INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (the Company or IR-Limited) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements restate the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, previously presented in order to report the Company’s Dresser-Rand business unit as discontinued operations.

Note 2 - Incentive Stock Plans
Under the Company’s incentive stock plans, approved in 1995 and 1998, key employees have been granted options to purchase Class A common shares. The Company continues to account for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for employee stock options since options granted are at prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant. The plans also authorize stock appreciation rights and stock awards, which result in compensation expense. Additionally, the Company maintains a shareholder-approved Management Incentive Unit Award Plan, which results in compensation expense. Compensation expense is recognized as a result of vesting and the Company’s Class A common share price. Fluctuations in the Company’s Class A common share price increase or decrease compensation expense.

The following table is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” and illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation:

In January 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 70% interest in CISA, S.p.A. for $267.3 million in cash and the assumption of $244.4 million of debt. The Company is commencing its acquisition integration plan, which will include such actions as facility closures and severance that will result in recording additional goodwill. This plan will be finalized during the third quarter of 2005. Additionally, the Company may record adjustments to goodwill from the finalization of estimates.

The following table sets forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets:

Intangible asset amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $14.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $26.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to be $48.9 million in 2006, $34.7 million in 2007, $29.3 million in 2008, $25.8 million in 2009, and $23.6 million in 2010.

Diluted earnings per share computations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 excluded the weighted-average effect of the assumed exercise of approximately 2.9 million and 0.1 million shares issuable under stock benefit plans, respectively. Excluded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were 0.1 million shares. These shares were excluded because the effect on the computation of earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

Additionally, an $8.6 million loss, related to an interest rate derivative qualified as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted issuance of debt, is included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2005. During the next twelve months, $0.9 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings, with the total being reclassified over the next 10 years. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months may vary from these amounts as a result of changes in market conditions. No amounts were reclassified to earnings during the quarter in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that the liability, which may result from these legal matters, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

In assessing its potential environmental liability, the Company bases its estimates on current laws and regulations and current remediation technologies. The Company does not discount its liability or assume any insurance recoveries.

Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey), a Company subsidiary, is a defendant in numerous asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The claims against IR-New Jersey generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain of IR-New Jersey’s products. Although IR-New Jersey was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos, some of its formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components, such as gaskets, purchased from third-party suppliers.

All claims resolved to date have been dismissed or settled. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax were approximately $7.7 million as compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company performs a thorough analysis, updated periodically, of its actual and potential asbestos liabilities projected seven years in the future. Based upon such analysis, the Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities, and that these liabilities are not likely to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Legislation currently under consideration in Congress concerns pending and future asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is uncertain what effect, if any, passage of such legislation would have upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company sells product on a continuous basis under various arrangements through institutions that provide leasing and product financing alternatives to retail and wholesale customers. Under these arrangements, the Company is contingently liable for loan guarantees and residual values of equipment of approximately $5.7 million, including consideration of ultimate net loss provisions. The risk of loss to the Company is minimal, and historically, only immaterial losses have been incurred relating to these arrangements since the fair value of the underlying equipment that serves as collateral is generally in excess of the contingent liability. Management believes these guarantees will not adversely affect the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has remained contingently liable for approximately $25.7 million relating to performance bonds associated with prior sale of products of IDP, which the Company divested in 2000. The acquirer of IDP is the primary obligor under these performance bonds. However, should the acquirer default under these arrangements the Company would be required to satisfy these financial obligations. The Company estimates that $11.9 million of the obligation will expire during the second half of 2005. The remainder extends through 2008.

The Company is contingently liable for customs duties in certain non-U.S. countries which totaled $6.7 million at June 30, 2005. These amounts are not accrued as the Company intends on exporting the product to another country for final sale.

In connection with the disposition of certain businesses and facilities, the Company has indemnified the purchasers for the expected cost of remediation of environmental contamination, if any, existing on the date of disposition. Such expected costs are accrued when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Note 8 - Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that cover certain eligible employees. These plans provide for health care benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits. Postretirement health plans generally are contributory and contributions are adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. The Company funds the postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis. The components of net periodic postretirement benefits cost for the three and six months ended June 30, were as follows:

Note 9 - Pension Plans
The Company has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees. In addition, certain non-U.S. employees in other countries are covered by pension plans. The Company’s pension plans for U.S. non-collectively bargained employees provide benefits on a modest final average pay formula. The Company’s U.S. collectively bargained pension plans principally provide benefits based on a flat benefit formula. Non-U.S. plans provide benefits based on an earnings formula and years of service. In addition, the Company maintains other supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees. The components of the Company’s pension related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, include the following:

A settlement loss was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 as a result of lump sum distributions under supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees. The curtailment loss in the second quarter of 2004 relates to a non-U.S. location included in the sale of Drilling Solutions.

The Company made required contributions of $15.9 million to its pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company contributed $17.0 million in required contributions and $40.0 million in discretionary contributions to its pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Note 10 - Business Segment Information
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company realigned its internal organization and operating segments to reflect its diversified structure and to promote greater transparency of results. The former Infrastructure segment has been disaggregated into two segments - the Compact Vehicle Technologies segment (formerly named the Bobcat and Club Car segment in the first quarter) and the Construction Technologies segment. Dresser-Rand (formerly its own reportable segment), which was sold in 2004, is now shown in discontinued operations. The prior year segment results have been presented to conform to these changes.

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

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary and Outlook
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR or the Company) is a leading innovation and solutions provider with strong brands and leading positions within its markets. The Company’s business segments are Climate Control Technologies, Compact Vehicle Technologies, Construction Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. The Company’s diverse product portfolio encompasses such leading industrial and commercial brands as Thermo King® transport temperature control equipment, Hussmann® commercial and retail refrigeration equipment, Ingersoll-Rand® industrial and construction equipment, Bobcat® compact construction equipment, Club Car® golf cars and utility vehicles and Schlage® locks and security solutions. In addition, IR offers products and services under many other premium brands for customers in industrial and commercial markets.

The Company seeks to drive shareholder value through three areas of emphasis: Dramatic Growth, by developing innovative solutions that improve our customers’ operations; Operational Excellence, by fostering a culture of continuous improvement and cost consciousness; and Dual Citizenship, by encouraging our employees’ active collaboration with colleagues across business units and geographic regions to achieve superior business outcomes. IR has transformed its portfolio to become a more diversified company with strong growth prospects by divesting cyclical, low-growth, asset intensive businesses, and improving efficiencies, capabilities and products and services for its high-potential businesses. The Company expects to pursue bolt-on acquisitions, stock buybacks and dividend enhancements with the cash flow generated from operations and divestitures.

The following significant events occurred during the first six months of 2005:

·
In January, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 70% interest in Italy-based CISA S.p.A. (CISA) for approximately $267 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $244 million of debt. CISA manufactures an array of security products, including electronic locking systems, cylinders, door closers, and panic hardware, and also markets safes and padlocks. In April, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in Shanghai Ingersoll-Rand Compressor Company Limited (SIRC) for approximately $26 million, which was a joint venture established in 1987. SIRC manufactures a wide range of products and components for IR and provides the Company with a network of company-owned distribution centers located in most major cities in China to sell, install and service IR products. In May, the Company acquired Security One Systems for approximately $31 million, a security systems integrator located in Florida. Security One provides security design solutions including access control, closed circuit TV, video surveillance and alarm monitoring. In May, the Company purchased Baumaschinen Bensheim GmbH, a German construction equipment dealer, for approximately $14 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company also made several smaller acquisitions.

·
During the first six months of 2005, the Company repurchased 6.0 million Class A common shares at a cost of approximately $478.6 million.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $2,759.5 million, a 13% increase compared with net revenues of $2,444.4 million in 2004. With the exception of Climate Control Technologies, all of the Company's business segments experienced double-digit revenue growth in the quarter compared to the 2004 second quarter: Compact Vehicle Technologies (20%), Construction Technologies (21%), Industrial Technologies (11%) and Security Technologies (20%). Climate Control Technologies revenues were comparable from period to period.

19

 
Revenues for the first half of 2005 were $5,218.3 million, a 14% increase compared with net revenues of $4,566.6 million in the first half of 2004. With the exception of Climate Control Technologies, all of the Company's business segments experienced double-digit revenue growth during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004: Compact Vehicle Technologies (25%), Construction Technologies (22%), Industrial Technologies (14%) and Security Technologies (18%). Climate Control Technologies revenues were comparable from period to period.  

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, all of the Company’s business segments, except Climate Control Technologies, reported improved operating income compared to 2004. These improved results were mostly attributable to increased volumes and product mix, improved pricing and acquisitions, while material cost inflation and manufacturing inefficiencies due to material availability continue to impact the Company’s margins. Productivity improvements also increased year-to-date operating income.

The Company reported second quarter 2005 net earnings of $285.4 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.67. Earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2005 increased by 22% compared to 2004. The Company reported net earnings of $508.5 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.94, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Earnings from continuing operations for the first half of 2005 increased by 30% compared to the first half of 2004. The Company benefited from higher volumes and favorable product mix, foreign currency exchange gains and reduced interest expense. The Company’s debt-to-capital ratio of 27.9% at June 30, 2005 was higher than the 24.3% at December 31, 2004 due to the issuance of $300 million of long-term debt during the second quarter.

Net Revenues
Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 increased by approximately 13% over the comparable quarter of 2004. Higher volumes and product mix accounted for approximately 8% of the increase, while acquisitions and improved pricing accounted for 3% and 2%, respectively. Revenues increased by 10% or more in the North America, Europe and Latin America regions. The Company continues to increase recurring revenues, which includes revenues derived from installation, parts and service.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2005 was 73.2% of revenue as compared to 72.9% in 2004. The slight increase was mainly due to higher material cost and manufacturing inefficiencies due to the availability of material from suppliers.
 
20

 
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2005 were 13.1% of revenues as compared to 14.0% in 2004. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to higher revenue and lower costs from stock-based liability programs. The favorable settlement of certain product-related litigation also decreased the 2005 expenses. These benefits were partially offset by higher expenses due to acquisitions. The selling and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2004 were reduced by the gain on the sale of corporate real estate of approximately $13.0 million.
 
Operating Income
Operating income for the second quarter of 2005 increased by approximately 19%. The increase was mainly due to higher volumes, product mix and improved pricing. These positive effects were partially offset by increased material costs and additional costs associated with operational improvement programs.
 
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $37.7 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the second quarter of 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower year-over-year average debt levels and lower interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net includes foreign exchange activities, equity in earnings of partially owned affiliates, minority interests, and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Other income (expense), net aggregated to $10.2 million of income in the second quarter of 2005 as compared with $1.5 million of expense in 2004. The change is primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange gains ($6.6 million), lower minority interest charges ($4.4 million) and higher interest income ($3.0 million). These increases were partially offset by lower earnings from equity investments ($2.1 million).

Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s second quarter 2005 provision for income taxes was $59.8 million, as compared to $38.3 million in 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate of 17% for the second quarter of 2005 is higher than the 13.8% in the second quarter of 2004. The 2005 rate increase is due to an increase in the 2005 earnings outlook, especially in higher tax jurisdictions, and tax benefits of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations, net of tax, for the second quarter of 2005 amounted to expense of $6.4 million compared to $47.0 million of income for the second quarter of 2004. The second quarter of 2004 included $37.0 million of gain from the sale of Drilling Solutions, and the results of operations for other divested businesses for the period owned by the Company. In addition, retained costs, mainly related to environmental costs, as well as legal fees, were higher in the second quarter of 2005.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
Earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $524.1 million, or diluted earnings per share of $3.03, compared with $401.9 million and $2.28 diluted earnings per share in the comparable period of 2004.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 73.4% of revenues as compared to 73.1% in 2004. The slight increase was mainly due to higher material costs and manufacturing inefficiencies due to the availability of material from suppliers.
 
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were 13.7% of revenues as compared to 15.0% in 2004. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to higher revenue and lower stock-based liability program costs. The favorable settlement of certain product-related litigation also decreased the 2005 expenses. These benefits were partially offset by higher expenses due to acquisitions. The selling and administrative expenses during the first half of 2004 were reduced by the gain on the sale of corporate real estate of approximately $13.0 million.
 
Operating Income
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately 24%. The increase was mainly due to higher volumes, product mix, pricing and improved productivity. These positive effects were partially offset by increased material costs and productivity investment costs.

Interest Expense

Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net, aggregated $17.4 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $4.9 million of expense in 2004. The change is primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange gains ($12.1 million), higher interest income ($10.4 million) and lower minority interest charges ($3.2 million), partially offset by lower income from equity investments ($2.3 million) in the current period.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $95.1 million, as compared to $56.9 million in 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate of 15.4% is higher for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to an increase in the 2005 earnings outlook, especially in the higher tax jurisdictions, and tax benefits of $8.8 million during the first half of 2004.

22

 
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations, net of tax, for the first half of 2005 amounted to expense of $15.6 million compared to $63.8 million of income for the first half of 2004. The first half of 2004 included $19.4 million (after tax) recorded for claims filed under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000, $37.0 million for the gain on the sale of Drilling Solutions, and the results of operations for divested businesses for the period owned by the Company. In addition, retained costs, mainly related to Dresser-Rand, were higher in the first half of 2005.

Review of Business Segments
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company realigned its internal organization and operating segments to reflect its diversified structure and to promote greater transparency of results. The former Infrastructure segment has been disaggregated into two segments - the Compact Vehicle Technologies segment (formerly named the Bobcat and Club Car segment in the first quarter) and the Construction Technologies segment. Dresser-Rand, which was sold in 2004, was previously its own reportable segment and is now shown in discontinued operations. The prior year segment results have been presented to conform to these changes.

Climate Control Technologies
Climate Control Technologies provides solutions to transport, preserve, store and display temperature-sensitive products by engaging in the design, manufacture, sale and service of transport temperature control units, HVAC systems, refrigerated display merchandisers, beverage coolers, and walk-in storage coolers and freezers.

During the quarter, the North American operations had flat revenues as strong volume in the truck and trailer business and growth in installation and service business were offset by a decline in display case shipments. International revenues were also flat as European truck and bus markets increases were mostly offset by a decline in the trailer and supermarket display case markets, compared to the second quarter of 2004.

Climate Control Technologies’ revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were comparable to 2004. Increases from the effects of currency and improved pricing were offset by lower volumes and product mix. Operating income and margins for the second quarter of 2005 were lower than 2004. Higher material costs of $13 million decreased operating income, as well as a decrease of $13 million due to lower volume and product mix. These negative effects were partially offset by improved pricing and productivity which increased operating income by $10 million and $2 million, respectively, as well as decreased costs from stock-based liability programs.

Compact Vehicle Technologies
The Compact Vehicle Technologies segment is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and service of skid-steer loaders, mini-excavators and golf and utility vehicles. This segment includes the Bobcat and Club Car brands.

During the quarter, Bobcat revenues increased by 27% compared to last year’s second quarter due to new product introductions, strong North American markets and higher aftermarket parts and attachments sales. Club Car revenues increased by 2% compared with the second quarter of 2004 as continued strength in the Precedent golf car, new product sales and an increase in service parts business helped to counteract a stagnant golf market.

Compact Vehicle Technologies’ revenues for the second quarter of 2005 increased by approximately 20% compared to 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes and product mix, which accounted for approximately 18% of the increase. The remaining 2% increase was mostly due to improved pricing. Operating income for the second quarter of 2005 also increased significantly, while operating margins declined slightly. Higher volumes and product mix contributed $32 million and improved pricing increased operating income by $10 million from the prior year comparable quarter. These positive effects were partially offset by higher material costs of $11 million and manufacturing inefficiencies of $11 million due to material availability from suppliers.

Compact Vehicle Technologies’ revenues for the first half of 2005 increased by approximately 25% compared to 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes and product mix, which accounted for approximately 22% of the increase. The remaining 3% increase was mostly due to improved pricing. Operating income and margins for the first half of 2005 also increased. Higher volumes and product mix improved operating income by $73 million, while improved pricing also added $27 million during the period. These positive effects were partially offset by higher material costs of $41 million and manufacturing inefficiencies due to material availability from suppliers.

Security Technologies’ revenues for the second quarter of 2005 increased by approximately 20% compared to 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to acquisitions, which increased revenues by 15%. The majority of the remaining increase was due to improved pricing and higher volume and product mix, partially offset by a divestiture in December of 2004. Operating income and margins also increased significantly during the period. Improved pricing, productivity and acquisitions increased operating income by $16 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively. The favorable settlement of certain product-related litigation also increased operating income for the second quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by higher material costs of $5 million, unfavorable product mix and volumes of $5 million and productivity investment costs of $5 million. Operating income for the second quarter of 2004 was lowered by litigation expense of $11 million, as well as a plant closure and the discontinuance of a plumbing fixture product line of $7 million.

Security Technologies’ revenues for the first half of 2005 increased by approximately 18% compared to 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of CISA, which increased revenues by 15%. The majority of the remaining increase was due to improved pricing and higher volumes and product mix. Operating income and margins also improved as compared to 2004. Improved pricing, productivity and acquisitions increased operating income by $28 million, $11 million and $5 million, respectively. The favorable settlement of certain product-related litigation also increased operating income for the first half of 2005. These increases were partially offset by higher material costs of $14 million, unfavorable product mix and volumes of $13 million and productivity investment costs of $10 million. Operating income for the first half of 2004 was lowered by litigation expense of $11 million, as well as a plant closure and the discontinuance of a plumbing fixture product line of $7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary source for liquidity has been operating cash flow. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended 2005 and 2004 was $124.4 million and $251.0 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash from operating activities for the first half of 2005 is primarily attributable to higher accounts receivable and lower accrued liabilities, partially offset by higher earnings in 2005.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2005 was $453.0 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities for the first half of 2004 of $161.0 million. Cash paid for acquisitions included the $267.3 million for the CISA acquisition during the first quarter of 2005. The six month period ended June 30, 2004 included cash from dispositions of approximately $200 million, mainly from Drilling Solutions.
 
Net cash used in financing activities in the first half of 2005 was $430.4 million compared to $448.0 million in 2004. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued $300 million of long-term debt.  The Company repurchased $478.6 million of Class A common shares in the first half of 2005, compared to $215.8 million in the same period in 2004. The Company made approximately $80 million of additional debt repayments during the first half of 2004, compared to the first half of 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased the preferred shares of a subsidiary. A payment of $63.3 million was made to an unrelated third party holder of the shares. The Company has fully consolidated this subsidiary since its inception. 

The Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio at June 30, 2005 was 27.9%, compared to 24.3% at December 31, 2004. The increase in the ratio is due to the issuance of $300 million of long-term debt during the second quarter. The Company's public debt has no financial covenants and its $2.0 billion revolving credit lines have a debt-to-total capital covenant of 65%, which is calculated excluding non-cash items. As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was significantly beneath this limit.

The Company’s working capital was $1,075.1 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $1,732.8 million at December 31, 2004. The change was due primarily to a lower cash balance at June 30, 2005 resulting from acquisitions, share repurchases and dividend payments, and an increase in current maturities of long-term debt. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable from increased sales and a planned increase in inventory due to expected sales volumes and continued material availability concerns.

Environmental and Asbestos Matters
The Company is a party to environmental lawsuits and claims, and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It is identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites.  For all sites there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company's site involvement is minimal.

In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable.  The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties' financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis.  Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. 

27

 
Although uncertainties regarding environmental technology, U.S. federal and state laws and regulations and individual site information make estimating the liability difficult, management believes that the total liability for the cost of remediation and environmental lawsuits and claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year.  It should be noted that when the Company estimates its liability for environmental matters, such estimates are based on current technologies, and the Company does not discount its liability or assume any insurance recoveries.

Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey), a Company subsidiary, is a defendant in numerous asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts.  In virtually all of the suits a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants.  The claims against IR-New Jersey generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain of IR-New Jersey's products.  Although IR-New Jersey was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos, some of its formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components, such as gaskets, purchased from third-party suppliers.

All claims resolved to date have been dismissed or settled. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax were approximately $7.7 million as compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The Company performs a thorough analysis, updated periodically, of its actual and potential asbestos liabilities projected seven years into the future. Based upon such analysis, the Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities, and that these liabilities are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Legislation currently under consideration in Congress concerns pending and future asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is uncertain what effect, if any, passage of such legislation would have upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New Accounting Standards
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize compensation expense in the income statement for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued. This applies to all transactions involving the issuance of equity by a company in exchange for goods and services, including employees. In accordance with a recently issued U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule, the Company will delay implementation of SFAS 123(R) until January 1, 2006. The Company is evaluating the transition applications and the impact the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

28

 
In December 2004, the FASB released Financial Staff Position 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (FSP 109-2). The American Jobs Creation Act (the Act) provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated in either an enterprise’s last tax year that began before the enactment date, or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment. FSP 109-2 allows for time for enterprises beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109. The evaluation of the effects of the repatriation provision will be completed within a reasonable period of time following the publication of the additional guidance. The Company is considering the impact of repatriation on a range of earnings of up to $525 million, and the corresponding income taxes may be as much as approximately $65 million. The resulting income tax, if any, will be provided in the Company’s financial statements in the quarter in which the evaluation and approvals have been completed.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Interpretation also clarifies that the term Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for the Company on December 31, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In June 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 143-1 “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations” (FSP 143-1), which provides guidance on the accounting for obligations associated with the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the WEEE Directive), which was adopted by the European Union. FSP 143-1 provides guidance on how to account for the effects of the WEEE Directive with respect to historical waste and waste associated with products on the market on or before August 13, 2005. FSP 143-1 is required to be applied to the later of the first reporting period ending after June 8, 2005 or the date of the adoption of the WEEE Directive into law by the applicable European Union member country. At this point, the Directive has not yet been adopted into law by the European Union member countries in which we have significant operations. Accordingly, we do not expect to fully apply this guidance until the third quarter of 2005, the expected period of implementation of the WEEE Directive by European Union member countries. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 143-1 will have on our results of operations and financial condition.

Safe Harbor Statement
Information provided by the Company in reports such as this report on Form 10-Q, in press releases and in statements made by employees in oral discussions, to the extent the information is not historical fact, constitutes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve risk and uncertainty.

The Company cautions that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the following, could cause business conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ from those expected by the Company: changes in the rate of economic growth in the United States and in other major international economies; significant changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies worldwide; tax legislation; currency fluctuations among the U.S. dollar and other currencies; political factors or changes; demand for Company products and services; distributor inventory levels; failure to achieve the Company’s productivity targets; and competitor actions including unanticipated pricing actions or new product introductions.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
For a discussion of the Company’s risk factors and uncertainties, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report incorporated by reference in Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004.
 
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including commercial and contract disputes, employment matters, product liability claims, environmental liabilities and intellectual property disputes.  In the opinion of the Company, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

By letter dated August 1, 2005, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") has assessed stipulated penalties of $120,000 against the Company for an alleged violation of a DEQ Administrative Order of Consent ("AOC").  The AOC governs the Company's environmental investigation and cleanup obligations related to the McCoy Creek Industrial Park, Buchanan, Michigan. The Company believes it has valid defenses against the penalty and is seeking to resolve this matter through the informal dispute resolution process provided in the AOC.

As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the SEC issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil For Food Program.  Upon receipt of the Order, the Company undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Program and has provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order. The Company will continue to cooperate fully with the SEC in this matter.

The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking and property, or any part thereof, and may issue debentures, debenture shares and other securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or any third party. Nothing contained in this Bye-law shall be construed to limit the Officers or any other Company official from being able to exercise these same powers to the extent they are duly authorised to do so.

Any general meeting may authorise the Board to fill any vacancy left unfilled at a general meeting. The number of Directors to be elected at any time within the minimum and maximum limitations specified herein shall be determined from time to time by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board then in office. Any vacancy on the Board within the minimum and maximum limitations specified in this Bye-law may be filled by a majority of the Board then in office; provided that a quorum is present.

The holders of Class A Common Shares (as defined hereinafter) shall be entitled at all meetings of the Members at which Directors are elected to one vote for each such share held by them as described in this Bye-Law. The holders of Class B Common Shares (as defined hereinafter) shall not be entitled to vote for the election of Directors.

(3) Notwithstanding subparagraph (1) of this Bye-law, any Member entitled to vote for the election of Directors at a meeting or to express a consent in writing without a meeting may nominate a person or persons for election as a Director only if written notice of such Member’s intent to make such nomination is given to the Secretary of the Company, either by personal delivery, mail or facsimile not later than (a) with respect to an election to be held at an annual general meeting of Members, 90 days in advance of the anniversary of the immediately preceding annual general meeting or if the date of the annual general meeting of Members occurs more than 30 days before or 60 days after the anniversary of such immediately preceding annual general meeting, not later than the close of business on the seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is given to Members and (b) in the case of any Member who wishes to nominate a person or persons for election as a Director pursuant to consents in writing by Members without a meeting (to the extent election by such consents is permitted under applicable law and these Bye-laws), 60 days in advance of the date on which materials soliciting such consents are first mailed to Members or, if no such materials are required to be mailed under applicable law, 60 days in advance of the date on which the first such consent in writing is executed. Each such notice shall set forth the name and address of the Member who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated for election as a Director, a representation that the Member is a holder of record of shares of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting or to express such consent in writing and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice or to execute such a consent in writing to elect such person or persons as a Director, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Member and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations for election as a Director are to be made by the Member, such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such Member as would have been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission if such nominee had been nominated, or was intended to be nominated, for election as a Director by the Board, and the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected. The Board may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.
 
11. Defects in Appointment of Directors

INDEMNITY
 
26. Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company 
 
(1) The Company shall indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (a) is or was a Director or Officer of the Company or (b) while a Director or Officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, general or limited partnership, firm, association, trust, estate, company (including a limited liability company) or any other entity or organisation or employee benefit plan or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under Bermuda law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall run to the benefit of any Director or Officer who is elected and accepts the position of Director or Officer of the Company or elects to continue to serve as a Director or Officer of the Company while this Bye-law is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this Bye-law shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such Director or Officer or the obligations of the Company with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such Director or Officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Bye-law. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under Bermuda law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; provided that to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Director or Officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bye-law or otherwise. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense are not permitted under Bermuda law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or Members) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or Members) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

14

 
 
(d) the terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of such series;
 
(e) the amount or amounts which shall be paid to the holders of shares of such series in case of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary;

(g) the voting rights, full or limited, if any, of the shares of such series; and whether or not and under what conditions the shares of such series (alone or together with the shares of one or more other series having similar provisions) shall be entitled to vote separately as a single class, for the election of one or more additional Directors of the Company in case of dividend arrearages or other specified events, or upon other matters;
 
(h) whether or not the holders of shares of such series, as such, shall have any preemptive or preferential rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of any class or series of shares of the Company, now or hereafter authorised, or any securities convertible into, or warrants or other evidences of optional rights to purchase or subscribe for, shares of any class or series of the Company, now or hereafter authorised;
 
(i) whether or not the issuance of additional shares of such series, or of any shares of any other series, shall be subject to restrictions as to issuance, or as to the preferences, rights and qualifications of any such other series; and
 
(j) such other rights, preferences and limitations as may be permitted to be fixed by the Board of the Company under the laws of Bermuda as in effect at the time of the creation of such series.
 
(5) Subject to these Bye-laws and except to the extent otherwise provided for in a series of Preference Shares in its designation, the Preference Shares shall be of equal rank and be identical in all respects. The Board is authorised to change the designations, rights, preferences and limitations of any series of Preference Shares theretofore established, no shares of which have been issued.

15

 
 
(2) If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the shares then in issue of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast in a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class in accordance with Section 47(7) of the Act. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.
 
(3) The Company may from time to time by resolution of the Members change the currency denomination of, increase, alter or reduce its share capital in accordance with the provisions of Sections 45 and 46 of the Act. Where, on any alteration of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the issue to Members, as appropriate, of fractions of shares and/or arranging for the sale or transfer of the fractions of shares of Members.
 
(4) The Company may from time to time purchase its own shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 42A of the Act.
 
46. Registered Holder of Shares 
 
(1) The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.
 
(2) Any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by direct deposit to the bank account designated by the Member for such purpose and cheque or draft sent through the post directed to the Member at such Member’s address in the Register of Members or, in the case of joint holders, to such address of the holder first named in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.
 
47. Death of a Joint Holder 
 
Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to the said share or shares and the Company shall, subject to Bye-law 58, recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.
 
48. Certificated or Uncertificated Shares 
 
(1) The shares of the Company may be issued in certificated or uncertificated form. The Board shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of such certificated or uncertificated shares of the Company.
 
(2) Promptly after uncertificated shares have been registered as issued, the Company or its transfer agent shall send to the registered owner thereof a written statement containing a description of the issue of which such shares are a part, the number of shares registered, the date of registration and such other information as may be required or appropriate.

50. Inspection of Register of Members 
 
The Register of Members and, if applicable, any branch register of Members shall be open to inspection at the registered office of the Company and, if applicable, any registration office, on every business day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each business day be allowed for inspection. The Register of Members and, if applicable, any branch register of Members may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper to that effect, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.
 
51. Transactions with Interested Members

(2) Interested Member status of a Member is determined as of the date of any action taken by the Board with respect to such transaction or as of any record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice and to vote with respect thereto or immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. Any determination made in good faith by the Board, on the basis of information at the time available to it, as to whether any person is an Interested Member, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of these Bye-laws.
 
(3) The provisions of subparagraph (1) of this Bye-law shall not apply to (a) any Business Combination with an Interested Member that has been approved by the Board or (b) any agreement for the amalgamation, merger or consolidation of any subsidiary of the Company with the Company or with another subsidiary of the Company if (i) the provisions of this subparagraph shall not be changed or otherwise affected by or by virtue of the amalgamation, merger or consolidation and (ii) the holders of greater than 50% of the voting power of the Company or the subsidiary, as appropriate, immediately prior to the amalgamation, merger or consolidation continue to hold greater than 50% of the voting power of the amalgamated company immediately following the amalgamation, merger or consolidation.
 
52. Record Dates 
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bye-laws, the Board may fix any date as the record date for:
 
(a) determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend; and
 
(b) determining the Members entitled to receive notice of and to vote in any general meeting of the Company; provided, that such record date shall not be more than sixty days before the date of such dividend or such general meeting, as the case may be.
 
53. Scrutineers 
 
(1) One or more scrutineers may be appointed by the Board to act at any meeting of Members, or, if the Board fails to act, the chairman of the meeting may appoint a scrutineer or scrutineers. A scrutineer may or may not be a Member, but shall not be a candidate for the office of Director.
 
 
17

(3) Each scrutineer, before entering upon the discharge of the duties described in Bye-law 53(2), shall be sworn faithfully to execute the duties of a scrutineer at such meeting with strict impartiality, and according to the best of such person’s ability.
 
TRANSFER OF SHARES
 
54. Instrument of Transfer 
 
An instrument of transfer shall be in the form as may be prescribed by the Board from time to time. The Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.
 
55. Restriction on Transfer 
 
(1) The Board shall refuse to register the transfer of a share unless such transfer is in accordance with the Bye-laws and all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda have been obtained.
 
(2) If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, the Secretary shall, within three months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.
 
56. Transfers by Joint Holders 
 
The joint holders of any share or shares may transfer such share or shares to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share or shares previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.
 
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
 
57. Representative of Deceased Member 
 
In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder (as set forth in Bye-law 58), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 52 of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.
 
58. Registration on Death or Bankruptcy 
 
Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Company may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in the form as may be prescribed by the Board. On the presentation thereof to the Company, accompanied by such evidence as the Company may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member but the Company shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.
 
 
18

 
 
59. Dividend Entitlement of Transferee 
 
A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the share. However, the Company may determine to withhold the payment of any dividend payable or other advantages in respect of such share until such person shall become the registered holder of the share or shall have effectually transferred such share, but, subject to the requirements of these Bye-laws being met, such a person may vote at meetings.
 
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
 
60. Declaration of Dividends by the Board 
 
The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with Section 54 of the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares held by them or the class or series of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets.
 
CAPITALISATION
 
61. Issue of Bonus Shares 
 
The Board may resolve to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata to the Members.

(c) the assets and liabilities of the Company.

AUDIT
 
65. Appointment of Auditor 
 
Subject to Section 88 of the Act, in the annual general meeting or in a subsequent special general meeting in each year, an independent representative of the Members shall be appointed by them as Auditor of the accounts of the Company. Such Auditor may be a Member but no Director, Officer or employee of the Company shall, during his or her continuance in office, be eligible to act as an Auditor of the Company.
 
66. Remuneration of Auditor 
 
The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or in such manner as the Members may determine.
 
67. Vacation of Office of Auditor 
 
If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by the resignation or death of the Auditor, or by the Auditor becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when the Auditor’s services are required, the Board shall, as soon as practicable, convene a special general meeting to fill the vacancy thereby created.
 
68. Access to Books of the Company 
 
The Auditor shall at all reasonable times have access to all books kept by the Company and to all accounts and vouchers relating thereto, and the Auditor may call on the Directors or Officers of the Company for any information in their possession relating to the books or affairs of the Company.
 
69. Report of the Auditor 
 
(1) Subject to any rights to waive laying of accounts or appointment of an Auditor pursuant to Section 88 of the Act, the accounts of the Company shall be audited at least once in every year.
 
(2) The financial statements provided for by these Bye-laws shall be audited by the Auditor in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Auditor shall make a written report thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the report of the Auditor shall be submitted to the Members in general meeting pursuant to Bye-law 64.
 
(3) The generally accepted auditing standards referred to in subparagraph (2) of this Bye-law may be those of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda. If so, the financial statements and the report of the Auditor must disclose this fact and name such country or jurisdiction.
 
NOTICES
 
70. Notices to Members of the Company 
 
A notice may be given by the Company to any Member either by delivering it to such Member in person or by sending it to such Member’s address in the Register of Members or to such other address given for the purpose. For the purposes of this Bye-law, a notice may be sent by mail, courier service, cable, telex, telecopier, facsimile, printing, computer generated email or other mode of representing words in a legible and non-transitory form.

72. Manner in Which Seal is to be Affixed 
 
The seal of the Company shall not be affixed to any instrument except attested by the signature of a Director and the Secretary or any two Directors, or any person appointed by the Board for the purpose; provided that any Director, Officer or Resident Representative, may affix the seal of the Company attested by such Director, Officer or Resident Representative’s signature to any authenticated copies of these Bye-laws, the organisation documents of the Company, the minutes of any meetings or any other documents required to be authenticated by such Director, Officer or Resident Representative.
 
WINDING-UP
 
73. Winding-up/Distribution by Liquidator 
 
If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a resolution of the Members, divide amongst the Members in specie or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as he or she deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities or assets whereon there is any liability.
 
ALTERATION OF BYE-LAWS
 
74. Alteration of Bye-laws 
 
No Bye-law shall be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-law shall be made until the same has been approved by a resolution of the Board and by a resolution of the Members.
