2 In 2007 we acquired Armor Holdings. The integration of corporate responsibility data from that business is underway and will be reported in 2008.
3 The decrease in 2007 over 2006 in days lost recorded due to work-related injuries reflects a much improved performance in our Surface Fleet Solutions business, which reduced the number of days lost by 75% over 2006 levels.
4 Our energy use is directly related to volumes of product manufacture and throughput of specific projects. The decrease shown in energy use, despite increases in volume and throughput, reflects a specific focus at a number of businesses on energy management and efficient operations.
