BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
(1) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Stock Split
 
On November 14, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend on its common stock.  To implement this stock split, shares of common stock were issued on December 17, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 6, 2007.  All prior year share and per share amounts disclosed in this document have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split.
 
(2) Research and Development
 
The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on research and development (“R&D”) activities:

Customer reimbursements
    (13.9 )     (8.3 )     (23.4 )     (17.9 )
Net R&D expenditures
  $ 57.8     $ 56.7     $ 115.3     $ 107.6  

The Company’s net R&D expenditures are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures upon billing of services performed.  The Company has contracts with several customers at the
 
6

Company’s various R&D locations.  No such contract exceeded $6 million in any of the periods presented.
 
(3) Income Taxes
 
The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income.  In the first quarter of 2008, the projected global effective tax rate was estimated to be 26% for the full year of 2008.  With a projected decrease in U.S. income, the projected global effective tax rate for full year 2008 is 25%.  This rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including R&D and foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates’ earnings and a Medicare prescription drug benefit.  This rate is expected to be less than the full year 2007 global effective tax rate of 26.5% primarily due to the year over year projected decrease in U.S. income and changes in tax laws, primarily in Europe.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $16.6 million reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.  At December 31, 2007, the Company reported $71.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits; approximately $62.5 million represent the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s global effective income tax rate in future periods.
 
At June 30, 2008, the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $66.0 million.  Included in the balance at June 30, 2008 are $­­­56.3 million of tax positions that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would reduce the global effective tax rate.  The reduction in the gross unrecognized tax benefits is primarily due to a $6.6 million cash payment to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to resolve agreed upon issues of the ongoing IRS examination of the Company’s 2002-2004 tax year.  The Company is appealing an issue related to the 2002-2004 IRS audit during 2008, which is not expected to be resolved in the next 12 months.  In addition, the Company’s federal, certain state and certain non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.  Any other possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months cannot be reasonably estimated.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  The Company had $9.7 million accrued at December 31, 2007 for the payment of any such interest and penalties.  The Company had approximately $10.9 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2008.
 
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major tax jurisdictions as follows:

 2004 and prior
 
 
In certain tax jurisdictions the Company may have more than one taxpayer.  The table above reflects the status of the major taxpayer in each major tax jurisdiction.
 
(4) Marketable Securities
 
As of June 30, 2008 the Company had no investments in marketable securities.  At December 31, 2007, the Company held $14.6 million in marketable securities, primarily bank notes.  The securities were carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income.  As of December 31, 2007, $7.3 million of the contractual maturities were within one to five years and $7.3 million were due beyond five years.
 
(5) Sales of Receivables
 
The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions without recourse.  The amount sold can vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables.  At both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had sold $50 million of receivables under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse.  During both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total cash proceeds from sales of accounts receivable were $300 million.  The Company paid servicing fees related to these receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $0.4 million and $0.7 million and $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  These amounts are recorded in interest expense and finance charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(6) Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The cost of U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the operations outside the U.S. use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods.  Inventories consisted of the following:

  $ 1,701.8     $ 1,609.1  

Interest costs capitalized during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $5.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, accounts payable of $31.9 million and $30.4 million, respectively, were related to property, plant and equipment purchases.
 
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, specific assets of $17.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral under certain of the Company’s long-term debt agreements.
 
(8) Product Warranty
 
The Company provides warranties on some of its products.  The warranty terms are typically from one to three years.  Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold.  These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims.  Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims.  While management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the
 
 
9

accrual.  The accrual is recorded in both long-term and short-term liabilities on the balance sheet.  The following table summarizes the activity in the warranty accrual accounts:

(a) The Company entered into several interest rate swaps, which have the effect of converting $325.0 million of these fixed rate notes to variable rates as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The weighted average effective interest rates for these borrowings, including the effects of outstanding swaps as noted in Note 11, were 5.0% as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
 
The Company has a multi-currency revolving credit facility, which provides for borrowings up to $600 million through July 2009.  At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.  The credit agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to an investment grade company.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2008 and expects to remain compliant in future periods.  The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $21.9 million at June 30, 2008 and $22.0 million at December 31, 2007.  The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
 
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $580.2 million and $572.4 million, respectively.  The estimated fair values were $41.3 million
 
 
10

higher at June 30, 2008 and $33.7 million higher at December 31, 2007 than their respective carrying values. Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of quarter-end and year-end.  The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.
 
(10) Fair Value Measurements
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted as required, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 – “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which expands the disclosure of fair value measurements and its impact on the Company’s financial statements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delayed the effective date of adoption with respect to certain non-financial assets and liabilities until 2009.  We intend to defer the adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to certain non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted.
 
Statement No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:
 
           Level 1:           Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157:
 
           Market approach:
Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
 
Cost approach:
Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
           Income approach:
Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

(11) Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the book value approximates fair value. The Company’s financial instruments also include long-term debt, interest rate and currency swaps, commodity swap contracts, and foreign currency forward contracts.  All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, credit rating of “A-“ or better.
 
The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs.  The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges).  The Company also selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges).

(a)  The maturity of the swaps corresponds with the maturity of the hedged item as noted in the debt summary, unless otherwise indicated.

Effectiveness for fair value and net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship. If specified criteria for the assumption of effectiveness are not met at hedge inception, effectiveness is assessed quarterly. Ineffectiveness is measured quarterly and results are recognized in earnings.
 
The interest rate swaps that are fair value hedges were determined to be exempt from ongoing tests of their effectiveness as hedges at the time of the hedge inception. This determination was made based upon the fact that the swaps matched the underlying debt terms for the following factors: notional amount, fixed interest rate, interest settlement dates, and maturity date. Additionally, the fair value of the swap was zero at the time of inception, the variable rate is based on a benchmark, with no floor or ceiling, and the interest bearing liability is not pre-payable at a price other than its fair value.
 
Fair values of fixed to floating interest rate swaps are based on observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and other external valuation methodology (Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157).  See Note 10 for further discussion of fair value measurements.  As of June 30, 2008, the fair values of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps were recorded as a current asset of $1.1 million and a non-current asset of $8.1 million, with a corresponding increase in current portion of long-term debt of $1.1 million and in long-term debt of $8.1 million.  As of December 31, 2007, the fair values of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps were recorded as a non-current asset of $9.1 million, with a corresponding increase in long-term debt of $9.1 million.  No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in relation to fixed to floating swaps.
 
Fair values of cross currency swaps are based on observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, currency exchange rates and other external valuation methodology (Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157).  See Note 10 for further discussion of fair value measurements.  As of June 30, 2008, the fair values of the cross currency swaps were recorded as a current liability of $22.9 million and a non-current liability of $34.4 million.  As of December 31, 2007, the fair values of the cross currency swaps were recorded as a non-current liability of $33.7 million.  Hedge ineffectiveness related to cross currency swaps was unfavorable $1.7 million as of June 30, 2008 and unfavorable $1.6 million as of December 31, 2007.  As of June 30, 2008, there were no foreign currency forward contracts designated as a net investment hedge.  As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as a net investment hedge
 
 
13

was negligible.
 
The Company also entered into certain commodity derivative instruments to protect against commodity price changes related to forecasted raw material and supplies purchases.  The primary purpose of the commodity price hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with these forecasted purchases.  The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had forward and option commodity contracts with a total notional value of $39.5 million. The fair values for certain commodity derivative instruments are based on Level 2 evidence (for example, future prices reported on commodity exchanges) under SFAS 157.  See Note 10 for further discussion of fair value measurements.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company was holding commodity derivatives with positive and negative fair market values of $2.4 million and ($15.8) million, respectively, all of which mature in less than one year.  To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective as defined by FAS 133, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income.  Such gains and losses will be reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized.  Gains and losses not qualifying for deferral treatment have been credited/charged to income as they are recognized. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had forward and option commodity contracts with a total notional value of $67.3 million.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company was holding commodity derivatives with positive and negative fair market values of $0.1 million and ($18.4) million, respectively, of which $0.1 million in gains and ($14.5) million in losses mature in less than one year.  Losses not qualifying for deferral associated with these contracts for June 30, 2008 were negligible.  At December 31, 2007, losses not qualifying for deferral were ($0.1) million.
 
The Company uses foreign exchange forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows for purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit.  Most contracts mature in less than one year, however, certain long-term commitments are covered by forward currency arrangements to protect against currency risk through 2011. Foreign currency contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency.  At June 30, 2008, contracts were outstanding to buy or sell British Pounds Sterling, Euros, Hungarian Forints, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, South Korean Won and U.S. Dollars.  To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective as defined by FAS 133, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income.  Such gains and losses will be reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized. Any gains or losses not qualifying for deferral are credited/charged to income as they are recognized.  The fair values of foreign exchange forward and option contracts are based on Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157, such as quoted exchange rates by various exchanges. See Note 10 for further discussion of fair value measurements.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with a positive market value of $4.7 million, of which $3.0 million matures in less than one year. Derivative contracts with negative value amounted to ($31.2) million, of which ($17.2) million matures in less than one year. As of December 31, 2007, the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with a positive market value of $1.9 million, all maturing in less than one year.  Derivatives contracts with negative value amounted to ($9.9) million, of which ($5.9) million matures in less than one year.  As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no gains or losses which did not qualify for deferral.
 
(12) Retirement Benefit Plans
 
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefit plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees. The other post employment benefits plans, which provide
 
 
14

medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans. The estimated contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for 2008 range from $10 to $20 million, of which $6.0 million has been contributed through the first six months of the year.
 
In September 2007, the Company made changes to its U.S. retiree medical program that impact certain non-union active employees with a future retiree benefit and current retirees participating in a health care plan.  These changes will become effective on January 1, 2009.  The effect of the changes to both groups is that most members will pay a higher percentage of the annual premium for Company-sponsored retiree medical coverage between ages 60 to 64, and neither group will receive Company-sponsored Medicare Supplemental coverage once entitled to Medicare.  Instead, certain active employees will receive a lump sum credit into a non-contributory cash balance pension plan earning interest each year.  Current retirees will receive an annual per member allowance toward the purchase of individual Medicare Supplemental coverage and for reimbursement of medical out-of-pocket expenses.

(13) Stock-Based Compensation
 
Under the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (“1993 Plan”), the Company granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant.  The options vest over periods up to three years and have a term of ten years from date of grant.  As of December 31, 2003, there were no options available for future grants under the 1993 Plan.  The 1993 Plan expired at the end of 2003 and was replaced by the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended at the Company’s 2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting, among other things, to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan.  Under the BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Stock Incentive Plan”), the number of shares authorized for grant was 10,000,000, of which approximately 1,550,000 shares are available for future issuance.  As of June 30, 2008, there were a total of 6,017,949 outstanding options under the 1993 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans.
 
Stock option compensation expense reduced income before income taxes and net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 by $3.5 million and $2.7 million ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) and by $4.9 million and $3.6 million ($0.03 per basic and diluted share), respectively.  Stock option compensation expense reduced income before income taxes and net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 by $7.1 million and $5.3 million ($0.05 and $0.04 per basic and diluted shares, respectively) and by $9.1 million and $6.7 million ($0.06 per basic and diluted share), respectively.  Stock option compensation expense affected both operating activities ($7.1 million and $9.1 million non-cash charge backs) and financing activities ($1.8 million and $2.4 million tax benefits) of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options at June 30, 2008 is approximately $13.8 million.  This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.6 years.  On a weighted average basis, this cost is expected to be recognized over 0.7 years.

In calculating earnings per share, earnings are the same for the basic and diluted calculations.  Shares increased for diluted earnings per share by 2,132,000 and 1,716,000 for the three months ended June 30,
 
 
16

2008 and 2007, respectively, and 2,178,000 and 1,560,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, due to the effects of stock options and shares issued and issuable under the 1993 Plan and 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
The fair value for options granted in February 2007 was $10.52 per option.  The fair value at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions:

   
2007
     
Risk-free interest rate
 
4.82%
Dividend yield
 
0.97%
Volatility factor
 
28.64%
Expected life
 
4.7 years

 
The expected lives of the awards are based on historical exercise patterns and the terms of the options.  The risk-free interest rate is based on zero coupon Treasury bond rates corresponding to the expected life of the awards.  The expected volatility assumption was derived by referring to changes in the Company’s historical common stock prices over the same timeframe as the expected life of the awards.  The expected dividend yield of stock is based on the Company’s historical dividend yield.  The Company has no reason to believe that the expected dividend yield or the future stock volatility is likely to differ from historical patterns.
 
At its November 2007 meeting, our Compensation Committee decided that restricted common stock would be awarded in place of stock options for the 2008 long-term incentive award grants to employees.  These restricted shares for employees vest fifty percent after two years and the remainder after three years from the date of grant. The Company also grants restricted common stock to its non-employee directors.  For non-employee directors restricted shares vest ratably on the anniversary of the date of the grant over a period of three years.  The market value of the Company’s restricted common stock at the date of grant determines the value of the restricted common stock.  In February 2008, a grant of 390,873 restricted shares was awarded to employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The value of the awards is recorded as unearned compensation within capital in excess of par value in stockholders’ equity, and is amortized as compensation expense over the restriction periods.  The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted common stock of $2.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $4.6 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(15) Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks.  It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be.  The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below.  The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental
 
The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 35 such sites.  Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
 
The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.  Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.
 
Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; and estimated legal fees), the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at June 30, 2008 of $10.5 million.  The Company has accrued amounts that do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the costs related to any of these sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.  The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next three to five years.
 
In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric.  During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant.  The Company is continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate and remediate to the extent necessary, historical contamination at the plant and surrounding area.  Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged personal injury and property damage.  In 2005, the Company and other defendants entered into settlements that resolved approximately 99% of the then known personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.  Those settlements involved payments by the Company of $28.5 million in the second half of 2005 and $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2006, in exchange for, among other things, dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits.
 
In December 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 209 plaintiffs, alleging personal injury relating to the alleged environmental contamination.  Given the early stage of the litigation, the Company cannot make any predictions as to the outcome, but its current intent is to vigorously defend against the suit.
 
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
 
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN 47”), which requires the Company to
 
 
19

recognize legal obligations to perform asset retirements in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Certain government regulations require the removal and disposal of asbestos from an existing facility at the time the facility undergoes major renovations or is demolished.  The liability exists because the facility will not last forever, but it is conditional on future renovations (even if there are no immediate plans to remove the materials, which pose no health or safety hazard in their current condition).  Similarly, government regulations require the removal or closure of underground storage tanks (“USTs”) when their use ceases, the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) transformers and capacitors when their use ceases, and the disposal of used furnace bricks and liners, and lead-based paint in conjunction with facility renovations or demolition.  The Company currently has 17 manufacturing locations that have been identified as containing these items. The fair value to remove and dispose of this material has been estimated and recorded at $1.0 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
 
Product Liability
 
Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  Management believes that the Company’s involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately 37,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims.  Of these outstanding claims, approximately 27,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are underway.
 
The Company’s policy is to aggressively defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers.  In the first six months of 2008, of the approximately 5,400 claims resolved, only 97 (1.8%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.  In 2007, of the approximately 4,400 claims resolved, only 194 (4.4%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
 
Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were covered by the Company’s primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and paid all claims under a funding arrangement.  In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to access the next available layer of insurance coverage.  Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding arrangement.  To date, the Company has paid $36.7 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers’ reimbursement and has received $12.1 million in cash from insurers. The outstanding balance of $24.6 million is expected to be fully recovered. Timing of the recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2007, insurers owed $20.6 million in association with these claims.
 
At June 30, 2008, the Company has an estimated liability of $39.2 million for future claims resolutions, with a related asset of $39.2 million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable by the Company for estimated losses related to claims that have yet to be resolved. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based on the Company’s experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2007, the comparable value of the insurance receivable
 
 
20

and accrued liability was $39.6 million.
 
The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future settlement of existing claims are as follows:

      Total accrued liability
  $ 39.2     $ 39.6  

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.
 
A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (“CNA”) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers.  CNA provided the Company with both primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently defending and indemnifying the Company in its pending asbestos-related product liability claims.  The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including whether the available limits exhaust on a “per occurrence” or an “aggregate” basis, and to determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned.  On August 15, 2005, the Court issued an interim order regarding the apportionment matter.  The interim order has the effect of making insurers responsible for all defense and settlement costs pro rata to time-on-the-risk, with the pro-ration method to hold the insured harmless for periods of bankrupt or unavailable coverage.  Appeals of the interim order were denied.  However, the issue is reserved for appellate review at the end of the action.  In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for potential future asbestos-related product claims.  As such, the Company continues to believe that its coverage is sufficient to meet foreseeable liabilities.
 
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company’s experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company’s significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

(16) Leases and Commitments
 
The Company has guaranteed the residual values of certain leased machinery and equipment at one of its facilities.  The guarantees extend through the maturity of the underlying lease, which is in September 2009.  In the event the Company exercises its option not to purchase the machinery and equipment, the Company has guaranteed a residual value of $10.0 million.  The Company has accrued $4.1 million as a loss on this guarantee, which is expected to be paid in 2009.
 
(17) Restructuring
 
Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established reserves.
 
The table below summarizes accrual activity for employee related costs related to the Company’s previously announced restructuring actions for the three months ended June 30, 2008 (in millions):

Future cash payments for these restructuring activities are expected to be complete by the end of 2009.
 
(18) Reporting Segments
 
The Company’s business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain.  These reporting segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.
 
The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital (“ROIC”) of its business initiatives.  The ROIC is comprised of projected earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) adjusted for income taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required.
 
EBIT is considered a “non-GAAP financial measure.”  Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and minority interest.  “Earnings” is intended to mean net earnings as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under GAAP.
 
The Company believes that EBIT is useful to demonstrate the operational profitability of our segments by excluding interest and income taxes, which are generally accounted for across the entire Company on a consolidated basis.  EBIT is also one of the measures used by the Company to determine resource allocation
 
 
22

within the Company.  Although the Company believes that EBIT enhances understanding of our business and performance, it should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net earnings or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
 
The following tables present net sales, segment EBIT and total assets for the Company’s reporting segments.

(19) New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”).  FAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for recognizing identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, goodwill acquired in the combination or the gain from a bargain purchase, and disclosure requirements.  Under this revised statement, all costs incurred to effect an acquisition will be recognized separately from the acquisition.  Also, restructuring costs that are expected but the acquirer is not obligated to incur will be recognized separately from the acquisition.  FAS 141(R) is effective for the Company beginning with its
 
 
23

quarter ending March 31, 2009.  The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent are clearly identified.  In addition, it requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the statement of operations.  FAS 160 is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2009.  The adoption of FAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,  Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”).  FAS 161 requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  FAS 161 is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2009.
 
(20) Recent Transaction 

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company and BERU AG (“BERU”) completed a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement (“DPTA”), giving BorgWarner full control of BERU.  Under this agreement BERU is obligated to transfer 100% of its profits or losses to the Company.  Upon request of BERU minority shareholders, the Company is obligated to purchase their shares for a cash payment of €71.32 per share.  Those BERU minority shareholders who do not sell their shares are entitled to receive an annual compensatory payment (perpetual dividend) of €4.73 (gross) per share, less certain taxes, from the Company.  The total obligation associated with the DPTA is approximately €127.2 ($200.3) million, based upon the present value of the perpetual dividend and approximates the cost if all remaining shares were purchased by the Company at €71.32 per share.  The DPTA obligation is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as $18.5 million in current liabilities and $181.8 million in other non-current liabilities.  
 
In connection with the DPTA, the Company recorded the remaining 17.8% of the fair value of BERU as follows (in millions):
 
Elimination of Minority Interest
    $ 86.6  
Goodwill
      71.2  
Tangible and Intangible Assets
      61.7  
Liabilities
      (19.2 )
     Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement Obligation
    $ 200.3  
 
The $71.2 million of goodwill represents the excess of the DPTA obligation over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is reflected in the Engine segment.
 
Of the total tangible and intangible fair value write up of $61.7 million, $3.3 million of in process R&D and order backlog were immediately written off in the selling, general, and administrative line and $1.8 million of beginning inventory was immediately written off in the cost of sales line in the Condensed Consolidated
 
 
24

Statement of Operations.  The combined pre-tax effect of both items is $5.1 million, $4.5 million net of tax or $0.04 per diluted share.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the portion of the acquisition related to the DPTA represents a non-cash transaction. The cost related to the annual perpetual dividend arrangement will be reflected as interest and income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The annual payment of the perpetual dividend will be reflected as a financing activity and the acquisition of shares purchased by the Company will be reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  The payment of the annual perpetual dividend is expected to occur in the second quarter of each year, beginning in 2009.
 
The DPTA is a binding agreement.  However, minority shareholders of BERU initiated an appraisal proceeding in the German court system that challenges the 71.32 purchase price and €4.73 annual compensatory payment (perpetual dividend). If a higher price is determined, the excess purchase price would be recorded as additional goodwill with a corresponding increase to the Company’s total DPTA obligation.
 
For a description of our earlier acquisition of 82.2% of BERU, see Note 19 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
(21) Subsequent Event
 
On July 31, we announced a restructuring of our operations to align ongoing operations with what we believe is a continuing, fundamental market shift in the U.S. auto industry.  The Company expects to reduce its North American workforce in the third quarter by approximately 1,000 people, or 16% of our North American employee base, spread across its operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  Although not all aspects of the restructuring actions have been finalized, the Company currently expects to incur pretax costs estimated in the range of $10 million to $12 million in connection with the restructuring actions.  Other incremental costs, if any, resulting from the restructuring actions are under evaluation.  Benefits from the restructuring are expected to be realized in the second half of 2008.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
INTRODUCTION
 
BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of highly engineered systems and components primarily for powertrain applications.  Our products help improve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, air quality and vehicle stability.  They are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of light vehicles (i.e., passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles (“SUVs”), cross-over vehicles, vans and light-trucks).  Our products are also manufactured and sold to OEMs of commercial trucks, buses and agricultural and off-highway vehicles. We also manufacture and sell our products into the aftermarket for light and commercial vehicles.  We operate manufacturing facilities serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and are an original equipment supplier to every major automaker in the world.
 
The Company’s products fall into two reporting segments:  Engine and Drivetrain.  The Engine segment’s products include turbochargers, timing chain systems, air management, emissions systems, thermal systems, as well as diesel and gas ignition systems.  The Drivetrain segment’s products are all-wheel drive transfer cases, torque management systems, and components and systems for automated transmissions.
 
Stock Split
 
On November 14, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend on its common stock.  To implement this stock split, shares of common stock were issued on December 17, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 6, 2007.  All prior year share and per share amounts disclosed in this document have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split.
 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three months ended June 30, 2008 vs. Three months ended June 30, 2007
 
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 totaled $1,516.6 million, an 11.2% increase over second quarter 2007.  This increase occurred while light-vehicle production was up 2% worldwide and down 14% in North America from the previous year’s quarter.  Light-vehicle production increased 6% in Asia-Pacific and 5% in Europe.  The net sales increase included the effect of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, of approximately $125 million.  Currency fluctuations impacted all of the Company’s product lines.  Without the currency impact, the increase in global net sales was 2.0%, due to strong demand for the Company’s products in Europe and Asia-Pacific, offset by weakness in North America.
 
Gross profit and gross margin were $278.8 million and 18.4% for second quarter 2008 as compared to $247.6 million and 18.1% for second quarter 2007.  The gross margin percentage increase is due to favorable product mix, offset by higher raw material costs, including steel, copper, aluminum and plastic resin, and lower vehicle production in North America.  Raw material costs, net of recoveries, increased approximately $1 million as compared to the second quarter 2007, of which steel was the single largest contributor.  The Company benefited in the quarter from lower nickel prices as compared to the second quarter of 2007.
 
 
26

Second quarter selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs increased $24.7 million to $159.9 million from $135.2 million, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 10.5% from 9.9%.  The impact of foreign exchange increased SG&A by $11.9 million.  Also, $3.3 million of amortization for the immediate write off of in process R&D and order backlog related to the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement between the Company and BERU AG (“BERU”) was incurred in the second quarter of 2008.  R&D costs increased $1.1 million to $57.8 million from $56.7 million as compared to second quarter 2007.
 
Other income of $(2.1) million and $(1.2) million for second quarter 2008 and 2007, respectively, are comprised primarily of interest income.
 
Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $11.9 million increased $3.1 million as compared to second quarter 2007 due to increased sales and improved operating performance at our joint ventures.
 
Second quarter interest expense and finance charges of $10.8 million increased $1.5 million as compared with second quarter 2007, primarily due to the June 30, 2008 measurement of ineffectiveness of a cross currency interest rate swap.
 
The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income.  In the first quarter of 2008, the projected global effective tax rate was estimated to be 26% for the full year of 2008.  With a projected decrease in U.S. income, the projected global effective tax rate for full year 2008 is 25%.  This rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including R&D and foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates’ earnings and a Medicare prescription drug benefit.  This rate is expected to be less than the full year 2007 global effective tax rate of 26.5% primarily due to the year over year projected decrease in U.S. income and changes in tax laws, primarily in Europe.
 
Net earnings were $87.5 million for the second quarter, or $0.74 per diluted share, an increase of $0.10 per diluted share over the previous year’s second quarter.   This increase included a one-time write off in process R&D and order backlog related to the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement between the Company and BERU of $4.5 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share.
 
Six months ended June 30, 2008 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2007
 
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $3,015.5 million, a 14.1% increase over the six months ended June 30, 2007.  This increase occurred while light-vehicle production was up 3% worldwide and down 11% in North America from the previous year’s first six months.  Light-vehicle production increased 8% in Asia-Pacific and 4% in Europe.  The net sales increase included the effect of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, of approximately $241 million.  Currency fluctuations impacted all of the Company’s product lines.  Without the currency impact, the increase in global net sales would have been 5.0% due to strong demand for the Company’s products in Europe and Asia-Pacific, offset by weakness in North America.
 
Gross profit and gross margin were $562.3 million and 18.6% for the first six months of 2008 as compared to $463.5 million and 17.5% for the first six months of 2007.  The gross margin percentage increase is due to favorable product mix, offset by higher raw material costs, including steel, copper, aluminum, and plastic resin, and lower vehicle production in North America.  Raw material costs, net of recoveries, increased approximately $6 million as compared to the first six months of 2007, of which steel was the single largest contributor.  Our focused cost reduction programs in our operations partially offset these higher raw material

costs.  Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2007 contained a charge for approximately $14 million, for a warranty-related issue surrounding a product, built during a 15-month period in 2004 and 2005, that is no longer in production.
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs for the first six months of 2008 increased $53.7 million to $315.6 million from $261.9 million, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 10.5% from 9.9%.  The impact of foreign exchange increased SG&A by $22.5 million.  Also, $3.3 million of amortization for the immediate write off of in process R&D and order backlog related to the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement between the Company and BERU was incurred in the second quarter of 2008. R&D costs increased $7.7 million to $115.3 million from $107.6 million as compared to the first six months of 2007.
 
Other income of $(1.0) million for the first six months of 2008 is comprised primarily of interest income, offset by the realization of a loss on the sale of a product line.  Other income of $(1.9) million for the first six months of 2007 is comprised primarily of interest income.
 
Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $21.0 million increased $3.0 million as compared to the first six months of 2007 due to increased sales and improved operating performance at our joint ventures.
 
Interest expense and finance charges for the first six months of 2008 were $17.3 compared with $18.2 million in the first six months of 2007, primarily due to reduced debt levels.
 
The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income.  In the first quarter of 2008, the projected global effective tax rate was estimated to be 26% for the full year of 2008.  With a projected decrease in U.S. income, the projected global effective tax rate for full year 2008 is 25%.  This rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including R&D and foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates’ earnings and a Medicare prescription drug benefit.  This rate is expected to be less than the full year 2007 global effective tax rate of 26.5% primarily due to the year over year projected decrease in U.S. income and changes in tax laws, primarily in Europe.
 
Net earnings for the first six months of 2008 were $176.2 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, an increase of $0.35 per diluted share over the previous year’s first six months.  This increase included a one-time write off in process R&D and order backlog related to the Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement between the Company and BERU of $4.5 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share.

Reporting Segments
 
The Company’s business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain.  These reporting segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.
 
The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital (“ROIC”) of its business initiatives.  The ROIC is comprised of projected earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) adjusted for income taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required.
 
EBIT is considered a “non-GAAP financial measure.”  Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and minority interest.  “Earnings” is intended to mean net earnings as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under GAAP.
 
The Company believes that EBIT is useful to demonstrate the operational profitability of our segments by excluding interest and income taxes, which are generally accounted for across the entire Company on a consolidated basis.  EBIT is also one of the measures used by the Company to determine resource allocation within the Company.  Although the Company believes that EBIT enhances understanding of our business and performance, it should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net earnings or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
 
The following tables present net sales, segment EBIT and total assets for the Company’s reporting segments.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 vs. Three months ended June 30, 2007
 
The Engine segment net sales increased $153.6 million, or 16.1%, and Segment EBIT increased $18.1 million, or 16.7%, from second quarter 2007.  Excluding the impact of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, sales increased 4.9%.  The Engine segment continued to benefit from European and Asian automaker demand for turbochargers, timing systems and emissions products, and European demand for diesel engine ignition systems.  The segment EBIT margin was negatively impacted by higher commodity costs, primarily steel.
 
The Drivetrain segment net sales decreased $3.3 million, or 0.8%, and Segment EBIT decreased $11.5 million, or 34.5%, from second quarter 2007.  Excluding the impact of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, sales decreased 5.3%.  The sales decrease was driven by lower North America production of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles.  The Drivetrain segment’s EBIT decreased due to the combined effect of start-up cost pressures and lower North American production of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles equipped with its torque transfer products.
 
Six months ended June 30, 2008 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2007
 
The Engine segment net sales increased $357.6 million, or 19.3%, and Segment EBIT increased $70.7 million, or 36.5%, from the first six months of 2007.  Excluding the impact of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, sales increased 8.4%.  The Engine segment continued to benefit from European and Asian automaker demand for turbochargers, timing systems and emissions products, and European demand for diesel engine ignition systems.  The segment EBIT margin was negatively impacted by sharply higher commodity costs, primarily steel.  The segment EBIT margin was negatively impacted in 2007 by approximately $14 million for a warranty-related issue surrounding a product, built during a 15-month period in 2004 and 2005, that is no longer in production.
 
The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $14.5 million, or 1.8%, and Segment EBIT decreased $20.9 million, or 34.3%, from the first six months of 2007.  Excluding the impact of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, sales decreased 2.9%.  The sales decrease was driven by lower North America production of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles.  The Drivetrain segment’s EBIT decreased due to the combined effect of start-up cost pressures and lower North American production of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles equipped with its torque transfer products.
 
Outlook for the remainder of 2008
 
Our overall outlook for 2008 remains generally positive.  We expect our sales to grow in excess of a projected moderate global vehicle production growth rate with growth in Europe and Asia expected to offset declines in North America.  The impact of raw materials, including steel, copper, aluminum and plastic resin, is expected to continue to pressure gross profit.
 
We remain concerned about the state of the North American automotive market.  On July 31, we announced a restructuring of our operations to align ongoing operations with what we believe is a continuing, fundamental market shift in the U.S. auto industry.  The Company expects to reduce its North American workforce in the third quarter by approximately 1,000 people, or 16% of our North American employee base, spread across its operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  Although not all aspects of the restructuring actions have been finalized, the Company currently expects to incur pretax costs estimated in the range of $10 million to $12 million in connection with the restructuring actions.  Other incremental costs, if any,
 
 
30

resulting from the restructuring actions are under evaluation.  Benefits from the restructuring are expected to be realized in the second half of 2008.
 
We anticipate that the European automotive market will experience a moderate slow down in the second half of 2008, but that anticipated demand for our technologies in down-sized turbocharged gas and diesel engines and more efficient dual-clutch transmissions will continue to drive our above-average growth.  In Asia, we expect to continue to benefit from regional industry growth and demand for our entire range of engine and drivetrain products.
 
Assuming no major departures from our assumptions, we expect continued long-term sales and net earnings growth.  The Company is committed to new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy.  We believe that the global need for improved fuel economy and reduced emissions without sacrificing vehicle performance will continue to drive our continued, longer-term growth.  Our products are key technologies used worldwide in downsized, advanced gasoline and diesel engines, and in fuel-efficient automatic transmissions, all-wheel drive systems and hybrid powertrains. 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
 
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $43.7 million to $267.1 million for the first six months of 2008 from $223.4 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase reflects higher earnings in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007. Capital spending, including tooling outlays, was $162.2 million in the first six months of 2008, compared with $122.5 million in 2007.  Selective capital spending remains an area of focus for the Company, both in order to support our book of new business, and for cost reductions and productivity improvements.  The Company expects to spend approximately $400 million on capital and tooling expenditures in 2008, but this expectation is subject to ongoing review based on market conditions.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the portion of the acquisition related to the DPTA represents a non-cash transaction. Future payments related to the annual dividend arrangement will be reflected as financing activities and the acquisition of shares tendered will be reflected as investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, consistent with the underlying transaction.
 
As of June 30, 2008, debt decreased from year-end 2007 by $9.4 million, cash increased by $37.4 million and marketable securities decreased by $14.6 million.  Our debt to capital ratio was 19.5% at the end of the second quarter versus 20.7% at the end of 2007. The Company paid dividends to BorgWarner stockholders of $25.8 million and $19.7 million in the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company repurchased 618,095 shares of its common stock for $27.7 million in the first six months of 2008.
 
The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions without recourse.  The amount sold can vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables.  At both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had sold $50 million of receivables under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse.  During both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total cash proceeds from sales of accounts receivable were $300 million.  The Company paid servicing fees related to these receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $0.4 million and $0.7 million and $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  These amounts are recorded in interest expense and finance charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
The Company has a multi-currency revolving credit facility, which provides for borrowings up to $600 million through July 2009.  At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there were no borrowings outstanding
 
 
31

under the facility.  The credit agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to an investment grade company.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2008 and expects to remain compliant in future periods.  The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $21.9 million at June 30, 2008 and $22.0 million at December 31, 2007.  The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
 
From a credit quality perspective, we have an investment grade credit rating of A- from Standard & Poor’s and Baa1 from Moody’s, upgraded from Baa2 on February 11, 2008.  The outlook from both agencies is stable.
 
The Company believes that the combination of cash balances, cash flow from operations, available credit facilities and $750 million available under a universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008, under which a variety of debt and equity instruments could be issued, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs for the current level of operations and planned operations for the remainder of 2008.  The Company expects that net cash provided by operating activities will be approximately $550 million in 2008.
 
Recent Transaction
 
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company and BERU AG (“BERU”) completed a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement (“DPTA”), giving BorgWarner full control of BERU.  Under this agreement BERU is obligated to transfer 100% of its profits or losses to the Company.  Upon request of BERU minority shareholders, the Company is obligated to purchase their shares for a cash payment of €71.32 per share.  Those BERU minority shareholders who do not sell their shares are entitled to receive an annual compensatory payment (perpetual dividend) of €4.73 (gross) per share, less certain taxes, from the Company.  The total obligation associated with the DPTA is approximately €127.2 ($200.3) million, based upon the present value of the perpetual dividend and approximates the cost if all remaining shares were purchased by the Company at €71.32 per share.  The DPTA obligation is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as $18.5 million in current liabilities and $181.8 million in other non-current liabilities.  
 
In connection with the DPTA, the Company recorded the remaining 17.8% of the fair value of BERU as follows (in millions):
 
Elimination of Minority Interest
    $ 86.6  
Goodwill
      71.2  
Tangible and Intangible Assets
      61.7  
Liabilities
      (19.2 )
     Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement Obligation
    $ 200.3  
 
The $71.2 million of goodwill represents the excess of the DPTA obligation over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is reflected in the Engine segment.
 
Of the total tangible and intangible fair value write up of $61.7 million, $3.3 million of in process R&D and order backlog were immediately written off in the selling, general, and administrative line and $1.8 million of beginning inventory was immediately written off in the cost of sales line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The combined pre-tax effect of both items is $5.1 million, $4.5 million net of tax
 
 
32

or $0.04 per diluted share.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the portion of the acquisition related to the DPTA represents a non-cash transaction. The cost related to the annual perpetual dividend arrangement will be reflected as interest and income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The annual payment of the perpetual dividend will be reflected as a financing activity and the acquisition of shares purchased by the Company will be reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  The payment of the annual perpetual dividend is expected to occur in the second quarter of each year, beginning in 2009.
 
The DPTA is a binding agreement.  However, minority shareholders of BERU initiated an appraisal proceeding in the German court system that challenges the 71.32 purchase price and €4.73 annual compensatory payment (perpetual dividend). If a higher price is determined, the excess purchase price would be recorded as additional goodwill with a corresponding increase to the Company’s total DPTA obligation.

OTHER MATTERS
 
In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks.  It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be.  The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below.  The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
Environmental
 
The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 35 such sites.  Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
 
The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.  Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.
 
Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; and estimated legal fees), the Company has established an accrual for
 
 
33

indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at June 30, 2008 of $10.5 million.  The Company has accrued amounts that do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the costs related to any of these sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.  The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next three to five years.
 
In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric.  During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant.  The Company is continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate and remediate to the extent necessary, historical contamination at the plant and surrounding area.  Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged personal injury and property damage.  In 2005, the Company and other defendants entered into settlements that resolved approximately 99% of the then known personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.  Those settlements involved payments by the Company of $28.5 million in the second half of 2005 and $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2006, in exchange for, among other things, dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits.
 
In December 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 209 plaintiffs, alleging personal injury relating to the alleged environmental contamination.  Given the early stage of the litigation, the Company cannot make any predictions as to the outcome, but its current intent is to vigorously defend against the suit.
 
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
 
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN 47”), which requires the Company to recognize legal obligations to perform asset retirements in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Certain government regulations require the removal and disposal of asbestos from an existing facility at the time the facility undergoes major renovations or is demolished.  The liability exists because the facility will not last forever, but it is conditional on future renovations (even if there are no immediate plans to remove the materials, which pose no health or safety hazard in their current condition).  Similarly, government regulations require the removal or closure of underground storage tanks (“USTs”) when their use ceases, the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) transformers and capacitors when their use ceases, and the disposal of used furnace bricks and liners, and lead-based paint in conjunction with facility renovations or demolition.  The Company currently has 17 manufacturing locations that have been identified as containing these items. The fair value to remove and dispose of this material has been estimated and recorded at $1.0 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
 
Product Liability
 
Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  Management believes that the Company’s involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use
 
 
34

lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately 37,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims.  Of these outstanding claims, approximately 27,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are underway.
 
The Company’s policy is to aggressively defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers.  In the first six months of 2008, of the approximately 5,400 claims resolved, only 97 (1.8%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.  In 2007, of the approximately 4,400 claims resolved, only 194 (4.4%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
 
Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were covered by the Company’s primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and paid all claims under a funding arrangement.  In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to access the next available layer of insurance coverage.  Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding arrangement.  To date, the Company has paid $36.7 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers’ reimbursement and has received $12.1 million in cash from insurers. The outstanding balance of $24.6 million is expected to be fully recovered. Timing of the recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2007, insurers owed $20.6 million in association with these claims.
 
At June 30, 2008, the Company has an estimated liability of $39.2 million for future claims resolutions, with a related asset of $39.2 million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable by the Company for estimated losses related to claims that have yet to be resolved. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based on the Company’s experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2007, the comparable value of the insurance receivable and accrued liability was $39.6 million.

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.
 
A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (“CNA”) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers.  CNA provided the Company with both primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently defending and indemnifying the Company in its pending asbestos-related product liability claims.  The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including whether the available limits exhaust on a “per occurrence” or an “aggregate” basis, and to determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned.  On August 15, 2005, the Court issued an interim order regarding the apportionment matter.  The interim order has the effect of making insurers responsible for all defense and settlement costs pro rata to time-on-the-risk, with the pro-ration method to hold the insured harmless for periods of bankrupt or unavailable coverage.  Appeals of the interim order were denied.  However, the issue is reserved for appellate review at the end of the action.  In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for potential future asbestos-related product claims.  As such, the Company continues to believe that its coverage is sufficient to meet foreseeable liabilities.
 
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company’s experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company’s significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”).  FAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for recognizing identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, goodwill acquired in the combination or the gain from a bargain purchase, and disclosure requirements.  Under this revised statement, all costs incurred to effect an acquisition will be recognized separately from the acquisition.  Also, restructuring costs that are expected but the acquirer is not obligated to incur will be recognized separately from the acquisition.  FAS 141(R) is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2009.  The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent are clearly identified.  In addition, it requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the statement of operations.  FAS 160 is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2009.  The adoption of FAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,  Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”).  FAS 161 requires entities to provide enhanced
 
 
36

disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  FAS 161 is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2009.
 
Recent Development
