NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments comprising normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 (“Quarterly Report”) are presented as permitted by Regulation S-X and do not contain certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20062007 (“20062007 Annual Report”).
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Income Taxes, Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves
As of January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Other Accounting Policies
Other significantSignificant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, are detailed in Note 1 of our 20062007 Annual Report.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In FebruarySeptember 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 155 improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments and simplifies the accounting for these instruments. In particular, SFAS No. 155:
permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;
clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133;
establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;
clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and
amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

5


SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of SFAS No. 155 effective January 1, 2007 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or a servicing liability, requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value and permits an entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability to choose either the amortization method or fair value method for subsequent measurement. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of SFAS No. 156 effective January 1, 2007 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” EITF No. 06-03 requires that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies.” In addition, if any of such taxes are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose, on an aggregated basis, the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. EITF Issue No. 06-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2006. As we have historically presented such taxes on a net basis within our results of operations, our adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-03 effective January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN No. 48 is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the enterprise determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations of adopting FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007 is presented in Note 12.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are still evaluatingIn February 2008, the impactFASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which amends SFAS No. 157 by delaying the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157, as amended, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition andor results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 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. It provides entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired, and expands disclosures about business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to recognize changes in valuation allowances on acquired deferred tax assets to be recognized in operations. These changes in deferred tax benefits were previously recognized through a corresponding reduction to goodwill. With the exception of the provisions regarding acquired deferred taxes, which are applicable to all business combinations, SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159141(R) on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require:
The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity.
The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.
Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.
When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value.
Entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.
SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. SFAS No. 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 enhances the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” by requiring entities to provide detailed disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Although there are no other final pronouncements recently issued that we have not adopted and that we expect to impact reported financial information or disclosures, accounting promulgating bodies have a number of pending projects that may directly impact us. We continue to evaluate the status of these projects and as these projects become final, we will provide disclosures regarding the likelihood and magnitude of their impact, if any.
2. Acquisition
Flowserve Pump Division acquired the remaining 50% interest in Niigata Worthington Company, Ltd. (“Niigata”), a Japanese manufacturer of pumps and other rotating equipment, effective March 1, 2008, for $2.4 million in cash. The incremental interest acquired was accounted for as a step acquisition and Niigata’s results of operations have been consolidated since the date of acquisition. Prior to this transaction, our 50% interest in Niigata was recorded using the equity method of accounting. As a result of consolidation upon acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Niigata, our balance sheet reflects an increase in cash and debt of $5.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on initial estimates of fair values at the date of the acquisition. We continue to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation, which will be adjusted as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities becomes available. The initial estimate of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the cash paid and, accordingly, no goodwill was recognized. This acquisition was accounted for as a bargain purchase, resulting in a gain of $3.4 million, which is included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of income due to immateriality. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

2. Discontinued Operations
General Services Group — During the first quarter of 2005 we committed to a plan to divest certain non-core service operations, collectively called the General Services Group (“GSG”). On December 31, 2005, we sold GSG to Furmanite, a unit of Dallas-based Xanser Corporation for a contingent sales price of $15.5 million in gross cash proceeds, including $2.0 million held in escrow pending final settlement and excluding approximately $12 million of net accounts receivable. Utilizing the $15.5 million contingent sales price, the sale resulted in a loss of $2.5 million ($3.8 million pre-tax), which we recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, we recognized $0.8 million ($1.1 million pre-tax) of reduction in the loss after an independent arbitrator issued a binding decision with respect to the valuation of inventory, which resolved one element of the contingent sales price. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we negotiated the final sales price of $17.1 million, whereby we recognized an additional reduction in the loss on sale of $0.2 million ($0.5 million pre-tax), bringing the aggregate loss on sale recognized in 2006 and 2005 to $1.5 million ($2.2 million pre-tax). All remaining amounts due to us under the terms of the sale were collected in December 2006.
We used $10.9 million of the initial net cash proceeds to reduce our indebtedness in January 2006, and an additional $3.5 million in December 2006 using the final proceeds collected pursuant to this sale transaction. As a result of this sale, we have presented the results of operations of GSG and the impact of subsequent sales price adjustments as discontinued operations.
3. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Our stock-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards, and is accounted for under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” Under this method, we recorded stock-based compensation as follows:

No options were granted during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 or 2007. The weighted average fair value per share of options granted was $26.71 and $24.90 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007 and 2006 was $2.6$2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $5.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The fair value of each option award iswas estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we had $2.5$1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding unvested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximatelyless than 1 year. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $5.6$16.9 million and $21.5$8.8 million, respectively. No options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as we were in a black-out period due to our then non-current status of filings with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Restricted Stock —Awards of restricted stock are valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock. We have unearned compensation of $31.3$47.8 million and $15.0$25.9 million at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years. These amounts will be recognized into net earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of restricted shares and units vested during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007 and 2006 was $3.4$9.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares and units vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $10.9 million and $3.6$6.3 million, respectively.

Unvested restricted stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, includes 362,000300,000 shares granted with performance-based vesting provisions that range from 0% to 200% based on pre-defined performance targets.provisions. Performance-based restricted stock is earnedvests upon the achievement of performance targets, and is issuable in common shares. Our performance targets are based on our average annual return on net assets over a rolling three-year period as compared with the same measure for a defined peer group for the same period. Compensation expense is recognized over a 36-month cliff vesting period based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. During the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the performance targets.
Modifications— On June 1, 2005, Vesting provisions range from 0 to 600,000 shares based on pre-defined performance targets. As of March 31, 2008, we took action to extend to December 31, 2006, the regular termestimate vesting of certain options granted to employees, including executive officers, qualified retirees and directors, which were scheduled to expire in 2005. On November 4, 2005, we took subsequent action to further extend the exercise date480,000 shares based on expected achievement of these options, and options expiring in 2006, to January 1, 2009. We thereafter concluded, however, that recent regulatory guidance issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code might cause the recipients of these extended options to become subject to unintended adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. Accordingly, effective December 14, 2005, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors partially rescinded, in accordance with the regulations, the extensions of the regular term of these options, to provide as follows:
(i) the regular term of options otherwise expiring in 2005 expired on October 29, 2006, and
(ii) the regular term of options otherwise expiring in 2006 expired on the later of:
(1)75 days after the regular term of the option as originally granted expires, or
(2)December 31, 2006.
These extensions were subject to shareholder approval of applicable plan amendments, which was obtained at our annual shareholders’ meeting held on August 24, 2006. The approval of such plan amendments was considered a stock modification for financial reporting purposes subject to the recognition of a non-cash compensation charge in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), and we recorded a charge of $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2006.performance targets.

4. Derivative Instruments and Hedges
We enter into forward exchange contracts to manage our risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the transaction. Our risk management and derivatives policy specifies the conditions under which we may enter into derivative contracts. At September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, we had $380.9$498.0 million and $433.7$464.9 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding forward exchange contracts with third parties. At September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the length of forward exchange contracts currently in place ranged from 1 day to 1933 months.
The fair market value adjustments of our forward exchange contracts are recognized directly in our current period earnings. The fair value of these outstanding forward contracts at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 20062007 was a net asset of $7.7$15.3 million and $3.4$6.6 million, respectively. Net gains (loss) from the changes in the fair value of these forward exchange contracts of $3.5$17.9 million and $(3.5)$0.3 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $5.1 million and $2.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in other income (expense), net in ourthe condensed consolidated statements of income. The significant weakening of the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar exchange rate versus the Euro during the three months ended March 31, 2008 is the primary driver of the increase in net gains from the changes in fair value of forward exchange contracts.
Also as part of our risk management program, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. At September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, we had $415.0$375.0 million and $435.0$395.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties. At September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate contract in place was approximately 3630 months. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $1.0$9.4 million and a net asset of $1.9$4.1 million at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, respectively. Unrealized net gains (loss)losses from the changes in fair value of our interest rate swap agreements, net of reclassifications, of $2.0$3.3 million and $(1.8)$0.7 million, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $1.9 million and $0.4 million, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in other comprehensive income (loss)(expense).
During 2004, we entered into a compound derivative contract to hedge exposure to both currency translation and interest rate risks associated with our European Investment Bank credit facility. The notional amount of the derivative was $85.0 million, and it served to convert floating rate interest rate risk to a fixed rate, as well as United States (“U.S.”) dollar currency risk to Euros. As described more fully in our 2006 Annual Report, we repaid all amounts outstanding under this facility on December 15, 2006 and settled the derivative. The unrealized gain (loss) on the derivative and the foreign transaction gain on the underlying loan aggregated to $(0.8) million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2006, and is included in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.
5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments, shown below, are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied.
Beginning January 1, 2008, assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels, as defined by SFAS No. 157 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
Level I — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level III — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
An asset or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.

Total liabilities $18,447  $  $14,494  $3,953 
             
Our Level III inputs are assets and liabilities related to investments and deferred compensation arrangements. When quoted market prices are unavailable, varying valuation techniques are used that reflect our best estimates of the assumptions used by market participants. Common inputs in valuing these assets include securities trade prices, recently reported trades or broker quotes. The value of all Level III assets was $8.3 million and $9.9 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The value of all Level III liabilities was $4.0 million and $4.4 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Changes in these assets and liabilities and their related impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were immaterial.

Credit Facilities
On August 12, 2005, we entered intoOur credit facilities, as amended, are comprised of a $600.0 million term loan expiring on August 10, 2012 and a $400.0 million revolving line of credit, which can be utilized to provide up to $300.0 million in letters of credit, expiring on August 12, 2010.2012. We hereinafter refer to these credit facilities collectively as our Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2007both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, we had $58.0 million and $0, respectively,no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. We had outstanding letters of credit of $110.9$126.4 million and $83.9$115.1 million at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, respectively, which reduced borrowing capacity to $231.1$273.6 million and $316.1$284.9 million, respectively.
On August 7, 2007, we amended our Credit Facilities to, among other things, reduce the applicable margin applied to borrowings under the revolving line of credit, as well as extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit by two years, to August 12, 2012. The amendment also eliminates all mandatory debt repayment requirements and the restriction on capital expenditures. The amendment further replaces the dollar limitation on acquisitions and certain restricted payments, with a limitation based on pro forma compliance with the required leverage ratio in both cases.
Borrowings under our Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (1) the base rate (which is based on the greater of the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under our Credit Facilities or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%) or (2) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the ratio of our total debt to consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which as of September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 was 1.00%0.875% and 1.50% for borrowings under our revolving line of credit and term loan, respectively.
We may prepay loans under our Credit Facilities in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we made scheduled repayments of $1.4 million under our Credit Facilities.Facilities of $1.4 million. We have a scheduled repaymentrepayments under our Credit Facilities of $1.4 million due in the fourth quartereach of 2007.the next four quarters.

European Letter of Credit Facility
On September 14, 2007, we entered into an unsecured European Letter of Credit Facility (“European LOC”) to issue letters of credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed150.0 million at any time, with an initial commitment of80.0 million. The aggregate commitment of the European LOC may be increased up to150.0 million as may be agreed among the parties, and may be decreased by us at our option without any premium, fee or penalty. The European LOC will beis used for contingent obligations solely in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC of25.350.5 million ($79.2 million) and35.0 million ($51.1 million) as of September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We will pay certain fees for the letters of credit written against the European LOC based upon the ratio of our total debt to consolidated EBITDA. As of September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 the annual fees equaled 0.5% plus a fronting fee of 0.1%.
Our7. Factoring of Accounts Receivable
Through our European LOC contains covenants restricting certain foreign subsidiaries’ ability to issue debt, incur liens, sell assets, merge, consolidate, make certain investments, pay dividends, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses orsubsidiaries, we engage in non-recourse factoring of certain accounts receivable. The various agreements have different terms, including options for renewal and mutual termination clauses. Our Credit Facilities, which are described in Note 6 above, limit factoring volume to $75.0 million at any business activity other than our existing business. The European LOC also incorporatesgiven point in time as defined by reference the covenants contained in our Credit Facilities.
Our European LOC includes events In the aggregate, the cash received from factored receivables outstanding at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 totaled $25.1 million and $63.9 million, respectively, which represent the factor’s purchase of default usual for these types of letter of credit facilities, including nonpayment of any fee or obligation, violation of covenants, incorrectness of representations$28.6 million and warranties, cross defaults and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material judgments, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of the guarantees and certain changes of control$68.4 million of our company.

9.11. Legal Matters and Contingencies
Asbestos — Related Claims
We are a defendant in a large number of pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases, multiple claimants) that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by us in the past. While the aggregate number of asbestos-related claims against us has declined in recent years, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. AnyAsbestos-containing materials incorporated into any such products werewas encapsulated and used only as components of process equipment, and we do not believe that any significant emission of respirable asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment. We believe that a high percentage of the claims are covered by applicable insurance or indemnities from other companies.
Shareholder Litigation — Appeal of Dismissed Class Action Case; Derivative Case Dismissals.
In 2003, related lawsuits were filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas (the “Court”), alleging that we violated federal securities laws. Since the filing ofAfter these cases which have beenwere consolidated, the lead plaintiff has amended its complaint several times. The lead plaintiff’s currentlast pleading iswas the fifth consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”). The Complaint allegesalleged that federal securities violations occurred between February 6, 2001 and September 27, 2002 and namesnamed as defendants our company, C. Scott Greer, our former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Renee J. Hornbaker, our former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, which served as underwriters for our two public stock offerings during the relevant period. The Complaint assertsasserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.1933 (“Securities Act”). The lead plaintiff seekssought unspecified compensatory damages, forfeiture by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of unspecified incentive-based or equity-based compensation and profits from any stock sales, and recovery of costs. OnBy orders dated November 22, 2005,13, 2007 and January 4, 2008, the Court entered an order denyingdenied the defendants’ motionsplaintiffs’ motion for class certification and granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on all claims. The plaintiffs have appealed both rulings. We will defend vigorously any appeal or other effort by the plaintiffs to dismissoverturn the Complaint. We have subsequently filed other contested motions forCourt’s denial of class certification or its entry of judgment in favor of the purpose of dismissing this case which are currently pending before the Court. The case had been set for trial on October 1, 2007, but on August 22, 2007, the Court stayed the trial and all pretrial proceedings pending its ruling on whether the case may be certified as a class action. We continue to believe that the lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending the case.defendants.

In 2005, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in the 193rd Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas. The lawsuit originally named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms. Hornbaker, and former and current board members Hugh K. Coble, George T. Haymaker, Jr., William C. Rusnack, Michael F. Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek, Kevin E. Sheehan, Diane C. Harris, James O. Rollans and Christopher A. Bartlett. We have beenwere named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on the purported misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the original lawsuit in this action asserted claims against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff alleged that these purported violations of state law occurred between April 2000 and the date of suit.

The plaintiff seekssought on our behalf an unspecified amount of damages, injunctive relief and/or the imposition of a constructive trust on defendants’ assets, disgorgement of compensation, profits or other benefits received by the defendants from us and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs. We strongly believe that the suit was improperly filed and filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. The Courtcase, and the court thereafter ordered the plaintiffs to replead. On October 11, 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended petition adding new claims against the following additional defendants: Kathy Giddings, our former Vice-President and Corporate Controller; Bernard G. Rethore, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Banc of America Securities, LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston, LLC, which served as underwriters for our public stock offerings in November 2001 and April 2002, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. NoneOn April 2, 2008, the lawsuit was dismissed by the Court without prejudice at the request of the defendants have yet responded to the amended petition.plaintiffs.
On March 14, 2006, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms. Hornbaker, and the following former and current board members Mr. Coble, Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Lewis M. Kling, Mr. Rusnack, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Rampacek, Mr. Sheehan, Ms. Harris, Mr. Rollans and Mr. Bartlett. We were named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on certain of the purported misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserted claims against the defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff alleged that the purported breaches of fiduciary duty occurred between 2000 and 2004. The plaintiff sought on our behalf an unspecified amount of damages, disgorgement by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of salaries, bonuses, restricted stock and stock options, and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs. Pursuant to a motion filed by us, the federal court dismissed that case on March 14, 2007, primarily on the basis that the case was not properly filed in federal court. On or about March 27, 2007, the same plaintiff re-filed essentially the same lawsuit naming the same defendants in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. We strongly believebelieved that this new lawsuit was improperly filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York as well and have filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. A hearing was held onOn January 2, 2008, the Court entered an order granting our motion to dismiss in May 2007all claims and allowed the plaintiffs an opportunity to replead. A notice of entry of the dismissal order was served on the plaintiffs on January 15, 2008. The plaintiffs have neither filed an amended complaint nor appealed the dismissal order to date.
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program
We have resolved investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the Court.
Oil-for-Food
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and informationDepartment of Justice (“DOJ”) relating primarily to products that two of our Dutch and Frenchforeign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996 through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. We believe that the SEC’s investigation is focused primarily on whether any inappropriate payments were made to Iraqi officials in violation of the federal securities laws. We subsequently learned that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is investigating the same allegations. In addition, our Dutch and FrenchThese two foreign subsidiaries have also been contacted by governmental authorities in their respective countries, the Netherlands and France, concerning their involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. These investigations include periods prior to, as well as subsequent to, our acquisition of these foreign operations involved in the investigations.
We believe that the U.S., Dutch and French governmental authorities are investigating other companies in connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
We engaged outside counsel in February 2006 to conduct an investigation of our Dutch and Frenchforeign subsidiaries’ participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has been regularly monitoring this situation since the receipt of the SEC subpoena and assumed direct oversight of theoutside counsels’ investigation in January 2007. This internal investigation is complete.
Our internal investigation has included, among other things, a detailed review of contracts with the Iraqi government under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 1996 through 2003, a forensic review of the accounting records associated with these contracts, and interviews of persons with knowledge of the events in question. Our investigation hashave found evidence that, during the years 2001 through 2003, certain non-U.S. personnel at the Dutch and Frenchtwo foreign subsidiaries authorized payments in connection with certain of our product sales under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program totaling approximately600,000, which were subsequently deposited by third parties into Iraqi-controlled bank accounts. These payments were not authorized under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program and were not properly documented in the foreign subsidiaries’ accounting records, but were expensed as paid.
We negotiated a settlement with the SEC in which, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, we: (i) entered into a stipulated judgment enjoining us from future violations of the internal control and recordkeeping provisions of the federal securities laws, (ii) paid disgorgement of $2,720,861 plus prejudgment interest of $853,364 and (iii) paid a civil money penalty of $3 million.
Separately, we negotiated a resolution with DOJ. The resolution results in a deferred prosecution agreement under which we paid a monetary penalty of $4,000,000.
We also believe that the Dutch investigation has effectively concluded and will be resolved with the Dutch subsidiary paying a penalty of approximately265,000. We understand the French investigation is still ongoing. Accordingly we cannot predict the outcome of the French investigation at this time.
We recorded expenses of approximately $11 million during 2007 for case resolution costs and related legal fees in the foregoing “Oil-for-Food” cases. We currently do not expect to incur further case resolution costs in this matter; however, if the French authorities take enforcement action against us with regard to its investigation, we may be subject to additional monetary and non-monetary penalties.
We have improved and implemented new internal controls and taken certain disciplinary actions against persons who engaged in misconduct, violated our ethics policies or failed to cooperate fully in the investigation, including terminating the employment of certain non-U.S. senior management personnel at one of our French subsidiary.subsidiaries. Other non-U.S. senior management personnel at certain of our French and Dutch facilities involved in the above conduct had been previously separated from our companyus for other reasons.

 

1311


We have engaged in and made substantial progress in discussions with the SEC and DOJ in an effort to resolve their outstanding investigations on a negotiated basis. We also believe that the Dutch investigation has effectively concluded. We believe this investigation will be resolved with the Dutch subsidiary paying a penalty of approximately265,000. We understand the remaining French investigation is ongoing. Accordingly we cannot predict the outcome of the French investigation at this time. If the French authorities take enforcement action with regard to its investigation, we may be subject to additional monetary and non-monetary penalties. We recorded expenses of approximately $8 million and $11 million in the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2007 for case resolution costs and related legal fees. We currently do not expect to incur further case resolution costs in this matter.
Export Compliance
In March 2006, we initiated a voluntary process to determine our compliance posture with respect to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations. Upon initial investigation, it appeared that some product transactions and technology transfers were not handled in full compliance with U.S. export control laws and regulations. As a result, in conjunction with outside counsel, we are currently involved in a voluntary systematic process to conduct further review, validation and voluntary disclosure of apparent export violations discovered as part of this review process. We have substantially completed approximately two-thirds of the site visits scheduled as part of this voluntary disclosure process, but currently believe thisthe overall process will not be substantially complete and the results of site visits will not be fully analyzed until the end of 2008, given the complexity of the export laws and the current global scope of the investigation. Any apparent violations of U.S. export control laws and regulations that are identified, confirmed and disclosed to the U.S. government may result in civil or criminal penalties, including fines and/or other penalties. Although companies making voluntary export disclosures have historically received reduced penalties and certain mitigating credits, legislation enacted on October 16, 2007 increased the maximum civil penalty for certain export control violations (assessed on a per-shipment basis) to the greater of $250,000 or twice the value of the transaction. While the Department of Commerce has stated that companies which had initiated voluntary self-disclosures prior to the enactment of this legislation generally would not be subjected to enhanced penalties retroactively, we are unable to determine at this time how other U.S. government agencies will apply this enhanced penalty legislation. Because our review into this issue is ongoing, we are currently unable to definitively determine the full extent of any apparent violations or the nature or total amount of penalties to which we might be subject to in the future. Given that the resolution of this matter is uncertain at this time, we are not able to reasonably estimate the maximum amount of liability that could result from final resolution of this matter. We cannot currently predict whether the ultimatefinal resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to do business outside the U.S., our financial condition or our results of operations.
Other
We are currently involved as a potentially responsible party at four former public waste disposal sites that may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged “fair share” allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on our information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. We believe that our exposure for existing disposal sites will be less than $100,000.
In addition to the above public disposal sites, we have received a Clean Up Notice on September 17, 2007 with respect to a site in Australia. The site was used for disposal of spent foundry sand. A risk assessment of the site is currently underway, but it will be several months before the assessment is completed. It is impossible to accurately quantify the potential liability associated with the site at this time, but it is not currently believed that itadditional remediation costs at the site will be material.
We are also a defendant in several other lawsuits, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, we believe that we have adequately accrued estimated probable losses for such lawsuits.
We are also involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which we believe to be material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However, resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on our operating results for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute certainty except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures relating to contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable based on past experience and available facts. While additional exposures beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be estimated. We will continue to evaluate these potential contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.

11.13. Shareholders’ Equity
We declared and accrued cash dividends of $0.25 and $0.15 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These dividends were paid in April 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On September 29, 2006, theFebruary 26, 2008 our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 2.0$300.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock by the end ofover an unspecified time period. The program is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2007. Shares were repurchased to offset potentially dilutive effects of stock options issued under our equity-based compensation programs. To date, we have repurchased a total of 2.0 million shares and have concluded the program.
On both April 11, 2007 and July 11, 2007, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.15 per share to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2007 and June 27, 2007, respectively.

12.14. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we earned $95.0$125.2 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $32.0$37.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we earned $232.0 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $72.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.1%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, changes in tax law, changes in valuation allowances and net favorable results from various tax audits.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we earned $45.3 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $16.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we earned $135.5 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $54.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.5%29.6%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2006March 31, 2008 primarily due to the taxnet impact of operating activitiesforeign operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we earned $53.0 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $19.4 million, resulting in certain non-U.S. jurisdictionsan effective tax rate of 36.6%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for which a tax benefit was not recognized.the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007.
The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 was an increase in tax reserves and a decrease of $29.8 million to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2007. Upon adoption, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was approximately $129 million. There are offsetting tax benefits of approximately $43 million associated with the correlative effects of transfer pricing adjustments, net operating losses and timing adjustments. The net liability for uncertain tax positions is $86.0 million. Of this amount $84.9 million, if recognized, would favorably impact our effective tax rate.
Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. The balance of accrued interest and penalties recorded on the balance sheet at January 1, 2007 was approximately $14 million.
As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits has increased by $14.5$5.2 million from January 1, 2007 due primarily to interest accrual on existing uncertain tax benefits, currency translation adjustments, and anticipated results of various tax audits.adjustments. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax audits for years through 20012002 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2000. Our U.S. income tax returns for 2002 through 2004 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Additionally, we2001. We are currently under examination for various years in Germany, Italy, Canada, Venezuela and Argentina.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we and various taxing authoritiesthe effective tax rate will resolvebe impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters presently under audit,audited by various taxing authorities, including a favorable resolutionthe previously unrecognized tax benefit associated with the one-time repatriation of foreign profits in 2004, which was not previously recorded as a benefit.2004. It is also reasonably possible that we will have the statute of limitations close in various taxing jurisdictions within the next 12 months. As such, we estimate we could record a reduction in our tax expense from $8of approximately $17 million to $16$32 million within the next 12 months.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 20062007 Annual Report.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We are an established industry leader in the fluid motion and control business, with a strong product portfolio of pumping systems,pumps, valves, sealing solutions,seals, automation and aftermarket services in support of theglobal infrastructure industries including oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water treatment andmanagement, as well as general industrial markets. Thesemarkets where our products add value. Our products are integral to the movement, control and protection of fluidsthe flow of materials in our customers’ critical processes, whether it is a refinery, a power generation facility or a transportation pipeline.processes. Our business model is heavily influenced by the capital spending of these industries for the placement of new products into service and aftermarket services for maintenance on existing facilities.operations. The worldwide installed base of our products is anotheran important source of aftermarket revenue, where products are expected to ensure the maximum operating time of many key industrial processes. The aftermarket business includes parts, service solutions, product life cycle solutions and other value added services, and is generally a higher margin business and a key component to our profitable growth.
We experienced favorable conditions in 20062007 in severalall of our core markets, specificallyfocus industries, especially oil and gas, which has continued through the first ninethree months of 2007. The sustained increase in the price of2008. Market pricing for crude oil and natural gas, in particular, has spurredsupported increased capital investment byin the oil and gas companies,market, resulting in many new projects and expansion opportunities, for us. Favorable market conditions have resulted in corresponding growth, much of which is in non-traditionalthe developing areas of the world where new oil and gas reserves are under development. We have been discovered.seen an increase in investment in complex recovery reserves such as tar sands, deepwater and heavy oil where our products are well positioned. We believe the outlook for our business remains favorable; however, we believe that oil and gas prices will fluctuate in the future and such volatility could have a negative impact on our business in some or all of the geographical areas in which we conduct business. We and our customers are seeing rapid growth in the Middle East and Asia, with China providing a significant source of project growth as that country continues to develop.
We continue to execute on our strategy to increase our presence in theseall regions of the global market to capture aftermarket business through ourthe current installed base, as well as to secure new capital projects and process plant expansions. The opportunity to increase our installed base of new products and drive recurring aftermarket business in future years is a critical by-product of thesethe favorable market conditions.conditions we have seen. Although we have experienced strong demand for our products and services in recent periods, we face challenges affecting many companies in our industry and/or with a significant international operations.multinational presence, such as economic, political and other risks.
We currently employ approximately 14,00015,000 employees in more than 55 countries who are focused on sixexecuting our key strategies that reachstrategic objectives across the business. See “Our Strategies” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2006 Annual Report for a discussion of our six key strategies.globe. We continue to build on our geographic breadth withthrough the implementation of additional Quick Response Centers (“QRCs”) with the goal to be positioned as near to our customers as practicablepossible for service and support in order to capture this important aftermarket business. Along with ensuring that we have the local capability to sell, install and service our equipment in remote regions, it becomes equally imperative to continuously improve our global operations. Our global supply chain capability is being expanded to meet global customer demands and ensure the quality and timely delivery of our products. Significant efforts are underway to reduce the supply base and drive processes across theour divisions to find areas of synergy and cost reduction. In addition, we are improving our supply chain management capability to ensure it can meet global customer demands. We continue to focus on improving on-time delivery and quality, while reducing warranty costs as a percentage of sales across our global operations through a focused Continuous Improvement Process (“CIP”) initiative. The goal of the CIP initiative isand lean manufacturing initiatives are to maximize service fulfillment to customers such asthrough on-time delivery, reduced cycle time and quality at the highest internal productivity. This program isThese programs are a key factor in our margin expansion plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three and Nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007
As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, FPD acquired the remaining 50% interest in Niigata, a Japanese manufacturer of pumps and 2006other rotating equipment, effective March 1, 2008, for $2.4 million in cash. The incremental interest acquired was accounted for as a step acquisition and Niigata’s results of operations have been consolidated since the date of acquisition. Prior to this transaction, our 50% interest in Niigata was recorded using the equity method of accounting. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

Business Segments
We conduct our business through three business segments that represent our major product types:
  FPD for engineered pumps, industrial pumps and related services;
 
  FCD for industrial valves, manual valves, control valves, nuclear valves, valve actuators and related services; and
 
  FSD for precision mechanical seals and related services.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s operating income. See Note 1315 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our segments. The key operating results for our three business segments, FPD, FCD and FSD are discussed below.
Flowserve Pump Division
Through FPD, we design, manufacture, distribute and distribute highlyservice engineered pumps,and industrial pumps and pump systems and submersible motors (collectively referred to as “original equipment” or “OE”). FPD also manufactures replacement parts and related equipment, and provides a full array of support services (collectively referred to as “aftermarket”). FPD has 2729 manufacturing facilities worldwide, of which nineeight are located in North America, 11 in Europe, fivefour in SouthLatin America and twosix in Asia. FPD also has more than 6077 service centers, including those locatedco-located in a manufacturing facility.facility, in 24 countries. We believe that we are the largest pump manufacturer serving the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industries, and the third largest pump manufacturer overall.
As discussed above and in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, FPD acquired the remaining 50% interest in Niigata, a Japanese manufacturer of pumps and other rotating equipment, effective March 1, 2008, for $2.4 million in cash. The incremental interest acquired was accounted for as a step acquisition and Niigata’s results of operations have been consolidated since the date of acquisition. Prior to this transaction, our 50% interest in Niigata was recorded using the equity method of accounting.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Analysis
                
 Nine Months Ended September 30,  Three Months Ended March 31, 
(Amounts in millions) 2007 2006  2008 2007 
Net cash flows provided by operating activities $45.1 $14.4 
Net cash flows used by operating activities $(172.4) $(73.8)
Net cash flows used by investing activities  (57.3)  (43.6)  (13.1)  (21.5)
Net cash flows provided (used) by financing activities 11.6  (15.7)
Net cash flows provided by financing activities 7.1 65.8 
CashExisting cash, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our existing revolving credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Our cash balance at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 was $71.1$197.9 million, as compared with $67.0$370.6 million at December 31, 2006.2007.
The cash flows providedused by operating activities for the first ninethree months of 20072008 primarily reflect a $78.4$54.5 million increase in net income, offset by a $45.0$138.1 million decrease in cash flows from working capital, particularly due to higher inventory of $147.7$108.9 million, especially project-related inventory required to support future shipments of products in backlog, and higher accounts receivable of $119.0$80.9 million resulting primarily from increased sales. Partially offsetting this growth is an increasesales and a $39.8 million reduction in accrued liabilities of $152.9 million due primarily to advanced cash received from our customers to support our increased investmentfactored receivables,as well as a decrease in inventory. We also contributed $15.6 millionaccounts payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we made no contributions to our U.S. pension plansplan. However, we expect to contribute approximately $50 million during September 2007, as compared with $35.7 million in September 2006.the second quarter of 2008.

21


Our goal for days’ sales receivables outstanding (“DSO”) is 60 days. As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we achieved a DSO of 6971 days as compared with 6065 days as of September 30, 2006.March 31, 2007. The increase in DSO is partially attributable to the termination of our major factoring agreements, as discussed below in “Accounts Receivable Factoring” and in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. For reference purposes based on 20072008 sales, an improvement of one day could provide approximately $10$11 million in cash flow. Increases in inventory used $147.7$108.9 million of cash flow for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared with $101.1$76.0 million for the same period in 2006.2007. Inventory turns were 3.33.0 times as of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, compared with 3.93.4 times as of September 30, 2006,March 31, 2007, reflecting the increase in inventory, partially offset by the increase in sales. Our calculation of inventory turns does not reflect the impact of advanced cash received from our customers. For reference purposes based on 20072008 data, an improvement of one turn could yield approximately $169$212 million in cash flow.
Cash flows used by investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 were $57.3$13.1 million, as compared with $43.6$21.5 million for the same period in 2006.2007. Capital expenditures during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 were $60.9$14.3 million, an increasea decrease of $17.4$8.2 million as compared with the same period in 2006, which reflects increased spending to support capacity expansion, enterprise resource planning application upgrades and information technology infrastructure.2007.
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 were $11.6$7.1 million, as compared with a use of $15.7$65.8 million for the same period in 2006.2007. Cash inflows in 2008 resulted primarily from $8.2 million in exercise of stock options, and were offset by outflows for the payment of $8.6 million in dividends. Cash inflows in 2007 were due primarily to $58.0$85.0 million in borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The borrowings were used primarily to fund increased working capital needs, share repurchases and increased capital spending. Cash outflows in 2007 include repurchase of common shares for $44.8 million and the payment of dividends of $17.2$30.6 million. Cash outflows in 2006 were due to net payments on long-term debt, including $10.9 million of mandatory repayments using the proceeds from the sale of GSG, as discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

27


We believe cash flows from operating activities combined with availability under our existing revolving credit agreement and our existing cash balance will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash flow needs for the next 12 months. Cash flows from operations could be adversely affected by economic, political and other risks associated with sales of our products, operational factors, competition, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates, among other factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
On September 29, 2006, theFebruary 26, 2008 our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 2.0$300.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock byover an unspecified time period. The program is expected to commence in the end of second quarter of 2007. Shares were repurchased to offset potentially dilutive effects of stock options issued under our equity-based compensation programs. To date, we have repurchased a total of 2.0 million shares and have concluded the program.2008.
On both April 11, 2007 and July 11, 2007, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.15 per share to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2007 and June 27, 2007, respectively. On August 16, 2007,February 26, 2008 our Board of Directors authorized the payment of aincreased our quarterly cash dividend to $0.25 per share. We declared cash dividends of $0.25 and $0.15 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which waswere paid on October 10,in April 2008 and 2007, to shareholders of record as of September 26, 2007.respectively. While we currently intend to pay regular quarterly dividends in the foreseeable future, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on its assessment of our financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise economical capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation.
As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Niigata, effective March 1, 2008, for $2.4 million in cash.
As disclosed on July 5, 2007, we sold a small production facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and two small non-core product lines. As disclosed on September 14, 2007, we sold certain product distribution assets of our small non-core instrumentation and positioner facility in Karlstad, Sweden. The divested operations are insignificant to our continuing operations. The completion of these sales transactions did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the third quarter of 2007.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $60.9$14.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared with $43.5$22.4 million for the same period in 2006.2007. Capital expenditures in 20072008 and 20062007 have focused on capacity expansion, enterprise resource planning application upgrades, information technology infrastructure and cost reduction opportunities. For the full year 2007,2008, our capital expenditures are expected to be between approximately $90$115 million and $100$125 million. Certain of our facilities may face capacity constraints in the foreseeable future, which may lead to higher capital expenditure levels.

Financing
Credit Facilities
On August 12, 2005, we entered into Credit FacilitiesOur credit facilities, as amended, are comprised of a $600.0 million term loan maturingexpiring on August 10, 2012 and a $400.0 million revolving line of credit, which can be utilized to provide up to $300.0 million in letters of credit, expiring on August 12, 2010.2012. We hereinafter refer to these credit facilities collectively as our Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2007both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, we had $58.0 million and $0, respectively,no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. We had outstanding letters of credit of $110.9$126.4 million and $83.9$115.1 million at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, respectively, which reduced borrowing capacity to $231.1$273.6 million and $316.1$284.9 million, respectively.
On August 6, 2007, we amended our Credit Facilities to, among other things, reduce the applicable margin applied to borrowings under the revolving line of credit, as well as extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit, by two years to August 12, 2012. The amendment also eliminates all mandatory debt repayment requirements and the restriction on capital expenditures. The amendment further replaces the dollar limitation on acquisitions and certain restricted payments, with a limitation based on pro forma compliance with the required leverage ratio in both cases.
Borrowings under our Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (1) the base rate (which is based on the greater of the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under our Credit Facilities or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%) or (2) LIBORLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the ratio of our total debt to consolidated EBITDA,Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which as of September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 was 1.00%0.875% and 1.50% for borrowings under our revolving line of credit and term loan, respectively.

28


We may prepay loans under our Credit Facilities in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we made scheduled repayments of $1.4 million under our Credit Facilities.Facilities of $1.4 million. We have a scheduled repaymentrepayments of $1.4 million due in the fourth quartereach of 2007.the next four quarters.
As discussed in Note 6, our debt increased $5.8 million as a result of our acquisition of the remaining 50% of Niigata, which was effective on March 1, 2008. We have scheduled repayments related to this debt of $1.2 million, $4.0 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the quarters ending June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. In addition, prior to our obtaining and maintaining investment grade credit ratings, our and the guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets.
Additional discussion of our Credit Facilities, including amounts outstanding and applicable interest rates, is included in Note 56 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We have entered into interest rate and currency swap agreements to hedge our exposure to cash flows related to our Credit Facilities. These agreements are more fully described in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, and in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.
European Letter of Credit Facility
On September 14, 2007, we entered into an unsecured European LOCLetter of Credit Facility (“European LOC”) to issue letters of credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed150.0 million at any time, with an initial commitment of80.0 million. The aggregate commitment of the European LOC may be increased up to150.0 million as may be agreed among the parties, and may be decreased by us at our option without any premium, fee or penalty. The European LOC will beis used for contingent obligations solely in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC of25.350.5 million ($79.2 million) and 35.0 million ($51.1 million) as of September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We will pay certain fees for the letters of credit written against the European LOC based upon the ratio of our total debt to consolidated EBITDA. As of September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 the annual fees equaled 0.5% plus a fronting fee of 0.1%.
See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Annual Report for a discussion of covenants related to our Credit Facilities and our European LOC. We complied with all covenants through March 31, 2008.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
Through our European subsidiaries, we engage in non-recourse factoring of certain accounts receivable. The various agreements have different terms, including options for renewal and mutual termination clauses. Our Credit Facilities, which are fully described in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 20062007 Annual Report, limit factoring volume to $75.0 million at any given point in time as defined by our Credit Facilities.
Debt Covenants and Other Matters
Our Credit Facilities contain leverage and interest coverage financial covenants. Under the leverage covenant, the maximum permitted leverage ratio stepped down in the fourth quarter of 2006. On August 7, 2007 our Credit Facilities were amended to, among other things, permit a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 times debt to EBITDA with no further reductions. Under the interest coverage covenant, the minimum required interest coverage ratio stepped up in the fourth quarter of 2006, with a further step-up beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. Compliance with these financial covenants under our Credit Facilities is tested quarterly.
Our Credit Facilities include events of default usual for these types of credit facilities, including nonpayment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, incorrectness of representations and warranties, cross defaults and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material judgments, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), events, actual or asserted invalidity of the guarantees or the security documents, and certain changes of control of our company. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the acceleration of our and the guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Facilities. We complied with the covenants through September 30, 2007.
Our European LOC contains covenants restricting certain foreign subsidiaries ability to issue debt, incur liens, sell assets, merge, consolidate, make certain investments, pay dividends, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses or engage in any business activity other than our existing business. The European LOC also incorporates by reference the covenants contained in our Credit Facilities.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we gave notice of our intent to terminate our major factoring facilities during 2008. We plan to terminate all factoring agreements by the end of 2008. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our accounts receivable factoring.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our more critical accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were discussed in our 20062007 Annual Report. These critical policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, include:
Revenue Recognition;
Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves;
Reserves for Contingent Loss;
Retirement and Postretirement Benefits; and
Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets.
Revenue Recognition;
Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves;
Reserves for Contingent Loss;
Retirement and Postretirement Benefits; and
Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets.
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The significant estimates are reviewed quarterly with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We have market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements.
Our earnings are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of borrowings under our Credit Facilities, which bear interest based on floating rates. At September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, after the effect of interest rate swaps, we had $199.8$179.0 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Credit Facilities with a weighted average interest rate of 6.72%4.28%. A hypothetical change of 100-basis points in the interest rate for these borrowings, assuming constant variable rate debt levels, would have changed interest expense by $1.5$0.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008.
We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments including interest rate swaps, but we currently expect all counterparties will continue to meet their obligations given their creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006,2007, we had $415.0$375.0 million and $435.0$395.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties with varying maturities through September 2010.
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential losses in earnings or cash flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These strategies also minimize potential gains from favorable exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency and from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars.Dollars. Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates could impact our net income for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 by $14.3$7.5 million as shown below:

Exposures are mitigated primarily with foreign currency forward contracts that generally have maturity dates of less than one year. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for identifiable foreign currency exposures, and changes in the fair values of these instruments are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we had a U.S. dollarDollar equivalent of $380.9$498.0 million in outstanding forward contracts with third parties, compared with $433.7$464.9 million at December 31, 2006.2007.
Generally, we view our investments in foreign subsidiaries from a long-term perspective, and therefore, do not hedge these investments. We use capital structuring techniques to manage our investment in foreign subsidiaries as deemed necessary.

We realized net gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $24.6$34.0 million and $(1.6)$4.8 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $44.8 million and $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive income (loss).income. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of certain forward exchange contracts are included in our current period earnings. We recorded foreign currency net gains (losses) of $2.6$12.4 million and $(2.8)$(0.7) million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $3.4 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are party to the legal proceedings that are described in Note 911 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report. In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other lawsuits incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters to have a material effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
Asbestos — Related Claims
We are a defendant in a large number of pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases, multiple claimants) that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by us in the past. While the aggregate number of asbestos-related claims against us has declined in recent years, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. AnyAsbestos-containing materials incorporated into any such products werewas encapsulated and used only as components of process equipment, and we do not believe that any significant emission of respirable asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment. We believe that a high percentage of the claims are covered by applicable insurance or indemnities from other companies.
Shareholder Litigation — Appeal of Dismissed Class Action Case; Derivative Case Dismissals.
In 2003, related lawsuits were filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas (the “Court”), alleging that we violated federal securities laws. Since the filing ofAfter these cases which have beenwere consolidated, the lead plaintiff has amended its complaint several times. The lead plaintiff’s currentlast pleading iswas the fifth consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”). The Complaint allegesalleged that federal securities violations occurred between February 6, 2001 and September 27, 2002 and namesnamed as defendants our company, C. Scott Greer, our former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Renee J. Hornbaker, our former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, which served as underwriters for our two public stock offerings during the relevant period. The Complaint assertsasserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.1933 (“Securities Act”). The lead plaintiff seekssought unspecified compensatory damages, forfeiture by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of unspecified incentive-based or equity-based compensation and profits from any stock sales, and recovery of costs. OnBy orders dated November 22, 2005,13, 2007 and January 4, 2008, the Court entered an order denyingdenied the defendants’ motionsplaintiffs’ motion for class certification and granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on all claims. The plaintiffs have appealed both rulings. We will defend vigorously any appeal or other effort by the plaintiffs to dismissoverturn the Complaint. We have subsequently filed other contested motions forCourt’s denial of class certification or its entry of judgment in favor of the purpose of dismissing this case which are currently pending before the Court. The case had been set for trial on October 1, 2007, but on August 22, 2007, the Court stayed the trial and all pretrial proceedings pending its ruling on whether the case may be certified as a class action. We continue to believe that the lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending the case.defendants.
In 2005, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in the 193rd Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas. The lawsuit originally named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms. Hornbaker, and former and current board members Hugh K. Coble, George T. Haymaker, Jr., William C. Rusnack, Michael F. Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek, Kevin E. Sheehan, Diane C. Harris, James O. Rollans and Christopher A. Bartlett. We have beenwere named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on the purported misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the original lawsuit in this action asserted claims against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff alleged that these purported violations of state law occurred between April 2000 and the date of suit. The plaintiff seekssought on our behalf an unspecified amount of damages, injunctive relief and/or the imposition of a constructive trust on defendants’ assets, disgorgement of compensation, profits or other benefits received by the defendants from us and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs. We strongly believe that the suit was improperly filed and filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. The Courtcase, and the court thereafter ordered the plaintiffs to replead. On October 11, 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended petition adding new claims against the following additional defendants: Kathy Giddings, our former Vice-President and Corporate Controller; Bernard G. Rethore, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Banc of America Securities, LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston, LLC, which served as underwriters for our public stock offerings in November 2001 and April 2002, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. NoneOn April 2, 2008, the lawsuit was dismissed by the Court without prejudice at the request of the defendants have yet responded to the amended petition.plaintiffs.

On March 14, 2006, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms. Hornbaker, and the following former and current board members Mr. Coble, Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Lewis M. Kling, Mr. Rusnack, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Rampacek, Mr. Sheehan, Ms. Harris, Mr. Rollans and Mr. Bartlett. We were named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on certain of the purported misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserted claims against the defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff alleged that the purported breaches of fiduciary duty occurred between 2000 and 2004. The plaintiff sought on our behalf an unspecified amount of damages, disgorgement by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of salaries, bonuses, restricted stock and stock options, and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs. Pursuant to a motion filed by us, the federal court dismissed that case on March 14, 2007, primarily on the basis that the case was not properly filed in federal court. On or about March 27, 2007, the same plaintiff re-filed essentially the same lawsuit naming the same defendants in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. We strongly believebelieved that this new lawsuit was improperly filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York as well and have filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. A hearing was held onOn January 2, 2008, the Court entered an order granting our motion to dismiss in May 2007all claims and allowed the plaintiffs an opportunity to replead. A notice of entry of the dismissal order was served on the plaintiffs on January 15, 2008. The plaintiffs have neither filed an amended complaint nor appealed the dismissal order to date.
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program
We have resolved investigations by the SEC and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the Court.
Oil-for-Food
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and informationDOJ relating primarily to products that two of our Dutch and Frenchforeign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996 through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. We believe that the SEC’s investigation is focused primarily on whether any inappropriate payments were made to Iraqi officials in violation of the federal securities laws. We subsequently learned that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is investigating the same allegations. In addition, our Dutch and FrenchThese two foreign subsidiaries have also been contacted by governmental authorities in their respective countries, the Netherlands and France, concerning their involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. These investigations include periods prior to, as well as subsequent to, our acquisition of these foreign operations involved in the investigations.
We believe that the U.S., Dutch and French governmental authorities are investigating other companies in connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
We engaged outside counsel in February 2006 to conduct an investigation of our Dutch and Frenchforeign subsidiaries’ participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has been regularly monitoring this situation since the receipt of the SEC subpoena and assumed direct oversight of theoutside counsels’ investigation in January 2007. This internal investigation is complete.
Our internal investigation has included, among other things, a detailed review of contracts with the Iraqi government under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 1996 through 2003, a forensic review of the accounting records associated with these contracts, and interviews of persons with knowledge of the events in question. Our investigation hashave found evidence that, during the years 2001 through 2003, certain non-U.S. personnel at the Dutch and Frenchtwo foreign subsidiaries authorized payments in connection with certain of our product sales under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program totaling approximately600,000, which were subsequently deposited by third parties into Iraqi-controlled bank accounts. These payments were not authorized under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program and were not properly documented in the foreign subsidiaries’ accounting records, but were expensed as paid.
We negotiated a settlement with the SEC in which, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, we: (i) entered into a stipulated judgment enjoining us from future violations of the internal control and recordkeeping provisions of the federal securities laws, (ii) paid disgorgement of $2,720,861 plus prejudgment interest of $853,364 and (iii) paid a civil money penalty of $3 million.
Separately, we negotiated a resolution with DOJ. The resolution results in a deferred prosecution agreement under which we paid a monetary penalty of $4,000,000.
We also believe that the Dutch investigation has effectively concluded and will be resolved with the Dutch subsidiary paying a penalty of approximately 265,000. We understand the French investigation is still ongoing. Accordingly we cannot predict the outcome of the French investigation at this time.
We recorded expenses of approximately $11 million during 2007 for case resolution costs and related legal fees in the foregoing “Oil-for-Food” cases. We currently do not expect to incur further case resolution costs in this matter; however, if the French authorities take enforcement action against us with regard to its investigation, we may be subject to additional monetary and non-monetary penalties.
We have improved and implemented new internal controls and taken certain disciplinary actions against persons who engaged in misconduct, violated our ethics policies or failed to cooperate fully in the investigation, including terminating the employment of certain non-U.S. senior management personnel at one of our French subsidiary.subsidiaries. Other non-U.S. senior management personnel at certain of our French and Dutch facilities involved in the above conduct had been previously separated from our companyus for other reasons.
We have engaged in and made substantial progress in discussions with the SEC and DOJ in an effort to resolve their outstanding investigations on a negotiated basis. We also believe that the Dutch investigation has effectively concluded. We believe this investigation will be resolved with the Dutch subsidiary paying a penalty of approximately265,000. We understand the remaining French investigation is ongoing. Accordingly we cannot predict the outcome of the French investigation at this time. If the French authorities take enforcement action with regard to its investigation, we may be subject to additional monetary and non-monetary penalties. We recorded expenses of approximately $8 million and $11 million in the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2007 for case resolution costs and related legal fees. We currently do not expect to incur further case resolution costs in this matter.

Export Compliance
In March 2006, we initiated a voluntary process to determine our compliance posture with respect to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations. Upon initial investigation, it appeared that some product transactions and technology transfers were not handled in full compliance with U.S. export control laws and regulations. As a result, in conjunction with outside counsel, we are currently involved in a voluntary systematic process to conduct further review, validation and voluntary disclosure of apparent export violations discovered as part of this review process. We have substantially completed approximately two-thirds of the site visits scheduled as part of this voluntary disclosure process, but currently believe thisthe overall process will not be substantially complete and the results of site visits will not be fully analyzed until the end of 2008, given the complexity of the export laws and the current global scope of the investigation. Any apparent violations of U.S. export control laws and regulations that are identified, confirmed and disclosed to the U.S. government may result in civil or criminal penalties, including fines and/or other penalties. Although companies making voluntary export disclosures have historically received reduced penalties and certain mitigating credits, legislation enacted on October 16, 2007 increased the maximum civil penalty for certain export control

29


violations (assessed on a per-shipment basis) to the greater of $250,000 or twice the value of the transaction. While the Department of Commerce has stated that companies which had initiated voluntary self-disclosures prior to the enactment of this legislation generally would not be subjected to enhanced penalties retroactively, we are unable to determine at this time how other U.S. government agencies will apply this enhanced penalty legislation. Because our review into this issue is ongoing, we are currently unable to definitively determine the full extent of any apparent violations or the nature or total amount of penalties to which we might be subject to in the future. Given that the resolution of this matter is uncertain at this time, we are not able to reasonably estimate the maximum amount of liability that could result from final resolution of this matter. We cannot currently predict whether the ultimatefinal resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to do business outside the U.S., our financial condition or our results of operations.
Other
We are currently involved as a potentially responsible party at four former public waste disposal sites that may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged “fair share” allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on our information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. We believe that our exposure for existing disposal sites will be less than $100,000.
In addition to the above public disposal sites, we have received a Clean Up Notice on September 17, 2007 with respect to a site in Australia. The site was used for disposal of spent foundry sand. A risk assessment of the site is currently underway, but it will be several months before the assessment is completed. It is impossible to accurately quantify the potential liability associated with the site at this time, but it is not currently believed that itadditional remediation costs at the site will be material.
We are also a defendant in several other lawsuits, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, we believe that we have adequately accrued estimated probable losses for such lawsuits.
We are also involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which we believe to be material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However, resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on our operating results for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute certainty except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures relating to contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable based on past experience and available facts. While additional exposures beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be estimated. We will continue to evaluate these potential contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We are also involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which we believe to be material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However, resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on our operating results for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully read and consider “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I, and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our 20062007 Annual Report, and the risk factors described in our other filings with the SEC, which contain a description of significant factors that might cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. Set forth below are twoOur current risk factors that have been modified or havenot materially changed from the risk factors discussed in our 20062007 Annual Report and subsequently updated in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 30, 2007.Report. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, andour 2007 Annual Report or as may be identified in our 2006 Annual Reportother SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change, however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may surface in the future whichthat materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results of operations or cash flow in the future.flows.

The ongoing domestic and foreign government investigations regarding our participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program could materially adversely affect our Company.
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and information relating primarily to products that our Dutch and French subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996 through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
