REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Retirement Programs Committee

Federal-Mogul Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Federal-Mogul Corporation Employee Investment Program as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Description of the Plan

 

Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”) sponsors the Federal-Mogul Corporation Employee Investment Program (the “Plan”). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan which provides eligible hourly employees of the Company with a program for making voluntary pre-tax and after-tax contributions. Substantially all domestic hourly employees of the Company and subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

 

On March 31, 2003, and May 6, 2003 the Plan received assets from other Company investment programs, the Bentley-Harris Manufacturing Company Local 390 Employees 401(k) Plan and the Supermet Independent Employee 401(k) Plan, respectively. On June 30, 2003 assets were transferred to the Plan from the Metal Leve, Inc. 401(k) Plan, another Company investment program. On December 3, 2003 the Plan also received assets from the AE Goetze Sparta “A” 401(k) Plan and the AE Goetze Sparta “B” 401(k) plan, both investment programs of the Company.

 

Fiduciary Counselors Inc., as the independent fiduciary, manages the Plan’s investment in the Federal-Mogul Corporation Common Stock (“Common Stock”). In its role as an independent fiduciary, Fiduciary Counselors Inc. has the authority to continue, restrict, or terminate the investment of Common Stock within the Plan.

 

On October 1, 2001, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved the Company’s motion to continue to operate the Plan. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Master Trust

 

The Plan invests in a master trust. The Plan’s assets are administered under the terms of the master trust agreement (the “Master Trust”) between the Company and the Fidelity Management Trust Company (the “Trustee”). The agreement provides, among other things, that the Trustee safekeeps all investments, and keeps account for all investments, receipts, and disbursements, benefit payments, and other transactions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

Forfeitures

 

Company contributions which are not vested at the time of a participant’s withdrawal from the Plan are forfeited and are applied as a reduction of future Company contributions.

 

If the individual is re-employed within 60 months of his/her severance of employment and repays the full amount previously distributed to him/her from the Company contribution account and otherwise qualifies for reinstatement in the Plan, the amount of the forfeiture is re-credited to his/her account in the reinstatement year.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, Company’s contribution, if applicable, and Plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided not in excess of the participant’s vested account balance.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

Participant Loans Receivable

 

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their account under certain plan conditions. The maximum amount of a participant’s borrowings shall not exceed $50,000 over a 12 month period and is limited to the lower of 50% of the participant’s vested account balance or 90% of the participant’s employee contribution accounts. No borrowings shall be permitted for amounts under $1,000. Loans for the purchase of a primary residence can be for a 15-year duration. All other borrowings shall be paid back in equal payments through payroll deductions not to exceed four-and-one-half years.

 

Payment of Benefits / Withdrawals

 

In the event of retirement (as defined by the Plan agreement), death, total and permanent disability, termination of employment (as defined by the Plan agreement), or attainment of age 59 1/2, the vested balances in the participant’s accounts will be distributed to the participant or the participant’s beneficiary in either a lump-sum distribution, or periodic installments.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Investments in all the investment funds, except the Stable Value Fund, are valued at quoted market prices. The Stable Value Fund is valued at fair market value as determined by Fidelity Management Trust Company. The Participant Loans are valued at their outstanding values, which approximate fair value.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Expenses incurred in the operation of the Plan are paid by the Plan unless paid by the Company or the Participants. No expenses are paid from the trust unless such payment is permitted by law. Participants may incur administrative expenses related to loan administration, disbursements, sale of Federal-Mogul Corporation Common Stock, or participation in the Brokerage Account. Administrative expenses related to these transactions are paid directly from the corresponding participant’s Plan account.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 method of presentation.

 

3. Party-In-Interest Transactions

 

Fees incurred for legal and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were paid by the Company on behalf of the Plan.

4. Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right, under the Plan document, to terminate the

Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated or partially terminated, the Company shall determine the share of each participant affected thereby and all accounts shall fully vest. The funds shall then be distributed to the member and no portion of the funds shall be returned to the Company.

 

5. Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 8, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

On June 4, 2004, the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) for the Company and the other U.S. and U.K. Debtors was filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan of Reorganization was jointly proposed by the Company, the Unsecured Creditors Committee, the Asbestos Claimants Committee, the Future Asbestos Claimants Representative, the Agent for the Prepetition Bank Lenders and the Equity Security Holders Committee (collectively referred to as the “Plan Proponents”).

 

The Plan of Reorganization provides that asbestos personal injury claimants, both present and future, will be permanently channeled to a trust or series of trusts established pursuant to Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby protecting Federal-Mogul and its affiliates in the Chapter 11 Cases from existing and future asbestos liability. Although certain issues remain to be resolved, the Plan of Reorganization provides that all currently outstanding stock of Federal-Mogul will be cancelled, and 50.1% of newly authorized and issued common stock of reorganized Federal-Mogul will be distributed to the asbestos trusts, and 49.9% of the newly authorized and issued common stock will be distributed pro rata to the noteholders. If the Bankruptcy Court finds that the classes of holders of common stock of Federal-Mogul have voted in favor of the Plan of Reorganization, the holders of currently outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul will receive warrants that may be used to purchase shares of reorganized Federal-Mogul at a predetermined exercise price.
