Contingencies
|
·
|
an
increase in cost in our Logistics segment associated with the vertical
integration of certain test and repair services that were previously
outsourced;
|
·
|
an
increase in cost in our Logistics segment associated with the launch
of a
new test and repair program in a new market;
|
·
|
lower
volumes of Ford and Chrysler transmissions we believe to be largely
the
result of comparatively higher sales in 2005 due to inventory increases
in
our customers’ distribution channels during the third and fourth quarters
of 2005; we believe these higher inventory positions returned to
historical levels during the first half of
2006;
|
·
|
scheduled
price reductions to certain customers in our Drivetrain and Logistics
segments pursuant to recent contract
renewals;
|
·
|
a
reduction in volume of DaimlerChrysler remanufactured transmissions
due to
DaimlerChrysler’s decision not to use remanufactured transmissions for
warranty repairs generally for model years 2003 and later, resulting
in one less model year being in our warranty program each year (in
2005
DaimlerChrysler reversed this decision so we expect to see an increase
in
warranty volume in the future as they begin to add later models and
model
years to the warranty program);
|
·
|
a
reduction in volume of Honda remanufactured transmissions for use
in
warranty applications and
|
·
|
an
increase in development costs in our Drivetrain segment associated
with
the NuVinci™
continuously variable planetary (“CVP”) technology,
|
·
|
an
increase in volumes in our Logistics segment, primarily related to
the
launch and roll-out of new business added during 2005 with Cingular,
and
to a lesser extent, Nokia, LG, T-Mobile and Thales, coupled with
an
increase in our base business with Cingular; and
|
·
|
an
increase in volume of medium/heavy duty remanufactured transmissions
in
our Drivetrain segment related to the roll-out of the program we
launched
for Allison in the fourth quarter of 2005 (under the terms of our
remanufacturing program with Allison, we are required to purchase
the
transmission core; accordingly, our results for the three months
ended
September 30, 2006 reflect $5.7 million for core included in both
net
sales and cost of goods sold);
|
·
|
a
one-time sale in 2005 of $9.6 million of transmission components
at cost
relating to end-of-life support for an OEM transmission program that
ceased production in late 2000;
|
·
|
lower

the
result of comparatively higher sales in 2005 due to inventory increases
in
our customers’ distribution channels during the third and fourth quarters
