EXHIBIT – 99.1 Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006 (Updated to present recasted business segment information)

(i) General. The Stanley Works (‘‘Stanley’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley and incorporated in 1852. Stanley is a diversified worldwide supplier of tools and engineered solutions for professional, industrial and construction and do-it-yourself use and security solutions for commercial applications. Stanley^® is a brand recognized around the world for quality and value.

In 2006, Stanley had net sales of $4.0 billion from continuing operations and employed approximately 17,600 people worldwide. The Company’s principal executive office is located at 1000 Stanley Drive, New Britain, Connecticut 06053 and its telephone number is (860) 225-5111.

(ii) Restructuring Activities. Information regarding the Company’s restructuring activities is incorporated herein by reference to the material captioned ‘‘Restructuring Activities’’ in Item 7 and Note O Restructuring and Asset Impairments of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

Financial information regarding the Company’s business segments is incorporated herein by reference to the material captioned ‘‘Business Segment Results’’ in Item 7 and Note P Business Segments and Geographic Areas of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

The Company’s operations are classified into three business segments: Construction and Do-It-Yourself, Industrial and Security.

The Construction and DIY (‘‘CDIY’’) segment manufactures and markets hand tools, consumer mechanics tools, storage units, pneumatic tools, fasteners and electronic leveling and measuring tools. These products are sold primarily to professional end users and distributed through retailers (including home centers, mass merchants, hardware stores, and retail lumber yards).

Hand tools include measuring and leveling tools, planes, hammers, demolition tools, knives and blades, screwdrivers, saws, chisels, consumer tackers and staples, as well as electronic leveling and measuring devices. The Company markets its hand tools under the Stanley^®, FatMax^®, FatMax^® Xtreme^™, FatMax^®XL^™, Powerlock^® and IntelliTools^™ brands, as well as under certain retailers’ private label brands.

Consumer mechanics tools include wrenches, sockets, metal tool boxes and cabinets which are marketed under the Stanley^® and ZAG^® brands, as well as under certain retailers’ private label brands.

Storage units include plastic tool boxes and storage systems which are marketed under the Stanley^® and ZAG^® brands.

Pneumatic tools and fasteners include Stanley^®, Bostitch^®, and Atro^® fastening tools and fasteners (nails and staples) used for construction, remodeling, furniture making, pallet manufacturing and other applications involving the attachment of wooden materials.

Electronic leveling and measuring tools include laser and optical leveling and measuring devices and accessories utilized primarily by contractors, surveyors, engineers and other professionals and do-it-yourself individuals. These products are marketed under the CST^®, David White^®, and Rolatape^® brands.

The Industrial segment manufactures and markets: professional mechanics tools and storage systems; plumbing, heating, air conditioning and roofing tools; hydraulic tools and accessories; assembly tools

and systems; and Stanley supply and services (specialty tools). These products are sold to customers and distributed primarily through third party distributors as well as through direct sales forces.

Professional mechanics tools and storage include wrenches, sockets, electronic diagnostic tools, tool boxes and high-density industrial storage and retrieval systems. Professional mechanics tools are marketed under the Stanley^®, Proto^®, Facom^®, USAG^®, MAC^®, Jensen^®, Vidmar^® and Blackhawk^™ by Proto^® brands.

Plumbing, heating, air conditioning and roofing tools include pipe wrenches, pliers, press fitting tools, and tubing cutters which are marketed under the Virax^® brand.

Hydraulic tools and accessories include Stanley^® hand-held hydraulic tools and accessories used by contractors, utilities, railroads and public works as well as LaBounty^® mounted demolition hammers and compactors designed to work on skid steer loaders, mini-excavators, backhoes and large excavators.

Assembly tools and systems include electric and pneumatic assembly tools marketed under the Stanley^® brand. These are high performance precision tools, controllers and systems for tightening threaded fasteners used chiefly by vehicle manufacturers.

Stanley supply and services distributes specialty tools for assembling, repairing and testing electronic equipment.

The Security segment is a provider of access and security solutions primarily for retailers, educational, financial and healthcare institutions, as well as commercial, governmental and industrial customers. The Company provides an extensive suite of mechanical and electronic security products and systems, and a variety of security services including security integration systems, software, related installation, maintenance, monitoring services, automatic doors, door closers, exit devices, hardware (includes hinges, gate hardware, cabinet pulls, hooks, braces and shelf brackets) and locking mechanisms. Security products are marketed under the Stanley^®, Blick^®, Frisco Bay^®, PAC^®, ISR^™, WanderGuard^®, StanVision^®, Sargent and Greenleaf^®, National^®, and BEST^® brands and are sold primarily on a direct sales basis as well as, in certain instances, through third party distributors.

The Company competes on the basis of its reputation for product quality, its well-known brands, its commitment to customer service, strong customer relationships, the breadth of its product lines and its emphasis on product innovation.

The Company encounters active competition in all of its businesses from both larger and smaller companies that offer the same or similar products and services or that produce different products appropriate for the same uses. The Company has a large number of competitors; however, aside from a small number of competitors in the consumer hand tool and security hardware businesses who produce a range of products somewhat comparable to the Company’s, the majority of its competitors compete only with respect to one or more individual products or product lines within a particular segment. Certain large customers offer private label brands (‘‘house brands’’) that compete across a wider spectrum of the Company’s product offerings. The Company is one of the largest manufacturers of hand tools in the world, featuring a broader line of products than any other toolmaker. The Company is a significant manufacturer of pneumatic fastening tools and related fasteners to the construction, furniture and pallet industries as well as a leading manufacturer of hand-held hydraulic tools used for heavy construction, railroad, utilities and public works. The Company also believes that it is among the largest direct providers of access security integration services in North America.

Several of the Company’s largest retail customers have elected to compete with the Company by developing house brands and sourcing products (generally from low cost countries).

A substantial portion of the Company’s products are sold to home centers and mass merchants in the U.S. and Europe. In 2006, net sales to The Home Depot were 10% of the Company’s consolidated

sales from continuing operations. A consolidation of retailers both in North America and abroad has occurred over time. While this consolidation and the domestic and international expansion of these large retailers provide the Company with opportunities for growth, the increasing size and importance of individual customers creates a certain degree of exposure to potential volume loss. The loss of the customer referred to above, or the loss of certain of the other larger home centers or mass merchants as customers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company until either such customers were replaced or the Company made the necessary adjustments to compensate for the loss of business.

Despite the trend toward customer consolidation, the Company has been able to maintain a diversified customer base and has decreased the potential customer concentration risk over the past years, as sales from continuing operations in markets outside of the home center and mass merchant distribution channels have grown at a greater rate through a combination of efforts to broaden the customer base, primarily in the Security and Industrial segments. In this regard, sales to the Company’s largest customer as a percentage of the total Company’s sales have decreased from 22% to 10% since 2002.

The Company’s products are manufactured of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals including, but not limited to steel, aluminum, zinc, brass, copper and nickel, as well as resin. Additionally, the Company uses other commodity based materials for components and packaging including, but not limited to, plastics, wood, and other corrugated products. The raw materials required are available from a number of sources at competitive prices and the Company has annual or quarterly spot contracts with many of its key suppliers. Certain commodity prices, particularly energy related and non-ferrous metals are expected to remain volatile in 2007, but the Company does not anticipate difficulties in obtaining supplies for any raw materials used in its production processes.

Due to short order cycles and rapid inventory turnover in most of the Company’s CDIY and Industrial businesses, backlog is generally not considered a significant indicator of future performance. At February 3, 2007, the Company had approximately $347 million in unfilled orders compared with $274 million in unfilled orders at February 5, 2006. All of these orders are reasonably expected to be filled within the current fiscal year. Most customers place orders for immediate shipment and as a result, the Company produces primarily for inventory, rather than to fill specific orders.

No business segment is dependent, to any significant degree, on patents, licenses, franchises or concessions and the loss of these patents, licenses, franchises or concessions would not have a material adverse effect on any of the business segments. The Company owns numerous patents, none of which individually are material to the Company’s operations as a whole. These patents expire at various times over the next 20 years. The Company holds licenses, franchises and concessions, none of which individually or in the aggregate are material to the Company’s operations as a whole. These licenses, franchises and concessions vary in duration, but generally run from one to 20 years.

The Company has numerous trademarks that are used in its businesses worldwide. The STANLEY^® and STANLEY in a notched rectangle design trademarks are material to all three business segments. These well-known trademarks enjoy a reputation for quality and value and are among the world’s most trusted brand names. The Company’s tagline, ‘‘Make Something Great^™’’ is the centerpiece of the brand strategy for all segments. The Bostitch^®, Besco, Powerlock^®, Tape Rule Case Design (Powerlock), FatMax^®, FatMax^®Xtreme^™, FatMax^®XL^™, LaBounty^®, MAC^®, Proto^®, Jensen^®, Vidmar^®, CST^®, Zag^®, Rolatape^®, Blackhawk^™ by Proto^®, Atro^®, Facom^®, Virax^® and USAG^® trademarks are also material to the CDIY and Industrial segments. In the Security segment, the BEST^®, Blick^®, Frisco Bay^®, PAC^®, WanderGuard^®, StanVision^®, Safemasters^®, National^®, Sargent and Greenleaf^®, and ISR^™ trademarks are also material to this segment. The terms of these trademarks vary, typically, from 10 to 20 years, with most trademarks being renewable indefinitely for like terms.

The Company is subject to various environmental laws and regulations in the U.S. and foreign countries where it has operations. Future laws and regulations are expected to be increasingly stringent and will likely increase the Company’s expenditures related to environmental matters.

The Company is a party to a number of proceedings before federal and state regulatory agencies relating to environmental remediation. Additionally, the Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a potentially responsible party (‘‘PRP’’) in a number of administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including fifteen active Superfund sites.

Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future environmental costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with environmental matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

At December 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 17,600 employees, nearly 8,200 of whom were employed in the U.S. Approximately 765 U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements negotiated with 13 different local labor unions who are, in turn, affiliated with approximately 6 different international labor unions. The majority of the Company’s hourly-paid and weekly-paid employees outside the U.S. are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s labor agreements in the U.S. expire in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. There have been no significant interruptions or curtailments of the Company’s operations in recent years due to labor disputes. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

Financial information regarding the Company’s geographic areas is incorporated herein by reference to Note P Business Segments and Geographic Areas of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

The Company’s website is located at http://www.Stanleyworks.com. (This URL is intended to be an inactive textual reference only. It is not intended to be an active hyperlink to our website. The information on our website is not, and is not intended to be, part of this Form 10-K and is not incorporated into this report by reference.) Stanley makes its Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and amendments to each available free of charge on its website as soon as reasonably practicable after filing them with, or furnishing them to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those risks set forth under the heading entitled ‘‘Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995’’, and in other documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, before making any investment decision with respect to its securities. If any of the risks or uncertainties actually occur or develop, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the trading prices of the Company’s securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in the Company’s securities.

Large customer concentration and related customer inventory adjustments may negatively impact sales, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has certain significant customers, particularly home centers and major retailers such as The Home Depot, Lowe’s and Wal-Mart. The Home Depot individually accounted for 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 30, 2006. The loss or material reduction of business from, or the lack of success of sales initiatives for the Company’s products related to, any such significant customer could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, unanticipated inventory adjustments by such customers can have a negative impact on sales. For example, severe inventory adjustments taken by certain large North American home center customers in December 2005 negatively impacted sales by approximately $30 million versus normal levels. While the Company did not experience a significant impact from such customer inventory adjustments in late 2006, they may re-occur in the future.

Customer consolidation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

A substantial portion of the Company’s products in the CDIY and Industrial segments are sold through home centers and mass merchant distribution channels. A consolidation of retailers in both North America and abroad has occurred over time and the increasing size and importance of individual customers creates risk of exposure to potential volume loss. The loss of certain larger home centers as customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business until either such customers were replaced or the Company made the necessary adjustments to compensate for the loss of business.

The Company’s growth and repositioning strategies include acquisitions. The Company’s recent acquisitions may not further its strategies and the Company may not be able to identify suitable future acquisition candidates.

In 2002, the Company embarked on a growth strategy to shift its business portfolio toward favored growth markets through acquisitions and divestitures, and thereby to reduce the risk associated with large customer concentrations. The strategy has been advanced over the last five years with the sales of the Company’s residential entry door and home décor businesses, and the acquisition of a number of companies, including HSM Electronic Protection Services, Inc. (‘‘HSM’’), Facom S.A. (‘‘Facom’’), National Manufacturing Co. (‘‘National’’), Besco Pneumatic Corporation (‘‘Besco’’), Best Lock Corporation and its affiliates (‘‘Best Access’’), Chicago Steel Tape Co. and affiliates (‘‘CST/Berger’’), Blick plc (‘‘Blick’’), Frisco Bay Industries Ltd (‘‘Frisco Bay’’), ISR Solutions, Inc. (‘‘ISR’’), Security Group, Inc. (‘‘Security Group’’) and Precision Hardware, Inc. (‘‘Precision’’).

Although the Company has extensive experience with acquisitions, there can be no assurance that recently acquired companies will be successfully integrated and effectively implement the Company’s growth and repositioning strategy. If the Company successfully integrates the acquired companies and effectively implements its repositioning strategy, there can be no assurance that its resulting business segments will enjoy continued market acceptance or profitability.

In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully identify suitable future acquisition candidates, negotiate appropriate terms, obtain the necessary financing, complete the transactions or successfully integrate the new company as necessary to continue its growth and repositioning strategies.

The Company’s acquisitions may result in certain risks for its business and operations.

The Company has made a number of acquisitions in the past three years, including, but not limited to: HSM in January 2007, Besco in July 2006, Facom in January 2006, National in November 2005, Precision in May 2005, Security Group in January 2005, ISR in December 2004, Frisco Bay in March 2004, as well as CST/Berger and Blick in January 2004. The Company may make additional acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:

Any intangible assets that the Company acquires may have a negative effect on its earnings and return on capital employed. In addition, the success of the Company’s future acquisitions will depend in part on its ability to:

Failure to effectively consummate or manage future acquisitions may adversely affect the Company’s existing businesses and harm its operational results. The Company is still in the process of integrating the businesses and operations of Facom, National, Besco, HSM and other acquisitions with its existing businesses and operations. The Company cannot ensure that such integrations will be successfully completed, or that all of the planned synergies will be realized.

The Company may incur significant additional indebtedness, or issue additional equity securities, in connection with future acquisitions which may restrict the manner in which it conducts business. The potential issuance of such securities may limit the Company’s ability to implement elements of its growth strategy and may have a dilutive effect on earnings.

As more fully described in Item 7 and Note I Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, the Company issued $450 million of Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities through its Trust subsidiary in 2005, the net proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the acquisitions of Facom and National. In addition, the Company has a five year revolving credit agreement, enabling borrowings up to $550 million; this agreement includes provisions that allow designated subsidiaries to borrow up to $250 million in Euros and Pound Sterling, which may be available to, among other things, fund acquisitions.

On January 8, 2007 the Company entered into a new $500 million 364-day bridge facility which was utilized to partially finance the $545 million HSM acquisition on January 16, 2007. The Company intends to permanently refinance this bridge facility in 2007 with a combination of available cash, and the issuance of long-term debt and equity-linked securities.

The instruments and agreements governing certain of the Company’s current indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that include, among other things:

Future new instruments and agreements governing indebtedness may impose other restrictive covenants. Such covenants could restrict the Company in the manner in which it conducts business and operations as well as in the pursuit of its growth and repositioning strategies.

The Company’s brands are important assets of its businesses and violation of its trademark rights by imitators could negatively impact sales and brand reputation.

The Company’s trademarks enjoy a reputation for quality and value and are important to its success and competitive position. Unauthorized imitation of its products or unauthorized use of its trademark rights may not only erode sales of the Company’s products, but may also cause significant damage to its brand name and reputation, its ability to effectively represent the Company to its customers, contractors, suppliers, and/or licensees, as well as divert management time and attention. There can be no assurance that the Company’s on-going effort to protect its brand and trademark rights will prevent all violations. In addition, the laws and enforcement mechanisms of some foreign countries may not allow the Company to protect its proprietary rights to the same extent as it is able to in the United States.

The Company has trademark licensing programs and licensees may not comply with product quality, manufacturing standards, marketing and other requirements.

The Company licenses certain of its trademarks to third parties for manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of various products. While it enters into comprehensive licensing agreements with its licensees covering product design, product quality, sourcing, manufacturing, marketing and other requirements, such licensees may not comply fully with those agreements. Non-compliance could include marketing products under the Company’s brand names that do not meet its quality and other requirements or engaging in manufacturing practices that do not meet the Company’s supplier code of conduct. These activities could harm brand equity, reputation and business.

Successful sales and marketing efforts depend on the Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified employees.

The success of the Company’s efforts to grow its business depends on the contributions and abilities of key executives, its sales force and other personnel, including the ability of its sales force to adapt to any changes made in the sales organization and achieve adequate customer coverage. The Company must therefore continue to recruit, retain and motivate management, sales and other personnel sufficient to maintain its current business and support its projected growth. A shortage of these key employees might jeopardize the Company’s ability to implement its growth strategy.

The Company faces active competition and if it does not compete effectively, its business may suffer.

The Company faces active competition and resulting pricing pressures. The Company’s products compete on the basis of, among other things, its reputation for product quality, its well-known brands, price, innovation and customer service capabilities. The Company competes with both larger and smaller companies that offer the same or similar products and services or that produce different products appropriate for the same uses. These companies are often located in countries such as China, Taiwan and India where labor and other production costs are substantially lower than in the United States, Canada and Western Europe. Also, certain large customers offer private label brands that compete with some of the Company’s product offerings as a lower-cost alternative. To remain profitable and defend market share, the Company must maintain a competitive cost structure, develop new products and services, respond to competitor innovations and enhance its existing products in a timely manner. The Company may not be able to compete effectively on all of these fronts and with all of its competitors, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on its sales and profit margins.

The Stanley Fulfillment System (‘‘SFS’’) is a continuous operational improvement process applied to many aspects of the Company’s business such as procurement, quality in manufacturing, maximizing customer fill rates, integrating acquisitions and other key businesses processes. In the event the Company is not successful in effectively applying the SFS disciplines to its key business processes its ability to compete and future earnings could be adversely affected.

In addition, the Company may have to reduce prices on its products and services, or make other concessions, to stay competitive and retain market share. The Company engages in restructuring actions, sometimes entailing shifts of production to low cost countries, as part of its efforts to maintain a competitive cost structure. If the Company does not execute restructuring actions well, its ability to meet customer demand may decline, or earnings may otherwise be adversely impacted; similarly if such efforts to reform the cost structure are delayed relative to competitors or other market factors the Company may lose market share and profits.

The Company’s results of operations could be negatively impacted by inflation in the cost of raw materials, freight and energy.

The Company’s products are manufactured of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including but not limited to steel, aluminum, zinc, brass, nickel and copper, as well as resin. Additionally, the Company uses other commodity based materials for components and packaging including, but not limited to: plastics, wood, and other corrugated products. As described in more detail in Item 7 hereto, the Company has been negatively impacted by commodity and freight inflation in recent years and it expects energy and certain commodity prices, particularly non-ferrous metals, to increase. If the Company is unable to mitigate these inflation increases through various customer pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives, its profitability may be adversely affected.

Ultimate income tax payments may differ from amounts currently recorded by the Company. Future tax law changes may materially increase the Company’s prospective income tax expense.

The Company is subject to income taxation in the United States as well as numerous foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the Company’s worldwide income tax provision and accordingly there are many transactions and computations for which the final income tax determination is uncertain. The Company is routinely audited by income tax authorities in many tax jurisdictions. Although management believes the recorded tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate outcome from any audit (or related litigation) could be materially different from amounts reflected in the Company’s income tax provisions and accruals. Future settlements of income tax audits may have a material effect on earnings between the period of initial recognition of tax estimates in the financial statements and the point of ultimate tax audit settlement. Additionally, it is possible that future income tax legislation may be enacted that could have a material impact on the Company’s worldwide income tax provision beginning with the period that such legislation becomes effective.

The Company’s failure to continue to successfully manage, defend, litigate and accrue for claims and litigation could negatively impact its results of operations or cash flows.

As described in further detail in Items 1 and 3 and Note S Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters arising out of the ordinary routine conduct of its business, including, from time to time, litigation relating to such items as commercial transactions, product liability, workers compensation, the Company’s distributors, intellectual property claims, regulatory actions and environmental matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to successfully manage and defend such matters. In addition, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures, actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the Company’s estimates for such contingent liabilities.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation which could negatively impact profitability.

Exposure to foreign currency risk results because the Company, through its global operations, enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies. The Company’s

predominant exposures are in European, Canadian and Asian currencies, including the Chinese Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’). In preparing its financial statements, for foreign operations with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates, and income and expenses are translated using weighted average exchange rates. With respect to the effects on translated earnings, if the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to local currencies, the Company’s earnings could be negatively impacted. Although the Company utilizes risk management tools, including hedging, as it deems appropriate, to mitigate a portion of potential market fluctuations in foreign currencies, there can be no assurance that such measures will result in cost savings or that all market fluctuation exposure will be eliminated. The Company does not make a practice of hedging its non U.S. Dollar earnings.

In addition, on July 21, 2005, China announced it will let the RMB fluctuate within a very tight band (+/− .3% around weighted average prior day close) thereby effectively adopting a managed float and ending its decade-old valuation de facto peg to the U.S. dollar. The Company sources significant products from China and other Asian low cost countries for resale in other regions. To the extent the RMB or these other currencies appreciate with respect to the U.S. dollar, the Company may experience cost increases on such purchases. While the present 3% appreciation of the RMB should not generate material cost increases for RMB denominated purchases, further appreciation of this or other currencies utilized for procurement could adversely affect profitability. The Company may not be successful at implementing customer pricing or other actions in an effort to mitigate the related cost increases.

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with sourcing and manufacturing overseas.

The Company imports large quantities of finished goods, components and raw materials. Substantially all of its import operations are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements or bilateral actions. In addition, the countries in which the Company’s products and materials are manufactured or imported from may from time to time impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions on its imports or adversely modify existing restrictions. Imports are also subject to unpredictable foreign currency variation which may increase the Company’s cost of goods sold. Adverse changes in these import costs and restrictions, or the Company’s suppliers’ failure to comply with customs regulations or similar laws, could harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s operations are also subject to the effects of international trade agreements and regulations such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the activities and regulations of the World Trade Organization. Although these trade agreements generally have positive effects on trade liberalization, sourcing flexibility and cost of goods by reducing or eliminating the duties and/or quotas assessed on products manufactured in a particular country, trade agreements can also impose requirements that adversely affect the Company’s business, such as setting quotas on products that may be imported from a particular country into key markets such as the U.S. or the European Union.

The Company’s ability to import products in a timely and cost-effective manner may also be affected by conditions at ports or issues that otherwise affect transportation and warehousing providers, such as port and shipping capacity, labor disputes, severe weather or increased homeland security requirements in the U.S. and other countries. These issues could delay importation of products or require the Company to locate alternative ports or warehousing providers to avoid disruption to customers. These alternatives may not be available on short notice or could result in higher transit costs, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

If the Company were required to write down all or part of its goodwill, indefinite-lived tradenames, or other definite-lived intangible assets, its net income and net worth could be materially adversely affected.

As a result of acquisitions, the Company has $1.1 billion of goodwill, $298 million of indefinite-lived tradenames, and $223 million of definite-lived intangible assets recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 30, 2006. The Company is required to periodically, at least annually, determine if its goodwill or indefinite-lived tradenames have become impaired, in which case it would write down the impaired portion of the intangible asset. The definite-lived intangible assets, including customer

relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives; such assets are also evaluated for impairment when appropriate. Impairment of intangible assets may be triggered by developments outside the Company’s control, such as technological change, intensified competition or other matters causing a decline in expected future cash flows. If the Company were required to write down all or part of its goodwill, indefinite-lived tradenames, or other definite-lived intangible assets, its net income and net worth could be materially adversely affected.

If the investments in employee benefit plans do not perform as expected, the Company may have to contribute additional amounts to these plans, which would otherwise be available to cover operating and other expenses. Certain U.S. employee benefit plan expense is affected by the market value of the Company’s common stock.

As described in further detail in Note M Employee Benefit Plans of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, the Company sponsors pension and other post retirement defined benefit plans, as well as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (‘‘ESOP’’) under which the primary U.S. defined contribution and 401(k) plans are funded. The Company’s defined benefit plan assets are currently invested in equity securities, bonds and other fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute amounts determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits in accordance with applicable law which require, among other things, that the Company make cash contributions to under funded pension plans. The Company expects to contribute approximately $13 million to its pension and other post retirement defined benefit plans in 2007.

There can be no assurance that the value of the plan assets, or the investment returns on those plan assets, will be sufficient in the future. It is therefore possible that the Company may be required to make significant additional cash contributions to the plans which would reduce the cash available for other business purposes, or that the Company will have to recognize a significant pension liability adjustment which would decrease the net assets of the Company.

Overall ESOP expense is affected by the market value of Stanley stock on the monthly dates when shares are released, among other factors. Net ESOP expense amounted to $2 million in each of the years 2006, 2005 and 2004. While the average market value of shares released increased from $43.20 in 2004 to $49.28 in 2006, other elements of ESOP expense, including a gradual reduction in the number of shares released annually from the trust, offset the favorable impact of the higher share price. ESOP expense could increase in the future if the market value of the Company’s common stock declines.

The Company provides a 5% guaranteed rate of return on participant contributions made to the tax deferred 401(K) savings plan prior to July 1998 when all contributions were invested in Stanley common stock. The value of the shares purchased by participants prior to July 1998 along with the 5% cumulative guaranteed rate of return on Stanley common stock is known as an Investment Protection Account (‘‘IPA’’). Beginning in July 1998 the investment options for plan participant contributions were enhanced to include a variety of investment funds in addition to the Company’s common stock, and there is no guaranteed rate of return to participants on any contributions made after that time. The IPA guarantee is included in the actuarial valuation of the ongoing U.S. pension plan. Payments related to the IPA guarantees, if they have any value, would be made to participants over a period of many years generally as they retire. In the event the market value of Stanley common stock declines below $43.59 (which is the stock price at which there was a settlement of this liability) additional costs may be triggered by the IPA benefit guarantee.

As of December 30, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries owned or leased material facilities (facilities over 50,000 square feet) for manufacturing, distribution and sales offices in 17 states and 13 foreign countries. The Company believes that its material facilities are suitable and adequate for its business.

The financial and business analysis below provides information which the Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This financial and business analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The following discussion and certain other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain statements reflecting the Company’s views about its future performance that constitute ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which the Company operates and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Any statements contained herein (including without limitation statements to the effect that The Stanley Works or its management ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘plans’’ and similar expressions) that are not statements of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth, or incorporated by reference, below under the heading ‘‘Cautionary Statements’’. The Company does not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company is a diversified worldwide supplier of tools and engineered solutions for professional, industrial, construction, and do-it-yourself use, as well as engineered solutions and security solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Its operations are classified into three business segments: Construction & DIY (‘‘CDIY’’), Industrial and Security. The CDIY segment manufactures and markets hand tools, storage systems, fastening systems and laser leveling and measuring tools, as these products are principally utilized in construction and do-it-yourself projects. These products are sold primarily to professional end users and distributed through retailers (including home centers, mass merchants, hardware stores, and retail lumber yards). The Industrial segment manufactures and markets professional mechanics and hand tools, storage systems, assembly tools and systems, and hydraulic tools. These products are sold to industrial customers and distributed primarily through third party distributors as well as direct sales forces. The Security segment is a provider of access and security solutions primarily for retailers, educational, financial and healthcare institutions, as well as commercial, governmental and industrial customers. The Company provides an extensive suite of mechanical and convergent security products and systems, and a variety of security services including commercial security monitoring services, electronic integration systems, software, related installation and maintenance services, automatic doors, door closers, exit devices, hardware and locking mechanisms.

For several years, the Company has focused on a profitable growth strategy and begun to transform itself from a mature 160 year old ‘‘American tool company’’, to an innovative, multi-national, diversified, industrial growth business. This strategy has included approximately $2 billion of acquisitions since the beginning of 2002, several key divestitures, the reduction of risk associated with certain large customer concentrations and increased brand investments. Additionally, the strategy reflects management’s vision to build a growth platform in security while expanding the valuable branded tools platform. Over the past several years, the Company has generated strong free cash flow and received substantial proceeds from divestitures that were utilized to invest in the transformation of the business portfolio.

Free cash flow, as defined in the following table, was $359 million in 2006, $294 million in 2005, and $317 million in 2004, considerably exceeding net earnings from continuing operations. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and provide a dividend to shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions.

The Company strives to reinvest its free cash flow in high return businesses in order to generate strong return on assets and improve working capital efficiency. Significant areas of tactical emphasis related to execution of this strategy and its ability to generate free cash flow, as well as events impacting the Company’s financial performance in 2006 and 2005, are discussed below.

The Company further advanced its strategy of becoming a global market leader in the commercial security industry. Annual revenues of the Security segment have grown to $1.157 billion, or 29% of 2006 sales, up from $216 million, or 10% of 2001 sales. Key events pertaining to the growth of this segment in the past two years include the following:

The above acquisitions complement the existing Security segment’s product offering, increase its scale and strengthen the value proposition offered to end user customers as industry dynamics favor multi-solution providers that offer ‘‘one-stop shopping’’ capabilities. The Company continues to focus on integrating the acquired businesses as it expands the suite of its security product and service offerings. In 2006 and 2005, various process improvement initiatives were initiated including integration of overlapping field service organizations and implementation of certain common back office systems. These integration efforts will continue for the next two years.

While diversifying the business portfolio through expansion into Security is important, management also recognizes that the branded consumer products and industrial tools businesses are the foundations on which the Company was established and provide strong growth and cash flow generation prospects. While these businesses are strong and profitable today, management is committed to growing these businesses through innovative product development, brand support and relentless focus on global cost competitiveness in order to maintain vitality over the long term. Acquisition-related growth will also be pursued where appropriate. The following matters affected these businesses:

Facom is profitable and has experienced a long history of success in professional markets in Europe, especially in France and Italy. Nonetheless, many of its products are subject to competitive forces that will likely require a significant reformation of its cost structure and that of existing Stanley Europe. Management is committed to performing such a reformation in order to ensure the long-term competitiveness and preservation of the Facom and Stanley tool franchises in Europe. During 2006, the Company completed a consultation process with

its European Works Council regarding the reorganization of its Facom and Stanley hand tools activities in Europe (these ‘‘Initiatives’’). These initiatives will, among other things, implement growth strategies and reduce costs by rationalizing manufacturing, logistics, sales and support organizations. It will result in the severance of approximately 580 employees, the closure of two legacy Facom factories in France and four legacy Facom distribution centers located in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. The Company estimates approximately $75 million in cash expenditures will be incurred for these Initiatives, the majority of which has been recorded in the Facom purchase price allocation. These Initiatives commenced during the latter half of 2006 and implementation will continue throughout 2007.

The Stanley^® brand is recognized as one of the world’s great brands and is one of the Company’s most valuable assets. Brand support was increased during 2006, 2005 and 2004, including television advertising campaigns associated with new product roll-outs, continued NASCAR racing sponsorships as well as more print and web-based advertising that generated approximately one billion brand impressions annually. These advertising and marketing campaigns yielded strong results as evidenced by various hand tools metrics during 2006: web traffic increase of 31%; sales lead increase of 9%; brand awareness increase of 30% and intent to buy increase of 30% versus 2005.

The Company continued to practice the operating disciplines specified by the Stanley Fulfillment System (‘‘SFS’’), which is a continuous operational improvement process committed to increasing customer and shareowner value. SFS’s core disciplines consist of striving to achieve perfect quality, service excellence, optimal cost, and environmental health & safety. The Company applies SFS to many aspects of its business including procurement, maximizing customer fill rates, acquisition integration, and other key business processes. The SFS program helped to mitigate the impact of material price inflation that was experienced in recent years. In 2007, the Company plans to expand its efforts to leverage SFS across the enterprise with the intent of increasing working capital turns, decreasing cycle times, and increasing customer satisfaction.

Aside from the strategic commentary above, four other matters having a significant impact on the Company’s results were inflation, currency exchange rate fluctuations, share repurchase and stock option expensing.

The Company has been negatively impacted by inflation, primarily commodity and freight, which has increased costs by approximately $85 million over the past two years. During this period, the Company has recovered approximately 68% of the cost increase through pricing actions, and largely offset the remainder through various cost reduction initiatives. The Company expects the negative impact of inflation during 2007 will be in the range of $60 – $65 million, and plans to recover more than two-thirds of this impact through pricing, and offset the remainder through productivity actions.

In recent years, the strengthening of foreign currencies had a favorable impact on the translation of foreign currency-denominated operating results into U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, including acquired companies, contributed $0.04 and $0.12 of

diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in 2005 and 2004, and had no effect on 2006 earnings per share. This impact was principally from the Canadian dollar and Asian currencies in 2005 and European currencies in 2004. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may have a significant impact on future earnings, either positive or negative.

During 2006, the Company repurchased 4 million outstanding shares of its common stock for $200 million. This stock repurchase program was accretive to diluted earnings per share by approximately 13 cents in 2006. This was partially offset by the issuance of 2.1 million shares of common stock under various employee plans.

In 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations based on their fair values as they are earned by the employees under the vesting terms. Pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized $9 million of non-cash, pre-tax stock option compensation expense in 2006, which negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by 7 cents compared to the corresponding 2005 period. Refer to Note A Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Below is a summary of the Company’s operating results at the consolidated level, followed by an overview of business segment performance. The terms ‘‘organic’’ and ‘‘core’’ are utilized to describe results aside from the significant impact of acquisitions and do not include their results of operations until they have reached their respective one year anniversary dates. This ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.

Net Sales: Net sales from continuing operations were $4.019 billion in 2006, as compared to $3.285 billion in 2005, a 22% increase. Acquisitions contributed 21% or $689 million of the sales increase. Organic sales increased 1% driven by a slight increase in volume and relatively consistent pricing levels and foreign currency impact compared to the prior year. The organic increase was generated by share gains achieved in the consumer hand tools and automatic doors businesses offset by price and volume declines experienced in the fastening systems business. Favorable foreign currency translation in the Americas and Europe was partially offset by a negative impact from Asia.

Net sales from continuing operations were $3.285 billion in 2005, as compared to $2.997 billion in 2004, a 10% increase. Acquisitions contributed 6% or $167 million of the sales increase. Organic sales increased 4% driven by 2% volume growth, 1% favorable foreign currency and a 1% positive pricing impact. The organic volume growth was attributed to strong demand based on successful consumer hand tool and garage storage new product introductions, as well as increases in several other businesses, principally industrial mechanics tools, hydraulic tools, leveling / measuring tools and fastening systems. Favorable foreign currency translation in Canada and Asia increased net sales by 1%.

Gross Profit: The Company reported gross profit from continuing operations of $1.459 billion, or 36% of net sales, in 2006, compared to $1.181 billion, or 36% of net sales, in the prior year. The acquired businesses increased gross profit by $265 million. Included in the 2006 gross profit is the unfavorable impact of $22 million in non-cash inventory step-up charges related to the initial turnover of acquired inventory. Gross profit for 2006 was 37% of net sales excluding this non-recurring item, primarily due to the positive impact of the Facom acquisition. Core gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 36% in 2006, which was consistent with the prior year. The benefits of prior cost reduction actions, productivity improvements from the Stanley Fulfillment System, and pricing actions offset continued margin pressure from commodity and other inflation which resulted in approximately $48 million of additional costs, and a decline in fastening systems. The Company expects inflation to increase 2007 costs by approximately $60 – $65 million, which management plans to mitigate through various customer pricing actions and continued cost reduction and productivity initiatives. The fastening systems’ gross profit decline reflected lower sales volumes, a result of weakening housing

markets and price erosion, as well as a commitment to shed unprofitable business; gross profit in this business was further impacted by commodity cost inflation. Management launched an extensive cost reduction initiative with the objective to return fastening systems’ to acceptable profitability over a two year period.

The Company reported gross profit from continuing operations of $1.181 billion, or 36% of net sales, in 2005, compared to $1.104 billion, or 37% of net sales, in the prior year. Acquisitions increased gross profit by $52 million. The remaining $25 million improvement was primarily attributed to the increase in organic sales volume and continued benefits of the Stanley Fulfillment System. As a percentage of sales, the year over year gross margin rate decline primarily stems from unfavorable mix and cost absorption in the fastening business, and to a lesser extent the impact of recently acquired businesses which possess lower gross margin percentages until integration synergies are realized. During 2005, there was carryover of commodity inflation from 2004 which resulted in approximately $40 million of additional costs that were mostly recovered through favorable pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives.

SG&A expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $955 million, or 24% of net sales, in 2006, compared to $737 million, or 22% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase of $218 million primarily relates to acquired businesses that increased costs by $192 million, $11 million of increased non-cash stock compensation expense principally associated with the adoption of stock option expensing during 2006, and $11 million of increased brand support. Excluding acquisitions, SG&A as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 23% of net sales compared with 22% in 2005 due to the items described above, partially offset by benefits received from prior restructuring actions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $737 million, or 22% of net sales, in 2005, compared to $691 million, or 23% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase of $46 million mainly pertains to acquired businesses that increased costs by $34 million, and $14 million of increased brand support. Excluding acquisitions, SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased 50 basis points compared with 2004 levels despite the higher brand support expense due to sales volume leverage, lower Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and effective cost controls.

Interest and Other-net: Net interest expense from continuing operations in 2006 was $65 million, compared to $34 million in 2005. The increase was mainly due to the November 2005 issuance of $450 million in junior subordinated debt securities to fund acquisitions, and to a lesser extent increased commercial paper borrowings resulting primarily from the execution of the $200 million share repurchase program in the first half of 2006, along with higher applicable short-term interest rates. Interest expense will increase in 2007 due to borrowings associated with the January 2007 acquisition of HSM for $545 million; the earlier discussed net earnings expectations for HSM contemplate the interest costs related to financing the acquisition.

Net interest expense from continuing operations in 2005 was $34 million, consistent with 2004 levels. Interest expense was held fairly constant in a period of rising interest rates through the maintenance of overall lower debt levels during most of 2005 and application of effective hedging strategies.

Other-net from continuing operations represented $57 million of expense in 2006 compared to $48 million of expense in 2005. The increase was primarily driven by $9 million of higher intangible asset amortization expense associated with acquisition activity, a $4 million pension plan curtailment charge in the U.K., and a $5 million increase in foreign currency losses, partially offset by lower environmental expense and decreased losses on the sale of fixed assets.

Other-net from continuing operations represented $48 million of expense in 2005, an increase of $2 million over 2004. The slight increase was primarily driven by $6 million of higher intangible asset amortization associated with acquisition activity partially offset by lower foreign currency losses.

Income Taxes: The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for 2006 was 21% as compared to 24% for 2005 and 27% for 2004.

The lower effective tax rate in the current year compared to 2005 is driven by the realization of credits against U.S. taxes and the inclusion of the European-based Facom acquisition. Additionally,

substantial costs were incurred in 2005 for the repatriation of foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act and such costs were not incurred in 2006. It is anticipated the 2007 effective tax rate will increase to within a 25% to 27% range, in part because certain credits affecting the 2006 and 2005 tax rate will not re-occur.

The decrease in the effective income tax rate in 2005 compared to 2004 reflects a higher proportion of taxable income in countries with lower statutory rates, as well as the recording of a $5 million tax benefit pertaining to the execution of tax planning strategies enabling the reduction of a previously provided valuation allowance on future utilization of certain prior year European net operating losses. Also, a $17 million tax benefit was recorded arising from the final settlement of various tax contingencies based on the resolution of income tax audits in 2005. In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the ‘‘Act’’) was signed into law. The Act created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate foreign earnings by providing an 85 percent deduction for certain dividends received from controlled foreign corporations. During 2005, the Company repatriated $250 million in foreign earnings and recorded $16 million of tax expense pertaining to the repatriation.

Discontinued Operations: Net loss from discontinued operations of $1 million in 2006 primarily relates to the previous operating results and loss from the sale of the U.K. paint decorator tool business in March 2006. In 2005, the Company announced the planned sale of two small businesses: the U.K. paint decorator tool business and a small appliance hinge business. The operations of these two held for sale businesses, along with the resolution of tax and other matters associated with the 2004 divestitures, resulted in a net loss from discontinued operations of $2 million in 2005. Net earnings from discontinued operations were $130 million in 2004, reflecting a $95 million net gain on the March 2004 sale of the residential entry door business, a $24 million net gain on the December 2004 divestiture of the home décor business, a $4 million net loss on the sale of a small German paint roller business, as well as the operating results of these discontinued operations.

The Company’s reportable segments are an aggregation of businesses that have similar products and services, among other factors. The Company utilizes segment profit (which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales, and SG&A aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit excludes the corporate overhead expense element of SG&A, interest income, interest expense, other-net (inclusive of intangible asset amortization expense), restructuring and asset impairments, and income tax expense. Corporate overhead is comprised of world headquarters facility expense, cost for the executive management team and for certain centralized functions that benefit the entire Company, but are not directly attributable to the businesses such as legal and corporate finance functions. Refer to Note O Restructuring and Asset Impairments and Note G Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount of restructuring charges and asset impairments, and intangibles amortization expense, respectively, attributable to each segment. As discussed previously, the Company’s operations are classified into three business segments: Construction and Do-It-Yourself (‘‘CDIY’’), Industrial, and Security.

Net sales from continuing operations of CDIY increased 3% in 2006 compared to 2005. Of this increase, acquisitions accounted for 3%, while organic volume decreased by 1% and price remained flat. Foreign currency increased sales by 1%. The consumer hand tool business continued to achieve share gains from the strong performance of the new FatMax^®Xtreme^™ and FatMax^®XL^™ product lines which launched in the U.S. and European markets, representing the largest new hand tools product introduction in the Company’s history. At the same time, the FatMax^® range of product offerings

delivered growth though continued premium innovation, distribution point expansion and related brand support. This strong favorable performance was more than offset by lower volumes in the fastening, consumer storage and mechanics tools businesses. Fastening systems organic sales declined 7% compared to the prior year stemming from weakness in the U.S. construction market and management’s commitment to turn down unprofitable business.

The prior year sales in the consumer storage business reflected higher volume from the initial launch of garage storage products. The 30 basis point decline in segment profit is primarily due to the sales volume decline and cost inefficiencies experienced by the U.S. fastening systems business, increased brand support, and commodity cost inflation, partially offset by savings derived from prior cost reduction actions and favorable mix in the consumer hand tools business. Management is committed to restoring the fastening systems business’ long-term cost competitiveness by continuing the migration of production to Asia, reducing the overall SG&A and manufacturing footprint, as well as SKU rationalization. Additionally, the acquisition of Asian-based Besco and the opening of a new manufacturing facility in China during 2006 will strategically aid the fastening systems business’ long term vitality.

CDIY net sales from continuing operations in 2005 represented a 7% increase over 2004. Of this 7% increase, acquisitions contributed 1%, organic volume increased 4%, favorable pricing increased 1%, while the effect of currency contributed to the remaining 1% increase. The favorable performance was driven by strength in the hand tools, laser leveling tools and consumer storage businesses associated with successful new product introductions and to a lesser extent fastening systems. Solid organic sales growth was achieved in the consumer hand tools and consumer storage businesses despite an unanticipated inventory correction by certain large North American customers in December 2005 which negatively impacted sales by approximately $30 million versus normal levels. Laser leveling tools continued to increase its market share in the U.S. and European professional markets due to new product offerings. Although demand began to slow during the latter half of 2005, fastening systems achieved moderate sales growth during 2005 based on demand from the U.S. construction and industrial channels along with the success of innovative nail products. Segment profit improved 40 basis points primarily due to leverage associated with the increase in sales volume offset by increased freight costs, as well as unfavorable mix and cost absorption in fastening systems where manufacturing volume was lower in 2005 compared to 2004 on improved inventory management.

Industrial’s net sales increased 67% in 2006 compared to 2005, primarily driven by the Facom acquisition, which increased sales by $436 million or 64%. Favorable pricing actions contributed 2%, while volume increased sales 1% with foreign currency remaining flat compared to the prior year. Share gains were achieved in the Mac Tools, Facom, hydraulic tools, industrial tools and storage businesses. Mac Tools’ continues to benefit from improved retention of its distributors based on management actions initiated early in the year. Industrial tools and storage and the hydraulic tools businesses obtained share gains from the success of new product introductions in the oil and mining industries as demand for such commodities remained strong during 2006. Segment profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by 90 basis points due to $13 million of non-cash inventory step-up amortization associated with the Facom acquisition, supply chain inefficiencies in certain businesses due to increased backlog, partially offset by the accretive impact of Facom.

Industrial’s net sales increased 2% in 2005 from 2004 due to favorable price impact. Sales volume and currency remained flat compared to 2004. Strong demand was experienced in the industrial mechanics tools, hydraulic tools and storage businesses’ end markets, partially offset by declines in the Mac Tools and assembly technologies businesses. Industrial mechanics tools’ increase in volume was driven by

share gains achieved from new product introductions and improved customer service. Hydraulic tools also benefited from new product introductions as well as higher product demand associated with the steel scrap market which was driven by the strong global demand for steel. The storage business increase in volume was driven by the successful launch of a vertical lift module automated storage and retrieval system as well as strong demand experienced in the industrial, heavy truck, and automotive dealership markets. Assembly technologies was affected by weakness in the U.S. auto industry, as the ‘‘Big 3’’ automakers continued to reduce capital expenditures in conjunction with other cost reduction initiatives. Mac Tools sales fell due to a decline in the number of distributors in 2005 compared to 2004 as dealer attrition outpaced recruiting efforts. However, the average sales per Mac Tools’ distributor was up 4% versus 2004 and operating margin improved slightly. Segment profit in 2005 was $81 million, or 11.8% of net sales, up slightly compared to $74 million, or 11.3% of net sales, in 2004. The 50 basis point increase in the segment profit rate was primarily driven by the favorable pricing impact and sales volume leverage in the above identified businesses.

During 2006, Security’s sales increased 25%. Acquisitions, including National, contributed 21%, organic sales volume 2%, pricing 1%, and currency 1%. The automatic doors business continued to grow its service revenue and achieved strong national account share gains driven by the favorable impact of new product introductions, new store openings and increased modernization of pre-existing stores. The mechanical access business benefited from new product introductions and its expanded ability to provide customers with virtually all of their varied mechanical product needs. In addition, the Security segment as a whole benefited from the growth and continued integration of its national service foot print. The 2006 segment profit as a percentage of net sales was 130 basis points lower than 2005 as the favorable impact from prior cost reduction and integration actions were negated by $8 million of non-cash inventory step-up amortization from acquisitions, and the dilutive impact of National hardware margins due to its legacy high-cost manufacturing structure which the Company continues to transition to low cost countries. The segment operating profit rate was further affected by commodity cost inflation and the dilutive impact of other recently acquired companies until integration initiatives unfold.

Security’s sales increased 23% in 2005. Excluding acquisitions, organic sales increased 2%. Sales volume and favorable foreign currency each represented 1% of the organic increase. The increase in organic volume was driven by the North American mechanical access and electronic security integration businesses, partially offset by declines in the North American automatic door and Blick U.K. security businesses. The strong sales volume achieved by the mechanical access business was driven by increased demand from its national accounts based on the continued ability to provide a diversified product offering to such customers, while the North American security integration business benefited from strong market conditions. The decline in Blick was attributable to overall softness in the U.K. economy, while the automatic doors business was negatively impacted by the non-recurrence of a major project upgrade at a large customer as compared with 2004. Acquisitions contributed $17 million of segment profit. The segment profit rate decrease is primarily attributed to unfavorable mix as a result of a higher proportion of electronic access sales as compared to mechanical access, as well as the impact of recent acquisitions as integration synergies were not yet fully achieved, and there was unfavorable impact from non-recurring inventory step-up costs in purchase accounting.

At December 30, 2006, the restructuring and asset impairment reserve balance was $63.1 million, which the Company expects to be fully expended by the end of 2007. Restructuring charges in 2007 are expected to increase to approximately $.20 per diluted share. A summary of the Company’s restructuring reserve activity from December 31, 2005 to December 30, 2006 is as follows (in millions):

2006 Actions: During 2006, the Company initiated a cost reduction initiative in order to maintain its cost competitiveness and vitality. Severance charges of $11.9 million were recorded during the year relating to a reduction of 728 employees. Approximately $6.3 million of this charge pertained to the CDIY segment; $1.1 million to the Industrial segment; and $4.5 million to the Security segment. Of these amounts, $9.3 million has been utilized to date, with $2.6 million of reserves remaining as of December 30, 2006. In addition to severance, $4.1 million for a U.K. pension plan curtailment was recorded in Other, net and $1.3 million of related consulting costs were recorded in SG&A.

Pre-2006 Actions: During 2005, the Company initiated a $5.7 million cost reduction in various businesses, of which $4.6 million was recorded in 2005 and $1.1 million was recorded during 2006. The action was comprised of the severance of 170 employees and the exit of a leased facility. Of this amount, $5.0 million has been utilized to date with $0.7 million of accrual remaining as of December 30, 2006. Approximately $4.0 million of this charge pertained to the Security segment; $0.4 million to the Industrial segment; and $1.3 million to the CDIY segment. In addition, as of December 30, 2006, $1.2 million of reserves remain relating to pre-2005 actions.

Acquisition Related: During 2006, the Company completed a consultation process with its European Works Council regarding the reorganization of its Facom and Stanley hand tools activities in Europe (these ‘‘Initiatives’’). These Initiatives will, among other things, implement growth strategies and reduce costs by rationalizing manufacturing, logistics, sales and support organizations resulting in the severance of approximately 580 employees, the closure of two legacy Facom factories in France, as well as four legacy Facom distribution centers located in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. The facility rationalization commenced recently with the severance of approximately 440 employees, closure of the two French factories and exit from the United Kingdom distribution center. The Company expects to complete these Initiatives during 2007. Cash expenditures to be incurred for these Initiatives are estimated at approximately $75 million, of which $59.4 million has been recorded to the Facom purchase price allocation and $0.7 million was reported as a 2006 restructuring charge. As of December 30, 2006, $6.6 million has been utilized to date, with $53.5 million accrual remaining. Also, $1.4 million of asset impairments were recorded to Cost of Sales relating to inventory rationalization associated with the plant shut downs.

In connection with its acquisition of National, the Company recorded $8.0 million in severance costs for 243 employees and $0.3 million for facility closure costs to the purchase price allocation, and $0.2 million was recorded as a restructuring charge. As of December 30, 2006, $5.8 million has been utilized with $2.7 million accrual remaining.

Liquidity, Sources and Uses of Capital: The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and borrowings under various credit facilities.

Operating and Investing Activities: The Company has historically generated strong cash flows from operations. In 2006, cash flow from operations was $439 million compared to $362 million in 2005. The $77 million improvement in 2006 versus 2005 is mainly attributable to higher cash earnings on the strength of acquisitions, reflecting the removal of increased non-cash expenses in 2006 (particularly inventory step-up amortization associated with acquisitions, intangible asset amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense). Receivables, inventories and accounts payables generated $11 million higher cash inflows in 2006 compared with 2005 due to increased receivable sales. These favorable impacts were partially offset by cash outflows for restructuring activities which amounted to $29 million in 2006, an increase of $20 million over 2005. In 2005, operating cash flow totaled $362 million, down slightly from 2004.

Capital expenditures were $80 million in 2006, $68 million in 2005, and $55 million in 2004. The higher capital expenditures in 2006 were driven by upgrades of information systems, the incremental impact of normal capital spending incurred by recent acquisitions, and equipment purchases related to new product introductions. The increase in 2005 capital expenditures versus 2004 was due to new product introductions, information system upgrades and plant investments in China and Thailand. The Company expects future capital expenditures to increase approximately in proportion to its sales growth.

Free cash flow, as defined in the following table, was $359 million in 2006 and $294 million in 2005, considerably exceeding net earnings from continuing operations in a period of continued strong sales volume growth. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and provide a dividend to shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions.

Based on its demonstrated ability to generate cash flow from operations as well as its strong balance sheet and credit position at December 30, 2006, the Company believes it has the financial flexibility to deploy capital to its shareholders’ advantage through a combination of acquisitions, dividends, debt repayment, and potential future share repurchases.

In 2006, acquisition spending totaled $572 million, primarily related to Facom and Besco, and $20 million of debt repayments associated with the 2004 acquisition of Blick. 2005 acquisition spending amounted to $287 million principally for the National, Security Group, Sielox and Precision acquisitions discussed previously. As part of its portfolio diversification shift, in 2004 the Company received $205 million in net proceeds from sales of the residential entry door and home décor businesses, and disbursed $301 million for business acquisitions. In 2005, the $21 million of remaining taxes due on the gain from these business sales were paid. Pursuant to its profitable growth strategy, the Company will continue to assess its current business portfolio for disposition opportunities and make acquisitions in favored markets while minimizing the risk associated with large customer concentrations. The Company likely will complete additional 2007 acquisitions requiring funding of approximately $50 – $75 million, aside from HSM which was acquired for $545 million in January 2007.

During 2006, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction of its corporate headquarters building. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company received $23 million in cash proceeds, reported in investing cash flows, and recorded a deferred gain of $11 million which will be amortized over the 15 year operating lease term. The cash proceeds were utilized to pay down short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities: The Company financed the HSM acquisition with proceeds from existing short term credit facilities and a new $500 million 364-day bridge facility entered into on January 8, 2007.

The Company remains committed to its current credit ratings and intends to refinance this transaction with a combination of available cash, debt and equity-linked securities, which it believes will be consistent with maintaining those ratings. Management does not anticipate the need to issue common equity in the short term in order to achieve this objective. However, the above refinancing is expected to entail the issuance of common stock in the medium term.

Payments on long-term debt amounted to $4 million in 2006, $72 million in 2005 and $154 million in 2004. Payments in 2004 reflect the maturity of $120 million of debt on March 1, 2004. Net repayments of short-term borrowings in 2006 amounted to a cash outflow of $66 million as the Company paid down commercial paper utilizing a portion of the strong operating cash flows. Net short-term borrowings provided cash inflows of $103 million in 2005 and $20 million in 2004. The increase in 2005 was primarily attributed to commercial paper issued to fund the 2005 acquisitions aside from National.

In November 2005, the Company consummated a Section 144A offering, with registration rights, of $450 million of Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities (‘‘ETPS’’) through its unconsolidated trust subsidiary, The Stanley Works Capital Trust I (‘‘the Trust’’). Contemporaneously, the Company borrowed the proceeds of the ETPS offering from the Trust by issuing $450 million of junior subordinated debt securities payable to the Trust. The net proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisitions of National and Facom which closed on November 30, 2005 and January 1, 2006, respectively. These securities and underlying junior subordinated debt securities (collectively, the ‘‘securities’’) feature a 5 year fixed rate period ending December 1, 2010 and a floating rate period ending December 1, 2045. The fixed coupon was set at 5.902%. The obligations, tenor and terms of the ETPS mirror those of the junior subordinated debt securities. The securities can be redeemed by the Company on or after December 1, 2010 without penalty for early payment.

In 2005, the Company amended its long-term (multi-year) $400 million committed credit facility by increasing the facility size to $550 million and adding a multi currency sub-limit of $250 million available in Euros or Pound Sterling. This long-term credit facility matures in October 2009. In addition, the Company has short-term lines of credit with numerous foreign banks aggregating $251 million, of which $191 million was available at December 30, 2006. Short-term arrangements are reviewed annually for renewal. Aggregate credit lines amounted to $801 million. The $550 million committed credit facility is designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company’s commercial paper program. As of December 30, 2006, there were no outstanding loans under this facility and the Company had $31 million of commercial paper outstanding. In addition to these lines of credit, the Company maintains a committed facility designed for the securitization of certain trade accounts receivable for purposes of additional liquidity. As of December 30, 2006, the Company’s maximum available funds under this arrangement were $87 million, of which $60 million was utilized.

In 2003, the Company filed a Shelf Registration in the amount of $900 million. At December 30, 2006, the Shelf Registration was unutilized. This filing represents a prospectus which, if accompanied by a prospectus supplement, would allow the Company to offer, issue and sell, together or separately, debt, equity and other securities.

The Company increased its cash dividend per common share to $1.18 in 2006. Dividends per common share increased 3.5% in 2006, 5.5% in 2005 and 4.9% in 2004.

In 2006, the Company completed a stock repurchase program whereby it repurchased 4 million outstanding shares of its common stock for $200 million. The Company will continue to assess the possibility of repurchasing more of its outstanding common stock, based on a number of factors including the level of acquisition activity, the market price of the Company’s common stock and the current financial condition of the Company.

The Company’s debt to capital ratio was 39% at the end of 2006, 42% at the end of 2005 and 32% at the end of 2004. Reflecting the credit protection measures that are incorporated into the terms of the $450 million ETPS, the debt to capital ratio of the Company is more fairly represented by apportioning 50% of the ETPS issuance to equity when making the calculation. The resulting debt to capital ratio from this apportionment is 30% as of December 30, 2006. This adjustment is consistent with the treatment accorded these securities by the nationally recognized statistical ratings

organizations that rate the Company’s debt securities and accordingly the equity-content-adjusted debt to capital ratio is considered a relevant measure of its financial condition.

The following table reconciles the debt to capital ratio computed with reported debt and equity to the same measure after the equity content adjustment attributed to the ETPS securities:

Contractual Obligations: The following summarizes the Company’s significant contractual obligations and commitments that impact its liquidity:


(Millions of Dollars)	Total			2007			2008-2009			2010-2011			Thereafter
Long-term debt		$	910		$	232		$	14		$	11		$	653
Interest payments on long-term debt^(a)			327			44			75			77			131
Operating leases			111			29			38			21			23
Derivatives^(b)			57			—			29			21			7
Deferred compensation			40			5			10			12			13
Material purchase commitments			36			9			18			9			—
Pension funding obligations^(c)			17			17			—			—			—
Outsourcing and other obligations			32			19			13			—			—
Total contractual cash obligations		$	1,530		$	355		$	197		$	151		$	827

Aside from debt payments, for which there is no tax benefit associated with repayment of principal, payment of the above contractual obligations will typically generate a cash tax benefit such that the net cash outflow will be lower than the gross amounts indicated.

Short-term borrowings, long-term debt and lines of credit are explained in detail within Note I Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating leases and other commercial commitments are further detailed in Note R Commitments and Guarantees of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Market risk is the potential economic loss that may result from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments, currencies, commodities and other items traded in global markets. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices, and commodity prices. Exposure to foreign currency risk results because the Company, through its global businesses, enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies. The Company’s predominant exposures are in European, Canadian and Asian currencies, including the Chinese Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’) and the Taiwan Dollar. Certain cross-currency trade flows arising from sales and procurement activities as well as affiliate cross-border activity are consolidated and netted prior to obtaining risk protection, primarily purchased basket options. The Company is thus able to capitalize on its global positioning by taking advantage of naturally offsetting exposures and portfolio efficiencies to reduce the cost of purchasing protection. At times, the Company also enters into forward exchange contracts and purchased options to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables, predominately for affiliate transactions. Gains and losses from these hedging instruments offset the gains or losses on the underlying net exposures, assets and liabilities being hedged. Management determines the nature and extent of currency hedging activities, and in certain cases, may elect to allow certain currency exposures to remain unhedged. The Company has also entered into several cross-currency interest rate swaps, to provide a partial hedge of the net investments in certain subsidiaries and better match the cash flows of operations to debt service requirements. Sensitivity to foreign currency exposure risk from these financial instruments at the end of 2006 would have been immaterial based on the potential loss in fair value from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all currencies. The Company follows risk management policies in executing derivative financial instrument transactions, and does not use such instruments for speculative purposes.

On July 21, 2005, China announced it will allow the RMB to fluctuate within a very tight band (+/− .3% around the weighted average prior day close) thereby effectively adopting a managed float and ending its decade-old valuation de facto peg to the U.S. Dollar (‘‘USD’’). The initial appreciation was 2%. Besides the initial move, the effect of that policy shift during 2006 was negligible as total appreciation of the RMB versus the USD at year end amounted to only 3%. The Company sources significant products from China and other Asian low cost countries for resale in other regions. To the extent the RMB or these other currencies appreciate with respect to the USD, the Company may experience cost increases on such purchases. While the present 3% appreciation of the RMB should not generate material cost increases for RMB denominated purchases, further appreciation of this or other currencies utilized for procurement could adversely affect profitability. In the event significant RMB or other currency appreciation occurs, the Company would initiate customer pricing or other actions in an effort to mitigate the related cost increases, but it is possible such actions would not fully offset the potential unfavorable impact.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results from its outstanding debt obligations, short-term investments, and derivative financial instruments employed in the management of its debt portfolio. The debt portfolio is managed to achieve capital structure targets and reduce the overall cost of borrowing by using a combination of fixed and floating rate debt as well as interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps. The Company’s primary exposure to interest rate risk comes from its floating rate debt in the U.S. and Europe and is fairly represented by changes in LIBOR and EURIBOR rates. At December 30, 2006, the result of a hypothetical two percentage point increase in short-term LIBOR and EURIBOR rates would not have resulted in a material impact on the pre-tax profit of the Company.

The Company has exposure to commodity prices in many businesses, particularly brass, nickel, resin, aluminum, copper, zinc, steel, and energy used in the production of finished goods. Generally, commodity price exposures are not hedged with derivative financial instruments, but instead are actively managed through customer pricing actions, procurement-driven cost reduction initiatives and

other productivity improvement projects. In 2005, the Company experienced approximately $40 million of commodity and energy inflation, most of which was recovered through favorable pricing actions. Such inflation increased costs by approximately $45 million in 2006, which management mitigated through various customer pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives. If commodity prices fluctuated to reach new historical high levels, similar to those experienced in 2004, the Company’s exposure could increase from the expected levels for 2007 as previously discussed.

Fluctuations in the fair value of the Company’s common stock affect domestic retirement plan expense as discussed in the ESOP section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The assets held by the Company’s defined benefit plans are exposed to fluctuations in the market value of securities, primarily global stocks and fixed-income securities. The funding obligations for these plans would increase in the event of adverse changes in the plan asset values. The Company employs a conservative asset allocation as well as investment consultants to mitigate this risk. Management has worked to minimize this exposure by freezing and terminating defined benefit plans where appropriate.

Sales to The Home Depot amounted to 10% of 2006 consolidated net sales from continuing operations. The Company has other significant customers, particularly home centers and major retailers, though individually there are none that exceed 10% of consolidated sales. The loss or material reduction of business from any such significant customer could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, until either such customers were replaced or the Company made the necessary adjustments to compensate for the loss of business.

The Company has access to financial resources and borrowing capabilities around the world. There are no material instruments within the debt structure that would accelerate payment requirements due to a change in credit rating. The Company has the flexibility to elect deferral of interest payments on its ETPS obligation for up to 5 years. The Company believes that its strong financial position, operating cash flows, committed long-term credit facilities and borrowing capacity, and ready access to equity markets provide the financial flexibility necessary to continue its record of annual dividend payments, to invest in the routine needs of its businesses, to make strategic acquisitions and to fund other initiatives encompassed by its growth strategy.

ENVIRONMENTAL The Company incurs costs related to environmental issues as a result of various laws and regulations governing current operations as well as the remediation of previously contaminated sites. Future laws and regulations are expected to be increasingly stringent and will likely increase the Company’s expenditures related to routine environmental matters.

The Company accrues for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation efforts in accordance with appropriate accounting guidelines which address probability and the ability to reasonably estimate future costs. The liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future environmental costs, the Company believes that any sum it may pay in connection with environmental matters in excess of the amounts recorded will not have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Refer to Note S Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on environmental liabilities and related cash flows.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN As detailed in Note M Employee Benefit Plans of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (‘‘ESOP’’) under which the ongoing U.S. defined contribution and 401(K) plans are funded. Overall ESOP expense is affected by the market value of Stanley stock on the monthly dates when shares are released, among other factors. Net ESOP expense amounted to $2 million in each of the years 2006, 2005 and 2004. While the average market value of shares released increased from $43.20 in 2004 to $49.28 in 2006, other elements of ESOP expense, including a gradual reduction in the number of shares released annually from the trust, offset the favorable impact of the higher share price. ESOP expense could increase in the future if the market value of the Company’s common stock declines.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Refer to Note A Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements and the potential impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are described in Note A Significant Accounting Policies. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters with inherent uncertainty. The most significant areas involving management estimates are described below. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company’s estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables is based on two methods. The amounts calculated from each of these methods are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations, such as bankruptcy. In these cases, the Company uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific reserve for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Second, a reserve is established for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to receivables aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience.

If circumstances change, for example, the occurrence of higher than expected defaults or a material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to the Company, estimates of the recoverability of receivable amounts due could be reduced.

INVENTORIES — LOWER OF COST OR MARKET, SLOW MOVING AND OBSOLETE U.S. inventories are predominantly valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market. The calculation of LIFO reserves, and therefore the net inventory valuation, is affected by inflation and deflation in inventory components. The Company ensures all inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, and continually reviews the carrying value of discontinued product lines and stock-keeping-units (‘‘SKUs’’) to determine that these items are properly valued. The Company also continually evaluates the composition of its inventory and identifies obsolete and/or slow-moving inventories. Inventory items identified as obsolete and/or slow-moving are evaluated to determine if reserves are required. The Company identifies these inventories and assesses the ability to dispose of them at a price greater than cost. If it is determined that cost is less than market value, cost is used for inventory valuation. If market value is less than cost, the Company writes down the related inventory to that value. If a write down to the current market value is necessary, the market value cannot be greater than the net realizable value, or ceiling (defined as selling price less costs to sell and dispose), and cannot be lower than the net realizable value less a normal profit margin, also called the floor. If the Company is not able to achieve its expectations regarding net realizable value of inventory at its current value, reserves would have to be adjusted accordingly.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company completed acquisitions in 2006 and 2005 valued at $552 million and $289 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. The Company reported $1.1 billion of goodwill and $298 million of indefinite-lived trade names at December 30, 2006.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing. The identification and measurement of goodwill and unamortized intangible asset impairment involves the estimation of fair value. The valuation of goodwill also requires the identification and valuation of reporting units. The estimates of fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and related reporting units are based on the best information available at the date of assessment, which primarily incorporate management assumptions about future cash flows. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or

market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized with newly acquired entities. While the Company has not recorded goodwill or other intangible asset impairment losses in many years, it is possible impairments may occur in the future in the event expected profitability, cash flows or trade name usage change significantly from current estimates.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The Company generally values Property, Plant and Equipment (‘‘PP&E’’) at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment, such as plant closures, are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. The impairment loss is quantified by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the weighted average discounted cash flows, which consider various possible outcomes for the disposition of the assets (i.e. sale, leasing, etc.). Primarily as a result of plant rationalization, certain facilities and equipment are not currently used in operations. The Company has previously recorded impairment losses related to unused and under-utilized assets, and such losses may occur in the future.

RISK INSURANCE To some extent, the Company self insures for various business exposures. For domestic workers’ compensation and product liability, the Company generally purchases outside insurance coverage only for severe losses (‘‘stop loss’’ insurance). The two risk areas involving the most significant accounting estimates are workers’ compensation and product liability (liability for alleged injuries associated with the Company’s products). Actuarial valuations performed by an outside risk insurance expert form the basis for workers’ compensation and product liability loss reserves recorded. The actuary contemplates the Company’s specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors to estimate the range of reserves required. Risk insurance reserves are comprised of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts expected for development of these claims, as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The specific reserves for individual known claims are quantified by third party administrator specialists (insurance companies) for workers’ compensation and by in-house legal counsel in consultation with outside attorneys for product liability. The cash outflows related to risk insurance claims are expected to occur over approximately 8 to 10 years, and the present value of expected future claim payments is reserved. The Company believes the liability recorded for such risk insurance reserves as of December 30, 2006 is adequate, but due to judgments inherent in the reserve estimation process it is possible the ultimate costs will differ from this estimate.

WARRANTY The Company provides product and service warranties which vary across its businesses. The types of warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime, while certain products carry no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available. The Company believes the liability recorded for expected warranty claims as of December 30, 2006 is adequate, but due to judgments inherent in the reserve estimation process, including forecasting future product reliability levels and costs of repair as well as the estimated age of certain items submitted for claims, the ultimate claim costs may differ from the recorded warranty liability.

INCOME TAXES The future tax benefit arising from net deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards is $126 million at December 30, 2006 and $97 million at December 31, 2005. The Company believes earnings during the periods when the temporary differences become deductible will be sufficient to realize the related future income tax benefits. For those jurisdictions where the expiration date of tax loss carry-forwards or the projected operating results indicate that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is provided. The valuation allowance as of December 30, 2006 amounted to $27 million.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company estimates future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carry-forwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets in the

future, the unrealizable amount would be charged to earnings in the period in which that determination is made. By contrast, if the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, it would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a favorable earnings adjustment in the period in which that determination is made. The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies for all tax years still under audit based on the most current available information. When it is deemed probable that an adjustment will be asserted, the Company accrues its best estimate of the tax liability, inclusive of related interest charges. See Note Q Income Taxes of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements include the following:

RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATIONS The Company has agreements to sell, on a revolving basis, pools of accounts and notes receivables to a Qualified Special Purpose Entity (‘‘QSPE’’), which qualifies to be accounted for as an unconsolidated subsidiary. The entity is designed to facilitate the securitization of certain trade accounts receivable. Assets and related debt off-balance sheet were both $60 million at December 30, 2006, compared to $16 million as of December 31, 2005. The Company is responsible for servicing these accounts while the QSPE bears the risk of non-collection. Sales of eligible receivables in 2006 amounted to $44 million compared to $5 million in the prior year. There were no gains or losses on these sales.

SYNTHETIC LEASES The Company is a party to synthetic leasing programs for two of its major distribution centers and certain personal property, predominately vehicles and equipment. The programs qualify as operating leases for accounting purposes, such that only the monthly rent expense is recorded in the Statement of Operations and the liability and value of the underlying assets are off-balance sheet. These lease programs are utilized primarily to reduce overall cost and to retain flexibility. As of December 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of assets and remaining obligations for these properties were $95 million and $72 million, respectively.

TRUST The Company owns 100% of the common stock ($0.1 million) of The Stanley Works Capital Trust I (‘‘the Trust’’) which was formed in 2005 to initiate the offering of the $450 million Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities (‘‘ETPS’’). However, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, ‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51’’ (‘‘FIN 46R’’), the Trust is not consolidated. Since the $450 million of junior subordinated debt issued by the Company to the Trust is reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2006, consolidation of the Trust would have virtually no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Unless required by applicable federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof. Investors are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures made on related subjects in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Stanley Works and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareowners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 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 consolidated financial position of The Stanley Works and subsidiaries at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 30, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of The Stanley Works’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 123(Revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ and SFAS No. 158, ‘‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-An amendment to FASB Statement Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).’’

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. There were 52 weeks in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004.

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 of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For foreign operations with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments, as well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in a separate component of shareowners’ equity. Exchange gains and losses on transactions are included in earnings, and amounted to net losses/(gains) for 2006, 2005 and 2004 of $3.9 million, $(0.9) million and $4.5 million, respectively.

CASH EQUIVALENTS Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE Trade receivables are stated at gross invoice amount less discounts, other allowances and provision for uncollectible accounts.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using two methods. First, a specific reserve is established for individual accounts where information is available that customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Second, a reserve is determined for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. Actual write offs are charged against the allowance when internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful, generally when payments are more than 120 days past due.

INVENTORIES U.S. inventories, aside from Best, Precision, CST/Berger and certain other small businesses, are valued at the lower of Last-In, First-Out (‘‘LIFO’’) cost or market. Other inventories are generally valued at the lower of First-In, First-Out (‘‘FIFO’’) cost or market.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The Company generally values property, plant and equipment (‘‘PP&E’’), including capitalized software, on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease. Costs related to maintenance and repairs which do not prolong the assets useful lives are expensed as incurred. The Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when indicators that the carrying values may not be recoverable are present. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are generated (‘‘asset group’’) and estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to be generated from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is quantified by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated fair value, which is determined using weighted average discounted cash flows that consider various possible outcomes for the disposition of the asset group. Primarily as a result of plant rationalization, certain facilities and equipment are not currently used in operations, which has resulted in impairment losses. PP&E impairment charges, classified in Restructuring and Asset Impairments, amounted to $3.7 million in 2004 and were zero in both 2006 and 2005.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets acquired are

recorded at estimated fair value. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually during the third quarter, and at any time when events suggest impairment may have occurred. To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units, which are primarily determined using management’s assumptions about future cash flows based on long-range strategic plans. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors and tax rates. In the event the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible asset carrying amounts are tested for impairment by comparing to current fair market value, usually determined by what it would cost to lease the asset from third parties. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment when appropriate. If the carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted future cash flows, the asset is written down to fair value. No goodwill or other intangible asset impairments were recorded during 2006, 2005 and 2004.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivative financial instruments are employed to manage risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency options, and foreign exchange contracts, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically either in earnings or in Shareowners’ Equity as a component of other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged items that relate to the hedged risk. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income, and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the amount in other comprehensive income would be recognized in earnings and the derivative terminated. Changes in the fair value of derivatives used as hedges of the net investment in foreign operations are reported in other comprehensive income. The fair value of derivatives involving foreign currencies is determined using the spot exchange rate at the reporting date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges, and any portion of a hedge that is ineffective, are reported in earnings in Other-net.

The net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest expense over the remaining period of the debt originally covered by the terminated swap.

REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment of the finished product but sometimes is upon delivery to customer facilities. Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Certain Security segment revenues include multiple elements of products and services. Revenues from multiple element arrangements are recognized as each element is earned, consistent with the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, ‘‘Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables’’. Amounts allocated to each element are based on objectively determined fair value. Additionally, revenues related to the sale and installation of electronic access security systems are generally recorded on the percentage-of-completion basis. This method recognizes estimated contractual profits and revenues while projects are in process based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to date to total expected costs. Revenues from multiple element arrangements and percentage-of-completion contracts were each less than 10% of consolidated revenues in all years.

ADVERTISING COSTS Television advertising is expensed the first time the advertisement airs, whereas other advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising Costs are classified as SG&A expenses

and amounted to $44.4 million in 2006, $31.3 million in 2005 and $28.3 million in 2004. Cooperative advertising expense reported as a deduction in net sales was $26.3 million in 2006, $26.5 million in 2005 and $21.9 million in 2004.

INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are classified as Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share equals net earnings divided by weighted average shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share include the impact of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method when the effect is dilutive.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS The Company generally does not bill customers for freight. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are reported in cost of sales. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight are reported as a reduction of net sales and amounted to $128.4 million, $99.9 million and $102.3 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Distribution costs are classified in SG&A expenses and amounted to $118.2 million, $77.0 million and $75.8 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’, (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), using the modified prospective method whereby prior periods are not restated for comparability. SFAS 123R requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees’’ (‘‘APB 25’’), as amended by related interpretations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’). Under APB 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting period. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 as well as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’, which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the difference between the fair value method and the intrinsic value method. The Company recognized expense for restricted share grants under the previous guidance, so the impact from adopting SFAS 123R pertains to the requirement to expense stock options (including employee stock purchase plan options).

For share-based grants made in 2005 and earlier years, the Company used the ‘‘accelerated method’’ of expense attribution under FASB Interpretation No. 28 (‘‘FIN 28’’). Effective January 1, 2006 with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company elected to change its policy to straight-line expense attribution for all grants made in 2006 and subsequent periods. Refer to Note K, Capital Stock, for additional information.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 159, ‘‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115’’, (‘‘SFAS 159’’). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company has not yet assessed the effect, if any, that adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 ‘‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and

132(R)’’, (‘‘SFAS 158’’). This statement requires recognition of the funded status of benefit plans measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligations. Related to this recognition of the funded status in the benefit plan asset or liability account, SFAS 158 requires reporting as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains and losses and prior service costs or credits that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in earnings. SFAS 158 requires defined benefit plan assets and obligations to be measured as of the fiscal year-end date. New disclosures include the expected effects on net periodic benefit costs for the next fiscal year from amortization of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and the transition asset or obligation. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 158 and initially applied them as of December 30, 2006. The initial recognition of the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans resulted in a decrease to Shareowners’ Equity of $61.1 million, net of taxes of $26.7 million. The adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 will have no impact on the Company because it already measures its benefit plan obligations as of the fiscal year end. SFAS 158 does not change the determination of net periodic benefit cost.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’, (‘‘SFAS 157’’). This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 provides a common fair value hierarchy for companies to follow in determining fair value measurements in the preparation of financial statements and expands disclosure requirements relating to how such fair value measurements were developed. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that the marketplace would use when pricing an asset or liability, rather than company specific data. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, (‘‘FIN 48’’), ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109’’. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The disclosure provisions will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. Upon adoption, the Company will first assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. If the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained, under the presumption the taxing authority has all relevant information, it will be recognized. The recognized tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will be derecognized in the period in which that threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, ‘‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140’’, (‘‘SFAS 156’’). The provisions of SFAS 156 are effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. This statement was issued to simplify the accounting for servicing rights and to reduce the volatility that results from using different measurement attributes. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 ‘‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’’, (‘‘SFAS 155’’). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses.

The Company has agreements to sell, on a revolving basis, undivided interests in defined pools of notes receivable to a Qualified Special Purpose Entity (‘‘QSPE’’). The entity is designed to facilitate the securitization of certain trade accounts receivable and is used as an additional source of liquidity. At December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the defined pools of receivables amounted to $86.7 million and $125.1 million, respectively, while the agreement permits the QSPE to have a maximum of $150 million of borrowings outstanding at any time. The proceeds from sales of such eligible receivables to the QSPE in revolving-period securitizations were $43.9 million in 2006 and $4.7 million in 2005. There were no gains or losses on these sales. The amounts deducted from receivables in the December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheets under this arrangement were $60.3 million and $16.4 million, respectively. The Company is responsible for servicing and collecting the receivables sold and held in the QSPE. Any incremental costs related to such servicing and collection efforts are not significant. The QSPE bears the risk of non-collection on the receivables it has purchased.

Net inventories in the amount of $237.1 million at December 30, 2006 and $219.4 million at December 31, 2005 were valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market. If the LIFO method had not been used, inventories would have been $68.8 million higher than reported at December 30, 2006 and $65.5 million higher than reported at December 31, 2005. The LIFO method is utilized in determining inventory value as it results in better matching of cost and revenues.

Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. At December 30, 2006, $28.2 million of financing lease receivables were classified as held for sale. These receivables, generated by the Blick business within the Security segment, will be sold in 2007 for an amount expected to slightly exceed their aggregate carrying value.

At December 31, 2005, real property in the CDIY segment, valued at $0.6 million was classified as held for sale; this property was sold during 2006 and a gain of approximately $1.9 million was recognized thereon. Also, $1.7 million of assets related to the Goldblatt^® product line in this same segment were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and sold during 2006.

Additionally, the net assets of the American appliance hinge and the U.K. decorator tools businesses, which were sold in 2006, were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005, as detailed in Note T Discontinued Operations.

Depreciation and amortization expense associated with property, plant and equipment was as follows:

The amounts above are inclusive of discontinued operations depreciation and amortization expense of $0.1 million in 2006, $0.3 million in 2005 and $3.0 million in 2004.

The Company completed 20 acquisitions during 2006, 2005 and 2004. These businesses were acquired pursuant to the Company’s growth and portfolio repositioning strategy. The acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (‘‘SFAS 141’’), ‘‘Business Combinations’’, and their results are included in the Company’s consolidated operating results from the respective acquisition dates. All of the acquisitions have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill reflects the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired business in excess of the fair values that are assigned to all other identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill arises because the purchase price paid reflects numerous factors including the strategic fit and expected synergies these targets bring to existing operations, the competitive nature of the bidding process and the prevailing market value for comparable companies. SFAS 141 requires all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired to be reported at fair value and the excess is recorded as goodwill. The Company obtains information during due diligence and from other sources which forms the basis for the initial allocation of purchase price to the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. In the months following an acquisition, independent intangible asset valuation reports, asset appraisals and other data are obtained in order to finalize the fair values assigned to acquired assets and liabilities.

Integration of certain acquisitions requires reduction of redundant personnel, closure of facilities, and other restructuring actions related to the acquired businesses. In such cases, a restructuring accrual is recorded for actions identified in integration strategy plans initially developed by the Company as of the acquisition date, with a resulting increase to goodwill. As integration strategies are executed, the Company monitors the previously established restructuring accruals and makes adjustments to the extent actual expenditures differ from the estimated accruals. Adjustments recorded to previously established restructuring accruals until the time integration plans are fully executed, not to exceed one year from date of original acquisition, are reflected in the final goodwill amount included in the purchase price allocation. Adjustments made subsequent to the finalization of integration strategies, or after one year from the date of original acquisition, are reflected in earnings if increases to the originally established accruals are required, while accruals that are not fully utilized are appropriately reduced against goodwill.

2006 ACQUISITIONS On January 1, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Facom S.A. (‘‘Facom’’) for 407 million euros ($479.8 million) which was financed with a combination of cash on hand and debt issuance. Facom, based in France, is a leading European manufacturer of hand and mechanics tools with annual revenues approximating $475 million. Facom designs, manufactures and markets the majority of its tool product range to professional automotive and industrial end users with its well-known industrial tool brands: Facom^®, Virax^® and USAG^®. Facom operates primarily within the premium industrial and automotive tools sector in Europe, while the Company’s pre-existing European customer base is focused mainly on the construction and D-I-Y (‘‘do-it-yourself’’) channels. Facom is primarily included in the Company’s Industrial segment while its minor D-I-Y business is included in the CDIY segment.

As of July 31, 2006, the Company completed a tender offer to acquire approximately 67% of the outstanding shares of Besco Pneumatic Corporation (‘‘Besco’’), a leading manufacturer of pneumatic tools for $37.9 million in cash. Over the next five years, the Company will have the option to increase its ownership by an additional 15% to an ultimate ownership of 82%. Besco, which is headquartered in Taiwan and also has operations in China, possesses state-of-the-art research and development capabilities and efficient production facilities. Besco was one of Stanley fastening systems’ largest suppliers and approximately half of its 2005 sales of $38 million were to the Company. The acquisition is a key step in reducing fastening system’s existing cost structure and will facilitate the pursuit of business in emerging markets aided by Besco’s brand strength in Asia.

The Company also made five bolt-on acquisitions and increased its investment in a previously consolidated joint venture during 2006 for a combined purchase price of $33.9 million. On January 23, 2006, Automatic Entrances of Colorado, Inc. (‘‘Automatic Entrances’’) was acquired. This is a distributor that sells, installs and services automatic doors and gates in several western states in the U.S. Another automatic door distributor, Automatic Doors Systems, Inc. (‘‘Automatic Doors’’), was acquired on July 31, 2006 and operates in the southeastern U.S. region. These two acquisitions increased the geographic scale of the automatic door business’ existing branch structure. On February 28, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Allan Brothers (Pty) Ltd. and affiliated companies (‘‘Allan Brothers’’), a South African producer of various nail and staple products that complements the Company’s existing fastening systems business. GDX Technologies Ltd. was acquired on July 26, 2006 and is a leading access control supplier in the United Kingdom that possesses strong technological product development capabilities. This business complements the Company’s existing European security integration business. Another small bolt-on acquisition was made related to the Company’s mechanical access business, and an additional 20% interest was acquired in a previously consolidated Chinese joint-venture.

The total purchase price of $551.6 million (inclusive of $2.4 million of hold-back note payables) for the 2006 acquisitions reflects transaction costs and is net of cash acquired. Amounts allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates of fair value. The purchase price allocation of Besco includes 100% of the acquired assets and liabilities, of which $22.1 million is a non-controlling interest that is reflected in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Adjustments to reflect the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are complete for Facom, Automatic Doors, Automatic Entrances, and Allan Brothers. However, the purchase price allocations for the Besco, GDX and other minor acquisitions are preliminary, mainly with respect to finalization of intangible asset valuations, related deferred taxes, and other minor items.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2006 acquisitions in the aggregate:

Other liabilities primarily consist of liabilities for warranty, environmental and employee benefit obligations associated with the Facom acquisition and the previously discussed $22.1 million Besco non-controlling interest.

The weighted average useful lives assigned to the amortizable assets identified above are trade names – 7 years; customer relationships – 13 years; patents and technology – 15 years; and other intangible assets – 9 years. The amount allocated to the trade names includes $171.6 million associated with the Facom acquisition (Facom^®, Virax^®, and USAG^®) which have been determined to have indefinite lives. Goodwill associated with the 2006 acquisitions that is deductible for tax purposes amounts to $0.6 million.

During 2006, the Company completed a consultation process with its European Works Council regarding the reorganization of its Facom and Stanley hand tools activities in Europe (these ‘‘Initiatives’’). These Initiatives will, among other things, implement growth strategies and reduce costs by rationalizing manufacturing, logistics, sales and support organizations resulting in the severance of approximately 580 employees, the closure of two legacy Facom factories in France, as well as four legacy Facom distribution centers located in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. The facility rationalization commenced recently with the severance of approximately 440 employees, closure of the two French factories and exit from the United Kingdom distribution center. The Company expects to complete these Initiatives during 2007. Cash expenditures to be incurred for these Initiatives are estimated at $75 million, of which $59.4 million has been recorded to the Facom purchase price allocation and $0.7 million was reported as a 2006 restructuring charge. As of December 30, 2006, $6.6 million has been utilized to date, with $53.5 million accrual remaining. Also, $1.4 million of asset impairments were recorded to Cost of Sales relating to inventory rationalization associated with the plant shut downs.

2005 ACQUISITIONS The Company completed the acquisition of Security Group, Inc. (‘‘Security Group’’) on January 4, 2005 and acquired certain assets and liabilities of Rolatape Corporation (‘‘Rolatape’’) as of March 11, 2005 for a combined cost of $57.4 million. Security Group manufactures and distributes locking devices, lock parts and safes in the United States and Europe. Rolatape, a small-bolt on to the 2004 CST / Berger acquisition, designs, manufactures and distributes measuring wheels in professional survey, construction and industrial channels. In January 2005, the Company acquired Eastern Vault & Security Limited (‘‘EVS’’), a small distributor of electronic security products and services primarily to financial institutions in Canada for $1.3 million, which was immediately integrated into the Frisco Bay business. On May 12, 2005, the Company acquired Sielox Security Systems Pty Ltd (‘‘Sielox’’) for $6.3 million. Sielox is an Australian-based security integrator that provides security systems for new construction environments such as prisons, major apartment and

office projects, and provides the Company a footprint in the Australian security markets. Precision Hardware, Inc. (‘‘Precision’’) was acquired on May 24, 2005 for a purchase price of $41.5 million. Precision manufactures and distributes exit devices, door closers and security hardware in the United States and provides a complementary product line to the Company’s existing mechanical access business. The Company completed the acquisition of ABZ Verwaltungs, Beteiligungs and Handels Gmbh along with a remaining 50% interest in Chicago Steel Tape Gmbh (collectively ‘‘ABZ’’) on September 6, 2005 for $3.3 million. ABZ, based in Germany, develops and produces surveying technology and equipment. On September 30, 2005, Pinnacle Electronic Systems, Inc. (‘‘Pinnacle’’) was acquired for $5.1 million. Pinnacle is a full-service electronic security integrator specializing in correctional facilities in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. On November 30, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of National Manufacturing Co. (‘‘National’’) for $174.3 million. National is a leading North American manufacturer and supplier of builders’ hardware that markets the majority of its product range through the two-step cooperative channel to the builder trade and serves over 25,000 outlets with manufacturing operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

The total purchase price of $289.2 million for the 2005 acquisitions reflects transaction costs and is net of cash acquired. Amounts allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates of fair value. Adjustments to reflect the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are complete for the 2005 acquisitions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2005 acquisitions in the aggregate:

The purchase price allocation above includes a $6.9 million hold-back note payable that was issued in conjunction with the Security Group acquisition which was repaid in quarterly installments during 2005.

The weighted average useful lives assigned to the amortizable assets identified above are trade names – 8 years; customer relationships – 9 years; patents and technology – 8 years; and other intangible assets – 2 years. The amount allocated to trade names includes $17.9 million, $9.2 million and $0.9 million associated with the National, Security Group and Rolatape acquisitions, respectively, which have been determined to have indefinite lives. Goodwill associated with the 2005 acquisitions that is deductible for tax purposes totals $25.8 million.

In connection with its acquisitions of Security Group and Precision Hardware, the Company recorded $3.3 million of restructuring reserves in the purchase price allocation comprised of $2.5 million of

severance and $0.8 million of lease and building exit costs. Of this amount, $2.9 million has been utilized to date with $0.4 million accrual remaining as of December 30, 2006.

PRO FORMA EARNINGS FOR ACQUISITIONS The information for 2006, 2005 and 2004 set forth below reflects the pro forma consolidated results as if the 2006, 2005, and 2004 acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 2004. Non-recurring expenses of the acquired companies have been eliminated, while the effects of the Company’s inventory step-up charges and increased intangible asset amortization expense have been added to the results below. Operating results for the acquisitions during these pre-acquisition periods are not necessarily indicative of future results.

In December 2005, the Company amended its committed 5 year revolving credit agreement, increasing the size from $400 million to $550 million; this includes provisions that allow designated subsidiaries to borrow up to $250 million in Euros and Pounds Sterling. The credit agreement maturity is October 2009. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum.

In addition, the Company has short-term lines of credit with numerous banks aggregating $251.4 million, of which $190.9 million was available at December 30, 2006. Short-term arrangements are reviewed annually for renewal. The aggregate long-term and short-term lines amounted to $801.4 million. The Company’s $550 million committed credit facility is designated as a liquidity back-stop for its commercial paper program. The Company increased its commercial paper program from $400.0 million to $550.0 million in December 2006. The weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were 4.7% and 4.2%, respectively. In November 2005, the Company issued $450.1 million of junior subordinated debt securities to The Stanley Works Capital Trust I (‘‘Trust’’), with a 40-year term and a fixed initial coupon rate of 5.902% for the first five years. The Trust, which is not consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R, obtained the funds it loaned to the Company through the capital market sale of $450.0 million of Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities (‘‘ETPS’’) and through the sale of $0.1 million in Trust Common Securities to the Company. The obligations, tenor and terms of the ETPS mirror those of the junior subordinated debt securities. The securities may be redeemed after five years without penalty. If not redeemed after 5 years, the coupon rate will reset quarterly to 1.4% plus the

highest of 3-month LIBOR, the 10-Year US Treasury CMT or the 30-Year US Treasury CMT, limited to a maximum rate of 13.25%. Net proceeds of the issuance were used to partially finance the acquisitions of Facom (January 1, 2006) and National (November 30, 2005).

To manage interest costs and to better match financial obligations to sources of operating cash flows, the Company maintains a portfolio of swap agreements. See Note J Financial Instruments for more information regarding the Company’s interest rate and currency swap agreements.

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the years from 2007 to 2011 are $230.3 million, $14.6 million, $5.0 million, $6.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Interest paid during 2006, 2005, and 2004 amounted to $70.3 million, $38.9 million, and $39.0 million, respectively.

Included in Short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, is commercial paper of $31.1 million and $105.7 million, respectively.

The Company assumed $29 million of debt in the Blick and Frisco Bay acquisitions. As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the remaining balance of the U.K. loan notes related to the Blick acquisition was $1.5 million and $20.4 million, respectively, which is reflected in the current portion of long-term debt.

In 2005, the Company paid $70.6 million to purchase 2.5 million shares of common stock, settling the remaining portion of the common stock equity hedge forward contracts that were amended in June 2003. The notional principal balance of $70.6 million as of January 1, 2005 had been recognized as debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the 2.5 million underlying shares were excluded from the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. Refer to Note K, Capital Stock, for further details on the extinguished equity hedge contracts.

The Company’s objectives in using debt and foreign currency related financial instruments are to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed-rate debt proportions, to better match financial obligations to sources of operating cash flows, and to minimize the foreign exchange risks arising from cross-border cash flows. To meet these risk management objectives, the Company enters into interest rate swap and currency swap agreements, purchased currency options and foreign exchange contracts. Derivative instruments are not employed for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and hedge accounting is applied based on the criteria specified in SFAS No. 133, ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’’, whereby management designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges.

CASH FLOW HEDGES Purchased currency options and foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge multi-currency inter-company and trade cash flows expected to occur over the next one year period. The objective of these instruments is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. In addition, interest rate swaps are utilized to create a fixed rate liability, to achieve the targeted mix of fixed versus floating rate debt.

Forward contracts: At December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, forward contracts hedging inter-company transactions totaled $72.8 million and $84.3 million, respectively. These foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone, Euro, Japanese Yen, Great Britain Pound, New Zealand Dollars, South African Rand, Swiss Franc, Swedish Krona, Taiwanese Dollars and Thai Baht. The aggregate fair value of these forward contracts as of December 30, 2006 is a $0.9 million gain that is recorded in Other Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Interest rate swaps: The Company has executed interest rate swaps to exchange the floating rate rent associated with two of its major distribution centers to a fixed rent amount. At December 30, 2006, the aggregate fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps is a net gain of $0.4 million as reflected in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In November 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swaps prior to the issuance of its Enhanced Trust Preferred Security (‘‘ETPS’’) with an aggregate notional value of $300 million. These

swaps were used to mitigate interest rate volatility relative to the 5 year Treasury rate by effectively fixing the ETPS 5 year rate. The interest rate swaps had original maturity dates of November 2010, which matched the end of the fixed rate ETPS term. As planned, the swaps were terminated at the time of the ETPS issuance resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million, which was reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet; this loss is being amortized to interest expense over a period of five years.

Additionally, in 2005 the Company entered into a thirty year floating to fixed interest rate swap with a notional value of $150 million. The swap hedged the interest rate exposure associated with the forecasted refinancing of the $150 million 3.5% bonds maturing November 2007. During 2006 the swap was terminated, resulting in a $5.9 million gain before tax. The termination of this financial instrument is consistent with the Company’s risk management objective to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed rate interest rate proportions. The gain arising from the swap termination is reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will be amortized to future earnings.

Cross currency swaps: The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various inter-company transactions whereby the notional values were denominated in currencies (United States Dollar, Euro and Canadian Dollar) other than the functional currencies of the party executing the trade (United States Dollar and Euro). In order to better match the cash flows of its inter-company obligations with cash flows from operations, the Company entered into cross currency swaps. The swaps have an aggregate United States Dollar notional value of $266.3 million and maturity dates ranging from December 2007 to November 2010. At December 30, 2006, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s cross currency swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges, was a net loss of $38.5 million as reflected in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For derivative instruments that are so designated at inception and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a separate component of Shareowners’ Equity, and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss, if any, is immediately recognized in the same caption where the hedged items are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, generally Other-net. There is a $4.4 million after-tax gain reported for cash flow hedge effectiveness in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as of December 30, 2006. Any gain or loss on these instruments at maturity will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged transactions occur in the years 2007 through 2010. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of the hedged currencies (United States Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound and Canadian Dollar) through the maturity dates. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, $25.7 million, ($12.7) million and $14.3 million pertaining to cash flow hedges was reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into earnings during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings; due to the effectiveness of these instruments in matching the underlying on a net basis there was no significant earnings impact.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the Company recognizes the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in earnings in the same caption where the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item is recognized in the current period.

Cross currency swaps: The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various inter-company transactions where the notional values are denominated in currencies (United States Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and Great Britain Pound) other than the functional currencies of the party executing the trade (United States Dollar, Great Britain Pound and Euro). In order to better match the cash flows of its inter-company obligations with cash flows from operations, the Company entered into various cross currency swaps. The swaps have an aggregate United States Dollar notional value of $350.0 million with maturity dates ranging from December 2007 to September 2010. At December 30, 2006 the aggregate fair value of the Company’s cross currency swaps that were designated as fair value hedges, was a net loss of $14.3 million as reflected in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGE The Company utilizes net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from remeasuring its investment in the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a component of Shareowners’ Equity.

In February 2004, the Company entered into a cross currency swap with a United States Dollar notional value of $45.4 million to hedge its net investment in Great Britain Pound assets. The Company pays Great Britain Pounds and receives United States Dollars using fixed interest rates, offsetting the translation adjustment of its net investment in Great Britain Pound assets. This swap has a maturity date of February 2014. At December 30, 2006, the fair value of this currency swap was a loss of $5.2 million and is recorded in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the pre-tax loss on the net investment hedge included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is $5.5 million.

In February 2006, the Company entered into a cross currency swap maturing December 2006, with a United States Dollar notional value of $100 million to hedge its net investment in Euro assets. The Company pays Euros and receives United States Dollars using fixed interest rates, offsetting the translation adjustment of its net investment in Euro assets. At maturity, the derivative contract was settled and a pre-tax loss of $10.1 million on this initial contract was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. In December 2006, the Company entered into another cross currency swap with a notional value of $100 million and a maturity of December 2009 to continue to hedge its net investment of Euro assets. The Company paid Euros and received United States Dollars using fixed interest rates, offsetting the translation adjustment of its net investment in Euro assets. At December 30, 2006, the fair value of this currency swap was a loss of $0.5 million as reported in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the loss on the net investment hedge included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss was $0.5 million before taxes.

UNDESIGNATED HEDGES Purchased currency options and foreign exchange forward contracts are used to reduce exchange risks arising from cross-border cash flows expected to occur over the next one year period. The objective of these practices is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results.

At December 30, 2006, forward contracts hedging intercompany transactions totaled $139.2 million. These foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone, Euro, Japanese Yen, Great Britain Pound, New Zealand Dollars, Polish Zloty, South African Rand, Swiss Franc, Swedish Krona, Taiwanese Dollars and Thai Baht. The contracts mature in less than one year. The aggregate fair value of these forward contracts is a $0.2 million loss that is recorded in Other Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

HEDGE EFFECTIVENESS For forward contracts and cross currency swaps designated as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges, the Company measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. The ineffective portion, if any, of the hedge is recognized in earnings immediately. Hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for 2006, 2005 and 2004.

For interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the Company measures the hedging effectiveness by offsetting the change in the variable portion of the interest rate swap with the change in the expected interest flows due to fluctuations in the LIBOR based interest rate.

The counterparties to all of the above mentioned financial instruments are major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for net exchanges under these agreements, but not for the notional amounts. The risk of default is considered remote.

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 follow:


	2006								2005

The fair values of long-term debt instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The fair values of foreign currency and interest rate swap agreements are based on current settlement values. The carrying amount of cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximates fair value.

WEIGHTED-AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING Weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for each year were as follows:

COMMON STOCK SHARE ACTIVITY Common stock share activity for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

COMMON STOCK RESERVED Common stock shares reserved for issuance under various employee and director stock plans at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are as follows:

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS Each outstanding share of common stock has one half of a share purchase right. Each purchase right may be exercised to purchase one two-hundredth

of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $220.00, subject to adjustment. The rights, which do not have voting rights, expire on March 10, 2016, and may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per right at any time prior to the tenth day following the public announcement that a person has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock. In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction, provision shall be made so that each holder of a right (other than a holder who is a 14.9%-or-more shareowner) shall have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof, that number of shares of common stock of the surviving Company having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. Similarly, if anyone becomes the beneficial owner of more than 15% of the then outstanding shares of common stock (except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of common stock which the independent directors have deemed to be fair and in the best interest of the Company), provision will be made so that each holder of a right (other than a holder who is a 14.9%-or-more shareowner) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. At December 30, 2006 there were 40,920,814 outstanding rights. There are 250,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock reserved for issuance in connection with the rights.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has stock-based compensation plans for salaried employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The plans provide for discretionary grants of stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. The plans are generally administered by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of non-employee directors.

Stock Options: Stock options are granted at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and have a 10 year term. Generally, stock option grants vest ratably between one and four years from the date of grant. The expense for stock options granted to retirement eligible employees (those aged 55 and over and with 10 or more years of service) is recognized by the date they became retirement eligible, or on the date of grant if they are already retirement eligible, as such employees may retain their options for the 10 year contractual term in the event they retire prior to the end of the vesting period stipulated in the grant.

The following describes how certain assumptions affecting the estimated fair value of stock options are determined: the dividend yield is computed as the annualized dividend rate at the date of grant divided by the strike price of the stock option; expected volatility is based on an average of the market implied volatility and historical volatility for the 5 year expected life; the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected life of the option; and an eight percent forfeiture rate is assumed. The Company uses historical data in order to estimate exercise, termination and holding period behavior for valuation purposes.

At December 30, 2006, the range of exercise prices on outstanding stock options was $19.34 to $51.84. Stock option expense was $8.2 million for the year ended December 30, 2006. No stock option expense was recognized in the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 because under APB 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options when the quoted market price of the

stock at the grant date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting period.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively: dividend yield of 2.4%, 2.4%, and 2.6%; expected volatility of 26%, 27% and 20%; and risk-free interest rates of 4.2%, 4.4% and 3.3%. An expected life of 5 years was used in each period and a weighted average vesting period of 2.3 years in 2006 and 2.5 years in 2005 and 2004. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $12.03, $11.44 and $6.76, respectively.

At December 30, 2006, the Company had $14.1 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense for stock options. This expense will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods which is 1.6 years on a weighted average basis.

For 2006, the Company received $57.7 million in cash from the exercise of stock options. The related tax benefit from the exercise of these options is $12.9 million. During 2006, 2005 and 2004 the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $35.5 million, $23.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively. When options are exercised, the related shares are issued from treasury stock.

SFAS 123R requires the benefit arising from tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be classified as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow as all such tax benefits were classified under earlier accounting guidance. To quantify the recognized compensation cost on which the excess tax benefit is computed, both actual compensation expense recorded following the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and pro-forma compensation cost reported in disclosures under the previous SFAS 123 standard in earlier periods is considered. An excess tax benefit is generated on the extent to which the actual gain, or spread, an optionee receives upon exercise of an option exceeds the fair value determined at the grant date; that excess spread over the fair value of the option times the applicable tax rate represents the excess tax benefit. In 2006, the Company reported $4.1 million of excess tax benefits as a financing cash flow.

Outstanding and exercisable stock option information at December 30, 2006 follows:

Restricted Share Units: Compensation cost for restricted share units (‘‘RSU’s’’) granted to employees is recognized ratably over the vesting term, which varies but is generally 4 years. Non-employee members of the Board of Directors receive payment for their service on the Board in the form of RSU’s which are expensed immediately. RSU grants totaled 169,675 shares, 122,891 shares, and 107,293 shares in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSU’s granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $49.28, $47.28 and $40.17 per share, respectively. Total compensation expense recognized for RSU’s amounted to $4.1 million, $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively; and the related tax benefit recorded was $1.0 million, $0.6 and $0.6 million, respectively, in 2006, 2005 and 2004. As of December 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense for RSU’s amounted to $9.5 million and this cost will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

A summary of non-vested restricted stock unit activity as of December 30, 2006, and changes during the twelve month period then ended is as follows:

The total fair value of shares vested (market value on the date vested) during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $5.2 million, $0.7 million, and $8.9 million, respectively.

Additionally, non-employee members of the Board of Directors received restricted share-based grants which must be cash settled and accordingly mark-to-market accounting is applied. The after-tax expense recognized for such grants amounted to $0.8 million in 2006, $0.6 million in 2005 and $0.4 million in 2004.

Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan: The Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (‘‘LTSIP’’) provides for grants of awards to senior management employees for achieving Company performance measures, specifically earnings per share and return on capital employed. Awards are payable in shares of common stock, which may be restricted if the employee has not achieved certain stock ownership levels, and generally no award is made if the employee terminates employment prior to the payout date. There are three award cycles in progress: one for the two and one half year period ending in December, 2006, the second for the three year period ending in December, 2007, and the third for the three year period ending in December, 2008. The ultimate issuance of shares, if any, is determined based on performance over the three year cycle. The Company has accrued for the expected issuance of shares based on estimates of future performance in relation to the targets. Expense recognized for the LTSIP plans amounted to $7.4 million in 2006, $6.4 million in 2005 and $1.6 million in 2004.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (‘‘ESPP’’) enables substantially all employees in the United States and Canada to subscribe at any time to purchase shares of common stock on a monthly basis at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date ($40.37 per share for fiscal year 2006 purchases) or 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the last business day of each month. A maximum of 6,000,000 shares are authorized for subscription. During 2006, 2005 and 2004 shares totaling 64,590, 96,683 and 118,544, respectively, were issued under the plan at average prices of $39.26, $33.19 and $26.78 per share, respectively and the intrinsic value of the ESPP purchases was $0.6 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For 2006, the Company received $2.6 million in cash from ESPP purchases, and there is no related tax benefit. The fair value of ESPP shares was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. ESPP compensation cost is recognized ratably over the one year term based on actual employee stock purchases under the plan and amounted to $0.5 million in 2006. The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the ESPP was estimated using the following assumptions for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively: dividend yield of 2.4%, 2.4% and 3.1%; expected volatility of 23%, 27% and 20%; risk-free interest rates of 4.3%, 2.4% and 2.2%; and expected lives of one year. The weighted average fair value of those purchase rights granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $9.70, $11.15 and $7.03, respectively.

If compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’, net earnings and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:


(Millions of Dollars, except for per share data)	2005			2004
Net earnings, as reported		$	269.6		$	366.9
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported income			6.4			4.1
Less: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method, net of related tax effects			12.0			10.8
Pro forma net earnings, fair value method		$	264.0		$	360.2
Earnings per share:
Basic, as reported		$	3.23		$	4.47
Basic, pro forma		$	3.17		$	4.39
Diluted, as reported		$	3.16		$	4.36
Diluted, pro forma		$	3.09		$	4.28

Compensation cost relating to the stock based compensation grants made in 2005 and earlier periods is recognized ratably over the vesting period using the accelerated method. Effective with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, expense for new grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense for retiree eligible employees (those aged 55 and over and with 10 or more years of service) is recognized by the date they became retirement eligible, as such employees may retain their options for the 10 year contractual term in the event they retire prior to the end of the vesting period stipulated in the grant.

COMMON STOCK EQUITY HEDGE The Company previously entered into equity hedges, in the form of equity forwards on its common shares, to offset the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options on earnings per share and to reduce potential cash outflow for the repurchase of the Company’s stock to offset stock option exercises. Under the former equity hedge contracts, when the price of the Company’s common stock appreciated since the last quarterly interim settlement, the Company received its common shares from the counterparties. When the price of the Company stock depreciated since the last quarterly interim settlement, the Company delivered its common stock from treasury shares to the counterparties. Interim quarterly settlements were in shares of common stock, not cash, and were accounted for within equity. In April 2003, the Company settled $100 million of the contracts through a cash repurchase of 3.9 million underlying shares at that time. In June 2003, the remaining $113 million in the Company’s common stock equity hedge forward contracts were modified to full physical settlement contracts with a fixed notional principal of $113 million and 4.1 million of underlying shares. As discussed in Note I Long-term Debt and Financing Arrangements, all remaining outstanding principal was repaid during 2005.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss at the end of each fiscal year was as follows:

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (‘‘ESOP ’’) Substantially all U.S. employees may contribute from 1% to 15% of their eligible compensation to a tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan, subject to restrictions under tax laws. Employees generally direct the investment of their own contributions into various investment funds. An employer match benefit is provided under the plan equal to one-half of each employee’s tax-deferred contribution up to the first 7% of their compensation. Half of the employer match benefit is invested in the Company’s common stock while the investment of the other half is directed by the employee. Effective January 1, 2007, participants will direct the entire employer match such that no participant is required to hold the Company’s common stock in their 401(k) account. The employer match benefit totaled $7.9 million, $8.3 million and $7.3 million, in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In addition, approximately 4,000 U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees receive a non-contributory benefit under the Cornerstone plan. Cornerstone benefit allocations range from 3% to 9% of eligible employee compensation based on age. Approximately 1,500 U.S. employees receive an additional average 1.7% contribution actuarially designed to replace previously curtailed pension benefits. Allocations for benefits earned under the Cornerstone plan were $13.2 million in 2006, $12.3 million in 2005 and $12.6 million in 2004. Assets held in participant Cornerstone accounts are invested in a broad-based U.S. equity security index fund and U.S. government bonds.

Shares of the Company’s common stock held by the ESOP were purchased with the proceeds of external borrowings in 1989 and borrowings from the Company in 1991 (‘‘1991 internal loan’’). The external ESOP borrowings are guaranteed by the Company and are included in long-term debt. Shareowners’ equity reflects a reduction equal to the cost basis of unearned (unallocated) shares purchased with the internal and the external borrowings.

The Company accounts for the ESOP under Statement of Position (‘‘SOP’’) 76-3, ‘‘Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans’’, as affected by the Emerging Issues Task Force (‘‘EITF’’) 89-8, ‘‘Expense Recognition for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.’’ Net ESOP activity recognized is comprised of the cost basis of shares released, the cost of the aforementioned Cornerstone and 401(k) match defined contribution benefits, interest expense on the external 1989 borrowing, less the fair value of shares released and dividends on unallocated ESOP shares. Net ESOP expense was $2.4 million in 2006, $2.1 million in 2005 and $2.2 million in 2004. ESOP expense is affected by the market value of the Company’s common stock on the monthly dates when shares are released. The market value of shares released averaged $49.28 per share in 2006, $46.41 in 2005 and $43.20 in 2004.

Unallocated shares are released from the trust based on current period debt principal and interest payments as a percentage of total future debt principal and interest payments. Dividends on both allocated and unallocated shares may be used for debt service and to credit participant accounts for dividends earned on allocated shares. Dividends paid on the shares acquired with the 1991 internal loan were used solely to pay internal loan debt service in all periods. Dividends on ESOP shares, which are charged to shareowners’ equity as declared, were $11.7 million in 2006, $12.1 million in 2005 and $12.2 million in 2004. Dividends on ESOP shares were utilized entirely for debt service in all years. Interest costs incurred by the ESOP on the 1989 external debt in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Interest costs incurred by the ESOP on the 1991 internal loan, which have no earnings impact, were $9.2 million, $9.5 million and $9.7 million for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Both allocated and unallocated ESOP shares are treated as outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. As of December 30, 2006, the number of ESOP shares allocated to participant accounts was 4,185,747 and the number of unallocated shares was 5,458,285. At December 30, 2006, there were 33,205 released shares in the ESOP trust holding account pending allocation. The Company made cash contributions to the ESOP totaling $11.2 million in 2006, $13.3 million in 2005 and $10.2 million in 2004.

PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS The Company sponsors pension plans covering most domestic hourly and certain executive employees, and approximately 7,500 foreign employees.

Benefits are generally based on salary and years of service, except for U.S. collective bargaining employees whose benefits are based on a stated amount for each year of service.

The Company contributes to multi-employer plans for certain collective bargaining U.S. employees. In addition, various other defined contribution plans are sponsored worldwide. The expense for such defined contribution plans, aside from the earlier discussed ESOP plans, follows.

The Company provides medical and dental benefits for certain retired employees in the United States. In addition, certain U.S. employees who retire from active service are eligible for life insurance benefits. Net periodic postretirement benefit expense was $2.7 million in 2006, $2.0 million in 2005 and $1.8 million in 2004.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $428.1 million at December 30, 2006 and $372.9 million at December 31, 2005. Information regarding pension plans in which accumulated benefit obligations exceed plan assets follows:

Information regarding pension plans in which projected benefit obligations (inclusive of anticipated future compensation increases) exceed plan assets follows:

The Company adopted SFAS 158 as of December 30, 2006. The impact from recognizing the funded status of the defined benefit plans, representing the fair value of the plan assets versus the projected benefit obligation, was a decrease to Shareowners’ Equity of $61.1 million, net of a $26.7 million tax benefit. The Company uses a fiscal year end date to value all its plans. The following table summarizes the impact of adopting SFAS 158 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 30, 2006:

The major assumptions used in valuing pension and post-retirement plan obligations and net costs were as follows:


	Pension Benefits												Other Benefits
	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans						U.S. Plans
	2006			2005			2006			2005			2006			2005
Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at year end:
Discount rate		5.75	%		5.5	%		4.75	%		5.0	%		5.25	%		5.5	%
Rate of compensation increase		6.0	%		5.5	%		3.75	%		3.75	%		5.75	%		4.0	%
Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost:
Discount rate		5.5	%		5.75	%		5.0	%		5.25	%		5.5	%		6.0	%
Rate of compensation increase		5.5	%		6.0	%		3.75	%		3.75	%		4.0	%		4.0	%
Expected return on plan assets		8.0	%		7.75	%		7.0	%		7.5	%		—			—

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined considering the returns projected for the various asset classes and the relative weighting for each asset class as reflected in the target asset allocation below. In addition the Company considers historical performance, the opinions of outside actuaries and other data in developing benchmark returns.

The amounts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs during the next fiscal year total $9.5 million, representing amortization of $7.8 million of actuarial loss, $1.4 million of prior service cost and $0.3 million of net transition assets.

PENSION PLAN ASSETS Plan assets are invested in equity securities, bonds and other fixed income securities, money market instruments and insurance contracts. The Company’s weighted-average worldwide actual asset allocations at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 by asset category are as follows:

The Company’s investment strategy for pension plan assets includes diversification to minimize interest and market risks, and generally does not involve the use of derivative financial instruments. Plan assets are rebalanced periodically to maintain target asset allocations. Maturities of investments are not necessarily related to the timing of expected future benefit payments, but adequate liquidity to make immediate and medium term benefit payments is ensured.

CONTRIBUTIONS The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits in accordance with federal law and other regulations. The Company expects to contribute approximately $17 million to its pension plans and its other postretirement benefit plan in 2007.

EXPECTED FUTURE BENEFIT PAYMENTS Benefit payments, inclusive of amounts attributable to estimated future employee service, are expected to be paid as follows over the next 10 years:

These benefit payments will be funded through a combination of existing plan assets and amounts to be contributed in the future by the Company.

HEALTH CARE COST TRENDS The weighted average annual assumed rate of increase in the per-capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) is assumed to be 10.0% for 2006, reducing gradually to 6.0% by 2014 and remaining at that level thereafter. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have an immaterial effect on the net periodic postretirement benefit cost and the postretirement benefit obligation as of December 30, 2006.

Other-net is primarily comprised of intangible asset amortization expense, gains and losses on asset dispositions, currency impact, environmental expense and net expenses related to the Mac Tools extended financing programs, mainly financing receivable losses and interest income.

Research and development costs were $15.3 million, $14.5 million and $13.2 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

At December 30, 2006, the restructuring and asset impairment reserve balance was $63.1 million, which the Company expects to be fully expended by the end of 2007. A summary of the Company’s restructuring reserve activity from December 31, 2005 to December 30, 2006 is as follows (in millions):

2005 Actions: During 2005, the Company initiated a $5.7 million cost reduction in various businesses, of which $4.6 million was recorded in 2005 and $1.1 million was recorded during 2006. The action was comprised of the severance of 170 employees and the exit of a leased facility. Of this amount, $5.0 million has been utilized to date with $0.7 million of accrual remaining as of December 30, 2006. Approximately $4.0 million of this charge pertained to the Security segment; $0.4 million to the Industrial segment; and $1.3 million to the CDIY segment.

Pre-2005 Actions: In the fourth quarter of 2004, the company recorded $7.7 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges – $4 million of restructuring costs in connection with specific personnel actions to streamline/reposition certain organizations primarily in the CDIY and Security segments; and $3.7 million of asset impairment charges primarily associated with a 2004 information system strategy decision. As of December 31, 2005, the accrual was fully expended. In addition, as of December 30, 2006, $1.2 million of reserves remain relating to pre-2004 actions.

The Company reports the following three segments: Construction and Do-It-Yourself (‘‘CDIY’’), Industrial and Security. The CDIY segment manufactures and markets hand tools, storage systems, fastening systems and laser leveling and measuring tools, as these products are principally utilized in construction and do-it-yourself projects. These products are sold primarily to professional end users and distributed through retailers (including home centers, mass merchants, hardware stores, and retail lumber yards). The Industrial segment manufactures and markets professional mechanics and hand tools, storage systems, assembly tools and systems, and hydraulic tools. These products are sold to industrial customers and distributed primarily through third party distributors as well as direct sales forces. The Security segment is a provider of access and security solutions primarily for retailers, educational, financial and healthcare institutions, as well as commercial, governmental and industrial customers. The Company provides an extensive suite of mechanical and convergent security products and systems, and a variety of security services including commercial security monitoring services, electronic integration systems, software, related installation and maintenance services, automatic doors, door closers, exit devices, hardware and locking mechanisms.

The Company utilizes segment profit, which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit excludes the corporate overhead expense element of SG&A, interest income, interest expense, other-net (inclusive of intangible asset amortization

expense), restructuring, and income tax expense. Refer to Note O Restructuring and Asset Impairments for the amount of restructuring charges and asset impairments by segment, and to Note G Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for intangible amortization expense by segment. Corporate overhead is comprised of world headquarters facility expense, costs for the executive management team and for certain centralized functions that benefit the entire company but are not directly attributable to the businesses, such as legal and corporate finance functions. Transactions between segments are not material. Segment assets primarily include accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other miscellaneous assets. Corporate assets and unallocated assets are cash, deferred income taxes and certain other assets. Geographic net sales and long-lived assets are attributed to the geographic regions based on the geographic location of each Company subsidiary.

The following information excludes the appliance hinge, U.K. decorator tools, home décor and German paint roller businesses, which are classified as discontinued operations as disclosed in Note T Discontinued Operations, unless otherwise noted.

In connection with its recent acquisitions, the Company recorded $21.6 million in cost of sales (‘‘inventory step-up amortization’’) during 2006 related to the initial turn of acquired inventory which was written-up in purchase accounting to its fair market value. This non-cash inventory step-up amortization amounted to $0.4 million in the CDIY segment, $12.9 million in the Industrial segment, and $8.3 million in the Security segment.

Sales to The Home Depot were approximately 10%, 12% and 13% of consolidated net sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, excluding the discontinued operations businesses discussed in Note T Discontinued Operations. For 2006, 2005 and 2004 net sales to this one customer amounted to 18%, 19% and 20% of segment net sales, respectively, for the CDIY segment, and 7%, 8% and 11%, respectively, for the Security segment, and less than one percent in each applicable year for the Industrial segment.

Net Deferred Tax Liabilities before Valuation Allowance		$	7.7		$	33.5
Valuation allowance		$	26.8		$	27.2
Net Deferred Tax Liabilities after Valuation Allowance		$	34.5		$	60.7

Valuation allowances reduced the deferred tax asset attributable to foreign and state loss carry-forwards to the amount that, based upon all available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized. Reversal of the valuation allowance is contingent upon the recognition of future taxable income and capital gains in specific foreign countries and specific states, or changes in circumstances which cause the recognition of the benefits to become more likely than not. The foreign and state loss carry-forwards expire in various years beginning in 2007.

The classification of deferred taxes as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is as follows:

Income tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations consisted of the following:

Income taxes paid during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $104.5 million, $112.8 million and $125.4 million, respectively. During 2006, the Company had tax holidays with Thailand and China. Tax holidays resulted in a $3.1 million reduction in tax expense in 2006, a $1.7 million reduction in tax expense in 2005 and $3.0 million in 2004. The tax holiday in Thailand is in place until 2010 while the tax holiday in China varies between 2009 and 2015.

The reconciliation of federal income tax at the statutory federal rate to income tax at the effective rate for continuing operations is as follows:

Income taxes		$	76.4			$	86.5			$	87.3

The components of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes consisted of the following:

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where the statutory rates are lower. The Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company evaluates the likelihood of unfavorable adjustments arising from the examinations and believes adequate provisions have been made in the income tax provision.

Undistributed foreign earnings of $436.7 million at December 30, 2006 are considered to be invested indefinitely or will be remitted substantially free of additional tax. Accordingly, no provision has been

made for taxes that might be payable upon remittance of such earnings, nor is it practicable to determine the amount of this liability.

The American Jobs Creation Act, the ‘‘Act’’, enacted on October 22, 2004 created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing for an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. In 2005, Stanley’s Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors approved a domestic reinvestment plan as required by the ‘‘Act’’ to repatriate $249.6 million in foreign earnings in fiscal 2005. Stanley recorded $15.6 million in tax expense related to this $249.6 million dividend. All repatriations under the ‘‘Act’’ were completed by December 31, 2005.

COMMITMENTS The Company has non-cancelable operating lease agreements, principally related to facilities, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Minimum payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $3.4 million due in the future under non-cancelable subleases. In addition, the Company is a party to synthetic leasing programs which qualify as operating leases, for two of its major distribution centers. Rental expense, net of sublease income, for operating leases was $51.3 million in 2006, $41.4 million in 2005 and $38.7 million in 2004.

Outsourcing and other commitments are comprised of: $17.4 million for outsourcing arrangements, primarily related to information systems and telecommunications; $13.7 million in marketing obligations; and $0.7 million of cash funding commitments pertaining to the Company’s U.S. ESOP.

Following is a summary of the future commitments for lease obligations, outsourcing and other arrangements:

The Company has numerous assets, predominantly vehicles and equipment, under a one-year term renewable U.S. master personal property lease. Residual value obligations under this master lease were $29.2 million at December 30, 2006 while the fair value of the underlying assets was approximately $33.6 million. The U.S. master personal property lease obligations are not reflected in the future minimum lease payments since the initial and remaining term does not exceed one year. The Company routinely exercises various lease renewal options and from time to time purchases leased assets for fair value at the end of lease terms.

The Company is a party to synthetic leasing programs for two of its major distribution centers. The programs qualify as operating leases for accounting purposes, where only the monthly lease cost is recorded in earnings and the liability and value of underlying assets are off-balance sheet. As of December 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of assets and remaining obligations for these two properties were $61.0 million and $42.4 million, respectively.


(Millions of Dollars)	Term	Maximum Potential Payment			Carrying Amount of Liability
Financial guarantees as of December 30, 2006:
Guarantees on the residual values of leased properties	Up to 6 years		$	71.6		$	—
Standby letters of credit	Generally 1 year			28.0			—
Guarantee on the external Employee Stock Ownership Plan borrowings	Through 2009			4.8			4.8
Commercial customer financing arrangements	Up to 5 years			17.6			13.4
Government guarantees on employees	3 years from hire date			0.1			—
Total			$	122.1		$	18.2

The Company has guaranteed a portion of the residual value arising from its previously mentioned synthetic lease and U.S. master personal property lease programs. The lease guarantees aggregate $94.6 million while the fair value of the underlying assets is estimated at $71.6 million. The related assets would be available to satisfy the guarantee obligations and therefore it is unlikely the Company will incur any future loss associated with these lease guarantees.

The Company has issued $28.0 million in standby letters of credit that guarantee future payments which may be required under certain insurance programs. Shares of the Company’s common stock held by the ESOP were purchased with the proceeds of external borrowings in the 1980’s and borrowings from the Company in 1991. The external ESOP borrowings are guaranteed by the Company and are included in long-term debt. Shareowners’ equity reflects a reduction for the internal and external borrowings. The Company has sold various businesses and properties over many years and provided standard indemnification to the purchasers with respect to any unknown liabilities, such as environmental, which may arise in the future that are attributable to the time of the Company’s ownership. No liabilities have been recorded for these general indemnifications since there are no identified exposures. The Company provides various limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that provide financing to U.S. and Canadian Mac Tool distributors for their initial purchase of the inventory and truck necessary to function as a distributor. In addition, the Company provides a full recourse guarantee to a financial institution that extends credit to certain end retail customers of its U.S. Mac Tool distributors. The gross amount guaranteed in these arrangements is approximately $17.6 million and the $13.4 million fair value of the guarantees issued is recorded in debt and other liabilities as appropriate in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company provides product and service warranties which vary across its businesses. The types of warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime, while certain products carry no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available.

Following is a summary of the warranty liability activity for the years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability and workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

The Company recognizes liabilities for contingent exposures when analysis indicates it is both probable that an asset has been impaired or that a liability has been incurred and the amount of impairment or loss can reasonably be estimated. When a range of probable loss can be estimated, the Company accrues the most likely amount. In the event that no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims. In addition, the Company is a party to a number of proceedings before federal and state regulatory agencies relating to environmental remediation. Also, the Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a potentially responsible party (‘‘PRP’’) in a number of administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 15 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.

The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had reserves of $30.5 million and $21.3 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the 2006 amount, $9.2 million is classified as current and $21.3 million as long-term. The range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $24.6 million to $61.2 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with policy.

The environmental liability for certain sites that have cash payments that are fixed or reliably determinable have been discounted using a rate of 5.0%. The discounted and undiscounted amount of the liability relative to these sites is $5.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2006 and $5.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005. The payments relative to these sites are expected to be $1.0 million in 2007, $1.7 million in 2008, $1.0 million in 2009, $0.3 million in 2010, $0.3 million in 2011 and $3.8 million thereafter.

The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

During 2006, the Company disposed of two small businesses, the American appliance hinge and U.K. decorator tools businesses, for $1.9 million in cash. The related after-tax loss amounted to $1.1 million.

On December 4, 2004, the Company sold its home décor business for $87 million in a cash sale transaction, resulting in an after-tax gain of $24 million. On March 2, 2004, the Company sold its residential entry door business for $161 million in cash, and recognized a $95 million after-tax gain thereon. Also in 2004, the Company sold Friess, its German paint roller business for $6.4 million, and a loss of $3.6 million was recognized thereon.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets’’, the results of operations of the appliance hinge, U.K. decorator tools, home décor, residential entry door, and Friess businesses for the current and prior periods have been reported as discontinued operations. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the appliance hinge and U.K. decorator tools businesses were classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005. The divestures of these businesses were made pursuant to the Company’s growth strategy which entails a reduction of risk associated with certain large customer concentrations and better utilization of resources to increase shareowner value.

The American appliance hinge business supplied hardware used to manufacture household appliances. The U.K. decorator tools business manufactured brushes, rollers and other paint sundries supplied to various retailers. The home décor business supplied mirrored closet doors, closet organization products and wall décor products primarily through large retailers in North America and Europe. The residential entry door business manufactured and distributed steel and fiberglass entry doors and components throughout North America. The Friess business manufactured paint rollers in Germany and sold them into the private label market in continental Europe. Operating results of the U.K. decorator tools, home décor, residential entry door, and Friess businesses, which were formerly included in the CDIY segment, and the appliance hinge business, which was formerly included in the Security segment, are summarized as follows:
