NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited - Dollars In Millions, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Note 1.                  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and are unaudited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown, are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.  The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the BE Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company” or "B/E") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2.                  Business Combinations

The Company completed two acquisitions during the third quarter of 2006.  The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.”  The assets purchased and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Results of operations for the acquisitions are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007.

          Draeger Aerospace GmbH

     In July 2006, the Company acquired Draeger Aerospace GmbH (Draeger) from Cobham PLC of Dorset, England.  The cash purchase price was approximately $79.4.

     Draeger manufactures components and integrated systems to supply chemical and gaseous oxygen systems for both civil and military aircraft.  The integration of Draeger into the Company’s interior systems segment and with the Company’s existing oxygen systems business has broadened the Company’s oxygen systems product line and expanded its customer base.

     The Company completed the allocation of the purchase price for Draeger during 2007.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible assets acquired approximated $65.0 of which $13.7 has been allocated to intangible assets and $51.3 is included in goodwill.  This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

          New York Fasteners Corp.

     In September 2006, the Company acquired New York Fasteners Corp. (New York Fasteners), a privately-held company.  The cash purchase price was approximately $67.3.

     New York Fasteners is a distributor of aerospace fasteners and hardware primarily to the military sector.  The integration of New York Fasteners into the Company’s distribution segment is expected to create procurement and operational synergies and expand the Company’s overall penetration into the military sector.

     The Company completed the allocation of the purchase price for New York Fasteners during 2007.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible assets acquired approximated $48.3 of which $5.5 has been allocated to intangible assets and $42.8 is included in goodwill. This goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

6

    Consolidated proforma revenues, net earnings and net earnings per share giving effect to the Draeger and New York Fasteners acquisitions, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2006, were approximately $301.5, $30.3 and $0.39 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $868.4, $62.8 and $0.81 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Note 3.                 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using FIFO or the weighted average cost method.  Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventories consist of the following:

	September 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
Purchased materials and component parts	$	147.0	$	96.8
Work-in-process		30.1		21.7
Finished goods (primarily aftermarket fasteners)		418.8		302.4
	$	595.9	$	420.9

Note 4.                  Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company has completed the fair value analysis for goodwill and other intangible assets as of December 31, 2006, and concluded that no impairment existed.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company believed that no indicators of impairment existed.  Aggregate amortization expense on identifiable intangible assets was approximately $2.6 and $2.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $8.4 and $7.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The Company expects to report amortization expense of approximately $12 to $13 in each of the next five fiscal years.

Note 5.                  Long-Term Debt

In July 2006 and, as amended and restated on August 24, 2006, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), consisting of a five-year $200.0 revolving credit facility and a six-year $300.0 term loan.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for the ability of the Company to add additional term loan borrowings in the amount of up to $75.0 upon satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including commitments from lenders.

Revolving credit facility borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility would currently bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 125 basis points.  There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility of the Senior Secured Credit Facility at September 30, 2007.  Term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 175 basis points (7.16% at September 30, 2007).

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains an interest coverage ratio (as defined therein) maintenance financial covenant that currently must be maintained at a level greater than 2.25 to 1 through maturity of the term loan.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains a total leverage ratio covenant (as defined therein) which limits net debt to a 4.25 to 1 multiple of EBITDA (as defined therein) through maturity.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions precedent for borrowings, all of which were met as of September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007, long-term debt consisted principally of $150.0 borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.  In April 2007, the Company prepaid $100.0 of term loan borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and, on May 1, 2007, the Company redeemed its $250.0 aggregate principal amount of 8-7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 with the proceeds of the Company’s March 2007 common stock offering.  Debt prepayment costs of $11.0 were recorded during the second quarter of 2007 related to the debt prepayment and redemption.  The Company expects interest expense to decrease by approximately $20.0 during 2007 as a result of this prepayment and redemption.

Note 6.                 Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lease Commitments — The Company finances its use of certain facilities and equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various institutions.  Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  At September 30, 2007, future minimum lease payments under these arrangements totaled approximately $137.3; the majority of which related to the long-term real estate leases.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees — During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions.  These indemnities include non-infringement of patents and intellectual property indemnities to the Company's customers in connection with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of its products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements.  The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases is indefinite.  The Company believes that substantially all of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably determinable.  Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.

Product Warranty Costs– Estimated costs related to product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company's stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company's accrued warranty expense:

	NINE MONTHS ENDED
	September 30,			September 30,
	2007			2006
Beginning balance	$	18.4		$	14.3
Accruals for warranties issued
during the period		13.2			9.6
Settlements made		(12.4	)		(6.7	)
Ending balance	$	19.2		$	17.2

Note 7.                  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began accounting for share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)).  Under SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured on the date of grant, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period.

No compensation cost was recognized for stock options during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 since no options were granted or vested during either period.

    The Company has established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan which allows qualified employees (as defined in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing price at the end of each semi-annual stock purchase period.  Compensation cost for this plan of $0.1 was recognized during each of the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and $0.3 was recognized for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company granted 8,401 and 42,672 shares, respectively, of restricted stock with an average fair market value at the date of grant of $43.09 and $34.96, respectively.  Compensation cost is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period of the shares.  Share-based compensation of $2.5 and $7.4 was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 related to these share grants and restricted shares granted in prior periods.  Share-based compensation of $0.5 and $0.5 was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 related to restricted shares.  Unrecognized compensation expense related to share grants, including the estimated impact of any future forfeiture, was $27.0 at September 30, 2007.

Note 10.                  Comprehensive Earnings

Comprehensive earnings is defined as all changes in a company's net assets except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. It differs from net earnings in that certain items currently recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive earnings.

The following table sets forth the computation of comprehensive earnings for the periods presented:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED					NINE MONTHS ENDED

Comprehensive earnings	$	54.2	$	31.3		$	121.1	$	71.8

Note 11.                 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007.  Upon the adoption, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was $4.9, which was accounted for as a $2.3 increase to accumulated deficit, a $2.3 increase in long term deferred tax assets, and a $0.3 reduction in income taxes payable.  The net amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as a result of the finalization of a tax credit study related to prior periods and other tax planning initiatives, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.6 and $4.1, respectively to $9.0.  It is reasonably possible that the amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s tax expense during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 reflects approximately $5.8 of tax benefits associated with a non-recurring tax planning initiative that was finalized during the third quarter of 2007.

The Company is not currently undergoing any income tax examinations in the U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  With minor exceptions, the Company is currently open to audit by the tax authorities for the tax years ending December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2006.

The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense.  The amount included in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits for interest and penalties as of the date of adoption was under $1.0 and this amount did not materially change as of September 30, 2007.

Note 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157).  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (SFAS 158) which requires the recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of single-employer defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans in the financial statements at a company’s year end and recognition of changes in the funded status through comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur.  SFAS 158 was effective as of December 31, 2006.  The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

11

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159).  SFAS 159 allows companies to measure at fair value most financial assets and liabilities that are currently required to be measured in a different manner, such as based on their carrying amount.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New product development is a strategic initiative for us. Our customers regularly request that we engage in new product development and enhancement activities. We believe that these activities will protect and enhance our leadership position. We believe our investments in research and development over the past several years have been the driving force behind our ongoing market share gains. Research, development and engineering spending have been approximately 7% - 8% of sales for the past several years and are expected to remain at approximately that level for the next year.

We also believe in providing our businesses with the tools required to remain competitive. In that regard, we have invested, and will continue to invest, in property and equipment that enhances our productivity. Over the past three years, annual capital expenditures ranged from $14 - $24. Taking into consideration our record backlog, targeted capacity utilization levels, recent capital expenditure investments and current industry conditions, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $35 over the next twelve months.

14

International airline competition for higher margin international travelers and improving worldwide industry conditions have resulted in strong demand for our products and services, as demonstrated by bookings of approximately $550 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.  At September 30, 2007, backlog was approximately $2.0 billion, which represents an increase of approximately 25%, compared to our backlog at September 30, 2006.  We expect continuing strong demand for the next several years as industry conditions continue to improve.  As worldwide air traffic grows and airlines add capacity and upgrade the cabin interiors of existing active aircraft, we expect our aftermarket activities to continue to grow. According to IATA, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the global airline industry expanded airline capacity by approximately 4.6% in response to an approximately 5.9% increase in global air traffic. In addition, as a result of the severity of the post-September 11, 2001 downturn, many carriers, particularly in the United States, have deferred interior refurbishments for a number of years. The U.S. carriers have just begun the process of upgrading their international fleets and we believe there are substantial additional growth opportunities with domestic airlines for retrofit programs, particularly for the twin-aisle aircraft that service international routes.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007,

AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

(All Dollar Amounts in Millions Except Per Share Data)

The following is a summary of net sales by segment:

	NET SALES
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	($ in millions)
					Percent
	2007		2006		Change
Seating	$	164.7	$	98.8		66.7	%
Interior Systems		89.7		72.4		23.9	%
Distribution		93.3		64.3		45.1	%
Business Jet		47.7		34.7		37.5	%
Engineering Services		32.8		17.7		85.3	%
Total	$	428.2	$	287.9		48.7	%

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $428.2, an increase of $140.3, or 48.7% as compared to the prior year.

The 66.7% increase in revenue at the seating segment reflects significant market share gains and was driven by a substantially higher level of aftermarket, retrofit and refurbishment activity, as well as demand created by new aircraft deliveries.  The interior systems segment revenue growth of 23.9% reflects both higher aftermarket demand as well as the higher level of new aircraft deliveries.

The distribution segment revenue growth of 45.1% reflects a significant expansion in product line, a broad-based increase in aftermarket demand for aerospace fasteners, a channel shift from OEM’s to subcontractors, which tend to acquire fasteners from distributors, and continued market share gains.

Business jet segment revenue increased by $13.0 or 37.5%, reflecting the higher level of new business jet deliveries and higher super first class revenues.  Engineering services segment revenue growth of $15.1 million or 85.3% reflects the higher level of engineering design, program management and certification activities.

Cost of sales for the current period of $281.5, or 65.7% of net sales, increased by $94.4 compared to $187.1, or 65.0% of net sales in the prior year.  The $94.4 increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the 48.7% increase in net sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased by 70 basis points in the current quarter primarily due to the 85.3% increase in engineering services segment revenue and due to product mix and learning curve costs on two programs at the seating segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $48.4, or 11.3% of net sales, as compared to $39.7, or 13.8% of sales in the prior year.  The $8.7 year over year increase reflects the higher level of selling, marketing and product support costs ($2.2), and commissions, compensation and benefits ($3.1) to support the 48.7% increase in revenues and the approximately 25% increase in backlog.  The 250 basis point decline in the selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the operating leverage of our business.

Research, development and engineering expense was $35.1, or 8.2% of net sales, as compared to $22.2, or 7.7% of net sales in the year ago period.  The $12.9 increase in spending was primarily due to a high level of certification efforts related to a number of new products, including products for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Research, development and engineering expenses are expected to moderate over the next several quarters and to decrease significantly as a percentage of sales during 2008.

Operating earnings for the current period were $63.2, or 14.8% of net sales increasing by $24.3 or 62.5% on the 48.7% increase in net sales.  The 14.8% operating margin was 130 basis points higher than the same period last year and primarily was due to a 280 basis point increase in the operating margin for the distribution segment, a 720 basis point increase in the operating margin for the business jet segment and a 60 basis point improvement in the operating margin for the interior systems segment.

16

Interest expense for the period was $3.1.  Interest expense was lower than the prior year as a result of the redemption of our $250 of 8-7/8 % senior subordinated notes due 2011 and the prepayment of $100 of bank term debt during the second quarter of 2007.

Earnings before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $60.1 increased by $47.9, or 392.6%, as compared to the same in the period prior year.  This nearly five-fold increase was the result of the $24.3, or 62.5% increase in operating earnings, a $6.6, or 68% reduction in interest expense following a prepayment of approximately $350.0 of long term debt during 2007, and due to $17.0 prepayment costs in the 2006 period compared to none in the current three month period.

Income taxes were $15.6 or 26.0% of earnings before income taxes for the current quarter and reflected the results of our ongoing tax planning initiatives.  The lower than expected tax expense during the period reflects approximately $5.8 of tax benefits associated with a non-recurring tax planning initiative that was finalized during the third quarter.

We recognized $22.9 of our U.K. deferred tax asset during 2006, resulting in a consolidated tax benefit of ($19.2) for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  As a result, income taxes for the current three month period were $34.8 greater than the same period in the prior year.

Net earnings for the current three month period were $44.5, or $0.48 per diluted share versus net earnings of $31.4, or $0.40 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2006.  The increase in net earnings was the result of the $47.9, or nearly five-fold increase in earnings before income taxes described above, offset by the $34.8 increase in income taxes described above.

The following is a summary of operating earnings by segment:

	OPERATING EARNINGS
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	($ in millions)
					Percent
	2007		2006		Change
Seating	$	18.6	$	11.3		64.6	%
Interior Systems		17.7		13.8		28.3	%
Distribution		21.4		12.9		65.9	%
Business Jet		3.7		0.2		1750.0	%
Engineering Services		1.8		0.7		157.1	%
Total	$	63.2	$	38.9		62.5	%

Operating earnings at the seating segment of $18.6, in the third quarter of 2007 increased by $7.3, or 64.6%, compared with the same period in the prior year.  The seating segment operating margin of 11.3% decreased by 10 basis points compared with the same period in the prior year’s third quarter primarily as a result of poor product mix during the quarter and learning curve costs on two new programs.

Operating earnings at the interior systems segment of $17.7 increased by $3.9, or 28.3% compared with the same period in the prior year.  The interior systems segment operating margin of 19.7% expanded by 60 basis points despite the negative impact of the Draeger acquisition and integration costs related thereto.

Distribution segment operating earnings in the third quarter were $21.4, which was 65.9% greater than the same period last year and represented a 22.9% operating margin. The distribution segment operating margin expanded by 280 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2006 reflecting the now substantially completed integration of the NYF acquisition.

17

During the third quarter, operating earnings at the business jet segment increased by $3.5 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the 37.5% increase in revenue and the 720 basis point improvement in operating margin, which reflects improvements in both manufacturing efficiencies and operating leverage. Operating earnings at the engineering services segment increased by $1.1 compared with the prior year, as this segment continued its transition from a cost center to a profit contributor.

Engineering Services		80.5		49.5		62.6	%
Total	$	1,214.2	$	806.6		50.5	%

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $1,214.2, an increase of $407.6, or 50.5% as compared to the prior year.

The 60.6% increase in revenue for the seating segment reflects significant market share gains and was driven by a substantially higher level of aftermarket, retrofit and refurbishment activity, as well as demand created by new aircraft deliveries.  The interior systems segment revenue growth of 33.4% reflected the higher level of new aircraft deliveries as well as substantial aftermarket revenue growth.  The interior systems segment organic revenue growth rate, presented as if the Draeger acquisition occurred on January 1, 2006, was 21.9%.

The distribution segment revenue growth of 65.6% reflects a significant expansion in product line, a broad-based increase in aftermarket demand for aerospace fasteners, a channel shift from OEM’s to subcontractors, which tend to acquire fasteners from distributors, and continued market share gains.  Organic revenue growth rate for the distribution segment, presented as if the New York Fasteners acquisition occurred on January 1, 2006 was 32.3%.

Business jet segment revenue increased by $27.4 or 25.2%, reflecting the higher level of new business jet deliveries and higher super first class revenues.  Engineering services segment revenue growth of $31.0 or 62.6% reflects the higher level of engineering design, program management and certification activities.

Cost of sales for the current period of $792.6, or 65.3% of net sales, increased by $269.7 compared to $522.9, or 64.8% of net sales in the prior year.  The $269.7 increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the 50.5% increase in net sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased by 50 basis points during the current year period primarily due to the higher level of engineering services segment revenues, which has gross margins which are lower than the corporate average, and due to product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $149.9, or 12.3% of net sales, as compared to $116.1, or 14.4% of sales in the prior year.  The $33.8 year over year increase reflects the higher level of selling, marketing and product support costs ($10.2), and commissions, compensation and benefits ($14.0) to support the 50.5% increase in revenues and the approximately 25% increase in backlog.  The 210 basis point decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the operating leverage of our business.

Research, development and engineering expense was $92.6, or 7.6% of net sales, as compared to $62.3, or 7.7% of net sales in the year ago period.  The $30.3 increase in spending was primarily due to a high level of certification activities related to a number of new products including products for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

The following is a summary of operating earnings by segment:

	OPERATING EARNINGS
	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	($ in millions)
					Percent
	2007		2006		Change
Seating	$	52.3	$	26.8		95.1	%
Interior Systems		47.8		36.1		32.4	%
Distribution		62.9		36.5		72.3	%
Business Jet		12.6		5.8		117.2	%
Engineering Services		3.5		0.1		3400.0	%
Total	$	179.1	$	105.3		70.1	%

Operating earnings for the current period were $179.1 or 14.8% of net sales and increased by $73.8 or 70.1% on the 50.5% increase in net sales.  The 14.8% operating margin was 170 basis points higher than the same period last year and primarily was due to a 200 basis point increase in the operating margin at the seating segment, a 390 basis point increase for the business jet segment and a 20 basis point decrease in the operating margin for the interior systems segment.

Seating segment operating earnings of $52.3 increased by $25.5, or 95.1%, due to both a 60.6% increase in revenue and a 200 basis point expansion in operating margin. Operating earnings at the interior systems segment of $47.8 increased by $11.7, or 32.4%, as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a 33.4% increase in revenue.

Distribution segment operating earnings of $62.9 increased by $26.4, or 72.3%, due to a 65.6% increase in revenue.  Operating margin for the distribution segment (22.0% of sales) was negatively impacted by the acquisition, and integration activities associated with the NYF acquisition.

The business jet segment operating earnings were $12.6, an increase of $6.8, or 117.2%, compared with the prior year reflecting a solid improvement in operating performance.  Operating earnings at the engineering services segment improved by $3.4 due to the increase in revenue and an improved mix of programs.

Interest expense for the period was $17.8.  Interest expense was lower than the prior year as a result of the redemption of our $250 of 8-7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 and the prepayment of $100 of bank term debt during the second quarter of 2007.

Earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $150.3 increased by $91.7, or 156.5%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  This nearly tripling of earnings before income taxes was the result of the $73.8, or 70.1% increase in operating earnings, a $10.1, or 36.2% reduction in interest expense following the prepayment of approximately $350 of long-term debt during 2007, and $18.8 debt prepayment costs in the 2006 period versus $11.0 in the current nine month period.

Income taxes were $45.3 or 30.1% of earnings before income taxes for the current nine month period and reflected the results of our ongoing tax planning initiatives.  The lower than expected tax expense during the period reflects approximately $5.8 of tax benefits associated with a non-recurring tax planning initiative that was finalized during the third quarter.  We recognized U.K. deferred tax asset during 2006, resulting in a consolidated tax benefit of ($5.3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  As a result, income taxes for the current nine month period were $50.6 greater than the same period in the prior year.

Net earnings for the current nine month period were $105.0, or $1.20 per diluted share versus net earnings of $63.9, or $0.82 per diluted share in the 2006 period.  The increase in net earnings was the result of the $91.7, or near tripling of earnings before income taxes described above, offset by the $50.6 increase in income taxes described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Financial Condition

     Our liquidity requirements consist of working capital needs, ongoing capital expenditures and payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness. Our primary requirements for working capital are directly related to the level of our operations.  Working capital at September 30, 2007 was $647.6, an increase of $191.6 as compared with working capital of $456.0 at December 31, 2006. This 42.0% increase in working capital was a result of both the 50.5% increase in net sales and a substantial investment in inventories associated with product line expansion in the distribution segment.  At September 30, 2007, there was $150.0 of term loan borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility, which consists of a $200.0 revolving credit facility and a $300.0 term loan (Senior Secured Credit Facility).  There were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility component of our Senior Secured Credit Facility.  We redeemed the $250.0 aggregate principal amount of 8-7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 in full on May 1, 2007.

Cash Flows

At September 30, 2007, our cash and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility of our Senior Secured Credit Facility was $227.2 compared to $260.5 at December 31, 2006.  Cash used in operating activities was $18.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $21.8 of cash generated from operations in the same period in the prior year.  The primary sources of cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were net earnings of $105.0 and a higher level of accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising from the higher revenue volume.  The primary source of cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $380.6 from the common stock offering in the first quarter.  These sources of cash were offset by the higher level of accounts receivable ($45.9) and inventories ($169.5) discussed above.

Capital Spending

Our capital expenditures were $21.7 and $15.9 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $35 for the next twelve months. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We have, in the past, generally funded our capital expenditures from cash from operations and funds available to us under bank credit facilities. We expect to fund future capital expenditures from cash on hand, from operations and from funds available to us under our senior secured credit facility.

Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

We redeemed $250 aggregate principal amount of 8-7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 in full on May 1, 2007.  In addition, in April 2007, we prepaid $100 of term loan borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

 Long-term debt at September 30, 2007 consisted principally of $150.0 of term loan borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 175 basis points (7.16% at September 30, 2007).  Revolving credit borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, if any, will initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 125 basis points (estimated at 6.5% at September 30, 2007).

Contractual Obligations

    During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 we redeemed our 8-7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011, and our 8-1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2010 and prepaid $100 of term loan borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. The following chart reflects our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30, 2007.  Commercial commitments include lines of credit, guarantees and other potential cash outflows resulting from a contingent event that requires performance by us or our subsidiaries pursuant to a funding commitment.

(1)   Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $9.0 at September 30, 2007 has been omitted from the above table because we cannot determine with certainty when this liability will be settled.  It is reasonably possible that the amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(2)   Occasionally we enter into purchase commitments for production materials and other items, which are reflected in the table above.  We also enter into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal course of operations through purchase orders or other documentation or just with an invoice.  Such obligations are generally outstanding for periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of goods and services and are not reflected in purchase obligations.

(3)   Interest payments include estimated amounts due on the $150.0 outstanding on the term loan of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, based on the actual rate of interest at September 30, 2007.  Actual interest payments will fluctuate based on LIBOR pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

We believe that our cash flows, together with cash on hand and the availability under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, provide us with the ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures and make scheduled debt service payments for at least the next twelve months. However, such cash flows are dependent upon our future operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including the conditions of our markets, some of which are beyond our control. If, in the future, we cannot generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our debt service obligations, we will need to refinance such debt obligations, obtain additional financing or sell assets. We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash from operations or that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources sufficient to satisfy our debt service or other requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lease Arrangements

We finance our use of certain equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various financial institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected in our consolidated balance sheet.  Future minimum lease payments under these arrangements aggregated approximately $137.3 at September 30, 2007.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

During the normal course of business, we made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include non-infringement of patents and intellectual property indemnities to our customers in connection with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of our products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. We believe that substantially all of our indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to our indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

22

Deferred Tax Assets

We maintained a valuation allowance of approximately $15.5 as of September 30, 2007 primarily related to our domestic capital loss carryforwards because of uncertainties that preclude us from determining that it is more likely than not that we will be able to generate sufficient capital gain income and realize the tax benefit during the applicable carryforward period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements, refer to Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described in Note 1 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.  There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2006.

DEPENDENCE UPON CONDITIONS IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, SARS and the onset of the Iraq war severely impacted conditions in the airline industry. According to industry sources, in the aftermath of the attacks most major U.S. and a number of international carriers substantially reduced their flight schedules, parked or retired portions of their fleets, reduced their workforces and implemented other cost reduction initiatives. U.S. airlines further responded by decreasing domestic airfares. As a result of the decline in both traffic and airfares following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and their aftermath, as well as other factors, such as increases in fuel costs and heightened competition from low-cost carriers, the world airline industry lost a total of approximately $41 billion in calendar years 2001 through 2006. The airline industry crisis also caused 22 airlines worldwide to declare bankruptcy or cease operations in the last five years.

As a result of the foregoing through 2006, the domestic U.S. airlines, in large part, have been seeking to conserve cash in part by deferring or eliminating cabin interior refurbishment programs and deferring or canceling aircraft purchases. This, together with the reduction of new business jet production, caused a substantial contraction in our business during the 2001 through 2003 period. Although the global airline industry began to recover in late 2003 and conditions continue to improve, and the business jet industry is improving as well, additional events similar to those described above or other events could cause a deterioration of conditions in our industry or end the current business cycle. The rate at which the business jet industry recovers is dependent on corporate profits, the number of used jets on the market and other factors, which could slow the rate of recovery.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, including statements regarding implementation and expected benefits of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement plans, our dealings with customers and partners, the consolidation of facilities, reduction of our workforce, integration of acquired businesses, ongoing capital expenditures, the impact of the large number of grounded aircraft on demand for our products and our underlying assets, the adequacy of funds to meet our capital requirements, the ability to refinance our indebtedness, if necessary, the reduction of debt, the potential impact of new accounting pronouncements, the impact on our business from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, SARS outbreak and war in Iraq and the impact on our business of the recent increases in passenger traffic and projected increases in passenger traffic and the size of the airline fleet.  These forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, and our actual experience and results may differ materially from that anticipated in such statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as well as future events that may have the effect of reducing our available operating income and cash balances, such as unexpected operating losses, the impact of rising fuel prices on our airline customers, outbreaks in national or international hostilities, terrorist attacks, prolonged health issues which reduce air travel demand (e.g., SARS), delays in, or unexpected costs associated with, the integration of our acquired or recently consolidated businesses, conditions in the airline industry, conditions in the business jet industry, problems meeting customer delivery requirements, our success in winning new or expected refurbishment contracts from customers, capital expenditures, cash expenditures related to possible future acquisitions, facility closures, product transition costs, labor disputes involving us, our significant customers or airframe manufacturers, the possibility of a write-down of intangible assets, delays or inefficiencies in the introduction of new products or fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Except as required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented herein. These statements should be considered only after carefully reading the risk factors and the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and this entire quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates affecting the cost of our variable-rate debt.

Foreign Currency - We have direct operations in Europe that receive revenues from customers primarily in U.S. dollars, and we purchase raw materials and component parts from foreign vendors primarily in British pounds or euros. Accordingly, we are exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. The largest foreign currency exposure results from activity in British pounds and euros.

From time to time, we and our foreign subsidiaries may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to manage risk on transactions conducted in foreign currencies. At September 30, 2007, we had no outstanding forward currency exchange contracts.  In addition, we have not entered into any other derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rates– At September 30, 2007, we had adjustable rate debt totaling $150.0.  We have redeemed $250.0 of the fixed rate debt on May 1, 2007 and prepaid $100.0 of the adjustable rate debt in April, 2007.  The weighted average interest rates for the adjustable rate debt was approximately 7.16% at September 30, 2007.  If interest rates on variable rate debt were to increase by 10% above current rates, our pretax income would decline by approximately $1.1. We do not engage in transactions intended to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates.

As of September 30, 2007, we maintained a portfolio of securities consisting mainly of taxable, interest-bearing deposits with weighted average maturities of less than three months.  If short-term interest rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, we estimate interest income would increase or decrease by approximately $0.2.

24

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of September 30, 2007, of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The purposes of the BE Aerospace, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) are to attract, motivate and retain eligible directors of the Company who elect to participate in this Plan by offering them opportunities to defer compensation and to encourage directors to increase their stock ownership in the Company.  An aggregate number not to exceed 200,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments contemplated by Section 5.6 hereof) may be delivered pursuant to this Plan.

SECTION 4.  DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

4.1           TIME AND TYPES OF ELECTIONS

.  (a)  On or before the December 31 immediately preceding each Year (or, in the case of a person who first becomes an Eligible Director during the Year, within 30 days after becoming an Eligible Director), each Eligible Director may elect to have either a percentage or a specified dollar amount of the cash component and/or a percentage of the Common Stock component of his or her Eligible Compensation for the Year deferred pursuant to this Plan.  In the event that the Eligible Director makes such an election, he also shall make the following two irrevocable elections, subject to Section 4.2 hereof:

(1)           As provided by the Committee and specified on the Eligible Director’s election form, to the extent that the Participant’s Eligible Compensation otherwise would be payable to the Participant in the form of cash, the Participant shall elect (A) to defer such Eligible Compensation in a Stock Unit Account, (B) to defer such Eligible Compensation in a Cash Account, or (C) to select one or more of the preceding deferral or payment methods in accordance with the Applicable Percentage increments set forth in Section 4.2 hereof such that the sum of all such Applicable Percentage increments does not exceed 100%.

(2)           To the extent that the Participant’s Eligible Compensation otherwise would be payable to the Participant in the form of Common Stock, the Participant shall elect (A) to receive such Eligible Compensation in Shares, (B) to defer such Eligible Compensation in a Stock Unit Account, or (C) to select one or more of the preceding deferral or payment methods in accordance with the Applicable Percentage increments set forth in Section 4.2 hereof such that the sum of all such Applicable Percentage increments does not exceed 100%.

4

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, during the Year 2007, an Eligible Director may make a new election with respect to the payment or distribution of amounts or Shares (in respect of Units) in his Account prior to the date of such election.  Pursuant to such election, distribution of amounts or Shares (in respect of Units) in his Accounts shall be made in a lump sum on March 11 of any specified Year after 2007 and prior to 2020 or on the first day of the calendar month after the month in which the Eligible Director incurs a Separation from Service.  An election pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not apply to any amounts or Shares that would be paid or distributed to the Eligible Director within 2007 pursuant to any prior election.  To make an election pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Eligible Director must complete the applicable Election Form and submit such form to the Committee no later than a date specified by the Committee.  In the absence of an election under this Section 4(b), all such amounts and Shares shall be paid or distributed on the first day of the calendar month after the month in which the Eligible Director incurs a Separation from Service unless Section 5.5(c) applies.

4.2           PERMITTED AMOUNTS; ELECTIONS.

  As provided by the Committee and specified in the Eligible Director’s election form, the portions of the Eligible Compensation subject to deferral, if any, or payment in Shares shall be limited to increments of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% (the “Applicable Percentage”).  All elections shall be in writing on forms provided by the Company.  If an election is made under this Section 4 and is not revoked or changed with respect to the following Year by the end of the applicable Year, the election will be deemed a continuing one.

SECTION 5.  DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS

5.1           CASH ACCOUNT.

If an Eligible Director has made a cash election under Section 4.1(a)(1)(B) and the Committee permits deferrals into a Cash Account, the Company shall establish and maintain a Cash Account for the Participant under this Plan, which Account shall be a memorandum account on the books of the Company.  An Eligible Director’s Cash Account shall be credited as follows:

(a)           as of the date the Eligible Compensation would have been otherwise payable, the Company shall credit the Participant’s Cash Account with an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of the Eligible Compensation otherwise payable to the Participant in cash; and

(b)           as of the last day of each calendar quarter, each Participant’s Cash Account shall be credited with the Earnings reasonably determined by the Committee to be allocable to such Account.

5.2           STOCK UNIT ACCOUNT.

(a)           Elective Deferrals.  If an Eligible Director has made a Stock Unit election under Section 4.1(a)(1)(A), the Committee shall, as of the last day of each calendar quarter in which the Eligible Compensation was earned and would otherwise be paid, credit the Participant’s Stock Unit Account with a number of Units determined by dividing an amount which is equal to the Applicable Percentage or dollar amount of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation to be deferred under the Plan by the Average Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the Award Date. If an Eligible Director has made a Stock Unit election under Section 4.1(a)(2)(B), the Committee shall, as of the date on which the Eligible Compensation payable in the form of Common Stock otherwise would have been payable to the Eligible Director, credit to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account a number of Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that otherwise would have been payable to the Eligible Director.

5

(b)           Limitations on Rights Associated with Units.  An Eligible Director’s Stock Unit Account shall be a memorandum account on the books of the Company.  The Units credited to an Eligible Director’s Stock Unit Account shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be eventually distributed to the Participant in accordance with this Plan.  The Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.  No Participant shall be entitled to any voting or other stockholder rights with respect to Units granted or credited under this Plan.  The number of Units credited (and the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under this Plan) shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.6 and the terms of this Plan.

5.3           DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT CREDITS TO STOCK UNIT ACCOUNT

As of the end of each quarter, an Eligible Director’s Stock Unit Account shall be credited with additional Units in an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents representing dividends paid during the quarter on a number of shares equal to the aggregate number of Stock Units in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of the end of the preceding quarter divided by the Average Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the applicable crediting date.

5.4           IMMEDIATE VESTING AND ACCELERATED CREDITING.

(a)           Units and Other Amounts Vest Immediately.  All Units or other amounts credited to one or more of an Eligible Director’s Accounts shall be at all times fully vested and not subject to a risk of forfeiture.

(b)           Acceleration of Crediting of Accounts.  The crediting of cash, Earnings or Units shall be accelerated if an Eligible Director ceases to serve as a director of the Company as a result of a Separation from Service.  In such case, the amount of cash, Earnings, Units or Shares credited for the quarter in which the Separation from Service occurs shall be prorated based on the number of days of service during the applicable quarter.  For these purposes, the Award Date shall be deemed to be the date the Eligible Director incurs a Separation from Service.

5.5           DISTRIBUTION OF CASH OR SHARES.

(a)           Time and Manner of Distribution of Cash Accounts and Stock Unit Accounts.  Effective January 1, 2008, the cash payable in respect of Cash Accounts and the Shares payable in respect of Stock Unit Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, the Participant’s Beneficiary) in a lump sum on the first day of the month after his Separation from Service.  For deferrals with respect to any Year after 2008, the Committee may permit payment in a manner as elected by the Participant and set forth in the Participant’s election form to  participate in the Plan for any Year.  If the Committee so determines, a Participant may elect distributions in one of the following two forms:  (i) a lump-sum distribution, or (ii) up to five annual installments. Each annual installment shall be equal to the value of the Account being distributed multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the number of installments remaining to be paid.  In the event that a Participant fails to make an election, then distribution shall be made in the form of a lump sum.  Each Account, less any applicable withholding taxes, shall be distributed or commence to be distributed on the first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that if at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service the Participant is a Specified Employee, distribution will not commence until the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.  At such time the Participant shall receive a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to all distributions that should have been paid on the original distribution date.

6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after a Separation from Service the balance remaining in an Eligible Director’s Cash Account is less than $10,000 or, if the number of Units remaining in the Participant’s Stock Unit Accounts is less than 1,000 and the value of such Stock Units is less than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, then such remaining balances shall be distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

(b)           Form of Distribution of Cash Accounts or Stock Unit Accounts.  Stock Units credited to an Eligible Director’s Stock Unit Account shall be distributed in an equivalent whole number of shares of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be distributed pursuant to this Plan is 200,000; provided, further that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize the issuance of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to Participants pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) pursuant to  another equity plan maintained by the Company.  Any fractional share interests shall be accumulated and paid in cash with the last distribution.  To the extent there is an insufficient number of shares available for issuance under the Plan with respect to distributions under this Section 5.5(b), distributions shall be made in cash in an amount equal to the number of Units multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock.  All amounts credited to an Eligible Director’s Cash Account shall be distributed in cash.

(c)           Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, lump-sum distributions of the balance of any amounts payable to Participants and their beneficiaries shall be made as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 business days, following a Change in Control (using for valuation purposes the date on which a Change in Control occurs).

5.6           ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK.  If there shall occur any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or other reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, split-up, split-off, spin-off, extraordinary redemption, liquidation or similar corporate change or change in capitalization or any distribution to holders of the Common Stock (other than cash dividends and cash distributions), the Committee shall make such proportionate and equitable adjustments consistent with the effect of such event on stockholders generally (but without duplication of benefits if Dividend Equivalents are credited), as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate, in the number, kind and/or character of shares of Common Stock or other securities, property and/or rights contemplated hereunder, including any appropriate adjustments to the market prices used in the determination of the number of Shares and Units, and in rights in respect of Stock Unit Accounts credited under this Plan so as to preserve the benefits intended.

SECTION 6.  ADMINISTRATION

6.1           THE ADMINISTRATOR.

The Administrator of this Plan shall be the Committee.

6.2           COMMITTEE ACTION.

A member of the Committee shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as a Participant in this Plan.  Action of the Committee with respect to the administration of this Plan shall be taken pursuant to a majority vote or (assuming compliance with Section 6.1) by unanimous written consent of its members. All decisions and determinations shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

6.3           RIGHTS AND DUTIES; DELEGATION AND RELIANCE; DECISIONS BINDING.  Subject to the limitations of this Plan, the Committee shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan and the responsibility for carrying out its provisions, and shall have powers necessary to accomplish those purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the following:

(1)           To construe and interpret this Plan;

(2)           To resolve any questions concerning the amount of benefits payable to a Participant (except that no member of the Committee shall participate in a decision relating solely to his or her own benefits);

(3)           To make all other determinations required by this Plan;

(4)           To maintain all the necessary records for the administration of this Plan; and

(5)           To make and publish forms, rules and procedures for the administration of this Plan.

The determination of the Committee made in good faith as to any disputed question or controversy and the Committee’s determination of benefits payable to Participants, including decisions as to adjustments under Section 5.6, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Plan.  In performing its duties, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements prepared or presented by: (i) officers or employees of the Company whom the Committee believes to be reliable and competent as to such matters; and (ii) counsel (who may be employees of the Company), independent accountants and other persons as to matters which the Committee believes to be within such persons’ professional or expert competence.

8

The Committee shall be fully protected with respect to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith pursuant to the advice of such persons.  The Committee may delegate ministerial, bookkeeping and other non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Company.

SECTION 7.  PLAN CHANGES AND TERMINATION

7.1           AMENDMENTS.

The Board shall have the right to amend this Plan in whole or in part from time to time or may at any time suspend or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that, except as contemplated by Section 5.6, no amendment or termination shall cancel or otherwise adversely affect in any way, without his or her written consent, any Participant’s rights with respect to then outstanding Accounts or Dividend Equivalent credits thereon, so long as the Account is outstanding; provided, further, that any amendment to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to this Plan is subject to any shareholder approval requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations.  Any amendments authorized hereby shall be stated in an instrument in writing, and all Participants shall be bound by upon receipt of notice the amendment.

7.2           TERMINATION.

It is the current expectation of the Company that this Plan shall continue indefinitely.  Continuance of this Plan, however, is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company.  If the Board decides to discontinue or terminate this Plan, it shall notify the Committee and Participants in this Plan of its action in writing, and this Plan shall be terminated at the time set forth on the notice.  All Participants shall be bound thereby.  No benefits shall accrue in respect of Eligible Compensation earned after a discontinuance or termination of this Plan.  In the event of termination of the Plan, payments or distribution hereunder shall be made in accordance with the Plan or if the Board so elects, on a date following the termination of the Plan specified by the Board, but only to the extent that such accelerated payment does not violate Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 8.  MISCELLANEOUS

8.1           UNFUNDED PLAN AND LIMITATION ON PARTICIPANTS’ RIGHTS.

The obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be paid by the Company.  Participants shall have the rights only of general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, on their Cash Accounts, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock (or equivalent value as a general unsecured creditor) with respect to Stock Units.  The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make distributions in the future.  It is intended that this Plan shall constitute an “unfunded” plan for tax purposes.  If the Company purchases any life insurance policies, or makes any other investments, such policies (and any amounts invested by the Company therein) and any other investments of the Company shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be interpreted to grant to any Participant or any Beneficiary, any right, title or interest in any property of the Company.  Participation in this Plan shall not give any person the right to serve as a member of the Board or any rights or interests other than as herein provided.  Participants shall not be entitled to receive actual dividends or to vote Shares until after delivery of a certificate representing the Shares.

9

8.2           BENEFICIARIES.

(a)           Beneficiary Designation.  Upon forms provided by and subject to conditions imposed by the Company, each Participant may designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (as defined in Section 8.2(b)) whom such Participant desires to receive any amounts payable under this Plan after his or her death.  The Company and the Committee may rely on the Participant’s designation of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries last filed in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

(b)           Definition of Beneficiary.  A Participant’s “Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries” shall be the person, persons, trust or trusts (or similar entity) designated by the Participant or, in the absence of a designation, entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive the Participant’s benefits under this Plan in the event of the Participant’s death, and shall mean the Participant’s executor or administrator if no other Beneficiary is identified and able to act under the circumstances.

8.3           BENEFITS NOT TRANSFERABLE; OBLIGATIONS BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS.

Benefits of a Participant under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable and any purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or attachment of any payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest therein, other than by operation of law or pursuant to Section 8.2, shall not be permitted or recognized.  Shares deliverable under this Plan may be subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, unless the Shares are duly registered prior to issuance.  Obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon successors of the Company.

8.4           GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY.

The validity of this Plan or any of its provisions shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under the laws of the State of Florida.  If any provisions of this Plan shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

8.5           COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

This Plan and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or the payment of money through the deferral of compensation under this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law) and to such approvals by any listing, agency or any regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to prior registration or such restrictions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as it may reasonably request to assure such compliance.  If any provision of this Plan would, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Committee, result or likely result in the imposition on a Participant or any other person of a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may modify the terms of the Plan, without the consent of any Participant, in the manner that the Committee may  reasonably and in good faith determine to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such penalty tax; provided, however, that any such reformation shall, to the maximum extent the Committee reasonably and in good faith determines to be possible, retain the economic and tax benefits to the affected Participant hereunder while not materially increasing the cost to the Company of providing such benefits to the Participant.

10

8.6           PLAN CONSTRUCTION

It is the intent of the Company that transactions pursuant to this Plan satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable conditions for exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”) so that to the extent elections are timely made, elective deferrals (including the crediting of Units and Dividend Equivalents and the distribution of Shares hereunder) will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder. The Committee may, subject to Section 8.5 hereof, permit elections by individual directors that would not qualify for exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, so long as the availability of any exemption thereunder for other Directors under this Plan is not compromised.

8.7           HEADINGS NOT PART OF PLAN.

Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.
