Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 20.4% in Q2 and 22.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Growth was driven by higher volume (12.6% contribution), acquisitions (specifically the 2004 acquisition of Remote Sensing Systems), and foreign currency translation.
- Operating Income: Increased 32.5% in Q2 and 25.3% for the six months. This was primarily due to improved sales volumes across segments, partially offset by higher employee benefit costs, process improvement expenditures, and marketing costs.

- Segment Performance:
- Defense Electronics & Services: Sales up 46.9% (Q2) and 49.9% (6M), driven by the RSS acquisition and higher volume in night vision and electronic warfare.
- Fluid Technology: Sales up 12.8% (Q2) and 12.1% (6M), driven by water/wastewater markets.

Investor Verification Checklist

- Pension Assumptions: Review the sensitivity of pension obligations to changes in discount rates and actual returns on plan assets, as these significantly impact net periodic pension cost.
- Discontinued Operations Tax Settlement: Confirm the resolution of the $154.1 million tax liability related to the 1998 automotive divestitures in the second half of 2005.
- Environmental Liabilities: Track the status of the 80 environmental sites and the potential variance between the best estimate ($96.3 million) and the high-range estimate ($150.2 million).
