyco changed its fiscal year end from a calendar fiscal year ending September 30 to a "52-53 week" year ending on the last Friday of September, such that each quarterly period will be 13 weeks in length. For fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, the fourth quarter reporting period will be 14 weeks, with the first such occurrence taking place in fiscal 2011. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries had consistently closed their books up to one month prior to our fiscal period end. These subsidiaries now report results for the same period as the reported results of the consolidated Company. The impact of this change was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This change is also consistent with our ongoing efforts to enhance controls and improve the transparency of our reporting, as this change better aligns our external reporting with our internal operational processes. Net income for the transition period related to this change was $26 million and was reported within Shareholders' Equity.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with 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.
We believe that our accounting policies for depreciation and amortization of security monitoring systems, goodwill, revenue recognition, income taxes and long-lived assets are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During the six months ended April 1, 2005, there were no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (the "2004 Form 10-K").

The net change in working capital was a cash decrease of $792 million in the six months ended April 1, 2005. The significant changes in working capital during the six months included a $563 million increase in accounts receivable and a $373 million increase in inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $160 million.
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, we purchased approximately 151,400 customer contracts for electronic security services through the ADT dealer program for cash of $135 million.
During the six months ended April 1, 2005, we paid $24 million relating to purchase accounting and 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 that 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. At April 1, 2005, holdback/earn-out liabilities on our
44
Consolidated Balance Sheet were $167 million, of which $56 million was included in accrued and other current liabilities and $111 million was included in other liabilities.
At April 1, 2005, the acquisition liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet were $93 million, of which $30 million was included in accrued and other current liabilities and $63 million was included in other liabilities.
We continue to fund capital expenditures to improve the cost structure of our businesses, invest in new processes and technology, and maintain high quality production standards. The level of capital expenditures is not expected to exceed depreciation in 2005 and is expected to increase relative to the level of spending in 2004.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended April 1, 2005 was $676 million, and the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the six months was $402 million. The difference is due to timing differences, as well as net operating loss carryforward utilization and audit settlement refunds.
Capitalization
Shareholders' equity was $31.6 billion, or $15.67 per share, at April 1, 2005, compared to $30.3 billion, or $15.07 per share, at September 30, 2004. The increase in shareholders' equity was due primarily to net income of $901 million and favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $639 million for the six months ended April 1, 2005, partially offset by dividends declared of $402 million.
At April 1, 2005, total debt was $14.4 billion, as compared to $16.7 billion at September 30, 2004. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and shareholders' equity) was 31% at April 1, 2005 and 36% at September 30, 2004. The decrease in debt resulted principally from the repurchase of the convertible debentures discussed below ($1.2 billion) and scheduled repayments of debentures ($1.0 billion). Our cash balance decreased to $2.9 billion at April 1, 2005, as compared to $4.5 billion at September 30, 2004. The decrease in cash was primarily due to convertible debt repurchases and scheduled debt repayments. Capital expenditures, and to a lesser extent, dividend payments and acquisition of customer accounts, also contributed to the cash decrease. These decreases were partially offset by cash flows from operations.
On December 16, 2004, Tyco International Group S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of Luxembourg ("TIGSA"), entered into a $1 billion 5-year revolving credit facility expiring on December 16, 2009. This facility replaced TIGSA's $1 billion 364-day revolving credit facility, which was terminated prior to its scheduled expiration date of December 20, 2004. There were no amounts outstanding under the 364-day revolving credit facility on the date of its termination. TIGSA also holds a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility expiring on December 22, 2006 and a $500 million 3-year unsecured letter of credit facility expiring on June 15, 2007. At April 1, 2005 there were no amounts drawn on any of these facilities.
In the first six months of 2005, the Company repurchased $813 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.75% convertible senior debentures due 2018 with a 2008 put option for $1,269 million and $375 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.125% convertible senior debentures due 2023 with a 2015 put option for $627 million. These repurchases resulted in a $729 million loss on the retirement of debt, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which is reflected in other (expense) income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Assuming suitable market conditions and attractive pricing exist, the Company may continue to repurchase additional convertible senior debentures at comparable levels within the Company's convertible debt repurchase program that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
45
We plan to use available cash to continue to fund internal growth and cost reduction opportunities within our businesses. Additionally, we believe that our cash flow generation capability will allow us to continue to strengthen the balance sheet and return capital to shareholders. While debt reduction remains our focus in the near term, we may consider an appropriate acquisition should the opportunity arise.
The Company's bank credit agreements contain a number of financial and other covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minimum levels of net worth, and limits on the incurrence of liens. At April 1, 2005, the Company had two remaining synthetic lease facilities, with other covenants, including interest coverage and leverage ratios. The Company's 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 the Company's operations. The Company is currently in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
On December 9, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend on the Company's common shares from $0.0125 to $0.10 per share. As a result, dividend payments are expected to approximate $625 million for 2005.
Commitments and Contingencies
At April 1, 2005, the Company had a contingent purchase price liability of $80 million related to the 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by Electronics. This represents 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. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded in Tyco's Consolidated Financial Statements 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, results of operations or cash flows.
Class Actions
For a discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's securities class actions, shareholder derivative litigation, ERISA litigation, and litigation against our former senior management, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 all of 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, 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.
Investigations
For a discussion of contingencies related to governmental investigations related to Tyco, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. We are cooperating with these investigations and are complying with these requests. At this time, 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 the Company will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the
46
ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact the Company's business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. It is not possible at this time to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.
During the quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $50 million, which represents the Company's best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties we believe the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. The Company is engaged in discussions with the SEC's Division of Enforcement to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. Final resolution of these matters is subject to a number of uncertainties, including finalizing the terms of a settlement that the Enforcement Staff will agree to recommend to the Commission, the Company's submission of an offer of settlement approved by the Tyco Board of Directors, and the Commission's approval of the settlement offer. Until such events have occurred, the charge is subject to change.
Intellectual Property Litigation
The Company is party to a number of patent infringement and antitrust actions that may require the Company to pay damage awards. Tyco has assessed the status of these matters and has recorded liabilities related to certain of these matters where appropriate. For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's intellectual property litigation, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental
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 April 1, 2005, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $167 million to $491 million. As of April 1, 2005, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $260 million, of which $36 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $224 million is included in other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $260 million, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Asbestos
For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's asbestos matters, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, we believe that we have adequate amounts recorded 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, results of operations or cash flows.
47
Income Taxes
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), 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 recorded through the income tax provision or goodwill, as appropriate. We cannot provide assurance that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "AJCA"), signed into law in October 2004, replaces an export incentive with a deduction from domestic manufacturing income. It is not expected that the AJCA will have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision or goodwill, as appropriate. The AJCA also allows the Company to repatriate up to $500 million of permanently reinvested foreign earnings in 2005 or 2006 at an effective tax rate of 5.25%. This incentive would apply to the Company's U.S. owned controlled foreign companies. The Company is reviewing whether to take advantage of this provision of the AJCA.
Compliance Matters
In 2003 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 2004 revenue of $40 million. With the assistance of outside counsel, we conducted an internal investigation into this allegation to determine 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 U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC and are cooperating with their inquiries.
On March 29, 2005, Tyco reported to the DOJ and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to a number of recent allegations of improper payments. Tyco also informed the DOJ and the SEC that it has retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, that it would make periodic progress reports to them, and that it would present its factual findings upon conclusion of the baseline review.
At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of its disclosure of these matters reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of any or all of these matters.
Other Matters
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, results of operations or cash flows.
48
Backlog
At April 1, 2005, Tyco had a backlog of unfilled orders of $13.7 billion, compared to a backlog of $13.2 billion at September 30, 2004. Backlog by segment was as follows ($ in millions):
|
April 1, 2005 |
September 30, 2004 |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fire and Security | $ | 6,864 | $ | 6,726 | ||
Engineered Products and Services | 3,827 | 3,469 | ||||
Electronics | 2,427 | 2,454 | ||||

Plastics and Adhesives | 107 | 118 | ||||
Corporate and Other | 156 | 120 | ||||
$ | 13,682 | $ | 13,167 | |||
Within Fire and Security, backlog increased primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Backlog for Fire and Security included 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 April 1, 2005 and September 30, 2004 was $3,593 million and $3,559 million, respectively. Within Engineered Products and Services, backlog increased primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency exchange rates and increased orders in Infrastructure Services and Flow Control. Within Electronics, backlog remained relatively level as favorable foreign currency exchange rates were offset by the absence of backlog related to the final portion of the Electrical Contracting Services business sold during the first quarter of 2005. Backlog in Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives 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 Healthcare and Plastics and Adhesives to be a significant indicator of the level of future sales activity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Sale of Accounts Receivable
At April 1, 2005 and September 30, 2004, the availability under our corporate accounts receivable programs was $550 million and $625 million, respectively. No amounts were utilized under these corporate programs at April 1, 2005 or September 30, 2004. The aggregate amount outstanding under international accounts receivable programs was $88 million at April 1, 2005 and $99 million at September 30, 2004.
Guarantees
The Company's guarantees have not changed materially from those previously discussed in the 2004 Form 10-K.
Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus on EITF No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share." This EITF requires that contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger be included in diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF No. 04-8 became effective for Tyco on October 1, 2004 and required retroactive restatement of previously reported earnings per share. The adoption of this EITF did not impact diluted earnings per share for any period presented and is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings per share for the current or prior fiscal year.
49
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for Tyco. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS No. 123R") that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. The compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value and will be recognized over the service period. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Pro-forma disclosure regarding the effect on net income and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation is presented in the Employee Share Option Plans section of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date for SFAS No. 123R so that it will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for Tyco. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the new standard will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 regarding the Staff's interpretation of SFAS No. 123R. This interpretation provides the Staff's views regarding interactions between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The interpretive guidance is intended to assist companies in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and investors and users of the financial statements in analyzing the information provided. The Company will follow the guidance prescribed in SAB No. 107 in connection with its adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143." This Interpretation clarifies the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement when the timing and (or) method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FIN No. 47 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our publicly traded 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 Actions of Tyco's Former Senior Corporate Management
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 and former Chief Financial Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of the Board of Directors of Tyco International (US), Inc. 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 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 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, 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.
Continued scrutiny resulting from ongoing governmental 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 United States Department of Labor 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 Fire and Security received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices regarding the ADT dealer connect fees. As previously reported in our periodic filings, these practices have been discontinued. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. At this time, 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 provide assurance that the effects and results of these or other investigations will not be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
51
Examinations and audits by tax authorities, including the IRS, could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.
Tyco and our subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various tax authorities. Tyco is currently under audit by the IRS for the years 1997 to 2000. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, 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 or goodwill, as appropriate. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional income taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities.
In connection with the IRS audits for the years 1997-2000, the Company prepared proposed adjustments to these prior period U.S. federal income tax returns. The proposed amendments are currently being reviewed by the IRS and if accepted will result in receipt of refunds or credits and a corresponding reduction to our net deferred tax asset. The Company is in the process of preparing proposed amendments to prior period U.S. federal income tax returns for additional periods. The proposed amendments are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Ongoing SEC inquiries may require us to further amend or restate our public disclosures.
We are subject to inquiries by the SEC's Division of Enforcement. We cannot provide assurance that the resolution of the Division of Enforcement's inquiries will not necessitate further amendments or restatements to our previously-filed periodic reports or lead to some enforcement proceedings against Tyco. The SEC's Division of Enforcement has not completed its review of prior management's actions and our accounting, including the matters covered by the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2002.
During the quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $50 million, which represents the Company's best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties management believes the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. The Company is engaged in discussions with the SEC's Division of Enforcement to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. Final resolution of these matters is subject to a number of uncertainties, including finalizing the terms of a settlement that the Enforcement Staff will agree to recommend to the Commission, the Company's submission of an offer of settlement approved by the Tyco Board of Directors, and the Commission's approval of the settlement offer. Until such events have occurred, the charge is subject to change.
Further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures could have an adverse effect on us.
Management has determined that, in the past, Tyco in general suffered from:
52
While current management has implemented a broad range of governance and control procedures, and continues to evaluate and enhance controls in connection with our preparation for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we cannot provide assurance 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 foreseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with our pending litigation or investigations. Any material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from our pending investigations and litigation could require additional funding. If such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:
Additional negative publicity may adversely affect our business.
As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco was the subject of continuing negative publicity focusing on these actions. This negative publicity contributed to significant declines in the prices of our publicly traded securities in 2002 and brought increased regulatory scrutiny upon us. Additional negative publicity related to former senior corporate management's actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows and the market price of our publicly traded securities.
53
Our senior corporate management team is required to devote significant attention to matters arising from actions of prior management.
We replaced our senior corporate executives with a new team during 2002 through 2004, and all of the former members of our 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. We cannot provide assurance that this major restructuring of our Board of Directors and senior management team, and the accompanying distractions related to matters arising from the actions of prior management will not adversely affect our results of operations.
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 Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. Also, the electronic components business within Electronics is heavily dependent on the end markets it serves and therefore can be affected by the demand and capital investment patterns of these markets, which could impact the margins in this business. This cyclical impact can be amplified because some of our businesses purchase products from other of our businesses. For example, Fire and Security purchases certain products sold by Engineered Products and Services. 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 Engineered Products and Services.
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:
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.
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 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.
We have been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, certain foreign and state environmental agencies, and some third parties 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/or 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 or otherwise remediate environmental contamination. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including:
54
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 previously 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 would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $167 million to $491 million. We concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $260 million, of which $36 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $224 million is included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2005. 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 provide assurance 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 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. Disruptions to our business, end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, divestitures 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.
Foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. See Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our net revenue derived from sales in non-U.S. markets for 2004 was 47.4%, and we expect revenue from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of our net revenue. Therefore, when the U.S. Dollar strengthens in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries where we sell our products, such as the Euro, our U.S. Dollar reported revenue and income will decrease. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and may, in some instances, have a significant effect on our results of operations. Our financial statements reflect recalculations of items denominated in non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars, our functional currency.
We are a large buyer of steel and resin in the United States. We are also a large buyer of other commodities, including copper, brass, gold, paper, pulp and cotton. Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increase the costs of our products and services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
55
We monitor these exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we purchase hedges or enter into contracts to insulate our results of operations from these fluctuations. Nevertheless, changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
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. In certain circumstances, patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful plaintiffs to recover treble 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 damage awards or settlements, or become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, that could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
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 United States Food and Drug Administration 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 generally 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 was 15.1% on a trailing 12-month basis as of September 30, 2004. The attrition rate decreased slightly to an average of 15.0% on a trailing 12-month basis as of April 1, 2005. However, if attrition rates were to trend upward, 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, which could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our reputation and our ability to do business may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees or agents or those of our subsidiaries.
Tyco and its subsidiaries operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree, including, but not limited to, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Tyco's policy mandates strict compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as amended, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials. Nonetheless, we cannot provide assurance that our internal control policies and procedures will always protect us from reckless or
56
criminal acts committed by our employees that would violate U.S. and/or foreign laws, including the laws governing payments to government officials. These improper actions, however, could subject the Company to civil or criminal investigations in the United States and in other jurisdictions and could lead to penalties, including substantial monetary fines, against us or our subsidiaries and could damage our reputation and, therefore, our ability to do business.
From time to time Tyco receives information alleging improper conduct of Tyco employees, agents, and/or distributors, including conduct involving potentially improper payments to foreign government officials. Tyco's policy is to investigate that information and respond appropriately, including, if warranted, taking remedial control measures and reporting its findings to relevant law enforcement authorities.
Covenants in our debt instruments may adversely affect us.
Our bank credit agreements contain financial and other covenants, such as a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minimum levels of net worth and limits on the incurrence of liens. We have 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.
Although we believe none of these covenants are presently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot provide assurance 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 provide assurance 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. See "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCapitalization" above.
Downgrades of our debt ratings would adversely affect us.
Certain downgrades by Moody's and S&P would permit the providers of our receivables facilities, to the extent that our receivables facilities are utilized, 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 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 continue to assess 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. To date, Tyco companies have requested waivers which have been granted or are still pending with three requests
57
having been denied. However, there is no reliable process for how that waiver authority will be exercised and how the provision for such waivers will affect Tyco's business.
In addition, the U.S. federal government and various other states and municipalities have proposed or may propose legislation that would deny government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. We are unable to predict with any level of certainty the likelihood or final form in which any such proposed legislation might become law, 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.
Tyco's revenue related to direct sales to the U.S. federal government and the State of California accounted for less than 2.0% and 0.1%, respectively, of our total net revenue for 2004, and we expect those levels to continue. 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
The United States Congress has in the past considered legislation affecting the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions. In October 2004, the United States Congress enacted such legislation, which did not, however, retroactively apply to the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd. by ADT Limited. We expect various tax proposals to be introduced in the United States Congress in the future and cannot provide assurance that these proposals would not have adverse effects on Tyco if enacted. Such adverse effects could include substantially reducing the tax benefits of our corporate structure, materially increasing our tax burden or otherwise adversely affecting our business.
Negative Publicity
There is continuing 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.
We are organized under the laws of Bermuda. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Bermuda based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda.
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
58
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. Thus, 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.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "project" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the SEC, or in Tyco's communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls, regarding expectations with respect to sales, earnings, cash flows, operating efficiencies, product expansion, backlog, the consummation and benefits of acquisitions and divestitures or other matters, as well as financings and repurchases of debt or equity securities, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies. Many of these risks, uncertainties and contingencies are beyond our control, and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performances or achievements. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things:
59
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates has not changed materially from our exposure discussed in the 2004 Form 10-K. In order to manage the volatility relating to our more significant market risks, we enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, cross-currency swaps, foreign currency options, and interest rate swaps. In order to achieve an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of swaps, Tyco has swapped $3 billion notional amount of its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. At April 1, 2005 we are receiving a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.3% and paying a weighted-average variable rate of six-month LIBOR plus 1.4% under these swap arrangements.
We utilize established risk management policies and procedures in executing derivative financial instrument transactions. We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments related to interest rate sensitivity of debt obligations, intercompany cross-border transactions and anticipated non-functional currency cash flows, are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments are limited to financial institutions with at least an A/A2 long-term debt rating.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
On September 17, 2002 and December 30, 2002 we reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K the findings of the Company's investigations that identified internal control weaknesses in our accounting and financial reporting. These findings have played a significant role in our efforts to strengthen our internal control environment in such areas as acquisition accounting, restructuring, financial and legal controls, reserve utilization, incentive compensation and a number of other areas relevant to our financial statements. Tyco's senior management and Board of Directors continue their comprehensive, diligent efforts in reviewing Tyco's internal controls and policies and procedures. These efforts have been enhanced and expanded as a result of our ongoing efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Section 404"), which will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. 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.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, during 2003 and 2004, our Board of Directors and senior management initiated numerous actions to improve our corporate governance and internal control over financial reporting. We remain committed to continued improvement and during the period covered by this report, the Company continued to implement substantial changes to the tax reporting and compliance processes, including preparation of amended federal U.S. income tax returns and the hiring and training of additional tax personnel.
60
In connection with our Section 404 compliance efforts, we have invested significant resources in documenting, analyzing and testing our internal controls. As necessary, we have taken, and continue to take, actions to remediate control gaps identified including additional information technology controls, tax accounting controls, improved segregation of duties, predominantly in our smaller entities, further formalization of our controllership guide, training on generally accepted accounting principles and internal controls and enhanced monitoring controls.
Given the complex nature of the way the Company and its more than 2,300 subsidiaries have been structured over time through a series of acquisitions, the effort to fully document, evaluate and remediate controls is particularly challenging. Management cannot provide absolute assurance regarding ultimate success; however, management remains strongly committed and will continue to invest the resources that we believe are necessary to achieve Section 404 compliance certification.
Senior management believes based on its knowledge that the financial statements and other financial information included in this report fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this report. We cannot provide assurance 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 no control system can 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. We expect to continue to improve our controls with each passing quarter. 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.
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 disclosure procedures and controls are effective. There have been no significant changes in internal controls for the period covered by this report. Tyco will continue to make ongoing assessments of these controls and procedures.
61
Except as discussed below, there have been no material developments in the Company's legal proceedings since the Company filed the 2004 Form 10-K. For a description of the Company's previously reported legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in the 2004 Form 10-K.
Securities Class Actions
As previously reported in the 2004 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. Most of the securities class actions have now been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. On January 7, 2005, the Company answered the plaintiffs' consolidated complaint. On January 14, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs made a motion for class certification, which motion remains pending before the Court.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, the Company appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit the decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire to remand Brazen v. Tyco International Ltd. to the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois and Hromyak v. Tyco International Ltd., Goldfarb v. Tyco International Ltd., Mandel v. Tyco International Ltd., Myers v. Tyco International Ltd., Rappold v. Tyco International Ltd., and Schuldt v. Tyco International Ltd. to the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida. Plaintiffs moved to dismiss the Company's appeal. On December 29, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit granted plaintiffs' motion and dismissed the Company's appeal. On March 10, 2005, plaintiff Lionel I. Brazen filed an amended class action complaint purporting to represent a class of purchasers who exchanged shares of Mallinckrodt, Inc. common stock for shares of Tyco common stock pursuant to the Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus, and the Registration Statement in which it was included, in connection with the October 17, 2000 merger of Tyco and Mallinckrodt, Inc. Plaintiff names as defendants Tyco International Ltd., and certain former Tyco executives and asserts causes of action under Section 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The amended class action complaint alleges that the defendants made statements in the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus that were materially false and misleading and failed to disclose material adverse facts regarding the business and operations of Tyco.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, a class action complaint, Ezra Charitable Trust v. Tyco International Ltd., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Thereafter, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint. On December 22, 2004, plaintiff moved to amend the complaint. The proposed amendment asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against Tyco International Ltd. and Edward Breen, our current Chief Executive Officer, and seeks to add as defendants David FitzPatrick, our former Chief Financial Officer, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our former independent auditors. As against defendants Breen and FitzPatrick, the complaint asserts a cause of action under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On March 25, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted plaintiff's motion to amend. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint that day. On March 28, 2005, the Court denied defendants' motion to dismiss the original complaint, without prejudice to the defendants' ability to move against the amended complaint.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted one plaintiff's motion for appointment as lead plaintiff in Stumpf v. Tyco International Ltd. and O'Loughlin v. Tyco International Ltd. On December 10, 2004, lead plaintiff
62
Mark Newby filed a Consolidated Securities Class Action Complaint purporting to represent a class of purchasers of TyCom securities between July 26, 2000 and December 17, 2001. Plaintiff names as defendants Tyco International Ltd., TyCom, Ltd., Goldman Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated and Citigroup Inc., along with certain former Tyco and TyCom executives. The complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against Tyco, TyCom, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and certain former Tyco and TyCom executives. The complaint alleges the TyCom registration statement and prospectus were inaccurate, misleading and failed to disclose facts necessary to make the registration statement and prospectus not misleading. Further, the complaint alleges the defendants violated securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning, among other things, executive compensation, Tyco's and TyCom's finances and TyCom's business prospects. On February 18, 2005, the Company moved to dismiss the Consolidated Securities Class Action Complaint, which motion remains pending before the Court.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire assigned the case New Jersey v. Tyco to the Securities Actions pending before it. On February 11, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint against Tyco, our former auditors, and certain of our former directors and officers. As against all defendants, the amended complaint asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, for common law fraud, aiding and abetting common law fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Claims are asserted against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 24(d) of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, Sections 421-B:25(II) & (III) of the New Hampshire Uniform Securities Law, and for breaches of fiduciary duties. Claims are also asserted against certain of the individual defendants under Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and for violation of the New Jersey RICO statute; against Tyco under Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 24(c) of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, and for violation of, aiding and abetting violation of, and vicarious liability under the New Jersey RICO statute; against Tyco and certain of the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and for conspiracy to violate the New Jersey RICO statute; against Tyco, our former auditors, and certain of the individual defendants under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and for violation of, and conspiracy to violate the New Jersey RICO Statute; and against our former auditors and certain of the individual defendants for aiding and abetting violation of the New Jersey RICO Statute. Finally, claims are asserted against the individual defendants and our former auditors for aiding and abetting the individual defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties. The Second Amended Complaint asserts that the defendants violated the securities laws and otherwise engaged in fraudulent acts by making materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning, among other things, the following: unauthorized and improper compensation of certain of our former executives; their improper use of our funds for personal benefit and their improper self-dealing in real estate.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation was notified that Hall v. Kozlowski may be an action that should be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Thereafter, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On March 16, 2005, Tyco International (US) Inc. answered plaintiff's amended complaint.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, plaintiff moved to remand Davis v. Kozlowski to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. On March 17, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted plaintiff's motion to remand and denied defendants' motion to
63
dismiss. On March 31, 2005, the Company moved for reconsideration of the Court's remand order, which motion remains pending before the Court.
On April 29, 2005, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Stevenson v. Tyco International Ltd., et. al. Plaintiff names as additional defendants our current Chief Executive Officer, Edward Breen, our former Chief Financial Officer, David FitzPatrick, our current Executive Vice President and General Counsel, William Lytton, current members of Tyco's Board of Directors including, Dennis Blair, George Buckley, Bruce Gordon, John Krol, Carl McCall, Mackey McDonald, Brendan O'Neill, Sandra Wijnberg, and Jerome York, as well as former members of Tyco's Board of Directors, including, Michael Ashcroft, Joshua Berman, Richard Bodman, John Fort, Steven Foss, Wendy Lane, James Pasman, Peter Slusser and Joseph Welch. The complaint asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) and Rule 10(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that defendants made material misrepresentations that resulted in artificially deflated stock price. Tyco has sought an order from the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
As previously reported in our periodic filings, on October 14, 2004, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire dismissed the Consolidated Derivative action then pending. On November 12, 2004, Plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire seeking to reverse the district court's dismissal. On February 15, 2005, the plaintiff-appellant filed her brief on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
ERISA Litigation
As previously reported in our periodic filings, 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. The complaints purported to bring claims on behalf of the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plans and the participants therein. On January 12, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire denied, without prejudice, the Company's motion to dismiss certain additional individual defendants from the action. On January 20, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which motion remains pending before the Court. On January 27, 2005, the Company answered the plaintiffs' consolidated complaint. Also, on January 28, 2005, the Company and certain individual defendants filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's January 12, 2005 order, insofar as it related to the Tyco (US) Retirement Committee, which remains pending before the Court.
Tyco Litigation Against Former Senior Management
As previously reported in our periodic filings, we have filed a number of civil complaints against certain of our former directors and executive officers for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct. In addition, as previously disclosed in our periodic filings, we have filed a civil complaint against our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, L. Dennis Kozlowski, and our former Chief Financial Officer, Mark H. Swartz, pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for disgorgement of short-swing profits from prohibited transactions in our common shares believed to exceed $40 million. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred each of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

Subpoenas and Document Requests From Governmental Entities; Investigations
As previously reported in our periodic filings, we and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC, the District Attorney of New York County, the United States Department of Labor and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls.
During the quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $50 million, which represents the Company's best estimate of the amount in fines and penalties we believe the Company will likely pay to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. The Company is engaged in discussions with the SEC's Division of Enforcement to resolve the matters raised in the SEC's investigation. Final resolution of these matters is subject to a number of uncertainties, including finalizing the terms of a settlement that the Enforcement Staff will agree to recommend to the Commission, the Company's submission of an offer of settlement approved by the Tyco Board of Directors, and the Commission's approval of the settlement offer. Until such events have occurred, the charge is subject to change.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, we received an order from the SEC to report facts and circumstances involving our participation, if any, in the United Nations Oil for Food Program governing sales of Iraqi oil. We have provided information responsive to the order and will fully cooperate in ongoing investigations.
Intellectual Property Litigation
As previously reported in our periodic filings, we are party to a number of patent infringement and antitrust actions. Tyco has assessed the status of these matters and has recorded liabilities related to certain of these matters where appropriate.
Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. ("Nellcor"), plaintiffs/counterdefendants 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 is a subsidiary of Tyco. 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 $135 million in damages for Nellcor's alleged infringement through December 31, 2003. After hearing post-trial motions, the district court issued an order on July 14, 2004 which (i) denied Masimo's request to impose an injunction on the sale of pulse oximeters; (ii) reversed the jury finding of patent infringement for one of the four patents at issue; (iii) ruled that a second patent was unenforceable due to Masimo's inequitable conduct in seeking the patent; and (iv) overturned the jury finding that the infringement was "willful." On August 6, 2004, the district court entered final judgment that included additional damages of $30 million for Nellcor's alleged infringement from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004. Nellcor is appealing the jury's infringement finding on the remaining two Masimo patents to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The briefing for the appeal is completed. The Court of Appeals has not yet scheduled oral argument for the appeal. Tyco 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, Tyco 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. Also in connection with this patent litigation, Nellcor asserts that Masimo infringes a second Nellcor patent (U.S. Patent No. 4,934,372the "'372 patent"). On April 8, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in Nellcor's favor that reversed the district court's summary judgment
65
finding of noninfringement regarding the '372 patent claim against Masimo. The Court of Appeals remanded Nellcor's '372 patent claim to the district court for further proceedings.
Masimo Corporation v. Tyco Healthcare Group LP ("Tyco Healthcare") and Mallinckrodt, Inc. 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 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 in this case began on February 22, 2005. The jury returned its verdict on March 21, 2005, and awarded Masimo $140 million in damages. The damages are automatically trebled under the antitrust statute to an award of $420 million. Masimo's attorneys are entitled to an award of reasonable fees and costs in addition to the verdict amount. Tyco 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, Tyco intends to vigorously pursue all available means to achieve such reversal. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to this damage award.
As previously reported in our periodic filings, Applied Medical Resources Corp. ("Applied Medical") v. United States Surgical ("U.S. Surgical") is a patent infringement action in which U.S. Surgical, a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant. In February 2002, the United States 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 district court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit. The United States 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 in the district court concluded on July 27, 2004. The jury awarded Applied Medical $44 million in damages and returned a finding that the earlier infringement was willful, giving the district court discretion to enhance those damages to up to treble the damages awarded to Applied Medical by the jury. On October 1, 2004, the district court issued post-trial rulings that (i) denied U.S. Surgical's motion to set aside the jury's finding on willfulness; and (ii) granted Applied Medical's motion for enhanced damages, enhancing the jury's damages award by 25%, or $11 million. On January 27, 2005, the district court awarded Applied Medical $10 million in costs, prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees. Thus, Applied Medical's total award is $65 million. U.S. Surgical will appeal the damages award and the willfulness finding to the court of appeals. Tyco has recorded a liability related to this matter and does not expect to incur material losses beyond what has already been 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. On February 7, 2005, the district court granted U.S. Surgical's motion for summary judgment. Applied Medical is appealing the summary judgment ruling.
Environmental Litigation
As previously reported in our periodic filings, on certain dates in 2002 and 2003, a business within Engineered Products and Services reported purportedly incorrect data relating to landfill gas
66
monitoring at four landfill sites in Ohio. To our knowledge, no action or proceeding has been filed by any state or federal authority in this matter to date.
We have been in discussions with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regarding historic environmental compliance issues at a facility sold by Tyco in 2000. At this time, although these governmental authorities have not commenced any formal legal proceedings, we believe such proceedings are contemplated by these governmental authorities, and that such proceedings may result in potential monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more. However, we do not believe that any such monetary sanctions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Commercial Litigation
As previously reported in our periodic filings, one of our subsidiaries is party to a franchise dispute. The Company has assessed the status of this matter and does not expect to incur material losses beyond what has already been accrued.
Asbestos Matters
As previously reported in our periodic filings, Tyco and some of its subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in Healthcare and Engineered Products and Services. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. The Company will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and the Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims. When appropriate, the Company settles claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of April 1, 2005 there were approximately 16,000 asbestos liability cases pending against the Company and our subsidiaries.
Other Matters
As previously reported in our periodic filings, 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, results of operations or cash flows.
