Audi, Renault, PSA, BMW, Ford and Fiat. In 2004, the Company announced that it would supply the 3.0 liter, 6-cylinder engine for the BMW 5-series with its regulated two-stage turbocharging system known as R2S®. The system allows continuously variable adaption of the turbine and compressor side for every operating point of the engine. In 2005, the Company announced the start of production of R2S® for medium truck applications. In 2005, the Company also announced that it would supply turbochargers for VW/ Audi’s 2.0 liter gasoline direct injection engine as well as for the first dual-charged 1.4 liter gasoline direct injection engine. These products are provided from facilities in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.
      The Engine Group’s products in chain and chain systems include timing chain and timing chain systems, crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, chain tensioners, guides and snubbers, HY-VO® Front-Wheel Drive (“FWD”) transmission chain and Four-Wheel Drive (“4WD”) chain, and MORSE GEMINI® chain systems for light vehicle and commercial vehicle applications.
      The Company’s timing chain systems are used on Ford’s family of overhead cam engines, including the Duratech and Triton, and in-line 4 cylinder engines, as well as on Chrysler’s 2.7 liter, 3.7 liter, 4.7 liter and 5.7 liter overhead cam engines, which includes the Hemi applications. In addition, the Company provides timing systems to a number of Asian OEMs and their North American transplant operations, including Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai, and to several European OEMs. The Company believes that it is the world’s leading manufacturer of timing chain systems.
      The Engine Group also has started production of its first high-volume variable cam timing (“VCT”) systems for a new family of GM V6 engines. VCT is a means of precisely controlling the flow of air into and out of an engine by allowing the camshaft to be dynamically phased relative to its crankshaft. The Company’s VCT system includes Torsional Assisttm technology, which utilizes camshaft torque as its actuation energy instead of the conventional oil-pressure actuated approach. The VCT systems are utilized by GM’s new 3.5 liter and 3.9 liter V-6 engines in the 2006 model year Chevrolet Impala and Pontiac G6.
      HY-VO® chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain. The Company’s MORSE GEMINI® chain system emits significantly less chain pitch frequency noise than conventional transmission chain systems. The chain in a transfer case distributes power between the front and rear output shafts which, in turn, drive the front and rear wheels. The Company believes it is the world’s leading manufacturer of chain for FWD transmissions and 4WD transfer cases. These products are provided from facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
      The Engine Group also manufactures a wide variety of fluid pumps, including engine hydraulic pumps for variable cam timing and engine lubrication, and products for engine air intake management. Key products for engine air intake management include throttle bodies, electronic throttle control, and complete engine induction modules. The Engine Group also designs and manufactures products to control emissions and improve gas mileage such as electric air pumps, variable force solenoids for the actuation of cam phasing systems and exhaust gas recirculation valves for gasoline and diesel applications. These products are provided from facilities in North America and Europe.
      The Engine Group is a global provider of engine thermal solutions. The group manufactures and markets air sensing fan drives that mechanically control and electronically control fans to sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements. The Engine Group also manufactures and markets polymer fans for engine cooling systems. The Company’s thermal products provide improved vehicle fuel economy and reduced engine emissions while minimizing parasitic horsepower loss. These advanced thermal systems products are provided from facilities in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The Company is a leading global provider of such products, but competes with other large independent producers. This business serves the global light, medium, and heavy vehicle markets, as well as selected off-highway applications.

These products are provided from facilities located in Europe, Asia and North America.
Drivetrain
      The Drivetrain Group leverages the Company’s clutching and controls expertise for efficient torque management, developing interactive electronic control systems and strategies for the Company’s traditional mechanical products. The Drivetrain Group’s major products are transmission components and systems, and all-wheel drive (“AWD”) torque management systems.
      The Drivetrain Group engineers and manufactures components and modules for automatic transmissions in North America, Asia and Europe. Principal product lines include friction plates, one-way clutches, transmission bands and torque converter lock-up clutches for automatic transmissions. The Company is a supplier to virtually every major automatic transmission manufacturer in the world. The Company’s 50%-owned joint venture in Japan, NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha (“NSK-Warner”), is a leading producer of friction plates and one-way clutches in Japan. NSK-Warner is the joint venture partner with a 40% interest in the Drivetrain Group’s Korean subsidiary, BorgWarner Transmission Systems Korea, Inc.
      The Drivetrain Group also designs and manufactures sophisticated electro-mechanical, mechanical and electronic components and systems used for automated transmissions. Key products for transmission controls include single function solenoids, complex solenoids and multi-function modules.
      In 2003, the Company launched its DualTronictm transmission technology on the VW Golf R32 DSG and the Audi TT 3.2. The technology provides the smooth-shifting convenience of an automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission. Through advanced electrohydraulic controls and a unique two-clutch wet-friction system, DualTronictm technology eliminates the disruptive feel of a manual transmission gear shift. This technology is being launched across the entire VW Group vehicle family, including VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat.
      There has been a noticeable trend in transmission technology from four and five speed to six and seven speed transmissions. Transmissions with more speeds improve fuel economy and vehicle performance. These transmissions are being developed by a variety of transmission manufacturers, including ZF, Aisin AW, Hyundai, DaimlerChrysler, GM, Ford and Jatco. The Company supplies products for four, five, six, and seven speed transmissions, including solenoids, transmission control modules, friction plates and clutching mechanisms.
      The Company’s torque management products include 4WD, AWD transfer cases and systems for rear-wheel drive vehicles, and torque management products and systems to transfer torque within the drivetrain for FWD/AWD based vehicles. The main focus is on electronically controlled (active) torque management devices and systems. Other torque management products include synchronizer rings and systems for application in manual and automated transmissions.
      Transfer cases are installed primarily on light trucks, sport-utility vehicles (“SUVs”), and rear-wheel drive based cross-over vehicles (“CUVs”). A transfer case attaches to the transmission and distributes torque to the front and rear axles for 4WD, improving vehicle control during off-road use and in a variety of road conditions. The Company has designed and developed an exclusive 4WD TORQUE-ON-DEMAND® (“TOD®”) transfer case system, which allows vehicles to automatically shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD when electronic data and sensors indicate it is necessary. The TOD® transfer case is available on the Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator and SsangYong Musso. In 2001, this technology was also adopted by Hyundai for its Terracan SUV, and was launched

Customers
      Approximately 73% of the Company’s total sales in 2005 were for light vehicle applications, with the remaining 27% of the Company’s sales to a diversified group of commercial truck, bus, construction and agricultural vehicle manufacturers, and to distributors of aftermarket replacement parts.
      For the most recent three-year period, the Company’s worldwide sales to the following customers were approximately as follows:
                         
Customer   2005   2004   2003
             
Ford
    16%       21%       23%  
Volkswagen
    13%       10%       8%  
DaimlerChrysler
    12%       14%       17%  
General Motors
    9%       10%       12%  
      Approximately 55% of consolidated sales for 2005 were outside the United States, including exports. However, a portion of such sales were to OEMs headquartered outside the United States that produce vehicles that are, in turn, exported to the United States. See Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
      The Company’s automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs substantially pursuant to negotiated annual contracts, long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be modified by the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon the production schedules of the OEMs. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.
Sales and Marketing
      Each of the Company’s business units within its two operating segments has its own sales function. Account executives for each business unit are assigned to serve specific OEM customers for one or more of a business unit’s products. Such account executives spend the majority of their time in direct contact with OEM purchasing and engineering employees and are responsible for servicing existing business and for identifying and obtaining new business. Because of their close relationship with the OEMs, account executives are able to identify and meet customers’ needs based upon their knowledge of the Company’s products and design and manufacturing capabilities. Upon securing a new order, account executives participate in product launch team activities and as a key interface with the customers.
      In addition, between the Engine segment and the Drivetrain segment, sales and marketing employees work together to explore cross-development opportunities for the business units. The development of DualTronictm, the Company’s wet-clutch and control-system technology for a new-concept automated transmission, is an example of a successful collaboration.
Seasonality
      The Company’s business is moderately seasonal because the Company’s largest North American customers typically halt vehicle production for approximately two weeks in July and one week in December. Additionally, customers in Europe and Asia typically shut down vehicle production during portions of July or August and one week in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, the Company’s third and fourth quarters may reflect those practices.
Research and Development
      The Company conducts advanced engine and drivetrain research at the segment level. This advanced engineering function looks to leverage electronics and the Company’s expertise across product lines to create new engine and drivetrain systems and modules that can be commercialized. A venture capital fund that was created by the Company as seed money for new innovation and collaboration across businesses is managed by this function.

Table of Contents

      In addition, each of the Company’s operating segments has its own research and development (“R&D”) organization. The Company has 811 employees, including engineers, mechanics and technicians, engaged in R&D activities at facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype, measurement and calibration, life cycle testing and dynamometer laboratories.
      By working closely with the OEMs and anticipating their future product needs, the Company’s R&D personnel conceive, design, develop and manufacture new proprietary automotive components and systems. R&D personnel also work to improve current products and production processes. The Company believes its commitment to R&D will allow it to obtain new orders from its OEM customers.
      Consistent with its strategy of developing technologically innovative products, the Company spent approximately $161.0 million, $123.1 million, and $118.2 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, on R&D activities. Not included in the reported R&D activities were customer-sponsored R&D activities of approximately $33.3 million, $31.8 million, and $22.3 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
Patents and Licenses
      The Company has approximately 3,500 active domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pending or under preparation, and receives royalties from licensing patent rights to others. While it considers its patents on the whole to be important, the Company does not consider any single patent, group of related patents or any single license essential to its operations in the aggregate or to the operations of any of the Company’s business groups individually. The expiration of the patents individually and in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or future operating results. The Company owns numerous trademarks, some of which are valuable, but none of which are essential to its business in the aggregate.
      The Company owns the “BorgWarner” and “Borg-Warner Automotive” trade names and housemarks, and variations thereof, which are material to the Company’s business.
Competition
      The Company’s operating segments compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company. Price, quality and technological innovation are the primary elements of competition.
      The Company’s major competitors include:

      In addition, a number of the Company’s major OEM customers manufacture, for their own use and for others, products which compete with the Company’s products. Although these OEM customers

Table of Contents

have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, the OEMs could elect to manufacture products to meet their own requirements or to compete with the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s business will not be adversely affected by increased competition in the markets in which it operates.
      For many of its products, the Company’s competitors include suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs and, in some cases, export subsidies and/or raw materials subsidies.
Employees
      As of December 31, 2005, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had approximately 17,400 salaried and hourly employees (as compared with approximately 14,500 employees at December 31, 2004), of which approximately 7,600 were U.S. employees. Included in these 17,400 employees are approximately 2,700 Beru employees. Approximately 24% of the Company’s U.S. workers are unionized. The hourly workers at the Company’s non-U.S. operations are typically unionized. The Company believes its present relations with employees to be satisfactory.
Raw Materials
      Continuing a trend which began in 2004, several raw materials used in the Company’s products hit record pricing levels, including steel, copper, resins, and certain alloying elements. This was due to a host of market factors, not the least of which included global growth demands and the effects of devastating hurricanes in North America.
      Despite these challenges, the Company used a variety of tactics in order to limit the impact of inflationary prices and supply shortages. The Company formed a global procurement organization to accelerate: cost reductions, purchases from lower cost regions, risk mitigation efforts, and collaborative buying activities. In addition, the Company used long-term contracts, cost sharing arrangements, design changes, customer buy programs, and hedging instruments to help control costs. The Company intends to use similar measures in 2006 and beyond.
      For 2006, each of the Company’s operating segments believes that its supplies of raw materials and energy are adequate and available from multiple sources to support its manufacturing requirements. Manufacturing operations for each of the Company’s operating segments are dependent upon natural gas, fuel oil, and electricity.
Environmental Regulation and Proceedings
      The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. The Company believes that it has operated its business and facilities in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, many of which provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. However, the operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas even for a company complying with all laws, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or liabilities. In addition, through various acquisitions over the years, the Company has acquired a number of manufacturing facilities and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities which predate the Company’s ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws, regulations or requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future.
      The Company believes that the overall impact of compliance with regulations and legislation protecting the environment will not have a material effect on its financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Capital expenditures and expenses in 2005 attributable to compliance with such legislation were not material.

      The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 38 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
      Based on the information available to the Company, which in most cases, includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other factors; the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at December 31, 2005 of approximately $38.3 million. Included in the total accrued liability is the $16.1 million anticipated remaining costs to settle all outstanding claims related to the Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant described separately below, which was included in the amount recorded in the second quarter of 2005. For the other 37 sites, we have accrued amounts that do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the costs related to any of these other individual sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cashflow, or financial condition. The Company expects to expend substantially all of this $38.3 million environmental accrued liability over the next three to five years.
      In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities relating to the past operations of Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s acquisition of Kuhlman Electric’s parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, during 1999. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant. Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged personal injury and property damage.
      The Company and other defendants, including the Company’s subsidiary Kuhlman Corporation, entered into a settlement in July 2005 regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $39.0 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in three approximately equal installments. The first two payments of $12.9 million were made in the third and fourth quarter of 2005 and the remaining installment of $13.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 2006.
      The same group of defendants entered into a settlement in October 2005 regarding approximately 9% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $5.4 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in two approximately equal installments in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. With this settlement, the Company and other defendants have resolved about 99% of the known personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our industry is cyclical and our results of operations will be adversely affected by industry downturns.
      Automotive and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors. Significant reduction in automotive or truck production would have a material adverse effect on our sales to OEMs and our financial position and operating results.
We are dependent on sport utility vehicle and light truck market segments.
      Some of our products, in particular four-wheel drive transfer cases, are currently used exclusively in four-wheel drive systems for sport utility vehicles and light trucks. For 2005, for example, sales of rear-wheel drive transfer cases represented approximately 12% of our total consolidated revenue. Any significant reduction in production in this market segment or loss of business in this market segment would have a material adverse effect on our sales to OEMs and our financial position and operating results.
We face strong competition.
      We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell products similar to ours. Price, quality, and technological innovation are the primary elements of competition. Our competitors include vertically integrated units of our major OEM customers, as well as a large number of independent domestic and international suppliers. We are not as large as a number of these companies and do not have as many financial or other resources. The competitive environment has changed dramatically over the past few years as our traditional U.S. OEM customers, faced with intense international competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components. As a result, we have experienced competition from suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages, such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs and, in some cases, export or raw materials subsidies. Increased competition could adversely affect our businesses.
We are under substantial pressure from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products.
      There is substantial and continuing pressure on OEMs to reduce costs, including costs of products we supply. Although OEMs have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, a number of our major OEM customers manufacture products for their own uses that directly compete with our products. These OEMs could elect to manufacture such products for their own uses in place of the products we currently supply. We believe that our ability to develop proprietary new products and to control our costs will allow us to remain competitive. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to improve or maintain our gross margins on product sales to OEMs or that the trend by OEMs toward increased outsourcing will continue.
      Annual price reductions to OEM customers appear to have become a permanent feature of our business environment. In 2005 and 2004, the combination of price reductions to customers and cost increases for material, labor, and overhead, totaled approximately $139.6 million and $127.8 million, respectively. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from our suppliers, improve production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, update product designs to reduce costs and develop new products the benefits of which support stable or increased prices. Our ability to pass through increased raw material costs to our OEM customers is limited, with cost recovery less than 100% and often on a delayed basis. We cannot assure you that we will be able to reduce costs in an amount equal to annual price reductions and increases in raw material costs.
We rely on sales to several major customers.
      Our worldwide sales in 2005 to Ford, Volkswagen, DaimlerChrysler, and General Motors constituted approximately 16%, 13%, 12%, and 9%, respectively, of our 2005 consolidated sales. These four

15


Table of Contents

customers constituted approximately 50% of our 2005 sales. Credit rating agencies rate two of these customers below investment grade. The corresponding percentages for 2004 were 21%, 10%, 14%, and 10%. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales in 2005 or 2004.
      Although we have had long-standing relationships with each of Ford, Volkswagen, DaimlerChrysler, and General Motors, and have sold a wide variety of products to various divisions of each company globally, the loss of any significant portion of our sales to any of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.
We are sensitive to the effects of our major customers’ labor relations.
      All three of our primary North American customers, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, and General Motors, have major union contracts with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. Because of domestic OEMs’ dependence on a single union, we are affected by labor difficulties and work stoppages at OEMs’ facilities. Similarly, a majority of our global customers’ operations outside of North America are also represented by various unions. Any extended work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.
Part of our labor force is unionized.
      As of December 31, 2005, approximately 24% of our U.S. hourly employees were unionized. Our two most significant domestic collective bargaining agreements are for our Muncie, Indiana plant and our Ithaca, New York plants. The Muncie agreement expires in May 2009 and the Ithaca agreement expires in October 2008. The hourly workers at our European and certain Asian facilities are also unionized. While we believe that our relations with our employees are good, a prolonged dispute with our employees could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulations.
      Our operations are subject to laws governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of waste and other materials. We believe that our business, operations, and activities have been and are being operated in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental and health and safety laws. However, the operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs or liabilities as a result. Furthermore, through various acquisitions over the years, we have acquired a number of manufacturing facilities, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur materials costs and liabilities relating to activities that predate our ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws that may be adopted in the future.
      We believe that the overall impact of compliance with regulations and legislation protecting the environment will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or operating results, but we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Capital expenditures and expenses in 2005 attributable to compliance with environmental laws were not material.
We may incur material costs related to product warranties, environmental and regulatory matters, litigation, and other claims.
      We and certain of our current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and equivalent state laws. As a result, as of December 31, 2005, we may be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 38 of these sites.

Table of Contents

      Based on information available to us, we have established an accrual in our financial statements for indicated environmental liabilities, with a balance of approximately $38.3 million at December 31, 2005. We currently expect this amount to be expended over the next three to five years.
      We believe that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or operating results, either because estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or because liability will be shared with other potentially responsible parties. However, we cannot assure you of the ultimate outcome.
      We provide warranties to our customers for some of our products. Under these warranties, we may be required to bear costs and expenses for the repair or replacement of these products. We cannot assure you that costs and expenses associated with these product warranties will not be material, or that those costs will not exceed any amounts accrued for such warranties in our financial statement.
      Based upon information available to us, we have established an accrual in our financial statements for product warranties, with a balance of approximately $44.0 million at December 31, 2005.
      We are also party to, or have an obligation to defend a party to, various legal proceedings, including those described in Note 14 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although we believe that none of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future operating results, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such matter or proceeding.
Our growth strategy may prove unsuccessful.
      We have a stated goal of increasing revenues and operating revenues at a rate greater than global vehicle production by increasing content per vehicle with innovative new components and through select acquisitions. We may not meet our goal because of any of the following: (a) a significant decrease in the production of sport utility vehicles and light trucks, high content vehicles for us; (b) the failure to develop new products which will be purchased by our customers; (c) technology changes rendering our products obsolete; (d) a reversal of the trend of supplying systems (which allows us to increase content per vehicle) instead of components; and (e) the failure to find suitable acquisition targets or the failure to integrate operations of acquired businesses quickly and cost effectively.
We are subject to risks related to our international operations.
      We have manufacturing and technical facilities in many regions and countries, including North America, Europe, China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Brazil and sell our products worldwide. For 2005, approximately 55 percent of our sales were outside North America. Consequently, our results could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, trade restrictions or prohibitions, import or other charges or taxes, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changing economic conditions, and political instability and disputes.
We may not realize sales represented by awarded business.
      We base our growth projections, in part, on commitments made by our customers. These commitments generally renew yearly during a program life cycle. If actual production orders from our customers do not approximate such commitments, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth and financial performance.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
      The Company has received no written comments regarding its periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of its 2005 fiscal year and that remain unresolved.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
      The Company is subject to a number of claims and judicial and administrative proceedings (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the Company’s business or relating to matters for which the Company may have a contractual indemnity obligation. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report for a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation, which is incorporated herein by reference.
      A declaratory judgment action was filed by a subsidiary of the Company, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. (“DTP”), in January 2006 in the United Stated District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America, Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP is seeking the Court’s affirmation that DTP will not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by amending certain retirees’ medical plans, effective March 12, 2006. DTP believes that it is within its rights to amend the plan and that it will be successful on the merits of the lawsuit, although there can be no guarantee of success in any litigation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
      There were no matters submitted to the Company’s security holders during the fourth quarter of 2005.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
      The Company’s Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BWA. As of February 10, 2006, there were 2,763 holders of record of Common Stock.
      The Company has increased its dividend during each of the last four years. During 2004, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 on a pre-split basis. In May 2004, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split, thereby adjusting the quarterly dividend to $0.125. For the first quarter of 2005, the Company announced an increase in the cash dividend from $0.125 per share to $0.14 per share. The Company announced an increase of the cash dividend from $0.14 per share to $0.16 per share for the first quarter of 2006. While the Company currently expects that comparable quarterly

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
      Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
      The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. This evaluation included consideration of the restatements described below and in Note 18 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
      The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report below.
      The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

      Changes in Internal Control
      The Company purchased a 69.4% stake in Beru in January 2005. The Company considers the acquisition of Beru to be material to the results of its operations, financial position and cash flows from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2005, and believes that the internal controls and procedures of Beru have a material effect on internal control over financial reporting. Throughout 2005 the Company went through a process to coordinate the internal control processes at Beru and has extended its Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 compliance program to include Beru at December 31, 2005.
      In connection with the coordination of the internal controls and processes of Beru, Beru made improvements to its internal controls and the Company improved its monitoring of the preparation of financial information at Beru and other reporting units. The Company and Beru made the following improvements to internal control over financial reporting to remediate a control deficiency at Beru which resulted in the correction discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements;
  •  Implementation of additional reporting from the reporting units to the corporate treasury group related to liquidity, including financial instruments. This information requires details on any marketable securities with maturity dates greater than 90 days.
 
  •  The maturity profile of financial instruments received from the reporting units is reviewed and any marketable securities with maturity dates greater than 90 days is noted. This procedure is reviewed and documented on a quarterly basis.
 
  •  Internal reporting was changed to facilitate the reporting of marketable securities in the financial information received by corporate treasury from the reporting units.
 
  •  The status of any marketable securities with maturities greater than 90 days is reviewed during quarterly balance sheet review meetings.
      There have been no other changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BorgWarner Inc.:
      We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
      We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
      Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
      In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
      We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
