Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 
TEXTRON INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Textron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of Textron's consolidated financial position at July 1, 2006, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
Textron's financings are conducted through two borrowing groups: Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. This framework is designed to enhance Textron's borrowing power by separating the Finance segment. Textron Manufacturing consists of Textron Inc., the parent company, consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial business segments. Textron Manufacturing's cash flows include dividends received from Textron Finance but exclude its pre-tax income. Textron Finance consists of Textron's wholly owned commercial finance subsidiary, Textron Financial Corporation, consolidated with its subsidiaries, which are the entities through which Textron operates its Finance segment. Textron Finance obtains financing for its operations by borrowing from its own group of external creditors. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by Textron Manufacturing that is financed by Textron Finance.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2005, and in 2006, Textron has separately disclosed the operating, investing and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations, which in prior periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount. Prior 2005 interim periods have been revised to conform to this presentation.
 
Note 2: Discontinued Operations
 
Textron's consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures reflect the Fastening Systems business and the previously sold businesses of InteSys and OmniQuip as discontinued operations, net of applicable income taxes, for all periods presented.
 
Operating results, primarily related to Fastening Systems, of the discontinued businesses are as follows:

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
In May 2006, as a result of offers received from potential purchasers and the additional obligations estimated to require settlement as part of a sale, Textron determined that the net assets of the Fastening Systems business exceeded the fair value less cost to sell. Consequently, Textron recorded a $120 million after-tax impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006.

On May 31, 2006, Textron entered into a purchase agreement to sell substantially all of Textron's Fastening Systems business to TFS Acquisition Corporation, an investment vehicle formed for the acquisition by Platinum Equity, a private equity investment firm. The purchase price will consist of a cash amount of $630 million, subject to adjustment based on changes in the net asset value, net debt and cash of the Fastening Systems business, and the assumption of certain liabilities. The estimated purchase price approximates fair value of the business, less cost to sell. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006.
 
In the first half of 2005, a gain of $40 million was recognized on the sale of InteSys, a business previously reported in the Industrial segment.

Note 8: Special Charges
 
Special charges for the second quarter of 2005 include a $39 million impairment charge related to preferred shares in Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("C&A Products") and $2 million in restructuring costs in connection with Textron's company-wide restructuring program that was completed at the end of 2005. Special charges for the first six months of 2005 include $91 million of impairment charges related to preferred shares in C&A Products and $4 million in restructuring costs in connection with the company-wide restructuring program.
 
Textron's remaining reserves under the company-wide restructuring program total $31 million as of July 1, 2006. This balance includes a $29 million liability associated with exiting certain leased facilities in the Industrial segment and will be paid out over the remaining lease term.
 
Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies
 
Textron is subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of Textron's business, including proceedings and claims relating to private sector transactions; government contracts; production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental, safety, and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings and claims seek damages, fines, or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. As a government contractor, Textron is subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether its operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could also result in Textron's suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, Textron believes that these proceedings and claims will not have a material effect on Textron's financial position or results of operations.
 
In connection with the 2002 recall of certain Lycoming turbocharged airplane engines, a former third-party supplier filed a lawsuit against Lycoming claiming that the former supplier had been wrongly blamed for aircraft engine failures
 

10.
Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
resulting from its crankshaft forging process and that Lycoming's design was the cause of the engine failures. In February 2005, a jury returned a verdict against Lycoming for $86 million in punitive damages, $2.7 million in expert fees and $1.7 million in increased insurance costs. The jury also found that the former supplier's claim that it had incurred $5.3 million in attorneys' fees was reasonable. Judgment was entered on the verdict on March 29, 2005, awarding the former supplier $9.7 million in alleged compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and $86 million in alleged punitive damages. While the ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot be assured, management strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes that it is probable that it will be reversed through the appellate process.
 
In 2005, Lycoming issued a service bulletin covering certain non-turbocharged aircraft engines to replace potentially faulty crankshafts manufactured by the former supplier with new crankshafts certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). This bulletin was amended later in 2005 to include additional engines. Including the amendment, the service bulletin covers approximately 1,425 crankshafts and requires that the affected crankshafts be replaced within the earlier of the next 50 hours of operation or six months. On April 27, 2006, the FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive requiring compliance within six months of that date. As of July 1, 2006, reserves to cover costs directly related to crankshafts provided by the former supplier, excluding the retirement program described below, totaled $9 million.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2005, Lycoming developed a plan to institute a retirement program for approximately 5,100 crankshafts, representing the remaining crankshafts manufactured by the former supplier using the same forging technique as the crankshafts covered by prior service bulletins. A service bulletin was issued in the first quarter of 2006 implementing this plan, which requires the retirement of an affected crankshaft at the next crankshaft access or scheduled overhaul, whichever occurs first, but not to exceed three calendar years from the issuance of the service bulletin. These crankshafts have not been the subject of a recall. As of July 1, 2006, reserves for this program totaled $10 million.
 
Note 10: Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland North America Inc. ("AWNA") formed the AgustaWestlandBell LLC ("AWB LLC") in January 2004 for the joint design, development, manufacture, sale, customer training and product support of the US101 helicopter, subsequently designated the VH-71 helicopter, and certain variations and derivatives thereof, to be offered and sold to departments or agencies of the U.S. Government.
 
In March 2005, AWB LLC received a $1.2 billion cost reimbursement-type subcontract from Lockheed Martin for the System Development and Demonstration phase of the U.S. Marine Corps Marine 1 Helicopter Squadron (VH-71) Program. On March 11, 2005, Bell Helicopter guaranteed to Lockheed Martin the due and prompt performance by AWB LLC of all its obligations under this subcontract, provided that Bell Helicopter's liability under the guaranty shall not exceed 49% of AWB LLC's aggregate liability to Lockheed Martin under the subcontract. AgustaWestland N.V., AWNA's parent company, has guaranteed the remaining 51% to Lockheed Martin. Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland N.V. have entered into cross-indemnification agreements in which each party indemnifies the other related to any payments required under these agreements that result from the indemnifying party's workshare under any subcontracts received.
 
For 2006, AWB LLC's maximum obligation is 40% of the total contract value, which equates to $464 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter's liability under the guarantee will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
 
In connection with the disposition of Trim, certain operating leases were transferred and assigned to Collins & Aikman Corporation ("C&A"). Textron has guaranteed C&A's payments under these operating leases and an environmental matter up to an aggregate remaining amount of approximately $18 million. Textron would be required to make payments under the guarantees upon default by C&A. Textron has not received any significant default notices related to these leases, and management believes C&A will continue to make payments. In July 2006, as part of C&A's announced plan to sell its European operations, Textron reached an agreement and settled its guarantee related to C&A's lease of certain European facilities. To the extent possible, Textron will seek reimbursement from C&A for amounts it is required to pay
 

11.
Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
for these matters. Management will continue to monitor C&A's performance and Textron's reserves related to these matters. Textron's reserves of $12 million at July 1, 2006 are based on management's best estimate of Textron's exposure under these guarantees.
 
As disclosed under the caption "Guarantees" in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Textron has issued or is party to certain other guarantees. As of July 1, 2006, there have been no material changes to these other guarantees.
 
Note 11: Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140". This Statement requires evaluation of all interests in securitized financial assets to determine whether they represent either freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. These interests were previously exempted from such evaluation in SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 permits any hybrid instrument, such as an interest in securitized financial assets containing an embedded derivative, to be accounted for at fair value as opposed to bifurcating and accounting for the embedded derivative separate from the host instrument. This Statement also amends SFAS No. 140 by eliminating restrictions on a qualifying special purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests that are, or contain, a derivative financial instrument. Textron will adopt this Statement in the first quarter of 2007, and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations.
 
In March 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An amendment of FASB Statement No. 140". This Statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to, and over, the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation. The option to subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value will allow entities which utilize derivative instruments to hedge their servicing rights to account for such hedging relationships at fair value and avoid the complications of hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Textron does not utilize derivative instruments to hedge its servicing rights as of July 1, 2006. Textron will adopt this Statement in the first quarter of 2007, and will utilize the amortization method to subsequently measure its servicing rights. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This Interpretation provides a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Textron will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Textron is currently assessing the impact of this Interpretation on Textron's financial position and results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 13-2 "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction". This Staff Position amends SFAS No. 13 "Accounting for Leases" and requires a recalculation of returns on leveraged leases if there is a change or projected change in the timing of cash flows related to income taxes generated by the leveraged lease. In accordance with this guidance, the difference between the revised calculation of earnings since lease inception and the actual amount of cumulative earnings recognized is recorded in income from continuing operations. Textron is required to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption, any change in the projected cash flows will be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Internal Revenue Service has challenged both the ability to accelerate the timing of tax deductions and the amounts of those deductions related to certain leveraged lease transactions with an initial investment of approximately $167 million within the Finance segment. Textron is currently assessing the impact of this Staff Position on Textron's financial position and results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Business Overview
 
Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that leverages its global network of businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services in four business segments: Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance. We are known around the world for our powerful brands spanning the business jet, aerospace and defense, plastic fuel systems, golf car and turf-care markets, among others.
 
Our commitment to bring new products and services to our customers positioned Textron to deliver organic growth of approximately 12% in the first half of 2006. Organic growth includes sales from existing businesses and excludes the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. In our combined aircraft businesses, we continue to experience growth in our backlog which rose to $10 billion by the end of the second quarter. Our industrial business volume also increased as a result of improvements in end markets, and our Finance segment has continued to grow organically. The Finance segment's portfolio quality statistics have improved since year-end and average finance receivables were approximately $1.0 billion higher than the corresponding period in 2005.
 
During the first half of 2006, increased pricing, the benefit of higher manufacturing sales volume and increased profit in the Finance business, more than offset inflation, higher pension costs and the impact of increased costs on Lot 1 of the H-1 Low Rate Initial Production contract ("H-1 LRIP").
 
On May 31, 2006, Textron entered into a purchase agreement to sell substantially all of its Fastening Systems business, which was classified as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of 2005, to a private equity investment firm. In connection with this pending sale, we recorded an after-tax impairment charge of $120 million in the second quarter of 2006.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Revenues
 
Revenues increased $153 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher pricing of $66 million in the manufacturing segments, increased manufacturing volume of $47 million and higher Finance revenues of $45 million. These increases were partially offset by the 2005 divestiture of non-core product lines in the Industrial segment of $15 million.
 
Revenues increased $515 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher volume of $362 million across all the manufacturing segments, especially in the aircraft businesses, higher pricing of $118 million in the manufacturing segments and higher Finance revenues of $86 million. These increases were partially offset by the 2005 divestiture of non-core product lines in the Industrial segment of $43 million and unfavorable foreign exchange of $29 million.
 
Segment Profit
 
Segment profit increased $22 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005. Major drivers included $66 million from higher pricing in the manufacturing segments, $17 million in cost improvements, higher profit in the Finance segment of $12 million and the increased contribution of $5 million from higher manufacturing volume, partially offset by inflation of $82 million.
 
Segment profit increased $56 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005. Major drivers included $118 million from higher pricing in the manufacturing segments, the increased contribution of $72 million from higher manufacturing volume and higher profit in the Finance segment of $28 million, partially offset by inflation of $144 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Special Charges
 
Special charges for the second quarter of 2005 include a $39 million impairment charge related to preferred shares in Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("C&A Products") and $2 million in restructuring costs in connection with Textron's company-wide restructuring program that was completed at the end of 2005. Special charges for the first six months of 2005 include $91 million of impairment charges related to preferred shares in C&A Products and $4 million in restructuring costs in connection with the company-wide restructuring program.

The effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 29% to 30%.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
Discontinued operations are primarily comprised of the Fastening Systems business which was classified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2005. On May 31, 2006, Textron entered into a purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the Fastening Systems business to a private equity investment firm, which is discussed in more detail in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations also includes an after-tax gain of approximately $40 million associated with the sale of the InteSys business in the first half of 2005, and activity related to certain retained assets and liabilities of the OmniQuip business.
 
Revenues for the Fastening Systems business for the second quarter of 2006 decreased $57 million from the corresponding period in 2005, primarily due to the $54 million impact of divestitures. For the first half of 2006, revenues decreased $117 million from the corresponding period, primarily due to the $87 million impact of divestitures and a $25 million unfavorable foreign exchange rate impact.
 
Operating (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, decreased $120 million and $105 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, respectively, primarily due to the $120 million after-tax impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2006 in connection with the Fastening Systems business. This charge was partially offset by the $19 million and $38 million impact of suspending depreciation and amortization on the assets held for sale in the Fastening Systems business for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Outlook
 
We expect continued year-over-year growth in revenues and segment profit in 2006 compared to 2005. At Cessna, we anticipate another strong year of business jet deliveries in 2006 resulting in increases in total revenues and profit. At Bell, we expect revenues for the full year to increase over 2005, as armored security vehicle ("ASV") deliveries remain on track to meet our commitments. Bell's profit margin is expected to decrease primarily due to certain nonrecurring items that benefited the 2005 results. In the Industrial segment, we continue to expect higher margins in 2006 compared to 2005, while revenues are expected to remain essentially flat. Finance segment revenues and profits are expected to increase with continued growth in finance receivables and relative stability in credit quality.

Bell Revenues
 
U.S. Government Business
 
U.S. Government revenues decreased $13 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to lower volume of $152 million from the V-22 program, partially offset by increased ASV deliveries of $65 million, higher spares and service revenue of $35 million and additional revenue from the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter ("ARH") program of $31 million.
 
U.S. Government revenues increased $164 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to increased ASV deliveries of $118 million, higher revenue of $58 million from the ARH program and higher spares and service revenue of $39 million, partially offset by lower revenue of $66 million from the V-22 program.
 
Commercial Business
 
Commercial revenues increased $32 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher civil aircraft sales of $40 million and higher spares and service sales of $27 million, partially offset by lower international military revenue of $13 million and a decrease in used aircraft sales of $11 million.
 
Commercial revenues increased $22 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher civil aircraft sales of $107 million and higher spares and service volume of $31 million, partially offset by lower international military sales of $86 million and lower Huey II kit sales of $11 million.

Bell Segment Profit
 
U.S. Government Business
 
Profit in the U.S. Government business decreased $5 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, as higher profit of $11 million on the ASV program, was more than offset by the $13 million impact of lower V-22 deliveries and a $6 million charge on the ARH program for unreimbursed launch-related costs.
 
Profit in the U.S. Government business increased $5 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher profit of $18 million from the ASV program, principally due to volume, partially offset by the $13 million impact of estimated incremental costs recorded in the first quarter of 2006 for resources added to the H-1 LRIP contract to meet customer schedule requirements.
 
While the estimated incremental costs for the H-1 LRIP will be expended over the next several quarters, the impact was recorded in the first quarter of 2006 as the contract is in a loss position.  In May 2006, a Defense Acquisition Board meeting was held to assess overall performance of the H-1 program. Subsequent to this meeting, the Department of Defense has authorized Bell to proceed with Lot III production. 
 
During the first quarter of 2006, the U.S. Government completed a review of Bell Helicopter's earned value management system. This review identified deficiencies in certain areas. As a result, Bell Helicopter is not allowed to claim it has a compliant earned value management system in proposals, and it also is subject to increased withholding on progress payments. In the second quarter of 2006, Bell and the U.S. Government reached an agreement on a corrective action plan to address all the deficiencies identified in this review. Textron does not expect this matter to have a material financial impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations.
 
Commercial Business
 
Commercial profit decreased $13 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to higher net engineering expense of $19 million, principally due to lower co-development income from risk-sharing partners, costs related to production ramp-up activities of approximately $12 million and increased commissions and other sales activities of $5 million. These decreases were partially offset by the $11 million contribution from higher sales of civil aircraft, primarily due to volume, higher spares and service sales of $5 million and a $5 million favorable impact of a warranty provision recorded at Lycoming in the second quarter of 2005.
 
Commercial profit decreased $29 million in the first half of 2006, compared to 2005, primarily due to the $27 million impact of lower international military sales, higher net engineering expense of $24 million, principally due to lower co-development income from risk-sharing partners, and costs related to production ramp-up activities of approximately $16 million. These decreases were partially offset by the $34 million impact from higher sales of civil aircraft and the $5 million favorable impact of the Lycoming warranty provision recorded in 2005.

We believe that nonperforming assets generally will be in the range of 1% to 4% of finance assets depending on economic conditions. Nonperforming assets remained relatively unchanged from the end of 2005 with improvements in resort finance and the liquidating portfolios, offset by an increase in asset-based lending. The increase in asset-based lending was the result of two loans, which we do not believe represents a trend.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Textron's financings are conducted through two borrowing groups: Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance. This framework is designed to enhance Textron's borrowing power by separating the Finance segment. To support creditors in evaluating the separate borrowing groups, Textron presents separate balance sheets and statements of cash flows for each borrowing group. Textron Manufacturing consists of Textron Inc., the parent company, consolidated with the entities that operate in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial business segments, whose financial results are a reflection of the ability to manage and finance the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services. Textron Finance consists of Textron's wholly owned commercial finance subsidiary, Textron Financial Corporation, consolidated with its subsidiaries. The financial results of Textron Finance are a reflection of its ability to provide financial services in a competitive marketplace, at appropriate pricing, while managing the associated financial risks. The fundamental differences between each borrowing group's activities result in different measures used by investors, rating agencies and analysts.


20.


 
Item 2.
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


 
A portion of Textron Finance's business involves financing retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by Textron Manufacturing's Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments. The cash flows related to these captive financing activities are reflected as operating activities (by Textron Manufacturing) and as investing activities (by Textron Finance) based on each group's operations. These captive financing transactions have been eliminated and cash from customers or from securitizations is recognized in operating activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows when received.
 
Textron Manufacturing's debt (net of cash)-to-capital ratio as of July 1, 2006 was 34%, compared with 26% at December 31, 2005. The higher ratio in 2006 is primarily due to the decrease in cash largely attributed to $598 million in share repurchases in the first half of 2006. Textron Manufacturing's gross debt-to-capital ratio as of July 1, 2006 was 38%, compared with 37% at December 31, 2005. Textron Manufacturing has established a gross debt-to-capital ratio target in the mid-thirties.
 
For liquidity purposes, Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance have a policy of maintaining sufficient unused lines of credit to support their outstanding commercial paper. Textron Manufacturing has a primary revolving credit facility of $1.3 billion that expires in 2011. Textron Finance is permitted to borrow under this facility. Textron Finance also has bank lines of credit totaling $1.8 billion that expire in 2011. None of these lines of credit were drawn at July 1, 2006 or at December 31, 2005. At July 1, 2006, the lines of credit not reserved as support for outstanding commercial paper or letters of credit were $1.2 billion for Textron Manufacturing and $31 million for Textron Finance, compared with $1.2 billion and $300 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.
 
At July 1, 2006, Textron Finance had $2.9 billion in debt and $424 million in other liabilities that are due within the next twelve months.

The consolidated operating cash flows of continuing operations decreased $317 million in the first half of 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase of $133 million in income from continuing operations was more than offset by a $290 million increase in cash used for inventories, primarily in our aircraft businesses related to higher demand from our military and commercial customers, and a $159 million use of cash due to a net increase in captive finance receivables related to Textron Manufacturing products, principally due to higher finance receivables originations. The net captive financing activity (cash outflows from finance receivable originations, net of cash flows from repayments, sales and securitizations) between Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance is excluded from the consolidated cash flows.

Dividends received by Textron Manufacturing from Textron Finance have been eliminated from the consolidated operating cash flows, and net captive financing activities have been reclassified from investing cash flows, as discussed below.

The consolidated cash flows from financing activities reflect the financing cash flows of Textron Manufacturing and Textron Finance after the elimination of the dividends paid by Textron Finance to Textron Manufacturing. For Textron Manufacturing, the decrease in financing cash flows is primarily due to $354 million in additional purchases of Textron common stock and $125 million in net paydowns of its short-term debt, partially offset by $75 million in higher proceeds from employee stock ownership plans. For Textron Finance, the increase in cash flows was primarily attributable to a net increase in debt outstanding to fund asset growth.
 
Principal Payments on Long-Term Debt
In the first half of 2006 and 2005, Textron Manufacturing made principal payments of $3 million and $416 million, respectively. The principal payments in the first half of 2005 reflect the maturity of EUR 300 million in debt that was refinanced with EUR 300 million 3.875% notes that mature in March 2013. In the first half of 2006 and 2005, Textron Finance made principal payments of $652 million and $579 million, respectively.
 
Stock Repurchases and Proceeds from Stock Option Exercises
In the first half of 2006 and 2005, Textron repurchased 6,979,672 and 3,171,428 shares of common stock, respectively, under its Board authorized share repurchase programs for an aggregate cost of $610 million and $239 million, respectively. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options increased $75 million to $143 million in the first half of 2006 as more options were exercised.
 
Dividends
On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a $0.15 per share increase in Textron's annualized common stock dividend to $1.55 per share and, accordingly, approved a quarterly dividend per common share of $0.3875 in the first and second quarters of 2006 compared with $0.35 in the first and second quarters of 2005. Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $147 million and $142 million in the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cash flows from discontinued operations include Textron Manufacturing's Fastening Systems, OmniQuip and InteSys businesses, and Textron Finance's small business finance operation. The change in operating cash flow is primarily attributed to a decrease in working capital in the Fastening Systems business. Investing cash flows principally includes capital expenditures for the Fastening Systems business, which were offset in the first half of 2005 upon the receipt of $15 million related to the sale of the remainder of the InteSys operations.
 
Capital Resources
 
Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Textron Finance may issue public debt securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $4.0 billion. Under this registration statement, Textron Finance issued term debt of $925 million and CAD 100 million during the first half of 2006. The proceeds of these issuances were used to fund receivable growth and repay short-term debt. At July 1, 2006, Textron Finance had $757 million available under this registration statement. Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Textron Manufacturing may issue public debt securities in one or more offerings up to a total maximum offering of $2.0 billion. At July 1, 2006, Textron Manufacturing had $1.6 billion available under this registration statement.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Textron Manufacturing enters into a forward contract in Textron common stock on an annual basis. The contract is intended to hedge the cash volatility of stock-based incentive compensation indexed to Textron common stock. The forward contract requires an annual cash settlement between the counter parties based upon a number of shares multiplied by the difference between the strike price and the prevailing Textron common stock price. A cash payment of approximately $12 million was received in January 2006 upon the settlement of the contract held at year-end. As of July 1, 2006, the contract was for approximately 1.5 million shares with a strike price of $77.62. The market price of Textron's common stock closed at $92.18 on June 30, 2006, resulting in a receivable of $22 million.
 
Textron Finance sells finance receivables utilizing both securitizations and whole-loan sales. As a result of these transactions, finance receivables are removed from the balance sheet and the proceeds received are used to reduce the recorded debt levels. Despite the reduction in the recorded balance sheet position, Textron Finance generally retains a subordinated interest in the finance receivables sold through securitizations, which may affect operating results through periodic fair value adjustments. Textron Finance utilizes these off-balance sheet financing arrangements (primarily asset-backed securitizations) to further diversify funding alternatives. These arrangements are an important source of funding that provided net proceeds of $50 million and $227 million during the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Textron Finance has used the proceeds from these arrangements to fund the origination of new finance receivables.

Guarantees
 
Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland North America Inc. ("AWNA") formed the AgustaWestlandBell LLC ("AWB LLC") in January 2004 for the joint design, development, manufacture, sale, customer training and product support of the US101 helicopter, subsequently designated the VH-71 helicopter, and certain variations and derivatives thereof, to be offered and sold to departments or agencies of the U.S. Government.
 
In March 2005, AWB LLC received a $1.2 billion cost reimbursement-type subcontract from Lockheed Martin for the System Development and Demonstration phase of the U.S. Marine Corps Marine 1 Helicopter Squadron (VH-71) Program. On March 11, 2005, Bell Helicopter guaranteed to Lockheed Martin the due and prompt performance by AWB LLC of all its obligations under this subcontract, provided that Bell Helicopter's liability under the guaranty shall not exceed 49% of AWB LLC's aggregate liability to Lockheed Martin under the subcontract. AgustaWestland N.V., AWNA's parent company, has guaranteed the remaining 51% to Lockheed Martin. Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland N.V. have entered into cross-indemnification agreements in which each party indemnifies the other related to any payments required under these agreements that result from the indemnifying party's workshare under any subcontracts received.
 
For 2006, AWB LLC's maximum obligation is 40% of the total contract value, which equates to $464 million based on the current contract value of $1.2 billion, and thereafter increases to 50%, or $580 million. Accordingly, the maximum amount of Bell Helicopter's liability under the guarantee will be $227 million in 2006 and $284 million thereafter through completion.
 
As disclosed under the caption "Guarantees" in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Textron has issued or is party to certain other guarantees. As of July 1, 2006, there have been no material changes to these other guarantees.
 
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140". This Statement requires evaluation of all interests in securitized financial assets to determine whether they represent either freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. These interests were previously exempted from such evaluation in SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 permits any hybrid instrument, such as an interest in securitized financial assets containing an embedded derivative, to be accounted for at fair value as opposed to bifurcating and accounting for the embedded derivative separate from the host instrument. This Statement also amends SFAS No. 140 by eliminating restrictions on a qualifying special purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests that are, or contain, a derivative financial instrument. Textron will adopt this Statement in the first quarter of 2007, and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


 
In March 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An amendment of FASB Statement No. 140". This Statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to, and over, the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation. The option to subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value will allow entities which utilize derivative instruments to hedge their servicing rights to account for such hedging relationships at fair value and avoid the complications of hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Textron does not utilize derivative instruments to hedge its servicing rights as of July 1, 2006. Textron will adopt this Statement in the first quarter of 2007, and will utilize the amortization method to subsequently measure its servicing rights. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on Textron's financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This Interpretation provides a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Textron will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Textron is currently assessing the impact of this Interpretation on Textron's financial position and results of operations.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 13-2 "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction". This Staff Position amends SFAS No. 13 "Accounting for Leases" and requires a recalculation of returns on leveraged leases if there is a change or projected change in the timing of cash flows related to income taxes generated by the leveraged lease. In accordance with this guidance, the difference between the revised calculation of earnings since lease inception and the actual amount of cumulative earnings recognized is recorded in income from continuing operations. Textron is required to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2007. Upon adoption, any change in the projected cash flows will be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings.  The Internal Revenue Service has challenged both the ability to accelerate the timing of tax deductions and the amounts of those deductions related to certain leveraged lease transactions with an initial investment of approximately $167 million within the Finance segment. Textron is currently assessing the impact of this Staff Position on Textron's financial position and results of operations.
 
Foreign Exchange Risks
 
Textron's financial results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which products are manufactured and/or sold. For the first half of 2006, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes from the first half of 2005 decreased revenues by approximately $29 million (1%) and had essentially no impact on segment profit.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
 
 
There has been no significant change in Textron's exposure to market risk during the first half of 2006. For discussion of Textron's exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk contained in Textron's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
 
Item 4.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 
 
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
 
There were no changes in Textron's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1A.
 
RISK FACTORS
 
 
Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those discussed below, which may affect the value of our securities. The risks discussed below are those that we believe are currently the most significant, although additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant may also impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially.
 
We may be unable to effectively mitigate pricing pressures.
 
In some markets, particularly where we deliver component products and services to original equipment manufacturers, we face ongoing customer demands for price reductions, which are sometimes contractually obligated. In some cases, we are able to offset these reductions through technological advances or by lowering our cost base through improved operating and supply chain efficiencies. However, if we are unable to effectively mitigate future pricing pressures, our financial results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
Delays in aircraft delivery schedules or cancellation of orders may adversely affect our financial results.
 
Aircraft customers, including sellers of fractional share interests, may respond to weak economic conditions by delaying delivery of orders or canceling orders. Weakness in the economy may also result in fewer hours flown on existing aircraft and, consequently, lower demand for spare parts and maintenance. Weak economic conditions may also cause reduced demand for used business jets or helicopters. We may accept used aircraft on trade-in that would be subject to fluctuations in the fair market value of the aircraft while in inventory. Reduced demand for new and used aircraft, spare parts and maintenance can have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
 
Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.
 
Delays or cost overruns in the development and acceptance of new products, or certification of new aircraft products and other products, could affect our financial results of operations. These delays could be caused by unanticipated technological hurdles, production changes to meet customer demands, coordination with joint venture partners or failure on the part of our suppliers to deliver components as agreed. We also could be adversely affected if the general efficacy of our research and development investments to develop products is less than expected.


28.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

 
We have customer concentration with the U.S. Government.
 
During 2005, we derived approximately 18% of our revenues from sales to a variety of U.S. Government entities. Our ability to compete successfully for and retain this business is highly dependent on technical excellence, management proficiency, strategic alliances, cost-effective performance and the ability to recruit and retain key personnel. U.S. Government programs are subject to uncertain future funding levels, which can result in the extension or termination of programs. Our business is also highly sensitive to changes in national and international priorities and U.S. Government budgets.
 
U.S. Government contracts may be terminated at any time and may contain other unfavorable provisions.
 
The U.S. Government typically can terminate or modify any of its contracts with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.
 
If any of our contracts are terminated by the U.S. Government, our backlog would be reduced, in accordance with contract terms, by the expected value of the remaining work under such contracts, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, on those contracts for which we are teamed with others and are not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate a prime contract under which we are a subcontractor, irrespective of the quality of our products and services as a subcontractor.
 
In addition to these termination provisions, our U.S. Government contracts contain provisions that allow the U.S. Government to unilaterally suspend us from receiving new contracts pending resolution of alleged violations of procurement laws or regulations, reduce the value of existing contracts, issue modifications to a contract, and control and potentially prohibit the export of our products, services and associated materials.
 
Cost overruns on U.S. Government contracts could subject us to losses or adversely affect our future business.
 
Contract and program accounting require judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. Incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees are also used in estimating sales and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards.
 
Because of the significance of the estimates described above, it is likely that different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future financial results of operations.
 


29.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
 
Under fixed-price contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur, and consequently, any costs in excess of the fixed price are absorbed by us. Under time and materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses. Under cost reimbursement contracts, which are subject to a contract-ceiling amount, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance based. However, if our costs exceed the contract ceiling or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or applicable regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all such costs. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control costs we incur in performing under the contract, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Cost overruns also may adversely affect our ability to sustain existing programs and obtain future contract awards.
 
 
We may make acquisitions that increase the risks of our business.
 
We may enter into acquisitions in the future in an effort to enhance shareholder value. Acquisitions involve a certain amount of risks and uncertainties that could result in our not achieving expected benefits. Such risks include difficulties in integrating newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner; challenges in achieving expected strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits; the risk that the acquired businesses' markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets; the risk that we pay a purchase price that exceeds what the future results of operations would have merited; the potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses; and the risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations.
 
Our operations could be adversely affected by interruptions of production that are beyond our control.
 
Our business and financial results may be affected by certain events that we cannot anticipate or that are beyond our control, such as natural disasters and national emergencies, that could curtail production at our facilities and cause delayed deliveries and cancelled orders. In addition, we purchase components and raw materials and information technology and other services from numerous suppliers, and even if our facilities are not directly affected by such events, we could be affected by interruptions at such suppliers. Such suppliers may be less likely than our own facilities to be able to quickly recover from such events, and may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations.
 
Our business could be adversely affected by strikes or work stoppages and other labor issues.
 
Approximately 18,500 of our employees are unionized, which represented approximately 40% of our employees at December 31, 2005, including employees of the discontinued business of Textron Fastening Systems. As a result, we may experience work stoppages, which could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, resulting in strain on our relationships with our customers and a loss of revenues. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in responding to competitive pressures in the marketplace, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
 
In addition to our workforce, the workforces of many of our customers and suppliers are represented by labor unions. Work stoppages or strikes at the plants of our key customers could result in delayed or cancelled orders for our products. Work stoppages and strikes at the plants of our key suppliers could disrupt our manufacturing processes. Any of these results could adversely affect our financial results of operations.
 


30.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

 
Our Textron Finance borrowing group's business is dependent on its continuing access to the capital markets.
 
Our financings are conducted through two borrowing groups, Textron Finance and Textron Manufacturing. Textron Finance consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, which are the entities through which we operate in the Finance segment. Textron Finance relies on its access to the capital markets to fund asset growth, fund operations and meet debt obligations and other commitments. Textron Finance raises funds through commercial paper borrowings, issuances of medium-term notes and other term debt securities, and syndication and securitization of receivables. Additional liquidity is provided to Textron Finance through bank lines of credit. Much of the capital markets funding is made possible by the maintenance of credit ratings that are acceptable to investors. If the credit ratings of Textron Finance were to be lowered, it might face higher borrowing costs, a disruption of its access to the capital markets or both. Textron Finance could also lose access to financing for other reasons, such as a general disruption of the capital markets. Any disruption of Textron Finance's access to the capital markets could adversely affect its business and our profitability.
 
If Textron Finance is unable to maintain portfolio credit quality, our financial performance could be adversely affected.
 
A key determinant of financial performance at Textron Finance will be its ability to maintain the quality of loans, leases and other credit products in its finance asset portfolios. Portfolio quality may adversely be affected by several factors, including finance receivable underwriting procedures, collateral quality, geographic or industry concentrations, or general economic downturns. Any inability by Textron Finance to successfully collect its finance receivable portfolio and to resolve problem accounts may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability, and financial condition.
 
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims.
 
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims relating to private sector transactions; government contracts; production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental contamination. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our being suspended or debarred from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect our financial position or our results of operations in any particular period.
 


31.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

 
The levels of our reserves are subject to many uncertainties and may not be adequate to cover writedowns or losses.
 
In addition to reserves at Textron Finance, we establish reserves in our manufacturing segments to cover uncollectible accounts receivable, excess or obsolete inventory, fair market value writedowns on used aircraft and golf cars, recall campaigns, warranty costs and litigation. These reserves are subject to adjustment from time to time depending on actual experience and are subject to many uncertainties, including bankruptcy or other financial problems at key customers.
 
In the case of litigation matters for which reserves have not been established because the loss is not deemed probable, it is reasonably possible such matters could be decided against us and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are not presently estimable.
 
The effect on our financial results of many of these factors depends in some cases on our ability to obtain insurance covering potential losses at reasonable rates.
 
Currency, raw material price and interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results.
 
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, raw material prices and interest rates. We monitor and manage these exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we purchase derivatives or enter into contracts to insulate our financial results of operations from these fluctuations. Nevertheless, changes in currency exchange rates, raw material prices and interest rates can have substantial adverse effects on our financial results of operations.
 
The increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect our results.
 
Our earnings and cash flow may be impacted by the amount of income or expense we expend or record for employee benefit plans. This is particularly true for our pension plans, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns and factors used to determine the value and current costs of plan benefit obligations.
 
In addition, medical costs are rising at a rate faster than the general inflation rate. Continued medical cost inflation in excess of the general inflation rate increases the risk that we will not be able to mitigate the rising costs of medical benefits. Increases to the costs of pension and medical benefits could have an adverse effect on our financial results of operations.
 
Unanticipated changes in Textron's tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
 
We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, and our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among these different jurisdictions. Our effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or in tax laws, which could affect our profitability. In particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income. In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to audits in various jurisdictions, and a material assessment by a tax authority could affect our profitability.
