TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Tyco"). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD") and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The results reported in these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K").
References to 2014 and 2013 are to Tyco's fiscal quarters ending December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.
The Company has a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 are both 52-week years.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance clarifying the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance clarifies that the scope of the disclosures applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance for derivatives and hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that either offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement. The guidance is applied retrospectively and became effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The amendment did not change the current requirements for reporting net income or Other comprehensive income ("OCI") in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, of the significant reclassifications out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the amendment requires a cross-reference to other disclosures under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance became effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and additional disclosures are provided in Note 13.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to resolve diversity in practice on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance requires that the parent release any CTA into net income when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity which results in a substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity; when the sale of an investment in a foreign entity results in the loss of a controlling financial interest; or where an acquirer obtains control of an acquiree in which it had an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA into net income upon a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The guidance will be effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing of its adoption along with what impact, if any, the guidance will have upon adoption.
In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If the NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose,

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance does not require any additional recurring disclosures and will be effective for Tyco the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the guidance will have upon adoption.
2.    2012 Separation Transaction
On September 28, 2012, the Company completed the spin-offs of The ADT Corporation ("ADT") and Pentair Ltd. (formerly known as Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. ("Tyco Flow Control")), formerly the North American residential security and flow control businesses of Tyco, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders.
In connection with activities taken to complete the 2012 Separation and to create the revised organizational structure of the Company, the Company incurred pre-tax charges ("Separation Charges") of $15 million and $14 million during the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively. The amounts presented within discontinued operations are costs directly related to the 2012 Separation that are not expected to provide a future benefit to the Company. The components of the Separation Charges incurred within continuing operations and discontinued operations consisted of the following ($ in millions):

3.    Divestitures
The Company continually assesses the strategic fit of its various businesses and from time to time divests businesses which do not align with its long-term strategy.
Fiscal 2014
During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its Armourguard business in New Zealand and its fire and security business in Fiji, both of which were in its ROW Installation & Services segment, for an immaterial amount. These businesses were accounted for as held for sale as of September 27, 2013, however, the assets and

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


liabilities have not been presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and these businesses have not been presented in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented because the amounts were not material.
Fiscal 2013
On September 28, 2012, Tyco completed the 2012 Separation. See Note 2 for additional information. At the time of the 2012 Separation, the Company used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to the transaction. In limited instances, final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods, such as in the case of when final income tax returns are filed in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco, ADT and/or Tyco Flow Control legal entities. During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, $40 million was recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity as Other, primarily related to a cash true-up adjustment paid to ADT. During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, there were no adjustments recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. Any additional adjustments are not expected to be material.
Divestiture Gains, Net
For the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company recorded a net gain of $3 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily related to a favorable judgment received with respect to a former business which was divested.
For the quarter ended December 28, 2012, the Company recorded a net gain of $3 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily related to the favorable settlement of an indemnification resulting from the divestiture of the Company's Electrical and Metal Products business.
4.    Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company identified and pursued opportunities for cost savings through restructuring activities and workforce reductions to improve operating efficiencies across the Company's businesses. The Company expects to incur restructuring and restructuring related charges in the range of $50 million to $75 million in fiscal 2014, which does not include repositioning charges as described below.
The Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges by action and Consolidated Statement of Operations classification as follows ($ in millions):

Repositioning
The Company has initiated certain global actions designed to reduce its cost structure and improve future profitability by streamlining operations and better aligning functions, which the Company refers to as repositioning actions. These actions may or may not lead to a future restructuring action. During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company recorded repositioning charges of $6 million primarily related to professional fees which have been reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no repositioning charges incurred during the quarter ended December 28, 2012.

5.    Acquisitions
Acquisitions
During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, total consideration included in continuing operations was $57 million which was comprised of $54 million cash paid, net of $1 million cash acquired, and $2 million of contingent consideration which was entirely related to the acquisition of Westfire, Inc. ("Westfire") on November 8, 2013. Westfire, a fire protection services company with operations in the United States, Chile and Peru, provides critical special-hazard suppression and detection applications in mining, telecommunications and other vertical markets and will be integrated with the NA Installation & Services and ROW Installation & Services segments.
During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, cash paid for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaled $23 million, which is related to an acquisition within the Company's NA Installation & Services segment.
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs
Acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred acquisition and integration costs of $1 million for both the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012. Such costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
6.    Income Taxes
Tyco did not have a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter ended December 27, 2013.
Many of Tyco's uncertain tax positions relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in U.S. federal, state and local or foreign jurisdictions. Open tax years in significant jurisdictions are as follows:
Jurisdiction
Years Open
To Audit
Australia
2004-2013
Canada
2005-2013
Germany
2005-2013
South Korea
2006-2013
Switzerland
2004-2013
United Kingdom
2011-2013
United States
1997-2013
Based on the current status of its income tax audits, Tyco believes that it is reasonably possible that between nil and $35 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months.
At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not that Tyco's deferred tax assets will be realized and if sufficient future taxable income will be available by assessing current period and projected operating results and other pertinent data. As of December 27, 2013, Tyco recorded deferred tax assets of approximately $173 million, which is comprised of $2.2 billion gross deferred tax assets net of $2.0 billion valuation allowances.
Tax Sharing Agreement and Other Income Tax Matters
In connection with the 2012 and 2007 Separations, Tyco entered into the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements, respectively, that govern the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Tyco, Pentair and ADT after the 2012 Separation and Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity after the 2007 Separation with respect to taxes. Specifically this includes ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the respective distributions to qualify tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.
Under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco, Pentair and ADT share (i) certain pre-Distribution income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to ADT's, Tyco Flow Control's and Tyco's income tax returns, and (ii) payments required to be made by Tyco with respect to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, excluding approximately $175

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


million of pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities that were anticipated to be paid prior to the 2012 Separation (collectively, "Shared Tax Liabilities"). Tyco will be responsible for the first $500 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Pentair and ADT will share 42% and 58%, respectively, of the next $225 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Tyco, Pentair and ADT will share 52.5%, 20% and 27.5%, respectively, of Shared Tax Liabilities above $725 million. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities will generally be shared 20%, 27.5%, and 52.5% by Pentair, ADT and Tyco, respectively. As of September 28, 2012, Tyco established liabilities representing the fair market value of its obligations under the 2012 Tax Sharing Arrangement which is recorded in other liabilities in Tyco's Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offset to Tyco shareholders' equity.
Under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco shares responsibility for certain of its, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's income tax liabilities, which result in cash payments, based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. In connection with the execution of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco established a net receivable from Covidien and TE Connectivity representing the amount Tyco expected to receive for pre-2007 Separation uncertain tax positions, including amounts owed to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Tyco also established liabilities representing the fair market value of its share of Covidien's and TE Connectivity's estimated obligations, primarily to the IRS, for their pre-2007 Separation taxes covered by the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement.
Tyco assesses the shared tax liabilities and related guaranteed liabilities related to both the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements at each reporting period. Tyco will provide payment to Pentair and ADT under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement and Covidien and TE Connectivity under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement as the shared income tax liabilities are settled. Settlement is expected to occur as the tax audit and legal processes are completed for the impacted years and cash payments are made. Due to the nature of the unresolved adjustments described in the next paragraph, the maximum amount of future payments under the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements is not known. Such cash payments, when they occur, will reduce the guarantor liability as such payments represent an equivalent reduction of risk. Tyco also assesses the sufficiency of the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements guarantee liabilities on a quarterly basis and will increase the liability when it is probable that cash payments expected to be made under the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements exceed the recorded balance.
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and Tyco's liabilities under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement are further subject to the sharing provisions in the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion. Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and had filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion, which is also expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
As noted above, Tyco has assessed its obligations under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement to determine that its recorded liability is sufficient to cover the indemnifications made by it under such agreement. In the absence of observable transactions for identical or similar guarantees, Tyco determined the fair value of these guarantees and indemnifications utilizing expected present value measurement techniques. Significant assumptions utilized to determine fair value included determining a range of potential outcomes, assigning a probability weighting to each potential outcome and estimating the anticipated timing of resolution. The probability weighted outcomes were discounted using Tyco's incremental borrowing rate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material adverse impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or the effective tax rate in future reporting periods.
In addition to dealing with tax liabilities for periods prior to the respective Separations, the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements contain sharing provisions to address the contingencies that the 2012 or 2007 Separations, or internal transactions related thereto, may be deemed taxable by U.S. or non U.S. taxing authorities. In the event the 2012 Separation is determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the 2012 Separations by Tyco, ADT or Pentair, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on each company as a result thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken by Tyco, ADT or Pentair after the 2012 Separation, then Tyco, ADT and Pentair would be responsible for any taxes imposed on any of the companies as a result of such determination in the same manner and in the same proportions as described above. Similar provisions exist in the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. If either of the 2007 or 2012 Separation, or internal transactions taken in anticipation thereof, were deemed taxable, the associated liability could be significant. Tyco is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements sharing formulas. In addition, Pentair and ADT, and Covidien and TE Connectivity are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements' sharing formula, respectively.
Each of the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements provides that, if any party to such agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party to the agreement would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party to the agreement, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, Tyco could be liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, Tyco may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of its agreed-upon share of its tax liabilities under either of the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements.
The receivables and liabilities related to the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, are as follows ($ in millions):

Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco, ADT and Pentair are each responsible for issuing their own shares upon employee exercise of a stock option award or vesting of a restricted unit award. However, the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement provides that any allowable compensation tax deduction for such awards is to be claimed by the employee's current employer. The 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement requires the employer claiming a tax deduction for shares issued by the other companies to pay a percentage of the allowable tax deduction to the company issuing the equity.
During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, Tyco incurred a charge of $3 million to make payments to ADT and Pentair based on estimated allowable deductions for ADT and Pentair shares issued to Company employees, offset by income of $1 million to be received from ADT and Pentair for Company shares issued to their employees, resulting in a net impact of approximately $2 million.
Other Income Tax Matters
Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional material provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, since the earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or Tyco has concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings. A liability could arise if amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed of. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

Fair Value
The carrying amount of Tyco's debt subject to the fair value disclosure requirements as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013 was $1,603 million and $1,443 million, respectively. The Company has determined the fair value of such debt to be $1,808 million and $1,676 million as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, respectively. The Company utilizes various valuation methodologies to determine the fair value of its debt, which is primarily dependent on the type of market in which the Company's debt is traded. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of its debt that is traded in active markets. As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, the fair value of the Company's debt which was actively traded was $1,648 million and $1,676 million, respectively. As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, the Company's debt that was actively traded and subject to the fair value disclosure requirements is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the Company believes the carrying amount of its commercial paper of $160 million as of December 27, 2013, approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of such debt.
Commercial paper
From time to time Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA") may issue commercial paper for general corporate purposes. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued on a private placement basis under the commercial paper program is $1 billion as of December 27, 2013. As of December 27, 2013, TIFSA had $160 million of commercial paper outstanding, which bore interest at a weighted-average rate of 0.31%. As of September 27, 2013, TIFSA had no commercial paper outstanding.
Credit Facilities
The Company's committed revolving credit facility totaled $1 billion as of December 27, 2013. This revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As of December 27, 2013 there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facility, although the Company had dedicated $160 million of availability to backstop outstanding commercial paper. As of September 27, 2013 there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facility. Interest under the revolving credit facility is variable and is calculated by reference to LIBOR or an alternate base rate.

10.    Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, debt and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013. The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material to any of the periods presented. See below for the fair value of investments and Note 9 for the fair value of debt.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, Tyco is exposed to market risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity risks. The Company's objective for utilizing derivative financial instruments is to manage these risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of and during the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company did not hold or enter into any commodity derivative instruments or interest rate swaps.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, the Company documents and links the relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items. The Company also assesses and documents at the hedge's inception whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are effective in offsetting changes in fair values associated with the hedged items. For the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated and qualified as hedging instrument for accounting purposes.
Foreign Currency Exposures
The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments comprised principally of forward contracts on foreign currency which are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The objective of the derivative instruments is to minimize the income statement impact and potential variability in cash flows associated with intercompany loans, accounts receivable, accounts payable and forecasted transactions that are denominated in certain foreign currencies. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments and impact of such changes in the fair value was not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013 or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012. As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, the total gross notional amount of the Company's foreign exchange contracts was $322 million and $278 million, respectively.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk. Tyco has established policies and procedures to limit the potential for counterparty credit risk, including establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. As a matter of practice, the Company deals with major banks worldwide having strong investment grade long-term credit ratings. To further reduce the risk of loss, the Company generally enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreements with substantially all of its counterparties. The Company's derivative contracts do not contain any credit risk related contingent features and do not require collateral or other security to be furnished by the Company or the counterparties. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with its derivative instruments is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes. We do not anticipate any non-performance by any of our counterparties, and the concentration of risk with financial institutions does not present significant credit risk to the Company.
Investments
Investments primarily include U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities. Such investments are included in Level 1. When quoted market prices are not readily available, pricing determinations are made based on the results of market approach valuation models using observable market data such as recently reported trades, bid and offer information and benchmark securities. These investments are included in Level 2 and consist primarily of U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.

Other
The Company recorded a $7 million loss on the sale of an investment during the quarter ended December 27, 2013.
Additionally, the Company had $2 billion of intercompany loans designated as permanent in nature as of both December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, respectively. For the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, the Company recorded $12 million and $22 million of cumulative translation gain, respectively, through accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these loans.
11.    Commitments and Contingencies
Legacy Matters Related to Former Management
The Company has been a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, including its former chief executive officer, Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, and its former chief financial officer, Mr. Mark Swartz. The Company filed civil complaints against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct relating to alleged abuses of the Company's Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program, unauthorized bonuses, unauthorized payments, self-dealing transactions and other improper conduct. In connection with Tyco's affirmative actions against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through a separate lawsuit, sought an aggregate of approximately $140 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").
With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Mr. Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the parties signed an agreement resolving the matter, with Mr. Kozlowski agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements, including the Key Employee Loan Program, alleged to have existed between him and the Company. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reversed the net liability of approximately $92 million which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


amounts allegedly due to him. Additionally, Tyco will be entitled to a portion of the proceeds, if any, from the future sale of certain assets owned by Mr. Kozlowski, the timing and amount of which is uncertain at this time.
With respect to Mr. Swartz, on March 3, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to liability for its affirmative actions and further ruled that issues related to damages would need to be resolved at trial. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed a $50 million liability related to Mr. Swartz's pay and benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On May 15, 2012, Mr. Swartz filed a lawsuit against Tyco in New York state court claiming entitlement to monies under ERISA. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Swartz's claims for multiple reasons, including that the statute of limitations had expired, at the latest, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. A trial to determine the Company's damages from Mr. Swartz's breaches of fiduciary duty concluded on October 17, 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court ruled that the Company was entitled to recover all monies earned by Mr. Swartz in connection with his employment by Tyco between September 1, 1995 and June 1, 2002. The Company filed a motion requesting the entry of monetary sum certain judgment in conformity with the Court's ruling regarding the time period of disgorgement. The motion also requested interest related to the monies Mr. Swartz was found to have unlawfully taken from the Company. In March 2013, the Court entered an order awarding the Company's request for interest. In connection with Mr. Swartz's affirmative claims against the Company, the Court dismissed all of Mr. Swartz's claims except one claim in which Mr. Swartz contends he is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for taxes he paid in connection with his 2002 Separation Agreement. In July 2013, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Swartz agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, a final settlement agreement has not yet been executed.
Environmental Matters
Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of December 27, 2013, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $42 million to $110 million. As of December 27, 2013, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $74 million, of which $51 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and $23 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The majority of the liabilities described above relate to ongoing remediation efforts at a facility in the Company's Global Products segment located in Marinette, Wisconsin, which the Company acquired in 1990 in connection with its acquisition of, among other things, the Ansul product line. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, Ansul manufactured arsenic-based agricultural herbicides at the Marinette facility, which resulted in significant arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater on the Marinette site and in parts of the adjoining Menominee River. Ansul has been engaged in ongoing remediation efforts at the Marinette site since 1990, and in February 2009 entered into an Administrative Consent Order (the "Consent Order") with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the presence of arsenic at the Marinette site. Under this agreement, Ansul's principal obligations are to contain the arsenic contamination on the site, pump and treat on-site groundwater, dredge, treat and properly dispose of contaminated sediments in the adjoining river areas, and monitor contamination levels on an ongoing basis. Activities completed under the Consent Order since 2009 include the installation of a subsurface barrier wall around the facility to contain contaminated groundwater, the installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system and the dredging and offsite disposal of treated river sediment. As of December 27, 2013, the Company concluded that its remaining remediation and monitoring costs related to the Marinette facility were in the range of approximately $31 million to $85 million. The Company's best estimate within that range is approximately $62 million, of which $48 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and $14 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, the Company recorded nil and $6 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. Although the Company has recorded its best estimate of the costs that it will incur to remediate and monitor the arsenic contamination at the Marinette facility, it is possible that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies or other factors could change the Company's expectations with respect to future charges and cash outlays, and such changes could be material to the Company's future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Asbestos Matters
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos containing components manufactured by third parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's historical strategy has been to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. In addition, the Company continues to assess its strategy for resolving asbestos claims. Due to the number of claims and limited amount of assets held by Yarway Corporation ("Yarway"), one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, on April 22, 2013 Yarway filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of this filing, all asbestos claims against Yarway have been stayed pending confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Yarway's goal is to negotiate, obtain approval of, and consummate a plan of reorganization that establishes an appropriately funded trust to provide for the fair and equitable payment of legitimate current and future Yarway asbestos claims, accompanied by appropriate injunctive relief permanently protecting Yarway and certain other protected parties from any further asbestos claims arising from products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Yarway. Upon confirmation of such plan of reorganization, the Company expects to deconsolidate Yarway. As a result of filing the voluntary petition during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded an expected loss upon deconsolidation of $10 million related to the Yarway bankruptcy petition. Although the terms of Yarway's plan of reorganization are unknown at this time, the Company does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
As of December 27, 2013, the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,300 claims pending against it, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. This amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against such entities and includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants, are duplicative of other actions or for which the Company is indemnified.
The Company's estimate of its liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience over a look-back period of three years, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed in the look-forward period of fifteen years. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, Tyco assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, Tyco considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. Tyco also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.
As of December 27, 2013, the Company's estimated net liability of $167 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $319 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million. The Company believes that its asbestos related liabilities and insurance related assets as of December 27, 2013 are appropriate. Similarly, as of September 27, 2013, the Company's estimated net liability of $169 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $321 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million.
The net liabilities reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the Company's best estimates of probable losses for the look-forward period described above. It is reasonably possible that losses will be incurred for claims made subsequent to such look-forward periods. However, due to the inherent uncertainty and lack of reliable trend data in predicting losses beyond 2027, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of losses beyond such period. With respect to claims made against Yarway, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate losses beyond what it has accrued because it is uncertain what the impact of Yarway's reorganization plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will be on the

20

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


Company. However, the Company does not expect the impact to be materially adverse to its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on the Company's strategies for resolving its asbestos claims, currently available information, and a number of estimates and assumptions. Key variables and assumptions include the number and type of new claims that are filed each year, the average cost of resolution of claims, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, amount of insurance, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Many of these factors are closely linked, such that a change in one variable or assumption will impact one or more of the others, and no single variable or assumption predominately influences the determination of the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty in the later portion of the projection period. Other factors that may affect the Company's liability and cash payments for asbestos-related matters include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms of state or federal tort legislation and the applicability of insurance policies among subsidiaries. As a result, actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company's calculations vary significantly from actual results.
Tax Matters
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Covidien and TE Connectivity (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") under which Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion. Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion, which is expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
See Note 6 for additional information related to income tax matters.
Other Matters
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Tyco settled a tax dispute with its former subsidiary, CIT Group, Inc. ("CIT"). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Tyco received $60 million during the quarter ended December 27, 2013 which is subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a $16 million gain

in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and established payables of $25 million and $19 million due to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively, as of December 27, 2013. The Company expects to make payment to Covidien and TE Connectivity in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
On December 18, 2013, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea issued a decision clarifying the definition of "ordinary wages," which in Korea form the basis for certain statutory entitlements due to workers upon the occurrence of specified events such as severance, disability and retirement. Although no lawsuit or claim has been asserted against the Company, the Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the ruling as well as new guidelines related to the scope of ordinary wages issued by the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor on January 23, 2014 may have on the Company. Although a risk of loss is reasonably possible, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate an amount or range of loss related to this matter at this time. Consequently, the Company has made no provision for the potential loss, if any. However, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse affect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.

The estimated net actuarial loss for U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the current fiscal year is expected to be $9 million. The estimated net actuarial loss for non-U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost over the current fiscal year is expected to be $13 million. Amortization of net periodic benefit cost from accumulated other comprehensive loss for non-U.S. pension benefit plans is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses, Cost of product sales, or Cost of services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the employee job classification.
The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which it operates and to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time-to-time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in fiscal year 2014 of $25 million for U.S. plans and $35 million for non-U.S. plans. During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company made required contributions of $3 million to its U.S. pension plans and $11 million to its non-U.S. pension plans.
Postretirement Benefit Plans—Net periodic postretirement benefit cost was not material for both periods.

13.    Equity and Comprehensive Income
Dividends
Under Swiss law, the authority to declare dividends is vested in the general meeting of shareholders, and on March 6, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.64 per share, payable to shareholders in four quarterly installments of $0.16 in May 2013, August 2013, November 2013 and February 2014.

In addition to the annual grant and in connection with the Separation, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board awarded as a one-time event Leadership Grants to selected employees in order to strengthen the alignment of the new senior management team with the shareholders of the post-Separation Company and to enhance employee retention. The total number of leadership awards issued was approximately 1.9 million, of which 1.5 million were stock options and 0.4 million were restricted unit awards. The options vest after a period of 3 years and restricted stock units vest in equal installments on the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. Performance share units, which are restricted share awards that vest dependent upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed targeted levels generally vest in their entirety three years from the grant date. The fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation model. The compensation expense recognized for all restricted share awards is net of estimated forfeitures.

18.    Guarantees
Certain of the Company's business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of nonperformance and we believe that performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Pentair in accordance with the terms of the 2007 and 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreements and Tax Sharing Agreements. These guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreements. See Note 6.
In addition, Tyco historically provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Tyco Flow Control operating entities. In connection with both the 2012 and 2007 Separations, the Company worked with the guarantee counterparties to cancel or assign these guarantees to Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT or Pentair, as appropriate. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned prior to the Separation dates, Tyco remained as the guarantor, but was typically indemnified by the former subsidiary. The Company's obligations related to the 2012 Separation were $3 million, which were included in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, with an offset to Tyco's shareholders' equity on the 2012 Separation date. The Company's obligations related to the 2007 Separation were $3 million, which were included in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, with an offset to Tyco's shareholders' equity on the 2007 Separation date.
In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities and

26

unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company has no reason to believe that these contingencies, if realized, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 11.
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

TIFSA, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, has public debt securities outstanding which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for Tyco, TIFSA and all other subsidiaries. Condensed financial information for Tyco and TIFSA on a stand-alone basis is presented using the equity method of accounting for subsidiaries.
During fiscal 2013, the Company transferred certain investments in subsidiaries from Tyco to TIFSA. There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as the transactions were entirely among wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco. The transactions, which increased TIFSA’s investment in subsidiaries, were among entities under common control and their effects have been reflected as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, which resulted in a net increase to TIFSA’s Equity in net income of subsidiaries of $5 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information".
Organization
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "we", the "Company" or "Tyco"). The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD"), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
We operate and report financial and operating information in the following three segments:
NA Installation & Services designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems and fire detection and suppression systems for commercial, industrial, retail, institutional and governmental customers in North America.
ROW Installation & Services designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems and fire detection and suppression systems for commercial, industrial, retail, residential, small business, institutional and governmental customers in the Rest of World regions.
Global Products designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including intrusion security, anti-theft devices, breathing apparatus and access control and video management systems, for commercial, industrial, retail, residential, small business, institutional and governmental customers worldwide, including products installed and serviced by our NA and ROW Installation & Services segments.
We also provide general corporate services to our segments which are reported as a fourth, non-operating segment, Corporate and Other. References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations.
Business Overview
We are a leading global provider of security products and services, fire detection and suppression products and services and life safety products. We utilize our extensive global footprint of over 1,100 locations, including manufacturing facilities, service and distribution centers, monitoring centers and sales offices, to provide solutions and localized expertise to our global customer base. We provide an extensive range of product and service offerings to over 3 million customers in more than 100 countries through multiple channels. Our revenues are broadly diversified across the United States and Canada (collectively “North America”); Central America and South America (collectively “Latin America”); Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (collectively “EMEA”) and the Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The following chart reflects our net revenue by geographic area for the quarter ended December 27, 2013.

Table of Contents                                            

For the Quarter Ended 
 December 27, 2013
Net Revenue by Geographic Area
Our end-use customers, to whom we may sell directly or through wholesalers, distributors, commercial builders or contractors, are also broadly diversified and include:
Commercial customers, including residential and commercial property developers, financial institutions, food service businesses and commercial enterprises;
Industrial customers, including companies in the oil and gas, power generation, mining, petrochemical and other industries;
Retail customers, including international, regional and local consumer outlets, from national chains to specialty stores;
Institutional customers, including a broad range of healthcare facilities, academic institutions, museums and foundations;
Governmental customers, including federal, state and local governments, defense installations, mass transportation networks, public utilities and other government-affiliated entities and applications;
Residential and small business customers outside of North America, including owners of single family homes and local providers of a wide range of goods and services.
As a global business with a varied customer base and an extensive range of products and services, our operations and results are impacted by global, regional and industry specific factors, and by political factors. Our geographic diversity and the diversity in our customer base and our products and services has helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Due to the global nature of our business and the variety of our customers, products and services, no single factor is predominantly used to forecast Company

results. Rather, management monitors a number of factors to develop expectations regarding future results, including the activity of key competitors and customers, order rates for longer lead time projects, and capital expenditure budgets and spending patterns of our customers. We also monitor trends throughout the commercial and residential fire and security markets, including building codes and fire-safety standards. Our commercial installation businesses are impacted by trends in commercial construction starts, while our residential business, which is located outside of the United States, is impacted by new housing starts.

Net Revenue
Net revenue for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased by $47 million, or 1.8%, to $2,647 million as compared to net revenue of $2,600 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. On an organic basis, net revenue grew by $39 million, or 1.5%, year over year, primarily as a result of revenue growth in our ROW Installation & Services segment and to a lesser extent in our Global Products segment. Net revenue was favorably impacted by acquisitions of $62 million, or 2.4%, primarily within our ROW Installation & Services and Global Products segments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in our ROW Installation & Services segment, unfavorably impacted net revenue by $30 million, or 1.2%. Net revenue growth was also unfavorably impacted by divestitures of $24 million, or 0.9% in our NA and ROW Installation & Services segments.
Operating Income
Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased by $139 million, or 59.1%, to $374 million, as compared to operating income of $235 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the reversal of a compensation reserve of $92 million established in respect of legacy litigation with former management and a settlement with CIT, a former subsidiary, which resulted in a net gain of $16 million. Operating income was also favorably impacted by improved operating performance across all segments and the impact of ongoing productivity initiatives and restructuring actions, partially offset by a loss on the sale of an investment. See Note 11 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our CIT settlement and legacy legal matters.

We continue to identify and pursue opportunities for cost savings through restructuring activities and workforce reductions to improve operating efficiencies across our businesses. Additionally, we initiated certain global actions designed to reduce our cost structure and improve future profitability by streamlining operations and better aligning functions, which we refer to as repositioning actions. The Company expects to incur approximately $75 million to $100 million of restructuring and repositioning charges in fiscal 2014. See Note 4 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective Income Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate was 21.6% and 18.9% during the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a non-recurring reversal of a compensation reserve established in respect of legacy litigation with former management that generated tax expense during the current period.
The rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to discrete items, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as the geographic mix of income before taxes.
Equity Loss in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Equity loss in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries reflects our share of Atkore International Group's ("Atkore") net loss, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity loss in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries during the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012 was $4 million and $6 million, respectively.

Net revenue decreased $19 million, or 1.9%, to $957 million for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 as compared to $976 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. Net revenue was unfavorably impacted by $17 million, or 1.7%, due to the divestiture of our North America guarding business in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net revenue by $7 million or 0.7%. Organic revenue growth was driven by increased service revenue growth in our North America fire business offset by a decline in revenue in the North America security business as a result of project selectivity. The net impact of acquisitions was $4 million or 0.4%, due to an acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Operating Income
Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased $9 million, or 8.3%, to $117 million, as compared to operating income of $108 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased primarily due to a higher mix of service revenue in our North America fire business, efficiencies gained through improved installation execution and project selectivity in the North America security business and, to a lesser extent, savings from restructuring activities.

impact of acquisitions was $38 million, or 3.5%, primarily due to acquisitions within our United Kingdom, Asia and Pacific regions during fiscal 2013 and within our growth markets during fiscal 2014. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net revenue by $20 million, or 1.8%. Net revenue was unfavorably impacted by $7 million, or 0.6%, primarily due to the divestiture of our Armourguard business in New Zealand and fire and security business in Fiji in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Operating Income
Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased $11 million, or 9.6%, to $125 million as compared to operating income of $114 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 was favorably impacted due to increased service revenue, the benefit of ongoing productivity initiatives, and a decrease in restructuring charges, partially offset by a loss on the sale of an investment.

Net revenue increased $31 million, or 5.8%, to $565 million for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 as compared to $534 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. Organic revenue growth was driven by growth within our fire and security products businesses, partially offset by a decline in our life safety business due to the delayed approval of new standards, by the National Fire Protection Association, related to self-contained breathing apparatuses. Net revenue also increased $20 million, or 3.7%, due to an acquisition within our security products business during fiscal 2013.

Operating Income
Operating income for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 increased $12 million, or 16.2%, to $86 million, as compared to operating income of $74 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. The increase was driven by net revenue growth for the quarter ended December 27, 2013, partially offset by additional investments in research and development and sales and marketing costs.

Corporate and Other
Corporate expense was a net benefit of $46 million for the quarter ended December 27, 2013 as compared to net expense of $61 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. The net benefit in Corporate expense was primarily due to the reversal of a compensation reserve of $92 million established in respect of legacy litigation with former management and a settlement with CIT, a former subsidiary, which resulted in a net gain of $16 million, and continued productivity improvements. See Note 11 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our CIT settlement and legacy legal matters.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. We believe that our accounting policies for depreciation and amortization methods of security monitoring-related assets, revenue recognition, loss contingencies, income taxes, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and pension and postretirement benefits are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During fiscal 2014, there have been no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K"). See Note 1 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the adoption and issuance of new accounting standards during fiscal 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
A fundamental objective of the Company is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of its core businesses around the world. The primary source of funds to finance our operations and capital expenditures is cash generated by operations. In addition, we maintain a commercial paper program, have access to a committed revolving credit facility and have access to equity and debt capital from public and private sources. We continue to balance our operating, investing and financing uses of cash through investments and acquisitions in our core businesses, dividends and share repurchases. In addition, we believe our cash position, amounts available under our credit facility, commercial paper program and cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to cover our operational and business needs in the foreseeable future.
As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents, total debt and Tyco shareholders' equity are as follows:

The Company expects to pay (i) approximately $100 million, within the next 12 months, to settle intercompany liabilities due to Yarway and (ii) $163 million to settle certain pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities. Depending on the timing and amounts of these payments, which are subject to a number of uncertainties, the Company may issue up to $500 million of debt in fiscal 2014 to ensure that sufficient funds are available on a cost-effective basis for these and other general corporate purposes. See Notes 11 and 6, respectively, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash flow from operating activities
Cash flow from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for items such as restructuring activities, pension funding, income taxes and other items impact reported cash flow.
The net change in working capital decreased operating cash flow by $262 million in the quarter ended December 27, 2013. The significant changes in working capital included a $108 million decrease in accrued and other liabilities, a $59 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $44 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $41 million decrease in deferred revenue.
The net change in working capital decreased operating cash flow by $353 million in the quarter ended December 28, 2012.

During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, Tyco settled a tax dispute with CIT, a former subsidiary. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Tyco received $60 million of which $25 million and $19 million are due to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively, under the terms of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement.
During the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, we made required contributions of $3 million and $1 million, respectively, to our U.S. pension plans and $11 million and $13 million, respectively, to our non-U.S. pension plans. We anticipate that we will contribute at least the minimum required to our pension plans in 2014 of $25 million for our U.S. plans and $35 million for our non-U.S. plans.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, related to continuing operations were $17 million and $28 million during the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively.
Net interest paid related to continuing operations were $10 million and $8 million for the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively.
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash flows related to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures, acquisitions, proceeds derived from divestitures of businesses, assets and the purchase and sales and maturities of investments.
We made capital expenditures of $92 million and $90 million for the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively. The level of capital expenditures in fiscal 2014 is expected to exceed the spending levels in fiscal 2013 and is also expected to exceed depreciation expense.
During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $54 million, net of $1 million cash acquired, which related to an acquisition included in our NA Installation & Services and ROW Installation & Services segments. During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $23 million which primarily related to an acquisition in our NA Installation & Services segment.
We maintain captive insurance companies to manage certain of our insurable liabilities. The captive insurance companies hold certain investment accounts for the purposes of providing collateral for our insurable liabilities. During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, our captive insurance companies made net sales of approximately $80 million. During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, our captive insurance companies made net purchases of approximately $80 million.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities relate primarily to proceeds received from incurring debt, and cash used to repay debt, repurchase stock and make dividend payments to shareholders.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, TIFSA issued commercial paper, for which the net proceeds were used to settle certain legacy environmental obligations, fund an acquisition, and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 27, 2013, TIFSA had $160 million of commercial paper outstanding, which bore interest at a weighted-average rate of 0.31%. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $1 billion as of December 27, 2013. As of September 27, 2013, TIFSA had no commercial paper outstanding.
As of December 27, 2013 there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facility, although the Company had dedicated $160 million of availability to backstop outstanding commercial paper.

Pursuant to our share repurchase program, we may repurchase Tyco shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market, or pursuant to an approved trading plan in accordance with applicable regulations. During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, we repurchased approximately 7 million common shares for approximately $250 million under our 2013 share repurchase program. As of December 27, 2013, approximately $250 million remained authorized under our 2013 share repurchase program. During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, we repurchased approximately 2 million common shares for approximately $50 million under our 2011 share repurchase program.
On March 6, 2013, our shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.64 per common share payable to shareholders in four quarterly installments of $0.16 in May 2013, August 2013, November 2013 and February 2014. During the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, we paid cash dividends of approximately $74 million and $70 million, respectively.
Management believes that cash generated by or available to us should be sufficient to fund our capital and operational business needs for the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures, quarterly dividend payments, share repurchases, and separation-related expenses.
Commitments and Contingencies
For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to tax and litigation matters, see Notes 6 and 11 to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Backlog
We had a backlog of unfilled orders of $5,380 million and $5,326 million as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, respectively.
The Company's backlog includes recurring revenue-in-force and long-term deferred revenue for upfront fees from its NA and ROW Installation & Services segments. Revenue-in-force represents 12 months' revenue associated with monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security and fire business. Backlog by segment was as follows ($ in millions):

Backlog increased $54 million, or 1.0%, to $5,380 million as of December 27, 2013 compared to $5,326 million as of September 27, 2013. The net increase in backlog was driven by increases in our ROW Installation & Services segment as a result of growth in installation backlog, primarily in Europe and Asia, as well as increases in our Global Products segment across all three product platforms. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in our NA Installation & Services segment as a result of declines in installation backlog in our North America security business. Changes in foreign currency unfavorably impacted backlog by $20 million, or 0.4%
Guarantees
Certain of our business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of

46

Table of Contents                                            

nonperformance and we believe that performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Pentair in accordance with the terms of the 2007 and 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreements and the Tax Sharing Agreements. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreements. At the time of the 2007 and 2012 Separations, we recorded liabilities necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications. See Note 6 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Tax Sharing Agreement. In addition, prior to the 2007 and 2012 Separations we provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Tyco Flow Control operating entities. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned in connection with the 2007 and 2012 Separations, we remained as the guarantor, but were typically indemnified by the former subsidiary. See Note 18 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.
In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 11 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.
In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. We record estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
For a detailed discussion of guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 18 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measure
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by U.S. GAAP, we also disclose the non-U.S. GAAP measure of organic revenue growth (decline). We believe that this measure is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP revenue, it enables investors to better evaluate our operations without giving effect to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and acquisition and divestiture activity, either of which may be significant from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is a factor we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. This measure is not a financial measure under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures and other changes that may not reflect underlying results and trends. Our organic growth (decline) calculations incorporate an estimate of prior year reported net revenue associated with acquired entities that have been fully integrated within the first year, and exclude prior year net revenue associated with entities that do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations which have been divested within the past year ("adjusted number"). We calculate the rate of organic growth (decline) based on the adjusted number to better reflect the rate of growth (decline) of the combined business, in the case of acquisitions, or the remaining business, in the case of dispositions. We base the rate of organic growth (decline) for acquired businesses that are not fully integrated within the first year upon unadjusted historical net revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations are calculated by subtracting (i) the U.S. dollar equivalent of local currencies for the current period using monthly weighted average exchange rates for the prior period from (ii) the U.S. dollar equivalent of local currencies for the current period using monthly weighted average exchange rates for the current period. We may use organic revenue growth (decline) as a component of our compensation programs.

Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. In many cases forward-looking statements are identified by words, and variations of words, such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “positioned,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and other similar words. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the SEC, or in Tyco's communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls, regarding expectations with respect to future events, including sales, earnings, cash flows, operating and tax efficiencies, product expansion, backlog, the consummation and benefits of acquisitions and divestitures, as well as financings and repurchases of debt or equity securities, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies. Many of these risks, uncertainties and contingencies are beyond our control, and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performances or achievements. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things:
overall economic and business conditions, and overall demand for Tyco's goods and services;
economic and competitive conditions in the industries, end markets and regions served by our businesses;
changes in legal and tax requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws or treaties and revised tax law interpretations);
results and consequences of investigations concerning the Company's governance, management, internal controls and operations including its business operations outside the United States;
the outcome of litigation, arbitrations and governmental proceedings;
effect of income tax audits, litigation, settlements and appeals;
our ability to repay or refinance our outstanding indebtedness as it matures;
our ability to operate within the limitations imposed by financing arrangements and to maintain our credit ratings;
interest rate fluctuations and other changes in borrowing costs, or other consequences of volatility in the capital or credit markets;

Table of Contents                                            

our ability to realize the intended benefits of the 2012 Separation, including the integration of our commercial security and fire protection businesses;
other risks associated with the 2012 Separation, for example the risk that we may be liable for certain contingent liabilities of the spun-off entities if they were to become insolvent;
risks associated with our Swiss incorporation, including the possibility of reduced flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management and corporate governance, increased or different regulatory burdens, and the possibility that we may not realize anticipated tax benefits;
the possible effects on Tyco of future legislation in the United States that may limit or eliminate potential U.S. tax benefits resulting from Tyco International's Swiss incorporation or deny U.S. government contracts to Tyco based upon its Swiss incorporation; and
natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes, or acts of terrorism or cyber-attacks.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from our exposure discussed in the 2013 Form 10-K. In order to manage the volatility relating to our more significant market risks, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and commodity swaps. As of and during the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company did not hold or enter into any commodity derivative instruments or interest rate swaps.
We utilize established risk management policies and procedures in executing derivative financial instrument transactions. We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments related to non-functional currency cash flows are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments are limited to financial institutions with strong investment grade long-term credit ratings.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 27, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 27, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
Legacy Matters Related to Former Management
The Company has been a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, including its former chief executive officer, Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, and its former chief financial officer, Mr. Mark Swartz. The Company filed civil complaints against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct relating to alleged abuses of the Company's Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program, unauthorized bonuses, unauthorized payments, self-dealing transactions and other improper conduct. In connection with Tyco's affirmative actions against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through a separate lawsuit, sought an aggregate of approximately $140 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").
With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Mr. Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the parties signed an agreement resolving the matter, with Mr. Kozlowski agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements, including the Key Employee Loan Program, alleged to have existed between him and the Company. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reversed the net liability of approximately $92 million which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amounts allegedly due to him. Additionally, Tyco will be entitled to a portion of the proceeds, if any, from the future sale of certain assets owned by Mr. Kozlowski, the timing and amount of which is uncertain at this time.
With respect to Mr. Swartz, on March 3, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to liability for its affirmative actions and further ruled that issues related to damages would need to be resolved at trial. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed a $50 million liability related to Mr. Swartz's pay and benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On May 15, 2012, Mr. Swartz filed a lawsuit against Tyco in New York state court claiming entitlement to monies under ERISA. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Swartz's claims for multiple reasons, including that the statute of limitations had expired, at the latest, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. A trial to determine the Company's damages from Mr. Swartz's breaches of fiduciary duty concluded on October 17, 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court ruled that the Company was entitled to recover all monies earned by Mr. Swartz in connection with his employment by Tyco between September 1, 1995 and June 1, 2002. The Company filed a motion requesting the entry of monetary sum certain judgment in conformity with the Court's ruling regarding the time period of disgorgement. The motion also requested interest related to the monies Mr. Swartz was found to have unlawfully taken from the Company. In March 2013, the Court entered an order awarding the Company's request for interest. In connection with Mr. Swartz's affirmative claims against the Company, the Court dismissed all of Mr. Swartz's claims except one claim in which Mr. Swartz contends he is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for taxes he paid in connection with his 2002 Separation Agreement. In July 2013, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Swartz agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, a final settlement agreement has not yet been executed.
Environmental Matters
Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of December 27, 2013, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $42 million to $110 million. As of December 27, 2013, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $74 million, of which $51 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and $23 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The majority of the liabilities described above relate to ongoing remediation efforts at a facility in the Company's Global Products segment located in Marinette, Wisconsin, which the Company acquired in 1990 in connection with its acquisition of, among other things, the Ansul product line. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, Ansul manufactured arsenic-based agricultural herbicides at the Marinette facility, which resulted in significant arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater on the Marinette site and in parts of the adjoining Menominee River. Ansul has been engaged in ongoing remediation efforts at the

Marinette site since 1990, and in February 2009 entered into an Administrative Consent Order (the "Consent Order") with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the presence of arsenic at the Marinette site. Under this agreement, Ansul's principal obligations are to contain the arsenic contamination on the site, pump and treat on-site groundwater, dredge, treat and properly dispose of contaminated sediments in the adjoining river areas, and monitor contamination levels on an ongoing basis. Activities completed under the Consent Order since 2009 include the installation of a subsurface barrier wall around the facility to contain contaminated groundwater, the installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system and the dredging and offsite disposal of treated river sediment. As of December 27, 2013, the Company concluded that its remaining remediation and monitoring costs related to the Marinette facility were in the range of approximately $31 million to $85 million. The Company's best estimate within that range is approximately $62 million, of which $48 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and $14 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the quarters ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, the Company recorded nil and $6 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. Although the Company has recorded its best estimate of the costs that it will incur to remediate and monitor the arsenic contamination at the Marinette facility, it is possible that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies or other factors could change the Company's expectations with respect to future charges and cash outlays, and such changes could be material to the Company's future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Asbestos Matters
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos containing components manufactured by third parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's historical strategy has been to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. In addition, the Company continues to assess its strategy for resolving asbestos claims. Due to the number of claims and limited amount of assets held by Yarway Corporation ("Yarway"), one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, on April 22, 2013 Yarway filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of this filing, all asbestos claims against Yarway have been stayed pending confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Yarway's goal is to negotiate, obtain approval of, and consummate a plan of reorganization that establishes an appropriately funded trust to provide for the fair and equitable payment of legitimate current and future Yarway asbestos claims, accompanied by appropriate injunctive relief permanently protecting Yarway and certain other protected parties from any further asbestos claims arising from products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Yarway. Upon confirmation of such plan of reorganization, the Company expects to deconsolidate Yarway. As a result of filing the voluntary petition during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded an expected loss upon deconsolidation of $10 million related to the Yarway bankruptcy petition. Although the terms of Yarway's plan of reorganization are unknown at this time, the Company does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
As of December 27, 2013, the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,300 claims pending against it, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. This amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against such entities and includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants, are duplicative of other actions or for which the Company is indemnified.
The Company's estimate of its liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience over a look-back period of three years, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed in the look-forward period of fifteen years. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, Tyco assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, Tyco considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. Tyco also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.

As of December 27, 2013, the Company's estimated net liability of $167 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $319 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million. The Company believes that its asbestos related liabilities and insurance related assets as of December 27, 2013 are appropriate. Similarly, as of September 27, 2013, the Company's estimated net liability of $169 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $321 million, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million.
The net liabilities reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the Company's best estimates of probable losses for the look-forward period described above. It is reasonably possible that losses will be incurred for claims made subsequent to such look-forward periods. However, due to the inherent uncertainty and lack of reliable trend data in predicting losses beyond 2027, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of losses beyond such period. With respect to claims made against Yarway, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate losses beyond what it has accrued because it is uncertain what the impact of Yarway's reorganization plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will be on the Company. However, the Company does not expect the impact to be materially adverse to its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on the Company's strategies for resolving its asbestos claims, currently available information, and a number of estimates and assumptions. Key variables and assumptions include the number and type of new claims that are filed each year, the average cost of resolution of claims, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, amount of insurance and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Many of these factors are closely linked, such that a change in one variable or assumption will impact one or more of the others, and no single variable or assumption predominately influences the determination of the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty in the later portion of the projection period. Other factors that may affect the Company's liability and cash payments for asbestos-related matters include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms of state or federal tort legislation and the applicability of insurance policies among subsidiaries. As a result, actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company's calculations vary significantly from actual results.
Tax Matters
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Covidien and TE Connectivity (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") under which Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion. Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial

condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion, which is expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
See Note 6 for additional information related to income tax matters.
Other Matters
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Tyco settled a tax dispute with its former subsidiary, CIT. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Tyco received $60 million during the quarter ended December 27, 2013 which is subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a $16 million gain in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and established payables of $25 million and $19 million due to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively, as of December 27, 2013. The Company expects to make payment to Covidien and TE Connectivity in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

On December 18, 2013, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea issued a decision clarifying the definition of "ordinary wages," which in Korea form the basis for certain statutory entitlements due to workers upon the occurrence of specified events such as severance, disability and retirement. Although no lawsuit or claim has been asserted against the Company, the Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the ruling as well as new guidelines related to the scope of ordinary wages issued by the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor on January 23, 2014 may have on the Company. Although a risk of loss is reasonably possible, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate an amount or range of loss related to this matter at this time. Consequently, the Company has made no provision for the potential loss, if any. However, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse affect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. 
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.

The transactions described in the table above represent the repurchase of common shares on the New York Stock Exchange as part of the $600 million share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in January 2013 ("2013 Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, the Company also acquired shares from certain employees in order to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted shares. Approximately 252,000 shares were acquired in these vesting-related transactions outside of the share repurchase program during the quarter ended December 27, 2013. The average price paid per share is calculated by dividing the total cash paid for the shares by the total number of shares
