REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Plan Design 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, 2006 and 2005, 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, 2006 and 2005, 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, 2006 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.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2006 the Plan adopted FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans.

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).

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. Plan net assets, net investment income and gains and losses are not allocated from the Master Trust, but are tracked separately for the Plan by Fidelity.

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. Administrative expenses related to loan administration, disbursements, sale of Common Stock, or participation in the Brokerage Account are paid directly from the corresponding participant’s Plan account.

Investment Options

The Plan provides for 31 investment options which includes the following funds:

 

AMCAP Fund – Class R4    Fidelity Freedom 2030 Fund
Brokerage Account    Fidelity Freedom 2035 Fund
Columbia Acorn Fund – Class Z    Fidelity Freedom 2040 Fund
Dimensional Emerging Markets Fund    Fidelity Freedom Fund
Dodge & Cox Stock Fund    Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund
Dreyfus Mid-Cap Index Fund    Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund
Dreyfus Small Cap Stock Index Fund    Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund
Fidelity Diversified International Fund    PIMCO Foreign Bond Fund
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund    PIMCO Total Return Bond Fund
Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund    Royce Opportunity Fund
Fidelity Freedom 2005 Fund    Spartan International Index Fund

Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund    T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
Fidelity Freedom 2025 Fund    The Oakmark Select Fund
Federal-Mogul Corporation Common Stock (closed to new investments)   

Employees are no longer permitted to make additional investments in Federal-Mogul Corporation Common Stock.

Participant Loans

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.

Basis of Accounting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment contract is considered fully benefit responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure requirements for fully benefit responsive investment contracts in defined contribution health and welfare and pension plans. The financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the FSP are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006 and are required to be applied retroactively to all prior periods presented for comparative purposes. The Plan has adopted the provisions of the FSP at December 31, 2006.

As required by the FSP, investments in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits include fully benefit responsive investment contracts recognized at fair value. AICPA Statement of Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, as amended, requires fully benefit responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plan’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The requirements of the FSP have been applied retroactively to the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2005 presented for comparative purposes. Adoption of the FSP had no effect on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for any period presented as this statement is prepared on a contract value basis.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value except for the Stable Value Fund (benefit-responsive investment contracts), which is valued at contract value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances.

The Stable Value Fund consists of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts of GICs, synthetics and the Managed Income Portfolio II commingled pool (MIP II) .

Investments in the Stable Value Fund are stated at contract value which is equal to principal balance plus accrued interest. As provided in the FSP, an investment contract is generally permitted to be valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive.

The fair value of the GICs is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.

The MIP II, managed by Fidelity Management Trust company, intends to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per unit. The MIP II is valued daily at fair value as determined by the fund manager. Wrap contracts in synthetics and MIP II are fair valued using a discounted cash flow model which considers recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, discount rate and the duration of the underlying portfolio of securities. The dealers may consider the following in the bid process: size of the portfolio, performance of the underlying portfolio, and the fair value to contract value ratio. For purposes of benefit responsive withdrawals, investments in wrap contracts are valued at contract value, which could be more or less than fair value. These investment contracts provide for benefit responsive withdrawals at contract value including those instances when, in connection with wrap contracts, underlying investment securities are sold to fund normal benefit payments prior to the maturity of such contracts.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition (continued)

Underlying debt securities in synthetics and MIP II for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Trustee believes accurately reflects fair value. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Underlying short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at original cost plus accrued interest or at amortized cost, both of which approximate current value. Investments in underlying commingled pools and open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day. The Plan’s MIP II account balance at fair value was calculated by applying the Plan’s percentage of the total book value of the MIP II to the MIP II fair value calculated by Fidelity.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in 2006.

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. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities could occur in the future and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available benefits.

 

6. 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, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

7. Investments in Master Trust (continued)

 

Stable Value Fund

The Stable Value Fund consists of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts of GICs, synthetics and a commingled pool (MIP II). The GIC issuers are contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. The wrap contracts in synthetics and the commingled pool (MIPII) are designed to maintain the contract value of the fund. Wrap contracts accrued interest using a formula called the “crediting rate”. Wrap contracts use the crediting rate formula to convert market value changes in the covered assets into income distributions in order to minimize the difference between the market and contract value of the covered assets over time. Using the crediting rate formula, an estimated future market value is calculated by compounding the fund’s current market value at the fund’s current yield to maturity for a period equal to the fund’s duration. The crediting rate is the discount rate that equates that estimated future market value with the fund’s current contract value. Crediting rates are reset quarterly. The wrap contracts provide a guarantee that the crediting rate will not fall below 0%.

The adjustments from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (Stable Value Fund) are $2,181,924 and $2,382,302 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. The details of the adjustments are as follows:

The Plan’s failure to qualify under Section 401(a) or Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

   

The establishment of a defined contribution plan that competes with the plan for employee contributions.

   

Any substantive modification of the Plan or the administration of the Plan that is not consented to by the wrap issuer.

   

Complete or partial termination of the Plan.

   

Any change in law, regulation or administrative ruling applicable to the Plan that could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s cashflow.

   

Merger or consolidation of the Plan with another plan, the transfer of plan assets to another plan, or the sale, spin-off or merger of a subsidiary or division of the plan sponsor.

   

Any communication given to participants by the plan sponsor or any other plan fiduciary that is designed to induce or influence participants not to invest in the fund or to transfer assets out of the fund.

   

Exclusion of a group of previously eligible employees from eligibility in the plan.

   

Any early retirement program, group termination, group layoff, facility closing, or similar program.

   

Any transfer of assets from the fund directly to a competing option.

At this time, the occurrence of any of these events is not probable.

The GICs do not permit the insurance companies to terminate the agreement at will prior to the scheduled maturity date. Wrap contracts in synthetics and the Pool (MIP II) may be terminated by the wrap issuers at any time. A wrap issuer may terminate a wrap contract if FMTC’s (Fidelity Management Trust Company) investment management authority over the fund is limited or terminated as well as if all of the terms of the wrap contract fail to be met.

Plan of Reorganization

The Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the ‘Plan’) for the Company and the other U.S. and U.K. Debtors was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on November 21, 2006. The Plan was jointly proposed by the Company and the Plan Proponents. On February 2, 2007, the Supplemental Disclosure Statement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court to be used in soliciting votes to accept or reject the Plan from those classes of creditors whose treatment under the Plan has changed since the solicitation under the Third Amended Plan. All such classes of creditors voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Plan. The confirmation hearing regarding the Plan commenced in the Bankruptcy Court on June 18, 2007 and is scheduled to continue on July 9, 2007. In light of the post-trial written briefs required by the Bankruptcy Court, the final oral arguments regarding confirmation of the Plan are scheduled to take place on October 1, 2007.

The Plan 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 the Company and its affiliates in the Chapter 11 Cases from existing and future asbestos liability. The Plan provides that all currently outstanding stock of the Company will be cancelled, 50.1% of newly issued common stock of reorganized Federal-Mogul will be distributed to the asbestos trust, and 49.9% of the newly issued common stock will be distributed pro rata to the noteholders. The holders of currently outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company, at the time those shares are cancelled, will receive warrants that may be used to purchase shares of reorganized Federal-Mogul at a predetermined exercise price. These warrants will only be of value if the market price of the shares of reorganized Federal-Mogul exceeds the predetermined exercise price during the 7-year term during which the warrants will be saleable or exercisable.

8. Differences between Financial Statements and Form 5500

 

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500:

 

     December 31
     2006    2005 *

Net assets available for plan benefits
per the financial statements

   $     268,676,237    $     253,134,942

Minus: Adjustments from fair value to contract value
for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts

     1,052,927      1,151,168
             

Net assets available for plan benefits
per the Form 5500

   $ 267,623,310    $ 251,983,774
             

* In prior years, contract value of Stable Value Fund was included in Line c (11) on Schedule H of Form 5500. Starting in 2006, fair value of Stable Value Fund is reported in Line c (11) on Schedule H of Form 5500 as fair value of the Stable Value Fund becomes available due to the FSP. On Schedule H of the 2006 Form 5500, the beginning balance of net assets available for plan benefits has been adjusted for adjustments from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which is the cumulative effect of this transition for prior years.
