WOODWARD
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Overview:

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, the consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, were prepared by the company without audit. The September 30, 2005, consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Information in this 10-Q report is based in part on estimates and is subject to year-end adjustments and audit. In our opinion, the figures reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the company’s financial position as of December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The statements were prepared following the accounting policies described in the company’s 2005 annual report on Form 10-K and should be read with the notes to consolidated financial statements in the annual report. The consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year.

(2) Stock compensation:

We have granted stock options to key management members and directors of the company. These options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our stock at the date of grant, a four year graded vesting schedule, and a term of ten years. Vesting would be accelerated in the event of retirement, disability, or death of a participant, or change in control of the company.

Provisions governing our stock option grants are included in the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2002 Stock Option Plan. The 2006 Plan was approved by shareholders and became effective on January 25, 2006. No grants were issued in January 2006 and no further grants will be made under the 2002 Plan. The 2006 Plan made 1,235,000 shares available for grants made on or after January 25, 2006, to members and directors of the company, subject to annual award limits as specified in the Plan.

We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, beginning October 1, 2005, using the modified prospective transition method. This statement requires us to measure the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize cost over the

WOODWARD
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

requisite service period. Under the modified prospective transition method, financial statements for periods prior to the date of adoption are not adjusted for the change in accounting.

Prior to October 1, 2005, we used the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and therefore we did not recognize compensation expense in association with options granted at or above the market price of our common stock at the date of grant.

As a result of adopting the new standard, earnings before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2005, decreased by $878,000, and net earnings decreased by $544,000, or $0.04 per basic share and $0.04 per diluted share. These results reflect stock compensation expense of $878,000 and tax benefits of $334,000 for the period.

Adoption of the new standard also affected our presentation of cash flows. The change is related to tax benefits associated with tax deductions that exceed the amount of compensation expense recognized in financial statements. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, cash flow from operating activities was reduced by $1,170,000 and cash flow from financing activities was increased by $1,170,000 from amounts that would have been reported if we had not adopted the new accounting standard.

Concurrent with our adoption of the new statement, we began to use the non-substantive vesting period approach for attributing stock compensation to individual periods. The nominal vesting period approach was used in determining the stock compensation expense for our pro forma net earnings disclosure for the three months ended December 31, 2004, presented in a table that follows. The change in the attribution method will not affect the ultimate amount of stock compensation expense recognized, but it has accelerated the recognition of such expense for non-substantive vesting conditions, such as retirement eligibility provisions. Under both approaches, we elected to recognize stock compensation on a straight-line basis for options with graded vesting schedules. As a result of the change in attribution method, earnings before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2005, were reduced by approximately $270,000, and net earnings were reduced by $167,000, or $0.01 per basic share and $0.01 per diluted share.

The following table presents a reconciliation of reported net earnings and per share information to pro forma net earnings and per share information that would have been reported if the fair value method had been used to account for stock-based employee compensation last year:

The stock compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and the stock compensation expense used in the preceding disclosure of pro forma net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2004, was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that used the following assumptions by grant year:


	Three months			Year ended
	ended December			September
	31, 2005			30, 2005

Expected term	7 years			7 years
Expected volatility:
Range used		37	%		37% - 38	%
Weighted-average		37	%		37.7	%
Expected dividend yield:
Range used		1.73	%		1.65% - 1.73	%
Weighted-average		1.73	%		1.70	%
Risk-free interest rate:
Range used		4.48% - 4.57	%		3.98% - 4.18	%

Historical company information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected term, expected volatility, and expected dividend yield assumptions. The risk-free interest rate was selected based on yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

At December 31, 2005, there was $6,749,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

We excluded stock options for 180,437 shares for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and 59,718 shares for the three months ended December 31, 2004, from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

A three-for-one stock split was approved by shareholders at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders on January 25, 2006. The stock split will become effective for shareholders at the close of business on February 1, 2006. The following table presents the pro forma effect the split will have on weighted-average shares outstanding and earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, which will be reported in financial statements after the effective date of the stock split:

Salaries and other member benefits include accrued termination benefits totaling $1,424,000 at December 31, 2005, and $4,935,000 at September 30, 2005. These accrued termination benefits were in Industrial Controls. Changes in accrued termination benefits for the three months ended December 31, 2005, were as follows:

Foreign currency exchange rate changes		(107	)

Balance at December 31, 2005	$	1,424

The amounts expensed during the three-month period were for termination benefits earned by members over the period and are primarily related to the consolidation of one of the European manufacturing operations with existing operations. This action is being taken to streamline the organization by eliminating redundant manufacturing operations and is expected to be substantially complete by March 31, 2006. The total expense for this action is estimated to be approximately $16,000,000, of which $15,763,000 was recognized through December 31, 2005. In addition to the amounts reflected in the preceding table, we recognized other costs primarily associated with moving equipment and inventory to other locations totaling $1,953,000 through December 31, 2005. The remaining estimated amount of $237,000 is for costs associated with moving equipment and inventory to other locations and for termination benefits that will be earned by members over their remaining service period.

Provisions of our sales agreements include product warranties customary to such agreements. We establish accruals for specifically identified warranty issues that are probable to result in future costs. We also accrue for warranty costs on a non-specific basis whenever past experience indicates a normal and predictable pattern exists. Changes in accrued product warranties were as follows:

There are also individual matters that we believe the likelihood of a loss when ultimately resolved is less than likely but more than remote, which were not accrued. While it is possible that there could be additional losses that have not been accrued, we currently believe the possible additional loss in the event of an unfavorable resolution of each matter is less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate.

We also file income tax returns in various jurisdictions worldwide, which are subject to audit. We have accrued for our estimate of the most likely amount of expenses that we believe will result from income tax audit adjustments.

We do not recognize contingencies that might result in a gain until such contingencies are resolved and the related amounts are realized.

In the event of a change in control of the company, we may be required to pay termination benefits to certain executive officers.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We prepared the following discussion and analysis to help you better understand our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, and results of operations. This discussion should be read with the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Our business is focused on the design, manufacture, and servicing of energy control systems and components for aircraft and industrial engines and turbines. To penetrate our target markets — power generation, process industries, transportation, and aerospace — our strategy focuses on maintaining and developing technologies that are used in the development of components and integrated systems for power equipment used by customers worldwide.

We have two operating segments — Industrial Controls and Aircraft Engine Systems. Industrial Controls is focused on the technologies, components, integrated systems, power equipment, and customers for industrial markets, which includes power generation, process industries, and transportation. Aircraft Engine Systems is focused on the technologies, components, integrated systems, power equipment, and customers for the aerospace market. We use segment information internally to assess the performance of each segment and to make decisions on the allocation of resources.

Industrial Controls’ segment earnings more than doubled over the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to changes in the sales mix, higher sales mix, and productivity improvements. We are continuing to execute the consolidation of European operations to streamline our organization and to gain further production cost efficiencies. While the vast majority of the cost of the consolidation has already been recognized, most of its benefits will be realized in future quarters. When the actions are substantially completed at the end of our second quarter this year, we estimate that the annual savings will approximate $9 million to $11 million as compared to amounts that would have been incurred prior to the actions.

Aircraft Engine Systems’ first quarter earnings decreased $3.5 million from the first quarter a year ago; however, its first quarter results last year included a $3.8 million gain on the sale of product rights.

Increases in nonsegment expenses partially offset the net increase in segment earnings, primarily due to a higher level of professional services and a change in accounting for stock-based compensation. We adopted new accounting rules for

stock-based compensation at the beginning of this year’s first quarter. If we had applied the provisions of the new accounting rules to last year’s first quarter, our earnings before income taxes would have decreased by $0.6 million and net earnings would have decreased $0.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

At December 31, 2005, our total assets were $679 million, including $72 million in cash, and our total debt was $91 million. We are well positioned to fund expanded research and development and to explore other investment opportunities consistent with our focused strategies.

In the sections that follow, we are providing information to help you better understand factors that may affect our future results, our critical accounting policies and market risks, our results of operations and financial condition, and the effects of recent accounting pronouncements.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including:

• Projections of sales, earnings, cash flows, or other financial items;

• Descriptions of our plans and objectives for future operations;

• Forecasts of future economic performance; and

• Descriptions of assumptions underlying the above items.

Forward-looking statements do not reflect historical facts. Rather, they are statements about future events and conditions and often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions. Such statements reflect our expectations about the future only as of the date they are made. We are not obligated to, and we might not, update our forward-looking statements to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made. Furthermore, actual results could differ materially from projections or any other forward-looking statement regardless of when they are made.

Important factors that could individually, or together with one or more other factors, affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition are in the management discussion and analysis in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider the accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements to be critical accounting policies when they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies normally result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the company’s Board of Directors. In each of the areas that were identified as critical accounting policies, our judgments, estimates, and assumptions are impacted by conditions that change over time. As a result, in the future there could be changes in our assets and liabilities, increases or decreases in our expenses, and additional losses or gains that are material to our financial condition and results of operations. Our critical accounting policies are discussed more fully in the management discussion and analysis in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Market Risks

Our long-term debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Also, assets, liabilities, and commitments that are to be settled in cash and are denominated in foreign currencies for transaction purposes are sensitive to changes in currency exchange rates. These market risks are discussed more fully in the management discussion and analysis in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Results of Operations

Sales


	Three months
	ended
	December 31,
(In thousands)	2005		2004

External net sales:
Industrial Controls	$	124,459	$	122,355
Aircraft Engine Systems		71,175		66,970

Consolidated net sales	$	195,634	$	189,325

Consolidated net sales increased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was most evident in Aircraft Engine Systems, where higher demand for narrow- and wide-body aircraft OEM and aftermarket products was the primary source of year-over-

year growth. Boeing and Aircraft have both increased production of aircraft, largely driven by orders from commercial airlines in Asia. We also believe higher revenue passenger miles are being experienced by commercial airlines generally, which drives aircraft usage and has a positive effect on our aftermarket sales. These increases were partially offset by lower sales to OEMs for products aimed at the regional jet market due to an industry-wide reduction of regional jet demand following a period of relatively high growth.

The increase in Industrial Controls sales reflected higher demand in power generation markets over the same quarter a year ago, offset partially by decreases in transportation sales. Power generation improvement projects in Asia and Eastern Europe continue to drive the increases in the market for power generation products. The decrease in sales in the transportation markets are related to alternative fuel systems that are sold to Chinese OEMs, which we believe is related to the production and ordering patterns typical in the Chinese market. Customers in China have shown a tendency to batch their orders and engine production in such a manner that results in greater quarterly variability than is typical among customers in other markets.

Costs and Expenses


	Three months

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2005			2004

Cost of goods sold	$	141,939		$	143,273
Sales, general, and administrative expenses		21,057			18,697
Research and development costs		11,910			10,605

Interest and other income		(1,671	)		(5,536	)

Consolidated costs and expenses	$	176,515		$	170,285

Cost of goods sold decreased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period last year. Changes in sales mix and productivity improvements in Industrial Controls more than offset the effect of higher sales on a consolidated basis. Cost of goods sold represented 72.6% of sales in this year’s first quarter, down from 75.7% in the same quarter a year ago. We attribute the change in Industrial Controls’ sales mix in the first quarter year-over-year comparison to normal quarterly variation. However, the productivity improvements reflected the results of specific actions taken to improve Industrial Controls’

performance, including the favorable effects of the consolidation of European operations.

Sales, general, and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of professional services in this year’s first quarter as compared to a year ago and a change in accounting for stock-based compensation. The level of professional services varies on a quarterly basis, and expenses are recognized in the period services are provided. Stock-based compensation is discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Research and development costs increased in three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year reflecting higher levels of development activity in both segments. Among other programs, Aircraft Engine Systems is developing components and the integrated fuel system for the new GEnx turbofan engine for the Boeing 787, Airbus A350, and Boeing 747-8, and components for the GE Rolls-Royce F136 engine and T700-GE-701D engine for use in military applications. Industrial Controls is also developing products in conjunction with customers’ development programs, as well as developing products for the turbine auxiliary market. Turbine auxiliary applications offer multiple opportunities to leverage our exiting hydraulic and electric actuation and valve technologies for off-engine applications.

Interest and other income decreased in the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year. Last years’ first quarter results included a pre-tax gain of $3.8 million from the sale of rights to our aircraft propeller synchronizer products to an unrelated third party.

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted a new accounting standard for stock-based compensation beginning October 1, 2005 – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” This standard requires us to measure employee compensation made in the form of stock-based instruments at the grant-date fair value of the stock-based award and to recognize the compensation over the requisite service period. Upon adoption, we used the modified prospective application transition method, under which prior periods are not restated in the financial statements.

granted at or above the market price of our common stock at the date of grant.

The effect of adopting the new accounting standard on earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2005, was that earnings before income taxes were reduced by $0.9 million and net earnings were reduced by $0.5 million, or $0.04 per basic share and $0.04 per diluted share. Stock compensation is accounted for as a nonsegment expense. We expect stock compensation expense in the immediate future to be at levels similar to the amount recognized in the first quarter.

If we had applied the provisions of the new accounting standard last year, our earnings before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2004, would have been reduced by $0.6 million and our net earnings would have been reduced by $0.3 million, or $0.03 per basic share and $0.03 per diluted share.

Adoption of the new accounting standards also affected our presentation of cash flows. The change is related to tax benefits associated with tax deductions that exceed the amount of compensation expense recognized in financial statements. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, cash flow from operations was reduced by $1.2 million and cash flow from financing activities was increased by $1.2 million from amounts that would have been reported prior to the accounting change.

At December 31, 2005, the amount of stock compensation expense that has not yet been recognized totaled $6.7 million. This amount is related to stock options that have been granted but have not yet vested. We currently expect to recognize an additional $2.1 million of stock compensation for these options over the remainder of the year ending September 31, 2006.

Workforce Management Actions


	Three months
	ended
	December 31,
(In thousands)	2005		2004

Member termination benefits- Industrial Controls	$	70		$ 488

The amounts expensed during the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, were for termination benefits earned by members over the period and are primarily related to the consolidation of one of the European manufacturing operations with existing operations in Industrial Controls. This action is being taken to streamline the organization by eliminating

redundant manufacturing operations and is expected to be substantially complete by March 31, 2006. These actions are discussed more fully in the management discussion and analysis in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Since the inception of these workforce management actions through December 31, 2005, we have expensed $15.8 million. Our total estimated cost for the actions is $16.0 million, which includes an additional $0.2 million that we expect to incur in future periods. Expenses incurred to date include $12.0 million for member termination benefits under ongoing termination benefit plans, $1.8 million of contractual pension termination benefits, and $2.0 million for other costs primarily associated with moving equipment and inventory to other locations. With the exception of the $1.8 million for contractual pension termination benefits, all expenses are cash expenses that have been or will be paid from available cash balances in 2005 and 2006 without the need for additional borrowings.

Once fully implemented, we expect our pretax expenses will be $9.0 million to $11.0 million lower than they would have been prior to the actions. The lower expenses are primarily related to reductions in personnel costs, although we anticipate some savings in travel and other costs due to the reduced headcount. Of the total savings, approximately 90% is expected to affect cost of goods sold and 10% selling, general, and administrative expenses. A portion of the savings is reflected in the results for the three months ended December 31, 2005, which will increase through the end of the second quarter when the actions are completed. The effect of these actions is considered as part of our outlook for the year, which is discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Earnings


	Three months
	ended
	December 31,
(In thousands)	2005			2004

Segment earnings:
Industrial Controls	$	11,545		$	5,055
Aircraft Engine Systems		14,812			18,312

Total segment earnings		26,357			23,367
Nonsegment expenses		(6,584	)		(3,593	)
Interest expense and income		(654	)		(734	)

Consolidated earnings before income taxes		19,119			19,040
Income taxes		6,692			7,045

Consolidated net earnings	$	12,427		$	11,995

Industrial Controls’ segment earnings increased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year. Changes in sales mix, higher sales levels, and productivity improvements were the primary drivers for the increase in earnings. Higher research and development costs partially offset the effects of these factors.

Industrial Controls had a higher gross margin (external net sales less external cost of goods sold) as a percent of sales in the first three months this year as compared to a year ago, due to changes in sales mix and productivity improvements. We attribute the change in Industrial Controls’ sales mix in the first quarter year-over-year comparison to normal quarterly variation. However, the productivity improvements reflected the results of specific actions taken to improve Industrial Controls’ performance, including the favorable effects of the consolidation of European operations.

The increase in Industrial Controls’ research and development costs was discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Aircraft Engine Systems’ segment earnings decreased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period last year. The primary reason last year’s earnings were higher is because of a gain in that period of $3.8 million from the sale of rights to our aircraft propeller synchronizer products to an unrelated third party. Increases in earnings related to higher year-over-year sales were offset by higher research and development costs.

The increase in Aircraft Engine Systems’ research and development costs was discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Nonsegment expenses increased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of professional services in this year’s first quarter as compared to a year ago and a change in accounting for stock-based compensation. The level of professional services varies on a quarterly basis, and expenses are recognized in the period services are provided. Stock-based compensation is discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Income taxes were provided at an effective rate on earnings before income taxes of 35.0% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, compared to 37.0% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2004. The tax rate for the year ended September 30, 2005, was 29.2%. The change in the effective tax rate from last year’s full year rate to this year’s first quarter rate was attributable to the following (as a percent of earnings before income taxes):


•	Change in estimates of taxes in the year ended September 31, 2005 for previous years	2.5	%
•	Expiration of tax credit for increasing research activities (expired on December 31, 2005)	1.3	%
•	Phase-out of the extraterritorial income exclusion	1.1	%
•	Other changes, net	0.9	%

Income taxes in fiscal year 2005 were affected by changes in estimates of income taxes for previous years, which resulted from increases in the amounts of certain credits claimed and changes in the amount of certain deductions taken.

Among the other changes in our effective tax rate were the effects of changes in the relative mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction, which affects the comparison of foreign and state income tax rates relative to the United States federal statutory rate.

Outlook: Our outlook for the year ending September 30, 2006, is consistent with what we previously reported, with sales growth of 3% to 6% and earnings per share of $5.00 to $5.25 per diluted share.

Our sales growth expectation is based on our belief that Industrial Controls’ sales will grow between 2% and 3% this year over last year, and that Aircraft Engine Systems’ sales will grow between 7% and 9%.

Our earnings expectation is a result of the expected sales increase and improvements in Industrial Controls’ segment earnings. We anticipate that Industrial Controls’ segment earnings will increase to approximately 10% of sales. Among other factors, the improvement in Industrial Controls’ earnings includes savings resulting from the consolidation of our European operations, which were discussed more fully in another section of this management’s discussion and analysis. Aircraft Engine Systems’ segment earnings are expected to remain near the levels achieved in the last two years in relation to its sales.

Our net earnings expectation for the year includes expense for stock compensation that resulted from the adoption of a new accounting standard at the beginning of the year. Had we adopted the provisions of the new standard last year, our net earnings for the year ended September 30, 2005, would have decreased by $0.11 per diluted share. Stock compensation is discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

Consolidated total assets	$	678,879	$	705,466

Industrial Controls’ segment assets decreased in the three months ended December 31, 2005. Accounts receivable balances were lower due to normal variations in the timing of billings and collections that occur near the end of December as opposed to the end of September. Industrial Controls’ net property, plant, and equipment and intangibles also decreased, as depreciation and amortization exceeded additions during the quarter.

Nonsegment assets decreased in the three months ended December 31, 2005, primarily because of decreases in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in cash for the quarter are discussed more fully in a separate section of this management’s discussion and analysis.

We currently have a revolving line of credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks totaling $100 million, with an option to increase the amount of the line to $175 million if we choose. The line of credit facility expires on March 11, 2010. In addition, we have other line of credit facilities, which totaled $26.4 million at September 30, 2005, that are generally reviewed annually for renewal.

Provisions of debt agreements include covenants customary to such agreements that require us to maintain specified minimum or maximum financial measures and place limitations on various investing and financing activities. The agreements also permit the lenders to accelerate repayment requirements in the event of a material adverse event. Our most restrictive covenants require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, a maximum consolidated debt to consolidated operating cash flow, and a maximum consolidated debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2005.

We enter into purchase obligations with suppliers in the normal course of business, on a short-term basis.

Commitments and contingencies at December 31, 2005, include various matters arising from the normal course of business. We are currently involved in pending or threatened litigation or other legal proceedings regarding employment, product liability, and contractual matters. We accrued for individual

matters that we believe are likely to result in a loss when ultimately resolved using estimates of the most likely amount of loss. There are also individual matters that we believe the likelihood of a loss when ultimately resolved is less than likely but more than remote, which were not accrued. While it is possible that there could be additional losses that have not been accrued, we currently believe the possible additional loss in the event of an unfavorable resolution of each matter is less than $10 million in the aggregate.

We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions worldwide, which are subject to audit. We have accrued for our estimate of the most likely amount of expense that we believe will result from income tax audit adjustments.

We do not recognize contingencies that might result in a gain until such contingencies are resolved and the related amounts are realized.

In the event of a change in control of the company, we may be required to pay termination benefits to certain executive officers.

Shareholders’ equity increased in the three months ended December 31, 2005. Increases due to net earnings, sales of treasury stock, stock compensation expense, and excess tax benefits from stock compensation during the three months were partially offset by cash dividend payments and purchases of treasury stock.

On January 26, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of our outstanding shares of common stock on the open market and private transactions over a three-year period. Through December 31, 2005, we purchased $8.3 million of our common stock under this authorization.

A three-for-one stock split was approved by shareholders at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders on January 25, 2006. This stock split will become effective for shareholders at the close of business on February 1, 2006. The effects of the stock split have not been reflected in the financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q. The pro forma effect the split will have on weighted-average shares outstanding and earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. The effect of the stock split will be reflected in future financial statements issued after the effective date of the split.

Net cash used in investing Activities		(4,749	)		(4,331	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(7,880	)		(1,268	)

Net cash flows for operating activities decreased by $11.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period last year. Both operating cash receipts and disbursement increased in the three-month period this year compared to last year due to higher sales volume. However, cash paid to employees and suppliers increased at a greater rate than cash collected from customers, primarily because higher variable compensation payments were made for amounts earned and accrued for the previous fiscal year.

Net cash flows used for financing activities increased by $6.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of changes in borrowing activity. Net payments on borrowings totaled $4.6 million in this year’s first quarter compared to $0.1 million a year ago.

On January 26, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of our common stock on the open market and private transactions over a three-year period. Approximately $21.7 million of shares may yet be purchased under this authorization at December 31, 2005.

Outlook: Future cash flows from operations and available revolving lines of credit are expected to be adequate to meet our cash requirements over the next twelve months.

Payments of our senior notes, which totaled $64.3 million at December 31, 2005, are due over the 2007 — 2012 timeframe. Also, we have a $100 million line of credit facility that includes an option to increase the amount of the line up to $175 million that does not expire until March 11, 2010. Despite these factors, it is possible business acquisitions could be made in the future that would require amendments to existing debt agreements and the need to obtain additional financing.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our long-term debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Also, assets, liabilities and commitments that are to be settled in cash and are denominated in foreign currencies are sensitive to changes in currency exchange rates. These market risks are discussed more fully in the management discussion and analysis in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer (Thomas A. Gendron, president and chief executive officer) and principal financial officer (Robert F. Weber, Jr., chief financial officer and treasurer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Thomas A. Gendron, our president and chief executive officer, and Robert F. Weber, Jr., our chief financial officer and treasurer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving the objectives for which they were designed as described in the preceding paragraph.

Furthermore, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
