THE STANLEY WORKS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 27, 2008APRIL 4, 2009
 
A.  Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions toForm 10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in The Stanley Works and Subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company”)Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.January 3, 2009.
 
The prior year financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of new accounting standards FSPAPB 14-1 and SFAS 160 which required retrospective application as described in Note B. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reclassified as held for sale in the 2007 consolidated balance sheet, and the earnings from discontinued operations have been reclassified within the consolidated statements of operations.
 
B.  New Accounting Standards
 
Implemented:  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), with respect to items that are regularly adjusted to fair value, as of the beginning of its fiscal year. SFAS 157 provides a common fair value hierarchy to follow in determining fair value measurements in the preparation of financial statements and expands disclosure requirements relating to how such measurements were developed. SFAS 157 indicates that an exit value (selling price) should be utilized in fair value measurements rather than an entrance value, or cost basis, and that performance risks, such as credit risk, should be included in the measurements of fair value even when the risk of non-performance is remote. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value measurements should be based on assumptions the marketplace would use when pricing an asset whenever practicable, rather than company-specific assumptions. On February 12, 2008 the FASB issued Staff PositionNo. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”(“FSP 157-2”) which amends SFAS 157 to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for those that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Accordingly, in fiscal 2008 the Company has followed the SFAS 157 guidance to value its financial assets and liabilities that are routinely adjusted to fair value, predominantly derivatives. The remaining assets and liabilities, to which theFSP 157-2 deferral relates, will be measured at fair value as applicable beginning in fiscal 2009. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 as described above had an immaterial impact on the Company in the current fiscal year. The Company is in the process of determining the impact, if any, that the second phase of the adoption of SFAS 157 in fiscal 2009 will have relating to its fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities (such as intangible assets). Refer to Note O for further information regarding fair value measurements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). This statement became effective for the Company at the beginning of the current fiscal year. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to utilize voluntary fair value measurements as permitted by the standard.
Not Yet Implemented:In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB issued Staff Position Accounting Principles Board (“APB”)14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB14-1”). FSP APB14-1 applies to


6


convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature” permitting settlement partially or fully in cash upon conversion. The guidance requires issuers of such convertible debt securities to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible, unsecured debt borrowing rate. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt into equity, representative of the approximate fair value of the conversion feature at inception, and the amortization of the resulting debt discount to interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of FSP APB14-1 but estimates that approximately $55 million of Long-term debt will be reclassified to equity as of the inception of the $330 million of convertible notes issued in March 2007. The estimated $55 million debt discount will be amortized to interest expense resulting in the recognition of approximately $8-$12 million of additional non-cash interest expense annually. The non-cash interest recognized will gradually increase over time using the effective interest method. FSP APB14-1 will becomeis effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter ofJanuary 2009 and has been applied retrospectively, as required. The impact of adoption of this FSP at the March 2007 issuance date of the $330.0 million of Convertible Notes was a $54.9 million decrease in Long-term debt and a $20.9 million increase in associated deferred tax liabilities pertaining to the interest accretion, and a $0.3 million reclassification of debt issuance costs, net of tax, related to the conversion option feature of the Convertible Notes, totaling a $33.7 million increase to equity. As described more fully in Note I Long-term Debt and Financing Arrangements of the Company’s 2008 Form 10K, in November 2008, the Company repurchased and thereby extinguished $10 million of the Convertible Notes. As a result of this November 2008 $10 million partial extinguishment of the Convertible Notes, the debt discount was reduced by $1.2 million and equity decreased $0.7 million net of tax. The remaining $53.7 million debt discount is requiredbeing amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the Convertible Notes maturity in May 2012. Interest accretion recognized under the FSP in each year is as follows: $7.7 million in 2007; $10.3 million in 2008; $10.2 million in 2009; $10.6 million in 2010; $11.0 million in 2011; and $3.9 million in 2012. The net earnings impact of the interest accretion recognized in accordance with the FSP was $1.6 million, or 2 cents per diluted share, in each of the three month periods ended April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008. Refer to Note I Convertible Notes for further details.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and requires new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. SFAS 157 indicates that an exit value (selling price) should be utilized in fair value measurements rather than an entrance value, or cost

basis, and that performance risks, such as credit risk, should be included in the measurements of fair value even when the risk of non-performance is remote. SFAS 157 also clarifies the principle that fair value measurements should be based on assumptions the marketplace would use when pricing an asset whenever practicable, rather than company-specific assumptions. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Positions (“FSPs”)No. 157-1 andNo. 157-2, which, respectively, removed leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and deferred its effective date for one year relative to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Accordingly, in fiscal 2008 the Company applied retrospectivelySFAS 157 guidance to: (i) all applicable financial assets and liabilities; and (ii) nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). In January 2009, the Company applied this guidance to all remaining assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 for these items did not have a material effect on the Company. Refer to Note M Fair Value Measurements for disclosures relating to SFAS 157.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSPEITF 03-6-1”). Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards with early adoption prohibited.rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities that must be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. The Company adopted FSP EITFNo. 03-6-1 as of January 3, 2009 and calculated basic and diluted earnings per share under both the treasury stock method and the two-class method for all periods presented. There was no difference in the earnings per share under the two methods for the three months ended April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008, and the treasury stock method continues to be reported as detailed in Note C Earnings Per Share.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition), establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and effect of the business combination. This statement applies to all transactions or other events in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. For new acquisitions made following the adoption of SFAS 141(R), significant costs directly related to the acquisition including legal, audit and other fees, as well as most acquisition-related restructuring, will have tomust be expensed as incurred rather than recorded to goodwill as is generally permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”).141. Additionally, contingent purchase price arrangements (also known as earn-outs) willmust be re-measured to estimated fair value with the impact reported in earnings, whereas under present rules the contingent purchase consideration isearnings. With respect to all acquisitions, including those consummated in prior years, changes in tax reserves pertaining to resolution of contingencies or other post acquisition developments will be recorded to goodwill when determined.earnings rather than goodwill. SFAS 141(R) was applied to the Company’s business combinations completed during the first quarter of 2009. The Company is continuing to assess the impact the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will entail.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires reporting entities to present non-controlling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests. SFAS 160 will apply prospectively and is effective as of thehas been applied beginning ofin fiscal 2009 except foras required by the Statement and the presentation and disclosure requirements which will behave been applied retrospectively as required for all periods presented upon adoption. The Company is inpresented. As a result of the process of determining the impact, if any, that the adoptionimplementation of SFAS 160, will$19.2 million and $18.5 million relating to non-controlling interests as of April 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively, have on its resultsbeen recast from Other liabilities to Noncontrolling interests within Equity.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of operationsFASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”) effective for fiscal years and financial position.interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. This pronouncement requires enhanced disclosures but does not impact the accounting for derivative instruments. The Company adopted SFAS 161 in January 2009 and the related disclosures are in Note G Derivative Financial Instruments.
 
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)EITF IssueNo. 03-6-1,07-5, “DeterminingDetermining Whether Instruments Grantedan Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock(“EITF 07-5”), which is effective for the Company in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.January, 2009.EITF 07-5 requires an entity to reevaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including consideration of the contingent exercise and settlement provisions in such instruments. The Company has several instruments that are in scope of the EITF, all of which were reassessed and continue to be classified in equity. As a result, the adoption ofEITF 07-5 had no impact on the Company.
Not Yet Implemented:  In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.UnderThis FSP amends SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” to provide guidance on disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The FSP requires disclosures about how investment allocation decisions are made, the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rightsmajor categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities,measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs and should be included in the two-class methodsignificant concentrations of computing EPS.risk within plan assets. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is2009, with prospective application. The FSP requires enhanced disclosures but does not expected tochange the accounting for pensions. Accordingly, the FSP will not have a significantany impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
In April 2008,2009, the FASB issued FSPNo. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension

In JulyDuring 2008, the Company completed thefourteen acquisitions for an aggregate value of Sonitrol Corporation (“Sonitrol”) and Xmark Corporation (“Xmark”) for $281.3 million in cash and $46.6 million in cash, respectively. The Sonitrol acquisition has preliminarily resulted in $133.1 million of goodwill, the majority of which, will not be deductible for income tax purposes. Sonitrol is a market leader in North American commercial security monitoring services, access control and fire detection systems, with annual revenues of approximately $110$576.6 million. The acquisition will complement the product offering of the pre-existing security integration businesses including HSM acquired in early 2007. The Xmark acquisition has preliminarily resulted in $22.7 million of goodwill, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. Xmark, headquartered in Canada, markets and sells radio frequency identification based systems used to identify, locate and protect people and assets, with annual revenues of approximately $30 million. The acquisition will enhance the Company’s personal security business.
The Company also made five small acquisitions relating to its mechanical access systems and convergent security solutions businesses during 2008. These five acquisitions were acquired for a combined purchase price of $34.0 million.
The total purchase price of $361.9 for the 2008 acquisitions was accounted for as purchases in accordance with SFAS 141.

2009 Actions:  In response to further sales volume declines associated with the economic recession, the Company initiated various cost reduction programs in the first quarter of 2009. Severance charges of $8.3 million were recorded during the quarter relating to the reduction of approximately 480 employees. In addition to severance, $0.7 million in charges was recognized for asset impairments. The asset impairments pertain to production and distribution assets written down as a result of the decision to move certain manufacturing activities to lower cost countries and the closure of several small distribution centers. Facility closure costs totaled $0.1 million. Of the amounts charged in the first quarter, $2.0 million has been utilized to date, with $7.1 million of reserves remaining as of April 4, 2009. Of the charges recognized in the first quarter of 2009: $4.2 million pertains to the Security segment, $1.6 million to the Industrial segment; $2.9 million to the CDIY segment; and $0.4 million to non-operating entities.
Pre-2009 Actions:  During 2008, asidethe Company initiated cost reduction initiatives in order to maintain its cost competitiveness. A large portion of these actions were initiated in the fourth quarter as the Company responded to deteriorating business conditions resulting from the U.S. economic weakness and slowing global demand, primarily in its CDIY and Industrial segments. Severance charges of $70.0 million were recorded relating to the reduction of approximately 2,700 employees. In addition to severance, $13.6 million in charges were recognized pertaining to asset impairments for production assets and real estate, and $0.7 million for facility closure costs. Of the $85.5 million full year 2008 restructuring and asset impairment charges, $13.8 million, $29.7 million, $35.6 million, and $6.4 million pertained to the Security, Industrial, CDIY, and Non-operating segments, respectively. Also, $1.2 million in other charges stemmed from the termination of service contracts. During 2007, the Company also initiated $11.8 million of cost reduction actions in various businesses entailing severance for 525 employees and the exit of a leased facility. As of January 3, 2009 the reserve balance related to these prior actions totaled $55.3 million. The amount utilized in the first quarter of 2009 totaled $9.9 million. The remaining reserve balance of $44.3 million predominantly relates to actions in Europe under review with the European Works Council process.

Acquisition Related:  During the first quarter of 2009, $2.4 million of reserves were established for an acquisition closed in the latter half of 2008 related to the consolidation of security monitoring call centers. Of this amount $0.8 million was for the severance of approximately 90 employees and $1.6 million related to the closure of a branch facility, primarily from remaining lease obligations. The Company utilized $1.0 million of the restructuring reserves during the first quarter of 2009 established for previous acquisitions and as of April 4, 2009, $13.7 million in acquisition-related accruals remain. The remaining balance primarily relates to approximately $7 million pertaining to thefor Facom acquisition for which the timing of payments depends upon the actions of certain European governmental agencies.

In May 2008, the Company’s commercial paper program was also increased to $800 million. The credit facility continues to be designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company’s commercial paper program. The amended and restated facility expires in February 2013.2009.
 
K.G.  Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. As part of the Company’s risk management program, it uses a variety of financial instruments such as interest rate swap and currency swap agreements, purchased currency options and foreign exchange contracts to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency exposure. Generally, commodity price exposures are not hedged with derivative financial instruments and instead are actively managed through customer pricing initiatives, procurement-driven cost reduction initiatives and other productivity improvement projects. Financial instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes. If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (SFAS 133), management designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges.
A summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivatives recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows (in millions):

    $24.0  $31.3    $14.0  $33.5 
                     
The counterparties to all of the above mentioned financial instruments are major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for net exchanges under these agreements, but not for the notional amounts. The risk is limited to the asset amounts noted above. The Company limits its exposure and concentration of risk by diversifying financial institutions and does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. Further, as more fully discussed in Note M Fair Value Measurements, the Company considers non-performance risk of its counterparties at each reporting


12


period and adjusts the carrying value of these assets accordingly. The risk of default is considered remote.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
For derivative instruments that are so designated at inception and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of Shareowners’ Equity, and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss, if any, is immediately recognized in the same caption where the hedged items are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, generallyOther-net. The Company measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. For interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the Company measures the hedge effectiveness by offsetting the change in the variable portion of the interest rate swap with the change in the expected interest flows due to fluctuations in the LIBOR based interest rate.
There is a $3.2 million and $4.8 million after-tax gain reported for cash flow hedge effectiveness in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of April 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively. Of this amount $2.3 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings as the hedged transactions occur or as amounts are amortized within the next 12 months. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of the hedged currencies through the maturity dates. The table below details pre-tax amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings; due to the effectiveness of these instruments in matching the underlying on a net basis there was no significant earnings impact.

The impact of de-designated hedges was a pre-tax gain of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. The hedged items impact to the income statement for the first quarter of 2009 was a loss of $2.9 million to Cost of sales and a loss of $6.4 million to Other-net. There was no impact related to the interest rate contracts hedged items.
Interest Rate Contracts
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed-rate debt proportions. At April 4, 2009, the Company has outstanding contracts fixing the interest rate on its $320.0 million floating rate convertible notes (LIBOR less 350 basis points) at 1.43%.
Foreign Currency Contracts
Forward contracts:  Through its global businesses, the Company enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies that give rise to foreign currency risk. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly purchase inventory from itsnon-United States dollar subsidiaries that creates volatility in the Company’s results of operations. The Company utilizes forward contracts to


13


hedge these forecasted purchases of inventory. Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income for the effective and ineffective portions of the hedge as well as any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded to Cost of sales. As of April 4, 2009 the notional values of the hedge contracts is as follows (includes $36.7 million which is de-designated):

Total forward contracts $69.0     
         
Currency swaps:  The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various inter-company transactions whereby the notional values are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the party executing the trade. In order to better match the cash flows of its inter-company obligations with cash flows from operations, the Company enters into currency swaps. The notional value of the United States dollar exposure and the related hedge contracts outstanding as of April 4, 2009 is $150.0 million.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES
For derivative instruments that are so designated at inception and qualify as fair value hedges, the Company records the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument as well as the hedged item in the income statement within the same caption. The Company measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedged contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates.
Interest Rate Risk
In an effort to continue to optimize the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt in the Company’s capital structure, in May 2008the Company enters into interest rate swaps. In January 2009, the Company entered into a $200 million interest rate swap.swaps with notional values which equaled the Company’s $200.0 million 4.9% notes due 2012 and $250.0 million 6.15% notes due 2013. The swap matures November 2012, matching the maturity of the outstanding 4.9%, $200 million Note. On the interest rate swap,swaps effectively converted the Company will pay aCompany’s fixed rate debt to floating rate of interest and will receive a fixed rate of interest equal todebt based on LIBOR, thereby hedging the fixed rate payable on the Note. The swap hedges the fluctuationsfluctuation in the fair value resulting from changes in interest rates. At September 27, 2008,A summary of the fair value adjustments relating to these swaps for the first quarter of this2009 are as follows (in millions):

In addition to the amounts in the table above, the net swap settlements that occur each period and amortization of terminated swaps are also reported in interest rate swapexpense, and amounted to a $3.0 million gain for the first quarter of 2009. Interest expense for the period was $6.4 million on the underlying debt.
NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company utilizes net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from remeasurement of its investment in the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated at inception and qualify as net investment hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedged contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. The total after-tax amount in Accumulated other comprehensive income was a loss of $1.2 million. This amount is recorded$2.4 million and $6.6 million at April 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively. In December 2008 the Company entered into a foreign exchange contract to hedge its net investment in Long-term debteuro assets, as detailed in the Consolidated Balance Sheetpre-tax amounts below (in millions).

UNDESIGNATED HEDGES
Foreign Exchange Contracts
Currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are used to recognizereduce exchange risks arising from the change in the fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (i.e. affiliate loans, payables, receivables). The objective of these practices is to minimize the long-term debt andimpact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results.

L.H.  Commitments and ContingenciesEquity Option
In January 2009, the Company purchased from financial institutions over the counter15-month capped call options on 3 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate premium of $16.4 million, or an average of $5.47 per option. In accordance withEITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” the premium paid was recorded as a reduction to equity. The gain or loss on the option will depend on the actual market price of the Company’s stock on exercise dates which occur in March 2010. The contracts for each of the three series of options generally provide that the options may, at the Company’s election, be cash settled, physically settled or net-share settled (the default settlement method). Each series of options has various expiration dates within the month of March 2010. The options will be automatically exercised if the market price of the Company’s common stock on the relevant expiration date is greater than the applicable lower strike price (i.e. the options are “in-the-money”). If the market price of the Company’s common stock at the expiration date is below the applicable lower strike price, the relevant options will expire with no value. If the market price of the Company’s common stock on the relevant expiration date is between the applicable lower and upper strike prices, the value per option to the Company will be the then-current market price less that lower strike price. If the market price of the Company’s common stock is above the applicable upper strike price, the value per option to the Company will be the difference between the applicable upper strike price and lower strike price. The aggregate fair value of the options at April 4, 2009 was $13.9 million.

I.  Convertible Notes
FSP APB14-1 applies to the Company’s $320.0 million in outstanding convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) that were issued on March 20, 2007 and are due May 17, 2012. At maturity, the Company is obligated to repay the principal in cash, and may elect to settle the conversion option value, if any, as detailed further below, in either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of3-month LIBOR minus 3.5%, reset quarterly (but never less than zero), and initially set at 1.85%. Interest is payable quarterly commencing August 17, 2007. At the March 20, 2007 issuance date the estimated market rate of interest for the Convertible Notes would have been 5.13% (the non-convertible or “straight-debt” borrowing rate) without the conversion option feature. The FSP requires the Company to record non-cash interest accretion to reflect the straight-debt borrowing rate on the Convertible Notes and to recast prior periods for comparability. The Convertible Notes are unsecured general obligations and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Convertible Notes were issued as a component of the Company’s Equity Units and are pledged as collateral to secure the holders’ obligations to purchase common stock under the terms of the Equity Purchase Contract component of these units, as described more fully in Note I Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements in the Company’s 2008Form 10-K.
The Company is obligated to remarket the Convertible Notes commencing on May 10, 2010 to the extent that holders of the Convertible Note element of an Equity Unit or holders of separate Convertible Notes elect to participate in the remarketing. Holders of Equity Units may elect to have the Convertible Note element of their units not participate in the remarketing by the following means: create a Treasury Unit (replace the Convertible Notes with zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities as collateral to secure their performance under the Equity Purchase Contracts); settle the Equity Purchase Contracts early; or settle the Equity Purchase Contracts in cash prior to May 7, 2010. Upon a successful


16


remarketing of the Convertible Notes, the proceeds will be utilized to satisfy in full the Equity Unit holders’ obligations to purchase the applicable amount of the Company’s common stock under the Equity Purchase Contracts on May 17, 2010. In the event the remarketing of the Convertible Notes is not successful, the holders may elect to pay cash or to deliver the Convertible Notes to the Company as consideration to satisfy their obligation to purchase common shares under the Equity Purchase Contract.
The conversion premium for the Convertible Notes is 19.0%, equivalent to the initial conversion price of $64.80 based on the $54.45 value of the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance. Upon conversion on May 17, 2012 (or in respect of a cash merger event), the Company will deliver to each holder of the Convertible Notes $1,000 cash for the principal amount of each note. Additionally at conversion, to the extent, if any, that the conversion option is “in the money”, the Company will deliver, at its election, either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 15.4332 shares (equivalent to the initial conversion price set at $64.80) and the applicable market value of the Company’s common stock. The ultimate conversion rate may be increased above 15.4332 shares in accordance with standard anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Convertible Notes or in the event of a cash merger. For example, an increase in the ultimate conversion rate will apply if the Company increases the per share common stock dividend rate during the five year term of the Convertible Notes; accordingly such changes to the conversion rate are within the Company’s control under its discretion regarding distributions it may make and dividends it may declare. Also, the holders may elect to accelerate conversion, and “make whole” adjustments to the conversion rate may apply, in the event of a cash merger or “fundamental change”. Subject to the foregoing, if the market value of the Company’s common shares is below the conversion price at conversion, (initially set at a rate equating to $64.80 per share), the conversion option would be “out of the money” and the Company would have no obligation to deliver any consideration beyond the $1,000 principal payment required under each of the Convertible Notes. To the extent, if any, that the conversion option of the Convertible Notes becomes “in the money” in any interim period prior to conversion, there will be a related increase in diluted shares outstanding utilized in the determination of the Company’s diluted earnings per share in accordance with the treasury stock method prescribed by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. At April 4, 2009, the conversion option is out of the money and accordingly the Company does not have any obligation beyond the $320.0 million of outstanding convertible notes.
The principal amount of the Convertible Notes was $320.0 million at both April 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009. The net carrying value and unamortized discount of the Convertible Notes was $286.8 million and $33.2 million, respectively, at April 4, 2009 and $284.3 million and $35.7 million, respectively, at January 3, 2009. The remaining unamortized balance will be recorded to interest expense through the Convertible Notes maturity in May 2012. The equity component carrying value was $32.9 million at both balance sheet dates.
No interest expense was recorded for the contractual interest coupon on the Convertible Notes for the periods presented because it would be less than a zero interest rate based upon the applicable3-month LIBOR minus 3.5% rate in these periods. The Company has outstanding derivative contracts fixing the interest rate on the $320.0 million floating rate Convertible Notes(3-month LIBOR less 350 basis points) at 1.43% and recognized $1.2 million of interest expense pertaining to these interest rate swaps in each of the three month periods ending April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008. The non-cash interest expense accretion related to the amortization of the liability balance as required under the FSP totaled $2.5 million for both the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2008. The interest expense recognized on the $320.0 million of Convertible Notes reflecting both the fixed interest rate swaps and the interest accretion required under the FSP represented an effective interest rate of 5.1% for the first quarter of 2009 and 5.2% for the first quarter of 2008.
In order to offset the common shares that may be deliverable pertaining to the previously discussed conversion option feature of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into Bond Hedges with certain major financial institutions. The Company paid the financial institutions a premium of $49.3 million for the Bond Hedge which was recorded, net of $14.0 million of anticipated tax benefits,


17


as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity. The terms of the Bond Hedge mirror those of the conversion option feature of the Convertible Notes such that the financial institutions may be required to deliver shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company upon conversion at its exercise in May 2012. To the extent, if any, that the conversion option feature becomes “in the money” during the five year term of the Convertible Notes, diluted shares outstanding will increase accordingly. Because the Bond Hedge is anti-dilutive, it will not be included in any diluted shares outstanding computation prior to its maturity. However, at maturity of the Convertible Notes and the Bond Hedge in 2012, the aggregate effect of these instruments is that there will be no net increase in the Company’s common shares.
J. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability and workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial condition taken as a whole.
 
The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 27, 2008April 4, 2009 and December 29, 2007,January 3, 2009, the Company had reserves of $29.3$28.4 million and $30.1$28.8 million, respectively, primarily for remediation activities associated with company-owned properties as well as for Superfund sites. The range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $19.5$18.9 million to $52.5$52.0 million which is subject to change in the near term.
 
As of September 27, 2008 the Company has commitments to purchase Générale de Protection (“GdP”) and Scan Modul for approximately $166 million and $20 million in cash, respectively. Both acquisitions closed on October 1 as disclosed in Note Q. Subsequent Events.

The Company has guaranteed a portion of the residual value arising from its synthetic lease and U.S. master personal property lease programs. The lease guarantees aggregate $80.5$53.8 million while the fair value of the underlying assets is estimated at $96.9$63.7 million. The related assets would be available to satisfy the guarantee obligations and therefore it is unlikely the Company will incur any future loss associated with these lease guarantees. The Company has recorded $19.2 million in debt pertaining to one of these synthetic leases. The Company has issued $35.1 million in standby letters of credit that guarantee future payments which may be required under certain insurance programs. The Company provides various limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that provide financing to U.S. and Canadian Mac Tool distributors for their initial purchase of the inventory and truck necessary to function as a distributor. In addition, the Company provides alimited and full recourse guaranteeguarantees to a financial institutioninstitutions that extendsextend credit to certain end retail customers of its U.S. Mac Tool distributors. The gross amount guaranteed in these arrangements is $17.7$15.0 million and the $15.3$13.6 million carrying value of the guarantees issued is recorded in debt and other liabilities as appropriate in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
The Company provides product and service warranties which vary across its businesses. The types of warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime, while certain products carry no warranty or customer service considerations.warranty. Further, the Company at times incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection

O.M.  Fair Value Measurements
 
SFAS 157 defines, fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. SFAS 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1  Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
Level 2  Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.
 
Level 3  Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.
 
The Company holds various derivative financial instruments that are employed to manage risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures. These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are included within the scope of SFAS 157. The Company determines the fair value of derivatives through the use of matrix or model pricing, which utilizesutilize verifiable inputs such as market interest and currency rates. When determining the fair value of these financial instruments for which Level 1 evidence does not exist, the Company considers various factors including the following: exchange or

market price quotations of similar instruments, time value and volatility factors, the Company’s own credit rating and the credit rating of the counter-party.

The Company recorded $0.7 million in restructuring related asset impairments during the first quarter, as discussed in Note F Restructuring. Fair value for impaired production assets was based on the present value of discounted cash flows. This included an estimate for future cash flows as production activities are phased out as well as auction values (prices for similar assets) for assets where use has been discontinued or future cash flows are minimal. The assumptions represented Level 3 inputs.

OVERVIEW
 
The Company is a diversified worldwide supplier of tools and engineered solutions for professional, industrial, construction, and do-it-yourself (“DIY”) use, as well as engineered solutions and security solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Its operations are classified into three business segments: Security, Industrial and Construction & DIY (“CDIY”), Industrial and Security. The CDIY segment manufactures and markets hand tools, storage systems, and fasteners, as these products are principally utilized in construction and do-it-yourself projects. These products are sold primarily to professional end users and distributed through retailers (including home centers, mass merchants, hardware stores, and retail lumber yards). The Industrial segment manufactures and markets professional mechanics tools and storage systems, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and roofing tools, assembly tools and systems, hydraulic tools and specialty tools (Stanley supply and services). These products are sold to industrial customers and distributed primarily through third party distributors as well as direct sales forces. The Security segment is a provider of access and security solutions primarily for retailers, educational, financial and healthcare institutions, as well as commercial, governmental and industrial customers. The Company provides an extensive suite of mechanical and electronic security products and systems, and a variety of security services. These include security integration systems, software, related installation, maintenance, and a variety of security services including security monitoring services, electronic integration systems, software, related installation and maintenance services,healthcare solutions, automatic doors, door closers, exit devices, hardware and locking mechanisms. Security products are sold primarily on a direct sales basis and in certain instances, through third party distributors. The Industrial segment manufactures and markets: professional industrial and automotive mechanics tools and storage systems; assembly tools and systems; plumbing, heating and air conditioning tools; hydraulic tools and accessories; and specialty tools. These products are sold to industrial customers and distributed primarily through third party distributors as well as direct sales forces. The CDIY segment manufactures and markets hand tools, consumer mechanics tools, storage systems, pneumatic tools and fastener products which are principally utilized in construction and do-it-yourself projects. These products are sold primarily to professional end users as well as consumers, and are distributed through retailers (including home centers, mass merchants, hardware stores, and retail lumber yards).
 
ForOver the past several years, the Company has generated strong free cash flow and received substantial proceeds from divestitures that enabled a transformation of the business portfolio. Beginning with the first significant security acquisitions in 2002, Stanley has consummated $2.8 billion in acquisitions and pursued a diversification strategy to enable profitable growth. The strategy involves industry, geographic and customer diversification, as exemplified by the expansion of security solution product offerings, the growing proportion of sales outside the U.S., and the deliberate reduction of the Company’s dependence on sales to U.S. home centers and mass merchants. ExecutionSales outside the U.S. represented 41% of this strategy has entailedthe total in 2009, up from 29% in 2002. Sales to U.S. home centers and mass merchants have declined from a high point of approximately $2.5 billion40% in 2002 to 14% in 2009. The reallocation of capital to higher growth businesses and attendant diversification of the revenue base helped position Stanley to weather the current challenging economic times. In the near term, management will concentrate primarily on debt reduction, driving operating efficiencies through the Stanley Fulfillment System disciplines, and the integration of acquisitions sinceto achieve further synergies. Management continues to monitor markets for attractive acquisition targets. In the beginning of 2002, several divestitures, and increased brand investments. Additionally,medium term the strategy reflects management’s visionCompany intends to build apursue further growth platformopportunities in security solutions, industrial tools, healthcare markets and emerging markets while expandingmaintaining focus on the valuable branded tools platform. Over the past several years, the Company has generated strong free cash flow and received substantial proceeds from divestitures that enabled a transformation of the business portfolio.storage businesses.

First Quarter 2009 Cost Actions and Outlook
The global economic downturn deepened during the first quarter as evidenced by a 19% decline in sales unit volumes versus the prior year. A contingency cost reduction plan was developed early in the year to protect earnings and cash flow in the event estimated full year 2009 volume declines were greater than10-12%. Management elected to implement this plan as the quarter progressed and projections evolved to indicate that full year sales volume declines were more likely to be between13-15%, with smaller volume declines in the back half of the year as comparisons become easier.

Key developmentsThe Company estimates that full year diluted earnings per share will be in 2008 pursuantthe range of $2.00 to this diversification and profitable growth strategy include$2.50 based on the following.following assumptions:
 
•    In JulyDiluted earnings per share are expected to decrease within the range of $2.40 — $2.90 compared to 2008 stemming from the Company completed the sale of the CST/berger laser leveling and measuring business for $204 million in cash. The transaction generated a pre-tax book gain of $128 million, and $152 million in net after-tax cash proceeds. CST/berger had 2007 revenues of $80 million. The Company also announced plans to exit several other small, non-strategic businesses with approximately $50 million in annual revenues. As a result, CST/berger, along with two other small businesses, is reported in discontinued operations and prior periods have been recast for comparability.13-15% sales volume decline mentioned previously
 
•    On July 18, 2008,With the U.S. dollar at present exchange levels, the Company completedexpects revenues for the acquisitionsyear will decline 4% from unfavorable translation. Continued weakness of Sonitrol Corporation (“Sonitrol”), for $281 million in cash, and Xmark Corporation (“Xmark”), for $47 million in cash. Sonitrol, with annual revenue totaling approximately $110 million, provides security monitoring services, access control and fire detection systemsforeign currencies relative to commercial customers in North America via two monitoring centers and a national multi-channel distribution network. Sonitrolthe dollar at present levels will complement the product offeringengender an estimated $.50 per diluted share earnings decrease versus 2008 due to currency, most of the pre-existing security integration and monitoring businesses, including HSM acquired in early 2007. Xmark, headquartered in Canada, markets and sells radio frequency identification (“RFID”)-based systems used to identify, locate and protect people and assets. Xmark annual revenues exceed $30 million and itwhich will enhance the Company’s personal security business. Both acquisitions are reported in the Security segment.occur by mid-year.
 
•    On October 1,Acquisitions completed in 2008 (inare expected to provide approximately $0.10 per diluted share earnings accretion in 2009.
•    The cost reduction plan initiated in the fiscal fourth quarter), the Company completed the acquisition of Générale de Protection (“GdP”) for $166 million (118 million euros) in cash. GdP, headquartered in Vitrolles, France, is a leading provider of audio and video security monitoring services, primarily for small and mid-sized businesses located in France and Belgium. GdP, with 2007 revenues totaling approximately $87 million (64 million euros) represents Stanley���s first significant expansion of its electronic security platform in continental Europe. GdPquarter is expected to have no effect on 2008 earnings from continuing operations and have a modest accretive impactgenerate annual savings of $100 million, an estimated $45 million of which will be realized in 2009. The Company plans to reinvest approximately $15 million of the $45 million in current year savings from the 2009 plan to fund investments in brand development and Security organic growth initiatives. The brand development entails expanded advertising in major league U.S. baseball stadiums as well as NASCAR racing sponsorships. The 2009 restructuring program, net of the previously mentioned brand and growth investments, will provide an estimated $.28 benefit per diluted share in 2009. The diluted earnings per share benefit from the 2008 actions will approximate $1.75 in 2009. The 2008 restructuring actions reflect necessary cost cutting to align with lower sales and are supplemented by the 2009 actions which are designed to improve the effectiveness of the organization as well as promote efficiency. Fastening systems will be consolidated with the consumer tools and storage business. These CDIY segment businesses have significant channel and customer overlap so the combination will leverage resources and enable more efficient operations.
•    Restructuring and related charges for the above mentioned programs are projected to total approximately $35 million in 2009, with an additional $10 million in carryover charges from the 2008 actions to be recognized later in 2009, primarily pertaining to headcount reductions in Europe which are pending regulatory processes. As a result, the Company expects 2009 pre-tax restructuring and related charges will total approximately $45 million, of which $10 million was recognized in the first quarter, while most of the remaining charges will be recorded in the second and third quarters.
The diluted per share carryover savings from both cost reduction programs in 2010 will be partially offset by a number of factors including cost pressures and increased share count. Management believes the cost reduction and other strategic actions taken will position Stanley well for future growth.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Below is a summary of consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ending September 27, 2008,April 4, 2009, followed by an overview of performance by business segment. The terms “organic” and “core” are utilized to describe results aside from the impact of acquisitions during their initial 12 months of ownership. This ensures appropriate comparability to operating results in the prior period.
 
Net Sales:  Net sales from continuing operations were $1.120$913 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $1.071 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008, as compared to $1.106 billion in the third quarterrepresenting a decrease of 2007, representing an increase of $14$158 million or 1%15%. Acquisitions, primarily Sonitrol and Xmark,Générale de Protection (“GdP”) in the Security segment, contributed 3% ofa 7% increase in net sales. ForeignOrganic sales volume declined 19% and unfavorable foreign currency translation generated a 2% increase in sales, as most major currencies in all regions strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar compared to prior year, but weakened versus levels in the second quarter of 2008. Aside from acquisitions and currency,impacted sales declined 4% attributable to a 7% unit volume declineby 6%, which was offset partially by favorable pricing of 3%. Nearly 2% of the unit volume decline pertained to the previously disclosed loss of a major customer in the hardware business within the security segment (this impact will anniversary in the fourth quarter of 2008). Approximately half of the total unit volume decline occurred in the CDIY segment, as North America continued to be adversely impacted by the contraction in residential construction markets while demand in other regions, particularly Europe, further softened in the third quarter. The remaining unit volume decline was predominantly in the industrial segment, most significantly in the North American automotive repair business reflecting the deepening U.S. economic downturn. The European economy also weakened in the third quarter unfavorably affecting all of the Company’s industrial segment businesses. This was partially offset by growth3% of favorable customer pricing. There were double digit percentage sales volume declines in the U.S. engineeredAmericas, Europe and Asia arising from global economic weakness, with Europe, down 24%, posting the most severe volume decrease. The Industrial segment, with its European-based Facom business, had the most significant decline of the three segments with a 27% drop in sales volume which was exacerbated by distributor inventory corrections associated with credit market pressures. The CDIY segment unit volume sales declined 22% as both the fastening systems and consumer tools and storage and hydraulic tool businesses.businesses struggled in

The Security segment continued to buttress the Company’s overall performance with relatively modest organic sales from continuing operations were $3.348 billion in 2008, a $108 million or 3% increase, versus $3.240 billion for the first nine months of 2007. Acquisition growth contributed 2% of the increase, attributable to Sonitrol, Xmark, and several small security segment acquisitions. Foreign currency provided a 4% increase, pricing 3%, while volume decreased 5% compared to the prior year. The businesses contributing to the first nine months sales performance are mainly the same as those discussed above pertaining to the third quarter. However in the first six months of 2008, Europe achieved healthy growth which subsided in the third quarter.declines by comparison.
 
Gross Profit:  Gross profit from continuing operations was $431$361 million, or 38.5%39.6% of net sales, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008, as2009, compared with $422to $406 million, of gross profit, or 38.1%37.9% of net sales, in the prior year. The lower gross profit amount pertained to the previously discussed widespread sales volume decline. Acquisitions, primarily Sonitrol and GdP, generated $40 million in gross profit and contributed $19 million to gross profit. Corethe strong gross margin represented 38.1% of sales consistent with the prior year as the favorable impacts of customer price increases and productivity were offset primarily by cost inflation and lower unit volumes.rate expansion. The pace of energy and commodity cost inflation, particularly steel, which accelerated dramatically this summer, stabilized to some extent later170 basis point improvement in the third quarter. As a result, the Company’s estimate of full year 2008 inflation remains at approximately $150 million, which management plans to partially mitigate through variousgross margin rate was further enabled by overall customer pricing actions that are expectedlagged cost inflation as well as strong performance in the Security segment, particularly by the U.S. mechanical lock and electronic security integration businesses. Additionally, the cost actions taken to recover nearly 90% of this impact.
On ayear-to-date basis, gross profit from continuing operations was $1.279 billion, or 38.2% of net sales, in 2008, comparedadjust to $1.230 billion, or 38.0% of net sales, for the corresponding 2007 period. The increase in gross profit was attributable to acquisitions, primarily Sonitrol and Xmark. The factors affecting theyear-to-date performance are the same as those discussed pertaining to the third quarter. Successful execution of productivity projects and customer pricing increases collectively more than offset nearly $100 million ofyear-to-date cost inflation.slow demand helped cushion margin rate pressure.
 
SG&A expenses:  Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) expenses from continuing operations, inclusive of the provision for doubtful accounts, were $275was $253 million, or 24.6%27.7% of net sales, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008,2009, compared to $252$275 million, or 22.8%25.6% of net sales, in the prior year.

Acquisitions contributed $11 million and $22 million of the SG&A increasedeclined $45 million from the prior year. The Company implemented headcount reductions and various cost containment actions such as temporarily suspending certain U.S. retirement benefits in the quarter,2009 andyear-to-date, respectively. The remaining increase in SG&A primarily reflects foreign sharply curtailing travel and other discretionary spending. There was also some reduction from variable selling and other costs as well as favorable currency impact, inflation and strategic investments in emerging markets, offset partially by cost reduction actions.translation.
 
Interest andOther-net:  Net interest expense from continuing operations in the third quarterfirst three months of 20082009 was $18$16 million compared to $20$21 million in 2007.the first three months of 2008. The decrease is primarily duerelated to repayment of $150 million of debt that matured in November 2007 as well as increasedlower interest income earnedrates on higher foreign cash balancesshort-term borrowings in the current year. Additionally, the Company entered into interest rate swaps on certain term debt which reduced the effective interest rate.
Year-to-dateOther-net net interest expense from continuing operations was $55amounted to $30 million in the first quarter of 2009 versus $20 million in 2008, comparedprimarily due to $61 million over the first nine months of 2007. The reduction pertained to the same factors discussed in relation to the third quarter. Additionally, interest expense related to commercial paper declined as a result of lower borrowing costs in the current year.
Other-net expenses from continuing operations were $29 million in the third quarter of 2008 versus $25 million in 2007. Higherincreased intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition deal costs required to be expensed from the Sonitrol and Xmark acquisitions was the primary driveradoption of this increase.Year-to-dateother-net expenses from continuing operations were $70 millionSFAS 141R in 2008, relatively consistent with $68 million in 2007.January 2009.
 
Income Taxes:  The Company’s effective income tax rate fromon continuing operations was 25.0%26.0% in the thirdfirst quarter of this year, comparedconsistent with 26.9%26.2% in the prior year’s quarter. Theyear-to-date effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 25.9% in 2008 versus 26.4% in 2007.
