NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Basis of Presentation

ArvinMeritor, Inc. (the company or ArvinMeritor) is a global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components serving light vehicle, commercial truck, trailer and specialty original equipment manufacturers and certain aftermarkets. The consolidated financial statements are those of the company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Operations classified as discontinued at March 31, 2007 have been excluded from the discussion of continuing operations for all periods presented. On February 2, 2007, the company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Emissions Technologies (ET) business. Accordingly, ET is presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of operations, cash flows and related notes. The assets and liabilities, as defined in the definitive agreement, are classified as held for sale and included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. In addition, the company has made decisions to retain selected businesses previously held for sale. Results of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of prior periods have been restated to reflect continuing operations as of March 31, 2007. Additional information regarding discontinued operations is discussed in Note 4.

In the opinion of the company, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest September 30. The company’s fiscal quarters end on the Sundays nearest December 31, March 31 and June 30. The second quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006 ended on April 1, 2007, and April 2, 2006, respectively. All year and quarter references relate to the company’s fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated. For ease of presentation, September 30 and March 31 are used consistently throughout this report to represent the fiscal year end and second quarter end, respectively.

For each interim reporting period, the company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, the company recorded a $23 million tax benefit related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and the completion of various worldwide tax audits of certain of the company’s income tax returns.


2.	Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share calculation includes the impact of dilutive common stock options, restricted stock, performance share awards and convertible securities, if applicable.

A reconciliation of basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,

	2007		2006		2007		2006

Basic average common shares outstanding		70.2		69.3		69.8		69.2
Impact of restricted stock		—		0.4		—		0.5
Impact of stock options		—		0.2		—		0.1

Diluted average common shares outstanding		70.2		69.9		69.8		69.8

The potential effects of restricted stock and stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 because their inclusion in a net loss period would reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, at March 31, 2007, options to purchase 3.9 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. At March 31, 2006, options to purchase 4.3 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price for the period and thus their inclusion

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

would be anti-dilutive. The company’s convertible senior unsecured notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the company’s stock price during the quarter is less than the conversion price.


3.	New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in uncertain tax positions and requires expanded disclosures with respect to the uncertainty of income taxes. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the company beginning October 1, 2007 with any cumulative effect of any change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The company is in the process of determining the effect the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires an entity to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, such as a retiree health care plan, on the balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, within other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. SFAS 158 also requires measurement of the funded status of the plans as of the balance sheet date. SFAS 158 is effective for recognition of the funded status of the plans for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and is effective for the measurement date provisions for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of this statement will be dependent upon the company’s June 30, 2007 actuarial valuation of these liabilities and related changes in assumptions compared to the current year’s valuation. However, if this standard had been effective for the year ended September 30, 2006, the impact would have been a reduction to shareowners’ equity, net of tax, of approximately $300 million.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Quantifying Financial Misstatements”, which expresses the Staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. Registrants are required to quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. The financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material, after considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 is effective for financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The company will adopt SAB 108 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and is in the process of determining the effect, if any, it will have on its consolidated financial statements.


4.	Discontinued Operations

Emissions Technologies

On February 2, 2007, the company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Emissions Technologies business to an affiliate of One Equity Partners II, L.P., a private equity affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. Total consideration is expected to be approximately $310 million, including cash and a $20 million note less the assumption of certain liabilities, and is subject to adjustments for working capital and other items. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of the company’s 2007 fiscal year, subject to customary conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory consents and approvals and receipt by the purchaser of financing under its debt financing commitment letter. As of May 1, 2007, all necessary anti-trust approvals have been received. ET supplies exhaust systems and exhaust system components, including mufflers, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters and exhaust manifolds, primarily to original equipment manufacturers. ET is reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations and all prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. The assets and liabilities of ET, as defined by the definitive agreement, are held for sale and included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet.

In fiscal year 2006, ET continued to face significant challenges, including higher raw material costs, intense pricing pressures and increased competition. These factors were greater than previously anticipated and partially offset the expected benefits from the company’s fiscal year 2005 restructuring actions. In addition, higher stainless steel prices and recent downturns in production at certain North American manufacturers were expected to further negatively impact the financial performance of this reporting unit in

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

fiscal year 2007. These combined factors resulted in a decline in the fair value of ET in fiscal year 2006 and the company recorded a $310 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 as its best estimate of an impairment loss. The company completed its step two goodwill impairment analysis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, which supported the original goodwill impairment charge recorded in the prior year. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the company recorded an additional $115 million ($90 million after-tax) non-cash impairment charge against the long-lived assets of ET to record ET at fair value based upon the sale agreement. The impairment charge may be different than the ultimate loss recorded upon sale of ET and is subject to final reserves and adjustments at closing.

Light Vehicle Aftermarket

The company’s Light Vehicle Aftermarket (LVA) business is reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. The assets and liabilities of LVA are held for sale and included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, net property and amortizable intangible assets are no longer being depreciated or amortized. LVA supplied exhaust, ride control, motion control and filter products, as well as other automotive parts to the passenger car, light truck and sport utility vehicle aftermarket.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the company made a strategic decision to retain its Gabriel Ride Control Aftermarket business. Restructuring actions contemplated through the company’s Performance Plus initiative (see Note 5) now make this business viable as part of the company’s core light vehicle strategy. Accordingly, the results of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of these businesses are presented in continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements and prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. As a result of this decision, the company reduced certain inventory and accounts receivable reserves by $12 million to reflect the net realizability of these assets on a continuing operations basis. In addition, the company recorded a cumulative $2 million adjustment for depreciation expense related to the European LVA ride control business not recorded in fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The net amount of these adjustments is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations (see Note 8). The net property and equipment of Gabriel North American LVA ride control was written off in a previous period. Sales of Gabriel Ride Control Aftermarket were $73 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the company decided to retain its 51 percent interest in its Gabriel de Venezuela light vehicle aftermarket joint venture. As a result, the results of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of this business are presented in continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements and prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation.

In March 2006, the company completed the sale of its LVA North American filters and exhaust businesses. Cash proceeds from these sales were $194 million, resulting in a net pre-tax gain on sale of $34 million ($22 million after-tax). The company also recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 a non-cash impairment charge of $19 million ($12 million after-tax) to record certain LVA businesses at fair value. The net gain on the sales of the North American filters and exhaust businesses and the impairment charge are recorded in income from discontinued operations. In November 2005, the company sold its 39-percent equity ownership interest in its light vehicle aftermarket joint venture, Purolator India. Cash proceeds from the sale were $9 million, resulting in a $2 million after-tax gain, which is recorded in income from discontinued operations.

In order to reduce costs and improve profitability, LVA recorded restructuring costs of $4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2006. These costs for employee severance benefits related to the reduction of approximately 75 employees. At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, $2 million and $4 million, respectively, of restructuring reserves primarily related to unpaid employee termination benefits are included in liabilities of discontinued operations.

Light Vehicle OE Ride Control

The company’s light vehicle OE ride control business is presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods presented. In December 2005, the company sold its light vehicle ride control business located in Asti, Italy and recorded an after-tax loss on the sale of $2 million. This sale, along with the previous divestiture of the company’s 75-percent shareholdings in AP Amortiguadores, S.A. (APA) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, substantially completed the company’s plan to exit its light vehicle OE ride control business. This business provided shock absorbers, struts, ministruts, and corner modules to the light vehicle industry. As a result of the sale of the ride control operations located in Asti, Italy, in the six months ended March 31, 2006 the company reversed $11 million of restructuring costs related to employee termination benefits that would no longer be paid by the company.

Performance Plus: During fiscal year 2007 the company launched a profit improvement and cost reduction initiative called “Performance Plus.” As part of this program the company identified significant restructuring actions which would eliminate up to 2,800 positions in North America and Europe and consolidate and combine certain global facilities. Costs of these actions will be incurred over the next several years. The company recorded restructuring costs of $37 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to these actions. These costs include $34 million of estimated employee severance benefits and $3 million of asset impairment charges associated with two LVS facility closures in Europe and salaried headcount reductions in CVS. The employee severance costs relate to the reduction of approximately 120 salaried and 265 hourly employees.

Fiscal year 2005 program: In the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, the company announced the elimination of approximately 400 to 500 salaried positions and approved plans to consolidate, downsize, close or sell certain underperforming businesses or facilities. During fiscal year 2006, the company identified approximately 550 additional salaried and hourly headcount reductions in its LVS and ET businesses. Including these additional headcount reductions, the fiscal year 2005 program resulted in the reduction of approximately 900 salaried and 1,900 hourly employees and the sale, closure or consolidation of 11 global facilities, primarily in the LVS and ET businesses. These actions were intended to align capacity with industry conditions, utilize assets more efficiently and improve operations. As of March 31, 2007, actions related to the fiscal year 2005 were substantially complete. Cumulative restructuring costs recorded for the fiscal year 2005 program, including amounts recorded in discontinued operations, are $129 million as of March 31, 2007. These costs include $94 million of employee termination benefits, $29 million of asset impairment charges and $6 million of other closure costs. Asset impairment charges related to manufacturing facilities that were closed or sold and machinery and equipment that became idle and obsolete as a result of the facility closures.

Reversals and Adjustments: In the first six months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, the company reversed $9 million and $17 million of restructuring costs, respectively, related to previously recorded employee severance benefits. Due to the pending sale of ET, it was determined that payment of certain severance benefits by the company was no longer probable and $9 million of restructuring costs were reversed. Prior year reversals of costs primarily relate to employee severance costs that will no longer be paid or were lower than previously expected. The company sold the operations at two separate facilities and no longer had to pay severance costs to the related employees.

6.	Acquisitions and Divestitures

In October 2005, the company completed the sale of certain assets of its commercial vehicle off-highway brake business for cash proceeds of approximately $39 million and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $23 million. The sale included equipment and certain assets from manufacturing facilities in York, South Carolina and Cwmbran, U.K. The divestiture of the off-highway brakes operation is aligned with the company’s strategy to focus on its core products.


7.	Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring

In March 2006, the company entered into a European arrangement to sell trade receivables through one of its European subsidiaries. Under the arrangement, the company sells up to, at any point in time, €100 million of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and excluded from the company’s consolidated balance sheet. The company continues to perform collection and administrative functions related to these receivables. Costs associated with this securitization arrangement were $1 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007 and are included in operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. The gross amount of proceeds received from the sale of receivables under this arrangement was $256 million and $42 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The company’s retained interest in receivables sold is $14 million and $6 million at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The company had utilized €58 million ($77 million) and €48 million ($61 million) of this accounts receivable securitization facility as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

The company also participates in a U.S. accounts receivable securitization program to enhance financial flexibility and lower interest costs. Under this $250 million program, which was established in September 2005, and amended in fiscal year 2006, the company sells substantially all of the trade receivables of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation (ARC), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement with a bank. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 14). As of March 31, 2007, no amounts were outstanding under this accounts receivable securitization facility. At September 30, 2006, the company had utilized $40 million of this accounts receivable securitization facility. Borrowings under this arrangement are collateralized by approximately $272 million of receivables held at ARC at March 31, 2007. If certain receivables performance-based covenants are not met, it would constitute a termination event, which, at the option of the banks, could result in termination of the accounts receivable securitization arrangement. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the accounts receivable delinquency ratio as defined by the securitization agreement exceeded the maximum ratio allowable under the agreement. The company received a waiver for the covenant violation covering February, March and April 2007, if needed. At March 31, 2007, the company was in compliance with the original covenants.

In addition, several of the company’s European subsidiaries factor eligible accounts receivable with financial institutions. Certain receivables are factored without recourse to the company and are excluded from accounts receivable. The amount of factored

receivables excluded from accounts receivable was $96 million and $84 million at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

On October 4, 2004, the company formed two joint ventures in France with AB Volvo to manufacture and distribute axles. The company acquired its 51-percent interest for a purchase price of €19 million ($25 million). The company has an option to purchase and AB Volvo has an option to require the company to purchase the remaining 49-percent interest in one of the joint ventures beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 for €16 million ($21 million) plus interest at EURIBOR rates, plus a margin. This option to purchase the minority interest is essentially a financing arrangement as the minority shareholder does not participate in any profits or losses of the joint venture. Therefore, this option, including accreted interest to date, is recorded as a current obligation of the company and included in Other Current Liabilities and no minority interest is recognized for the 49-percent interest in this joint venture. This obligation was recorded in Other Long-term Liabilities at September 31, 2006 (see Note 13).

The company’s CVS segment records product warranty costs at the time of shipment of products to customers. Warranty reserves are primarily based on factors that include past claims experience, sales history, product manufacturing and engineering changes and industry developments. Liabilities for product recall campaigns are recorded at the time the company’s obligation is known and can be reasonably estimated. Product warranties, including recall campaigns, not expected to be paid within one year are recorded as a non-current liability.

The company’s LVS segment records product warranty liabilities based on individual customer or warranty-sharing agreements. Product warranties are recorded for known warranty issues when amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Debt Securities

In March 2007, the company purchased, at a premium, $18 million of outstanding 8-3/4 percent notes on the open market. In March 2006, the company completed the repurchase of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its previously outstanding notes in the following amounts: $195 million of its outstanding $200 million 6.625 percent notes due in 2007; $95 million of its outstanding

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

$100 million 6.75 percent notes due in 2008; $225 million of its outstanding $302 million 6.8 percent notes due in 2009; and $85 million of its outstanding $91 million 7.125 percent notes also due in 2009. The repurchase was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and, accordingly, $9 million was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment and is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The loss primarily consists of debt reacquisition costs associated with the note repurchase, unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount, and the premium paid to repurchase the notes.

Convertible Securities

In February 2007, the company issued $200 million of 4.00 percent convertible senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “2007 convertible notes”). The 2007 convertible notes were sold by the company to qualified institutional buyers in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Net proceeds received by the company, after issuance costs, were $194 million. The related debt issuance costs are being amortized over a twelve-year term, which represents the earliest date that the company can redeem the 2007 convertible notes. The company used the net proceeds from this offering to pay in full the $170 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan B (see Senior Secured Credit Facilities below).

Cash interest at a rate of 4.00 percent per annum from the date of issuance through February 15, 2019 is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. After February 15, 2019, the principal amount of the 2007 convertible notes will be subject to accretion at a rate that provides holders with an aggregate annual yield to maturity of 4.00 percent.

The notes are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, equivalent to 37.4111 shares of common stock per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $26.73 per share. If converted, the accreted principal amount will be settled in cash and the remainder of the company’s conversion obligation, if any, in excess of such accreted principal amount will be settled in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, at the company’s election.

Holders may convert their notes at any time on or after February 15, 2025. Prior to February 15, 2025, holders may convert their notes only under the following circumstances:


	•	during any calendar quarter, after the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2007, if the closing price of the company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 120 percent of the applicable conversion price;

	•	during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes is equal to or less than 97 percent of the average conversion value of the notes during such five consecutive trading day period;

	•	upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

	•	if the notes are called by us for redemption.

On or after February 15, 2019, the company may redeem the 2007 convertible notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the accreted principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. On each of February 15, 2019 and 2022, or upon certain fundamental changes, holders may require the company to purchase all or a portion of their 2007 convertible notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100 percent of the accreted principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2007 convertible notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the company that currently guarantee the company’s obligation under its senior secured credit facility and other publicly-held notes (see Senior Secured Credit Facilities below).

Subordinated Debentures

In March 2007, the company redeemed the $39 million of outstanding junior subordinated debentures at a premium and recognized $2 million as a loss on debt extinguishment, which is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In June 2006, the company replaced its $900 million revolving credit facility that was to expire in 2008 with two new senior secured credit facilities totaling $1.15 billion (the new credit facilities). The new credit facilities included a $980 million revolving credit facility and a $170 million term loan (Term Loan B) maturing in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

In February 2007, the company amended the revolving credit facility, reducing the borrowing capacity to $900 million, and used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2007 convertible notes to pay in full the $170 million aggregate principal amount

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

outstanding on the Term Loan B. As a result of the repayment, the company recognized a $3 million loss on debt extinguishment, which is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility are collateralized by approximately $1.3 billion of the company’s assets, primarily consisting of eligible domestic U.S. accounts receivable, inventory, plant, property and equipment, intellectual property and the company’s investment in all or a portion of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The amended revolving credit facility requires the company to maintain a total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio no greater than 5.00x and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA less capital expenditures to interest expense) no less than 1.25x. At March 31, 2007, the company was in compliance with all covenants.

Certain of the company’s subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the amended revolving credit facility. Similar subsidiary guarantees are provided for the benefit of the holders of the publicly-held and privately-placed notes outstanding under the company’s indentures (see Note 20).

Accounts Receivable Securitization

The company participates in a U.S. accounts receivable securitization program to enhance financial flexibility and lower interest costs (see Note 7). Under this $250 million program, which was established in September 2005, and amended in fiscal year 2006, the company sells substantially all of the trade receivables of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ARC. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement with a bank. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under this arrangement was approximately 5.19 percent at March 31, 2007. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are reported as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet and are collateralized by approximately $272 million of eligible receivables purchased and held by ARC at March 31, 2007. If certain receivables performance-based covenants are not met, it would constitute a termination event, which, at the option of the banks, could result in termination of the accounts receivable securitization arrangement. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the accounts receivable delinquency ratio as defined by the securitization agreement exceeded the maximum ratio allowable under the agreement. The company received a waiver for covenant violation covering February, March and April 2007, if needed. At March 31, 2007, the company was in compliance with the original covenants.

Related Parties

A 57-percent owned consolidated joint venture of the company has a $6 million, 6.5-percent loan with its minority partner that matures in fiscal year 2009. This loan is included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet.

The company also has an arrangement with a non-consolidated joint venture that allows the company to borrow funds from time to time, at LIBOR plus 50 basis points. No amounts were outstanding under this arrangement at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

As of March 31, 2007, the company had interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert $221 million of the company’s 8-3/4 percent notes, $63 million of the 6.8 percent notes and $75 million of the 8-1/8 percent notes to variable interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, the fair value of the 8-3/4 percent swaps was a liability of $4 million and is included in Other Liabilities and the fair value of the 6.8 percent swaps and 8-1/8 percent notes were not significant as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the company to place cash on deposit as collateral if the fair value of the interest rate swaps is greater than a liability position of $10 million. At September 30, 2006, the company had placed $6 million on deposit with the counterparty as collateral and recorded such deposit as a reduction in the carrying value of the associated interest rate swap. At March 31, 2007, no amounts were on deposit with the counterparty as collateral. The swaps have been designated as fair value hedges and the impact of the changes in their fair values is offset by an equal and opposite change in the carrying value of the related notes. Under the terms of the swap agreements, the company receives a fixed rate of interest of 8.75 percent, 6.8 percent and 8.125 percent on notional amounts of $221 million, $63 million and $75 million, respectively, and pays variable rates based on three-month LIBOR plus a weighted-average spread of 3.34 percent. The payments under the agreements coincide with the interest payment dates on the hedged debt instruments, and the difference between the amounts paid and received is included in interest expense, net.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Included in the fair value adjustment of notes is $10 million related to previously terminated interest rate swaps, which is being amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the related debt.

The company classifies the cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. This is consistent with the classification of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged item.

Leases

The company has various operating leasing arrangements. Future minimum lease payments under these operating leases are $21 million in 2007, $16 million in 2008, $13 million in 2009, $10 million in 2010, $8 million in 2011 and $11 million thereafter.


15.	Financial Instruments

The company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, long-term debt, interest rate swaps, and foreign exchange forward contracts. The company uses derivatives for hedging and non-trading purposes in order to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange rate exposures. The company’s interest rate swap agreements are discussed in Note 14.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company’s operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the company’s exposure to changes in exchange rates. The company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage the company’s exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts.

Under this program, the company has designated the foreign exchange contracts (the “contracts”) as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted foreign currency purchases and sales. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in the consolidated statement of shareowners’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. The contracts generally mature within 12 months. The impact to operating income associated with hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, there was a $2 million and $1 million loss, respectively, recorded in AOCI. Amounts recorded in AOCI are generally recorded in operating income over the next twelve months as the forecasted hedged transactions are recognized in earnings.

The company classifies the cash flows associated with the contracts in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. This is consistent with the classification of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged item.

Fair Value

Fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows (in millions):


	March 31, 2007				September 30, 2006

	Cash and cash equivalents — All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

	Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts — Fair values are estimated by obtaining quotes from external sources.

	Short-term debt — The carrying value of short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these borrowings.

	Long-term debt — Fair values are based on interest rates that would be currently available to the company for issuance of similar types of debt instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

In May 2007, the company announced a freeze of its defined benefit pension plan for salaried and non-represented employees in the United States, effective January 1, 2008. The change will affect approximately 3,800 employees including certain employees

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

who will continue to accrue benefits for an additional transition period, ending June 30, 2011. After these freeze dates, the company will instead make additional contributions to its defined contribution savings plan on behalf of the affected employees. The amount of the savings plan contribution will be based on a percentage of the employee’s pay, with the contribution percentage increasing as the employee ages. These changes do not affect current retirees or represented employees. The impact of these plan changes is not reflected in the company’s pension liability at March 31, 2007.


17.	Contingencies

Environmental

Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the manufacturing operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent on physical and scientific data at the site, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which its responsibility and remediation plans are established and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which ArvinMeritor is the only potentially responsible party, the company records a liability for the total estimated costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties.

The company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at seven Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the company’s potential liability has been finally determined. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur for the remediation of Superfund sites at March 31, 2007 to be approximately $30 million, of which $9 million is recorded as a liability.

In addition to the Superfund sites, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the company, alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously disposed-of properties. For these matters, management has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur at March 31, 2007 to be approximately $59 million, of which $15 million is recorded as a liability.

Included in the company’s environmental liabilities are costs for on-going operating, maintenance and monitoring at environmental sites in which remediation has been put into place. This liability is discounted using a discount rate of 5-percent and is approximately $9 million at March 31, 2007. The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $12 million.

Following are the components of the Superfund and Non-Superfund Environmental reserves (in millions):


	Superfund Sites			Non-Superfund Sites			Total

Balance at September 30, 2006	$	10		$	17		$	27
Payments		(1	)		(2	)		(3	)

Balance at March 31, 2007	$	9		$	15		$	24

Environmental reserves are included in Other Current Liabilities (see Note 12) and Other Liabilities (see Note 13).

The actual amount of costs or damages for which the company may be held responsible could materially exceed the foregoing estimates because of uncertainties, including the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, the success of the remediation and other factors that make it difficult to predict actual costs accurately. However, based on management’s assessment, after consulting with outside advisors that specialize in environmental matters, and subject to the difficulties inherent in estimating these future costs, the company believes that its expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, in future periods, new laws and regulations, changes in the remediation plan, advances in technology and additional information about the ultimate clean-up remedy could significantly change the company’s estimates. Management cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.

Asbestos

Maremont Corporation (Maremont), a subsidiary of ArvinMeritor, manufactured friction products containing asbestos from 1953 through 1977, when it sold its friction product business. Arvin acquired Maremont in 1986. Maremont and many other companies are defendants in suits brought by individuals claiming personal injuries as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Maremont had approximately 40,125 and 51,895 pending asbestos-related claims at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Although Maremont has been named in these cases, in the cases where actual injury has been alleged very few claimants have established that a Maremont product caused their injuries. Plaintiffs’ lawyers often sue dozens or even hundreds of defendants in individual lawsuits on behalf of hundreds or thousands of claimants, seeking damages against all named defendants irrespective of the disease or injury and irrespective of any causal connection with a particular product. For these reasons, Maremont does not consider the number of claims filed or the damages alleged to be a meaningful factor in determining its asbestos-related liability.

Maremont’s asbestos-related reserves and corresponding asbestos-related recoveries are summarized as follows (in millions):


	March 31, 2007		September 30, 2006

Pending and future claims	$	36	$	41
Shortfall and other		7		9

Asbestos-related reserves	$	43	$	50

Asbestos-related recoveries	$	27	$	31

A portion of the asbestos-related recoveries and reserves are included in Other Current Assets and Liabilities, with the majority of the amounts recorded in Other Assets and Liabilities (see Notes 10, 11, 12 and 13).

Prior to February 2001, Maremont participated in the Center for Claims Resolution (“CCR”) and shared with other CCR members in the payments of defense and indemnity costs for asbestos-related claims. The CCR handled the resolution and processing of asbestos claims on behalf of its members until February 2001, when it was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. Upon dissolution of the CCR in February 2001, Maremont began handling asbestos-related claims through its own defense counsel and has taken a more aggressive defensive approach that involves examining the merits of each asbestos-related claim. Although the company expects legal defense costs to continue at higher levels than when it participated in the CCR, the company believes its litigation strategy has reduced the average indemnity cost per claim.

Pending and Future Claims: At the end of fiscal year 2004 and through the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, Maremont established reserves for pending asbestos-related claims that reflected internal estimates of its defense and indemnity costs. These estimates were based on the history and nature of filed claims to date and Maremont’s experience. Maremont developed experience factors for estimating indemnity and litigation costs using data on actual experience in resolving claims since dissolution of the CCR and its assessment of the nature of the claims. Maremont did not accrue reserves for its potential liability for asbestos-related claims that may be asserted against it in the future, because it did not have sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of these unknown claims.

Maremont engaged Bates White LLC (Bates White), a consulting firm with extensive experience estimating costs associated with asbestos litigation, to assist with determining whether it would be possible to estimate the cost of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims that have been, and could reasonably be expected to be, filed against Maremont, as well as the cost of Maremont’s share of committed but unpaid settlements entered into by the CCR. Although it is not possible to estimate the full range of costs because of various uncertainties, Bates White advised Maremont that it would be able to determine an estimate of probable costs to resolve pending and future asbestos-related claims, based on historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that occur in the future. The company engaged Bates White to update the study as of March 31, 2007.

Bates White provided an estimate of the reasonably possible range of Maremont’s obligation for asbestos personal injury claims over the next three to four years of $28 million to $38 million. After consultation with Bates White, Maremont determined that as of March 31, 2007, the most likely and probable liability for pending and future claims over the next four years is $36 million. The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims is estimated based on the history of claims and expenses for plaintiffs represented by law firms in jurisdictions with an established history with Maremont.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The following assumptions were made by Maremont after consultation with Bates White and are included in their study:


	•	Pending and future claims were estimated for a four year period ending in fiscal year 2010. Maremont believes that the litigation environment will change significantly in several years, and that the reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures in connection with asbestos-related personal injury claims declines for each year further in the future. As a result, estimating a probable liability beyond four years is difficult and uncertain;

	•	The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims filed in Madison County, Illinois, a jurisdiction where a substantial amount of Maremont’s claims are filed, will decline to reflect average outcomes throughout the United States;

	•	Defense and processing costs for pending and future claims filed outside of Madison County, Illinois will be at the level consistent with Maremont’s prior experience; and

	•	The ultimate indemnity cost of resolving nonmalignant claims with plaintiff’s law firms in jurisdictions without an established history with Maremont cannot be reasonably estimated. Recent changes in tort law and insufficient settlement history make estimating a liability for these nonmalignant claims difficult and uncertain.

Shortfall and other: Several former members of the CCR have filed for bankruptcy protection, and these members have failed, or may fail, to pay certain financial obligations with respect to settlements that were reached while they were CCR members. Maremont is subject to claims for payment of a portion of these defaulted member shares (shortfall). In an effort to resolve the affected settlements, Maremont has entered into negotiations with plaintiffs’ attorneys, and an estimate of Maremont’s obligation for the shortfall is included in the total asbestos-related reserves. In addition, Maremont and its insurers are engaged in legal proceedings to determine whether existing insurance coverage should reimburse any potential liability related to this issue. Payments by the company related to shortfall and other were not significant in the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Recoveries: Maremont has insurance that reimburses a substantial portion of the costs incurred defending against asbestos-related claims. The coverage also reimburses Maremont for any indemnity paid on those claims. The coverage is provided by several insurance carriers based on insurance agreements in place. Incorporating historical information with respect to buy-outs and settlements of coverage, and excluding any policies in dispute, the insurance receivable related to asbestos-related liabilities is $27 million. The difference between the estimated liability and the insurance receivable is related to proceeds received from settled insurance policies and liabilities for shortfall and other. Certain insurance policies have been settled in cash prior to the ultimate settlement of related asbestos liabilities. Amounts received from insurance settlements generally reduce recorded insurance receivables. Receivables for policies in dispute are not recorded.

The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related reserves and recoveries from insurance companies are based upon assumptions and estimates derived from currently known facts. All such estimates of liabilities and recoveries for asbestos-related claims are subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities and recoveries are influenced by variables that are difficult to predict. The future litigation environment for Maremont could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Maremont in terms of plaintiffs’ law firm, jurisdiction and disease; legislative or regulatory developments; Maremont’s approach to defending claims; or payments to plaintiffs from other defendants. Estimated recoveries are influenced by coverage issues among insurers, and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies. If the assumptions with respect to the nature of pending claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Maremont’s asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial position and results of operations.

Rockwell — ArvinMeritor, along with many other companies, has also been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell products many years ago. Liability for these claims was transferred to the company at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business to Meritor from Rockwell in 1997. Currently there are thousands of claimants in lawsuits that name the company, together with many other companies, as defendants. However, the company does not consider the number of claims filed or the damages alleged to be a meaningful factor in determining asbestos-related liabilities. A significant portion of the claims do not identify any of Rockwell’s products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to Rockwell’s products, and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will never identify any of Rockwell’s products. For those claimants who do show that they worked with Rockwell’s products, management nevertheless believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the products involved, the encapsulated nature of any asbestos-containing components, and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants. The company defends these cases vigorously. Historically, ArvinMeritor has been dismissed from the vast majority of these claims with no payment to claimants.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the company engaged Bates White to assist with determining whether it would be possible to estimate the cost of resolving pending and future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims that have been, and could

ARVINMERITOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

reasonably be expected to be, filed against the company. Although it is not possible to estimate the full range of costs because of various uncertainties, Bates White advised the company that it would be able to determine an estimate of probable defense costs which could be incurred to resolve pending and future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims. Accordingly, the company has recorded a $7 million liability at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 for defense costs associated with these claims. This estimate was based on historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that occur in the future. Bates White was unable to determine an estimate of indemnity costs for pending or future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims. Bates White and management cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate liabilities for these costs, primarily because the company does not have a sufficient history of claims settlement from which to develop reliable assumptions. The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation and resolution of the litigation with the insurance companies (described below) make it difficult to predict accurately the ultimate resolution of asbestos claims. That uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse rulings or new legislation affecting asbestos claim litigation or the settlement process. Subject to these uncertainties and based on the company’s experience defending these asbestos claims, the company does not believe these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Rockwell was not a member of the CCR and handled its asbestos-related claims using its own litigation counsel. As a result, the company does not have any additional potential liabilities for committed CCR settlements or shortfall (as described above) in connection with the Rockwell-legacy cases.

Rockwell maintained insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for most of these claims. The company has initiated claims against these carriers to enforce the insurance policies. Although the status of one carrier as a financially viable entity is in question, the company expects to recover the majority of defense and indemnity costs it has incurred to date, over and above self-insured retentions, and a substantial portion of the costs for defending asbestos claims going forward. Accordingly, the company has recorded an insurance receivable related to Rockwell legacy asbestos-related liabilities of $7 million at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

Contingencies Related to Work Stoppage

The company’s collective bargaining agreement with the Canadian Auto Workers (“CAW”) at its CVS brakes facility in Tilbury, Ontario, Canada, expired on June 3, 2006. On June 4, 2006, the company announced that, after lengthy negotiations, a new tentative agreement with the CAW had not yet been reached and, as a result, the company had suspended operations at the facility. On June 12, 2006, the company reached a tentative agreement with the CAW, which was subsequently ratified on June 14, 2006, and resumed operations. As a result of this work stoppage, the company experienced temporary manufacturing inefficiencies and incurred certain costs in order to return to normal production. The company was temporarily unable to completely fulfill certain customer orders, resulting in temporary production interruptions at some customer manufacturing facilities. The impact of this labor disruption on operating income in fiscal year 2006 was $45 million. Included in this amount are premium labor costs, expedited freight and logistical costs and other costs associated with production disruptions at certain customers’ facilities. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 the company reached final settlement for a portion of the remaining contingent liability. Accordingly, the liability was reduced and a benefit to income of $9 million was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. At March 31, 2007, $8 million is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The company believes that any future adjustment to this liability will not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations and financial position.

Guarantees

In December 2005, the company guaranteed a third party’s obligation to reimburse another party (the other party) for payment of health and prescription drug benefits to a group of retired employees. The retirees were former employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company prior to it being acquired by the company. To date, the third party has met its obligations to reimburse the other party. The APBO associated with these retiree medical benefits is considered the maximum potential exposure under this guarantee, and is estimated to be approximately $25 million. No amount has been recorded for this guarantee based on the probability of the company having to perform under the guarantee. Due to the nature of this guarantee it is difficult to estimate its approximate term.

Indemnifications

The company has provided indemnifications in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures. These indemnities address a variety of matters, which may include environmental, tax, asbestos, and employment-related matters, and the periods of indemnification vary in duration. The company’s maximum obligations under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. The company is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnifications.

In connection with the sale of the LVA North American filters business, the company agreed to indemnify the purchaser against liabilities from litigation and commercial losses in connection with specific intellectual property claims, with a maximum

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

indemnity of $4 million for commercial losses. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the purchaser reached a settlement for these claims. As a result the company reduced its recorded liability by $3 million, the benefit of which is recorded in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.

Other

Various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the company, relating to the conduct of the company’s business, including those pertaining to product liability, intellectual property, safety and health, and employment matters. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition of matters that are pending will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

19.	Business Segment Information

The company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the company reports operating results under two segment: Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) and Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS). LVS is a major supplier of aperture systems (roof and door systems), chassis systems (suspension systems and modules) and wheel products for passenger cars, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, light trucks and sport utility vehicles to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). CVS supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles and drivelines, braking systems, suspension systems and ride control products, for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, trailers and specialty vehicles to OEMs and the commercial vehicle aftermarket.

Effective with the 2007 fiscal year, the company measures segment operating performance based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and loss on sale of receivables (EBITDA). The company uses EBITDA as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of the company’s reportable segments.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the use of EBITDA. The company may allocate certain common costs, primarily corporate functions, between the segments differently than the company would for stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These allocated costs include expenses for shared services such as information technology, finance, communications, legal and human resources. The company does not allocate interest expense, equity in earnings of affiliates and certain legacy and other corporate costs not directly associated with the segments’ operating income.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

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

OVERVIEW

ArvinMeritor, Inc. is a global supplier of a broad range of integrated systems, modules and components to the motor vehicle industry. The company serves light vehicle, commercial truck, trailer and specialty original equipment manufacturers and certain aftermarkets. Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, the company employs approximately 27,500 people at more than 112 manufacturing facilities in 26 countries. ArvinMeritor common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ARM.

On February 2, 2007, we signed a definitive agreement to sell our Emissions Technologies (ET) business to an affiliate of One Equity Partners II, L.P., a private equity affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. Total consideration is expected to be approximately $310 million, including cash and a $20 million note less the assumption of certain liabilities, and is subject to adjustments for working capital and other items. The transaction is expected to close during our third fiscal quarter of 2007 subject to customary conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory consents and approvals and receipt by the purchaser of financing under its debt financing commitment letter. As of May 1, 2007, all necessary anti-trust approvals have been received. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the company recorded a $115 million ($90 million after-tax) non-cash impairment charge against the long-lived assets of ET to record ET at fair value based upon the sale agreement. ET is reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations and all prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. The assets and liabilities of ET, as defined by the definitive agreement, are held for sale and included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal year 2007 we launched a profit improvement and cost reduction initiative called “Performance Plus.” As part of this program we identified significant restructuring actions which would eliminate up to 2,800 positions in North America and Europe and consolidate and combine certain global facilities. We estimate that the total costs of these actions will be $325 million, of which $280 million are estimated to be cash costs. We expect to incur these costs over the next several years. We recorded restructuring costs of $37 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to these actions. These costs include $34 million of estimated employee severance costs and $3 million of asset impairment charges associated with two LVS facility closures in Europe and salaried headcount reductions in CVS. The employee severance costs relate to the reduction of approximately 120 salaried and 265 hourly employees.

In May 2007, we announced a freeze of our defined benefit pension plan for salaried and non-represented employees in the United States, effective January 1, 2008. The change will affect approximately 3,800 employees including certain employees who will continue to accrue benefits for an additional transition period, ending June 30, 2011. After these freeze dates, we will instead make additional contributions to our defined contribution savings plan on behalf of the affected employees. The amount of the savings plan contribution will be based on a percentage of the employee’s pay, with the contribution percentage increasing as the employee ages. These changes do not affect current retirees or represented employees.

In the second quarter ended March 31, 2007, we completed the following transactions to further improve our financial and liquidity position:


	•	Issued $200 million of 4.00 percent convertible debt securities due 2027;

	•	Repaid a $170 million term loan due 2012 and reduced the borrowing capacity of our secured revolving credit facility to $900 million from $980 million;

	•	Redeemed the $39 million outstanding 9.5 percent subordinated debentures due 2027; and

	•	Purchased $18 million of outstanding 8-3/4 percent notes due 2012.

The second fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2007 had mixed financial results. Our Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) business segment continued to improve its segment EBITDA margins compared to prior periods, primarily driven by cost reductions from prior restructuring programs and improved product sales mix. In our Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) business, strong volumes in the Western European heavy and medium duty markets were offset by the early stages of the downturn in the North American heavy-duty (commonly referred to as Class 8) truck market. In addition, the concentration of European sales continues to unfavorably impact CVS segment EBITDA margins due to lower inherent margins and higher manufacturing costs resulting from volume constraints and inefficiencies.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

A summary of our consolidated results from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, is as follows:


	•	Sales were $1.6 billion, flat compared to the same period last year.

	•	EBITDA margin for our reportable segments was 4.2 percent, down from 6.0 percent a year ago.

	•	Diluted loss per share was $0.19, compared to earnings per share of $0.46 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

	•	Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 includes $23 million of after-tax restructuring costs; a $6 million after-tax benefit related to the reversals of certain impairment reserves; and a $4 million after-tax loss on debt extinguishment.

Our business continues to address a number of challenging industry-wide issues including:


	•	Excess capacity;

	•	High commodity prices, particularly steel and oil prices;

	•	Weakened financial strength of some of the original equipment (OE) manufacturers;

	•	Reduced production volumes and changes in product mix in North America;

	•	Higher energy and transportation costs;

	•	OE pricing pressures;

	•	Pension and retiree medical health care costs; and

	•	Currency exchange rate volatility.

Higher raw material costs and intense competition, coupled with global excess capacity most notably in the light vehicle industry, have created pressure from customers to reduce our prices. We continually work to address these competitive challenges and offset price decreases by reducing costs, improving productivity and rationalizing operations. The company’s cost reduction and productivity programs, including savings from our restructuring actions, offset the impact of lower selling prices to our customers.

Cash used for operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $63 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $126 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cash flow includes an $87 million increase in pension contributions and retiree medical payments and a $32 million increase in cash used for discontinued operations.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Our fiscal year 2007 outlook for light vehicle production for North America and Western Europe is 15.3 million and 16.1 million units, respectively, in each region. We expect that North American heavy-duty (also referred to as Class 8) truck production will decrease in fiscal year 2007 to 224,000 units, down from 352,000 last year, and European heavy and medium truck production will increase to 475,000 units, up from 439,000 in 2006.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

We believe that the cyclical downturn of the Class 8 truck market and continued production cuts in our North American markets will continue to pose short term challenges to our 2007 results. However, we believe that our current liquidity, diversified customer base and global footprint should allow us to weather these short term challenges while continuing to focus on product strategies and long term growth initiatives. Although the price of steel continues to challenge our industry during fiscal year 2007, the planned sale of our ET business will substantially reduce our exposure to this risk.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

Significant factors that could affect the company’s results in fiscal year 2007 include:


	•	Higher than planned price reductions to our customers;

	•	Additional restructuring actions and the timing and recognition of restructuring charges;

	•	The 2007 Class 8 downturn in North America is more severe than currently planned;

	•	Lower volume of orders from key customers;

	•	Our ability to recover steel price increases from our customers;

	•	The financial strength of our suppliers and customers, including potential bankruptcies;

	•	Any unplanned extended shutdowns or production interruptions;

	•	Our ability to implement planned productivity and cost reduction initiatives;

	•	The impact of any acquisitions or divestitures; including the pending sale of our Emissions Technologies business;

	•	Significant gains or losses of existing business;

	•	The ultimate outcome of the three class action lawsuits concerning our retiree medical plans;

	•	The impact of currency fluctuations on sales and operating income;

	•	The emergence from bankruptcy of certain competitors;

	•	Higher than planned warranty expenses;

	•	Our ability to continue to access our bank revolving credit facilities and capital markets;

	•	Issuance of new securities or refinancing of existing securities;

	•	A significant reduction of business activity in the key markets of our customers;

	•	Ability to implement enterprise resource planning systems at our locations successfully; and

	•	The impact of any new accounting rules.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we have provided information regarding “EBITDA”. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on sale of receivables. We use EBITDA as the primary basis to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.

Management believes EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is commonly utilized by management and investors to analyze operating performance and entity valuation. Management, the investment community and banking institutions routinely use EBITDA, together with other measures, to measure operating performance in our industry. Further, management uses EBITDA for planning and forecasting in future periods.

EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, as determined and presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

SALES	$	1,627	$	1,629	$	(2	)		—	%	$	56	$	(58	)

Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) sales were $552 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, down $23 million, or 4 percent, from a year ago. The effect of foreign currency translation increased sales by $20 million. Sales in North America decreased primarily due to lower sales in our suspension systems and modules business, including lower pass through sales. Pass-through sales were approximately $44 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to approximately $67 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Pass-through sales are products sold to our customers where we acquire certain components and assemble them into the final product. These pass-through sales carry minimal margins, as we have little engineering or manufacturing responsibility. Higher volumes in certain of our LVS European facilities were offset by production disruptions at our door module facility in Brussels, Belgium. These production disruptions unfavorably impacted sales by $21 million when compared to the prior year and were caused by work stoppages at a customer’s facility in Europe.

Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) sales were $1,075 million, up $21 million, or 2 percent, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The effect of foreign currency translation increased sales by $36 million. The early stages of the downturn in the North American commercial vehicle truck markets offset strong volumes in the Western European truck markets. Compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, production volumes in North America for Class 8 trucks decreased approximately 21 percent, and Western European heavy and medium-duty truck volumes increased 14 percent. This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of fiscal year 2007.

Segment EBITDA and EBITDA Margins

The following table reflects Segment EBITDA and margins for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions).

Segment EBITDA	$	68	$	97	$	(29	)		(30	)%		4.2	%		6.0	%		(1.8	) pts

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

LVS EBITDA was $8 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2007, compared to $10 million in the same period last year. Included in EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, are $29 million of restructuring costs. The restructuring costs primarily relate to employee severance costs and asset impairment charges for the planned closure of two facilities in Europe. Also included in EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is a $12 million benefit related to the reversal of certain impairment reserves in the light vehicle aftermarket ride control business now presented within continuing operations. Production disruptions caused by work stoppages at one of our customer’s facilities in Europe reduced EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 by $3 million compared to fiscal year 2006. Net of these items, margins improved compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 due to material savings and cost savings resulting from prior restructuring actions.

CVS EBITDA was $60 million, down $27 million compared to the same period last year. EBITDA margin decreased to 5.6 percent from 8.3 percent a year ago. Ongoing operational issues in our European CVS business, compounded by record truck sales in that region, along with higher pension and retiree medical costs of $5 million unfavorably impacted EBITDA. The higher pension and retiree medical costs are associated with a permanent injunction reinstating retiree medical benefits to certain UAW retirees granted by the court in fiscal year 2006. The unfavorable impact of this injunction was not recorded until March 2006. Also included in EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $8 million of restructuring costs associated with the reduction of 74 salaried employees and a $9 million benefit associated with the favorable settlement of claims related to prior work disruptions.

Other Income Statement Items

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $17 million, a decrease of $36 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Operating margin was 1.0 percent, down from 3.3 percent in the same period last year. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was unfavorably impacted by a $30 million increase in restructuring costs, partially offset by a net $10 million benefit of reducing certain impairment reserves related to light vehicle aftermarket ride control. This benefit is net of a $2 million cumulative depreciation expense adjustment to record depreciation expense that was previously deferred while this business was held for sale

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 6.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 5.5 percent a year ago. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with the launch of our Performance Plus program. Performance Plus costs will continue into fiscal year 2008 but are expected to be more than offset by savings generated by the program.

Interest expense, net was $34 million, compared to $44 million in the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates compared with the prior year due to our refinancing activities. Included in interest expense, net are losses on debt extinguishments of $6 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These losses include legal and other professional fees, unamortized debt issuance costs and premiums paid to repurchase and pay down debt.

Income tax expense was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $20 million in the same period last year. Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was favorably impacted by increased earnings from foreign subsidiaries whose tax rates are less than the statutory rate, tax efficient financing, and certain items discrete to the quarter, including the favorable impact of enacted tax rate changes in foreign jurisdictions. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we recorded a $23 million tax benefit related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and the completion of various worldwide tax audits of certain of the company’s income tax returns.

Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $13 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to income of $32 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Loss from discontinued operations was $81 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to income of $13 million a year ago. Included in loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 is a $90 million after-tax non-cash impairment charge to record our ET business at fair value. Also included in loss from discontinued operations is a reversal of $9 million ($6 million after-tax) of restructuring costs in ET related to employee severance benefits. Due to the pending sale of ET, it was determined that payment of these severance benefits was no longer probable.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 we completed the sale of our Light Vehicle Aftermarket (LVA) North American filters and exhaust businesses. Cash proceeds from these divestitures were $194 million, resulting in a net after-tax gain of $22 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. We also evaluated for accounting purposes the fair value of the remaining LVA businesses. This resulted in an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $12 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Income from discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2006 also includes after-tax restructuring costs of $8 million primarily related to our fiscal 2005 restructuring programs.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $94 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $45 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Sales

The following table reflects geographical business segment sales for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The reconciliation is intended to reflect the trend in business segment sales and to illustrate the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates, volume and other factors had on sales (in millions).

Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) sales were $1,074 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $48 million, or 4 percent, from a year ago. The effect of foreign currency translation increased sales by $44 million. Sales in North America decreased primarily due to lower sales in our suspension systems business and lower pass through sales in our suspensions modules business. Pass-through sales were approximately $96 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 compared to approximately $134 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2006. Higher volumes in certain of our LVS European facilities were more than offset by production disruptions at our door module facility in Brussels, Belgium. These production disruptions unfavorably impacted sales by $32 million when compared to the prior year and were caused by work stoppages at one of our customer’s facility in Europe.

Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) sales were $2,121 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007, up $150 million, or 8 percent, from a year ago. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales by $62 million. The increase in sales, net of foreign currency translation, was primarily attributable to strong Western European commercial vehicle truck volumes, partially offset by the early stages of the downturn in the North American commercial vehicle truck markets.

Segment EBITDA and EBITDA Margins

The following table reflects Segment EBITDA and margins for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions).


	Segment EBITDA										Segment EBITDA Margin

	March 31,										March 31,
					Dollar Change			% Change
	2007		2006		Dollar Change			% Change			2007			2006			Change

Segment EBITDA	$	145	$	196	$	(51	)		(26	)%		4.5	%		6.3	%		(1.8	) pts

LVS EBITDA was $22 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2007, compared to EBITDA of $18 million in the same period last year. Included in EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, are $29 million of restructuring costs. The restructuring costs primarily relate to employee severance costs and asset impairment charges for the planned closure of two facilities

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

in Europe. Also included in EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2007 is a $12 million benefit related to the reversal of certain impairment reserves in the light vehicle aftermarket ride control business now presented within continuing operations. Production disruptions caused by work stoppages at one of our customer’s facilities in Europe reduced EBITDA in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 by $4 million compared to fiscal year 2006. Net of these items, margins improved compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2006 due to material savings and cost savings resulting from prior restructuring actions.

CVS EBITDA was $123 million, down $55 million compared to the same period last year. EBITDA margin decreased to 5.8 percent from 9.0 percent a year ago. Production interruptions and higher costs at a European axle facility related to the simultaneous launch of a new axle product line and the implementation of a new ERP system unfavorably impacted EBITDA by $13 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2007. These costs, ongoing operational issues in our European CVS business, compounded by record truck sales in that region, along with higher pension and retiree medical costs of $10 million offset the benefits of higher CVS sales volumes. The higher pension and retiree medical costs are associated with a permanent injunction reinstating retiree medical benefits to certain UAW retirees granted by the court in fiscal year 2006. The unfavorable impact of this injunction was not recorded until March 2006. Also included in EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $8 million restructuring costs associated with the reduction of 74 salaried employees and a $9 million benefit associated with the favorable settlement of claims related to prior work disruptions. Included in EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was a $23 million gain on the sale of certain assets of CVS’ off-highway brakes business.

Other Income Statement Items

Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $50 million, a decrease of $63 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2006. Operating margin was 1.6 percent, down from 3.7 percent. Operating income in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was unfavorably impacted by a $28 million increase in restructuring costs, partially offset by a net $10 million benefit of reducing certain impairment reserves related to light vehicle aftermarket ride control. This benefit is net of a $2 million cumulative depreciation expense adjustment to record depreciation expense that was previously deferred while this business was held for sale. Also favorably impacting operating income in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 were lower incentive compensation expenses due to company performance versus plan. Included in operating income in the prior year was the $23 million gain on the sale of certain assets of CVS’ off-highway brakes business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 5.4 percent in the first six months of fiscal year 2007, flat compared to a year ago. The costs of launching our Performance Plus program in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 were more than offset by lower incentive compensation expenses due to company performance versus plan.

Equity in earnings of affiliates was $14 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $13 million in the six months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily related to higher earnings of our commercial vehicle affiliates.

Interest expense, net was $61 million, compared to $75 million in the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates compared with the prior year due to our refinancing activities. Included in interest expense, net and other are losses on debt extinguishments of $6 million and $9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These losses include legal and other professional fees, unamortized debt issuance costs and premiums paid to repurchase and pay down debt.

The provision for income taxes was $1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a benefit of $14 million in the same period last year. The primary reason for the increase in tax expense is the favorable settlement of worldwide tax audits in the prior year, offset by increased earnings from foreign subsidiaries whose tax rates are less than the statutory rate as well as certain items discrete to the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Loss from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was $3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to income of $58 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Loss from discontinued operations was $84 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to income from discontinued operations of $21 million a year ago. Included in loss from discontinued operations in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 is a $90 million after-tax non-cash impairment charge to record our ET business at fair value. Also included in loss from discontinued operations is a reversal of $9 million of restructuring costs in ET related to employee severance benefits. Due to the pending sale of ET, it was determined that payment of these severance benefits was no longer probable.

In the first six months of fiscal year 2006 we completed the sale of our LVA North American filters and exhaust businesses. Cash proceeds from these divestitures were $194 million, resulting in a net after-tax gain of $22 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. We also evaluated for accounting purposes the fair value of the remaining LVA businesses. This resulted in an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $12 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Also included in income from discontinued operations in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 was an after-tax gain of approximately $2 million on the sale of our 39-percent equity ownership interest in our light vehicle aftermarket joint venture, Purolator India and an after-tax loss of $2 million on the sale of the LVS ride control

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

business located in Asti, Italy. Income from discontinued operations in the six months ended March 31, 2006, includes after-tax restructuring costs of $1 million. These restructuring costs are net of reversals of approximately $11 million of after-tax employee severance costs that were recorded in the prior year as part of our fiscal year 2005 restructuring actions. We sold operations at two separate facilities and no longer had to pay severance costs to the related employees.

Net loss for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was $87 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $79 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Cash used for financing activities was $14 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2007, compared to $246 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2006. In February 2007, we issued $200 million of 4.00 percent convertible senior unsecured notes due 2027. Net proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to retire outstanding debt, including our $170 million outstanding Term Loan B under our senior secured credit facility; our $39 million of 9.5 percent subordinated debentures due 2027 and $18 million of our outstanding
8-3/4 percent notes. We incurred $10 million of costs, including premiums paid, related to these transactions.

In March 2006, we issued $300 million of 4.625 percent convertible senior unsecured notes due 2026. Net proceeds from the offering, along with proceeds from the sales of our LVA North American filters and exhaust businesses and borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization programs, were used to purchase and extinguish $600 million of certain outstanding near-term debt maturities. We incurred $18 million of costs related to these transactions. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we purchased, at a discount, $3 million of our 6.8 percent notes on the open market.

We remain committed to strong cash flow generation, the reduction of debt and regaining investment grade financial metrics. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, our primary source of liquidity was borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Our total debt to capitalization ratio was 56 percent at March 31, 2007 and 55 percent at September 30, 2006.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

Liquidity

Revolving and Other Debt – In June 2006, we replaced our $900 million revolving credit facility that was to expire in 2008 with two new senior secured credit facilities totaling $1.15 billion (the new credit facilities). The new credit facilities included a $980 million revolving credit facility and a $170 million term loan (Term Loan B) maturing in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In February 2007, the company amended the revolving credit facility, reducing the borrowing capacity to $900 million, and used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2007 convertible notes to pay in full the $170 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan B. At March 31, 2007, $74 million was outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility are subject to interest based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin, and a commitment fee on undrawn amounts, both of which are based upon the company’s current credit rating for the new credit facility. At March 31, 2007, the margin over the LIBOR rate was 150 basis points, and the commitment fee was 30 basis points. Similar to the prior revolving credit facility, the new revolving credit facility includes a $150 million limit on the issuance of letters of credit. At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, approximately $37 million and $25 million of letters of credit, respectively, were issued. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by approximately $1.3 billion of the company’s assets, primarily consisting of eligible domestic U.S. accounts receivable, inventory, plant, property, and equipment, intellectual property and the company’s investment in all or a portion of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Certain of the company’s subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the amended revolving credit facility. The new credit facility requires us to maintain a total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio of no greater than 5.00x and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA less capital expenditures to interest expense) of no less than 1.25x. At March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants.

In March 2007, the company extinguished the $39 million of outstanding preferred capital securities at a premium and recognized $2 million as a loss on debt extinguishment, which is included in interest expense, net and other in the consolidated statement of operations.

We also have an arrangement with a non-consolidated joint venture that allows us to borrow funds from time to time, at LIBOR plus 50 basis points. No amounts were outstanding under this arrangement at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

Debt Securities - In March 2007, the company purchased, at a premium, $18 million of outstanding 8-3/4 percent notes on the open market. In fiscal year 2006, we completed several transactions which strengthened our ongoing liquidity by extending or eliminating certain debt maturities. Specifically, we purchased, at a discount, $69 million of our $380 million outstanding 8-3/4 percent notes and $3 million of our outstanding 6.8 percent notes on the open market and we completed an offer to repurchase $600 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding notes in the following amounts: $195 million of our outstanding $200 million 6.625 percent notes due in 2007; $95 million of our outstanding $100 million 6.75 percent notes due in 2008; $225 million of our outstanding $302 million 6.8 percent notes due in 2009; and $85 million of our outstanding $91 million 7.125 percent notes also due in 2009. Also in fiscal year 2006, we purchased $12 million of U.S. government securities and placed those securities into an irrevocable trust, for the sole purpose of funding payments of principal and interest through the stated maturity on the $5 million outstanding 6-3/4% notes due 2008 and the $6 million outstanding 7.125% notes due 2009, in order to defease certain covenants under the associated indenture.

We have $150 million of debt securities remaining unissued under our shelf registration filed with the SEC in April 2001.

Convertible Notes – In February 2007, the company issued $200 million of 4.00 percent convertible senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “2007 convertible notes”). The 2007 convertible notes were sold by the company to qualified institutional buyers in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Net proceeds received by the company, after issuance costs, were $194 million. The related debt issuance costs are being amortized over a twelve-year term, which represents the earliest date that the company can redeem the 2007 convertible notes. The company used the net proceeds from this offering to pay in full the $170 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan B (see Revolving and Other debt above).

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

company’s conversion obligation, if any, in excess of such accreted principal amount will be settled in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, at the company’s election.

Holders may convert their notes at any time on or after February 15, 2025. Prior to February 15, 2025, holders may convert their notes only under the following circumstances:


	•	during any calendar quarter, after the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2007, if the closing price of the company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 120 percent of the applicable conversion price;

	•	during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes is equal to or less than 97 percent of the average conversion value of the notes during such five consecutive trading day period;

	•	upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

	•	if the notes are called by us for redemption.

Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring – In March 2006, we entered into a European arrangement to sell trade receivables through one of our European subsidiaries. Under the arrangement, we sell up to, at any point in time, €100 million ($132 million) of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and excluded from the consolidated balance sheet. We continue to perform collection and administrative functions related to these receivables. We had utilized €58 million ($77 million) and €48 million ($61 million) of this accounts receivable securitization facility as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

We also participate in a U.S. accounts receivable securitization program to enhance financial flexibility and lower interest costs. Under this $250 million program, which was established in September 2005 and amended in fiscal year 2006, we sell substantially all of the trade receivables of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation (ARC), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings under a loan agreement with a bank. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2007 no amounts were outstanding under this accounts receivable securitization facility. At September 30, 2006, the company had utilized $40 million of this accounts receivable securitization facility. Borrowings under this arrangement are collateralized by approximately $272 million of receivables held at ARC at March 31, 2007. If certain receivables performance-based covenants are not met, it would constitute a termination event, which, at the option of the banks, could result in termination of the accounts receivable securitization arrangement. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the accounts receivable delinquency ratio as defined by the securitization agreement exceeded the maximum ratio allowable under the agreement. The company received a waiver for covenant violation covering February, March and April 2007, if needed. At March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the original covenants.

In addition, several of our European subsidiaries factor eligible accounts receivable with financial institutions. Certain receivables are factored without recourse to the company and are excluded from accounts receivable. The amount of factored receivables excluded from accounts receivable was $96 million and $84 million at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Credit Ratings - Our corporate credit rating at Moody’s Investors Service was lowered on January 19, 2007, to Ba3 from Ba2. On January 23, 2007, Standard & Poor’s lowered our corporate credit rating to BB- from BB. Based on current credit ratings, the applicable margin over LIBOR rate on our $900 million revolving credit facility was 150 basis points, and the commitment fee was 30 basis points.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees - In December 2005, we guaranteed a third party’s obligation to reimburse another party (the other party) for payment of health and prescription drug benefits to a group of retired employees. The retirees were former employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company prior to its being acquired by the company. To date, the third party has met its obligations to reimburse the other party. The APBO associated with these retiree medical benefits is considered the maximum potential exposure under this guarantee, and is estimated to be approximately $25 million. No amount has been recorded for this guarantee based on the

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

probability of our having to perform under the guarantee. Due to the nature of this guarantee it is difficult to estimate its approximate term.

In addition to these guarantees we have other off-balance sheet arrangements, primarily related to our European accounts receivable securitization program and letters of credit under our senior secured credit facilities. See “Revolving and Other Debt” and “Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring.”

New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to global market risks including foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and interest rate risk associated with our debt.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. Under this program, we have designated the foreign currency contracts (the “contracts”) as cash flow hedges of underlying foreign currency forecasted purchases and sales. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in the statement of shareowners’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. The contracts generally mature within 12 months.

We also use interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. It is our policy not to enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes, and therefore, we hold no derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Sensitivity Analysis: We use sensitivity models to calculate the fair value and cash flow impact that a hypothetical change in market currency rates and interest rates would have on derivative and debt instruments. Actual gains or losses in the future may differ significantly from that analysis, however, based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and the company’s actual exposures.

The results of the sensitivity analysis are as follows (in millions):


	Assuming a 10% Increase in Rates			Assuming a 10% Decrease in Rates			Increase / (Decrease) on

Market Risk
Foreign Currency Sensitivity:
Forward contracts⁽¹⁾	$	21.6			(21.6	)		Fair Value
Foreign currency denominated debt	$	2.1			(2.1	)		Fair Value

Interest Rate Sensitivity:
Debt - fixed rate	$	(45.6	)		48.0			Fair Value
Debt - variable rate	$	(3.7	)		3.7			Cash Flow

Interest rate swaps (pay variable, receive fixed)	$	(6.5	)		6.5			Fair Value

⁽¹⁾ Includes only the risk related to the derivative instruments that serve as hedges and does not include the risk related to the underlying hedged item or on other operating transactions. The analyses assume overall derivative instruments and debt levels remain unchanged for each hypothetical scenario.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management, with the participation of Charles G. McClure, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President; and James D. Donlon, III, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

ARVINMERITOR, INC.

There have been no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the rule, the company continues to review and document its disclosure controls and procedures, including the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring that the company’s systems evolve with the business.
