EXPLANATORY NOTE

          We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2003 (the "Form 10-Q/A") because we have revised the pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share amounts included in Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. It should be noted that this revision relates to pro forma disclosures only and does not impact any actual reported balances, results of operations or cash flows included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we have updated Item 4 in accordance with recently revised SEC rules. We have amended and restated in its entirety each item of our Original Form 10-Q that has been affected by the aforementioned changes. The filing of this Form 10-Q/A shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Form 10-Q, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

          Other than the item mentioned above, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q or modify or update disclosures on the Original Form 10-Q (including disclosures relating to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our future performance and disclosures relating to known trends and uncertainties affecting our business) in any way. For a more recent description of our business and the risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including the effects of current business and economic conditions in our industries and in our target markets, we urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in our recent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Current Reports on Form 8-K, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 Q and our other future filings with the SEC.

SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2003
(Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share and per LYON data)

(1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related interim statements of consolidated income and cash flows include the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and represent our accounts after the elimination of inter-company transactions.  Investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current quarter presentation, including the results of discontinued operations.  The capital accounts, all share data and earnings per share data give effect to the stock split on October 24, 2002, applied retroactively for all periods presented.

          Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On April 7, 2003, we announced the sale of our Inrange Technologies Corporation subsidiary (“Inrange”) and closed the sale on May 5, 2003 (see Note 3).  The results of Inrange are reported as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes pertain to continuing operations. 

(2)     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

          In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)  No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The provisions of SFAS No. 143 require that asset retirement obligations that are identifiable upon acquisition and construction, and during the operating life of a long-lived asset be recorded as a liability using the present value of the estimated cash flows. A corresponding amount would be capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying amount and amortized to expense over the asset’s useful life. We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement has not had and is not expected to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

          In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued product lines, plant closings or other exit or disposal activities. Previous accounting guidance was provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF 94-3 and is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We frequently engage in strategic restructuring and integration initiatives that include exit and disposal activities. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 has impacted the timing of recognition of certain restructuring costs, but has not had a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

          In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires

5


that a guarantor must recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation that it has undertaken in issuing a guarantee. FIN 45 also addresses the disclosure requirements that a guarantor must include in its financial statements for guarantees issued, including matters such as commercial product warranties. The disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We adopted the recognition provisions of FIN 45 effective January 1, 2003 for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 8 for our disclosure on product warranties.

          In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” FIN 46 requires that unconsolidated variable interest entities be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries and applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to existing entities in the periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Currently, FIN 46 does not impact our financial position or results of operations; however, we will adopt the provisions of FIN 46 if they become applicable to our business.

          In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” and is related to certain derivatives embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133.  SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is to be applied prospectively.  We are still assessing the impact SFAS No. 149 could have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3)     ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

          We continually review each of our businesses pursuant to our “fix, sell or grow” strategy. We use acquisitions as a part of our strategy to acquire access to new technologies, expand our geographic reach, penetrate new markets and leverage our existing product, market, manufacturing or technical expertise. We also may look to place current business assets with other companies if we determine they strategically fit better with another company.  Business acquisitions and dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are described below.

          Business acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of income include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at preliminary estimates of fair values as determined by management based on information available. Final purchase price allocations are based on independent appraisals and management estimates.  We finalize the allocation of purchase price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed when we obtain information sufficient to complete the allocation, within one year after acquisition.  

Acquisitions—2003

          During the first quarter, we completed four acquisitions in our Technical Products and Systems segment.  Our security and integrated building life-safety systems platform completed two acquisitions, IDenticard Systems, Inc. and Upper Valley Fire Protection Ltd., for an aggregate cash purchase price of $52.8.  The acquired companies had combined revenues of $40.6 in the twelve months prior to the respective dates of acquisition.  The broadcast and communications systems and services platform completed two acquisitions,  Brookstone and Flash Technology, for an aggregate purchase price of $62.1.  The acquired companies had combined revenues of $72.9 in the twelve months prior to the respective dates of acquisition. 

          During the first quarter, our specialty engineered products platform in the Industrial Products and Services segment completed one acquisition for a cash purchase price of $3.2. The acquired company had revenues of $15.7 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

6


          During the first quarter, our fluid systems platform in the Flow Technology segment completed the acquisition of Hankison International (“Hankison”) for a cash purchase price of $35.5.  Hankison had revenues of $64.2 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

          These acquisitions are not material individually or in the aggregate.

Acquisitions—2002

          During the first quarter,  we completed three acquisitions, in our Technical Products and Systems segment, for cash with an aggregate purchase price of $38.2. The acquired companies had aggregate revenues of $46.3 in the twelve months prior to the respective dates of acquisition. These transactions include the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Dukane Communications Systems by our security and integrated building life-safety systems platform.

          During the first quarter, we completed one acquisition, in the Industrial Products and Services segment,  for a purchase price of $13.4, which included the issuance of common stock valued at $11.5. The acquired company had revenues of $9.6 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition. The acquisition was made by our power systems platform.

          These acquisitions are not material individually or in the aggregate.

Discontinued Operations—2003

          As part of our ongoing strategic review process, we evaluated several alternatives for our Inrange Technologies Corporation subsidiary, part of our Technical Products and Systems segment, and concluded that it was a better strategic fit with another company.    Therefore, on April 7, 2003, we announced that we had signed a definitive agreement with Computer Network Technology Corporation (“CNT”) to sell our ownership of the outstanding shares of Inrange.  On May 5, 2003, the sale of Inrange to CNT closed and our portion of the cash proceeds was $149.0, after a $24.5 settlement of an inter-company note payable by us to Inrange.

          In March 2003, we determined that the sale of Inrange was probable, and, accordingly, we have accounted for Inrange as a discontinued operation, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-lived Assets.”  The results of Inrange for all periods presented are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

          For the three months ended March 31, 2003, total revenues and pre-tax loss from discontinued operations were $40.2 and $8.4, respectively.  In the same period in 2002, revenues and pre-tax income were $61.9 and  $0.8, respectively.   The total loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $31.3, which reflects an expected loss on the sale of $26.0. 

          The major classes of assets and liabilities of Inrange, included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are shown below.  The amounts below exclude inter-company balances and may differ from Inrange’s publicly issued financial statements to conform to the presentation in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.  The goodwill balance as of March 31, 2003 reflects the estimated loss on the sale.

Our products are used by a broad array of customers in various industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, mineral processing, petrochemical, telecommunications, transportation and power generation.

          We have aggregated certain operating segments in accordance with the criteria defined in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The primary aggregation factors considered in determining the segments were the nature of products sold, production processes and types of customers for these products. In determining our segments, we apply the threshold criteria of SFAS No. 131 to operating income or loss of each segment before considering special charges, including those recorded in cost of products sold. This is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment. Our results of operations are reported in four segments: Technical Products and Systems, Industrial Products and Services, Flow Technology and Service Solutions.

Technical Products and Systems

          The Technical Products and Systems segment focuses on solving customer problems with complete technology-based systems and services. Our emphasis is on growth through investment in new technology, new product introductions, alliances and acquisitions. The products and services offered by this segment are organized into the following strategic platforms: laboratory and life science products; security and integrated building life-safety systems; broadcast and communication systems and services; and electrical test and measurement solutions.

Industrial Products and Services

          The strategy of the Industrial Products and Services segment is to provide “Productivity Solutions for Industry.” This segment emphasizes introducing new related services and products, as well as focusing on the replacement parts and service elements of the segment. The products and services offered by this segment are organized into the following strategic platforms: power systems; compaction equipment; and specialty engineered products.

Flow Technology

          The Flow Technology segment designs, manufactures and markets solutions and products that are used to process or transport fluids and in heat transfer applications.  The products and services offered by this segment are organized into the following strategic platforms: cooling technologies and services and fluid systems.

8


Service Solutions

          Service Solutions designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of specialty service tools, hand-held diagnostic systems and service equipment, inspection gauging systems and technical and training information, primarily to the vehicle franchise dealer industry in North America and Europe. Major customers are franchised dealers of motor vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket vehicle service facilities and independent distributors.  The products and services offered by this segment are organized into the following platform: diagnostics, specialty tools and service equipment, technical information and services.

          Inter-company sales among segments are not significant. To be consistent with the reporting basis on which management internally evaluates segment performance, segment income excludes special charges, including those recorded in cost of products sold, and general corporate expenses. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on special charges by segment.

          Financial data for our business segments is as follows:

(5)     SPECIAL CHARGES

          As part of our Value Improvement Process â, we right size and consolidate operations to drive results. Additionally, due to our acquisition strategy, from time to time we alter our business model to better serve customer demand, fix or discontinue lower-margin product lines and rationalize and consolidate manufacturing capacity. As a result of our strategic review process, we recorded special charges of $9.2 and $6.4 in the first three months of 2003 and 2002. These special charges were primarily for restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities, reduce our work force and rationalize certain product lines.

          The purpose of our restructuring initiatives is to improve profitability, streamline operations, reduce costs and improve efficiency. We estimate that we will achieve operating cost reductions in 2003 and beyond through reduced employee and manufacturing costs and other facility overhead.

          The components of the charges have been computed based on actual cash payouts, our estimate of the realizable value of the affected tangible and intangible assets and estimated exit costs including severance and other employee benefits based on existing severance practices and local laws.

9


          SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued product lines, plant closing or other exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF 94-3 and was applied prospectively to all exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We frequently engage in strategic restructuring and integration initiatives that include exit and disposal activities. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 has impacted the timing of recognition of certain restructuring costs, but does not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

          We account for non-cash asset impairments in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Typically, our non-cash asset impairments arise from business restructuring decisions that lead to the disposition of assets no longer required in the restructured business. For these situations, we recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Realization values for assets subject to impairment testing are primarily determined by third-party appraisals, quoted market prices or previous experience. If an impaired asset remains in service at the decision date, the remaining net book value is depreciated until the asset is no longer used in operating activities. When an impaired asset is removed from service, sale of the asset is probable, and the asset is made available for sale, depreciation of the asset is discontinued and the asset is recorded as an asset held for sale.

          Special charges for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 include the following:

Special Charges—2003

          In the first quarter of 2003, we recorded net special charges of $9.2, which included a $0.5 credit due to lower than expected  costs to complete certain previously announced work force reduction and facility consolidation actions. We recorded $2.5 in the Technical Products and Systems segment, $1.9 in the Industrial Products and Services segment, $4.5 in the Flow Technology segment, and $0.3 in the Service Solutions segment.

          The charges recorded in the first quarter related primarily to employee benefit costs for work force reductions at our cooling technologies and services, specialty engineered products and laboratory and life science products platforms as a result of strategic decisions to close facilities and right size operations. The new restructuring initiatives announced in the first quarter of 2003 will result in the termination of approximately 213 hourly and 109 salaried domestic employees.

          In the Technical Products and Systems segment, we recorded $2.5 of charges  for the three months ended March 31, 2003. These charges related primarily to employee benefit costs for work force reduction initiatives taken to right-size the operations at our laboratory and life science products platform. In addition, we consolidated product lines at our broadcast and communication systems and services platform and announced the closure of a manufacturing facility at our electrical test and measurement solutions platform.  The affected facility is located in Mahwah, NJ. These restructuring actions, which are substantially completed, resulted in the termination of approximately 82 hourly and 41 salaried domestic employees.

10


          In the Industrial Products and Services segment, we recorded $1.9 of charges  for the three months ended March 31, 2003. These charges  represent primarily employee benefit costs for initiatives taken to right size manufacturing operations at our specialty engineered products platform.  These restructuring actions will result in the termination of approximately 69 hourly and 18 salaried domestic employees.

          In the Flow Technology segment, we recorded $4.5 of charges for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Of these charges, $2.6 relates to the closure of two manufacturing facilities, located in Eloy, AZ and Ocala, FL, and three sales and administrative offices, located in Santa Rosa, CA, Atlanta, GA and Philadelphia, PA. The actions taken at our fluid systems platform are predominantly for the integration of existing air treatment operations into the recently acquired Hankison operations. The actions taken at our cooling technologies and services platform relate to consolidation of existing cooling technologies facilities into facilities of our recently acquired Balcke operations.  These restructuring and integration initiatives resulted in the termination of approximately 62 hourly and 50 salaried domestic employees. In addition, $1.9 of this charge relates to asset impairments as a result of our decision to close a manufacturing facility.  As of March 31, 2003, the impaired assets are no longer in service, are classified as current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are no longer being depreciated.

          In the Service Solutions segment, we recorded $0.3 of charges  for the three months ended March 31, 2003. These charges relate primarily to as-incurred exit costs associated with the previously announced closure of our Montpelier, OH manufacturing facility.

Special Charges—2002

          In the first quarter of 2002, we continued to right size our businesses in order to keep pace with changes in economic and market conditions. Consequently, we recorded special charges related to new and previously announced restructuring and integration activities, which reduced operating income by $6.4. Of this amount, we recorded $0.4 in the Technical Products and Systems segment, $1.9 in the Industrial Products and Services segment, $2.2 in the Flow Technology segment, $0.2 in the Service Solutions segment, and $1.7 at Corporate.

          These initiatives reduced domestic hourly and salaried headcount in the Industrial Products and Services and the Flow Technology segments by approximately 72 and 61 employees, respectively. The $1.7 of charges recorded at Corporate was related to previously announced integration actions.

          At March 31, 2003, a total of $38.5 of restructuring liabilities remained on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as shown below. With the exception of certain multi-year operating lease obligations and other contractual obligations, we anticipate that the liabilities related to restructuring actions will be paid within one year from the period in which the action was initiated.

          In accordance with the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we were required to test all existing goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2002 on a reporting unit basis. Step 1 involved comparing the carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units to their fair values. Fair value was based on discounted cash flow projections, but we also considered factors such as market capitalization and comparable industry price multiples. The net assets of our automotive filtration systems unit and compact hydraulic power tools unit, both in our Industrial Products and Services segment, had carrying values in excess of their fair values. For these reporting units, we performed Step 2 of the impairment testing provisions.

13


          We engaged an independent valuation and appraisal firm to assist us with the Step 2 testing. The assets and liabilities of our automotive filtration systems unit and our compact hydraulic power tools unit were appraised at their current fair value to calculate implied goodwill for these reporting units. The recorded goodwill exceeded the implied goodwill by $148.6, and, accordingly, this amount was required to be written-off as a transition impairment charge and was recorded as a change in accounting principle. The impaired goodwill was not deductible for income tax purposes.

(8)     WARRANTY

          In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties for specific product lines and provide for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. We provide for the estimated warranty cost based on contract terms and historical experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, actual warranty costs  may differ from these estimates. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations can be estimated. The following is an analysis of our product warranty accrual from December 31, 2002 through March 31, 2003:

          Under our credit facility, aggregate maturities of the term loans are $34.5 in 2004, $45.8 in 2005, $57.0 in 2006, $62.6 in 2007 and $172.6 in 2008. Although no amounts are borrowed under our revolving credit loans at March 31, 2003, any future borrowings under these loans would mature in 2008, when the facility expires, but could be repaid at any time before 2008. Other borrowings are primarily revolving lines of credit at foreign locations that are refinanced as they come due and therefore, are classified as long-term.

Credit Facility

          Under our current credit facility, the term loans bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR plus the Applicable Rate or the ABR plus the Applicable Rate. During the first three months of 2003, interest on the term loans was calculated using LIBOR and we intend to select LIBOR as the borrowing rate in the future. The Applicable Rate for

14


the revolving loans and Tranche A term loan is based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as defined in the credit facility. The Applicable Rate is as follows:

 

 

LIBOR based borrowings

 

ABR based borrowings

 

 

 


 


 

Tranche A term loans and revolving loans

 

Between 1.75% and 2.25%

 

Between 0.75% and 1.25%

 

Tranche B term loans

 

2.25%

 

1.25%

 

Tranche C term loans

 

2.50%

 

1.50%

 

          Our $500.0 of revolving loans available under the credit facility is also subject to annual commitment fees between 0.25% and 0.5% on the unused portion of the loans. At March 31, 2003, no amounts were borrowed against the $500.0 revolving loans; however, the aggregate available borrowing capacity was reduced by $101.1 of letters of credit outstanding.

          The credit facility is secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock in our foreign subsidiaries and a security interest in substantially all of our assets and all of the assets of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (excluding, our interest in the EGS and Door joint ventures).

          The credit facility contains covenants, the most restrictive of which are two financial condition covenants. The first financial condition covenant does not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. The second financial condition covenant does not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 3.50 to 1.00. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 2.73 to 1.00 and our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 6.82 to 1.00.

          The credit facility also includes covenant provisions regarding, among other things, indebtedness, liens, investments, guarantees, acquisitions, dispositions, sales and leaseback transactions, restricted payments and transactions with affiliates. We have not paid cash dividends in 2003, and we currently have no plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock. Under the credit facility covenants, our ability to pay cash dividends in a fiscal year is limited to the lesser of $20.0 or 25% of our consolidated net income in the immediate preceding fiscal year, if our consolidated leverage ratio, pro forma for a cash dividend, is greater than 2.5 to 1.0. If this ratio is less than 2.5 to 1.0, we have the ability to pay cash dividends in a fiscal year in an amount up to 25% of our consolidated net income in the immediate preceding fiscal year.  Based on available information, we do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future.

          We are permitted to prepay the Tranche A, Tranche B and the Tranche C term loans in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. We are not allowed to reborrow any amounts that we repay on the Tranche A, Tranche B or Tranche C term loans.

          The final maturity for each loan is as follows:

          The credit facility also requires scheduled principal payments of the term loans and mandatory prepayments from net proceeds arising in connection with certain asset sales or dispositions and issuances of subordinated debt under certain circumstances.

          The revolving loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. Letters of credit and swing line loans are also available under the revolving credit facility.  The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit in U.S. Dollars, Euros, and Pounds Sterling at any time during the revolving availability period, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $250.0. Letters of credit issued under this facility reduce the aggregate amount available under the revolving loan commitment.

Liquid Yield Option Notes

          On February 6, 2001, we issued Liquid Yield Option(TM) Notes (“February LYONs”) at an original price of $579.12 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents an aggregate initial issue price of $576.1 and an aggregate principal amount of $994.8 due at maturity on February 6, 2021. On May 9, 2001, we issued Liquid Yield Option(TM) Notes (“May LYONs”) at an original price of $579.12 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents an aggregate initial issue price including the over allotment exercised by the original purchaser of $240.3 and an aggregate principal amount of $415.0 due at maturity on May 9, 2021.

          The LYONs have a yield to maturity of 2.75% per year, computed on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis, calculated from the date of issuance. We will not pay cash interest on the LYONs prior to maturity unless contingent interest becomes payable. The LYONs are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and are debt instruments subject to United States federal income tax contingent payment debt regulations. Even if we do not pay any cash interest on the LYONs, bondholders are required to include interest in their gross income for United States federal income tax purposes. This imputed interest, also referred to as tax original issue discount, accrues at a rate equal to 9.625% on the February LYONs and 8.75% on the May LYONs The rate at which the tax original issue discount accrues for United States federal income tax purposes exceeds the stated yield of 2.75% for the accrued original issue discount. In the event that either the February or May LYONs are put to the company or redeemed by the company, the respective imputed interest deduction less the original issue discount of 2.75% would be recaptured at the time of the put or redemption. As a result of the put on May 9, 2003, see below, we are subject to $11.6 of tax recapture on the May LYONs. For the February LYONs, the amount of the total recapture calculated on the first put date would be approximately $48.3 on February 6, 2004.

          The LYONs are subject to conversion to SPX common shares only if certain contingencies are met. These contingencies include:

 

          (1) Our average stock price exceeding predetermined accretive values of SPX’s stock price each quarter (see below);

 

 

 

          (2)  During any period in which the credit rating assigned to the LYONs by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s is at or below a specified level;

 

 

 

          (3)  Upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, including a change in control.

          In addition, a holder may surrender for conversion, at the accreted value, a LYON for redemption even if it is not otherwise convertible at such time.

          The conversion rights based on predetermined accretive values of SPX’s stock include, but are not limited to, the following provisions:

          Holders may surrender LYONs for conversion into shares of common stock in any calendar quarter, if, as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, the closing sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of such preceding calendar quarter is more than the specified percentage beginning at 135% and declining 0.3125% per quarter thereafter for the February LYONs, beginning at 120% and declining 0.125% per quarter thereafter for the May LYONs of the accreted conversion price per share of common stock on the last trading day of such preceding calendar quarter. The accreted conversion price per share as of any day will equal the issue price of a LYON plus the accrued original issue

16


discount to that day, divided by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a LYON on that day.

          Under GAAP, the LYONs are not included in the diluted income per share of common stock calculation unless a LYON is expected to be converted for stock or one of the three contingent conversion tests summarized above are met. If the LYONs were to be put, we expect to settle them for cash and none of the contingent conversion tests have been met, accordingly, they are not included in the diluted income per share of common stock calculation. If converted, the February LYONs and May LYONs would be exchanged for a total of 13.2 shares of our common stock.  If the LYONs had been converted as of January 1, 2003, the diluted income per share of common stock from continuing operations would have been $0.48 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.

          We may redeem all or a portion of the February LYONs for cash at any time on or after February 6, 2006 at predetermined redemption prices. February LYONs holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their LYONs on February 6, 2004 for $628.57 per LYON, February 6, 2006 for $663.86 per LYON, or February 6, 2011 for $761.00 per LYON. We may redeem all or a portion of the May LYONs for cash at any time on or after May 9, 2005. May LYONs holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their LYONs on May 9, 2003 for $611.63 per LYON, May 9, 2005 for $645.97 per LYON or May 9, 2009 for $720.55 per LYON. For either the February LYONs or May LYONs, we may choose to pay the purchase price in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and common stock.

          On May 9, 2003, 0.387 of the May LYONs were put to us and settled in cash for $236.9, their accreted value as of May 9, 2003. The 0.028 May LYONs that remain outstanding subsequent to the put have an accreted value of $16.9 at March 31, 2003 and are classified as long-term debt. Due to the settlement, we are subject to tax recapture on the majority May LYONs interest deduction. This will result in an income tax payment of approximately $11.6.

          SFAS No. 78, “Classification of Obligations That are Callable by the Creditor,” requires that obligations, that are by their terms, due upon demand within one year of the balance sheet date, should be considered short-term obligations. Both the May and the February LYONs have a put option date within twelve months of March 31, 2003. Therefore, of the $864.1 total accreted value of the LYONs at March 31, 2003, we have classified $448.3 as short-term debt. We have classified $398.9 as long-term debt as we have the intent and the immediate ability at March 31, 2003, through the availability of our revolving loans, to refinance this amount of any LYONs that may be put to us. We have also classified $16.9 as long-term debt as this is the value, accreted as of March 31, 2003, of May LYONs that were not put to us on May 9, 2003 and are still outstanding. The next put date for the May LYONs is May 9, 2005. In addition to using our revolving loans for the long-term portion of the LYONs, we may use cash, the trade receivable financing agreement that we entered into in April of 2003, or other capital market refinancings to fund the short-term portion of these obligations if they are put to us or reach maturity.

7.5% Senior Notes

               On December 27, 2002, we issued $500.0 of 7.5% senior notes pursuant to our universal shelf registration statement, which allows for the issuance of an additional $500.0 of securities after consideration of these notes. These notes mature on January 1, 2013. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, but are effectively junior to our senior secured debt and obligations of our subsidiaries.

          The indenture governing the notes contains a number of covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, with the exception of an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture, to incur additional debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock, make other restricted payments, including, without limitation, investments, create liens, enter into sale leaseback transactions, enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries, enter into transactions with our affiliates, and enter into mergers or consolidations. As of March 31, 2003, our capacity under the indenture to make restricted payments, which include paying cash dividends, purchasing subordinated debt prior to maturity and making restricted investments was limited to $209.5. The covenants contained in the indenture are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations. Under the indenture, none of our subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends to us.

Other Financing Agreements

          Our compaction equipment platform, part of the Industrial Products and Services segment, utilizes an accounts receivable securitization facility pursuant to which the platform has an agreement to sell, on a revolving basis

17


without recourse, certain qualified receivables, of which $29.6 had been sold under the agreement at March 31, 2003. The agreement allows for the sale of up to $36.5 of certain qualified receivables to an unaffiliated third party entity and continues on an evergreen revolving basis unless we provide a three-month notice under the agreement to discontinue the facility. We expect to utilize the agreement in the foreseeable future. If we did not renew the contract, the impact on our financial condition or cash flows would not be material.

          In April 2003, we entered into a three-year trade receivables financing agreement whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $130.0. As of May 12, 2003, we have not yet utilized this program.

(10)   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

          We have entered into interest rate protection agreements (“swaps”) to hedge interest rate risk on our variable rate debt portfolio. Our swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and as of March 31, 2003, we had outstanding swaps with maturities to November 2009 that effectively convert $1,300.0 of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate of approximately 7%.

          As of March 31, 2003, the pre-tax accumulated derivative loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $80.9 and a long-term liability of $80.4 has been recorded to recognize the fair value of these swaps. The ineffective portion of these swaps has been recognized in earnings as a component of interest expense and is not material. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

(11)   STOCK BASED COMPENSATION AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(All option and share amounts are in millions)

Stock Based Compensation

<R> </R>

<R>

          We have adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” and the following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 had the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” been applied to stock-based employee compensation. We have revised the pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share amounts for these periods to reflect the impact of the pro forma tax benefit for non-deductible equity instruments and of actual forfeitures.

Treasury Stock

          In the first quarter of 2003, we repurchased 1.5 shares of our common stock on the open market, for cash of $48.7. Under our board approved repurchase program, $201.3 was available for additional repurchases as of March 31, 2003.  In addition to the available capacity under the board approved program, our senior note indenture and credit agreement place restrictions on our available capacity; however, that capacity exceeded $201.3 as of March 31, 2003.
