(In millions, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
 
The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $60.4 and $89.4, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $55.2 with an associated tax benefit realized of $17.3 SFAS 123R requires that the Company classify as a financing activity the cash flows attributable to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $13.0 and $13.6, respectively, were classified as cash flows from financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as a result of stock option exercises and restricted stock award lapses.
 
Based on the Company’s closing stock price of $67.93 on the last trading day of the quarter, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable as of September 30, 2007 was $274.5 and $227.0, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, all of the aforementioned exercisable options were in the money.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the total number of outstanding stock options expected to vest (including those that have already vested) was 9.1 million. These stock options have a weighted-average exercise price of $37.60, an aggregate intrinsic value of $275.8, and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 4.8 years.
 
At September 30, 2007, there was $49.4 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the stock option and restricted stock plans. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
 
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for grants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively:
 
                 
    Three Months Ended September 30   Nine Months Ended September 30
    2007   2006   2007   2006
 
Dividend yield
  0.81%   0.89%   0.96%   0.84%
Expected volatility
  25.00%   25.00%   23.08%   24.07%
Expected life
  5.8 years   4.5 years   4.8 years   4.8 years
Risk-free rates
  4.92%   4.71%   4.39%   4.73%
Weighted average grant date fair value
  $21.29   $12.99   $14.67   $14.09
 
Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
The ITT Industries 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), approved by shareholders in 1997, authorizes performance awards to be made to key employees of the Company. The LTIP is considered a liability plan, under the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, the Company is required to reassess the fair value of its LTIP awards at the end of each reporting period. Payment, if any, of target cash awards generally will be made at the end of the applicable three-year performance period and will be based on ITT Corporation’s performance measured against the total shareholder return performance of other stocks comprising the S&P Industrials Index.
 
The fair value of each award is calculated on a quarterly basis using Monte Carlo simulations. The three-year volatility of the outstanding awards as of September 30, 2007, was approximately 16%. The number of companies included in the applicable benchmark group ranges from 317 to 352 for the awards outstanding as of September 30, 2007.
 
At September 30, 2007, there was $24.5 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the LTIP. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. The total cash paid to settle the LTIP liability for the annual 2004 and the annual 2003 grants during the first nine months of 2007 and 2006 was $17.6 and $17.2, respectively.

As of September 30, 2007, of the announced planned facility closures, two facilities in the Fluid Technology segment remain to be closed. These closures are expected within the next nine months.
 
5)  Income Taxes
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” including positions taken in a previously filed tax return or expected to be taken in a future return.
 
Under FIN 48, the Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
 
Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in assessing uncertainty of income tax positions and the need for accruals to offset any exposure resulting from positions taken in its income tax returns. FIN 48 substantially changed the applicable accounting model and caused greater volatility in income statements as more items are recognized discretely within income tax expense.
 
The Company adopted the provisions set forth by FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $88.8. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $79.0. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase in liabilities of $26.1 for unrecognized tax benefits.

(1) During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded $11.3 as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a charge for $6.1 to income tax expense.
 
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company reduced its liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits by $36.0, of which $24.3 decreased its tax provision. The primary cause of the decrease was the settlement of a tax examination. In connection with this settlement, the Company anticipates making a payment of approximately $10 during the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $55.0. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $46.3.
 
The Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within 12 months of the reporting date.
 
The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters as a component of interest expense and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its income statement. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of the date of adoption of FIN 48 was $34.9. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a

decrease of $7.0 in the amount of accrued interest as a result of the settlement of a tax examination. As of September 30, 2007, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties was $32.5.
 
In many cases, uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The following table summarizes these open tax years by major jurisdiction:

2007 Dispositions
 
Switches
 
On July 26, 2007, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its Switches businesses to Littlejohn & Co. LLC, a private equity firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut for net proceeds of $225.7 and an after tax gain of $63.7 and $58.7 for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2007, respectively. Included in the gain is a tax benefit of $5.4 and $8.1 for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2007, respectively, primarily resulting from book-to-tax differences related to the write-down of impaired long-lived assets in a previous period. Included in the year-to-date gain are $7.6 ($5.0 net of tax) of expenses incurred during the first six months of 2007 related to the disposition.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had assets and liabilities classified as held for sale of $5.9 and $1.5, respectively. These balances relate to a remaining portion of the Switches businesses to be sold to Littlejohn & Co. LLC. The Company expects to complete the final component of the sale during the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
The divestiture of the businesses is consistent with the Company’s strategy of concentrating its resources in core product areas and de-emphasizing products that are determined to be less strategic to the Company. The Switches businesses produce pushbutton, toggle, slide, DIP, rotary, multi-functional navigation, snap and thumbwheel switches, as well as customized rubber and plastic keypads, customized dome arrays and customized interface control products such as multifunction joystick control panels. The Switches businesses sell their products to a wide range of customers in the transportation, consumer, telecommunications, medical, and instrumentation market segments.
 
The Switches businesses have been reported as discontinued operations since the third quarter of 2006.
 
Revenues and operating income for Switches businesses reported in discontinued operations were as follows:
 
                 
    Nine Months Ended
 
    September 30  
    2007     2006  
 
Revenues (third party)

Net periodic pension expense decreased in the first nine months of 2007 as a result of the higher discount rate adopted at year end 2006 leading to a lower amortization of actuarial losses, and higher expected returns on plan assets due to increased asset levels, partially offset by higher average foreign exchange rates.
 
The Company contributed $77.5 to its various plans during the first nine months of 2007 including a $50.0 discretionary contribution to its U.S. Salaried Plan. Additional contributions totaling between $1.0 and $3.0 are expected over the balance of 2007.

15) Acquisitions
 
2007 Acquisitions
 
During 2007, the Company spent $395.7, net of cash acquired, and including direct acquisition costs, on acquisitions that it does not believe are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operations or financial condition. The most significant of these acquisitions was as follows:
 
On September 10, 2007, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of International Motion Control (“IMC”) for $388.9, net of cash acquired and including direct acquisition costs. IMC is a global developer of motion control products, and is a market leader in the manufacture of specialty energy absorption, industrial and aviation control and automation technology. Management believes that IMC, which had 2006 revenues of approximately $200, will add a complementary mix of highly engineered, mission-critical products to the Company’s Motion & Flow Control business segment.
 
The Company has preliminarily assigned value to the assets and liabilities of all 2007 acquisitions, however, the allocations are subject to further refinement. As of September 30, 2007, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in these transactions, $244.5, was recorded as goodwill, of which $226.5, $14.0 and $4.0 are reflected in the Motion & Flow Control, Defense Electronics & Services and Fluid Technology segments, respectively.
 
Intangible assets relating to the 2007 acquisitions totaled $98.8 at September 30, 2007. This amount includes $79.9 of customer relationships, $9.5 of proprietary technology, $9.1 of trademarks, and $0.3 of other identifiable intangible assets. These intangible assets are amortized over lives of 3-20 years, 9-15 years, 20 years and 3 months, respectively.
 
In 2007, the Company had no material changes resulting from the finalization of purchase price allocations related to prior period acquisitions.
 
On September 17, 2007 the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement with EDO Corporation (“EDO”), a global aerospace and defense company, to purchase all outstanding shares of EDO for $56 per share in cash. EDO designs and manufactures a diverse range of products for defense, intelligence and commercial markets, and provides related engineering and professional services. Management believes that the addition of EDO, with expected 2007 revenues of $1.15 billion, will allow the Company’s Defense Electronics & Services segment to provide a broader set of solutions to a wider band of customers. Furthermore, the Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

expects it will be better positioned to play an important role on some of the U.S. military’s vital transformational initiatives, such as the Joint Strike Fighter, the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship, counter improvised explosive devise programs, and the Coast Guard Deepwater programs. The Company estimates the value of the transaction at $1.7 billion, including the assumption of approximately $120 of net debt and the anticipated conversion of convertible notes. The transaction, which is subject to approval of EDO’s shareholders, as well as customary closing and regulatory conditions, is expected to be completed in early 2008.
 
2006 Acquisitions
 
During the first nine months of 2006, the Company spent $75.2 on acquisitions that it does not believe are material individually or in the aggregate to its results of operations or financial condition. These acquisitions included:
 
  •  A privately held company, included in the Defense Electronics & Services segment, which is a leading provider of semiconductor design services, intellectual property and product. Management believes the technology will help the Company lead the way in providing a new generation of radios for the modern soldier.
 
  •  F.B. Leopold Company, included in the Fluid Technology segment, which primarily serves municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities. Management believes this acquisition will expand ITT’s ability to provide pre-treatment filtration technology for surface water, reuse and desalination.
 
As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in these transactions of $43.9 was recorded as goodwill, of which $29.0 and $14.9 are reflected in the Fluid Technology and Defense Electronics & Services business segments, respectively.
 
Intangible assets relating to the acquisitions described above totaled $35.1. This amount includes $19.2 for proprietary technology, $7.9 associated for customer relationships, $5.1 of trademarks, and $2.9 of other identifiable intangible assets. These intangible assets are amortized over lives of 7-10 years, 10 years, 10 years and 10 years, respectively.
 
16)  Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including the Company’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.
 
Environmental:
 
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. The Company’s environmental liability includes matters associated with properties containing disposed or recycled wastes generated by current or former properties of ITT, and nearby properties impacted by contamination originating at those properties. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of

alternative remedies, and changes in clean-up standards. In management’s opinion, the total amount accrued and related receivables are appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In the ordinary course of business, and similar to other industrial companies, the Company is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company has received notice that it is considered a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a limited number of sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or a similar state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) or its state equivalent. As of September 30, 2007, the Company is responsible, or is alleged to be responsible, for approximately 82 ongoing environmental investigation and remediation sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings the Company’s liability is considered de minimis. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s best estimate for environmental liabilities is $101.8, which approximates the accrual related to the investigation and remediation of ground water, soil, and soil vapor as well as related legal fees. The low range estimate for its environmental liabilities is $76.7 and the high range estimate for those liabilities is $183.6. On an annual basis the Company spends between $8.0 and $12.0 on its environmental remediation liabilities. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis.
 
The Company is involved in an environmental proceeding in Glendale, California relating to the San Fernando Valley aquifer. The Company is one of numerous PRPs who are alleged by the EPA to have contributed to the contamination of the aquifer. In January 1999, the EPA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, United States v. ITT Industries, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corp. CV99-00552 SVW AIJX, to recover costs it incurred in connection with the foregoing. In May 1999, the EPA and the PRPs, including the Company and Lockheed Martin, reached a settlement, embodied in a consent decree, requiring the PRPs to perform additional remedial activities. Pursuant to the settlement, the PRPs, including the Company, have constructed and are funding operation of a water treatment plant. The operation of the water treatment plant is expected to continue until 2013, at which time a separate allocation for continued operation of the plant is expected. ITT and the other PRPs continue to pay their respective allocated costs of the operation of the water treatment plant and the Company. In 2007 one PRP defaulted on their percentage share of costs, and the PRP Group is pursuing a remedy of the default, however, this default may increase ITT’s allocated share of the liability. Additionally, modification to the allowable hexavalent chromium standard is anticipated, and this change in regulatory standard may result in additional costs for modifications to the water treatment plant. As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s accrual for operation of the water treatment plant through 2013 was $8.5 representing its best estimate; its low estimate for the liability is $5.1 and its high estimate is $14.0.
 
Prior to the 1995 Distribution Agreement (See “Company History and Certain Relationships” within Part I, Item 1 of the 2006 Annual Form 10-K for a description of the Distribution Agreement), the predecessor ITT Corporation operated a facility in Madison County, Florida from 1968 until 1991. In 1995, elevated levels of contaminants were detected at the former manufacturing site. Since then, ITT has completed the investigation of the site in coordination with state and federal environmental authorities and is in the process of evaluating various remedies. A final remedy for the site has not yet been selected. Currently, the estimated range for the remediation is between $3.1 and $17.0. The Company has accrued $5.8 for this matter, which approximates its best estimate.
 
The Company is involved with a number of PRPs regarding property in the City of Bronson, Michigan, operated by a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation, Higbie Manufacturing, prior to the time ITT acquired Higbie. The Company and other PRPs are investigating and remediating discharges of industrial waste which occurred as early as the 1930s. The Company’s current estimates for its exposure are between $6.8 and $14.8,

and it has an accrual for this matter of $10.5 which represents its best estimate. The Company does not anticipate a default on the part of the other PRPs. ITT is pursuing legal claims against some other potentially responsible parties for past and future costs.
 
The Company operated a facility in Rochester, New York, called Rochester Form Machine from 1979 — 2003. Rochester Form Machine was a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation known as ITT Higbie after ITT acquired Higbie in 1972. In August 2003, the Company, through its subsidiary ITT Fluid Handling Systems, entered into an Order on Consent with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to investigate and remediate facility-related impacts to soil, soil vapor and ground water. As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s current estimate for this exposure is between $3.4 and $13.6 and it has an accrual for this matter of $5.5 which represents the best estimate. The Company will pursue claims against certain other PRPs who may share responsibility for impacts.
 
In a suit filed in 1991 by the Company, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al., against its insurers, the Company is seeking recovery of costs it incurred in connection with its environmental liabilities including the four listed above. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. This case had been on appeal before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims of the Company. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. However, in April 2007, the Superior Court vacated its earlier ruling dismissing the claims, and, as a result, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal as moot. Thus, the case is now back before Superior Court for another hearing, applying the California Superior Court’s ruling in Powerine Oil Co. v. Superior Court. In the event the Company is successful before the Superior Court, it will pursue the administrative claims against its excess insurers. During the course of the litigation, the Company has negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and is prepared to pursue its legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive.
 
Product Liability and Other Matters:
 
The Company and its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (“Goulds”) have been joined as defendants with numerous other industrial companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These claims stem primarily from products sold prior to 1985 that contained a part manufactured by a third party, e.g., a gasket, which allegedly contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers’ products that may have contained asbestos.
 
Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, ITT and Goulds resolved approximately 8,200, 16,000 and 4,200 claims, respectively. Nearly all of these claims were dismissed, with settlement on a small percentage of claims. The average amount of settlement per plaintiff has been nominal and substantially all defense and settlement costs have been covered by insurance. Based upon past claims experience, available insurance coverage, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
The Company is involved in two actions, Cannon Electric, Inc. et al. v. Ace Property & Casualty Company (“ACE”) et al. Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, CA, Case No. BC 290354, and Pacific Employers Insurance Company et al., v. ITT Industries, Inc., et al., Supreme Court, County of New York, N.Y., Case No. 03600463. The parties in both cases are seeking an appropriate allocation of responsibility for the Company’s historic asbestos liability exposure among its insurers. The California action is filed in the same venue where the Company’s environmental insurance recovery litigation had been pending since 1991. The New York action has been stayed in favor of the California suit. ITT and ACE and Nationwide Indemnity have successfully resolved the matter and the Company is working with other parties in the suit to resolve the matter as to those insurers.

In addition, Utica National (“Utica”) and Goulds have negotiated a coverage-in-place agreement to allocate the Goulds’ asbestos liabilities between insurance policies issued by Utica and those issued by others. The terms of the settlement will provide the Company with substantial coverage from Utica for asbestos liabilities. The Company will continue to seek coverage from its other insurers for these liabilities.
 
The Company has been involved in a suit filed in El Paso, Texas, Irwin Bast et al. v. ITT Industries et al., Sup. Ct., El Paso, Texas, C.A. No. 2002-4730. This Complaint, filed by both U.S. and German citizens, alleges that ITT and four other major companies failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers associated with exposure to x-ray radiation from radar devices. The Complaint also seeks the certification of a class of similarly injured persons. In September 2006, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and motion to amend the complaint. The Court also determined that the plaintiffs failed to identify any persons who had been injured by ITT products and dismissed ITT from the action. In September 2006, the same plaintiff attorneys who filed the El Paso action, filed a companion action in state court in California against the Company, alone, seeking certification of a class of persons who were exposed to ITT radar products but who have not, as yet, exhibited symptoms of injury. The parties have finalized a settlement within the Company’s expected range and, as a result, the matter is concluded.
 
The Company provides an indemnity to U.S. Silica Company for silica personal injury suits against its former subsidiary Pennsylvania Glass Sand filed prior to September 12, 2005. ITT sold the stock of Pennsylvania Glass Sand to U.S. Silica Company in 1985. The Company’s indemnity had been paid in part by its historic product liability carrier, however, in September 2005, the carrier communicated to ITT that it would no longer pay a share of the costs. On October 4, 2005, ITT filed a suit against the insurer, ITT v. Pacific Employers Insurance Co., CA No. 05CV 5223, seeking its defense costs and indemnity from the insurance carrier for Pennsylvania Glass Sand product liabilities. In April 2007, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the carrier’s duty to defend the silica cases. All silica related costs, net of insurance recoveries, are shared pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. See “Company History and Certain Relationships” within Part I, Item 1 of the 2006 Annual report on Form 10-K for a description of the Distribution Agreement. The insurer has appealed the Court’s decision, and the matter was returned to the Superior Court in part for determination of several factual issues. The Company will continue to seek its past and future defense costs for these cases from this carrier. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2005, the Company received an anonymous complaint regarding the possible payment of commissions to foreign government officials by employees of its Nanjing Goulds Pumps company, in Nanjing, China. Such commission payments may violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The Company is conducting an investigation utilizing internal and external resources and voluntarily disclosed the preliminary results of the investigation to the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Government could impose a civil penalty or a criminal fine and/or order that the Company disgorge any profits derived from contracts where inappropriate commissions where paid. The Company does not expect that this matter will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis.
 
On March 27, 2007, the Company reached a settlement relating to an investigation of its ITT Night Vision’s compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). As part of the settlement, the Company pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia to one ITAR violation relating to the improper handling of sensitive documents and one ITAR violation involving making misleading statements. The Company will pay a total of $50.0 in fines, forfeitures and penalties, including a payment of $30.0 made in the first quarter of 2007. This liability was fully accrued at December 31, 2006. The Government has agreed to defer action regarding a third count of ITAR violations pending the Company’s implementation of a remedial action plan. The Company has also agreed to invest $50.0 over the next five years in research and development and capital

improvements for its Night Vision products. As a result of the guilty plea, the Company became subject to automatic statutory “debarment” from future export licenses. However, because the debarment is applicable to only a portion of the Company’s Night Vision business, it is expected that the net effect of the debarment will restrict less than 5% of total Night Vision sales for a period of not less than one year. The Company can seek reinstatement of export privileges after one year. The Company is currently negotiating an administrative agreement with the Department of State. On October 11, 2007, the Company and the Department of Defense finalized an Administrative Compliance Agreement wherein the Company agreed to take certain remedial actions including implementing compliance programs and appointing an independent monitor for the oversight of the Company’s compliance programs. Management believes that theses matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On April 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors received a letter on behalf of a shareholder requesting that the Board take appropriate action against the employees responsible for the actions described in the Company’s agreements with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia, which were disclosed on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2007. The Board of Directors has appointed a Special Litigation Committee to evaluate the request.
 
On April 20, 2007, the Company received notice of a shareholder derivative action, Sylvia Piven trustee under trust agreement dated April 3, 1973 f/b/o Sylvia B. Piven, derivatively on behalf of ITT Corporation v. Steve Loranger et al. and ITT Corporation, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, CA No. 07-CV-2878 (the “Piven” action), alleging that the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s compliance programs at its Night Vision business. The Piven Complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages for the Company from its Directors, the removal of the Directors, and the election of new directors. On July 12, 2007, the Company received notice of a second shareholder derivative action, Norman Levy, derivatively on behalf of ITT Industries, Inc. v. Steven R. Loranger et al. and ITT Industries, Inc., U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, CA No. 07-CV-6339 (the “Levy” action). The Levy Complaint asserts similar claims as the Piven Complaint and seeks compensatory damages for the Company from its Directors. On August 20, 2007, the Company received notice of the third derivative action, Anthony Reale v. Steven R. Loranger et.al and ITT Company [sic], U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, CA No. 07-CV-6339 (the “Reale” action). The Reale action also names as John Doe defendants the individual managers allegedly responsible for the actions that gave rise to the Night Vision guilty plea, as well as the law firm that advised the Company in connection with a voluntary disclosure of violations. All three actions are consolidated before the District Court for the Southern District of New York, In Re ITT Corporation Derivative Litigation, CA No. 07-CV-2878 (CLB). The Company will file a motion to dismiss the anticipated consolidated Complaint at the appropriate time. Management believes that this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
17)  Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties
 
Guarantees & Indemnities
 
Since its incorporation in 1920, the Company has acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. Existing material indemnities are discussed in detail below.

The Company provided a performance bond guarantee in the amount of $10.0 related to its real estate development activities in Flagler County, Florida. The Company would be required to perform under this guarantee if certain parties did not satisfy all aspects of the development order, the most significant aspect being the expansion of a bridge. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments equals $10.0. At September 30, 2007, the Company has an accrual related to this matter in the amount of $10.0.
 
In December of 2002, the Company entered into a sales-type lease agreement for its corporate aircraft and then leased the aircraft back under an operating lease agreement. The Company has provided, under the agreement, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $44.8, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. The Company would have to make payments under the residual value guarantee only if the fair value of the aircraft was less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. At September 30, 2007, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements.
 
In connection with the coverage in place agreement between Goulds and Utica described in Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” the Company has provided a short-term standby letter of credit in the amount of $10.0 to secure repayment by Goulds of sums previously advanced by Utica under that settlement.
 
Product Warranties:
 
The Company warrants numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, the Company warrants its products against defect and specific non-performance. In the automotive businesses, liability for product defects could extend beyond the selling price of the product and could be significant if the defect shuts down production or results in a recall. Changes in product warranty accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
 
                 
    2007     2006

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In millions, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
 
Business Overview
 
ITT Corporation is a global multi-industry company engaged directly and through its subsidiaries in the design and manufacture of a wide range of engineered products and the provision of related services. The Company’s three principal operating segments are Fluid Technology, Defense Electronics & Services, and Motion & Flow Control.
 
The Company looks to expand its key growth platforms through both organic and acquisition growth. These growth platforms include: Water & Wastewater in the Fluid Technology business segment; Defense Electronics, Advanced Engineering & Sciences, and Systems in the Defense Electronics & Services business segment; and the Motion & Flow Control business segment, which includes key technologies, such as energy absorption, flow control and motion control. In addition to its growth initiatives, the Company has a number of strategic initiatives within the framework of the ITT Management System aimed at enhancing its operational performance. These include global sourcing, facility rationalization, Six Sigma and lean fulfillment, and value-based and innovative product development.
 
The Company forecasts consolidated revenues for 2007 to be in the range of $8.730 billion to $8.775 billion, or 11.8% to 12.4% over the prior year.
 
Summarized below is information on each of the three business segments, including markets served, goods and services provided, relevant factors that could impact results, business challenges, areas of focus and selected financial data.
 
Fluid Technology
 
Fluid Technology is a leading global provider of fluid systems and solutions. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company realigned its Fluid Technology organization, by combining its businesses serving the Advanced Water Treatment market primarily with Flygt, the Company’s principal business serving the Wastewater market. The integration is designed to leverage existing sales and distribution networks and to combine market-facing businesses to take advantage of scale, process and market leadership. Within the realigned structure, the Fluid Technology business segment provides goods and services to the following markets: Water & Wastewater (biological/ozone/UV treatment systems for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and submersible pumps and mixers for sewage and wastewater treatment facilities), Residential & Commercial Water (pumps and accessories for residential, municipal and commercial applications), and Industrial Process (pumps/valves for the industrial, mining and chemical industries, pulp and paper solutions for process modules, skid systems and stainless steel vessels).
 
Competitive advantages of the Fluid Technology business segment include selling premier brands, enjoying strong distribution capabilities, and benefiting from an installed base of over 13 million pumps worldwide, which provides a strong foundation for repair, replacement and retrofit aftermarket sales. The demand drivers of the business include population growth, urbanization, migration to coastal areas, social awareness, increased regulation, aging infrastructure, and demand from developing markets.
 
Factors that could impact Fluid Technology’s financial results include: broad economic conditions in markets served, weather conditions, the ability of municipalities to fund projects, raw material prices and continued demand for replacement parts and servicing. Primary areas of business focus include: new product development, geographic expansion into new markets, facility rationalization and global sourcing of direct material purchases. The Company forecasts full year 2007 revenues for the Fluid Technology business segment to be between $3.440 billion and $3.455 billion, an increase of 12.1% to 12.5% over 2006.
 
Defense Electronics & Services
 
Defense Electronics & Services develops, manufactures, and supports high technology electronic systems and components for worldwide defense and commercial markets as well as provides communications systems,


28


Table of Contents

engineering and applied research. Defense Electronics & Services consists of two major areas: Systems and Services (Systems, Advanced Engineering and Sciences businesses) and Defense Electronics (Aerospace and Communications, Space Systems, Night Vision and Electronic System businesses).
 
Management believes that the Defense business segment is well positioned with products and services that support our customers’ needs. In addition, the Company expects new product development to continue to contribute to future growth.
 
Factors that could impact Defense Electronics & Services’ financial results include: the level of defense funding by domestic and foreign governments, the Company’s ability to receive contract awards, the ability to develop and market products and services for customers outside of traditional markets and the Company’s ability to obtain appropriate export licenses for international sales and business. Primary areas of business focus include: new or improved product offerings, new contract wins, and successful program execution. The Company forecasts full year 2007 revenues for the Defense Electronics & Services business segment to be between $4.020 billion and $4.040 billion, an increase of 9.9% to 10.4% over 2006.
 
Motion & Flow Control
 
Motion & Flow Control comprises a group of businesses including Connectors, Friction Materials, Marine & Leisure, KONI and Aerospace Controls. Connectors designs and manufactures rugged electronic connectors for communications, industrial, transportation, military/aerospace, commercial aircraft, computer, and consumer uses. Friction Materials designs and manufactures friction pads for braking applications. Marine & Leisure produces pumps and related products for the leisure marine market, pumps and components for beverage applications and designs and manufactures jets, pumps and other components for whirlpool baths and hot tub spas. KONI provides high-end dampeners for auto, truck, bus and rail markets. Aerospace Controls produces valves, actuators and switches for the commercial, military, regional, business and general aviation markets; switches and regulators for the oil and gas, power generation and chemical markets; and pressure regulators and diaphragm seals for industrial applications and natural gas vehicles.
 
As a result of the acquisition of International Motion Control (“IMC”), described below in further detail, the Company plans to realign its Motion & Flow Control segment around six technological capabilities. The new business structure of the Motion & Flow Control segment will include Energy Absorption, Flow Control, Aerospace Controls, Controls, Friction Technologies and Interconnect Solutions.
 
The businesses of the Motion & Flow Control business segment primarily serve the high end of their markets, with highly engineered products, high brand recognition, and a focus on new product development and operational excellence. Revenue opportunities are balanced between original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”) and aftermarket customers. In addition to its traditional markets of the U.S. and Western Europe, opportunities in emerging areas such as Asia are increasing.
 
The Motion & Flow Control businesses’ financial results are driven by economic conditions in its major markets, the cyclical nature of the transportation industry, production levels of major auto producers, demand for marine and leisure products, weather conditions, raw material prices, the success of new product development, platform life and changes in technology. Primary areas of business focus include: expansion into adjacent markets, new product development, manufacturing footprint optimization, global sourcing of direct material purchases and lean fulfillment. The Company forecasts full year 2007 revenues for the Motion & Flow Control business segment to be between $1.280 billion and $1.300 billion, an increase of 17.1% to 18.9% over 2006.
 
Acquisitions
 
International Motion Control
 
On September 10, 2007, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of IMC for $388.9, net of cash acquired and including direct acquisition costs. IMC is a global developer of motion control products, and is a market leader in the manufacture of specialty energy absorption, industrial and aviation control and automation technology. Management believes that IMC, which had 2006 revenues of approximately $200, will add a


29


Table of Contents

complementary mix of highly engineered, mission-critical products to the Company’s Motion & Flow Control business segment.
 
EDO Corporation
 
On September 17, 2007 the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement with EDO Corporation (“EDO”), a global aerospace and defense company, to purchase all outstanding shares of EDO for $56 per share in cash. EDO designs and manufactures a diverse range of products for defense, intelligence and commercial markets, and provides related engineering and professional services. Management believes that the addition of EDO, with expected 2007 revenues of $1.15 billion, will allow the Company’s Defense Electronics & Services segment to provide a broader set of solutions to a wider band of customers. Furthermore, the Company expects it will be better positioned to play an important role on some of the U.S. military’s vital transformational initiatives, such as the Joint Strike Fighter, the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship, counter improvised explosive devise programs, and the Coast Guard Deepwater programs.

Sales and Revenues
 
Sales and revenues increased $180.1 or 9.0% for the third quarter of 2007 over the same prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“constant currency basis”), sales and revenues for the third quarter increased $136.1 or 6.8%. Higher sales volumes and prices from existing businesses (“organic growth”) at each of the Company’s business segments contributed $123.3 or 6.2% to the overall revenue growth. In addition, the Company realized sales and revenues from acquired companies of $12.8 during the current period.
 
Sales and revenues for the first nine months of 2007 were $718.0 or 12.5% higher than the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, sales and revenues for the first nine months of 2007 increased $595.9 or 10.4%. Organic growth from each of the Company’s business segments contributed $553.7 or 9.6% to the overall revenue growth. In addition, the Company realized sales and revenues from acquisitions of $42.2 during the same period.
 
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company received orders of $2,378.4. This represents a $227.6 or 10.6% increase over the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, orders grew $181.4, or 8.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to organic growth of $179.2, or 8.3%, driven by increases in each of the Company’s business segments. Orders for the first nine months of 2007 were $6,397.6, an increase of $249.6 or 4.1% over the same period for 2006. On a constant currency basis, orders increased $119.8 or 1.9% over the first nine months of 2006.
 
Costs of Sales and Revenues and Gross Profit
 
The Company’s costs of sales and revenues increased 7.1% and 10.8% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, over the same prior year periods primarily due to higher sales volumes.
 
Higher sales volumes and increased price drove the overall increase in gross profit for both periods. Gross margin (as a percent of sales) was higher for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 at 29.4% and 28.8%, respectively, compared to 28.2% and 27.8% for the same periods in 2006. These increases were driven by the Company’s productivity and cost savings initiatives, including continued efforts to improve supply chain productivity and control material costs, partially offset by unfavorable mix and the impact of foreign exchange translation.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased 10.3% and 15.9% overall and 0.2% and 0.4% as a percentage of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The year-over-year increase in both periods was primarily attributable to higher levels of marketing expense at each of the Company’s business segments in support of product campaigns and new sales proposals. In addition, general and administrative expense increased reflecting higher compensation-related costs and the Company’s investment in growth and process improvement initiatives.
 
Research & Development Expenses
 
Research and Development expenses (“R&D”) increased 12.2% and 8.6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. R&D expense as a percentage of sales was relatively consistent with the prior year periods as the Company continued its efforts to support product development.
 
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
 
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, the Company recorded $7.2 and $31.1 of net restructuring and asset impairment charges, respectively, to streamline its operating structure. The Company recorded $9.8 and $32.0 of net restructuring and asset impairment charges, respectively, during the same prior year periods. See the section entitled “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” and Note 4, “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Operating Income
 
Operating income increased 20.8% and 21.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, over the same prior year periods. As mentioned in the previous sections, the increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes and benefits from operating efficiencies and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable mix and the impact of foreign exchange translation and increased SG&A expenses.
 
Interest Expense and Interest Income
 
Interest expense during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 increased 33.0% and 13.0%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. This increase was primarily attributable to higher debt levels during the periods, reflecting the Company’s funding for acquisitions, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures and pension plan contributions. Partially offsetting the nine month year-over-year variance was a decrease of $7.0 in the amount of accrued interest as a result of the settlement of a tax examination during the second quarter of 2007.
 
The Company recorded interest income of $12.6 and $31.0 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, an increase of $6.3 and $16.2, respectively, from the prior year periods. These increases are primarily attributable to a higher balance of cash and cash equivalents over the comparable 2006 periods.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 was $73.1 and $175.3, or 30.2% and 25.8% of income from continuing operations, respectively. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $44.3 resulting from the settlement of a tax examination.
 
Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was $57.3 and $163.9, or 29.0% and 30.3% of income from continuing operations, respectively.
 
See Note 5, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.
 
Income from Continuing Operations
 
Income from continuing operations was $168.6 or $0.92 per diluted share and $504.6 or $2.74 per diluted share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively. Income from continuing operations was $140.4 or $0.75 per diluted share and $377.8 or $2.02 per diluted share for the comparable 2006 periods. The increase reflects the results discussed above.
 
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
 
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, the Company recognized $61.5 and $79.2 of income from discontinued operations, net of tax, compared to $3.1 and $62.5 in the comparable prior year period.
 
In addition to results of operations from the Company’s Switches businesses during 2007 and 2006, income from discontinued operations reflects an after-tax gain on the sale of a component of the Switches business of $63.7 and $58.7 for the third quarter and nine months of 2007, respectively, and a $42.3 after-tax gain on the sale of the Company’s automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business and the Company’s industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business during 2006.

Fluid Technology
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Fluid Technology business segment had sales and revenues of $858.4, an increase of $78.1 or 10.0% over the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, sales and revenues increased $46.2 or 5.9%, primarily benefiting from higher sales volumes and prices over the prior year. The Industrial Process business grew 16.8% on a constant currency basis resulting from continued strength in the chemical, power, mining and general industrial markets. The Residential & Commercial Water business increased sales 6.6% on a constant currency basis, as strength in commercial applications was partially offset by softness in the residential market. Water & Wastewater, up 1.9% on a constant currency basis, contributed to the overall increase, benefiting from strength in large pump sales and the dewatering business, offset by softness in the U.S. water treatment business.
 
For the first nine months of 2007, the Fluid Technology business segment had sales and revenues of $2,523.9, an increase of $292.6 or 13.1% over the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, sales and revenues grew $209.2 or 9.4% over the prior year. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to contributions from each of the segment’s businesses and resulted from the same factors described in the third quarter analysis presented above. In addition, acquisitions completed after the second quarter of 2006 contributed $26.8 million to the first half 2007 results of operations.
 
The Fluid Technology business segment received orders of $929.8 and $2,749.4 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively. On a constant currency basis, the segment received orders of $896.8 and $2,659.9 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007. Orders received during the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 totaled $821.3 and $2,381.6, respectively. The overall increase was primarily attributable to strength in the water transport business, particularly within the mining industry and the public utility/municipal markets, and continued strength in industrial project orders.
 
Operating income increased $12.9 or 13.2% and $44.9 or 17.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and contributions from acquisitions, operating income increased $7.8 or 8.0% and $33.2 or 12.7% over the same periods. The year-over-year increases were primarily driven by higher sales volumes, price increases and operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher material, facility rationalization, and compensation costs. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and contributions from acquisitions, operating margin for the third quarter

and first nine months of 2007 was 12.8% and 12.2%, respectively, compared to 12.5% and 11.8% for the same prior year periods.
 
Defense Electronics & Services
 
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Defense Electronics & Services business segment recorded revenues of $1,011.5 and $2,998.3, an increase of 5.7% and 10.8%, respectively, over the same prior year period. The benefit of new programs and sales growth on existing contracts, particularly at the Advanced Engineering & Services and Systems businesses, drove both year-over-year increases. In addition, volume declines within our Space Systems business due to lower content on certain platforms partially offset the segment’s overall performance.
 
The Defense Electronics & Services business segment received sales orders of $1,126.1 for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $1,056.5 during the same prior year period. 2007 year-to-date sales orders totaled $2,672.3 compared to $2,906.3 for 2006.
 
Operating income increased $24.5 or 21.8% and $68.3 or 22.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The year-over-year increases were driven by the previously mentioned sales drivers and increased operating efficiencies, particularly within the Aerospace/Communications business, partially offset by the above mentioned sales volume declines within the Space Systems business. Operating margins of 13.6% and 12.6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, were higher compared to 11.8% and 11.4% for the same prior year periods.
 
Motion & Flow Control
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Motion & Flow Control business segment had sales of $314.6, an increase of $47.6 or 17.8% over the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, sales increased $35.5 or 13.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to sales from acquisitions and double-digit organic growth from the Aerospace Controls and Friction Materials businesses. Acquisitions contributed sales of $11.6 during the third quarter of 2007, $11.1 of which related to IMC. Higher sales to the commercial, military and to a lesser extent the industrial markets drove the 26.1% year-over-year growth in the Aerospace Controls business, while higher volumes attributable to new European platforms and existing programs resulted in 14.0% growth in the Friction Materials business. Higher volumes of electronic components sales, particularly in Asia and the Americas, drove growth of 7.3% on a constant currency basis in the Connectors business. KONI sales increased 10.8% on a constant currency basis over the prior year, primarily due to higher volumes within the bus, truck and rail markets. The Marine & Leisure business, with sales growth of 2.7% on a constant currency basis, benefited from higher volumes in the marine, industrial and beverage markets, partially offset by results from a soft Spa/Whirlpool market.
 
For the first nine months of 2007, the Motion & Flow Control business segment had sales of $962.3, an increase of $132.4 or 16.0% over the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, sales grew 11.3% over the prior year. The year-over-year increase is attributable to contributions from each of the segment’s businesses and resulted from the same factors described in the third quarter analysis presented above. Acquisitions contributed $13.4 to the overall sales growth of the business segment.
 
The Motion & Flow Control business segment received orders of $325.7 and $984.4 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively. On a constant currency basis, the segment received orders of $312.6 and $944.3 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007. Orders received during the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 totaled $274.9 and $866.3, respectively.
 
Operating income increased $10.7 or 31.8% and $35.6 or 31.3% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and contributions from acquisitions, operating income increased 33.5% and 26.7% over the same periods. The year-over-year increase for both periods was primarily attributable to the higher sales volumes noted above, cost reduction initiatives and productivity improvements. These benefits were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative costs, including increased marketing expense and higher compensation costs. Additionally, gains recognized on the sale of assets during the second quarter of 2006 partially offset the nine month

year-over-year increase in operating income. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation and contributions from acquisitions, operating margins for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were 15.5% and 15.8%, respectively, compared to 12.6% and 13.7% for the same prior year periods.
 
Corporate and Other
 
Corporate expenses of $32.7 and $105.8 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 increased $3.5 and $21.9 compared to the same prior year periods, primarily reflecting higher bonus, stock-based compensation, and other compensation-related expense.

Payments of $14.6 were made during the first nine months of 2006 related to actions announced during that period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased $503.0 during the first nine months of 2007 to $1,440.1 as September 30, 2007. During the same period, the Company generated $490.1 of cash from operating activities and issued short-term debt of $532.8 and recognized $225.7 of proceeds from the sale of its Switches businesses, which it used to fund acquisitions and capital investments in the business as well as to return value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. On October 27, 2006, the Company committed to a three year $1 billion share repurchase program. The dividend has been increased 27% for 2007.
 
The Company expects to meet its funding requirements for currently anticipated acquisitions and capital expenditures, while continuing to return value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, through the utilization of its current balance of cash and cash equivalents, access to funds under its five-year revolving credit agreement and future cash flows from operations.

Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2007 increased $2.7 from the prior year. This increase is due to a $126.8 increase in income from continuing operations combined with a $94.6 improvement in cash from inventories across all three business segments. These increases in cash were partially offset by a $106.1 reduced cash benefit from accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily due to contract reserve adjustments as well as a payment of $30.0 towards $50.0 in fines, forfeitures and penalties the Company agreed to in conjunction with its settlement with the U.S. Government relating to ITT Night Vision’s compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. See Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for further discussion of the Night Vision matter. Also partially offsetting the increases in cash was $76.7 use of cash in accrued and deferred taxes, primarily related to increased tax payments of $88.1, combined with a $47.9 increased use of cash for accounts receivable mainly due to Fluid Technology business segment having higher volumes overall, including increased sales in Europe which have longer payment terms.
 
Investing Activities
 
Additions to Plant, Property and Equipment:
 
Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2007 were $108.2, an increase of $13.0 as compared to the first nine months of 2006. The Fluid Technology business segment increased its capital expenditures $26.7 largely from incremental investments in facilities in Asia and Eastern Europe. The Defense Electronics & Services business segment decreased its capital expenditures $5.5 primarily due to facility expansion investments in the first quarter of 2006. The Motion & Flow Control segment reduced its capital expenditures $5.4 primarily due to the timing of year-over-year investments.
 
Acquisitions:
 
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company spent $395.7 for the acquisition of three companies which are included in the Motion & Flow Control, Fluid Technology and Defense Electronics & Services business segments.
 
During the nine months of 2006, the Company spent $75.2 primarily for the acquisitions of two companies, one of which is included in the Defense Electronics & Services business segment and one of which is included in the Fluid Technology business segment.
 
Divestitures:
 
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its Switches businesses for net proceeds of $225.7. The Company expects to complete the sale of the remaining portion of the business to the same buyer within the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
During the first nine months of 2006, the Company completed the sale of Fluid Handling Systems and Richter for net proceeds of $212.5.

Financing Activities
 
The Company’s funding needs are monitored and strategies are executed to manage overall cash requirements and debt ratios. The Company’s current debt ratios have positioned it to continue to grow the business with investments for organic growth and through strategic acquisitions, while providing the ability to return value to shareholders through increased dividends and share repurchases.

Total debt at September 30, 2007 was $1.6 billion, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase primarily reflects the Company’s funding for acquisitions, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures and pension plan contributions.
 
The Company maintains a five-year revolving credit agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion which, at the Company’s discretion, could be increased up to an additional $500.0, for a total facility of $1.75 billion. The provisions of this agreement require that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 3.5 times. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s coverage ratio was well in excess of the minimum requirements.
 
Share Repurchases
 
In the first nine months of 2007, the Company spent $299.0 on the repurchase of common stock. Of this amount, $48.6 relates to 0.9 million shares which were acquired at the end of 2006 and settled in January 2007. The remaining $250.4 relates to 4.1 million shares repurchased in January through September of 2007. This activity is part of a three year $1 billion share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of 2006. In the first nine months of 2006, the Company spent $136.4 for the repurchase of 2.5 million shares to offset stock option exercises and restricted stock issuances.
 
Discontinued Operations — Operating Activities
 
During the first nine months of 2007, cash from operating activities of discontinued operations declined $73.9 to a use of $2.7 over the comparable prior year period. The primary driver of the decrease in cash flow was the absence of operating cash flows from FHS and Richter as a result of their disposition in the first quarter of 2006, combined with a reduction in cash flows from our Switches businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, primarily result from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the first nine months of 2007.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adopted the provisions set forth by FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $88.8. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase in liabilities of $26.1 for unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 5 “Income Taxes,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for further details related to the Company’s adoption.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This position statement eliminates the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities. This pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement provides the Company the option to elect to carry certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with change in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
The Company’s contractual obligations and commitments have not changed materially from those disclosed in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
Environmental Matters
 
The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations that affect its operating facilities and impose liability for the cleanup of past discharges of hazardous substances. In the United States, these laws include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with these and all other applicable environmental requirements. Environmental compliance costs are accounted for as normal operating expenses.

Table of Contents

In estimating the costs of environmental investigation and remediation, the Company considers, among other things, regulatory standards, its prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, and the professional judgment of environmental experts. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such problems, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in cleanup standards. When it is possible to create a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to environmental matters, the Company establishes accruals in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States. Insurance recoveries are included in other assets when it is probable that a claim will be realized. Although the outcome of the Company’s various remediation efforts presently cannot be predicted with a high level of certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For disclosure of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, see Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Note 22, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The following should be read in conjunction with Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this report, as well as Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries from time to time are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.

The above activity was part of a three year $1 billion share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of 2006. This program replaces the Company’s previous practice of covering shares granted or exercised in the context of ITT’s performance incentive plans. The program is consistent with the Company’s capital allocation process which is centered on those investments necessary to grow its businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders.
 
The Company’s strategy for cash flow utilization is to pay dividends first and then repurchase Company common stock to cover option exercises made pursuant to the Company’s stock option programs and restricted stock issuances. The remaining cash is then available for strategic acquisitions and discretionary repurchases of the Company’s common stock and repayment of debt.
