With fiscal 20022003 revenues of $10,637.6$11,292.8 million, our Fire and Security Services businesses currently comprise approximately31% of our total revenues. Fiscal 2002 and 2001 revenues totaled $10,639.0 million or 30% of our total revenues from continuing operations.and $7,473.0 million or 22% of our total revenues, respectively. The group's products and services include: -

Electronic Security Services

        We are the world's leading provider of electronic security products and services and event monitoring, which includes the monitoring of burglar alarms, fire alarms, heating systems, medical alert systems, such as

1



our Personal Emergency Response Systems, and other activities where around-the-clock monitoring and response isare required. We offer regular inspection and maintenance services to ensure that systems will function properly and can be upgraded as technology or risk profiles change. We are also a leading supplier of electronic security solutions to the retail, commercial and industrial market places, through electronic article surveillance,marketplaces, offering anti-theft, video surveillance, access control, electronic asset protection and security management systems, products and services. These and other security services are provided principally under thethrough our ADT trade name.operating companies.

        Electronically monitored security systems are tailored to our customers' specific needs and involve the installation and use on a customer's premises of devices designed for intrusion detection and access control, as well as reaction to various occurrences or conditions, such as movement, fire, smoke, flooding, environmental conditions, industrial processes and other hazards. These detection devices are connected to microprocessor-based control panels, which communicate to a monitoring center located(located remotely from the customer's premises,premises) where alarm and supervisory signals are received and recorded. In most systems, control panels can identify the nature of the alarm and the areas within a building where the sensor was activated. Depending upon the type of service for which the subscriber has contracted, monitoring center personnel respond to alarms by relaying appropriate information to the local fire or police departments, notifying the customer or taking other appropriate action, such as dispatching employees to the customer's premises. In some instances, the customer may monitor the system at its own premises or the system may be connected to local fire or police departments.

        Whether systems are monitored by the customer at its premises or connected to one of our monitoring centers, we usually provide support and maintenance through service contracts. Systems installed at commercial customers' premises may be owned by us or by our customer. We usually retain ownership of standard residential systems, but more sophisticated residential systems are normally purchased by our customers.

        We market our electronic security services to commercial and residential customers through both a direct sales force and an authorized dealer network. Duringnetwork, the ADT dealer program. Throughout fiscal 2002,2003, we refocussedre-focused our authorizedADT dealer program, encouraging growth in some geographic areas while curtailing activities in others, as part of an enhanced focus onorder to increase the return on investment.investment of accounts purchased through the program. A separate national accounts sales force services mostlarge commercial customers. We also utilize advertising, telemarketing and direct mail to market our services.

        We provide residential electronic security services primarily in North America and Europe, with a growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Our commercial customers include financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses, federal, state and local governments, defense installations, and health care and educational facilities. We provide residential electronic security services primarily in North America and Europe, with a growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Our customers are often prompted to purchase security systems by their insurance carriers, which may offer lower insurance premium rates if a security system is installed or require that a system be installed as a condition to coverage. It has been our experience that the majority of commercial and residential monitoring contracts are generally renewed after their initial terms. ContractIn general, relocations account for the largest number of residential discontinuances occur principally as a resultwhile business closures comprise the largest single factor impacting commercial contract attrition.

        Through our acquisition of customer relocation or closure. We out-source mostSensormatic in November 2001, we became the leader in anti-theft systems. The majority of the world's leading retailers use our systems to protect against shoplifting and employee theft. We manufacture these electronic componentsarticle surveillance systems and generally sell them through our direct sales force in North and South America, Europe, Australia and Asia. A growing trend in the loss protection industry is for security labels to be applied to goods at the point of manufacture. In most cases, we install.sell these labels directly to the manufacturers or their packaging agents. We also develop and distribute access control and video surveillance systems, which are sold through direct and distributor channels.

        We manufacture certain alarm, detection and activation devices and central monitoring station equipment both for installation by us and for sale to other installers.installers, although we out-source some of the electronic components we install.

        The security business in North America is highly competitive, with a number of major firms and some 12,000 smaller regional and local companies. Similarly, Tyco competes with several national

2



companies and several thousand regional and local companies in Europe, the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and South Africa. Competition is based primarily on price in 2 relation to quality of service. We believe that the quality of our electronic security servicesservice is higher than that of many of our competitors and, therefore, our prices may be higher than those charged by our competitors. FIRE PROTECTION CONTRACTING AND SERVICES

Our fire protection systems are purchased by owners, architects, construction engineers and mechanical or general contractors. In recent years, the retrofitting of existing buildings has grown as a result of legislation mandating the installation of fire protection systems, especially in hotels, healthcare facilities, educational establishments and other buildings accessible to the general public. We continue to focus on system maintenance and inspection, which have become more significant parts of our business.

        The majority of the fire suppression systems installed by Tyco are water-based. However, we are also the world's leading provider of custom designed special hazard fire protection systems which incorporate specialized extinguishing agents such as foams, dry chemicals and gases.gases, in addition to spill control products designed to absorb, neutralize and solidify spills of hazardous materials.

We use computer-aided-design technology that reduces the time required to design systems for specific applications and coordinates the fabrication and delivery of system components. We also have fabrication plants worldwide that cut, thread and weld pipe, which is then shipped with other prefabricated components to job sites for installation. Our Ansul subsidiary manufactures and sells various lines of dry chemical, liquid and gaseous portable fire extinguishers and related products for industrial, government, commercial and consumer applications. Ansul also manufactures and sells special hazard fire suppression systems designed for use in restaurants, marine applications, mining applications, the petrochemical industry and confined industrial and commercial spaces housing electronic and other delicate equipment. Ansul also manufactures spill control products designed to absorb, neutralize and solidify spills of hazardous materials.

        Competition in the fire protection contracting business varies by region. In North America, Tyco competes with hundreds of smaller contractors on a regional or local basis for the installation of fire protection, alarm and detection systems. In Europe, Tyco competes with many regional or local contractors on a country-by-country basis. In Australia, New Zealand and Asia, we compete with a few large fire protection contractors, as well as with many smaller regional or local companies.

Within the Fire and Security Services segment, backlog increased primarily due to an increase in recurring revenue in force as a result of growth in certain geographies in ADT's dealer program, offset in part byfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

        Within the curtailment, and in certain end-markets, the termination of the ADT dealer program. Backlog also increased due to growth at our U.K. Fire Protection business and the acquisition of Sensormatic, which resulted in an addition of approximately $57 million to backlog.Electronics segment, backlog remained level. Backlog for Engineered Products and Services increased primarily due to acquisitions completed in fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2001 backlog for this segment has been increased by $175.1 million as a result of certain long term contracts not previously reported offset by an adjustment to reflect net revenues instead of gross revenues at Tyco Infrastructure Services. Of the $643.4 million decrease within the Electronics segment, backlog decreased approximately $500 million as there were noseveral new contracts for undersea cable communication systems signed in fiscal 2002 asand, to a result of the downturn in the telecommunications industry.

fire protection systems or for distribution. OurThe majority of our electronic security systems are purchased from suppliers and are manufactured to our specification. Materials are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world. There have been no shortages in materials which have had a material adverse effect on our businesses. We actively manageFrom time to time, we may decide to hedge our exposure to prices in base and precious metals by the usage of forward contracts with banks that have at least an A+/A1 credit rating by SStandard & PPoor's and Moody's. In addition, long-term supply contracts, using fixed or variable pricing, are entered into in order to manage our exposure to potential supply disruptions. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Patents and Trademarks

        We own a portfolio of patents, which principally relate to electrical and electronic products, healthcare and specialty products, fire protection devices, electronic security systems, flow control products, pipe, tubing and tubingcable manufacture, and cable manufacture.plastic and adhesive products. We also own a portfolio of trademarks and are a licensee underof various patents.patents and trademarks. All product names indicated in CAPS throughout the document are trademarks owned by, or licensed to, the Company or its subsidiaries. Although these have been of value and are expected to continue to be of value in the future, in the opinion of management the loss of any single patent or group of patents would not materially affect the conduct of the business in any of our segments. In addition, management believes that the likelihood of losing key trademarks is remote. In several cases, one product may be sold under more than one tradename, which also helps minimize risk. In addition, management believes thatpatent or trademark minimizing our risk of loss of business due to the likelihoodloss of losing key patents or trademarks is remote.such intellectual property. The patents and licenses have estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.

Employees

        Tyco employed approximately 267,500258,600 people at September 30, 2002,2003, of which approximately 113,600102,900 are employed in the United States and 153,900155,700 are outside the United States. We have collective bargaining agreements with labor unions covering approximately 66,90048,200 employees at certain of our North American, European and Asia-Pacific businesses. We believe that our relations with the labor unions are generally satisfactory. In April 1994, following lengthy negotiations, contracts between our Grinnell subsidiary and a local union of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters was not renewed. Employees in those locations, representing 64% of Grinnell Fire Protection's North American union employees at the time, went on strike. The strike ended in January 2001. In January 2002, Grinnell Fire Protection and Simplex Time Recorder Co. began doing business as SimplexGrinnell LP (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco). SimplexGrinnell has reinstated relevant terms of the expired collective bargaining agreement and has resumed negotiations with the local union over a new agreement. SimplexGrinnell is currently participatingmade the majority of payments necessary in a proceeding to determine what payments are necessaryorder to compensate certain employees (approximately 2% of SimplexGrinnell's employee population) for losses they may have experienced as a result of changes in their wages and benefits that Grinnell implemented in 1994. The action1994 and the company continues in proceedings to resolve all outstanding issues relative to the employees impacted. Despite the Company's good faith attempts to continue negotiations, the Union called another strike in September 2003. This strike has not had and is not expected to have, any material adverse effect on our business or results ofthe Company's operations. PROPOSED LEGISLATION

Proposed Legislation and Governmental Scrutiny

        In the normal course of business, we provide services and sell products to various government agencies. Changes in legislation or governmental policies can have an impact on our worldwide operations. WeIn addition, we have been the focus of increased governmental scrutiny arising from actions taken by prior management. For example, we are currently assessing the potential impact of various legislative proposals that would deny U.S. federal government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. Tyco becameabroad, and we recently responded to a Bermuda-based companyGovernmental Services Administration ("GSA") action due to concerns the GSA has expressed as a result of the alleged serious criminal

12



misconduct of our former CEO, CFO and General Counsel. The legislative proposals could cover the 1997 business combinationacquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, andby 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). Currently, Tyco's revenues related, as a result of which ADT changed its name to U.S. federal governmentTyco International Ltd. and became the parent to the Tyco group. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the State of California adopted legislation that purports to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other foreign-chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. Although the California law provides that waivers may be issued permitting such companies to participate in state contracts account for less than 3% of net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.under certain circumstances, it is unclear how that waiver authority will be exercised. In addition, various stateother states and other municipalities in the U.S. have proposed similar legislation. There also is also other similarsimilarly proposed tax legislation, which could substantially increase our corporate income taxes and, consequently, decrease future net income and increase our future cash outlay for taxes.

        Tyco's revenues related to U.S. federal government and California state contracts account for less than 2% and 0.1%, respectively, of total net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. We are unable to predict, with any level of certainty, the likelihood or final form in which any proposed legislation might become law, or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any such future legislative enactments.enactments or the impact such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our governmental business or on non-governmental customers' willingness to do business with us. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the impact on us of any proposed legislation or regulatory scrutiny in this area.area and can provide no assurances that they will not be materially adverse.

        See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" for a description of investigations initiated by certain government agencies. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Environmental Matters

        We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things, the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the ground, air or water;environment; and the health and safety of our employees. ComplianceThe cost of compliance with environmental laws, however, has not had, and based on current information and applicable laws, is not expected to have, a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" for a description of a pending legal proceeding regarding alleged Clean Water Act violations involving one of our businesses within the Electronics segment. 12

        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. In addition to clean-upcleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of or exposure to hazardous substances. We have received notification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and from state environmental agencies, that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous wastes require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may berequire that we reimburse the basisgovernment or otherwise pay for monetary sanctions.the cost of cleanup of those sites and for natural resource damages. We have projects underway at several current and former manufacturing facilities to investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations.

13


        The ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities is difficult to predict given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. Based upon our experience, current information and applicable laws, we believe that it is probable that we will incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $160$142 million to $460$451 million. As of September 30, 2002,2003, we believe that the best estimate within this range is approximately $248$270 million, of which $221$32 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $27$238 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Included within the $248 million is $193 million related to the acquisition of Mallinckrodt. In view of our financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $248$270 million, we believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts or additional monetary sanctionsdamages will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity. 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 CHANGES AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. ADDITIONAL RISKS NOT CURRENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY BELIEVE ARE IMMATERIAL ALSO MAY IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND OUR LIQUIDITY. RISKS RELATING TO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AT TYCO CONTINUING NEGATIVE PUBLICITY MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. As a result of actions taken by our former senior management, Tyco has been the subject of continuing negative publicity focusing on former senior management's actions. Some of these press reports have suggested that the accounting treatment of several of our prior acquisitions may have been improper, that certain of our operating companies may have improperly conducted business or recorded revenues and assets and that information may have been withheld from the SEC in connection with an inquiry into our accounting practices. As a result of this negative publicity, the prices of our publicly traded securities have declined significantly and we have experienced reluctance on the part of certain customers and suppliers to continue working with us on customary terms. A number of suppliers have requested letters of credit to support our purchase orders. We also believe that many of our loyal employees are operating under stressful conditions. Continuing negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity and the market price of our publicly traded securities. PENDING LITIGATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. As a result of actions taken by our former senior management, Tyco and certain members of our former senior management are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging 13 violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, a number of derivative actions and several ERISA claims, and are subject to an SEC inquiry and investigations by the District Attorney of New York County and the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire. We recently signed a consent agreement with the State of New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation that resolved the Bureau's investigation into the conduct of Tyco's previous management, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a total of $5 million as an administrative settlement to the State of New Hampshire and paid $100,000 to cover the cost of the Bureau's investigation. We may be obliged to indemnify our directors and our former directors and officers who also are named as defendants in some or all of these matters. In addition, our insurance carrier may decline coverage, or such coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, if any, in some or all of these matters. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and we are vigorously defending these matters. However, we are currently unable to estimate what our ultimate liability, if any, in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses in aggregate amounts that are material. OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM IS NEW TO TYCO AND IS REQUIRED TO DEVOTE SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION TO MATTERS ARISING FROM ACTIONS OF PRIOR MANAGEMENT. In the past few months, we have replaced our senior management team with entirely new members and our entire board of directors determined not to stand for reelection at our next annual general meeting of shareholders. It will take some time for our new management team and our new board of directors to learn about our various businesses and to develop strong working relationships with our cadre of operating managers at our various subsidiary companies. Our new senior management team's ability to complete this process is hindered by their need to spend significant time and effort dealing with internal and external investigations, developing effective corporate governance procedures, strengthening reporting lines and reviewing internal controls. During this period and in order to complete this process, our new executives will be in part dependent on advisors, including certain former directors. We cannot assure you that this major restructuring of our board of directors and senior management team will not adversely affect our results of operations, at least in the near term, especially in light of the significant attention they are required to devote to such other matters. CONTINUED SCRUTINY RESULTING FROM ONGOING GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS. We and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. 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 or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that the effects and result of these various investigations will not be material and adverse to our business, financial condition and liquidity. Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are routinely examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting such proposed deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. We believe but cannot assure you that ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 14 ONGOING SEC STAFF REVIEW As of the filing date of this Form 10-K, we continue to be engaged in a dialogue with the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, as part of a routine review of our periodic filings. While we believe that we have resolved the material accounting issues prior to filings there can be no assurance that the resolution of the remaining comments issued by the Staff will not necessitate one or more amendments to this or prior periodic reports. INSTANCES OF BREAKDOWNS IN OUR INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON US. We learned of instances of breakdowns of certain internal controls during fiscal 2002. This began in January 2002 when our Board of Directors learned of an unauthorized payment to our former Lead Director, Frank E. Walsh, and eventually led to the Board replacing our senior management team. These instances included abuse of our employee relocation loan programs, unapproved bonuses, attempted unauthorized credits to employee loans, undisclosed compensation arrangements, unreported perquisites, self-dealing transactions and other misuses of corporate trust, and have been widely reported in the press. We believe the publicity resulting from such instances negatively impacted our results of operations and cash flow in fiscal 2002. In addition, such publicity contributed to a deterioration in our financial condition as we lost access to the commercial paper market and credit ratings on our term debt declined during fiscal 2002 from ratings as of the end of fiscal 2001. See Item 14. "Controls and Procedures". RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS 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 markets can be affected adversely by the general cyclical pattern of those industries. For example, in our Fire and Security Services segment, demand for our products and services is significantly affected by levels of new home and commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. Most importantly, our core electronics business is heavily dependent on the end markets it serves and therefore has been affected by the weak demand and declining capital investment in the communications, computer, consumer electronics, industrial machine and aerospace industries. This cyclical impact can be amplified because some of our business segments purchase products from other business segments. For example, our Fire and Security Services segment purchases sprinkler and other components for fire protection systems from our Engineered Products and Services segment. Therefore, a drop in demand for our fire prevention products, due to lower new residential or office construction or other factors, can cause a drop in demand for certain of our engineered products. OUR OPERATIONS EXPOSE US TO THE RISK OF MATERIAL ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things: the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges into the ground, air or water; and the health and safety of our employees. 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. In addition to clean-up actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of or exposure to hazardous substances. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations sold by us. As described under "Business--Environmental Matters", we are involved in a number of projects to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and various current and former manufacturing facilities. 15 The ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities 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. Based upon our experience, current information and applicable laws, we believe that it is probable that we will incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $160 million to $460 million. As of September 30, 2002, we believe that the best estimate within this range is approximately $248 million, of which $221 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $27 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We can not assure you that the cost of cleanup will not exceed our estimates 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. The Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut initiated in June 2001 an investigation of one of the subsidiaries in our Electronics segment. Subsequently, we were notified that the subsidiary was the target of a federal Grand Jury investigation concerning alleged Clean Water Act violations. We understand that the government investigation concerns manufacturing facilities in Manchester and Stafford, Connecticut. We also understand that employees at these plants are subjects of the investigation. A former supervisor at the Manchester plant (who is no longer an employee) has pleaded guilty to a felony violation of the Clean Water Act. We do not believe that the investigation will have a material impact on the financial condition of our company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. We are cooperating fully in the investigation. WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL IMPAIRMENT CHARGES IN CONNECTION WITH TYCO TELECOMMUNICATIONS. The undersea cable network industry continues to experience massive overcapacity, extensive system underutilization and very competitive pricing. We expect that the insolvency of various industry participants will create further downward pressure on prices. We periodically review the carrying value of Tyco Telecommunication's systems to determine if it exceeds their fair value. As a result of these reviews we recorded a charge of $2.5 billion in fiscal 2002 related to the impairment of the Tyco Global Network. We cannot assure you that continuing pricing pressure, or technological advances that may cause Tyco Telecommunication's systems to become obsolete, will not require us to recognize further impairments in the future. The amount of the TGN remaining on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2002 was $581.6 million. OUR SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. We are highly leveraged. As of September 30, 2002, our total indebtedness was $24,205.8 million, our shareholders' equity was $24,790.6 million and our ratio of debt to equity was 1 to 1. We must repay $7,719.0 million of debt maturing within the next fiscal year. Based on our current projected cash flows, we believe that we have sufficient funds to repay debt maturing within the next fiscal year. However, we intend to refinance a portion of our indebtedness. Our ability to refinance this indebtedness will depend, in part, on events beyond our control, including the results of ongoing litigation and governmental investigations and actions taken by rating agencies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could: - require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes; - increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; - limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; 16 - restrict us from making strategic acquisitions, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities; and - increase the difficulty or cost to us of refinancing such indebtedness. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AT THE SAME RATE AS WE HAVE IN THE RECENT PAST DUE TO REDUCED ACQUISITION ACTIVITY AND CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS. Acquisitions of complementary products and businesses have been an important part of Tyco's growth in recent years. Our current business strategy and near-term actions will focus on conserving cash and enhancing internal growth within our existing businesses. Our business requires substantial capital expenditures for new technology and product innovation, expansion or replacement of facilities and equipment, compliance with environmental laws and regulations and other operations. In addition, we will require access to significant capital in order to repay substantial indebtedness which matures in fiscal 2003 and in future periods. This reduction in acquisition activity and concentration of available capital resources to repay indebtedness, combined with our reduced share price, will limit our ability to make acquisitions of other companies and to purchase new contracts under ADT's dealer program. As a result, we anticipate that we will not experience growth in the foreseeable future that is comparable to the growth we experienced in the recent past. THE PRICE OF TYCO COMMON SHARES HAS DECLINED CONSIDERABLY IN THE LAST YEAR AND MAY FLUCTUATE WIDELY IN THE FUTURE. The market price of the Tyco common shares has declined considerably over the past year. During the same period, there have been disclosures regarding allegations of breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and other wrongful conduct on the part of certain former officers and directors of Tyco. See "Price Range of Common Shares and Dividends." In addition, our common shares, and the global stock markets generally, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations over the past year. We cannot assure you that the price of our common shares will not decline further or will not continue to experience significant price and volume fluctuations. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, earnings below analysts' estimates and financial performance and other activities of other publicly traded companies in our industries could cause the price of the common shares to fluctuate substantially. PROPOSED LEGISLATION AND NEGATIVE PUBLICITY REGARDING BERMUDA COMPANIES COULD INCREASE OUR TAX BURDEN AND AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS. Several members of the United States Congress have introduced legislation relating to the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions, which could be deemed to cover our merger in 1997 with ADT, as a result of which Tyco became a Bermuda company. If enacted, any such legislation could have the effect of substantially reducing or eliminating the tax benefits of our structure and materially increasing our future tax burden or otherwise adversely affecting our business. Other federal and state legislative proposals, if enacted, could limit or even prohibit our eligibility to be awarded U.S. or state government contracts. We are unable to predict the likelihood or final form in which any proposed legislation might become law or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any such future legislative enactments. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the impact on us of any proposed legislation in this area. There has recently been negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, U.S. companies' use of, or relocation to, offshore jurisdictions, including Bermuda. As a Bermuda company this negative publicity could harm our reputation and impair our ability to generate new business if companies or government agencies decline to do business with us as a result of the negative public image of Bermuda companies or the possibility of our clients receiving negative media attention from doing business with a Bermuda company. 17 AVAILABLE INFORMATION

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on November 27, 2002, the State of New Jersey, on behalf of several state pension funds, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Tyco, our auditors, and certain of our former directors and officers. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On March 24, 2003, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. By order dated March 26, 2003, the District Court of New Hampshire assigned the case to the Securities Actions pending before it.

        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.

The plaintiff in BRAZEN has also made a motion to remand the action to state court in Illinois. The 18 defendants filed a motion to remove the PREMUROSO action from state court to United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. The plaintiff has not yet responded to the defendants' motion. However, the plaintiff in the PREMUROSO action subsequently voluntarily dismissed their case without prejudice.

The action seeks disgorgement of profits, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. SUBPOENAS AND DOCUMENT REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES WeThe Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

Subpoenas, Document Requests From Governmental Entities and Criminal Proceedings

        As previously disclosed in our periodic filings, we and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. We are cooperating fully with these investigations and are complying with these requests.

        On October 23, 2002, we signed a consent agreement with the Bureau of Securities Regulation of the State of New Hampshire that resolved the Bureau's investigation into the conduct of Tyco's previous management. Under the terms of the consent agreement, we will pay a total of $5 million as an administrative settlement to the State of New Hampshire and have paid $100,000 to cover the cost of the Bureau's investigation. We signed the consent agreement without admitting any wrongdoing with respect to the Bureau's allegations.

        On December 17, 2002, Frank E. Walsh, Jr., a former director of Tyco, pleaded guilty to a felony violation of New York law in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (New York County) and settled a civil action for violation of federal securities laws brought by the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Both the felony charge and the civil action were brought against Mr. Walsh based on a $20 million payment by Tyco, $10 million of which went to Mr. Walsh with the balance going to a charity of which Mr. Walsh is trustee. The payment was purportedly made for Mr. Walsh's assistance in arranging our acquisition of The CIT Group, Inc. The felony charge accused Mr. Walsh of intentionally concealing information concerning the payment from Tyco's directors and shareholders while engaged in the sale of Tyco securities in the State of New York. The SEC action alleged that Mr. Walsh knew that the registration statement covering the sale of Tyco securities as part of the CIT acquisition contained a material misrepresentation concerning fees payable in connection with the acquisition. Pursuant to the plea, Mr. Walsh agreed to pay $20 million in restitution to Tyco and to pay other fines to the State of New York. Pursuant to the settlement, Mr. Walsh consented to an order permanently enjoining him from violating provisions of the federal securities laws, requiring him to pay restitution to Tyco and permanently barring him from serving as an officer or director of a publicly held company. Tyco received Mr. Walsh's restitution payment of $20 million.

        On February 3, 2003, the New York County District Attorney announced a superseding indictment against Mark Belnick. This new indictment added three additional charges against Mr. Belnick, including grand larceny in the first degree, a felony violation of New York State's securities law (the

22



Martin Act), and an additional charge of falsifying business records. The superseding indictment includes the original six counts of falsifying business records which had been included in the original indictment filed in September 2002. The new grand larceny count charges Mr. Belnick with stealing $12 million from Tyco by accepting payment of a special bonus, in addition to his salary and annual bonus, that had not been approved by the Board of Directors. The Martin Act count charges Mr. Belnick with participation in a scheme to defraud, whereby Messrs. Belnick, Kozlowski, Swartz, and others knowingly made false representations concerning Tyco's financial condition in order to obtain money for themselves. There is no trial date yet scheduled for the criminal charges against Mr. Belnick.

        On February 19, 2003, a federal grand jury in Concord, New Hampshire returned an indictment against Mark Swartz accusing him of failing to report a bonus that he received from Tyco. In particular, Swartz allegedly received a $12.5 million bonus in 1999, but did not include this bonus on December 17, 2002. 21 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION APPLIED MEDICAL RESOURCES CORP. V.his tax return. On motion of the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the court dismissed the indictment for lack of venue, without prejudice to subsequent prosecution of the action in another venue.

        The United States Department of Labor served document subpoenas on Tyco and Fidelity Management Trust Company for documents concerning the administration of the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plans. The current focus of the Department's inquiry remains the losses allegedly experienced by the plans due to investments in our stock. The Department of Labor has authority to bring suit on behalf of the plans and their participants against those acting as fiduciaries to the plans for recovery of losses and additional penalties, although it has not informed us of any intention to do so. The company is continuing to cooperate with the Department's investigation.

Intellectual Property Litigation

        Applied Medical Resources Corp. v. U.S. SURGICAL CORP.Surgical Corp. is a patent infringement action in which U.S. Surgical Corp., a subsidiary of Tyco, is the defendant. In February 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California held that U.S. Surgical's VERSASEALVersaseal universal seal system, contained in certain surgical trocar and access devices manufactured by U.S. Surgical, infringed certain of the plaintiff's patents. The court entered a permanent injunction against U.S. Surgical, based upon infringement of one of the three patents involved in the suit,suit. The Federal Circuit affirmed the appeal ofdistrict court's permanent injunction ruling in September 2003 for the Versaseal product, which is pendingno longer on the market. In October 2003, the U.S. District Court ruled in U.S. Surgical's favor holding that two other patents involved in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.case were invalid and unenforceable. A trial on invalidity ofdamages for the other two patents and on damagesearlier infringement ruling is currently scheduled for April 2003. If there is ultimately a determination of liability, theJanuary 2004. The amount of damages will be strongly contested by us. We estimate that damages could range from $32 million to $83 million, with the possibility of enhanced damages up to treble damages if there is a finding of willful infringement. We currently do not expect, however, to incur losses beyond what we have already accrued. ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION

        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. 5,385,553. Applied Medical seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages, including enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement. Applied Medical has recently filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, for which a hearing will be held on or after December 8, 2003. Tyco has not yet estimated the damages to which Applied Medical may be entitled, nor has the effect of the grant of a preliminary injunction been assessed.

Environmental Investigation

        As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,periodic filings, we became aware in June 2001 that the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut had initiated in June 2001 an investigation of one of the subsidiariesa subsidiary in our Electronics segment. Subsequently, we were notified that the subsidiary was the target of a federal Grand Jury investigation concerning alleged Clean Water Act violations. We understand that the

23



government investigation concerns manufacturing facilitiesplants in Manchester and Stafford, Connecticut. We also understandConnecticut, and that employeesthe Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection has referred the matter to the Connecticut Attorney General's Office which is conducting a parallel civil investigation which is likely to result in the imposition of a civil penalty, the amount of which cannot be estimated at these plants are subjectsthis time. Three former employees of the investigation. A former supervisor at TPCG's Manchester plant (who is no longer an employee) hasplants have each pleaded guilty to a felony violation of the Clean Water Act. We do not believe that the investigationany fines or penalties will have a material impact on the financial condition of Tyco and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. We are cooperating fully in the investigation. See also

        On October 9, 2003, the discussions under Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection filed a complaint in the Hartford Superior Court,Commissioner v. Printed Circuits, Inc. f/k/a Tyco Printed Circuit Group, alleging the company exceeded its permitted electroplating wastewater discharge limits between December 2000 and July 2002, exceeded its permitted stormwater discharge limits between October 2000 and October 2001, and failed to properly operate and maintain wastewater collection and treatment systems, thereby causing discharges in excess of permitted effluent limits. We are unable to estimate what our ultimate liability may be and it is possible that we will be subject to injunctive orders and be required to pay civil penalties not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars per day for each violation.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Information concerning certain relationships and related transactions is hereby incorporated by reference to our definitive proxy statement, which will be filed with the Commission within 120 days after the close of our fiscal year. ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESProcedures

        We learned of instances of breakdowns of certain internal controls during fiscal 2002. This began in January 2002, whenAs a result, our Board of Directors learned of an unauthorized payment to our former Lead Director, Frank E. Walsh, and eventually led to the Board replacing our senior management team. These instances included abuse of our employee relocation loan programs, unapproved bonuses, attempted unauthorized credits to employee loans, undisclosed compensation arrangements, unreported perquisites, self-dealing transactions and other misuses of corporate trust, and have been widely reported in the press. We believe the publicity resulting from such instances negatively impacted our results of operations and cash flow in fiscal 2002. In addition, such publicity contributed to a deterioration in our financial condition as we lost access to the commercial paper market and credit ratings on our term debt declined during fiscal 2002 from ratings as of the end of fiscal 2001. Our former Chief Executive Officer resigned on June 3, 2002, our former Chief Corporate Counsel was dismissed on June 10, 2002 and our former Chief Financial Officer resigned on August 1, 2002. In addition, these members of our former senior management team have each been indicted by the State of New York for violations of criminal law. On September 12, 2002, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer were charged with 39 violations of New York state criminal law, including enterprise corruption and obtaining monies by theft and fraud, and our former Chief Corporate Counsel was charged with falsifying business records in violation of New York state criminal law. Our Board of Directors retained the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLPoutside counsel in April 2002 to conduct an investigation. The scope of the investigation consisted of a review and analysis of transactions between and among Tyco and its subsidiaries and our directors and officers. The findings of the first phase (Phase 1) were reported on September 17, 2002 in a Current Report on Form 8-K. In connection with the Phase 1 findings and at the direction of the Board and our new Chief Executive Officer, theThe investigation was expanded to a second phase (Phase 2), which involved a more comprehensive review of Tyco's accounting and financial reporting. The scope of the Phase 2 review included an examination of Tyco's reported revenues, profits, cash flow, internal auditing and control procedures, use of reserves, and non-recurring charges, as well as corporate governance issues such as the personal use of corporate assets and the use of corporate funds to pay personal expenses, and employee loan and loan forgiveness programs. Phase 2 of the investigation was completed by the Boies firm in late December 2002. 29 It was concluded that: - There was no significant or systemic fraud affecting Tyco's prior financial statements; - There were a number of accounting entries and treatments that were incorrect and required correction; - The incorrect accounting entries and treatments are not individually or in the aggregate material to the overall financial statements of Tyco; and - Our prior senior management engaged in a pattern of aggressive accounting which, even when in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, was intended to increase reported earnings above what they would have been if more conservative accounting had been employed; - Reversal or restatement of prior accounting entries and treatments resulting from the aggressive accounting pursued by prior senior management would not materially adversely affect our reported revenue, earnings and cash flow for 2003 and thereafter. These findingsconclusions were reported on December 30, 2002 in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

        While most of the matters identified by the review as "aggressive accounting" were determined by Tyco, in consultation with its auditors, to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there were as indicated above, certain adjustments (19 in total) identified as relating to years preceding fiscal 2002. These adjustments which included adjustments from the recording of previously unrecorded audit adjustments aggregated $36.1 million and2002 that were recordedincorporated in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. These adjustments are discussed further in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.restated financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2003.

        Additionally, our new senior management team in conjunction with our new Board of Directors reviewed overall company policies and procedures in areas that were viewed as important. Specific areas of focus included acquisition accounting, restructuring, financial and legal controls, reserve utilization, incentive compensation and a number of other areas relevant to our financial statements. New seniorSenior management determined that Tyco's existing policies and standards of approval needed substantial improvement and found that there were instances in which documentation of important financial reporting matters was substandard; there had been limited review of bonuses and incentive compensation across Tyco; and the manner in which former senior management managed Tyco did not reflect a commitment to sound corporate governance nor the processes required to ensure the highest

29



standards of financial integrity and accounting rigor to which the new senior management team and our Board of Directors is committed and our shareholders deserve. New senior

        Senior management believes that prior senior management's primary focus was on earnings-per-share accretive acquisitions which resulted in our growing considerably over the past several years, including the acquisition of approximately 700 companies of varying size and in varying businesses around the world, but which also strained the internal control environment and limited our investment in these areas. In addition, new senior management believes that prior senior management during the past three years placed undue reliance on non-recurring charges and pro forma financial information. New seniorSenior management also believes that the rapid pace of acquisitions and attendant restructurings made it difficult to ascertain the level of our organic growth. New senior

        Senior management is committed to improvingcontinuing to improve the state of our internal controls, corporate governance and financial reporting. OurIn fiscal 2003, our new Board of Directors and new senior management have initiated the following actions: - Added new nominees for the Board of Directors; -

    Created new Board and Committee charters; 30 -

    Issued a new delegation of authority to govern, among other business processes, the expenditure or commitment of funds; - Initiated

    Instituted an account reconciliation process to improve controls over core accounting records;

    Created an Ombudsman network;

    Continued to conduct intensified internal audits, and detailed controls and operating reviews, and reported the results of such audits and reviews;

    Developed a treasury department policies and procedures manual to provide guidance on the utilization of funds;

    Expanded the resources and responsibilities of the internal audit function, with a senior internal audit officer who reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; and

    Created a disclosure committee that includes a cross functional team, including, but not limited to, senior personnel from the legal, finance, and corporate goverance departments, which is

30


      responsible for reviewing SEC periodic filings for adequacy of disclosure and communicating material findings to the Company's CEO and CFO.

        Although the framework has been put in place to materially improve the control structure of Tyco, it will take some time to realize all of the benefits from our initiatives. Our Board of Directors and new senior management are committed not only to a sound internal control environment but also to be recognized as a leader in corporate governance. We have committed considerable resources to date on the aforementioned reviews and remedies. A review of controls of a company the size of Tyco, which includes approximately 2,300 subsidiaries, is not a one-time event. We are committed to ongoing periodic reviews of our controls and their effectiveness, the results of which will be reported to our shareholders. We are undertaking a thorough review of our internal and disclosure controls including, but not limited to, information technology systems and financial reporting as part of the Company's compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, but at this time we have not completed our review of the existing controls and their effectiveness and, therefore, cannot assure you at this time that these controls and procedures fully satisfy the requirements of Section 404.

        As disclosed in the Company's previously filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company conducted intensified internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews that resulted in the Company identifying and recording pre-tax charges of $506.0 million in the quarter for charges related to prior periods. These charges resulted from capitalizing certain selling expenses to property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, mostly in the Fire and Security segment, and reconciliation items relating to balance sheet accounts where certain account analysis or periodic reconciliations were deficient, resulting in adjustments primarily related to the Engineered Products and Services segment. Additionally, charges related to the correction of balances primarily related to corporate pension and deferred compensation accruals, asset reserve adjustments and other accounting adjustment (i.e., purchase accounting accruals, deferred commissions, accounting related to leases in the Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services segments). The restatement filed in July 2003 with the SEC includes adjustments to reverse the charges recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and reflect those charges in the historic periods to which they relate.

Our controls are improving and new senior management has no reason to believe that the financial statements included in this report are not fairly stated in all material respects. There can be no assurances, however, that new problems will not be found in the future. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud because a control system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some person or by collusion of two or more people. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We expect to continue to improve our controls with each passing quarter. It will take some time, however, before we have in place the rigorous controls that our Board of Directors and new senior management desires and our shareholders deserve. ITEM

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures by senior management. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that these procedures and controls are effective, given the cautions stated above. Other than as described above, this quarter, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. The Company will continue to make ongoing assessments of these controls and procedures periodically.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements

Discussion of Tyco International Ltd. and its subsidiariesManagement's Responsibility

        We are the responsibility of the Company's management and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivityfair presentation of the consolidated financial statements including estimates and judgments reflectedrelated information appearing in them and fulfills this responsibility primarily by establishing and maintaining accounting systems and practices adequately supported by internal accounting controls.report. We take these responsibilities very seriously and are committed to building ourselvesbeing recognized as a recognized leader in governance, controls, and clarity and transparency of financial statements. We are committed to making honesty, integrity and transparency the hallmarks of how we run Tyco. We believe that to succeed in today's environment requires more than just compliance with laws and regulations—it requires a culture based upon the highest levels of integrity and ethical values. Expected behavior starts with our Board of Directors and our senior team leading by example and includes every one of Tyco's approximately 258,600 global employees, as well as our customers, suppliers and business partners. One of our most crucial objectives is restoring public, employee and shareholder confidence in Tyco. We believe this can be accomplished; first, by issuing financial information and related disclosures that are accurate, complete and transparent so investors are well informed; second, by supporting a leadership culture based on an ethic of uncompromising integrity and accountability; and third, by recruiting, training and retaining high-performance individuals who have just begunthe highest ethical standards. We take full responsibility for meeting this missionobjective, adopting appropriate accounting standards, designing and it will take some timemaintaining adequate systems of internal and disclosure controls and devoting our full commitment and the necessary resources to developthese items.

Dedication to Governance, Controls and additional timeFinancial Reporting

        For a number of us at Tyco, 2003 was our first full year in our roles. We have made significant progress designing, maintaining and monitoring internal controls over financial reporting and disclosures and improving our corporate governance practices, many of which are discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that a strong control environment is a dynamic process and therefore, intend to permeatecontinue to devote substantial resources to this effort. The Company has continually assessed and improved its controls during 2003, and we believe the entire organization globally. Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorizations and that the financial records are reliable for the purpose of preparingour financial statements. Even an effective

        While we are pleased with our corporate governance and control improvements during 2003, we still have much more to accomplish in a dynamic and quite complex environment. We recognize that a culture and control environment cannot be completely implemented in one year. With the goal of identifying and remediating control deficiencies in a timely manner, we are continuing to devote substantial resources to document and test the effectiveness of all aspects of our internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, includingand disclosure controls. This is being done at approximately 2,300 subsidiaries throughout the possibilityworld. It will take some time and experience, however, before we are confident that we have in place all of the circumvention or overriding ofrigorous and effective controls that we and therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and such safeguarding of assets. The Company assessed its internal control system within the past 90 days. Based on this assessment, notwithstanding the instances of breakdowns described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (see Item 14--Controls and Procedures), management believes the internal accounting controls in use at the time of this filing are likely to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorizations, and that the financial records are reliable for the purpose of preparing financial statements. Such reasonable assurance is based in part on additional procedures performed by the Company in light of the instances of breakdowns of internal controls which occurred during fiscal 2002. We are enhancing our internal controls by implementing additional policies and procedures to improve the assurance level. Many of the difficulties the Company faced during fiscal 2002 highlight the business imperative of high quality controls and corporate governance. However, given the short tenure of senior management with the Company and the ongoing internal investigations of the Company's controls, management has not had the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive review of its approximately 2,300 subsidiaries. Even with a more thorough review, no assurances can be given that control problems will not be discovered in the future. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, are retained to audit Tyco International Ltd.'s consolidated financial statements. Their accompanying report is based on audits conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which include the consideration of the Company's internal controls to establish a basis for determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests to be applied. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consistingdesire.

        We welcome the oversight of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company,our financial reporting activities by our independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). In its audit testing, PwC takes into consideration our internal control environment. Our Audit Committee meets regularly and separately with management, the independent accountantsPwC and theour internal auditors to review matters relatingdiscuss financial reports, controls and auditing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of Tyco International Ltd.

        In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tyco International Ltd. and its subsidiaries at September 30, 20022003 and 2001,2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002,2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the accompanying financial statement schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        As discussed in Notes 1, 12 and 17, the Company adopted provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, in fiscal year 2003, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in fiscal year 2002 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements in fiscal year 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION--TheBasis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter "we," the "Company" or "Tyco") and have been prepared in United States dollars, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). As described in Note 11, CIT Group Inc. ("CIT"), which comprised

Business—the operations of the Tyco Capital business segment, was sold in an initial public offering ("IPO") in July 2002. Consequently, the results of Tyco Capital are presented as discontinued operations. References to Tyco refer to its continuing operations, with the exception of the discussions regarding discontinued operations in Note 11. The continuing operations of Tyco represent what was referred to as Tyco Industrial in prior filings. INVESTIGATION--With the arrival of new senior management, the Company has engaged in a number of internal reviews aimed at determining what, if any, misconduct may have been committed by prior senior management. An initial review of prior management's transactions with the Company was conducted by the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. The details of their findings were made public in a Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2002. In July 2002, our new CEO and our Board of Directors ordered a further review of corporate governance practices and the accounting of selected acquisitions. This review has been referred to as the "Phase 2 review." The Phase 2 review was conducted by the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP and the Boies firm was in turn assisted by forensic accountants. The review received the full cooperation of Tyco's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as well as Tyco's new senior management team. The review included an examination of Tyco's reported revenues, profits, cash flow, internal auditing and control procedures, accounting for major acquisitions and reserves, the use of non-recurring charges, as well as corporate governance issues such as the personal use of corporate assets and the use of corporate funds to pay personal expenses, employee loan and loan forgiveness programs. Approximately 25 lawyers and 100 accountants worked on the review from August into December 2002. In total, at considerable cost, more than 15,000 lawyer hours and 50,000 accountant hours were dedicated to this review. The review team examined documents and interviewed Tyco personnel at more than 45 operating units in the United States and in 12 foreign countries. As a result of the Phase 2 Review, the Company identified certain adjustments relating to years preceding fiscal 2002. Such adjustments were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, and are discussed further below. CHARGES RELATING TO PRIOR YEARS RECORDED IN FISCAL 2002--During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company identified various adjustments relating to prior year financial statements. Management concluded the effects of these adjustments, as well as any unrecorded proposed audit adjustments, were not material individually or in the aggregate to the current year or any prior year. Accordingly, prior year financial statements have not been restated. Instead, these adjustments, which aggregate $261.6 million on a pre-tax income basis or $199.7 million on an after-tax income basis, have been recorded effective October 1, 2001. The nature and amounts of these adjustments are principally as follows: - The Company determined the amounts reimbursed from dealers under ADT's authorized dealer program exceeded the costs actually incurred. The cumulative effect of reimbursements recorded in years prior to fiscal 2002 in excess of costs incurred, net of the effect of the deferred credit, which would have been amortized as described further in Note 1, is $185.9 million. 45 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) - The Company determined that the net gain of $64.1 million on the issuance of TyCom shares previously reported for fiscal 2001 should have been lower by $39.6 million. - The Company identified several adjustments, both as a result of the Phase 2 review and the recording of previously unrecorded audit adjustments, which are more appropriately recorded as expenses, rather than as part of the Company's acquisition accounting. The cumulative effect of the adjustments necessary to revise the prior accounting is a pre-tax charge of $36.1 million. The fiscal years to which the charges relate are as follows ($ in millions):
PRIOR TO FISCAL FISCAL FISCAL TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT 2000 2000 2001 TOTAL - ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ADT dealer reimbursements................................... $33.6 $53.5 $ 98.8 $185.9 Gain on issuance of shares of TyCom......................... -- -- 39.6 39.6 Other adjustments........................................... 22.7 26.4 (13.0) 36.1 ----- ----- ------ ------ Totals...................................................... $56.3 $79.9 $125.4 $261.6 ===== ===== ====== ======
These adjustments would have impacted income (loss) from continuing operations and net income (loss). Income (loss) from continuing operations would have been impacted as follows: fiscal 2000 $4,464 million compared with $4,520 million; fiscal 2001 $4,297 million compared with $4,402 million; and fiscal 2002 $(2,871) million compared with $(3,070) million. Net income (loss) would have been impacted as follows: fiscal 2000 $4,464 million compared with $4,520 million; fiscal 2001 $3,866 million compared with $3,971 million; and fiscal 2002 $(9,212) million compared with $(9,412) million. See Note 28 for the effect of these adjustments on previously issued unaudited quarterly financial information for fiscal 2002. BUSINESS--the Company operates in the following business segments: -

    Fire and Security Services designs, manufactures, installs, monitors and services electronic security systems and fire protection systems. -

    Electronics designs, manufactures and distributes electrical and electronic components, and designs, manufactures, installs, operates and maintains undersea fiber optic undersea cable communications systems. -

    Healthcare and Specialty Products designs, manufactures and distributes medical devices and supplies, imaging agents, pharmaceuticals and other specialtyadult incontinence and infant care products. -

    Engineered Products and Services designs, manufactures, distributes and services engineered products including industrial valves and controls and steel tubular goods and provides environmental and other industrial consulting services. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--Tyco

    Plastics and Adhesives designs, manufactures and distributes plastic products, adhesives and films.

Principles of Consolidation—Tyco is a holding company whose assets consist of its investments in its subsidiaries, intercompany balances, long-term debt and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The businesses of the consolidated group are conducted through Tyco's subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares unless control is likely to be temporary. Also, in accordance with FIN 46, the Company consolidates variable interest entities in which the Company bears a majority of the risk to its potential losses or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the fiscal year are included in the 46 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. REVENUE RECOGNITION--The

Revenue Recognition—The Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 retroactive to the beginning of the fiscal year and is now recognizing revenues from the installation of owned security systems and deferring the associated direct incremental costs over the estimated customer lives.

        Revenue from the sale of products is recognized according to the terms of the sales arrangement, which is customarily when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized as services are rendered. Subscriber billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as the services are rendered, and the associated deferred revenue is included in current liabilities or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.

        Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, undersea fiber optic cable systems and other construction related projects are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related cost to

45



completion. Cost to completion for undersea cable systems is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs, while cost to completion for the installation of fire protection systems and other construction related projects is measured using the efforts-expended method based on direct labor hours expended and actual material used. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable.

        Certain of the Company's long-term contracts have warranty obligations. Estimated warranty costs for each contract are determined based on the contract terms and technology specific issues. These costs are included in total estimated contract costs accrued over the construction period of the respective contracts under percentage-of-completion accounting. In addition, certain product sales also have normal warranty provisions. The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale and any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

        The Company's global undersea fiber optic network, on which it sells bandwidth capacity, is known as the Tyco Global Network ("TGN"). The Company's sales of bandwidth capacity are generally structured as either service arrangements or operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the service arrangement ratably over the service period and recognizes revenue associated with the operating leases over the lease term. In 2003, we decided to sell the TGN (see Note 16). We will continue to recognize revenue through the disposal date.

        At September 30, 2003, accounts receivable and other long-term receivables included retainage provisions of $174.5 million, of which $100.7 million remained unbilled. At September 30, 2002, accounts receivable and other long-term receivables included retainage provisions of $164.8 million, of which $84.9 million remained unbilled. At September 30, 2001, accounts receivable and other long-term receivables included retainage provisions of $100.7 million, of which $73.7 million remained unbilled. These retention provisions relateconsist primarily toof electronics contracts, fire protection contracts as well as transportation, water and electronics contracts andenvironmental-related contracts. These retention provisions become due upon contract completion and acceptance. Of the balance of $164.8$174.5 million at September 30, 2002, $128.32003, $138.8 million is included in accounts receivable and is expected to be collected during fiscal 2003. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT--Research2004.

Research and Development—Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in cost of sales. Customer-funded research and development are costs incurred by 47 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Tyco that are reimbursed by customers. There is no net impact on research and development expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for customer-funded research and development. Research and development expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects company-sponsored research and development only. ADVERTISING--Advertising

Advertising—Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. SALE OF COMMON SHARES OF A SUBSIDIARY--Gains

Sale of Common Shares of a Subsidiary—Gains on the sale of all common shares issued by a subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY--Assets and liabilities

Translation of Foreign Currency—For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries operating outside the United States which account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars other than those operatingand do not operate in highly inflationary environments, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates effective during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) income within shareholders' equity. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while other assets and liabilities are translated

46



at year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments for the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are included in net income.

        Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, the amounts of which are not material in any period presented, are included in net income. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--All

Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid investments purchased with maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

        On occasion, the Company is required to post cash collateral to secure reimbursements or indemnity obligations under letters of credit and performance guarantees in respect of various construction projects. The amount of restricted cash in collateral amountswas $444.8 million (of which $141.8 million is included in current assets and $303.0 million is included in long-term assets) and $196.2 million (all of which is included in current assets) at September 30, 2003 and 2002, was $196.2 million. There was no restricted cash at September 30, 2001. INVENTORIES--Inventoriesrespectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence.

Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT--Property,

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2003, 2002 2001 and 2000,2001, the Company capitalized interest of $110.7$25.2 million, $76.3$100.1 million and $10.8$76.3 million, respectively. The increasedecrease in capitalized interest in fiscal 2003 is primarily due to 48 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)the completion of construction of the TGN, which began during the last quarter of fiscal 2000.TGN. The straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

WhenAs certain geographic segments of the TGN arewere completed and are available for capacity sales, the costs of that segment arewere removed from construction in progress and reclassified to placed in service. The portion of the TGN that has beenwas placed in service is recorded within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Tyco Global Network--placedNetwork—placed in service at September 30, 2002 (see Note 26)28). As of September 30, 2003, the TGN had been impaired and entirely written-off (see Note 6).

        The Company generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program. Subscriber systems represent internally generated residential systems and internally generated commercial systems (customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program are recorded as intangible assets). For internal purposes, we divide internally generated commercial accounts into three smaller groups consisting of small business, core commercial and

47



national commercial accounts. The internally generated residential and commercial account pools are generally amortized using the straight-line method over a ten-year period (a fourteen-year period for national commercial accounts and a fourteen-year period with write-off of specific accounts upon discontinuance for residential and commercial accounts in certain non-U.S. geographic locations).

        Gains and losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material. LONG-LIVED ASSETS--Thematerial in any period presented.

Long-Lived Assets—The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. When indicators of impairment are present, the carrying values of the assets are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS--EffectiveFair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

Goodwill—Effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of Tyco's fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized but instead is assessed for impairment at least annually. Underannually and as triggering events occur. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying them to the transition provisionsanalysis of SFAS No. 142, there was no goodwill impairment at October 1, 2001. Additionally, theimpairment.

        The Company has elected to make July 1 the annual impairment assessment date for all reporting units, and will perform additional impairment tests when triggering events occur. SFAS No. 142 defines a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Our reporting units as of September 30, 20022003 were as follows: Electronic Security Services, Fire Protection Electronics,Contracting and Services, Electronic Components, Wireless, Electrical Contracting Services, Power Systems, Printed Circuit Group, Submarine Telecommunications, Healthcare, PlasticsMedical Devices & Supplies, Retail, Pharmaceuticals, Flow Control and Adhesives, Flow Control,Fire Products, Electrical and Metal Products, Infrastructure Services, Plastics, A&E Products, Adhesives and Tyco Infrastructure.Ludlow Coated Products. When changes occur in the composition of one or more segments or reporting units, the goodwill is reassigned to the segments/reporting units affected based on their relative fair value as prescribed by SFAS No. 142.

        Goodwill valuations have historically been calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. This approach includes many assumptions related to future growth rates, discount factors, future tax rates, etc. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in a goodwill impairment in future periods.

        Disruptions to the business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, and market capitalization declines may result in our having to perform a SFAS No. 142 first step valuation analysis for all of Tyco's reporting units prior to the required

48



annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments in the future.

        See Note 1617 for more information on SFAS No. 142, and Note 11, "Discontinued Operations of Tyco Capital (CIT Group Inc.)," for further information regarding the impairment of goodwill relating to Tyco Capital.

        During fiscal 2001, and 2000, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years. In accordance with the guidance of SFAS No. 142, goodwill associated with acquisitions consummated after June 30, 2001 was not amortized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

Intangible AssetsIntangible assets primarily include contracts and related customer relationships, and intellectual property and other items. Theproperty. Certain contracts and related customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life ranging from 5 to 40 years. Intellectual property consists primarily 49 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) of patents, trademarks and unpatented technology, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a range of 5 to 40 years. Contracts and related customer relationships result from the Company purchasing residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under ADT's authorizedthe ADT dealer program. The purchase price of customerAcquired contracts is recorded as an intangible asset and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the period of the economic benefits expected to be obtained from therelated customer relationships which is presently estimated to be ten years. The resulting amortization approximates the pattern in which the Company estimates it will obtain those benefits and considers customer attrition.are recorded at their contractually determined net purchase price. The Company incurs costs associated with maintaining and operating its ADT dealer program, including brand advertising costs and for due diligence performed by the Company with respectcosts relating to contracts offered byfor sale to the Company under the ADT dealer program. In certain programs, dealers for purchase. Dealers reimbursepaid the Company a non-refundable amount for each of the contracts purchasedsold to the Company representing their reimbursement of thosesuch dealer program costs. This non-refundable charge represents dealer reimbursement to the Company for costs described above. Theincurred by the Company recognizes thisassociated with maintaining and operating the ADT dealer program. Accordingly, each acquired contract and related customer relationship was recorded at its contractually determined purchase price, net of a non-refundable chargeamount charged to dealers at the time the contract iswas accepted for purchase. The costs incurred by the Company and the related reimbursements are included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. To the extent that the amount of dealer reimbursement of the Company's administrative and connection costs exceed the actual costs incurred, the excess is recorded as a deferred credit and amortized on a straight line-basis over the estimated period of the economic benefits, which is estimated to be ten years. Prior to fiscal 2002, the Company recognized in earnings the entire amount of reimbursements from dealers.

        During the first six to twelve months (twelve months in certain circumstances) after the purchase of the customer contract, any cancellation of monitoring service, including those that result from customer payment delinquencies, results in a chargeback by the Company to the dealer of the full amount of the contract purchase price. The non-refundable charge to the dealer was retained by the Company even in the event of customer cancellation. The Company records the chargeback amount from the dealer as a reduction of the previously recorded intangible asset. INVESTMENTS--The

        Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the month of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of economic benefit that is expected to be obtained from the customer relationship. Based upon attrition studies of the ADT dealer program customer base, conducted by an independent appraiser, the Company believes that the accelerated method that presently best achieves the matching objective above is the double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for the first eight years of the estimated life of the customer relationship, converting to the straight-line method of amortization for the remaining four years of the estimated relationship period. Actual attrition data is regularly reviewed in order to assess the continued applicability of the accelerated method of amortization described above.

        Other contracts and related customer relationships, as well as intellectual property consisting primarily of patents, trademarks and unpatented technology, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five to forty years.

Investments—The Company invests in both debt and equity securities. The Company accounts for its long-term investments in marketable equity securities that represent less than twenty percent ownership by

49



adjusting the securities to market value at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized gains and losses are credited or charged to shareholders' equity for available for sale securities unless an unrealized loss is deemed to be other than temporary, in which case such loss is charged to earnings. Debt and equity securities that are classified as trading securities are recorded at fair value, and the unrealized gains and losses are credited or charged to earnings. Debt securities whichthat the Company has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Management determines the proper classification of investments in debt obligations with fixed maturities and equity securities for which there is a readily determinable market value at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classifications as of each balance sheet date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        Other equity investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable market value are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting. At September 30, 20022003 and 2001,2002, such investments were recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. 50 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

        For equity investments in which the Company owns or controls twenty percent or more of the voting shares, or over which it exerts significant influence over operating and financial policies, the equity method of accounting is used. The Company's share of net income or losses of equity investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was not material in any period presented.

        Investments are included in other current and long-term assets, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts were $328.0 million and $740.1 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, ofSheets (see Note 28).

Restricted Investments—Restricted investments, which $219.6 million and $708.1 million wereare included in long-termother current and non-current assets, respectively. SHARE PREMIUM AND CONTRIBUTED SURPLUS--Inas appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of fixed income securities with maturities in excess of three months. These investments are restricted as they are currently being used as collateral for certain insurance obligations.

Share Premium and Contributed Surplus—In accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act of 1981, when Tyco issues shares for cash at a premium to their par value, the resulting premium is credited to a share premium account, a non-distributable reserve. When Tyco issues shares in exchange for shares of another company, the excess of the fair value of the shares acquired over the par value of the shares issued by Tyco is credited, where applicable, to contributed surplus, which is, subject to certain conditions, a distributable reserve. INCOME TAXES--Deferred

Income Taxes—Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax basesbasis of particular assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--All

Financial Instruments—All derivative instruments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in a derivative's fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria

50



are met. IfAt its inception, if the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized as a charge or credit to earnings.

        The fair value estimates are based on relevant market information, including current market rates and prices, assuming adequate market liquidity. Fair value estimates for interest rate and cross-currency swaps are provided to the Company by bankshigh-quality third-party financial institutions known to be high volume participants in this market.

        The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency, commodity price and interest rate risks. The Company's objectives for utilizing derivatives is to manage these risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The Company documents relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, and links derivatives designated as fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows associated with the hedged items.

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, the Company, as an end-user, enters into various interest rate swap transactions, all of which are transacted in over-the-counter 51 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) markets, with other financial institutions acting as principal counterparties. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, all derivatives entered into are designated according to a hedge objective against specified liabilities such as a specifically underwritten debt issue. The Company's primary hedge objectives include the conversion of fixed-rate liabilities to variable rates. The derivatives associated with these objectives are classified as fair value hedges.

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currencies, the Company utilizes forward and option contracts transacted in over-the-counter markets, with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties. The objective of these hedging contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany loans, booked accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable, and forecasted transactions. Only in very limited circumstances is hedge accounting designated. The remaining hedges are marked to market.

        The Company's derivative instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as Tyco deals with a variety of major banks worldwide with long-term Standard & Poor's and Moody's credit ratings of A+/A1 or higher and its accounts receivable are spread among a number of major industries, customers and geographic areas.higher. In addition, only conventional derivatives are utilized thereby affording optimum clarity as to the market risk. None of the Company's derivative instruments outstanding at year end would result in a significant loss to the Company if a counterparty failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or other security to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative instruments. USE OF ESTIMATES--The

Accrued Product Warranty—The Company generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale, and any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase

51



an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., consumable products) up to 20 years (e.g., power system batteries.) The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring and other unusual charges (credits),and credits, purchase accounting reserves,liabilities, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows associated with assets, asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, net realizable value of inventories, fair values of financial instruments, estimated contract revenues and related costs, environmental and legal liabilities, income taxes and tax valuation reserves, and the determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and post-retirement employee benefit expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In June 2001,Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the FASB issuedperiod that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

Accounting Pronouncements—Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 which addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. This statement rescinds the indicated statements and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 encourages early adoption of the provision of this standard that rescinds SFAS No.4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt." Accordingly, the Company elected to early adopt this provision during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, which resulted in increased pre-tax income of $30.6 million in fiscal 2002. We reclassified 52 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1.

However, net income remains unchanged in both periods. See Note 8 for further information.costs. The adoption of the remaining provisions of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In July

        Effective October 1, 2002, the FASB issuedCompany adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement nullifies the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities initiated after adoption be recognized and measured at fair value when incurred as opposed to at the date an entity commits to the exit or disposal plans. We expect theThe initial adoption of this new standard todid not have ana material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        Effective January 1, 2003, the timingCompany adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide transition methods for a voluntary change to measuring compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using a fair value based method. The Statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for compensation cost associated with employee share option plans, as well as the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements

52



of SFAS No. 148 and has not changed its method for measuring the compensation cost of share options.

        Tyco continues to use the intrinsic value based method and does not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the time of grant. As a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 had no impact on our results of operations or financial position. Had the fair value based provisions of SFAS No. 123 been adopted by Tyco, the effect on net income and earnings per common share for fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001 would have been as follows ($ in millions):

        The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of what the effects may be in future years. SFAS No. 123 does not apply to awards prior to 1995. Additional awards in future years are anticipated.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees." FIN 45 requires increased disclosure of guarantees, including those for which likelihood of payment is remote, and product warranty information (see Note 20). FIN 45 also requires that guarantors recognize a liability for certain types of guarantees equal to the fair value of the guarantee upon its issuance. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

53


        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," relating to consolidation of certain entities. FIN 46 requires identification of the Company's participation in variable interest entities ("VIE's"), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For entities identified as VIE's, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to VIE's, if any, future restructuring charges. RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certainbears a majority of the risk to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46 also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIE's that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company adopted FIN 46's accounting provisions as of July 1, 2003. See Notes 12 and 30 for further discussion of the impact of FIN 46.

        In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to determine when an arrangement that involves multiple revenue-generating activities or deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. It further states, that if this division is required, the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The guidance in the consensus is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods that began after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149, which is to be applied prospectively, is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) and is effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        The Company purchased businesses for an aggregate cost of $5,151.5 million, consisting of $3,084.8 million in cash, net of $158.0 million of cash acquired, the issuance of approximately 47.8 million common shares valued at $1,918.8 million, plus the fair value of stock options and pre-existing put option rights assumed of $147.9 million ($102.6 million of the put option rights have been paid in cash). The Company purchasedsubstantially all of the voting equity interests in each of the businesses acquired. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded purchase accounting liabilities of $194.6 millionacquired for the costs of integrating the acquired companies and transaction costs. Details regarding these purchase accounting liabilities are set forth below. Tyco also issued approximately 17.7 million common shares valued at $819.9 million in connection with its amalgamation with TyCom (see Note 9).all periods presented. In addition, the Company recorded $235.6 millioneach acquisition was accounted for the fair value of shares issued and options assumed in connection with the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Mallinckrodt. Fair value of debt of acquired companies aggregated $799.1 million. During fiscal 2002, the Company paid $474.8 million of cash foras a purchase, accounting liabilities related to current and prior years' acquisitions. In addition,

54



the Company paid cash of approximately $149.3 million relating to holdback and earn-out liabilities primarily related to certain prior year acquisitions. Holdback liabilities represent a portion of the purchase price withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquired company's net assets or purchase price paid over time. "Earn-out" liabilities are payments to the sellers that are the result of the acquired company having achieved 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 over a specified period of time, and are accrued when the milestones are met and contingent consideration becomes determinable and distributable. The Company also issued 44,139 common shares 53 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED) valued at $2.3 million relating to earn-out liabilities during fiscal 2002. The value of these earn-out common shares is based upon the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance. The cash portions of the acquisition costs were funded utilizing net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Tyco'sthe Company's consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. At the time each purchase acquisition is made, the Company records each asset acquired and each liability assumed at its estimated fair value, which amount is subject to future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are obtained. The excess of (i) the total consideration paid for the acquired company over (ii) the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed and purchase accounting liabilities recordedestablished is recorded as goodwill. Once the appraisals or valuation data are obtained, the Company will recordrecords adjustments to the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Purchase price allocations for certain fiscal 2002 acquisitions are preliminary.preliminary in the year acquired. As the Company finalizes integration/exit plans, it expects to recognize additional purchase accounting liabilities. Several factors impact the finalization of integration/exit plans, such as identifying acquired facilities that are duplicative of Tyco's existing operations. Once this is determined, approval needs to be obtained from management having the appropriate level of authority, the estimated cost of the integration/exit activities needs to be determined and negotiation with employee bargaining groups needs to be completed in order to finalize the plan. As a result, final adjustments often extend to the end of a one yearone-year period after acquisition. These additional purchase accounting liabilities increase the amount of goodwill recorded, and any changes to the fair value of net assets could increase or decrease goodwill. The Company expects to record adjustments to goodwill related to some companies acquired in fiscal 2002.2003. However, the Company does not expect the impact of any of these adjustments to be material to its financial statements. As a result of acquisitions completed in fiscal 2002, and adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities and increases to purchase accounting liabilities recorded for acquisitions completed prior to fiscal 2002, the Company recorded approximately $4,071.4 million in goodwill and $2,025.2 million in other intangible assets in fiscal 2002. These amounts include adjustments consisting of a $68.9 million decrease to goodwill and a $40.5 million decrease to other intangible assets related to fair value adjustments associated with prior year acquisitions. The adjustments to goodwill relate primarily to fiscal 2001 acquisitions of Lucent Technologies' Power Systems ("LPS"), acquired in December 2000, Edison Select ("Edison"), acquired in August 2001, Deutsche Armaturen AG ("DAAG"), acquired in September 2001, and Scott Technologies ("Scott"), acquired in May 2001. Adjustments to goodwill for LPS relate to the closure of a manufacturing plant and the adjustment of certain opening balance sheet items, primarily property, plant and equipment, and inventory. Finalization of the exit plan relating to the LPS acquisition was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Adjustments for Edison relate primarily to severance, and to a lesser extent, facility closures and the adjustment of certain opening balance sheet items to fair value. Adjustments for DAAG relate primarily to facility closures and related severance and the adjustment of certain opening balance sheet items to fair value; and for Scott relate primarily to the adjustment of certain opening balance sheet items to fair value. In addition, during the latter half of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired related to its acquisition of Sensormatic using among other factors, appraisals, in the amount of $564.8 million. The $564.8 million consists of the following: developed technology of $348.2 million, trademarks of $135.9 million, customer base of $67.3 million, and in-process research and development of $13.4 million. 54 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED)

        Acquisitions were an important part of Tyco's growth during fiscal 2002.prior years. When Tyco makesmade acquisitions thatit sought to complement existing products and services, enhance the Company's product lines and/or expand its customer base. The Company begins formulating exit plans as part of the acquisition approval process. Tyco determinesdetermined what it iswas willing to pay for aneach acquisition partially based on its expectation that it cancould cost effectively integrate the products and services of an acquired companycompanies into Tyco's existing infrastructure and improve earnings by removing overhead costs in areas where there are duplicate sales, administrative or other facilities and functions. In addition, the Company utilizesutilized existing infrastructure (e.g., established sales force, distribution channels, customer relations, etc.) of acquired companies to cost effectively introduce Tyco's products to new geographic areas. The Company also targetstargeted companies that arewere perceived to be experiencing depressed financial performance. All of these factors contributecontributed to acquisition prices in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and the resultant goodwill. However, beginning in fiscal 2003, the Company completed significantly fewer acquisitions as compared to the past few years due to its focus on enhancing internal growth within its existing businesses.

Fiscal 2003

        During fiscal 2003, the Company purchased seven businesses within the Healthcare, Engineered Products and Services, Fire and Security and Electronics segments for an aggregate cost of $44.0 million in cash, net of $1.1 million of cash acquired. In addition, the Company paid $596.8 million of cash during fiscal 2003, to acquire approximately 635,500 customer contracts for electronic security services through the Company's dealer program. During fiscal 2003, the Company paid $171.5 million of cash for utilization of purchase accounting liabilities related to prior years' acquisitions. In addition, the Company paid cash of approximately $100.3 million relating to holdback and earn-out liabilities related to certain prior period acquisitions. Holdback liabilities represent a

55



portion of the purchase price withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquisition balance sheet. Certain acquisitions have provisions that would 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 and are generally treated as additional purchase price. The cash portions of acquisition costs for the business and customer contracts were funded utilizing cash from operations. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Tyco's consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates.

        As a result of acquisitions completed in fiscal 2003, and adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded for acquisitions completed prior to fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a net decrease of $462.4 million in goodwill and an additional $40.7 million in other intangible assets in fiscal 2003. The net decrease in goodwill includes $480.5 million associated with prior years' acquisitions, primarily Sensormatic Electronics Corporation ("Sensormatic"), acquired in November 2001, Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt"), acquired in October 2000, Lucent Technologies' Power Systems ("LPS"), acquired in December 2000, and Deutsche Armaturen AG ("DAAG"), acquired in September 2001, slightly offset by an increase of $18.1 million due to current year acquisitions. Adjustments for Sensormatic primarily relate to fair value adjustments as well as the finalization of deferred tax adjustments related to previously recorded purchase accounting liabilities. Adjustments for LPS and Mallinckrodt primarily relate to reductions in purchase accounting liabilities due to actual costs being less than originally estimated. See roll forwards of purchase accounting accruals below. Adjustments for DAAG relate to fair value adjustments. The increase in intangible assets is due to adjustments associated with prior years' acquisitions.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded during fiscal 2002 consist of $96.7 million for severance and related costs; $60.5 million for costs associated with the shut down and consolidation of certain facilities, including unfavorable leases, lease terminations and other related fees, and other costs; $6.4 million for distributor and supplier contractual cancellation fees; and $31.0 million for transaction and other costs. Theseadditions to purchase accounting liabilities relate primarilyas it continued to formulate the acquisitionsintegration plans of Sensormatic, CII and Paragon. In connection with fiscal 2002 purchase acquisitions, Tyco began to formulate plans at the datesuch as Paragon and Eberle Controls GmbH. Finalization of each acquisition for workforce reductions and the closure and consolidationcomponents of an aggregate of 183 facilities. The costs of employee terminations relate to the elimination of 2,700 positions in the United States, 522 positions in Latin America, 481 positions in Canada, 442 positions in Europe and 141 positions in the Asia-Pacific region, consisting primarily of manufacturing and distribution, administrative, technical, and sales and marketing personnel. Facilities designated for closure include 94 facilities in the United States, 48 facilities in Europe, 24 facilities in the Asia-Pacific region, 14 facilities in Canada and 3 facilities in Latin America, consisting primarily of administrative offices, sales offices, manufacturing plants and distribution centers. At September 30, 2002, 2,833 employees had been terminated and 101 facilities had been closed or consolidated related to fiscal 2002 acquisitions. Tyco has not yet finalized its business integration plans for all of its fiscal 2002 acquisitions. Accordingly, purchase accounting liabilities are subject to revisionassociated with acquisitions resulted in future quarters. There are approximately 25 acquisitions, with estimated purchase accounting liabilities additions aggregating approximately $65.0 million, for which business integration plans have not been finalized. Individually, other than Paragon, none of these acquisitions are expected to have increases in purchase accounting liabilities in excess of $5 million as of September 30, 2002. With regards to Paragon, Eberle and CII, we anticipate additional purchase accounting liabilities of approximately $30 million, $8$25.8 million and $5 million, respectively, will be recorded for severance,a corresponding increase to goodwill and deferred tax assets. These additions reflect the termination of an additional 570 employees, the closure of an additional 22 facilities, additional distributor and supplier cancellation fees and other acquisition related costs consisting primarily of professional fees and other costs.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company reduced its estimate of purchase accounting liabilities relating to fiscal 2002 acquisitions by $27.4 million primarily because actual costs were less than originally estimated since the Company severed 659 fewer employees and closed 37 fewer facilities than originally anticipated due to revisions to integration plans. Goodwill and related deferred tax assets were reduced by an equivalent amount.

        Also during fiscal 2003, we reclassified certain fair value adjustments related to the finalizationwrite-down of the integration plans. In addition, the Company has engaged third-party valuation firms to independently appraise the fair value of certain assets acquired. Tyco is still in the process of obtaining 57 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED) independent valuations in order to finalize estimates for the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. At September 30,fiscal 2002 holdback/earn-out liabilities of $268.2 million remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $124.5 million are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $143.7 million are included in other long-term liabilities. These liabilities are payable in cash. In addition, a total of $101.4 millionacquisitions out of purchase accounting liabilitiesaccruals and into the appropriate asset or liability account. In addition, we reclassified certain amounts related to fiscal 2002 acquisitions remainedto separately classify distributor and supplier cancellation fees and to correct the categorization of other accruals. These reclassifications had no effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheet,amount of which $56.9 million are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $44.5 million are included in other long-term liabilities. Tyco expectsgoodwill that the terminationwas recorded.

        Termination of employees and consolidation of facilities related to allfiscal 2002 such acquisitions will beare substantially complete, within two years of the related dates of acquisition, except for long-term non-cancellable lease obligations and certain long-term severance arrangements.

        During fiscal 2002, the Company sold certain of its businesses for net proceeds of approximately $138.7 million in cash that consist primarily of certain businesses within the Healthcare and Specialty Products and Fire and Security Services segments. In connection with these dispositions, the Company recorded a net gain of $7.2 million (excluding a previous charge of $125.3 million for impairment associated with these assets which were held for sale).$23.6 million.

        The following unaudited pro forma data summarize the results of operations for the periods indicated as if fiscal 2002 and 2001 acquisitions and divestitures and the amalgamation with TyCom had been completed as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma data give effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and to adjustments forto interest expense and income taxes.

Purchase accounting liabilities recorded during fiscal 2001 consist of $366.1 million for severance and related costs; $282.9 million for costs associated with the shut down and consolidation of certain acquired facilities, including unfavorable leases, lease terminations and other related fees, and other costs; $179.9 million for distributor and supplier contractual cancellation fees; and $192.4 million for transaction and other costs. These purchase accounting liabilities relaterelating to fiscal 2001 acquisitions by $162.8 million primarily because actual costs were less than originally estimated since the Company severed 897 fewer employees and closed 25 fewer facilities than originally anticipated due to revisions to integration plans. Goodwill and related deferred tax assets in the acquisitions of Mallinckrodt Inc. in October 2000, LPS, Simplex Time Recorder Co. in January 2001 and the electronic security systems businesses of Cambridge Protection Industries, LLC in July 2001 ("SecurityLink.")aggregate were reduced by an equivalent amount.

        During fiscal 2001, the Company made payments totaling $20.0 million to Mr. Frank Walsh, a director of Tyco at the time of the CIT acquisition, and to a charitable organization specified by such director. The payments were direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of CIT and, accordingly, were included as part of the purchase price for CITCIT. The payments were refunded to the Company in fiscal 2003 (see Note 17)18). In connection with the fiscal 2001 purchase acquisitions, the Company began to formulate plans at the date of each acquisition for workforce reductions and the closure and consolidation of an aggregate of 349 facilities. The costs of employee termination benefits relate to the elimination of 6,297 positions in the United States, 1,559 positions in Europe, 1,354 positions in the Asia-Pacific region and 706 positions in Canada and Latin America, consisting primarily of manufacturing and distribution, administrative, technical, and sales and marketing personnel. Facilities designated for closure include 226 facilities in the United States, 54 facilities in Europe, 48 facilities in the Asia-Pacific region and 21 facilities in Canada and Latin America, consisting primarily of manufacturing plants, distribution facilities, sales offices, corporate administrative facilities and research and development facilities. At September 30, 2002, 14,907 employees had been terminated and 500 facilities had been closed or consolidated. During fiscal 2002, we recorded additions to purchase accounting liabilities as we continued to formulate the integration plans of fiscal 2001 acquisitions, such as LPS, Microser S.L. (integrated within 60 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED) the Electronics segment), DAAG, Edison and SecurityLink, among others. Finalization of components of integration plans associated with acquisitions resulted in additional purchase accounting liabilities of $339.4 million and a corresponding increase to goodwill and deferred tax assets. These additions reflect the elimination of an additional 8,570 employees, the closure of an additional 493 facilities, additional distributor and supplier cancellation fees and other acquisition related costs consisting primarily of professional fees and other costs. During fiscal 2002, the Company reduced its estimate of purchase accounting liabilities relating to fiscal 2001 acquisitions by $130.9 million primarily because actual costs were less than originally estimated since the Company severed 1,383 fewer employees and closed 242 fewer facilities than originally anticipated due to revisions to integration plans. Goodwill and related deferred tax assets were reduced by an equivalent amount. Also during the year ended September 30, 2002, we reclassified certain fair value adjustments related to the write-down of assets for fiscal 2001 acquisitions out of purchase accounting accruals and into the appropriate asset or liability account. In addition, we reclassified certain amounts in the preceding table related to fiscal 2001 acquisitions to separately classify distributor and supplier cancellation fees and to correct the categorization of other accruals. These reclassifications had no effect on the amount of goodwill that was recorded.

        In connection with the purchase acquisitions consummated during fiscal 2001, liabilities for approximately $129.7$13.8 million for severance and related costs, $207.5$98.0 million for the shutdown and consolidation of acquired facilities, $28.7$3.6 million for distributor and supplier contractual cancellation fees and $29.1$2.1 million in transaction and other direct costs remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2002.

Purchase accounting liabilities recorded during fiscal 2000 consist of $273.9 million for severance and related costs, $62.7 million for costs associated with the shut down and consolidation of certain acquired facilities, $32.3 million for distributor and supplier contractual cancellation fees and $57.3 million for transaction and other direct costs. The $273.9 million of severance and related costs covers employee termination benefits for approximately 7,215 employees located throughout the world, consisting primarily of manufacturing and distribution employees to be terminated as a result of the shut down and consolidation of production facilities and, to a lesser extent, administrative, technical and sales and marketing personnel. As we continued to formulate the integration plans of fiscal 2000 acquisitions, we recorded additions to purchase accounting liabilities during fiscal 2001 of $35.6 million for severence and related costs, reflecting the elimination of an additional 3,842 employees. At September 30, 2002, all but 77 employees had been terminated and $8.9 million in severance and related costs remained on the

3.    Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects that the remaining employee terminations will be completed in fiscal 2003. The $62.7 million of exit costs are associated with the closure and consolidation of 102 facilities located primarily in the Asia-Pacific region and the United States. These facilities include manufacturing plants, sales offices, corporate administrative facilities and research and development facilities. Included within these costs are accruals for non-cancelable leases associated with certain of these facilities. During fiscal 2001, we recorded additional liabilities of $36.5 million for the closure of an additional 86 facilities. All but 19 facilities had been closed or consolidated at September 30, 2002. The remaining facilities are primarily small sales and administrative offices, which are expected to be shut down in Fiscal 2003. During fiscal 2002, the Company reduced its estimate of purchase accounting liabilities relating to fiscal 2000 acquisitions by $49.8 million and, accordingly, goodwill and related deferred tax assets were reduced by an equivalent amount. These reductions resulted primarily from costs being less than originally anticipated. 63 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (CONTINUED) Also during fiscal 2002, we reclassified certain fair value adjustments related to the write-down of assets for fiscal 2000 acquisitions out of purchase accounting accruals and into the appropriate asset or liability account. In addition, we reclassified certain amounts in the preceding table related to fiscal 2000 acquisitions to separately classify distributor and supplier cancellation fees. These reclassifications had no effect on the amount of goodwill that was recorded. At September 30, 2002, there remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet purchase accounting liabilities of $22.1 million for employee severance (principally for payments to employees already terminated with severance paid out over time), facility related costs (principally for rents under non-cancelable leases for vacated premises) and other costs. The following unaudited pro forma data summarize the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the fiscal 2000 acquisitions and divestitures had been completed as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma data give effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and divestitures and adjustments to interest expense, goodwill amortization and income taxes. No effect has been given to cost reductions or operating synergies in this presentation. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisitions and divestitures had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented or that may be obtained in the future.

Of the $608.2 million, $143.1 million of inventory has been scrapped as of September 30, 2002. We expect the remaining written-off inventory to be scrapped over the next three to six months.

See "2001 Charges and Credits" above for further discussion regarding the $275.0 million charge. 6. CHARGES FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company 76 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. CHARGES FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS (CONTINUED) evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. When indicators of impairment are present, the carrying values of the assets are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. The net book value of an asset is adjusted to fair value if its expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than book value. Fair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

2003 Charges

        During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded total charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $824.9 million.

        The Fire and Security segment recorded charges for the impairment of intangible assets of $100.7 million resulting from a further deterioration of future estimated cash flows anticipated from customers primarily in Mexico and certain Latin American countries following the curtailment, and in some instances, the termination of the ADT dealer program in these countries. In addition, $11.2 million of impairment charges were recorded related to the discontinuance of two brand names. The Fire and Security segment also recorded charges for the impairment of property, plant and equipment of $20.9 million related primarily to subscriber systems and other fixed assets, and $10.2 million associated with the termination of a software development project.

        The Electronics segment recorded charges of $665.1 million, of which $664.3 million relates to the impairment of the TGN. This impairment was recorded to write-off the entire TGN as a result of our intention to divest this business. The amount of the impairment was based upon estimates of its fair value, less costs to dispose.

        The Company recorded charges for the impairment of property, plant and equipment of $14.6 million at Corporate, primarily related to the closure and relocation of corporate offices from New York to New Jersey and other impairment charges of $2.2 million within the Engineered Products and Services segment.

2002 CHARGESCharges

        During fiscal 2002, the Company recorded total charges for the impairment of long-lived assets in continuing operations of $3,489.5$3,309.5 million. During fiscal 2002, the

        The Fire and Security Services segment recorded a charge of $110.0$5.6 million related to the impairment of intangible assets resulting from the curtailment, and in certain markets, the termination of the authorizedADT dealer program. In addition, the Fire and Security Services segment recorded a charge of $107.0$109.1 million primarily related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment associated with the termination of a software development project. The software development project related to a strategy to develop a new comprehensive integrated customer database and associated applications for this segment and its acquired companies. During fiscal 2002, management, with the assistance of a third-party consultant, performed a full evaluation to determine the information technology needs of the Fire and Security business relative to where it stood then and expectations for it over the near future. As a result of this review, the Company decided to abandon the project, which was still in the development and testing stage, resulting in the write-off of capitalized costs of $107.0$109.1 million. During fiscal 2002, the

        The Electronics segment recorded a charge of $3,113.7$3,150.7 million, of which $2,544.7$2,581.7 million related to the impairment of the TGN, $541.0 million primarily related to property, plant and equipment associated with the closure of facilities as discussed in Note 5 and $28.0 million related to the impairment of intangible assets associated with undersea systems technology and know-how acquired through acquisitions. The fiberoptic

        During fiscal 2002, the fiber optic capacity available in the market continues to significantly exceedexceeded overall market demand, creatingwhich created sharply declining prices and reduced anticipated future cash flows. TheAs a result, the Company has assessed the carrying value of the TGN assuming a held and used model using an analysis that employsemployed estimates as to current and future market pricing, demand and network completion costs. This analysis iswas highly sensitive to changes in those estimates noted above. Based upon management'sthese estimates, the Company concluded that the value of its fiberopticfiber optic network was partially impaired and consequently recorded an impairment charge during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The amount of the impairment was based upon the difference between the carrying value of each asset group and the estimated fair value of those assets groups as of March 31, 2002. The estimated fair value of each asset group was determined using an income (discounted cash flow) approach. The cash flowsflow forecasts were prepared using the fifteen year15-year estimated weighted averageweighted-average useful life of each of the TGN asset groups. Probability factors were applied to various scenarios weighting the likelihood of each possible outcome. Then, each cash flow forecast was discounted using a weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital of 15% similar to that used for 77 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

Based upon these analyses, the sum of the expected future discounted cash flows was subtracted from the carrying values of the asset groups resulting in an impairment loss for the TGN. The entire TGN placed in service as of March 31, 2002 was written-off at that time, as well as a portion of TGN construction in progress of the TGN.progress. We reconsidered the factors noted above, such as projected operating results, business plans and an estimate of discounted future cash flows, in order to retest the carrying value of the TGN for a further impairment at June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002. We determined that no impairment charge was necessary at June 30, 2002. However, as the telecommunications industry further declined, an additional impairment charge was necessary and therefore recorded that amount as of September 30, 2002.

Management determined the value of the IPR&D using, among other factors, appraisals. 78 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. WRITE-OFF OF PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)

        In connection with Tyco's acquisition of Mallinckrodt Inc. during fiscal 2001, the Company wrote-off the fair value of purchased IPR&D of various projects for the development of new products and technologies in the amount of $184.3 million. ManagementThe Company determined the valuation of the IPR&D using, among other factors, appraisals. The value was based primarily on the discounted cash flow method. This valuation included consideration of (i) the stage of completion of each of the projects, (ii) the technological feasibility of each of the projects, (iii) whether the projects had an alternative future use, and (iv) the estimated future residual cash flows that could be generated from the various projects and technologies over their respective projected economic lives.

        As of the Mallinckrodt acquisition date, there were several projects under development at different stages of completion. The primary basis for determining the technological feasibility of these projects was obtaining Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval. As of the acquisition date, none of the IPR&D projects had received FDA approval. In assessing the technological feasibility of a project, consideration was also given to the level of complexity and future technological hurdles that each project had to overcome prior to being submitted to the FDA for approval. As of the acquisition date, none of the IPR&D projects waswere considered to be technologically feasible or to have any alternative future use.

        Future residual cash flows that could be generated from each of the projects were determined based upon management'san estimate of future revenue and expected profitability of the various products and technologies involved. These projected cash flows were then discounted to their present values taking into account management'sthe estimate of future expenses that would be necessary to bring the projects to

76



completion. The discount rates include a rate of return, which accounts for the time value of money, as well as risk factors that reflect the economic risk that the cash flows projected may not be realized. The cash flows were discounted at discount rates ranging from 14% to 25% per annum, depending on the project's stage of completion and the type of FDA approval needed. This discounted cash flow methodology for the various projects included in the purchased IPR&D resulted in a total valuation of $184.3 million. Although work on the projects related to the IPR&D continued after the acquisition, the amount of purchase price allocated to IPR&D was written off because the projects underlying the IPR&D that was being developed were not considered technologically feasible as of the acquisition date. As of September 30, 2002,2003, approximately 44%53% of the IPR&D projects have been successfully completed and approximately 30%25% of the projects have been discontinued or are currently inactive. The remainder are in various stages of completion. There are currently no expected material variations between projected results from the projects versus those at the time of the acquisition.

        The deferred tax benefits. Aasset valuation allowance has been provided primarily for operating loss carryforwards that are not expected to be utilized. The valuation allowance has increased substantially over the prior year. The increase in valuation allowance is primarilyby approximately $249 million due to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net operating losses.deferred tax assets on the balance sheet. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109 which requires a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. At September 30, 2002,2003, approximately $119.0$119 million of the valuation allowance will ultimately reduce goodwill if the net operating losses are utilized.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are routinelyperiodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. The Company is reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and is contesting suchcertain 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. Further, management has reviewed with tax counsel the issues raised by these taxing authorities and the adequacy of these tax accrued amounts.

        Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, or the investments are essentially permanent in duration. A liability could arise if amounts were distributed by their subsidiaries or if their subsidiaries were disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes related to the permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Tyco experienced disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan, a downgrade in its credit ratings, and a significant decline in its market capitalization. During this same time period, CIT also experienced credit downgrades and a disruption to its historical funding base. Further, market-based information used in connection with the Company's preliminary consideration of the proposed IPO of CIT indicated that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2002. As a result, the Company performed a SFAS No. 142 first step impairment analysis as of March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was warranted at that time.

        Management's objective in performing the SFAS No. 142 first step analysis was to obtain relevant market-based data to calculate the estimated fair value of CIT as of March 31, 2002 based on its projected earnings and market factors expected to be used by market participants in ascribing value to CIT in the planned separation of CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data from financial advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples and market condition discounts applicable to CIT as of March 31, 2002 and applied these market data to CIT's projected annual earnings as of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair value and any resulting goodwill 84 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF TYCO CAPITAL (CIT GROUP INC.) (CONTINUED) impairment. The estimated fair value was compared to the corresponding carrying value of CIT at March 31, 2002. As a result, wethe Company recorded a $4,512.7 million impairment charge as of March 31, 2002, which is included in discontinued operations.

        SFAS No. 142 requires a second step analysis whenever a reporting unit's book value exceeds estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit's individual assets and liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. The Company completed this second step analysis for CIT during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and, as a result, recorded an additional goodwill impairment charge of $132.0 million. During the June 30, 2002 quarter, CIT experienced further credit downgrades and the business environment and other factors continued to negatively impact the likely proceeds of the IPO. As a result, we performed another first step and second step analysis as of June 30, 2002 in a manner consistent with the March 2002 process described above. Each of these analyses was based upon updated market data at June 30, 2002 and through the period immediately following the IPO, including the IPO proceeds. These analyses resulted in a goodwill impairment of $1,867.0 million, which is also included in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2002.operations. Tyco also recorded an additional impairment charge of $126.4 million in order to write-down its investment in CIT to fair value for a total CIT goodwill impairment of $2,125.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.million. This write-down was based upon net IPO proceeds of approximately $4.4 billion, after deducting estimated out of pocket expenses, and is included in the $6,282.5 million loss from discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Tyco recorded a loss on the sale of Tyco Capital of $58.8 million. ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS--Tyco

Financing and Leasing Assets—Tyco Capital providesprovided funding for a variety of financing arrangements, including term loans, lease financing and operating leases. The amounts outstanding on loans and leases arewere referred to as finance receivables. Financing and leasing assets consistconsisted of finance receivables, finance receivables held for sale, net book value of operating lease equipment and certain investments.

        At the time of designation for sale, securitization or syndication, assets arewere classified as finance receivables held for sale, which are included in Net Assets of Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.sale. These assets arewere carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. LEASE FINANCING--Direct

Lease Financing—Direct financing leases arewere recorded at the aggregate future minimum lease payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income. Operating lease equipment iswas carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and iswas depreciated to estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the lease term or projected economic life of the asset. Equipment acquired in satisfaction of loans and subsequently placed on operating lease iswas recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value when acquired. Lease receivables includeincluded leveraged leases, for which a major portion of the funding iswas provided by third-party lenders on a nonrecourse basis, with Tyco Capital providing the balance and acquiring title to the property. Leveraged leases arewere recorded at the aggregate value of future minimum lease payments plus estimated residual value, less nonrecourse third-party debt and unearned finance income. Management performsperformed periodic reviews of the estimated residual values with impairment, other than temporary, recognized in the currentappropriate period. RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON FINANCE RECEIVABLES--The

Reserve for Credit Losses on Finance Receivables—The reserve for credit losses iswas periodically reviewed for adequacy considering economic conditions, collateral values and credit quality indicators, 85 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF TYCO CAPITAL (CIT GROUP INC.) (CONTINUED) including historical and expected charge-off experience and levels of past due loans and non-performing assets. Changes in economic conditions or other events affecting specific obligors or industries may necessitatehave necessitated additions or deductions to the reserve for credit losses. CHARGE-OFF OF FINANCE RECEIVABLES--Finance

Charge-off of Finance Receivables—Finance receivables arewere reviewed periodically to determine the probability of loss. Charge-offs arewere taken after considering such factors as the borrower's financial condition and the value of underlying collateral and guarantees (including recourse to dealers and manufacturers). Such charge-offs arewere deducted from the carrying value of the related finance receivables. To the extent that an unrecovered balance remainsremained due, a final charge-off iswas taken at the time collection efforts arewere no longer deemed useful. Charge-offs arewere recorded on consumer and certain small ticket commercial finance receivables beginning at 180 days of contractual delinquency based upon historical loss severity. IMPAIRED LOANS--Impaired

Impaired Loans—Impaired loans includeincluded primarily large loans that arewere placed on non-accrual status or any troubled debt restructuring. Loan impairment iswas defined as any shortfall between the estimated value and the recorded investment in the loan, with the estimated value determined using the fair value of the collateral, if the loan iswas collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. SECURITIZATIONS--Pools

Securitizations—Pools of assets arewere originated and sold to independent trusts which, in turn, issueissued securities to investors backed by the asset pools. Tyco Capital retainsretained the servicing rights and participatesparticipated in certain cash flows from the pools. The present value of expected net cash flows that exceedsexceeded the estimated cost of servicing iswas recorded at the time of sale as a "retained interest." Tyco Capital's retained interests in securitized assets are included in other assets. Subsequent to the recording of retained interests, Tyco Capital reviewsreviewed such values on an asset by asset basis at least as often as quarterly. Fair values of retained interests arewere calculated utilizing current and anticipated credit losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates and arewere then compared to the respective carrying values. Losses, representing the excess of carrying value over estimated current fair market value, arewere recorded as impairments and arewere recognized as a charge to operations. Unrealized gains arewere not credited to current earnings but arewere reflected in shareholders' equity as part of other comprehensive income. FINANCE INCOME--Includes

83



Finance income—Includes interest on loans, the accretion of income on direct financing leases, and rents on operating leases. Related origination and other nonrefundable fees and direct origination costs arewere deferred and amortized as an adjustment of finance income over the contractual life of the transactions. Income on finance receivables other than leveraged leases iswas recognized on an accrual basis commencing in the month of origination using methods that generally approximateapproximated the interest method. Leveraged lease income iswas recognized on a basis calculated to achieve a constant after-tax rate of return for periods in which Tyco Capital hashad a positive investment in the transaction, net of related deferred tax liabilities. Rental income on operating leases iswas recognized on an accrual basis.

        The accrual of finance income on commercial and consumer finance receivables iswas generally suspended and an account iswas placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest iswas contractually delinquent for 90 days or more, or earlier when, in the opinion of management, full collection of all principal and interest due iswas doubtful. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--See

Financial Instruments—See the Company's discussion of significant accounting policies included in Note 1 for information related to financial instruments. Additionally, Tyco Capital hashad derivatives, which 86 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF TYCO CAPITAL (CIT GROUP INC.) (CONTINUED) arewere designated as a cash flow hedge. If a derivative iswas designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative arewere recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income and arewere recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the hedged item affectsaffected earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges arewere recognized as a charge or credit to earnings.

12. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGESCumulative Effect of Accounting Changes

        As discussed in Note 30, the Company has three synthetic lease programs utilized, to some extent, by all of the Company's segments to finance capital expenditures for manufacturing machinery and equipment and for ships used by Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FIN 46 and, accordingly, restructured one of the synthetic leases to meet the requirements of FIN 46 for operating lease accounting. The Company has reclassified the remaining two leases as capital leases and consequently, recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, a $75.1 million loss after-tax ($115.5 million pre-tax) in fiscal 2003 in accordance with the provisions of FIN 46. In addition, four joint ventures within Tyco Infrastructure Services met the consolidation criteria set forth in FIN 46. As a result of both the synthetic lease reclassifications and the joint venture consolidations, the Company has increased property, plant and equipment, net, by $433.8 million and total debt by $562.2 million (effective July 1, 2003).

        In December 1999, the SEC issued SAB 101, in which the SEC Staff expressed its views regarding the appropriate recognition of revenue with respect to a variety of circumstances, some of which are relevant to the Company. As required under SAB 101, the Company modified its revenue recognition policies with respect to the installation of electronic security systems (see "REVENUE RECOGNITION""Revenue Recognition" within Note 1). In addition, in response to SAB 101, the Company undertook a review of its revenue recognition practices and identified certain provisions included in a limited number of sales arrangements that delayed the recognition of revenue under SAB 101. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for these items retroactive to the beginning of the fiscal year to conform to the requirements of SAB 101. This was reported as a $653.7 million after-tax ($1,005.6 million pre-tax) charge for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the fiscal 2001 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

84



        During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $249.4 million and $294.2 million, respectively, of revenue that had previously been included in the SAB 101 cumulative effect adjustment recorded as of October 1, 2000. The impact of SAB 101 on net revenues in fiscal 2001 was a net decrease of $241.1 million, reflecting the deferral of $520.5 million of fiscal 2001 revenues, partially offset by the recognition of $279.4 million of revenue that is included in the cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year.2001.

        The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, a $29.7 million loss, net of zero tax, in fiscal 2001 in accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

14. SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLESale of Accounts Receivable

        Tyco has several programs under which it sells participating interests in accounts receivable to investors who, in turn, purchase and receive ownership and security interests in those receivables. As collections reduce accounts receivable included in the pool, the Company sells new receivables. The Company has the risk of credit loss on the receivables and, accordingly, the full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts has been retained on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2002,2003, the availability under these programs is $1,025 million. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, and 2001, $933$803 million and $695$933 million, respectively, was utilized under the programs. The proceeds from the sales were used to repay short-term and long-term borrowings and for working capital and other corporate purposes and are reported as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The sale proceeds of sale are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount that approximates the cost that would be incurred if commercial paper were issued backed by these accounts receivable. The discount from the face amount is accounted for as a loss on the sale of receivables and has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such discount aggregated $29.0 million, $17.0 million, and $25.3 million, and $25.7 million, or 3.5%, 2.7%, 5.3% and 6.6%5.3% of the weighted-average balance of the receivables outstanding, during fiscal 2003, 2002 2001 and 2000,2001, respectively. The Company retains collection and administrative responsibilities for the participating interests in the defined pool. Also, some of our international businesses sell accounts receivable as a short-term financing mechanism. These transactions qualify as true sales. The aggregate amount outstanding under these arrangements was $157$202 million and $153$157 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Theprogram. However, the investors have not exercised this option and one program was subsequently amended to continue reinvestment.option. The amount outstanding under the otherthis program was $103.2 million and $132.4 million at September 30, 2002. In addition, during fiscal2003 and 2002, Tyco sold certain receivables from time to time to Tyco Capital prior to its disposition. The average amount sold during such period was $332.5 million, which is net of discounts equal to $15.4 million. These sales were eliminated as an intercompany transaction in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 88 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 14.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company initiated a divestiture program through which it plans to dispose of some non-core businesses. As part of this divestiture program, Tyco intends to sell the TGN. The Company plans to exit the TGN business because it has decided not to invest further in this industry which it believes is in need of consolidation. The Company plans to retain ownership of the construction and maintenance portion of Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. In connection with the decision to sell the TGN, the Company has written down the carrying value for the network to net realizable value and accordingly, has recorded a loss on impairment of $664.3 million, which is further discussed in Note 6. Fiscal 2003 revenues and operating loss for the TGN business were $14.4 million and $799.8 million, respectively. The $799.8 million includes the $664.3 million

Fiscal 2003

        As discussed in Note 3, during fiscal 2003, a change was made to the Company's internal reporting structure such that the operations of Tyco's plastics and adhesives businesses (previously reported within the Healthcare and Specialty Products segment) now comprise the Company's new Plastics and Adhesives reportable segment. As a result, the goodwill within the previous Healthcare and Specialty

87



Products segment was reassigned based on the relative fair value of the new reporting units within each new segment. No impairments resulted from this reevaluation.

        The Company performed its annual impairment assessments for all reporting units as of July 1, 2003. This assessment also resulted in no goodwill impairment.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reorganized its reporting structure (see Note 1). As part of that reorganization, the Company finalized a plan in September 2003, to sell TGN, the major operating asset of the Tyco Submarine Telecommunications business previously included in the Electronics segment. The Company plans to exit the TGN business because it has decided not to invest further in this industry. The reorganization resulted in a change in the composition of its reporting units. As a result, goodwill was reassigned to the new reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach, resulting in the recognition of impairment charges of $278.4 million in Power Systems, Electrical Contracting Services and the Printed Circuit Group. This charge was based on a valuation performed by a third party using an income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of each of the reporting units. After the impairment write-off, there is no goodwill remaining at the Power Systems and Printed Circuit Group reporting units.

Fiscal 2002

        Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, our transitional benchmark analysis concluded that there was no goodwill impairment at October 1, 2001. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Electronics segment recorded a charge of $2,181.4$2,218.4 million related to the impairment of the TGN, (fixed asset), as a result of the fiberopticfiber optic capacity available in the market place continuing to significantly exceedexceeding overall market demand, thereby creating sharply declining prices and reduced cash flows. For additional information on the TGN impairment charge, see Note 6. An updated 89 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 16. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) goodwill valuation was completed as of March 31, 2002 for Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. The valuation was completed using an income approach based upon the present value of future cash flows of the reporting unit as of March 31, 2002. However, this first step analysis resulted in no impairment of the Submarine Telecommunications reporting unit's goodwill at that date.

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, additional circumstances developed that indicated a potential impairment of the value of goodwill with respect to the Company's reporting units. Tyco experienced disruptions to its business surrounding the termination of its previously announced break-up plan, the resignation of its chief executive officer, further downgrades in its credit ratings and an additional decline in its market capitalization. Updated valuations were completed for all reporting units as of June 30, 2002 using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. An additional discount factor was then applied to reflect a decrease in reporting unit valuations for recent disruptions at the Company's corporate offices and negative publicity about Tyco, as evidenced by the decline in the Company's total market capitalization. This resulted in an estimated goodwill impairment of $844.4 million, $607.7 million relating to Submarine Tyco Telecommunications and $236.7 million relating to Tyco Infrastructure Services, a reporting unit within the Engineered Products and Services segment.

        During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, step two analyses, as prescribed by SFAS142SFAS No. 142 were completed for the Tyco Submarine Telecommunications and Tyco Infrastructure Services reporting units. This resulted in an incremental goodwill impairment on continuing operations of $162.0 million ($

88



($79.5 million relating Tyco Submarine Telecommunications and $82.5 million relating to Tyco Infrastructure)Infrastructure Services).

        During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, circumstances associated with the restructuring charges related to the Submarine Telecommunications reporting unit indicated potential further impairment of the value of goodwill of this reporting unit. An updated valuation using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows was completed as of September 30, 2002. The valuation resulted in an additional estimated goodwill impairment on continuing operations of $337.3 million. Following the impairments recorded during fiscal 2002 totaling $1,343.7 million, there is no goodwill remaining at the Tyco Submarine Telecommunications and Tyco Infrastructure Services reporting units.

        During fiscal 2002 we curtailed, and in certain markets terminated, the ADT authorized dealer program. Due to a decrease in projected purchases of customer contracts through the authorizedADT dealer program, an updated valuation using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows as of September 30, 2002 was performed for the Security Services reporting unit. The valuation results indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the book value of the reporting unit resulting in no impairment of the Security Services reporting unit's goodwill at that date. Further disruptions to Tyco's business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, continued downgrades in Tyco's credit ratings, and additional market capitalization declines may result in the Company having to perform another SFAS 142 first step valuation analysis for all of its reporting units prior to the required annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges to goodwill and other asset impairments in the future. We have elected to make July 1 the annual assessment date for all reporting units.

Purchases from Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. and Imperial Chemical Industries PLC during fiscal 2000,2003 were approximately $18 million and $16 million, respectively. Purchases from other companies noted above during fiscal 2003 aggregated less than $15 million.

        During fiscal 2002, L. Dennis Kozlowski, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (until June 2002), had outstanding loans from Tyco. The rate of interest charged on such loans was 1.91%. The maximum amount outstanding under these loans, during fiscal 2002 was $51.0 million plus accrued interest, of $3.2was $48.0 million and the amount outstanding$47.0 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, was $47.0 million.respectively.

        Tyco authorized compensation arrangements to Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz in fiscal 2001. In connection with such arrangements, Tyco purchased executive split dollar life insurance policies for Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz and entered into a shared ownership agreement with each of them whereby the Company agreed to pay premiums for these insurance policies for an 11 year period beginning in fiscal 2001. In 2001, amended policies were executed providing for additional Company paid premiums. The Company is a co-beneficiary of the policies, less amounts owed to Messrs Kozlowski and Swartz. Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz are the beneficiaries of the cash surrender values of the policies plus the amount of any unpaid premiums. The Company's obligations under these arrangements were entered into in recognition of services rendered by these officers and were not contingent upon continuing employment. In fiscal 2001, the Company deposited $30.8 million into a consolidated rabbi trust to fund premiums on the policies. The Consolidated Financial Statements include charges of $26.7 million related to the initial awards for Mr. Kozlowski and $13.6 million for Mr. Swartz in fiscal 2001 and charges of $4.9 million for Mr. Kozlowski and $2.1 million for Mr. Swartz in fiscal 2002 under the policy, as amended. The Consolidated Financial Statements include charges of $6.4 million for Mr. Kozlowski in fiscal 2003. In the event the investment options within the policies do not earn specified interest amounts, Tyco has guaranteed a supplemental premium payment amounting to ensure a 10% annual return on the cash surrender value, and any unpaid premiums. This liability is accreted by a charge to earnings throughout the period of the arrangements to make the specified supplemental premium payments, if any. In conjunction with Mr. Swartz's termination of employment, a lump sum payment of $24.6 million, which represented the present value of the annual premium

Tyco's ability to withdraw monies for purposes other than premium payments from the rabbi trust requires Mr. Kozlowski's approval. Tyco discontinued making premium payments for Mr. Kozlowski's insurance policy as of October 1, 2002. We have filed affirmative actions against Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz, seeking disgorgement of all benefits under these executive life insurance policies.

        In June 17, 2002, we filed a civil complaint against Frank E. Walsh, Jr. for breach of fiduciary duty, inducing breaches of fiduciary duty and related wrongful conduct involving a $20 million payment by Tyco, $10 million of which went to Mr. Walsh with the balance going to a charity of which Mr. Walsh is trustee. The payment was purportedly made for Mr. Walsh's assistance in arranging our acquisition of The CIT Group, Inc.

The felony charge accused Mr. Walsh of intentionally concealing information concerning the payment from Tyco's directors and shareholders while engaged in the sale of Tyco securities in the State of New York. The SEC action alleged that Mr. Walsh knew that the registration statement covering the sale of Tyco securities as part of the CIT acquisition contained a material misrepresentation concerning fees payable in connection with the acquisition. Pursuant to the plea and settlement, Mr. Walsh paid $20 million in restitution to Tyco on December 17, 2002. Our claims against Mr. Walsh are still pending. 94 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

The loan, which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco, has a variable LIBO-based rate, which was 4.99% as of September 30, 2002. Proceeds from the bridge loan and credit facilities were used to pay off maturing commercial paper at the scheduled maturities and to provide additional available capital for Tyco.

In June 2003, TIG paid off its $1.037 billion 6.875% private placement notes due 2002. (5) These debentures are due in February 2021. However, TIG is required to repurchase these debentures based on certain contractual put provisions at the option of the holders at the accreted value of approximately $1.9 billion in February 2003. TIG may repurchase themrepurchased for cash or Tyco common shares or some combination thereof. If the holders of the debentures exercise their put option, the number of common shares needed to satisfy the put option in lieu of cash is the fair value of Tyco's stock, based on the price for a defined period of time around the settlement date. Based on Tyco's stock prices as of a recent date (December 20, 2002), we would need to issue approximately 110 million common shares if all of the debentures were put back to TIG and we elected to use common shares to satisfy all of the debentures. Any shares issuable under the debentures were registered at the time of the offering. At the option of the holders Tyco may be required to repurchase the remaining debentures for cash at the then accreted value in February 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2016. During fiscal 2002 TIG repurchased $475.7 million (principal amount at maturity) of these debentures.

If the Remarketing Dealer does not exercise its option, then all Drs. are required to be tendered to the Company in June 2003. If these debentures are tendered, TIG would be required to repurchase them for cash. (7) These debentures are due in November 2020.

At February 12, 2003, the accreted value of TIG's zero coupon convertible debentures with a February 2003 put option was $1,850.8 million. On February 13, 2003, TIG purchased $1,850.1 million accreted value of these debentures for cash. This purchase resulted from the exercise of investors' option under TIG's commercial paper program.

20.    Guarantees

        The Company may, from time to time, enter into sales contracts whereby it will buy back (at a discount) a transaction from a customer's third-party financier in the event of a customer's default. For such transactions that include "shared risk," the Company accrues a liability based on historical loss data. As of September 30, 2003, $3.2 million was accrued related to these contracts. In the event the Company must pay for this shared risk, the Company's recourse is as follows: place the lease with a financially viable third-party financier; repossess the purchased products or equipment; seek payment through a personal guarantee issued by the customer; or, alternatively, sue the customer.

        The Company's Fire and Security business has guaranteed the performance of a third-party contractor. The performance guarantee arose from contract negotiations, because the contractor could provide cost-effective service on a telecommunications contract. In the event the contractor does not perform its contractual obligations, Tyco Fire and Security would perform the service itself. Therefore, the Company's exposure would be the cost of any services performed, which would not have a material effect to the Company's financial position or annual results of operations. Because it is not probable that the Company will have to make any payments or perform any services pursuant to the guarantee, it has not recorded any obligation related to the guarantee. The contract was entered into in July 2002 and expires at the end of the warranty period, July 2004. If the third-party sub-contractor does not perform its obligations, Tyco may consider withholding any future payment for work performed by the contractor.

        The Company, in disposing of assets or businesses, often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 22 for a discussion of these liabilities.

        The Company has guaranteed the fair value of certain vessels not to exceed $235 million and has accrued $10.4 million and $4.4 million as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, based on its estimate of fair value of the vessels (see Note 22).

        Due to the Company's downsizing of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, the Company has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, the Company would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. The Company believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For further information on estimated product warranty, see Note 1.

        Following is a roll forward of the Company's warranty accrual for the year ended September 30, 2003 ($ in millions).

        Settlements made include spending of $103.5 million by the Engineered Products and Services segment in connection with a Voluntary Replacement Program ("VRP") associated with the acquisition of Central Sprinkler. The VRP was initiated in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSrelates to the recall of certain Model GB fire sprinkler heads which were originally manufactured by Central Sprinkler. Identification and investigation of problems with the sprinkler heads commenced prior to Tyco's acquisition. All affected sprinkler heads are replaced over a 5-7 year period free of charge to property owners.

21. Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term investments, accounts payable, debt and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables,receivable, long-term investments and accounts payable 97 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) approximated book value at September 30, 20022003 and 2001.2002. See Note 1819 for the fair value estimates of debt.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, all derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, and changes in a derivative's fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. While it is not the Company's intention to terminate its derivative financial instruments, based on their estimated fair values, the termination at September 30, 2003 would have resulted in proceeds of $44.2 million for forward and option foreign currency exchange contracts, no proceeds for forward commodity contracts, and proceeds of $20.9 million for interest rate swapsswaps. The termination at September 30, 2002 would have resulted in aproceeds of $34.0 million gain, afor forward and option foreign currency exchange contracts, payments of $1.2 million loss,for forward commodity contracts, and aproceeds of $2.5 million gain, respectively, and at September 30, 2001 would have resulted in a $8.6 million gain, a $6.8 million loss and a $139.6 million gain, respectively.for interest rate swaps. At September 30, 20022003 and 2001,2002, the book values of derivative financial instruments recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair values. INTEREST RATE EXPOSURES

Interest Rate Exposures

        The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk by exchanging fixed rate interest on certain of its debt for variable rate amounts. These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Certain of the Company's interest rate swaps entered into during fiscal 2002,2003, as assessed using the short-cut method under SFAS No. 133, were highly effective. The ineffective

97



element of the gains and losses on certain other interest rate swaps during fiscal 2002, and fiscal 2001, totaling a net gain of $116.1 million, and a net gain of $19.7 million, respectively, havehas been recognized in interest expense, net, along with the effective element of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps and the related hedged debt. NET INVESTMENTS In fiscal 2001, Tyco used cross currency swaps and designated portions of foreign-currency denominated debt to hedge the foreign-currency exposure of certain net investments in foreign operations. A net unrealized loss of $39.4 million was included in the cumulative translation adjustment during fiscal 2001 in connection with these hedges. In fiscal 2002, the Company had no such swaps. OTHER

Other

        Tyco uses various options, swaps and forwards not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133 to hedge the impact of the variability in the price of raw materials, such as copper and other commodities, and the impact of the variability in foreign exchange rates on accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, intercompany loan balances and subsidiary earningsforecast transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies. 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

22.    Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company occupies certain facilities underhas facility, vehicle and equipment leases that expire at various dates through the year 2027.2050. Rental expense under these leases and leases for equipment was $861.8 million, $848.9 million $634.7 million and $442.7$634.7 million for fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, and fiscal 2000, respectively. At September 30, 2002,2003, the minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows (amounts include payments due on sale-leaseback transactions): $808.4 million in fiscal 2003, $685.1$714.2 million in fiscal 2004, $511.5$563.2 million in fiscal 2005, $397.9$421.4 million in fiscal 2006, $258.1$303.1 million in fiscal 2007, and $227.8 million in fiscal 2008 and an aggregate of $1,087.5$1,030.1 million in fiscal years 20082009 through 2027. In addition,2050. These payments include obligations under an off-balance sheet leasing arrangement for five cable laying sea vessels. Upon expiration of this lease in fiscal 2007, a subsidiary of the Company has the option to buy these vessels for approximately $280 million, or return the equipmentvessels to the lessor and, under sale-leaseback upon expirationa guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million.

        At September 30, 2003, the Company had a contingent liability of $80 million related to the lease term. These payments 98 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) would approximate $200fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net by the Electronics segment. The $80 million is the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. The $80 million is not accrued at September 30, 2003, as the outcome of this contingency cannot be reasonably determined.

        TIG entered into a $1.5 billion 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility which also provides for issuance of unsecured letters of credit. The facility was not utilized in fiscal 2005, $300 million in fiscal 2006 and $340 million in fiscal 2007. In January 2002, the Company issued a $200 million guarantee that can be exercised by a customer if certain specifications relating to the recently completed Pacific component of the TGN are not completed by March 2003. The Company does not anticipate any problems with meeting this deadline.

        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 or annual results of operations.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, and certainsome members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actionsactions. In the consolidated derivative action, the plaintiffs have filed a motion which seeks to add certain members of our current Board of Directors and management as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several ERISA claims,Employee

Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") actions. In addition, Tyco and some members of our former senior corporate management are subject to an SEC inquiry, and investigationssome members of our former senior corporate management are named as defendants in criminal cases being prosecuted by the District Attorney of New York CountyCounty. The findings and outcomes of the prosecutions and the U.S. Attorney forSEC civil action may affect the District of New Hampshire. We recently signed a consent agreement with the State of New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation that resolved the Bureau's investigation into the conduct of Tyco's previous management, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a total of $5 million as an administrative settlement to the State of New Hampshire and paid $100,000 to cover the costcourse of the Bureau's investigation.purported class actions, derivative actions and ERISA claims pending against Tyco.

It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse settlement of these matters.

        We and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC,SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. In addition, while we believe we have adequately responded to a Governmental Services Administration ("GSA") action questioning whether Tyco lacked the present responsibility to be a government contractor due to concerns the GSA has expressed as a result of the alleged serious criminal misconduct of our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, the GSA has reserved the right to take appropriate actions if additional information warrants it. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure youIt is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that the effects andmight result from an adverse settlement of these matters.

        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. Based upon Tyco's experience with environmental remediation matters,As of September 30, 2003, Tyco has concluded that it iswas probable that we willit would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $160$142 million to $460$451 million. As of September 30, 2002,2003, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately $248$270 million, of which $221$32 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $27$238 million is included in other long-term liabilities 99 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

Included within the $248 million is $193 million related to the acquisition of Mallinckrodt. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $248$270 million, the Company has concluded that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.cash flows.

        Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare division and our Engineered Products and Services division. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. Our vigorous defense of these lawsuits has resulted in judgments in our favor in all cases tried to verdict. We have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.

        When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of September 30, 2003, there were approximately 14,000 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.

        We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations financial position or cash flows. 21.

24.    Preference Shares

        Tyco has authorized 125,000,000 preference shares, par value of $1 per share, at September 30, 20022003 and September 30, 2001,2002, of which one such share was issued and designated a special voting preference share in connection with the purchase of CIT in June 2001. This preference share provided a mechanism by which the holders of outstanding exchangeable shares exercise their voting, dividend and liquidation rights, which were equivalent to those of Tyco common shareholders, except that each exchangeable share was equivalent to 0.6907 of a Tyco common share. In connection with the IPO of CIT, the exchangeable shares were redeemed effective July 5, 2002 through the issuance of 3,243,322 104 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 22. PREFERENCE SHARES (CONTINUED) Tyco common shares. As a result, no one is entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the preference share.

        Rights as to dividends, return of capital, redemption, conversion, voting and otherwise with respect to the preference shares may be determined by Tyco's Board of Directors on or before the time of issuance. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the holders of any preference shares then outstanding would be entitled to payment to them of the amount for which the preference shares were subscribed and any unpaid dividends prior to any payment to the common shareholders. 23. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

25.    Shareholders' Equity

        Shares owned by subsidiaries are treated as treasury shares and are recorded at cost. Included within Tyco's outstanding common shares at September 30, 2001 are 4,243,108 common shares representing the assumed exchange of 6,143,199 exchangeable shares (at 0.6907 of a Tyco common share per exchangeable share). Exchangeable shares of CIT Exchangeco Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco Capital Corporation, were issued by CIT prior to CIT's acquisition by Tyco. In connection with the acquisition of CIT, each outstanding exchangeable share, which was exchangeable prior to the merger for one share of CIT common stock, became exchangeable for 0.6907 of a Tyco common share. The holders of these exchangeable shares had dividend, liquidation and voting rights equivalent to those of Tyco common shareholders, except that each exchangeable share is equivalent to 0.6907 of a Tyco common share. In connection with the IPO of CIT, the exchangeable shares were redeemed effective July 5, 2002 through the issuance of 3,243,322 Tyco common shares.

        In fiscal 2001, Tyco sold 39 million common shares for approximately $2,198.0 million in an underwritten public offering. Net proceeds from the offering were $2,196.6 million and were used to repay debt incurred to finance a portion of the acquisition of CIT. Per share amounts and share data have been retroactively restated to give effect to the two-for-one stock split on October 21, 1999, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend.

        The total compensation cost expensed for all stock-based compensation awards discussed below was $43.4 million, $89.9 million $116.8 million and $137.4$116.8 million for fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, and fiscal 2000, respectively. RESTRICTED SHARES--The

Restricted Shares—The Company maintains a restricted share ownership plan, which provides for the award of an initial amount of common shares plus an amount equal to one-half of one percent of the total shares outstanding at the beginning of each fiscal year. At September 30, 2002,2003, there were 49,740,62359,831,883 shares authorized under the plan, of which 15,339,02116,223,413 shares had been granted. The number of shares available for issuance under the 1994 Restricted Stock Plan was reduced to 999,524 in October 2002. Common shares are awarded subject to certain restrictions with vesting varying over periods of up to ten years.

        For grants which vest based on certain specified performance criteria, the fair market value of the shares at the date of vesting is expensed over the period of performance, once achievement of criteria

106



is deemed probable. For grants that vest through passage of time, the fair market value of the shares at the time of the grant is amortized (net of tax benefit) to expense over the period of vesting. The unamortized portion of deferred compensation expense is recorded as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Recipients of all restricted shares have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends. Income tax benefits resulting from the vesting of restricted shares, including a deduction for the excess, 105 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 23. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) if any, of the fair market value of restricted shares at the time of vesting over their fair market value at the time of the grants and from the payment of dividends on unvested shares, are credited to contributed surplus. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS--Substantially

Employee Stock Purchase Plans—Substantially all full-time employees of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and employees of certain qualified non-U.S. subsidiaries are eligible to participate in an employee share purchase plan. Eligible employees authorize payroll deductions to be made for the purchase of shares. The Company matches a portion of the employee contribution by contributing an additional 15% of the employee's payroll deduction. All shares purchased under the plan are purchased on the open market by a designated broker.

        The Company also maintains two other employee stock purchase plans for the benefit of employees of certain qualified non-U.S. subsidiaries. Under one plan, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares at the end of three years of service at 85% of the market price at the time of grant. As of September 30, 2002,2003, there were approximately 764,0003.0 million options outstanding and 9.27.0 million shares available for future issuance under this plan. All shares purchased under the other plan are purchased on the open market. SHARE OPTIONS--Tyco

Share Options—Tyco has granted employee share options which were issued under two fixed share option plans which reserve common shares for issuance to Tyco's directors, executives and managers. The majority of options have been granted under the Tyco International Ltd. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, which consists exclusively of independent directors of the Company. Options are granted to purchase common shares at prices which are equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options which have been granted under the Incentive Plan to date have generally vested and become exercisable over periods of up to five years from the date of grant and have a maximum term of ten years. Tyco has reserved 140.0 million common shares for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Awards which Tyco becomes obligated to make through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired company are assumed and administered under the Incentive Plan but do not count against this limit. At September 30, 2002,2003, there were approximately 18.625.5 million shares available for future grant under the Incentive Plan. During October 1998, a broad-based option plan for non-officer employees, the Tyco Long-Term Incentive Plan II ("LTIP II"), was approved by the Board of Directors. Tyco has reserved 100.0 million common shares for issuance under the LTIP II. The terms and conditions of this plan are similar to the Incentive Plan. At September 30, 2002,2003, there were approximately 14.66.3 million shares available for future grant under the LTIP II.

        Options assumed as part of business combination transactions are administered under the Incentive Plan but retain all the rights, terms and conditions of the respective plans under which they were originally granted. 106 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION--SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," allows companies to measure compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using a fair value based method, or to continue to use an intrinsic value based method, which generally does not result in a compensation cost. Tyco continues to use the intrinsic value based method and does not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the time of grant. Had the fair value based method been adopted by Tyco and 107 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 23.

Deferred Stock UnitsThe following weighted-average assumptions were used for fiscal 2002:
TYCO ------------- Expected stock price volatility........................ 52% Risk free interest rate................................ 4.03% Expected annual dividend yield per share............... $0.05 Expected life of options............................... 5.0 years
The following weighted-average assumptions were used for fiscal 2001:
TYCO TYCOM ------------- ------------ Expected stock price volatility........................ 39% 80% Risk free interest rate................................ 5.18% 4.71% Expected annual dividend yield per share............... $ 0.05 -- Expected life of options............................... 4.4 years 4.0 years
The following weighted-average assumptions were used for fiscal 2000:
TYCO TYCOM ------------- ------------ Expected stock price volatility........................ 36% 60% Risk free interest rate................................ 6.35% 6.19% Expected annual dividend yield per share............... $ 0.05 -- Expected life of options............................... 4.5 years 4.5 years
The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of what the effects may be in future years. SFAS No. 123 does not apply to awards prior to 1995. Additional awards in future years are anticipated. DEFERRED STOCK UNITS--During fiscal 2002, the Company granted 1.7 million deferred stock units ("DSU's") under the existing Incentive Plan described above during fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, all of which were outstanding at September 30, 2002.2003. DSU's are notional units that are tied to the value of Tyco common shares with distribution deferred until termination of employment. Distribution, when made, will be in the form of actual shares. Similar to restricted stock grants that vest through the passage of time, the fair market value of the DSU's at the time of the grant is amortized to expense over the period of vesting. The unamortized portion of deferred compensation expense is recorded as a reduction of shareholders' 108 TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 23. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) equity. Recipients of DSU's do not have the right to vote such shares and do not have the right to

receive cash dividends. However, they have the right to receive dividends in the form of additional DSU's. DIVIDENDS--Tyco

Dividends—Tyco has paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0125 per common share since July 1997. 24. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME

        During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FIN 46, which requires identification of the Company's participation in VIE's, which are entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For entities identified as VIE's, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to VIE's, if any, bears a majority of the risk to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns.

        The Company has programs under which it sells machinery and equipment to investors who, in turn, purchase and receive ownership and security interests in those assets. As describedsuch, the Company may have certain investments in those affiliated companies whereby it provides varying degrees of financial support and where the investors are entitled to a share in the results of those entities but do not

111



consolidate these entities. While these entities may be substantive operating companies, they have been evaluated for potential consolidation under FIN 46.

        As discussed in Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002,12, the Company identified various adjustments relatinghas three synthetic lease programs utilized, to prior year financial statements,some extent, by all of the effectsCompany's segments to finance capital expenditures for manufacturing machinery and equipment and for ships used by Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. During fiscal 2003, the Company restructured one of the synthetic leases to meet the requirements of FIN 46 for operating lease accounting and reclassified the remaining two leases as capital leases. In addition, the Company evaluated other investments and concluded that four joint ventures that were previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting within Tyco Infrastructure Services, in which we own a minority interest, meet the consolidation criteria set forth in FIN 46. Accordingly, these ventures have been consolidated onto the Company's balance sheet. The following table presents balance sheet information for the VIE's that were included within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet under the transitional accounting prescribed by FIN 46 effective July 1, 2003 ($ in millions):

Restricted cash $21.7 
Accounts receivable  7.5 
Property, plant and equipment  433.8

Changes in Estimates Recorded During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2003—During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company intensified a process whereby internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews were conducted. As a result of this process, the Company recorded $388.7 million of pre-tax charges relating to new information and changes in facts and circumstances occurring during the quarter. The process included assessing the continued recoverability of assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and installed security systems and equity investments, and the estimated costs of settling legal, environmental and insurance obligations. The assessments were based on an analysis of the impact of circumstances that occurred during the quarter and on our assessment of the recoverability of certain assets and costs to settle certain liabilities. The assessments include changes in judgments relative to the adequacy of reserves and contingent liabilities. Concurrent with

113



this review process and resulting assessments by management during the quarter, we decided to discontinue existing product lines and terminate an information technology systems implementation project. As a result of these decisions, inventory and other asset balances were written down to their net realizable value.

        The impact of the $388.7 million of net charges recorded in the second quarter and included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2003, is as follows:

Cost of sales $(110.5)
Selling, general and administrative expense  (243.1)
Restructuring and other credits (charges), net  59.6 
Charges for the impairment of long-lived assets  (10.2)
  
 
Operating income  (304.2)
Other expense, net  (84.5)
  
 
Income from continuing operations before taxes and minority interest $(388.7)
  
 

        The net charges of $388.7 million include $139.6 million related to asset reserve valuations, $95.4 million of increased cost estimates for insurance accruals ($49.3 million for workers' compensation accruals and $46.1 million for product and general liability insurance accruals), $84.1 million related to an other than temporary decline in the value of investments, $62.3 million for other accounting estimate changes described below, environmental accruals of $18.0 million, legal accruals of $20.0 million, other various accruals of $15.2 million, $16.4 million for account write-offs included primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses, where we concluded that the recoverability of various asset balances had become doubtful and $10.2 million write-off representing capitalized external costs of a European financial computer system based on the Company's decision in the second quarter to discontinue the new system under development and continue to use the existing system. The above charges are partially offset by credits of $72.5 million, of which $12.9 million is included in cost of sales, related to restructuring charge reversals (see Note 5) that arose during the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        The $139.6 million of adjustments for asset valuations includes a $76.4 million write-down of inventories, $51.9 million increase for allowance for doubtful accounts and $11.3 million write-off of subscriber systems. The inventory charge of $76.4 million was primarily due to the finalization of plans regarding the disposition of inventory in connection with curtailed programs and product lines and the Company's decision during the second quarter to exit certain product lines in our fire and security business. The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $51.9 million and the write-off of subscriber systems of $11.3 million was primarily due to the further deterioration in the accounts receivable aging and increased customer cancellations in certain non-strategic European security businesses during the second quarter. The inventory charge and subscriber systems adjustments are included in cost of sales and the allowance for doubtful accounts is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not expect these changes to have an adverse impact on future operations.

        The workers' compensation and product and general liability changes in estimate are based on third-party actuarial reviews of insurance liabilities. The charge of $95.4 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses ($65.2 million), and cost of product sales ($30.2 million). This

114



adjustment relates to changes in facts and circumstances occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 which necessitate a change in assumptions and estimates. In particular, the Company identified trend data which required the Company to revise its assumptions as a result of an unanticipated increase in the number and changes in the nature of claims incurred and the rate of increase of medical costs, as well as the emergence of previously unanticipated new claims. In addition, the Company experienced an increase in workers' compensation expense, particularly in California, as a result of adverse legal developments toward employers.

        The $84.1 million investment write-down, included in other (expense) income, net, primarily consists of a $75.6 million loss on various equity investments. It became evident in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 that the declines in the fair values of the investments were other than temporary, primarily due to depressed economic conditions. Factors that management considered in making their assessment included investees' inability to raise funds during the quarter, bankruptcy, continued losses by the investees, lack of sufficient future expected cash flows, and lower entity valuations based on recent private financing activity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company also recognized other expense of $8.5 million in connection with a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee (see Note 20). It is possible that the Company may have additional write-downs on other investments if market conditions continue recent negative trends.

        The $62.3 million for other accounting estimates includes a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of $17.3 million resulting from the Company's revision in the second quarter of deferred commissions related to long-term contracts, $12.1 million to write-down company-owned properties based on real estate assessments and purchase offers received in the second quarter for assets held for sale, $11.5 million of additional severance related to terminated executives, and $21.4 million of other accounting estimate changes, none of which are individually significant, that were included primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses.

        An increase of $18.0 million due to increased environmental accruals resulting from the finalization of the Company's plan to remediate one of its manufacturing sites in the second quarter, $20.0 million to establish an accrual related to the estimated settlement amount for contractual disputes and other legal matters based on our determination that such amounts became both probable and

115



estimable in the second quarter, and $15.2 million of other miscellaneous increased accrual estimates are primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As described in Note 11 to the

Results of Operations

Introduction

        The Consolidated Financial Statements CIT Group Inc. ("CIT"), which comprisedinclude the operations of the Tyco Capital business segment, was sold in an initial public offering ("IPO") in July 2002. Consequently, the resultsconsolidated accounts of Tyco Capital are presented as discontinued operations. References to Tyco refer toInternational Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its continuing operations, withsubsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter "we," the exception of the discussions regarding discontinued operations below. The continuing operations of Tyco represent what was referred to as Tyco Industrial in prior filings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION Our results for fiscal 2002 were adversely affected by: decreased demand, as a result of the overall economic downturn, particularly in the telecommunications"Company" or "Tyco") and electronics markets; the termination of our previously announced plan to separate into four independent publicly traded companies; rumors and negative publicity; the resignation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer; the replacement of other members of our senior management; the indictment of former members of our senior management; concern regarding our ability to maintain compliance with debt covenants and meet upcoming debt maturities; and the announced investigation being conducted by the Company's outside counsel. All of these factors affected employees, customers, vendors and investors. These effects are continuing. In January 2002, our Board of Directors became aware of the first of many unauthorized actions that ultimately led to the resignations of our former chief executive officer and chief financial officer and the termination of our chief legal officer as well as the decision not to re-nominate one of our directors. In September 2002, our former chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer were each charged with violating New York state criminal law as a result of their actions. In December 2002, the former director was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, violating New York state criminal law as a result of his actions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, we announced the hiring of a new chief executive officer, a new chief financial officer and a new chief legal officer, as well as other key executives, and also announced the initiation of external and internal investigations. INVESTIGATION--With the arrival of new senior management, the Company has engaged in a number of internal reviews aimed at determining what, if any, misconduct may have been committed by prior senior management. An initial review of prior senior management's transactions with the Company was conducted by the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. The details of their findings were made publicprepared in a Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2002. In July 2002, our new CEO and our Board of Directors ordered a further review of corporate governance practices and the accounting of selected acquisitions. This review has been referred to as the "Phase 2 review." The Phase 2 review was conducted by the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP and the Boies firm was in turn assisted by forensic accountants. The review received the full cooperation of Tyco's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as well as Tyco's new senior management team. The review included an examination of Tyco's reported revenues, profits, cash flow, internal auditing and control procedures, accounting for major acquisitions and reserves, the use of non-recurring charges, as well as corporate governance issues such as the personal use of corporate assets and the use of corporate funds to pay personal expenses, employee loan and loan forgiveness programs. Approximately 25 lawyers and 100 accountants worked on the review from August into December 2002. In total, at considerable cost, more than 15,000 lawyer hours and 50,000 accountant hours were dedicated to this review. The review team examined documents and interviewed Tyco personnel at more than 45 operating units in the United States dollars, and in 12 foreign countries. The results of the Phase 2 Review were reported by the Company in a Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on December 30, 2002. Among other findings, the report noted that "the Company's prior 123 management engaged in a pattern of aggressive accounting which, even when in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles was intended to increase reported earnings above what they wouldin the United States ("GAAP").

        The Company operates in the following business segments:

    Fire and Security designs, manufactures, installs, monitors and services electronic security and fire protection systems.

    Electronics designs, manufactures and distributes electrical and electronic components, and designs, manufactures, installs, operates and maintains undersea fiber optic cable communications systems.

    Healthcare designs, manufactures and distributes medical devices and supplies, imaging agents, pharmaceuticals and adult incontinence and infant care products.

    Engineered Products and Services designs, manufactures, distributes and services engineered products including industrial valves and controls and steel tubular goods and provides environmental and other industrial consulting services.

    Plastics and Adhesives designs, manufactures and distributes plastic products, adhesives and films.

Overview

        Although acquisitions of complementary businesses have been if more conservative accounting had been employed." While mostan important part of the matters identified by the investigation as "aggressive accounting" were determined by the Company, in consultation with its auditors, to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there were certain adjustments identified as relating to years preceding fiscal 2002. Such adjustments were recordedTyco's growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, and are discussed further below. See also Item 14. "Controls and Procedures". CHARGES RELATING TO PRIOR YEARS RECORDED IN FISCAL 2002--During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company identified various adjustments relating to prior year financial statements. Management concluded the effects of these adjustments, as well as any unrecorded proposed audit adjustments, were not material individually or in the aggregate to the current year or any prior year. Accordingly, prior year financial statements have not been restated. Instead, these adjustments, which aggregate $261.6 million on a pre-tax income basis, or $199.7 million on an after-tax income basis have been recorded effective October 1, 2001. The nature and amounts of these adjustments are principally as follows: - The Company determined the amounts reimbursed from dealers under ADT's authorized dealer program exceeded the costs actually incurred. The cumulative effect of reimbursements recorded in years prior to fiscal 2002 in excess of costs incurred, net of the effect of the deferred credit, which would have been amortized as described in Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, is $185.9 million. - The Company determined that the gain of $64.1 million on the issuance of TyCom shares previously reported for fiscal 2001 should have been lower by $39.6 million. - The Company identified several adjustments both as a result of the Phase 2 review and the recording of previously unrecorded audit adjustments, which are more appropriately recorded as expenses, rather than as part of the Company's acquisition accounting. The cumulative effect of the adjustments necessary to revise the prior accounting is a pre-tax charge of $36.1 million. The fiscal years to which the charges relate are as follows ($ in millions):
PRIOR TO FISCAL FISCAL FISCAL TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT 2000 2000 2001 TOTAL - ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ADT dealer reimbursements................................... $33.6 $53.5 $ 98.8 $185.9 Gain on issuance of shares of TyCom......................... -- -- 39.6 39.6 Other adjustments........................................... 22.7 26.4 (13.0) 36.1 ----- ----- ------ ------ Totals...................................................... $56.3 $79.9 $125.4 $261.6 ===== ===== ====== ======
These adjustments would have impacted income (loss) from continuing operations and net income (loss). Income (loss) from continuing operations would have been impacted as follows: fiscal 2000 $4,464 million compared with $4,520 million; fiscal 2001 $4,297 million compared with $4,402 million; and fiscal 2002 $(2,871) million compared with $(3,070) million. Net income (loss) would have been impacted as follows: fiscal 2000 $4,464 million compared with $4,520 million; fiscal 2001 $3,866 million compared with $3,971 million; and fiscal 2002 $(9,212) million compared with $(9,412) million. OVERVIEW Ourpast, our business strategy and near-term actions focusnow focuses on enhancing internal growth withinand operational efficiency for existing Tyco businesses. We plan to achieve this goal through new product innovation, increased market share, increasedincreasing the service and repair components of our existing businesses and continued geographic expansion. Acquisitions have been an important partWe are also implementing initiatives across our business segments to achieve best-in-class operating practices utilizing six sigma measurements. Additionally, we announced that we are evaluating the disposition of Tyco's growth in recent years. While we may continuesome proposed non-core businesses to make selected complementary acquisitions, we anticipate thatbe effected during the amount of acquisition activity will be significantly reduced, and, therefore, expect that our growth rate in revenues and earnings from acquisitions will also be reduced as compared to prior periods. 124 As evidenced by the restructuring charges recorded during fiscal 2002, we will continue to implement cost-cutting initiatives in order to improve earnings and margins.next year.

        Information for all periods presented below reflects the grouping of Tyco's businesses into fourfive segments, consisting of Fire and Security, Services, Electronics, Healthcare, and Specialty Products, and Engineered Products and Services.Services, and Plastics and Adhesives. During fiscal 2002, we changed our internal reporting structure (due to the amalgamation with TyCom Ltd. that eliminated the publicly held minority interest) such that the operations of the former Telecommunications segment are now reported as part of the Electronics segment. In addition, during fiscal 2002,2003, a change was made to ourthe Company's internal reporting structure such that the operations of Tyco's flow controlplastics and adhesives businesses and the environmental engineering business (previously reported within the FireHealthcare and Security Services segment) and Tyco's electrical and metal products business (previously reported within the ElectronicsSpecialty Products segment) now comprise the Company's new Engineered ProductsPlastics and ServicesAdhesives reportable segment. The Company has conformed its segment reporting accordingly and has reclassified comparative prior period information to reflect this change. References to Tyco refer to the Company's continuing operations. Also in fiscal 2002, Tyco sold its financial services business (Tyco Capital) through an IPOinitial public offering ("IPO") of CIT Group Inc.CIT. The historical results of our financial services business are presented as "Discontinued Operations." See "Discontinued Operations of Tyco Capital (CIT Group Inc.)" below for more information regarding the discontinued operations of Tyco Capital.

        We are currently assessing the potential impact of various legislative proposals that would deny U.S. federal government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. Tyco became a Bermuda-based company as a result ofThe legislative proposals could cover the 1997 business combinationacquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, andby 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). Currently, Tyco's revenues related, as a result of which ADT changed its name to U.S. federal governmentTyco International Ltd. and became the parent to the Tyco group. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the State of California adopted legislation that purports to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other foreign-chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. Although the California law provides that waivers may be issued permitting such companies

127



to participate in state contracts account for less than 3% of net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.under certain circumstances, it is unclear how that waiver authority will be exercised. In addition, various stateother states and other municipalities in the U.S. have proposed similar legislation. There also is also other similarsimilarly proposed tax legislation, which could substantially increase our corporate income taxes and, consequently, decrease future net income and increase our future cash outlay for taxes.

        Tyco's revenues related to U.S. federal government and California state contracts account for less than 2% and 0.1%, respectively, of total net revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. We are unable to predict, with any level of certainty, the likelihood or final form in which any proposed legislation might become law, or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any such future legislative enactments.enactments or the impact such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our governmental business or on non-governmental customers' willingness to do business with us. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the impact on us of any proposed legislation in this area and can provide no assurance that they will not be materially adverse.

- ------------------------------ (1) This amount includes restructuring program. As part of this program, we plan to sell the TGN, our undersea fiber optic telecommunications system. The market for the TGN is challenged by significant overcapacity and other unusual charges relatedsevere pricing pressure and the industry is in need of consolidation. However, we plan to inventoryretain ownership of the construction and maintenance portion of Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. In addition to selling the TGN, we are also starting a broader divestiture program designed to increase the focus on our core operations by exiting certain operations that do not meet our criteria for strategic fit or financial returns. Combined fiscal 2003 revenues for businesses under consideration for potential divestiture within the Electronics, Fire and Security, Engineered Products and Services, and Healthcare segments totaled approximately $2 billion and operating income totaled approximately $55 million (excluding operating loss from the TGN of

128



$115 million). Overall, this entire potential divestiture program represents just below 6% of Tyco's fiscal 2003 revenue. We are estimating that the potential proceeds (excluding the proceeds from the sale of the TGN) could be at least $400 million once the program is completed. If we dispose of these businesses, we may not fully recover their recorded book values. At September 30, 2003, however, under the held and used model, the assets of these businesses were fully recoverable. The restructuring program announced in November 2003 is designed to improve our cost structure primarily in the amount of $635.4 million, $184.9 millionFire and $1.0 million for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which have been deducted as part of cost of salesSecurity, but also in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Similarly, this amount includes an unusual charge related to a provision for bad debtsPlastics and Adhesives and in the amountEngineered Products and Services segments and is an important element of $115.0 million for fiscal 2002 which has been deducted as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 126 building a stronger operating foundation.

        During fiscal 2002, we recorded restructuring and other unusual charges and charges for the impairment of long-lived assets related primarily to the significant decrease in demand in certain end markets within our Electronics segment. Under our restructuring and integration programs, we terminate employees and close facilities made redundant. The reduction in manpower and facilities comes from the manufacturing, sales and administrative functions. In addition, we discontinue or dispose of product lines, which do not fit the long-term strategy of the respective businesses. We have not historically tracked the impact on financial results of the restructuring and integration programs. However, we estimate that our overall cost structure has been reduced by approximately $910 million on an annualized basis, of which approximately $315 million relates to selling, general and administrative expenses, and approximately $595 million to cost of sales. The $910 million estimated overall annualized cost savings as a result of restructuring activities in fiscal 2002 was based on a summary of estimated cost savings. In determining the amount of cost savings, management looked at the salaries and benefits of the people that were terminated to derive the annual savings. As it relates to facility closures, the cost savings represents the rent, plant operating expenses and depreciation on the assets that will no longer be incurred. When

        Historically, when we makemade an acquisition, we typically beginbegan to integrate the acquired company with our existing operations immediately. As part of ourthis integration process, we often eliminate duplicate functions by closing corporate and administrative offices, and we attempt to make the combined companies more cost efficient by combining manufacturing facilities, product lines, sales offices and marketing efforts. As a result of our integration processes, most acquired companies are no longer separately identifiable. Consequently, we are generally unable to separately track the post-acquisition financial results of acquired companies. The discussions following the tables below include percentages for revenue growth or decline that exclude increased revenue attributable to specified acquisitions and that eliminate the effects of period to period currency fluctuations. Revenue growth or decline percentages excluding the specified acquisitions are pro forma estimates calculated by assuming the acquisitions were made at the beginning of the relevant fiscal periods by adding back pre-acquisition revenue of the specified acquired companies for both periods in the comparison. A majority of the companies that we acquire operate within the same industry as the segment into which the acquired company is integrated and, consequently, we assume that the companies that we acquire generally have a comparable growth percentage. We calculate pro forma segment growth using this methodology because we generally do not have the ability to capture post-acquisition revenues related to individual acquisitions since most companies are immediately integrated upon acquisition. The calculations of the pro forma growth analysis, excluding acquisitions discussed in the segment narratives below, include all acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more in the pro forma calculation and do not include acquisitions with a purchase price of less than $10 million, due to the relative size of these smaller acquisitions compared to Tyco's operating results and the large number of acquisitions during certain of the periods presented. These smaller acquisitions represent approximately 6% of the total purchase price for all acquisitions during the years ended September 30, 20022003 and 2001.2002. Since these pro forma estimates are based on pre-acquisition revenues, they are not necessarily indicative of post-acquisition results. This calculation is similar to the method used in calculating the acquisition-related pro forma results of operations in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141.

        In the discussions that follow, we describe the reasons for changes in results for each segment, although we do not quantify the impact of the various factors.every factor. In order to quantify each factor contributing to a change in operating income and margins, we would need to exclude the results of acquisitions. As previously noted, since acquisitions are generally integrated within our existing operations immediately upon acquisition, we generally do not have the ability to exclude the effect of acquired businesses when quantifying increases and decreases in operating income and margins. 127 SEGMENT REVENUE, OPERATING INCOME AND MARGINS FIRE AND SECURITY SERVICES

Changes in Estimates

Changes in Estimates Recorded During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2003

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring and other charges and credits, purchase accounting liabilities, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows associated with asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, net realizable value of inventories, fair values of financial instruments, estimated contract revenues and related costs, environmental liabilities, income taxes and tax valuation reserves, and the determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and post-retirement employee benefit expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the results of operations in the period that the events and circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company intensified a process whereby internal audits and detailed controls and operating reviews were conducted. As a result of this process, the Company recorded $388.7 million of pre-tax charges relating to new information and changes in facts and circumstances occurring during the quarter. The process included assessing the continued recoverability of assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and installed security systems and equity investments, and the estimated costs of settling legal, environmental and insurance obligations. The assessments were based on an analysis of the impact of circumstances that occurred during the quarter and on our assessment of the recoverability of certain assets and costs to settle certain liabilities. The assessments include changes in judgments relative to the adequacy of reserves and contingent liabilities. Concurrent with this review process and resulting assessments by management during the quarter, we decided to discontinue existing product lines and terminate an information technology systems implementation project. As a result of these decisions, inventory and other asset balances were written down to their net realizable value.

        The impact of the $388.7 million of net charges recorded in the second quarter and included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2003, is as follows:

Cost of sales $(110.5)
Selling, general and administrative expense  (243.1)
Restructuring and other credits (charges), net  59.6 
Charges for the impairment of long-lived assets  (10.2)
  
 
Operating income  (304.2)
Other expense, net  (84.5)
  
 
Income from continuing operations before taxes and minority interest $(388.7)
  
 

        The net charges of $388.7 million include $139.6 million related to asset reserve valuations, $95.4 million of increased cost estimates for insurance accruals ($49.3 million for workers' compensation accruals and $46.1 million for product and general liability insurance accruals), $84.1 million related to an other than temporary decline in the value of investments, $62.3 million for other accounting estimate changes described below, environmental accruals of $18.0 million, legal

130



accruals of $20.0 million, other various accruals of $15.2 million, $16.4 million for account write-offs included primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses, where we concluded that the recoverability of various asset balances had become doubtful and $10.2 million write-off representing capitalized external costs of a European financial computer system based on the Company's decision in the second quarter to discontinue the new system under development and continue to use the existing system. The above charges are partially offset by credits of $72.5 million, of which $12.9 million is included in cost of sales, related to restructuring charge reversals (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) that arose during the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

        The $139.6 million of adjustments for asset valuations includes a $76.4 million write-down of inventories, $51.9 million increase for allowance for doubtful accounts and $11.3 million write-off of subscriber systems. The inventory charge of $76.4 million was primarily due to the finalization of plans regarding the disposition of inventory in connection with curtailed programs and product lines and the Company's decision during the second quarter to exit certain product lines in our fire and security business. The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $51.9 million and the write-off of subscriber systems of $11.3 million was primarily due to the further deterioration in the accounts receivable aging and increased customer cancellations in certain non-strategic European security businesses during the second quarter. The inventory charge and subscriber systems adjustments are included in cost of sales and the allowance for doubtful accounts is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not expect these changes to have an adverse impact on future operations.

        The workers' compensation and product and general liability changes in estimate are based on third-party actuarial reviews of insurance liabilities. The charge of $95.4 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses ($65.2 million), and cost of product sales ($30.2 million). This adjustment relates to changes in facts and circumstances occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 which necessitate a change in assumptions and estimates. In particular, the Company identified trend data which required the Company to revise its assumptions as a result of an unanticipated increase in the number and changes in the nature of claims incurred and the rate of increase of medical costs, as well as the emergence of previously unanticipated new claims. In addition, the Company experienced an increase in workers' compensation expense, particularly in California, as a result of adverse legal developments toward employers.

        The $84.1 million investment write-down, included in other (expense) income, net, primarily consists of a $75.6 million loss on various equity investments. It became evident in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 that the declines in the fair values of the investments were other than temporary, primarily due to depressed economic conditions. Factors that management considered in making their assessment included investees' inability to raise funds during the quarter, bankruptcy, continued losses by the investees, lack of sufficient future expected cash flows, and lower entity valuations based on recent private financing activity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company also recognized other expense of $8.5 million in connection with a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). It is possible that the Company may have additional write-downs on other investments if market conditions continue recent negative trends.

131


        The $62.3 million for other accounting estimates includes a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of $17.3 million resulting from the Company's revision in the second quarter of deferred commissions related to long-term contracts, $12.1 million to write-down company-owned properties based on real estate assessments and purchase offers received in the second quarter for assets held for sale, $11.5 million of additional severance related to terminated executives, and $21.4 million of other accounting estimate changes, none of which are individually significant, that were included primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses.

        An increase of $18.0 million due to increased environmental accruals resulting from the finalization of the Company's plan to remediate one of its manufacturing sites in the second quarter, $20.0 million to establish an accrual related to the estimated settlement amount for contractual disputes and other legal matters based on our determination that such amounts became both probable and estimable in the second quarter, and $15.2 million of other miscellaneous increased accrual estimates are primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

        Net revenues in the Fire and Security Services segment increased 6.1% in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002, including a 3.4% increase in product revenue and an 8.5% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenues was due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($519.7 million) and fiscal 2002 acquisitions ($213.8 million calculated in the manner described above in "Overview"). Acquisitions included SBC/Smith Alarm Systems in October 2001, DSC Group and Sensormatic in November 2001, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more. In addition, an increase in net revenues due to customer contracts purchased through the ADT dealer program ($371.2 million) and generated through our internal sales force offset a decline in revenue due to increased attrition rates in worldwide security. The overall increase was also partially offset by a decline in net revenues at worldwide fire protection due to continued softness in the commercial construction market.

        Operating income and margins decreased significantly in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002 due to charges totaling $512.4 million recorded during fiscal 2003. Included within the $512.4 million are charges of $266.7 million related to changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (includes charges of $127.6 million primarily related to adjustments to accrual balances such as workers compensation, professional fees, and environmental exposure, a charge of $98.1 million primarily due to adjusting reserves for doubtful accounts and slow and non-moving inventory, as well as a write-off of subscriber systems, charges of $34.5 million for other accounting adjustments primarily related to deferred commissions, and charges of $6.5 million related to reconciling items in the current period) in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits, detailed controls and operating reviews and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates. Also included within the $512.4 million are impairment charges of $143.0 million primarily related to the impairment of intangible assets associated with the ADT dealer program mostly as a result of increased attrition rates (discussed below), and to the impairment of property, plant and equipment of subscriber systems and other fixed

132



assets; net restructuring and other charges of $9.7 million, of which charges of $3.5 million are included in cost of sales and $2.8 million is for the write-off of non-current assets, related to streamlining the business; and other charges of $93.0 million, of which $34.0 million is included in cost of sales and $59.0 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily related to uncollectible receivables, product warranty and the dismantlement of customers' ADT security systems. Included within the $143.0 million impairment charge and the $9.7 million net restructuring charge is a charge of $10.2 million and a credit of $2.0 million, respectively, also related to changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in operating income and margins was also due to increased depreciation and amortization expense in the security business due to growth in the subscriber asset and dealer asset base as well as the impact of the acquisitions of Sensormatic Electronics Corporation ("Sensormatic") and DSC Group ("DSC") in fiscal 2002; decline in operating income in the continental European security business; and a weaker worldwide fire and contracting environment. The Fire and Security segment expects to incur additional restructuring charges in future periods related to the comprehensive cost reduction program announced on November 4, 2003.

        Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business averaged 15.9% on a trailing twelve-month basis for fiscal 2003, as compared to 13.2% for fiscal 2002. This increase relates to attrition in customer accounts acquired through our worldwide dealer program, as well as internally generated commercial customer accounts in continental Europe and internally generated residential customer accounts in the United States (both of which were partly driven by increased management and control of delinquent accounts). For those account pools experiencing increased attrition, prior lifing studies were re-examined. The Company concluded that existing amortization methods and asset lives continue to be appropriate given the observed actual attrition data for these pools.

        Net revenues for the Fire and Security Services segment increased 42.4% in fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 including a 41.8% increase in product revenue and a 42.9% increase in service revenue, primarily as a result of higher sales volume and increased service revenue in the worldwide security business and, to a lesser extent, our worldwide fire protection business. The increase in net revenues was mostly due to acquisitions as well as a higher volume of recurring service revenues generated from our worldwide security business dealer program and, to a lesser extent, increased sales of fire safety and video surveillance products and access control systems. This net revenue growth iswas largely due to our focus in prior years on increasing revenues by growing the business through acquisitions (including the authorized dealer program), as compared to our current long-term strategy, which is to grow our existing business. We plan to do this by gaining and maintaining high quality security monitoring accounts through our internal sales force supplemented by the authorized dealer program in key geographic areas. RevenuesNet revenues for fiscal 2002 also include the effect of the heightened level of security concerns that followed September 11th, which temporarily increased the demand for security-related products. Significant acquisitions included Simplex Time Recorder Co. ("Simplex") in January 2001, Scott Technologies, Inc. ("Scott") in May 2001, the electronic security systems businesses of Cambridge Protection Industries, L.L.C. ("SecurityLink") and Sentry S.A. in July 2001, Edison Select in August 2001, SBC/Smith Alarm Systems in October 2001, and DSC Group and Sensormatic in November 2001. Excluding the $33.5 million increase from foreign currency fluctuations, our ADT dealer program, (the Company purchases residential monitoring contracts from an external network of dealers who operate under ADT's authorized "dealer program"), the acquisitions listed above, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") for the segment were level with prior year. We expect revenues for the next fiscal year to increase due to increased service revenue in our world-wide security business, increased revenue in our fire protection business in Europe and Asia and, to a lesser extent increases at Ansul. However, we expect the fiscal 2002 curtailment, and in certain end markets the termination, of the ADT dealer program to partially offset revenue and operating income growth going forward.

        Operating income decreased 10.4%increased slightly in fiscal 2002, over fiscal 2001 primarily due to acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by net restructuring and other unusual charges, charges for the impairment of long-lived assets and a charge for the write-off of purchased in-process research and development. This decrease was partially offset by increases due to acquisitions. Operating margins decreased primarily due to the charges mentioned 128 above in addition to decreased margins at our security business, as a result of lower margins at businesses acquired during the year, and also due to decreased margins at our fire protection business in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We expect operating income and margins to increase in the next fiscal year due primarily to the significant charges incurred in the current year related to impairment of long-lived assets as well as the restructuring and other unusual charges incurred, and related improvements resulting from such charges. We expect these increases to be partially offset by increased costs associated with enhancing our security business' internal sales force and softness in the domestic contracting market, which is expected to generate lower margins as a result of increased competition.

        Operating income and margins in fiscal 2002 include a net restructuring and other unusual charge of $94.9 million. The net $94.9 million charge consists ofincludes charges of $113.5 million, of which inventory write-downs of $0.7 million and a charge of $18.7 million related to the write-up of inventory under purchase accounting are included in cost of sales. These charges are primarily related to severance and facility-related charges associated with streamlining the business, slightly offset by a credit of $18.6

133



$18.6 million relating to current and prior years' restructuring charges. Also included within operating income for fiscal 2002 is a charge of $17.8 million for the write-off of purchased in-process research and development associated with the acquisitions of Sensormatic and DSC Group and a charge of $217.0$114.7 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment resulting primarily from the termination of a software development project and, to a lesser extent, from the curtailment, and in certain markets, the termination of the authorizedADT dealer program in certain non-U.S. markets and the termination of a software development project. The following table provides information about the fiscal 2002 restructuring and other unusual charges related to the Fire and Security Services segment:
FACILITIES- INVENTORY- SEVERANCE RELATED RELATED OTHER TOTAL --------- ----------- ---------- -------- -------- Fiscal 2002 charges.............................. $ 43.5 $15.7 $ 19.4 $34.9 $113.5 Fiscal 2002 reversals............................

As a result of the charges recorded within the Fire and Security Services segment during fiscal 2002, we estimate that our overall cost structure will be reduced due to the impact of these charges by approximately $115 million (approximately $105 million cash and $10 million non-cash) on an annualized basis, $105 million of which relates to other selling, general and administrative expenses and $10 million to amortization. However, since business conditions do not remain constant, the actual reductions in cost may significantly differ from these amounts. Revenue increased 23.0% in fiscal 2001 over fiscal 2000, including a 27.4% increase in product revenue and a 19.3% increase in service revenue primarily due to acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, higher sales volume and increased recurring service revenue in fire protection in North America and Asia, and increased recurring revenues in the worldwide electronic security services business. These acquisitions include: Simplex in January 2001; Scott in May 2001; and SecurityLink in July 2001. Excluding the $338.1 million decrease from foreign currency exchange fluctuations, our dealer program, the acquisitions listed above and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenue (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") increased an estimated 4.7%. Operating income increased 15.6% in fiscal 2001 over fiscal 2000 primarily due to acquisitions and increased service volume in the fire protection business in North America and Asia and worldwide security business, partially offset by net restructuring and other unusual charges. The decrease in 129 operating margins was primarily due to net restructuring and other unusual charges partially offset by increased service revenues in fire protection.markets.

        Operating income and margins in fiscal 2001 include net restructuring and other unusual charges of $84.1 million. The $84.1 million net charge consists of charges of $85.7 million, of which inventory write-downs of $5.4 million are included in cost of sales, primarily related to the closure of facilities that became redundant due to the acquisitions of SecurityLink and Simplex, partially offset by a credit of $1.6 million relating to prior years' restructuring charges. Also included are charges of $2.8 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment primarily associated with the facility closures. Operating income and margins in fiscal 2000 includes a restructuring and other unusual credit of $11.2 million primarily related to a revision in estimates of our prior charges. As required under SAB 101, we modified our revenue recognition policies with respect to the installation of electronic security systems as of the beginning of fiscal 2001.

Net revenues at the segment's submarine telecommunications business declined $535.4 million, or 78.1%, due to completion of third-party undersea fiber optic system installations in fiscal 2002. Overall, the decrease in net revenues at our submarine telecommunications business more than offset the increase in the total segment revenues due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $523.9 million, and $68.9 million (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") due to the acquisitions of Transpower Technologies ("Transpower") in November 2001, Communications Instruments, Inc. ("CII") in January 2002, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more.

        The increase in operating income and margins fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 was due to operating losses in the prior year, primarily as a result of charges totaling $5,679.7 million (discussed below) that were recorded in fiscal 2002. Operating income and margins for fiscal 2003 include net charges totaling $881.8 million. The $881.8 million includes charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $665.1 million primarily related to the Company's intended sale of the TGN which was entirely written off; charges for the impairment of goodwill of $278.4 million in Power Systems, Electrical Contracting Services and the Printed Circuit Group; and restructuring credits of $90.5 million, of which $19.9 million is included in cost of sales, related to changes in estimates of severance and facilities-related charges recorded in prior years. The net restructuring credit of $90.5 million includes $54.8 million of credits which were changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Also included within the $881.8 million are charges of $14.1 million related to adjusting asset reserves, $6.2 million related to the adjustments to accrual balances, $8.5 million of reconciliation and other accounting adjustments, which were also changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Net revenues for the Electronics segment decreased 22.7% in fiscal 2002 compared with fiscal 2001, including a 23.3%23.6% decrease in product revenue and a 4.5%4.3% increase in service revenue, as a result of a severe decline in demand for undersea telecommunications systems and surplus capacity available and a decline in demand for our electronicselectronic components group products in the communications, computer and consumer electronics industries across all geographic regions. The Electronics segment is comprised ofNet revenues at the electronicselectronic components group as well as Tyco Telecommunications, which share certain customers. Revenues at the electronics components group(which consists of Electronic Components, Wireless, Electrical Contracting Services, Power Systems and Printed Circuit Group) decreased $1,931.3 million, or 16.5%, reflecting a significant decrease in demand in certain end markets. Sales were impacted mostly by the market decline in the telecommunications and computer industries and, to a lesser extent, the industrial/commercial industry. The market decreases were partially offset by growth in our product sales into the automotive industry. RevenuesNet revenues at Tyco Submarine Telecommunication's undersea cable communications business declined $1,113.5$1,150.2 million, or 59.8%62.6%, due to lack of demand for new cable construction and very weak demand for capacity sales on the TGN. Excluding the $16.7 million decrease from foreign currency fluctuations and the acquisitions of CIGI Investment Group, Inc. ("CIGI") in October 2000, Lucent Technologies' Power Systems business ("LPS") in December 2000, Transpower, Technologies in November 2001, Communications Instruments, Inc. in January 2002,CII, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues (calculated in 130 the manner described above in "Overview") for the segment decreased an estimated 29.3%29.6%. We expect our Electronics segment to continue to experience a significant decrease in demand for the next fiscal year as a result of our undersea fiber optic installation business not anticipating any major third-party system builds. Furthermore, an industry-wide surplus of telecommunication capacity available for sales continues to exist. Although total segment revenue is expected to decrease year over year, we anticipate that revenues for our core electronics components group will slightly increase

        The operating loss in fiscal 2003 due to growth due to new product development launches and increases in market share. As evidenced by the current period's restructuring charges, management has implemented plans within this segment to reduce the number of manufacturing plants, along with the related employees, to a size appropriate for the current business environment, while attempting to maintain the flexibility needed for a potential upturn in these markets. The significant decrease in operating income and operating margins in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was primarily due to the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill as well as the restructuring and other unusual charges in addition to the decrease in revenue. In the Electronics Componentselectronic components business, the significant decrease in demand related to the telecommunications, computer, consumer electronics, and the industrial machinery and commercial aerospace industriesindustries. The overall decrease in demand resulted in much lower manufacturing volumes which increased per unit costs. In the Submarine Telecommunications business, margins were impacted significantly by the lack of capacity sales on the TGN and a significant reduction in third party system builds. We expect operating income to increase in the next fiscal year due to the significant charges incurred in the current year related to the impairment of long-lived assets, as well as the restructuring and other unusual charges incurred and related improvements resulting from such charges.

        Operating loss and margins for fiscal 2002 include net restructuring and other unusual charges of $1,559.5$1,504.5 million. The $1,559.5$1,504.5 million net charge consists ofincludes charges totaling $1,585.8$1,530.8 million, of which inventory reserves of $608.2 million are included in cost of sales and a bad debt provision of $115.0 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These charges primarily relate to initiatives taken to reduce fixed costs, due to the significant downturn in the telecommunications business and certain electronics end markets, including facility closures, headcount reductions, inventory reserves and purchase commitment cancellations. These charges were slightly offset by a restructuring credit of $26.3 million primarily relating to a revision in estimates of current and prior years' severance and facilities charges. Total inventory charges of $943.6 million include $608.2 million of inventory write-downs and $335.4 million of supplier contract termination fees. There were no significantIn fiscal 2002, $19.9 million was originally included in the inventory written down and was recorded as a restructuring credit to cost of sales of previously written-down or written-off inventory during thein fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Of the $608.2 million, $143.1 million of inventory has been scrapped as of September 30, 2002. We expect the remaining written-off inventory to be scrapped over the next three to six months.2003. To the extent that any of the bad debt provisions are not utilized the excess amounts will be reversed as a credit to the selling, general and administrative expenses line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and will be separately disclosed as an unusual credit. To the extent that any of the inventory is subsequently sold, the related amount of income, if any, will be recognized as a credit to the cost of sales line and will be disclosed as an unusual credit. Also included within operating loss and margins for fiscal 2002 are charges of $3,113.7$3,150.7 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to the TGN, and goodwill impairment charges of $1,024.5 million related to Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. For additional information regarding our accounting for goodwill impairments, see "Accounting Policies--Goodwill"Policies—Goodwill" below.

        The significant restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2002 were primarily related to the restructuring of the Submarine Telecommunications business to address the significant overcapacity in the market and resulting lack of demand for new system construction. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002, management decided to focus the business for the foreseeable future on maintenance revenues and capacity sales on the Tyco Global Network,TGN, to discontinue future additions to the TGN, and limit construction activities to small projects that arewere cash flow positive with at least breakeven earnings. As 131 a result of this new strategy, management devised a plan to significantly downsize the manufacturing footprint, decrease project management staffing, reduce the research and development function and minimize

135



staffing and expense in all other administrative areas of the business to decrease cash outflows and losses to the maximum extent possible. This plan was carefully crafted to ensure that both the technical and construction competencies of the business would be preserved for whenin the event industry conditions improve. The following table provides information about the fiscal 2002 restructuring and other unusual charges related to the Electronics segment:
FACILITIES- INVENTORY- SEVERANCE RELATED RELATED OTHER TOTAL --------- ----------- ---------- -------- -------- Fiscal 2002 charges........................... $198.1 $250.2 $ 943.6 $ 193.9 $1,585.8 Fiscal 2002 reversals.........................

As a result of the charges recorded within the Electronics segment during fiscal 2002, we estimate that our overall cost structure will be reduced due to the impact of these charges by approximately $710 million (approximately $570 million cash and $140 million non-cash) on an annualized basis, of which $550 million relates to cost of sales and $160 million to other selling, general and administrative expenses. However, since business conditions do not remain constant the actual reductions in cost may significantly differ from these amounts. Net revenue increased 9.0% in fiscal 2001 over fiscal 2000, including a 7.1% increase in product revenue and a $252.3 million increase in service revenue, due to acquisitions by our electronic components group. These acquisitions included: Siemens Electromechanical Components GmbH & Co. KG in November 1999; Praegitzer Industries, Inc. in December 1999; Critchley Group PLC in March 2000; the electronic OEM business of Thomas & Betts in July 2000; CIGI in October 2000; and LPS in December 2000. Excluding the $436.8 million decrease from foreign currency exchange fluctuations, the impact of the acquisitions listed above and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenue (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") decreased an estimated 5.5%, which reflects an economic slowdown in the computer and consumer electronics and communications industries. The slight decrease in operating income was primarily the result of net restructuring and other unusual charges and impairments largely offset by increased operating income due to higher revenues in the electronics components business associated with acquisitions in fiscal 2001, as well as the full year result of acquisitions in 2000. In addition, there were margin improvements on 26.6% lower revenues in Tyco Telecommunications business due to the completion of several large third-party system contracts in fiscal 2001 with higher margins, offset by approximately $36.5 million of incremental expenses related to bad debt provisions and legal costs due to industry conditions.

        Operating income and margins in fiscal 2001 include restructuring and other unusual charges of $383.8 million primarily related to the closure of facilities within the communications, computer and consumer electronics industries in response to the severe downturn experienced. Included within the $383.8 million are inventory write-downs of $74.1 million and charges of $51.7 million for the write-up of inventory under purchase accounting, both of which are included in cost of sales. Operating income and margins after charges (credits) for fiscal 2001 also includes charges of $98.5 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment associated with the facility closures. Operating income and margins in fiscal 2000 include a net merger, restructuring and other unusual credit of $77.8 million in fiscal 2000, of which a net credit of $5.4 million related to inventory is 132 included in cost of sales, primarily related to a revision of estimates of merger, restructuring and other unusual accruals related to the merger with AMP and AMP's profit improvement plan.

        Net revenues for the Healthcare and Specialty Products segment increased 10.9%8.5% in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002, including an 8.5% increase in product revenue and a 7.4% increase in service revenue. The increase in net revenues resulted primarily from organic growth and favorable foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, acquisitions, net of divestitures. Organic growth was due to the following: increases in the surgical sector concurrent with the award of a major contract and continued organic growth within certain surgical stapling lines; increases in the medical sector resulting from the award of a significant wound care contract, coupled with the exit of a major competitor from the traditional wound care business, new product launches and higher demand in the ultrasound market; increases in pharmaceuticals and imaging due to higher volumes and increased market share, and; strong sales within the respiratory division. These sales increases were partially offset by a decrease in the diaper product segment of the Retail business largely resulting from the adverse impact of the industry-wide down-count issues, and a decline in the International division due to lower sales in continental Europe and Latin America. The increase in net revenues also resulted from favorable changes in foreign exchange rates ($268.2 million) and incremental revenues generated from the acquisition of Paragon Trade Brands ("Paragon") in January 2002 ($123.8 million calculated in the manner described above in "Overview"), slightly offset by a decline in revenues ($48.1 million) related to the divestiture of Surgical Dynamics, Inc. in July 2002.

        The 15.2% increase in operating income and increase in margins in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 were due primarily to favorable margin impact as a result of higher sales and favorable manufacturing variances as a result of increased production volumes, a shift to a more favorable product mix, and cost savings as a result of the closure of certain Paragon facilities, back office consolidations and our continued focus on optimizing operating expenses. Slightly offsetting the effect of those items were increased legal fees, insurance and pension expense, and higher sales and marketing expense as a result of program development aimed at supporting organic growth initiatives. Also contributing to the increase in operating income and margins were favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. During fiscal 2003, we recorded net credits totaling $3.3 million. Included within the total credits of $3.3 million are charges

136



of $11.7 million related to asset reserves for inventory and charges of $0.7 million for adjustments to accrual balances related to workers compensation, which were changes in estimates recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits, detailed controls and operating reviews and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates. Also included within the $3.3 million are restructuring credits of $9.2 million, of which $0.2 million is included in cost of sales, due to costs being less than anticipated and a credit of $6.5 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses related to an insurance reimbursement for certain legal fees associated with product liability cases. The restructuring credits of $9.2 million include credits of $4.7 million which were also changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Net revenues for the Healthcare segment increased 11.8% in fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 including a 11.0%11.8% increase in product revenue and a 10.1% increase in service revenue, primarily as a result of acquisitions. The Healthcare and Specialty Products segment is comprised of Tyco Healthcare and Tyco Plastics and Adhesives. Tyco Healthcare's revenues increased $833.8 million or 11.8% reflecting increased sales volume resulting from acquisitions in our U.S. healthcare businesses and, to a much lesser extent, increased revenues from our domestic and international healthcare businesses. Revenues at Tyco Plastics and Adhesives increased $140.8 million or 8.1% over the prior year due solely to the effect of acquisitions. In addition, revenues for fiscal 2001 included $9.9 million related to our ADT Automotive business which was sold in October 2000. Excluding the $6.7$11.2 million decrease from foreign currency exchange fluctuations and the acquisitions of Mallinckrodt Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") in October 2000, InnerDyne, Inc. ("InnerDyne") in December 2000, Linq Industrial Fabrics, Inc. in December 2001, Paragon, Trade Brands in January 2002, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") for the Healthcare and Specialty Products segment were level with the prior year. We expect revenues for the next fiscal year to increase, due to the introduction of new products and growth in market share.increased an estimated 2.9%.

        Operating income increased 6.8%22.4% in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 primarily due to a decrease in charges recorded in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001, as well as the impact of acquisitions and operating efficiencies realized from cost reductions at Mallinckrodt. This increase was partially offset by lower margins of businesses acquired at Tyco Healthcare, and decreased margins at Plastics and Adhesives as a result of volume shortfalls. The slight decrease in operating margins was due primarily to a shift in the product mix, lower selling prices in certain areas and unfavorable manufacturing variances. In addition, the Healthcare and Specialty Products segment incurred expenses mostly relating to inventory write-downs and uncollectable accounts receivable, primarily related to the Plastics and Adhesives business. We expect operating income to increase for the next fiscal year as a result of the impairment charges incurred in the current year related to long-lived assets as well as the restructuring and other unusual charges incurred and related improvements resulting from such charges, in addition to the increase in revenue. However, margins are expected to remain 133 approximately level due to increased spending on research and development and, to a lesser extent, an increase in royalty expense.Healthcare.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2002 reflect net restructuring and other unusual charges of $54.9$44.8 million. The $54.9$44.8 million net charge consists ofincludes charges of $58.8$48.7 million, of which inventory write-downs of $0.3$0.5 million and a charge of $1.3 million related to the write-up of inventory under purchase accounting are included in cost of sales. These charges primarily relate to severance associated with the consolidation of operations and facility-related costs due to exiting certain business lines, and are partially offset by a credit of $3.9 million relating to current and prior years' restructuring charges. Operating income and margins for fiscal 2002 also include a charge for the write-off of long-lived assets of $130.4$2.5 million primarily related to the write-offimpairment of intangible assets associated with a business line sold in July 2002.

As a result of the charges recorded within the Healthcare and Specialty Products segment during fiscal 2002, we estimate that our overall cost structure will be reduced due to the impact of these charges by approximately $40 million (approximately $30 million cash and $10 million non-cash) on an annualized basis, of which $30 million relates to other selling, general and administrative expenses and $10 million to cost of sales. However, since business conditions do not remain constant, the actual reductions in cost may significantly differ from these amounts. Net revenues increased 36.3% in fiscal 2001 over fiscal 2000, including a 35.5% increase in product revenue and a $55.0 million increase in service revenue, primarily due to acquisitions. These acquisitions included: General Surgical Innovations, Inc. in November 1999; Radionics in January 2000; Fiber-Lam in March 2000; Mallinckrodt in October 2000; and InnerDyne in December 2000. The revenue increase was somewhat offset by the sale of our ADT Automotive business. Excluding the $130.4 million decrease from foreign currency exchange fluctuations, the impact of the acquisitions and the divestiture listed above and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenue (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") remained level with the prior year. The 25.3% increase in operating income and the slight decrease in operating margins in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 was primarily due to the acquisition of Mallinckrodt, which generally has lower operating margins than other businesses in this segment, partially offset by a decrease in operating income due to a charge for the write-off of purchased in-process research and development in fiscal 2001.long-lived assets.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2001 include net restructuring and other unusual charges of $56.7$48.4 million primarily related to the closure of several manufacturing plants. Included within the $56.7$48.4 million are charges of $72.3$64.0 million, of which charges of $35.0 million for the write-up of inventory under purchase accounting and inventory write-downs of $9.0$5.0 million are included in cost of sales, partially offset by credits of $15.6 million related to the merger with U.S. Surgical. Operating income and margins also include a charge of $184.3 million for the write-off of purchased in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of Mallinckrodt and charges of $15.4$14.2 million 134 for the impairment of property, plant and equipment related to the closure of the manufacturing plants.

        Net revenues for the Engineered Products and Services segment remained essentially level in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002, including a 1.3% decrease in product revenue partially offset by a 4.5% increase in service revenue. Net revenue decreased year over year, as the increase in net revenues due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($233.1 million calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") and the effect of acquisitions ($41.2 million) was more than offset by continued weak conditions in major markets at Flow Control and Electrical and Metal Products, most notably in non-residential construction. Also contributing to the overall decrease was lower levels of capital spending and increased pricing pressure, resulting in lower selling prices. The $41.2 million effect from acquisitions included Century Tube Corporation ("Century") in October 2001, Water & Power Technologies ("Water & Power") in November 2001, and Clean Air Systems ("Clean Air") in February 2002 and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more.

        The 40.7% increase in operating income and the increase in margins in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 were due to lower than usual operating income in the prior year period, as a result of recording charges of $379.5 million (discussed below). During fiscal 2003, we recorded charges totaling $56.7 million. Included within the $56.7 million are charges of $33.1 million related to changes in estimates recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits, detailed controls and operating reviews and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates (including $19.0 million related to adjustments to workers compensation, $1.0 million primarily related to reconciling items in the current period and $13.1 million associated with asset reserves). Also included within the $56.7 million are net restructuring and other charges of $7.8 million, of which $6.1 million is included in cost of sales, due to changes in estimates of costs being less than anticipated, and charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $2.2 million relating to manufacturing and distribution consolidation at Flow Control and cost reduction projects, and other costs of $13.6 million included within selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to the reorganization and consolidation of a manufacturing facility and certain business offices. Operating income and margins were also negatively effected by the lower sales discussed above, competitive conditions in major markets for valves and controls, thermal controls, and electrical and metal products, and increased raw material costs, mostly steel. The Engineered Products and Services segment expects to incur additional charges in future periods related to the comprehensive cost reduction program announced on November 4, 2003.

        Net revenues increased 12.5%12.9% in fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 including a 12.6%13.1% increase in product revenue and a 12.0% increase in service revenue, primarily as a result of acquisitions and, to a much lesser extent, increased revenues at Tyco Flow Control, which was largely due to increased demand of industrial valve and control and thermal control products. However, offsetting this increase in demand of valve and control products was the decline in general economic conditions, as well as a slow-down in the commercial contructionconstruction market. Acquisitions included Pyrotenax in March 2001, IMI Bailey Birkett in June 2001, Century, Tube Corporation in October 2001, Water & Power, Technologies in November 2001, and Clean Air Systems in February 2002.Air. Excluding the $9.2 million decrease from foreign currency exchange and the impact of the acquisitions listed above, and all other

138



acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") for the segment were level with the prior year. We expect revenues for the next fiscal year to increase primarily as a result of increased sales prices (due to increased raw material costs) and expected improved market conditions at Tyco Infrastructure Services. Furthermore, we expect sales volume at Tyco Fire and Building Products to show some signs of recovery in the commercial construction markets during the latter half of fiscal 2003.

        The 64.2% decrease in operating income and the decrease in operating margins in fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001 was primarily due to goodwill impairment charges in addition to the impact of lower margins at Tyco Electrical &and Metal Products and Tyco Flow Control, decreased royalty and licensing fee income from divested businesses and reduced market activity due to continued softness in demand and worldwide competitive pressures. This overall decrease was slightly offset by the results of acquisitions and by savings realized from cost-cutting initiatives at Tyco Flow Control. We expect operating income to increase in 2003 primarily as a result of increased selling pricesControl and reduced operating cost as well as lower expected charges. However, we expect margins to remain level with fiscal 2002. 135 Infrastructure Services.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2002 reflect restructuring and other unusual charges of $50.8 million, of which inventory write-downs of $6.2 million are included in cost of sales, primarily related to severance and facility-related costs associated with streamlining the business and charges of $9.5 million for the impairment of property, plant and equipment associated with the closure of facilities. Also included are goodwill impairment charges of $319.2 million relating to Tyco Infrastructure.Infrastructure Services.

As a result of the charges recorded within the Engineered Products and Services segment during fiscal 2002, we estimate that our overall cost structure will be reduced due to the impact of these charges by approximately $45 million (approximately $43 million cash and $2 million non-cash) on an annualized basis, of which $35 million relates to cost of sales and $10 million to selling, general and administrative expenses. However, since business conditions do not remain constant the actual reductions in cost may significantly differ from these amounts. Net revenues increased 6.1% in fiscal 2001 over fiscal 2000 including a 3.3% increase in product revenue and a 27.9% increase in service revenue as a result of acquisitions. Acquisitions included Kitamura Valve Co. in January 2000, Flow Control Technologies in February 2000, Tracer in August 2000, Pyrotenax in March 2001, and IMI in June 2001. Excluding the $148.3 million decrease in foreign currency exchange and the impact of the acquisitions listed above, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues for the segment decreased 2.6%. Operating income for fiscal 2001 was level as compared to fiscal 2000 due to acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, improved margins at both Tyco Flow Control and Tyco Infrastructure offset by net restructuring and other unusual charges and decreased operating income and margins at Allied Tube and Conduit resulting from higher raw material prices. Operating margins decreased due to net restructuring and other unusual charges in fiscal 2001 and decreased margins at Allied Tube and Conduit partially offset by improved margins at both Tyco Flow Control and Tyco Infrastructure.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2001 include restructuring and other unusual charges of $57.3 million, of which inventory write-downs of $9.7 million are included in cost of sales, and charges for the impairment of property, plant and equipment of $3.4 million, primarily related to the closure of facilities. CORPORATE ITEMS FOREIGN CURRENCY

Plastics and Adhesives

        The following table sets forth net revenues and operating income and margins for the Plastics and Adhesives segment ($ in millions):

 
 Fiscal 2003
 Fiscal 2002
 Fiscal 2001
 
Revenue from product sales $1,897.2 $1,878.3 $1,747.4 
  
 
 
 
Operating income $167.4 $209.2 $300.9 
Operating margins  8.8% 11.1% 17.2%

        Net revenues at Tyco Plastics and Adhesives increased slightly in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002 due to the effect of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($29.3 million) and acquisitions ($21.0 million calculated in the manner described above in "Overview"), which included LINQ Industrial Fabrics, Inc. ("LINQ") in December 2001 and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more. Sales increases were achieved by higher selling prices as a result of higher raw material costs, increased sales volume of plastic sheeting and duct tape products as a result of the heightened level of security related to the potential likelihood of terrorist attacks, and a strong residential construction market for Ludlow Coated Products. These increases were more than offset by increased competition and decreases in our Corrosion Protection business, which has been negatively impacted by a slow down in the oil and gas pipeline construction markets created by uncertainty in the Middle East and Venezuela, and a decline in hanger sales due to weak demand in the retail garment industry.

        The significant decrease in operating income and decrease in operating margins in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002 were primarily due to increased raw material costs (mostly polyethylene) and increased pricing competition driven by excess production capacity and an increase in lower priced imported goods. During fiscal 2003, we recorded net credits totaling $1.4 million. Included within the $1.4 million are charges of $5.6 million related to changes in estimates recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits, detailed controls and operating reviews and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates (including $3.2 million for adjustments to accrual balances, $2.6 million related to asset reserves for inventory and a credit of $0.2 million related to reconciliation items). Also included within the total credits of $1.4 million are restructuring credits of $1.0 million due to costs being less than anticipated and a credit of $6.0 million, which is included in selling, general and

139



administrative expenses, related to the settlement of a lawsuit. The restructuring credits of $1.0 million include a credit of $0.4 million also recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits. The Plastics and Adhesives segment expects to incur additional restructuring charges in future periods related to the comprehensive cost reduction program announced on November 4, 2003.

        Net revenues for the Plastics and Adhesives segment increased 7.5%, or $130.9 million in fiscal 2002 over fiscal 2001. The increase was solely due to the effect of acquisitions. In addition, net revenues for fiscal 2001 included $9.9 million related to our ADT Automotive business, which was sold in October 2000. Excluding the $4.5 million increase from foreign currency exchange fluctuations and the acquisition of LINQ Industrial Fabrics, Inc. in December 2001, and all other acquisitions with a purchase price of $10 million or more, pro forma revenues (calculated in the manner described above in "Overview") for the Plastics and Adhesives segment decreased an estimated 13.0%.

        Operating income decreased 30.5% in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 primarily due to decreased margins as a result of volume shortfalls, a shift in the product mix, lower selling prices in certain areas and unfavorable manufacturing variances. In addition, the segment incurred increased expenses mostly relating to inventory write-downs and uncollectible accounts receivable.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2002 reflect net restructuring and other charges of $10.1 million, of which inventory write-downs of $1.1 million are included in cost of sales. These charges primarily relate to severance associated with the consolidation of operations and facility-related costs due to exiting certain business lines. Operating income and margins for fiscal 2002 also include a charge for the write-off of long-lived assets of $2.6 million primarily related to the impairment of long-lived assets.

        Operating income and margins for fiscal 2001 include net restructuring and other charges of $8.3 million primarily related to the closure of several manufacturing plants. Included within the $8.3 million are charges of $4.0 million related to inventory write-downs, which has been included in cost of sales. Operating income and margins also include a charge of $1.2 million for the impairment of long-lived assets related to the closure of the manufacturing plants.

Corporate Items

Foreign Currency

        The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 was an increase in net revenues and operating income of $1,574.2 million and $192.1 million, respectively. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was an increase in net revenues of approximately $0.9 million and a decrease in operating income of approximately $48.2 million. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 was a decrease in revenues of approximately $1,053.6 million and a decrease in operating income of approximately $199.5 million. 136 CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate Expenses

        Corporate expenses were $196.2$400.6 million in fiscal 2003. Corporate expenses for fiscal 2003 include charges totaling $178.9 million. Included within the $178.9 million is a charge of $91.5 million for an incremental increase in directors and officers insurance and charges of $38.5 million related to internal investigation fees. Also included is a charge of $19.9 million primarily related to a severance accrual for corporate employees and a restructuring credit of $10.6 million due to costs being less than anticipated, both of which were changes in estimates recorded in connection with the Company's intensified internal audits, detailed controls and operating reviews and as a result of applying management's judgments and estimates. Also included within the $178.9 million are net restructuring charges of $9.0 million, other net charges of $16.0 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and charges for the impairment of long-lived assets of $14.6 million primarily related to the closure and relocation of corporate offices and severance. Corporate expenses were $419.7 million in fiscal 2002.

Corporate expenses were leveldown slightly in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 due to an overall decrease in compensation expense and lower than expected advertising costs and expenses for charitable giving;giving. However, these decreases were partially offset by increased insurance costs, legal and accounting fees, and other costs associated with the business disruptions that began during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase from fiscal 2000 was due principally to higher compensation expense under our equity-based incentive compensation plans and an increase in corporate staffing and related costs to support and monitor our expanding businesses and operations. The total costs incurred for the internal investigation were $9.1 million in fiscal 2002. An additional expense

Amortization of approximately $40 million is estimated to conclude this process in 2003. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILLGoodwill

        Amortization of goodwill was $537.4 million and $344.4$543.0 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.2001. In accordance with recently adopted accounting rule changes, goodwill is no longer amortized beginning with our fiscal 2002 year. See GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLESGoodwill and Other Intangibles within Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these accounting rule changes.

        Tyco has repurchased some debt prior to scheduled maturities. In fiscal 2003, the Company recorded other income from the early retirement of debt totaling $30.6$24.1 million, as compared to losses$30.6 million in fiscal 2002, and a loss from the early retirement of debt totaling $26.3 million and $0.3 million for fiscal 20012001.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company repurchased all of its 6.25% Dealer Remarketable Securities ("Drs.") due 2013. The total Dollar Price paid was $902 million based upon the $750 million par value of the Drs. The portion in excess of par of $151.8 million was recorded as a loss on retirement of debt.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company recognized a charge of $87.1 million relating to the write-down of various investments accounted for under both the cost and 2000, respectively.equity methods, of which $81.3 million was recorded, when it became evident that the declines in the fair value of the investments were other than temporary, primarily due to the continuing depressed economic conditions specifically within the telecommunications industry. Included within the $81.3 million is $75.6 million recorded in the second quarter (see Changes in Estimates Recorded During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2003). The remaining $5.8 million charge adjusted a portion of the remaining portfolio to its net realizable value based upon estimates received in conjunction with our decision to sell such investments. During fiscal 2002, the Company recognized a $270.8 million loss on equityvarious investments, primarily related to its investments in FLAG Telecom Holdings Ltd. and other telecommunications companies("FLAG") when it became evident that the declines in the fair value of FLAG and other investments were other than temporary. During fiscal 2001, the Company recognized a $133.8 million loss on equityvarious investments, primarily related to its investment in 360Networks when it became evident that the declines in the fair value of the investments were other than temporary.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company recognized other expense of $8.6 million in connection with a bank guarantee on behalf of an equity investee (see "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Guarantees" below for further information).

        During fiscal 2002, the Company sold certain of its businesses for net proceeds of approximately $138.7 million in cash that consist primarily of certain businesses within the Healthcare and Specialty Products and Fire and Security Services segments. In connection with these dispositions, the Company recorded a net gain of $7.2 million (excluding a previous charge of $125.3 million for impairment associated with these assets which were held for sale).$23.6 million. In fiscal 2001, the Company sold its ADT Automotive business to Manheim Auctions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., for approximately $1.0 billion in cash. The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of businesses of $410.4 million after deducting commissions and other direct costs, principally related to the sale of ADT Automotive. This gain is net of direct and incremental costs of the transaction, as well as $60.7 million of special non-recurring bonuses paid to key employees. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense, net, increased $183.2Expense, Net

        Interest income was $107.2 million in fiscal 2003, as compared to $959.7$117.3 million and $128.3 million in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest expense was $1,148.0 million in fiscal 2003, as compared to fiscal 2001, and increased $6.9 million to $776.5$1,077.0 million in fiscal 2001,2002 and $904.8 million in fiscal 2001. Interest expense in fiscal 2003 includes a charge of $0.4 million related to changes in estimates recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and a charge of $2.4 million related to the interest component of a state sales tax charge. Fiscal 2003 interest income includes $18.7 million related to interest received on a tax refund. The increase in net interest expense in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002 is primarily the result of the negative impact of the cancellation of certain swaps in fiscal 2002, a decrease in capitalized interest due to the completion of TGN, an increase in the weighted-average interest rate year over year, in addition to a decrease in interest income as compared toa result of the collection of a note receivable. Slightly offsetting this overall increase was the favorable impact of a lower average debt balance during fiscal 2000.2003. The 137 increase in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 was due to a higher average debt balance for the year, which more than offset the decrease in our weighted-average interest rate during fiscal 2002. The weighted-average rates of interest on our long-term debt outstanding during fiscal 2003 and 2002 were 4.7% and 2001 were 4.5% and 4.8%, respectively. Our weighted-average rate during fiscal 2002 decreased2003 increased due to the general decline in market rates; however, this decline was partially offset by an increase in the spreads over market rates at which we were able to borrow due tocontinued effects of the credit downgrades that began in February 2002. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due primarily to a higher average debt balance, resulting from borrowings to finance acquisitions2002 including the exiting of the commercial paper market and our share repurchase program, offset bythe retirement of lower interest rates duringrate debt.

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense was $764.5 million on pre-tax income of $1,802.8 million for fiscal 2003 as compared to income tax expense of $208.1 million on pre-tax loss of $2,628.7 million for fiscal 2002 and income tax expense of $1,172.3 million on pre-tax income of $5,114.7 million for fiscal 2001. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

        Our effective income tax rate was (9.2%)42.4%, 22.3%(7.9%) and 29.8%22.9% during fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 2001 and 2000,fiscal 2001, respectively. The difference in the rate from fiscal 2002 to 2003 is primarily the result of a decrease in the non-recognition of tax benefits on impairments and a decrease in other non-deductible charges. The difference in the tax rate from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 was primarily due to the non-recognition of tax benefits on significant impairment charges. Also, there are minimalcharges, which occurred in fiscal 2002.

        The tax benefits due to a combination of having expenses in low taxing jurisdictions, the establishment of valuation allowances and the non-deductibility of the charges. The effective income tax rate, excluding the impact ofeffect on purchased in-process research and development, restructuring and other unusualcredits (charges) credits,, charges for the impairment of long-lived assets, charges for the impairment of goodwill, net gain on the sale of businesses and investments, net gain on the sale of common shares of a subsidiary and accounting change was 22.0%a benefit of $265.8 million during fiscal 2003, as compared to a benefit of $670.9 million during fiscal 2002 as compared to 21.2%and a benefit of $68.6 million in fiscal 2001 and 24.8% in fiscal 2000.2001.

        The increase in the effective income tax rate from 21.2% during fiscal 2001 to 22.0% during fiscal 2002 was primarily due to lower earnings in tax jurisdictions with lower income tax rates as well as lower benefits from interest deductions, offsetvaluation allowance increased by goodwill (which was not deductible for tax purposes) no longer being amortized and other favorable tax adjustments, mainly related to settling certain tax audits during the year. The decrease in the effective income tax rate during fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000 was primarily due to higher earnings in tax jurisdictions with lower income tax rates. We expect that our effective income tax rate will increase to a percentage in the high twenties in fiscal 2003approximately $249 million due to the full year impactuncertainty of lower benefits from interest deductions, and no favorable tax adjustments as in the prior year. A valuation allowance has been maintained due to continued uncertainties of realizationutilization of certain non-U.S. deferred tax benefits, primarily tax loss carryforwardsassets (see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). We believe that we will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets on our balance sheet. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109 which requires a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are routinelyperiodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, certain tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. The Company is reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and is contesting suchcertain 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. Further, management has reviewed with tax counsel the issues raised by these taxing authorities and the adequacy of these tax accrued amounts. Management believes that ultimate resolution

        Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, or the investments are essentially permanent in duration. A liability could arise if amounts were distributed by their subsidiaries or if their subsidiaries were disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes related to the permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries. 138 CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes

        As discussed in "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Variable Interest Entities" below, the Company has three synthetic lease programs utilized, to some extent, by all of the Company's segments to finance capital expenditures for manufacturing machinery and equipment and for ships used by Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FIN 46 and, accordingly, restructured one of the synthetic leases to meet the requirements of FIN 46 for operating lease accounting. The Company has reclassified the remaining two leases as capital leases and consequently, recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, a $75.1 million loss after-tax ($115.5 million pre-tax) in fiscal 2003 in accordance with the provisions of FIN 46. In addition, four joint ventures within Tyco Infrastructure Services met the consolidation criteria set forth in FIN 46. As a result of both the synthetic lease reclassifications and the joint venture consolidations, the Company has increased property, plant and equipment, net, by $433.8 million and total debt by $562.2 million (effective July 1, 2003).

        In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")SEC issued SAB 101, in which the SEC Staff expressed its views regarding the appropriate recognition of revenue inwith respect to a variety of circumstances, some of which are relevant to us. As required under SAB 101, we modified our revenue recognition policies with respect to the installation of electronic security systems (see "REVENUE RECOGNITION""Revenue Recognition" within Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, in response to SAB 101, we undertook a review of our revenue recognition practices and identified certain provisions included in a limited number of sales arrangements that delayed the recognition of revenue under SAB 101. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, we changed our method of accounting for these items retroactive to the beginning of the fiscal year to conform to the requirements of SAB 101. This was reported as a $653.7 million after-tax ($1,005.6 million pre-tax) charge for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the fiscal 2001 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $249.4 million and $294.2 million, respectively, of revenue that had previously been included in the SAB 101 cumulative effect adjustment recorded as of October 1, 2000. The impact of SAB 101 on net revenues in fiscal 2001 was a net decrease of $241.1 million, reflecting the deferral of $520.5 million of fiscal 2001 revenues, partially offset by the recognition of $279.4 million of revenue that is included in the cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year.2001.

        We recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, a $29.7 million loss, net of zero tax, in fiscal 2001 in accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments

143



and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. LONG-LIVED ASSETS--Management

Long-Lived Assets—Management periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment the TGN and amortizable intangible assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. We carry long-lived assets at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated. We wrote-off

        The Company generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program (discussed below under "Amortization Method for Customer Contracts").

        With respect to the Company's depreciation policy for security monitoring systems installed in residential and commercial customer premises, the costs of these systems are combined in separate pools for internally generated residential and commercial account customers, and generally depreciated over ten years. The Company concluded that for residential and commercial account pools the straight-line method of amortization over a significant portion of the TGN during fiscal 2002, and managementten-year period continues to monitor developments inbe appropriate given the fiberoptic capacity markets. It is possible that the assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that a further impairment in value may occur in the future. In addition, we may experience additional TGN impairments if the downturn in the telecommunications industry continues.observed actual attrition data for these pools.

        The determination of the depreciable lives of subscriber systems included in property, plant and equipment, and the amortizable lives of customer contracts and related customer relationships included in intangible assets, are primarily based on historical attrition rates, third partythird-party lifing studies and the useful life of the underlying tangible asset. The realizable value and remaining useful lives of these assets could be impacted by changes in customer attrition rates. GOODWILL--EffectiveIf the attrition rates were to rise, the Company may be required to further accelerate the amortization.

Goodwill—Effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of Tyco's fiscal year 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for all of Tyco and its subsidiaries. Since adoption of SFAS No. 142,under which goodwill is no longer amortized but instead is assessedmanagement assesses goodwill for impairment at least as often as annually and as triggering events occur. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic 139 projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Since management's judgment is involved in performing goodwill valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of our goodwill may be overstated or understated.

        We have determined that there is no impact of adopting this new standard underelected to make July 1 the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, circumstances developed that indicated a potential impairment in the value of goodwill with respect to Tyco Telecommunications, a reporting unit within the Electronics segment, and our Tyco Capital segment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Electronics segment recorded a charge of $2,181.4 million related to the impairment of the TGN, as a result of the fiberoptic capacity available in the market place continuing to significantly exceed overall market demand, creating sharply declining prices and reduced cash flows. For additional information on the TGN impairment charge, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Since the TGN represented a significant asset group within the Tyco Telecommunications reporting unit, an updated goodwill valuation was completed as of March 31, 2002 for that reporting unit. The valuation was completed using an income approach based upon the present value of future cash flows of the reporting unit as of March 31, 2002. However, this first step analysis resulted in no impairment of the Tyco Telecommunications reporting unit's goodwill at that date. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, additional circumstances developed that indicated a potential impairment of the value of goodwill with respect to our reporting units. We experienced disruptions to our business surrounding the termination of our previously announced break-up plan, the resignation of our chief executive officer, further downgrades in our credit ratings and an additional decline in our market capitalization. Updated valuations were completedannual assessment date for all reporting units as of June 30, 2002units. Goodwill valuations have historically been calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. An additionalThis approach includes many assumptions related to future growth rates, discount factor was then applied to reflectfactors, future tax rates, etc. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in a decrease in reporting unit valuations for recent disruptions at our corporate offices and negative publicity, as evidenced by the decline in our total market capitalization. This resulted in an estimated goodwill impairment on continuing operations of $844.4 million, $607.7 million relating to Tyco Telecommunications and $236.7 million relating to Tyco Infrastructure, a reporting unit within the Engineered Products and Services segment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, step two analyses, as prescribed by SFAS 142 where the book value exceeds the estimated fair value of the individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit, were completed for the Tyco Telecommunications reporting unit and Tyco Infrastructure reporting unit. This resulted in an incremental goodwill impairment on continuing operations of $162.0 million, $79.5 million relating Tyco Telecommunications and $82.5 million relating to Tyco Infrastructure. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, circumstances associated with the restructuring charges related to the Tyco Telecommunications reporting unit indicated potential further impairment of the value of goodwill of this reporting unit. An updated valuation using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows was completed as of September 30, 2002. The valuation resulted in an additional estimated goodwill impairment on continuing operations of $337.3 million. During fiscal 2002, we curtailed, and in certain end markets terminated, the ADT authorized dealer program. Due to a decrease in projected purchases of customer contracts through the authorized dealer program, an updated valuation using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows as of September 30, 2002 was performed for the Security Services reporting unit. The valuation results indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the book value of the reporting unit. Further disruptionsperiods.

        Disruptions to our business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, continuedthe divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, downgrades 140 in our credit ratings, and additional market capitalization declines may result in our having to perform anothera SFAS No. 142 first step valuation analysis for all of our reporting units prior to the required annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments in the future. We have elected

Amortization Method for Customer Contracts—The Company purchases residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under the ADT dealer program. The purchase price of these customer contracts is recorded as an intangible asset (i.e., contracts and related customer relationships).

        As discussed above in "Long-Lived Assets," the Company generally divides its electronic security assets into various asset pools: internally generated residential systems, internally generated commercial systems and accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program. Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the month of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of economic benefit which is expected to make July 1be obtained from the annual assessment datecustomer relationship. The Company believes that the accelerated method that presently best achieves the matching objective described above is the double-declining balance method based on a ten-year life for all reporting units. For information regarding the impairmentfirst eight years of goodwill relatingthe estimated life of the customer relationships converting to Tyco Capital, see "Discontinued Operationsthe straight-line method of Tyco Capital (CIT Group Inc.)" below. REVENUE RECOGNITION--Contractamortization for the remaining four years of the estimated relationship period. Actual attrition data is regularly reviewed in order to assess the continued applicability of the accelerated method of amortization described above.

Revenue Recognition—Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems, underwaterundersea cable systems and other construction related projects are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon contracted revenue and related estimated cost to completion. The risk of this methodology is its dependence upon estimates of costs to completion, which are subject to the uncertainties inherent in long-term contracts. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. If estimates are inaccurate, there is risk that our revenues and profits for the period may be overstated or understated. INCOME TAXES--Estimates

Income Taxes—Estimates of full year taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the tax rate calculation, which change throughout the year. Management uses judgementjudgment in estimating what the income will be for the year. Since judgementjudgment is involved, there is risk that the tax rate may significantly increase or decrease in any period. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF TYCO CAPITAL

        In determining income (loss) for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. SFAS 109 also requires that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

        In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and international pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

        We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent of offsetting decreases in our valuation allowance. The realization of our remaining deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

        In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

        During the period October 1, 2001 through July 8, 2002, Tyco Capital recorded charges of $355.0 million relating primarily to a weakness in the competitive local exchange carrier industry included within its telecommunications portfolio and the economic reforms instituted by the Argentine government that converted Tyco Capital's dollar-denominated receivables into peso-denominated receivables. These charges have been included in the provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses was $665.6 million, or 2.4% of AEA, and $116.1 million, or 0.9% of AEA for the period October 1, 2001 through July 8, 2002 and the period June 2 through September 30, 2001, respectively. Financing and leasing portfolio assets totaled $40.7 billion at September 30, 2001, while managed assets totaled $50.9 billion at September 30, 2001. Managed assets include finance receivables, operating lease equipment, finance receivables held for sale, certain investments, and finance receivables previously securitized and still managed by Tyco Capital. The reduced asset levels reflect the sale and liquidation of under-performing assets in industries expected to continue to have low margins coupled with lower origination volumes due to the soft economic environment and funding constraints arising from Tyco Capital's increased costs of borrowing.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we experienced disruptions to our business surrounding our announced break-up plan, a downgrade in our credit ratings, and a significant decline in our market capitalization. During this same time period, CIT also experienced credit downgrades and a disruption to its historical funding base. Further, market-based information used in connection with our preliminary consideration of the proposed IPO of CIT indicated that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2002. As a result, we performed a SFAS No. 142 first step impairment analysis as of March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was warranted at that time.

        Management's objective in performing the SFAS No. 142 first step analysis was to obtain relevant market-based data to calculate the estimated fair value of CIT as of March 31, 2002 based on its projected earnings and market factors expected to be used by market participants in ascribing value to CIT in the planned separation of CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data from our financial advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples and market condition discounts applicable to CIT as of March 31, 2002 and applied these market data to CIT's projected annual earnings as of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair value and any resulting goodwill impairment. The estimated fair value was compared to the corresponding carrying value of CIT at March 31, 2002. As a result, we recorded a $4,512.7 million impairment charge as of March 31, 2002, which is included in discontinued operations.

147



        SFAS No. 142 requires a second step analysis whenever a reporting unit's book value exceeds estimated fair value. This analysis requires that we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit's individual assets 143 and liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. We completed this second step analysis for CIT during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and, as a result, recorded an additional goodwill impairment of $132.0 million. During the June 30, 2002 quarter, CIT experienced further credit downgrades and the business environment and other factors continued to negatively impact the likely proceeds of the IPO. As a result, we performed another first step and second step analysis as of June 30, 2002 in a manner consistent with the March 2002 process described above. Each of these analyses was based upon updated market data at June 30, 2002 and through the period immediately following the IPO, including the IPO proceeds. These analyses resulted in a goodwill impairment of $1,867.0 million, which is also included in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2002.operations. We also recorded an additional impairment charge of $126.4 million in order to write-down its investment in CIT to fair value for a total CIT goodwill impairment charge of $2,125.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.million. This write-down was based upon net IPO proceeds of approximately $4.4 billion, after deducting estimated out of pocket expenses, and is included in the $6,282.5 million loss from discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Tyco recorded a loss on the sale of Tyco Capital of $58.8 million. 144 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The following table summarizes the sources of our cash flow from operating activities from our continuing operations and the use of a portion of that cash in our operations in fiscal 2002,2003, fiscal 20012002 and fiscal 2000. We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating activities, less capital expenditures, dividends and increases or decreases associated with the sale of accounts receivable program, as "free cash flow." Management believes operating cash flow and free cash flow are important measures of operating performance. However, free cash flow as determined below is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, should not be considered a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

        The net change in total working capital, net of the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, was a decreasean increase of $377.6$307.0 million in fiscal 2002,2003, including cash paid out for restructuring and other unusual charges of $556.8$503.3 million. The components of this change are set forth in detail in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The significant changes in working capital included a $1,014.5$627.6 million decrease in accounts receivablepayable due primarily to the collection on contracts within Tyco Telecommunications and, to a lesser extent, an overall decrease within the electronics segment as a result of lower sales. In addition, accounts payable decreased $833.7 million primarily as a result of a 146 decrease within Tyco Telecommunications due to the general downturn in the industry, as well as, an overall decrease across all of our business segments resulting from improved inventory management, as well as a decrease within Tyco Telecommunications due to lower purchasing volumeresulting from the completion of the TGN. In addition, accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased $559.9 million primarily as a result of the decline in sales,cash paid out associated with accruals for restructuring and the effect of vendors demanding earlier payments as a result of liquidity concerns.other charges. We focus on maximizing the cash flow from our operating businesses and attempt to keep the working capital employed in the businesses to the minimum level required for efficient operations.

        During fiscal 2002,2003, we decreased our participation in our sale of accounts receivable program by $56.4$119.0 million.

        During fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 2001 and 2000fiscal 2001, we paid out $271.8 million, $624.1 million $894.4 million and $544.2$878.7 million, respectively, in cash that was charged against reservesaccruals established in connection with acquisitions accounted for under the purchase accounting method.acquisitions. This amount is included in "Cash paid for purchase accounting and holdback/earn-out liabilities" under Cash Flows From Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reserves

Amounts expended for restructuring and other unusual costs are charged against the reservesaccruals as they are paid out. If the amount of the reservesaccruals proves to be greater than the costs actually incurred, any excess is credited against restructuring and other unusual charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period in which that determination is made.

        At September 30, 2002, there existed accruals for restructuring and other charges of $1,021.6 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. During fiscal 2002,2003, we recorded net restructuring and other unusual chargescredits of $1,954.3$84.8 million, of which chargescredits of $635.4$10.5 million are included in cost of sales, related primarily to the write-downa revision of inventory and the closureestimates of facilities within the Electronics segment. At September 30, 2001, there existed reserves forprior years' restructuring and other unusual charges of $340.2 million.charges. During fiscal 2002,2003, we paid out $556.8$503.3 million in cash and incurred $381.8$0.3 million in non-cash charges.uses that were charged against these liabilities. We also reclassified $197.5 million of restructuring accruals to the appropriate balance sheet accounts, recorded $7.4 million in foreign currency translation adjustments and recorded non-cash adjustments of $40.0 million. At September 30, 2002,2003, there remained $1,355.9$293.6 million of reservesaccruals for restructuring and other unusual charges on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,095.5$159.3 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $260.4$134.3 million is included in other long-term liabilities. In April 2002, we terminated our previously announced plan to separate into four independent, publicly traded companies. In addition, we announced that we planned to divest of Tyco Capital through an initial public offering ("IPO") of all of the outstanding shares of CIT Group Inc., which was completed on July 8, 2002.

        During fiscal 2002,2003, we purchased businesses for $3,750.5 million and customer contracts for electronic security services for $1,401.0 million. The aggregate costcash of $5,151.5$596.8 million consistsand businesses for cash of $3,084.8$44.0 million, paid in cash, net of $158.0$1.1 million of cash acquired, $1,918.8 million paid in the form of Tyco common shares, and assumed stock options and pre-existing put option rights with a fair value of $147.9 million ($102.6 million of put option rights have been paid in cash). Also during fiscal 2002, we completed our amalgamation with TyCom, and TyCom shares not already owned by Tyco were converted into approximately 17.7 million Tyco common shares valued at $819.9 million. Fair value of debt of acquired companies aggregated $799.1 million.acquired.

        At the beginning of fiscal 2002,2003, purchase accounting reservesaccruals were $702.1$539.0 million as a result of purchase accounting transactions made in prior years. In connection with fiscal 20022003 acquisitions, we established purchase accounting reservesliabilities of $194.6$0.2 million for transaction and integration costs. In addition, purchase accounting liabilities of $339.4$25.8 million and a corresponding increase to goodwill and deferred tax assets were recorded during fiscal 20022003 relating to fiscal 20012002 and prior years' acquisitions. These reservesaccruals related primarily to revisions associated with finalizing the exit plans of LPS, Microser S.L., DAAG, EdisonParagon and SecurityLink, allEberle, both acquired during fiscal 2001.2002. Also, during fiscal 2002,2003, we reclassified $32.7$3.8 million of fair value adjustments related to the write-down of assets for prior yearfiscal 2002 acquisitions out of purchase accounting accruals and into the appropriate asset or liability account. We also recorded $16.5 million in cumulative translation adjustments. During fiscal 2002,2003, we paid out $474.8$171.5 million in cash for utilization of purchase accounting liabilities related to current and prior 147 years' acquisitions and incurred $0.2 million in non-cash charges.acquisitions. In addition, we paid out $149.3$100.3 million relating to holdback/earn-out liabilities primarily related to certain prior period acquisitions (including $2.3 million relating to earn-out liabilities) against the reserves established during and prior to fiscal 2002. In addition, during fiscal 2002, we assumed pre-existing put option rights of $105.9 million, of which $102.6 million has been paid in cash.acquisitions. Holdback liabilities represent a portion of the purchase price that is withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquisition balance sheet. Certain acquisitions have provisions which require Tyco to make additional "earn-out" payments to the sellers if the acquired company achieves certain milestones subsequent to its acquisition by Tyco. These earn-out payments are tied to certain performance measures, such as revenue, gross margin or earnings growth. Also, in fiscal 2002,2003, we determined that $189.4$207.2 million of purchase accounting reservesliabilities related to acquisitions prior to fiscal 20022003 were not needed and reversed that amount against goodwill. At September 30, 2002,2003, there remained $539.0$199.0 million in purchase accounting reservesaccruals on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $324.1$79.7 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $214.9$119.3 million is included in other long-term liabilities. In addition, $268.2$211.7 million of holdback/earn-out liabilities remained on

150



our Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $124.5$93.1 million are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $143.7$118.6 million are included in other long-term liabilities.

        As required by SFAS No. 142, all business combinations completed in fiscal 2002 were accounted for under the purchase accounting method. At the time each purchase acquisition is made, we recorded transaction costs and the costs of integrating the purchased company within the relevant Tyco business segment. The amounts of such reservesliabilities established in fiscal 2002 are detailed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These amounts are not charged against current earnings but are treated as additional purchase price consideration and have the effect of increasing the amount of goodwill recorded in connection with the respective acquisition. We view these costs as the equivalent of additional purchase price consideration when we consider making an acquisition. If the amount of the reserves provesliabilities prove to be in excess of costs actually incurred, any excess is used to reduce the goodwill account that was established at the time the acquisition was made. Any shortfall will be recorded in earnings.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002,2003, the Company sold certain of its businesses for net proceeds of approximately $138.7 million in cash that consist primarily of certaininitiated a proposed divestiture program which includes the TGN and other non-core businesses within all of our operating segments except Plastics and Adhesives. Combined fiscal 2003 revenues for businesses under consideration for potential divestiture totaled approximately $2 billion. The estimated potential proceeds from sales (excluding the HealthcareTGN) could be at least $400 million. If we dispose of these businesses, we may not fully recover their recorded book values. At September 30, 2003, however, under the held and Specialty Products and Fire and Security Services segments. In connection withused model, the assets of these dispositions, the Company recorded a net gain of $7.2 million (excluding a previous charge of $125.3 million for impairment associated with these assets whichbusinesses were held for sale). During fiscal 2001, we entered into an agreement to acquire C.R. Bard, Inc., a healthcare products manufacturer. On February 6, 2002, Tyco and C.R. Bard, Inc. mutually terminated the merger agreement. Each party bore its own costs, and no break up fee was paid. During fiscal 2002, we entered into an agreement to acquire McGrath RentCorp, a leading rental provider of modular offices and classrooms and electronic test equipment. On July 1, 2002, McGrath RentCorp elected to terminate the transaction agreement. Tyco reimbursed McGrath's cost and expenses in the amount of $1.25 million. 148 The following details the fiscal 2002 capital expenditures, net, and depreciation by segment ($ in millions):

        We continue to fund capital expenditures to improve the cost structure of our businesses, to invest in new processes and technology, and to maintain high quality production standards. The level of capital expenditures for the Fire and Security Services segment significantly exceeded, and is expected to continue to exceed, depreciation due to growth in the number of new security system installations. During fiscal 2002,2003, we spent $1,146.0$112.7 million on construction of the TGN. Construction of the TGN was substantially completed during fiscal 2002.2003. Consequently, the level of capital expenditures in the Electronics segment is expected to decrease significantly in fiscal 2003.2004. The level of capital expenditures in the other segments should not exceed depreciation in fiscal 20032004 and should approximate the level of spending in fiscal 2002.2003.

        The provision for income taxes relating to continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 20022003 was $257.7$764.5 million, and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds) during the year was $368.1$142.5 million. The difference is due to timing differences, as well as the tax benefits related to the exercise of share options. The current income tax liability at September 30, 2002 was $2,218.9 million, as compared to $1,845.0 million at September 30, 2001. During fiscal 2002, we received proceeds of $185.7 million from the exercise of common share optionsnet operating loss carryforward and used $789.2 million of cash to repurchase our own common shares. Other than to satisfy the pre-existing put option rights associated with the acquisition of Sensormatic, we ceased repurchasing our common shares and will not consider implementing future repurchases until our short-term debt levels are significantly reduced.

The decreaseincrease in shareholders' equity was due primarily to a net losscurrency translation adjustments of $9,411.7$1,445.4 million and the repurchasenet income of our common shares discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by the following: (i) the issuance of approximately 47.8 million common shares valued at $1,918.8 million for the acquisition of Sensormatic, (ii) the conversion of TyCom shares not already owned by Tyco into 17.7 million Tyco common shares valued at $819.9 million in connection with the amalgamation with TyCom, (iii) $235.6 million for the fair value of shares issued and options assumed in connection with the fiscal 2001 acquisition of Mallinckrodt, (iv) the issuance of 44,139 common shares valued at $2.3 million related to an earn-out payment, and (iv) $42.0 million for the fair value of options assumed.$979.6 million.

If the option is exercised at any one of the aforementioned dates, TIG must repurchase the debentures at par plus accrued but unpaid interest, and may elect to repurchase the securities for cash, Tyco common shares, or some combination thereof. TIG may redeem for cash some or all of the Series A debentures and Series B debentures at any time on or after January 20, 2006 and January 20, 2008, respectively. Net proceeds of approximately $1,487.8$4,387.5 million, before out of pocket expenses, from these debentures were used primarily to repay borrowings under TIG's commercial paper program.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, Tyco repaid upon maturity its $300.0 million 6.5% public notes due 2001. In January 2002,2003, TIG entered into a $1.5 billion bridge loan, which was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco, which had a weighted average interest rate of 3.66%. TIG repaid $645.0 million in April 2002 and the remainder in June 2002. In February 2002, TIG borrowed the available $2.0 billion of capacity under its 5-year364-day unsecured revolving credit facility which had been maintained as liquidity supportalso provides for its commercial paper 151 program.issuance of unsecured letters of credit. The facility, which expires in February 2006, is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco and certain of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed in part by various subsidiaries of TIG, has a variable LIBO-basedinterest rate whichbased on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIG can vary depending upon changes in its credit rating and in the market price of one of its outstanding debt securities. TIG also pays a commitment fee of 0.50% annually on any unused portion of the line of credit. The facility was 4.94% asnot utilized in fiscal 2003.

        At February 12, 2003, the accreted value of September 30, 2002. Also, inTIG's zero coupon convertible debentures with a February 2002,2003 put option was $1,850.8 million. On February 13, 2003, TIG borrowed $3.855 billion under its 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility and exercised its option to convert this facility into a term loan expiring on February 6, 2003. The loan, which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco, has a variable LIBO-based rate, which was 4.99% aspurchased $1,850.1 million accreted value of September 30, 2002. Proceedsthese debentures for cash. This purchase resulted from the bridge loan and credit facilities were used to pay off maturing commercial paper at the scheduled maturities and to provide additional available capital. During the fourth quarterexercise of fiscal 2002 TIG paid off its $1.037 billion 6.875% private placement notes due 2002. The following table details our debt ratings at September 30, 2001, March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002. Following the borrowings in February 2002, Standard & Poor's and Fitch downgraded our long-term debt and commercial paper ratings, while Moody's confirmed its ratings, resulting in the ratings shown in the March 31, 2002 column in the table below. Subsequent to March 31, 2002, Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch further downgraded our ratings as shown in the September 30, 2002 column in the table below primarily as a result of Tyco's revision of its plan to separate into four independent public companies, the weak economic environment of the electronics and telecommunications industries, public speculation regarding liquidity concerns at Tyco, and the resignations of our former chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief corporate counsel.

- ------------------------------ (1) At September 30, 2002, Moody's differentiated the ratings between Tyco's and TIG's outstanding debt. The Moody's debt rating on Tyco's convertible debentures was downgraded to a Ba3 rating. THE SECURITY RATINGS SET FORTH ABOVE ARE NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY, SELL OR HOLD SECURITIES AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVISION OR WITHDRAWAL BY THE ASSIGNING RATING ORGANIZATION. EACH RATING SHOULD BE EVALUATED INDEPENDENTLY OF ANY OTHER RATING. As a result of the rating agencies' downgrade of Tyco's debt to below investment grade status in June 2002, TIG was required to pay $256.7 million to repurchase its Y30 billion 3.5% notes due 2030 in July 2002. In addition, the rating of below investment grade status caused the interest rate on our $400 million 7.2% notes due 2008 to increase to 8.2%, until such time that the rating by Moody's returns to investment grade. The downgrade also gave the investors in two of our accounts receivable programs theinvestors' option to discontinue reinvestment in new receivables and terminate the programs. The investors did not exercise this option and one program was subsequently amended to continue reinvestment. The amount outstanding under the other program was $132.4 millionindenture to require TIG to purchase at September 30, 2002.accreted values debentures validly surrendered by February 12, 2003.

        In June 1998,2003, TIG issued $750.0 millionrepurchased for cash all of its 6.25% Dealer Remarketable Securities ("Drs.") due 2013. UnderThe total Dollar Price paid was $902 million, based upon the terms$750 million par value of the Drs., plus the Remarketing Dealer has an option to remarketdifference between a Base Rate of 5.55% and the Drs. in June 2003. If this option is exercised it would subjectthen current ten-year United States Treasury yield-to-maturity.

        On July 30, 2003 and on August 1, 2003, TIG paid from cash the Drs. to mandatory tender to the Remarketing Dealerentire remaining par value of its Floating Rate Notes and reset the interest rate to an adjusted fixed rate until June 2013. If the Remarketing Dealer does not exercise its option, then all Drs. are required to be tendered to the Company in June 2003. If these debentures are tendered, TIG would be required to repurchase them for cash. 152 The table below includes our projected cash flows through December 2003, our first quarter of fiscal 2004 ($ in millions). This table assumes that the convertible debentures described above are retired for cash.

- ------------------------------ (1) Fiscal 2002 free cash flow was $2.8 billion. Fiscal 2003 free cash flow is estimated to be in a range of $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion. Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 is estimated to be in a range of break-even to $300 million. (2) $1.9 billion of this amount represents payment for repurchase of the zero coupon convertible bonds at the option of the holders in February 2003. We intend to negotiate a new bank credit facility to refinance a portion of the $3.9 billion outstanding under our existing facility, which expires in February 2003. (3) This amount represents payment for repurchase of the zero coupon convertible bonds at the option of the holders in November 2003. (4) This amount excludes approximately $196 million of short-term restricted cash and treasury bills with maturities in excess of ninety days but less than one year4.95% Notes of approximately $94 million. The fiscal 2003$488 million and 2004 free cash flow ranges reflect uncertainties as a result of our liquidity issues and general economic uncertainties. In July 2002, we received net proceeds of $4.4 billion, after deducting estimated out of pocket expenses, from the sale of all of CIT's common shares through an initial public offering. We plan to use the net proceeds to repay short-term and long-term borrowings and for working capital and other corporate purposes.$534 million, respectively.

        In November 2000, Tyco issued $4,657.5 million principal amount at maturity of zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3,374.0 million. The debentures accrete interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum. During fiscal 2003, Tyco is required to repurchasepurchased $1,085.7 million (par value $1,415.2 million) of the remaining securitiesdebentures for cash at the option of theapproximately $1,062.8 million. On November 17, 2003, holders at the then accreted value in November 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014. In February 2001, TIG issued $3,035.0 millionof principal amount at maturity of zero coupon convertible debentures due 2021 for aggregate net proceeds of $2,203.4 million. The debentures, which are guaranteed by$3,196.7 million notified Tyco accrete interestthat they had exercised their option to require Tyco to repurchase their notes at a rate of 1.5% per annum. TIG is required to repurchase the remaining securities at the option of the holders at the accreted value of approximately $1.9 billion in February 2003. TIG may elect to refinance these debentures, or repurchase them for cash or Tyco common shares or some combination thereof. If the holders of the debentures exercise their put option, the number of common shares needed to satisfy the put option in lieu of cash is the fair value of Tyco's stock, based on the stock price for a defined period of time around the settlement date. Based on Tyco's stock price as of a recent date (December 20, 2002), we would need to issue approximately 110 million common shares if all of the debentures were put back to the Company and we elected to use common shares to satisfy all of the debentures. Any shares issuable under the debentures were registered at the time of the offering. TIG may also be required to repurchase these securities for cash at the option of the holders at the then accreted value in February 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2016. During fiscal 2002 TIG repurchased $475.7 million (principal amount at maturity) of these debentures. 153 As illustrated in the foregoing table and discussed above, we have significant amounts of debt which matures in fiscal 2003 as well as future periods, including, without limitation approximately $1.9 billion which matures in February 2003. In addition, we have outstanding approximately $3.9 billion under our existing credit facility which expires in February 2003. We intend to enter into a new credit facility to refinance a portion of the $3.9 billion outstanding under our existing credit facility. We believe that our cash flow from our operations, together with proceeds from the CIT IPO, is adequate to fund our operations and service our debt through the end of fiscal 2003. However, events beyond our control such as the result of ongoing litigation and governmental investigations, a decrease in demand for our products and services, further debt rating downgrades or deterioration in our financial ratios could negatively impact our accessibility to financing and cost of funds. In addition to negotiating a new bank credit facility, we believe there are a number of financing alternatives which could be available to meet the projected cash deficit in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, including refinancing maturing debt, raising funds through the sale of non-core businesses, raising capital through new debt, and/or equity issuances. In calendar year 2003, total maturities and potential puts of convertible debentures amounts to approximately $11.3 billion. Our zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 and zero coupon convertible debentures due 2021 may be converted into Tyco common shares at the option of the holders if any one of the following conditions is satisfied for the relevant debentures: - if the closing sale price of Tyco common shares for$775.66 per $1,000 principal at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date of surrender is more than 110% of the accreted conversion price per common share of the relevant debentures on that preceding trading day; - if the Company has called the relevant debentures for redemption after a certain date; and - upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, such as if Tyco makes a significant distribution to its shareholders or if it is a party to specific consolidations, mergers or binding share exchanges. The conversion feature of the zero coupon convertible debentures due 2020 and 2021 was not available to the debt holders at September 30, 2002 as shown in the following table:
ZERO COUPON ZERO COUPON CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES DEBENTURES DUE 2020 DUE 2021 ----------- ----------- Stock price at September 30, 2002................... $14.10 $14.10 Accreted conversion price per common share at September 30, 2002(1)............................. $73.63 $86.94
- ------------------------------ (1) Accreted conversion price per common share is equal tomaturity representing the accreted value of the respective debenturesnotes on that date. On November 18, 2003, Tyco purchased these notes for cash of $2,479.6 million.

        Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as interest coverage, debt to EBITDA and leverage ratios, and minimum levels of net worth and restrictive covenants that limit the amount of debt we can incur and restrict our ability to (i) pay dividends or make other payments in connection with our capital stock (ii) make acquisitions or investments (iii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions (iv) pledge assets and (v) prepay debt that matures after December 31, 2004. Specifically, TIG is the borrower under a 5-year, $2.0 billion revolving credit facility that contains a financial covenant based on the Company's leverage ratio. The maximum allowable leverage ratio as defined under this agreement is 52.5%. At September 30, 2003, this ratio declined to 46.3% from 51.3% at September 30, 2001 divided2002. We also have several synthetic lease facilities with similar covenants. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including a negative pledge, limit on subsidiary debt and limit on sale/leasebacks. None of these covenants is presently considered restrictive to our operations.

        As a result of the rating agencies' downgrade of Tyco's debt in fiscal 2002, investors in one of our accounts receivable programs have the option to discontinue reinvestment in new receivables. The amount outstanding under this program was $103.2 million at September 30, 2003.

        On November 12, 2003, TIG issued $1.0 billion par value 6% Notes due 2013 in a private placement offering. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by their respective conversion rates.Tyco. The conversion price increases asCompany announced its intention to negotiate new revolving bank credit facilities and, upon negotiation of such facilities, to use the note proceeds to reduce the $2.0 billion outstanding under the 5-year revolving credit facility due 2006. In addition, subsequent to year end, TIG executed LIBOR-in-arrears interest rate swaps on notional value $875 million against these notes. Under these swaps Tyco will receive 6% and pay on average 6-month LIBOR plus 90.3 basis points.

        Tyco is currently negotiating a $1.5 billion 3-year revolving credit facility which includes a $500 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility with a 1-year term out option. These facilities have a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIG can vary depending upon changes in its credit rating. These new facilities will replace the $1.5 billion undrawn 364-day revolving credit facility, due to expire at the end of January 2004, and the $2.0 billion drawn 5-year revolving credit facility, due to expire in February 2006.

Fitch's upgrade of Tyco's long-term debt recognizes the progress made by the Company with respect to debt reduction and improving cash flow.

        On December 11, 2003, Moody's confirmed the debt ratings of TIG and raised the rating outlook of Tyco to positive. Moody's indicated that this action reflects the progress the Company has made in addressing recent liquidity concerns through the refinancing/repayment of approximately $11 billion of debt maturities and putable debt in 2003, as well as Moody's expectation for continued-strong free cash flow generation, profit improvement and debt reduction over the near-to-intermediate-term.

        In addition to the commitments discussed in the table above, a subsidiary of the Company has the option to buy five cable laying sea vessels upon expiration of the lease in fiscal 2007 for approximately

$280 million, or return the vessels to the lessor and, under a guarantee, pay any shortfall in sales proceeds from a third party in an amount not to exceed $235 million.

        At September 30, 2002,2003, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $627.2$849.2 million.

        At September 30, 2002, in addition to the2003, Tyco had unsecured credit facilities of $3.9$1.5 billion due 2004, all of which is undrawn and available, and $2.0 billion due 2003 and 2006, respectively,all of which is drawn (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, certain of the Company's operating subsidiaries have overdraft and similar types of facilities which total $0.7$1.1 billion, of which $0.4$0.7 billion was undrawn and available. These facilities expire at various dates through the year 20122015, most of which are renewable and are established primarily within international operations. In January 2002,

The Company does not anticipate any problems with meetingaccrued at September 30, 2003, as the outcome of this deadline.contingency cannot be reasonably determined.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, and certainsome members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, the plaintiffs have filed a motion which seeks to add certain members of our current Board of Directors and management as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") 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 class actions, derivative actions and several ERISA claims.claims pending against Tyco. In May and July 2003, complaints were filed against Tyco and our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer purporting to represent a class of purchasers of Tyco securities alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. We may beare generally obliged to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are also are named as defendants in some or all of these matters.matters to the extent permitted by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriercarriers may decline coverage, or suchour coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, if any, in some or all of these matteres.matters. See "Business--Risk"Risk Factors" below and "Legal Proceedings." 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 aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse settlement of these matters.

        We and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC,SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. In addition, while we believe we have adequately responded to a Governmental Services Action ("GSA") action questioning whether Tyco lacked the present responsibility to be a

155



government contractor due to concerns the GSA has expressed as a result of the alleged serious criminal misconduct of our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, the GSA has reserved the right to take appropriate actions if additional information warrants it. 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 time 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. See "Bussiness--Risk Factors"It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse settlement of these matters.

        Tyco and "Legal Proceedings."our subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, annual results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

        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 September 30, 2003, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $142 million to $451 million. As of September 30, 2003, Tyco concluded that the best probable estimate within this range is approximately $270 million, of which $32 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $238 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $270 million, the Company has concluded that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

        Like many other companies, Tyco and some of our subsidiaries are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. The majority of these cases have been filed against subsidiaries in our Healthcare and Specialty Products division and our Engineered Products and Services division. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. Some of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because our subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in our experience, a large percentage of these claims were never 155 substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. Our vigorous defense of these lawsuits has resulted in judgments in our favor in all cases tried to verdict. We have not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims.

156



        When appropriate, we settle claims. However, the total amount paid to date to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. Currently,As of September 30, 2003, there arewere approximately 11,00014,000 asbestos liability cases pending against us and our subsidiaries.

        We believe that we and our subsidiaries have substantial indemnification protection and insurance coverage, subject to applicable deductibles, with respect to asbestos claims. These indemnitors and the relevant carriers typically have been honoring their duty to defend and indemnify. We believe that we have valid defenses to these claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously. Additionally, based on our historical experience in asbestos litigation and an analysis of our current cases, we believe that we have adequate amounts accrued for potential settlements and adverse judgments in asbestos-related litigation. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, we believe that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account our substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations financial position or cash flows. BACKLOGliquidity.

Backlog

        At September 30, 2002,2003, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of $11,591.3$11,533.9 million, compared to a backlog of $11,174.2$11,015.5 million at September 30, 2001.2002. We expect that approximately 79%83% of our backlog at September 30, 20022003 will be filled during fiscal 2003.2004. Backlog by reportable industry segment is as follows ($ in millions):

Within the Fire and Security Services segment, backlog increased primarily due to an increase in recurring revenue in force as a result of growth in certain geographies in ADT's dealer program, offset in part byfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

        Within the curtailment, and in certain end-markets, the termination of the ADT dealer program. Backlog also increased due to an increase at our U.K. Fire Protection business and the acquisition of Sensormatic, which resulted in an addition of approximately $57 million to backlog.Electronics segment, backlog remained level. Backlog for Engineered Products and Services increased primarily due to acquisitions completed in the current fiscal year. Fiscal 2001 backlog for the segment has been increased by $175.1 million as a result of certain long-term contracts not previously reported offset by an adjustment to reflect net revenues instead of gross revenues at Tyco Infrastructure Services. Of the $643.4 million decrease within the Electronics segment, backlog decreased approximately $500 million as there were noseveral new contracts for undersea cable communication systems signed in fiscal 2002 asand, to a result of the downturn in the telecommunications industry.

        Tyco has several programs under which it sells participating interests in accounts receivable to investors who, in turn, purchase and receive ownership and security interests in those receivables. As collections reduce accounts receivable included in the pool, the Company sells new receivables. The Company has the risk of credit loss on the receivables and, accordingly, the full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts has been retained on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2003, the availability under these programs is $1,025 million. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, $803 million and $933 million, respectively, was utilized under the programs. The proceeds from the sales were used to repay short-term and long-term borrowings and for working capital and other corporate purposes and are reported as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The sale proceeds are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount that approximates the cost that would be incurred if commercial paper were issued backed by these accounts receivable. The discount from the face amount is accounted for as a loss on the sale of receivables and has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such discount aggregated $29.0 million, $17.0 million, and $25.3 million, or 3.5%, 2.7%, and 5.3% of the weighted-average balance of the receivables outstanding, during fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company retains collection and administrative responsibilities for the participating interests in the defined pool. Also, some of our international businesses sell accounts receivable as a short-term financing mechanism. These transactions qualify as true sales. The aggregate amount outstanding under these arrangements was $202 million and $157 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        As a result of the rating agencies' downgrade of Tyco's debt in June 2002, investors of one of our accounts receivable programs have the option to discontinue reinvestment in new receivables and terminate the program. However, the investors have not exercised this option. The amount outstanding under this program was $103.2 million and $132.4 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

        During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FIN 46, which requires identification of the Company's participation in VIE's, which are entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For entities identified as VIE's, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to VIE's, if any, bears a majority of the risk to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns.

        The Company has programs under which it sells machinery and equipment to investors who, in turn, purchase and receive ownership and security interests in those assets. As such, the Company may have certain investments in those affiliated companies whereby it provides varying degrees of financial support and where the investors are entitled to a share in the results of those entities but do not consolidate these entities. While these entities may be substantive operating companies, they have been evaluated for potential consolidation under FIN 46.

        As discussed in "Results of Operations—Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes," the Company has three synthetic lease programs utilized, to some extent, by all of the Company's segments to finance capital expenditures for manufacturing machinery and equipment and for ships used by Tyco Submarine Telecommunications. During fiscal 2003, the Company restructured one of the synthetic leases to meet the requirements of FIN 46 for operating lease accounting and reclassified the remaining two leases as capital leases. In addition, the Company evaluated other investments and concluded that four joint ventures that were previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting within Tyco Infrastructure Services, in which we own a minority interest, meet the consolidation criteria set forth in

158



FIN 46. Accordingly, these ventures have been consolidated onto the Company's balance sheet. The following table presents balance sheet information for the VIE's that were included within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet under the transitional accounting prescribed by FIN 46 effective July 1, 2003 ($ in millions):

Restricted cash $21.7 
Accounts receivable  7.5 
Property, plant and equipment  433.8

Guarantees

        The Company may, from time to time, enter into sales contracts whereby it will buy back (at a discount) a transaction from a customer's third-party financier in the event of a customer's default. For such transactions that include "shared risk," the Company accrues a liability based on historical loss data. As of September 30, 2003, $3.2 million was accrued related to these contracts. In the event the Company must pay for this shared risk, the Company's recourse is as follows: place the lease with a financially viable third-party financier; repossess the purchased products or equipment; seek payment through a personal guarantee issued by the customer; or, alternatively, sue the customer.

        The Company's Fire and Security business has guaranteed the performance of a third-party contractor. The performance guarantee arose from contract negotiations, because the contractor could provide cost-effective service on a telecommunications contract. In the event the contractor does not perform its contractual obligations, Tyco Fire and Security would perform the service itself. Therefore, the Company's exposure would be the cost of any services performed, which would not have a material effect to the Company's financial position or annual results of operations. Because it is not probable that the Company will have to make any payments or perform any services pursuant to the guarantee it has not recorded any obligation related to the guarantee. The contract was entered into in July 2002 and expires at the end of the warranty period, July 2004. If the third-party sub-contractor does not perform its obligations, Tyco may consider withholding any future payment for work performed by the contractor.

        The Company, in disposing of assets or businesses, often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate

159



environmental contamination at hazardous waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

        The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Commitments and Contingencies" above for a discussion of these liabilities.

        The Company has guaranteed the fair value of certain vessels not to exceed $235 million and has accrued $10.4 million and $4.4 million as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, based on its estimate of fair value of the vessels (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Commitments and Contingencies" above).

        Due to the Company's downsizing of certain operations as part of restructuring plans, acquisitions, or otherwise, the Company has leased properties which it has vacated but has sub-let to third parties. In the event third parties vacate the premises, the Company would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. The Company believes that the financial risk of default by sub-lessors is individually and in the aggregate not material to the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, annual results of operations or liquidity.

        The Company generally accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In other instances, additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For further information on estimated product warranty, see Notes 1 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Recent Developments at Tyco

    Continuing negative publicity may adversely affect our business.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco has been the subject of continuing negative publicity focusing on former senior corporate management's actions. This negative publicity contributed to significant declines in the prices of our publicly traded securities in 2002 and has brought increased regulatory scrutiny upon us. A number of suppliers have requested letters of credit to support our purchase orders. We also believe that many of our employees are operating under stressful conditions, which reduces morale and could lead to increased employee turnover. Continuing negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity and the market price of our publicly traded securities.

    Pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our current Chief Executive Officer are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as in a number of derivative actions. In the consolidated derivative action, the plaintiffs have filed a motion which seeks to add certain members of our current Board of Directors and management as defendants. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") 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 class actions, derivative actions and ERISA claims pending against Tyco. In May and July 2003, complaints were filed against Tyco and our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer purporting to represent a class of purchasers of Tyco securities alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. We are generally obliged 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 permitted 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 condition, results of operations and liquidity.

    Our senior corporate management team is required to devote significant attention to matters arising from actions of prior management.

        We have replaced our senior corporate executives with an entirely new team, and our entire Board of Directors determined not to stand for reelection. A new Board of Directors was elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2003. It will take some time for our new management

161


team and our new Board of Directors to learn about our various businesses and to develop strong working relationships with our cadre of operating managers at our various subsidiary companies. Our new senior corporate management team's ability to complete this process has been and continues to be hindered by their need to spend significant time and effort dealing with internal and external investigations, developing effective corporate governance procedures, strengthening reporting lines and reviewing internal controls. During this period and in order to complete this process, our new executives will depend in part on advisors, including certain former directors. We cannot assure you that this major restructuring of our Board of Directors and senior management team, and the accompanying distractions, in this environment, will not adversely affect our results of operations.

    Continued scrutiny resulting from ongoing investigations may have an adverse effect on our business.

        We and others have received subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the District Attorney of New York County, the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. In addition, while we believe we have adequately responded to a GSA action questioning whether Tyco lacked the present responsibility to be a government contractor due to concerns the GSA has expressed as a result of the alleged serious criminal misconduct of our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, the GSA has reserved the right to take appropriate actions if additional information warrants it. We are also subject to ongoing audits by the Internal Revenue Service and various State tax authorities. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that the effects and results of these or other investigations will not be material and adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

        Tyco and our subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory tax authorities. In connection with such examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, have raised issues and proposed tax deficiencies. We are reviewing the issues raised by the tax authorities and are contesting certain of the proposed tax deficiencies. Amounts related to these tax deficiencies and other tax contingencies that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been accrued through the income tax provision. We believe, but we cannot assure you, that the ultimate resolution of these tax deficiencies and contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, annual results of operations and liquidity.

    An ongoing SEC Investigation may require us to further amend or restate our public disclosures.

        We are subject to an investigation by the SEC's Division of Enforcement. We cannot assure you the resolution of the Division of Enforcement's investigation will not necessitate further amendments or restatements to our previously-filed periodic reports or lead to some enforcement proceedings against Tyco. The SEC Division of Enforcement has not completed its review of prior management's actions and our accounting, including the matters covered by the Company's Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2002.

162


    Further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures could have an adverse effect on us.

        New management has determined that, in the past, Tyco in general suffered from: poor documentation; inadequate policies and procedures to prevent the misconduct of senior corporate executives; inadequate procedures for proper corporate authorizations; inadequate approval procedures and documentation; a lack of oversight by senior management at the corporate level; a pattern of using aggressive accounting that, even when in accordance with GAAP, was intended to increase reported earnings above what they would have been if more conservative accounting had been employed; pressure on, and inducements to, segment and unit managers to increase current earnings, including by decisions as to what accounting treatment to employ; and a lack of a stated and demonstrable commitment by former senior corporate management to set high standards of ethics, integrity, accounting, and corporate governance. While we have implemented new procedures, we cannot assure you that we will not discover that there have been further instances of breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures.

    Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.

        We estimate that our available cash and our cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our operations and service our debt for the forseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with our pending litigation and have assumed that we will be able to renegotiate our bank credit facilities prior to its expiration in January 2004. Any material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from our pending investigations and litigations could require additional funding. If such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonably terms or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

        Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;

    restrict our ability to introduce new technologies or exploit business opportunities;

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our payment obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness; and

    increase the difficulty and/or cost to us of refinancing our indebtedness.

    Restrictive covenants in our debt instruments may adversely affect us.

        Our bank credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, such as interest coverage, debt to EBITDA and leverage ratios, and minimum levels of net worth and restrictive covenants that limit the amount of debt we can incur and restrict our ability to (i) pay dividends or make other payments in connection with our capital stock (ii) make acquisitions or investments (iii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions (iv) pledge assets and (v) prepay debt that matures after December 31, 2004. We have three synthetic lease facilities with similar covenants. Our outstanding indentures contain customary covenants including a negative pledge, limit on subsidiary debt and limit on sale/leasebacks.

163


        Although we believe none of these covenants is presently considered restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet these financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements or indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities or indentures, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our credit facilities and our other indebtedness. Acceleration of any obligation under any of our material debt instruments will permit the holders of our other material debt to accelerate their obligations.

    Downgrades of our ratings would adversely affect us.

        Certain downgrades by Moody's and S&P would permit the providers of our receivables facilities to cease further purchases under the facilities and would increase the interest cost of our credit facility borrowings. Downgrades may also increase our cost of capital and make it more difficult for us to obtain new financing.

Risks Relating to Our Businesses

    Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        Our operating results in some of our segments are affected adversely by the general cyclical pattern of the industries in which they operate. For example, demand for the products and services of our Fire and Security and Engineered Products and Services segments is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. Most importantly, our electronic components business is heavily dependent on the end markets it serves and therefore has been affected by the weak demand and declining capital investment in the communications, computer, industrial machine and commercial aerospace industries. We have also experienced pricing pressures, which have reduced margins in several of our businesses, and we cannot assure you that there will be significant margin improvements in the near future. This cyclical impact can be amplified because some of our business segments purchase products from other business segments. For example, our Fire and Security segment purchases certain products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment. Therefore, a drop in demand for our fire prevention products, due to lower new residential or office construction or other factors, can cause a drop in demand for certain of our products sold by our Engineered Products and Services segment.

    Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.

        We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things: the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees. There can be no assurances that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with environmental laws. If we violate these laws, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. One of our subsidiaries in our Electronics segment was advised by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut that it is the target of a federal grand jury investigation concerning alleged Clean Water Act violations at two manufacturing plants. We understand that certain former and current employees at these plants are subjects of the investigation relating to violations of applicable permits, and that those employees at one of these plants have pleaded guilty to felony violations of the Clean Water Act. In addition, the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection has filed a civil action in Hartford Superior Court alleging violations of Connecticut environmental statutes and regulations.

164


        Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances and costs to restore damage to natural resources. In addition to cleanup costs resulting from environmental laws, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored or disposed of by us or contained in our products.

        We have been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain foreign and state environmental agencies that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous wastes require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and for natural resource damages. We also have a number of projects underway at several of our current and former manufacturing facilities in order to comply with environmental laws. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including radioactive materials decontamination and decommissioning, solvent and metal contamination cleanup and oil spill equipment upgrades and replacement. These projects, some of which are voluntary and some of which are required under applicable law, involve both remediation expenses and capital improvements. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations sold by us.

        The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. We have concluded that it is probable that we will incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $142 million to $451 million. As of September 30, 2003, we concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $270 million, of which $32 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $238 million is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2003. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition and 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.

    We may be required to recognize additional impairment charges.

        Pursuant to GAAP, we are required to periodically assess our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets to determine if they are impaired. Further disruptions to our business, end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit, and market capitalization declines may result in additional charges to goodwill and other asset impairments. Future impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the period of such charge. In addition, such charges would reduce our consolidated net worth and our shareholders' equity, increasing our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio. Such reduction in consolidated net worth and increase in debt as a percentage of total capitalization could result in a default under our credit facilities.

    We are subject to a variety of litigation in the course of our business that could cause an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to a significant amount of litigation, including litigation alleging the infringement of intellectual property rights, litigation alleging anti-competitive behavior and product liability litigation. Patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful

165


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 awards or settlements 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 an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates the approval, manufacturing and sale and marketing of many of our healthcare products. Failure to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices and other applicable regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary manufacturing shutdowns, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an increase in trends of adverse events in the market place, and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to our products could lead to product recalls, withdrawals or declining sales.

    Our ADT business has recently experienced higher rates of customer attrition, which may reduce our future revenues and has caused us to change the useful life of accounts, increasing our depreciation and amortization expense.

        Attrition rates for customers in our global electronic security services business were 15.9%, 13.2% and 12.3% on a trailing 12-month basis for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. If attrition rates continue to rise, ADT's recurring revenues and results of operations will be adversely affected. The Company 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 the Company may be required to accelerate the amortization of the costs related to these pools.

Risks Relating to Our Jurisdictions of Incorporation

    Legislation and negative publicity regarding Bermuda companies could increase our tax burden and affect our operating results.

        Several members of the U.S. Congress have introduced legislation relating to the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions, which could be deemed to cover the combination in 1997 with ADT, as a result of which ADT, a Bermuda company, changed its name to Tyco and became the parent of the Tyco group. Any such legislation, if enacted, could have the effect of substantially reducing or eliminating the tax benefits of our structure and materially increasing our future tax burden or otherwise adversely affecting our business. In addition, even if no tax legislation is ultimately enacted that specifically covers our 1997 combination, the enactment of other tax proposals that have been or may be made in the future to address expatriation transactions could have a material impact on our future tax burden. The State of California has recently adopted legislation that purports to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other foreign-chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. Although the California law provides that waivers may be issued permitting such companies to participate in state contracts under certain circumstances, it is unclear how that waiver authority will be exercised. Other federal and state legislative proposals, if enacted, could limit or even prohibit our eligibility to be awarded U.S. or state government contracts. We are unable to predict the likelihood or final form in which any proposed legislation might become law or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any such future legislative enactments.

166


As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to assess the impact on us of any proposed legislation in this area. There has recently been negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, U.S. companies' use of, or relocation to, offshore jurisdictions, including Bermuda. As a Bermuda company, this negative publicity could harm our reputation and impair our ability to generate new business if companies or government agencies decline to do business with us as a result of the negative public image of Bermuda companies or the possibility of our clients receiving negative media attention from doing business with a Bermuda company.

    Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

        Holders of Tyco securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. See "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities."

        As a Bermuda company, Tyco is governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification. Under Bermuda law, directors and officers may have a personal interest in contracts or arrangements with a company or its subsidiaries transactions so long as such personal interest is first disclosed to the company. 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.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices. 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, commodity swaps and interest rate swaps. We do not anticipate any material changes in our primary market risk exposures in fiscal 2003.2004.

        We utilize risk management procedures and controls in executing derivative financial instrument transactions. We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments related to interest rate sensitivity of debt obligations, intercompany cross-border transactions and anticipated non-functional currency cash flows, as well as commodity price exposures, are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so. Counter-parties to derivative financial instruments are limited to financial institutions with at least an A+ long-term debt rating. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Interest Rate Sensitivity

        The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including debt obligations and interest rate swaps. For debt obligations, the table presents cash flows of principal repayment and weighted-average interest rates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates. Notional amounts are used to

ACCOUNTING AND TECHNICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the FASB issuedCompany adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 which addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. This statement rescinds the indicated statements and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 encourages early adoption of the provision of this standard that rescinds SFAS No.4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt." Accordingly, the Company elected to early adopt this provision during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, which resulted in increased pre-tax income of $30.6 million in fiscal 2002. We reclassified prior year extraordinary losses related to the early retirement of debt to other (expense) income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which decreased pre-tax income by $26.3 million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. However net income remains unchanged in both periods. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In July

        Effective October 1, 2002, the FASB issuedCompany adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement nullifies the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities initiated after adoption be recognized and measured at fair value when incurred as opposed to at the date an entity commits to the exit or disposal plans. We expect theThe initial adoption of this new standard todid not have ana material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        Effective January 1, 2003, the timingCompany adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide transition methods for a voluntary change to measuring compensation cost in connection with employee share option plans using a fair value based method. The Statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for compensation cost associated with employee share option plans, as well as the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 and has not changed its method for measuring the compensation cost of share options.

        During fiscal 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees." FIN 45 requires increased disclosure of guarantees, including those for which likelihood of payment is remote, and product warranty information (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). FIN 45 also requires that guarantors recognize a liability for certain types of guarantees equal to the fair value of the guarantee upon its issuance. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," relating to consolidation of certain entities. FIN 46 requires identification of the Company's participation in variable interest entities (VIE's), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For entities identified as VIE's, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to VIE's, if any, future restructuring charges. 159 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATIONbears a majority of the risk to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46 also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIE's that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company adopted FIN 46's accounting provisions as of July 1, 2003. See Notes 12 and 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the impact of FIN 46.

        In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to determine

170



when an arrangement that involves multiple revenue-generating activities or deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. It further states, that if this division is required, the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The guidance in the consensus is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods that began after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149, which is to be applied prospectively, is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) and is effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
