TEXTRON INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc. consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation (TFC), its consolidated subsidiaries and three other finance subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.  Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services.  Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the consolidated financial statements.  All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group.

Note 2:  Special Charges

In 2010, special charges included restructuring costs incurred under a restructuring program that was completed at the end of 2010.  There were no special charges in the first quarter of 2011.

Restructuring costs by segment and type for the three months ended April 3, 2010 are as follows:

Total net compensation cost included in net income (loss)
  $ 23     $ 12  

Stock Options
The stock option compensation cost calculated under the fair value approach is recognized over the vesting period of the stock options.  The weighted-average fair value of options granted per share was $10 and $7 in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. We estimate the fair value of options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Expected volatilities consider implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock, historical volatilities and other factors.  We use historical data to estimate option exercise behavior, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in expected life.  The weighted-average assumptions used in our Black-Scholes option-pricing model for awards issued during the respective periods are as follows:

   
Three Months Ended

2010

Performance Share Units
The fair value of share-based compensation awards accounted for as liabilities includes performance share units.  The fair value of these awards is based on the trading price of our common stock, less adjustments to reflect the fair value of certain awards for which dividends are not paid or accrued until vested, and is remeasured at each reporting period date.  The 2011 activity for our performance share units is as follows:

Note 6:  Earnings Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity

Earnings Per Share
We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period.  Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends.  Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, including stock options, restricted stock units and the shares that could be issued upon the conversion of our 4.50% Convertible Notes and upon the exercise of the related warrants.  The convertible note call options purchased in connection with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Notes are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as their impact is always anti-dilutive.

Upon conversion of our 4.50% Convertible Notes, as described in Note 9, the principal amount would be settled in cash and the excess of the conversion value, as defined, over the principal amount may be settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock.  Therefore, only the shares of our common stock potentially issuable with respect to the excess of the notes’ conversion value over the principal amount, if any, are considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS.

The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

    42,761        
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding
    319,119       273,174  

Stock options to purchase 4 million and 7 million shares of common stock outstanding are excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively, as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock for the periods.  These securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.

For the three months ended April 3, 2010, the potential dilutive effect of 28 million weighted-average shares of Convertible Notes, warrants, stock options and restricted stock units was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss from continuing operations.

Credit Quality Indicators and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables
We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables held for investment portfolio based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to collateral value, the liquidity position of individual borrowers and guarantors, debt service coverage in the golf mortgage product line and default rates of our notes receivable collateral in the timeshare product line.  Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans/portfolios into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan.  These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual.

We classify finance receivables held for investment as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection is doubtful.  In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual that are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection is not doubtful.  Cash payments on nonaccrual accounts, including finance charges, generally are applied to reduce the net investment balance.  We resume the accrual of interest when the loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan or, if a loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the terms of the modification, provided we conclude that collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful.  Previously suspended interest income is recognized at that time.

Accounts are classified as watchlist when credit quality indicators have deteriorated as compared with typical underwriting criteria, and we believe collection of full principal and interest is probable but not certain.  All other finance receivables held for investment that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing.

A summary of finance receivables held for investment categorized based on the internally assigned credit quality indicators discussed above is as follows:

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our loans and leases.  In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due.  If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category.

At April 2, 2011, accrual status loans that were 90 days past due totaled $8 million.  We had no accrual status loans that were 90 days past due at January 1, 2011.  At April 2, 2011, the 60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables held for investment was 10.71%, compared with 9.77% at January 1, 2011.

Impaired Loans
We evaluate individual finance receivables held for investment in non-homogeneous portfolios and larger accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios for impairment on a quarterly basis.  Finance receivables classified as held for sale are reflected at the lower of cost or fair value and are excluded from these evaluations.

A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement based on our review of the credit quality indicators discussed above.  Impaired finance receivables include both nonaccrual accounts and accounts for which full collection of principal and interest remains probable, but the account’s original terms have been, or are expected to be, significantly modified.  If the modification specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than a market rate for a finance receivable with comparable risk, the account is not considered impaired in years subsequent to the modification.  No significant interest income was recognized on impaired loans in the first quarter of 2011 or 2010.

Allowance for Losses We maintain the allowance for losses on finance receivables held for investment at a level considered adequate to cover inherent losses in the portfolio based on management’s evaluation and analysis by product line.  For larger balance accounts specifically identified as impaired, including large accounts in homogeneous portfolios, a reserve is established based on comparing the carrying value with either a) the expected future cash flows, discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate; or b) the fair value, if the finance receivable is collateral dependent.  The expected future cash flows consider collateral value; financial performance and liquidity of our borrower; existence and financial strength of guarantors; estimated recovery costs, including legal expenses; and costs associated with the repossession/foreclosure and eventual disposal of collateral.  When there is a range of potential outcomes, we perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the outcomes based on their relative likelihood of occurrence.

The evaluation of our portfolios is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results.  While our analysis is specific to each individual account, the most critical factors included in this analysis vary by product line.  For the aviation product line, these factors include industry valuation guides, physical condition of the aircraft, payment history, and existence and financial strength of guarantors.  For the golf equipment line, the critical factors are the age and condition of the collateral, while the factors for the golf mortgage line include historical golf course, hotel or marina cash flow performance; estimates of golf rounds and price per round or occupancy and room rates; market discount and capitalization rates; and existence and financial strength of guarantors.  For the timeshare product line, the critical factors are the historical performance of consumer notes receivable collateral, real estate valuations, operating expenses of the borrower, the impact of bankruptcy court rulings on the value of the collateral, legal and other professional expenses and borrower’s access to capital.
 
We also establish an allowance for losses by product line to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the portfolio.  For homogeneous portfolios, including the aviation and golf equipment product lines, the allowance is established as a percentage of non-recourse finance receivables, which have not been identified as requiring specific reserves.  The percentage is based on a combination of factors, including historical loss experience, current delinquency and default trends, collateral values, and both general economic and specific industry trends.  For non-homogeneous portfolios, including the
13

 
golf mortgage and timeshare product lines, the allowance is established as a percentage of watchlist balances, as defined on page 11, which represents a combination of assumed default likelihood and loss severity based on historical experience, industry trends and collateral values.  In establishing our allowance for losses to cover accounts not specifically identified, the most critical factors for the aviation product line include the collateral value of the portfolio, historical default experience and delinquency trends; for golf equipment, factors considered include historical loss experience and delinquency trends;  and for golf mortgage, factors include an evaluation of individual loan credit quality indicators such as delinquency, loan balance to collateral value, debt service coverage, existence and financial strength of guarantors, historical progression from watchlist to nonaccrual status and historical loss severity.  For the timeshare product line, we evaluate individual loan credit quality indicators such as borrowing base shortfalls for revolving notes receivable facilities, default rates of our notes receivable collateral, borrower’s access to capital, historical progression from watchlist to nonaccrual status and estimates of loss severity based on analysis of impaired loans in the product line.

Finance receivables held for investment are written down to the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of the related collateral at the earlier of the date when the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received for six months unless management deems the receivable collectable.  Finance receivables are charged off when the remaining balance is deemed to be uncollectable.

A rollforward of the allowance for losses on finance receivables held for investment and a summary of its composition, based on how the underlying finance receivables are evaluated for impairment, is presented below.  The finance receivables reported in the following table specifically exclude $279 million and $283 million of leveraged leases at April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively, in accordance with authoritative accounting standards.

Note 9: Debt

On May 5, 2009, we issued $600 million of 4.5% Convertible Notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2013 and concurrently purchased call options to acquire our common stock and sold warrants to purchase our common stock for the purpose of reducing the potential dilutive effect to our shareholders and/or our cash outflow upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes.  For more information on these transactions, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Textron’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended March 31, 2011, our common stock price exceeded the $17.06 per share conversion threshold price set forth for these Convertible Notes.  Accordingly, the notes are convertible at the holder’s option through June 30, 2011.  We may deliver shares of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.  We intend to settle the face value of the Convertible Notes in cash.  Based on an April 2, 2011 stock price of $27.40, the "if converted value" exceeds the face amount of the notes by $652.6 million; however, after giving effect to the exercise of the call options and warrants, the incremental cash or share settlement in excess of the face amount would result in either a 19 million net share issuance or a cash payment of $532.6 million, or a combination of cash and stock, at our option.  We have continued to classify these Convertible Notes as long-term based on our intent and ability to maintain the debt outstanding for at least one year through the use of various funding sources available to us.

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability into a three-tier fair value hierarchy.  This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions.  Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1 and include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active are categorized as Level 2.  Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data.  These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of our derivative financial instruments, which are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  The notional and fair value amounts of these instruments that are designated as hedging instruments are provided below:

* Interest rate exchange contracts represent fair value hedges.

The fair values of derivative instruments for the Manufacturing group are included in either other current assets or accrued liabilities in our balance sheet.  For the Finance group, these instruments are included in either other assets or other liabilities.

The Finance group’s interest rate exchange contracts are not exchange traded and are measured at fair value utilizing widely accepted, third-party developed valuation models.  The actual terms of each individual contract are entered into a valuation model, along with interest rate and foreign exchange rate data, which is based on readily observable market data published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  Credit risk is factored into the fair value of these assets and liabilities based on the differential between both our credit default swap spread for liabilities and the counterparty’s credit default swap spread for assets as compared with a standard AA-rated counterparty; however, this had no significant impact on the valuation at April 2, 2011.

Foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique.  The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2.

Investments in other marketable securities represent investments in notes issued by securitization trusts that purchase timeshare notes receivables from timeshare developers and are classified as available for sale.  Fair value for these notes was determined based on bids received from prospective purchasers and observable market inputs for similar securitization interests in markets that are relatively inactive compared with the market environment in which they were originally issued.

Fair Value Hedges
Our Finance group enters into interest rate exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate receivables and debt due to fluctuations in interest rates.  By using these contracts, we are able to convert our fixed-rate cash flows to floating-rate cash flows.  The amount of ineffectiveness on our fair value hedges and the gain (loss) recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were both insignificant in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010.

Cash Flow Hedges
We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  The primary purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases of materials, foreign currency sales of products, and other assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.  We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts and purchased options with maturities of no more than 18 months that qualify as cash flow hedges. These are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses.  At April 2, 2011, we had a net deferred gain of $29 million in OCI related to these cash flow hedges.  As the underlying transactions occur, we expect to reclassify $15 million of after-tax gains into earnings in the next 12 months and $14 million of after-tax gains into earnings in the following 12-month period.

We hedge our net investment position in major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of net investments. We also may utilize currency forwards as hedges of our related foreign net investments. We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges.  If a contract does not qualify for hedge accounting or is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the contract are recorded in earnings.  Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment account within OCI, produced a $24 million after-tax gain in the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an accumulated net gain balance of $38 million at April 2, 2011.  The ineffective portion of these hedges was insignificant.

Impaired Finance Receivables — Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables are included in the table above since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Fair values of collateral are determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, our recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models. Fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables resulted in charges to provision for loan losses and primarily were related to initial fair value adjustments.

Finance Receivables Held for Sale — Finance receivables held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.  As a result of our plan to exit the non-captive Finance business certain finance receivables are classified as held for sale.  At April 2, 2011, the finance receivables held for sale are primarily assets in the golf mortgage and timeshare product lines.  Timeshare finance receivables classified as held for sale were identified at the individual loan level; whereas the majority of golf course mortgages were identified as a portion of a larger portfolio with common characteristics based on the intention to balance the sale of certain loans with the collection of others to maximize economic value.  In the first quarter of 2011, certain golf course mortgages were identified at the individual loan level as a result of their inclusion in a portfolio sale subsequent to the end of the quarter.  These finance receivables are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during periods in which the fair value is lower than the cost value.

There are no active, quoted market prices for our finance receivables. The estimate of fair value was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models to estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the principal market for each type of loan in an orderly transaction, which includes both the sale of pools of similar assets and the sale of individual loans. The models we used incorporate estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and credit line utilization rates. Where available, assumptions related to the expectations of current market participants are compared with observable market inputs, including bids from prospective purchasers of similar loans and certain bond market indices for loans perceived to be of similar credit quality. Although we utilize and prioritize these market observable inputs in our discounted cash flow models, these inputs are not typically derived from markets with directly comparable loan structures, industries and collateral types. Therefore, all valuations of finance receivables held for sale involve significant management judgment, which can result in differences between our fair value estimates and those of other market participants.

Other assets — Other assets include repossessed assets and properties, operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables and other investments, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and have no active, quoted market prices.  The fair value of these assets is determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, our recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models.  For our other investments, the discounted cash flow models incorporate assumptions specific to the nature of the investments’ business and underlying assets and include industry valuation benchmarks such as discount rates, capitalization rates and cash flow multiples.

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions.  At April 2, 2011 and January 2, 2010, approximately 35% and 33%, respectively, of the fair value of term debt for the Finance group was determined based on observable market transactions.  The remaining Finance group debt was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations. We utilize the same valuation methodologies to determine the fair value estimates for finance receivables held for investment as used for finance receivables held for sale.

Note 13:  Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for continuing operations of $15 million for both the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 equated to an effective income tax rate of 32.6% and 136.4%, respectively.  The decrease in the rate was primarily attributable to the write-off of an $11 million deferred tax asset related to a change in the tax treatment of the Medicare Part D program due to U.S. health-care law enacted in the first quarter of 2010 which equated to an effective income tax rate impact of 98.2%.

Note 14:  Segment Information

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance.  Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses and special charges.  The measurement for the Finance segment excludes special charges and includes interest income and expense, along with intercompany interest expense.  Provisions for losses on finance receivables involving the sale or lease of our products are recorded by the selling manufacturing division when our Finance group has recourse to the Manufacturing group.

% change compared with prior period
    12 %        

Revenues increased $269 million, 12%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010.  This increase was due to revenue increases in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments that were partially offset by lower revenue in the Finance and Textron Systems segments.  The net revenue increase included the following factors:

·  
Higher revenues of $131 million in the Bell segment, largely due to higher volume in the V-22 program;
·  
An increase in Cessna’s revenue of $123 million, primarily due to the mix of light- and mid-size Citation business jets sold during the quarter; and
·  
Higher Industrial segment revenues of $78 million, largely due to higher volume reflecting improvements in the automotive industry;
·  
Partially offset by lower revenues at the Finance segment of $50 million, primarily attributable to the lower average finance receivable portfolio balance resulting from the continued liquidation; and
·  
A decrease in Textron Systems’ revenue of $13 million, largely due to lower aftermarket volume in the Land and Marine Systems product line.

Special Charges

Special charges of $12 million in the first quarter of 2010 represent restructuring costs incurred under the program that was completed at the end of 2010 and primarily represent severance costs.  There were no special charges in the first quarter of 2011.

Segment profit for the Industrial segment increased $12 million, 24%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010, primarily due to a $16 million impact from higher volume.  Inflation in excess of pricing largely reflects higher material costs in all of the industrial businesses and higher labor cost in our fuel systems and functional components business.  The improved cost performance largely reflects the timing of recoveries from customers related to engineering costs incurred in our fuel systems and functional components business.

Our plan to exit the non-captive commercial finance business in our Finance segment is being effected through a combination of orderly liquidation and selected sales of the remaining non-captive finance receivables.  The exit plan is expected to be substantially complete over the next three to five years.

Finance Revenues
Finance segment revenues decreased $50 million, 66%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010, primarily due to the following factors:
·  
$31 million attributable to the lower average finance receivable portfolio balance of $2.2 billion;
·  
$9 million in higher portfolio losses, net of gains; and
·  
$7 million of lower accretion of valuation allowance.

Portfolio losses, net of gains increased primarily as a result of a $13 million gain on the sale of a distribution finance receivable portfolio in the first quarter of 2010 and higher portfolio losses in the timeshare portfolio in the first quarter of 2011, primarily the result of an early payoff of one significant notes receivable loan, partially offset by lower impairment charges in the structured capital portfolio.

Finance Segment Loss
Finance segment loss decreased $14 million, 24%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010, primarily due to the following factors:
 
·  
$43 million in lower provision for loan losses, primarily the result of a decline in the accounts identified as nonaccrual during the quarter as compared to last year; and
·  
$10 million in lower operating and administrative expenses, primarily due to lower compensation expense associated with a workforce reduction in the non-captive business;
·  
Partially offset by a $20 million reduction in interest margin resulting from the lower average finance receivable portfolio balance of $2.2 billion;
·  
$9 million in higher portfolio losses, net of gains; and
·  
$7 million of lower accretion of valuation allowance.

Finance Portfolio Quality
The following table reflects information about the Finance segment’s credit performance related to finance receivables held for investment.  Finance receivables held for sale are reflected at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As a result, finance receivables held for sale are not included in the credit performance statistics below.

We believe that the percentage of nonaccrual finance receivables generally will remain high as we execute our non-captive liquidation plan.  The liquidation plan is also likely to result in a slower rate of liquidation for nonaccrual finance receivables.  See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information on the nonaccrual finance receivables by product line, along with a summary of finance receivables held for investment based on our internally assigned credit quality indicators.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc. consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of TFC, its consolidated subsidiaries and three other finance subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.  Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services.  Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:

We believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage.  We believe that with our existing cash balances, coupled with the continued successful execution of the exit plan for the non-captive portion of the commercial finance business, and cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations, we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs.

We maintain an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public debt and other securities.

On March 23, 2011, Textron Inc. entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion.  This facility agreement expires in March 2015 and replaces the $1.25 billion 5-year facility that was scheduled to expire in April 2012. TFC also has a credit facility that expires in April 2012.  During the first quarter of 2011, the borrowing capacity of TFC’s facility was reduced to an aggregate principal amount of $1.45 billion.  At April 2, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under the Textron Inc. facility and $1.2 billion outstanding under TFC’s facility.

In the first quarter of 2011, we liquidated $485 million of the Finance group’s finance receivables, net of originations. These finance receivable reductions occurred in both the non-captive and captive finance portfolios but were primarily driven by the non-captive portfolio in connection with our exit plan, including $272 million in the timeshare product line.  These reductions resulted from the combination of scheduled finance receivable collections, sales, discounted payoffs, repossession of collateral, charge-offs and impairment charges recorded as portfolio losses, net of gains in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  At April 2, 2011, $1.9 billion of finance receivables remained in the non-captive portfolio.

In 2009, we issued $600 million of 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2013 as discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  For at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended March 31, 2011, our common stock price exceeded the $17.06 per share conversion threshold price set forth for these Convertible Notes.  Accordingly, the notes are convertible at the holder’s option through June 30, 2011.  We may deliver shares of
 
 
26

 
common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.  We intend to settle the face value of the Convertible Notes in cash.  We have continued to classify these Convertible Notes as long term based on our intent and ability to maintain the debt outstanding for at least one year through the use of various funding sources available to us.

Manufacturing Group Cash Flows

Operating activities

Investing activities
    (121 )     (75 )
Financing activities
    129       (166 )

Cash flow from operating activities improved in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010 primarily due to higher earnings for the Manufacturing group, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization.  Cash used for restructuring activities totaled $22 million and $16 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We used more cash for investing activities largely due to higher capital expenditures, which totaled $78 million and $38 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2011, we began to issue commercial paper again for our short-term financing needs, ending the quarter with $203 million of outstanding borrowings.  We also loaned $60 million to the Finance group in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $150 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Capital Contributions Paid To and Dividends Received From TFC
Under a Support Agreement between Textron Inc. and TFC, Textron Inc. is required to maintain a controlling interest in TFC.  The agreement also requires Textron Inc. to ensure that TFC maintains fixed charge coverage of no less than 125% and consolidated shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million.  Cash contributions paid to TFC to maintain compliance with the Support Agreement and dividends paid by TFC to Textron Inc. are detailed below:

Capital contributions paid to TFC under Support Agreement
    (63     (75 )

An additional cash contribution of $49 million was paid to TFC on April 11, 2011 as required by the Support Agreement.

Due to the nature of these contributions, we classify these contributions within cash flows used by operating activities for the Manufacturing group in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  Capital contributions to support Finance group growth in the ongoing captive finance business are classified as cash flows from financing activities.  The Finance group’s net income (loss) is excluded from the Manufacturing group’s cash flows, while dividends from the Finance group are included within cash flows from operating activities for the Manufacturing group as they represent a return on investment.

Investing activities

Financing activities
    (482 )     (785 )

The Finance group used less cash for operating activities largely due to a $51 million payment made to the Manufacturing group in the first quarter of 2010 under the tax sharing agreement for which there were less than $1 million in tax payments
 
27

 
in the first quarter of 2011.  This was partially offset by lower earnings for the Finance group after adjusting for non-cash items such as provision for losses on finance receivables.

Cash receipts from the collection of finance receivables continued to outpace finance receivable originations, which resulted in net cash inflow from investing activities in both quarters.  Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales totaled $579 million and $937 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, while cash outflows for originations declined to $125 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $226 million in the first quarter of 2010.  These decreases were largely driven by the wind down of the non-captive finance receivable portfolio.

In the first quarter of 2011, TFC made a discretionary payment of $250 million against the outstanding balance on its bank line of credit; however, cash used for financing activities was lower in 2011 primarily due to $410 million in long-term debt repayments in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $925 million in the first quarter of 2010.  In addition, the Finance group received $144 million in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $20 million in the first quarter of 2010.

TFC borrowed $60 million and $150 million from Textron Inc. with interest in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, to pay down maturing debt.  As of April 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the outstanding balance due to Textron Inc. for these borrowings was $375 million and $315 million, respectively.

Cash flow from operating activities improved in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the corresponding period of 2010 primarily due to higher earnings for the Manufacturing group, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization.

Cash receipts from the collection of finance receivables continued to outpace finance receivable originations, which resulted in net cash inflow from investing activities in both quarters.  Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales totaled $458 million and $778 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, while cash outflows for originations declined to $76 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $145 million in the first quarter of 2010.  These decreases were largely driven by the wind down of the non-captive finance receivable portfolio.  We also had higher capital expenditures of $78 million and $38 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2011, we began to issue commercial paper again for our short-term financing needs, ending the quarter with $203 million of outstanding borrowings.  The net proceeds from these borrowings were more than offset by a $250 million discretionary payment made by TFC against the outstanding balance on its bank line of credit.  Total cash used for financing activities was lower in 2011 primarily due to lower repayments of long-term debt of $417 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $936 million in the first quarter of 2010.  In addition, we received proceeds of $144 million in the first quarter of 2011 from the issuance of debt, compared with $20 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions
The Finance group finances retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment in support of our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing.  In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers or from securitizations is reflected as operating activities when received from third parties.  However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based on the operations of each group.  For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows.  Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow.  Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing.  These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are reclassified or eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended April 2, 2011.  For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk contained in Textron’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act)) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

     ·
are not proper subjects for shareholder action under, or involve a violation of, applicable law;
     ·
are received during the period beginning 90 days prior to the anniversary of the prior annual meeting of shareholders and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders;
     ·
are substantially similar to another item, other than the election of directors, that was presented at a meeting of shareholders held within the prior 12 months, as determined in good faith by the Board; or
     ·
are substantially similar to another item that is included in our notice as an item of business to be brought before a shareholder meeting that has been called but not yet held or that is called for a date within 90 days of the receipt of the request, as determined in good faith by the Board.

ARTICLE I I.
 
Meetings of Stockholders.
 
Section 2.01. Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place either within or without the State of Delaware as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice of said meetings.
 
Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. (a) The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before the meeting shall be held on such day, at such time and in such place (either within or without the State of Delaware) as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.

(b) If the election of directors shall not be held on the day fixed by the Board of Directors for any annual meeting, or on the day of any adjourned session thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting as soon thereafter as conveniently may be. At such special meeting the stockholders may elect the directors and transact other business with the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held.

Section 2.03. Special Meetings. (a) A special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes proper under applicable law may be called at any time by (i) the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) the Board of Directors or (iii) the Secretary of the Corporation at the written request of one or more holders of record of the Corporation that have owned continuously for a period of at least one year at least twenty-five percent (25%) (the “Requisite Percent”) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, provided a special meeting called at the request of one or more stockholders (a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”) shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation only if such request complies with Sections 2.03(b) hereof. The business which may be transacted at a special meeting is limited to that set forth in the notice of special meeting and, if the notice so provides, such other matters as the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors may bring before the meeting.

(b) (1) In order for a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to be called by the Secretary, one or more written requests for a special meeting (individually or collectively, a “Special Meeting Request”) signed and dated by the stockholders of record that own the Requisite Percent of common stock of the Corporation (or their duly authorized agents), must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and must set forth:
 
 

 
 
(i)  
as to each stockholder of the Corporation signing such request (or on whose behalf such request is signed) and the beneficial owner(s), if any, on whose behalf such request is made, the information required under Section 2.04(c)(iii), (iv) and (v) of these By-Laws, and an affidavit by each such person stating the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation that it has owned for at least one year as of such date;
(ii)  
in the case of any director nominations proposed to be presented at such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, the information required by Section 2.04(c)(i);
(iii)  
in the case of any matter (other than a director nomination) proposed to be conducted at such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, the information required by Section 2.04(c)(ii); and
(iv)  
an acknowledgement by the requesting stockholders and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made that such Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to be revoked (and any meeting scheduled in response may be cancelled) if such requesting stockholders do not own at least the Requisite Percent at all times between the date on which such Special Meeting Request is delivered and the date of the applicable Stockholder Requested Special Meeting and an agreement by such stockholder(s) to notify the Corporation immediately in the case of any disposition of shares of common stock of the Corporation resulting in such revocation.

One or more written requests for a special meeting delivered to the Secretary shall constitute a valid Special Meeting Request only if each such written request satisfies the requirements set forth above and has been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty days of the earliest dated of such requests. If the record holder is not the signatory to the Special Meeting Request, such Special Meeting Request will not be valid unless documentary evidence is supplied to the Secretary at the time of delivery of such Special Meeting Request (or within ten business days thereafter) of such signatory’s authority to execute the Special Meeting Request on behalf of the record holder. Any requesting stockholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation; provided, however, that if following such revocation (or any deemed revocation pursuant to clause (iii) above), the unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests represent in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percent, there shall be no requirement to hold a special meeting. The determination of the validity of a Special Meeting Request shall be made in good faith by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the stockholders and the date of such determination is referred to herein as the “Request Receipt Date”.

(2) A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid if:

(i)  
the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under, or involves a violation of, applicable law;
(ii)  
the Request Receipt Date occurs during the period commencing ninety days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the most recent annual meeting of stockholders and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders;
(iii)  
the purpose specified in the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business (other than the election of directors) that is identical or substantially similar (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, a “Similar Item”) to an item of business that was presented at any meeting of stockholders held within the twelve months prior to the Request Receipt Date; or
(iv)  
a Similar Item is included in the Corporation’s notice as an item of business to be brought before a stockholder meeting that has been called or that is called for a date within ninety days of the Request Receipt Date.
     
(3) Any special meeting of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors in accordance with these By-Laws and in compliance with the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided, however, that a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be called for a date not more than ninety days after the Request Receipt Date unless a later date is required in order to allow the Corporation to file the information required under Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), if applicable.
     
(4) Business transacted at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose(s) stated in the valid Special Meeting Request(s) received from the Requisite Percent of record holders and (ii) any
 
 
2

 

additional matters that the Board of Directors determines to include in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting. If none of the stockholders who submitted the Special Meeting Request appears or sends a qualified representative to present the matters to be presented for consideration that were specified in the Stockholder Meeting Request, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.

Section 2.04. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Other Business. (a) In order to assure that stockholders and the Corporation have a reasonable opportunity to consider nominations and other business proposed to be brought before a meeting of stockholders and to allow for full information to be distributed to stockholders, at any annual meeting or special meeting of the stockholders only such nominations may be made and only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to this Section 2.04 of these Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”).

Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these By-Laws, the only business (other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors in accordance with the foregoing sentence) which shall be conducted at any annual meeting of the stockholders or special meeting in lieu thereof called pursuant to Section 2.02(b) of these By-Laws shall be that business brought before the meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who shall have been a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.04 is delivered to the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who timely complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.04, and such other business must be a proper subject for stockholder action under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

To be timely in the case of a special meeting (including a special meeting held in lieu of an annual meeting) that is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, such notice must be received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day before the date of such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was first made, whichever occurs later, and otherwise must be received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the date by which a notice must be received with respect to the annual meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting or a special meeting commence a new period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) The stockholder’s notice provided for in this Section 2.04 shall be addressed and delivered to the Secretary and shall set forth:
(i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person; (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person; (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person; and (D) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”);

(e) The Chairman of the Board of Directors may, if the facts warrant, determine that a notice received by the Corporation relating to a nomination proposed to be made or an item of business proposed to be introduced at a meeting of stockholders does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.04 (including if the stockholder does not provide the information and representations required under Section 2.04(c)(iii)(B) and 2.04(c)(iv)(A)-(C) to the Corporation within five business days following the record date for the meeting), and if it be so determined, shall so declare and any such nomination or other business shall not be introduced at such meeting of stockholders, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matters may have been received.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was an Indemnitee against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to a proceeding to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XII, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Article XII in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

(d) To the extent that an Indemnitee shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or in any action, suit or proceeding brought by an Indemnitee to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted pursuant to this Article XII, such person shall be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(e) Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of such disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no disinterested directors, or the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
