The Company is not dependent to any material extent on any single patent or group of patents.

Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business

The Company’s backlog by business segment for the past two fiscal years, as set forth on pages 13-5 to 13-6 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is incorporated into this section by reference. The Company’s backlog at June 30, 2007 was approximately $2,935,232,549 and at June 30, 2006 was approximately $2,695,876,258. Approximately 87% of the Company’s backlog at June 30,

 

- 5 -


2007 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s business generally is not seasonal in nature.

Environmental Regulation

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the U.S. federal “Superfund” law, under which the Company has been designated as a “potentially responsible party” and may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company is involved in environmental remediation at 34 manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at one off-site waste disposal facility and three regional sites.

The Company believes that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management effort and expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have in the future, material effects on the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company has a reserve of $17,832,500 for environmental matters which are probable and reasonably estimable. This reserve is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties.

The Company’s estimated total liability for the above mentioned sites ranges from a minimum of $17,832,500 to a maximum of $73,148,029. The largest estimate for any one site is approximately $7,854,753. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final delineation of contamination, final determination of remedial action required, negotiations with federal and state agencies with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technology, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ultimate ability to pay of the other responsible parties, and any insurance or third-party recoveries.

Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

The Company’s primary energy source for each of its business segments is electric power. While the Company cannot predict future costs of such electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric power will be coal from substantial, proven coal reserves available to electric utilities. The Company is subject to governmental regulations in regard to energy supplies both in the United

 

- 6 -


States and elsewhere. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions of its operations due to energy curtailments.

Steel, brass, aluminum, elastomeric and thermoplastic materials and chemicals are the principal raw materials used by the Company. These materials are available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.

Employees

The Company employed 57,338 persons as of June 30, 2007, of whom approximately 28,873 were employed by foreign subsidiaries.

Business Segment Information

The Company’s net sales, segment operating income and identifiable assets by business segment and net sales and long-lived assets by geographic area for the past three fiscal years, as set forth on pages 13-14 to 13-15 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, are incorporated into this section by reference.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

During fiscal year 2007, the Company completed a number of acquisitions. The description of these transactions, as set forth on pages 13-21 to 13-22 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risk factors, including, but not limited to those set forth below, any one of which could cause actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results. These risk factors should be considered together with information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors described below are those that the Company believes are currently the most significant. Additional risk factors not currently known to the Company or that the Company believes are immaterial also may impair the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to risks relating to its foreign operations.

In fiscal year 2007, approximately 43% of the Company’s net sales were derived from customers outside the United States. In addition, many of the Company’s manufacturing operations and suppliers are located outside the United States. The Company expects net sales from foreign markets to continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales. The Company’s foreign operations are subject to risk in addition to those risks of its domestic operations, including:

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

- 7 -


   

limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings;

 

   

transportation delays and interruptions;

 

   

political, social and economic instability and disruptions;

 

   

government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions;

 

   

the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

   

import and export controls;

 

   

labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;

 

   

the potential for nationalization of enterprises;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;

 

   

limitations on its ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; and

 

   

potentially adverse tax consequences.

If the Company is unable to manage successfully the risks associated with expanding its global business or adequately manage operational fluctuations internationally, the risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Demand for and supply of the Company’s products may be adversely affected by numerous factors, some of which the Company cannot predict or control, which could adversely affect its results of operations.

Numerous factors may affect the demand for and supply of the Company’s products, including:

 

   

changes in the market acceptance of its products;

 

   

increased competition in the markets it serves;

 

   

changes in economic conditions in individual markets;

 

   

declines in the general level of industrial production; or

 

   

declines in the availability or increases in the prices of raw materials.

If any of these factors occur, the demand for and supply of the Company’s products could suffer, which would adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment.

The Company’s domestic and foreign operations are subject to significant competitive pressures. To compete successfully, the Company’s Industrial Segment and Climate & Industrial Controls Segment must excel in terms of product quality and innovation, customer service, manufacturing and distribution capability and price competitiveness and its Aerospace Segment must excel on the basis of technological and engineering capability, quality, delivery and service, and price competitiveness. The financial resources and performance of certain of the Company’s competitors may put the Company at a competitive disadvantage, which would adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company’s future growth is partly dependent on the development of new products and technologies and preservation of its intellectual property.

 

- 8 -


The markets the Company operates in are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and frequent introductions of new products and services. The Company’s ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect its competitive position and often requires the investment of significant resources. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may significantly reduce future revenues and materially adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

Protecting the Company’s intellectual property is critical to its innovation efforts. The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks and licenses related to its products and has exclusive and non-exclusive rights under patents owned by others. The Company’s intellectual property may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties or the Company may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms. Unauthorized use of the Company’s intellectual property rights or inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights could materially adversely impact the Company’s competitive position and results of operations.

The raw materials used in the Company’s production processes and by its suppliers of component parts are subject to price and supply fluctuations that could increase the Company’s costs of products and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s supply of raw materials for its businesses could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing. Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated significantly in the past and significant increases could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and profit margins. While the Company generally attempts to pass along increased raw material prices to its customers in the form of price increases, there may be a time delay between the increased raw material prices and the Company’s ability to increase the price of its products, or it may be unable to increase the prices of its products due to pricing pressure or other factors.

The Company’s suppliers of component parts may significantly and quickly increase their prices in response to increases in costs of raw materials that they use to manufacture their component parts. In those circumstances, the Company may not be able to increase its prices commensurately with its increased costs. Consequently, its results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

The Company may face limitations on its ability to complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses.

The Company expects to continue its strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses with complementary products and services that it believes will enhance its operations and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to find suitable businesses to purchase or that it will be able to acquire such businesses on acceptable terms.

In addition, no guarantee can be given that the Company will be able to integrate successfully any business that it purchases into its existing business or that any acquired businesses will be profitable. The successful integration of new businesses depends on the Company’s ability to manage these new businesses and cut excess costs. If the Company is unable to complete the integration of new businesses

 

- 9 -


in a timely manner, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Potential product liability risks exist from the products that the Company sells.

The Company’s businesses expose it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of its products and the products of third-party vendors that it uses or resells. The Company currently maintains what it believes to be suitable and adequate product liability insurance. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain its product liability insurance on acceptable terms or that its product liability insurance will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. In the event of a claim against it, a lack of sufficient insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Moreover, even if it maintains adequate insurance, any successful claim could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and on the ability to obtain suitable or adequate insurance.

The Company may be adversely affected by the impact of environmental and safety regulations to which it is subject.

The Company’s operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, it is subject to various U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for non-compliance and liability for response costs, property damage and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or the exposure to, hazardous materials. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the U.S. federal “Superfund” law, under which it has been designated as a “potentially responsible party” and may be liable for clean-up costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list. The Company could incur substantial costs as a result of non-compliance with or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under environmental laws, including the Superfund law.

The Company may be subject to more stringent environmental laws in the future. If more stringent environmental laws are enacted in the future, these laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company does business with the U.S government and as such is subject to increased government regulations.

In addition to normal business risks, doing business with the U.S. government subjects the Company to increased risks, including dependence on the level of government spending and compliance with and changes in governmental procurement regulations. Agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification, either at the convenience of the government or for the Company’s failure to perform under the applicable contract. The Company is subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement regulations. If the Company were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any

 

- 10 -


such investigation, it could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Changes in the Company’s tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect profitability.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix among earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets or tax laws. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts reserved, future financial results may include unfavorable adjustments to the Company’s tax liabilities.

Increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The amount of expenses recorded for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans is dependent on changes in market interest rates and the value of plan assets, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns. Significant changes in market interest rates and decreases in the fair value of plan assets and investment losses on plan assets may adversely affect the Company’s future results of operations.

The Company believes that its properties have been adequately maintained, are in good condition generally and are suitable and adequate for its business as presently conducted. The extent of utilization of the Company’s properties varies among its plants and from time to time. The Company’s

restructuring efforts over the past several years have brought capacity levels closer to present and anticipated needs. Most of the Company’s material manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling additional volume increases.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings. On April 27, 2007, a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida issued a subpoena to the Company’s subsidiary, Parker ITR. The subpoena requires the production of documents, in particular documents related to communications with competitors and customers related to Parker ITR’s marine oil and gas hose business. The Company is responding to this subpoena. On May 7, 2007, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (“JFTC”) requested that Parker ITR appoint an agent related to an investigation of marine hose suppliers. Parker ITR appointed such an agent by power of attorney. Parker ITR has also been required to submit a report to the JTFC on specific topics. The Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate with the JFTC. On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued a Request for Information to the Company and its subsidiary, Parker ITR. After the Company and Parker ITR filed a response the European Commission requested additional information. The Company and Parker ITR continue to cooperate with the European Commission

In addition, there are currently four class action lawsuits pending in the Southern District of Florida and one in the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company, Parker ITR and a number of other defendants engaged in violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The class action complaints allege that Parker ITR and the other defendants, for a period of at least eight years, conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States. In three cases, a summons has been issued for Parker ITR, but service has not yet been effected. The Company, which is only named in one case in the Southern District of Florida, was served on July 13, 2007 and had filed its answer denying the allegations.

(1) On August 16, 1990, the Company publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of its common stock. From time to time, the Board of Directors has adjusted the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program. On January 25, 2007, the Company publicly announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for repurchase under this program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was equal to 10 million. There is no expiration date for this program.

On August 16, 2007, the Company publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the accelerated repurchase of $500 million worth of its common stock. This authorization is in addition to the repurchase program described above.

ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data. The information set forth on page 13-44 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The information set forth on pages 13-2 to 13-12 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s foreign locations

 

- 23 -


enter into various financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of non-performance by the Company. The total carrying amount and fair value amount of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these arrangements is not material to the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt, thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt by approximately $2,051,323.

For further discussion, see the discussion of Significant Accounting Policies Footnote on pages 13-19 to 13-20 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated into this section by reference.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of fiscal year 2007. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of fiscal year 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting set forth on page 13-41 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm set forth on pages 13-42 and 13-43 of Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated into this section by reference.

Under the Company’s 2006-07-08 and 2007-08-09 LTI awards, payouts will be made in restricted stock unless the participant has made a prior deferral election pursuant to the Executive Deferral Plan. Payouts are determined by comparing the Company’s results during the performance period to the performance of a group of its peers during the same period for the following weighted performance measures: (a) compound annual revenue growth (20% weight); (b) compound annual growth in fully-diluted earnings per share (40% weight); and (c) average return on invested capital (40% weight). Also includes 56,254 phantom shares being held in an account pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Deferral Plan (which Plan has not been approved by shareholders). The phantom shares resulted from exercises of stock options granted under the Company’s 1990 Employees Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the shareholders. No further deferral elections may be made under the Company’s Stock Option Deferral Plan.
(3) The total number of securities available for issuance under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 9,000,000; plus (ii) the amount of any shares that are not delivered to an employee by reason of (A) the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of an award under the Company’s 1993 Stock Incentive Program; and (B) the tendering or withholding of shares to satisfy all or a portion of the exercise price or tax withholding obligations relating to shares issued or distributed under an award under the 1993 Stock Incentive Program. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan as restricted stock is limited to 5,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Company’s 2004 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan is 250,000. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Plan, as amended and restated, is 230,000, all of which are granted as common stock, subject to such conditions or restrictions as the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may determine.
(4) The Company’s 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of up to 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to stock options granted to the Company’s Directors who are not current or retired employees of the Company. Each option was granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the options were granted. Grants have a ten-year term and vest 50% following one year of continued service and the remaining 50% following the second year of continued service from the date granted. No further options will be granted under the 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan.
